Are you interested in becoming a reviewer?

Hi Hasley,

Thanks for you contributions. Just a query: are you interested in joining the Wikibooks:Reviewers? I checked your contributions, I think you probably should have been autopromoted a while ago, according to the requirements. But for some reason the software seems not to have autopromoted you. That happened to me too.

I noticed that you recently got the autoreviewed right from Leaderboard, but the reviewer right gives you the ability to review others edits: see Special:ListGroupRights for the differences. Anyway I'm not an admin, so I can't give you these rights, but you could apply at WB:RFP. It does seem a bit quiet there at the moment, but I think if you asked User:Pi zero directly on their talk page they might also be able to help.

Thanks for your consideration, --Jules (Mrjulesd) 16:59, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

(I do wonder about the autopromotion mechanism; it seems a significant design flaw that it doesn't provide some way to explicitly check what the software thinks of the status of a user relative to the criteria. We have no way to be sure why a user hasn't yet been autopromoted.) --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 17:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hmm it does seem like a few bugs here and there, but I think almost its inevitable. The recently opened phab:T234744 has no reply as yet from a sys admin, perhaps it may be difficult in getting precedence over other problems. --Jules (Mrjulesd) 17:35, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Jules and Pi zero. I've checked Wikibooks:Reviewers and the user rights log. It seems that some users should have been autopromoted. I often encounter LTAs and run-of-the-mill vandals, also I could help with the pending changes backlog. That would be quite helpful sometimes. Kind regards, —Hasley (discuss • contribs) 22:41, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Cool. Perhaps you should ask on Pi zero's talkpage? --Jules (Mrjulesd) 13:49, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Jules, but first I'd rather know what Pi zero thinks. —Hasley (discuss • contribs) 18:20, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

This thread was a lingering to-do item on my list, but I see QU promoted you to reviewer earlier this month. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 02:38, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Please take a look at this talk page

Talk:Reverse Engineering/File Formats. And sorry for big deletion, it happened accidentally because I was fighting with stupid abuse filter which didn't let me simply revert vandalism. 2A00:F41:18F0:B560:FCE0:8C44:92FC:B2AC (discuss) 18:24, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. And I'd like to clarify it happened because of clicking wrong revision to revert to. 2A00:F41:18F0:B560:FCE0:8C44:92FC:B2AC (discuss) 18:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

No problem. I've seen these changes, but you were faster than me. I have reverted it to an old edition. Please tell me if you have problems. Bests, —Hasley (discuss • contribs) 18:30, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Please

Hi Hasley,I am new on wiki do you mind briefing me a little I also want to make great contributions on Wikipedia and it's sister articles if you don't mind.Dear Hasley. Mirabelle heavens (discuss • contribs) 22:41, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

It was about time, I guess

It was only a matter of time. Do you have any idea why the Hermione page always gets the target of vandalism? It's really odd to me. Doesn't that/those guy(s) have a life?. I can't wait until it stops. Or a permament semi-protect of that page. I think it is one person, a persistent vandal. ^L10nM4st3r / _{Roar at me} 07:11, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I do not know why that person chose it as their attack target — unfortunately, that is not really a question I can answer. I would re-protect those pages with a longer duration, as well as, where this has not been done, set up an abuse filter that blocks and prevents them from making their vandalism. Except for global locking their accounts, that is something up to local administrators, and I am not one of them :-). Best, —Hasley (discuss • contribs) 14:49, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@MarcGarver: what do you think of an abuse filter for this? Think you could set one up? ^L10nM4st3r / _{Roar at me} 16:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm not persuaded yet. It might be possible, but any filter would be relatively easy to avoid. A more generic large content deletion by a new account filter might be more appropriate. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 17:56, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Our filter for large removals by new editors warns then tags. I have checked the last few hundred hits and nearly all are vandalism, so I've changed it to warn then prevent. If that's not enough, we can eventually upgrade to warn-prevent-block. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 17:58, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@MarcGarver:, Hasley: It happened again! ^L10nM4st3r / _{Roar at me} 08:02, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

A small edit, so it passed the filter. I'll semi-protect the book for an extended period. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 08:35, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
