You made a mistake

Hey Wborrow - I have recently made edits to a page that you reverted back, but I am actually an in-law of the person and have been requested to make changes. Pbwolfe15 (talk) 17:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pbwolfe15 - Addition of that information must be supported by citing a reliable source according to Wikipedia policy. I have no doubt it's accurate, but the guidelines for biographies of living people are very strict. Also, family information is probably better suited to the Biography section of the article rather than the lead. Wburrow (talk) 17:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Wburrow that is a good point! I will move some of the family stuff down to the biography section. I am working with Eric and we are writing out exactly what we would like his page to say seeing as it hasn't been updated in a while. I will look over the policy guidelines and make sure the rest of our edits adhere to them. Our first edit was really just to see if this is something we can due on our own or must hire someone to do.

Thank you for your help!! Pbwolfe15 (talk) 17:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Wburrow How did you add citation needed? We may do that for the rest of edits we make until we can get citations that way we don't get our account locked. Pbwolfe15 (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can use this: {{cn|date=June 2024}} - just copy and paste it after the sentence (and make sure to update the date to the correct month if needed). Wburrow (talk) 18:14, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Wburrow! Pbwolfe15 (talk) 18:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are going to be making for edits this week. Just so you know cause I don't want to get banned. Pbwolfe15 (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I added a canned welcome message to your page that has information and links that may be helpful in making sure you don't inadvertently violate Wikipedia policy. Wburrow (talk) 18:41, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	Thank you very much for your careful approach to biographies of living people. Restoring only the sourced content after multiple paragraphs were removed is something I'd love to see more often on Wikipedia; the most common response is a full rollback that restores unverifiable material. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Iga Świątek's verbal assault by Danielle Collins

Hi - I replied on your talk page. We can continue the conversation there if needed. Thanks! Wburrow (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Danny Wells

If Danny Wells was still alive today, he would have been 83 years old.2601:640:4080:2780:9DC1:104C:7F5D:303C (talk) 14:24, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MarksmanRifle

Thanks for reporting MarksmanRifle for the edit-warring. While you were doing that, I reported the user as a possible sockpuppet because the user's overall conduct strikes me as exceedingly similar to two other users who were blocked as sockpuppets earlier this summer. If you have any interest, you can find it here (the prior two are in the SPI archive linked on that page—AutisticAndrew and SShreddies). 1995hoo (talk) 19:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I agree that their behavior is strikingly similar and I'm very interested to see how the investigation turns out. Wburrow (talk) 19:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear "Warning"

You added an entry to a topic I made on another user's chat page (topic titled "August 2024") stating quote "Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Komodo Edit." end quote. I have never made an edit to the komodo edit page. As such, I have reverted your addition to my topic on that chat page. I believe you intended to add the note to the user's chat page, and just added it to the topic i created (which i have since changed the name of), so I have created a new topic and put your message within it to avoid further confusion. If the message was aimed at me, please provide further details on my chat page. Ewan-65 (talk) 13:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ewan-65, User Talk sections titled with the month and year like "August 2024" are typically used by anti-vandalism tools like Twinkle or Ultraviolet to group messages/warnings to that user for ease of navigation. This is done automatically, so my warning to the IP user was put in that section by default. It was not in reply to the message you posted to the user. Sorry for any confusion. Wburrow (talk) 16:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification, I've already changed the title of my topic to make it clearer, and I moved the message into a new topic. Ewan-65 (talk) 17:22, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You okay?

Hello, I noticed that IP directed personal attacks at you. It is my personal agenda to see if victims pf personal attacks are okay. Are you fine? Also I noticed that your talk page is getting long. You can archive your talk page using Template:Archive. Felicia (talk) 20:19, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you checking in. I'm just fine - I see those kinds of comments as someone who is very hurt finding a way to vent, and they don't bother me in the slightest. And thanks for the tip about archiving my talk page. I've been meaning to look into how to do that, so the link is very helpful. Wburrow (talk) 20:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi Wburrow. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 23:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
