Question[change source]

Ralebg Hello friend, can you please tell me was my page C-Infinity deleted? Have you even read what I wrote?

@Ralebg: Yes. I read it enough to know that it's a copy of your failed enwiki draft. If it didn't work on the English Wikipedia, it's not going to work here. Wikipedia is not for advertising or product promotion. And you certainly can't copy paste to try and force the article. The Simple English Wikipedia is much more difficult to write on since we have language restrictions. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with our community prior to participating. Operator873 ^connect 21:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a just simple product promotion. C-Infinity is a revolutionary vr gaming platform that reduces nausea. Motion sickens in vr is a real deal among gamers. There are scientific papers in research about C-Infinity, one is published and cited in the article.

And you have products like Meta Quest, Oculus in Wikipedia.

You had a virtual reality fundraising campaign https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016-2017_Virtual_Reality_Fundraising_campaign, you refenced an ArsTehnica article. The same tech magazine wrote about C-Infinity in february, I referenced that article..

But OK, you are the administrator, if you think it is not enough, we will wait a few more months for more research papers about C-Infinity to reference. Ralebg (talk) 22:00, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralebg: I'm glad you admit and acknowledge you are violating the Pillars and Terms of Use by promoting a product. This is the only warning you'll receive on this project. If you use Wikipedia for advertising or product promotion, you will be blocked. Operator873 ^connect 22:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But I have disclosed my affiliation with the company, as requested by wikipedia rules? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ralebg Ralebg (talk) 22:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralebg: This isn't the English Wikipedia. This is the Simple English Wikipedia, an entirely separate project. Disclosing your conflict of interest only means you absolutely should not write about the things you're conflicted about. So again, don't do it here. Operator873 ^connect 22:06, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Will do as you say.

But you do have product articles

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Quest_3

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogwarts_Legacy

Etc.. Ralebg (talk) 22:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralebg: Believe it or not, people with a financial interest in those things didn't write the articles and weren't paid to write them. As you know, Paid Editing is a ban-able offense. :) Operator873 ^connect 22:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know. But I hope you also know that UpWork and Fiverr are full of Wikipedia Editors offering fast article publishing for a hefty sum.

I hoped I could do it by myself, follow the Terms of Use, disclose the affiliation, write the article and impress my boss. But it looks like I will fail at this job. :) Ralebg (talk) 22:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralebg: Sure. Lots of people have committed murder too, yet it remains illegal. Just because others break the rules doesn't mean it is without consequence. Have a great day. Operator873 ^connect 22:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but by censoring like this you are stimulating that entire industry. You too have a nice day! Ralebg (talk) 22:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IP[change source]

Hi Operator873, Hope you're well, I could be wrong but I believe 2601:2C6:580:EEB0:566F:56D8:CB45:E2A0 is 161.51.248.44 who's blocked for the exact same edits, Just thought I'd give a heads up incase you weren't aware, Many thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 22:25, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Davey2010: I wasn't aware... honestly hadn't looked too hard into it. Next edit they'll get blocked anyway. Operator873 ^connect 22:30, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah okay no worries, I was wondering why you were very patient with them lol now i know why, Anyway many thanks for blocking them, Many Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010^Talk 22:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IRC down - assistance needed[change source]

Hello Operator873, could you please help me with the vandals who I reported in WP:VIP? All of the IP's are in the same range and are vandalising Headcorn. Assuming they are from a school. Also, IRC is down. Cheers Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 14:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hockeycatcat: I am not near a computer right now but IRC is not down. When you were online this morning, you weren't using my client. I have no control over Kiwi. Operator873 ^connect 16:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Operator873, IRC is letting me log in again now which is great - I know you do not have control over it, I was just letting you know since I would've contacted you through there instead. The vandals who I mentioned earlier have already been blocked by MathXplore (great addition to the admin team). Kind regards, Hockeycatcat (talk) (changes) 16:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback permissions[change source]

Hello, I'm trying to undo some vandalism on the Carlos Mencia page, but am being blocked because my edit is identified as harmful. I plan on doing some more anti-vandalism work here using SWViewer and was wondering if it would be possible to receive rollback permissions. I am already a rollbacker on enwiki (here is a link to my CentralAuth: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Ternera), so I am familiar with how it works and I have been using Huggle for some time now. Thanks! Ternera (talk) 16:46, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ternera: if you're familiar with how it works, then you should also be familiar with the proper way to request it. My talk page isn't the right place. Operator873 ^connect 16:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for picking the incorrect place. You may want to edit the WP:ROLLBACK page, which says: "You may ask for rollback at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback or on an administrator's talk page." Ternera (talk) 17:02, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ternera: I don't know you. And I said above your ask that I'm not at a computer. I'm not sure what answer you were expecting. Operator873 ^connect 17:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, sorry for bothering you. It sounds like I took that part of the page out of context. Ternera (talk) 17:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
