[05:05:37] my telegram fu or my permissions here are not good enough to figure out how to let @Tesleemat speak. help? telegram automatically marked as spam yesterday, I already reported as false positive. [05:10:14] @Tesleemat Try @SpamBot [05:11:46] for me says Good news, no limits are currently applied to your account. You’re free as a bird! let's see what @Tesleemat says [05:15:29] Can she message non-contacts [05:15:57] I wasn't a contact so I guess yes (re @cvictorovich: Can she message non-contacts) [05:20:00] already did yesterday, waiting for response from a human still. (re @cvictorovich: @Tesleemat Try @SpamBot) [06:27:38] Looks like you limited that person somewhere in 2022. I’ll remove the limitation.

[14:26:21] good [14:27:43] Although one of the ops could do with banning that IP, it's not the first time it's been in from that IP.

[14:35:41] I'd strongly caution against quoting the spam in your messages; we don't want the bridge to be treated as a spammer by the bots [17:07:13] @giovi_pen so this means don't "reply" to the spam. if you think it will be ambiguous which message you're talking about you can "copy link" and use that.

[17:24:07] Is there a test instance of Wikisource available for training purposes? I understand that it's possible to practice on the main instance, but I’m curious if a dedicated testing environment exists. If so, could you please share the link? [17:25:53] I don't remember that and I see messages here from that person Sept 8 this year. so not limited at that point. [17:25:54] they say they don't have a problem in other groups. they asked @spambot again and got same message again. [17:25:55] any more ideas? @jhsoby @cvictorovich (re @siebrand: Looks like you limited that person somewhere in 2022. I’ll remove the limitation.)

(re @gopavasanth: Is there a test instance of Wikisource available for training purposes? I understand that it's possible to practice on the main ...) [17:27:06] I am not sure if Test Wikipedia has Wikisource extensions (like ProofreadPage) [17:28:34] The purpose is to guide others by providing demos and allowing them to gain hands-on experience with the contribution process. [17:29:04] Wikipedia does those things on Wikipedia [17:29:40] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure [17:29:50] Just wondering if we have one such test instance with Wikisource Extension, its completly fine if we don't have one already. [17:33:24] this is what @Tesleemat has been trying to say: [17:33:26] OK so I have some questions about the scholarship and hackathons generally [17:33:27] I work on html and css off wiki but I have not used codes a lot of times onwiki except some special editing tools like twinkles, page curation tool, AFDs etc on English Wikipedia [17:33:28] 1. Am I eligible to still apply for the scholarship? [17:33:30] 2. Also, I don't seem to have prior knowledge of the codes used onwiki (mostly C++, python I guess). How do I do something with the phabricator, I have an account already but I'm yet to figure out how it works. Also I'm on the newbie hackathon group but there has not been much activity there. Maybe a guide or some training sessions will help (re @deb_t: [17:33:30] Registration for the 2025 [17:33:31] Wikimedia Hackathon - May 2nd to May 4th, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey - is now open, let us know if you w...)

[17:36:04] @gopavasanth: https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix is the full set of testing wikis in the "beta cluster" project. I don't know the state of maintenance and activity on the https://en.wikisource.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page instance, but it exists. [17:36:37] @cvictorovich: your unsolicited opinion has been noted. thanks. [17:36:58] Just kidding. [17:37:48] My idea is she has been blocked in some ways in this chat room (re @jeremy_b: I don't remember that and I see messages here from that person Sept 8 this year. so not limited at that point.

[17:38:41] She can message me whilst I’m not in her contacts [17:38:50] but when I examine the permissions for Tesleemah they are the same as any ordinary user.

[17:39:42] I wonder what's supposed to happen when I hit false positive option and does it actually work. (re @jeremy_b: my telegram fu or my permissions here are not good enough to figure out how to let @Tesleemat speak. help? telegram automaticall...) [17:40:07] Nowhere else restricted her [17:40:23] yes I said that :-) [17:41:19] Did she get any sort of restrictions on her account before? Only she knows [17:41:36] The @spambot asks this [17:42:01] There have been a number of people who have had some anti-spam or anohter stop them from posting in this Telegram chat over the last 1-2 years. I have never found the "extra" protection enable/disable switch in the Telegram UI that would stop this. [17:42:20] It’s private for her. We have no ways to ask. Asking is inappropriate [17:43:15] My senes making is that one of the Telegram admins enabled some stricter posting protections a couple of years ago when we were getting a lot of NFT spam. [17:43:44] According to her statements, she wasn’t restricted anywhere before. This is the first time she got restricted ever. [17:44:04] (Got it from direct message [17:44:08] test2wiki has ProofreadPage installed FWIW (re @gopavasanth: Is there a test instance of Wikisource available for training purposes?

[22:23:43] I don't think so (re @deb_t: Hi - just seeing this chat — has anyone responded to Tesleemat yet about their question regarding a scholarship to the hackathon...)
