Your user page
Hi Pigsonthewing! I hope you're doing well! I was going through some logs, and I saw that your user page was recently torn up by a bad-faith account that was autoconfirmed. I went ahead and stepped up the protection level for you. ;-) If you don't want this protection applied and would like it removed, let me know and I'll be happy to do that for you. I just figured I'd help you out and let you know about it. ;-) Cheers -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   08:06, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
