User morbosfist recently reverted an improperly-deleted article, I've commented on the deletions thread here. As Troy noted, this is against the rules (which state "If an author attempts to self-delete their work and fails to do so properly, either by blanking the page or renaming it, it will be deleted fully by Staff. … Please feel free to bring improper deletions to Staff's attention, but don't revert or edit them yourself.")

They've also made a noticeable number of other edits on SCP articles; the edits made on SCP-906 were unnecessary and as such, reverted. Vezaz is currently looking into the other edits to check.

Will PM momentarily.

After investigating I reverted Morbo's edits to six articles and left the others in tact. All of them were well meaning but overaggressive and about half of his edits were legitimate misspellings and mistakes. He's just hyper eager I guess. When you PM him please emphasize that spelling and punctuation can be fixed but that style points are not to be changed.

SCPs reverted were 1540, 1615, 1393, 1867, 618, and 906.

Okay, PM sent.

Hello,

I'm Zyn, a moderator on the SCP Foundation wiki. It's been noticed that you recently reverted an improperly deleted article (SCP-1536, by DasBastian). As per the Deletions Guide, feel free to bring improper deletions to Staff's attention, but please don't revert or edit them yourself.

Furthermore, numerous edits you've made to SCP articles have been reverted because they were unnecessary. While grammatical edits are appreciated, remember to consider an author's original intent before making edits, and be more careful when changing articles. While punctuation and spelling can be changed, keep in mind that style points should remain as they are.

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me or another staff member.

Regards,
Zyn

Edit: …apparently, after I sent this PM, he made an unauthorized reversion to the joke SCPs page. Roget commented here. Keep an eye on this one.

Formal warning now.

Hello,

It's been noticed that following my previous message, you've reverted a page without staff permission (the list of joke SCPs).

This is an official warning. Do not do this again. Your continued site membership is now under review. If you feel that any page merits a revert, please contact a staff member instead of reverting yourself.

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me or another staff member.

Regards,
Zyn
