Not sure why you removed my edit out of Mike Piazza's page. I added the correct pronunciation which is very helpful for those unfamiliar with his name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Banks518 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 4 jul 2022 (UTC)

I don't even know the "accused" guy or the guy that putted my in that list, why do you keep reverting my edit? Semikon06 (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * @Semikon06: let me check well. -Alabama- (talk) 19:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Check but it's better if you not make such speedy consensus next time (not saying this ironically, but as a matter of fact since the other user kept reverting to their preferred version of page Andromache (singer) with the IP user ending being blocked while trying to keep a version agreed by the majority as you can see from previous edits on history. Semikon06 (talk) 19:48, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Semikon06: Hello, first of all, don't delete messages or whitewash your talk page, like you did here. Please undo your edit or I will. If they wrote your name here, it's because Binksternet suspects that you are IP 77.69.54.143 or another user. Even if you are not related (or at least you think so) do not delete the messages, they are kept as a historical record. Please don't do it again. -Alabama- (talk) 19:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, but still no mention of the reference of mine on the aforementioned article. Semikon06 (talk) 19:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * @Semikon06: That does not merit you to delete the report that Binksternet made against you. After all, a CheckUser will investigate whether or not you are that other user. Please keep calm. -Alabama- (talk) 19:55, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Didn't say you abstain from undoing it, the only thing I asked for is investigating the aforementioned case as well. Semikon06 (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm not a CheckUser or administrator, so I can't do what you're asking. The only thing I take care of is the maintenance of Wikipedia, from where I saw your edits, which were incorrect. -Alabama- (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

page vandalism
Hi Alabama, just to let you know that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Infinityplex is also vandalising the other page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Australia I have undone the changes three times as it is not relevant to the page. I am not more experienced in dealing with the wikipedia pages vandalism and is only learning how to do. thanks Welldone65 (talk) 04:44, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi -Alabama-. After reviewing your request, I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3A-Alabama- enabled] rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! F ASTILY  03:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

A barnstar for you!

 * @Pavlov2: thank you very much! I'll do my best to progress and learn from my mistakes. -Alabama- (talk) 18:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Several days ago, my request of GR also failed due to similar reason too soon, a friendly editor encouraged me like this. So I'd like to send the same encouragement to you. Please feel free to contact me if you need further help. Pavlov2 (talk) 18:59, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

The term "Gerry Anderson's"
It just seems pointless. And it's not it's name. It's name is just "new Captain Scarlet" 81.101.7.190 (talk) 20:10, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

57 years should be quite long enough
I am pretty sure that someone who died in 1965 is not a "living person", and therefore is not covered under the BLP policy. Unless there is some other WP policy I'm not aware of? 2603:7080:EB3F:BE09:8987:ACC8:8B02:7B0D (talk) 21:03, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Billy Bragg
When Billy Bragg's page was vandalised calling him cis, it was because he's a trans ally: https://twitter.com/billybragg/status/1537403855822012419. It was transphobic vandalism rather than an editing test. Further proof of this can be found in the user's other edits - which nearly only consists of transphobic vandalism - including comparing trans people to Nazis even though we were persecuted and killed in the Holocaust. 92.21.223.3 (talk) 04:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

I am trying to get help? why wont anyone help me? Instead you just threaten me with blocking? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.38.246.39 (talk) 16:45, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

???
To answer your question that is what I usually refer to as "fat fingers". When editing from a mobile device it is very easy to accidently hit a button and unintentionally insert markup at the top of the page. I've done it too many times, but it wasn't me this time, I double checked. Thanks for the fix. -- 109.79.70.185 (talk) 01:47, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Just FYI, what you're looking at there is the subject of the article who wants to have it deleted. There's currently a discussion on the talk page regarding whether it fulfills WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE.  Madeline  ( part of me ) 17:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
