| Hello, | |||
| The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||
| You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. | |||
| The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] . | |||
| Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns. | |||
| Kind Regards, | |||

| Hello, Thank you for looking into the report I made about user 'Zombie girl509' reverting an edit made to Melissa McBride's Misplaced Pages page. | |||
| Please can I ask why I am receiving a warning? I cited reliable sources to prove that the information I edited is accurate, and I provided explanations for this edit. Zombie girl509 has been reverting this with no explanation as to why, even after I reached out to communicate about it. I have been trying to provide accurate information while it seems to me that Zombie girl509 has been reverting this with malicious intent. I reached out on Zombie girl509's 'Talk' page and I posted on the article talk page about the edit, but I received no response. If there's something else I should have done, please let me know. ] (]) 16:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC) | |||
| :It appears you have reverted about four times since October 12. If my count is correct then your behavior can be described as long-term edit warring. So it is not just the other party who is at fault. You did the right thing by opening a talk page discussion. Usually, when there is a complaint of edit warring the admins only look at who is continuing to revert, unless the thing being reverted is blatant vandalism or misinformation. So being right is not a defence here. Let's see what ] does next. Be careful about phrases like 'malicious intent' since they don't seem to be trying to make the article worse. They could be sincere in thinking their version is better. ] (]) 17:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::Thank you for your response. I appreciate and understand your explanation. | |||
| ::Thank you for your advice about the phrase 'malicious intent'. My concern stems from cultural context, which is external discourse surrounding Melissa McBride's role in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which is the subject of this edit. The context is that despite the fact that her part is widely described as 'Lead role' and that she is an Executive Producer, a minority of social media users have been known to express hateful discourse about her and the character she plays in this programme. This includes attempts to downplay her role. These specific edit reversions seem, to me, to align with the behaviour that is seen on other platforms. I do believe that removing 'Executive Producer' and changing 'Lead role' to 'Main cast' is misinformation, especially as I have cited sources that prove the information in my edit to be accurate. But I appreciate that this may be a coincidence and that this specific user may be sincere. ] (]) 17:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC) | |||

Following their reversion, the information now on the page has removed and changed the correct information, which is proved by the two sources that are cited. Since the other user is not engaging in discussion to reach consensus and is continuing to revert the edit, despite the information I added being proved by the cited sources, please can you advise how to proceed?

| ::::You seem to be confused. You did ''not'' add any references to the article. Get your story straight. Of course Francisco Menéndez was considered Spanish. It's confusing to readers to say he was "Spanish Mandinga" without clarification, which an actual source would provide. And really, by now surely you know that we capitalize the word "Spanish" in English, but you persist in not capitalizing it. ] (]) 06:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: presents Spanish in uppercase letters, which is noteworthy. Moreover, it should be emphasised that this matter does not pertain to the ongoing discourse. It is imperative that Spanish be articulated with precision in those sentences, as this practice mitigates the risk of misidentification. ] (]) 09:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

Update regarding Topic-Ban Observance
I once again momentarily forgot about my lede image ban and reverted a change to a picture I had uploaded as the lede image for Hideki Tojo. It literally occurred to me at the last moment before making said revert that what I was about to do might violate my topic ban. However, by the time it fully registered, the change had already been made. I have since reverted said change. While I am inclined to ask you to show leniency, I realize I asked you to dismiss a similar occurence around a month ago so I will leave it to your discretion regarding whether further sanctions are warranted.
