Talk:Splash
Hello, I'm not sure your latest edit there was useful. That user evaded blocks and filters to keep on pushing their (questionable) point of view on the Splash article proper, which I believe is enough to consider their continued involvement unwanted. I understand you were acting in good faith, so this is not a warning or a moderative notice of any kind. Just sharing my thoughts on this. If you believe I or other admins should have done something differently, please let me or another admin know.

Discord is the platform that hosts the "server" used by editors for real-time text chat coordination. The wiki page about the server is linked from the sidebar. --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 01:34, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I hadn't noticed that link. The meaning behind my comment on Talk:Splash was that one shouldn't assume things about others, and I used myself as an example of the anon's faulty assumptions. ~ Amatulic (talk) 03:17, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Question about twisting vines
Hey User:Amatulic I noticed that you reverted my edit on Twisting Vines. I have some proof that twisting vines were meant to stop fall damage. Here is a video that shows this and an article to from the minecraft bugs that talks about that twisting vines are supposed to stop fall damage. Here is the pic: Here is the video at this link. https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/hawh11/you_can_place_twisting_vines_under_you_to_negate/ Talk to me back and if you approve I will re-add my edit. --Brenty333 (talk) 18:47, 10 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi I don't doubt the fact you were trying to convey. I reverted your edit primarily because mainspace articles are not tutorials, and the purpose of your edit seemed to be giving playing advice as if the article was a tutorial. Also, mainspace articles have a more formal tone than tutorials, so we avoid the pronoun "you" in articles.
 * Looking at the version of the article when you made that edit, I just now noticed that your edit wasn't necessary, because under the Twisting Vines section, the article already said what you wrote: "Twisting vines can also be used similarly to a water bucket, as it can prevent fall damage." So there isn't any need to add your text back in; it's basically already there. Amatulic (talk) 05:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

About the annoyance from 116.882.69
Regarding :

I have seen you have to constantly revert edits from this ip ever since September. Have you ever considered reporting them on the Admin Noticeboard, or warning them on their talk page. It must be hard having to constantly having to undo their poorly attempted edits such as their comparisons with random mobs and their tutorial-like edits all the time. This person has not learned even after i told them on their talk page so i am thinking a block (most likely Permanent) would be necessary. What are your thoughts? James Haydon (talk) 04:34, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As I said on the IP's talk page, the fact that some edits are actually pretty good keeps me from requesting a block.
 * I feel that a temporary block to get his attention and get him to start communicating would be helpful.
 * I think the IP can be a good editor, he clearly isn't a vandal, he is acting in good faith. He just needs to listen to guidance and lose the fanboy perspective when editing and pay more attention to grammar and spelling.
 * The address is from Singapore, and having been there numerous times myself (including for my own wedding), I know everyone there is pretty fluent in English although they do have their own peculiar way of using English. Amatulic (talk) 16:07, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay but them not responding to anything on their talk page and that they never summarize their edits will make it worse of them long term. I recommend they give a reason for this or stop. They could speak English very well as you mentioned so i don't get why they have not yet said anything. James Haydon (talk) 16:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have started a discussion at MCW:AN. Amatulic (talk) 03:30, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well it looks like they were never blocked and that discussion went nowhere so I guess we will have to wait even longer. James Haydon (talk) 20:14, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That IP address has been quiet for a week. Either that person has taken a break or his ISP has changed his address. Amatulic (talk) 20:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
 * They actually created an account. TheGreatSpring (talk) 02:09, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Which account?Humiebee (talk) 02:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Their account is User:KieranHafiz. TheGreatSpring (talk) 03:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * If that's the same person, he's being unusually communicative in the comment section of his profile page. The IP address never once engaged in conversation on any talk page. Amatulic (talk) 04:37, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * One of my evidence that they are the same person is the videos. TheGreatSpring (talk) 04:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * My theory is that they didn't know how to use talk pages and thought that using profile comments are easier. But hey, at least we can finally talk to him. James Haydon (talk) 18:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Regarding your undoing my edit to spawner
Opaque blocks block light, spawners don't, thus not blocking light is not a propertry of opaque blocks yet spawners have it, therefore my edit was not a contradiction. – Unsigned comment added by Cool amp (talk • contribs) at 13:42, 18 December 2020‎ (UTC). Sign comments with
 * Hi I didn't object to your addition of the fact that spawners don't block light, I objected to the fact that the sentence you wrote would sound like a contradiction to any casual reader unfamiliar with the Minecraft definition of opacity. I was hasty in reverting you instead of rewriting the sentence, and I apologize for that. I have attempted to reword it so it makes more sense. Amatulic (talk) 00:07, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Boss Fight Music
I recently saw that you removed links to the boss fight music on all the mini-boss and boss pages for minecraft dungeons. I'm assuming this is because of copyright issues. If that is the case, maybe we can shorten these tacks to 30 seconds and upload them as sounds to the wiki instead. James Haydon (talk) 23:42, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, we should not link to copyright violations on youtube. And a youtube link is especially inappropriate in the lead paragraph of any article. The purpose of those links smelled like clickbait to me, a means to attract views to someone's personal channel. I have no objection to short sound clips uploaded to this wiki and embedded in the article. Amatulic (talk) 01:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Also something similar happened with recently where he added one of his own YouTube videos to the Rampart Captain article in order to show off its health. James Haydon (talk) 05:18, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
