I am sorry that was a mistake, I thought you were blanking a page. I realized now that it was a sandbox. Im sorry for any harm I may have caused. Viewratio ( talk) 01:45, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
It showed up in the "May be bad faith" on my recent changes feed. That is how I found out about it. Viewratio ( talk) 01:52, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
For some reason it showed up on my recent changes watchlist. It is a live feed that is updated instantaneously. I don't know why I was notified of a sandbox page. Viewratio ( talk) 01:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for unblocking me. I will definitely stay away from her edits. No harm was meant, I was just trying to stop vandals. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello, I'm CAPTAIN MEDUSA. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Murray Bartlett— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. ___ CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk 20:52, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
CAPTAIN MEDUSA, I think you may be mistaken, I removed unsourced content from the page. Your revert added back unsourced content to the page. But the information is controversial. So we may need to discuss its extent of being there in the talk page of the article. Also by the way, thank you for reverting the changes made to my user page by the vandal user. Viewratio ( talk) 20:55, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Concerning your recent reverts at
Chessmetrics, I fail to see how "removed
WP:OR" it not an explanation for what I did. You might want to take a look at
WP:SYNTH if you're unsure. Also, please
be careful when templating experienced editors, because it gives an impression that you simply reverted the edit without having an in-depth look at it and that you're relying on the boiler-plate template (which is not, in any case, the proper way to start a discussion about the merits of en edit as per
WP:BRD).

I’m not entirely sure on how to respond to talk page messages but I think this is how I’m supposed to do it. Anyway, the cartridge I was referencing was the 7.62 rimmed cartridge itself. I probably should’ve been clearer on that. As for its ability to feed being relevant to performance... probably not. I’ll get that fixed up or you could just reverse the changes. Although I did feel it may be necessary to convey this to potential users. The rimmed design is by no means unreliable, but is usually less so in box magazines than rimless ones. I’ll make sure to cite the specific cartridge I’m referring to, and I’ll let you decide if feeding ability is relevant. Thanks for the input.

It's standard practice to use raw unquoted titles for numbered titles where no episode title exists. See: My Life is Murder; Five Bedrooms; Mr. Black (TV series); Bad Mothers; Bite Club (TV series).

Claude Raymond is a former pitcher. If he was a pitcher, that would mean he was dead. 2607:FEA8:8400:1E9D:28A3:FD0A:C482:5E33 ( talk) 21:57, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
I don't think that it would imply death. Because if I were to say "I was a lawyer at a Washington D.C. law-firm", that would not imply death. The issue with the wording "is a former", is that it is likely it will soon be outdated. Keeping the word "was" means that it is not likely to be outdated soon. Please see [1].

Hi Fred Gandt, sorry the edit seemed potentially malicious because it had an extra e in the middle of the name. So I thought it was a malicious edit and I don't believe it had an edit summary. So I thought someone was doing a test edit of some sort. Ill be more careful in the future. Viewratio ( talk) 19:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Maybe you didn't read my Edit summary? As written there, the change is directly taken from the very next sentence's ref/footnote that already sources it properly.
Copying into the main paragraph simply turns it from something that most people will inadvertently skip over into a proper detail/explanation for the article. Which is how it should be IMO given just how often Webb's suicide is sold as CIA conspiracy. -- 131.188.6.22 ( talk) 18:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Re your revert of my change to Israel–Sweden relations, would you care to familiarise yourself with President of Israel which states:
The President of the State of Israel is the head of state of Israel.
? PM of Israel isn't. I'd appreciate if you remove unwarranted warning from my talk page and revert your change to the aforementioned article. Thanks. 93.182.179.223 ( talk) 06:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
