Hello!
[edit]Hello, Schminnte,
I was surprised a few months ago to see the Retired banner on your User talk page as you had been so active there for a while. I see you have recently edited so I'm just posting a note to say that you are missed. I completely understand if this project was taking up too much of your time or that off-wiki events became more important than this little hobby of ours. But your absence has been noticed and I hope you are doing well, whatever you are spending your time on. Take care. Liz Read! Talk! 20:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you @Liz, it means a lot to hear this from you. Schminnte [talk to me] 22:12, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

- As it is to see you! Burnout has mostly alleviated, and I did start missing the community. Looking forward to more work and creation. Schminnte [talk to me] 17:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your work combatting vandalism
[edit]Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your work combatting vandalism. I am currently reverting vandalism on the following pages, and saw that you also reverted some vandalism as well:
Gymnastics at the 2020 Summer Olympics
Gymnastics at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Women's vault
I have requested protection for these pages, but I wanted to ask if you had any more advice for preventing vandalism since I've seen you received a barnstar for your work. Thank you! IAmHz (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @IAmHz, I'd like to thank you for helping out as well. I remember what it was like to be a newcomer to AV, so I do have some tips:
- For situations like this protection can help, but if its one account over and over again it's recommended to report to AIV instead.
- Often if a vandal is actively editing it's better to leave them be after a revert, instead reporting to AIV.
- Remember to warn vandals.
- This can be done easily by using the tool, Twinkle.
- It is often easier to block vandals if they are warned first, since it shows they have exhausted good faith.
- For situations like this protection can help, but if its one account over and over again it's recommended to report to AIV instead.
- If you have anymore questions you can look at our policy page for vandalism or ask me here. All the best! Schminnte [talk to me] 22:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Schminnte,
- I really appreciate your prompt and detailed response. This gives me a much better idea of how to proceed in cases like this.
- Thanks again! IAmHz (talk) 22:48, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
