- Since July, I've turned off my mentions to avoid being pinged. It's not because I don't like it, but there's an annoying LTA who keeps pinging me and several other editors with his extremely immature bullshit he posts on every page he can think of with a load of proxies, and I don't think it's going to stop for a year at the most, or even worse, at the least.

Environmental Impact statements
[edit]I just found a few environmental impact statements about I-85 that will probably be of use to you. When citing them, be sure to use the exact title given in the document and |via=Newspapers.com
at the end of the citation.

- Will do. Thanks. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 05:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Bneu2013 Wait, one question. Does the article look like it's in GA criteria to you? NoobThreePointOh (talk) 05:43, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry I was slow to respond. It still needs some work, but is much improved. These clippings should help:
- I have included page numbers and paper names for articles where this is different that what the website gives. Bneu2013 (talk) 00:05, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! NoobThreePointOh (talk) 00:05, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Bneu2013 Also, can you convert this source into a Newspaper.com citation if possible? This is it: [1] The title is "Part of widened I-85 to open this weekend". Thanks for being a big help. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:33, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Or never mind. I was able to find the archive URL. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 03:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Important note about speedy deletion
[edit]Hi NoobThreePointOh! I greatly appreciate your efforts countering that LTA constantly re-creating attack pages over and over and over again. But there is one major thing I wanted to point out, that I strongly suggest you follow – from now on, uncheck the "notify the page creator" box when CSD-tagging the pages they make. This is clearly and obviously an LTA who will never, ever actually listen to warnings whatsoever, so all that these notices really are doing is 1. inflaming the troll further by angering them and giving them more reason to actually do it; 2. creating unnecessary additional workload in the future for other editors when they blank out old inactive IP talk pages; 3. possibly creating confusion for legitimate other editors who happen to be using those IP addresses. The principle of minimal participation (Wikipedia:Revert, block, ignore) suggests not to place warnings or notices on LTAs' talk pages when dealing with their edits whatsoever.
Please consider these things above when dealing with LTA page creations (and also warnings for edits too). Thank you! — AP 499D25 (talk) 00:20, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, please don't blank the entire message, it's an extra step to find the IP to block. You can just blank all but the signature, then we can use the signature to quickly block. Acroterion (talk) 00:32, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AP 499D25 @Acroterion Thanks for the info. I generally use Twinkle to mark speedy deletions and the G10, but that option blanks the whole page. Sorry about that. I'll only mark it as G5 next time. Thank you again! NoobThreePointOh (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – August 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2024).
- Global blocks may now target accounts as well as IP's. Administrators may locally unblock when appropriate.
- Users wishing to permanently leave may now request "vanishing" via Special:GlobalVanishRequest. Processed requests will result in the user being renamed, their recovery email being removed, and their account being globally locked.
- The Arbitration Committee appointed the following administrators to the conflict of interest volunteer response team: Bilby, Extraordinary Writ
Me and Magnolia blah blah
[edit]Hey, just stop reverting. There is NOTHING to be gained from reverting. Report it and move on: he's just getting a hard-on from the attention. User:Untamed1910, you too. Just stop. You're just making more work for the cleaning crew. Drmies (talk) 22:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I guess I'll stop. Maybe reverting is not the right thing to do. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Possible Andrew5 impostor
[edit]Me and a few other editors have reason to believe that the recent supposed sock puppets might not be Andrew5. Just hear me out. There is a troll that has seemingly been trying to imitate Andrew5 and other SPIs trying to get attention. He has posted personal attacks against multiple people. Death threats against at least one administrator/CheckUser. And he’s been impersonating people. But the impersonations didn’t start until after I warned GeorgeMemulous about the possibility of impersonations. Regardless of whether or not it’s Andrew5; if it looks like an obvious sockpuppet or it’s purely a personal attack username. I’d I were you; unless there is a specific requirement to, I would recommend just contacting an admin or a steward and requesting a block; rather than go through SPI. In both Ponyo and EPIC’s words “revert, block, and ignore”. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 19:23, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for letting me know. Sorry about doing that. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 19:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
