  Hello, I'm Y.ssk. An edit you recently made to Happier (Marshmello and Bastille song) seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Please refrain from making test edits to Wikipedia pages, such as the one you made with this edit to Faded (Alan Walker song), even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Y.ssk 17:38, 25 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your vandalism report

edit

Hi, AZYF. In Special:Diff/1245900629, you reported 73.67.145.30 (talk · contribs) to the vandalism noticeboard. A check of the IP editor's contributions does not reveal any obvious vandalism. Could you please explain the reasoning behind your report? — Newslinger talk 20:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

That user is mass reporting, that's all. In span of 10 minutes, they reported multiple users. I just thought there's no way anyone can find people to report so fast like that. They reported me for a sock account. The reason behind that being me making dummy edits of my userpage, which I didn't think was a punishable act. So, me reporting that user is mainly for that reason i.e. reporting many users in a short period of time as if spamming it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AZYF (talkcontribs) 20:15, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
It's actually quite common to see editors who are participating in recent changes patrol reporting multiple users in the span of just a few minutes. This alone is not a valid reason to report the editor on the vandalism noticeboard when the editor's reports are justifiable.
I see that the first time 73.67.145.30 reported you on the noticeboard was at Special:Diff/1245896077, before you submitted their report. While your edits on your user page (e.g. Special:Diff/1245894882 and Special:Diff/1245894870) are not vandalism, repeatedly making dummy edits to raise your edit count and reach a higher user access level more quickly is considered gaming of permissions, which is prohibited on Wikipedia and can result in your user access level being downgraded. Please do not make dummy edits to inflate your edit count.
Also, please be sure to sign all of your comments and reports so other editors see that you are making them. I am going to post a separate message explaining how to do this. — Newslinger talk 20:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button   located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. — Newslinger talk 20:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

All right. Thanks. AZYF (talk) 20:39, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
