I know this is redundant, but nobody ever does it.
Reverted 'unconstructive' change
Please confirm whether a change is 'unconstructive' on the actual page before reverting. My edit corrects a glaring paragraph error. 125.238.21.12 (talk) 09:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Further: My edit purely corrects the paragraph error, no text changes (beyond grammar) were made. If you have a problem with the text, then that is what you should address, not reverting my corrections and returning the page to one with grammatical and paragraph errors. 125.238.21.12 (talk) 09:18, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Further 2: Again, I added no text, that section was there to begin with. If you think it's not 'notable', then you go delete it. Additionally, while I think it is great you want to keep vandalism out, I would advise you to check what the change actually accomplished before reverting it, as this was an instance where you were clearly in the wrong in reverting perfectly valid changes made in good faith, and now I had to wrestle with you to make the page better (not 'better' subjectively, in which case you might have some grounds, but 'better' objectively from any English-literate person's view). 125.238.21.12 (talk) 09:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your recent reversion of vandalism--you're on your toes (BTW: nice beard in your photo--you wear it well).98.244.151.79 (talk) 19:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Deleted page
I am following up on a page that indicates that you proposed for deletion. It is the Online School for Girls, which is a non-profit school formed this summer by a consortium of four independent all-girls' school. It is the first online school dedicated to the secondary education of girls. We believe the information was accurate and striped of any marketing language. We are requesting that it be reinstated. Thank you. Jmamenta (talk) 04:06, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Jmamenta

Rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/80px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. decltype (talk) 08:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Dahn Yoga
Hi Petiatil,
Dahn Yoga is a certifiable cult, and this article doesn't reflect the damage it has done. Please don't revert the changes I've made. Thanks much. 58.140.133.35
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:55, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The warning you issued me
I see you're new to rollback and Huggle. You issued me a warning here for making this vandalism reversion. Please be more careful when using Huggle- mistakes such as this one are fairly easy. Thank you. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 09:51, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Question and a pointer
Did you mean to make this edit? Looks like a mistake. Also, your signature doesn't contain a link to either your user page or talk page, so User:SineBot is auto-signing every one of your Huggle-issued warnings. If you don't want it to do that, you can follow the directions on its talk page to opt out of its grasp, though I understand some users frown on signatures like yours, so you may want to add a link instead. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 09:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- I mean that without any links, someone can't click on your signature to find who you are or send you a message. Instead, they have to go to the page history and find who left the message, or manually type in your name in search box. From WP:Signatures: Signatures must include at least one internal link to your user page, user talk page, or contributions page; this allows other editors easy access to your talk page and contributions log. The lack of such a link is widely viewed as obstructive. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 09:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Looks good. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 09:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Troll or ?
Your purpose here is to protect the work of trolls? Because that's pretty much what you did by reverting an edit of mine that deleted the work of a vandal. Next time, check more carefully. 24.24.210.206 (talk) 17:02, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure it was an edit conflict of some sort . petiatil »user»speak 09:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Please retain my changes.
I have re-arranged the information on this article to properly reflect the references. This page is borderline spam because it has no references other than product announcements and not one independent article discussing the product. I moved the references to Company Announcements and Product Releases. I feel that this is where the links belong, not as references to justify the article to be noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.176.238.10 (talk) 11:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Paddy Usher
Hi, I saw you added a CSD tag to Paddy Usher under the A7 criterion. Don't you think "received airplay in top Irish stations" is a claim to notability? I'm not going to remove the tag because the article history seems a right mess, just figured I'd add my two bits in... Cheers! XXX antiuser eh? 13:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
- No, I wasn't sure either, but I figured if i put the tag on there, an admin would come along and make the right decision, plus I also tagged it with other templates as well, hopefully the original author will clean it up, among other things. -petiatil »user»speak 15:53, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
NY2000
Any chance you can do something about User:NY2000? He's been vandalising all night. 99.146.38.73 (talk) 09:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
come on man
this is funny. no one really cares about that lady. let it slide this once.
nah i'm kidding i'll stop. but please answer this question for me.
do you get payment for patrolling wikipedia or just do it because you stalwartly believe in the free encyclopedia thing. i am genuinely curious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.76.227.52 (talk) 10:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
About my edit on the Entertainment Software Rating Board article
Hi, Kyrios320 here. you have handed me a useless message as you should see ESRB's website as obvious proof that the organisation is still named ESRB till now. I hope you allow that revert to stay.

Thanks for the revert
Thanks for the revert on my user page. I appreciate your watching my back. Cheers, mate! Geoff Who, me? 18:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
- No problem, I usually don't revert Talk pages, however, that revision was clearly vandalism. Anytime. Cheers. -petiatil »user»speak 19:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Petiatil, It appears you requested the deletion of the Online School for Girls that I uploaded as a board member. This is a non-profit online school tha was formed this summer by four independent girls' schools to provide the first online school for the secondary education for girls in the United States. We felt the information posted was accurate and striped of any marketing language. How do we go about having the page reinstated? Thank you.

Booza ( arabic gum ice cream )
I think the value "Dondurma" ( Turkish gum ice cream ) should unite with the value "Booza" (Arabic gum ice cream). burekas (talk) 09:59, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Restoring removed WP:PROD templates
[1] Once a proposed deletion template has been removed, the deletion is considered contested and proposed deletion is no longer an option. Since a speedy deletion of this article has also been declined, the only remaining course of action is a deletion discussion. While it is preferred that the user removing the prod provide a rationale, it is not actually required. See WP:CONTESTED for details. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:25, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Take a look again, especially at the history. I added the db-band tag and changed it when a claim of notability was added. You need to revert your bad edit and remove the warning from my talk page. 98.248.40.19 (talk) 07:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- What gives you the idea that only admins can remove a db tag? Only the creator of the article is prohibited from doing so. In fact, the tag itself states "If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice..." You obviously need to stop reverting pages if you don't understand the basics of the guidelines. 98.248.40.19 (talk) 07:14, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
You need to better familiarize yourself with the MOS for bios - we don't use the full name every time. 98.248.40.19 (talk) 07:10, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- What are you talking about, can you be more specific? -petiatil »user»speak 07:12, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Upon researching, I've determined that I did not revert your edit because of MOS, however, the statement of it being the most successful company is biased. -petiatil »user»speak 07:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I am editing the article now, so please wait till I finish and post explanations, thanks. I am going to undo you revert, so that you can see the finished product and go from there. Stwiso (talk) 06:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)I can not put this back together again following your reversion of my edits, so I will undo all the changes I made today, and come back to this article some day.
Re:Bahaha
Hey Petiatil. No worries, I saw that too and was wondering how it made basically an empty diff... weird. To be honest, I think the tagging and hangon system is completely opaque to new users, especially ones that haven't used wiki markup. I wish this were all a lot easier so that new users might understand what was going on rather than be presented with a big pink box of unintelligible text... it would be great to simplify this system. Eh well. Sheeana Talk 00:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah TW is usually more effective, but there are lots of glitches. -Regancy42 (talk) 09:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- With TW. But maybe it's just me. -Regancy42 (talk) 09:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Do you have rollback and use huggle? Also, i've never noticed glitches except some slow load times after applying templates or tags, which TW is great for, it lets us all use the same welcomes and warnings and the such. I'm using AppleWebKit aka Safari, which i think is the rendering engine for Chromium as well. Not sure what you're using, anything is better than IE i suppose. *Shrugs*. -petiatil »user»speak 09:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- No I don't have rollback. With TW, there's the issue of slow load time, and sometimes it doesn't register at all and so I have to go and revert again. Quite annoying actually. I'm using firefox. -Regancy42 (talk) 09:33, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- I've found rollback isn't that hard to acquire, if you're actually into combatting vandalism. Which i enjoy, most days. I applied once and they denied me and i worked with twinkle reverting vandals and re applied maybe a week later, and i got it. It is up to you if that's something you want to do. It's a pretty good app not just for reverting, it has awesome tools for editing wikipedia too. It's like wiki on steroids, except it using IE to render the webpages and .NET framework, which f's up sometimes. -petiatil »user»speak 09:36, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not really familiar with the variety of counter-vandalism tools. Whats the difference between TW, Huggle and Rollback??-Regancy42 (talk) 09:40, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

- Er, in a nutshell... Huggle you just hit the spacebar and go through revisions and look at the diff and find vandalism or other obviously stupid edits, i.e.: vandalism, foreign language additions, absurd unsourced content, spelling errors, punctuation errors, and if you cant revert you just make a manual edit. It also has the ability to auto-warn users and eventually after 4 warns we report them, but you need Rollback to use it. Twinkle is mainly just for addition of CSD, prod, AfD and other templates/tags to pages, as well as welcoming new users, etc. On my userpage it links to a tool called 'Lupins anti-vandal tool', offhand i dont know the url, however its very helpful along with Twinkle for users without rollback or who want to gain enough experience to obtain rollback. Rollback is essentially the 'undo' feature without showing the confirm page and whatnot. You click rollback and the edit is rolled back, no questions, it just says 'action confirmed' - its like super-undo, but you can only rollback the last or 'top' revision. If the last editor made multiple revisions you can rollback all of them with one click. However, since you don't have a confirm page, you have to be careful that you dont revert good faith edits. Which is where huggle and TW come in, because you can see the diff and make sure its not a good faith edit. Hope that helps clarify for you, cheers. -petiatil »user»speak 09:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Right, I thought that they all pretty much served the same purpose. I think TW is good enough, as long as it actually functions properly... Thanks for clearing it up though. -Regancy42 (talk) 09:56, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I can explain about the section blanking of Fame Factory
I am sure that Fame Factory is a fictional reality show because Ronan Keating and Ben Shepherd were in their early years with Boyzone and T4 respectively. Also I think Ant & Dec could not have hosted Fame Factory UK. In addition, the BBC and Sky One are not official broadcasters of Ireland and Kosovo respectively. Research this yourself. You'll soon find out this is a fictional reality show.
Umm...
Hi, I only have just received a message from you on my talk page stating that I had removed content from Git (British Slang). I think there has been some sort of mistake. I did not do anything like this and would never remove content from a page without arguing it on the talk page first. I am actually User:Solar Dragon, not logged in, and would never vandalize a wiki as I know how bad it is to have a wiki vandalized (I am a member of many Wikia wikis and am an admin on a lot of them). Just to tell you that it was not me. I know that IPs change so I may have got a vandal's IP so could I remove that comment left by you as I do not like any one to look at that and think anything less of me. Thanks, 92.24.23.91 (talk) 21:19, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Changes Valid
The changes, which you marked invalid at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Sectarian_violence_in_Pakistan?diff=364806399 are actually valid. BTW, I am not the one who posted these changes (this is a shared IP), but still, it's best that you know. 221.120.250.75 (talk) 07:45, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Edits on Demonwars
I know i'm a noob and all, yet aint the wiki suppose to have this sorted better. If there was a section called Plot and I read that I would be full aware spoilers could be available. On this page I can't read any section without the book or series being fully spoiled.
All book descriptions basicly tell you the ending and ruing said book. All twists everything are gived out. I know there are no "Warnings" anymore, yet again aint spoilers suppose to fall under plots or some other section as for this series I looked it up too see how many books etc.. and get an idea what I was getting into.. so Read read.. Boom Series ruined.
Thanks for any feedback or clarification if this is the way it is, then the wikipedia is useless for book research. 198.103.221.51 (talk) 12:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
