Help
Hi Huggums537! I want to know how to place reason for deletion or moving of article or page.

 * , you can learn about deleting information at: Content removal, and you can also learn about how to place the reason at: Help:Edit summary. Also, remember to always sign your talk page comments with four tildes: ~, and that will leave your username along with the date for you. See: Signatures. I hope this helps!

Rollback granted
Hi Huggums537. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have&#32;temporarily [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AHuggums537 enabled] rollback on your account&#32;until 2021-03-21. Keep in mind these things when going to use 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! —  Newslinger  talk   19:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * 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.
 * Hi Huggums537, let's do a one-month trial. Your counter-vandalism work generally looks fine, although there was a mistake in Special:Diff/1008045444 and Special:Diff/1008045859 – editors are allowed to remove warning templates from their own user talk pages per WP:OWNTALK, and they should not be reinserted solely because they were removed. Please practice counter-vandalism with rollback over the next month and take care not to rollback edits in violation of WP:ROLLBACKUSE. When the permission is about to expire, please submit another request here to have it instated permanently. Keep up the good work. —  Newslinger  talk   19:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , thank you for the rights! Also, thank you for the hard work catching up the backlog of rollback requests! Anyway, I was looking at the guideline you linked to, and I was somewhat confused in determining if they vaguely seemed to support my edits or not; (e.g."...the purpose of user talk pages is to draw the attention or discuss the edits of a user.", and "Editors who refuse to use their talk page for these purposes are violating the spirit of the talk page guidelines"...) and it was ambiguous about it at the very least, so I decided to do some more reading by going to the link provided in the tophat of that section that directs us to See also Wikipedia:User pages Ownership and editing of user pages, and there it appears to be much more supportive of my edits: "Finally, a few specific notices and tags, if placed, may not be moved to a less visible subpage or deleted without discussion". So, the guidelines can obviously be easily misinterpreted by anyone, and you have to admit the "mistakes" are with the conflicting guidelines and policies rather than me, right? Because of this, would you mind to go ahead and give me the permanent rights now? Thank you for your consideration. Huggums537 (talk) 03:10, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Huggums537, the sentence "Finally, a few specific notices and tags, if placed, may not be moved to a less visible subpage or deleted without discussion." refers specifically to the four bullet points listed in WP:KEEPDECLINEDUNBLOCK. User warnings are not one of these exceptions, and should not be reinstated because an editor removed them from their own user talk page. Among the two edits, Special:Diff/1008045444 is the more serious error, since you sent a level 4 warning stating, "You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to", when the editor did not perform the claimed action. Because of this, I am declining your request to extend the duration of your permission and recommend that you exercise care when using rollback over the next month in preparation for a follow-up review. —  Newslinger  talk   09:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, Newslinger. I guess that makes sense. Thanks again for the rights! Huggums537 (talk) 10:37, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Uh, wait a minute. Newslinger, I was going through the guideline you linked to, just to familiarize myself with it, and I saw that there actually is an exception (or what could be reasonably misinterpreted as an exception) there on the last bullet point; "For IP editors, templates and notes left to indicate other users share the same IP address.", and the edit you linked to that you said was more serious actually does contain notes on both templates concerning shared IP addresses. I don't know if I did the right thing or not. Maybe not. But, I think it's reasonable to conclude that with the way the guideline is written, it wouldn't be my fault if I did accidentally conclude that I did the right thing even if it wouldn't normally be considered as something ok to do. Does that make any sense? Considering this new information, would you be willing to go ahead and instate the permanent rollback rights? Thanks again for your consideration. Huggums537 (talk) 11:11, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That line refers to templates in Category:Shared IP header templates, such as Shared IP edu, which are generally positioned at the top of the user talk page. IP editors are permitted to remove "If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices", which is a conditional statement, rather than a note declaring that other users share the IP address. Wikilawyering is generally frowned upon in the Wikipedia community, and I am declining your request again. If you are still interested in rollback in a month, please request a review at Requests for permissions/Rollback when your permission is about to expire. —  Newslinger  talk   11:21, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Newslinger, thank you for explaining that to me. As I indicated before, the guidelines are genuinely confusing at certain parts, and not completely obvious to interpret without assistance in some respects, as you have proven. Maybe I don't know much, but it was my understanding that in an ideal world, the community also frowns upon making Wikilawyering assumptions about editors who are genuinely just trying to sort things out in good faith. I'll practice with the tool over the next month. Thanks again for the rights. Huggums537 (talk) 12:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem. If you have any suggestions for rephrasing the guidelines to make them clearer, please feel free to submit them to the respective talk pages (e.g. Wikipedia talk:Talk page guidelines). —  Newslinger  talk   19:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

User:Melab-1/Userboxes/Basic
Your nomination of this userbox for deletion was closed by a bot because it's not in templatespace. If you would still like to see this deleted, you should try WP:MFD which is where userboxes are discussed. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 20:32, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep, I knew it was closed, but thanks for the heads up. I no longer seek deletion, but the process has given me some ideas to toss around about how the userbox project could be more effectively regulating the userbox gallery. Huggums537 (talk) 22:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I was actually glad the bot closed it since I had mentioned wanting to withdraw my nomination anyway... :) Huggums537 (talk) 22:31, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
