Thanks for demonstrating your OWNership and censorship after 22 minutes of the published facts that I purposely buried (as BAIT), that's why I came back. People like you are the reason I don't normally 'do' politics, and left mainstream WP in November, 2023, now continuing at the start of my 12th year. I could try you with an/i, but would I expect cronyism. I hope you don't try for RfA. 82.13.47.210 (talk) 00:35, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- I saw the words "censorship" and "ownership" and didn't bother to read any further. The point I was making is it's not a well known nickname. If you disagreed the onus was on you to find further sources to back up the claim, not to start throwing your teddy out the pram. This is Paul (talk) 11:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

One of those strange coincidences
My 1988th edit of 2024 was about an upcoming concert being given by Adele, who coincidentally was born in 1988. Completely unplanned but worth noting. This is Paul (talk) 18:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, could someone help me with this. I wanted to group the references together in a notes section as one reference, but it's not working as I thought it would. Do I need a different ref command? Thanks in advance, This is Paul (talk) 20:01, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- When reusing a named group both a name and the group need to be included (e.g. Special:Diff/1202473682). If you want more help, change the {{help me-helped}} back into a {{help me}}, stop by the Teahouse, or Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

Swiftonomics
Dear Wikipedian. I noticed you created a redirect for Swiftonomics to Cutlural impact of Taylor Swift. I just a few weeks ago started a draft on that topic. What do you think, should I try to work on it or it will be redirected in anyway to the Cultural impact .. page? DraculaParrot (talk) 11:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- There seems to be quite a bit of information on her economic impact, but if you can expand on what's there then it should be worth persevering with the article. I think I created the redirect after watching something on the news about Swiftonomics. It seemed like it would be a searchable term. If you do write the article you can always request the redirect be deleted to make way for it. I think the request is {{db-move}}. This is Paul (talk) 21:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Great and thank you! DraculaParrot (talk) 10:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
