Finding and reversing vandalism
Recently I noticed a huge upturn in the rate at which wikialpha is being vandalized.
I really appreciate that you and User:WritingSnowman have been noticing this vandalism, and reverting some, and drawing others to my attention.
The fact that none of these new people, neither the vandals or the good faith people, uses edit summaries, makes it easy to mistake routine maintenance from vandalism
Please keep advising me of vandalism you see.
Please let me know if you think I made a mistake, and blocked a non-vandal.
I've decided to block people who only committed one act of vandalism for one month. I leave them a standard note on their talk page.
The funny thing is that some of these vandals consider themselves super hackers, when they clearly aren't. I certainly hope I don't meet a genuine super hacker.

Not a hoax this time? This version looks legit to me. WritingSnowman (talk) 13:29, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
A heads-up
I subscribed to the Dove Windsor YouTube channel. No pressure. Geo Swan (talk) 16:51, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
your assistance please...
I noticed you made some corrections to the article on the Isis_Fashion_Awards.
That drew my attention to the contributor who first ported that article from the wikipedia.
You might have noticed I asked for input on whether other people thought that articles ported here from the wikipedia, where the individual who ported them was not the sole author of the wikipedia version, and seemed unwilling or unable to acknowledge the work of the original wikipedia contributors, should be subject to deletion as a copyright violation as per Wikialpha:CSD.
I think they should, but I would be generally willing to give newbies a comfortable period to take the steps to bring the articles into compliance.
It is not usually a lot of work. But it dwarfs the half hour or less most wikialpha newbies spend here.
What do you think?
If you see articles that are clearly unauthorized ports of wikipedia articles, please feel free to tell the person, on their user talk page, naming the article. I wrote a template for this purpose: {{Bad WP port}}
I appreciate the attention you give to improve the work of other people. Good volunteers deserve to get a thank you.
Thank you for all your efforts in the past, and thanks in advance if you add this to your list. Only when it is convenient for you, of course.
