Adam Hinds

You removed my reference to Hinds running for LG of MA due to lack of citation. Is that really necessary for something that is public knowledge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18F:A00:7870:6867:EFAB:509E:C8C4 (talk) 01:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Skate Australia

((Skate Australia))

Hi Cassiopeia - I'm a volunteer at Skate Australia, apologies if I have edited incorrectly. My updated information is accurate and I believed that the edits were quite constructive. Some of the existing information on the page is inaccurate and the strategic plan referenced is many years out of date and no longer exists. I can't list a source because I am the source. The only source online source for this information would be the Skate Australia website www.skateaustralia.org.au Joskates Joskates (talk) 08:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Joskates you have written to me on your talk page and my talk page. I had already replied you on your talk page. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 09:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi? I’m very confused on why you deleted my entire page, It’s currently in progress with adding citations and more info, and you just.. deleted it all? I’m trying to be understanding of any mistake I might’ve made, but I don’t want three hours of work to go down the drain. Cornmazes (talk) 00:57, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Querying revert

Hi, Cassiopeia. I was wondering if you could explain this revert? You removed for lack of a reliable source, but the content in question had 10 citations to what appear to be reliable sources. Am I missing something? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 06:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:BURDEN. Cassiopeia talk
06:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
It's not my addition, but rather another editor's, which I now see you've discussed a few sections up. Looking at your answer to them, I'm concerned here. You can't revert 6kB worth of additions because a few sentences aren't sourced. That is removal of sourced material, which, as I'm sure you know as a veteran recent change patroller, is generally considered
the policy section you cited says: Whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the material and the overall state of the article. In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. Consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed

07:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Cassiopeia, I don't think you're following me here. These are not my edits. You should be able to see that from how they... aren't. I know what Huggle is. I know what RCP is. I'm not nearly as active an RCPer as you, but it is something I do from time to time, and I have been doing it for longer than you've had this account. That's not me trying to pull "seniority", to be clear; I'm trying to get you to understand that this is me, a fellow experienced Wikipedian, coming to you with concerns about a revert you have made. I am not some newbie asking "Why did you revert my edit?"
You cannot revert 6kB of mostly-good content because a few sentences are unsourced. That is a basic, basic aspect of how reverting works on Wikipedia. And using rollback and Huggle is not an excuse. That's a basic principle of using any semi-automated tool on Wikipedia. You take full responsibility for every edit you make. The fact that edits are stored in the history is not enough, as the same could be said of any revert. There is no policy or guideline that justifies the revert you made. I need to know that you understand that. Do you? Because if you don't understand that, you need to hand in your rollbacker bit. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 07:29, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, I see, that are not your edits but your have questions. Since you understand what HG is then you know how the edits were reverted. Since you are an experienced editor then kindly help up on counter vandalism for that would be appreciated for you know there is so much work that help is needed. Cassiopeia talk 07:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
There is a warning at the top of
should have fixed it. Instead, you gave them a generic response that didn't apply, and then gave me that same kind of response twice.
Do you not see the issue here? I am seriously troubled about your fitness to be a recent change patroller, let alone a trainer of other RCPers, both in terms of your use of rollback/Huggle and the way you communicate with users who question your reverts. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed
] (she/they) 08:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, Likewise, and I have responded and as mentioned, since you have time and experienced do help in counter vandalism work as you didnt reply. Anyway, you have said what you said and I have nothing to add. stays safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 08:15, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Since there have been communication issues up till now, I am going to be very transparent and direct: If I see another thread where someone challenges a flawed revert you made, and you give them a generic response like you gave Cornmazes and me, I will ask at
WP:AN/I that your rollback access be revoked. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed
] (she/they) 08:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, You have said that already, in a different way. stay safe Tamzin and do help on counter vandalism as you have time and experience to do so. Cassiopeia talk 08:24, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

How was my edit vandalizing ? Tsarukyan was born in Georgia and it is a fact. Why did you undo my edit ? How should it be done better — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bashiachukaa (talk • contribs) 09:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Bashiachukaa Good day. Just check the source again. My apologies. Mistakes are mine. I think I open a number of mma related websites as I always do and when I checked your source the first time, I clicked on wrong tab and got wrong info. Once again my apologies. Thank you for letting me know. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Joe Rogan shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being

WP:BRD. The content has been removed by more than one user. Please revert your edit and discuss on the talk page. JOEBRO64
00:07, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

TheJoebro64 I heard you. Pls do not removed well-sourced and significant content for that is disruptive. Info can be easily moved to other section and they have had. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
The issue is not the sourcing. It's that the content falls outside the article's scope. It's not significant to Rogan's biography in the slightest. It definitely warrents a mention in The Joe Rogan Experience article, but not the Joe Rogan article. And re: disruption—you're the one who's being disruptive, hence why I warned you about edit-warring. 00:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
TheJoebro64 It is disruptive to remove well-sourced content and I not even give you a warning for removing the info a few times yet you give ma edit warring. Secondly we can add in the info in 'brief", as I did (just one short sentence) JR info as there is a section of Spotify deal and all the current racial slur and covid info and we can add the removal of episodes in longer version in JRE article. It is always how it is done, a long info in main article and short info in related article. Also we can make a "main page" link form JR's JRE info to JRE article. Stay safe.

Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our

AFC participants
; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at

WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk

Hello Cassiopeia I hope you have been well there have been some very good fights as of late hope you have been enjoying them.

MMA guidelines

Hi Cassiopeia,

I can't seem to find the 'Wikipedia MMA guidelines'? If possible I'd like to discuss that rule wherever its appropriate to do so. I genuinely don't understand why flags can be used for boxing, wrestling, submission grappling etc but specifically not MMA? I believe it makes it easier to identify particular fighters and it can provide a lot of context in regards to their careers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boxingfan27 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
