A barnstar for you!

	The Minor barnstar
	Thank you very much for your prompt response and excellent editing on a semi-protected article. J850NK (talk) 19:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and no problem, happy to help! Skingo12 (talk) 11:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

Hello, I'm Hockeycatcat. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Telugu Americans have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. I know this may not have been intentional, but this racist text has been on this page for quite a while. Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hockeycatcat, I am so sorry, I was actually trying to remove that but must have either reverted it after it had already been removed, or possibly just muddled up the add and remove sides. Skingo12 (talk) 10:29, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, everyone makes mistakes! I could tell that you didn't mean it! Hockeycatcat (talk) 10:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Thank you for reverting the edit to IPhone 12! You beat me to it! You not only removed the edit, but more importantly - you correctly identified the issue and warned the user for not adhering to a neutral point of view, which is why I'm leaving you this barnstar. Most people on Huggle in this situation would just quickly and carelessly press the shortcut key to revert the edit as vandalism and warn them for such, which is not the correct thing to do. You didn't do this. Thank you very much for your hard work, and for your time and energy patrolling recent changes. It's a thankless job to perform, and I wanted you to know that it's appreciated greatly. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I caught you a second time doing the right thing! You correctly reverted this edit to Lists of websites citing that it was an inappropriate external link. Please keep doing what you're doing! You're doing a great job and I really appreciate it! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:47, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oshwah thanks so much! I am glad my contributions were noticed and appreciated! Sometimes it can feel like it's just you against every vandal on Wikipedia. This sort of message never goes unappreciated. Thanks again, Skingo12 (talk) 11:42, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! You deserve it! Patrolling recent changes is very thankless, and it can be draining to many Wikipedians to constantly be insulted, harassed, and treated like garbage from trolls, vandals, and users who are just here to disrupt the project in bad faith. It's definitely not for everyone! Don't let the trolls get to you though! You're doing a great job and your time and dedication is highly needed and appreciated. If you need anything, please know that my user talk page is always open to you, and you're welcome to message me there any time you need or want to. :-) I hope you have a great day, and I wish you happy editing! Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted some content because I'm trying to get the page to a better quality content page. What I removed was what I thought to be less encyclopedic. The page is listed as a "Start" and I would like to make the page better.

I would really like some help going over the page and get feedback on what needs to be changed. Can you help with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin30995 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Justin30995 I will be happy to help you, just give me a day or two. Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 23:11, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Looking forward to it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Justin3099 (talk • contribs)

What references should i use that would be considered notable? She has a lot that has been written about her and quoted that are independent, reliable, published sources.

CVUA graduation

CVU Academy Graduate

Congratulations from both myself and all of the instructors at the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy on your successful completion of the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy. You completed your final exam with a score of 93%. Well done!

Skingo12 - seriously, well done. Your record of reverting vandalism over the course greatly outpasses the final exam mark - the most out of all the trainees I have observed so far. You have an unrelenting commitment to fighting vandalism on Wikipedia, which I commend you for - congrats once again :-) Pahunkat (talk) 21:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And one last thing - at the start of the course, I stated I would copy the training page into your userspace for future reference. Would you like me to do that? Pahunkat (talk) 21:05, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Pahunkat that would be great! I also just wanted to thank you for teaching me, always being patient and answering my questions and mainly for encouraging me throughout the course. I'm really glad I impressed and I hope we bump into each other again! Thanks again, Skingo12 (talk) 15:38, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Skingo12, No problem, it's been a pleasure training you! I'm sure we'll bump into each other again somewhere in Wikipedia, such is the nature of counter-vandalism. And getting a barnstar from the one and only Oshwah is not an everyday achievement either, I just noticed that :-) Pahunkat (talk) 15:57, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied the page into User:Skingo12/CVUA - FYI, we had an LTA target the original training page's talk page. Pahunkat (talk) 16:05, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lenny Smith

You removed the edit I made where Scripture in Song is referred to as being an Australian company. That is inaccurate. It is a New Zealand company established by David & Dale Garratt. You can add back the link should you choose. I was simply trying to correct the error, and thought the link would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.62.255 (talk) 17:11, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, firstly thanks for engaging and not just adding it again. Secondly, I’m afraid that even if it was helpful it breached our external links policy. If you like you can re read the guidance and add it in the appropriate place? Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 17:59, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear States Article

I am sorry I was researching for a project and on my screen, the North Korea section was removed so I re-added it (probably in the wrong spot) and I was attempting to fix it, thank you for your help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prestige.Spooky (talk • contribs) 19:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prestige.Spooky, no problem! Most of the time content removals are a good faith accident. That’s why it’s always helpful to leave an edit summary. Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 23:21, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Confederate monuments

Hello. You left a message on my current IP's talk page telling me that I have removed content on this article without explaining why. I believe this to be a misunderstanding. I have made my reasons for the removal of that content clear several times on the article's talk pade, namely that the text I have removed consists of improperly sourced opinions mostly attributed to primary sources, and express fringe theories that were included purely for the sake of WP:FALSEBALANCE.

I initially removed all sections separately, giving lengthy explanations for my reasoning, but the removal was reverted by User:Washuotaku who insisted that there should be some consensus on the removal first (even though there was never any consensus to include those entries in the first place). He tagged three users who previously contributed to the page.

Two of these users responded, namely User:GoingBatty and User:Deisenbe, and they have agreed that my removals were justified, or at least that my reasons valid. I waited several days for further input, and after Diesenbe explicitly stated that he agrees with me, I removed the sections again, this time in a single go, and once again explaining my rationale.

Within one day, the removal was reverted again, this time by User:Anachronist, who insisted that all viewpoints on the subject need to be proportionally represented, while ignoring my reasoning that the sections I removed were in fact WP:FRINGE.

I gave Anachronist a lengthy response explaining my rationale as to why those sections should be removed in great detail. Over a day passed since then and the only response I got was Washuotaku repeating the same talking point about a need for "consensus", while all of my arguments were ignored. I went ahead and removed the offending sections a third time, leaving a message on the talk page, explaining that zero counterarguments have been provided against my deletions, even after a whole work week, and therefore I will remove the sections one more time.

Now as you can see, my edits were made in good faith, were in line with site policy, have been agreed on by other editors, and in five day's time, nobody could provide a single argument as to why I'm wrong for removing four and a half paragraphs that very clearly don't meet wikipedia's standards. This is an issue that has been going on all week, and I simply don't know what else I can do. I didn't think it would be this complicated to simply help uphold wikipedia's policies. 46.97.170.19 (talk) 15:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP user sorry about that, you were correct in saying it was a misunderstanding. Skingo12 (talk) 15:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)The semi-automated software I use always doesn't always show the talk page. It is still important to mention in your edit description that you have reached consensus on the talk page because of this, however you did do the correct thing apart from that. Also just so you know, it's not usually necessary to reach consensus before adding new information. Apologies again, Skingo12 (talk) 15:36, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No harm done, although I suspect the edits will be undone yet again, and I will receive some kind of edit war warning. 46.97.170.19 (talk) 15:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@46.97.170.19:, just remember to say you reached consensus and everything will be fine :-) Skingo12 (talk) 15:46, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And I'd like to go on record as saying that all viewpoints do NOT have to be given proportional representation. deisenbe (talk) 18:36, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The word "proportional" is the key. It does not mean equal weight. A minority viewpoint should be given minority weight, if reliable sources describe those viewpoints.

And to @46.97.170.19: I am sorry but I never did see any reply you directed toward me. I saw no notification. I reverted your edit because it appeared to include removal of valid citations to reliable sources. That was my primary objection. To the extent that fringe views get reliable coverage, they merit a mention. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:58, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you tell me more?

Hi, Skingo12. I’m not sure of the policys of editing. Could you maybe post them? Don’t worry, I’ll continue editing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.6.242.22 (talk) 11:16, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I’ve left a list of links on your talk page. Please don’t hesitate to ask me or any other editor for help! :-) Skingo12 (talk) 11:37, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A pie for you!

Can we be good friends ? いちかかすが (talk) 13:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ichika Kasuga, of course! I hope to see you around! If you ever need anything, I'm always happy to help! Skingo12 (talk) 23:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, if you think you're ready go ahead and make a draft! Just make sure you've read the appropriate guidelines first. Thanks, Skingo12 (talk) 22:40, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your kind response. Have a wonderful day. いちかかすが (talk) 13:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Moved page

Hi, Skingo12 - I moved your training page to User talk:Atsme/NPP trainingS12. I suddenly found myself with 3 students at one time, and needed to reorganize the archives. Atsme 💬 📧 12:35, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Atsme. I have now completed the summaries and am ready to complete any review exercises as nessescary. Thanks again, Skingo12 (talk) 02:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I pinged you at the NPP training page a few days ago. Is everything ok? Atsme 💬 📧 00:27, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi, Atsme sorry for the delay. I needed (and still do need) to take a break from any heavy/manual editing or learning because of upcoming exams. Hopefully once I've got these exams out of the way I could start again or continue? Sorry again for the inconvenience. Skingo12 (talk) 20:38, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Skingo12 - focus on RL studies first!! WP can wait. I'll be around if you need me. Atsme 💬 📧 20:41, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to wikipedia page for "Lynnae Quick"

Hello,

This is Dr. Lynnae Quick. I'm editing my wikipedia page at the moment and will be sure to add in appropriate references later. I was in fact, greatly influenced by Dr. Benita Bell and would prefer that that information not be edited out or erased.

Thank you! Lynnae C Quick — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.172.62.228 (talk) 21:48, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you may wish to read WP:COI. I completely understand that it was in good faith and encourage you to continue editing as long as it's compliant with policy. Skingo12 (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
