Now, about WP:AIV. Feel free to put test4 on someone's page, but test5 should be for admins. Also, make sure you do the template right, and get the article name right. So it's {{vandal|IPaddress}} and the article was Christopher murt not Christopher Mutt (or at least the one I found). Wikibofh 22:12, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, and sorry :-p--TonySt 22:13, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

bot seems to be editing wikipedia page?

TonySt I notice you intervened in a researchers wikipedia page at 20:56 on Nov 21 stating that the researcher "had a point" in removing an inappropriate post from her wikipedia article. The wikipedia article on me has exactly the same inappropriate sentences (which contain factual errors and also is not relevant to the subject's career), presumably from the same source. Someone (not me) recently edited and removed the text, but it was put back within minutes. It was then removed and put back multiple times. Is an AI bot perhaps at work here? Can I get your assistance in getting this inappropriate post removed once and for all, as you did for this other person? I can provide more details if needed. I am new to wikipedia so not sure how this works. ~2026-39909-0 (talk) 01:17, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Which article are you referring to? tony 05:18, 19 January 2026 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_W._LaBelle

situation appears very similar to this page where you appear to have intervened saying that the editor "had a point"

Thanks for any help you can provide with this! ~2026-46166-7 (talk) 23:04, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

I encourage you to register for a user account, disclose your COI, and then open a discussion on the article talk page. tony 00:08, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Dear TonySt, per your advice I have registered for an account. As a professor, I have some expertise in certain specialized areas and look forward to maybe contributing sometime. I am happy to declare COI, I am the subject of the wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_W._LaBelle

which has suffered from disruptive editing (my opinion), although I have not done any of the edits or removals. I'm not sure I see how to "talk" with what appears to be multiple bots attacking the site.

I am a neophyte and finding it pretty opaque how wikipedia works. Can I ask you a question? When I look at the site

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_V._Jakubzick

it appears as though a member attempts occur to remove what I would call an inappropriate contribution, each time being reversed. Then it appears as though an editor, possibly yourself, steps in and effectively puts an end to the multiple edits and re-edits, stating "she has a point" and labeling the contribution as potentially disruptive. Am I interpreting this sequence of events correctly? (The reason I ask is, it's exactly parallel to what's happening at the other website.)

Thanks for enlightening me on this, and for any help you can provide with regard to disruptive edits on wikipedia sites!

Hi @XxCROSSxX! We have special tools that can help us quickly see and undo bad edits, but often we just look at the "recent changes" feed and revert changes that should be reverted. You can find more information over at this link: WP:RCP. Take care 🙂 --tony 02:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Editing

Did you remove the pop culture associated with the autistic community on special interest because you saw it as sheer nonsense, or did it offend you whether or not you have autism, I have it too, not using it as an excuse, just wondering.

Thank you

Thank you for creating Interceptor, I love using it. It has made life so much easier for me. Thank you so much. Happy editing! Dafootballguy (talk) 23:33, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

@Dafootballguy I'm happy to hear that! Thank you for the kind words! 🙂 tony 21:39, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Do you want me to remove the personal attacks on this page? Also can you add a button on interceptor for personal attacks on user pages? Thank you. Dafootballguy (talk) 20:22, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

No thank you 🙂 They're stale now and it's ok for them to be here since it's they've been here for a while. I like the idea of adding WP:NPA warnings to the dashboard -- I'll tinker with making it so those warnings are available when you're looking at an edit to a page in the user, user talk, or talk namespaces. tony 20:44, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I've also seen a lot of intentional misspellings, perhaps a warning for that would help. Thank you so much for expediting my counter-vandalism. Happy editing! Dafootballguy (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Also, is there a way to make the buttons a little bigger, the updated version makes me very worried about a misclick. Dafootballguy (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

That's also something I'm looking at -- is it the dashboard buttons or the toolbar buttons that you're most worried about? It's hard to fit them all on small screes. tony 21:46, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Dashboard was the issue, the old version had much better sizing. Can you do the next update with the old size please? Thank you. Dafootballguy (talk) 23:27, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do 🙂 --tony 01:19, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Also a button for subtle vandalism is needed. Why do some of the buttons use rollback and not others? Thank you. Dafootballguy (talk) 20:47, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Do you want me to request protection for your talk page? I'd be happy to do that if you want. Happy editing. Dafootballguy (talk) 21:32, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

No thank you, I appreciate the offer though! tony 21:45, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

What about my comment right above, have you seen it yet? Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 23:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I might need to clean up how those buttons are presented before I add any more, but the subtle vandalism series is right near the top of things I'd like to add to the dashboard soon. And I'm not sure what you mean by the rollback question -- they all rollback and warn except the ones for single-issue templates that give you the option to "warn & roll" or "warn only" for each. --tony 23:45, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Some use the actual rollback tool and some don't. Some vandalism is subtle and doesn't deserve rollback, but the vandalism button in the dashboard is the closest option to whst it is. Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 23:50, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

All reverts done with Interceptor use the rollback function. Rollback has a stigma for a lot of reasons, but a big one is that the standard MediaWiki "rollback" link on the recent changes feed doesn't ask for an edit summary. But since diff viewers like Interceptor use descriptive edit summaries for non-vandalism and leave specific warnings on talk pages, they generally just use the rollback API query for all reverts. tony 00:13, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Can you add a thank button to the dashboard at the bottom, it would help? Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 18:49, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

A "thank" button might be arriving at some point in the future. tony 19:02, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Can you help me customize the color of my signature, I can't figure out the coding part for my life. Thanks! Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 23:23, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Also can you set up a color blind mode for editors like me on interceptor. Thank you! Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 23:26, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm a little swamped and so I might not be able to help with your signature, but I'll add a colorblind-friendly option to CVPI as soon as I get the chance to work on it again. tony 00:02, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

@Toadspike was able to help so it is OK, thanks for the inteceptor help. I absolutely love interceptor. Thank you. Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 00:08, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

CVPI 0.9.13

What's up Tony! Yeah, hope your Sunday's going swell. The new update... well, it looks great and all. Sadly I've found it hard to adapt to the new look. I was hoping to ask if it's possible to downgrade versions (affecting only one user). Personally I found 0.8.6.1 totally legit!

And then bad news just a few hours back, with 0.9.13 (dang it, wish I had screenshots)

On going to the next edit, this edit. In CVPI, this displayed an edit summary writing "Expand."

I deliberately reverted it due to unexplained removal.

And since I'm still unsure of the new version's performance, I checked the real page history outside the tool and got stunned to see an edit summary stating "Already on other page."

I was like what the @#$% ??, and speedily self reverted.

That's why I ask if it's possible to use older builds. I've also seen some users stick to previous versions of huggle. Wonder if the same can happen with CVPI, specifically as an option for a user? Would be a disappointing loss to no longer patrol in split window mode, as the buttons now appear smaller, resulting in less mouse accuracy and since I'm using a high-res screen. For my best preferences, I don't use hot-keys.‎ — B.J (talk) 22:02, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Hey @B.J! Next time I'm at a computer (I'm on my phone now) I'll get the older version and save that so you can use it, and I'll ping you when that happens.

The edit summary the tool shows is the summary for the most recent edit, even if there are multiple edits from that user being shown to you. Their other edit summaries are in the "page history" pane on the left. The recent updates to CVPI haven't changed the logic for edit summaries -- that behavior has always existed. I've been tinkering with the idea of combining edit summaries so it shows you all of them together at the top but I'm still trying to figure out how to do it without taking up a lot of space on small screens. Hopefully that will be added as an update in the near future 🙂 tony 22:59, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Aha! It's super legit to hear that an older version can be accessed. It was kinda weird to see the latest edit summary shown on top of an older diff which I reverted. However, glad to hear all this coming from the inventor himself.‎ — B.J (talk) 23:20, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

Hey @B.J! 0.8.6.1 is available for you here, or you can replace the existing CVPI entry in your commons.js with {{subst:iusc|User:TonySt/CVPI_0.8.6.1.js}}

All userscripts are obviously use-at-your-own-risk, but this one (0.8.6.1) is especially use-at-your-own-risk because it's unsupported and might have bugs.

You mentioned the button sizes are the main complication with the current (0.9.13) version -- is it only the toolbar buttons that are too small, or is there anything else that is too small now? I'm only asking because I plan on tweaking the design in the future to better support people who want larger buttons, and I want to make sure I do that effectively 🙂 --tony 12:41, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Alysa Lui

I believe I was fully correct in informing the public of Alysa’s title. My reasoning behind this is Japan is a cool place and Alysa is a cool person therefore making her the perfect candidate for Japans princess. Japan doesn’t have an officially coronated princess and I believe the majority of the public would agree that is change is for the best. Thank you in your support for rewriting our history! ~2026-19553-79 (talk) 22:12, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

If Japan does not have a princess, you cannot simply "make her the new one". Also, if Japan eventually had a princess it would still have to be supported by a reliable source. This is a hard decision (talk) 23:39, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Your Edits to the Meredith Perry Wikipedia Page Do Not Comply With Wiki's Policies

@TonySt: I have a disclosed conflict of interest regarding this article. Let me address your characterization directly. You reverted edits as "promotional," but the core issue you're defending is an opening line that states the subject "claimed to develop" a technology for which she is the named inventor on 25 granted U.S. patents (Google Patents, JCVI board biography). The USPTO does not grant patents for technology that was merely "claimed." This phrasing is not neutral — it is WP:PEJORATIVE, and defending it is not protecting the encyclopedia, it is maintaining a POV violation. The article also omits a peer-reviewed randomized controlled trial published in Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio, June 2024, DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-63385-1, PMID: 38844793), with third-party coverage from MIT News. Excluding published, peer-reviewed research from a WP:MEDRS-compliant source while preserving editorialized language like "claimed to develop" suggests this article is being maintained to a conclusion rather than written neutrally. I would ask that you engage with the sources and policy rather than blanket-reverting. Berlinwhalel1989 (talk) 02:37, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Please do not use AI tools to communicate, as they're likely to make stuff up (like "WP:PEJORATIVE", which does not exist). My main concern was your addition of a link to the main page of your(?) website within a reference tag immediately after making a likely-to-be-disputed claim. I've removed that fake reference now. I'll also leave some information on your talk page regarding conflicts of interest, which has great information on how to make edit requests to articles where you might not be able to remain neutral. Take care --tony 02:57, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Reporting LTA

Hey, I opened my Recent Changes and saw a swarm of the LTA you (and others) have been dealing with. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do when coming across it in the future? Policy says don't engage, revert, and move on, but where do I report it? SPI? Just ping an admin? A specific LTA report board? Realtent (talk) 02:12, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

@Realtent (talk page stalker) There is! For most LTAs, you should send it straight to AIV; but then you can additionally use m:SRG to request m:global locks and m:global blocks. I would suggest using m:User:Xiplus/TwinkleGlobal! – LuniZunie_(talk) 02:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

For the most part, there are people (like me) who will specifically target these individuals as they can be a handful. So, if you don't want to deal with that, you can always stay local and someone will likely sweep through and handle the global stuff at a later point. – LuniZunie_(talk) 02:16, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Hope you sort it out soon, definitely looks like a handful from the wave of red I saw on my end. Thank you for the pointers, good luck and good hunting! Realtent (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Ralph Fiennes

An IP made a good point: why did you say an edit at the above was unsourced when it wasn’t? Seasider53 (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Seasider53! Thanks for reaching out. When they made the edit, I clicked the link to verify the dailytelegraph.com.au source. It redirected to another (seemingly unrelated) .com.au domain, which then failed to resolve. I tried a few times and it kept failing to resolve after redirecting. Because I couldn't verify that information, and because that type of reference weirdness is consistent with the behavior of LLM-hallucinated references, and as it was introducing not-uncontroversial information, I considered it not adequately supported and reverted.

I can see now when I click the link that it works fine. I'm not sure what was up when I was trying to verify it before, but it looks like their DNS records continue to be inconsistent. I went to add an archive.org link just now and the archive redirects to tags.news.com.au, which then redirects back to www.dailytelegraph.com.au, which then redirects to www.dailytelegraph.com.au again (click here to go on the adventure). Fortunately that last redirect actually goes to the content, and I've updated the reference in the article to include that archive link for future readers.

If you see me make any other questionable reverts in the future, please reach out again. tony 16:19, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

Reverting my edit

Hello, you reverted my edit on the article Joseph Medill Patterson, saying that it was unsourced. I was, in fact, reverting a previous edit that I said was unsourced. So um, one of us is in the wrong? Cherrytxrt 📧 22:05, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello! This is the edit I reverted; it looks like it removed a decent chunk of sourced information, and added unsourced information about what The youngest, Alicia, explained. tony 22:10, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Oh damn... I didn't realise that's what I did. Yeah that's my bad. Cherrytxrt 📧 22:14, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Please help!

I installed another script for image filtration and interceptor doesn't seem to want to work. Help. Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 22:40, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Looks like you have two copies of CVPI in your common.js, which will break it. You should probably remove the one with the version number (it's old and unsupported). tony 23:36, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

I removed it, can I add the filter back or will that break it again? Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 23:42, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes. Remove this line from your common.js:

lang="javascript">

and add this line to the bottom of your common.js (copy+paste it):

@import url('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=raw&title=User:Anomie/hide-images.css&ctype=text/css'); tony 04:01, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Did it work? How can I find out? Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 20:22, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

Here's a link to your common.js -- you should be able to make that change there, but let me know if you run into any issues. tony 14:30, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

How do I see if it is working without looking for (hopefully) censored content? Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 01:52, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

May 2026 Administrator Election – Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

• April 29 – May 5: Call for candidates
• May 8–12: Discussion phase
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

• The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
• Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for admin elections candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
• The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
• The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
• Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Can you set a way to permanently save settings for CVPI (mainly colorblind mode). Thanks for colorblind mode, it has been such a help for me. I probably won't see your response until late tomorrow. Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 00:52, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

I'm glad it's helpful 🙂 It should already save that option per-device. tony 02:18, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

That doesn't work if you use incognito tab. Could you make a settings that works on incognito like Twinkle? Thank you. Dafootballguy | Want to talk? 21:48, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

I don't think I'll be using a settings file like Twinkle does; you will need to toggle the colorblind mode on when you start the tool if you're using Incognito. tony 23:07, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Discussion Phase

The discussion phase of the May 2026 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• May 8–12: Discussion phase (we are here)
• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase
• Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Discussion phase.

On 13 May, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for.

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

May 2026 Administrator Elections – Voting Phase

The voting phase of the May 2026 administrator elections has started and will continue until 19 May 2026 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• May 13–19: SecurePoll voting phase (we are here)
• Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a non-recall candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Recall candidates must achieve 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.
