Editing Requirements

Hi, thanks for the feedback on your revisions for dreadlocks. It is a derogatory term that has not been recognized in the community of wearers and apparently is the popular term being used everywhere. Please provide advice on updating the page to reflect the correct name “locs” and also identify the source of the incorrect term “dreadlocs” as I believe Wikipedia is a source of misinformation on this topic.

Humbly,

Concerned Citizen 76.182.104.189 (talk) 18:10, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you reaching out to discuss this. I will refrain from reverting edits to the page myself as they're discussed.

Your suggestions, if accurate, would definitely constitute valid edits, but you must understand that your community of 'wearers' is not the global one. I would encourage you to open a discussion on the Dreadlocks talk page, especially if you have additional sources to share. I would also allege the though Wikipedia could possibly be a source of misinformation, changing the information without a source is just as likely to be misinformation.

April 2022

Hello. Thank you for your contributions against vandalism. Regarding the recent reverts you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Kpddg ^(talk) 14:31, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism From My Shared IP

Hi, you might've seen some recent vandalism from my shared IP, I told some kids in my electronic class that our township had a page and they wouldn't stop vandalizing it, I've gotten them to stop now. 47.19.130.149 (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Leaving warnings/notifications Request

Hello GabberFlasted, Thank you for your contributions.

When reverting possible vandalism or any other editors' edits, it is recommended that you notify them of your actions. This is a polite request that you should embark on doing so.

To help you with that, Twinkle and RedWarn become very handy.. (especially Twinkle is easier to use as no special requirements are needed). This link Wikipedia:Twinkle could help you with more information that you may need. Happy editing! Volten001 ^☎ 19:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Citations

Can you please work with me on Sexy Vegan page? Everything I am saying is true & you delete it. I included his Federal Election Commission filing from the government website & you just deleted all my edits. I can provide more references if you want but he is not a famous criminal but there was just one incident & it is referenced in the controversy section but it is not appropriate to mention it in the lead plus he doesnt use youtube or tik tok & a hater wrote all that false stuff. Kristin carlicci (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

can u please revert ur edit & i can add references to show my claims Kristin carlicci (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

why do u insist on reverting my corrections? i have lots if sources Kristin carlicci (talk) 13:05, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reaching out. In the process of some of your changes you rewrote cited content to not adhere to the source provided, deleted some sourced content, and added some questionably POV content. Please read WP:BLP and WP:NPOV for some basics on writing articles of still living people. Yes, I am already making more edits to try and keep the page factual. I am not interested in slandering this person, or maintaining a certain depiction of the subject. If you have new sources, please make edits that only add or change information backed up by that source. If two sources have conflicting information, it may take some deciphering to identify the truth if at all possible. GabberFlasted (talk) 13:12, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did u read his citations though? he just cited stuff like a tik tok sound. Sexy has over a million instagram followers & doesnt use tik tok. I included his FEC presidential filing & Sexy gets paid from his music streams & has 5 albums released so it is not accurate to say he is amatuer musician plus it is not not worthy to mention he was an extra and it is redundant to say he is a vegan and refundant to repeat the bestiality allegations a dozen times. He was just accused of bestiality after a dog ran up & licked his butt & then he pleaded to disturbing the peace so he was never convicted on it & so it is not appropriate to mention it a dozen times & list it in the intro like he is a famous convicted crimimal. Please revert my changes as they are more accurate. I can add references to them after u revert back Kristin carlicci (talk) 13:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

but if u read his sources they do not support what he says, he just posts his hater comments & then lists sources that dont agree with them. if u revert my controversy section u will see that my references confirm what i say, none of his references say “Sexy dances wierd” and his sister calling him “SV” is not note worthy to mention, he was on the show for legally changing his name to Sexy Vegan and walking around in a speedo. Not what the Pet Semetary says. Pet Semetery is obviously a hater and should be blocked to keep it factual Kristin carlicci (talk) 13:26, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will not speak to the actions of another editor as I have not been keeping up with this article and the progression if its content.
I have reviewed your claims regarding the subject's convictions and would like to thank you. The article was indeed misleading and I believe I have removed most of what was patently untrue or ambiguously misleading. I will continue reviewing for these changes.
I will try to look into the FEC link you posted.
I also intend to review the sources of the article, as it does seem bloated and I most likely remove anything that I think is inarguably not reliable.

Thank you for your patience and collaboration. GabberFlasted (talk) 13:45, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can we lock the page as it is at least not a complete hit piece now, before it was just a blantant smear piece but at the moment it is decent so can we lock it before pet senetary gets back on and vandalizes again? Kristin carlicci (talk) 14:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an administrator. I would ask that you stop editing the page (as will I) for the time as I am investigating how to proceed with this article. GabberFlasted (talk) 14:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am content with current state of Sexy Vegan

I will leave it be but can you please lock this page as Sexy is a controversial figure prone to haters & vandalism so the page needs to be protected. Kristin carlicci (talk) 14:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can request page protection here, at Requests for page protection. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:23, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pet Semetary is back and vandalizing article, please stop them Kristin carlicci (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

gabby, can you request page protection? I can’t figure out how to Kristin carlicci (talk) 18:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be a valuable experience for you to learn how to do it yourself. I will however let you know that due to how wikipedia works, there are multiple kinds of page protection, and almost any kind would prevent you from editing. However, it is unlikely that the page in question would receive a protection so heavy as to stop I or the editor your have a conflict with, as we are confirmed users. You are still free to request it though. GabberFlasted (talk) 18:04, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relocated comment

Be more professional when reviewing edits please. Just because you do not personally agree, that does not give you the right to undo an edit without due process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.170.0 (talk) 13:10, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your attempt to remove specifically the negative reviews of this movie is transparent. GabberFlasted (talk) 13:30, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thanks for this comment. What did you have in mind by "controversial pages"? I usually try to avoid them, but not always successfully. It had been eight years since I was reported at ANI. St Anselm (talk) 19:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By all means. I know I have my blind spots so I figure everyone else does too. I'd hope people call me out when I inevitably deserve it, but that never has to be aggressive or hostile.

I wasn't going to namedrop it there because it didn't need to be said that publicly. But Lugnut's departure was not pretty by any sense, and the act of leaving 'posthumous' barnstars (not just you) surely raises some kind of flag for many, especially since it left a foul taste in the mouth of most involved admins no matter where their opinions fell on the matter.

Of course, take everything I've said with a grain of salt. We all have different experiences here and my opinion is certainly colored by my experiences. I could be reading things entirely wrong for all I know. GabberFlasted (talk) 21:04, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Crimea

I do understand the neutral point of view, but the illegal Russian annexation of Crimea, has been non recognized by any non-pariah state, and under international law would be considered illegal. But I get it. 72.78.200.134 (talk) 16:05, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Non-pariah state", lol. 142.189.96.88 (talk) 13:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese people in Vietnam

Hi, yes I believe the edit I made was correct because war is war. It does not violate neutral point of view and it is a piece of non-notable information. If we don't include the information about Vietnamese comfort women here, then neither do we need to include that piece of information. It's either all in, or all out.203.166.241.41 (talk) 18:45, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reaching out. I often review recent changes to search for vandalism, and seeing the removal of cited content and the addition of a War Crimes link made me prematurely assume that the edits were vandalism. I have reverted the article to your last version before I encountered it. My apologies, and thank you for your patience. GabberFlasted (talk) 18:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
