user:87.20.67.65 has the right to blank her talkpage. Please do not revert her edits anymore unless they are something that can be considered offensive. CLCStudent (talk) 00:05, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

@CLCStudent: Except they weren't blanking their talk page. They were removing their signature from their comment on another IP talk. See . Taumata994 (talk) 00:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Well, I was referring to []. CLCStudent (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
That was a misfire. I mistook one talk page for another. I won't do it again. Taumata994 (talk) 00:14, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
@CLCStudent: Also, that edit happened after you edited my talk. How were you able to predict? Taumata994 (talk) 00:19, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
I must have looked at that other edit you made to that other talkpage you were talking about. CLCStudent (talk) 00:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
You mean this one? Taumata994 (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Yeah. CLCStudent (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
That was restoring the signature. So I guess no WP:OWNTALK after all? At least not until after you messaged me. And even then accidental. Taumata994 (talk) 00:23, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Almost undid this one but then realized that actually was their own page. Taumata994 (talk) 00:26, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for blanking that page. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia. Cancoveal (talk) 04:59, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

@Cancoveal: Not a problem. You were right to tag that page for deletion. It should not have been created. Thanks! Taumata994 (talk) 05:00, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Regarding Lunar South Pole page edits

I removed mention of Chinese lander being First to land at Lunar South Pole because it did not land in South Pole region it landed far from it at 45.5 degree South latitude which is in Von Karman crater but not in Lunar South Pole region .

This First Second Third words are creating eternal pissing content on many recent moon mission pages .

I can back my claim about Chinese lander landing site latitude with a link to Chinese state media .  Preceding unsigned comment added by Smash1617 (talkcontribs) 19:25, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring

Please stop edit warring, as you do on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Serbs_of_Croatia&diff=908110374&oldid=908110367 77.191.36.231 (talk) 14:24, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

The user was reverting vandalism (WP:HOAX), which is an exception to the rule. --MrClog (talk) 14:27, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
MrClog, Taumata994 inserts questionable labels ("genocide"), not supported by the title of the target page. That certainly is against WP:SURPRISE 77.191.36.231 (talk) 14:29, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
Unexplained removal of content is vandalism. --MrClog (talk) 14:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Bordeaux airport editing

Airthess3 (talk) 08:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)Your reference to promotional/advertising material is contradicting the links posted on Bordeaux airport table by others.Would you care to explain what exactly are you referring to? Press releases from airlines themselves aren't considered relevant links and are promotional material?Because then you should redo the table, not just my editing and erase Finnair link,the routesonline-link, etc. I posted the Ryanair press release for its new routes.What else exactly do you need to consider it a more valid source other than the airline's?It's the same on hundreds of tables Airthess3 (talk) 08:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

I noticed also you reverted my edit of AF seasonal flight to ATH when the source is Bordeaux Airport like the source posted on Easyjet's seasonal flights which you have kept.So what are the grounds of your unfounded discriminatory behaviour because it seems double standards are applied, apart from your threats of blocking..Airthess3 (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Logan River

Can you please explain your edit on the Logan River. 50.68.172.46 (talk) 22:59, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

I reverted the edit in question because it used non-neutral language (i.e. so-called). Thank you. Taumata994 (talk) 00:08, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Cultural appropriation

Why are you reverting changes to have a positive connotation citing neutral language? Appropriation is in the name itself "cultural appropriation". (Trulov (talk) 19:30, 19 July 2020 (UTC))

Incorrect removal

Hi, the removal of the external link you just did is wrong (German Frers page, list of ships, Cirrus 3/4), as it refers to an encyclopedia of IOR racing boats (largest IOR racing sailboats list on the Internet)! Hence I think it should not have been removed. It is not a commercial page, it is a (very!) informative page!  Preceding unsigned comment added by EarlyMorningSunrise (talkcontribs) 07:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
