User talk:MakaylaHippo1998

Thanks for finding and fixing the date error at Herbert Maitland! Similar errors at Arthur Colvin and Horton Williams that were introduced (obviously accidentally) by the same user in 2008 were corrected in 2013 and 2014, respectively; and those seem to be all such cases, as far as I can tell (at least from this user). As you said, it is surprising that the error in Maitland's article could survive for this long.

One thing: When you fix old date errors in infoboxes, like here, chances are that these have spread elsewhere. It is helpful to check the corresponding wikidata entry. I've fixed wikidata:Q5735016. Also, somewhat amusingly, the only other language that has an article about Maitland, the Arabic Wikipedia (ar:هربرت_ميتلاند), had the dates in their infobox correct, but gave wrong dates in the article body. I've fixed that error, too. Renerpho (talk) 06:03, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

@MakaylaHippo1998: I notice you added a lot of Template:Hoax tags to articles. Please don't do this unless there is strong evidence that you're dealing with a bad faith creation, and without doing a careful WP:BEFORE check. Absence of evidence isn't enough, and honest mistakes aren't either. See the example of 1999 Libyan Super Cup, which you tagged because you "highly doubt that the stadium was called 23 October Stadium". Why did you doubt that? The article about the stadium on the Arabic Wikipedia ar:ملعب_الخمس says that that's its former name. Finding good sources for that name on the internet may be difficult, due to the language and time barrier, but mentions on pages like (published in 2010) are at least an indication that the name is real. Renerpho (talk) 10:10, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Ok I see. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 13:53, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

You are right about insufficent references. I have added a complete? list. Making these inline will be progressed when I can get to a library but not for 15 weeks as I will be offline for a while. Please do not delete.Mathews was an important enomologist. Best regards Notafly (talk) 13:43, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, you added a more citations needed banner to the article of Justin Spring (author). The entire article was cited. Every sentence or group of sentences had a citation. The only uncited sentence stated that Samuel Steward lived as an openly gay man from 1909 to 1993, and this was general knowledge.

If an article is well cited, please do not add this banner. Golan1911 (talk) 17:43, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

You added a BLP PROD tag to Nicole Ménard. However, according to Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people to be eligible for a PROD the article must "contain no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc., reliable or otherwise) supporting any statements made about the person in the biography." There was an external link to Nicole Ménard at the National Assembly of Quebec website. The external link contained several statements that backed up what was said in the article. It should have not been sent to PROD. CambridgeBayWeather (#1 deranged), Uqaqatigijaa (talk), Huliva 18:02, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

I just declined your requests for speedy deletion at European Pain Federation. Is a common mistake people make with G5. It's not enough for the creator to be banned or blocked, they must have been banned it blocked at the time of article creation. So usually, it's about articles created by sockpuppets from already blocked masters. The article had some promotional elements, but not enough to warrant a G11. I suggest you do a WP:Before and bring it to WP:AfD if necessary.

P.S. could you please set up archiving on your talk page? That makes communication easier. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:40, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Ok can do so! MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 08:06, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! It should be fairly straightforward to do: just copy {{subst:Setup auto archiving}} to the top of your user talk page and it should be set up automatically (see Help:archiving). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:25, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

37 deletion warnings is unacceptable. Formal nature reserves can usually be expanded. Try looking for sources first. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:44, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Sorry about these warnings, spamming was never my intention, I'll look for sources for these reserves now. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 06:46, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

You are adding a lot of PRODs. Perhaps consider trying to create content instead of deleting it. Thanks, MediaKyle (talk) 09:24, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, it's me, The username filter bot is way too sensitive. I noticed that you recently reported me here on AIV because "actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account". Did you misclick (or something) or am I really screwing up without realizing? Just wanting to check because I would be really upset if I were blocked by mistake. The username filter bot is way too sensitive (talk) 00:43, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, I reviewed my contributions and I am pretty sure I have not done anything unconstructive on Wikipedia (aside from accidentally reverting a revert of vandalism once). Please help me understand. Thanks, The username filter bot is way too sensitive (talk) 00:47, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

I was a little confused for a second, sorry because to be fair, your username may not have been the best choice, a good number of well-established editors would have probably reported you to WP:UAA as it gives the impression that you clearly have (or tried to) create one or more Wikipedia accounts which violate the username policy, you are kind of lucky nobody did. I appreciate your contributions greatly however, but you should probably consider changing your username. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 00:48, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

As this is the second thing regarding my username (see my talk page), I'll definitely change it. (P.S. I chose this username because when I was registering on Wikipedia, the bot kept giving me "Username blacklisted", "username entered already in use", and "username too similar to already existing username" messages. This username ended up actually working, so I used it.) The username filter bot is way too sensitive (talk) 00:51, 8 May 2026 (UTC) (soon to be something else)

Ok sounds great! MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 00:54, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Would you mind if I smerge this to Nantucket? Bearian (talk) 02:04, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good by me. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 03:27, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, if the user you are reverting has an offensive, libel, or otherwise poor username, please do not use the normal rollback button since that leaves their username in the edit summary and requires additional cleanup. I have a script at User:LuniZunie/scripts/LTA-rollback.js that will rollback with a single click and remove the username if you want a quick easy button, but please make sure your edit summaries don't contain offensive names. Cheers. – LuniZunie_(talk) 22:58, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Ok thank you, I'll totally download that. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 23:04, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

While I was also unable to prove the San Diego Chargers claim, I found out that they were found during an audition for Star Search and not the show proper. Also, I added a great deal of WP:SIGCOV including coverage in Gavin Report and an album review from the Sun Sentinel. They seem to pass WP:NBAND now.

hello! can I ask why a "needs more source" tag was added to the article? it has seven different references from RS and the article is completely referenced. if there are sources you know if that don't feature, please do add them Lajmmoore (talk) 02:28, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

As we have discussed previously, please be very cautious about reporting accounts that have not edited to WP:UAA. A username needs to be flagrant, egregious and highly offensive for a block without editing. This username is nowhere near that standard. Cullen328 (talk) 05:50, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought anything with straight-up curse words was considered highly offensive and a no-warning block. These past few days I have been very careful about all reports to UAA, and these usernames seemed to cross the line of a no-warning block. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:56, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Neither "shit" nor the minced variant "sh*t" are straight-up curse words in 2026 English, and neither is highly offensive in casual conversation. The word is quite commonly used these days in everyday conversation, by comedians and in movies and on TV. It may be on the crude and vulgar side, and personally I think it is a poor choice for a username. But the standard you should be following is Usernames that are blatantly profane, violent, threatening, or sexually explicit. Also keep in mind that an account that does not edit is by definition not disruptive, and most new accounts never edit. Whenever you file a report at UAA, you are placing a claim on an administrator's valuable time. Please try to limit your reports to usernames that are indisputably disruptive. Cullen328 (talk) 06:42, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

For reference, is this username considered an acceptable report without warning, it is egregiously bad as I explained in the report, can you confirm if this was indeed a good no-warning report or not? MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 07:56, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

It may not be a straight up profanity, but "learning shit" is in itself a personal attack in this context (it parses as "isn't learning anything", and not in a particularly kind manner). Not to mention Yamla is on quite a few LTA sockmasters' shitlists. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^MUSHROOM 05:17, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi MakaylaHippo1998

I recently updated the active motorcycle manufacturers in production page, adding Savic Motorcycles to the Australian list.

How do I add a citation eg our website https://www.savicmotorcycles.com/pages/order-process? And how do I be transparent re COI as I am the digital marketing manager for the company

Hi MakaylaHippo1998,

My edits to Luke Jacobz were flagged as not constructive. I believe an upcoming film in an actors filmography is relevant. I can provide citations if needed to show that this is correct information.

I declined your PROD on Chapter 8 (band). The article Chapter 8 (Chapter 8 album) claims their album made two Billboard charts and had three charting singles, so they are likely notable even if I didn't find much in the way of sourcing otherwise. Ten Pound Hammer (they/them) • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 12:37, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Maybe you accidentally deleted the sentence I added seven days ago, which states that Mornar won the Montenegrin Football Cup, which is the greatest achievement in the club’s history. Could you restore that text? I also added a source, and there are more available as well. If necessary, I can send them to you. SerdarBar (talk) 23:35, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I had added sources to the Synnefo page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Synnefo&diff=prev&oldid=1358299065) and based on them (see page 7 of the USENIX source) added text. You reverted them due to lacking citations, but the list of authentication methods of Astakos is mentioned verbatim in the PDF. Interestingly, these sources, and the text I added, were originally added in 2014 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Synnefo&diff=prev&oldid=602732974) but user Special:Contributions/182.50.68.8 removed them in 2017 (see their "Contributions" page of which the 3 are vandalisms on the Synnefo page, including changing a year to 1991) without explanation and even left a sentence hanging since there is a colon without anything after it. Anyway the problem now is that while I added both the source back (and one more from IEEE), you reverted all my changes for "unsourced content" when in fact the first edit inserts reliable references from well-known peer reviewed journals: USENIX :login; and IEEE.

I think you reverted by mistake both my additions (which again are mentioned in the USENIX source on page 7) and the citations. I replied in my talk page as well, sorry if I should have had replied only once, and also because I edited this message to clarify the timeline. Thanks. Ikozyris (talk) 21:33, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

I deprodded this because he had bylined obituaries in two papers of record, in big cities. In other words, professional journalists in major newspapers decided that their readers should know about the life of this person. They got paid by the newspapers, not the family, funeral home, or fans. A newspaper of record would not publish an obituary about someone unless they were notable; in fact, they are often written years in advance. Bearian (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

I don't think the edit you reverted on We Owned the Night was actually disruptive. I made the same error and initially reverted it, but the edit appears to be a valid removal of unnecessary redirects. vanfinda (talk) 22:09, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

I see that you have repeatedly reverted their acts of Vandalism, which is a good thing. However, there is no reason to repeatedly undo their undos, if you will. Doing this repeatedly will only clog the edit history of the page. Also, if an Admin needs to determine if REVDEL is needed, or if an Oversighter needs to determine if Oversight is needed, the clogging becomes a bigger problem. After one or two, request an Admin to revoke. You already did this. However, to the best of my knowledge, any Admin may do it, not just the Blocking one. Find an Admin, and let them know about the need to TPA revocation. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 05:42, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

To be clear, if it is different Users (at least ones pretending to be different) There's probably no problem. Just attempt to avoid it when it is the same User. Thanks Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 06:02, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

@MakaylaHippo1998 Just a reminder, please don't do this on any page for the above reasons. Looking at Hasnaa Lachgar the entire page history is clogged up unnecessarily. – LuniZunie_(talk) 01:34, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your work with antivandalism :) I wanted to mention that it's usually unhelpful to repeatedly revert vandal edits on their own talk pages. Typically the best action is to just report them to AIV, and then ignore anything after they're blocked -- otherwise it just gives them an excuse to keep re-adding the material. Again, genuinely, thank you for your work with antivandalism :) tony 05:55, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

wikipedia has a documented activism issue with israel pages. the infection is achieved through activists abusing their positions in the wikipedia system and these activists use talk of "neutrality" and references to other formalities to expunge anything that discredits their activism

of course i would not engage seriously with a corrupt website like wikipedia. that's like asking someone to write a formal complaint to the russian judiciary about putin, or the NK police about kim. the system doesn't care about the complaint, has unaccountable power vis a vis the complaint, and is committed regardless of merit to rejecting it

which admittedly makes my add topic futile, as the activists will not remove their pollution. still, it is repulsive to see the anti-israel activism infect animal rights pages, as animal rights is not something that deserves to be polluted with their filth. ~2026-39424-91 (talk) 03:00, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I’m a new user. You undid my edit for the town I live in where I’m an elected official and you said I need to provide a reliable source. But you reverted it to a version that didn’t provide a reliable source and you did not footnote where you’re getting that information Mehitchcock42 (talk) 02:33, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

I don't believe, generally, when reporting offensive usernames, that you need to say exactly what the meaning of the username is. Unless explicitly asked by an Admin, explaining it is just not needed. It is enough to say that it is an offensive username. BTW, I don't believe there is a rule against what you did. But just wondering why it needs to be explicit? You risk amplifying the message they were attempting to send. Enćenćecasïdća (talk) 20:10, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi-- I'm not experienced at wikipedia editing, so apologies if this is a style rather than a content thing. My concern with the Billboard Chris article (hence my editing) is that labelling him as "conservative" is incorrect, as he has never described himself as such (my edit in which I stated this was the reason for editing was reversed), and the whole article comes across as very biased to the point of being inaccurate. It states that he 'claims' to have been assaulted, when this is on camera. He has been assaulted. I'm also concerned about the term "gender affirming surgery" (which implies political bias) rather than the neutral and more clinical term "sex reassignment". I have much wider concerns about wikipedia articles on this topic, but for the sake of this particular article I'll leave it there. Asking your expert advice, please. Ankyrio (talk) 19:27, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

Your attempt to play clueless is unconvincing. I assume that you are the same person as the recent string of temporary accounts which have all attempted to remove more or less the same information from that article. If so, you know that what you are doing is making the article worse. You can have my non-expert advice, which is to pack it in. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:27, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
