Bots
[edit]Do the bots really edit pages or something else because I saw from the citation bot literally remove and replace the same information with the same words Avyanna.Owam (talk) 11:45, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Fake Desi media content querant
[edit]Looks like the Californian troll who pretends to be a poorly comprehending fan of Indian subcontinent media, with poor English, has now got themself an account. (If I was sufficiently motivated, I'd link the thread several months back where they crowed in perfect English about successfully fooling us.) Should something be done about this? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.1.211.243 (talk) 07:51, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure I follow. The last couple of times they've posted on Ents from an IP address, it's geolocated to India. --Viennese Waltz 09:05, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

- Similar questions formerly came from (inland) California. —Tamfang (talk) 03:26, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Discussion topic hatted.
[edit]I've closed up this post on the Ent desk by Félix An that solicited ideas for video topics. The RefDesk is not here to act as an idea lab for users. Frankly, we're also not here to help drive traffic to a YouTube channel. Matt Deres (talk) 16:37, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
Reply to old discussion
[edit]I wanted to reply to conversation here Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2023_March_11#Kure_eponym here, is that ok? I found a name on an old map and wanted to mention it. A75 (talk) 22:03, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- It is ok for you to add a reply to an archived conversation. It is unlikely that anyone will see it. You can always bring a new question to an appropriate Ref. desk. Philvoids (talk) 16:45, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
