Cleanup tag

Hello, I've done some copyediting on the article "Killings of Raju Pargai and Amit Arya" which you placed a {{cleanup}} tag in.

Do you like it? See my edit.

License tagging for File:FranceParkWaterfall.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:FranceParkWaterfall.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

King for you to smash

Please use your giant mallet to smash King Vajiralongkorn of Thailand. He is a really stupid and arrogant man who smells worse than a durian and deserves to be wiped from existence with your giant mallet. 171.6.238.113 (talk) 18:33, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

While I appreciate your opinion, please don't use ask me to assassinate heads of state. I only smash kings in chess :).

Trouted

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Telling off an admin (or even anyone) for reverting an LTA's attack filled comment (diff). – 2804:F1...5C:3635 (talk) 02:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough lol.

I just like to keep a honest and forward facing history of my interactions on Wikipedia, including the annoying ones. Just a personal tick. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 09:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Trouted

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: telling a user that they cannot use vulgar language in their edit summaries. In the future, if you plan to tell someone their conduct is against Wikipedia policies or guidelines, please read them to ensure they apply and link to them in the warning. Wracking ^talk! 16:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought that the rule did apply. My bad for not reading thoroughly. Could you explain why it would not fall under the WP:ESDOS? Genuinely asking. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The term "fuck up" just means mistake. Moreover, the user was referring to their own previous edit as a "fuck up", so I believe most editors would not interpret this as a personal attack or uncivil. And, again, WP:NOTCENSORED—you opposed the edit summary simply because it contained vulgar language. Wracking ^talk! 17:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

That fair enough, but I think that many would find it uncivil, because it's superfluous. It's mostly just unnecessary. Regardless, I should have been more polite. Thanks, and I might ask you for help with stuff like this in the future, if thats ok?

Thanks, Kingsmasher678 (talk) 17:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine with me! Wracking ^talk! 17:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Sweet, I'm only trying to be a good contributor, but I'm new enough to make some mistakes lol. I appreciate it! Kingsmasher678 (talk) 17:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Of course—I find WP:AGF one of the most helpful guidelines here (and irl) Wracking ^talk! 17:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Fr, and that's one I've been known to struggle with. You seem chill and knowledgeable, so I'll probably reach out again!

Patriarca crime family

Hi Kingsmasher678,

Please read references. The correct edit is Carmen S. "The Cheese Man" DiNunzio. All reference identify DiNunzio.

Please see the vandalism by 2600:6c5d:1640:7d:51e:aa12:e7d3:a44d on Revision as of 02:11, August 27, 2024, stated and this unregistered user begins a repeat of vandalism on the article. Please see the history of the article.

Thank you Vic49 (talk) 15:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Sweet, if any editor had at any point used a damn edit summary it would have been fixed. That edit looks crazy without context Kingsmasher678 (talk) 19:18, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

September 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at JD Vance. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please do not become a party in an edit war with unexplained content removal. Drmies (talk) 21:49, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I did put my reasoning on the talk page, but you raise a valid point. Sorry, and won't happen again! Kingsmasher678 (talk) 22:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Sure thing. I saw that post and I appreciate it--it's just that it's much more helpful if you leave an edit summary, even if you just say that you're explaining on the talk page. (As an admin, I'm a huge fan of edit summaries.) Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:03, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh I know. Most of my editing is in anti-vandalism and the amount of "vandalism" that is actually unexplained edits is super high. I just forgot, and that was a bad article to forget on!

Cheers, Kingsmasher678 (talk) 23:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I saw that. Have a look at WP:ROLLBACK, and see if you can use it. Drmies (talk) 01:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

So this is actually a question I've had for a bit. Is there a capability that the permission grants that isn't available though Twinkle?
