Revocation of rights
Hello, I am revoking your rights here for the following reasons:
- You have been adding machine and AI translations here. The examples are at Translations:Mailing lists/Overview/534/st in a language that you do not speak or understand and also your very recent Hindi translations which even have some very basic errors in them.
- SM7 had also advised you at Hindi Wikiversity against adding machine-translated content.
- On a crosswiki level also there have been concerns and signs of untrustworthyness for you (including your various bans (1, 2, 3) that were lifted about 1-2 months ago): you have made various requests that are hatcollect-y at such as administrator permissions on projects you are less active or experienced such as Steward_requests/Permissions/2024-07#Cactusisme@bugwiki and Steward_requests/Permissions/2025-02#Cactusisme@hi.wikiversity
- There is also the recently rejected VRT request and the redirect autopatrol request.
- On a personal level, I have taken note of some of your low-effort responses to questions or explanations asked from you (examples: w:User_talk:Cactusisme#You_declined_a_redirect,_asking_for_a_source_.._but_.., simple:User_talk:Cactusisme/Archive_4#Revert on simplewiki).
These is all, in summary, a bad form for an autopatroller (as your edits still potentially need checking), let alone a patroller, so I think it is too premature for you to have these rights here and your edits could need manual checking. Svārtava (tɕ)
- @Svartava Thanks for your advice. I will try my best not to repeat these mistakes. Can you correct this link? this Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Regarding your first point, I was trying to revert a vandalism, but I didn't know how to change the page since it is a translation without blanking it so I did the edit. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Regarding your second point, I have since then made little to no machine translations there and instead improved current articles in the way of simplifying them. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Your extremely recent Hindi translations here on Meta were machine translations. I've mentioned this already. Svārtava (tɕ)
- Reagrding your third point, I do not see how blocks that were lifted affects my thrustworthiness in any way as I have learnt from my mistakes and have not repeated them, so your point isn't valid. The bugwiki link is also a long time ago and hatcollecting refers to when I requeasted for advanced rights in a short period of time, example you? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Not all just some which were complicated. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Which were minor Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- I don't think that excuses you from the concern. You published error-containing machine translations here which itself is unbecoming of an (auto)patroller here. There is also User_talk:Cactusisme/2025#Please_stop which contributes to demonstrating that there are gaps in your understanding of this project.
- Hatcollecting applies to all kind of rights, including smaller ones, which is why the rejected VRT and redirect autopatrol requests are relevant. I tried to list as many permission requests of yours to show the continuing pattern of right requests and failed outcomes.
- Regarding w:User_talk:Cactusisme#You_declined_a_redirect,_asking_for_a_source_.._but_.. here, I find Please submit a new request bit of a bureaucracy-minded reply instead of one that aims to discuss the underlying issue. This is especially noteworthy because I could see the same with the other linked discussion, where it is pretty indefensible.
- Finally, there is no objectivity in being fit for the rights and it depends on analysis and discretion. I was not aware of all these issues earlier, or else I would have showed my opposition at your patroller request which may have impacted the granting admin's decision to do so. Also, per your recent errors I pointed out, I believe there is sufficient reason to revoke your rights and after being familiar with the issues, I would definitely be opposed to a restoration for now. If you feel your case is strong enough, you can always rerequest the rights at RFH to possibly get the opinions of some other admins. Svārtava (tɕ)

- Regarding your first point, I was trying to revert a vandalism, but I didn't know how to change the page since it is a translation without blanking it so I did the edit. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Regarding your last point, one of them is broken, the first link links to a recent conversation with an ip regarding a redirect issue, Zioness. If you look deeper into the conversation, you may realise I had accepted another redirect, The Zioness. Thus, I felt the other one is not sufficient. However, Since the Ip requested again, I would be taking a deeper look before accepting, and also I wanted to know the reason why the Ip wanted the redirect to make sure the ip is not a advertiser.

Reason?
Could you please include reationales when requesting deletions? For example, you didn't provide any here: ur:Special:Diff/6680826. signed, Aafi (talk)
- @Aafi That was due to the page not being notable, the reason is stated there? Cactus🌵 spiky ouch

Translation page
What do you think of this? User:Cactusisme/Simple Administrators Cactus spiky ouch
- I don't get involved with translations, sorry. //shb (t • c)
- @Cactusisme, a translation admin here. if you are looking to learn how to be a translation administrator (TA), there are some stuff to follow. What you did was a start, but there is still some way to go. In addition to the Translate extension’s guidelines about marking a page for translation:, on Meta here as well there is also Meta:Internationalization guidelines.
- In your work above, there are stuff that you don't need to do, i.e. putting that <!-- T1 --> tags as this will be generated automatically by the extension when a TA marks the page for translation. This is important as you do not want old translated strings to appear out of place. There are some other issues as well in your work, i.e. placement of <translate>, etc.
- Here's the diff of a page that I recently tagged up which you can take as reference, and the next revision after all that work is what the extension does when I mark the page for translation. Robertsky (talk)
- Oh, I see. Thanks Cactus spiky ouch
- @Robertsky I made some changes, can you take a look? Cactus spiky ouch
- @Robertsky also created User:Cactusisme/Simple English Wikipedia Cactus spiky ouch
- @Cactusisme again, please read the internationalisation guidelines. i have corrected some of the stuff there. also please make that for each paragraph or separate line item, the tvar names are unique. for formatnum, you can wrap it in a tvar. Robertsky (talk)
- @Robertsky also created User:Cactusisme/Simple English Wikipedia Cactus spiky ouch
- @Robertsky I made some changes, can you take a look? Cactus spiky ouch
- Oh, I see. Thanks Cactus spiky ouch

Hỏi
Hình như là bạn có thể nói được tiếng Việt. Tôi thấy bạn ghi như vậy ở trang cá nhân. – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B)
- Tôi có thể nói được ngôn ngữ đó. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- Ở mức như thế nào? Nếu bạn nói “Tôi không biết nữa” và “Tôi chẳng biết nữa” thì khác nhau chỗ nào? Câu nào nghe buồn hơn? – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B)
- Về mặt cảm xúc, “Tôi không biết nữa” và “Tôi chẳng biết nữa” đều cho thấy người nói đang không chắc chắn hoặc cảm thấy bất lực. Tuy nhiên, “Tôi chẳng biết nữa” nghe buồn hơn vì từ “chẳng” thường mang cảm giác tiêu cực, như kiểu chán nản hay buông xuôi. Còn “Tôi không biết nữa” thì nhẹ nhàng và trung tính hơn, giống như người nói đang phân vân hoặc rối trí, chứ chưa hẳn là hết hy vọng. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch
- tại sao bạn lại hỏi tôi tất cả những điều này Cactus🌵 spiky ouch

U4C elections questions
Hello, just a note that I've struck one of your questions (to a direct candidate), as the rules only allow for two questions to candidates - this could be some combo of one to all and one to each individually, two to all or two to each individually. It was a fine question, but just trying to consistently apply the rules. Thanks – Ajraddatz (talk)
