Does it apply to dead people?

Hi Littleb2009, I discovered your Page for Vandalism Only. I’m totally going to take you up on that offer… it sounds like a lot of fun. Before I do it, I have one question— one of your rules is no personal attacks unless you have permission from the person. Does the rule apply if you’re making an attack against someone that’s been dead for over 20 years? Helen (let’s talk) 03:12, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HelenDegenerate: it counts for people who can't give permission, since you might anger their relatives. --littleb2009 (^she/_her) (talk • contribs) 19:56, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or for that matter, you might anger a goddess, who is (obviously, duh) capable of permanently eliminating you from existence.^[Humor]^[FBDB] --littleb2009 (^she/_her) (talk • contribs) 23:40, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl LV Reverted Edit

When you said I added an edit without citing a reliable source what do you mean? Should I have cited the Super Bowl LIV page? I edited somethings in the Bucs season page and the edits didn't get reverted so I´m confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrAgentSochi (talk • contribs)

@MrAgentSochi: Almost everything that exists on Wikipedia has to be cited, and you should cite everything you add. You always have to prove it. Note that there is one exception, the plots of books and movies, where the assumption is that the source is the book or movie in question. --littleb2009 (^she/_her) (talk • contribs) 19:56, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Sorry about your experiences with your first edits. I understand you, and yeah, my talk page had an ugly message on it once.

So what exactly do you think I should cite? Btw the t in after is missing in the "SHUT UP, IDIOT" award section. I rather tell you to avoid another "Tiger Trouble". :) - MrAgentSochi

Your reverts on Super Cub (novel series) and Those Snow White Notes

The changes were not unsourced. If you look at the episode table, the source is at the top and applies to all entries in the column, which is a common citation method for weekly release episodes. Please remember this. Link20XX (talk) 00:54, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Link20XX: Thank you, next time I will be more careful. Remember, I am human. --littleb2009 (^she/_her) (talk • contribs) 00:55, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it. I realize it was a mistake. Keep up the anti-vandalism work! Link20XX (talk) 00:56, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did it

Littleb2009, I vandalised that special page… mwahahahahahahahaha (have a look) Helen (let’s talk) 20:46, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Littleb2009. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Seddon ^talk 00:35, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Seddon: Thank you. --littleb2009 (^she/_her) (talk • contribs) 16:41, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	I know you’ve stopped using this account, so you’ll probably never see this barnstar. I just wanted to thank you for having such a fabulously funny user page. Helen (let’s talk) 01:19, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Administrator changes Trialpears AGK • Eliz81 • Mulad • ThaddeusB • Vianello • Who Lacrimosus → Ikuzaf Interface administrator changes Ragesoss

CheckUser changes AGK • DGG Oversighter changes AGK

Guideline and policy news

• Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
• An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

• IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration

• The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Littleb2009/Page for vandalism and vandalism only

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as User:Littleb2009/Page for vandalism and vandalism only, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. eviolite (talk) 13:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
