Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, JML1148 ( talk &#124; contribs ) 07:31, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear TheAstorPastor,

Thank you for taking an interest in "Waltzing Matilda". I hope that you have a good knowledge of the topic as well as as an understanding of the requirements of Wikipedia. Both are necessary for constructive editing. I will accept your deletion of my last edit although I am not sure that that I agree with your reason for doing so. Magoffin did some high quality research on "Waltzing Matilda" and also some poor quality research. I criticised his evidence as being very tenuous. This is justified by the cited reference. I also said that he seems to be biased which was perhaps based more on a book he wrote in 2005. I did not reference this book as it is very poorly written. I will accept your deletion because it is not supported by the references in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BDW82 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 21 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Greetings, BDW82
 * I reverted your edit because it did meet the requirements of WP:NPOV.You may add the content again to the article, but please provide a reference and a reliable one.And one more thing: dont forget to sign your comments by using four tildes TheAstorPastor (talk) 08:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have noticed you have reverted a good faith IP edit and left a level 3 warning template on the editor's talk page. Please remember that anonymous editors are human too. I suggest that you strike out the warning template, apologize to the editor and be more careful in the future. Thanks, CpX41 (talk) 15:46, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, the IP did not explain why they removed the content and just wrote " trimmed tagged redlines " and due to their past history of disruptive editing and the past level 2 warning template,I left a level 3 warning template.I am sorry and just going to leave an apology at their TP :) I also striked out the template The AP  ( talk ) 15:54, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
@Spicy, @Yamla, @Doug Weller, as these users have previously blocked me or reviewed my unblock request on either this account or Harvici. Well, I am really sorry that I created this account and violated WP:SOCK, and I know that I shouldn't have created it. But if you go through my contributions, you will notice that I haven't shown any CIR cases (which was the reason [Harvici] was partially blocked) .WP:IAR is also one of the reasons I created this account, with others helping Wikipidea. When I disrupted the project previously (through my this account), I tried to cover up my mistakes, which was indeed wrong and I am sorry for that. With this new account, I am trying to help Wikipidea by not just reverting blatant vandalism but also trying to improve article with off-wiki discussion.I hope anyone of you would unblock me in good faith, as what I want to do is just help Wikipidea in some way. And one more thing: is it possible to permanently block User:Harvici and partially block this account as I don't have the password to Harvici and the linked email account. The AP ( talk ) 14:17, 5 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It has been a day so pinging you guys again @Spicy,@Doug Weller,@Yamla The AP  ( talk ) 12:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Don't do this. It's abusive. --Yamla (talk) 12:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok won't do it but would you read the above rationale The AP  ( talk ) 12:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Also is it possible to permanently block User:Harvici and partially block this account as I don't have the password to Harvici and the linked email account. The AP  ( talk ) 12:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I see no path forward for you except via WP:SO which requires zero edits for six months. If you don't make any further edits (including responding to this message), that would mean you'd be eligible on 2024-11-06. I won't respond further. --Yamla (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
