Quick question

edit

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Can you explain why you removed so much content in this edit? Not grilling you, just wondering why. :) signed, SpringProof talk 17:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

It looked like borderline advertising with it's feature list. It just seemed like it could be rewritten with a higher quality. I do not have time to rewrite it right now. JustAnAmateurEditor1 (talk) 17:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

AIV

edit

You should not be reporting users at WP:AIV. You apparently don't understand which editors are reportable. Please stop.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Bbb23 I am very sorry, can you give me another chance and link me to the guidelines? Please assume good faith. JustAnAmateurEditor1 (talk) 00:10, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I'm not your mentor. All I can tell you is you're too inexperienced to report users at AIV.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bbb23 I saw the user vandalize the same page numerous times, and was in a hurry so I assumed their other edit was vandalism too. I have caught many other vandals (but I checked their edits first) and felt overconfident. JustAnAmateurEditor1 (talk) 00:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Previous account(s)?

Hi JustAnAmateurEditor1, have you edited Wikipedia using a different username before? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@ToBeFree Why? I used to have an account but did not use it for anything. I forgot my password and started a new one. JustAnAmateurEditor1 (talk) 00:24, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the quick clarification – that's okay, no worries. I would only be concerned about accounts that have actually been used for editing. And not just one or two edits, but rather a lot of them, before getting discouraged and returning with a new account. The quick jump towards reviewing others' contributions and rollbacking them and reporting users seemed to match the behavior of a few sockpuppeteers that have caused a headache to administrators for years. Feel free to delete this section; I'm sorry for my misinterpretation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:29, 5 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
