Hi; thanks for your closure of the Lists of survival/music anime and manga AfD. I'd like to ask if you would be alright with refunding the music anime list to drafts? I'm hoping to continue the workshopping on it that I and Historyday01 were doing so we can see if there's a case to be made for salvaging its content or using its sources as a basis for a better article on the subject. Thanks very much for your time. silviaASH (inquire within) 14:54, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, I figured somebody might want a copy. I have restored the list to User:SilviaASH/List of music and performing arts anime. Good luck with the article. Malinaccier (talk) 15:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing that. I'd love to keep working on it. Historyday01 (talk) 18:02, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I couldn't help but notice you gave Dahawk04 rollback?! I find this a little odd given their recent conduct (and overall lack of editing history - not even 400 edits)?

Tagging @ElijahPepe as a courtesy. Their responses at an AfD Dahawk04 raised meant they needed an AI crafted reply to "request administrator intervention to enforce civility". A threat they actually followed up on.

Maybe I'm overthinking things here, but it just seems a little insane to me. OXYLYPSE (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OXLYPSE, thanks for your message. While I think Dahawk04's comments in that AFD revealed some sensitivity and hurt feelings in response to what looked like an innocuous comment from ElijahPepe, I do not see anything in that discussion that would suggest misuse of rollback to revert vandalism. To be clear, I think jumping to complain about civility in response to a fair comment is poor form and overreactive, but I do not think it rules out having rollback. The requirements for rollback are very lax (about 200 mainspace edits and a bit of experience reverting vandalism).

That said, I took a look at Dahawk04's reverts and use of the rollback tool just to be thorough. While Dahawk04's anti-vandalism work that I spot checked prior to the request for rollback looked fine, I found some issues with the use of rollback since receiving the tool. Rest assured that I have provided a warning and will remove the rollback right if it is used improperly again. Thanks for tipping me off to take a second look.
