link in Data Lake entry
Hi Joel.Miles925,

I wasn't sure as the Cazena link at the end of that sentence is an external link. What makes that one okay?

Thanks!

 * actually that link isn't okay. It was added by a suspected spammer a few months back according to the page history, so nice catch. I've removed the offending link. For more information on what links should be added and what links should not, please read WP:EXT. Thank you!  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 23:38, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism on my userpage?
I noticed you mentioned on User talk:Wiki0645 that that user vandalized my own userpage, but there is nothing showing this in the revision history. Why did you mention this if it didn't happen? SemiHypercube (talk) 16:29, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It did happen actually, per the edit filter log he attempted to vandalize it.  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 16:31, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * twinkle does not have a specific warning template for that. -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 16:41, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * uw-upv I thought?  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 16:55, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Joel, I've blocked Wiki0645. I've never seen the template used that way before, but I think it's perfectly acceptable - and resourceful - to do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No, for edit filter. -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 17:21, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit in Portal:Pakistan/News
Apologies for not writing the edit summary, I removed the content because I thought there was no need for these edits (Terrorism related) and thought it was better to link it with wikinews Pakistan section. Portal:Pakistan/News is also outdated. (talk) 17:21, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Further to the above procedural boilerplate, you might be aware that a lot of editing has occurred at that article since your edit and you might want to wait until it becomes stable again. A short note about your intentions would be appreciated though; and thank you for your work on the article. Cheers,  Baffle gab1978  02:46, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Joel, I'm accepting the copy-edit request and removing your working tag. I'll make sure to credit you as co-c/e in the archives. Cheers,  Baffle gab1978  01:04, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Possible AN3
Hey, Joel. Why did you leave a message on my talk page about AN3 discussion while removing the message just minutes later?--HypVol (talk) 04:58, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I made an error. I was going to open an AN3 discussion but checked the revert totals before doing so and recognized that there has not yet been a 3RR rule violation committed. I would advise you to be careful to avoid doing so in the future as it is pretty close indeed to that status regardless of my mistake.


 * Sorry for any confusion that was caused by my templating your talk page and then removing it, I was going to leave you a message to explain the above when you posted this.  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 05:02, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Never mind. But indeed I'm not sure what to do with this IP user whose edits were all to undo mine. Some of the IP user's edits may have violated the Manual of Style.(like this one and this one). The MoS clearly says that The term "mainland China"...Because of the ambiguity of the term, it should only be used when a contrast is needed. --HypVol (talk) 05:16, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * And somehow the IP user is unwilling to discuss with me despite my messages on the talk page.--HypVol (talk) 05:19, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I would attempt to mediate this but honestly I feel I am far too naïve about the rather arcane manual of style conventions regarding China and its various political nuances to do so. And anyway, I'm not sure how much it would help given the IP's lack of response thus far. Perhaps it would be best for you to take this to ANI? It seems to me that we'd do well to avoid an actual edit war here if at all possible.  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 05:26, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * All right. I would avoid the edit war and thank you for your advice! --HypVol (talk) 05:32, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Is it apppropriate to move my thread at AIV to ANI? I made a mistake. --HypVol (talk) 06:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * It should be. I responded to the AIV thread indicating the thread being reposted to ANI, an admin will presumably clear it when they are aware.  Joel.Miles925  (talk) 06:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for your reminder again. --HypVol (talk) 06:23, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
