Reverted change in "Befana"
errr...
You just reverted a deletion I made on the page "Befana" and flagged is as vandalism. It wasn't intended as vandalism at all, I was simply removing a section containing two narratives which I honestly cannot find anywhere in the philological literature. I believe they are no more than internet forgeries and commented the deletion as such.
I had left a comment on the related conversation page several weeks ago and had no response, so proceeded with the deletion. ~2026-11275-11 (talk) 02:10, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

- Hey there .. could you please try to add this link of a webpage along with that previous edit of mine to republish that once again ...?

- If you really want me to do it for you, I suppose I can, but there's no reason you can't do it yourself. See Help:Cite if you need instruction on how to add the link as a reference. radioactOlive(she/it)(talk) 01:37, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
Reverted Change for International Cricket in 2026
Hi. It appears that you reverted an edit I made on the page "International Cricket in 2026" due to the link "seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia". The links I had put follow are similar to other links on the same page and simply cite an official scorecard from ESPNCricinfo. ESPNCricinfo is one of the main sources for cricket references on Wikipedia, and is used many times on that page in particular (in the exact same manner) alongside most other cricket-related pages, especially for match scorecards.

- Oh, apologies about that! I absolutely failed to parse "espncric" as an actually coherent string of characters, and assumed it was just a spam link. Sorry! I'll be more careful about that. radioactOlive(she/it)(talk) 01:55, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hey no problem! Everyone makes mistakes once in a while we are all (hopefully) human. ExtremelyRandomHouse (talk) 02:01, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Dormant worm awakes; a sketchy archiving site struck; ether burns.
- Special report: What actually happened during the Wikimedia security incident?
A horrifying exploit took place, which could have had catastrophic and far-reaching consequences if used maliciously; instead, it seems to have happened by accident and was used for childish vandalism. How did this happen, and what did the script actually do?
