Take a look at [1]. The user removed a previous warning, so that's why I reverted your level 1 warning. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 14:21, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Just got your thanks. I'd revert, but that would be more confusing. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 14:22, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
@Bellezzasolo: Thanks for letting me know. I'm new to reverting vandalism, so I might make a few mistakes. TheConnorMan (talk) 14:23, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- No problem. Frankly, I'm not good enough at checking the history, but I think Huggle does it for me. I think. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 14:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Anti-vandalism tools
[edit]Hi, thanks for helping out with fighting vandalism. I just wanted to let you know about the anti-vandalism tools available. They help quite a bit! (Some need rollback permissions, but most don't.) –Gladamas (talk · contribs) 09:51, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Gladamas: That's the problem; I'm not sure what I can and can't use without rollback permissions. And I haven't been doing this for long either. Would you be able to suggest one for me? Thanks. TheConnorMan (talk) 09:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- I can train you if you want. Let me know if you want to do that. Alternatively, if you're experienced with spotting bad-faith vs. good-faith edits, I can show you which tools to use and how to use them. –Gladamas (talk · contribs) 10:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- I'd like to show you the ropes if you'd like to be a Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy student :) –Gladamas (talk · contribs) 10:41, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

You are now a rollbacker!
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi TheConnorMan! I've been running into you in recent changes patrolling and I happened to notice that you don't have the rollback user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling, and you consistently view and undo vandalism and disruption to articles. I believe that rollback would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request rollback at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to quickly revert the edits of other users in cases of blatant vandalism.
Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a "[Rollback]" button next to a page's latest edits - that's all.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war. If abused or used for this purpose, rollback rights will be revoked.
- Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask.
Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see this tutorial page. I'm sure you'll do fine with rollback - it's a pretty straight-forward user right and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into any troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:15, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: Awesome, thanks! I noticed you giving me a couple thanks on my reverts, and honestly, I'm just too socially awkward to start a conversation about it. Just know that I really appreciate it. Thanks again! TheConnorMan (talk) 11:41, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- You're welcome :-)! And no worries about being uncomfortable or feeling "socially awkward" - you'll get more comfortable with talking to others and starting discussions and conversations on Wikipedia in time... just keep doing what you're doing, keep up the good work, and it'll come more naturally as you become more proficient and experienced with Wikipedia and the different projects, processes, and daily routines you participate in. We were all new here at one point, and we all felt exactly the same way... I sure know that I did :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 11:48, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Revert on Autism spectrum
[edit]I beg to differ. giving a concise description of autism at the begeining of the article is helpful for those that Want to quickly find out What autism is.CmdrTako (talk) 11:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- @CmdrTako: Please do not start a discussion in the middle of the talk page. Create a new topic if you want to discuss something. Your edit to the article Autism Spectrum is clearly intended to be disruptive. Even if you weren't intending to be disruptive, it violates WP:NPOV. TheConnorMan (talk) 11:15, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi again!
[edit]Hi TheConnorMan! Just wanted to check in and see how you're doing since you received rollback. Is "wiki-life" treating you well? Do you feel like you're getting more proficient and comfortable with starting conversations and talking to other editors? Do you have any questions or need my input or help with anything? Let me know how you're doing; I'd like to continue to help you grow and gain more experience if you'll allow me :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:59, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hey again @Oshwah:. I'll be honest, this is more of a spare time thing that I do. Considering most of what I do is revert vandalism or correct minor errors on articles, I haven't felt the need to start conversations with anyone here. Sorry if this seems a bit disappointing to you. I originally just looked at the recent changes for vandalism so I could have a laugh at the sort of things people put on here. I thought that since I'm already there, why not sort it out? TheConnorMan (talk) 13:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- TheConnorMan - Not disappointing at all! You contribute what amount and to what level you choose, and even if it's just a "spare time" thing to you, we still appreciate your hard work and the time you spend helping keep Wikipedia free of disruption. HA! That's exactly how I started contributing to Wikipedia as well! I was in High School and looking through the vandalism and having a laugh and figured, "hey, why not revert them while I'm here! I mean... I might as well, I guess..." Little did I know that I would never leave ;-). Twelve years later and I'm still here... lol. Feel free to reach out to me any time you have questions or need any help and I'll be happy to lend a hand. Regardless of whether or not you decide to stay, grow your experience, and get more involved here - just know that we appreciate you! Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
