Hi, while I appreciate the effort of yours in fighting off vandalism by patrolling to Recent changes. I just want to let you know something.

At User talk:195.85.176.74, you've left a warning by using Twinkle but you were not the user who initially reverted the edit at the article the IP contributed to. I would assume that it would've been a coincidence of reverting the same revision at the same time but I managed to revert it first. Just bear in mind that only the user who initially reverted a revision on any Wikipedia page or articles are the one responsible to leave a warning on the IP or users talk page.

Thanks. PEPSI697 (💬 • 📝) 00:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi PEPSI697. I actually used WP:RedWarn in this instance to attempt to revert the vandalism and warn the user instead of WP:Twinkle. (I sometimes do use Twinkle though, depending on the task.)

I believe what likely happened is that you and I both likely attempted to revert the vandalism at nearly the exact same time. In this case, your revert appeared to go through first. However, when reverting with RedWarn, after you submit the revert attempt on the article page, it automatically loads a suggested warning at a user warning based on the current warning levels that you can send to the user from the same page you reverted the vandalism. Unfortunately, in cases like this, there was no way for the RedWarn user to know that another user was attempting to revert at the same time, much less that the other users revert beat theirs. After I submitted the revert attempt with RedWarn, the usual user warning options popped up, and I submitted the user warning as I usually do via RedWarn, believing that the user notice I was sending was for the revert I thought I had just done. I want to assure you that it was not my intention to issue a warning on your behalf. I hope this clarifies what happened, and I apologize for any confusion this caused. And thanks for helping with the vandalism! Wikipedialuva (talk) 06:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

In this revert I have noticed you forgot to warn the person whose edit you reverted. Please don't forget it next time. It could discourage them. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 12:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

@Sangsangaplaz: Thanks for the reminder. I usually send out a user notice when I perform a revert; however, sometimes I forget to send one when I am doing a manual/partial revert.Wikipedialuva (talk) 13:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Yea I tend to do the same. 😅 Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 08:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
