Hello, I'm Hammersoft. An edit that you recently made to Cleveland Guardians seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! --Hammersoft (talk) 23:14, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I am confused. What are you referring to? I made two edits to Cleveland Guardians, and then I went back and self-reverted both of my edits, so there should have been nothing for you to revert. 2603:6011:7501:7862:E486:A630:DCDE:961B (talk) 00:30, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I moved your comment from my talk page to here, so we can keep conversation in one place rather than two. The reason I left you the warning regarding doing a test is that you made an edit to the article, and then immediately reverted it. It appeared to me to be a test you were conducting to see if you really could change the article. Well, obviously, you can and we welcome it. Wikipedia is built on the work of people like you who contribute to its creation, now more than 6.5 million articles big. The thing is, there are better places to conduct tests on editing, which is what I directed you to with the warning above. It's best if you avail yourself of those rather than conducting tests on live articles. If you have any more questions, certainly let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 01:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

The reason I immediately reverted my edit was because after I had written it and saved it to the page, I did not like my edit style (the way it read and the way it sounded when it was read out loud), so that is why I immediately reverted it back to the previous version. I was not trying to do a test edit in order to see if the article could be changed. I made the edit and reverted the edit in good faith, so therefore your warning was totally unnecessary.

 * You might be interested to see Template_index/User_talk_namespace. The warning is a very low level 1 warning. It's quite standard in a situation such as this for a warning like that to be given. It's just intended to given you a better understanding of where you might go, if that is the case. Please don't take offense. Also, please be aware that you can use the ping template to notify someone you are reply to them. It's not necessary to post an additional message, such as you did on my talk page. That's not a problem, I'm just offering you a better way to do it. It looks like this; . Also, you might consider registering an account, so the address of your talk page doesn't keep changing. --Hammersoft (talk) 11:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No offense taken. Thank you for all the useful information that you provided. Is there any way that I can archive this for future reference? I am not new to Wikipedia, but I still am not familiar with all of the ins and outs.

 * Your ping worked :) What do you mean by archive? This talk page? --Hammersoft (talk) 17:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No. Not the entire page Just your most recent reply from 11:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC) 2603:6011:7501:7862:89C9:6959:8C6A:FE84 (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It will almost certainly always be available in the history of this talk page. It is very rare for user talk pages to be deleted (and, thus, the edit not be available in the history). The specific diff to it is this. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:04, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
