Hello, everyone. I am Codename Noreste and I fight [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], [[Wikipedia:Spam|spam]], and sometimes [[Wikipedia:Long-term abuse|long-term abusers]] on the English Wikipedia. In addition, I am also active on other large and small-scale projects; you'll find me active on the [[:simple:Main Page|Simple English]] and [[:es:wikipedia:Portada|Spanish]] Wikipedias, and [[:m:Main Page|Meta-Wiki]].
 
Outside of Wikipedia, I am active on [[IRC]] under the name ''codenamenoreste'' and on [[Discord]] with the username ''codenamennoreste'', and I am active on several test wikis, where I go under the same name on <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.thetestwiki.org/wiki/User:Codename_Noreste The Test Wiki]</span>, and <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.testwiki.wiki/wiki/User:Codename_Noreste Test Wiki]</span>.
Hello, everyone. I primarily fight [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], [[Wikipedia:Spam|spam]], and sometimes [[Wikipedia:Long-term abuse|somebody on the list of the most wanted users]] on the English Wikipedia. In addition to fighting local vandalism and spam on this project, I am also active on other projects; you'll most likely find me on the [[:simple:Main Page|Simple English]] and [[:es:wikipedia:Portada|Spanish]] Wikipedias, and [[:m:Main Page|Meta-Wiki]].
 
== Who are you? ==
In addition to being a Wikipedian here and across all projects, I am also a dude attending college.
Again, I'm a Wikipedian who eats vandalism/spam for breakfast and fights LTAs, but I'm also a dude in real life attending college. Despite my nickname being 64andtim, my name is not actually Tim. Any other username that rhymes with my username is most likely an impersonator, including {{noping|666&tim}} and most notably {{noping|63andtim}}, whom they may be blocked forever and probably locked globally.
 
I first started to edit Wikipedia by creating my user page, with some userboxes and some text. My second edit included this [[Special:Diff/1154364120|diff]] that some people may call this a mistake, but I was a very new user at the time and I was trying to help the project, rather than just harm it. After installing [[Wikipedia:RedWarn|RedWarn]], it made my life so much easier when reverting vandalism and spam, but sometimes (and rarely) I make some kind of mistake by accident.
 
I previously edited under the username <span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#0024FF;">'''''64andtim'''''</span> on this account, and you may call me Codename Noreste, Codename, Noreste or simply CN; any accounts whose names start with Codename aren't likely going to be operated by me.
You may call me 64andtim, 64, or Tim (but again, the latter is not my real name, and thus my real name remains confidential).
 
== What is your work on this wiki? ==
=== Counter-vandalism/spam/LTAs ===
[[File:A no money handshake.svg|thumb|right|200px|upright|Do you recognize this symbol? That's right! Nobody should accept paid editing, and neither do I.]]
 
Now obviously, I use [[Wikipedia:AntiVandalHuggle|AntiVandalHuggle]] onto myfight collegeobvious laptopvandalism or on a randomand computer, [[Wikipedia:Huggle|Huggle]] on my personal laptopspam, [[Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] for a variety of tasks, and [[Wikipedia:UltravioletSWViewer|UltravioletSWViewer]] foron my iPhone to revertingfight andsaid warningvandalism usersand spam, but I also use it to combat cross-wiki vandalism and [[Wikipedia:SWViewer|SWViewer]]spam onas my iPhonewell.
 
When I got [[Wikipedia:Rollback|rollback]] enabled on my account, I've started using tools and scripts that require rollback to fight vandalism and spam much easier and faster than if I were to manually revert or undo such edits. I use [[:m:Selective Rollback|Selective Rollback]] to massively revert a user's edits (mass/rapid vandalism or spam), add an edit summary when I revert, and others. Next, I became a [[Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes|pending changes reviewer]], which allows me to review and revert edits on pages protected by pending changes. My CVUA training page can be found [[User:Illusion Flame/CVUA/64andtim|here]], and while you might see some errors I have made, that training greatly enhanced my ability to identify vandalism in which it requires my judgment and senses.
Line 63 ⟶ 202:
For other stuff that's related to vandalism and spam, sometimes I encounter grossly offensive/libelous or promotional usernames (both would obviously have to be reported if they do their stuff which includes vandalism or promotional edits that I have to revert). When dealing with cross-wiki vandalism and spam, I use SWViewer and the [[m:Special:AbuseLog|abuse filter log on Meta-Wiki]].
 
For somebodylong-term on the list of the most wanted (aka LTAs)abusers, I know some of them and I can tell by their activities and habits. While reverting their edits, I [[Wikipedia:Deny recognition|deny recognition]] to them (and even blank their talk pages). Sometimes, when they can vandalize other projects and,Ihavereport to go therethemto"cleanSRG up"and afterrevert themtheir (andedits, reportif toI SRGcan offind course)any. Anyway, foron the English Wikipedia, there is a specific LTA sometimeson canthe list that may sometimes make me lose my calm a little, bit.and <!--they Thewere LTAbanned pageby Ithe madeWikimedia wasFoundation deletedas andof saltedthis per WP:DENYyear. -->
 
If somebody claims to be me and asks you to create an article in exchange for money, '''don't accept their offer''' at all as '''[[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Scam warning|it is a scam]]'''; the same goes for someone impersonating me and soliciting paid editing work just for you; you should forward the evidence directly to {{No spam|paid-en-wp|wikipedia.org}} for AfC scams, or {{no spam|legal|wikimedia.org}} for paid editing work claims. <!-- This was based on an image caption on MER-C's userpage, thank you. -->
 
=== Speedy deletions ===
Line 71 ⟶ 210:
 
=== Edit filters ===
I respond to false positives from edit filters on [[Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports]], and participate at the [[Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard|edit filter noticeboard]]. For now,Idowould nothighly haverecommend theusing [[WikipediaUser:EditSuffusion filterof helperYellow/FilterDebugger|edit filter helperFilterDebugger]] userif right, but I wouldyou likewanttohelpdebug outon inwhat reducing the backlog of private filtercaused false positives, andortoviewtest theirsome logsconditions asand/or partregex ofwithout mybeing anti-vandalisman workedit tofilter identifyhelper certainor LTAsmanager. ForI thoseuse whoit areto interestedcreate innew helping out with edit filter FPsfilters, Iincluding wouldthose highlyto recommendtrack usingspecific [[User:Suffusion of Yellow/FilterDebugger|FilterDebugger]]vandals.
 
Speaking of the latter, I have requested some additions of phrases to LTA filter {{efl|936}}, and have written and maintained filters {{efl|1292}}, {{efl|1308}}, and {{efl|1313}} on behalf of some edit filter managers. ''Whatever is private should remain private.'' The community has [[Special:Diff/1234260549|trusted me to be an edit filter helper]].
 
== Questions and answers for me ==
=== Have you been blocked? ===
I was blocked for one week because somebody thought I engaged in thea [[WP:GHBH|good and bad handshand sockpuppetry]] of sockpuppetrysituation, but that wasn't the case at all; anthat LTA made multiple accounts to impersonate me and some other users, and they were all blocked foreverindefinitely but that included me (1blocked for one week) and my alternative account (foreverblocked indefinitely). Hours later, both of my legitimate accounts were unblocked per some discussion about my block on my talk page. You may wish to view <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A64andtim3ACodename_Noreste my block log]</span> if you want.
 
Anyway, goodbye to my no-block streak.
Line 83 ⟶ 224:
 
=== Do you have any alternative accounts? ===
I operate an [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Legitimate uses|alternative account]], {{User|64andsomeoneCódigonombre Alguien}}, which is used on public computers, unsecure networks, and/or when my main account could be potentially compromised. For security purposes, I have enabled [[Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] on my main account, and on all projects.
 
=== How can I leave you a message? ===
If you want to leave me a message, I will be more than happy to respond to your message on my [[User talk:64andtimCodename Noreste|my user talk page]], or if you have any sensitive concerns, [[Special:EmailUser/64andtimCodename Noreste|emailing me]] is preferred (as with other human editors, I may sometimes make mistakes). If you leave me a message in Spanish, I will reply in that language in my talk page here or on eswikithe Spanish Wikipedia.
 
One more thing, I am a mentor, and if you are a [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|new user]] in need of help, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.
