User:SMC/ubx, complete with easy copy/paste wiki source code.
RC patrol
It's a known fact of
RC patrol that sooner or later, you're going to screw up. If I've reverted something incorrectly, please let me know. I'll have a look at what you say and if it turns out to be my fault, I'll remove the warning. If it's not, I'll provide reasons why I reverted your edits. :)

For your good grace in restoring an editor's good name number, both by reverting an error, and by offering a sincere apology; you may have turned an anon into a long-time positive contributor to this project. Good show.

I graciously accept your Barnstar, with honor my friend. Us rollbackas take those personal attacks from the anons with pride. In the same spirit, your awesome rollbacks and anti-vandalism efforts merit this award. Cheers!

The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of
Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of
immigrant Chinese miners by
white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The
Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the
Puget Sound area of
Washington Territory.Artwork credit:
