Temporary account IP viewer granted
[edit]
Hello, Alpha Beta Delta Lambda. 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 must 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 one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
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! — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:15, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
Unnamed topic about edit request on Talk:Nerdle
[edit]Hi. You closed my conflict of interest edit request on Talk:Nerdle. My apologies for the oversight with the placeholder for one of my references, which I should not have missed. Please note that this is a genuine reference and I will submit a fresh request with the correct details. For info, the reference details are as follows[1]. Many thanks.

- @Richardajmann: hi, thanks for your update. However, the missing title itself is not the main issue; it reveals the underlying issue, which is that it indicates it is generated by an LLM, which is not allowed as we are a human encyclopedia. Also, please use the {{Edit COI}} template instead of the {{request edit}} template. Thanks. Alpha Beta Delta Lambda (talk) 19:46, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Organized Labour September Editing Event
[edit]
You're invited to join the Organized Labour community editing event, a cross-wiki event taking place throughout September 2026!
The campaign brings together Wikimedians interested in improving coverage of organised labour, workers, trade unions, and labour history. We have confirmed collaborations with Wikipedia language editions in English, Dutch, Persian, Serbo-Croatian and French. If you want to add other language editions or other wiki projects you are strongly encouraged to do so! This event spans geography and languages!
This is a one-time invitation. You're receiving it because you previously signed a petition related to Wiki Workers United (WWU). We hope you'll join us!

Rollback granted
[edit]
Hi Alpha Beta Delta Lambda. 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. 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. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
- 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 permission will be revoked.
- Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!
I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback. Good luck and thanks! Katietalk 21:12, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
Thank you
[edit]Thank you for reverting my edit, I did not see that. :) Just sam fr (talk) 18:26, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Checking for LLM-generated text?
[edit]Hi Alpha Beta Delta Lambda, thanks for flagging LLM-generated text at Talk:Machapunga. Can you tell me how Wikipedia determines if text is LLM-generated? This post at Talk:Eastern Cherokee, Southern Iroquois, and United Tribes of South Carolina is extremely similar. Yuchitown (talk) 20:13, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Yuchitown: WP:LLMTALKSIGNS is a pretty good guide of it. Specific signs in that specific post includes: the triple backtick (```) at the end (it's markdown for code indentation) and the fact that lists are formatted with the #'s on alternating lines (I didn't thought it was possible that someone would know how to make a list but not how to format them properly). This is not part of the essay I cited, but I also thought the bolded not clauses are overused which sounds like a thing AI would do, and a link to a nonexistent article, which I felt someone writing such a long response must have previewed and noticed.
- PS: I'm confused, are you just interested in the process or is there something more important? AlphaBetaDeltaLambda αβδλ 21:15, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks! I was curious about the post at Talk:Eastern Cherokee, Southern Iroquois, and United Tribes of South Carolina, which appears to be LLM-generated. Yuchitown (talk) 23:12, 2 September 2026 (UTC)
Why are you biased?
[edit]Edits need to be done to the Fremont expedition in the Klamath Basin. In Fremont's autobiography you will find his account of the Klamath acting friendly and then launching a sneak attack in the middle of the night on pages 485-497. They killed one of his Delaware scouts, a mixed black/indian, and a Frenchman. The context is lost for various quotes about "shooting Indians on sight" because those actions are implied as happening before the sneak attack when the reality is that Fremont only ordered that the day after the attack had occurred when his party were in a defensive position. There is zero evidence that they "killed Indians on site all the way back to California". The only contemporary accounts of this Klamath led attack on Fremont's party are from those who were part of his party including Fremont and Breckenridge. The reality is that it was the Klamath attacking Fremont's party as they were on their way back to California. Multiple instances occurred where the Klamath tried to ambush Fremont's group. Fremont's party were the victims they were in no way shape or form the aggressors! Your entire article implies that Fremont was actively murdering the Klamath when they opposite is true. Sick propoganda is what you are peddling here. ~2026-48381-59 (talk) 09:59, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-48381-59: thanks for reaching out, however at Wikipedia we require things to be reliably sourced and to be netural. Your edits do not seem neutral. If you still disgree, please reach out on the article's talk page. AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 14:07, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
Please don't confuse others by providing incorrect answers to a talk page of an article that you have never edited. Marbe166 (talk) 10:37, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- @Marbe166: hi, thanks for correcting me. Actually, I did edit one of the Deaths in XXXX articles with my old account, but I see what you mean. I swear it used to be like that. Also, Wikipedia would be heavily disrupted if we never answer an edit request without editing its article. Thanks again though. AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 14:03, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
September 2026
[edit]
Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism via use of the rollback tool. However, one or more edits you reverted using the rollback tool, such as the edit at Aubrey Plaza are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Continued misuse of the rollback tool will result in your privileges being removed by an administrator. ~2026-44302-52 (talk) 15:25, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for reaching out, but your edit there wasn't helpful, there's no reason to remove that sentence. See your talk. AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 15:30, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Crystal Palace F.C. 3–3 Liverpool F.C.
[edit]
Hello, Alpha Beta Delta Lambda. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Crystal Palace F.C. 3–3 Liverpool F.C., a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 15:07, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
Edit Questions
[edit]Hello, you undid a section I added in the Grace Lutheran College Article. Apologies for my mistake and thank you very much. I have changed the section (But not published it yet) to fit the other criteria but I am unsure of what to add as a citation as it was more so framework for others with no information in it.
If that is one of the reasons you removed it, as in it isn't right for Wikipedia, or what should be put in it isn't right either, I'd like to know that. I am just trying to help and would appreciate knowing if that sort of thing isn't right for Wikipedia or any other mistakes I made.
Again, thanks! HeirOfTBLT (talk) 10:00, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
- @HeirOfTBLT: welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for reaching out. However, only considering your current edits, you appear to use Wikipedia as the school's (unofficial) wiki, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Perhaps you'd want to create a new wiki (Comparison of wiki software may be a useful article)? AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 10:19, 12 September 2026 (UTC)
Benjamin Britten edit reversion
[edit]Hi AlphaBetaDeltaLambda, you recently reverted an edit I made to an image caption in Benjamin Britten#Honours, awards and commemorations and invited me to leave a message if I wanted to dispute it. The error in question is actually with the image's file name on Wikimedia Commons, which I think should be changed; c.f.
In fact the correct information is already provided and cited in the body text of the same section (see sentence starting "There are memorial plaques to him at three of his London homes"). It was my impression that image captions don't usually have their own citations, which is why I didn't include another?
Many thanks ~2026-49635-89 (talk) 20:18, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- @~2026-49635-89 you're right. I've corrected the caption and tagged the image for renaming. AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 20:31, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you! ~2026-49635-89 (talk) 20:48, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Doc (2025 TV series) removed content
[edit]Hi, I'm reaching out about the content I removed and you subsequently restored on this page. I get what you told me about not leaving an adequate explanation on why I did it: that was my mistake (which I am sorry for, by the way), not removing the content. I explain myself better: I didn't actually remove that content, I simply moved it to the newly created page for the episodes of the series because that's where are listed the episode ratings for all the series which have an episode page. So to me there is no mistake about this and I ask if I can do that edit again (this time leaving the explanation of what I'm doing). Lollo.palo (talk) 11:57, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the message, and no problem. Just add a link to the other page. AlphaBetaDeltaLambda(αβδλ)talk 15:33, 17 September 2026 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
[edit]
Hi Alpha Beta Delta Lambda, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. 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:
- Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
- If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
- If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies
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! signed, Rosguill talk 16:55, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
