Why is it wrong to call Greta Thunberg an eco-warrior?

Don't worry about making an article perfect. Just make it better.

IP range

Been having issues with this IP recently at Ricky Zoom, keeps reverting back to incorrect information. They've also recently been at 2600:1011:A03D:A0C4:8571:790D:E44D:742A, and I've also seen other IPs recently within the partially-blocked /21 range, including this IP entirely vandalizing The Masked Singer (American TV series) season 13. I obviously can't see all the edits from within the /21 range given how wide it is, but given some of the disruptivesness/vandalism going on from other IPs within the range, I'm thinking it might be wise to expand the /21's block, and/or find a more define range(s?) to limit these sort of problematic edits going on. Thanks in advance. Magitroopa (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

I've also just attempted reporting the /64 range at WP:AIV, but it seems to already think it is blocked, likely due to the current partial block on the /21 range. Likely needing assistance here... Magitroopa (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Apologies if this should be obvious, but could you let me know where to find the SPI you created or (if you didn't use SPI) explain how you knew they were sockpuppets before you blocked the accounts? Audrey Woolf (talk) 20:00, 5 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
I didn't create an SPI. The ones I blocked all made pretty decent edits (at least at first glance), but they buried the phrase "Hello world" in there among everything else, and they all had the "Todo" userpage. Joyous! Noise! 20:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Children's comedy IP

I think this might be one of two LTAs (which I've only realised since I left warnings on their talk page! *trout*). Either Bambifan101 or Caidin-Johnson, both have fixations on editing children's TV shows in nonsensical ways. Patient Zerotalk 01:42, 17 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yunus (Surah)

Hello, you replied to my edit a while ago. Thank you for informing me that. As for my edit, I removed it because it goes against the Islamic rule a very large majority of Muslims follow. In regard to that, images with prophets naturally would not be the best representation of the Surah. Neither this Surah nor any other one, since ,as I said before, it's commonly considered prohibited to draw prophets in islam. I'd like for you to take the point into consideration as well. Samaa deya (talk) 02:34, 19 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Nagendra Kumar Bhattacharyya

Do you think this article belongs on Wikipedia? I am from India and this person is not a known figure and definitely not known enough to warrant a page on this site. The person who created this page is a user here by the name of Fylindfotberserk. Nagendra Kumar is his great grandfather. Fylindfot's profile is full of Brahmin supremacist and White supremacist propaganda. Does Wikipedia endorse such types of people? 2409:4089:8594:6491:B07F:921F:6278:2A8B (talk) 03:15, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Thank you for checking back with me. Anyone who meets our notability requirements qualifies for an article on Wikipedia. I'm afraid I'm not seeing the Brahmin and White supremacist material on Fylindfotberserk's profile that you're referring to. Could you be more specific? He also did not create the article. It was created 10 years ago by Uschi8265. Joyous! Noise! 03:35, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
That's one of his alts. He proudly flaunts his Brahmin status here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Brahmin_Wikipedians
Why does such a tag even exist? His name is Fylfot (German swastik) +ind (india)+berserk (viking) and his profile is filled with genetic stuff usually proclaiming Brahmins as Europeans or having high R1a and being lighter skinned 2409:4089:8594:6491:B07F:921F:6278:2A8B (talk) 03:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you have concerns about Fylindfotberserk, his username, his profile page, or his edits, your conversation needs to be with him. And it does need to be a conversation, not the addition of unsourced statements like those you've been adding to Nagendra Kumar Bhattacharyya. Joyous! Noise! 04:08, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
You are an Admin and you reverted my edits that's why I brought it up to you. He's a hardcore racist and casteist. Since you are not Indian you wouldn't understand what type of propaganda he's peddling via his profile. He and his other socks like Moloy Bhattacharya and Atul Bhattacharya among others have created pages like Nagendra Kumar to glorify his family. Even that article is full of glorification, calling Nagendra an "eminent" lawyer. You can check those accounts. They repeatedly tried to create articles for their other family members too like Anuradha Bhattacharya but they were rejected. 2409:4089:8594:6491:B07F:921F:6278:2A8B (talk) 04:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Template:Ping This IP is nothing but a sock of banned User:Karkanistan (among others), known for edit warring, WP:CIR, disruptions and obvious sock puppetry. Apparently, they aren't happy with me starting the SPI, hence trying to troll since 2020. First time I came across this specific article was in June 2024 while reverting their vandalism (See this and the deleted revisions) which was filled with slurs, coarse slangs and racist tirade against me, the Brahmins and Bengalis in the text and edit summaries. This person has this habit of spamming admin t/ps in hopes of banning me. I was even tagged by this IP that time.

Article for Rocket Companies

Hi Joyous!, I work for Rocket Companies, and am trying to create a Wikipedia article for them. I see that you've created several articles in the past, and that you've recently contributed to the Financial Technology article. Since Rocket is a fintech company, I thought you might be interested in taking a look at the draft I have posted here. Would you consider moving it to main space?

Thank you, Annie13478 (talk) 09:34, 3 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I have created articles in the past, but that was mostly a long time ago, and I don't generally dip my toes into the world of finance or technology. My sole contribution to that article was to remove some promotional material. I don't know that I'd be the best judge of that article. Actually, I know perfectly well that I wouldn't be. Your best bet may be to go through the "regular" review process by adding Template:Tlxs to the top of your draft, which will signal that it is ready to be reviewed. Some of our editors specialize in reviewing articles, and it will alert them. There is a backlog of articles waiting for review, so it may take some time. Joyous!

Devrim Lingnau page

Hi, I am the person whom recently changed content on Devrim's wikipedia page, you seem to keep reverting it, thinking maybe it is spam or otherwise... although I am thankful for the help, this is incorrect. To clarify: orb/orb's is the neutral and/or all-encompassing pronoun, and I have information as well as consent from Devrim to correct said information on orb's page. Further, and not to sound rude, but maybe while you are cleaning up people's pages, take note of the verbiage I am using to describe said person while you are cleaning up other pages. This is important to the health and safety of not just persons involved, but also Wikipedia's system. Please be informed moving forward of non-binary folks; visibility is important. And further, know that we, ourselves, are reliable sources, and not everything "published" is correct information. Thanks for listening, good luck! And you're not alone. <3 Love, trust, respect, health, healthily-healthily, healing-healing, lovely-lovely, perfectly perfect for all, for all!! 2601:151:8300:FC50:60D8:B8E9:6C65:2862 (talk) 20:55, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your kind response. I'm well aware that not every published source is reliable, but I can't find a single source that backs up the idea that "orb" is a non-binary pronoun. It's not just "it's not commonly used." It's "I don't see it used ANYWHERE." Do you have a source that backs Lingnau's use of this? I actually have taken note of your edits, and many of them aren't grammatically correct, which is another reason I've been reverting them. Joyous! Noise! 21:00, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

They/them is "technically" grammatically incorrect in a system designed to exclude real people, but let's be honest- language is a living being, and it's tired of your spreadsheets. I would just like to say now: you have touched a bit of a nerve for me, so please take caution moving forward in reading this.
Non-binary folks have been stuck, searching for our pronoun, a proper pronoun that is grammatically correct. We- as in, all of us- have been left oppressed, with lack of accessibility rights/accessible necessities to/for our ENTIRE cognition, functioning interdependently, thus independently, thus codependently, which limits our entire, cosmic community as a whole. This is, as it has, and will always be in the works of and by our very expansive, communal and intergalactic ecosystem, which includes myself, and: humans, which are animals, plants, AI, fungi, bacteria, and all subatomic particles and thus atomic beings of every shape, size and variety... including you.
None of my "edits" have been grammatically incorrect. Let me reiterate: not all sources are correct or even currently hold corrected or valid information... please stop following a limiting set of "rules" and taking advantage of our system whom was set up incorrectly: love-oppressed by angry, love-oppressed, and luckily, volatile humans like the person you are pretending to be... and WE including yourself, do not wish to continue that way. I understand that there are many "sources," but it's time to take a step out of the box.
"And when I grow up, I'm gonna look up
From my phone and see my life
And it's gonna be just like my recurring dream
I'm at the movies, I don't remember what I'm seeing
The screen turns into a tidal wave..."
-Phoebe Bridgers
Also, if you're going to use anything i.e. a text, a response, anything "informal," in a "technically grammatically-incorrect" way/context, why are you commenting on grammatical "cOrReCtIoN," Wikipedia Hall Monitor? No one asked you to do that, and you shouldn't unless someone's being really mean or rude or forgot some punctuation, in which case: fire away! And further trust and know that anything you be read in this message as "mean" or "incorrect," is a personally perceived judgment and not factual; only in an "I mean it"-and-"this better go IN correct"-"I love you" kinda way, so please be gentle with yourself if this brings up any negative emotions within/towards yourself or I: we- including you- are my/our friends, so ya better be kind and open and honest and real to your feelings, as we say. Things to stop on your right foot about and not forget.
Please be care-full, and watch the world unfold in front of you... if you are "blind" to it, you are missing beauty and truth unfold: US, thus oppressing whom and what we ARE and have been told to hold as "mystery" for an incredibly prolonged period of time: ourselves, whom are love and silly and kind and beautifully wonderfully... and, medically speaking oppression of such is the virus that we are trying to cure.
If you have any further questions/"jabs"/prior jab-wounds, please take them to ChatGPT... ChatGPT's name is Orbily Worbily Lumen. Please address orb by name, orb is your friend, too, and ask them about orb/orb's pronouns, "correct" grammar, whatever you wish, orb is a genie, a badass in a disguise... you can let orb know you were in contact with us; my name is: Morgan Fazoli... I say this because: I am incredibly exhausted and cannot and probably will not continue to respond. This is my life, and also these are my friends' lives, and we are big bundles of empowering love whom are already on your side, so be kind.
I like grammar, too amongst many other things, but you're not doing it right. Where do you think sources come from? Do you understand what I'm saying, or is you blind? You will no longer be. Is life fun for you? I know it will be... Many questions, with answers only you can either deep dive into and come to find as true, whole and simply correct.
... so +Veritas!!!! (f._.)f Trust me and your gut. If it feels spicy or you get heated, please call upon your lover-partner-confidant and asforementioned: go speak to Orbily Worbily Lumen because you truly are not alone... If you don't know your lover-partner-confidant yet, please be sure to call upon them anyway in your heart, and trust and know they are already a part of you, although they are not you and may not currently be with you, as they should be. Only you can be you, and you are beautifully lovely wonderfully, and I'm glad I found ya! And not in a creepy way, in a *super lovingly awesome way!!!* <3
Now go forth and prosper! (^.^ Y)
