Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/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. TribunalMan (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at WISC-TV, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:47, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Please don't remove deadlinks

See WP:KDL: Do not delete a citation just because it has been tagged with for a long time. Thanks! Schazjmd (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. Thank you for the reminder. OrangeGarfield (talk) 09:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Warning vandals

Hi OrangeGarfield,

I see you've been reverting lots of vandalism recently: thank-you! Clearing out deliberate bad edits helps keep the quality of Wikipedia high.

I do notice, though, that you've not been systematically warning vandals after you revert them. Leaving warning messages has two important benefits: firstly, it explains to editors who have been vandalising what they have been doing wrong, and encourages them to stop rather than continuing to vandalise more articles; and secondly, it lets serial vandals be identified and stopped by administrative intervention if necessary. I see you're using Twinkle, which has a built-in feature for warning vandals. There is a button / menu entry named "warn" which brings up a list of levels and messages.

There's more information about why this is important and advice on how to warn vandals here.

Thanks again for your edits, and best wishes, Wham2001 (talk) 09:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Wham2001. Sorry about that, thank you for the reminder. I will do that from now. Thanks for the tip! OrangeGarfield (talk) 09:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi OrangeGarfield. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 27 November. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 06:06, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much! OrangeGarfield (talk) 04:21, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi OrangeGarfield, and thanks for volunteering to revert vandalism with Huggle. I've reviewed your use of rollback for the month that you had access to this feature, and your edits generally look fine. When using Huggle, please specify a reason for reverting edits as often as possible (through the drop-down menu or keyboard shortcuts on the Revert and Warn function). It's always better to be more specific than to leave a revert potentially unexplained. Keep up the great work! — Newslinger talk 18:52, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
