I got the page up with the first section up for you to start•Cyberwolf•talk? 18:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- awesome! will get started. Slacker13 (talk) 01:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just Put more in for you •Cyberwolf•talk? 16:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- thanks! Let me know if I'm doing it right. Had a hard time figuring out how exactly to find instances of vandalism. Thought it would be more rampant. Slacker13 (talk) 13:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- I would recommend using special:abuselog •Cyberwolf•talk? 13:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you stepping in for me, but I think it’s best if you avoid following the link to this discussion.[edit]
I understand and greatly appreciate the impulse to come to my assistance. Nevertheless, following such a link could be perceived as a policy violation (me driving editors to the discussion who agree with me). Thank you for understanding :) FortunateSons (talk) 19:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- That being said, I am pretty new, so if this permitted by policy and I am simply unaware, feel free to tell me so I will know in the future :) FortunateSons (talk) 19:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not in this case but mass messaging people and asking for votes does. I saw the argument and how nonsensical his comments were i simply just acted on what I saw and didn't see I saw no bludgeoning, gaming or pov pushing. I saw just a little comment on the removal of an option that was would be factually inaccurate •Cyberwolf•talk? 20:06, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ahh, good to know. Then feel free to ignore my request, and thanks again for stepping in :) FortunateSons (talk) 20:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I believe he is bludgeoning the discussion by derailing and accusing people he clearly doesn’t want to talk •Cyberwolf•talk? 17:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- That’s quite possible, but let’s wait for admin feedback, I’m sure he will take a look and figure out an appropriate solution FortunateSons (talk) 18:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- 👍 •Cyberwolf•talk? 18:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- We are good, turns out the account was compromised its globally locked now •Cyberwolf•talk? 14:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah that makes sense, I was quite confused about why such an experienced editor was acting like that. Thanks again for your help FortunateSons (talk) 14:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Very interesting how why and who compromised m bitton who warned them. I recommend possibly securing your account more as I will be too •Cyberwolf•talk? 14:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- That’s a good idea, thank you FortunateSons (talk) 15:24, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
