Don't worry about making an article perfect. Just make it better.

Revdel

I think this is worth a zapping. Might be worth blocking also, the IP is vandalism only.

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 17:40, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did the revdel, but didn't bother blocking since he's been gone for a couple of hours. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Joyous! Noise! 20:15, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joyous! Thanks for the revert. That type of vandalism has been happening on a regular basis. I've put in a request for page protection to be increased. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding User:Long Pharaoh

A user you blocked posted a personal attack at Special:Diff/1277327417 on their talk page. I recommend revoking that user's talk page access. Z. Patterson (talk) 00:44, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Yes. Thanks. That's one's a charmer. Joyous! Noise! 00:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could I get a zapping of an edit summary?

I don't appreciate being called "ehitler"!

Edit Removal

Why was my edit on the Wine Gums page stating “the reason behind the name remains unknown” removed for silliness? 131.227.156.6 (talk) 23:26, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message! My apologies. I misread your edit. I've restored it, so you don't have to go to the trouble. Joyous! Noise! 23:29, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No one has ever given me a goat before!!! Thank you! And he's already eaten two buttons off my shirt, and untied my shoelaces. Joyous! Noise! 02:21, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February 2025

Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Betty Loh Ti. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.

That was fast...

I know I just gave you a barnstar, but I want to thank you for your swift action here. Just as I was about to email an admin about redacting it, too! JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:57, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes I'm quick and efficient! Other times, I get distracted and wander away after I've created an edit but before I submit it. Joyous! Noise! 22:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
