Vandal

Were you really a Vandal? Wow!49.178.203.107 (talk) 12:44, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

@49.178.203.107: Yep. :D Helen(💬📖) 19:03, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Ah. You're reformed now. :) 49.178.203.107 (talk) 19:20, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Nah, I can't believe it! I came across one of your edits on an old draft I was looking at and I was wondering how you were doing. An ex-vandal, huh? Well, I'll be gentler with the ones I meet, knowing now that they can turn around and become productive contributors! Liz Read! Talk! 23:16, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

A random brownie for you!

Hello! I came across one of your anti-vandalism edits on my watchlist and noticed you had rollback rights! Curious as to what a rollback is like, I visited your userpage.

First, it's hard to imagine you were ever a vandal. Gives me hope for humans and reform, which I've always been a proponent of. :)

Second, nice userboxes! I'm a member of the userbox Wikiproject (at least before my long leave) and have made a couple, so it's always nice to see them. I have many on my own page, but since I placed them when I was still young and inexperienced they're cluttered.

Third, wow have you made lots of edits in 8 months! I'm still at Apprentice 2; kind of makes me jealous. XD. Anyway, keep up the good work, and wish you luck!

P.S. Your userboxes inform me you eat chocolate, so have a brownie!

You warned them for an edit to Milo Ventimiglia, but they've never made any edits, deleted or otherwise. Might want to clean that up ;) Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:27, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

@Dennis Brown: Check their edit filter log. They made a series of attempts to vandalise the page; that's what I warned them for. Helen(💬📖) 01:28, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Well, I'll be. I normally don't search logs (and I've been here 15+ years), usually isn't a need. I do a lot of behavioral issues, but that is always in diffs. Not sure if you can see what is in the logs, but it was bad enough that he just needed to be indef blocked, which I did. Thanks for being prompt. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:31, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi

I did not make the edits you just removed from Oley Larsen's page. Last night I fixed typos on misspelled words. If you look at the edit history you can see I did not make the edit that you deleted. Pixienoire (talk) 20:45, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Message from Dave

Hello — I think you sent me something in error. I have never edited anything in Wikipedia. Thanks, Dave — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.139.197.159 (talk) 19:32, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@72.139.197.159: Hi Dave, I fully understand your confusion. What happens is, if you use Wikipedia without an account, your IP address is used to identify you instead. Sometimes IP addresses are dynamic, meaning that they are used by different people over a period of time; as a result, you may see messages on your talk page that are intended for other people who have used the IP in the past. You didn’t do anything wrong. Helen(💬📖) 20:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

@205.118.120.152 I appreciate your offer, but I must decline: 1) Yes, I have created a few articles; however, I don’t own them, and because of this, cannot technically sell them to you. 2) I don’t accept payment for the edits I make. Doing so would require me to disclose the employer on my user page and I didn’t create my account to make such contributions-- I’m solely a volunteer. Thanks for asking, and if you have any more questions about editing, don't hesitate to reach out. Helen(💬📖) 18:01, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lou Bastien.

A tag has been placed on Lou Bastien. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

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.
