Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat (at Meta-Wiki only)

Archives (current)→

Meta-Wiki has a small active community. When a normal user requires the assistance of an administrator or bureaucrat for some particular task, it is not always easy to find one. This page helps users find one when they need one; asking specific admins directly via their talk pages is one way to elicit a fast response. It is only for assistance required at Meta-Wiki, help for other wikis needs to be requested at those wikis. Before posting to this page, make sure your comment doesn't belong at one of these specific request pages: Requests for (translation/central notice/interface) adminship on this Meta-Wiki Requests for CheckUser information on this Meta-Wiki Requests for oversight of edits on this Meta-Wiki General requests for permissions on other wikis Requests for CentralNotice banners and campaigns Import is currently enabled in this wiki from some projects. From other wikis, you will need to copy and paste your materials by hand but please remember to add a link, as a permanent link, and the history of the page being imported in the edit summary to avoid copyright violations.

Edits of said user is likely to be machine translations and I'd like to kindly request another admin to go through the remaining edits to determine whether they should be kept --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 11:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to add that said user created pages within seconds of each other and is such editing behaviour is only possible with the aid of translation engines. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 11:36, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

@Minorax: it looks like this user knows a lot of languages (I've seen them doing translations into Tamil, Finnish, Italian, Kinyarwanda, French, Spanish). I have asked for a second opinion on the translations into Tamil. Daniuu (talk) 22:54, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Doing... - some additional checks showed that a significant part of the translations showed rather strong resemblance to the output of Google Translate. I will remove them. Daniuu (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

I've nuked a first batch and will look further tomorrow. Daniuu (talk) 23:53, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

@Minorax: I just nuked a second batch, so this should be fine Done now. Daniuu (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Can someone run through their work, they seems to be using google translate etc, and the pages they created aren't in scope. Currently short term blocked on arwp. Appreciated. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:15, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

I checked a few translation to ee, la, and sw. I confirm that those were most likely from 'Google Translate'. While the user has mentioned on their User page, fa-0 so that I didn't bother myself to check fa translations. Mass deleted onwards and a message on their talk page.
