User:Lol1VNIO/My mistakes

They say humans make mistakes. I am no different. These are the mistakes I have made on Wikipedia that I'm aware of.

February

 * Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227
 * Mistake:
 * About: I was patrolling the recent changes and saw a massive byte difference of 23,739 on that day's featured article. I checked the diff, saw a copy of the Adolf Hitler article and reverted it. Thing is: the copy of the article was on the left side of the difference. The ohnosecond hit me while Twinkle was in the process of reverting. I quickly undid it and even got thanked for it by the person who later deleted the revisions.
 * Lesson learned: Look on the right of the differences.
 * Would you look at that, one year later

March

 * Goh Sze Fei
 * Mistake:
 * Background: User:Iamjakey17 created §BWF World Tour. However, section was in the wrong place chronologically, thus an IP user tried move the section by deleting it first and pasting later.
 * About: I was patrolling the recent changes with this handy filter. I saw an orange revision with a huge byte loss and reverted it with Twinkle's vandalism button. The IP user afterwards pasted the section to the correct spot after my edit, creating an edit conflict, which duplicated the section. Iamjakey17 removed the dupe section while I was patrolling the rc again. I foolishly reverted their edit thinking it was content removal and warned them. User:Zoglophie correctly reverted my reversion but I, again, mindlessly reverted it. Zoglophie had to warn me and that was when I got the idea to—you know—check why they reverted my edit in the first place. That was when I finally realized I was in the wrong and apologized to the two.
 * Lesson learned: Section blanking can be used to remove a duplicate section.

May

 * Sumerian Kyngs
 * Mistake: Special:diff/1087978424
 * About: I was testing to see if a lag machine (directly inspired by 2b2t) could work on my user page (don't ask). While building that, I was also on Huggle... in a virtual machine whose base memory is caped at a really low number. Needless to say, the screen lagged and I rollbacked the edit on-screen, which is then switched to another edit.
 * Lesson learned: Don't build lag machines.

July

 * User:lol2VNIO
 * Mistake: Special:diff/1096338224
 * About: I created this account to test out ping in talk page archives because I knew such accounts were allowed. However, the policy also states that "the second account should be clearly linked to the main account". I also branded myself as a "sock", adding fuel to the fire. A fellow RecentChanges patroller reported that account using noping when mentioning my main account. I got hard blocked, meaning any account signing in through my IP address could not edit at all. Luckily I'm a little paranoid boy and used one of my virtual machine to authenticate in my unblock request.
 * Lesson learned: Sock is a pejorative term.
