Not sure why you removed my edit out of Mike Piazza's page. I added the correct pronunciation which is very helpful for those unfamiliar with his name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Banks518 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 4 jul 2022 (UTC)

page vandalism
[edit]Hi Alabama, just to let you know that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Infinityplex is also vandalising the other page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Australia I have undone the changes three times as it is not relevant to the page. I am not more experienced in dealing with the wikipedia pages vandalism and is only learning how to do. thanks Welldone65 (talk) 04:44, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Rollback
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi -Alabama-. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
- 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 trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY 03:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Billy Bragg
[edit]When Billy Bragg's page was vandalised calling him cis, it was because he's a trans ally: https://twitter.com/billybragg/status/1537403855822012419 . It was transphobic vandalism rather than an editing test. Further proof of this can be found in the user's other edits - which nearly only consists of transphobic vandalism - including comparing trans people to Nazis even though we were persecuted and killed in the Holocaust. 92.21.223.3 (talk) 04:09, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

[edit]To answer your question[1] that is what I usually refer to as "fat fingers". When editing from a mobile device it is very easy to accidently hit a button and unintentionally insert markup at the top of the page. I've done it too many times, but it wasn't me this time, I double checked.[2] Thanks for the fix. -- 109.79.70.185 (talk) 01:47, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
