I appreciate you think your reports of vandalism are important...but that doesn't mean you can delete 3 of them cause they are "stale" by a couple hours. Just causes their is a backlog doesn't mean you get to break the rules to jump the line and get your vandal blocked.

While sneaky, I'll give you that, I'm pretty sure that's a blockable offense. Also a dick move and worthy of a trout. Please, don't do it again. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:54 on January 26, 2021 (UTC)

Neutralhomer, really? I've been doing that for years and haven't been blocked for it. I've observed that reports that are "stale by a couple hours" tend to stick around until they are declared Officially Stale by an admin. That's why I remove them. It's not because I'm sneaky and trying to "jump the line," and your assumption of such violates WP:AGF. --I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me if replying off my talk page.

@I dream of horses: Well, technically, you didn't do that either. Still, those three vandals live to vandalize another day. In a clear backlog, the reports could have sat there a little longer and got an official mark of "Stale" from an admin. Maybe you have "been doing that for years", doesn't make it right.

It's like if you live in a small town. Just because you have been running a red light at 2 in the morning with no one coming either way and you haven't gotten caught, doesn't mean you still won't, eventually, get pulled over for it. You don't tell the cop "well, I've been doing that for years and haven't gotten a ticket for it." He's not gonna just go "well, you have a good point" and let you go. No, dude! You're getting a bigger fine now! Same logic applies here.

Just here, it would be a longer block. So, just don't do it again. OK? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:11 on January 26, 2021 (UTC)

@Neutralhomer: I've always been bothered by the fact that only admins get to mark reports as "stale". Admins (usually) aren't special. There was one exception where I removed a vandal that had hit the edit filter I couldn't see and was quite rightfully told off by multiple people; that would be a rare exception. Honestly, if you think the vandal you reported fell into that rare exception (or even if my removal just bothers you), go ahead and revert me. I won't edit war. I learned a lesson that day.

@I dream of horses: I can only speak of the vandal that another and I were reporting, but it has been well over 12 hours. So, the reports are definitely stale now. I'll keep an eye out for the vandal I'm watching (as I already am) and I'll make a special effort to watch the other two. Just please be careful next time. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:15 on January 26, 2021 (UTC)

Neutralhomer, thanks for the kind reply. I'll adjust my deletions. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me if replying off my talk page. Thank you. 08:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

A message from Tova2014

I just edited the article Phyllis Robinson and created my first footnote. In the comments space I confessed that this is kind of a SWAG (scientific wild assed guess) and how I came up with the new factoid about this person of whom I have NO first hand knowledge. I just want to make sure someone will look at the edit and delete it if it's factually incorrect. Maybe a family member or whoever created the article gets automatically notified I hope? Anyway the edit's in good faith, and not a politically charged edit so far as I can tell, so I put it in. Thanks administrators for all you do!
