Rollback granted

Hi Catalyzzt. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ {sting} 23:59, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rama Kishore Singh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hijacking.

Reference removal at Stonehenge article

Hi User:Catalyzzt, I wanted to let you know that I undid your removal of a reference on the Stonehenge page. While it's true that one of the tags (the url tag) in the reference was malformatted, the rest of the reference was fine. In the future, I'd encourage you to either fix the reference yourself or to flag the reference by making a note on the talk page or tagging it in some way (e.g. using Template:Verify_source). In this case, removing that reference was particularly damaging because it was a named ref and was used in three other places in the article. Thanks! Suriname0 (talk) 16:52, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I looked at several of your recent changes following this template, and all seemed to me to be unwarranted reference removals. In all but one case, other cite tags were specified correctly; only the URL was incorrect, and thus should have been removed (or better yet, corrected, as I was able to do easily in all cases). Even in the case of Poland, which featured a ref without a corresponding cite template, replacing it with a citation needed template may have been more appropriate. I appreciate you trying to correct these, although doing so without removing otherwise good references would be much appreciated. Thanks, Suriname0 (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
User:Suriname0: I totally understand. I was a little bit misguided based on this requested edit filter that attempted to catch edits including file:// links, although I now realize that simply catching these edits is different than deleting them once they have been cited. I wasn't entirely clear on the protocol for broken source links, and I just sort of assumed that they were utterly useless if they were broken. Again, apologies.
No worries, and again thank you for trying to improve citation formatting on Wikipedia! Suriname0 (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Edit on 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

How did this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/394672266358685697/1066603852020850688/Screenshot_20230122-012241.png image end up in your edit here? TylerBurden (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Oops! Thanks for catching this. Looks like an auto-copied Discord link that I accidentally pasted into my edit. Sorry about the confusion. Catalyzzt (talk) 18:36, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Xunyang River

nothing wrong with my edit, Chaisang don't need space in both pinyin and English, just like there are no space in Xunyang 27.124.38.198 (talk) 14:55, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. My mistake! Catalyzzt (talk) 14:58, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

CitroÃĢn

Is it Citroën or CitroÃĢn? Is it a bug with RedWarn? I have seen this gibberish while you were warning 89.197.169.121. 78.177.109.210 (talk) 19:30, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

@78.177.109.210 RedWarn seems not to be able to parse certain strings of special characters in links. It could also be an issue with MediaWiki. I'll have a look when I get home and report the issue to the 10nm team. Catalyzzt (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Just ignore them

and let them scream into the void. There is no benefit to engaging in a back and forth. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Fair enough, I suppose I should WP:Deny recognition. Catalyzzt (talk) 19:25, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Exactly. If they didn't want attention they wouldn't have pinged a bunch of people. More effective to just ignore them. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Mock Trial Edits Reverted

Hello, I made two edits to the mock trial page (high school section) which you reverted. I made these edits in good faith, so I apologize if I did not provide descriptive enough context for the edits (I am a novice Wikipedia user). The first edit was to update the list of notable winners of the High School National Championship. The existing paragraph described teams that had won the championship two times in consecutive years. I added a sentence to describe a team which had also won the championship two times, but in years that were far apart. This accomplishment is unique and less common than consecutive victories (and some could argue an even more notable accomplishment). The evidentiary support for the sentence can be found on the National High School Mock Trial Championship page itself, which is the same support used for the other notable winners.

The second edit was not removing any content (as claimed), but instead reorganizing a rather long and jumbled paragraph for clarity. An existing sentence discussed that different states hosted the competition, then there were sentences about notable winners, and then the paragraph returned to the topic of which states hosted the competition. My edit was intended to connect the sentence introducing the concept of rotating hosts with the sentences discussing the details of those rotating hosts. I put this existing content into a new paragraph for ease of reading.

Again, I apologize if I am not following the correct editing etiquette. I just saw that the paragraph was incomplete and disorganized and I thought I would help tidy it up. Respectfully, 24.56.250.13 (talk) 00:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I think I reverted your edits by mistake, sorry! My guess is that your second edit was caught in an ORES filter and flagged as spam. I incorrectly identified the diff as spam, and reverted the edits. I was using a tool called Huggle that speeds up my editing workflow. Reverting an edit using this tool automatically reverts any previous edits by the same user.
If you'd like to restore the edits you made, I'd recommend "merging" the edits to avoid overwriting people who have edited since.
Sincerely sorry for the inconvenience! Catalyzzt (talk) 03:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Block request for User:2601:246:5780:BEC0:1E09:DB29:2965:9D

I want to request for the possibly permanent blocking of User:246:5780:BEC0:1E09:DB29:2965:9D, please, for continuing to disrupting the page Middle age despite the use of sources in the page that disprove their counteredits, causing the protection of the page multiple times in just few days. I also suspect that this disruption and vandalism is due to ageist bigoted beliefs. Could you do something about this individual, please? 151.82.79.178 (talk) 10:36, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Please report the user on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Catalyzzt (talk) 14:05, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
