irc cloak edit

Can you please let me know your irc authenticated cloak name, example mine is wikisource/billinghurst. "monitor" must be one of the restricted commands on the list. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:49, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Billinghurst: My cloak name is wikimedia/Count-Count (nick CountCount) Count Count (talk) 08:30, 28 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

help edit

Hi count count

I saw you reported me as a spambot, but I am a real person with a passion for telecom market that’s why my contributions are about this topic. Could you please delete your report?- careerme — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Careerme (talk) 09:44, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

You are spamming the commercial "deal" website internet-offer.ch all over. Your every edit contains a link to it. It does not matter if you are a bot or not, this behavior is unacceptable. --Count Count (talk) 09:48, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I was using the informative guides of that website because I found exactly the overview for the missing information on wiki pages. Why do you think they are “deal”? Careerme (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
They are not a reliable source, see en:WP:RS, de:WP:Q, fr:Wikipédia:Sources fiables, it:Wikipedia:Fonti attendibili. And right on their frontpage they write: "We compare and find the best deal for you. Switch and save today!". So yes, a "deal" website. Count Count (talk) 10:14, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I am sorry, but I do not agree with your point of view: the website pages that I link are not necessarily correlated with the Deals offered by the section, I only reported their guides and company overview where they cite information with a source link at the end of the page. I do not see any difference with reporting an online newspaper where it is plenty of adv banners and that sell users data for lucrative purpose.
I think that as wiki contributors our duty is to give relevant and complete information to our users with sources where they can dive deep into the specific topic without exposing them to the risk of selling of personal data.
Do you agree on that? If yes, I would request to cancel your report as my contribution are respecting the rules. Careerme (talk) 10:52, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't really care if you agree with me. The persistent adding of one specific commercial website (which is in no way a reliable source) in all of your edits and on multiple language versions counts as spamming and that is definitely not allowed. I am confident that the frwiki sysops and the stewards will share my point of view. Count Count (talk) 11:06, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Chatting to Stewards in IRC edit

Hi. I am aware that you are using IRC, though I cannot say that I have checked whether you drop into the stewards channel #wikimedia-stewards. It is a useful place if you quickly want them to block an IP (single or range), or lock a spamming account. Sometimes that is more responsive than having to do other requests. If that is of interest, let me know and I can give a few shortcuts to get things set up for easier outcomes.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have pinged stewards in #wikimedia-stewards before via @steward Please have a look at <my request on SRG> but if there are other shortcuts and/or conventions I would like to know. Count Count (talk) 07:26, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
BTW I am currently working on some anti-spam tools and would like your feedback. One is a library with which I can search the databases for external links over all wikis. I could turn this into a global linksearch web app. The advantages are that it would be quicker (usually < 1.5 seconds) and more reliable than global search which often fails at times of peak usage. It would also not tax the cloudelastic infrastructure as much. What do you think? --Count Count (talk) 07:33, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

IRC Connection edit

Would you be able to stabilize your IRC connection at all? It joins and leaves at least 14 times per day. -- Amanda (she/her) 07:37, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oops, sorry. My bouncer has been out of order for a while and my laptop's internet connection has been flaky. I will fix it. Count Count (talk) 07:45, 22 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for this, but, it's only been 19 hours today so far and we've had 19 joins and disconnects again. -- Amanda (she/her) 22:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
