Could you please take a look of the edit by IR-TheFirstSoldier? Trade (talk) 20:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey EvergreenFir, I don't believe this revert was appropriate. The anonymous editor was, as far as I can tell, simply changing the information in this article to reflect what's mentioned in the Ocean Waves article. I verified with the film's credits that one "Kaoru Nakamura" was a writer on the film. I have undone your revert with that in mind. Additionally, I don't believe your use of a no-summary rollback was consistent with the guidelines on its usage — I would ask that you leave an explanation for reverts of this kind where the content of the edit is not obviously vandalism. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to suggest deleting or revdeling some edits in that sandbox, to not give people ideas. – 2804:F1...83:85D6 (talk) 07:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. – 2804:F1...83:85D6 (talk) 07:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

My pleasure EvergreenFir (talk) 07:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure WP:NOTFORUM is the best revert reason here. It is a comment about the talk page, and I think reverting it will just annoy the poster. I thought it might to let it lie and not feed the troll – reverting can be seen by the OP as censorship or something, because they don't know how WP works; letting everyone ignore them might be better, IMHO. Cremastra (talk) 07:33, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I was on the fence about it but invoking "Trump derangement syndrome" makes the preponderance of evidence that the user is a troll. IMO. Feel free to revert me EvergreenFir (talk) 07:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I think this is one of those things where reverting further will just confuse things and annoy people, but thanks for your quick response. Cremastra (talk) 07:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I see you've been active recently. The entire Seasonal Scarefest attractions as of 2024 subsection contained text directly copied from portions of altontowers.com; I would add the copyvio revdel template to Alton Towers but I'm unable to determine which URLs to put.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68 - Done! Thank you for reporting that EvergreenFir (talk) 14:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey EvergreenFir, thanks for blocking 73.55.225.146 earlier today. They seem to be continuing the same promotional spamming you blocked them for on their talk page. Would you consider extending your block and removing talk page access? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@TechnoSquirrel69 looks like SuperMarioMan beat me to it EvergreenFir (talk) 01:29, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Please delete Yot_(letter) which is another mirror of blatant hoax, already deleted here: Jot_(letter). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.137.8.148 (talk) 15:50, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

That's not a hoax EvergreenFir (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

So if it's not a hoax, please restore revision by "John" per this diff, since "John" is not even banned user at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.36.206.239 (talk) 17:46, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
