@Paine Ellsworth Thanks for the welcome! Welcome back i guess :P. It honestly feels good to be welcomed, I tend to get disillusioned and feel unwelcome on wiki becasue of people here always dismissing any correction or suggestion i make as "Ukrainian nationalism" and insinuating that as a Ukrainian i have no right to talk about my language, country, history or whatever else on here.

You asked my opinion about the article Reg Hartt. It's horribly written and needs a rewrite. Some of the references are to newspapers, which seems good, but I haven't checked the actual reference text to see what they say about him. RJFJR (talk) 13:18, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jacques Parizeau, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Québécois.

In response to your earlier inquiry, I just did a few searches and just looking at the early 100s archives I found the following:
Scanning through search results there are many more, something like n+1 total discussions where n is some biggish number, so I hope you like reading. If you really want I can look into it some more but it would be rather time consuming, and tbh I found much of it to be tedious. As I've said before my own opinion is that readers largely will neither notice nor care if there's some style variation within an article, and if someone adds a well-researched paragraph it shouldn't matter what style it's written in, but obviously that view doesn't have consensus. It's impossible to enforce anyway; 80%+ of articles have few watchers and most casual contributors don't know anything about our MOS and are just going to contribute in whatever variety their browsers spell-checker happens to be set to.

Please identify the issues you see around POV in this article so they can be addressed. (The tag alone is of limited help.) Thanks! CleanCopytalk 09:49, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
blindlynx: I have a serious objection to the question you just posted on "Talk:Robert's_Rules_of_Order". You ask: "Do you genuinely not understand how editions of a book work?"
Your question seems to be along the lines of: this is so obvious how could we possibly descend so far as to explain it to you. Well, it really, honestly, not sarcastically, is not obvious to me. Please, please, explain. Natefin (talk) 07:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Against edit conflicts, I use Firefox. Why? By pushing the "back" arrow I go back to my edit, I select and copy it, quit the page, then I can reinsert it into the talk page through pasting it. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Justin McElroy (journalist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin McElroy (journalist). When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nominationbyvisiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello Blindlynx! I saw that you supported updating the title of this article to Haudenosaunee in a move request last year, and I'm happy to say, we've made the request once again! This time however, those in support for change are currently in the lead.
With that said, the vote closes on Sunday, Nov 27, so there's still time for this to change. i.e. every vote of support matters.
Here's a link to the move request if you'd like to support updating title again: Talk:Iroquois#Requested move 20 November 2022
Thank you! OddlyOaktree (talk) 19:14, 21 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

... for a constructive comment in the Laurence Olivier RfC, to which I referred in my arbcand questions. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:45, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Dorsetonian (talk) 18:51, 4 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I see that you recently moved a page to Barack Obama assassination plot in Denver, claiming it was TO a "Perform requested move, see talk page". However, there was no move request on the talk page, the last move request there was from 10 years ago and was turned down, the last edit of any kind on the talk page was from a year-and-a-half before the page got the name you moved it from. As such, you may at least want to add a comment to the page noting the reasons for the move... which admittedly was WP:POINTy (and yet, not wrong.. well, except in capitalization.) -- Nat Gertler (talk) 16:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please do not add a blank space before a <ref>
tag, as you did in this edit. The ref tag should butt right up against the preceding word or punctuation, no spaces. If it happens to occur at the end of a sentence, then it would be after the final dot, like this.[1] (Same thing goes for {{sfn}} templates, or any other kind of citation template not embedded between ref tags.)
