Bot removing entries too quickly?

why was this removed without any actions taken? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 03:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AIV is designed for very obvious vandalism and spamming. A personal attack would have to be very egregious to be acted on here. Linking to diffs can also make it easier for admins to review your report. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 01:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Abo Yemen chose the wrong diff and actually meant the next diff. I fixed it. — Chrisahn (talk) 21:24, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Now that it's fixed @Jake Wartenberg, any actions to take? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 06:38, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
