Hello, I'm ItsCheck. An edit that you recently made to List of most-viewed YouTube videos seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Just to let you know, all view counts should be updated together. Thanks.

Per WP:DTTR a user warning template probably shouldn’t have been used.--173.23.45.183 (talk) 01:31, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ItsCheck It is impractical to update all 30 at once, so I have flagged the entire section as having its accuracy compromised and needing updated, since you returned two-year-old data to the list. —C.Fred (talk) 02:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hue people

I saw your PROD tag. I can't argue with your logic and you're probably right.

Just to be on the safe side, I left a neutrally-worded notification at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Vietnam#Proposed for deletion: Hue people.

Thanks for caring about our article integrity. If this is bogus, I'm glad you're getting rid of it.

@A. B. An IP had suggested speedy deletion with the notation of "Troll post" [1], which I wasn't convinced was the case. However, I can make the case that a good-faith effort to verify it fails. —C.Fred (talk) 18:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree. I'm just being cautious.

Given its addition to deletion sorting for Vietnam + the notice at WP:VIETNAM, if there's anything to this, we'll find out.

—A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 20:02, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at a translated version of the Vietnamese article for this province:

https://vi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thừa_Thiên_Huế

it seems in the "Culture" section that someone has tried to make Hue culture seem different (I'm referring to Hue, the city).

I've heard of ethnic minorities in Vietnam but they were up in the mountains, not in a major coastal city.

The article says they're about 1 million Hue people. Coincidentally, that's about the population of the province.

You caught one!

—A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 20:11, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@A. B. Yes, I saw the articles we have on Hue, the city, and the province of (Thua Thien?) Hue. But conflating the province with a people seemed...odd. Not malicious on the surface, but for sure odd. —C.Fred (talk) 20:35, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Full protection removal

Hi,

Thought I'd drop note as I just reduced the protection level on the redirect Bryan Domani from full protect. The policies (not to mention practical execution) seem slightly in disagreement as to whether I should have asked in advance or not. Rather than go for needless bureaucracy I left the change in, but if you disagree please reimplement (consider this agreement on my side to allay any wheel-war aspect) and let me know.

You may consider doing a sitewide block instead of a pblock and disable account creation- it looks like WP:LTA/HOY who is globally banned to me. #prodraxis ^connect 12:41, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm offenended

Your insulting me. How can my edits BE DISRUPTIVE? THE INFORMATION NOT CORRECT. I needed to add information that wasn't already there. That whynn is doing my head in. You can't insult me? FlagPies23 (talk) 21:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FlagPies23 My message had nothing to do with your edits and everything to do with the insults you directed at another user. —C.Fred (talk) 21:16, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

4TheWhynn offended me and insulted me I'm not ok with that. He was also telling me what to do. I didn't disrupt anything on Collingwood Football Club. I added previous information that wasn't included in previous revisions. 😭😭 FlagPies23 (talk) 21:21, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FlagPies23 I don't see any evidence of an insult. He was telling you what to do in the sense of providing you advice on how to edit in compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. —C.Fred (talk) 21:22, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whyyyy. Ehhh there is to much rules with this wikipedia. I'm going to quit editing soon. Getting a warning for basically nothing. That's overuse of ADMINISTRATOR powers FlagPies23 (talk) 21:26, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FlagPies23 Please look again at this messages you left 4TheWynne and tell me that you don't see a personal attack in it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Im expressing my feelings I can't help it FlagPies23 (talk) 05:50, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@FlagPies23 In a collaborative environment, you need to be conscious of how your actions and words affect others. You do not get carte blanche to express your feelings. —C.Fred (talk) 11:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you reverse my change I just did?

Hi please explain why you just reversed my change I made on wix.com? I didn’t see anything wrong with it and I had redid the entire article!? 2600:100D:B021:4BBF:2435:96A9:2C8F:2033 (talk) 03:16, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really worked hard at this too so I would appreciate you undoing what I just did please thanks. 2600:100D:B021:4BBF:2435:96A9:2C8F:2033 (talk) 03:17, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And that in and of itself was suspect. The big red flag was the change of the URL. —C.Fred (talk) 03:17, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Um I must have missed that but the change I made was rewording the entire article so at least keep that part if I may? 2600:100D:B021:4BBF:2435:96A9:2C8F:2033 (talk) 03:20, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the errors in one spot, all of your edits are called into question, so we'd have to really go through everything with a fine-tooth comb. —C.Fred (talk) 03:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I’m cool with that I just worked really hard at this so I greatly appreciate your assistance. 2600:100D:B021:4BBF:2435:96A9:2C8F:2033 (talk) 03:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
