Repeat vandalism
Hi vandals are targeting Dai Viet-Lan Xang War page again- you’ve helped in the past, thanks StampyElephant (talk) 01:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I'm not sure I'll be able to be much of a help; I wasn't too involved in that page the first time around. You should ask for help from another more-knowledgeable editor or make a post at a relevant noticeboard/venue. I apologize that I can't give you much more help than that.

Altered speedy deletion rationale: List of People Who's Heads Just Did That
Hello WhoAteMyButter. I am just letting you know that I deleted List of People Who's Heads Just Did That, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which didn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Ged UK  08:49, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A bit more detail. That was just vandalism, so I deleted it as such and warned them. Ged  UK  08:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thank you! WhoAteMyButter  ( 📨talk │ 📝contribs ) 20:09, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Image Files
Hi. Thank you for converting files to SVG. This might not always be necessary, especially for single purpose images used only for illustrating low view non-article pages, or our Wikipedia monthly magazine, The Signpost. However, when doing so, in order to avoid appearing to be the author of a file format version of someone else's image creation, photo, screenshot or video, please consider using the 'upload new version' feature instead. You will still be credited with the new version. Also, despite the auto generated message you might sometimes see suggesting that files should be hosted at Commons, this is strictly unnecessary if the images are only used to illustrate a discussion about a process unique to the English Wikipedia (I have fallen into this trap myself years ago). Hope this helps. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer
Hi. Your editing demonstrates a consistent dedication to Wikipedia content. Have you considered joining the team that reviews new articles and passing them for inclusion? Do read WP:NPR and WP:NPP first and if you think you're up to it, you can apply at WP:PERM. Be warned - it's hard work 😉 Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for offering! I have considered it, but unfortunately I generally check NPF for stuff that really shouldn't be there - obvious CSD candidates. I'm not too interested in reviewing pages for approval right now, but I may reconsider later on. Thank you for asking, though! WhoAteMyButter  ( 📨talk │ 📝contribs ) 04:41, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
