Welcome to my talk page!
 | If you have come here because I have reverted an edit of yours:
|
You can leave a message here. I should respond within my next time I'm active.
Please keep the following in mind:
- My preferred method for replies to threads I've made is using the
:wikitext to indent the reply and using{{ping|TheDragonFire300}}or{{reply to|TheDragonFire300}} - Please make sure messages comply with WP:CIVIL, WP:HARASS and WP:NPA. Failure to comply will result in your messages being ignored/removed, and in the case of WP:HARASS and WP:NPA, a warning being issued.
- If I did something stupid, trout me. Even I make mistakes sometimes. (Counter-vandalism is hard).
- SHOUTING AT ME RARELY MAKES THE SITUATION BETTER.
- There is rarely any need to reply to discussions with a resolved box on it or a discussion in the archives.

Note: If you create formatting errors using the link above, I will correct them for you. I will not edit any other part of your comment.

Just a tiny thing edit
The block on that account that created 3 ANI threads was for NOTHERE, not vandalism-only, (although they did edit the talk page of WP:Vandalism-only account) – 143.208.239.27 (talk) 07:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- A look at SpartanEmpire999 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s contrib history reveals how I made that error; they'd added a trolling edit to Wikipedia talk:Vandalism-only account; that must have stuck in my head when I typed up the close. It's been corrected now, thanks! Regards, User:TheDragonFire300. (Contact me | Contributions). 07:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
