XLinkBot (talk) 16:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC) Jamie Marchi has received enough harassment for a script written over six years ago. The argument that she inserted her own political views into a story is made in bad faith and is simply untrue. She hasn't written an English script since 2020 and still receives death threats to this day. Please delete this section so that no further misinformation is spread.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page CryEngine has been reverted.
Your edit here to CryEngine was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://youtube.com/DrXodxvSog8) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:04, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Please join up!

Regarding vandalism by an IP

I saw you reverting an unconstructive edit done by an IP at Aulus Plautius, the IP seems to have made other unconstructive edits on the same article. In the past, he’s changed some of the Plautius‘s to Platinum for some reason. I saw them and manually removed all of them (I may have missed a few). Just letting you know, Rodrigo Valequez^(🗣) 20:34, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Galebazz! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Alex (talk) 22:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

July 2020

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 12:08, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello there! Yeah, I'm aware of the templates, however you could argue I don't use them enough, so I'll keep them in mind and try to utilize them more often. Thanks for the reminder Galebazz (talk) 12:34, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Your thoughts?

Hi, I've been looking through Aaravayanshwarma's edits and they seem very similar to Shawarmaquerty's along with another IP. You think they might be all operated by the same person? Dinoz1 (chat?) (he/him) 15:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

• Yeah, might be the same person adding their own name or maybe a small friend group... worth reporting I would say Galebazz (talk) 15:05, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

• • Thanks, just filed an SPI. Dinoz1 (chat?) (he/him) 15:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

DA; Read the page!

I was simply adding further clarification to who Mr McNabb was. Further down in the article it does state Mr McNabb went on several journeys with slaves, and it’s an important part of the schools history that should not be overlooked. SaveTheEdits (talk) 16:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

• Yeah, seems like I mistakenly reverted that edit, and you were being constructive! Sorry about that, my fault for not reading further. Galebazz (talk) 16:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
  • I just restored your edit to the page, and again sorry about the confusion! Galebazz (talk) 16:16, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

About User:49.193.150.69

Just an FYI regarding the messages you restored on User talk:49.193.150.69. Editors are actually allowed to remove warnings, comments and block notices on their own talk pages - see WP:OWNTALK. The only things an editor must not remove from their user talk are declined unblock requests (while they are blocked), "Shared IP" notices (for IP addresses) and speedy deletion tags.

Thanks! — AP 499D25 (talk) 14:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Does that also apply to misleading editors about how many warnings you have recently received? For example, if I give a level 1 warning, and then the user goes ahead and wipes that, the next person warning them will again give a level 1 warning, which means that they will never get past the level 4 warning and will never receive a block... Galebazz (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I understand. It's always worthwhile checking out the user's talk page history or contribution history for prior warnings or if the user has been at it vandalising Wikipedia for a few months or more. I like to choose my warning level manually based on those things, sometimes starting at 2, on some occassions giving out a 4im when there's been a long and persistent history for example. It's not really necessary to go through all four warning levels before a block can be handed out, often times I like to skip a level or two for repeat vandals, I've seen AIV reports after level 3 warnings work as well, and admins do check the history of the user talk pages for prior warnings/notices before placing a block.

Protip: A way to tell between a user talk page that's never been created, and one that's had warnings but later on been blanked, is look for a "Last edited on [date]" timestamp at the bottom of the page. Non-existent pages will never have that timestamp on the bottom, while created-and-blanked pages always do.

If you really want to, you could restore the warnings that were there before, but it's not worth edit-warring over. I've actually seen some people get blocked for constantly restoring messages or warnings that had been removed from another user's talk page. — AP 499D25 (talk) 15:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
