Me and you

I may not be such a new editor anymore, but regardless of how my time on Wikipedia is measured, please don't eat me and try to assume good faith. Thank you!

Response

I apologize, I may not be punctual in replying to your question/comment. I'll try.

Did I revert your edit?

If I reverted your edit and you believe I was wrong, please create a new topic and we will calmly¹ discuss the problem. Though I strive not to, I may make hasty reversions. I'm working on it.

¹I hope :)

Good evening. I noticed you reverted an edit I made removing a well known inaccurate piece of Albanian nationalistic propaganda in an article about Georgios Kountouriotis, a Greek admiral. I *did* explain why I removed the content, in the summary. You aren't stopping vandalism, you are inadvertently allowing ridiculous propaganda. I can explain in detail why and how the previous editor is wrong, but removing my edit in whole without dialogue is not the proper way of doing things. Please add my edit back again, this is dangerous misinformation. 2A02:587:5467:8400:C9BE:4407:A950:41BD (talk) 17:25, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for explaining why you're upset instead of just reverting my edit. I have added your edit back again. Thanks again. JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 18:02, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to Sarah Lawrence College appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Meters (talk) 05:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oh, right. I figured that having a book with an article would qualify the entry, but looking back, I understand. Thanks for reverting it, and sorry. JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 05:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not a big deal. It's a common problem. Meters (talk) 06:01, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For signing my guestbook! The signature just came to me while I was half asleep 😂 Yours is pretty good also, and would have fit me in my early WP days, the mistakes hahaha. Thanks again and cheers! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (my edits)} 14:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

why is it being deleted?? Do you know? 2001:569:5953:B100:CC2B:FD36:50D8:28E9 (talk) 07:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I looked at the notice on the page, and it stated the following:

"Not a significant event with lasting notability. See WP:NNEWS, particularly WP:LASTING and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE.

Essentially, all this is was a very small riot with several arrests, and a subsequent short-lived social media storm with apparent mass hysteria and/or people posting made-up accounts for 'likes'. (proposed by Bastun)"

You could leave a message on the article talk page or that user's talk page if you'd like. Also, keep in mind that it's not being deleted, it was just a suggestion by one user. Thanks! JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 07:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! I'm Belbury. Your recent edit(s) to the page Memory conformity appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now.

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. Belbury (talk) 09:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Belbury Hi! In that edit, I was cleaning up the previous edit. It had said something like, "It's sometimes the Mandela Effect", so I cleaned it up to say, "It is sometimes known as the Mandela effect. I wasn't actually sure if it was true, I was just copyediting. In any case, thanks for removing that if it's not true–I'm certainly not a scholar on the subject, just a copyeditor. Thanks!

All good, I read it as you consciously and significantly changing the meaning of the sentence in the process, and wasn't sure where you were coming from on that.

If this article's on your watchlist, the Sometimes it is the mandela effect though line is just recurring vandalism, it's a joke from a YouTube video that's been added repeatedly since 2017. Belbury (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah, it had come up on my vandalism filter on the Recent Changes page, but I wasn't sure if it was vandalism, so I just reformatted it. Thanks for the info! JohnLaurensAnthonyRamos333 (correct me if I'm wrong) 17:15, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
