RE: My guestbook

First of all, thank you for signing my guestbook. I am sorry if that edit crashed your browser. I was feeling hyper and decided not to show it in the mainspace, so I went to Sandbox for User Warnings and put a crap ton of content in there (1+ MB I think). Was just having fun and didn't want a block, so sorry about that! — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, it is kinda my fault for not being aware of the extremely large addition and recklessly checking the IP's edit after yours. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

No worries. Did you notice the many giant "HA HA"s in that version? — thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:21, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Vinothini RYH (07:10, 28 May 2024)

Hello, How to make an edit --Vinothini RYH (talk) 07:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, you can edit pages by clicking on the "edit source" button. If the button instead displays "view source", then the page may be protected from editing due to repeated cases of vandalisms, or the page is controversial. The good news is that most pages on wikipedia isn't protected, and you can edit without those restrictions if your account reaches:

Over 10 edits with an account age of 3 days

Over 500 edits with an account age of 30 days

You can override some restrictions. Please don't make the same minor changes many times to achieve this however: your permission will be revoked if caught and may even result in a sanction being placed. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 07:47, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

EF Education First history rewrite

Thank you for reviewing the rewrite I proposed of the EF Education First history section. Could I ask for some examples of the sources you see as problematic? I tried to follow the guidelines and feel like these sources are as good as those of the history sections of other similar-sized education companies' articles like Kaplan,_Inc. and Pearson_plc, but would be happy to try and address the issues you've found. K8bell (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, and I rejected your request because it triggered an edit filter warning users about use of self published/blog references. I just wanted to double check if you're aware of the policy regarding that. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'd understood that company/employee blogs and other company webpages could be cited in a limited way for factual information like dates or office locations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ABOUTSELF. Is that a misunderstanding on my part? That type of information is not cited in the press, and removing those sentences will make the history section less coherent, but I will edit them out if necessary to comply with the guidelines.
