Revert

I'm sorry, did you have a non-douche reason for adding "poke her anus" back to the UFC 184 page? --Heitz669 (talk) 04:36, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

For warning ClueBot NG, here's a little something from me as a generous reward...

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 03:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Your signature

Bobherry, I've noticed that your signature contains bright colors that may be difficult for some people to read. I strongly suggest that you take a look at WP:SIGAPP and consider changing your signature's appearance accordingly. If you have any questions or need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Happy editing! MJ94 (talk) 03:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Important: Rollback Permissions revoked

Hello,

I have temporarily revoked your rollback permissions based on multiple concerns regarding your use of the permissions. Specifically, this edit shows that you are not reviewing your reverts before performing a rollback. Accordingly, I am revoking your rollback permissions for not less than 3 weeks. Please re-apply to Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback once you have reviewed the criteria for rollback. Thanks, Nakon 04:27, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I note in passing that I concur with Nakon's decision here. If you are going so fast that you're rolling back ClueBot and leaving templated messages on a bot's talk page, then you're going too fast to recognize valid edits. I encourage you to try this exercise: For each edit that you would ordinarily roll back, instead undo the edit and leave a handwritten message on the user's talk page explaining what the problem is with the edit. (This is vandalism, this is removing sourced material, etc.) It is harder, but it will help you to more thoroughly understand and articulate the problem edits you see. Risker (talk) 04:40, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Risker, technically he never reverted Cluebot, but cluebot did revert another user trying to remove a "bad" word" from that article in question..--Stemoc 05:08, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

This is a better example. Two reverts to reinstate material that was correctly removed. At least you figured out you'd made an error, but in the meantime the IP (a potential new editor) is being confused. Risker (talk) 05:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

I have to point out that slapping a 4im as the second warning is inappropriate. Zhaofeng Li [talk ♦ contribs] 05:44, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Your relist at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hayrettin Karaoğuz

Hi, thanks for helping out at AfD, but please be sure to read relevant policies before relisting AFDs, especially as non-admins. Specifically, the policy writes, "debates should not be relisted more than twice. Users relisting a debate for a third (or further) time, or relisting a debate with a substantial number of commenters, should write a short explanation (in addition to the {{relist}} template) on why they did not consider the debate sufficient." You left no such explanation. It is important to read the policies before you begin to do work with them; your request to join AfC without meeting requirements, your addition to Gamergate against MOS, and this relist, along with your recent revoke of rollback leads me to believe that this is definitely an area you could improve in. Perhaps Kudpung would like to weigh in on this... Cheers, — kikichugirl ^speak up! 06:42, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Well, I appreciate their enthusiasm, but with only 300 edits to mainspace Bobherry shouldn't really be doing any maintenance tasks at all. Instead they should be doing what most people come here for: to build the content of an encyclopedia. Most maintenance areas require at least several months on Wikipedia and at least 500 mainspace edits to really know how things work here. The one exception is reverting vandalism, with 200 mainspace edits a user can enroll at the WP:CVUA to learn how to do it. The AfD area is certainly far too advanced. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:54, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your guidance

I have changed my username per your instructions. I noticed that the spelling of Mary Rutherfurd Jay for the page I suggested was already changed to Rutherford with an "o" which is alarming because one of the reasons there is very little known about her is that people frequently spelled her name wrong!! So part of my research has been affirmatively locating and confirming the many articles about her that were buried or invisible because of misspelling. Would it be helpful to explain that in the body of the article? Many thanks JayHeritageCenter (talk) 10:47, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Probably not but you should confirm with someone else also. Have a nice day!Bobherry Userspace Talk to me! Stuff I have done 21:25, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Rollback Granted

So I have the links

Hi Bobherry/Archive menu2015/March. After reviewing your request for rollback, 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:New admin school/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! Bobherry Userspace Talk to me! Stuff I have done 00:53, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
