Please help!

Just create a Miraheze account, go to the Incredible Characters Wiki, tell SuperStreetKombat to globally unlock and unblock my first three Miraheze accounts, Khalfi2008, Anon2017, and DogManFan2025, and restore all group pages (except the Pokémon one because there were separate pages for Pokémon) and the Scaredy Squirrel page. Also, blame Abu4 for deleting the Warner Siblings page. And unprotect the Tom and Jerry, Norbert and Daggett Beaver, Bugs Bunny, and Winnie the Pooh pages, too! Please, I need your help to save the group pages on the Incredible Characters Wiki! 2605:8D80:4A2:DD0A:ED3D:447D:53EA:7F18 (talk) 20:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi there. I don't know anything about Miraheze and the Incredible Characters wiki. I'm not interested in working on another wiki. GoingBatty (talk) 02:33, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::What do you mean you're not interested in working on another wiki?! The Warners page has been deleted by Abu, who sadly I deleted the Jack Black pages! Please, I beg you! Just create a Miraheze account already! Tell SuperStreetKombat to make you an admin of the Incredible Characters Wiki! We need to save the group pages! 2605:8D80:5500:CDE7:7971:3F64:D9E4:5E19 (talk) 05:53, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Why don't you work here to improve the Wikipedia articles about these characters? GoingBatty (talk) 05:57, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::::No, I meant the pages on the Incredible Characters Wiki on Miraheze! Create a Miraheze account and become an admin of the Incredible Characters Wiki to blame CrazySpruiker2001 339Breakingoof, and Abu4 for deleting group pages! 2605:8D80:5500:BFD9:11DE:1EFA:A70C:44F9 (talk) 06:16, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::I'm not even an admin here, and don't wish to become an admin anywhere else. If you'd like to work on Wikipedia articles, then work with Wikipedia users. If you want help at another wiki, work with the experienced users at that wiki. GoingBatty (talk) 06:22, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::CrazySpruiker2001 is a fetish artist! He has a collection of fetish art on his DeviantArt account! Luckily, ExploringEditor restored the Rocky and Bullwinkle page and stood up to 339Breakingoof, but Crazy protected the CatDog, Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Norbert and Daggett Beaver, and Winnie the Pooh pages! Please help me! 2605:8D80:5500:BFD9:11DE:1EFA:A70C:44F9 (talk) 06:56, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::{{talk page stalker}} What are you even trying to do here? This user isn't an editor there, and as stated, he doesn't want to become an admin, there or here. Why don't you request whatever you are trying to do with the experienced editors on that specific Wiki? Why come here, onto a completely different Wiki?

Question from [[User:P6217800|P6217800]] (19:47, 26 May 2025)

What do you consider easy edits? --P6217800 (talk) 19:47, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:@P6217800: I would define an "easy edit" as something simple and non-controversial, such as fixing a typo. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 20:02, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:P6217800|P6217800]] (19:50, 26 May 2025)

What's considered a suggested edit? --P6217800 (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:@P6217800: See :mw:Wikimedia Apps/Suggested edits. GoingBatty (talk) 20:03, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Joroan26|Joroan26]] (21:38, 26 May 2025)

Hello,

Have been interested in learning about editting, and this looks like a good place to learn. How do I get started?

Thank you --Joroan26 (talk) 21:38, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Joroan26: I suggest Help:Introduction. Then read articles that interest you and make little edits to fix typos or improve sentence structure. You could also read magazines and newspapers (online or offline) and post suggestions on article talk pages suggesting improvements to the articles. Watch how those suggestions are acted upon, and then you can eventually add information from reliable sources to Wikipedia articles, and add the sources as references. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 21:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Back to Editing!

Hi @GoingBatty,

It’s been a while since I last edited due to school, but I’m glad to be back contributing again. I’ve really appreciated your past support, especially with cleanups — they’ve been incredibly encouraging.

I just completed a full revamp of the Arewa 24 article. When you have time, I’d love it if you could take a look and help out where needed, especially with cleanup or formatting — just like before.

Thanks again, and good to reconnect! Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 22:04, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Cameremote: {{Done}}, including moving the article to Arewa24 and tagging the sections that need references. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 22:46, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:ILoveToDraw|ILoveToDraw]] (16:18, 28 May 2025)

Hello! I am new to Wikipedia and created my account because I noticed some missing information in an article. I am trying to determine which sources are appropriate to use. If there is a policy about sources, I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thank you! --ILoveToDraw (talk) 16:18, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:(reply by a passing editor) WP:Verifiability covers sourcing requirements, and WP:Reliable sources describes what makes a source reliable for use. fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four (talk) 21:08, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Rate my pages!

Hi buddy, I'm having a hard time rating my Wikipedia articles. Could you take a moment to help set the ratings properly? this will ensure I'm not biased. https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/Cameremote/0/noredirects/live Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 23:43, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

::I just dropped new today, could you possibly do some edits on them and ratings? thanks Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 02:12, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::@Cameremote: {{done}} GoingBatty (talk) 04:45, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey, GoingBatty?

{{hat}}

Abu4's hatred of group pages on the Incredible Characters Wiki went too far, so can you please create a Miraheze account and tell Tali64 to make you an admin of the Incredible Characters Wiki and block Abu4 for his actions? Separating and/or deleting group pages is a crime. 24.114.24.23 (talk) 23:33, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:No need to start a new section for the same topic, especially when I already answered the question above. GoingBatty (talk) 03:10, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::But the group pages! They were gonna be banned from Miraheze! Please create a Miraheze account right now! 2605:8D80:4A1:F743:5DEF:795C:48B9:E54B (talk) 11:21, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:::{{talk page stalker}} GoingBatty, as well as I have already replied to one of your sections. Please read what we said above. Also, you said {{Tq|Separating and/or deleting group pages is a crime.}} It might be against the rules there (and most certainly isn't illegal) , but we, editors of the English Wikipedia, don't understand the rules on another Wiki, not even related to the Wikimedia Projects. Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 11:34, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::::That's what I said! I just wanted to make group pages on the Incredible Characters Wiki! 2605:8D80:422:71A0:C474:6932:996F:3BAD (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::This Wiki you are reffering to is not part of the Wikimedia projects, ex. Wikipedia, Wikitech, etc.
You are practically asking for us to join another Wiki. We can't help with a Wiki not even associated with Wikimedia/Wikipedia- Why ask us?{{pb}}ps. Not all wikis are part of the Wikimedia Project. Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 16:53, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::Well, about MarioBobFan, he sort of ruined my life by separating group pages and making pages on minor characters and real-life people, so I need GoingBatty to stop him. 2605:8D80:4A2:A7EA:C8A6:719A:2387:B831 (talk) 21:43, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Like we have ALREADY said, GoingBatty is not part of that Wiki, and does not seem interested in becoming a user, or admin. So, why are you trying to get help here? This isn't even the correct wiki; you might as well talk to the admins on that wiki instead. Also, you have a clear hyperbole in the phrase, {{Tq|he sort of ruined my life}}, which probably isn't true. Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 11:32, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

::::::::The Incredible Characters Wiki and the Loathsome Characters Wiki ARE from Miraheze, y'know? I just wanted to make group pages for both wikis. I wish I was an admin of both character wikis so I could get revenge on the others for blocking me and reverting my edits for no reason over and over again! 72.143.226.158 (talk) 11:42, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::Miraheze is a wiki-farm, and is NOT part of the Wikimedia projects, even though it might use MediaWiki. Why are you requesting for such stuff here, when we cant help with an unaffiliated project? Also, you should engage in discussion with those users, not commit revenge and do the same that they might have done for you. Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 16:55, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Question about Article Ratings

Hello, GoingBatty! I recently replied to {{user|2605:8D80:4A1:F743:5DEF:795C:48B9:E54B}}, and decided that while I am here, I might as well ask a question. After an article has been rated, for example, a Stub, can it be changed afterward if the article gets more contributions to get it to a higher rating? Thanks! {{smiley2}} Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 11:38, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:@Cooldudeseven7: Thank you for jumping in to reply to the previous section. Yes, you can change the rating as the article improves. There's lot of information about this process at Wikipedia:Content assessment. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 01:32, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

::Thank you! I had done a few assesments but wanted to make sure this was allowed! Cooldudeseven7 talk/contribs 11:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
