Overleg gebruiker:Beetstra

Hi, and welcome to my talk page.

I am Dirk Beetstra, my main projects are en:User:Beetstra and m:User:Beetstra

My main edits here will concern editors who were performing the same (or similar) edits on more than one wikipedia.

If you want to contact me quickly:
leave a message on en.wikipedia or on meta.wikimedia
contact me on IRC

My edits here

• My edits here will mainly be due to removal of unwanted external links and vandalism. Generally the edits I revert have been performed on a (large) number of wikimedia projects, or the info I remove has been added ('pushed') to a (large) number of wikimedia projects (hence regarding edits that were very similar in nature), and is considered generaly unhelpful.

• If the removal concerns external links, then the removal may very well precede or follow meta blacklisting, and the removal is to prevent further disruption.

• I will be able to provide evidence of the wide scale disruption that has been performed by the editor whose edits I revert.

• Please note that the info on a singular wiki may seem appropriate, but the user I am handling is probably performing their edits on a large number of wikis. If you feel the edit is here appropriate, or even wanted, just revert me.

Terms I use in my edit summaries:

• 'cross-wiki spam' or 'xwiki spam' -> a user has been adding the link(s) I am removing/reverting edit on a large number of wikipedia. The link may already be blacklisted on meta (see m:Talk:Spam blacklist).

My tools

• I have m:Global rollback. If I use it on this wiki, I will probably be reverting something cross-wiki.

• I am a 'bot' operator (software automatically processing wikimedia edits), running a number of bots on IRC, and some on en.wikipedia and meta.wikimedia. The majority of these bots concern 'conflict of interest' and link additions. These bots report to IRC and in that way provide me with information about cross-wiki aspects of certain editors.

General links

• meta external links policy
• matrix of local policies and pages

For more information, see my meta userpage: m:User:Beetstra.

para.ms

Hoi Dirk, ik heb je para.ms edits teruggedraaid. Dat is nergens voor nodig en verkeerd gebruik van de blacklist. Graag de site er zo snel mogelijk weer vanaf halen en je verwijderingen herstellen. Alvast bedankt, Multichill (overleg) 14 okt 2012 13:48 (CEST)

Zie de berichten op meta. URL shorteners worden op meta direct op de blacklist gezet. Bovendien zijn ze nergens voor nodig. Je kunt het hier op de whitelist zetten als je wilt, maar alle problemen zijn voor jullie rekening. Verwacht dat spammers het ontdekken en het gaan misbruiken. Ze doen dat overal op Wikipedia. --Dirk Beetstra (overleg) 14 okt 2012 15:15 (CEST)

Ik zou sterk willen aanraden om ALLEEN de twee specifieke links te whitelisten, niet het gehele domein. Ik ben al voor lange tijd actief in het spam veld, en het is een kwestie van tijd dat spammers dit soort websites gaan misbruiken. Zie bijvoorbeeld en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam#medicanalife.com. Het risico is te, echt, groot. --Dirk Beetstra (overleg) 14 okt 2012 15:25 (CEST)

No COI

I have no COI with any of sources I use, if you kook at Riukiuaanse mon you might see that I use the University of California at Santa Barbara which is a link I used 25 times today on commons to upload images from, the University of California at Santa Barbara did not pay me to upload those scans or write the linked article. I know that you can't understand Dutchso just use a translation machine and compare the sourced text, I was never paid by the University of California at Santa Barbara for those edits or any edits by any party --Donald Trung (Overleg 💬|"Mijn" artikelen 📚) 15 dec 2017 14:09 (CET)
