Happy editing! Gab4gab (talk) 14:28, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

I noticed you removed several citations from Pocomoke High School. In one case you indicated the links were dead. I've reverted those edits because we leave dead link references in place as an aid to editors attempting to find the original source, possibly on an archive, or a replacement source that may be found in a related location. Dead links can be tagged with a template - see: {{Dead link}} and guidance at WP:KDL. If you were removing citations for other reason please provide an explanation in your edit summary. Thanks. Gab4gab (talk) 14:42, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello thank you I have become interested in becoming a wikipedia editor so thank you for the tips. Sorry about the bad edits. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

November 2021

Hello Wolf369, you recently made changes to Pocomoke High School with an edit summary indicating your source was the principal. I've reverted your edit. Wikipedia content is based on published sources, which allows for verification. Feel free to make your changes again if you can cite a reliable published source supporting your edit. Thanks. Gab4gab (talk) 01:03, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

You should be citing sources in the article rather than the edit summary. Gab4gab (talk) 05:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 17:45, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Adoption

Hey! I noticed that you're looking to be adopted by another user. While it isn't necessarily the same as adoption, I'd recommend enabling the new user homepage. You will most likely already have a mentor assigned to you (similar to an adoptee), however if you don't mind I'd like for you to be my mentee (As long as your mentor that's pre-assigned to you is alright with it). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah that would be great I will contact my current mentor about it and let you know! SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Alright sounds good! I just happened to notice you undoing an IP user's non-constructive edit while going through my recent changes to look for vandalism. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I play on becoming a member of the counter vandalism unit thing because I want to help defend Wikipedia from vandalism. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:05, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Neat! You don't have to become a member of the CVU to defend Wikipedia from vandalism, however you can if you want. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:07, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Mhm I hate to ask this but is there any other way I could contact you other then wikipedia? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

At the moment no. Normally Discord is another way however I'm unable to access it for the time being. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Why are you asking? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I dislike public conversations as I am relatively shy. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah ok. Wikipedia is my preferred method of communication for things regarding Wikipedia for a multitude of reasons. My Discord username (and tag) are part of my signature below the link to my talk page. You can send me a friend request now, however I won't accept it for a while. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok thanks. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

No problem! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:23, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

If I may ask how would you mentor me? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@SkyeWolf369: I would do my best to answer any questions you may have and provide assistance with editing if you ever need it. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:41, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah okay very interesting I look forward to this then. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 19:47, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Heya if you are still on I just wanna know why wont you be able to accept the discord friend request for a while? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 02:17, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I'm unable to tell you since it is due to some personal reasons. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:46, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah ok is there any way I can contact you by email possibly? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 14:48, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately email is also out of the question for 2 reasons. 1. My email contains my real name so I wouldn't reply to any of them since I'd prefer to keep my real name private and 2. I"m unable to access it for the time being for similar personal reasons. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Dang that sucks. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 14:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I actually have a question for you. How would I be able to get rollbacker permissions as it seems useful for undoing vandalism. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 14:53, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Also why did you pick me of all people to mentor? All I did was just rollback a vandalism edit. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:03, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

To answer your first question, I recommend reading WP:ROLLBACK. For your second question, there's no particular reason. I just noticed you reverted vandalism and that you were a new user looking for adoption and I always like helping out new users who appear to want to stay on Wikipedia. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I just want to clarify then you want to become my mentor and not adopt me? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:32, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Sort of. They're very similar in their purpose. So in a way, by becoming your mentor I'm also adopting you. The page describing what the adopt a user program is for says this, "The Adopt-a-user program is designed to help new and inexperienced users by pairing them with more experienced Wikipedians. These editors (referred to as adopters or mentors) will "adopt" newer users, guiding them along the way as they learn about Wikipedia and its various aspects." This is essentially what the mentorship program does, however you're assigned a mentor automatically and you can ask your mentor questions via an interface that will automatically post the question to their talk page. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

So a mentor is automatically chosen but you get to choose who adopts you? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:37, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes. However, the mentor you are given is chosen from a list (which is located here) so you will probably get someone who can help you still. THe mentorship program is part of WP:Growth Team features. If you have any questions about how it works I'm sure you could ask them at WP:TEA and have them answered. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:40, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

So do I remove the seeking adoption thing? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:44, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

If you'd like. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:45, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Now to find a way to make a nice looking userpage. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

You could ask Levi OP for assistance in doing so. They're experienced in stuff like that and could probably recommend pages you could look at for assistance in designing a userpage. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I see you're requesting to usurp your old account. Hopefully this won't screw anything up since I encountered a user who's been usurped but for whatever reason their talk page goes to their username with (Usurped) at the end of it. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:33, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Edit to my talk page by IP

Hey! I noticed that you replied to an IP on my talk page. If you see an IP make an edit like that to my talk page, simply just revert them as it means they are just a troll. See WP:DFTT for more explanation. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Also I see you warned them. In that case I would simply just report them to AIV immediately without any warnings. I wonder if this is an LTA since this isn't the first time an IP has made that kind of edit to my talk page... ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:58, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I tried to do an AIV report but one was already submitted by the time I attempted to submit mine. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Whats an LTA? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah ok. Well then you can simply just revert them and wait for them to get blocked if they've already been reported. LTA is short for Long-Term Abuse, see WP:LTA for more (or ask an admin to explain what an LTA is since that page doesn't seem to describe what an LTA is very well). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:07, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Apparently I made my 100th edit. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:09, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

You have indeed. Good job. Also, in this case if you see an edit like this and it's been reverted, report the edit to WP:OVERSIGHT so that it can be suppressed since it'll fall under revision deletion criteria 3 ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:11, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh are oversight the guys that can clear the logs? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:12, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Sort of. The edit is still there, however most users won't be able to see the contents of the edit since it'll require them to have a specific user right (and that user right will in turn allow them to hide the edit themself). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:14, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I use a tool similar to Twinkle (but more geared towards vandalism fighting) called RedWarn which allows me to report the edit to oversight by just clicking a few buttons. It'll send an email to Oversight however it won't give them your own email. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:12, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

also have RedWarn but cant figure out how to use it well so I just use Twinkle. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:13, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Can you help me figure out how to use RedWarn? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I will do my best. What are you having trouble with involving RedWarn? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:19, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Well first how do I change the menus to dark mode cause when I use dark mode the menu is still in light mode and it is just white. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:21, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Are you using Wikipedia in dark mode? If so then you can't. When you use Dark mode on Wikipedia those menus will change to be white so that they can be seen. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:25, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

But the text remains white also so I am unable to see it. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Oh nice catch! I'll raise this issue up at the talk page for RedWarn. For now, you'll have to use Wikipedia in light mode to see the text in RedWarn. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:27, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I might be able to fix it as I do web programming a bit.. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:30, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

It's best if the people who work on RedWarn fix it since they know how the tool works and will be able to fix the issue without breaking anything. I've brought the issue up on RedWarn's talk page so hopefully it'll get fixed. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:33, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I got around it by using this.

dialog#dialogEngineDialog {

background-color: black;

} SkyeWolf369 (talk) 15:42, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

I have no clue what any of that means but if it worked then I will add that you have gotten it to work with that code to my report. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the AIV report

and have a nice day too 😊 -- TNT (talk • she/her) 14:19, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

No problem mate just helping out this morning I didnt expect a response from an admin cause yall are usually busy. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 14:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Transfer of mentor

Hey! So I noticed that your current mentor gave the okay for me to become your mentor. I'm going to go ahead and claim you as a mentee (yes, I can indeed do that) after I post this message. This message is just so you aren't surprised when you receive a notification that your mentor has changed. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Thats neat that you can just claim someone. SkyeWolf369 (talk) 13:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Yep. Unfortunately it does open up the opportunity of abuse and harassment if there happens to be a bad mentor. But so far that hasn't been shown to be an issue since the mentor page is extended-confirmed protected meaning that if someone only wants to harass someone else through mentorship, they'll usually be blocked first. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:46, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Anyone can vandalize Wikipedia

Just figured I'd say that, as unlikely as it may seem, even well-known government organizations can vandalize Wikipedia. Just now I encountered an IP for the UK's Parliament. Checking their edit history shows that they are mostly making constructive edits however. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Wait what. UK Parliament? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 16:21, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Yep. Parliament of the United Kingdom. You can see the IPs that are known to be from government organizations at WP:SIP. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:25, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Dark mode RW fix

Hey! SO you managed to come up with a fix for RW when using dark mode. Do you know if you would be able to make it so that it will work in light mode as well? I occasionally use dark mode and would find the fix very useful, but I mainly use light mode and don't want to have the issue I usually have in dark mode in light mode when applying your fix. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 03:50, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Explain more you mean you want me to add it to the dark/light mode toggle? SkyeWolf369 (talk) 12:54, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Ya pretty much. If I use your fix it'll work in dark mode but not light mode. If I don't use it it'll work in light mode but not dark mode. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:43, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi SkyWolf369. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

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 08:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi SkyWolf369,

After reviewing your request, two administrators have attempted to add your account to the rollback group, and one was faster. I'm adding this because you had asked me too and it looks fun to have this thrice on the page, but also because it contains advice not present in the default message. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
• Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
• Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful.
• Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
• If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.
• Use common sense.

To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. 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 rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Mmm yes rollback x3 thanks though. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 14:05, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Question from Alejandra Vega-Rivera (02:12, 31 March 2022)

Hello! I recently published a book and would like to create a Wikipedia page for myself, as an author since I plan to keep on writing. Any tips on how to start? Thank you so much! --Alejandra Vega-Rivera (talk) 02:12, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Heya so unfortunately yiu cant write it on yourself as that is prone to bias you can request someone else create it if it meets notability requirements but you should steer clear of writing about yourself and let it happen by other editors. I am currently in bed so I will give uou linka when I wake up. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 02:18, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes Mr.Sky... where do i learn to clean up articles? Hornbeel3 (talk) 13:00, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

So you want me to adopt you? Like is this a request? SkyTheWolf (Talk) 13:30, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Adoption

Sorry for the late reply, but I will take you up on that offer of being adopted Keanu Venter (talk) 10:00, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Sftmrtn (20:53, 12 April 2022)

Hi ! when I do the suggested edits, these are often " this article reads like an advert.." but how to improve this type of article ? Should I be looking for third party sources, or should I take out anything that isn't independently sourced and simply cut the article back ? Would appreciate any advice or pointers to advice that you could send me Thanks Best, Martin --Sftmrtn (talk) 20:53, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Heya sorry for the late response. When improving that type of article if you read it and it like sounds like a TV advertisement and/or it doesn't seem neutral see ( WP:NPOV ) then you should attempt to make it neutral. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 13:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Elif Oztuna (09:43, 14 April 2022)

Hi there,

I am a content editor and it is a pleasure to edit articles on Wikipedia. How many edits should I make to have permission to create a page from scratch?

Best Regards, Elif --Elif Oztuna (talk) 09:43, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Elif Oztuna, welcome to Wikipedia! Although you can create an article directly in mainspace once you are autoconfirmed, it is strongly recommended that you go through WP:AFC for your first few articles. Additionally, please read WP:1st if this is your first time creating a new article. Justiyaya 07:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Adoption.

Hello!

I've seen your recent request to adopt me, and after long consideration about the request I have decided that you seem to be a very good mentor and accept your request to adopt me, I look forward to speaking more about this subject and how you can teach me in all ways.

I also hope you can train me in the CVU Anti vandalism team and also the guild of copy-editors as I see you are a member of them, thanks a lot.

Contact me ASAP

Bye for now!

Question from Vvnalgirkar (04:43, 23 April 2022)

hello sir i want help in my article can you please see and guide me ? --Vvnalgirkar (talk) 04:43, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

@Vvnalgirkar Yeah no problem which article. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 05:11, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Dr. Vivek nalgirkar please chech Vvnalgirkar (talk) 05:33, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

@Vvnalgirkar Hey yeah so personally ( and based on consensus from the community about NPOV ) I don't think that you should write an article about yourself due to the lack of a neutral point of view.

Question from Mixedbelieve (06:15, 25 April 2022)

how to move my page. there is no move option --Mixedbelieve (talk) 06:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mixedbelieve Which page are you attempting to move? SkyTheWolf (Talk) 12:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

User:Mixedbelieve/sandbox Mixedbelieve (talk) 17:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mixedbelieve: (talk page watcher) Where are you wanting to move it to? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:21, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I would like to know that if you want to move it into namespace that's not going to happen since it's not in English and completely unsourced. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf Thanks for helping them out I am actually busy all today so thanks. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 17:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

I want to move above mentioned Mixedbelieve (talk) 18:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

@Mixedbelieve: If you read my response, since its not English that's not going to happen, as well as it being completely unsourced. You might have more luck trying to publish your article at the Bengali Wikipedia located at bn.wiki.x.io. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Way to contact me outside Wikipedia

I know that you prefer not to communicate via Wikipedia (As you told me in the past) and were curious if I had a way (besides Discord) for you to contact me outside of Wikipedia. I had previously said no but I just remembered that you can contact me via Steam (service) if you really want to (username is in one of the many userboxes on my userpage, which one is for you to find ;) ) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:30, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Question from Foxx009 on Ishan Kishan (07:24, 10 May 2022)

Hello sir I want to add Ishan Kishan's ODI And T20 Shirt no but i can't see the place to enter the Number --Foxx009 (talk) 07:24, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

@Foxx009 I am sorry but I do not understand what you are talking about if you could please explain more I would be able to help. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 12:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Leave that I want to say that i m adding Ishan Kishan's nickname which is Pocket Dynamo as fans fondly call him and u can see it on Mumbai Indians Official app as fun fact but a user is saying that it's unofficial Foxx009 (talk) 12:22, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

@Foxx009: I'll answer both your questions since I think I somewhat understand. The infobox template, which is located at Template:Infobox cricketer, might have a parameter where you can add the player's shirt number for ODI and T20. Now, for his nickname, that won't be added unless secondary, reliable sources cover it. The Mumbai Indians Official app may be officially licensed by the team, but may not be owned by it. Either way, it would most likely count as a primary source, which is a source related to the subject. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:32, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Question from Foxx009 on Ishan Kishan (16:58, 12 May 2022)

Hello sir i want to ask how to add squad no like Ms dhoni's profile like it is written below rising pune super giants and chennai super kings in his profile I want to add ishan kishan's mumbai indian squad no which is 23 --Foxx009 (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

I believe that the infobox parameter is clubnumber3. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 17:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

I've left the user a welcome message on their talk page for the Hindi language since that appears to be the language they are more familiar with. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:08, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Question from Jahnie63 (01:04, 13 May 2022)

Hi. I have visited Wikipedia thousands of times over the years but never created a login until today. While looking through my homepage and other items, I noticed that I could edit pages. I prefer to use Wikipedia as I always have, a trusted source of information on ancient and recent history and biographies of celebrities and historical figures. As a member, is it mandatory that I have to contribute information or edit current pages? --Jahnie63 (talk) 01:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@Jahnie63: (talk page watcher) You don't have to edit pages at all. You can have an account but continue just looking at pages as they are. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't like you deleting my stuff.. it was funny. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.176.82.13 (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Jokes are not welcome on Wikipedia. GO elsewhere for that. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:27, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from vandalizing Wikipedia if you believe I have falsely reverted you edits please contact me and please settle the dispute with me in a calm and civil manner as I am a human and am prone to making errors like everyone else and of course. Have a great day. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 13:30, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf Thanks. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 13:34, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

No problem. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Question from Rschreiber91 (01:17, 15 May 2022)

I created a draft page -- which took quite a while -- and it was quickly rejected because I didn't cite sources. But now I can't find the page, and I'd like to edit it to add proper sources. How can I find the page? The draft was for my niece, Chardonnay Curran, who is a professional soccer player. I'm really upset that hours of work is gone and I may have to start over completely. --Rschreiber91 (talk) 01:17, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Rschreiber91, welcome to Wikipedia! Your draft is Draft:Chardonnay Curran, although, looking at your contributions you seem to have figured that out a few minutes after asking the question. Please ensure that the subject meets our notability guidelines. Additionally, biographies of living persons require inline citations (see also Help:Referencing for beginners), please do not resubmit until you added them or the draft would likely be quickly declined. Furthermore, you might find WP:1st and WP:COI useful if you haven't skimmed through those pages already, happy editing! Justiyaya 10:15, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Why did you do that?

Hi LogaNMATTEORobles, you can create a second user sandbox anywhere as a subpage to your userpage (with a "/" after User:LogaNMATTEORobles). Most users do it with a subpage named "sandbox2" like User:LogaNMATTEORobles/sandbox2. Hope this clears things up and feel free to ask additional questions if this doesn't explain it.

Question from Archibald Bunker (06:50, 21 July 2022)

Hello. I would like to state something about the “Leroy Mercer “article. There seems to be some speculation as to the origin of the comedic, prank caller. When listening to the original recordings, one hears references to Eddie’s auto parts, Tom McAnn’s shoe store,West Town mall, Thompson School road, Corryton Tennessee & Maynardville, Tennessee. All of these places are or were adjacent to Knoxville Tennessee at the time the first were circulated by hand and were not even available for purchase. I feel this should be verified and posted as opposed to the overshadowing claim that it’s origin is in Oklahoma --Archibald Bunker (talk) 06:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Question from NeilAlan2006 (06:59, 7 August 2022)

Hello SkyWolf369, I created an account because I wanted to register my IP Address contributions with my username instead. It still shows up under IP Address. --NeilAlan2006 (talk) 06:59, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi @NeilAlan2006, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! unfortunately, there is no way to transfer edits from an IP address to an account. If you want your IP address to be made private, you might be able to contact oversight and request the IP to be removed from public logs. This can usually be done if there is a small amount of edits (< 20) and the edits were made recently (< 3 months). SkyWolf appears to be away at the moment but feel free to post additional questions here :D Justiyaya 12:34, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Question from Omessiori (18:38, 29 August 2022)

Hi Rusty. I was hoping to know what needs to be done in order to get my draft article published.

Thanks. --Omessiori (talk) 18:38, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

@Omessiori: Hello Omess! You appear to have posted on the talk page of the wrong perosn. Could you tell me the exact username of this "Rusty" you are referring to? That way I can let them know that you are attempting to get help from them. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:40, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks blaze. I was appointed a mentor. I simply responded to that notice. I don't recall which Rusty. I'm sorry about that, I must have done it wrong. I'll trace back my steps to see why this happened. Omessiori (talk) 21:30, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

@Omessiori: It's alright. SkyWolf hasn't edited in a month so I responded to you so you wouldn't be waiting for a response and never receive one. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Oh my god I am so sorry I havent been active as much as I would like to have been I will be more active now since I am done vacation. I just forgot to put a wikibreak notice.

@Omessiori

@Blaze Wolf SkyTheWolf (Talk) 21:48, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

It's alright Sky. I have no issues with it (Since I"ve also been on a Wikibreak). I just figured I'd answer this person's question for you. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from Milea2u (17:43, 4 September 2022)

Hi ‪SkyWolf369‬ Im Milea and that is awesome because I will be honest I am a Nuub but I promise I catch on fast and this journey means a lot to me because of my llittle brother Joey who was taken from us too soon a few years ago and who lived and breathed this stuff and got a college degree in it because of our cousin Darrell who went to MIT and was my brothers idol and mentor. A long story short I will take any advice you can give me . --Milea2u (talk). 17:43, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome I hope to help you as a mentor here I am sorry for the slow response I am just recently getting back onto Wikipedia from my break for the summer. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 13:26, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

@Milea2u: (talk page watcher) Hello Milea! It appears you've misunderstood what a mentor is on Wikipedia. Here on Wikipedia, a mentor is someone who helps new users learn how to edit Wikipedia constructively. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:41, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from BenBrownBoy (21:54, 13 September 2022)

Hello SkyWolf36. I've had the pleasure of being informed that you are my Mentor for this ongoing journey into the land of Wiki and it's associated townships. Rest assured I shall be straight on to you when I need help. BTW, if you have any suggestions for me, feel free to throw them my way. BenBrownBoy BenBrownBoy (Aye?) 21:54, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

@BenBrownBoy: (talk page watcher) I suggest you change your signature to remove the link to someone else's userpage being disguised as your own. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 22:01, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Will do. This is due to my recent name change and me making a signature before the request had been fulfilled. I thought I'd changed the link, but it would appear not. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. BenBrownBoy BenBrownBoy (Aye?) 22:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

@BenBrownBoy: No problem! I knew that would be the first thing people would yell at you about. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:58, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Question from Pngeditor (17:59, 17 September 2022)

Hi, where can I find all the short cuts to enter when I want to mention a reason for a revert, or a possible change, e.g., if I think something is possible original research [OR] or needs a source, instead of writing it long hand? Also how can I get a link to those pages in wikipedia so that I do not have to search for them each time? Regards --Pngeditor (talk) 17:59, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Special:WantedTemplates

Hi, I have been cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates and noticed a couple of your script pages are transcluding Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_data.template.wikitext_+_". This is because the backend software is parsing the curly braces as templates. An easy way to fix this is to put

// <nowiki>

at the top of your scripts, and

// </nowiki>

at the bottom of your scripts. This won't impact the functionality, since they are in javascript comments, but will remove the pages from Special:WantedTemplates. Thanks in advance for your help! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 21:33, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

It's been a month, would it be possible to make this change? Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 14:38, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Added User:SkyWolf369 Test/AntiVandal.js to the request. —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:03, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I no longer have access to that account if I recall. SkyTheWolf (Talk) 23:43, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

I just went ahead and did both​. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 23:50, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
