Whales

Yum! Delicious!

Your whale used to squish your Wikipedian has been sliced and served as some Japanese sashimi.
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that, like the whale in the picture, you overuse your {{whale}}.

In general, {{whale}}'ings should only be given to people that you are actually collaborating with, or whose "error" you have fixed up. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:14, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

RIP Whales

Don't delete my whales, instead please just ((Whalemeat)) me Oh...

What was your other account?

I can help you find it and maybe restore it. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

It was this account, but I logged in and suddenly my User Page was... Gone. There was hardly anything on it, so not much of a problem and the few edits I had made weren't that big. But the circumstances were odd.(ScRiptED (talk) 15:12, 26 May 2018 (UTC))

Looking at the page history, I'm only seeing two edits by you, one in February and one in March.

Looking for any deletion logs for that page, I'm not seeing any record of deletion. Same when I look at your log of deleted edits. Since I'm an administrator, the only reasons why I would not see that information is either:

• the deletions were by the Oversight team, which would indicate that the content of the page presented serious legal problems to Wikipedia.
• there were no deletions (perhaps the page failed to save properly? That happens for some users).
• the deleted edits were made under a different page title under a different account.

Yes point 2 seems somewhat likely. But it wasn't just empty it had been turned into a redlink. So it may have been a troll hacker...(ScRiptED (talk) 15:24, 26 May 2018 (UTC))

Failure to save is plausible, troll hacker is not. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
