Wiki Vandalism Reports

 
this should be here
 
It's because Roku is a 4/4 and Grizzly Bears are 2/2, but as funny as that is, definitely vandalism.
 
Also, Jinx reverted an edit made by an admin, but I can see why. Edits made by admins generally shouldn't be reverted, but I see why Jinx did it and it seems well-intentioned.

No warning needed, I'm adding that profile back differently.

A) Theres no way to differentiate an edit from an admin from the page visually. I didn't look at the History, and even then its a disambiguation page.

B) Leon Kuwata has his surname to differentiate him from other Leons. In my experience, and with others removing my similar edits in the past, we don't need to include them alongside the main list since theres a way to separate the profile. How it looks now is fine too, i just went for the easier option.

Not even worth calling it vandalism personally, its obviously not ill-intentioned

I know. I said I understood what happened, how and why.

It's fine. The way I changed it is actually the correct way to do it, but it's fine, I know why you did what you did.

Read my post. I said no warning is needed, and it's well-intentioned. I always report things even if they could only be interpreted as such and often just to clarify why they're not vandalism. Please calm down.
 
Well there are multiple other Leons with a surname to add as well in that case.
I've added a place for them, I can revisit that and add them in time.
I'm not mad? I doubt it would have been interpreted as vandalism by anyone else regardless
I said there's no problem, please move on. I mentioned it here because I mention every such thing I find here for a record.
 
You're making it out as if i'm mad or causing an issue?

Future reference but telling someone whose being nothing but formal in explaining their thinking to 'calm down' after one post feels ragebaiting.

Can't this be dropped? I said there's no issue, I told you exactly why it was reported as a record of things done, and I said in my first post that it seems well-intentioned. This thread isn't just for vandalism despite the name.
 
I mean it can, but please dont try and ragebait next time. Making it out as if someone is being angry or informal when they're not while you hold a position of power is only going to escalate a situation. I would have every right to explain my own reasoning in my own terms regardless of if people believe they understood intentions.

(Thread should be reserved for genuine vandalism that breaches wiki rules but its w/e)
 
He wasn't ragebaiting. He mentioned something that might technically be classified as "vandalism", and then clarified it wasn't actually bad. When you defended yourself, he tried to clarify, which made you think he was rage-baiting. He's trying to communicate that to you, and also the importance that this thread does not get clogged.

We can move on. Do not clog the thread further.
 
"Read my post. I said no warning is needed, and it's well-intentioned. I always report things even if they could only be interpreted as such and often just to clarify why they're not vandalism. Please calm down."
Implying i didn't read the post and that i need to calm down, misintepreting the tone that in turn looks ill-reflective on me.

No, its not a big issue but it doesn't mean i don't want to address it, because it very much is counter productive.

Even if unintentional then yes, you can very much interpret that as escalating. Theres 0 need to word it like that and pretend as if i'm being angry. That literally only serves one purpose other than to try and get on someones nerves (a.k.a ragebait). It doesn't promote formality either, which you need on this wiki even while disagreeing with points, if mods are going to interpret every slight pushback as someone being angry or overly upset.

Im fine dropping it, but I can't accept people pretending like this isn't the wrong way to say things, especially if the wiki does not want to give leeway on wording any conflicting edits as 'vandalism'.

Unwatching now anyway so i have no choice but to ignore it

Why does every post involving this user turn into unnecessary mudslinging and victim-playing? It even seems like Random-Helper323 was trying to defend and justify the changes.

Anyways this user is an obvious sock puppet but it hasn't been banned yet, beware for vandalism.

It's not vandalism, but the thread has been called that all along. People report all kinds of edits that should be looked at here regardless of being vandalism or not, and that's necessary or else we wouldn't have anywhere to report them and fix them. If we make other threads for questionable edits that aren't vandalism, we'll have even more confusion than we already have with this and the RVR thread. And if you look at the slew of nonsense pages and edits being made lately by what is probably all one person, you'll see one example of how vandalism is a problem here and a valid name for the thread.

Because i defend myself when necessary. If people are going to attempt to goad and misinterpret my words, my tone or my actions, then I will always speak up about it. Even now you're saying im 'playing some victim' (theres not an incident to begin with) as opposed to me not appreciating the implicatitons of a response given. The user in question has also prior misinterpreted past events in a serious discussion, so I am extra alert at covering for any misconceptions

No one else would like it if it was them 🤷‍♂️ Blue names have a right to respond to that

This honestly could've easily avoided if Random's reply to Jinx just said "Alright, thanks" at the end instead of

"Read my post. I said no warning is needed, and it's well-intentioned. I always report things even if they could only be interpreted as such and often just to clarify why they're not vandalism. Please calm down."

The last part was especially unnecessary. Jinx's response was less confrontational compared to Random's response to Jinx's response, which is why we're now here with this back and forth.
 
Exactly, it was made to seem like I was exploding out of nowhere or not reading a prior post (I was speaking on my own behalf as opposed to Random giving his personal interpretation, which would be more explanatory in this case). If theres a content moderator interpreting something wrongfully aggressive, then that means i will respond back to correct it, since there are other implications that can apply (and this is from direct experience with this exact mod)

Again its not a big issue, and i hate when it has to become a big thing because of escalation, knowingly or unknowingly. I just don't want things made to seem like i am not keeping a civil tongue
 
Jinx came in accusing me of framing their edit as vandalism when I didn't. I tried to de-escalate, and this happens.
I didn't, I explained it on my own behalf. I'm surprised it is even considered worthy of mentioning, the disambiguations are for duplicate named pages mainly.

While i dont appreciate the wiki's loose definition of "vandalism" (since theres a clear difference between actual vandalism and a conflict of editing styles) being another escalatory term, and I don't think its necessary to log it in any capacity since i feel no one else would interpret it as vandalism like you would, I never believed it was you trying to report me for anything or frame it.
What i do however feel you were framing me of doing, was being hostile and not reading a prior post. When that literally just was not the case, and like i explained, feels like it is instigating a reaction instead.
I can give you a response, but not in the way you think. Theres no aggression but i am being firm

This thread is called wiki vandalism reports and while you said you can see why and that you wouldn't give a warning, that is not a 1 to 1 for not calling it vandalism. Edit: to be clear, I also don't think you meant to say vandalism, but it's understandable Jinx may have seen this differently.

I'm sorry for this, but calling that statement de-escalation is just untrue. De-escalation would've been saying "Alright, thanks" or "No problem (maybe emoji?)" or something among those lines.

"Read my post. I said no warning is needed, and it's well-intentioned. I always report things even if they could only be interpreted as such and often just to clarify why they're not vandalism. Please calm down."

This is a defense, not de-escalation. This post is not an accusation and I am not going to say you meant to make this seem like an attack, a defense or that you were trying to say Jinx was committing vandalism. However, what came out was absolutely a defense, and I've even bolded that parts that were somewhat provoking.

Again, this can easily be dropped. You can apologize for somewhat defense language, Jinx apologizes for the escalation from your statements and we don't need to have more back and forth. But I don't want to see the third post in this chain being considered de-escalation, because I would consider that wrong. No attempts to de-escalate were visible in that statement.

You are literally the one accusing and the one escalating. You accuse me of framing your edit as vandalism because you don't like the thread name, I repeatedly begged you to end this thing and you accuse me of threatening or something. I was already treading lightly around you because of how touchy you are (why do you think I was saying so little in my responses?), and this happens. Just how much more do I have to walk on eggshells around you to not get this response for doing my job?

My disliking towards loosely calling anything "vandalism" is from a completely separate incident (Fixing a page that was pre-emptively made too early being considered "vandalism" and punishable). It has nothing to do with your report, and is just a gripe i have in general that I don't plan on doing anything about (unless anyone genuinely wants to hear me out)

Simply dont use instigative phrases when not necessary. You don't have to respond or refer to me personally either if its difficult, especially when its something as minor and negligent as this edit (which even you agree wasn't done wrongly). Its wasn't even breaking any rules, since its not an edit done through a staff/mod's authority of power, and instead is just them adding a name to the disambiguation list that even you agree was done incorrectly.

I wasn't being hostile, nor aggresive, and im sorry if you genuinely interpreted it that way somehow so theres no need for you to talk down on me and tell me to publically calm down when I was speaking completely normally and impersonally.
