Hi, you correctly reverted edits by user:82.43.21.210 but you forgot to issue user warning. Regards Denisarona (talk) 13:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Done {{subst:uw-vandalism4}} template has been placed on the IP editor's talk page.- I did forget to leave a warning after reverting, thanks for reminding me. CpX41 (talk) 13:46, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
There's not a speck of good faith in this user's edits. I've indeffed them for promotion.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- I saw newer edits after leaving that original message and I fully agree now. This editor's account has been globally locked as they have done it cross-wiki. I am still not exactly sure about what template I should have used: on one hand, uw-spam is descriptive of the nature of the edits in question, but specifically applies to links so I am more inclined towards uw-advert, and I have suggested uw-disruptive before as that covers a broader range.

CVUA
editHeya! The first section for your training is ready. It'll be located at User talk:Blaze Wolf/CVUA/CpX41. Make sure to ping me when you've done so. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 16:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. I have added the page to my watchlist and to my browser bookmarks. I have also posted a response as requested. Thanks, CpX41 (talk) 17:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've added the next section, not sure if you saw my mention in the edit summary. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 19:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I saw the next section and I am working on collecting the required diffs, it might take some time, but I will let you know once I am done. CpX41 (talk) 09:02, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey for that first AIV report, could you do a new one? The edit in question has been rev deleted so I can't view it. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 15:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- It was a case serious enough that it required edits to be deleted, the page's history should shine more light on this. I think it's worth moving onto the next section for now and I will add another report to AIV in the list once I make another one. CpX41 (talk) 23:07, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah fair point, don't worry about adding a new one. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 01:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
