Happy editing! Skynxnex (talk) 14:49, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching the later problematic edit on Katie Ledecky and your other recent edits. You may want to read Help:Notifications (sadly it's wrong) about how to ping (some places refer it as "echo" since that was the original name) other editors when you mention them. I'll say for that particular case, most editors would expect a comment like that on their own talk page (so you could have made a new section in User talk:Skynxnex). No worries, of course, since there's a lot to get used to. If that IP makes any more similar edits within the next day or two, you can report them to WP:AIV if you feel comfortable or just notify me.

If you're interested in general about counter vandalism, once you get your legs more (if you need to) around Wikipedia, Wikipedia:Vandalism may be worth reading. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. Skynxnex (talk) 14:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please warn users![edit]

Hi @1432423132A,

I see that you are failing to warn users about their mistakes. See this page for a list of useful warnings for talk pages. It is important that you let users know about their "mistakes" or "vandalisms" so they stop. Thanks! Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 01:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry! I'm pretty new here, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to do so, or if only mods could warn peeps. 1432423132A talk 01:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC) 1432423132A talk 01:03, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Drmies (talk) 01:33, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry--you were fighting the good fight. My apologies. Drmies (talk) 01:34, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies That's all good haha, it happens :)

Didn't realize I was edit warring, I was patrolling the recent changes.

Also, would you be able to tell me which page it was? Indigo talk 07:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- - Yeah, it was Jefferson Davis Highway, an article that I have some interest in--that fake highway runs through my town. If you look at the history, well I see now why I misclicked: your name kind of looks like the IP address of the vandal, and it's in between four of their edits. Again, my apologies! At least now your block log kind of looks cool, haha. Drmies (talk) 12:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
