Emoji showing a worried face Hi The Corvette ZR1, I'm Vanamonde93. You'll likely not be pleased about this but I have removed some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information. For some useful information on privacy and safety, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors and Wikipedia:On privacy, confidentiality and discretion. Thank you, and sorry for messing about with your edits! Vanamonde (Talk) 17:00, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About my removing your comment at ANI

[edit]

To be clear, there was no possible way you could have know that user was trolling. Their M.O. is to vandalize a page with multiple accounts, then beg an admin to protect it indefinitely. I suppose it give them a sense of power or something. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry about that. I just saw multiple IP's vandalising the page and thought I could help... TheCorvetteZR1(The Garage) 14:06, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the subject line says it all ... we just don't do that sort of thing here. We especially don't edit archives. Graham87 04:48, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

John Wick sources

[edit]

Hi Corvette, thanks for your support over at John Wick. About the sources, are there any that stand out that need replacing? I'm normally pretty strict but if there is anything glaring I haven't noticed I will try to replace them. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scavenging through all the sources, it looks like the sources are all fine, but can you double check the source from Insider Inc.? [1] I can't currently do it right now, but looking at these things, I'm not so sure about Insider. Can you maybe check it when you have the chance? TheCorvetteZR1(The Garage) 18:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks Corvette. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Egyptian intervention in Libya (2015–2020), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Derna. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Invitation to participate in Wikipedia research

If you would like to participate, please send me an email through Wikipedia and I will follow up with additional details and a link to the survey.

Hi The Corvette ZR1, thank you for closing the discussion at WP:ANI on 29 October. FYI, the OP was rangeblocked two days after the closure. As you explicitly said that “Feel free to reopen” the discussion, I’m reopening it to add that significant information, which wasn’t available yet when it’s closed. I hope you won’t mind. (I should have done that earlier, but wasn’t able to due to personal/health issues.) Thanks again. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 01:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dustfreeworld. You can reopen the discussion, but I don't see the usefulness in it anymore. The OP (Adolphus79) was blocked on the same day the discussion closed for WP:GRAVEDANCING on you, and unblocked less than a day later after apologizing and promising to end the interactions with you.

Hi, I was not the OP of the AN/I report, DFW only assumed this. - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
