Canadian marines

Could I ask you to revert back in the Canadian section in the article on Marines if I promise to immediately provide references? Bluenose Gunner (talk) 18:34, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Bluenose Gunner: You're more than welcome to re-add the content with references and it's great that you want to. You can check out this page's history here to retrieve any content that has been removed. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:05, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Could you do the revert to the last "Canadian" version and I will add the refs? I do not know how to do reversion with a smart phone Bluenose Gunner (talk) 19:15, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

@Bluenose Gunner I've undone the edit. Have at 'er! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:16, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for responding so quickly. Two refs added Bluenose Gunner (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

And thank you for your contributions!Hey man im josh (talk) 19:28, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Here's a barnstar me mucker :)

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		For all the bloomin hard work you've done to keep vandalism off these endsStephanie921 (talk) 21:56, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Mucker, that's a new one to me! Getting strong British vibes from this post.

Thanks so much @Stephanie921, I really appreciate the Barnstar, they're absolutely wonderful to receive =) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:52, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Also yeah I'm English lmao. Mucker means mate. Would ya like me to update the barnstar count on your userpage? It says 11 but it's actually 14 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephanie921 (talk • contribs) 14:09, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate the intent and effort to be helpful, but it's actually 11 Barnstars, a goat, coffee, and a brownie, so I'm only counting the Barnstars in that box. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Ooh ok, I didn't get that - ty! Stephanie921 (talk) 18:54, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Abortion in Vermont

That IP address at that talk page is threatening to file a Stonewalling complaint if they get reverted again. They've been misusing the policies to threaten people and said that since no-one responded to them they can revert the page. They also harassed me on my talk page. What do you suggest we do? I don't think this counts as Canvassing - since this isn't about wanting a desired outcome - but is rather about that IP violating the rules to get their own way Stephanie921 (talk) 14:13, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

While I wouldn't say that their message on your talk page was harassment or threatening, I can understand why you might feel that way.

I've written up a few replies to you today and I keep deleting them because I just don't know the best way to help in this instance and I don't want to steer you down the wrong path. Yes, the user is in dispute with several editors, but I can't point to anything to say that they're in the wrong. They're clearly knowledgeable on Wiki policy, more so than I am. As I advised VictimofEntropy, I think your best bet is to seek help from editors more experienced than I am at the WP:Villagepump or WP:Dispute resolution.

So long as you're editing based on good faith and you listen to feedback from administrators, I wouldn't be too concerned about them creating a post in WP:ANI. You may not like the end result, but unfortunately that's just how it goes sometimes. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:29, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I thought it was harassment because they keep on acting as if I'm obligated to reply to them instantly and reverting their edits when I don't. They used me making other edits to justify that, when I hadn't even said I wasn't going to reply to them - I just edited other pages after their messages to me - and they used that as an excuse to try and mischaracterise my behaviour

and revert their edits even though I'm not obligated to respond to them before I edit other pages I reverted the first harassing instance on my talk but they then pinged me on my page to the Abortion in Vermont talk message threatening everybody. I have not reverted that ping Stephanie921 (talk) 14:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Ooh btw, I noticed you kept calling me 'they' when talking to FishAndChipper about me - so I'd like to clarify that my pronouns are she/her :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephanie921 (talk • contribs) 15:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

I sometimes prefer to just go the easy route and call everybody a they. Makes it easier personally, but I appreciate you reaching out to clarify. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh ok, that's fair enough Josh. I thought u just didn't know my pronouns :) In that case you can call me they if u like Stephanie921 (talk) 18:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

why did you edit my sex worker again?

any reason? Volkan1881 (talk) 16:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

You removed a portion of the lead, removed a reference, and added a picture for some reason in a place where it's not an improvement. See your dif here. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Bishop's Castle

Re: "Some have described Bishop's Castle as the inevitable result of giving a schizophrenic access to construction equipment" [no citation]

Thanks for the feedback Josh. Sorry, I don't have a specific citation, but I can't believe nobody has said it before. It's rather obvious, isn't it? 174.51.103.111 (talk) 17:09, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Kiddo

User:InvadingInvader/kiddo - - - Just kidding man...thanks for all the work that you do for removing a-hole vandals. Consider this a cleverly-disguised barnstar ;) InvadingInvader (talk) 18:52, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Haha that caught me off guard, been a bit since I seen that copypasta. Thank you! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:40, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi

Earlier today you dropped an invitation to join Wikipedia. Sorry, I was editing logged out! ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 19:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh no problem, that happens from time to time. Made a user switch from an IP to a logged in account, I'm calling it a win! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:40, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry, I am from Poland and I did not know how to use wikipedia in another language - my error He writes from a translator Mam na imie Piotr 2A00:F41:2CDE:7B3B:64FD:B89:8C75:F6B7 (talk) 20:36, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps it's best to stick to editing on the Polish Wiki if you need to use a translator, and that translator is somehow accidently mass deleting content. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:47, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Template:Kansas City Chiefs roster

Hey please be careful when reverting. I don't know if it was an accident or intentional but the Carlos Dunlap transaction is official. The Chiefs announced it this afternoon.--Rockchalk717 23:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

@Rockchalk717, sorry about that, it was definitely accidental. You always know what's what for NFL templates and pages and I wouldn't have removed your edit intentionally. I don't even bother to fact check your changes because they're always right lol. One edit too far back when restoring >.< Hey man im josh (talk) 01:11, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

No worries I appreciate that though! I figured you just reverted too far.--Rockchalk717 03:20, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	I appreciate your work against Vandalism and am also learning from you. Kudos and keep up the good work. Uricdivine (talk) 00:47, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the Barnstar and for noticing! Make sure to try to learn from multiple editors, especially the admins that edit. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Arnold Lodge School edit

Hello!

I noticed that you removed my edit for ALS as above, saying that it wasn’t an improvement and it wasn’t sourced. How would I go about sourcing such a thing? There are multiple job sites with reviews that say the same thing about the place, but I don’t know if that counts.

I would also have to disagree about if not bring an improvement, as I think seeing as it is true then just because it isn’t a good thing I don’t see why it’s not improving and adding to the content on the page.

All the best! InsidiousHappenings (talk) 06:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Job review websites typically wouldn't be considered reliable sources. They would also fall under opinions and bias that's usually removed from articles. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:09, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I hear what you are saying. I don’t think I’ll be able to source this one. I know it to be true, but I can’t find a good source. I would however like to discuss you saying my content wasn’t adding anything. That is an opinion, and I don’t think that opinions should be a part of the moderating process. If opinions are part of any moderating process, certain viewpoints can be favoured over others and should not fall into the decision making process. Thanks for your time. InsidiousHappenings (talk) 09:48, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Mentioning that there's been higher than normal turnover at a school really isn't relevant to an encyclopedia. It's giving undue weight to a subject that most, frankly, don't care about unless they're local. If they're local, and it's relevant to them, they likely already know. It's like mentioning that people in a city really like a certain restaurant in the area, is that really an improvement? Hey man im josh (talk) 20:57, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Senior LPGA Championship

Yeah i wasn't sure if keeping the location map was necessary only because of the tournament potentially moving to a different site each year. Maybe just have a location map of all the sites, but we'll see. 98.186.148.50 (talk) 14:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Wade Burleson

You corrected an "undo" by BestOkieHistory on the Wade Burleson Wikipedia page, then later stated it was in "error." I worked hard on sourcing the Sexual Abuse Case of the Southern Baptist Convention, having primary sources attached to the article on Wade Burleson, who led the fight. I'm not sure why BestOkieHistory deleted my work, but it is very frustrating. In looking through the history page of Wade Burleson, it seems BestOkieHistory has deleted primary source material on several occasions. Thank you for your fight against vandalism, and I would ask that you keep your eye on BestOkieHistory. SamBullion (talk) 22:21, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey @SamBullion, I undid an edit because I thought they were a sockpuppet of another user. I created a sockpuppet investigation but quickly realized I was incorrect in my belief, so I restored the edit which I reverted, as the reason for my revert was no longer valid.

For the content dispute, as it appears to be, you should ping them from the talk page of the article to discuss their changes. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and sometimes discussions need to be had. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:00, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Coaching trees

Josh, we've had extensive discussion about coaching trees in the past. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Coaching trees. Jweiss11 (talk) 21:41, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Jweiss11, thank you for the link, I'll add it to my references in case this ever comes up again. I've skimmed through it and there was a lot of good discussion had about this. Given my knowledge of their work and experience in the area, I typically always defer to CBL62, Eagles247, and Bagumba, all of whom opposed the mass addition of coaching trees, and all of whom made valid points that I agreed with. Thanks again for bringing this up, I'll start self-reverting. Hey man im josh (talk) 21:51, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. If you can find multiple, reliable sources explicitly discussing a given coach's tree, that's fair game for inclusion, but it should be well-sourced. I would focused the highly influential, innovating, and hall of fame type coaches first. Jweiss11 (talk) 22:01, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Isiah Pacheco

Please tell me Isaih Pacheco to Isiah Pacheco wasn't a cut-and-paste move. Certes (talk) 23:02, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

It was, and I'm a little disappointed. Primefac (talk) 11:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Primefac, thank you for merging the histories. I've grown a lot over the last two months on Wiki since doing that, branching outwards and trying new things, and that was around the time I started doing so. Unfortunately part of that is I've made some mistakes, it's been a part of the growing process. I feel ashamed over that, I'm not sure why I'd be so stupid as to copy-and-paste move, but I can tell you that my intention and goal is always to not make the same mistake twice. Luckily I'm pretty confident that's the only page I've done that with due to a special circumstance. I now understand the process for copy-and-paste moves and merges as I had a discussion about it not too long ago with another admin. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:05, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

No worries. To be honest I didn't look at the date, so if it was a while ago that makes a bit more sense. Live and learn, eh? Primefac (talk) 12:16, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Certes, I'm actually surprised I did that, it was really stupid of me and it won't be a mistake I'll be making again. Thankfully Primefac has merged it the histories. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:56, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I've seen plenty of more experienced editors cut and paste. It's the obvious way to move a page, far easier both to discover and to carry out than requesting an admin to remove the destination page. In fact, I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often. Certes (talk) 19:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Failed SD?

User:Mikayla_Caitlin still visible, even though all your other August 1st SDs went through. (I am seeing MC because I am in the Mentor program, and she showed up as one of my new accounts to monitor.) David notMD (talk) 08:41, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Page was deleted under U5, then recreated by the user. Primefac (talk) 11:16, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @David notMD, thanks for bringing it up but as Primefac said, the user recreated the page after deletion. This happens sometimes, and I've nominated the page again as it appears to still violate U5. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:06, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		I know this is the third Barnstar I've given you, but I think this one is well deserved. You're a tireless contributor, and I've noticed several instances where you jump right in and help resolve conflicts, work with others, and following your name around has even helped me learn more about what to do and not do in many situations. Most importantly, you have done excellent work with reverting vandalism and defending Wikipedia's principles. Thank you!! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 14:43, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you so much, I love this one! It's been great working with you =) Hey man im josh (talk) 15:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

You've earned this one my friend! I look forward to seeing you around! :) SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 15:49, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
