User rights
Hi, CodeCat! I noticed that you just revoked my rights as autopatroller. If I may ask, what is the reason for this?
I noticed you have been making several edits today that seemed to contain some rather sloppy mistakes. Some examples:
- ergomorphic had an etymology that didn't make any sense.
- Same for curbsider, it has nothing at all to do with sider.
- colopexy has an incorrect IPA pronunciation.
- arithmogram and arithmography link to an invalid entry arith(metic). And I believe the etymology is arithmo- + -gram and arithmo- + -graphy anyway.
- arctogaeal has spaces in the IPA which shouldn't be there. And the etymology should be properly formatted and use the appropriate templates. Greek should be Ancient Greek if that's what it is, and should be written in Greek script.
- allochthon has spaces in the IPA too. There are several more entries where you did this.
- astrionics links to invalid entries astro(o)- and (electr)onics. And it seems the etymology is off too. IPA has spaces in it.
- astrologaster's etymology is wrong, the base word is not astrologer.
- athymia has invalid IPA.
And that's just from your last 50 edits.
I apologize. Is there any possibility for redemption of autopatrolling rights?
Autopatrolling is not a right as such, because it doesn't affect anything a user does. Rather it affects what other users see. It's granted when a user's edits can be trusted to contain no significant number of mistakes, meaning that they no longer need consistent reviewing. I removed autopatrolling for you because the examples above meant that your edits do need reviewing IMO. I could have reviewed and fixed them all myself, but removing autopatrolling would bring it to the attention of other editors as well.
So I would say that it can be activated again if there is some indication that your edits no longer need checking.
