Same username on LifeWiki, I’ve been here for at least 4 months, can I be trusted so that I can Edit This Page: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Michael_Simkin
Just curious how nobody saw this mistake about his “switch engine ping-pong” not being the smallest quadratic growth by now.
Done.
There are quite a few articles in various categories that nobody necessarily thinks to look at when a new discovery shows up. I think the "people pages" in particular tend to not get looked at very often, along with some of the subsidiary "lists of X" that aren't part of the main article on a topic.

Why did you log in on my computer?
@BTS-fan / @Citation needed, please try to keep this kind of one-line communication out of the forums as much as possible. It's better to get this kind of thing sorted out either offline or via private messages -- it's not relevant to anyone else, so no one else should have to see these messages or get notified about them.
With shared credentials it can also be very confusing to figure out which person is actually posting, and what they are trying to do. Please get in the habit of using just one forum account per person -- don't log in with other people's credentials.
We'll probably have to start banning accounts that are being used in confusing ways, or that are producing posts like the example above that are getting reported too often.

It seems that BTS-fan hates me. We're usually active at different times of the day.
Please read my forum signature. Maybe I left cookies on his computer. Yesterday the server signed me out and then signed BTS-fan in all of a sudden.
I don't know which account I should use on the Wiki.

Did you mean that I should just use his account?
I may go and check the schedule again to see if he allows me to do that.
I would say please use your own account. There should be one account for each person. That's what separate accounts are for.
Otherwise, if one of you does something that has to be reverted, and it gets pointed out, and someone says, "Oh, that wasn't me, that was someone else using my account!" -- things quickly get so confusing that we'll have to just go ahead and un-trust the account so that the confusion stops happening.
Did you mean to let me use User:List_of_troll_patterns and change its password? I don't know how to create an account.
The schedule includes completing the polyomino census and the digit census using user page templates, as well as starting the 7x10 Cistercian digit census.
He also asked me to translate the Japanese text.
ColorfulGalaxy created the account User:CurrentNews for me just now. May I use that one?

If you must. That account has been set to trusted, though of course it may get un-trusted very quickly if people use it to make a mess.
It's an awful lot less confusing for everyone if the LifeWiki account name is the same as the forum account name. "Citation needed" is already kind of a confusing name, but a "Citation needed" LifeWiki account would still be a lot better than a "CurrentNews" account.
I.e., why does "CurrentNews" make sense as an account name for you? The CurrentNews template is one of the relatively few pages that you can't edit.
Anyway, I'd suggest making a "Citation needed" account for yourself, not letting anyone else do it for you -- it's really not difficult. And don't share your password.

Thank you. ColorfulGalaxy couldn't log in, but he could still create accounts. On the contrary, I was able to log in, but I can't create accounts.
LifeWiki account name Confocal, can I be trusted? Thanks!

Unlikely events happen.
My silence does not imply agreement, nor indifference. If I disagreed with something in the past, then please do not construe my silence as something that could change that.
May I get a "trusted" flag? I am currently studying rules close to (but not) Life, and I would like to be able to make/edit wiki pages for the more notable ones. (By notable, I mean tlife-type notable.)
