Please stop.

Thanks for the thoughtful discussion in this AfD. FWIW, I share your skepticism about corporate articles and think they're often excessively promotional. In this case, I think there's enough coverage for someone to write a more balanced page discussing criticism of IvyWise and the industry it's part of. pburka (talk) 16:04, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

Extraordinary Writ - When I first applied for TAIV

Hello, IrisChronomia. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember: You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy. Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion). It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see: When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account. Revealing an IP address of a temporary account. Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format). Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:59, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

You're kidding me. I appended English translation behind it in the same edit.

Given the LLM signs included in the draft, I don't even think if they can comprehend English. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 07:08, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

I think I've tried my best to not include non-English content on enwiki. The only instances I've used zh-cn (before a translation) is in user spaces - for communication. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 07:14, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Your gravedancing in Chinese prompted a whole bunch of Chinese language insults in reply for which I had to remove the user's talk page access. Cabayi (talk) 07:27, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes. That is a legitimate and very meaningful criticism. I accept this and think I should trout myself for this.

I was thinking the same about the not insulting the vandals part. I guess I was being too fed up with the advertising landscape here that I lost my cool.

Thank you, Cabayi, for the advice. I'm sorry. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 07:32, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

See , , and User_talk:Tehila.stern. It appears to have been speedied for the COI, then undeleted because she's his daughter?? (Which doesn't preclude being paid, which appears to have been overlooked.) Seems it's been problematic from the start. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 21:46, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

To be a direct relative would immediately make it an unequivocal case of COI, in which cases users must not publish or edit the article themselves. At least, that's ENwiki's rules in 2026. It might have been different before, but. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 09:18, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

But also, like, y'know, every Wikipedia articles aren't owned by its initial creators, and what it says and/or if it should even be deleted is up to the community.

If someone is brave enough to put an article about themselves on Wikipedia, they should get ready for Wikipedian-levels of scrutiny. Sometimes not having an article here is a better option, public image-wise. But since the article is already here... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 09:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm just baffled that the entire basis for undeleting when it has already been declared problematic appears to have been the fact that she was his daughter instead of an employee (but actually both). And it's not remotely surprising that more would come along to keep trying to nudge it in their preferred direction, as per usual.

Also, it's only 6 years old, so I doubt COI protocols have changed all that much. I'd be less surprised on a 20 year old article. I've seen some very interesting page histories from the early days. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 14:48, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

I know. I chased all the related editors and their contribs and decided there's no more disruption in need for any actions anymore; the restorer would be sent straight to UPE/AIV with their 300 contribs and apparently unbelievable fluency in WikiNouns, but that editor stopped editing c. 2023, so.

I've seen many suspicious accounts with 3-digit edit counts. I guess it's hard to get to 4 digits without getting too much attention than just starting a new one. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 18:18, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

But the admin there had to do the actual restoration, right? It was a justified speedy, not a PROD, so I don't understand why they accepted that reasoning. Oh well.

I've got another complicated situation I'll probably email you about later. Trying to figure out the best way to handle it. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 18:31, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

This is inappropriate. These noticeboards exist for editors to get broader community input and there is some allowance, especially from inexperienced editors, for suboptimal reports. Further, bringing them to AIV was also inappropriate. Their editing in no way qualifies as vandalism. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:39, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes, [don't know how to address] admin. I am sorry, and I repent. T.T 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 11:42, 14 August 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, the connotations in English aren't great. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 05:18, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

I don't know if I should be pinging for this, but I think this thing I just collapsed is egregious / time-wasting enough to warrant a col. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 12:08, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Don't do that. That didn't collapse the thread, it removed just part of a discussion and removed context from a number of replies. If something has already been responded to definitely don't move comments around to collapse just one editor. Also, don't make personal commentary on editors especially if you're collapsing their text. That was inappropriate all around. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:19, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

I understand; thank you, [honorific title of my choice here]. I'll remember this. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk} 12:23, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know that your line "it's like having one's mind filled with static and white noise" resonated with me. Unfortunately, I find it very evocative, and a good expression of a feeling that I'm all too familiar with. The translated lyrics below it also struck a chord quite deeply with me.

That's it, just wanted to share. Wishing us both days of more internal birdsong and sunshine, and nights of more blessed and peaceful quiet.

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User Talk:Ldm1954. I reverted the comment you added to a polite question from a novice user. It was highly inappropriate, bothe violating WP:5P4 and being very aggressive towards a novice editor, WP:DONTBITE Ldm1954 (talk) 12:22, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

@Ldm1954, I re-read the comment made by @IrisChronomia, but I could not see how it violates WP:5P4 or WP:DONTBITE. First of all, the user in question has 800+ edits, so they are certainly not novice editor. Second, there was no insult, no personal attack, etc. On what basis do you claim these guidelines were violated? Furthermore, please take a look at IrisChronomia's user page. Morris (talk with this worm) 13:52, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

I wouldn't consider it an aggressive reply either, but I'm confused by it as the original request seems perfectly polite to me, unless I'm missing something. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 14:06, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

@Morrisworm @ChompyTheGogoat, the original request was certainly polite. (I have been asked by the same user for advice once before, and he has always been polite and followed suggestions.) If you look at the thread you will see that the reply was interpreted by the requester as a PE suggestion. Why @IrisChronomia should feel it appropriate for him to respond to a request for advice on my talk page is odd.

The number of edits does not matter that much. From my interactions I know that the requester is working his way through the issues of how to write (and how not to write) an article so in that respect is definitely a newbie. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:29, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

I think that part was just a misunderstanding on their part, because the phrasing was pretty standard for a "We're all volunteers here; just be patient and someone will reply when they have time" sort of response to requests that are rude and demanding, which we see plenty of. IC stepped in for me in a similar situation with someone who was insisting their COI edit request needed my immediate attention. I guess they both misread the situation in this case. ChompyTheGogoat (talk) 14:50, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

Sorry. I think I had been stalking some AfC reviewers' talk page for way too long and my Bayesian model is skewed towards underestimating new users' good faith values.

The aggressiveness is mainly for the perceived demanding attitude, but I agree that it was too much.

Though, I prefer a trout more than a template message. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 15:41, 23 August 2026 (UTC)

I was being defensive in this previous message (was leaving a videogame and shocked by an lv.2 message). I was thinking about this between then and now, and-

I think I need to lower my confidence score and learn to be humble again. To think twice before sending a pointy message (or any message, really), just like my earlier version of Wiki-self.

That things are identical edits to something done much earlier, weeks earlier, by someone else is precisely the thing that needs to be explained in an edit summary. If there had been edit summaries, and warnings--meaning a trail for admins to follow--I probably would have blocked already. Instead we're here, typing messages to each other, and now I'm working on something else. I love blocking, but I need evidence first. Drmies (talk) 13:55, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi, a tiny point about linking: there is no need to write [[Sugar|sugars]] and suchlike: all you need to do is to write [[sugar]]s and the job is done. A lowercase first letter is always ok, and any letters after the link will be treated as part of the link text. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:19, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello again, and thanks for your advice over at this ANI incident. The ANI noticeboard was semi-protected a few days ago: could you please update it with this info?

Throwaway account Special:contribs/Kevinjoel503k has made more of the same edits at Thomas Gillier, along with the usual TAs. I think it's time for a SPI. Thanks for any help you can offer with this. ~2026-47022-54 (talk) 12:23, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. While this edit from ~2026-47628-63 (talk · contribs) looks quite unambiguous, it seems like Kevinjoel503k removed the part-time Burger King phrase in this edit. Are you sure that 503k is disruptive? 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 12:31, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Ah dammit you're right, sorry. Was hoping for a user account that could be checkuser'd with admin tools. I've seen in the past that admins shy away from checkuser for temp accounts, sometimes. ~2026-47022-54 (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

This is because temp accounts' IP information can be viewed with the WP:Temporary account IP viewer permission, so a CheckUser is overkill.

But in any case, I have requested pending changes protection for the article. Hopefully that'll provide a buffer for the disruption... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 12:37, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

A fine idea, thanks. ~2026-47022-54 (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

I've checked the disrupting TAs' IP info and they appear to have a wide range of proxy servers (VPN nodes), so an IP rangeblock seems unnecessary. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 12:47, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I recently made some changes to a page and you asked for more source information. I've added it to the talk channel on the article.

Talk:No. 202 Squadron RAF#c-~2026-47713-45-20260901130100-Source for new Commanding Officer

Hopefully this is sufficient information to allow the amendment? Thanks

~2026-47713-45 (talk) 13:12, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Just so you are aware, your comment on 16 August in ANI, turned out to be true. That user did end up being a sock of DHIRAJDHONA, a sock farm that is technically the same as Raunka sonkar, which is parallel to WP:LTA/ALAS. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:47, 20 September 2026 (UTC)

Yeah but I think it's just luck. I'd rather be stringent on myself than to fall into Dunning–Kruger effect... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:02, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

The fun part that most people forget is that Dunning-Kruger actually describes a spectrum, not just the lowest common denominator. I like to jokingly refer to the other end as "Kruger-Dunning" - the higher your competence in a given area is, the more realistic your appraisal of that competence is, because you're more aware of what you don't know. There can also be overlap with imposter syndrome when you're hyper aware of that gap in your knowledge - and surrounded by the bottom end of the spectrum with their associated overconfidence.
/Tangent

In any case, it's not as if we can block unilaterally, so if there's reasonable suspicion I think it's best to let the CU-mins check it out and exercise their more experienced judgement. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:14, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Yeah I know. I just think actual CUs are much more Kruger-Dunning than me, by the sheer amount of cases they've dealt with (and feedback on their previous cases, be it twist-and-turns, updates, overturns, whatever); so I have a very high trust in their judgements.

- And a very high trust that they'll see what I've seen. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:17, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

In machine learning jargons their models are trained with much more data than me and over a longer time period. Something even Sam Altman agrees as the go-to method of making better models, when more expedient ones aren't available. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:19, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

In that case yes, but most socks don't serve themselves up on a silver platter. Would that they did - it would make our lives much easier! ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:23, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

I can only imagine that they're hoping us to think "hey you're an anti-sock fellow, you're with us!" And ignore their contribs / not getting suspicious on them.

Or that they're bored. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:40, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

I still want to know what's really going on there, because their historical behavior is not consistent with Al Akmar himself. Sure wish I could see the tech data. There's clearly fuckery afoot, but not his typical generic socking. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 10:57, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Somewhat related, perhaps. We'll go and see - more data as time moves on... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:01, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, there are two separate branches. User:Raunka sonkar was a new group that we lump under the same SPI. They edit the same areas but behave in different ways. There is also a separate group that overlaps with Al Akmar on Maldivian politics and behaves in the same way (in my opinion) but doesn't edit from mobile. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:11, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Where there were money to be made... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 15:19, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Is that the Hirematviru group? There was a whole nother mess of accounts in another ANI thread that I think was also separate, but I don't recall how I ran across it. And given the infighting it's clear that some of the individuals aren't directly involved with each other, despite the topic overlap - hence my theory on chasing bounties. Or maybe they rep different clients on opposing sides. Who knows. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 15:32, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

I thought I was signing up to write an encyclopedia, and not serving as editing emotional consultant and part-timing as a private detective. But damn it I'll do it anyways. It's fun. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 15:39, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Hello IrisChronomia. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of T. S. Suryanarayanan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: top 2% of researchers in mycology is a credible claim of importance. Use WP:AFD if oyu feel this should be deleted. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:42, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

I mean... That article is so terribly written I almost think we should just erase it and start over again... 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:44, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

WP:TNT is not a speedy deletion criterion. -- Whpq (talk) 11:45, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Yeah. I looked it up and I think I'd go for AfD.

The top 2% claim is really questionable as it is a number given by a single paper. Most other websites rank him as top 20% or less. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:48, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

That may very well be the case, but that's why AFD needs to be the route so that the claims can be properly discussed. -- Whpq (talk) 12:54, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

I looked and decided that I'll just take over and TNT it. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 13:17, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Just wanted to say I'm sorry that discussion happened on your talk page. For the record, the first comment I left on your talk page was intended as nothing more than a good faith attempt to make you aware of a very minor issue you had been involved in. NOT worth the pissing contest that ensued. You are doing great work, keep it up! Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 03:47, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I see you thanked me for objecting to the surprise move of Alarm signal. I have placed an objection on Talk:Alarm signal (animal communication) and on the talk page of the editor (User talk:Jeffrey34555) who summarily closed the move. Needless to say, I think the whole process was misguided, and the reasons given for the move were spurious; the new dab page is not surprisingly wrongly constructed too. We will probably need to conduct a formal move review, worse luck. It had better be more widely consulted and better reasoned than the sorry affair so far. Any help will be warmly welcomed.

I've never dealt with rename-links-after-move before, so I'm not sure - but is it possible that we just batch rename all links to alarm signal to the new name?

Thanks for bringing this up; I'm checking the move request. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 08:17, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

We can save all the (pointless) renaming by getting the incorrect move undone; there is nothing to disambiguate so we don't need a dab page. I've said all that and more on Jeffrey34555's page. It might be helpful if you note there that you agree. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:21, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Yeah I see - but I do personally found the previous title to be ambiguous, as my first reaction to the name is "that a computer science-related article?". 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 08:25, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

The question I would ask would be "would some other article plausibly take the same name in the future?", and I think it *might*. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 08:26, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

It's hard to make predictions especially about the future. "It might" is always true; but we have *no* current instances, which is all we can go on now, this moment. The rules for dab pages say there must be existing ambiguity to allow a disambiguation page to be created. If we need a hatnote (I don't think so) then we only need place one at "Wake-up call" but since that title doesn't contain "Alarm signal" it's just not necessary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:41, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Yeah. I have no opinions for either of the options, I think. Both seems just fine for me. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 08:44, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

Hey, just so you know, if there's ever spam on a user talk page, it should just be removed and a warning placed there instead; deleting the user talk page is counter productive as it's needed for communication with the user (and it would be immediately recreated after deletion as a result).

Got it - thanks and cheers, fellow colleague. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:50, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

No problem. I see you around often tagging promotional user pages; thanks for your work! :) TheNerdzilla (talk) 11:52, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

You too :) 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:53, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, please be more careful with your AIV reports. Except in the most egregious cases, the behaviour should be obviously intended to cause problems and repeated after a request to stop. A bot reports certain filter hits to WP:AIV/TB2, so if the edits don't get through the filter, please leave them to the bot—there's some fairly complicated logic to which filter hits it reports. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:46, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I understand (and apologize for having to be reminded of the "bot will do the AIV report" part the second time). Thank you, Mitchell. I'll remember this. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 10:50, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

I'm still pondering how that relates to Hinduism. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:08, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

General-purpose projection phrase serving the same purpose of "area51 illuminati zionist lizard people" I'd say. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:10, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I'm sure. I meant that rhetorically. It (theoretically) aligns Hinduism with fascism on the political spectrum, which is...curious. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:18, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

People really don't think before they type. ChompyTheGogoat [ Bleat | Munched ] 11:47, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Judging from a lack of follow up, it seems like neither did they after typing. 海盐沙冰 _{/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads} 11:49, 26 September 2026 (UTC)
