Eek, I have realized some "minor" edits I made weren't minor.

I seem to have found out that edits that I thought were minor were actually not minor.  Self-whale... for when a trout just isn't enough --InterstateFive (talk) 00:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

I just did it as a joke. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 17:56, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

It does not matter if it was a joke or not. WP:NFCC has specific rules as to when non-free media can be used. Non-free media is prohibited outside of mainspace. Hope you understand. Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis 16:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Edits by IP User

The editor who keeps deleting Ben Tennyson has also blanked Gwen Tennyson and numerous other pages. MandoWarrior (talk) 19:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

I saw. I would've reverted but I knew they would likely revert back. And then I couldn't revert because I would be engaging in an edit war. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 19:48, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Right, but they are an IP and these are their only edits, so it does fit WP:VANDALISM and you should be able to WP:REVERT no problem. MandoWarrior (talk) 19:55, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Completely forgot bout' that :P InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 19:59, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi InterstateFive. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 05:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Pete Dunne

Thank you for your revert on Pete Dunne. Although they have appeared to have changed his name to Butch, WP:RS still comes into play. So thanks for that. PedigreeWWEFigz87V2 (talk) 01:22, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Chris Sharma

I have edited on many of the main rock climbing BLP articles of WP at one stage or another and had just reverted an edit from a few weeks ago where someone amended the lede of the Chris Sharma article regarding his status without any comment (when the article clarifies that he is considered one of the greatest climbers in history). Please help to restore the correct version and undo your revert. thanks. 78.18.231.44 (talk) 20:30, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

 Self-trout I just did that. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 20:35, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

War GA nom

Seriously, do not nominate the war article for GA. That would be a complete waste of time given that it's constantly in flux. EEng 02:44, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay okay, I'm sorry, I'm just not great with GA nominations, okay? That was my first GA nomination and I thought "stable" meant no edit warring, not lots of editing. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:17, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Don't stress about it. We cool. EEng 00:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

You've ruined my edits that took a lot of effort!

What the hell did you do on List of Realme Products? I was trying to add more content on Narzo series! You've ruined it! Restore it properly! Jemlim0108 (talk) 02:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Jemlim0108 I must've clicked the wrong thing. The reason I removed your edit was because you didn't provide a citation to a reliable source, not because you removed content w/o explanation. I changed the notice on your talk page.

Also, if your edit gets reverted, follow the bold, revert, discuss cycle rather than reverting my revert. The latter's called edit warring, and is not allowed. Hope you understand. InterstateFive (talk) - just another roadgeek 15:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Citations necessity

Wikipedia says citations necessary for contentios claims and personal stuff. Stuff which is not contentious and easily verifiable doesn't absolutely need citing Gigi D Agostino even has his Wikipedia page with links to the song I don't know how to link to a YouTube video I saw. Taking my comment down is censorship with no need and potentially spoiling peoples enjoyment of facts. You should only take down if you have some suspicion of incorrect data. If you are unsure you can simply let someone else who knows more edit out errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.20.240.120 (talk) 14:19, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Since no one has responded yet, I'll go ahead and tell you what I know. You got the information from somewhere, so can we also know where you go it, so we will know it was true. Everything needs to be verifiable, so we'll know you didn't just make it up. Some articles are patrolled better than others. And anyone has the right to remove unsourced information.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

Your help desk question

Did you find the answer to this question? You seem very experienced about this sort of thing so I assume you know they answer these questions on WP:VPT. At least I think so. I gave someone incorrect advice yesterday about another of the village pumps.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:18, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

WP:CRV, WP:V, WP:BLP, WP:VAN, WP:PROMO, and WP:NPOV

Are those links really useful? Imagine being a newcomer, making an edit that gets reverted, then seeing all those links as “help”. I think you’d be better off answering questions individually instead of having that there. – AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 03:21, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

I made it more specific so people don't have to waste time reading policies that do not apply to their reverted edit. I believe it's useful because it's a quick answer to their questions (asking me specifically takes more time as school/sleeping exists) interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 22:22, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Your revert

You reverted [1], suggesting that it should go to AfD instead. AfD is not relevant because I didn't say the article should be deleted, I said it should be redirected.

I feel like opening an AfD or RfD for this would be overkill, because it's already obvious that this and similar articles shouldn't be articles. They're completely in-universe and make zero claim to notability, so they shouldn't be articles; this is basic Wikipedia 101 stuff (don't assume that just because I'm editing from an IP I don't understand how WP works). I started going through these The Wire character articles and redirecting all the ones that have no real-world notability information whatsoever (I was using a very low bar for this, if an article had even one thing that's not in-universe I didn't redirect it). If you really object, then we can open a grouped RfD for all these articles, but to me it seems like a waste of time because I don't even see any remotely plausible argument for keeping these. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I believe WP:BLANK still applies here. Also, redirecting is a possible outcome at AfD, so you could just state you want the article redirected instead of deleted. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:38, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I stand corrected about the deletion. Anyway, I still believe AfD would be a waste of time, so my first choice now would be to just PROD each one of these articles (with a note saying it can be replaced with a redirect instead of actually deleted). But if you don't agree with redirecting them then the PROD would just turn into an AfD anyway, so if that's the case then we can skip that step and go directly to AfD. So I guess what I'm asking is, if I went through and put a PROD on each of these articles now, would you contest them? If so, I can just go straight to AfD. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

I probably won't. After I got your message I looked at the articles and noticed that the article on Stan only had 3 sources, and the article on Kenard didn't have a single reference. I tagged them, but feel free to PROD away. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

K, will do. Just a heads up, after that I'm probably also going to go around removing and tagging a bunch of non-free images I noticed in these and related pages (if these pages end up getting redirected then those images will be orphaned anyway, but there also are some non-free images on the "list of X characters on The Wire" type pages that also need to be removed). 61.18.156.43 (talk) 00:50, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Y interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Regarding these articles, I put them up for PROD but there were some objections, so I opened a discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fictional characters#Redirecting articles on [mostly] minor The Wire characters]]. Just letting you know in case you want to comment; no pressure to get involved if it's not your thing. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 03:38, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

I don't usually respond to deletion requests but I may. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 14:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Sean “Old Stinky” Payton

Greetings friend, I am a Saints Super-fan and Love Sean Payton with all my heart. You said my updating of his nickname was not cited properly so I will find you the correct info. You must not be a big saints fan, because that’s what we all call him down in Louisiana! 216.237.228.127 (talk) 00:40, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

If you can find a reliable source (see WP:SOURCE and WP:QS for info on how to distinguish a non-reliable source from a reliable one) about this, then go ahead. I don't believe your changing of the link was constructive, though. interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 00:46, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi there. I noticed you'd added yourself as an adopter. Thanks for that. You might want to consider stating or clarifying your active time in UTC, as your 3-7pm is probably very different to mine any many other people's. Are you only wanting to adopt people in pairs? I assume not, but your text does read rather like that's what you meant, so maybe that's worth looking at, too. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 19:39, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

You can adopt me

Hi Thankyou for thanking my 2edits. GentBeaus69 (talk) 00:08, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
