Personal attack?

Can you review this edit and the message on my talk page? Is this something I should be concerned about? Interstellarity (talk) 17:40, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Which message on your talk page? The only recent message is the one right above regarding this revert; while the content in that case doesn't look like a test edit to me, it was unsourced. I don't see any personal attacks there.
While the edit summary here wasn't civil, the IP editor is right on the issue: You shouldn't have reverted that edit. It's probably best to take it as a learning experience and to move on; escalating an uncivil comment in response to an inappropriate revert isn't going to do anybody any good. Huon (talk) 17:49, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
@Huon: It is not my intention to not be civil. I will try to learn from my mistakes. Thanks for pointing that out. Interstellarity (talk) 17:52, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, wrong link. The lack of civility that I meant wasn't yours but the IP editor's here with the "Maybe don't call yourself a Wikipedian" comment. Huon (talk) 18:35, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

RM closure error

I think you meant to move Anne Klein (senator) to Anne Klein (politician) and to move James Esdaile (lord mayor) to James Esdaile (mayor) or perhaps to not move that one, but you seem to have moved Anne Klein (senator) to Anne Klein (mayor) and James Esdaile (lord mayor) to James Esdaile (politician). The move for Anne Klein especially looks like a mistake. Can you please check that? —BarrelProof (talk) 01:06, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@BarrelProof: All fixed. Interstellarity (talk) 10:54, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Muchas gracias. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:48, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Linking categories

Please see Talk:Granny_(orca)#Requested_move_27_May_2019. I would like to link it without placing the page in that category. How do I do that? Thank you for the Wikipedians that helped me while contributing especially Huon who has helped me the most. Interstellarity T 🌟 20:39, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you want to do. If you want to link to a category page, add a colon at the beginning of the link: [[:Category:Individual killer whales]] gives Category:Individual killer whales. Huon (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't read closely enough; that was indeed what you wanted to do. Huon (talk) 21:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
@Huon: Thank you. Interstellarity T 🌟 21:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Requesting feedback

I finally saw your question at the Teahouse. I've been mostly off Wikipedia lately because of problems with my home internet service, still unresolved. As I think you've been advised, your editing is probably okay if nobody has been reverting you or complaining on your talk page. If a lot of what you do is reverting vandalism or other clearly disruptive editing, that's not necessarily likely to attract a lot of attention even though it's a very necessary activity.

Asking at the Teahouse and at the help desk is not considered good form, though, if you did that. Pick one place and only if there's no response after about 48 hours, then you might look for a different venue. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 18:35, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

@Jmcgnh: I try not to ask the same question in two different places. I asked at the help desk because 331dot told me to ask there because I have not received a response at the Teahouse since I asked the question. I apologize for not waiting long enough to ask somewhere else. Hope this helps. Interstellarity T 🌟 19:09, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
