File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Annh07. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Member states of NATO, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Annh07 (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
:Hey there, as you correctly noted, I am new. I forgot to add the corresponding citation and accidentally published it early. Here is the link: https://yougov.co.uk/topics/international/trackers/support-for-nato. Anything else you'd like to discuss around this before I revert it to my edit and add the needed citation?
:(Also thanks for the catch <3) ArachnidInner (talk) 17:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello ArachnidInner. Regarding the recent revert you made to :Zenless Zone Zero: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. –HirowoWiki (📝) 10:33, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:Yes, I always warn. But I am on a school computer, so redwarn does not work. I have to use Twinkle. I will try and learn how to warn manually. Thanks Hirowo :3 (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 10:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
::Oh, okay. –HirowoWiki (📝) 10:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
File:Information.svg Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Hello. Do not use level 3, 4, or 4im warning templates. I just assumed you. –HirowoWiki (📝) 23:33, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:Pardon? I'm not sure I understand. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 23:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
::If reverting edits, it should be warned at least level 1 warning template (at least you have been good faith). Please keep in mind. –HirowoWiki (📝) 23:38, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:::Do you mean I shouldn't skip level 1 or 2 even in serious cases? (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 23:39, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
::::No. Do not skip these warning templates. You just using level 1 warning template. –HirowoWiki (📝) 23:41, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

User-generated sourcing
IMDB is an unreliable WP:USERGENERATED source per WP:IMDB, as is the user-edited encyclopedia portion of Anime News Network per WP:ANIMENEWSNETWORK - please don't use them as sources in articles. News and reviews from ANN are reliable. Waxworker (talk) 14:31, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Oil of Clove
Hello,
I recently made an edit to an article about clove oil. This edit appears to have been flagged as vandalism. Was this done by a human, or an algorithmic tool? Anyway, I posted on the talk page of that article, requesting to know why it was flagged. 119.235.212.93 (talk) 19:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:So it was flagged as a potentially bad edit, which appears in the Recent changes page. I fat fingered it and accidentally selected vandalism instead of "Not a constructive edit" due to the poor wording of the edit. Admittedly after reading the article, this does not appear to be your fault because the site also used the same poor wording. Ultimately, I do believe the revert should be upheld but I apologise for flagging it under the wrong reason. Any questions? (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 19:43, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you for the clarification. I am not sure how your fingers slipping could be due to a poor choice of words in the edit. I hope you will use consideration before flagging something as vandalism. I also learned from this experience, to check my work more carefully before I put it out there for public consumption. 119.235.212.93 (talk) 20:02, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:::I think you misunderstood. I meant to revert your edit due to unclear language and unnecessary removal of the toothache fact. But my finger slipped and I accidentally hit Vandalism instead of Non-constructive edit as the revert reason. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 20:10, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
