Add 2023 Titan Submarine Victim Vandalism.

Not done: Unless I'm missing something I don't believe that the vandalism there was particularly notable or attracted any significant media attention. Vandalism is an extremely common event on Wikipedia - this isn't supposed to be an exhaustive list. Tollens (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Willy from the examples

Their vandalism was 20 years ago, and they were just one vandal out of the hundreds of vandals listed on WP:LTA, they don't even have an LTA page anymore. For the sake of WP:DENY and avoiding trivializing the seriousness of vandalism the mention should be removed and the redirects to it deleted. In fact this whole page needs to be revised to stop giving WP:BEANS to vandals. 77.103.193.166 (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous

the image doesn't seem very helpful, as the "current" revision shown, of joshua suggesting speedy i mean quick deletion, could be misinterpreted as another piece of vandalism

and the purple links and search at the top bother me on a spiritual level, but that's besides the point cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 23:50, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Per Cogsan above. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rm Misc?

The collection of examples seems to be more WP:TRIVIA than anything. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 15:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concur - not sure what value this section adds. Are the list items notable? Seems like we’re not adhering to WP:CSC — Safety Cap (talk) 18:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update my name in the article

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Specific text to be added or removed: Replace "Cobi Carter" with "Naomi Amethyst"
Reason for the change: I no longer use the name Cobi Carter, so it should be updated per MOS:DEADNAME

ClueBot NG

Should ClueBot NG's user page be linked in its section? Fairly new to editing, and haven't really done so in years. korbo (talk) 20:09, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
