Rollback granted

Hi Zingarese. 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! TonyBallioni (talk) 13:46, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I will let you know if I have any questions. Kindly, Zingarese (talk) 15:55, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Huggle edit summaries

Hi Zingarese. There seems to be an issue with your Huggle configuration. If you look at your contributions, none of your Huggle reverts appear to have any edit summaries. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but did you change any of those edit summary settings when you set up Huggle? Mz7 (talk) 21:18, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Mz7, I have no idea what is going on! I do not think I tampered with the edit summary settings whatsoever. I run ver. 3.3.5, 64-bit. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Zingarese (talk) 21:26, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

I did try messing around with User:Zingarese/huggle3.css but I couldn't fix the problem. Zingarese (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

@Zingarese: Are you using a Mac? Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 13:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

No, I use Windows- although I think I fixed the problem! Zingarese (talk) 14:28, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Junot Diaz

Dear Zingarese, the edit summary in Junot Diaz DID state the reason for the edit. NO CITATIONS were provided for the content, which is a violation of BLP policy. The edit summary stated that CITATIONS ARE NEEDED. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the content has been removed.

Regarding the lv4 warning

He made an edit saying Pete davidson was dating ariana grande, granted there were rumors but it wasn't official until 10 hours ago. He did not mention any references and many of his edits were showing up as orange in the recent changes filter. Those made me assume that he was a vandal, thus issuing a lv4 warning, It was a mistake on my part, i will be more careful when warning others. Daiyusha (talk) 04:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi - Even if that was the case, I feel that it is inappropriate to use a Level 4. Most editors are here because they want to make a positive impact on the project. Of course, there are plenty of editors who are here to do the exact opposite, but this user clearly was trying to help. I don't disagree with the fact that their edits went against some fundamental Wikipedia policies, but it's more than likely that they simply just didn't know about them. Educating them on those core principles would help them understand what they did incorrectly. Best, Zingarese (talk) 04:38, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I will be more careful the next time, but how exactly did you find out that i gave out a lv4 warning, do you manually go through all talk pages of problem users, or do you use a tool to find when a lv4 warning is used. Daiyusha (talk) 11:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

I follow Pete's page on my watchlist and noticed that 8 edits from a user were reverted as vandalism. I then carefully looked at this user's edits and definitely did not consider them vandalism, so I visited their talk page to see how they were warned. Zingarese (talk) 19:45, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
