WaltK's ban
Hello! Just notifying you that User:WaltK posted a message on your Community Central talk page appealing a ban you gave him, in case you didn't get a notification. His case seems reasonable at first glance, though I haven't looked into it personally. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  21:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you never replied, so he contacted me as per Help:I'm blocked. I've taken it upon myself to unblock him. Although his message did contain profanity it wasn't a personal attack directed at any individual, so I think the time he's already been blocked is plenty sufficient for procedure — and he does do very useful work in the main namespace on the Doctor Whoah! pages and whatnot, whatever he'd done in the Discussions area. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  11:31, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Sock puppetry and likely vandalism
Hi, there are two users that may be sock puppets who are creating/adding fan fiction, Sarahkitt85 and 82.25.60.41 Valeyard12.5 ☎  21:53, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Tally
Hi there, I just found myself having some difficulty counting up the marks in the Tally on your user page. So in case you want to replicate regular where every group of 5 is signified by four lines struck through, I thought I'd let you know that this Chinese symbol exists: 卌. (Of course, you could just use ||||, but where's the fun in that?) Hope you've been well! – n8 (☎) 14:06, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Rename Tag
Hey, I noticed you've asked for a rename tag for the page: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Segun_Akinola_Lietmotivs

I'd like to change it to "Segun Akinola's Leitmotifs" but I have no idea how to make a rename tag. When I try and find other tags I don't see rename and then I'm not sure how to add it to the article in question.

Do you have a guide for this?

Thank you :)

Re: OS12th
Oh, yes, thank you for spotting that! One of the listings should be User:Amorkuz, of course. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  05:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

FandomDesktop migration
Hey there! We are due to migrate this wiki very soon to FandomDesktop and I need to help get a light theme ready. Apologies for the short notice of this, there were some unforeseen circumstances.

It would be great to work with the entire admin team to get the wiki ready for FandomDesktop. Have you been using the new skin? I'm going to start some preparation tomorrow and it would be great to work with the admin team on this. We may need to:


 * Adjust the theme on light theme
 * Adjust templates
 * Adjust CSS/JS
 * and more potentially.

If you have any suggestions for how we can collaborate, please let me know. I wondered if a forum thread on Forum:Index might work? Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you! --Spongebob456 talk 18:47, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Timeline template
I'm a new user on this fandom, though I am currently the owner of Eminem Wiki, so I'm not a complete stranger to editing templates. I noticed your timeline template has things a bit out of order and doesn't include certain years. I was wondering if you could give me an opportunity to take a look at it and see if I could make it properly display the years on the Timeline template. However, I will not complete any edits without running it by you. - Kris tha 6'7" ☎ 17:22, 23 July 2021 (CST)

Timeline update #2
So, I believe that I've come up with a solution to the issue with the timeline template, though, I did create a new page called Template:Order of Centuries, which is useless and should be deleted. I'm not entirely sure of my revision for the Timeline template issue, so I'm going to give it a shot under Template:TimelineRevision. If it works (and I'm going to test it out briefly on the Timeline page), I'll let you know. - Kris tha 6'7" ☎ 18:10, 24 July 2021 (CST)

Hey there! Can I confirm you received an email re Community Connect please? May be in spam and it's to the email associated with your Fandom account. Is this something you would be interested in attending? Thanks! --Spongebob456 talk 10:28, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Little Shop page
Hi there! I created a page named Little Shop and you removed it because you don’t make pages about running gags. May I ask why? It may be a stupid question but I’m just curious. Caroline ☎  00:45, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

The Master page
Hi. I think The Master page may need a bit of admin work to fix the vandalism from our recently blocked "friend". The page has the correct title at the top of the page, but the infobox, talk page, and history pages still have the vandalised title. And there is still a redirect as well. LauraBatham ☎  04:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Dalek Page Vandalism
It's come to my eyes that upon loading the wiki, someone has vandalised the Dalek page and called it JEWS MUST BE EXTERMINATED! It seems upon viewing that someone saw this and made a first time edit to remove an antisemetic comment at the top of the page and they have left a note about it requesting that a mod or admin clear everything up. However, the page name remains the questionable statement.

Fandom projects
Hi! Got a couple of things:

As this wiki used to use Special:Forum, Fandom wants to make sure that old forum links and references aren't cluttering up maintenance special pages (unusedfiles, needed pages etc). Would you mind checking and letting me know asap as to whether that's an issue for this wiki? Just looking for dead links to forums in special pages, or links to images used in forums but are now dead, stuff like that. No need to attempt to cleanup yourself, I just need to know if they exist.

Secondly, did you receive an email sent last week I believe inviting you to The Downstream on September 10th? The email is titled "[The Downstream] Ask Fandom Anything, Social Media Tips, and Data Insights". I just want to confirm you received the email as we know Fandom outreach emails often land in spam.

If you could let me know about both of those things, that would be fantastic. Thanks! --Spongebob456 talk 09:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, just a reminder that The Downstream is Friday, September 10 at 11am EST at https://www.twitch.tv/Fandom. You can register/RSVP and add the event to your calendar here. That page also gives a lot of detail on what the event offers. Any questions, please let me know! --Spongebob456 talk 12:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just wanting you to know, Someone has vandalized Dinosaurs on a spaceship right side bar pretty badly Andy Liu1978 ☎  20:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Andy Liu1978

Yeah the same vandal is back under a different account. He's vandalising the same page and signing it with the same comments Valeyard12.5 ☎  18:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Still don't see a good reason,
Could you please give me a specific Link? Thank you.

Lavel Article Name change
The Lavel article has had a tag on it for over 4 years, and no one other than myself has made any kind of discussion on the article talk page regarding the name change. Given the sheer amount of time for users to discuss such a change, unless you or another admin has any objections, I move to change the article name, either by myself if I can get the go-ahead, or an admin with more familiarity with the process. Pbandfluff ☎  18:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Apologies
Im sorry, I didnt know that fan-fiction wasnt allowed and I didnt thunk that my post catagoriezed as Fan-Fiction.

Galaxies of apologies - Justin_story56

Redirects
Yeah, I left the redirects intentionally since they're all being used by other users to link to my sandboxes, and I'm not comfortable editing their messages or breaking their links. – n8 (☎) 16:50, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Blanking

The Sarah Jane Adventures
I just noticed a user is reverting edits you made to the page The Sarah Jane Adventures, which as you're an admin, I seemed was quite odd that they would revert specifically the stuff you edited. EDIT: I forgot to sign this. ThomasRWade ☎  11:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Vandal on the Dalek and Davros pages
Hi. There is a vandal that keeps editing the Davros and Dalek pages. I have undone their edits a few times, but it's starting to get into edit warring territory, so could you please have a word with them or block them. Thanks. LauraBatham ☎  23:42, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Checking in
Hi there! Sorry it has been a little while since I last checked in, I have been out of action for the last two weeks unfortunately. How are things going? One thing I did notice was that the navigation in dark theme, the Explore tab in white is hard to read. Have you guys noticed that? Figured if we do what we did before and if we continue a single thread on my talk page, it might be easier for us to keep track. Hope that's ok! :) --Spongebob456 talk 09:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Forum Confusion
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but I wasn't sure where I should ask. I wanted to make a forum post - specifically in the Panopticon, regarding something I'm really campaigning for something to change on the wiki.

I've been out of the loop for a while and the Fandom updates sure do confuse me, but I digress.

When I try to make a forum post here I get hit with a "You do not have permission to edit pages in the Forum namespace." I know forums weren't a thing for a bit but I see they're here now and would like some clarification on this!

Thanking you!

StevieGLiverpool ☎  00:29, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Shambala: I've informed User:StevieGLiverpool on his own talk page that the Forums still aren't functional — but I'm taking this opportunity to spread the word to you that User:CzechOut has told me in off-Wiki chats that he hopes to have Board:The Panopticon functional before November.

Username change
Hello. You closed my thread, and I hadn't the time to write you a reply before you did. Regarding my username change... I have my old username in my profile. It's there, right after "aka". Isn't it enough? Lil&#39; Golden Rat ☎  02:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Reverted page moves
Hi, I'm terribly sorry but I noticed that you reverted both of the page moves I made today (FI's teas and Depositary 23) with the explanation "Cleaning up after page move by non-admin" and I was wondering if you'd be willing to tell me why, so I can avoid making similar mistakes in future? I thought I had reasonable grounds for both moves, and that neither would break anything (both pages being fairly minor articles and leaving the redirects); is there a blanket ban on non-admin users moving pages or something? Apologies Starkidsoph ☎  05:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Concern about New User on the Discussion Baords
I'm concerned that a new user on the discussion boards, DoctorsIBS, is a troll as they are not only spamming posts, but being generally unpleasant in their choice of posts and discussions. Lucian Corbyn ☎  20:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing this up, Lucian. User:DoctorsIBS is also vandalising several pages on the wiki to boot. Danochy ☎  21:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Question
While I do apologise for choosing the edit summary as the place to initially bring this up, as you can't exactly have any sort of nuanced discussion there due to its format and this is the kind of thing that needs slightly more nuanced discussion, but if I may ask;

WHY is it that;

1. Any other kind of adaptation (such as audio adaptation, TV adaption of an EU story, etc.) is listed seperately in the infobox

2. Novelisations themselves are listed seperately in "list of appearances" pages

3. Novelisations aren't listed seperately in infoboxes

Seems a bit... just odd to me, is all. NightmareofEden ☎  10:35, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Why don’t you have certain rules that you often bring up in the discussions guidelines?
You always tell users to contact an admin's talk page for stuff to do with the main wiki rather than bringing if to discussions, but why do you not have that in the wiki guidelines? This includes other stuff such as no advertising other wikis, always have titles that "make sense", complain about other users on an admin's talk page if you feel they've done something wrong, and no celebrating their birthday. (unless it's Doctor Who themed, I guess) I bet you could think of more examples. Why are rules like those rules not in the guidelines? It would save you and other users time cause you wouldn't have to warn them about it (at least if they've read the guidelines). GaganTopia ☎  01:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Poopybtutholee
Hi hope you are well. A user Poopybuttholee is vandalising pages, as well as have an unacceptable username. Valeyard12.5 ☎  07:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Re: User questions
Hi, I was not intending to present myself as an experienced editor with whom people can come to for general questions. When it comes to most things, including policy, I agree that an admin eould be better. However, I have spent the majority of my time here on Tardis looking into the technical side of editing, including a lot of time spent on the forums situation. Therefore, I would consider myself more experienced on this topic then most editors and am happy to share what I know when it is relevant. I am sorry if I overstepped my authority (or lack thereof) here, though. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎  08:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Question re: ICC rules
Hello;

I noticed you removed this file for "multiple violations" of the ICC rules. Upon review, however, I could not determine which rules were broken by the image. Could you help me in this regard?

Here is a Google Drive link to the file so I don't break the same rules for reuploading the image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AbbwnSAb01GwfM9-88WlhhFByUzjP6fn/view?usp=sharing

Links in the forum posts
Good day to you, Shamb. I have a quick question about the policy against links in forum posts. Are users prohibited from posting any links or just links that promote their sites/blogs and whatnot? I tried searching for this specific bit in the policies section, but got nothing. Thanks. Lil&#39; Golden Rat ☎  01:34, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey there!
So, I’ve noticed this wiki is lacking on Discussions Moderators. I’m a discussions mod on another wiki (the Miitopia wiki), and I seem to do well there, so I’ve been thinking I could maybe be a Discussions Mod here? Now, obviously I’m not the most active user here right now, but I could become more active, as I am a big fan of the show and I’d be willing to help out with the moderation. What are the qualifications for being a mod here, exactly? Thanks - GaganTopia ☎  19:04, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Off-topic Megathread?
So I’ve seen a few wikis with off-topic megathreads (Jurassic Park wiki being one example), which are basically discussions threads where users can post whatever they want that is not related to the subject of the wiki (in this case Doctor Who) in the replies to that thread. We could put it in FANDOM posts, so it’s easier to find, and we can tell users about it whenever a discussion is or goes off-topic. Maybe we could call it “The Void” too, as it is technically outside of “the universe of the wiki”. What do you think about this idea? GaganTopia ☎  19:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

This user has an inappropriate pfp
User:Dejdhdjdjdjfxjx As you can see by looking closely, their pfp is of a (trouser-covered) buttock. What should we do? Should we warn them to change their pfp with the punishment for not changing it being block, or should we block them instantly, or something else? GaganTopia ☎  21:12, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I never meant to offend you
I did not mean any offence by saying that you were not responding to my talk pages, I was just saying it in case the users I told the things to instead of you pointed out that I already told it to you. I never meant any offence, sorry. Anyway, thanks for the help! GaganTopia ☎  20:48, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Fandom updates
Hey there! I posted some Fandom updates here, which includes details on an upcoming MediaWiki upgrade to the platform. If you have any questions/feedback/comments on it, please do message on my talk page! As normal, if you wanted to continue a thread left by another admin too that'd be great to keep things in one place. Thanks! :) --Spongebob456 talk 21:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Please accept my apologies. Could you please advise further about how to go about having the debate as to whether said characters are companions? Apologies again. Gearedspy ☎  11:35, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

I confess, I had an old account here
The account was called King of the Sandmen. I was hesitant to tell you this, as I was worried you would punish me for using multiple accounts (even if they were mainly used at different times and none of them were used to evade any bans, and I now find out this does not violate T:SOCK due to the reasons above and the fact that I have added it to my user page), but now I have decided to tell you. I switched my account from King of the Sandmen to GaganTopia in August to hide my identity from another wiki. I claimed he was my cousin, even on here, because I didn’t want the other wiki to see and find out the truth, but I have revealed the truth to you, and on my user page, and later, I may reveal it to the rest of the wiki in a post saying how I really got into Doctor Who. Proof of him being me and what I did which made me switch accounts is on this thread from another wiki in December last year - https://third-claric.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000027551

I’ve just been wondering, since this means I’ve been posting here for nearly a year now (since April the 2nd), does that mean I can get discussions moderator rights sooner? Allow me to remind you that I applied for the rights to you last month and have been showing I can prove myself multiple times. If I can’t get them sooner, due to using a previous active alt from here to fit in with the requirements, or just multiple accounts not being allowed to be used on here (though I wasn’t using them to get around any ban), or something else, then that’s fine. I will still go on to show that I can prove myself, as I’m sure I would be very good at the job, as I am super active and I understand the rules and can explain them to users as you do, and I’m sure I can hold off trolls in discussions till the admins block them. It’s up to you guys though. So yeah, share your thoughts.

Thanks - GaganTopia ☎  19:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Vandal
Hey Shambala, that vandal also messed with a bunch of page titles, as can be seen on the Move log. I know this wiki has strict rules for who can move pages and who can't so do not know if I can move them back but know an admin can Editoronthewiki ☎  04:14, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

RE: Previous account
Hi. I will try to read and show I can understand all of the rules that apply to discussions. But one question, what about warning users about gratuitous swearing? That is a violation of the discussions guidelines. Oh, and not to sound pushy or demanding or whatever, but when can I apply for moderator rights again? Thanks :) - GaganTopia ☎  07:23, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Re: Epsilon
(Thank you for stepping in, I think another pair of eyes was needed.)

Regarding Epsilon, as I told User:DrWHOCorrieFan, I vaguely thought a further warning from me would be redundant because DrWHOCorrieFan themself had already reproached Epsilon for it — even if they shouldn't have assumed the authority to do so — and I assumed Epsilon would see my message to DrWHOCorrieFan in which I granted that their message itself had been correct.

But — thinking about it more — yeah, I think you're right. Epsilon likely got the message in practice, but all the same, this was a bit muddled and illegible from an outside view — and that outside view does matter. I'll go and leave a pro forma message at User talk:Epsilon the Eternal. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 23:56, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

T:NO RW
Hello Shambala108,

I was wondering if you would care to take a look at the discussion over at Talk:Larcenia Floyd. The discussion is in regards to T:NO RW, which was edited by User:Scrooge MacDuck mid-discussion due to the policy being "outdated" and there being a general consensus in place, however I recall that at Talk:Shrek your idea of T:NO RW was more akin to mine. I thought your input would be important here. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I believe User:DrWHOCorrieFan is referring to the discussion at Talk:Shrek concerning the blurry characters on the Shrek poster. Just to be clear, my recent update to T:NO RW had nothing to do with this, and instead served to clarify the common practice on conjectural names. Feel free to check out the talk page, though! Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 19:51, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't believe that it has nothing to do with this.


 * The comment Shambala agreed with was; "isn't that breaking some sort of rule about putting real-world information onto pages as their counterparts in the DWU could be completely different". They stated "The above is true: T:NO RW". Larcenia Floyd was not named in the source material so therefore, like these characters, it would be a breach of the original T:NO RW (prior to your edits) as it would include putting real-world information onto pages despite the fact that their counterparts in the DWU could be different.


 * I have nothing more to say as I'm going round it circles, but Shambala seemed to agree with the original rule so might have objections to your changing it. I will leave it with them and if they want to involve themselves they can. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:57, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Spoilers
Hi please make sure to read our spoiler policy at Tardis:Spoiler policy. No matter how official something is, on this wiki it's considered a spoiler until air time of an episode with the information. The posts you have made on the discussion board have been deleted because you did not put them in the Spoilers category. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  03:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As talk pages are no longer fully supported by Fandom, I'm posting this both as an edit to the original post on my talk page and am posting it on the talk page of the editor who posted on my talk page.


 * As it happens, I did read the Spoiler policy and also the Spoiler page which defines spoiler differently. By both of those, I personally don't see this as a spoiler.

 * Even doing just a basic search for "Doctor Who," that information pops up as one of the top results.


 * "Spoiler" is apparently applied on this wiki in a way that doesn't fit English language definitions of the word.


 * For example, Merriam-Webster: "information about the plot of a motion picture or TV program that can spoil a viewer's sense of surprise or :suspense" also "a person who discloses such information."


 * Perhaps you might want to find or even create a word that would have the definition you intend. This could be a word that would clarify that you do not allow on-topic public information that appears in so many sources that it's hard to avoid seeing it.


 * I hope this helps!

Namespace of talk pages and Forums
You wrote "Closing this post because any change to policy must be brought in the namespace of talk pages or forum posts, not these discussion boards." I didn't see any information on how you want someone to post in "namespace of talk pages" that would reach this wiki's community as a whole (which Fandom requires be the final decision maker on community issues), or "forums" here. Can you give me a link to your required procedure? Thanks for your help. Alden Loveshade ☎  04:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Mistakes
As of now, I'll never knowingly do something wrong. If I do or did something wrong, I wasn't certain if the category fit. User:Sum41Champ talk

T:SPOIL issue
Hey! To clarify: by no means did I 'scold' User:DrWHOCorrieFan for their initial suggestion. Insofar as I later 'scolded' them, it was for re-adding the potentially-spoilery talk page post itself, twice, after I had deleted it and explained in an edit summary why it could be construed as spoilery (and that discussion about this should be undertaken at Howling:The Howling instead). But DrWHOCorrieFan's original post itself was certainly in good faith and not something to be scolded for. This, I don't dispute. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 02:37, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for weighing in. From what I can gather (had another reread) T:SPOIL prevents spoilers - it does not prevent someone from suggesting something could be spoilery or likely to be spoiled. Nothing in my post contained spoilers and would have not alerted the average reader to any spoilery information if they were not already clued in, it was incorrectly removed. But alas, it is not that much of a big deal. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  05:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Deleting unnecessary redirects
Of course; I always do. Thank you for the reminder! – n8 (☎) 14:48, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Checking in
Hey, just chiming in to check on something I noticed on your reply on User:DrWHOCorrieFan's talk page.

When you talk about "nothing being in written policy et al.", I assume you're having in mind those latest update to FANDOM's network-wide policy, right?

When it comes to guidances over the interpretation of policy, like before it becomes a blockable offence, I didn't interpret it as everything needing to be made explicit (though it never hurts to update our policies anyway, with you there :p).

Anyway, how've you been? Happy editings. OncomingStorm12th ☎  19:44, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Ironically all these discussions about my comment are just as spoilery as the original! DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:56, 7 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Asking here in the offchance that you or OncomingStorm12th can clarify: the new updates to FANDOM policy still allow for "unwritten rules", right? They just say that these unwritten rules can't contradict the text of the policies as written.
 * I just want to avoid any appearance that my renames have been exploitation of any "loophole" where "nowhere does policy explicitly forbid it". Rather, I've been moving pages because policy explicitly allows it and doesn't leave a loophole. – n8 (☎) 21:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

About that poll you recently locked
Hi, in case you didn't know, that was referencing a lost story of the Doctor Who spinoff The Sarah Jane Adventures, specifically a scrapped story of that spinoff called The Thirteenth Floor. I just wanted to let you know this, seeing as it is DW related. The poll I'm referencing is here > https://tardis.fandom.com/d/p/4400000000003622349 Thanks. A King&#39;s Heir ☎  12:19, 8 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I do agree with @A King's Heir; it very much is related to Doctor Who, just from an out-of-universe production standpoint. Definitely should be unlocked. 📯 📂 12:23, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Apology
Hey Shambala108, just so you know I am the same user that write those yelling messages to user Ebyabe back in May 2016. I’m here to let you both know that I am deeply sorry for the way I spoke to him six years ago, I know now what I did was wrong before, because back then I didn’t know any better. But now since years when by, I now have deep regrets for the way I acted towards him on here, because the reason why I got angry with him is because I felt like I was being mistreated by him. But now I know it was just a misunderstanding. Please, I’m begging for forgiveness. Again, I am very, very, very, sorry for my past behavior towards him on his talk page all those years ago. I really hope you both can forgive me? Because I really mean it and I promise not to treat him like that again. Anonymously64 ☎  15:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi
I want to ask you politely to please stop restoring my removed edits, because those are harassment posts I made in the past and I’m just trying to be polite by removing and be very apologetic about it to him. Can you please don’t touch my edits again please. Anonymously64 ☎  03:03, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Sorry
Look, I’m really sorry to say this to you. But no, that rule is completely dumb and ridiculous, so your telling me if someone leaves a harassing post on my talk page, can’t remove it and report it? That is so dumb. It’s my post and I have the right to remove it, again, it’s a harassment post and I was just trying to be nice by removing it and be very apologetic to him about it. Please, I’m asking you politely to just let me remove it and I will move in with my day. Please.

P.S. So all because I was trying to be nice by removing my harassment posts and be very apologetic about to him and yet you sill had the guts to block me over that… seriously!?!? 174.242.66.91talk to me 03:16, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Apology 2
Look, I’m really sorry for deleting those talk page messages. I was just trying to be nice and I was only trying to be very apologetic about my past behavior towards him back in 2016. Plus, the second reason I was removing those messages is because I didn’t want my real name on their, I just wanted to remove my real name because I keep my real name private for personal reasons. But why is that a rule? That we can’t remove our previous post in the past? Because first off, yes, I know what I did to him back in 2016 was wrong and yelling at him was also wrong too. Because Zit felt like I was being mistreated by him, that’s why I kept on getting angry at him before. Plus, I’m also sorry for removing your talk page posts on my user talk page too. I just get really nervous so easily and sometimes I just don’t know how to respond to them, I was just afraid you wouldn’t listen what I have to say if I explained myself. But now that you know, I hope you understand, Again, I am deeply sorry. 174.242.77.252talk to me 18:11, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
