Happy editing! -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 15:09, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just wanted to say I don't appreciate being called out in edit summaries. I was demanding sources after your initial unsourced edit, but ended up not reverting it, but rather fixing that. And when you then removed one of the sources, you called the edit hyped up and improperly. At the time of me editing, both sources mentioned brothers on my end; it might not have been updated on your end yet. I then explained that in the revert, and even apologized if I had come across as unfriendly in said first edit. Not sure how that has anything to do with my "ego"? –LordPickleII (talk) 22:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you're embarking on this little harassment campaign against me demonstrates that you're too emotionally invested in this. Strive to do better as an editor, plain and simple. This is a live event where a batch of new details had just been released. No one is going to be 100% on-the-ball. It is to be expected that sources will change or quickly follow an unsourced edit. So much for being a self-proclaimed WikiSloth I suppose, eh? Take it down a notch and stop caring so much about something so meaningless. Rowing007 (talk) 22:54, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that many recent edits you have made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a

 → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! See

Given your recent involvement in the RFC situation, I find this message inappropriate and request that you stop contacting me.

WP:ES is not policy. I provide edit summaries for substantial changes, or for small changes where the reasoning ought to be mentioned. Virtually all of my other edits are typo fixes, amending references, or fixing formatting issues. Thanks. Rowing007 (talk) 23:24, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply

Hi Rowing007! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of COVID-19 lab leak theory several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article

Hi Shibbolethink, I'm not sure if that is an automated message, but I have only once chosen to revert the edit by Bon courage. That user has actually gone ahead and reverted my edit twice (once to my original edit and again to my reversion). I am not promoting fringe views; I am trying to achieve neutrality. I have not reverted anything further, and I have already been engaging in a discussion on the talk page, which, admittedly, is not getting very far, as the other user does not seem inclined to address the points I am raising. Rowing007 (talk) 15:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would actually encourage you to read

WP:1AM, as given the viewpoint you're taking (that it is "neutral" to describe the scientific consensus as just one of several opinions) you are unlikely to find consensus on that talk page. — Shibbolethink ^{(♔ ♕)} 16:06, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 16:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Statements like this, this, this, this, and many more of your recent interactions are verging on unacceptable, and taken as a whole show a disruptive pattern of editing. At

@ScottishFinnishRadish: what absolutely ridiculous accusations. Kindly leave me alone. I am merely defending the simple logic of accepting that the police chief's statement may be the truth.

Rowing007 (talk) 11:36, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Let me see if I can make this a little more clear for you. If the disruption on the talk page continues I will block you from the article and talk page so others won't have to waste their time and deal with your attacks. If you continue to attack other users on their talk pages for giving notifications of CTOP I will block you for personal attacks and harassment.

I notice that you changed 1999 World Rowing Championships by changing the minus signs in boat classes to n-dashes.

Hi. I recently saw you in the edits of this page and wanted to point out something that confused me. The infobox and the section labeled Box office cite two different numbers for the film's total gross: 139.5 and 136.3 million. I wasn't sure if I should make amendments or not since both numbers have references so I figured I would mention it to a more experienced editor. 166.194.204.24 (talk) 17:25, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems one of the sources may have been under-counting sales. Article has been amended to show the two amounts. Rowing007 (talk) 12:32, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. There are a couple more steps involved in proposing these articles for deletion.

• Add the {{Old prod}} tag to each article's talk page.

• Notify each article's creator and significant contributors of the PROD. I left a notice about all these deletions at:
  • Talk:India at the 2022 Asian Games#Proposed deletion of 28 Indian medalists' articles

You may find it more efficient to just direct article contributors to Talk:India at the 2022 Asian Games notice for more information as opposed to listing out all the PROD'd articles on each editor's talk page. The {{Proposed deletion notify}} template is also available as a alternative.

You didn't use edit summaries for most of your deletion-tagging. For PROD-tagging, that's critical for people with those article on their watchlists. The deletion policy explicitly requires:

• "Provide an edit summary that clearly indicates the biography has been proposed for deletion. Do not mark the edit as minor."

I removed PROD tags from 2 other articles:

• Neeraj (Rower)
  : this article had previously been proposed for deletion. PROD can only be used once.
• Arjun Award and the Padma Shri

Regards, --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 03:21, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@A. B.: Thanks for the note. I'll wait for the current PRODs to run their course and then I'll start an AfD process regarding any of the remaining articles I still feel should be deleted. Rowing007 (talk) 14:31, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, I'm writing to express concern on Rowing007 continue reedits on the wiki pages for the film 17 Again. He has repeatedly remove the information stating that it was Matthew Perry's final film before his death (which was a couple of days ago). He has done this for not only me, but others throughout the day of his death.

Although the situation is now calm with the relevant information added onto this page (quoting from the page "This was Perry's final film before his death in October 2023"), I don't know if Rowing007 will remove this relevant info. I was send a email from Wiki saying i was engaging in a "edit war", even though the blame is on Rowing007. Bluenosezulu (talk) 10:18, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see he's still doing it and it's being unproductive. I urge him to stop doing this or I'll report him.

I see that you have been warned for edit warring and tendentious editing previously on this page, but apparently it bears repeating. You are edit warring to blank content from Ashish (rower) with the false edit summary "removed irrelevant, unsourced, and unencyclopedic information". The material is not irrelevant, is not unsourced, and is not unencyclopedic. If you have issues with any specific material as presented, take it to the talk page. Continuing to blank the content is disruptive.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:34, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He has done this for eight pages of Asian Games Rowing meallists and deleted 60 per cent to 80 per cent of the sourced content.

Why do you always have to keep talking about any "irrelevant" details on Matthew Perry and 17 Again. Look, I know that 17 Again was his final film before his death and you completely added a warning saying no one is allowed to add unless there will be witnesses. So I kindly ask you to stop doing that kind of irrelevancy, remove the warning labels on 17 Again and add back "This was Matt's final film role before his death in Oct 2023" otherwise you will make Matt upset.
