| * {{comment}} I am pretty sure that you don't actually know the scope of the problem, and your parading around telling those who are knowledgeable on these matters is very telling. I doubt that many have actioned more spambots than me, either when I was a steward, or an operator of COIBot, a current writer of global abuse filters, or managed that spam more than me. As an admin of about ten years here, and more elsewhere, all I have got to say is that it is probably time for you to get up-to-date, and that would helped by you listening. Ten years ago we had no spambots, these days we have plentiful, absolutely: they morph, they invade and the spammers take over dead domains, and they infect wikis and cause huge problems. We have a global spam black list that is enormous in size, and matched by one here. Now you arrive here telling us how to do our tasks with no understanding of the scope of the problem. Let us reflect on that. — ] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">]</span>'' 14:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC) | * {{comment}} I am pretty sure that you don't actually know the scope of the problem, and your parading around telling those who are knowledgeable on these matters is very telling.

| ::: Do such blanket insults generally help you get your way with a minimum of effort? You're a beautiful example of taking a difference of opinion and attributing it to ignorance and hubris on the part of the other party, attempting to discredit their validity by sneers and dismissal (parading? really?) Do you also ever refer to "those people" or otherwise demonize the "other" with whom you disagree? Or are you capable of acknowledging that another view, however different from your own, might not, in fact, spring from their ignorance and incompetence, but rather from a valid view which deserves attention and consideration? do you find that your heavy handed dismissal of those who believe a different approach is worth discussing as ignorant and foolish generally shuts them up? Because that approach doesn't work with me. If you have valid arguments for why your approach is better than that actually outlined by current policy, then I am willing to listen. If you have intelligent rationale for why I might be misinterpreting policy, I am willing to listen. If your only arguments involve insulting me, calling me out of touch, directly implying I lack knowledge - well then, you're part of the damn problem. ]] 12:04, 21 October 2019 (UTC) | |||

Clint PulverHi KillerChihuahua. You recently deleted a page that I created Clint Pulver. Is it possible to get that page put onto the talk page or onto my sandbox? I got some good feedback on the Articles for Deletion page and would like to improve the article and resubmit. - tbc32 (talk) 014:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
HaroldDunlop unblock requestHi KC, I noticed you put the unblock request at User_talk:HaroldDunlop on hold a little under two weeks ago. It looks like discussion died off around the 19th. Are you still considering unblocking? SQL 02:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Category:16th-century Lebanese poetsHello, KillerChihuahua, In the future, if you come across an empty category, please just tag with a CSD C1 tag, do not delete it. Then, empty categories sit for 7 days in Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion. If, after a week, the category is still empty, then it is deleted. If it is no longer empty after 7 days, then the tag is removed. This is the process now because it gives category creators time, after creating a category, to find appropriate pages for it. Also, sometimes categories are emptied out-of-process and this week gives other editors time to discover what the issue is and recategorize articles. Thanks! Liz 16:48, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:55, 2 October 2019 (UTC) SpambotsHi KillerChihuahua, I noticed the recent discussion you were involved in on Cahk’s talk page. He’s right: those accounts are spambots, and they’re eligible for blocks with TPA revoked with no warning. It’s just a script that runs to spam links, not a human being, so warnings don’t do anything. If we decline to block here, someone can just go over to m:SRG and they’d be globally blocked on request. Not a criticism of you since many AIV patrolling admins don’t recognize them, but I did want to reach out about it for the future
