Thanks for your Karen edit

Thanks for your removal of the Michigan university rule not to use "Karen" as a tongue-in-cheek thing. It was placed in another section by someone else and moved by me without realizing it was a joke. --D.g.lab. (talk) 21:48, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fort Osage High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Truman High School. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Same Thing Again

This is the same guy that is blocked for a year because of persistent disruptive editing. He is using a new ip address 172.58.188.128. Oshwah and Wugapodes were of great help last time but it's better than more than one person complains about him. Just go to Wugapodes talk page and Oshwah talk page and just say what he is doing persistent disruptive editing. And it's the same person from last time. That was blocked for a year and has about 6 months to go. Anyway please do it, it's better that more than just one person complains about his nonsense. Thanks, Doriden (talk) 02:13, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I could kind of tell that that IP knew that he was being disruptive and had probably done it before. They are blocked now; I reported them to AIV. Thanks, CutlassCiera 02:16, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive Behavior

Mr.Cutlass, yes this guy has been doing this nonsense for a few years and keeps doing it over again. Another ip address that he was using is currently blocked for a year. Same subject matter and same kind of fixation thing with him. Now the ip address is blocked for 31 hours, what about the other ip address that he was using earlier 172.58.188.128? He'll be back at it in 30 hours. Oshwah and Wugapodes were very helpful getting him blocked on the other ip address that he was using, it was a long one. Thanks for your assistance, Doriden (talk) 02:57, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

If he starts again with the nonsense after that block (which appears to be likely), I will talk to them. However, for now, I will wait and see. CutlassCiera

Cutlass, good evening, regarding the block on that persistent disruptive editing person, Wugapodes said that it's a range block and when the 31 hours expire it'll still be blocked along with the other 172 address for 6 months. Anyway, thanks for your assistance. Doriden (talk) 02:01, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Why it is supposed to be deleted? 196.156.7.94 (talk) 18:10, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

"Jean Charest" Page Vandalism

User 65.93.217.175 acted in bad faith in their vandalism of the "Jean Charest" page (16:30 10 march 2022). Please issue a stage-3 warning and elevate page to semi-protected status. T.y. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.246.133 (talk) 04:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi 65.93.217.175, I'm not an admin, so I can't upgrade the protection, nor does it really need to be protected as the only vandal edit was the one I reverted. That vandal had only made a single edit there, so I only gave them one warning. Thanks, CutlassCiera 12:56, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Sonic 3 Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson's involvement has been confirmed by Buxer, Cirocco, and one other dude. Shouldn't we just add him as uncredited instead of completely removing his name. The only thing that says that his involvement was removed was Sega, Naoto Oshima and possibly others at Sega. Howard Drossin said he barely fixed Jackson's music and so I would still credit him as uncredited. Aalji (talk) 11:39, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

@Aalji:I reverted this because it explicitly said in a hidden comment to not add him as he was not credited and his involvment is subject to debate. Please take this to the talk page instead, as the last discussion of this was 2009, so it may be different, but the hidden comment still stands for now. CutlassCiera 11:54, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Hes Back

That persistent disruptive editing person 172.58.172.5. Doing this same thing. Doriden (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doriden: Alright, contact an admin again and they should be able to deal with it. Thanks, CutlassCiera 16:51, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

It would be better if you did too, the better it is with more than ONE person complaining about it. Thank you Doriden (talk) 16:53, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doriden: Looks like they have been blocked by Ohnoitsjamie. CutlassCiera 16:56, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Great, now they all have to be reverted. What does he get out of this? He has a long history of doing this nonsense. And its mostly useless stuff anyway. But he wants to have it in his own phrasing. OCD, or maybe he feels a sense of power. Can you please revert the Jersey city fire Department. I'm on a mobile device and it's a pain in the neck. Thank you Doriden (talk) 17:01, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doriden: I have went through and reverted all of their edits, including the Jersey City Fire Department one. If I missed any, please tell me. Thanks for bringing this up. CutlassCiera 17:03, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Doriden: Looks like he's been blocked. Thanks for notifying me about that. CutlassCiera 18:24, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I notified one of the administrators. He's hell bent on his agenda, whatever that may be. Thank you, Doriden (talk) 19:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Consensus on Rancho Tehama

Hello, could you direct us to the consensus discussion you refer to? Cheers, Fettlemap (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@Fettlemap: Talk:Tops Friendly Markets#Buffalo edit war CutlassCiera 21:51, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Japan Air Lines Flight 123. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 2404:0:8021:A622:6511:5DEC:43B6:B1FD (talk) 06:28, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your edit @Cutlass in the article JAT Flight 367, you are right! It doesn’t make since on why the creator uploaded that photo into wikimedia commons even though it has all rights reserved on it in flickr, its original source. I really didn’t realize because when I was using the photo, it showed that some rights were reserved. Thank you very much and be safe! Javyriv (talk) 22:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Reminder on WP:BEFORE

Hey Cutlass. To say the least, I was shocked to wake up to an AfD for the article which I was planning to GAN this morning… But nonetheless, I wanted to give you a quick reminder on WP:BEFORE since you AfDed the article, no discussion and no PROD less than 26 hours after it was created. Coincidentally, you used WP:LASTING as one of your arguments, but you somehow seem to forgot the event occurred 3 days ago? How on earth could there be lasting coverage when it occurred 3 days ago?? I wrote the article 2 days after the event occurred, giving it enough time to see some lasting-level coverage. Out of curiosity, I casually did a Google search and one hour ago is an entire news article about the tornado ([2]). All of that was to say you might want to check out WP:BEFORE and consider alternatives to deletion (in this case, merging into Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023, the parent outbreak article OR Tornadoes of 2023, the parent of the outbreak article) or at the very least wait to actually see if there isn’t lasting coverage. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

It's not notable. The tornado itself is an event that should be located inside of the outbreak article, as many other tornadoes are, such as the Bowling Green, KY one of December 10, 2021. I did outline in the AfD that the article, in my opinion, should not exist, because ideally this should be covered inside of the parent outbreak. In addition, WP:DEPTH also applies, a good amount of those articles are repeating the same points. CutlassCiera 18:06, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
So you actually support a merge then…You did just prove my point that you forgot WP:BEFORE, since you are really in support of a merge, but choose to do a week-long Afd instead of a requested merge. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
Alright, that was my bad, but my original point still stands. CutlassCiera 18:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
I'd avoid dying on the "merge" hill since the way articles are structured, and the way the current summary on the outbreak page is structured, it is a given that after article deletion the tornado would be summarized on the outbreak page. I don't believe there is a problem with how Cutlass responded. I feel it's dissonant to both support the article under the reason of "planning to GAN it" but also recognize there are issues regarding WP:LASTING on it. I don't think this event is worthy of GAN nor of an article yet. Wikiwillz (talk) 19:00, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
I would agree. By merge, I meant that having a summary of the tornado on the oubreak page would be good, but for sure not the way the current article is structured, which in my like would mean WP:TNTing the page and starting a new summary, mainly due to the amount of bloat that exists in the current form (e.g. intricate detail that serves no other purpose). CutlassCiera 19:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey Cutlass. I wanted to ask if you could withdraw your AfD nomination for the 2024 Sumedang tornado. The AfD already has 2 delete !votes (plus yours). If you withdraw the AfD, I would be more than happy to bold merge/redirect that article. Due to past issues, I cannot and will not redirect/merge the article while the AfD is ongoing, meaning deleting it is being held up on the technicality of the seven-day AfD. So please, withdraw the AfD so myself or you even could merge/redirect the article to Tornadoes of 2024. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe (talk) 20:38, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Cutlass. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 00:00, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Your warning on user:2600:1702:5345:2010:0:0:0:17

You don't need to use warning level 1 on their talk page since their edits were clear vandalism. You should probably use level 2 instead. See WP:UWLEVELS. KnowDeath (talk) 02:49, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

I know, I'm still getting used to using Huggle. If I was using Twinkle I would've gave a level 3. CutlassCiera 02:50, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
I see. KnowDeath (talk) 02:59, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
There isn't a way to give a higher level warning from the start using Huggle. In addition, multiple other users have told me that giving all four tiers of warnings is usually fine. CutlassCiera 18:15, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

AfD troll

I see where you reverted that troll a dozen times or more, but I don't see where you reported them. With such persistent trolls, reverting is no use: they get a kick out of it. Report them at AIV please. Drmies (talk) 19:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

@Drmies: I did report them at AIV here, and I assumed you were already watching the page (and blocking each IP), since you were the one who blocked the first IP. By the way, that IP range you blocked is literally all of Verizon Wireless's network in the United States. Anyway, thank you for your work on the encyclopedia, and I'll keep that in mind. CutlassCiera 19:57, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
@Cutlass, I should have warned you that they like to post fake block notice etc. @Drmies I reported the ip as well, but as they had been article blocked the bot has removed them occasionally. Knitsey (talk) 19:59, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer granted

The temporary account IP viewer logo, composed of the Wikipedia globe with a user and an IP address

Hello, Cutlass. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

  • You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
  • Access should not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

  • When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
  • Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
  • Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Salvio giuliano 08:11, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
