 Welcome to my talk page! 

You can leave a message here. I should respond within my next time I'm active.

Please keep the following in mind:

  • My preferred method for replies to threads I've made is using the : wikitext to indent the reply and using {{ping|TheDragonFire300}} or {{reply to|TheDragonFire300}}
  • Please make sure messages comply with WP:CIVIL, WP:HARASS and WP:NPA. Failure to comply will result in your messages being ignored/removed, and in the case of WP:HARASS and WP:NPA, a warning being issued.
  • If I did something stupid, trout me. Even I make mistakes sometimes. (Counter-vandalism is hard).
  • SHOUTING AT ME RARELY MAKES THE SITUATION BETTER.
  • There is rarely any need to reply to discussions with a resolved box on it or a discussion in the archives.

Note: If you create formatting errors using the link above, I will correct them for you. I will not edit any other part of your comment.

Reversion of my edit on WP:BRO[edit]

I see that you reverted my edit in WP:BRO
I changed that part in the essay in order to make it less sexist.
An essay being horribly out of touch does not have to equate to it being sexist in any way, big or small, in my opinion, which is why I modified that specific paragraph.
I can understand why you reverted my edit on that page, but I changed that paragraph that said “boys are particularly troublesome” for a reason. 108.44.231.102 (talk) 00:38, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I realized this was a partial revert and not a full revert. 108.44.231.102 (talk) 00:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I understand it, that attempts to document a practice as it already exists; the disproportionate tendency for unblock requests to blame little brothers over any other family member (parent, sister et al). It's pretty clear the article is not at all serious when it says boys are particularly troublesome and it would be difficult to say with a straight face that you were offended by it.

Just a tiny thing[edit]

The block on that account that created 3 ANI threads was for NOTHERE, not vandalism-only, (although they did edit the talk page of WP:Vandalism-only account) – 143.208.239.27 (talk) 07:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A look at SpartanEmpire999 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s contrib history reveals how I made that error; they'd added a trolling edit to Wikipedia talk:Vandalism-only account; that must have stuck in my head when I typed up the close. It's been corrected now, thanks! Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). 07:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
