| Hello {{u|Arjayay}}. I appreciate the extensive and helpful work you do on Misplaced Pages, but I'm concerned about how you are using rollback.

| For example, I noticed a {{diff2|1266924364|rollback}} on ] that was inappropriate for rollback. I then reviewed your five most recent rollbacks, and while your edits are appropriate, you're using rollback too broadly and too often without an explanation: | |||
| * {{diff2|1268238755}}: While this is clearly a bad edit, the edit history for {{ip|2A02:2F0C:C00A:6200::/64}} doesn't indicate a vandalism-only editor and some explanation is warranted. | |||
| * {{diff2|1268238571}}: The misleading edit summary and unsourced change clearly warrant a warning. (I ''might'' have used rollback here, but with a warning.) | |||
| * {{diff2|1268238439}}: This isn't obvious vandalism and needs to be explained. A warning for making unsourced edits would be appropriate as well. | |||
| * {{diff2|1268236577}}: This appears to be a good faith edit and undoing it needs to be explained. | |||
| * {{diff2|1268238306}}: I'm on the fence between vandalism and unsourced edit here, but it's not so obviously vandalism that I would do it without an explanation. (I ''might'' have used rollback here as well, but with a warning.) | |||

E-mails
You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.
Broadcasted
The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Misplaced Pages:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B
Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Misplaced Pages tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".
A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.

The Special Barnstar |
| Happy New Year, Arjayay! In 2024, other editors thanked you 2390 times using the thanks tool on the English Misplaced Pages. This made you the #1 most thanked Wikipedian in 2024. Congratulations and, well, thank you for all that you do for Misplaced Pages. Here's to 2025! Mz7 (talk) 19:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC) |
- that's awesome. well done, @Arjayay!! Sm8900 (talk) 20:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks Mz7, and Sm8900 - That's actually the third time I have topped the list - does that disqualify me in the future? or do I get to keep it forever, like some sporting trophies?.
I remind myself of these when someone is telling me I am "the most hated editor on Misplaced Pages", or similar phrases, usually because I am reverting their deliberate errors or self-promotion.
Thanks again - and here's to next year ! - Arjayay (talk) 15:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)- Not only were you first; you were the Wayne Gretzky of thanks - the #2 person wasn't even close! Congrats. Diannaa (talk) 23:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you not change my edit? It's correct.

Rollback
Hello Arjayay. I appreciate the extensive and helpful work you do on Misplaced Pages, but I'm concerned about how you are using rollback. There are many instances where you are using rollback without providing any explanation (either in edit summaries or on user talk pages) in situations that are not obvious vandalism
or another case listed at WP:ROLLBACKUSE.
For example, I noticed a rollback on Darts that was inappropriate for rollback. I then reviewed your five most recent rollbacks, and while your edits are appropriate, you're using rollback too broadly and too often without an explanation:
- : While this is clearly a bad edit, the edit history for 2A02:2F0C:C00A:6200::/64 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) doesn't indicate a vandalism-only editor and some explanation is warranted.
- : The misleading edit summary and unsourced change clearly warrant a warning. (I might have used rollback here, but with a warning.)
- : This isn't obvious vandalism and needs to be explained. A warning for making unsourced edits would be appropriate as well.
- : This appears to be a good faith edit and undoing it needs to be explained.
- : I'm on the fence between vandalism and unsourced edit here, but it's not so obviously vandalism that I would do it without an explanation. (I might have used rollback here as well, but with a warning.)
Please try to use rollback in a way that is consistent with WP:ROLLBACK going forward. Also, warning disruptive editors about policies and guidelines more often would benefit the project. Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
