Thank you for
your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to
Bollocks, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with
Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the
reversion of clear-cut
vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you.

I've just seen a label telling me I have vandalized a page I have never visited and have not edited. Please advise, as this has me very worried.
EvieBoleyn ( talk) 20:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
The page was Mean (the mathematical concept) The apparent vandalism was the insertion of the phrase "How could you be so mean?", a phrase that I simply wouldn't use. I'm trying to retrace my steps to find the label again but I can't find it. I became a little lost in unfamiliar pages looking for help. It was a yellow label with a darker yellow border. I believe the only Wiki page I had open at the time was Robert A. Heinlein.[User:EvieBoleyn|EvieBoleyn]] ( talk) 21:13, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Well, it's not impossible that I might have accidentally pasted whatever was on my clipboard, but the chances of my clipboard contents being even slightly relevant to the word "mean" by sheer coincidence are so slim that it's almost impossible. It did identify me by IP though, not by username. The label popped up only very recently, because it wasn't there when I first opened the Heinlein page. It must have happened no more than an hour before I sought help. Whatever the cause, I'm as concerned about my standing with Wikipedia as I am about someone using my account. I've only made one contribution so far and I wouldn't want to get kicked out before I've even started. EvieBoleyn ( talk) 21:42, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
No, thank you very much for your help. Be assured I'm not likely to edit with alternate accounts or without logging in and I certainly wouldn't do it intentionally. Thanks again, Seagull :) EvieBoleyn ( talk) 22:33, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
