I mentioned how significant he was on my first FA nomination, and he's assisted me on multiple projects outside of the video game topic. Thank you for your consideration! As someone whose only been editing for a few months, all of the banners on my profile were awarded to me ''by'' ferret, and (liking shiny things), that has kept me here. That is a good editor.

RevanRevanRevan

Hi Ferret, you may already be onto this but fairly certain they are a sock of InfinityTrainer/Cassandra872. InfinityTrainer also took issue with claims of Revan's gender. S0091 (talk) 17:12, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: Worth a quickcheck? -- ferret (talk) 17:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Confirmed, along with MaxinePowerful. I'm not 100% sure, but there might be some proxy use here. It's hard to tell what you're looking at sometimes. It's possible that some of my range blocks aren't wide enough. I can look closer if more socks show up. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ferret. I believe whoever is behind InfinityTrainer/Cassandra872/RevanRevanRevan is back to editing articles in the KoTOR series (Carth Onasi and Bastila Shan) with the same editing pattern, only this time they are operating as an IP user as opposed to utilizing another sockpuppet user account. Not sure if it's worth noting or looking into, but I thought I'd inform you. Thanks. Haleth (talk) 15:03, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@NinjaRobotPirate: Behaviorally, seems likely. I know it's an IP, but if you think it's worth doing another check or range adjustment. Looks like it's a proxy IP. -- ferret (talk) 15:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Special:Contributions/211.197.11.0/24 looks to me like it's part of a VPN. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:46, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@NinjaRobotPirate: Ooof. The /24 makes it clear he's operating on that VPN range. The rest lines up too. -- ferret (talk) 16:54, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Xbox

i Apologize For Uploading incorrect images Of Xbox And it Will Not Happen Again Thank You Nakita Kelley (talk) 09:03, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And then you did it again, which is why I gave you a final warning. -- ferret (talk) 01:29, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay i Will Not Upload Are Edit Anything Nakita Kelley (talk) 01:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Please Tell How To Remove My Account Please Please Please! 😭 Nakita Kelley (talk) 01:06, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Block Are Something i Just Off Wikipedia And i'm Not Going To Stop Bugging You intell You Remove My Wikipedia Account Nakita Kelley (talk) 01:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accounts cannot be removed or deleted. You can simply stop editing if you don't want to edit any further. -- ferret (talk) 01:29, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not good at saying no

I was gonna make a post at WT:VG about that additon on how I should say that we can't do that stuff. So thanks, I guess. Panini🥪 Bold text

I wanted to let you know

The edit request that you blocked me for was later granted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.255.130.113 (talk) 21:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion? This appears to be the same person who disrupted talk:minecraft. I don't remember the IP they used. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:51, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Literally don't know which edit request you're talking about. I don't see any changes at all related to your non-sense edit requests from before. This kind of bragging is disruption as well besides. @Guy Macon: Not evasion as the original block has expired but I don't have high hopes they'll be constructive. -- ferret (talk) 21:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, the change I wanted was to add hardcore mode to the list of gamemodes in Minecraft.

If you go there, you will see that it is added, with the text in parentheses, (only available in Java edition).


And second, how does someone "evade" a block? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.255.130.113 (talk) 15:13, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Hardcore mode" has been in the article for a long long time. It was not recently added. Just further illustrates the disruptiveness of your previous edit requests. None of them seemed to have mentioned Hardcore mode anyways. -- ferret (talk) 15:57, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

174.255.130.113 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is still bothering me on my talk page.[1] --Guy Macon (talk) 18:38, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Its kinda hard for me to show you, because you deleted said edit requests.

Mind copy and pasting them here?

You said, "not everyone plays on Java edition."

This article is for all Minecraft users.

And yet hardcore mode was not included.

I would like to see my edit requests.

Unless I am losing my memory completely, I asked for you to add Hardcore mode.Or spectator, I dont remember which.

(talk page watcher) Even if edits are deleted, you should be able link to your edit from the WP:PAGEHISTORY, which registers virtually every edit ever made. FYI. Sergecross73 msg me 20:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article has a section on hardcore mode and has had it for a long time. All of your edit requests are visible in this old diff: Special:Diff/1012305628. You mention hardcore once, in context of "five difficulties". It's time to drop the stick and move on, continuing to bother people about this, especially when you don't seem to remember what you're talking about, is disruptive. -- ferret (talk) 20:16, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You changed something, and I don't know what, but you are right.

This discussion serves no further purpose and is a waste of our time.

  • drops stick*

Ferret

Yeah, felt familiar but I was confused since before his previous block he wanted to write something different.Tintor2 (talk) 18:08, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Asobi Asobase

If you think my edit is not an improvement, I hope you *correct" the translation of the title instead of me. I think I had linked enough informational pages to help for the correct interpretation and explanation of the construction. The current translation is so off that it's hard to pass by for me. As I already asked, where did it come from in the first place? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.184.170.210 (talk) 13:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first problem is that we simply don't do what you did. We don't cram in an actual dictionary definition of Japanese words and explain them like that. At a glance, there was not a real explanation for your change. Often times a direct literal translation is not intended. Many titles are translated to something more full than their direct literal meaning. Finally... It looks like the current version was set in August 2020, Special:Diff/971479184, by a Japanese editor from Fujitsu. Between two Japanese IP editors changing it, I won't contest further changes, but keep in mind we wouldn't list out dictionary definitions regardless. -- ferret (talk) 13:33, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm saying that the translation is simply *wrong" unless it's a free translation. And I think the translation is supposed to be there to be a literal translation or an explanation of the original language title, but not a free translation (confusing and I think it is not even good at that.) I hope you correct the translation in my place, having you reverted my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.184.170.210 (talk) 14:13, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic Move

I am very sorry that I moved the page. But I think it is constructive. It was to prevent ambiguity. Should we begin a discussion to move the page? (on sonic talk page) Because That was seriously a constructive edit--CrayonArt45 (talk) 00:48, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I moved it again, is it good now?--CrayonArt45 (talk) 00:48, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CrayonArt45: No, please don't waste time opening such a discussion. The move you made goes against our naming policies, and the current name is the proper location as it's the primary topic (the franchise as a whole). We use other methods, such as hatnotes and disambiguation, to denote other topics that share a similar name like the actual character or first game. You don't seem to have moved it again, THANKFULLY, if you do you'll likely be blocked for the disruption you're causing. -- ferret (talk) 00:49, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was just about to do that! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CrayonArt45 (talkcontribs) 00:51, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to do anything. We've already had a lot of discussions on this, and it's currently handled in a way that is supported by policy and had a consensus of editors. There's nothing to be done. Sergecross73 msg me 01:02, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DuckTales Remastered

Thanks for correcting the page — my yesterday's edit was done out of mistake. All i needed to do is to add the second composer and a source reference without pressing the undo button. Have a nice day. Eastwestlost (talk) 09:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

no knife/rob crow

I get it, but does this count? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc3Sl5RQ3YU I'm kinda puzzled, thanks in advance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eastwestlost (talkcontribs) 14:05, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Template:Infobox_musical_artist#associated_acts. This explains what's allow or not. No, guest singing on a cover isn't really enough. "One-time collaboration for a single song" is also disallowed as is "Groups that have played or toured together as separate acts". -- ferret (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That explains a lot! Kudos to you, sir.Eastwestlost (talk) 14:51, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ferret is a long-term administrator with a heavy focus on vandalism. Ferret has long been a vanguard for WP:VG content, but in Early January he undertook a project I would never even consider. Following specific post about the list of PlayStation 3 games, ferret spent hours fixing the lists (1, 2, 3, 4). I know that this award is meant to support mostly new editors, being a part of WP:RETENTION, but ferret does help new editors. For example, me.
