I don't even know the "accused" guy or the guy that putted my in that list, why do you keep reverting my edit? Semikon06 (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Semikon06: let me check well. -Alabama- (talk) 19:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Check but it's better if you not make such speedy consensus next time (not saying this ironically, but as a matter of fact since the other user kept reverting to their preferred version of page Andromache (singer) with the IP user ending being blocked while trying to keep a version agreed by the majority as you can see from previous edits on history. Semikon06 (talk) 19:48, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Semikon06: Hello, first of all, don't delete messages or whitewash your talk page, like you did here. Please undo your edit or I will.
If they wrote your name here, it's because Binksternet suspects that you are IP 77.69.54.143 or another user. Even if you are not related (or at least you think so) do not delete the messages, they are kept as a historical record. Please don't do it again. -Alabama- (talk) 19:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Okay, but still no mention of the reference of mine on the aforementioned article. Semikon06 (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Semikon06: That does not merit you to delete the report that Binksternet made against you. After all, a CheckUser will investigate whether or not you are that other user. Please keep calm. -Alabama- (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Didn't say you abstain from undoing it, the only thing I asked for is investigating the aforementioned case as well. Semikon06 (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm sorry, but I'm not a CheckUser or administrator, so I can't do what you're asking. The only thing I take care of is the maintenance of Wikipedia, from where I saw your edits, which were incorrect. -Alabama- (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Alabama, just to let you know that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Infinityplex is also vandalising the other page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Australia I have undone the changes three times as it is not relevant to the page.

Rollback

edit
 

Hi -Alabama-. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 03:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Billy Bragg

edit

When Billy Bragg's page was vandalised calling him cis, it was because he's a trans ally: https://twitter.com/billybragg/status/1537403855822012419 . It was transphobic vandalism rather than an editing test. Further proof of this can be found in the user's other edits - which nearly only consists of transphobic vandalism - including comparing trans people to Nazis even though we were persecuted and killed in the Holocaust. 92.21.223.3 (talk) 04:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

To answer your question[1] that is what I usually refer to as "fat fingers". When editing from a mobile device it is very easy to accidently hit a button and unintentionally insert markup at the top of the page. I've done it too many times, but it wasn't me this time, I double checked.[2] Thanks for the fix. -- 109.79.70.185 (talk) 01:47, 17 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Wikipedia. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you. PEPSI697 (💬📝) 00:10, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I do too many rollbacks per day, including today, so I don't know which one you are referring to. If I didn't remove everything necessary, then you do it. Patrolling recent changes is a team effort. Cysquatch (talk) 00:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not trying to make personal attacks towards you and never intend to make personal attacks towards any contributor. What I'm trying to tell you was that there was more than one user patrolling recent changes and you weren't the only one and to just suggest that you revert a few and other contributors revert a few, also to note it was done a few seconds after the revision you reverted was made. I didn't do it because I think you did bad, you didn't do bad at all. I think you're doing a good job reverting bad faith edits. You can be a little bit civil but please also note that I have ASD, so be mostly friendly and nice towards others rather than be offended towards other users. Thanks, PEPSI697 (💬📝) 01:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I wasn’t offended, and you didn’t do anything wrong. I just responded based on what little I understood. I apologize for any misunderstanding. Cysquatch (talk) 02:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
