Your recent editing pattern of useless whitespace edits is highly suspicious. Graham87 (talk) 04:18, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Also, your edit to June Spencer went against the cited source and changed the date and access-date parameters in invalid ways. Most importantly, it's clear that you've been trying to game your edit count. Graham87 (talk) 04:22, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Graham87 Surely a bit harsh?? I think this is disgusting actually after all the beneficial edits I have made. The only reason I have been contributing whitespace edits as you put it is because the birth template does not always update itself, if you look the only ones I do it for are people who have a birthday that day. Please don't be judgmental, I have no interest in 'upping' my edits, I've been here over 2 years. Why would I start now?? Holl194 (talk) 19:12, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, I've unblocked you; I understand what you've been trying to do now. Please don't add/remove spaces in situations like that; in future, either make a null editt or purge the page. I thought you might've been upping your edit count because you'd been making many more edits like that recently since the start of the Gaza conflict, and you'd been trying to achieve a high enough edit count to edit those pages for some sort of nefarious purposes. Stranger things have happened here. Graham87 (talk) 02:49, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Graham87 Okay no problem, thank you for understanding. I'm glad we could clarify it and I understand why you thought that Holl194 (talk) 03:52, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
- No worries ... now I've actually hit the unblock button. I thought I'd done that before but it seems not! Graham87 (talk) 05:01, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
