== Careful with rollback == |
|||
I've noticed on a couple of edits, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WWE_%2712&diff=437782598&oldid=437782555] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Voltaire&diff=prev&oldid=437779710] that you might have used rollback on ambiguous or good-faith edits. Most of your other uses of the tool look valid, though, so please be extra careful in the future when using rollback to avoid accidentally using it on good faith edits. If you do find that you've accidentally used rollback when you meant to provide an edit summary, no worries, just be sure to try to make a [[WP:DUMMY|dummy edit]] in order to provide a retroactive edit summary.

Revision as of 20:08, 6 July 2011
Don't sweat the small stuff
This whole thing could just drift into the past. It's not huge. So, an IP's talkpage looks like a user page and it has the word "shit" or something. I cant even remember now. :) Who will ever read it? It exists in a tiny corner of the web. Maybe just be the bigger editor. Forget old foes, make new friends. If you ever need anything, just ask. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:35, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Oh I know but I'm a bit annoyed he claims that I was spamming, hence me about to make a request for a ban as having them break the 3RR rule.
Oh trust me, you'll probably see me asking a million questions in the IRC. :)
Small edit: one second thoughts, look like he's already had a few warnings so hopefully they get an account and we're both happy :) Gorlack36 (talk) 15:40, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm most terribly sorry, I made a mistake. Your edit was perfectly sensible. Apologies. That Ole Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 16:46, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Huh? Where did I attack anyone...? Gorlack36 (talk) 16:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- My thoughts exactly. How is that an attack? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Hehe, don't worry about it. All is forgiven! :)Gorlack36 (talk) 16:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- No sweat. Actually, the offending editor was being quite "un-dude", and has now reemerged as User talk:Christanandjericho. We'll see how that goes rather quickly. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
I saw that myself on the IP's talk page... and now that account is blanking the talk page after been warned. I doubt it'll last long at all. Gorlack36 (talk) 16:54, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oops. Sometimes confessions aren't a good idea. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
I think they were trying to bend the rules. Despite the fact we did try to help them... they basically thought they found a loophole and decided not to wait for the 24 hours. Oh well, hopefully it'll work out completely. 16:57, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
didn't u guys just said if i have an account u guys would be happy? this account was made in like 2010 or early 2011 i forgot anyway check that sock suspect page i explained everything --Vince (talk) 17:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
You've been blocked for 24 hours. Now, yes, you did make an account a long time ago. Had you have kept quiet and not said the account was yours, nobody would have known and you'd have been fine. But because you (as a person, not just your IP) have been blocked and you said on your IP page that you own the account, you're in this mess now. I don't know what will happen; you might get any IPs connected to User talk:27.3.18.100 or Vince permantly blocked from making accounts or nothing might happen; I have never dealt with Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry before. I'm not an admin so I have no idea why you assume I can help you. I did give you good advice on the IP's talk page but you thought you found a quick fix to your 24 hour ban and now this happened. So I really don't know how to help you. Gorlack36 (talk) 17:06, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Gorlack36. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Again, welcome! Island Monkey talk the talk 19:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Careful with rollback
I've noticed on a couple of edits, including [1] and [2] that you might have used rollback on ambiguous or good-faith edits. Most of your other uses of the tool look valid, though, so please be extra careful in the future when using rollback to avoid accidentally using it on good faith edits. If you do find that you've accidentally used rollback when you meant to provide an edit summary, no worries, just be sure to try to make a dummy edit in order to provide a retroactive edit summary.
