NOTE FROM Asticky: This seems to have been resolved, but I think it's worth keeping up as this whole saga with the Kissinger edit has been... kinda wild and I think this is a part of it worth preserving.

Hi Asticky, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I have removed the inappropriate comments that were left here following the attention you received on Twitter, and replaced with the notice above. I will also reduce the protection level on this page, although I or any other administrator may increase it again if the disruptive comments resume. You're free to modify the notice if you think it's appropriate to do so, or remove it entirely if you think it's no longer necessary. You can also leave a note here, on my talk page, or at the administrators' noticeboard discussion if you have any comments or questions. Thank you. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:50, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll provide a standard "welcome" notice below since nobody gave you one previously. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:01, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, – Muboshgu (talk) 20:02, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

You're doing a good job here. I'd actually seen you around before this, oddly enough: Special:Diff/1168933708 came across my watchlist in August. It was a good catch: The cited source only discussed Texas, so the statement shouldn't have been generalized to all of the U.S., and the source didn't establish due weight in the context of all U.S. trans topics. I do hope to see you around more in the future. :) Feel free to email me if you have any questions about anything; I'm also on Discord at tamzinhadasa. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|she) 07:08, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Editor's Barnstar

You have well and truly become an unsung hero in this internet era with your thought-provoking edit, which has garnered widespread attention, and I also would like to jump into the bandwagon by acknowledging about your swift action in updating the biography of Henry Kissinger. Keep up the good work and all the best for your endeavors.

I am dedicating my latest article, Dueball, to you as a tribute for contributing one of the most impactful edits in Wikipedia's history, and it is utmost important to give credit to someone when it is due.

Your edit speaks volumes about why Wikipedia even has a separate article dedicated to Wikipedia coverage of death. Keep rocking. Abishe (talk) 17:55, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Really sorry about all of this.

I'd tell you wikipedia isn't normally like this, but lol. Keep on rocking, don't let any of this get to you. Parabolist (talk) 18:16, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
