Hello, I'm 0xDeadbeef!
Feel free to ping me in reply to any comment made by me.
Administrators: if you disagree with any of my actions, feel free to revert it and leave a talk message so we can discuss it.
Hi!
editJust to let you know when in dark mode your signature is read difficult to read, and specifically comments highlighted as part of notifications become illegible. If you'd be willing to consider a lighter colour scheme for accessibility that'd be great. CNC (talk) 13:03, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Thanks for the nudge. This should be fixed now :D 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 13:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looks great, thanks. Also gives you the inverted appearance you were looking for :) CNC (talk) 13:37, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Guptalab SPI
editHi, Following the recent Guptalab SPI, I've nominated the effected article for speedy deletion (on the basis that it was created by a user who was evading a block). This has now been contested by an account which opened a couple of hours ago and which I'd suggest is obviously another sockpuppet. Is there anything that can be done to prevent the subject from continually creating new accounts and preventing the deletion? Last time (2017) he created several to try to influence the AfD, albeit unsuccessfully. Would, for example, page protection be the way to go? I'm not sure that I see how that would prevent it, do you have any other ideas? Best wishes, Axad12 (talk) 17:26, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Article now deleted, so problem gone (until the sockmaster re-emerges, as he no doubt will one day).
- Many thanks for your help with the SPI. Axad12 (talk) 19:21, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
AfD stats
edithttps://afdstats.toolforge.org/ lists Enterprisey and Σ.
Neither have edited recently. Enterprisey's talkpage lists you as a maintainer of apersonbot on Toolforge.
Since afdstats is also on toolforge I am hoping you can keep that alive as well.
Am I making any sense whatsoever? Am I in the right place? Polygnotus (talk) 09:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you are in the right place. I an just busy at the moment. I can't give an ETA for this, so feel free to nudge me however frequent you see appropriate. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 03:12, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! No worries, Ahecht restarted it and that fixed it. Polygnotus (talk) 04:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Help me? About a educational Institute.
edithi, I want to add a schools information in Wikipedia. How can I create a page for this Educational Institute. The institute is known as Khagrabondo Adorsho Bidda Niketon,Badargang.Please help me to create the article. মোঃ আহসান হাবিব রিফাত (talk) 06:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @মোঃ আহসান হাবিব রিফাত: Feel free to take a look at the Article wizard and make sure you have reliable sources that can help establish its notability. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 09:38, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I want to report a problem
editGreetings. I am Risantana, a self-confirmed user of the Spanish Wikipedia with 15 years on the platform. I collaborate mainly by making vector images for the articles on the Dominican Republic on Wikipedia.
I would like to report a user who is making drawings of flags and bodies of the Dominican armed forces in SVG format that are not faithful to the originals that these institutions show, and are even poorly drawn.
The "user" in question is 0Username1233451
Is there a way to block this user and delete their contributions?
i think is a good measure to stop this graphic vandalism.
Take care. Risantana (talk) 16:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Risantana: I am not a commons admin so I can't help with that. Try going to commons:Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems if there is a problem with the uploads by said user. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 08:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Something interesting..
editLook at the following AfDs:
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in cryptography
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in computer science (2nd nomination)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in theoretical computer science (2nd nomination)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in geology (3rd nomination)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in concurrent, parallel, and distributed computing (2nd nomination)
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications in sociology
If you went through everything in Special:PrefixIndex/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important publications, you'd see that all the recent ones had been closed as Delete.
But in Special:PrefixIndex/List of important publications, a lot of articles still remain. I personally like how the list for biology was turned into a valid article: bibliography of biology which collects notable works instead of the others that are full of OR. I don't think that can be done for all topics, where there might not be a lot of publications that are notable. Like List of important publications in data science.
I don't know if a mass AfD should be started, but there are plenty of problematic articles. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:09, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – September 2024
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2024).
- Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which
applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past
. - A request for comment is open to discuss whether Notability (species) should be adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- Following a motion, remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) were repealed.
- Remedy 3C of the German war effort case ("Cinderella157 German history topic ban") was suspended for a period of six months.
- The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
- Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in September 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,900 articles and 26,200 redirects awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
Tech News: 2024-36
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help to test the charts.
Feature news
- Editors who use the Special:UnusedTemplates page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [1] - Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will now be reminded to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
- Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [2]
- Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the new dropdown menu.
Project updates
- A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.
Learn more
- To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
- Charts, the successor of Graphs - A secure and extensible tool for data visualization (25 mins) – about the above-mentioned Charts project.
- State of Language Technology and Onboarding at Wikimedia (90 mins) – about some of the language tools that support Wikimedia sites, such as Content/Section Translation, MinT, and LanguageConverter; also the current state and future of languages onboarding. [3]
