I've noticed you have removed my edit.

Hello @Ferret, ive seen you have removed my text from the Discord wiki. Please check the facts about the Discord raid/spam bots before you delete somethings which are correct. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 14:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) As ferret mentioned in the edit summary, it was removed on the grounds of being unsourced, not because it was false. It also was written very informally - it didn't sound like an encyclopedia at all, it sounded like someone chatting it up with a buddy or something. Ferret was right to remove it, it wasn't appropriate as is. Sergecross73 msg me 14:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@Sergecross73

Ok. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 19:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

I tried to post some videos on the topic, but they're blacklisted. Wikil0ll3a (talk) 14:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@Wikil0ll3a Details like this need to be sourced to reliable secondary sources. Many videos are user-generated and self-published, which are unreliable for use on Wikipedia. As a quick example of a reliable source that might cover Discord issues like this would be Wired magazine or ArsTechnica. -- ferret (talk) 15:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Need help with strange reverts from one obscure user

I was editing new content at the list of works based on Arthurian legends page.

I made 2 edits. but then I checked history and noticed a strange quick revert by one user. His account was old since 2016 but never made any edit before today. then suddenly, he started making reverts to many different topical pages including the one I worked in above and threatened me in my talk page with a typical warning message of vandalism.

See the revert edit from that user. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_works_based_on_Arthurian_legends&diff=1229816576&oldid=1229816508&variant=en

Also please check his recent history targeting other users with the same warning.

It is very strange. Does he seem to be trolling, or did someone hacked into his account? ObiKKa (talk) 21:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@ObiKKa The user has already been checkuser blocked by @Spicy. -- ferret (talk) 21:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding edits on Diablo IV

Hello. I made some minor edits to the "Story" section and you undid them stating this reason: "Some of these changes are slight improvements, but a lot of them are wrong." Can you elaborate on what was wrong with my edits?

Thanks for your time. Atlas 184 (talk) 22:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Atlas 184 Some of the issues: a key figure in the plot, we don't really make statements like this. You added numerous double spaces after sentences which we also don't do, and moved punctuation and quotation marks in a way we don't do per our Manual of Style. Did you edit with some sort of grammar tool? They often get things wrong and aren't compatible with Wikipedia often. Grammarly in particular is bad. -- ferret (talk) 22:48, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I typed it in Word (I like to save the docs) then copied and pasted, which might explain the double spaces? Because I didn't purposely double-space it, so that's odd. I'll have to check my settings on Word. I moved the punctuation and quotation marks because that is how I was taught, but if that's the rule for Wikipedia, then that's understandable. "Some of the issues: a key figure in the plot, we don't really make statements like this." Is that stated anywhere in the rules regarding how we should make certain statements? That way I can avoid that in the future. Thanks for the input. Atlas 184 (talk) 22:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Atlas 184: Generally you should say "key figure in the plot" only if reliable secondary sources also say so. In this case, it's a plot summary, where stuff like "key figure" is not just redundant (they're prominently mentioned, after all) but also a form of "emphatic language" which is usually discouraged per our Manual of Style (read this). You'll get the hang of this the more you edit and the more you read high-quality articles. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_{my edits}) (talk page watcher) 16:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
