Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 01:19, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Another gentle reminder to use the preview button. It's clogging up the edit history for your fellow editors to have your 20 small consecutive edits on Ronald Dupree to mostly add spaces into parameter assignment statements for an infobox. Please ask for assistance if you are having technical issues. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Your latest edits at List of 2014–15 NBA season transactions and Devean George is continuing the pattern of multiple small changes in consecutive edits that is flooding the page history. Which leads me to believe that you are not aware of how to read your messages. Please at least acknowledge that you received this. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 07:03, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminders, I'll try to use the preview button from now on. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 16:57, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Hacked
I'm just leaving a message saying that someone hacked my account and started messing up my user contributions. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 02:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

 * You should follow the instructions at WP:COMPROMISED if you wish to resume editing.—Bagumba (talk) 02:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Should I just change my password or should I create a new account? But how do I change my password? That's what another user suggested to me but I can't find out how. Can someone please help me? Thank you. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Or should I just create an unblock request? I'm stuck here. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 04:45, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I got it. It said do not create unblock requests. Thanks Bagumba, although I really miss editing Wikipedia. I promise I can improve Wikipedia as long as my account doesn't get hacked again. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 01:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * How did you discover that your account was hacked? And how do you think it happened?—Bagumba (talk) 01:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Because one day I saw that in my user contributions, it showed that I removed and changed sourced content on Lee Kuan Yew although I didn't even edit that article. It's just me editing these days, so no one in living with me hacked my account, so it must be some random guy who found out my password because it's "short and has a pattern", so I tried to change it, but it didn't work. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:04, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Are those the only two edits that you noticed were not yours? 2) When you say "It's just me editing these days", was anyone else sharing your account before? 3)And please expand on "I tried to change it, but it didn't work": how did you change it, and what happened? Was there an error message?—Bagumba (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll clarify. 1) No, actually three edits as seen in the history, but it gave me a feeling that someone has found out my password. 2) No, I mean at least no one living close to me is active on Wikipedia. 3) How did I fail to change my password? I clicked 1st: Login, 2nd: Forgot password (at least I guess that's the way to change my password), 3rd: Enter "Magicaluniverse" for username and the email address is the one that it said was incorrect, although that is my email address. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 03:59, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

The "forgot password" feature is for when ... you forgot your password. You need to have already registered your email address per Help:Email confirmation. But you are able to log in to edit your talk page, so obviously you know your current password. You can change your password at Special:Preferences.—Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Users of your account
Breaking off a new thread to further discuss the "hacked" edits to your account. You stated "I mean at least no one living close to me is active on Wikipedia." My followup question: Did anyone that did not live close to you share your account with you before? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 04:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. I remember that I joined Wikipedia just a year ago in February 2014. During this year, I didn't go anywhere farther than the place I currently live in. Probably no one living far from me that I know share my account, I guess. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 23:05, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Here is my suggestion. Go ahead and change your password, and secure it per WP:SECURITY. Use Template:Unblock on your page to request an unblock, and explain why you think your account will be OK going forward. An admin can review it.—Bagumba (talk) 23:58, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Bagumba! —Magicaluniverse (talk) 01:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Not sure but
I think they say creating a new account with a stronger password is ok? i'm not 100 percent sure (forgive me if i'm wrong) Saturn star (talk) 04:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot, Saturn star! But before creating a new account, I think I should change my password and just put this entire thing about my account being compromised behind me, and move on. But I don't know how to change my password. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 04:27, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Unblock

 * I can see no evidence that this account has been hacked. It has been accessed from more than one computer, but the IP address is stable, and the edits in question (to Lee Kuan Yew) were apparently made from the same computer as was used for this block appeal. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * But before, I thought I got hacked. Now you're telling me that I didn't get hacked. Then why can't I be unblocked? Don't you see that I make useful contributions to Wikipedia for almost all the time? It's the Lee Kuan Yew edit history that made me think that I got hacked. I was blocked because it was thought that my account was compromised. Now that this is proved to be false, then I shouldn't be blocked anyway. Are you saying that I deserve to get blocked and remained blocked? And who would make the edits to Lee Kuan Yew if they are not my edits? I don't edit politician's articles. Why? Because I have no interest in those articles. I have more interest in sports like NFL, MLB, and NBA and also cars as seen in my user contributions. —Magicaluniverse (talk) 23:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
