Non-free rationale for File:Super earth flag.jpg
editThanks for uploading or contributing to File:Super earth flag.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 17:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Super earth flag.jpg
editThank you for uploading File:Super earth flag.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TheWikiToby (talk) 02:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Super earth flag.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Super earth flag.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. TheWikiToby (talk) 02:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Revert on my recent edit
editI recently made edits to the furthur bus page that were reverted. I am helping George Walker with repairs on the original bus and have the means to prove this fact. Why was my edit reverted. Definingwillow (talk) 18:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- The second edit is unneeded and not relevant to the bus(first edit was also reverted along with the second one accidentally), also, since you claim that you are helping Walker, that means a possible COI. I'll have to check around if this is a COI or not. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 18:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- It's all relevant what do you mean? And what's a COI? All i wanted was to update the page due to there not being enough tech savy pranksters. What kind of evidence do i need to provide since I'm the primary source of the claim. Definingwillow (talk) 18:59, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- In this edit, [1], you added some unrelevant information that doesn't help the article. For information on COI, search for this article.
- Wikipedia:Conflict of interest
- No evidence is needed to show you're the main source of the claim. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 19:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- ok how about this, what is I do an interview with George talking about the restoration and post that. Then use that to cite my claim. Would that be satisfactory Definingwillow (talk) 20:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely not. That would be considered original research, which must never be allowed on any article. If someone else uses your interview as a citation, then that would be fine. But that's one problem. The other is verifiability. The source must be known as reliable before it is allowed. You can try asking for help here on verifying your source.
- Sources Noticeboard Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 20:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Definingwillow It must be reliably published. See WP:RS. Sources can be discussed at WP:RSN. Doug Weller talk 18:33, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Rollback granted
editHi MuffinHunter0. 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! Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 18:23, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
64.90.141.12 impersonating you
editJust thought I'd let you know. See here. Pretty rare, I've never had one of those before, keep up the good work :D -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, just saw that. Anyways, thanks for letting me know! Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 15:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Ransom Pagoda
editI've blocked the IP address which is the school's. Far too many decades ago, in a galaxy far far away, I attended Ransom when it was a boy's only school. My class had only 11 members. Doug Weller talk 18:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, how far this generation has fallen. Filling their minds with rot, with no decency what so ever. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 18:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi
edit2001:8F8:1D1C:A09E:74AF:CC6F:BABB:6867 (talk) 16:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Sorry about the warning. I was doing some anti-vandal work and reverted the wrong edit. Hope you'll forgive me for that. Anyways, are you here to ask me about anything? Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 17:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- So there is this user with a shared ip called "2603:8000:21F0:10A0:A0E4:BDFC:AF6A:8802" he does spam edits during sep 4 and almost all of them are messages saying'Cursed' and he said the Cyrillic letter Uk was derived from O and Y (it's fixed now) 86.97.87.68 (talk) 17:15, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- The purpose of this information then...? Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 17:51, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

November 2024
editYou reverted my edits on Timeline of the Barack Obama presidency and Timeline of the Joe Biden presidency, but please kindly note that the article name Timeline of the Donald Trump presidencies has already been changed to plural form. Thanks. 129.104.241.89 (talk) 20:22, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Both the Obama and the Biden articles' names have not been changed yet, and just because a related article has it different way, doesn't mean those related should be changed to match it. If/Once the name changes for both, you'll be able to correct the other 2. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 20:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ignore the above. I didn't fully check what your edits were doing. Go ahead and undo my reverts. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 20:30, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Alexandra Jones
editHello we were wondering why you removed a quote a colleague of mine added recently? Mike80h (talk) 15:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- The reason the edit was undone is because there are no sources to verify the quote was said. If you are able to provide a reliable source for the quote, you should be allowed to add it back. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 15:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Why do you restore obvious CITE SPAM?
edithttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Traffic_simulation&oldid=1258419722
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LVA001
Clearly you did not bother to check the edit history.
Next time, make a message about it. Might you explain why it's cite spam? Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 20:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I made a message about it being cite Spam. See the users edit history! Clearly COI self-cite spam! Noimprovement of the article, only dumping another cite. 2A02:3100:3E00:2300:C401:77F:3413:B9A9 (talk) 20:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem like cite spam. Source looks good, and it seems unlikely that LVA has a COI imo. Just give them some more rope, see if they hang themselves. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 20:50, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
