Still accepting Adoptees?

Hi, I'm Tsu. Are you still accepting adoptions as of this moment? If you are, respond back and I'll tell you a little bit more about myself. Thanks! Talk ↔️ Contribs 16:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, yes, I'm still accepting adoptees. :) I just haven't been too active as of late. ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 17:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello

I am the idiot on illogicopedia -GoatLordServant (Talk) 23:27, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi! So you also work on counter-vandalism? (Sorry for the late reply, I've been doing tons of schoolwork) ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 23:50, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Yes, my secret is to watchlist a crap ton of pages. I've also dedicated most of my content addition edits to Fortnite: Battle Royale. -GoatLordServant (Talk) 23:52, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Same. Except my watchlist is kind of a mess. :) I don't really work on content addition myself, unless it's adding a template or citation needed. ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 23:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
I used to go to recent changes and patrol there but I found the work exhausting for my sanity so I decided to watchlist tons of pages and hope for the best! The FNBR stuff is usually dedicated to keeping it up to date and accurate, alot of people who don't really know what they're editing have come through for sure. -GoatLordServant (Talk) 23:58, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, patrolling Recent Changes is tiring, especially when I've rollbacked one edit, still have two others to rollback, and there's been more edits. (it's something that's happened much too often to me :/ ) ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 00:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I'm back again but i've had alot of not having time. -GoatLordServant (Talk) 13:27, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Same, I had no breaks from doing work yesterday. (Also, I won't be able to reply as fast/often today because I have to finish this science work today) ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 13:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Still in school rn lol -GoatLordServant (Talk) 13:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, Wikipedia while in school can be pretty fun. I saw you made some edits on Illogicopedia. ☶☲SouthernKangaroo☶☲ (☎) 20:54, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service

Hi SouthernKangaroo! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

  1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
  2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
  3. Paste {{Frs user|SouthernKangaroo|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
  4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
