Adam Hinds

You removed my reference to Hinds running for LG of MA due to lack of citation. Is that really necessary for something that is public knowledge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18F:A00:7870:6867:EFAB:509E:C8C4 (talk) 01:09, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Skate Australia

((Skate Australia))

Hi Cassiopeia - I'm a volunteer at Skate Australia, apologies if I have edited incorrectly. My updated information is accurate and I believed that the edits were quite constructive. Some of the existing information on the page is inaccurate and the strategic plan referenced is many years out of date and no longer exists. I can't list a source because I am the source. The only source online source for this information would be the Skate Australia website www.skateaustralia.org.au Joskates Joskates (talk) 08:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Joskates you have written to me on your talk page and my talk page. I had already replied you on your talk page. Stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 09:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Texas Capitol

I was in the process of adding the citation when you deleted my work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ers303ers303 (talkcontribs) 00:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Ers303ers303 Good day and thank you for the message. This are your edits. You are welcome to add them back if you can provide independent, reliable source to support the claim you added for verification. The editor who changed or added the info needs to provide the inline citation (sources) - see WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. Pls do it in one edit (plus the source). You can use the horizontal format of Template:Cite web if the sources are from the web. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). Cassiopeia talk 00:21, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello?

Hi? I’m very confused on why you deleted my entire page, It’s currently in progress with adding citations and more info, and you just.. deleted it all? I’m trying to be understanding of any mistake I might’ve made, but I don’t want three hours of work to go down the drain. Cornmazes (talk) 00:57, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Cornmazes, good day. This are your edits. You are welcome to add them back if you can provide independent, reliable sources to support the unsourced claim you added for verification. The editor who changed or added the info needs to provide the inline citation (sources) - see WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. Pls do it in one edit (plus the source).

Glenn Cornick

Hi Cassiopeia, tried editing the Glenn Cornick page again but it doesn't seem to come up, need a little help, I was his personal friend and Bandmate so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.67.144.18 (talk) 01:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) hi ip user! unfortunately, wikipedia edits have to be verifiable. this means that unfortunately, having your own knowledge about what happened is not usable (and counts as original research, and since you're his friend, also a possible conflict of interest), unless it was published in say, a news article, since nobody can verify it through a reliable source. happy editing!  melecie  t - 01:44, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Querying revert

Hi, Cassiopeia. I was wondering if you could explain this revert? You removed for lack of a reliable source, but the content in question had 10 citations to what appear to be reliable sources. Am I missing something? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 06:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Tamzin Good day. There are some part that was unsourced which you than then added back and I have just removed it. You are welcome to add it back if you can provide independent, reliable for verification and the editor who added/changed the content need to provide the source for verification - see WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN. Cassiopeia talk 06:55, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
It's not my addition, but rather another editor's, which I now see you've discussed a few sections up. Looking at your answer to them, I'm concerned here. You can't revert 6kB worth of additions because a few sentences aren't sourced. That is removal of sourced material, which, as I'm sure you know as a veteran recent change patroller, is generally considered disruptive editing. If I saw this edit coming from a new user, I would revert it and template them with {{subst:uw-delete1}}, and I'm guessing you would too.
Furthermore, in your more recent edit, did you check the sources that were already in the article before removing as unsourced? Of what you just removed, the first chunk was entirely sourceable to the ref immediately preceding the content and the ref immediately following it. I'm guessing the rest could be sourced to the existing references quite easily as well. One of the main things I do in mainspace is remove unsourced content, so I appreciate the importance of not letting unsourced statements sit around in articles forever, but it's important to keep in mind what the policy section you cited says: Whether and how quickly material should be initially removed for not having an inline citation to a reliable source depends on the material and the overall state of the article. In some cases, editors may object if you remove material without giving them time to provide references. Consider adding a citation needed tag as an interim step. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 07:11, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, This are your edits. We use Huggle and Huggle will remove all edits of the editor pre and subsequence edits. Editor always can find their edit on the history log and can always add back the sourced content. Editor can always come to counter vandalism editor talk page and discuss the revert if the want. I am familiar with unsourced /disruptive edits or vandalism for I am one of the counter vandalism trainers in Wikipedia. Remember to add sources next time that the info and you added or changed next time (and note also when you added them back including the unsourced content) as per WP:PROVEIT and WP:BURDEN . Cassiopeia talk 07:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Cassiopeia, I don't think you're following me here. These are not my edits. You should be able to see that from how they... aren't. I know what Huggle is. I know what RCP is. I'm not nearly as active an RCPer as you, but it is something I do from time to time, and I have been doing it for longer than you've had this account. That's not me trying to pull "seniority", to be clear; I'm trying to get you to understand that this is me, a fellow experienced Wikipedian, coming to you with concerns about a revert you have made. I am not some newbie asking "Why did you revert my edit?"
You cannot revert 6kB of mostly-good content because a few sentences are unsourced. That is a basic, basic aspect of how reverting works on Wikipedia. And using rollback and Huggle is not an excuse. That's a basic principle of using any semi-automated tool on Wikipedia. You take full responsibility for every edit you make. The fact that edits are stored in the history is not enough, as the same could be said of any revert. There is no policy or guideline that justifies the revert you made. I need to know that you understand that. Do you? Because if you don't understand that, you need to hand in your rollbacker bit. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 07:29, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, I see, that are not your edits but your have questions. Since you understand what HG is then you know how the edits were reverted. Since you are an experienced editor then kindly help up on counter vandalism for that would be appreciated for you know there is so much work that help is needed. Cassiopeia talk 07:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
There is a warning at the top of WP:HUGGLE stating, Warning: You take full responsibility for any action you perform using Huggle. You must understand Wikipedia policies and use this tool within these policies, or risk losing access to the tool or even being blocked from editing. Furthermore, even if this was a tool glitch, when Cornmazes asked about the revert you went back and linked to the edits you'd reverted, so at that point you were aware you had over-reverted, and should have fixed it. Instead, you gave them a generic response that didn't apply, and then gave me that same kind of response twice.
Do you not see the issue here? I am seriously troubled about your fitness to be a recent change patroller, let alone a trainer of other RCPers, both in terms of your use of rollback/Huggle and the way you communicate with users who question your reverts. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:01, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, Likewise, and I have responded and as mentioned, since you have time and experienced do help in counter vandalism work as you didnt reply. Anyway, you have said what you said and I have nothing to add. stays safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 08:15, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Since there have been communication issues up till now, I am going to be very transparent and direct: If I see another thread where someone challenges a flawed revert you made, and you give them a generic response like you gave Cornmazes and me, I will ask at WP:AN/I that your rollback access be revoked. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 08:18, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Tamzin, You have said that already, in a different way. stay safe Tamzin and do help on counter vandalism as you have time and experience to do so. Cassiopeia talk 08:24, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

List of UFC fighters

How was my edit vandalizing ? Tsarukyan was born in Georgia and it is a fact. Why did you undo my edit ? How should it be done better — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bashiachukaa (talkcontribs) 09:58, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Bashiachukaa Good day. Just check the source again. My apologies. Mistakes are mine. I think I open a number of mma related websites as I always do and when I checked your source the first time, I clicked on wrong tab and got wrong info. Once again my apologies. Thank you for letting me know. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk

I responded to you on my talk page

I'm not sure if I pinged you correctly so I'm notifying you, you should delete this if it wasn't needed. I didn't really get why you were so annoyed at me Kikiopae (talk) 23:34, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Kikiopae Good day. You didnt ping me correctly on your talk page. However, I will respond to you on your talk page so we can keep the discussion in one place. Cassiopeia talk 23:37, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Joe Rogan shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please stop edit warring and follow WP:BRD. The content has been removed by more than one user. Please revert your edit and discuss on the talk page. JOEBRO64 00:07, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

TheJoebro64 I heard you. Pls do not removed well-sourced and significant content for that is disruptive. Info can be easily moved to other section and they have had. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:12, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
The issue is not the sourcing. It's that the content falls outside the article's scope. It's not significant to Rogan's biography in the slightest. It definitely warrents a mention in The Joe Rogan Experience article, but not the Joe Rogan article. And re: disruption—you're the one who's being disruptive, hence why I warned you about edit-warring. 00:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
TheJoebro64 It is disruptive to remove well-sourced content and I not even give you a warning for removing the info a few times yet you give ma edit warring. Secondly we can add in the info in 'brief", as I did (just one short sentence) JR info as there is a section of Spotify deal and all the current racial slur and covid info and we can add the removal of episodes in longer version in JRE article. It is always how it is done, a long info in main article and short info in related article. Also we can make a "main page" link form JR's JRE info to JRE article. Stay safe.

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Adding a picture to Wikipedia Commons

Hello Cassiopeia I hope you have been well there have been some very good fights as of late hope you have been enjoying them. I am wondering if you received my message that I sent a bit ago about uploading a photo that belongs to a company. What a lot what allows us to display logos like the LFA and UFC even though there's no way they would give free use on images like that. What rule allows us to use those. I remember you connected me with a gentleman a while back what was his name again?

Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy. I saw you have 2slots open. I would love if you guide me to be more better at CV work. ... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 22:24, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

२ तकर पेप्सी Good day and thank you for interested in the program. Pls note that the CUVA program would take up a lot of your time and work to completed the assignments and reading material. Most participants would take about 3 months the program. I have seen there is some sock discussion on your talk page, (I am not saying you are involved), but you will be blocked if proof is secured. Pls complete the WP:TWA at the mean time and pop back here if you still want to join the program. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 01:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
I did and yes I'm ready to join and about the sock discussion it's already closed by CU as I was not guilty. I'm ready to join. ... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 02:14, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
२ तकर पेप्सी First of all, pls add additional " : " / colon from the previous thread at the beginning of your message for one right indentation as this is the communication protocol in talk pages. Secondly, no log indication that you have started nor complete the WP:TWA program, so pls do do. Lastly, pls provide hist diff of the CU close on the sock as mentioned above. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 02:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello you can check that the Sock case has been closed. Thanks ... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 02:59, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

actually I'm making this edit from my mobile web so I guess the hiss diff format was like that sorry for that but will complete the TWA soon 1task left. Does we need to add ":" extra everytime we talk?... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 03:28, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
२ तकर पेप्सी Sometimes TWA would work in mobile, so pls use landline. Yes we need to add " : " every time on any talk pages - Pls read again about " : " from my initial message and that would answer you question. Cassiopeia talk 03:45, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
alright ... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 03:55, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

MMA guidelines

Hi Cassiopeia,

I can't seem to find the 'Wikipedia MMA guidelines'? If possible I'd like to discuss that rule wherever its appropriate to do so. I genuinely don't understand why flags can be used for boxing, wrestling, submission grappling etc but specifically not MMA? I believe it makes it easier to identify particular fighters and it can provide a lot of context in regards to their careers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boxingfan27 (talkcontribs) 01:11, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Boxingfan27 Gooday. Every combat sport in Wikipedia has different guadilines. In MMA we dont put flag icons on the fight table. Pls observe how the edits have been done by regular, experienced MMA editors which you can find them on the article history logs. Here is the MMA guidelines - WP:MMA.Lastly, pls put a message header and read the welcome page (click the links) to understand a few basic guidelines of Wikipedia.
