SEMI-RETIRED

Due to real-life events, I am physically not in a state to be able to rapidly edit like I have been doing in 2024 to February 2025.

This user is no longer very active on Wikipedia as of February 25, 2025.

AlphaBetaGamma is currently frustrated and may be unresponsive to certain discussions.

Question from CHICKEN NUGGITS on Ranboo (22:34, 29 June 2025)

I'm trying to change the site for this to show the tweet of them actually coming out it was yesterday so and I cant --CHICKEN NUGGITS (talk) 22:34, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If that tweet is from Ranboo himself, and the tweet is already posted, I think you can just cite them per WP:ABOUTSELF. If you don't provide a new source along with your edits, your edits will certainly be reverted due to WP:BLP concerns. (We are really strict on that) AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 02:59, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing the discussion from AIV…

I have basically zero technical knowledge, but sounds like a good idea. Perhaps limit to only non-semi confirmed, and, as you mentioned, would obviously have to exclude things like project pages (I can’t think of instance where this would apply though), GA reviews come to mind, etc. GoldRomean (talk) 04:19, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure non-semi confirmed users/IPs usually never review GANs, although that's my assumption. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 04:21, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know IPs have nominated GAs, so probably somewhere there’s been a GA review by an IP.

Wait, hold-up - isn’t this just WP:G8? And there isn’t anything stopping said vandals from just making main space pages, right? Idk :). GoldRomean (talk) 04:26, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah well, actually, I guess we can just WP:DENY them until an admin arrives with a Nuke. My fault for forgetting that. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 04:28, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well now, if admins wield nukes, what do we lowly rollbackers have? GoldRomean (talk) 04:34, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revert a bunch of other vandalism that have been done prior to the mass-creation spree? That guy hijacked a bunch of album release edits to farm edit counts. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 04:52, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(BTW that was a joke lol), but yes, all (well, most) our editors are so great at working with each other, honestly it’s really cool. GoldRomean (talk) 04:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, Wikipedia won't last a day without editors collaborating, so the website functioning means we're (well, most of us at least) here to build an encyclopedia. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 04:57, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! GoldRomean (talk) 04:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Teamwork Barnstar
	I have to be honest that I was overwhelmed when I saw the AfC backlog just now! Your work at articles for creation is incredible. Thank you so much for being part of the June Backlog Drive eliminators. I miss reviewing drafts, and I hope I am able to get back more actively again.

Question from Youssefthecreator (15:05, 1 July 2025)

Are we allowed to have like exclamation marks '!' And other things like that to show excitement? --Youssefthecreator (talk) 15:05, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In articles, not really. It's not like they are completely banned from articles, but using exclamation marks can mess with the article's tone. On talk pages, comments ending in multiple of them can be seen as WP:SHOUTING and you'll find people complaining about that. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 22:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay, thank you! Youssefthecreator (talk) 05:15, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
