Hi, I've just gone through you TOP 40 list, which includes many of my favourites. But I'm surprised the two of my TOP 10 are not included: Criminal Minds and The Blacklist. If you haven't seen them you really should watch (just a little recommendation). Best Regards Denisarona (talk) 13:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I observe you just shot down probably hours of work by an IP editor without hesitation, even adding a smiley face to add insult to injury. Are you sure this was the friendliest approach you could muster? Cheers CapnZapp (talk) 20:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People's work on here gets reverted/deleted all the time. It's an assumption that it took "hours of work". I also don't know what you mean by "even adding a smiley face to add insult to injury". Anyway, cheers. Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

People's work on here gets reverted/deleted all the time. That is true. It is also not a good argument for not being civil about it...

It's an assumption that it took "hours of work". Yes. A pretty reasonable assumption, don't you think? Even if you can whip up a table of that size and complexity in five minutes doesn't mean everybody can. Besides, even if the IP editor works just as quickly as that doesn't mean the amount of work is less.

I also don't know what you mean by "even adding a smiley face to add insult to injury". Look at your edit summary. It is quite easy to interpret your final semi-colon together with the automatic end bracket as a ;) or Wink emoji even if you might not have meant this.

I am not saying your action is wrong per se and you have hopefully found that I haven't actually objected to your edit. However, perhaps the mere fact a random uninvolved editor (=me) found your action harsh enough to engage you on talk can be something for you to ponder on before next time you decide to go straight to the undo button without first engaging in Talk.

I was in way no way uncivil as my edit summary merely stated the reason for my revert. What you insinuate was a "smiley/wink" was a typo, I accidentally hit the semi-colon key before hitting the enter key, and as you know, all edit summaries are enclosed with brackets. Have a good one.

Hey, Drovethrughosts. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Chris Troutman (talk) 14:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Drovethrughosts,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more. ​

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 14:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day! Hi Drovethrughosts! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 20:00, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
