A belated welcome!

[edit]
The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, VanFinda! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

If you have questions, just use this link to ask for help; a volunteer will visit you here shortly!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! radioactOlive(she/it)(talk) 03:43, 23 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Touch Typing edit

[edit]

Tried replying direct on your comment, but clearly I'm a fool and don't know how to follow instructions. Pasting below:

Thank you for the comment as regards my edit on the touch typing page. I have since created this account. I have observed this variant consistently - streamers, gamers typing, my own keyboard wear pattern - but there's no formal publication on this that I can find (hence my self-added [citations needed] tag). I understand reddit and gameFAQ threads are not citable sources - how would you recommend going about finding or creating something that meets the standards? BramSolder (talk) 16:12, 9 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I would search to see if there are reliable news sources or other forms of independent media that have covered the topic; see Reliable Sources for further information on the types of sources that are acceptable and how to find them.
If there are no such available sources, then the information is not suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia - it must have been reported on by reliable secondary sources as indicated above in order to meet the verifiability policy. vanfinda (talk) 18:07, 9 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi VanFinda. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the permission will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback. Good luck and thanks! * Pppery * it has begun... 00:34, 11 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism made by User:~2026-29138-86

[edit]

There is vandalism going on by User:~2026-29138-86 (check their contributions). This user's edits are too quick for me to revert, so could you give this vandal at least another warning or a block? Thank you, KPOfficial26 (talk) 10:28, 15 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a look through their contributions and reverted any remaining vandalism (most of it has already been reverted and it looks like they have paused/stopped making edits). I cannot give them a block because I am not an administrator, but if the vandalism continues then further warnings and/or reporting to WP:AIV are good options. vanfinda (talk) 10:36, 15 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
