JEE Main 2025 Cut-off and Related Student Suicide Incident

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your reversion on Reservation in India. This is because I think VikingV1's edit is constructive. While I feel that the specific wording can be improved, I think saying that the student 'committed suicide' is clearer and more encyclopedic than a 'tragic incident'. If you disagree, I think the best thing to do is discuss the section on the article's talk page. Best regards, QwertyForest (talk) 17:42, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bloordale Beach

Hey Criticize,

I noticed you helped revert an edit to the page on Bloordale Beach by someone who deleted a bunch of significant info from that page. Thanks. There's someone falsely trying to take credit for creating the "Beach", and presumably they are the person making those deletions. Your help reverting it is appreciated. If you'd like more information, you could contact the person who created the beach at the email address on the "statement from the person who created the beach" document that's linked on the Bloordale Beach page. They'd be happy to tell you the story and answer any questions... The deletion of this information (which amounts to reporting the existence of and summarizing the contents of a statement from the creator of the beach, and adding photographs of the beach) is vandalism with an agenda, which is frustrating. Perhaps you can help prevent further deletions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.22.120 (talk) 01:48, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FAST channel with OTA feed

Ion Television should not be included as it converted to a FAST channel in 2021 , which effectively eliminates the need for an OTA feed for the network anyways since its launch in 1998 as PAX TV. In fact, why not let Ion Television shut down it's broadcast television feed as it converts to an internet-only channel, just like its sister network Ion Plus? 72.134.38.53 (talk) 03:08, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Monitoring the Mentalism page

Hey!

Just wanted to say thanks for monitoring the mentalism page. I've had talks with the person trying to shove their work on the page. He claims he's trying to include the information to ensure the public knows that Mentalism isn't "real" per se. This of course is already visible on the page and rather easy to see.

Use of edit summaries

Hello, @Criticize: Now that you have rollback rights, you can use the main AntiVandal script. I’ve noticed that most of your edits are tagged as manual reverts, so I’m just wondering if you're not really using the AntiVandal tool. Especially since it requires rollback rights. I also noticed that when you revert edits, you sometimes leave a random edit summary like "???" or something similar. This isn’t enough; tools like AntiVandal and Huggle can help by providing the automatic edit summaries you need. Thanks for your time. Happy editing! - Arcrev1 (talk) 06:28, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Arcrev1, I would like to personally thank you for helping revert un-constructive edits on the Encyclopedia.

I am aware of the concerns you have and I am glad to answer them.

1) I agree that the "Floating Question Marks" are not an influential conclusion when un-doing edits that score 99.9% Vandalism. I am obliging to change this and would like to thank you for indicating this critical incident.

2) I am already aware of the existing plug-ins that efficiently help undo un-constructive edits.

The features are great. However, I tested and had problems with them.

As a result, I created my own method to undo edits.

That's why you are see-ing the server tag as manual.

Have a good day and thank you for taking the time to visit my talk page. Criticize (talk) 23:41, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Criticize: Thank you as well for your contribution and for helping prevent the spread of vandalism. I only see a few users active in this kind of work. When I get the chance, I’ll also give you a barnstar. By the way, it seems the AntiVandal script doesn’t have a custom fixed edit summary for good faith edits like content removal and unsourced edits. I’ve only just started using the script. If someone complains, I might stop using it and go back to Huggle. - Arcrev1 (talk) 04:39, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The wikipedia page of my friend is not the right information. Things a where he was born, what kind of music he brings out.

Edits

Is there a particular reason you are removing portions of block messages? 331dot (talk) 11:04, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought It would be helpful to reduce the backlog on the "Categories on Usernames suspected for promotional purposes" as well as other issues. At this point there are too many of them. And I thought it would be helpful to Administrators patrolling these pages for easier identification. The promo and username templates (COI) clearly clarify that the tag redirecting to those pages should be removed once the user has been blocked by an Administrator or have properly disclosed their payment details. Currently I am clearly targeting only users that have been blocked. Since you are an Administrator, am I allowed to continue doing this ? Criticize (talk) 11:18, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly I was just interested in the reason; as long as it's good faith I'm not interfering. I don't know if you should or not, but I'm not interested in pursuing it. If you're interested, you might want to discuss possible solutions on the category talk page, or at the Village Pump. 331dot (talk) 11:44, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:AatiBuu

A tag has been placed on User talk:AatiBuu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Undisclosed paid editing by employee of the company - creator's former username prior to renaming included the company's name. The creator has not declared either a COI or paid editing status and therefore the article should be deleted.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:18, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User warnings

Hello, and thanks for your help on Wikipedia. Is there a particular reason that you appear to be using custom-made warnings when reverting vandalism? Lynch 44 11:13, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lynch44. Some editors don't even know what the word "constructive" even means, and more of that. And I think I already chased away about 4 editors in the past because they took the default templates as an offense when I used them. I felt guilty for that, therefore my creation. Are you against my mod? What do you think should be improved?. Thanks.‎ Criticize (talk) 12:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have no data on whether or not anyone takes offense to the regular warnings (and for that it's worth, the u1 vandal warning is quite nice in my opinion). My main issue is that the templates you are using have quite a few grammatical errors (e.g. here) which can make them hard to understand, as well as the fact that these warnings don't get picked up by ClueBot NG (e.g. here), which essentially gives vandals an extra warning. If you are still dead-set on using your own warnings, then just fix the grammar and the formatting issues and I will be fine with it. Lynch 44 12:13, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The reference you added here appears to be alright for the encyclopedia. I also had a look on the video and it seems to prove itself as a good source as well.

Edit of Yes (Coldplay song)

Hello there @Criticize:, you reverted by edit and wrote on my Talk page that in this edit to Yes (Coldplay song), I removed content without adequately explaining why.

I disagree: I removed a duplicate citation and recited the same source, just avoiding duplicating it in the reference list. The edit summary was "fix cite." In the future I can definitely be more specific, but this feels like an unfair reversion. I was expanding a redirect and did use edit summaries.

Your recent edit on 1632 series

Hello. Can you give a reason of 13:54, 28 August 2025 when you performed this reversion? You did not state a reason why you believe my edits were nonconstructive.

Are you aware of WP:USURPURL and have recently read the instructions for using {{Cite web}}?

Setting |url-status=usurped is usually done when the domain registration has lapse and the domain is not being used by its original owners. According to the instructions on {{Cite web}}, "With |url-status=unfit or usurped, the original is not linked at all".

The value usurped is a valid value for the field url-status. Bots makes this change that I had perform (and you reverted) all the time. -- 96.82.59.129 (talk) 11:36, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Woah! My bad. Never came across this "Url" rule before, nor have yet seen a bot execute this. As a matter of fact, Wikipedia has a wide number of policies, and I think I covered up 87% of them so far. I will drop the reverting for a moment and utterly knowledge up, thanks.‎‎ Criticize (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad that you are willing to learn something new from this incident. I also knew nothing about WP:USURPURL until I saw GreenC bot in action with this edit and had to look for the reason for the "new" behavior, which I'm guessing only started the past year or two. The problem with popular websites that are maintain by a single person is that the person eventually dies and the domain gets taken by a cyber-squatter who hijacks the domain and makes money by displaying web ads, some of which contains porn. The webarchive of the previous site still contains useful information but the current domain had become an eyesore that should be avoided at all costs. BTW, {{Cite web}}, and its siblings {{Cite news}}, {{Cite book}}, {{Cite magazine}}, {{Cite journal}}, etc. gets new features all the time, even new siblings, such as {{Cite thesis}}, {{Cite tweet}}, {{Cite podcast}}, and a few more that I just noticed and need to try out. -- 96.82.59.129 (talk) 23:57, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Fuentes article

You reverted a edit of mine saying:

I noticed that you made a change to an article, Nick Fuentes, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Criticize (talk) 10:02, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My edit :

In 2023, Fuentes spoke of "an occult element at the high levels of society and specifically among the Jews...they are evildoers they are people that worship false gods they are people that practice magic or rituals...when we take power they need to be given the death penalty". ^[1] ^[2]In an August 9th, 2025 interview Fuentes refers to "Ye" (now Kanye West's) legal name". Fuentes says: "I wanted him to lose (Trump) so that we could elect Ye in 2024 or in 2028...the country is ready to reject Trump as like, not radical enough and a true Hitler-level leader can arise in him..his crash out might fuel the rise of that next person"^[3]

The objection to using the YouTube video as a source conflates the reliability of the channel with the reliability of the statement made by the subject. Per WP:RS and WP:V, the key criterion is whether the source verifiably contains the statement attributed to the subject of the article—not whether the host or channel is independently notable or authoritative. In this case, the video is a primary source (see WP:PRIMARY) documenting the subject making a statement in their own words. The fact that it was published on a YouTube channel is incidental; the channel's editorial stance or reputation is irrelevant when the content being cited is a direct quote from the subject themselves. We're not attributing any claims to the host, nor are we relying on the channel's interpretation—only on the subject's own words, which are clearly recorded and timestamped. WP:RS does not categorically exclude YouTube as a source. When the video is an original recording of the subject speaking, and the identity of the speaker is clear and undisputed, it meets the threshold for verifiability under WP:V. If necessary, the citation can include a timestamp and a brief description to clarify that the quote is from the subject, not the host. Unless there's a specific reason to doubt the authenticity of the video or the identity of the speaker, dismissing the source solely because it's hosted on YouTube is a form of WP:ORIGINALSYN and not supported by policy.

Thanks for fixing my mistake. Sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm new to editing, but I'll remember to cite a source next time. Thanks! Recentcontributor111223 (talk) 17:55, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Humphrey Gilbert

Adding the description of Humphrey Gilbert as being a mass murderer to the introductory paragraph is an accurate and objective statement that improves the accuracy of page by referring to one of the main reasons he is notable. This is very clearly documented in the rest of the article. 50.232.225.14 (talk) 21:25, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that removal. Please discuss it on the article's talk page. Meters (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How to cite or reference a dialog box?

This edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Insurgency:_Modern_Infantry_Combat&oldid=1311737251

I describe a run time error. There is no doc or page to cite.

May I ask who you are? Are you an employee of Wikipedia? 75.155.107.249 (talk) 17:13, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is known as original research, which as WP:NOR describes, is “facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published source exists”, and is prohibited. Celjski Grad (talk) 15:45, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Added a source, but the article is full of unsourced information...

I noticed that you reverted an edit of mine as it was lacking a source. The source was forthcoming, and I added it, so no worries.

However, the article (Artificial neuron) is missing sources for a lot of information, is there a reason why this article is particularly sensitive to new edits? Bowyer Bob (talk) 13:28, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not Criticize, but the omission of sources in an article is not an excuse to introduce more. Celjski Grad (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Accidentally reverted one of you edits (restored now)

I was reverting vandalism edit, however, you were also doing so at the same time, leading me to accidentally revert your change instead of the vandalism one.

I have undone the edit - apologies. Pr0m37h3u$ 14:04, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks, it's a pleasure. I hope the offense to your talk page will not happen again, I am still watching out right now, at least for the next 5 hours.

Casey Neistat

Hi Criticize, other than your and my reverts, can anything further be done about the anonymous IP edits to Casey Neistat? Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 23:00, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, best thing to do, is to wait and see what happens after the applied block expires. If the same disruption resumes once more, I will ensure a filed report, requesting a 2 week anon block. Don't worry, I will be very observant for this, thanks.‎ Criticize (talk) 08:34, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Um what?

Curious as to what this is. Canterbury Tail talk 12:21, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, mistakes happen. I've accidentally blocked someone before, so a stray warning is small potatoes :) Canterbury Tail talk 13:49, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to warn them, just report them to WP:AIV. They know what they're doing. Thanks Lynch 44 11:32, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A bear for you!

You work fast! Thanks for your hard work. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 14:45, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings

Hello. Is there a particular reason you are warning users who you haven't reverted? I have Twinkle and am capable of warning them myself and it is somewhat a waste of my time when the script tells me you've already done it. I believe you've done this twice now. Lynch 44 21:52, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I am afraid, I completely have no words here. I think the server records us at the same split second reverting these edits, and I am very certain that I did revert them on my own upon immediate sight, therefore the warning follow up. Like I said, I really have no words here. As a matter of fact, I believe working in recent changes is all about teamwork. Have a good day. Criticize (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not vandalism

Source for the Trial

Was just about to do that. Have been adding content and then citation right after. Xkeylimepie (talk) 06:00, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks. Now, my advice to you is to edit a page until it's fully complete to your desire before publishing. Besides the commonly used "publish" execution, you could also use "show preview" to picture how your work will exactly look like before using "publish". It's not just me, but any viewer can accessibly view what you edited even if you intend to complete that, at a later time. ‎ Criticize (talk) 06:14, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Xkeylimepie, I tried to give you some advice. Now look what has happened to you.‎ ‎ Criticize (talk) 06:29, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! I saw. Adding the citations as I go. Thank you for the advice. Xkeylimepie (talk) 06:32, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen it described as a lost film on several sites.

Yo Criticize! I see you haven't been deleting the vandalism for almost a week now. I also see the above convos and you look so down. So I jst wanna give you your first barnstar! I have seen the work you do and am impressed with ur use of the huggle. It must have made people so damn jealous instead of appreciating you with this. ~~Baah, Forget those pathetic delusional loosers, most admins are‎ stupid and‎ suck‎ on wiki.~~ Criticize you are the only huggle GOAT!!!!! I edit some of the Afcon pages btw. Hope you see this message! many cheers :) 41.210.147.208 (talk) 07:37, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your hypothesis may be significantly correct when you mention the word jealous, however, please don't insult them.‎‎ Criticize (talk) 09:24, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the insane online length you've been showing in recents changes. It would hurt to see you go :(

Where are you? I pray to God you are only taking a damn break. 41.210.147.208 (talk) 07:40, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Negative. I never take breaks. After receiving these, I've decided to stay low. Re-build versions of huggle, watch activity in other namespaces, and invest time elsewhere. I'm afraid I fear the ability to continue for now, after cautious observation of the words, because your editing makes no sense at all. And if I perform another different blatant mistake similar to this, I could risk being blacklisted. Or if someone comes here stating that I'm using rollback incorrectly, like this, it just won't look good at all.‎‎ Criticize (talk) 09:30, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Criticize, why stay low? Well, I understand how bad the sentence in her comment feels like. Mistakes happen all the time, but I don't think you can get blocked if a mistake was done unknowingly or in good faith. Xpad (talk) 10:38, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Criticize have you returned? Xpad (talk) 10:37, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? Xpad (talk) 23:58, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Xpad. Hello there, I kindly request for your patience. The time-out that I am currently going through is not only prior to the remarks that may have attracted your attention, but to be indisputably positive if huggle is working correctly, and repair the program accordingly. There are plenty of other revert editors who do a very good job erasing (vandalism) bad-faith edits the best way they can. Please, be patient. Have an amazing up-coming weekend, thanks.‎‎ Criticize (talk) 03:24, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok. Xpad (talk) 10:23, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
