Thanks for helping deal with vandalism



I'm interested in your workflow. Is there a webpage that covers recent changes that also highlight high probabilities of vandalism? I'm curious how you respond so quickly! IrateSpecialist (talk) 17:39, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

:I use a tool called WP:Interceptor ↗. It shows recent changes in real time and edits can be reverted really quickly in a single click. It doesn't show how likely it is that an edit is vandalism, but you can adjust the WP:ORES ↗ score threshold so that edits that likely aren't problematic won't appear in your queue. (Higher ORES score = edit has a higher chance of being problematic). I also watch the edit filter and user creation logs to spot promotional usernames and LTAs. <strong style="font-family:Verdana;background:linear-gradient(0deg,#60e1d1,#ffb109);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:#0000">Cicada1010</strong> (talk) 18:00, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Syncorde Jaymitchie (10:50, 1 July 2026)



Hello, Cicada1010!

I am a new Wikipedia editor and was recently assigned to you as my mentor. I have a global Wikimedia account with the username Lolbet101, but the English Wikipedia Account Creation Team created a separate English Wikipedia account for me because my IP address was blocked from creating one. But thanks to User:Rich Smith, my account got created.

Is it possible to connect my English Wikipedia account to my existing global account (Lolbet101) so that I can use the same username across all Wikimedia projects? I would appreciate any advice you can give. Also, I would like to change my name to Lolbet101 than Syncorde Jaymitchie so that I could use this name for all Wikis.

Thank you very much!

- Lolbet101/Syncorde Jaymitchie --Syncorde Jaymitchie (talk) 10:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @Syncorde Jaymitchie, sorry for the late reply.
:I see there's already a request to attach your global account to enwiki. I guess all you can do at this point is wait until an admin sees your request and attaches the account. <strong style="font-family:Verdana;background:linear-gradient(0deg,#60e1d1,#ffb109);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:#0000">Cicada1010</strong> (talk) 21:31, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, I see. Thank you for your guidance. Syncorde Jaymitchie (talk) 09:25, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Rajugiri23 (06:50, 8 July 2026)



Hi I am Raju, how can I create an article and how much time it will take to publish that article --Rajugiri23 (talk) 06:50, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @Rajugiri23, see WP:Your first article ↗. The time you need for writing an article depends entirely on how long you want the article to be and how many sources you have to summarize. <strong style="font-family:Verdana;background:linear-gradient(0deg,#60e1d1,#ffb109);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:#0000">Cicada1010</strong> (talk) 16:24, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from LandSharrk on Tinfoil Hat Linux ↗ (18:25, 9 July 2026)



Hello!
For the [4] source I tried to paste the way back machine link into the auto citation generator thing but it didn’t work and so I tried to make the citation manually but I think i did it wrong and also I can’t find a title for the webpage because the original is like fully offline.
Can you help? Thank you❤️🙏 --LandSharrk (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

:Hi @LandSharrk! The citation you added looks fine to me. You're probably right that the original isn't online anymore. <strong style="font-family:Verdana;background:linear-gradient(0deg,#60e1d1,#ffb109);-webkit-background-clip:text;-webkit-text-fill-color:#0000">Cicada1010</strong> (talk) 14:52, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard



Hi, Cicada1010. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard ↗. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the {{slink|WP:MNB|Survey|nopage=yes}} when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 03:11, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
