XLinkBot (talk) 16:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply ] Jamie Marchi has received enough harassment for a script written over six years ago. The argument that she inserted her own political views into a story is made in bad faith and is simply untrue. She hasn't written an English script since 2020 and still receives death threats to this day. Please delete this section so that no further misinformation is spread.

I saw you reverting an unconstructive edit done by an IP at Aulus Plautius, the IP seems to have made other unconstructive edits on the same article. In the past, he’s changed some of the Plautius‘s to Platinum for some reason. I saw them and manually removed all of them (I may have missed a few). Just letting you know, Rodrigo Valequez^(🗣) 20:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Galebazz! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello there! Yeah, I'm aware of the templates, however you could argue I don't use them enough, so I'll keep them in mind and try to utilize them more often. Thanks for the reminder Galebazz (talk) 12:34, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've been looking through Aaravayanshwarma's edits and they seem very similar to Shawarmaquerty's along with another IP. You think they might be all operated by the same person? Dinoz1 (chat?) (he/him) 15:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, might be the same person adding their own name or maybe a small friend group... worth reporting I would say Galebazz (talk) 15:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• • Thanks, just filed an SPI. Dinoz1 (chat?) (he/him) 15:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was simply adding further clarification to who Mr McNabb was. Further down in the article it does state Mr McNabb went on several journeys with slaves, and it’s an important part of the schools history that should not be overlooked. SaveTheEdits (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Yeah, seems like I mistakenly reverted that edit, and you were being constructive! Sorry about that, my fault for not reading further. Galebazz (talk) 16:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just restored your edit to the page, and again sorry about the confusion! Galebazz (talk) 16:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI regarding the messages you restored on

Thanks! — AP 499D25 (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does that also apply to misleading editors about how many warnings you have recently received? For example, if I give a level 1 warning, and then the user goes ahead and wipes that, the next person warning them will again give a level 1 warning, which means that they will never get past the level 4 warning and will never receive a block... Galebazz (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. It's always worthwhile checking out the user's talk page history or contribution history for prior warnings or if the user has been at it vandalising Wikipedia for a few months or more. I like to choose my warning level manually based on those things, sometimes starting at 2, on some occassions giving out a 4im when there's been a long and persistent history for example. It's not really necessary to go through all four warning levels before a block can be handed out, often times I like to skip a level or two for repeat vandals, I've seen AIV reports after level 3 warnings work as well, and admins do check the history of the user talk pages for prior warnings/notices before placing a block.

Protip: A way to tell between a user talk page that's never been created, and one that's had warnings but later on been blanked, is look for a "Last edited on [date]" timestamp at the bottom of the page. Non-existent pages will never have that timestamp on the bottom, while created-and-blanked pages always do.

If you really want to, you could restore the warnings that were there before, but it's not worth edit-warring over. I've actually seen some people get blocked for constantly restoring messages or warnings that had been removed from another user's talk page. — AP 499D25 (talk) 15:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
