[edit]The article needed taking much further back, the IP you warned seems to me to have been trying to remove vandalism. DuncanHill (talk) 11:39, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah there was something very wrong with the article, the issue was the IP removed everything beyond the lead for the article, So I reinstated a good portion of it. Cheers for taking the initiative to go one step further. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 11:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looking more closely, I think the IP was doing a mix of adding vandalism and removing it (with bad edit summaries), which makes it very hard to sort out! I'll keep the article on my watchlist. DuncanHill (talk) 11:44, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of M2-XFE
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Battle of M2-XFE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of M2-XFE. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

[edit]
Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Spillover of the Israel–Hamas war, you may be blocked from editing. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- How rude. It was moved to 2023-2024 Middle Eastern Crisis, despite my typo. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 20:45, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

- No, they are discouraged if it involves moving the article to a different title. However, they are two separate topics, and using one as a baseplate to improve the other is allowed to my knowledge. It is by no means intended to replace the Spillover article. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 20:49, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. In that case, please start a WP:SPLIT rather than taken unilateral action, especially given this is a WP:Contentious topic. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Spillover of the Israel–Hamas war a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into 2023-2024 Middle Eastern Crisis. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:44, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
2023-2024 Middle Eastern Crisis moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to 2023-2024 Middle Eastern Crisis. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because WP:CFORK for now. Split discussion is pending so this shouldn't be in mainspace.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:03, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Issues with uncivil behavior
[edit]Recently on the AfD page for Comparisons between Donald Trump and fascism article, I have noticed that my removal of a personal attack has been removed: [1]
It seems to fit the bill of WP:PERSONALATTACK. If removing a personal attack isn't an option, then what should I do? Antitransphobe (talk) 21:14, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry I was aware I was slightly aggressive in my tone in my reversion. If a user makes a personal attack, it is only removable if the person is clearly WP:NOTHERE (i.e a WP:SPA) or the edit is spam. However all personal attacks made by a person will be noted. If a user makes a personal attack and does not retract it, you could bring it up at WP:ANI. Great Mercian actually had a case there that was just archived [2]. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 21:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- I was actually sending an information to Great Mercian about his personal attacks. I have referred myself to these policies and misunderstood them, although I abode by the spirit of the policy when removing his comment. The {{RPA}} template was used once, so I thought about using it. What advice would you give to me when it is warranted to use it? Antitransphobe (talk) 23:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- The editor who had the comment removed had almost zero edits outside the discussion and was shortly thereafter blocked for WP:RGW.
- I pretty much never delete a comment, unless it is from a sockpuppet or vandal eavesdropping in on a discussion with a (truely) outrageous statement. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 11:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
