I hadn't seen it before, but the article Italian brainrot is currently under a Arbitration Committee restriction. This restriction means only extended-confirmed editors can edit the article and that only one revert is permitted per 24-hour period. Since I did not see this restriction until I opened the talk page, I assume you didn't either. Unfortunately, this means you can not edit the article until you are an extended-confirmed editor, which happens automatically once you reach a few milestones as a registered editor. If you have questions, respond here or my talk page. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on any page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. This notice is in reference to the part of the Italian brainrot article that is related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 09:17, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thegoofhere! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 04:35, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What article is it Thegoofhere (talk) 04:39, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This happened in numerous articles: 1, 2, 3. Just wanted to let you know for future edits. Sarsenet•he/they•(talk) 05:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Sean Combs sexual misconduct allegations. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Needs more notability of the phrase. Can also be described at the allegations/trial page as a paragraph.

Per WP:BLPTALK, the Biography of a Living Person rules still apply on User Pages. You claimed that that IP is Joe Biden is pretty thin ice. I don't think it is clear cut enough for me to revert it (plus it is also pretty clearly a joke) but you probably want to remove it, just to be safe.
Also, I just want to say that you are doing great with your articles, you are filling a niche in Wikipedia that not many people want to fill, thank you!

Hello! Your submission of Italian brainrot at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! NeoGaze (talk) 11:13, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Thegoofhere Hello again, I have updated my review to correct some mistakes I made. Now you just have to provide a more interesting hook(s) backed with sources.

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. I'm hoping to see some of our older stale US articles improved! Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:12, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Not everything Hitler does deserves an article. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I got inspired by the idea of the See also section on one of the pages you created, which is 100 men versus a gorilla, which had Man or bear, another Internet thought experiment with a similar premise, and Harambe, another Internet meme featuring a gorilla. The reason why I'm inspired by it is since you're interested in Countryballs and Italian brainrot is that I want to add the aforementioned articles onto the See also section, since one of the nicknames for Serbia Strong is "Remove Kebab", a catchphrase for Serbiaball from Countryballs. The reason why I also wanted to add Italian brainrot in the See also section is that just like Serbia Strong, some Italian brainrot memes (such as Tralalero Tralala and Bombardino Crocodillo) are Islamophobic and make fun of an ethnic group (Palestinians for Bombardino Crocodillo, and Bosnians (refered to as Turks) and Croatians for Serbia Strong. Should we add this? DiscoveringMysteries03 (talk) 21:30, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We can do that for Countryballs, but I'm not really sure if we should include Italian brainrot there 🇺🇸Thegoofhere🇺🇸 (talk) 21:34, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently made edits related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. This is a standard message to inform you that post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people is a designated contentious topic.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Thegoofhere. IdanST (talk) 08:37, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 18 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 100 men versus a gorilla, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that according to the Zoo Miami communications director, 100 men could beat a single gorilla if they "envelop the gorilla and create a human straightjacket"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/100 men versus a gorilla. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 100 men versus a gorilla), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Wikipedia:Closing discussions#Closure procedure is the process for this, when it's needed. It should be an uninvolved editor who closes it, rather than the editor who started the discussion. You can ask at WP:RFCL for someone to close a discussion for you.

I don't think this one needed closing, though. Most talk page threads are fine to leave open forever. Belbury (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring, as you did at Iran–Israel war. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:08, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I already started a discussion on on the edits on Talk:Iran–Israel war#Tag Freesucrose repeatedly removed a maintenance tag without giving an explanation, please see WP:CRV. There is some slight consensus that the lead is way too long, see Talk:Iran–Israel war#Lead section. There is nothing disruptive in simply reverting unexplained removals of tags, especially when it involves an issue with the article's lead that still has yet to be fixed.Thegoofhere (talk) 22:26, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Edit warring is ipso facto disruptive. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 23:03, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Please include the original unblock request.

Decline reason:

Per SFR's response below, you have not shown you actually understand why your edits were disruptive and merited a block, so I can't unblock from this appeal. As it's only for 72 hours and is half-done already I suggest you take the next day to re-read the policies around contentious topics and edit warring, then come back with a fresh head.

The page is under WP:1RR sanctions, as is the entire Arab/Israel conflict, so you blew past a hard line.

Thank you for uploading File:Photo of the 6-7 Kid, 2025.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. tony 02:29, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of the 6-7 Kid, 2025.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:31, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thegoofhere. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Free Puff, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 12:09, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thegoofhere! I noticed that you've made several edits in order to restore your preferred version of Battle for Dream Island. The impulse to repeatedly undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure that you're aware of Wikipedia's edit warring policy. Repeatedly undoing the changes made by other users in a back-and-forth fashion like this is disallowed, even if you feel what you're doing is justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages in order to try to reach a consensus with the other editors involved. If you are unable to come to an agreement at Talk:Battle for Dream Island, please use one of the dispute resolution options that are available in order to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of repeatedly reverting other editors' changes can help you avoid getting drawn into edit wars. Just a note! Your getting close to your WP:3RR limit.

Hello, I'm Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Battle for Dream Island in which your edit summary did not appear to describe the change you made.

Hello, I'm Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Battle for Dream Island, but you didn't provide a reliable source.
