Hello, Ingenuity. I've got your User:Ingenuity/AbuseFilterContribs.js, I love it. Super helpful. But today I was checking out an IPv6 range, 2603:8081:5b00:65c::/64, which I ended up blocking for a month (nasty BLP vandalism, no constructive edits, from four IPs). 3 out of the four had made edits disallowed by the edit filter. But... it would be great if the /64 range contribs page also showed those filter interventions, so I didn't have to check the IPs individually. Another time it may obviously be a lot more than four IPs. Would that be possible? Bishonen | tålk 19:52, 19 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen: I'm afraid not... as far as I'm aware, the API doesn't support getting filter hits for ranges, unfortunately. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 19:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. OK. I guess it was a long shot. Thanks anyway. Bishonen | tålk 19:57, 20 March 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Good afternoon. A user that you unbanned last year has exhibited some worrying behavior. Please see Talk:Fishing cat and attached GANs, as well as User talk:Grungaloo. This kind of thing is not my forte, and I would appreciate another set of eyes from someone who is familiar with the situation. Please let me know your thoughts and your advice on the proper course of action. Fritzmann (message me) 17:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on their talk page. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 18:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Look I have no idea how to deal with this. Gaslighting me on my talk page now, "Your actions have shown me that you hate me" & "I'll quit GA to make you happy". That's just... not okay lol.

I have looked at the user's other GANs and personally think that most of them (especially Megafauna, which has large uncited sections) would not pass a review at this stage. However, I don't want to be the one who goes and fails them because this user clearly has animosity towards me. I would appreciate assistance from an administrator who is better versed in dispute resolution to address this. Fritzmann (message me) 22:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I saw a comment made by AkiraAnastasia12345 on their talk page that I thought I should bring to your attention. Their, they said: What if someone doxx your profile. You can't even use your name User:Ingenuity. I want to bring this to your attention because it seems like it might be a threat to dox you, but I'm not completely sure that that is the case, as it is worded oddly. GrayStorm^{(Talk|Contributions)} 23:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I read that more as a "how would you feel if someone doxxed you", it doesn't really look like a threat to me. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 01:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thats good. GrayStorm^{(Talk|Contributions)} 01:14, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does my single-GAN limit require me to withdraw multiple current nominations?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyTheTiger: yes, I think that would be best. However, you can keep nominations open if they're currently under review. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your fair close. Looks like my support at RFA was justified. Lightburst (talk) 19:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ingenuity, Hello, can you delete Hamza Shaikh page then after I'll able to accepted Draft:Hamza Shaikh from WP:AFC process.  Thanks ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 11:35, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aviram7: done. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 14:06, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ingenuity, Thank you for you're immediate response to me and for fast action for about my request  Thanks ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your offer on AN, and am happy to take part in this panel. How do you propose we do this? Owen× ☎ 19:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OwenX: once the AfD hits the seven-day mark (in a couple hours), I'll read through it and email you my preliminary thoughts. We can discuss the close from there. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! Owen× ☎ 20:10, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OwenX Um, you should not be taking part in this close Owen, since you've already decided that the article should be kept.? Black Kite (talk) 22:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think my participation in that DRV renders me WP:INVOLVED, and do not have strong views about the article either way. But since you raised the issue, let's take it to AN and see what others think. Owen× ☎ 22:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OwenX Of course it renders you involved. But I don't think it needs to go to AN, I simply think you should leave the close to Ingenuity, because if you take part and the close is anything other than Delete, Merge or Redirect then there will be a controversy that we really don't need. Black Kite (talk) 22:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a valid point. I already posted the question on AN, but will step aside for now. Owen× ☎ 23:00, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks (I had already posted at AN). To be clear, I'm not accusing you of being biased, only that there clearly would be an issue if anyone decided to take it to DRV (it would almost certainly be re-opened, and we definitely don't need a fourth AfD). Black Kite (talk) 23:02, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. I should have thought of that before spending over an hour carefully reviewing 140 !votes there... Owen× ☎ 23:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks all for the work. —Alalch E. 02:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you an email about requesting additions and a question about a private edit filter yesterday. Codename Noreste 🤔 𝙇𝙖 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙖 02:31, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Responded. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 18:08, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your effort in closing the AfD... but not leaving a redirect is not a policy based outcome, and so I've corrected it. {{R from non-neutral name}} signals that that title is disfavored, the history remains deleted, and random readers landing on that prior name are instead redirected to the much more succinct remaining section in the biography. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 08:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. Thanks, @Jclemens. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 15:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please amend the closure to enable the redirect not to get deleted. The Anome has now deleted and fully protected the redirect per your close: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=161262546. If you feel like you need to talk to The Anome about undeleting the redirect, that would be great. The redirect should be undeleted. Ping Jclemens.—Alalch E. 09:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Given that you are fine with Jclemens' reasoning, I will now restore the redirect: can you please update your closing summary to reflect this? — The Anome (talk) 09:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Anome What you have now restored is the whole page history and created a redirect - which suggests this was closed as "redirect" but it was not. It was closed as "delete". The redirect that Jclemens created was a delete and then redirect. As Jclemens says, the history remains deleted. The redirect is created after the deletion based on the assumption that someone will search this disfavoured term and want the primary article. Whether that is really a policy based outcome is unclear, but that was the intent, and not unreasonable based on the existence of a wikidata item. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume Anome made a mistake here, so I've re-deleted the page and undeleted the correct revisions. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. And thanks for reading your way through all that AfD too! Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to everyone for cleaning up the mess. That was indeed my mistake: I should only have reinstated the redirect. — The Anome (talk) 16:10, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of curiosity, why did you end up closing Where is Kate? as delete, instead of a merge. Especially with your comment "most people felt that, although there is significant coverage, the article contained more detail than was necessary, and a section in Catherine, Princess of Wales would be more appropriate." Esolo5002 (talk) 22:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Esolo5002. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I considered closing it as merge, but many !voters felt that the article's content was inappropriate and should be deleted, and merging would require the article's history to be preserved. It would also have to be a very selective merge, and since there already sections on the main article, it's moot now anyway. Essentially, I felt there wasn't a large benefit to merging it. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please edit your AfD closure summary for Where is Kate? to reflect your recent comments? — The Anome (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've done that now. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 12:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I think everything's sorted now. — The Anome (talk) 16:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My sincere thanks also. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to take this user's talk page access away. See [1]. Thanks! WizardGamer775 (talk) 23:46, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ingenuity,

I noticed that you're quite experienced with article creation on Wikipedia. I would appreciate it, if you could help me look over a biography I recently created on a filmmaker Dare Olaitan. I would just like to be sure it has an encyclopedic tone and that the references are reliable.

Thank you for your time. Aivrie (talk) 01:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
