March

The English Wikipedia article about the month of March was vandalized multiple times by fans of the Twitch streamers Ranboolive and Tubbo on March 1st, 2021, sparking an edit war. The vandalism was in honor of "My Beloved March," a joke about Ranboolive and Tubbo owning March, the name being based on the phrase "Ranboo My Beloved" from the "My Beloved" heart locket GIF meme.

The first two edits were made at 00:27 by anonymous editors. The first added "March belongs to fellow twitch streamers, Tubbo and Ranboo for a few quarters" to the beginning of the second paragraph and the second added "The month of March is owned by Ranboo and Tubbo" to the beginning of the first.

The second edit was then reverted, but not the first. . As the edit warring continued, the bold text at the beginning of the article was eventually changed to My Beloved March. At one point, an editor attempted to remove this, replacing it with a space and causing the first paragraph to display as a code block. The edits to the first paragraph were reverted, but "My Beloved March belongs to fellow twitch streamers, Tubbo and Ranboo for a few quarters" remained in the second, having seemingly gone unnoticed through multiple revisions. "ranboo said to get grass we say no" was added to the beginning of the second paragraph, and this was quickly automatically reverted while the paragraph's initial vandalism still remained untouched.

Another anonymous editor, presumably named Issie, added "NO ITS MY BIRTHDAY MY NAME IS ISSIE IT IS MY BDAY NOT RANBOO AND TUBBO MARCH ITS MY MONTH" to the middle of the second paragraph. Another editor later removed this, but also returned the space and broken formatting to the first paragraph. Historical Roman names in the origin section were then replaced with variations on the name Ranboo and "I like Marvel March much better, meaning that you watch a Marvel show or movie everyday of the month March" was added to the beginning of the second paragraph and promptly removed.

The next notable revision changed a single word. The word 'streamers' in the vandalized sentence of the second paragraph was replaced with the word 'fags.' This was changed back a few revisions later with an edit summary of "fixed typo." The next revision added "RANBOO RANBOO RANBOO STAN RANBOO HE OWNS MARCH !!!! I SWEAR HE DOES HE OWNS MY BELOVED MARCH" above the first paragraph.

A few revisions later, most edits were reverted; however, the vandalism to the second paragraph still remained, along with the first paragraph's broken formatting. After another few revisions, an anonymous editor contributed to the end of the first paragraph that "My Beloved March is also when M!Preg became canon in the Dream SMP thanks to Tubbo." The edit was immediately reverted.

At 00:38, user Schazjmd finally reverted most of the vandalism. The second paragraph, however, continued to remain vandalized. . After this, notable revisions include replacing the bold text at the beginning of the first paragraph with HEATWAVES BEEN FAKING ME OUT, a reference to the song "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals, the inspiration for a fanfiction featuring Twitch streamers Dreamwastaken and Georgenotfound, friends of Ranboolive and Tubbo. Other editors added the line "please stop editing the wiki" as well as the line "i am so sorry beetwt [Twitter fans of Tubbo] and bootwt [Twitter fans of Ranboo]" twice.

Next, these lines, along with the entirety of the first and second paragraphs, were replaced with the sentence "schlannies [fans of YouTuber Jschlatt] are gross." This was immediately reverted. The next few revisions were small, and then the Origin section was vandalized again. Martius was replaced with pregnant, Roman calendar with bee pregnancy , and Mars with Mars , which was promptly reverted.

A few revisions later, an anonymous editor deleted the entire Origin section, including the heading, and replaced it with "Ranboo and Tubbo coined the month of March on Ranboos livestream “AWESOME STORY AND Q AND A THING I THINK!”". In the next revision, someone replaced HEATWAVES BEEN FAKING ME OUT with Morch. This was reversed after a few revisions, and "streamers" was again replaced with "fags <3," this time with a heart emoticon. That edit was immediately reverted.

Eventually, after many revisions, the vandalized part of the article at 00:44 on March 1st, 2021 read as follows: Revision as of 00:44, 1 March 2021 PLS THIS IS INSANE MARCH MARCH MARCH

Other names
In the MCYT community, the month is called My Beloveed March, which is believed to originate from ranboo and tubbo marriage. During March, earth finally becomes visible under the snow (other etymological theories have however been put forward). In Ukrainian, the month is called березень/berezenʹ, meaning birch tree, and březen in Czech. Historical names for March include the Saxon Lentmonat, named after the March equinox and gradual lengthening of days, and the eventual namesake of Lent. Saxons also called March Rhed-monat or Hreth-monath (deriving from their goddess Rhedam/Hreth), and Angles called it Hyld-monath.

In Slovene, the traditional name is sušec, meaning the month when the earth becomes dry enough so that it is possible to cultivate it. The name was first written in 1466 in the Škofja Loka manuscript. Other names were used too, for example brezen and breznik, "the month of birches". The Turkish word Mart is given after the name of Mars the god.
