Returning user?
Hello ComputerFreak34, are you a returning user, or have you edited anonymously before, or under another user id? I noticed that by your 20th edit, you had created your twinkleoptions.js subpage and by your 60th, you had imported scripts into your vector.js and common.js. That's pretty unusual for a new editor. There are legitimate uses for alternative accounts; see WP:VALIDALT for details. But it's not okay to use two accounts, or to come back under a different name if there were problems with the old one. Please see Sockpuppetry for details, and follow the recommendations there regarding multiple accounts. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I have made edit anonymously before, but decided I should make an account, so I did on February 21, 2020 (over 1 year ago) and I have never had another another account, but do share my house/internet conncetion with others. I created my twinkleoptions.js subpage because I was planning on using Twinkle, but decided not to and do my edit manually. I imported scripts into your vector.js and common.js as I was trying to customize my userpage with things I seen on other Wikipedian's pages. Are you suggesting I have two acccounts?

 * You are still fairly new and have an unusual early edit pattern. I was asking if you were a returning user, and you've answered. Thanks for posting your response. I believe that concludes the matter.
 * By the way, responses to previous comments should be indented, according to talk page conventions. You'll notice that this reply is indented. No need to go back and change your previous message now, but going forward, please follow the reply conventions. You can find a detailed description at WP:THREAD. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:11, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Please do not alter other users' comments
Hi again. Please do not alter other users' comments on Talk pages, not even to fix punctuation or spelling errors. And especially don't change the words of another user when it changes the meaning of what they say. About the worst thing one could do, Even worse, would be to change the words in a bolded vote in the context of an Rfc or a Move request. Unfortunately, in this edit in the Move request at Talk:State v. Chauvin, that's exactly what you did. This caused at least one other editor to become confused, who came within an inch of undoing the Move request template. Luckily, they held off and requested clarification. I've reverted that edit of yours, and added an explanation for the other user, but going forward, please leave others' messages alone. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 03:07, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that it won't happen again, and I misunderstood what the editor to which I edited was trying to say and I didn't mean to cause that editor to become confused and I apologize for any confusion I caused and I'll leave others' messages alone. ComputerFreak34   (talk)  03:13, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * No worries; glad you understood. There are even some rules about changing your own words, in an earlier message. Normally, it's okay to do that; but once someone else has responded to you, you have to do it in a special way. As it happens, I was in the middle of improving my own wording above, in the 03:07 post, but you responded first, so I couldn't do that.  Instead, I used a combo of underscore and strikeout; see WP:REDACT for how this works.
 * Aha, I see that you also fixed the indentation just above, which is why I got the second edit conflict; good work. (Another link you might want to follow, in case it happens to you: Help:Edit conflict.) Mathglot (talk) 03:25, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help and setting me straight on the issue at hand. ComputerFreak34   (talk)  03:29, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello ComputerFreak34! Your additions to T-Mobile US have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2023 (UTC)


 * What part of what I added was copyright material? ComputerFreak34   (talk)  21:15, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Content copied from CNN consisted of two quotations but you also copied the surrounding prose. That's not okay. You can view the overlap at CopyPatrol: click on the iThenticate link. — Diannaa (talk) 21:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I rewrote the part in question excluding any copyrighted material. ComputerFreak34   (talk)  21:37, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Much better; thanks for taking the time to do that. — Diannaa (talk) 21:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Your quite welcome and sorry for my mistake! ComputerFreak34   (talk)  21:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged Fly, Ohio for speedy deletion. I have removed the tag from the page because it does not meet the criterion or criteria specified.
