If you are interested in contributing:

Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, Autopatrolled has been added to your user rights. This lets you bypass most of the abuse filters, bypass the CAPTCHA, and edit more frequently. If you have questions, bleat ask away.

We hope you enjoy your newfound POWER — and these external tools:

  • Google Scholar Button (Chrome, Firefox) searches your highlighted text in Google Scholar. Easily check academic citations!
  • web.archive.org and archive.is can save permanent copies of webpages. Never lose a crank website or racist Tweet ever again!

You should be using archived copies of Twitter references. That's for three reasons: 1) Twitter deletes accounts because of offensive posts (now rarely) or because of inactivity. 2) People sometimes delete their own accounts. 3) People sometimes delete individual tweets. You can use Internet Archive, archive.is or other archiving sites for this. Bongolian (talk) 04:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Articles I will create[edit]

Impersonations, spoofs and anyone who points these out is banned as "Oliver Smith"[edit]

Anyone who points out rampant impersonations and spoofing on this wiki is banned as "Oliver Smith" without a shred of evidence.

Can someone explain what is going on? Griffina (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

I've unblocked you. I'm not sure if you aren't Smith, but I don't want to risk another false positive. The person that blocked you is an overall very competent sysop, but they are also sometimes to hasty on blocking socks. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 19:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
Why are you continuing the same feud with a user that at least two banned Smith socks were? It's not like that user is an obvious sock, and plus, your reasoning is identical to those two accounts. What is your problem with that user? Plutocow (talk) 20:57, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
I am not sure what the previous claims were about CBH. My claim was I suspected they were all the troll/fake accounts on the Willoughby article. The account last week was reverted for vandalism (plagiarism apparently). It looked to me like this user is all the accounts on Willoughby's page: CBH edited a minute after @Jonathan Kane 1488 then within a few minutes of @Antrodemus. Both the latter accounts are new and only made edits to Willoughby's article. Why did CBH randomly show up on that article? They were inactive after their edits were reverted last week on Race Traitor. I also suspect both the Jonathan and Antrodemus accounts are fake. Antrodemus is a Twitter user handle. It seems to me someone is using their name to cause trouble on page (almost certainly the same user as Jonathan Kane who is blocked). I would personally rather stay off talk pages. However, I noticed a repeated pattern of fake accounts/spoofing.Griffina (talk) 21:15, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
