Welcome

{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|forever}}
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

'''Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is and is not ↗'''. Wikipedia is '''not''' just another news, forum, blog/webhost, promotional/advertising/directory, or social networking site. It '''is''' a place for serious, collaborative, scholarly assembly of knowledge about notable ↗ subjects into a high-quality encyclopedia ↗, with verifiable ↗ references ↗ to independent, reliable sources ↗. Many people come here with other expectations and have a difficult time as a result.

Introduction ↗ and Getting started ↗

Contributing to Wikipedia ↗

The five pillars of Wikipedia ↗

How to edit a page ↗ and How to develop articles ↗

Simplified Manual of Style ↗

Please remember to sign ↗ your messages on talk page ↗s by adding a space and four tilde ↗s to the end of the last line of your post, like this:
<pre>
This is the last line of the post. ~~~~
</pre>
The tildes will be automatically converted to a signature that contains your linked username and a timestamp to help keep conversations organized. I will sign mine accordingly with hopes you will remember me and will feel free to ask me any questions you have--or just say hi! Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:13, 15 October 2025

Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|pending changes reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits ↗ on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges ↗, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages ↗.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

AIV and UAA

{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|forever}}
Hi, and thank you for fighting vandalism! Regarding this ↗, there are dedicated pages for reporting vandalism (WP:AIV ↗) and violations of the username policy ↗ (WP:UAA ↗), so you don't need to go through ANI. You can report accounts to there using Twinkle by going to their userpage -> clicking the TW dropdown -> clicking ARV. '''Hurricane''''''Zeta'''C ↗ 23:50, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

:Thank you so much, this will be much easier. Happy editing! Dafootballguy (talk) 03:13, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

Rollback granted

{{User:ClueBot III/DoNotArchiveUntil|2088975503}}

Hi Dafootballguy. After reviewing your request, I have enabled ↗ '''rollback ↗''' on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle ↗ or Ultraviolet ↗. It just adds a ''[rollback]'' button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.

Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism {{emu|only}}. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see {{section link|Wikipedia:Rollback|When to use rollback}}.

Rollback should never be used to edit war ↗, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the permission will be revoked.

Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ''ask!''

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback ↗ (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback ↗. Good luck and thanks! * Pppery * it has begun... 15:28, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

|text = On 2 May 2026 ↗, '''Did you know ↗''' was updated with a fact from the article '''''Valentin Senn ↗''''', which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ''... that NFL player '''Valentin Senn ↗''' used to play the trumpet in the Swarovski Orchestra?'' The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Valentin Senn ↗. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Valentin Senn ↗), and the hook may be added to the statistics page ↗ after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it ↗.

About your reversion

Just letting you know that I reverted your edit on List of unreleased projects by Kanye West ↗, because the editor did provide a reason for their deletion. If you look at the text they removed, you'll see that the source is a YouTube channel that doesn't have any clear connection to Kanye. Thank you. Streetr4 (talk) 00:24, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

:Thanks for the notice. I wasn't aware of the reason. I appreciate you letting me know. In solidarity ↗ '''Dafootballguy''' '''Want to talk?''' 00:25, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

underscores

Hi, I removed the EPs from her discography section to clean it up. Most artists' Wikipedia pages list only their studio albums and collaborative albums in the discography section. Due7e7z7 (talk) 20:34, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

:OK. In solidarity ↗ '''Dafootballguy''' '''Want to talk?''' 23:36, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Legitimate edit

Why did you roll back my edit to Tourism in South Africa ↗? It was properly cited and I wanted to add more. ~2026-38558-95 ↗ (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

:It was disruptive and unhelpful. It also violated a MOS ↗. In solidarity ↗ '''Dafootballguy''' '''Want to talk?''' 00:00, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Improper reversion

Hi, I appreciate your concern, but I provided very detailed justification for my edits on Goldman Sachs controversies ↗. I would appreciate you reading those edit summaries and then reverting what you just did because your reversion of my edits was improper. Thanks! ~2026-38341-14 ↗ (talk) 00:11, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

LTAs

Hello, please use the term "LTA" sparingly, many of the accounts you've been reporting as LTAs just aren't LTAs. In fact, you reported ~2026-37617-30 ↗ as an "LTA" after you made a revert for "block evasion" (here ↗) that just isn't even block evasion as far as I can tell. – LuniZunie(talk) 01:50, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

:::Just because the IP may be a proxy does not mean it is block evasion or an LTA, in fact most of the time it does not mean that. – LuniZunie(talk) 01:55, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

stop

You keep harassing me for no reason. You said that I removed all of the content from an article even though I never did anything like that at all, and not only that, but you also told me to stop vandalizing articles when I literally never did that and I was just trying to help by fixing grammar mistakes. At least tell me why you're doing this. Lowconstruction123 (talk) 14:07, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Leader of the Opposition in the Lumbini Provincial Assembly ↗ G5

Hi! You tagged this page for G5. I don't see a block for the TA or any immediately obvious signs of socking. Could you specify who the believed sockmaster is here? Rusalkii (talk) 16:42, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: :User:Lowconstruction123/sandbox ↗

Hello Dafootballguy, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of :User:Lowconstruction123/sandbox ↗, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Looks like test edits in a user's own sandbox. You may wish to review the WP:CSD{{!}}Criteria for Speedy Deletion ↗ before tagging further pages. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Stop warring

Stop edit warring and removing stuff without even attempting to look at sourcing. You've been editing since Oct 2025? Cool, 6 months bro. I was editing on Wikipedia a decade ago buddy. TrentBasherMasher (talk) 05:17, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Where do I put the source. I'm a new editor.

after I have finished editing where do I put the source. Ashik Ahmed0123 (talk) 05:32, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

:See Help:Referencing for beginners ↗, that tells you how to use inline citations ↗ to source your content. (Sorry for stealing your question, Dafootballguy) Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 14:47, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Opinion Polling for the next Japanese general election

Hello. I would like to explain why "Yoron Radar" is unsuitable for inclusion on this page, given its unique characteristics. Anyone who analyzes Japanese public opinion polls while based in Japan would realize that Yoron Radar never appears in the results of such surveys. This is because it employs a survey methodology that differs fundamentally from standard polls—a distinction rooted in the fact that the Japanese term *世論調査* does not always equate directly to the English term "opinion poll." Related to this, you will likely observe that the trends in Yoron Radar’s figures diverge significantly from those of other established public opinion polls; the details of this are evident in the analysis results provided in the Japanese-language reports. The issue lies not only in its unique methodology—which sets it apart from standard "opinion polls"—but also in the high frequency of its surveys. Conducting surveys four to five times as often as other organizations creates a strong likelihood of significant overall bias. For these reasons, as previously mentioned, Yoron Radar rarely features in analyses of Japanese public opinion. I therefore argue that it should not be grouped together with other polls in the same table. ~2026-38688-34 ↗ (talk) 23:34, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Reverted Jovan Raskovic Edits

Hi Dafootballguy, not sure why my edit on the Jovan Raskovic page was reverted, I thought my edit comment gave sufficient explanation.

I haven't edited much on Wikipedia so would appreciate any additional clarification—thanks Pljvc (talk) 04:56, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

:Removing a large amount of information is not allowed, that was the issue. In solidarity ↗ '''Dafootballguy''' '''Want to talk?''' 04:04, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
