Hey there, I'm RyanCross (talk·contribs), a Wikipedian. I first started contributing to the English Wikipedia during mid February 2008 when I saw that "Log in / create account" link. I wondered, "What would it be like to have an account on Wikipedia, one of the most popular websites in the world?" After creating my account, I was amazed and astonished having known that I can actually edit and change Wikipedia articles, making it visible across the Internet and the world. From there, I decided to stick around Wikipedia. Even today, I'm still contributing to this site, and hope to continue doing so, helping to make this world a better place, one edit at a time.
You can get in touch with me through a number of different methods. My talk page is available to take messages, but please feel free to use e-mail for sensitive issues. Hopefully, I'll be able to respond to your message(s) soon. If not, I'll respond to them when I get to it.
I'm probably one of the nicest editors there is around, and I do like to help people, but please don't harass or provoke me. I won't retaliate, I'll merely revert. That being said, feel free to ask me any questions you have, just be civil, and don't personally attack other editors.
If you have concerns about my editing habits or general behavior, please address them on my talk page. You have my assurance that I have acted in good faith, based on my experiences with article writing and wikipedia policies. I am not out to get anybody, and hold no strong views on large groups of articles, however individually review each article and make independent decisions. If you still have questions regarding my conduct, please feel free to address it.
Below is a list of articles I have created or have significantly contributed to. Articles in italics are articles I have significantly contributed to, but did not create. (For an automated list of articles I created, click here.) Some articles listed below have a certain status(es) such as WP:ITN, WP:DYK, WP:GA, WP:FA, etc. The following key indicates which icon refers to what status:
Edits appear to be good faith. Izno (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
No edits since being warned. Re-report if this user continues vandalising or spamming after sufficient warnings. Daniel Case (talk) 02:18, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Declined. Edits look OK and have drawn neither warnings nor reverts. But someone needs to check them against blocked editors on those articles. Daniel Case (talk) 02:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
User has not been warned, and a lack of edit summaries are insufficient to block on their own. Please warn them for whatever behavior you think is inappropriate sufficiently before re-reporting. Izno (talk) 22:52, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
@Izno: the problem is various IPs popping up and making tens of edits then vanishing, then another IP. Since they're IPs we can't make a connection but this is a serious problem. Just compare 92.16.227.25(talk·contribs·WHOIS)92.17.125.57(talk·contribs·WHOIS). All these IPs have similar interest, Pakistan, Turkey, Balkans. I don't really know what to do. Beshogur (talk) 02:26, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Also you see a pattern. One IP stops, 3 days later another, then he stops, 2 days later the current one. Beshogur (talk) 02:27, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
I suspect that number of pages exceeds what can reasonably done with page protection. That said, this probably should be discussed at WP:ANI as it really is beyond the scope of this noticeboard. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:05, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
Your majesty, it gives me great pleasure to bestow the Triple Crown upon RyanCross for your contributions in the areas of WP:DYK, WP:GA, and WP:FA. Cirt (talk) 23:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
