Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Cassiopeia talk 01:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "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.

Rollback granted

Hi VolatileAnomaly. 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 - that's all. 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 only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
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 rights will be revoked.
Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

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:Administrators' guide/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 trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, VolatileAnomaly. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary account IP viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
Access should not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with an IP address or CIDR range.

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:27, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stay blessed 33's constant edits are out of control

This user keeps on reverting edits, even accusing me of getting "information wrong" with no real reason of what was "wrong". It's starting to be concerning. It's all over Whitney Houston's concert pages. We may need to semi-lock the articles since he just joined the site just weeks ago but had been editing under a different but similar name. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 00:09, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stay blessed 33 and BrothaTimothy, pinging both of you to try and figure out the situation. In the meantime please stop reverting one another, this is disruptive on both sides and can lead to an edit war block (see WP:3RR). — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 01:41, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You got it. I'll let you guys handle it. :) Thanks. I really do need to leave this alone. BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 01:47, 2 September 2025 (UTC) BrothaTimothy (talk · contribs) 01:47, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh don't worry about it. Initially, I thought this was possibly a content dispute that could be solved through discussion. But then I did some investigating and I see what you mean by the "different but similar name". This is now a matter for WP:SPI. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 01:57, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just made the report and pinged accordingly, if you have anything else to add regarding Stay blessed 33's use of multiple accounts feel free to do so. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 02:16, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This guy is doing this just to be mean. Whitney's website has her album release on a certain day and he intentionally changes it to the wrong date. Also the amount of dates for each leg of the tour helps me and others with disabilities understand. Stay blessed 33 (talk) 10:14, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
