To put it quite clear you should be ashamed of yourself for altering the removal of data that I cleared!

On the vagabound listing it FALSELY listed that people were put in concentration camps in germany for being vagabond which is LIES! THEY WERE INNOCENT CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS ! NOT CRIMINALS!

SHAME UPON ALL OF YOU AT WIKIPEDIA FOR RESTORING IT BACK AND THEN WHEN I REMOVE IT ALL FALSE INFO YOU RESTORE IT AGAIN SHAME UPON YOU ALL!

When people are REMOVING SOMETHING it is BECAUSE IT IS FALSE! Stop restoring HURTFUL LIES AND FALSEHOODS! And do NOT put your warning notices on every page obstructing my use of wikipedia!And STOP listing peoples IP addresses publicly or you will get sued! DO NOT post ANY IP address of a person editing and I mean it! I am sick of abusive people hacking me or others for editing pages!

They have CRIMINAL and POLITICAL AGENDAS and if people REMOVE the FALSE HISTORY then they get attacked so STOP publicly displaying IP addresses!

ALL of the HISTORY on royal lines and of EUROPE has been changed to altered history and LIES ALL falsehoods! NEEDS REMOVED and CORRECTED! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.183.142.112 (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. As for your concern, Wikipedia automatically logs the IP address of users who are not signed making edits. If you do not want your IP posted, you could create an account. —FormalDude^(talk) 04:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Corey Maison

Hello FormalDude, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Corey Maison, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims coverage in reliable sources. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

June 2020

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Horse Eye Jack has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. They are blocked. Your unhelpful template is not a legitimate comment. If you think you have the right to edit war over another editor's page, then file at WP:ANI. ——Serial ^# 07:34, 25 June 2020 (UTC) ——Serial ^# 07:34, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Please don't post templates threatening to block editors who are already blocked. This is incredibly pointless. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: I will continue to write custom messages on user's talk pages to let them know when their comments may be interpreted as a violation of WP:PG. While my comment was a template, I completely changed the wording for clarity. It seems like you just saw my comment title and a twinkle tag and couldn't wait to tell someone WP:DTTR. Ironic that you chose to use a template to convey that point.

@NinjaRobotPirate: I considered not mentioning anything on User:Horse Eye Jack's talk page when I saw they were blocked, but my comment was unrelated to the reason they were blocked, so I was making them aware for the first time. It was not a threat. I am committed to civility and believe there's no reason users should not be able to explain themselves to one another. I did not have any intention to report them to be blocked, and certainly not as retribution for their edits, which is what your calling my warning a threat implies.

Even if my comment was about the reason they were blocked, I would still warn the user, as it's applicable to any future decision(s) to block or unblock them. The only time it is "pointless" to warn another user is if they've already been warned about the same edit. —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 02:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

@FormalDude:Please stop tagging me in posts all across wikipedia, its getting annoying. For what its worth I’m on Serial #’s side on this one, I don’t think your warning was valid and if you think my restoration of it counts as an endorsement you are sorely mistaken. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:21, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Horse Eye Jack I wasn't implying you endorsed my comment, I was implying there was no reason to delete the talk page comment. I'm surprised there issue's with my suggestion you shouldn't pan another editor because their English vernacular. —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 23:03, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Removing posts from a talk page

Hi, I noticed your revert at User talk:Charlie6017 and just wanted to make you aware that editors can remove posts from their own talk page, including warnings, and it isn't appropriate to revert those removals. (See WP:OWNTALK for details and exceptions.) Schazjmd (talk) 00:22, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

@Schazjmd I believe this instance was appropriate given the warnings had been added minutes before and this user was making repeated bad-faith edits. Wikipedia:Removing warnings states "Removing warnings for vandalism from one's talk page is also considered vandalism. However, after a reasonable time has elapsed, archiving one's talk page, including the vandal warning, is acceptable." Am I misunderstanding this? —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 00:29, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Um...did you see the notice at the top of WP:Removing warnings where it says Please note that this page contradicts current practice, so use caution when citing it. and This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.? The current guidance is WP:OWNTALK. Schazjmd (talk) 00:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

I'll be taking one of these now.—FORMALDUDE^(talk) 01:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Ha! No biggie, this is how we learn. Schazjmd (talk) 01:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Epoch Times reference at Webull

Hi. Please do not use the Epoch Times as you did at Webull. It is not a reliable source. See WP:RSP. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 10:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Webull

Hello FormalDude,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Webull for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Dear Robby.is.on, Kindly do not remove this message/notice from the creator's page via rollback's rights. How he will come to know about the CSD tags on one of his articles? - Hatchens (talk) 09:34, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm very sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. I've also posted to your Talk page. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 09:47, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Robby.is.on, no worries. just be careful. "With great power comes great responsibility". - Hatchens (talk) 10:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Absolutely. I think it has happened about a handful of times since 2007. Robby.is.on (talk) 10:07, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Power Rangers In Space

I Find the word "Eccentric" to be the wrong case for the professor. I Prefer "Odd" or wacky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.175.208 (talk) 00:52, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

@68.193.175.208: Good suggestion. Just so you know, whenever you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to change it. We encourage you to be bold in updating pages, since wikis like ours develop faster when everybody edits. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly (as you may have noticed lol). Personally I think considering the tone here is important, as we want to sound impartial. In my opinion eccentric is fine, but it could also be replaced with unconventional or slightly strange. —FORMALDUDE^(talk) 00:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

@FormalDude: Actually, I just find the word "Eccentric" to be stupid in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.175.208 (talk)

February 2021

Hi FormalDude! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Suicide methods that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --Renat (talk) 07:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Abu Dharr

I gave three books of sifat [attributes] of the Sahabah. All of the descriptions in which I gave had chains going back to Abu Dharr himself, and there is no issue. So, may I ask you, what isn't credible?
