25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions&nbsp;to :The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends ↗. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments ↗ to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. You can also install the userscript ↗ found here to help find and eliminate these errors.

Removal of Content



The material was not removed from the article. The spellings were taken out of the lead and placed in the etymology section instead, as these forms are archaic and no longer in current use. Cooker2026 (talk) 19:15, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

:Still, make sure you use the edit summary so you avoid situations like that from happening. <span style="font-size:1.2em;font-family:eurofurence;background:#368ec9;color:white">Jalen Barks</span> <span style="background:#6babd6;color:black">(Woof)</span> 19:16, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
::Can you confirm if I can restore them with the appropriate edit notes? Cooker2026 (talk) 19:18, 10 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I've already looked at your edits before reverting. Despite the lack of an edit summary, your edits were completely fine. <span style="font-size:1.2em;font-family:eurofurence;background:#368ec9;color:white">Jalen Barks</span> <span style="background:#6babd6;color:black">(Woof)</span> 19:20, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Biserial correlation ↗



Hello, you have just reverted my edit on Biserial correlation ↗. Please notice this article started with this 2025 edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Point-biserial_correlation_coefficient&diff=1274365024&oldid=1273601000 ↗ I made when I noticed the formula for biserial correlation coefficient was wrong (inconsistent with the source, Sheskin) in the point-biserial correlation ↗ article.
From then on, I collected literature and verified the formula and definition with other sources. When ready, I prepared the article in my native language (Polish): pl:Współczynnik_korelacji_dwuseryjnej ↗. When the article was more or less ready, I translated it, and – yes – asked the language models to correct language errors and help format the citations, which I think is allowed?

In your message you claim the article „may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems”. Please be informed that I read the articles. I also verified the formulas using R and Excel, hence the 2025 edit I mention in the beginning. Could you pinpoint which of the statements may be inaccurate or which citation may be fictitious? In short, the article is the result of my verification and data gathering conducted over the last year. Blakocha (talk) 05:50, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

:Self-correction: It seems I started researching the topic for wikipedia in 2023 with this edit: https://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wsp%C3%B3%C5%82czynnik_korelacji_dwuseryjnej&diff=71977231&oldid=48973653 ↗ Blakocha (talk) 06:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
:Seeing this, I have to retract my claim, as translations using AI are allowed per WP:LLMTRANSLATE ↗. Basically, the use here does not create factual inaccuracies, but may contain some of the other tells, like tone or writing style, which is what I saw when reverting. In the future, please declare AI translation in the edit summary to avoid this situation from happening. <span style="font-size:1.2em;font-family:eurofurence;background:#368ec9;color:white">Jalen Barks</span> <span style="background:#6babd6;color:black">(Woof)</span> 06:15, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
::Ok, I will reintroduce the article soon, just please advise where the tone or writing style seems wrong. It may be me, not a language model... Blakocha (talk) 06:25, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Be careful with outing



Hi, I'm not here to give you grief, only to help you avoid getting into trouble with outing ↗. It was a while ago now, but on one user's talk page you spelled out their IRL name, position and employer, and linked to their LinkedIn profile, then asked them to confirm this was really them. On this occasion it was pretty obvious all along, and they readily admitted it, so it's perhaps debatable whether that amounts to actual outing, but it comes pretty close at least. Please be more careful in the future. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:53, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
