There is a separate page for these people Gwynne. 5.34.1.69 (talk) 10:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware of that article and assumed the edit was non constructive. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 10:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Vandalism versus good faith edits

Hi, Pepsi697. When you're doing recent changes patrol, please keep in mind what is vandalism (a bad faith edit that is obviously designed to harm to encyclopedia) and what are good faith but unconstructive edits. For example, somebody doing copyedits that go against the manual of style, changing dates in articles, or changing all the British spellings to American spellings is not editing constructively, but they're editing in good faith and our community should not treat them like a common vandal. Plus, it's more effective to leave accurate warnings. An erroneous anti-vandalism warning isn't going to cause somebody to change their behaviour- they're going to be scared off, or they're going to ignore the warning and carry on doing whatever it is they were doing. Anybody who has edited as an IP knows that recent changes patrollers just... randomly revert constructive edits sometimes, (I used to be rvv-ed for removing promotional language, adding links, removing BLP vios, and so on, and there's an anti-vandal IP who regularly gets rvved for removing vandalism) so it is very easy to tune those warnings out. So, in future, instead of leaving warnings like this[1] for edits like this [2], please go to their talkpage and write a quick note, similar to the one you wrote in the edit summary when you reverted the edit. Thank you, and carry on! GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I left a level 2 vandalism warning because I assumed that they were deliberately doing it on purpose, I agree that I should have assumed good faith. It was a misunderstanding. Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 22:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

The difference between vandalism and good faith edits

As per above. Please understand the difference between vandalism and good faith edits. Your revert of a fix on old unnoticed vandalism in Lumpia was frustrating, even with the edit comment explaining why it was done. You were now trying to keep the vandalized version by reverting that edit. The article page was vandalized in May 2024 when China was inserted as the origin with no sources, despite this specific type of spring roll not being Chinese. It originated from an adaptation of the Chinese spring roll using different ingredients. But it is not from China and can not be found in China and is an important part of the national cuisines of Indonesia and the Philippines.

You made me come out of retirement just to say this.  OBSIDIAN†SOUL 02:51, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, please calm down. I re-reviewed the revisions again and see they were possibly constructive. The edits didn't appear constructive to me.

I've made many mistakes recently with comparing good faith edits vs bad faith edits for some reason. Probably was just bad luck. I never intentionally did this on purpose to revert it back to vandalism. I thought I was reverting vandalism but apparently was reverting it to the vandalised version.

I understand what is good faith and what is bad faith per WP:AGF and WP:BF. Good faith is when an edit is constructive and bad faith is when an edit is vandalism.

I also understand that not every IP users are vandals, per WP:NEIPIAV.

I patrol recent changes and sometimes it can be hard to determine whether an edit is vandalism or not, it can be really hard sometimes. I try and review revisions and what they did carefully before reverting them.

Please also assume good faith to me when using this talk page per the notices above the topics.

You just revised an edit I made on an article about Ann Telnaes. I’m skeptical that you are as diligent about evaluating recent edits for vandalism as you claim. My edit was accurate and cited. It is true that I was an unregistered account (since registered). Do you immediately revert edits from unregistered accounts without looking at them at all? RoccoSmith (talk) 03:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

@RoccoSmith it seems like your account was only created 3 hours ago, your talk page doesn't exist yet and you only have made 1 edit. Can you please provide the diff's and talk page messages that I left on your IP so I can go and investigate it please? I patrol recent changes and mostly carefully check revisions before reverting them, sometimes it can be hard to tell. I certainly don't intend to revert good faith edits. Recent changes isn't perfect as it shows some constructive edits made by IPs. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 06:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Update: I've checked the revision again and investigated it. Yes, it was a serious mistake I did there. Probably because of this diff saying "Why I'm quitting Washington post", I mistakenly thought it was vandalism and I didn't check the URL in the wiki text summary because I was patrolling recent changes. I'm sorry for this mistake. Thanks. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 09:16, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Hard Boiled "Foxy"

In the movie Hard Boiled, Stephen Tung is apparently credited here as Foxy for some reason. Is this from the dub of the movie? In Chinese his name is 小高 (Xiao Gao) , it can be written in English as Siu (萧). However I do also see him credited as Little Ko in some places and I don't know about this either. No other character is listed by there dubbed character name other than Lionheart (who's name is just Police on Chinese wiki) 100.43.110.137 (talk) 02:32, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Rodovia Regis Bittencourt

Hello, I gave explanations in talk page. "Rodovia Regis Bittencourt [edit] This highway is no longer the "highway of death" for a long time. Currently it is a road with 4 or 6 lanes, several tunnels, and excellent maintenance. 2804:7F4:32C1:AFAE:D128:232F:5833:1696 (talk) 07:20, 27 December 2024 (UTC)" This nickname is from the 60s when it was a one lane road. But no one uses that nickname anymore. It's obsolete information 2804:7F4:32C1:AFAE:D128:232F:5833:1696 (talk) 07:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I was patrolling recent changes at the time to look out for vandalism, unsourced content added and unexplained removal of content. I didn't check your contributions until I left the note on your talk page. I also thought that the topic you did on the article's talk page was unrelated to Wikipedia, I've just reverted my own revert there on the article's talk page. Just also make sure you provide a reliable source. Thanks. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 07:44, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

We meet again!

Are you a full time fighter against vandalism? Warriorglance (talk) 06:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I patrol recent changes and I have a lot of spare time IRL. Since it's the big holidays in Australia until January and away on holidays, I have lots of time to patrol recent changes and fight vandalism normally between 22:00 (UTC) (9:00am Melbourne time) and 11:00 (UTC) (10:00pm Melbourne time).

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	I'm quite surprised I haven't given you a barnstar before, truth be told. Your username frequently pops up in AIV and it seems I can't escape you no matter who's talk page I'm on. Your dedication to maintaining Wikipedia's quality standards is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the hard work you put in, and keep it up! Synorem (talk) 06:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the barnstar! I really appreciate it! Cheers, PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 06:27, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Ornament & Crime

Hi, yeah, I was quoting what the main article for sElf says. Sorry. 24.254.253.41 (talk) 03:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

That's ok. The edit didn't appear constructive to me and that's why I've reverted it. I was patrolling recent changes at the time of reverting that edit. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 03:48, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Campion

After I fixed Jane Campion’s article to correctly state that she won best SCREENPLAY for The Piano and not best directing, which she later won for The Power of the Dog, it was promptly switched back to the incorrect information. Below is an article from the Academy website confirming this. Please fix it back. Oscars Website re: Jane Campion Mackspotts (talk) 09:01, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I get it. But the IP contributor should've provided a reliable source then it wouldn't of have been reverted. PEPSI697 💬 | 📝 09:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
