Meaning?

Hello mate, I see you've made edits with edit summary that reads "changed visibility of a revision on page Miriam Makeba: content hidden (RD1: Violations of copyright policy)" As your follower, this is confusing me haha but I'd like to know what it actually mean. Sorry! for interruption. dxneo (talk) 08:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dxneo! Basically it’s a tool called revision deletion (WP:Revision deletion). For certain types of policy-violating content, administrators have the ability to hide specific revisions from public view. Blatant copyright violations are one of those cases (see WP:RD1) and that’s what it was in this case. The message that you saw is simply a log that shows that I performed revision deletion at that article. Hope that makes sense! DanCherek (talk) 20:19, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely, taken, will nominate for GA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:05, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:19, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late: the hymn for this Sunday ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help

@DanCherek Hello. I'm contacting you as you helped me with a different matter a few weeks back. I hope you can help with this or tell me how to get help. The page for athlete Alastair Chalmers keeps getting vandalized by the same edit but different IPs. I keep reverting and warning them but as the person keeps switching IP I can't request they been blocked. I tried asking for page protection but got a bot message saying request was incorrectly formatted. I'm not good with technology so don't know how to format it correctly. Can you help in any way? Thank you for your time on this. Shrug02 (talk) 07:56, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shrug02, I've semi-protected the article for 2 weeks. BTW, I think your request was OK, it just hadn't been responded to yet due to a backlog. DanCherek (talk) 17:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
