Welcome!

Hello, ThatIPEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I greatly appreciate your efforts to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

If you find yourself cleaning up vandalism frequently, you might be interested in patrolling recent changes.

For the WikiProject on vandalism cleanup, see the Counter-Vandalism Unit.

To make vandalism reverts easier you can ask for the rollback feature to be enabled for your registered Wikipedia account.

Below are more pages related to vandalism:

• Cleaning up vandalism
• Anti-vandalism tool
• Administrator intervention against vandalism

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place ((helpme)) before the question on this page. Again, welcome!

Re your post at WP:COIN,lease see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, and perhaps this on threading We generally try not to disturb the chronological flow of a thread by adding to a post that has already been replied to. The easy way to keep things clear is to add to the end of the thread, without going back to edit or expand earlier posts. Possibly (talk) 04:44, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

@Possibly: Sorry about that, ok, I will read through the talk page guidelines, thank you!

[1] Is this a joke? That was already closed for being obviously retaliatory harassment. IHateAccounts (talk) 15:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

@IHateAccounts: It might be, but either way, it seems like the person who reported you forgot to place the template. I just did it for them. That's all ThatIPEditor (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

One more thing, I posted the notice before it got closed, and also give you a heads-up ThatIPEditor (talk) 20:48, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello ThatIPEditor -- I'm confused as to why you tagged Draft:Cheriyam Hills as WP:G11 (promotional), as it did not seem to fit the criteria at all. I'm not seeing any other speedy criterion that applies in draftspace, either. Please reread the description before requesting deletion again. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:50, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: Ah yes. That must have been an accident. I usually tag them in batches, where I open all of the pages that is G11, then, I would tag them all together. I must have opened it accidentally. I can assure you that would not happen again. Thank you! ThatIPEditor (talk) 18:52, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm guessing Draft:Jacinto Subías (now moved to correct title) was the same problem? Please do be careful with batching; it must be very disconcerting and off-putting for an inexperienced editor to be working on a viable article that isn't promotional and get a speedy tag for no reason. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 08:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: Must have been. In the future, I will use two windows, and dragging the ones that needs to be deleted into the other one. Also, I'l read the content more closely, in case if it was not the same issue. ThatIPEditor ^{Talk · Contribs} 08:25, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello ThatIPEditor, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:YOUNGGJNONi, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:37, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

No problemo. Sorry for the late response. Just a note to whoever sees this, it still ends getting g11 deleted. ThatIPEditor (talk) 12:59, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! I noticed that you reverted an edit by IP 86.20.255.109 on this page with a note that it was for unexplained content removal, but the IP did state their reason ("rv spam link") and they were also correct in identifying the spam. Please be careful undoing edits, especially with automated or semi-automated tools. Thanks much! NekoKatsun (nyaa) 23:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

@NekoKatsun: Ahh okie. Looking in the edit, seemed like that the IP just removed the spam links, and the things that the spam links are about. Yeah, I origionally thought that the IP was removing citations. Thanks though! ThatIPEditor (talk) 23:54, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Dog you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Wretchskull -- Wretchskull (talk) 19:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The article Dog you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Dog for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Please take care when marking edits as vandalism, as you did on the Superman: Red Son article here. The edit you reverted was not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. For reference, in the animated adaptation of Red Son, the Bizarro clone is referred to as Superior Man. - Aoidh (talk) 01:08, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello ThatIPEditor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Icee Dan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. GedUK  16:09, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
