Hey Hockeycat! Just wanted you to know (as a main contributor the article) that Super Mario Bros. 35 has undergone a GA review progress. There's a list of sections for improvement, so if you're interested, help would be appreciated. Le Panini (^{Talk to}_me?) 23:11, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Edit war on ShinyHunters

Please stop reverting the IP user to re-add the PROD template; that's not how PROD works. From WP:PROD: A nominated page is marked for at least seven days. If nobody has objected during this time the page is considered by an uninvolved administrator who reviews the page and either deletes it or removes the PROD tag. Any objection kills the PROD procedure, and anyone may object as long as the PROD tag is present. If someone removes a PROD template and you wish to continue a deletion process, you need to nominate it at WP:AfD. jp×g 19:19, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Reversion of edit to Second Battle of Sirte

This is regarding a message I received from you here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:2405:201:15:C821:41DD:FDE2:63DA:8359

• Page: Second Battle of Sirte
• Diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_Battle_of_Sirte&type=revision&diff=1014138539&oldid=1014138398

The edit in question was made because the footnotes section had way too much quoted text, which made reading the references quite inconvenient. The quoted text in the footnotes in fact nearly matched the amount of text in the main article! The convention is that generally only a few lines of text from the main source are quoted. Adding in all that text from so many sources may violate the fair use policy.

Therefore, I felt the need to simplify the footnotes section. I believe this was a justified edit, so feel that you should undo the revert.

Speedy deletion declined: Werner Kuhnt

Hello Hockeycatcat. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Werner Kuhnt, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: PROD already contested and playing for a national team is a claim of significance. Plus de-wiki article can be translated to add more content. Thank you. SoWhy 09:58, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

My edit regarding notable Alumna - Livia Krisandova in the page about AAU

Dear Sir,

You have reverted my edit about notable Alumna Livia Krisandova in the page about AAU (Anglo-American University)

In the context of this page, the section entitled 'Notable Alumni' is clearly meant to highlight achievements that can be generally regarded as positive or notable contributions of certain Alumni of this university. Such information about these accomplishments should be, first and foremost, referring to two types of such actions. First, highlighting a specific and remarkable achievement that makes someone notable and/or secondly, an up-do-date record about someone's career success that makes such a person worthy of mentioning.

Unfortunately, the current edit about a young lady called Livia Krisandova, which was made in 2020, and informs about her past employment in Cambridge Analytica (a company that had been dissolved in 2018) was clearly submitted by someone who, out of spite, wished to harm this young lady's reputation in public by highlighting her former career affiliation with Cambridge Analytica, a company that received a gargantuan wave of negative publicity.

Moreover, the current edit in question was made in 2020 in present tense, suggesting the present and continuous nature of such information, which was clearly not accurate at the time of that edit, not to mention that Cambridge Analytica had been dissolved in 2018 - that is two years prior to this edit. This, again, I makes such edit suspiciously obsolete in its informative nature, and very likely aimed, in truth, to diminish further this tung lady's reputation rather than highlighting her real and up-to-date accomplishments from neutral POV, as it should have been done, and as I have attempted to do do in my re-edits.

For these reasons, I have suggested and written down a new record to replace the previous edit(s), which was undoubtedly composed from a negative POV - a non balanced contribution that should be regarded as a violation of wikipedia rules, and should have been replaced with a content of significantly more balanced information or removed altogether.

Last but not least, the sources cited in this current and negative POV edit from 2020 all point out, in fact, to one and only source - a site opened to public and user contributions with no system of verification of submitted information, and therefore it should not be regarded as a reliable source for wikipedia per se. Besides, wikipedia should not serve as a battleground for persons, using it to deliberatively diminish someone's reputation out of spite or, possibly, other personal reasons.

Taken this altogether, I would kindly ask you to consider my request to replace the current edit (which is obsolete, not up-to-date, written from negative POV, aimed to make only negative associations, grounded in unreliable sources) with my suggested edit(s) with relevant sources. Alternatively, I would also recommend removing the current edit from 2020, taking out all the text with unreliable sources, and replacing it with plain and simple information:

Livia Krisandova - London-based Slovakian accomlished political consultant and campaign manager, AAU International Relations graduate (2012).

Thank you for considering my request! Martin M1988 (talk) 13:20, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Dear @Martin M1988:, I apologise for reverting your edit. Feel free to add back what you think is correct. I didn't know that this was the case. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:25, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. An edit that you recently made to Ablie Jagne seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! GiantSnowman 16:03, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Firstly, you did not tag the article for speedy deletion so I unsure what you are talking about. Secondly, why do you think it is eligible for speedy deletion? Please note that I am becoming increasingly concerned by this. GiantSnowman 10:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi @GiantSnowman: I got confused with a different article, so my apologies for that  Self-trout. I changed the article because I think it's weird to put that he died immediately at the start of the article, normally it would just be a birthdate there. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:57, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Hockeycatcat. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi there - please take a moment to read WP:DENY. It's rarely helpful to leave a personalised message on a troll's talk page - just revert their vandalism, report them and ignore them. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 09:08, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

The little mermaid

Hello. As I explained on the talk page, the content I removed consisted of one sentence, a reference and a subsection title called "casting controversy". I did it because for one, I'm under the impression that controversy sections are discouraged, and two, because the one paragraph under "casting controversy" wasn't even really about the controversy. There was one reference to some hashtag on social media that barely even hit the mainstream threshold, and the rest of the paragraph was about unanimous support for the casting. That's not a controversy. I figured it would be the best choice to simply remove this one sentence, and merge the rest of the subsection into the larger Casting section.

In short, the fragment contained undue information, and there was no reason for it to be it's own subsection. I figured this was an improvement. I forgot to leave an edit summary, but I did make a comment on the talk page. My edit was reverted by User:FilmandTVFan28 without explanation. I undid their revert, this time telling him in the edit summary to discuss. 46.97.170.112 (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Continuing issues on NZWPW article

 Completed Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

FOR REFERENCE: This is referring to the users User:SkylerLovefist and User:Socks 01.

You reverted incorrect edits on the New Zealand Wide Pro Wrestling article back in March. Someone else is now arguing against the correct edit claiming without proof that the company is defunct. He is a candidate for a 3RR violation the way he is going and I may need someone else to revert him in order to avoid a 3RR violation myself. I have told him I'll start the reporting process if he reverts again (that will be his third reversion - his limit) and I'll formally warn him on his talk page. If he reverts for a fourth time, I'll report him to the EW noticeboard but I can't revert it which is why I need some help if you could. Addicted4517 (talk) 05:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Addicted4517: I'm sorry that I wasn't available at the time that you left me a message. It seems that the person you mentioned has stopped reverting. I hope you're not too angry that I could not assist in time. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:55, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

That's okay. It hasn't been that long so it's worth continuing to watch. I might have shut him down on the talk page but I can't be sure. It's always good to have extra eyes on an issue. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Addicted4517: I'll keep it on my watchlist! Also, once 24 hours have passed you can revert again if they continue to edit war. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes I was aware of that. Also if you look on the talk page you'll see he has no clue about WP:OR. Pretty sure he'll edit war even if it's outside 3RR. Addicted4517 (talk) 08:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Addicted4517: That's funny and sad at the same time. It's a shame that people don't bother to listen to others. Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:44, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

And now another user is at it. Need help if he reverts again (Socks01 has done this before). Addicted4517 (talk) 08:48, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Addicted4517: I see it. I will help. Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:50, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Here's the previous report Addicted4517 (talk) 09:04, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Addicted4517: Oh, wow, they really are persistent! I'll add the reference to AIV. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

This was not vandalism. Not even close. I was simply edit warring and stopped before the final notice. Edit warring should be reported elsewhere. I didn't even break the 3RR. The changes to articles I made were also very minor. Socks 01 (talk) 09:13, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Socks 01: Persistent edit warring is also seen as vandalism, and you have made too many malicious edits. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:14, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I can't see how changing "is" to "was" or "-present" to "-2018" is malicious. How silly. They were minor edits and your warnings were sent too fast for me to see them. I stopped after the final warning. I was simply trying to add accurate information because the company no longer exists. And have stopped and given up. I guess the page will have to be incorrect then. But this is clearly not malicious editing Socks 01 (talk) 09:18, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Socks 01: We can accept your edits if you provide reliable sources, and not original research. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

The report is excessive and uncalled for. Socks 01 (talk) 09:28, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

On the contrary - it is malicious editing @Socks 01: because there is massive difference between inactive and defunct. According to the course that are available - the information per the current edits is correct. It is not wrong. If it is wrong as Hockeycatcat said you have to provide a source (and not Cage Match because that can only be used for matches and nothing else per the reliable source list). As long as there is no source, the edit is correct. Also, you have disappeared before (in mid 2020) and then come back to continue your disruption. That's why the previous report I made was linked on the report against you. Addicted4517 (talk) 09:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Socks 01: I'm sorry, but that's the rules. When you vandalise after your final warning we have every right to report you. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:30, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I didn't though. You sent the "final" warning at 20:56, 10 May 2021. This was also the same time as the second warning - 20:56, 10 May 2021.

My final edit on any NZWPW related articles was at 20:56, 10 May 2021. So I didn't edit any more after that final warning which was sent too soon anyway. Socks 01 (talk) 09:35, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Socks 01: Don't forget the warnings that you deleted, calling them "sockpuppet crap". Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:36, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Not to mention the query from the admin looking at my complaint that you totally ignored. Addicted4517 (talk) 09:39, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

The one warning I removed was re-added by you. I still never edited disruptively after the final warning. And the final warning was sent at the same time as the other warning. Socks 01 (talk) 09:38, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

You were already being disruptive. Addicted4517 (talk) 09:40, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

@Socks 01:Yes, and the warning I added after you removed it counted as a different warning, so you actually got 5 chances instead of 4. Please stop trying to defend yourself, as you are getting nowhere. You're making me very sad, and I'm sure that Addicted isn't feeling well either. Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:43, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Please don't restore warnings

Hi Hockeycatcat, just a heads-up: users are allowed to remove warnings from their own user talk page, and you should not restore the removed warnings, much less give the user a new warning. At least two of your warnings at User talk:BantiAurBabli are in fact groundless. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 10:19, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding to the above: that user is a sockpuppet of a user who has been blocked several times, so it is not a case of you biting a new good-faith editor, but it is still good to be aware of the fact that removing warnings is not vandalism, and usually not even disruptive. If a user removes a warning, it is taken as a sign that they have seen it, and if they continue doing the things they were warned for they can receive a more severe warning for that behaviour.

I am not here to play.

Listen up buddy I don't care if you are autistic, it doesn't mean that you can take away my privileges as a Wikipedia contributor page I was adding true information that I gathered from sources such as the director of the school and I want you to revert the edit I made to the International School of Amsterdam page. Thank you have a good day. Sincerely, TruFaxPrinter TruFaxPrinter (talk) 11:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC) TruFaxPrinter

Why??

Why isn't Wikipedia censored?????? It totally should be. Comment by 78.149.91.24 - 16 May 2021 at 10:39am (UTC)

@78.149.91.24: On the contrary! Wikipedia should state pure fact, and thus things are written exactly as they appear in real life. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I have never edited whilst not logged in! This really is a shock to me, as I am someone who removes vandalism. I really don't understand this, I logged out, and I don't see any contributions in my history. Editing Wikipedia is a fun hobby of mine, and I don't plan to let that all go away in one fell swoop. Please go into further investigation. Update - I noticed that there is more than one IP address linked to this account, and I can confirm that there are malicious edits present. This was not me. Hockeycatcat (talk) 06:59, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Give me a break. The CheckUser evidence is conclusive. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:16, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: Can you please believe me? I live in an apartment complex. Also, the way that the vandalism is written is not accurate to how I write. Why would I suddenly vandalise after over 2,400 constructive edits? I couldn't find any legal threats, but I withdraw any legal threat that was made on behalf of whoever made a threat. Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

If possible, could you show me the evidence that you mentioned? I will probably be able to point out some flaws. Hockeycatcat (talk) 08:44, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Suggestion Maybe just keep the IP addresses blocked and just unblock this account to prevent vandalism from the IP addresses? Cheers Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:12, 18 May 2021 (UTC) @331dot:

That's all she wrote

And with that, it's time for me to say goodbye. I would like to thank @Panini!: and @Laterthanyouthink: for being some great fellow editors, and to @Ashleyyoursmile: for telling me about the existence of Twinkle and RedWarn. I've had a great 7-and-a-half months editing Wikipedia, but it seems that the administrators don't believe that I wasn't vandalising, thinking I'm blaming LITTLEBROTHER. I hope that I can come back in some form, some day. I love you guys. Cheers and farewell, Hockeycatcat (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to see you go, Hockeycatcat. I was very surprised to see you blocked, because as far as I could see you had been doing good work combating vandalism under this username, and don't know why you would vandalise under an IP. I don't know much about the tools used by the admins, but they seem to be certain. If it is truly an error then I would hope that it can be undone. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:43, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Small request

Hi @AmandaNP: Could you please add {{Semi-retired}} to the top of my user page until I can hopefully return? Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Happy Vesak!

Happy Vesak,
Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia, and a Happy and Blessed Vesak to you and yours! User:JaMongKut (talk) 18:10, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

@JaMongKut: Thank you for wishing me a great Vesak, and for thanking me for my contributions. Unfortunately, I can no longer edit due to this block, which is a shame. I hope that I can come back someday. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 05:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@Hockeycatcat: I see. But, if you are right and truthful, why shame. One day someone will find your block unjust or not necessary and you will come back again. Hope you comeback soon. #Keep On Keeping On. You can refer guidelines for unblock requests such as you can guarantee the admin that (although you know you didn't do that) you will never do such thing, etc.

I can feel you as I've also gone through the same circumstances. JaMongKut (talk) 06:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Panini

@Panini!: - Sorry to be annoying, but I have been having nightmares about the vandalism on Dzhambulat Khatokhov which is still there. I really desperately want to remove it, but I am blocked. Could you please do it because it has been there for a very long time (it is quite obvious). Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 07:42, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey, Hockeycat, I'm very sorry that you've been blocked. I've since tried to appeal for you, but it seems the decision is final. I would suggest also sending this message elsewhere for another pair of eyes; I've been busy recently and only confined to phone editing, so I wont be able to dispose of the vandalism in a correct manner. Panini!^🥪 10:14, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

@Panini!: - I have seen that, and I would like to thank you very much for it. It's very rare that someone stands up for me. In the meantime, the vandalism on Dzhambulat Khatokhov has been removed, so thank you for referring someone if you did! Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 03:02, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I have been editing on the Simple English Wikipedia since I got blocked here, removing vandalism and fixing typos, the same that I have been doing here. All blocks on my IP addresses have since expired. I would love to return to editing here. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 11:44, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I hereby withdraw any legal threat(s) that were/was made using my IP addresses. I can confidently say that nothing like this will ever happen again. While I was blocked, I have made over 2,000 constructive edits to the Simple English Wikipedia, and I have earned rollback rights on that Wikipedia. I really hope that you can give me one final chance. I'm even happy for you to put a One-Strike Rule on me like they have on Simple. Cheers, Hockeycatcat (talk) 14:25, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You still haven't actually admitted to doing something wrong, which would be a necessary, but not sufficient condition for a successful unblock request. --Blablubbs (talk) 13:31, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
