Hello, my name is The4lines. I'm a Wikipedia Administrator who focuses on cleaning up copyright issues and plagiarism around Wikipedia. You can typically find me helping out at CCI or Copyright Problems. I also occasionally clean up vandalism, review new pages, and review new drafts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything on my talk page.
Thanks for taking care of the Indic Scripts added by that disruptive IP.

On behalf of the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy, congratulations! You have successfully completed all assignments and have now graduated from the Academy. You completed your final exam with a score of 88.5% – well done! It's been a pleasure to work with you over the past month.

Even though it didn't pan out as we would have hoped, I wanted to let you know that I appreciated both your willingness to mentor Galendalia when they were running into trouble, and the quality of advice you offered them. Here's a cupcake to counter any bitter aspects of the experience. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 14:57, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

For your work at CCI
We'll get Werldwayd finished someday- but until then, here is a 1976 United States stamp in honour of all your work at CCI, and the two cases we've closed together. Though I may not understand how you survive in those temperatures, seeing this made me thing of you. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 09:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
I'm coming to the last 18 months or so of the backlog I've been working through and I was thinking of all the questions I'd like to ask you when I can take more time with each report and really learn. I wanted to try to get a picture of what you've been doing so I can be considerate of your burden. I looked at what you've been doing today. And... well... have a beer! On me! It's a reminder that not everyone is a Problem Child. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 03:07, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

The admin baton!
Congratulations! And now, per "ancient tradition", it is my great pleasure to pass on this baton to you. Tamzin gave it to DanCherek, who passed it along from admin to admin until Chaotic Enby gave it to me earlier today. Your work dealing with copyright violations is much appreciated, and with more than 350 editors voting for you (and the least opposition of the eight candidates who ran!), it shows.
Becoming an administrator can be a bit overwhelming, so I'll pass on the advice that Chaotic gave me with the baton: we have a pretty helpful guide, but the true secret is to be unafraid to ask others for help and guidance. You'll suddenly get so many new buttons, and it's okay to not know what each and every one of them does right off the bat. On your first days, you can start with areas you feel most confident in: there is no pressure to use the tools everywhere at once, or even to use them immediately at all!
Savor the moment of having passed the adminship election, and congratulations once again. Epicgenius (talk) 20:32, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
The axe of responsibility
Shiny new tools might be used to mete out justice, mercy or a dose of reality. Let us commit to not losing our cool when using them. Our only armor is the entire community's trust. We wear it for each other, each new contributor, and each new generation to come. May you ever be the community's champion. BusterD (talk) 15:15, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
