Welcome Viewratio!
I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

editWhy did you do that? El_C 01:15, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Note that I've indefinitely blocked this account until you are able to answer the above question to my satisfaction. El_C 01:22, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
I am sorry that was a mistake, I thought you were blanking a page. I realized now that it was a sandbox. Im sorry for any harm I may have caused. Viewratio (talk) 01:45, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- How did you even know about it, in the first place? El_C 01:46, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
It showed up in the "May be bad faith" on my recent changes feed. That is how I found out about it. Viewratio (talk) 01:52, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
For some reason it showed up on my recent changes watchlist. It is a live feed that is updated instantaneously. I don't know why I was notified of a sandbox page. Viewratio (talk) 01:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I suppose that's plausible enough — but for reasons I am unable to disclose, also highly suspect. I see no harm in unblocking, though, provided you keep away from her edits, indefinitely. El_C 01:54, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for unblocking me. I will definitely stay away from her edits. No harm was meant, I was just trying to stop vandals. Thank you for your understanding. Viewratio (talk) 01:57, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

edit
Hello, I'm CAPTAIN MEDUSA. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Murray Bartlett— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 20:52, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
CAPTAIN MEDUSA, I think you may be mistaken, I removed unsourced content from the page. Your revert added back unsourced content to the page. But the information is controversial. So we may need to discuss its extent of being there in the talk page of the article. Also by the way, thank you for reverting the changes made to my user page by the vandal user. Viewratio (talk) 20:55, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
- Viewratio, sorry about that. I think we had a edit confict when trying to remove the vandal.___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 22:04, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Concerning your recent reverts at Chessmetrics, I fail to see how "removed WP:OR" it not an explanation for what I did. You might want to take a look at WP:SYNTH if you're unsure. Also, please be careful when templating experienced editors, because it gives an impression that you simply reverted the edit without having an in-depth look at it and that you're relying on the boiler-plate template (which is not, in any case, the proper way to start a discussion about the merits of en edit as per WP:BRD). 107.190.33.254 (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- I am sorry 107.190.33.254, I did not see your edit summary. I apologize and I was not trying to start an edit war concerning the merits of the article or the section. Viewratio (talk) 21:06, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- No ill will intended, I just wanted to make sure since this is not the first time I have been reverted like this; and WP:DTTR is good reading in any case. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 21:38, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
7.62x54mmR
editI’m not entirely sure on how to respond to talk page messages but I think this is how I’m supposed to do it. Anyway, the cartridge I was referencing was the 7.62 rimmed cartridge itself. I probably should’ve been clearer on that. As for its ability to feed being relevant to performance... probably not. I’ll get that fixed up or you could just reverse the changes. Although I did feel it may be necessary to convey this to potential users. The rimmed design is by no means unreliable, but is usually less so in box magazines than rimless ones. I’ll make sure to cite the specific cartridge I’m referring to, and I’ll let you decide if feeding ability is relevant. Thanks for the input. That Guy From That Place (talk) 22:50, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
Clique (TV series)
editIt's standard practice to use raw unquoted titles for numbered titles where no episode title exists. See: My Life is Murder; Five Bedrooms; Mr. Black (TV series); Bad Mothers; Bite Club (TV series). And stopping spamming my talk page with erroneous comments about vandalization. 119.224.3.221 (talk) 23:43, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
What are you talking about?
editClaude Raymond is a former pitcher. If he was a pitcher, that would mean he was dead. 2607:FEA8:8400:1E9D:28A3:FD0A:C482:5E33 (talk) 21:57, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
I don't think that it would imply death. Because if I were to say "I was a lawyer at a Washington D.C. law-firm", that would not imply death. The issue with the wording "is a former", is that it is likely it will soon be outdated. Keeping the word "was" means that it is not likely to be outdated soon. Please see [1]. Viewratio (talk) 22:04, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
The overwhelming majority of articles on living retired baseball players use my wording. Would you recommend changing all of them? 2607:FEA8:8400:1E9D:28A3:FD0A:C482:5E33 (talk) 22:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Discussion of disputed spelling
editA discussion is started regarding the spelling of Slash's current girlfriend's first name, to which you are invited, as you have previously been involved in the dispute. Please join the discussion on the article's talk page. Thank you. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 12:51, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
The spelling is now correct. Please take more care reviewing edits you are considering reverting. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 19:07, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Fred Gandt, sorry the edit seemed potentially malicious because it had an extra e in the middle of the name. So I thought it was a malicious edit and I don't believe it had an edit summary. So I thought someone was doing a test edit of some sort. Ill be more careful in the future. Viewratio (talk) 19:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Gary Webb revert
editMaybe you didn't read my Edit summary? As written there, the change is directly taken from the very next sentence's ref/footnote that already sources it properly.
Copying into the main paragraph simply turns it from something that most people will inadvertently skip over into a proper detail/explanation for the article. Which is how it should be IMO given just how often Webb's suicide is sold as CIA conspiracy. -- 131.188.6.22 (talk) 18:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
Okay, sorry about that 131.188.6.22 (talk · contribs). Was just trying to prevent non-sourced information from being introduced, no harm was meant. Viewratio (talk) 18:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
Head of state of Israel
editRe your revert of my change to Israel–Sweden relations, would you care to familiarise yourself with President of Israel which states:
The President of the State of Israel is the head of state of Israel.
? PM of Israel isn't. I'd appreciate if you remove unwarranted warning from my talk page and revert your change to the aforementioned article. Thanks. 93.182.179.223 (talk) 06:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Sorry about that 93.182.179.223 (talk · contribs), was just on recent changes patrol. I was just confused since PM was their prior. No harm was meant. Viewratio (talk) 17:19, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

TagPro
editHello! I received a message saying that some of my changes to the wiki page for the webgame TagPro have been reverted. I am a longstanding member of the TagPro community and I know a lot about it's community and gameplay. My edits to the page were clarification of how the community is organized, the structure of the various leagues etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.225.197 (talk) 05:57, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi there! I did not revert any of your edits. I just wanted to let you know that you can create a draft of a page in a sandbox, so that you don't have to create conflicting back to back edits or test to see how a page looks. Thank you for your contributions to this page, and sorry for the confusion 24.224.225.197. Viewratio (talk) 22:03, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
