Hi 2G0o2De0l! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at
2023 Ishikawa earthquake 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.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to
Passengers of the Titanic: you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template index/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. In addition, once you're autoconfirmed, I suggest installing
Twinkle in order to automate the extremely tedious task of warning users after reverting their works. --

Hi 2G0o2De0l! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of
Path profile several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the
edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Path profile, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. -- Wesoree ( talk· contribs) 13:04, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

"This article needs to be updated. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (June 2022)"
"Agreed but there's a ton of bloat! I'll get back to editing in a couple hours. Thanks for stopping me."
Adding newly available information is not vandalism. Reducing bloat is not vandalism. If you're going to revert my edits at least add new information. Jioseph-So ( talk) 21:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- The edits that you made deleted a large amount of properly sourced material. I admit that this is not definitively vandalism, so I think I made a mistake by labeling it as that. However, giving no reason for the deletion of a significant amount of material is not permitted as per
WP:CRV, and that is why I reverted your edits.

- Duplicate information, lack of information and unnecessary information for most of this article. Someone recognized this years ago on the talk page. I'll give details next time. Jioseph-So ( talk) 21:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (12 November 2022 – 7 June 2023))
A tag has been placed on Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (12 November 2022 – 7 June 2023)) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – robertsky ( talk) 02:53, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hey there! Welcome to Wikipedia. I know everything here is relatively new to you, but be mindful when doing page moves. The above is just requesting a deletion of an implausible redirection (not many would key in double ')' at the end). If it is not possible to move by yourself due to technical limitations to the intended target title, please file a request at WP:RM/TR.
- Additionally, do check if there are subpages such as talk archive pages to move, i.e. Talk:Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (12 November 2022 – 7 June 2023)/Archive 1. – robertsky ( talk) 03:06, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi 2G0o2De0l,
I have reverted your edits in Carl Weathers article, that added IMDB as source, as it is a website which its contents is user generated, and cannot be used as a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for a list of common pages used as valid/invalid sources. Cheers ! Alexcalamaro ( talk) 14:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Just what source other than actual images of the man's signature is more reliable as to whether he included the dots? 71.105.190.227 ( talk) 05:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- The problem with using an image is that, to conclude he included the dots requires us, the editors, to make assesments as to whether there are dots or not. This is OR, and should not be done (and the photographs would also count as primary sources). See
WP:PRIMARY, which states:
"Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation."
This means we need an RS to explicitly say how he signed his signature. The source added on his page does include a picture of his signature, with what seems to be dots after U and L, but I can't find the source explicitly saying he signs his name with dots, so we should find another RS for this. Gödel2200 ( talk) 12:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC) - I've actually went ahead and removed the statement that he signed his name with dots after U and L. As far as I can tell, his given legal name was U.L., meaning it wouldn't be unusual, and would not require saying "nonetheless", if he signed his name with dots after the U and L.
Gödel2200 (
talk) 13:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- I take strong exception to that since there's no basis to accept dots as part of a legal name or as having any meaning other than tagging what precedes them as an abbreviation. The images linked in the talk page can be made links from the article itself if you insist but taking any name (even a one-letter name) and following it with an abbreviation symbol despite its not being an abbreviation is extremely unusual orthography. 71.105.190.227 ( talk) 03:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
