CheckUser

Greetings, 0xdeadbeef, I hope you are doing well. I see that you have been promoted to full SPI clerk. I believe that the CheckUser tool will help you to assist your SPI cases in a better way. When will you be applying for the CheckUser tool set? Regards  Maliner (talk) 18:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@Maliner: I'm not sure if I can currently commit enough time right now to learn how to use the CheckUser tool set to contribute. I'm fine with being a SPI clerk for now. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 11:56, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Moving an article from the Russian-language section

Hello! I wanted to transfer an article from the Russian wikipedia to the English version, but found that an article with the same title was removed from the English wikipedia in 2017 for copyright infringement. I would like to transfer the article from the Russian Wikipedia, observing all the rules of Wikipedia with the indication of authorship, of course. How would it be better and more correct to do this? Please give me some advice. This article would be important for English users. MorozovKa (talk) 07:57, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @MorozovKa, please see WP:Copying within wikipedia to see instructions on how to leave attribution. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 11:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

nixOS

nixOS is cool, and it's cool that you contribute with it.

That is all. /home/gracen/ (yell at me here) 15:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Hey thanks! :D I've used NixOS exclusively for about one or two years now. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 06:06, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

I use Arch (btw) and really have no interest in switching to anything else, but I've heard a lot of nice things about nixOS (and a friend of mine is considering switching from Gentoo). How is it? /home/gracen/ (yell at me here) 15:56, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

The main selling point is quite good: a reproducible system with configurations that can be uploaded to a repository and be saved effortlessly. The bad parts is that the tooling is not very good, documentation is not the best (definitely not as good as the Arch and Gentoo wikis, those are really really good), and the language is often confusing. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 10:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

WikiAuthBot2 on Russian Wikimedia's alternative server

Hello! We at the Russian Wikimedia's alternative all-projects Discord server (I'm its owner) would like to invite WikiAuthBot2 to be used as an auth bot (as the old WikiAuthBot is not working for quite a while so we are currently authenticating members manually). Thanks! Well very well (talk) 20:31, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I have DM'd you on Discord. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 14:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @JJPMaster: I don't think this requires discussing privately so I'll reply here. I'd consider reaching out to Enterprisey via the channels mentioned at the top of his user page or open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/enterprisey/wikipediholism-test/issues), as I don't see any licenses in the repo, and he developed the test so he has to be the person to release it under an open source license. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 14:38, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
