Hello, I'm RA0808. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Polylactic acid— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Oshwah. An edit you recently made to Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting 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. Thanks. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:09, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Nightenbelle. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Eskmeals railway station, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please 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. Thanks. Nightenbelle (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Beland: What is the motivation behind this post? 10 of these 14 diffs are changes that you did not in fact fix, and the last just links to this page. The most recent is from Sep 2022 and some of these go back as far as Feb 2017. There are already warnings in place on this page for multiple of these diffs. You haven't asked anything of the IP, and it feels as though you just want to label them a vandal, not actually communicate with them. So altogether, what is the point of this? GabberFlasted (talk) 11:45, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GabberFlasted: I tried to eliminate duplicates, but you're right; Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting and Polylactic acid are duplicates. Most of them were fixed by other people, but if you noticed any that are still unfixed, then feel free to point them out and I'll be happy to fix those too. This IP address is for a school, not for one person, so I'm not sure there's a point in attempting to communicate with them. I was not trying to talk to anyone at the school, but rather talking about the contributions from this IP, in order to give background for the AN/I thread I opened in the next section, which you actually responded to. I thought it would also be helpful to document which contributions have been checked for vandalism, so the next time it happens whoever investigates doesn't have to go back through the whole history. -- Beland (talk) 17:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FTR, the recommendation was to apply {{school block}} for a one-year duration if this happens again, which would require people to sign up for an account off campus in order to edit while on-campus. -- Beland (talk) 19:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
