A goat for you!

[edit]

Thanks for all your antivandal work on Wikipedia!

@LightlySeared: Oh hey. I was going to give you another goat but noticed I had already! Here's another one anyway, for copyediting. I did notice that many of your copyedits were brief, almost as if you were "skimming" the page, there are less obvious prose errors/awkward wording and if you try to fix them in your articles too that would be great. Anyway enjoy another goat. Cheers. GoldRomean (talk) 18:12, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for another goat. I'll have to start a zoo soon, if you continue that way.
Regarding my CEs, valid critique. I fix what I find, but then again, I'm only human. Though I got better in the time I've been on here already, I think. But I'll take the hint and be more careful in future and take another look at my prior CEs.
All the best. LightlySeared (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2025 (UTC) 15:13, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025

[edit]

I have opened a discussion about @98.22.4.143 at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Are you free to join me in discussing? Wbm4567 (talk) 19:23, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notice, I appreciate the sentiment.
I'm kinda late for the discussion though, as I was busy today. Sorry. Though if you want my two cents after the fact, I would have just reported the IP to WP:AIV with a comment that the IP had recently been blocked for the same cause, but no harm done. Going to ANI is kinda like deciding to launch the nukes, best avoided until absolutely necessary.
And from my side a welcome to Wikipedia as well. Kind Regards LightlySeared (talk) 20:14, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
