Vandalism on Ford American/Canadian SUV Timeline from the 90s Onward[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Ford trucks of the United States & Canada 1990 to present.

I had to manually revert your edit to the edit done in December. what you did to the SVT Line was vandalism.

See the vandalism for yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Ford_trucks_of_the_United_States_%26_Canada_1990_to_present&diff=prev&oldid=1217777790 Xp4eternity (talk) 16:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you think carefully before throwing around accusations of vandalism, and issuing threats. I made a number of edits to that template, one of which, I now see, broke a part of the table. I should have noticed, of course, but I did not. Thank you for fixing it. If you had brought it to my attention courteously, I would have fixed it myself. Colonies Chris (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying back.

You ain't the only one who have been there. So have I. On my old account, I had received numerous times that warning with no prior FYI. Not just with vandalism but other things like putting something with no "reliable source". I didn't know what you were trying to do. Many people like me would easily assume that was vandalism. But I'm glad you clarified the situation.

Also, there is always a preview on the right when you edit. I suggest you look at the preview as you edit. It will help a lot. Xp4eternity (talk) 21:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are expected to assume good faith, especially when dealing with someone who's been an editor for many years. And I suggest you don't patronise me. Now go away and don't come back to this talk page again. Colonies Chris (talk) 22:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, really:

"Now go away and don't come back to this talk page again."

Seriously, I was by an inch away from either reporting you or blocking you from editing the timeline but after reading (and that its a complex thing), I'm not gonna do that. You could had said it in a nicer way. The good faith and don't patronise things you said plus something like thank you. I'll make a note of that. or something around those lines.

If you want me to refrain from your talk page, then stop replying and you'll see how I will refrain from your talk page.

End of discussion. any other messages will be ignored. Xp4eternity (talk) 00:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hi Colonies Chris. Thank you for your work on O'Reilly Family Event Center. Another editor, SunDawn, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Good day! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia by writing this article. I have marked the article as reviewed. Have a wonderful and blessed day for you and your family!

{{Re|SunDawn}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.) @SunDawn @Colonies Chris Thank you for your page edits and contributions! It was a pleasure constructing the O’Reilly article and I’m happy I got the experience. Now for a few facts on my editing process:
I was looking through the List of NCAA Division II basketball arenas page looking for another venue deserving of a Wikipedia page. I started the process on several others, but they never really had the “spark” for a high-quality, “C-rated” or better page, so I scrapped them. Then I came across Drury University, and what won me over was Springfield News-Leader’s coverage on the arena’s construction and opening. I personally love O’Reilly’s exterior design. Also, the amount of concerts that have been held there is a plus and a compelling reason for O’Reilly to have a Wikipedia page. The research and editing process took about a month, maybe five weeks, from start to finish. I’d say it came out quite well for what it’s worth. Cheers to you both! Wjenkins96 (talk)
