===Speedy deletion of ]===
] A tag has been placed on ] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under ], because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see ] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on ] subjects and should provide references to ] that ] their content.


=== ] at ] ===
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of ]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ''']''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact ] to request that they ] the article or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontent-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> ] (]) 07:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

== January 2009 ==
: {{Re|Deepfriedokra}} Thank you for the message. I will start off by saying that I don't claim to be perfect, and mistakes certainly happen.
:* Diffs 1 and 6 were already answered by other users.
:* Diff 2 was a mistake that I did not catch.
:* Diff 3 was in violation of ] a common word. This disruption has been a long-term problem in slow-motion from various IPs since at least September 2020, unless I missed something in the article history. I will going to ] the next time it happens. It wasn't happening frequently enough that I didn't know if a request at WP:RFPP would have been approved, but it's getting old and will be going there next time.
:* Diff 4 introduced cast and characters that were not recurring, with the exception of Iggy and Young Alisha. Non-main cast and characters with a credit of guest star or higher need a minimum of five appearances to be considered recurring.
:* Diffs 5, 9, and 10 introduced category/template bloat.
:* Diff 7 broke code formatting, which is often ] that people do.
:* Diff 8 introduced unsourced content.
:* Diff 11 was a partial mistake, as the edit did introduce problems, so it was roughly 50% bad. This is also another area of sneaky vandalism, as people often make up or guess what characters' full names are, which is in-universe ], unless there's a reliable primary or secondary source, such as the credits (primary).
:* Diff 12 introduced a sentence fragment, as well as intentionally breaking the formatting with that line break, despite the user claiming they were correcting grammar.
:* Diff 13 violates ].
:* Diff 14 introduced unnecessary sourcing. The series' credits serve as the primary source. Once an episode airs, a source is no longer required since the episode itself serves as the source. For example, if a secondary source says John Smith as The Great Apple will appear, once that episode airs, the secondary source is no longer required, since the actor and who they portray will be listed in the primary source—the credits.


: Having said all that, I don't appreciate a random user who I don't know stalking my edits and trying to cause trouble by blowing a potentially small problem out of proportion, especially a user who not only has ''far'' less edits than I do, but has also been around for ''far'' less time than I have. 14 edits out of my almost 90,000 edits overall or out of my almost 1,500 edits for 2024 that are potentially a problem don't show a pattern; otherwise, this would have been raised long ago. Unless I'm going around making severe personal attacks that require immediate attention, which I am not, they need to find something better to do with their time than to follow me around just to look for me to mess up. I'm only human, I'm not a robot. This isn't your fault, of course, and I do appreciate the message once again. ''']''' • 03:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

::Hi Amaury, I don't think anyone is saying these reverts were all wrong, so no one is asking for a long justification for each of them. They are saying (and I am too) that the edits you reverted were, with 2 exceptions, good faith edits, certainly not obvious vandalism, and so they needed more than an unexplained rollback. This is not 14 edits out of 90,000 (nor 1,500), it is 12 edits out of the 57 edits you made between 12/21 and 12/30. As I said at AARV, all that is needed is a recalibration of your "obvious problem edit/bad faith edit” criterion. But that recalibration is needed, or else someone is going to remove your rollback permission. It doesn't need to be a big deal, but it does need addressing. Nobody is asking you to be perfect; all we're asking is that you take feedback onboard. Indeed, it looks to me like starting on the 31st, you did stop unexplained rollbacks. A simple "ok, my bad, some of those times I shouldn't have used rollback, and I've started explaining the reverts" would have nipped this in the bud. ] (]) 15:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Understood. ^^ - ] (]) 02:12, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
::: {{Re|Floquenbeam}} Thank you for the message. I could and should have clarified more, but the whole "my bad" is basically what I was at least trying to get across with my not being perfect and make mistakes comment. While I can admit that what was construed as ] by another user wasn't the best of arguments, I still personally feel that the rest of the point I was trying to make is valid. AP was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and it's pretty clear that they were following me around just looking for me to mess up just so they could have their five minutes of fame and make a report, at least in my opinion. Why so quick to go to a noticeboard to look for possible sanctions after only one message on my talk page? Then to start out with the whole "I don't like that it had to come to this, but..." just sends the wrong vibes. I don't mean for this to sound like I'm whining, because I'm not trying to, that's just what it felt like to me.
:No problems, the nice thing about wikipedia is there's always someone looking over your shoulder. It's also the annoying thing about wikipedia once in a while, but on the whole it means ] as you were is the right thing to do. Happy editing! --]] 02:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
::I know. Every one click I do on "Recent changes" I see a whole new page of edits... whereas with other wikis like PSUPedia only one or two edits are made when I click "Recent chnages" unless they're updating several articles, which only lasts for a minute or so. XD - ] (]) 02:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


::: I do see the point you're making about looking at the edits between December 21 and December 31, but I feel it's also important to look at my edits as a whole. That's the point I was trying to make, in which more often than not, I do use edit summaries for reverts like the highlighted ones in this report. If only looking at the edits between those two dates, it makes it look bad for me, as if I'm always that way. One final point is that I wasn't ignoring AP, I just don't edit Misplaced Pages as much as I used to, as seen by my edit statistics on my user page and the long time it took to update them and my talk page archives. (The really high edit counts are when I was regularly fighting vandalism.) It's a combination of being busy in real life and just not currently having heavy interest here, so I'll normally only get on for a bit and revert any problematic edits I see. If I see I have a message, I skim it and end up forgetting about it. I can be more careful moving forward, but I also don't want to feel like I have to walk on eggshells in fear of, so to speak, AP reporting me again. ''']''' • 20:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

===Tweenies===
I hate to pile on, but this is something that you should know for future reference, and this says it better than I can:

] In a recent edit{{#if:Tweenies|&nbsp;to the page ]}}, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Misplaced Pages has readers from all over the world, our policy is to ] in Misplaced Pages articles.

For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the ''original'' author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Misplaced Pages articles are written can be found in the ]. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the ]. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <!-- Template:uw-lang --> <span style="font-family:Cooper Black;color:#000;font-size:14px">]&nbsp;<sup>]</sup>/<small>]</small></span> 18:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

===Final warning!===

Hello Eugene Krabs. If you keep moving articles without getting support from other editors to do so, you may be '''blocked''' from editing Misplaced Pages. These inappropriate moves create a '''mess''' that may have to be cleaned up by administrators, due to the way that moves work on Misplaced Pages. It is not smart to make the administrators mad. ] (]) 19:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

===A few words of (unsolicited) advice===

Hello. I'm sorry to see that you have been blocked <s>again</s>, because I know that you mean well; however, before you go through making changes across different articles, you should first make sure that what you are doing is correct. I would strongly advise you to take this time to go over a few of our policies, especially ] (our naming conventions) and ] (our manual of style). For example, in , you said that if a possessive word ends in S that you don't add an apostrophe S, just an apostrophe. If you check ], this is not necessarily correct. In fact, it gives "Illinois's legislature" as one the examples. It states that adding an apostrophe S is ''more common for modern names and common nouns'' as opposed to just an apostrophe being ''more common for biblical and classical names''.

I see that you are enthusiastic about helping Misplaced Pages, which is great, but you just need to focus it on tasks that will be more constructive. The welcome message that you deleted had several very good links that would help you; you may want to go back and look at it a bit more. Please, for the time being, don't make any page moves without prior discussion and a clear ]. You are, understandably, on a very short leash when it comes to this. If you think an article needs moved, first check the policies to ensure that it is correct, and then post it on the article's talk page and discuss it. Remember, ], if there is a small problem with an article, it can wait until it has been discussed. If you ever have a question, don't be afraid to ask for help. I sincerely hope that during this block, you will read up on policy a bit. If you do, I am confident that will have a less rocky and more enjoyable editing experience. Cheers! <span style="font-family:Cooper Black;color:#000;font-size:14px">]&nbsp;<sup>]</sup>/<small>]</small></span> 00:49, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

:I just talked to my English teacher about this yesterday; he said ' is more common now, not 's at the end of a word that ends with an S. Also, if I'm blocked, how am I editing my talk page? And what do you mean blocked again? This is my first block here. - ] (]) 02:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

::Oops, sorry about the "again" part, it's now stricken. I must have been thinking of another user, my apologies. I'll admit, it's been a few years since I've been in an English class, and, as fast as grammar rules change, I may not be fully up-to-date on it, but, here, we go by what the ] says. If you think that it should be changed, you could bring it up there, but barring getting it changed, you should try to stick to what it says. Blocked users are generally allowed to edit their own talk page, unless they use it abusively. Thanks for restoring the welcome message, I honestly think that it will help you a bit.

Personally, there are a few things in it that I find counter-intuitive, so I usually keep it open when I'm doing anything other than vandalism reverts for quick reference. <span style="font-family:Cooper Black;color:#000;font-size:14px">]&nbsp;<sup>]</sup>/<small>]</small></span> 04:14, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

===Blocked===
I've blocked you for 24hrs because of your repeated personal attacks and overall cantankerous attitude displayed during the last few days. ] ] 08:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

===Trying again===
I can tell that you want to be a good editor, so I'm going to try again to talk to you. First, let's talk background here: you have 533 edits. In those 533 edits, you've managed to bother people enough that you've been blocked twice, for 24 hours each. I have over 22,000 edits, and I've also been blocked twice: both by mistake or misunderstanding, and for under 3 hours each. You should be able to understand that that means I've learned a bit about how to edit effectively here. If I got blocked at your rate, I'd have been kicked off Misplaced Pages years ago ... they don't let people get 45 blocks, and that's how many it would have been.

You really need to stop letting anger show. It's impossible not to get pissed off at people here. It's going to happen. Do you think calling them "stupid" or "smarty-pants" helps? Does telling someone that's giving you advice to "shut it" help? Nope. That's pretty much what got you blocked this time. Especially when people that you do it to people that are trying to help you learn something about how to edit here.

As for your editing, some of it's OK. The articles that you created have a common problem, and I'll try to explain it. High-schools simplify a lot of stuff. They teach things as being absolutely true, when in fact it's just one of several techniques, or sometimes just your teacher's or textbook author's opinion. When I pointed you at ] as containing everything in your ] article, I meant it. Had you stopped for a moment and studied that article, you would have learned a lot about English grammar, and would have seen for yourself that your article was redundant. Drmies tried to give you the same advice, and all you did was get angry at him, and that's silly. Look at his userpage, look at his edits. He teaches language instruction, is fluent in four languages and familiar with two more. Hard to tell from my userpage, but you should be able to guess from my hobbies and list of places that I've lived: I function well in three languages and am familiar with three more. Our advice is sound: we know more about grammar than you do, and when we try to help you, we don't deserve to be bitten. You would be well served to listen instead of bite.

Next time you want to create an article, why don't you leave a message on my page and describe what article you want to build? I can help you figure out whether its appropriate, and where it would fit in Misplaced Pages if it is. If you work on fitting in and helping, things will go smoothly. If you just bite the people that try to help, life will go badly quickly.&mdash;](]) 13:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

===Why people don't format your page the way you like===
Hi Eugene Krabs

Perhaps you are not aware of the "New section" or "+" tab on the top of pages, but it makes it easy for an editor to create a new section at the bottom of a page. This is conventionally what an editor does to add a new topic to a Talk page. As you will see if you try it, it adds a ] divider. So notwithstanding your dislike of first-level headings, you'll be fighting against the tools to keep your dividers as second-level headings.

(OD) I'm glad to see that you've already began the discussion, so this appears to already be in the process of getting resolved, but I wanted to expand a bit on what Kww pointed out and, hopefully, help avoid this in the future. In the future, when you're reverting a good faith edit, instead of using a Rollback edit summary, try explaining why you believe that the edit was incorrect. Using a simple "reverted edits by" edit summary is fine when it is a case of obvious vandalism, such as when someone randomly inserts a curse word, but in good faith edits, an explanation should be given. If you start explaining using edit summaries, I think that you'll find yourself in these situations a lot less often. <span style="font-family:Cooper Black;color:#000;font-size:14px">] <sup>]</sup>/<small>]</small></span> 03:08, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

User:Amaury using rollback to revert constructive or good-faith edits without explanation at WP:AARV

Could you address the concerns raised here? Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: Thank you for the message. I will start off by saying that I don't claim to be perfect, and mistakes certainly happen.
  • Diffs 1 and 6 were already answered by other users.
  • Diff 2 was a mistake that I did not catch.
  • Diff 3 was in violation of WP:OVERLINKING a common word. This disruption has been a long-term problem in slow-motion from various IPs since at least September 2020, unless I missed something in the article history. I will going to WP:RFPP the next time it happens. It wasn't happening frequently enough that I didn't know if a request at WP:RFPP would have been approved, but it's getting old and will be going there next time.
  • Diff 4 introduced cast and characters that were not recurring, with the exception of Iggy and Young Alisha. Non-main cast and characters with a credit of guest star or higher need a minimum of five appearances to be considered recurring.
  • Diffs 5, 9, and 10 introduced category/template bloat.
  • Diff 7 broke code formatting, which is often sneaky vandalism that people do.
  • Diff 8 introduced unsourced content.
  • Diff 11 was a partial mistake, as the edit did introduce problems, so it was roughly 50% bad. This is also another area of sneaky vandalism, as people often make up or guess what characters' full names are, which is in-universe WP:TRIVIA, unless there's a reliable primary or secondary source, such as the credits (primary).
  • Diff 12 introduced a sentence fragment, as well as intentionally breaking the formatting with that line break, despite the user claiming they were correcting grammar.
  • Diff 13 violates WP:REDNOT.
  • Diff 14 introduced unnecessary sourcing. The series' credits serve as the primary source. Once an episode airs, a source is no longer required since the episode itself serves as the source. For example, if a secondary source says John Smith as The Great Apple will appear, once that episode airs, the secondary source is no longer required, since the actor and who they portray will be listed in the primary source—the credits.
Having said all that, I don't appreciate a random user who I don't know stalking my edits and trying to cause trouble by blowing a potentially small problem out of proportion, especially a user who not only has far less edits than I do, but has also been around for far less time than I have. 14 edits out of my almost 90,000 edits overall or out of my almost 1,500 edits for 2024 that are potentially a problem don't show a pattern; otherwise, this would have been raised long ago. Unless I'm going around making severe personal attacks that require immediate attention, which I am not, they need to find something better to do with their time than to follow me around just to look for me to mess up. I'm only human, I'm not a robot. This isn't your fault, of course, and I do appreciate the message once again. Amaury • 03:14, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Amaury, I don't think anyone is saying these reverts were all wrong, so no one is asking for a long justification for each of them. They are saying (and I am too) that the edits you reverted were, with 2 exceptions, good faith edits, certainly not obvious vandalism, and so they needed more than an unexplained rollback. This is not 14 edits out of 90,000 (nor 1,500), it is 12 edits out of the 57 edits you made between 12/21 and 12/30. As I said at AARV, all that is needed is a recalibration of your "obvious problem edit/bad faith edit” criterion. But that recalibration is needed, or else someone is going to remove your rollback permission. It doesn't need to be a big deal, but it does need addressing. Nobody is asking you to be perfect; all we're asking is that you take feedback onboard. Indeed, it looks to me like starting on the 31st, you did stop unexplained rollbacks. A simple "ok, my bad, some of those times I shouldn't have used rollback, and I've started explaining the reverts" would have nipped this in the bud. Floquenbeam (talk) 15:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
@Floquenbeam: Thank you for the message. I could and should have clarified more, but the whole "my bad" is basically what I was at least trying to get across with my not being perfect and make mistakes comment. While I can admit that what was construed as WP:ITIS by another user wasn't the best of arguments, I still personally feel that the rest of the point I was trying to make is valid. AP was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill and it's pretty clear that they were following me around just looking for me to mess up just so they could have their five minutes of fame and make a report, at least in my opinion. Why so quick to go to a noticeboard to look for possible sanctions after only one message on my talk page? Then to start out with the whole "I don't like that it had to come to this, but..." just sends the wrong vibes. I don't mean for this to sound like I'm whining, because I'm not trying to, that's just what it felt like to me.
I do see the point you're making about looking at the edits between December 21 and December 31, but I feel it's also important to look at my edits as a whole. That's the point I was trying to make, in which more often than not, I do use edit summaries for reverts like the highlighted ones in this report. If only looking at the edits between those two dates, it makes it look bad for me, as if I'm always that way. One final point is that I wasn't ignoring AP, I just don't edit Misplaced Pages as much as I used to, as seen by my edit statistics on my user page and the long time it took to update them and my talk page archives. (The really high edit counts are when I was regularly fighting vandalism.) It's a combination of being busy in real life and just not currently having heavy interest here, so I'll normally only get on for a bit and revert any problematic edits I see. If I see I have a message, I skim it and end up forgetting about it. I can be more careful moving forward, but I also don't want to feel like I have to walk on eggshells in fear of, so to speak, AP reporting me again. Amaury • 20:27, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
