recent "edit war" on article Children's Health Defense
Hello,
This is regarding the edit war that happened on page Children's Health Defense that you locked, in which I was supposedly involved. When I visited the article earlier today, it was misleading. It was vandalized by an IP address 2600:1006:b16d:4808:4404:a83a:c2b5:c0dd, who was promoting anti-vax fringe theories . I initially didn't know that so made 2 edits correcting the page. Then when I looked at the history I realised it was recently vandalised so I reverted the edit and restored the correct version. Before the vandalism by the IP address 2600:1006:b16d:4808:4404:a83a:c2b5:c0dd, similar vandalism was made by a user named "Wendigo10721" two times, which was reverted by other users as seen in the article's history page[page], and right before you locked the page the user "Wendigo10721" has again vandalised the page, but since you locked the article I can't revert his edit so please do the same.
Also the user "Wendigo10721" is the one promoting anti-vaxx pseudo-scientific theories, so please look into that user.
I just want to make it clear I wasn't promoting fringe theories, in fact I was doing the opposite by promoting correct scientific info about vaccine safety and efficacy.
Also thank you for locking that page, now random vandals won't be able to promote anti-vaxx Bulls**t . 2409:4042:2E22:26B9:2CE0:962D:CA52:CB8C (talk) 16:43, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- I tried to protect the page in a stable state (see WP:PREFER), but if there are problems, please outline the exact phrases on the talk page. It's only semi-protected, so if there's consensus, any logged-in user can correct it. If there are any logged-in users crossing WP:FRINGE, we can address it after that discussion. tedder (talk) 17:46, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
- Now the page is correct as I had reverted the edits made by the vandal promoting discredited anti-vax theories.
There is only one wrong info, as that user Wendigo10721 made a change in the short description right before you locked the page, changing the Type from "Pressure group" to "Advocacy group", which is wrong becauseThat group is leading the anti-vax movement, promoting the false, discredited and non-existing link between vaccines and autism and spreading misinfo and promoting conspiracy theories about Covid vaccines.So just revert the edit made by "Wendigo10721" right before you locked the page [1] and the page will be correct.
- Now the page is correct as I had reverted the edits made by the vandal promoting discredited anti-vax theories.
- Take content disputes to the talk page, please. tedder (talk) 17:07, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
- There is no more dispute as I had reverted the edits from the vandal. I rechecked the article and that user promoting anti-vax pseudoscience hasn't made any changes after you locked the page. Everything's fine now that you have locked that page. I do apologies if I've caused any inconvenience to you. 2409:4042:2E13:BF34:8900:B898:A6E5:38D2 (talk) 05:16, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

- Huh. What happened to (broadly interpreted) "high schools are automatically notable"? At least a redir? Valfontis (talk) 14:02, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hey @Valfontis:! Yeah, that policy has faded away. It's harder to defend when there's no WP:FUTON for some podunk school aside from my little OSAA list and graduation list. I'm sure a redir would work, I just .. have been picking my battles. (also, cc @PeteForsyth: for social reasons) tedder (talk) 18:44, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

It might be better not to use personal names, at least in this point. DGG ( talk ) 07:43, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Boxabl
Hey, it seems like you could be an admin, so I am hoping good faith in your edits and that you truly had not seen that the article says this "Workers at Guantánamo Bay did not properly seal the roofs of some of the new single-occupancy tiny homes being assembled, causing rain damage, mold and another delay for the 2020 project.Credit..." sorry in my edit comment I thought you are doing destructive editing but after reviewing your history, I just think you had not seen the above part. Also the part taking more than an hour, also has nothing to do with Boxabl but the way it read, it seems like they were the problem. I really think this type of comments does not belong on a company page 1) because it has nothing to do with the company and it seems to be staff issue 2) We need more than one incident and citation to claim a companies products are defective. Seniorcroc (talk) 23:05, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- I saw your revert and you're right. I'd missed that caption, which made it clear where the "fault" lied. Thanks for following up on it. The page seemed heavy on the promotional side, but you're right, there's nothing else to explain how good or bad the assembly is. tedder (talk) 23:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you, I had a feeling you had not seen that part. So another issue I see is that you removed the co-founders, which according to their own website include Galiano Tiramani and Kyle Denman. You mentioned some SEC filing, but the consensus should be based on what multiple sources say, not just one. Here are all additional sources that have all 3 people as co-founders:

- Feel free to add it back. I don't know how to weave it in, the son seemed to have come along later, but I couldn't figure it out. Are you connected to Boxabl? tedder (talk) 03:00, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ok thanks. I will fix. No I am not connected. I was looking to buy something similar and doing research, that is how I came along to the page. Seniorcroc (talk) 04:00, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you
I was hoping clear support for WP:EVENT notability had arrived to the Normandale Park shooting article with your addition (that I reverted), but it was published soon after the shooting. I then reviewed the Ted Wheeler article to try to find somewhere to add the information, but was unsuccessful. But for future reference, e.g. with more of a lasting impact, it may become a way to add the information, and a way to link the shooting article to Wheeler's article. Cheers, Beccaynr (talk) 01:02, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- For sure- and I agree on your revert, it was SYNTH. I figure it's worth adding things even if it goes to XfD. Certainly it may work in two different paragraphs of Wheeler's article. tedder (talk) 02:39, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Teleperformance
@Tedder: Why did you add a list a contracts back into the Teleperformance article which are clearly WP:PROMO and indicative of paid editing? scope_creepTalk 12:36, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hey scope_creep, I was adding those because I was interested in who they do work for- and the locations of their offices/employees. They seem to be motivated to not make a big deal about who their customers are, but that's what makes it interesting- for instance the stuff about Apple, Ring Camera, and Netflix in the controversies section. Their work for UK (GB? Britain?) is interesting, not everything is necessarily a controversy or an advertisement. But I don't care enough to make a big deal of it. tedder (talk) 21:14, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Tedder. Thanks for patrolling new pages. I've declined your deletion request for a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to read the new tutorial for patrollers, criteria for speedy deletion, and particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Thanks! 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:F0BD:882E:BDA6:3CDD (talk) 05:41, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching those- didn't realize it that. tedder (talk) 05:43, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Glad I could be of assistance, deletion procedures can be a bit confusing, so people get the details a bit wrong all the time, and it is a rather picayune matter when that happens. When in doubt it is usually best to list at the appropriate deletion discussion venue. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:F0BD:882E:BDA6:3CDD (talk) 05:49, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
user:BerryPie1999 and conflict of interest editing at New Seasons Market
This user has been warned by yourself and by me to not edit this article because of clear COI, and they have continued to do so. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 05:04, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Eh? Their last edits are in November. Unless there are deleted edits. tedder (talk) 23:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
The article Suzuki DR-Z125 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails GNG
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Greetings Tedder! Wanted to let you know that I used your photo of Odell, Oregon for an article in the newsletter I write for Oregon Impact, a traffic safety non-profit. The elementary school in Odell got a grant to set up a crosswalk and walking route to help kids get to school on foot more safely. Beautiful picture, and I did my best to credit properly. 50.209.47.166 (talk) 22:58, 22 March 2024 (UTC) Jamie Lawson

Your advice
I was actually saying to another editor just now that I was going to be taking the Henyard page off my watchlist for the time being in an attempt to disengage from SecretName101. I'll be honest that they got under my skin and I'm aware I'm not necessarily responding at my best. Thanks for the sanity check. Simonm223 (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I stepped in because I saw it was blowing up. I don't have an opinion on the content, you're both longtime editors and I didn't want to throw templates or anything. Thanks for stepping away- "right" or "wrong". tedder (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Tedder. Thanks so much for all the hard work you did to create this article back in 2021!
