Hello!!!

Since I welcomed you at your old account, I'll continue with the tradition! Glad to have you around by whatever name you go by. -- Dolotta (talk) 23:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there

hi--Thatphatguy (talk) 14:14, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not an edit war.

Kirbanzo seems convinced this is. They even left an unwarranted warning on my page, and I'm afraid they might report me as well. Can you please advise them that the other IP involved is purely disruptive? Thanks in advance. 2601:644:877F:F6D8:B870:F404:9E8B:539F (talk) 23:17, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your rude comment.

Please refrain from leaving abusive comments on my talk page, you have been reported. I would much appreciate you not leaving such abusive and slanderous comments. Kerrylaw61 (talk) 23:47, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kerrylaw61, I did not intend to leave "abusive" comments on your page. I was warning you due to your vandalism on articles. You inserted biased remarks and insults against the mentioned company without reliable source citing. I believe that my warning was correct, and non-abusive. RealSanix (talk) 00:05, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I cited the correct sources. You are just oblivious to actually reading. Kerrylaw61 (talk) 01:20, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Using template messages

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. —Aranya (talk) 13:27, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019

Hello, I'm Gaelan. I noticed that in this edit to Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gaelan 💬✏️ 16:48, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, you reverted the vandalism right as I hit the revert button, so I ended up reverting you instead. My bad. Gaelan 💬✏️ 16:49, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :) RealSanix (talk) 16:53, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Professional tractor

Please do not introduce inappropriate pages, such as Professional tractor, to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 20:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Rosguill I was not intending to vandalize or hoax, but I do understand why you deleted the page. Humor should be left out of the mainspace or put into Uncyclopedia instead, even if it is just a silly redirect. RealSanix (talk) 12:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping. I understand that you weren't trying to do any harm, but obviously-fake joke redirects do fall under the relatively broad category of "hoax". In hindsight, the automatic G3 notice above is a bit more strongly worded than what this deserved. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 15:35, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Plip!

Plip!

Editing the April Fools page early, are we? Now I have to open up Other Pranks early >:( —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 06:25, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Moonythedwarf Trouted again! I am glad to know that I made a mark on the 2020 fool's. Whenever disputes arise over wording, match-alls work well. Thanks! RealSanix (talk) 17:32, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello RealSanix, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. This applies to Wikipedia pages too. Don't copy them around without providing proper attribution. Thank you. —moonythedwarf (Braden N.) 00:58, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@moonythedwarf Thank you for the message. I see that I may have gone too far with April Fools, as WP pages have copyright restrictions and I jokingly spammed a random Wikipedia page without thinking about copyright. Apologies. My

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

collection is growing, for better or for worse. RealSanix (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Careful, please

Hi there, please be careful when adding or restoring potentially defamatory content about living people. A non-neutrally-worded, poorly-written statement about the article subject does not belong in the article, and potentially defamatory content must be removed. See WP:BLP for guidance. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:15, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cyphoidbomb I'm sorry, I was going through recent changes and changing articles rather quickly without thinking too much about it. Would the source count as gossip? I just saw that the source was removed by the user themselves and decided to add it back, as it is entirely possible that he was accused of harassment or assault. Thank you for checking. RealSanix (talk) 19:20, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We have to be extraordinarily careful when adding content like this. The content added presents a single opinion about a negative event that could be defamatory to the article subject. Since Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia, we would endeavor to provide a balanced perspective on any significant issue. Since there is no detail other than "Person A accused Person B of something", it certainly doesn't give us a chance to write anything neutral. (As a minor issue, the URL doesn't resolve.) Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, also a slight misinterpretation on my part; I thought the editor who added the content removed it, then you restored the whole thing. I see now that you restored the reference. My bad. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind?

Honestly, I don't blame you for the warning template, but I'm sure you can understand the frustration at vandalism having been missed for the past two-and-a-half years. – Pee Jay 16:24, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:PeeJay: I get it. I didn't know the context, just saw your edit summary. It's all good. realsanix (Hello!) 16:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, cheers Sanix. – Pee Jay 16:49, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
