Using template messages

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. —Aranya (talk) 22:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. 146.90.39.236 (talk) 12:23, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what did I do? I was reverting edits that are not necessary, and you act in an unprofessional manner by immediately deleting my request for a comment from you. May you please explain, why? creativeRaja^t@lk 12:26, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I left summaries for every single one of my edits. It's clear you are not a native speaker of English. Are you capable of reading it and comprehending it? 146.90.39.236 (talk) 12:38, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen my cat's memorial? I live in Wisconsin, and I was born here. I just think that such a drastic overhaul is really strange to see from someone with no past edits. creativeRaja^t@lk 12:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Then you must have learned English from foreigners because your phrasing is totally unidiomatic, and you clearly could not comprehend the massive problems in the text that I fixed. You should undo your most recent revert. You need to explain exactly, with reference to policies and guidelines, why you reverted my work to make the article worse. 146.90.39.236 (talk) 12:48, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And why are you using <blockquote> tags? Haven't you bothered to look at what everybody else does when they reply to something? 146.90.39.236 (talk) 12:50, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm truly sorry, and that's just American phrasing. You wouldn't know, as currently you are in Finchley within the UK. That's fine then. I'll undo my last edit. Just next time, actually try to explain what are you trying to do in the article talk page, or explain when I clearly ask you in your talk page. creativeRaja^t@lk 12:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would encourage you to use the word 'vandalism' carefully. Vandalism is a deliberate effort to deface an article; edit summaries in this case indicate that the editor had what they consider to be a good reason for their changes(I don't know if it is or not) so it isn't 'vandalism'- and as you can see, they don't appreciate that characterization of their edits(though it is not a personal attack).

It is a personal attack to call somebody a vandal without cause. Do not ever start by falsely accusing somebody of vandalism, if you want to have a productive conversation with them. 146.90.39.236 (talk) 13:30, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
