When addressing me on my talk page, I will reply to you on my talk page. If I come over to yours, I will add it to my watchlist. If you wish me to expedite a response, remember to {{u|L3X1}} (but without the nowiki part) at the beginning of your comment. Recently I enabled email, though I would prefer that discussions were carried out on wiki unless beans, regarding socks or other sensitive material. If you email me, I would also appreciate if you notified me on my TP as I may not be prompt about checking it.Please place new comments/sections at the bottom of this page. Thanks Lexi 23:50, 30 December 2016. (UTC)

Hi L3X1, I wanted to ask why on CopyPatrol that you're always marking as No action needed. I don't see any issues with your reviews, but I'm interested in why you never take on any of the reports with copyvio? — Tenshi! (Talk page) 12:50, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

hi I specifically sort through to try and find items in the queue that are the least likely to have true copyvios. I know the queue can be very long at times and removing the ~5% false positives helps those with more time to concentrates on the diffs that are actually likely to be a violation. It would be nice if the team maintitnanig copy patrol could figure out a way to identify the high probability false positives (which are usually a case of some mirror of wikipedia or a copy/pasting from a similar article written by the same author) but I don't know how technically feasible that is. ^Thanks,L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 15:48, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
