Apologies

I would like to to apologize for being so harsh on you. Normally when we patrol through recent changes patrol, and we see edits like that, it seems a bit weird. I apologize for being snippy and harsh. In the meantime, I am going to take a short break from vandalism patrol and work on creating an article instead. All I ask, is that you don't pull up old edits that don't have anything to do with the current issue(s) at hand, and try to stay civil during discussions. Once again, I apologize, and happy editing.

Some friendly advice

Hey there, I was anti-vandalism patrolling when I happened to come across your edits to Issam Fares as well as the ensuing discussion at WP:ANI and at Yoshi24517's talkpage. Just as a heads up for edits that you may make in the future, when you remove a large amount of content at once, as you had done at Issam Fares, the anti-vandal tools that people use flags this as disruptive and comes up in a live feed, known as the edit filter log (see the edit filter log for your IP address here: here). A lot of times, people who normally spend their time anti-vandalism patrolling are quick to revert these edits without reading the edit summaries of those who are making these edits, so misunderstandings about such edits are unfortunately quite common. I've been anti-vandalism patrolling on Wikipedia since 2015, and it is exactly why I've stayed away from using a registered Wikipedia account which gives you access to tools like Twinkle and Huggle (which is what Yoshi24517 was using at the time).

The point in me mentioning all of this to you is that while Yoshi should have read your edit summaries to better understand why you were removing the content on Issam Fares, there really was no ill-intention on their part. They should have stopped and left a non-automated message on your talkpage asking you about the edits in question rather than continuing to leave templated warnings, which really give you no advice other than to tell you to stop editing disruptively.

That all being said, there was really no need for you to be uncivil on their talkpage and dig through their past edits to try to find the 'hypocrisy' in their behavior towards you. That doesn't do anyone any good here, and you're only going to cause more trouble when you go about things in that manner. Anyhow, I just wanted to make sure that you understand why this sort of thing happens and what can be done to prevent it from happening again in the future. Happy editing! :-) 73.67.145.30 (talk) 05:42, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
