- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, Cassiopeia talk 01:37, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

- No worries, not a big deal at all. Maybe be a bit more careful before hitting publish, but otherwise you're all good! VolatileAnomaly (talk) 01:40, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
This IP should be blocked from edits without an account.
It's a school so there are many trolls. 203.13.41.100 (talk) 04:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not an admin myself, but so far there only seems to be 1 edit from this IP. If vandalism becomes a persistent issue I'll look into making a report. VolatileAnomaly (talk) 04:51, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- Hey look man, I get it. Brainrot memes can be funny, but could you maybe just keep it on TikTok? Thanks VolatileAnomaly (talk) 23:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- I would understand if it was on a page on something like mathematics or something but literally nothing of value is lost by me typing mango phonk all over the skibidi page 2A02:C7C:E662:7B00:21FB:DD9E:9355:3C81 (talk) 23:26, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- I do understand where you're coming from, but at the end of the day Wikipedia is a serious place. The goal here is to give people accurate information, even if the name is silly. Heck, there's even a page on Breast-shaped hills VolatileAnomaly (talk) 23:30, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Tell you what, how about instead of making edits on random pages you head on over to the Wikipedia:Sandbox instead. You can make whatever edits you want without bothering others. Just don't use any offensive language and you'll be good. VolatileAnomaly (talk) 23:35, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

November 2024
Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Wikipedia. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.

- Sorry about that, would you mind telling me which page this occurred at? VolatileAnomaly (talk) 07:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Rollback granted
Hi VolatileAnomaly. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
- Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
- Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:34, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
