RedWarn
Greetings! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed for the fastest vandalism reverts in the west (yee-haw!). If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn page for installation instructions. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. Your feedback is much appreciated!

A message from Ed6767 about RedWarn


Hello RedWarn tester! I hate to reitterate, but thank you so much for being willing to test RedWarn, I really appreciate it.

In the past few updates, I have added AIV (admin) reporting, a preferences panel, themes, customisation options and made many, many bug fixes and added many features based on your suggestions and feedback.

Unfortunately, recently feedback has run dry.

Even if you do not use RedWarn at the moment, or you do (tysm), I would greatly appreciate feedback of any kind. While I go round Twinkle users, sounding like that broadband salesperson in the mall that nobody ever wants to speak to, I'd like some updated feedback from recent and current users.

Any sort of feedback below would be greately appreciated!


 * Your first impressions when you tried RedWarn?
 * How have you used RedWarn as time has gone on?
 * Would you value customisation features, such as macros or shortcuts, such as adding your own quick revert reasons so the tool can fit your exact editing practices?
 * Any suggestions for how I could promote the tool to a wider audience?
 * Would you appreciate a more developed and thorough user guide?
 * Any theme suggestions?
 * Anything you'd like changing?
 * Something you've always wanted to see in an anti-vandal tool? (I might add it!)
 * RedWarn app?
 * A way to introduce Recent Changes patrol to new users to make using RedWarn or other tools less daunting?
 * Any bugs, gripes, or things that just really annoy you about RedWarn?

Click the button below to begin a new section on the talk page

My goal is to create the most user friendly moderation tool, and that's why I need your feedback to help make this truely the most favorable anti-vandal tool. While we will never elliminate vandalism on this site, we can get closer to fighting it quickly and easily.

Many thanks for your continued support. Ed6767 (talk) 00:29, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

If you do not wish to get these feedback reminders, let me know on my talk page.

Unnecessary templating
I explained each of my edit. Refrain from posting this message in future. 2402:3A80:8A3:125D:6CCD:C2F4:D4C5:59CB (talk) 15:03, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Your deleting my edit about organic orange zests
Quote: "we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Zest (ingredient) seemed less than neutral and has been removed." Well, it says in the article I had edited that most oranges are treated with a cancerogenic fungicide. Why would you want to consider my edit as unneutral, act as an arbitrary censor and delete my edit that was just saying that in that case for making zest it is better to use organically grown oranges that don't have been treated with that kind of dangerous stuff??? That has nothing to do with safeguarding a neutral point of view. It is just your personal, unneutral opinion that poisonous food is equally good as healthy produce. Are you working for the agrobusiness / chemical lobby? That is how you keep people from contributing and keep Wikipedia an elitist club of "privileged editors". Shame on that kind of censorship! Laustro (talk) 22:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To be honest, it sounded like personal commentary on carcinogenic pesticides, which now that I look into it, would fit more in WP:OR or WP:SYNTH.--BSMIsEditing (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Sockpuppets
Sock puppetry sets out what is considered to be sockpuppetry. An IP user who registers an account and continues editing is not one of them. It's something we actively encourage. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 12:16, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Frederick Seddon
I've got your note about the edits on the Frederick Seddon page. I hope I'm leaving this message in the right way.

I added two changes to that page, both of which you have rolled back:

1. correcting the name of the TV series from "Lady Killers" to "Ladykillers" (this is what it says on IMDB, and also in the titlecard on the screen of each episode as broadcast).

2. adding the information about the jury deliberation time (which comes from a link already cited at the bottom of the page, and which I thought could usefully be included in the article itself).

But I have no interest in getting involved in an edit war. Let your change stand, or roll it back to my updated correction and improvement. Completely up to you.

@80.6.160.147 Oops. I guess it was just because it showed up as orange on the recent changes list. Also, don't forget to use  to sign your posts. --BSMIsEditing (talk) 09:45, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. You seemed to agree with my points above about those edits - yet you didn't roll back your changes, so I am confused about your intentions (i.e. whether you want those changes to stand or not). There have seen been other changes to the page since then, so if my changes are to be brought back, they'll now need to be re-entered - it's no longer a question of undoing your revert. Hope I'm signing this off in the right way. 80.6.160.147 (talk) 14:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC) @80.6.160.147 Done. --BSMIsEditing (talk) 14:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Z8Games
Hi, you recently reverted an edit I made to the Z8Games article.

The way the article currently stands (as you reverted back to) currently has some undeniable errors. Those are:

1. Claiming it is "an" online gaming portal to CrossFire doesn't really make sense when it's the only one available to English users, who are the ones who will be viewing the English Z8Games Wikipedia page. The game itself is also developed in its entirety by the parent company of Z8Games (Smilegate), so again, it's kind of nonsensical to use "an online gaming portal" as opposed to "the online gaming portal."

2. The "Lost Saga" Wikipedia article is hyperlinked 3 times in a row within the "Lost Saga" section of the article, however, it's not even hyperlinked the first time it's mentioned. That, to me, makes no sense whatsoever. Not only is redundant hyperlinking foolish, but if it's going to happen, the first time it's mentioned in the section should be a non-negotiable hyperlink.

3. Moving the line that explains that Lost Saga was shut down by Z8Games to the bottom of the Lost Saga section of the article makes significantly more sense. It was the latest piece of news, so why shouldn't it be in chronological order? I've never seen a single Wikipedia article that discusses the end of a thing before even explaining that thing in the first place.

4. I really don't understand how anyone could have a problem with not only mentioning the exact date that the Lost Saga game service was shut down by Z8Games, so I don't understand why you couldn't have at least left that aspect in. I can understand wanting to take away the point relating to the service still being active in other markets, since that doesn't have much to do particularly with Z8Games as much as it does with the game of Lost Saga, however I found it at least somewhat informative just so people would know that Z8Games didn't shut down the game of Lost Saga in its entirety. I would be more than okay with leaving that aspect of the line out, though.

5. The line I removed within the Lost Saga section of the article included a lot of nonsense trivia that has been outlawed within gaming articles on Wikipedia hundreds of times in the past. The line that was left in, which gives a brief explanation of the Lost Saga game, is more than adequate enough; the line mentioning the game modes and rankings isn't needed.

I have no intentions of entering an edit war with you, but I do just want you to understand why these changes were made, and I hope that you'll be open to actual discussion relating to changes that are objectively more informative, helpful, and sensical than what the article actually includes currently. I'll be happy to make a new edit if you think any of my changes in specific shouldn't be in the article, but I don't at all think it was vandalizing by any stretch and I'm kind of bothered by the fact that you said my changes "did not appear to be constructive" despite many of them being logical and necessary.

Thanks and have a great day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prince Altoid (talk • contribs) 23:23, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * @Prince Altoid Oops, I just saw the word "an" replaced with "the" and automatically assumed it was promotional. I will revert that soon. Sorry.--BSMIsEditing (talk) 10:38, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Montenegro 2020 polls.svg improvements
Hi, thanks for uploading graph of opinion polls conducted for the 2020 Montenegrin parliamentary election, if you could change the order of the electoral lists (parties and coalitions) in the graph legend, I think it would be better if lists were sorted by the left–right political spectrum order. Proper order would be; SDP -> URA -> DPS -> SD -> MNN -> AL -> BS -> ZBCG.

Thank you, Walter II, 16:05, 29 August 2020 (UTC).

2020 election graphs
I see you have created some polling images for the state election articles for the 2020 U. S. election. It appears that the x-axis is using a day/month/year format. Since these are for U.S.-related articles, they should use a month/day/year format, or just month/year would be sufficient. (I initially thought they were incorrectly displaying only January dates, which is what I'm sure most U.S. readers would assume.) --Spiffy sperry (talk) 20:39, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
 * @Spiffy sperry, Oh. I was just using the default format that R accepts, but I will amend that. --BSMIsEditing (talk) 10:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1997 Wirral South by-election, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ben Chapman. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

2015 UK Graphs
Hello, think it might be a good idea to decrease the span on the graph. Seems quite vague right now. EnglishPoliticalPerson (talk) 22:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Senegal map
Many thanks for making the map for the election. One request though – could you remove the key from the map and instead add it to the caption of the infobox, as is done for articles like 2021 Ugandan general election? This would mean the map of the country would display at a larger size – at the moment the key takes up about a quarter of the width of the image. Cheers, Number   5  7  13:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
