Serial commas
editHello, your edit regarding serial commas at About the sandbox was OK, but normally it's best to just leave them as they are; they're neither required nor prohibited here. Graham87 (talk) 14:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to User:Abdirahmanabdilahi/sandbox, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Fun fact: edit summaries are important, and they're not really for joking around, despite what you said here. Thanks.

- Ok. But how is nominating a page for G11 a test edit? BombCraft8 (talk) 21:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Your weird edit summary was. Drmies (talk) 22:09, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Homo hop. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. As mentioned before, please do not joke around in edit summaries. LR.127 (talk) 06:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, BombCraft8,
Why did you get into a dumb edit war with a troll? You could have received a block for all of these talk page reverts. Additionally, editors are free to remove messages from their talk pages, even vandals and trolls, so you were incorret to insist on replacing a warning again and again. If you do this in the future, you can expect to receive a block for edit warring. Please don't make this mistake again. Liz Read! Talk! 05:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- If the page itself was vandalism, it's better to tag if for speedy deletion than get in an edit war. Liz Read! Talk! 05:25, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I will remember that for the next time IPs abuse their talk page access BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 20:51, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Reporting sockpuppets
editTo report accounts for suspected sockpuppetry, you should go to WP:SPI. Alternatively, it's easier to use Twinkle to make a report. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- I know, the main reason why I just put a notice on the talk page was cuz I didn't know the sockmaster's username BombCraft8 (talk) (contributions) 03:22, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
