Sons of Liberty entry spelling issues

Hey, I'm a casual (so apologies for likely not understanding all the procedures) Wikipedia reader and rarely editor with some interest in American history who noticed what simply seemed to be an obvious typo or spelling error on the Sons of Liberty page, and so corrected "trader" to "traitor" in the previous and now restored incorrect wording of "Benjamin Church (physician) - first Surgeon-General of the United States Army and known trader. Banished from Massachusetts in 1778." Kindly take a look at the Benjamin Church page for background on Dr. Church who wasn't a merchant ("trader") but was "tried and convicted of 'communicating with the enemy'" ("traitor"). Hopefully that will clarify any previous author's intent and spelling hiccup, allow the currently incorrect entry be appropriately corrected (maybe just re-applying the typo fix, or with different word choice or phrasing?) and if at all possible help clear the scary vandalism warning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.7.69 (talk) 02:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Oy !!!

The edit I made to the article on Timothy Dexter was constructive. It was a quote from the text referenced.

Program synthesis: extend expired protecction?

Hi again! In Nov 2019 you helped me to protect the article Program synthesis (see User talk:CLCStudent/Archive 73 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&diff=prev&oldid=924626677).

Apparently, the protection has expired, and the same (I suppose from the identical IP prefix 2601:184:...) anonymous user has resumed his/her activity on Mar 2nd, see here and here. Could you help me again, with an extension of the page protection? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 22:47, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

(TPS) @Jochen Burghardt: I filed a request here (diff). In the future, if adding requests is too time consuming, you could try to use the gadget Twinkle to help you make the process semi-automated. Tridwoxi (talk) (contribs) 00:26, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

@CLCStudent and Tridwoxi: Thanks for forwarding, protecting, and for the hint to Twinkle. I successfully installed it and intend to use it next time. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 13:48, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Robert Black (serial killer), you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (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 another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 11:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Level 3 warning for first edit?

After reverting this edit made by 106.203.56.204, you warned the user with uw-vandalism3. However, that edit was the first edit made by that user, and it's possible that they didn't understand Wikipedia's policies. Usually, this would warrant a level 1 warning for unexplained content removal, not a level 3 warning for vandalism. TK421bsod | talk | my contributions 16:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Level 4im warnings after two edits?

Could you clarify why you are leaving 4im warnings after two edits? (Evidence) This doesn't seem like the level of vandalism to warrant that. I'm not criticizing, I'm just asking for an explanation because I'm confused by this... King of Scorpions 00:31, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

She typed the n word with a k in front of it. CLCStudent (talk) 00:31, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

I noticed a similar thing at User_talk:134.173.92.5, where you gave a level 4im warning after one edit making a joke (which imo is not really the most severe form of vandalism), and I see some others have expressed similar concerns on your talk page before. I definitely understand the frustration of seeing someone who is clearly just here to vandalize get initially let off the hook and allowed to continue vandalizing creating more work for others, but for the milder cases like the one at Pomona's article, consider that using a less strongly-worded warning (which still clearly gets the point across) might be more effective in preventing future vandalism. Humor is funniest when it's played against the humorless, and slapping a big red stop sign in front of someone who was (in their view) just trying to have some innocent fun makes us come across as humorless and just eggs them on, whereas polite notes explaining why vandalism is a problem are generally received less defensively and occasionally even convert vandals into productive contributors. Cheers, Sdkb (talk) 05:04, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

On the other hand, Wikipedia is not a joke book for children and childish people to scrawl in, and disrupting articles by inserting racist slurs is not "innocent fun."--Mr Fink (talk) 05:29, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

​ I agree, but I also think that IMO, 4im after one or two edits is a bit overkill. I might have done a level 2 or maybe a level 3 instead. King of Scorpions 16:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Your addition of challenged, uncited information

Here you added names to a list where the names had not articles and there were no supporting refs and no proper indicia of notability, and the names had all been challenged by deletion already as non-notable. Many of those are also blp - which makes this even worse. You also misleadingly indicated in your edit summary that your mass revert was a "minor" edit. Please self-revert, or write the appropriate articles, or add RS refs that show both that the person is notable under wp standards and that they went to the institution in question. --2604:2000:E010:1100:2D9D:B47E:6528:6FE9 (talk) 16:26, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Undone, but I can tell you I did not indicate it was a minor edit. CLCStudent (talk) 16:28, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. If you look at the edit summary to your edit, it has an "m." If you hover over that, it says "this is a minor edit." 2604:2000:E010:1100:2D9D:B47E:6528:6FE9 (talk) 17:15, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Well, my apologigies, but it might have been automatic. I always use rollback to undo edits. CLCStudent (talk)

Accidentally Undid Removal Of Vandalism

Hello, I have accidentally undid your revision of getting rid of vandalism, I was trying to undo what he did but I undid yours instead, I am sorry. SnazzyInfinity (talk) 16:05, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

No problem. CLCStudent (talk) 16:06, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Level 3 & 4 template warnings & the edit filters

Hello CLCStudent, could you stop sending IP addresses who've triggered the edit filters with levels 3 & 4 template warnings as their first warning. Their edits are mostly disallowed and therefore, have not committed vandalism. Please use lvs 1 & 2 first. Using final warning templates as a first warning are only appropriate for those who've actually committed vandalism to the extreme per WP:UWLEVELS. Don't get me wrong though - I do appreciate your efforts/commitment in stopping vandalism. Jerm (talk) 19:47, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Milwaukee County, Wisconsin

I noticed that you rolled back user 2602:306:367a:d30:743f:b799:4057:2b32's edits to Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. It seems to me that the user was making legitimate copyedits to the article; they corrected "Waukeegan" to "Waukegan." I am going to take the liberty of reverting your rollback of their constructive edit. CoatGuy (talk) 20:51, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Radiation

Howdy,

Even though it's absolutely out of line, he can still put that on his TP. I don't particulary agree with it but policy stands. Sorry for the rollback...

	Whoa, looks like that IP does not know where to express their opinions. I made a null edit to that page to hopefully stop that IP from reverting the edit again and adding in their vandalism. :) Anyway, good job today! Aasim 22:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

I can't understand you.

I can't understand you. What did you see as unacceptable comments? "The use of pistols in street fighting indicates that the rebels are poorly equipped with weapons." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.155.64.26 (talk) 14:18, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

@178.155.64.26: That may be because you broke the syntax in your edit of Diff/947626705 and it is not readily apparent there is a pistol in the image. I've restored it with correct syntax for now. ~ Tridwoxi (talk) (contribs) 16:04, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
