Thanks for adding a comment at Talk:Laura Winter, I didn't fully know how to deal with it - just came across randomly from a template error category page :) FifthFive (talk) 00:03, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A goat for you!

[edit]

You beat me to vandalism, twice! You may want to consider applying for WP:ROLLBACK when you've been fighting vandals for a month. Be sure you are warning people (though I'm sure you are). Let me know if you have any questions!

How the heck do you spot vandalism so quickly?

[edit]

Exactly what the title says. I've been looking out for vandalism by watching a bot spit stuff out into an IRC channel and reviewing the suspicious looking ones, but a lot of the time I find that you've beaten me to it! How do you do it? Sirocco745 (talk) 03:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have one tab with recent changes (live updates enabled), and ctrl+click to open suspicious diffs in new tabs before reviewing. I then use Wikipedia:Ultraviolet to revert and warn with the right reason if needed :) FifthFive (talk) 03:47, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, I'll check that out a bit later :D Sirocco745 (talk) 03:50, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An message for you!

[edit]

Please do not revert the information i removed from the article of [[[2025]] until someone added the motorsports related events to the "events" of 2025 in next year. 2409:4073:492:6479:39BF:92A8:7618:929C (talk) 14:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed and reverted my revert. Sorry about that. FifthFive (talk) 14:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in next year, will you add these information to this article? On "events" if possible? Will you forgot to do that?
Is this unacceptable? 2409:4073:492:6479:39BF:92A8:7618:929C (talk) 14:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean? FifthFive (talk) 14:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My English is not good, I'm sorry I don't know how to explain. 2409:4073:492:6479:39BF:92A8:7618:929C (talk) 14:15, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the "events" of 2025 article, will you add name of the driver and the team as winner of a motorsport?.
For a better example: in 2022 FIFA World Cup, Argentina is shown as winning the world cup in the "events" of 2022 article.
Most people from europe, may don't understand my English because it's not good, but if you're native speaker of English language then I'm sure you will understand this message 2409:4073:492:6479:39BF:92A8:7618:929C (talk) 14:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No response? I think you didn't understand everything. I'm going bye and thanks for your message 2409:4073:492:6479:39BF:92A8:7618:929C (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a volunteer, and have other things going on. I can get back to this later today. FifthFive (talk) 14:55, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I set a reminder, though I might not be around on Wikipedia then :-) FifthFive (talk) 19:29, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for cleaning up all the "malware" junk. That was a lot of annoying edits. Joyous! Noise! 04:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Sri Lankan Vellalar article

[edit]

Hey, please protect the article from vandals who keep adding pallar's pov to the myth origin. The sources they added say (The Sri Lankan Tamils Ethnicity and Identity, EDITED BY Chelvadurai Manogaran and Bryan Pf affenberge)

"From the Vellalar point of view, the stigma of Nalavar and Pallar rank, coupled with the history of these castes as recent immigrants from south India, denies that they have any real claim to membership in the Tamil community. In the early 1970s, some Vellalars expressly denied that Nalavars and Pallars were Tamils; and in tum, members of these two castes in the early 1970's still sometimes referred to Vellalars as "Tamils," thus driving home the social and cultural gulf that divided them from Vellalars. The Nalavars' and Pallars' recent historical origins in Dutch-sponsored immigrations from south India, and their putatively darl<er skin, also seive to deepen the Vellalar sense that the Minority Tamils are a people apart from the mainstream Tamil community. It should be noted that Minority Tamils do not always accept the view that they are non-Tamilians. The Pallars of Jaffna expressly conceive themselves to be descended from one of two Vellalar brothers; after the older brother's death, the widow--a "bad woman," according to the tale-made the younger one into a landless slave.25 In contrast to other low-ranking castes, which are (on the whole) remarl<ably quiescent, the Nalavars and Pallars have not hesitated to speak their minds about the injustice of their status. "

That is an invalid source for the claim. The source is right but the interpretation is wrong. That article's name is "Sri Lankan Vellalar". The origin of vellalar in't on the book. Many castes claimed to be Vellalar as the name was a source of prestige. In that case, pallar is an example. Someone has added misleading edits to the article. It is violating wikipedia's policies. 2409:40F4:2006:B160:C117:E00A:233C:723B (talk) 10:36, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the full context here and don't have prior knowledge with the content at hand, so I don't feel comfortable commenting on content. For dispute resolution, and after reading other comments you've made, I just want to remind you to focus on content. It will greatly help the process, and having the dispute focus on content only will make it more approachable to other editors. (this applies to both you and Luigi Boy).
