172.81.80.5 (talk) 21:23, 27 February 2017 (UTC)I removed the content as I felt it was not the correct information. The person who created the content in the wiki is not providing the correct data since they want to promote the film by falsifying information.[reply]
Please be sure to add that information to the edit summary when saving the edit. This edit summary is saved in the pages history and can be viewed by anyone reviewing this history. Without a summary explaining an edit it can be nigh impossible to determine why an edit was made - this is especially the case when a large amount of existing content is removed.

I have never edited or changed wiki but you sent me a message saying I had edited dwight gayles page.
Your IP address, 86.175.9.211, was used on February 15 to edit the page Dwight Gayle. IP Addresses are often not statically assigned to a single user though, so it is quite possible that another person previously utilized your current IP address to edit Wikipedia. If this is the case, feel free to ignore the warning message altogether. Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)15:26, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Johnny Strong Wikipedia Page
Hello, I am the manager for Johnny Strong. Someone keeps changing his birth year to 1974, which is false information. I have tried to change it, but someone keeps changing it back. Maybe it would be best if we deleted it all together.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teamjstrong (talk • contribs) 19:41, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Due to everyone being able to edit Wikipedia vandalism can be a hassle to deal with at times, though usually the vast majority of it is reverted in minutes. It looks like this particular user is somewhat more hell-bent on changing the page compared to the usual hit-and-run vandalism. Thankfully that editor seems to have the same IP address every day so i went ahead and blocked that address from editing for the next two weeks. With some luck that will be enough for them to lose interest in the page. Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)22:15, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry for my apparent outburst. I just think uneducated people shouldn't be allowed near intellectual sites such as this one. Please don't ban me

Hi there! I just wanted to say I've seen you around doing some fantastic AV work and I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you that it's great to have sage folks like you for us newer guys to look up to. On a slightly related topic, it looks like you are able to do more than the packaged warns in Huggle although your config looks normal, any pro-tips? Thanks in advance!

Vandalism patrol is really wonderful in the sense that it doesn't matter when you start with it. Aside from me being able to reminiscence about the "good old days" where reverting vandalism required 5-10 clicks each and the patrol tools were no more sophisticated than "Scan if someone added 'poop' in a diff" anyone can do the same thing. If anything it's always nice to see other editors who also don't mind playing whack-a-mole game to keep things squeaky clean around here!
As for the packaged warnings - is there any specific warning or diff you are referring to? Initially I thought you were not aware of the dropdown next to the warning buttons but I see now that you are obviously using those as well. If you can give me an example of an edit that looks special i might be able to shed some light on the magic in there. (If there is any magic of course)Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)22:36, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for your feedback! In my limited experience, I can say that I don't miss pawing through the recent changes feed ^_^ So, in looking for the example, I was thinking of this, then I went into HG, and there it was.. so that's embarrassing. It's just not one that I use a lot so that's probably why it must of been magic!
Also, I'm sure you know a lot more about this than I so any feedback would be welcome, but I got into playing with the Huggle Configuration (cautiously) and I found that you can add more warns and magic! Oh, and your talk page inspired me to head over to Huggle Proposed Improvements page, so I look forward to becoming more involved with the HG folks. Although no matter what improvements are added, I doubt any of them would be able to beat you to a revert Drewmutt(^ᴥ^)talk23:11, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A recent RfC has redefined how articles on schools are evaluated at AfD. Specifically, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist.
Cookie blocks should be deployed to the English Wikipedia soon. This will extend the current autoblock system by setting a cookie for each block, which will then autoblock the user after they switch accounts under a new IP.
A bot will now automatically place a protection template on protected pages when admins forget to do so.
User JJMC89 had no previous issue with article notability, making several edits. nd only after edit conflicts, schedules the article for deletion discussion. This is clearly COI. This needs to be removed from deletion discussion. Rakanishu666 (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Rakanishu666: Copyediting is something that can be done fairly quickly without looking at the included references, so i wouldn't consider this a direct mark of quality for the article. The deletion rationale itself is a valid one and multiple editors have already weighted in on the AFD discussion. I can see no clear indication that this nomination was obviously disruptive or malicious so i don't see a reason to consider this AFD halfway.

Please could you kindly remove the above image from en.Wikipedia, because that 2012 upload now contains outdated and inaccurate details, and it's in the wrong place.
Aye, i am aware that is possible but i tend to reserve those for the most severe cases of vandalism. IP's can represent multiple users so occasionally one or two warnings are enough to stem the influx of vandalism for a while without having to resort to a block. Besides that Huggle automatically selects the next warning level when an edit is reverted - its possible to override this but doing so tends to take more time than just reverting twice or trice.

It's very unlikely for a IPv6 if the ISP is following the rules but I commend your tolerance. I've been using Twinkle, must look in to Huggle. Kendall-K1 (talk) 00:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Re: European dragon edit.
My apologies - I only made the change to demonstrate to my students in real-time how anyone can edit Wikipedia. Was about to change it right back but you were faster. Sorry for the inconvenience.
132.177.238.71 (talk) 22:18, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose this edit earlier today had the same purpose? If this is the case, may I recommend the public Sandbox or your current IP addresses talk page for these demonstrations? Edits in the main article space tend to be monitored in real-time so demonstration edits such as these generates some extra work for the patrols currently on duty. Further down the road these edits will pop up for editors who have the test page watchlisted and thus they equally spend some time checking the now reverted demonstration edit. It's not a massive waste of time by any stretch of the word but well, it's not the most productive way one can spend their time either.
On a secondary note: Might i ask why these demonstrations are held? Is this just a quick and actually fairly common demonstration to explain why no-one should just blindly copy content from Wikipedia, or is tgis part of a school course such as one of the currently running school and university projects?

The reason why I removed so much content is because Ljubiša Diković was never charged with war crimes before ICTY. He was not charged before any national court by the state prosecutors. The only charge against him (which was dropped) was started by NGOs, some of which are used as a source in the removed content. Those NGOs were also court ordered to pay damages to Dikovic after he sued them. The content I removed also seemed very POV. Hope that explains it. 91.148.95.226 (talk) 19:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there 91.148.95.226,
Please be sure to add this kind of information in the edit summary when removing a large chunk of content. If the rationale is hard to summarize, leave a rationale such as "Removing content - see talk page for rationale" and post the explanation on the article's talk page. Without some form of explanation removing a large chunk of text will be indistinguishable from vandalism for most people. Excirial(Contact me,Contribs)19:32, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
