/wave

i have no idea what I'm doing so i'm trying to learn as I go through reading the edit log

probably not the best idea

hopefully i can contribute to the wealth of information here. DarmaniLink (talk) 04:57, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, DarmaniLink! You should add user warning templates on the user's talk page, not their user page. Also, they should be substituted: ((subst:uw-vandalism4im)) instead of ((uw-vandalism4im)). Make sure to indicate the page vandalized as well: ((subst:uw-vandalism4im|1=[[page name here]])). Thanks, Leonidlednev (talk) 16:01, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. DarmaniLink (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, remember to sign your comments with "~~~~", and use the edit summary. Leonidlednev (talk) 16:23, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I'm still fairly new to this and used to the site doing most of the work for me. Probably wasn't always as convenient as it is now, where it is convenient.

Thanks. DarmaniLink (talk) 16:26, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey DarmaniLink! Thank you for your report at AIV. Make sure you sign your comment with ~~~~. Thanks! Tails Wx 01:43, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I remembered with my mind but not my hands.

Will do when i catch another. DarmaniLink (talk) 01:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Thanks for your anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Tails Wx 01:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know that you're always welcome to Wikipedia. I understand if you're new here (so am I), so enjoy your day! ☭MasterWolf-Æthelwulf☭ (=^._.^= ∫) 18:42, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, tea for you too Y DarmaniLink (talk) 19:09, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Saisho Atsushi to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at Pages needing translation into English, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:15, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I'm currently doing. There's just a lot to translate and its giving me a headache. :) That's why there's the UC/IU tag DarmaniLink (talk) 19:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Saisho Atsushi. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has too many problems of language or grammar. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of aftershocks of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of aftershocks of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

On 29 September 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Dianne Feinstein, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:30, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Iban people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Betong. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi DarmaniLink. I saw your edit at User talk:138.219.250.5 encouraging him to log in. He won't be logging in because he is globally banned by the WMF and all his known sockpuppets have been blocked too. If you want to know the sordid details, it's all documented here: Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Belteshazzar. Anyway, he has form for trying to canvas unsuspecting people into helping him. So far nobody has fallen for it but I wanted to let you know that he might try to canvas you, either using that IP or whatever IP he alights on next. If he does then please be aware of who he is and that he is up to no good. Thanks. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know, thanks. Went with AGF and all and thought it was someone who just needed a little help. Though admittedly, how much they knew about the website did seem off. DarmaniLink (talk) 04:22, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DarmaniLink,

I saw your WP:WAIT request for the MeidasTouch Page. There has now been multiple sources stating the need for this change and the article in question has now been inaccurate since July. Can you please help facilitate the updating of the page to reflect the accuracy? .

In the past week there are lots of organizations reporting on MeidasTouch's role as a news organization, yet Wikipedia has been slow to catch up with reality. The page as is, is referring to a political action organization that simply does not exist.

https://themessenger.com/politics/trump-gag-order-blatant-violation-judge-engoron

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-is-about-to-be-ripped-to-shreds-by-new-york-bank-fraud-trial-judge?ref=home?ref=home

https://www.al.com/politics/2023/10/that-viral-video-of-tommy-tuberville-falling-down-stairs-its-not-what-you-think.html

Even the MeidasTouch website about us page linked to on the wikipedia page links to a dead link -- because it links to an organization that no longer exists.

This is the up-to-date accurate page showcasing the up-to-date info: https://www.meidastouch.com/about-us Bam21 (talk) 15:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

are there any articles that are about the dissolution of medias touch? The al source implies it no longer exists but since its not really about it per se it's a bit shakey as a source for that purpose DarmaniLink (talk) 15:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DarmaniLink (great username!). I noticed this addition to Talk:MeidasTouch: [1]. I'm assuming your comment is in the wrong location, but just wanted to check with you about it. --Pinchme123 (talk) 22:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit bad at making my points, but it was in the right place. What I said was kind of hyperbolic, but i was trying to make a point to the IP that he needed to discuss it rather than edit war, and that basically of the consensus was that inclusion made the article worse, then it shouldn't be. Thanks for the concern though. DarmaniLink (talk) 23:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, it was from 2 years ago as well, my brain completely misread the date. WP:EUI moment. Oops :X DarmaniLink (talk) 23:49, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I was just so confused because of your recent addition to the COI edit request discussion as well. All the best! --Pinchme123 (talk) 00:27, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, genuinely thank you for pointing that out. For whatever reason, it didn't even occur to me. I'll be more prudent to look at dates now and not just assume its something automatic, thanks for pointing out my mistake. Genuinely. DarmaniLink (talk) 00:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mahato is surname which is used by several caste peoples like Kudmi,Koiri, Dhanuk, kumhar, bedia, tharu, dusadh etc. That picture is not true. Mahato of Bangladedh doesnot mean it is kudmi mahato, I am sure it is different mahato. Someone provide fake pictures of Kudmi Mahato for defame Kudmi Mahato caste. Please kindly remove that image from Kudmi Mahato page. शिवराज महतो (talk) 22:39, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know anything about this topic, but what about the image is defamatory, and how do you know it isn't representative of them? DarmaniLink (talk) 22:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, DarmaniLink. I've hidden your edit here, including your edit summary. Of course that wasn't for any fault of yours (and I've said so in the log), but purely to hide the nasty "username" you were (very properly) reporting. Bishonen | tålk 12:06, 31 October 2023 (UTC).[reply]

No worries in the slightest, if anything, thank you for doing exactly that. DarmaniLink (talk) 12:07, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DarmaniLink. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

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 trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 19:49, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thanks! DarmaniLink (talk) 22:39, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User DarmaniLink used the rollback tool to revert to an obvious troll-edit to the page [F4 Phantom|McDonnell_Douglas_F-4_Phantom_II] from my reversion to the most recent good edit. You should probably consider revoking that rollback button at the least. 2601:8C:980:6D20:64DE:89BB:8A14:6C6E (talk) 01:20, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was getting used to a new tool, aplogies. The tool reverted the most recent edit when I had the vandalism targeted. Your edit must have loaded right as I was reverting the vandalism edit (it updates in real-time). DarmaniLink (talk) 01:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! Fair enough, that makes sense. An understandable mistake, then. 2601:8C:980:6D20:64DE:89BB:8A14:6C6E (talk) 05:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you're interested, go ahead and make an account :)

The community would love to have you.

Of course, entirely up to you. DarmaniLink (talk) 06:05, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please help us to revise the important section of the subject article, instead of reverting it.

The Section reverted by you has a pletora of solid references. If you disagree with the neutrality of this Section or the use of certain references, please argue in the talk page of this article.

The removal of well-researched and well-referenced parts of a Wikipedia article constitute vandalism. 2601:646:9A00:6BB0:3DD1:B109:8531:2BC1 (talk) 00:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, that section is not only horribly written, filled with WP:WTW and it's in blatant violation of NPOV. The onus is on you to justify your edit, other editors have reverted you as well. DarmaniLink (talk) 00:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My bad; I did not notice that the edit I reverted was itself reverting previous edits. I was wary of introducing new emphasis on membership of an ethnoreligious group (along the lines of MoS on biographies § Context) without consensus, but this does appear to be supported by consensus for this article. Again, my apologies, and thanks for letting me know. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:47, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries :)

Looking at the edit history, the change was a few weeks old, which I didn't realize either. Sorry if I came off as snippy DarmaniLink (talk) 02:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine! I'm replying on the talk discussion. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 02:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
