James Arthur Frost

Would it be possible to change the name of the page for "James Arthur Frost" to "James A. Frost?" After considerable research, I found that he often wasn't referred to by his full name on documentation. JoeK2033 (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

No more fun!

Hello, my friend. And I was just starting to enjoy that, lol. Thank you and TK for the reverts. If my computer was just a tad quicker ... I might have been able to help out in real time. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Lol, what made them so mad at you anwyay. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 06:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Must have a thing for Catherine. Usually they continue attacking on the page in question, not a talk page. My computer doesn't refresh that quickly, so if I started to revert, I would have put his mess back on my page, lol. At least I planned out my sarcasm and he was blocked two minutes after I sent the message. Hee. Thanks again for seeing it and responding. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Funny thing, I only reverted what he did because he used profanity the edit before. Then he called me an ass, I guess because I reverted Catherine to Katherine. That's all I did. I enjoy that stuff anyway, I'll stay here for hours going back and forth .. but I'd like to see them get blocked before the sun comes up. ; ) Bringingthewood (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Draftification

Hello, WikiOriginal-9,

Please use a sxript like User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft when you decide to draftify an article. It will inform the page creator about the page move and also tag the main space page for CSD R2 speedy deletion. It takes care of all of the necessary steps and will even start a log for you listing articles you have draftified. I encourage you to try it out. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Question

Can't say I remember the FLC, but it looks like I did support it back in the day. Looking at it from with 2024 standards in mind, I'm not convinced that a bare text list of players would find as much favor at FLC. One thing that came up during the conversation on that page is that the apparent project standard is to have consensus All-Americans in a table, which I thought looked like a nice foundation in the example given. Cite the columns appropriately and clean up the formatting, and I think it could pass muster. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to have been done yet with this list, so it's hard to say it meets FL standards in its present condition. Also, I don't think the bolding for emphasis would go over well. There are worse lists at FL standard, but I wouldn't support this again in its current form. Please note that if you want to start a wider discussion over the page's status, WP:FLRC is available. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:44, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Funny, but not funny.

Question: When does someone realize that they may have a drinking problem? Answer: When they try to find the editor to thank for the edit that they did themselves two days ago. @@. Figured I'd share that, beats talking to myself. See you later. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Lol. I think I've done that before too where I wondered who edited something and saw I did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Not to bother you, but I did read that I typed for someone to chime in with adding a reference. If you ever want to add one, please do. I no longer have the option to preview my edits, so it may take a dozen or so times for me to get it right. Just throwing that out at you. You're doing a lot of NFL pages. Now I understand what you do, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Lol, thanks. Why can't you preview your edits? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:51, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. I went through this messy explanation with Josh and Bagumba, lol. On my 1-year anniversary I lost several options. WP must have changed some things that were once compatible to a relic computer/browser etc. As an IP user I can preview an edit, but when logged in I can't. Btw, I've never edited anything as an IP user since I joined on 4/6/22. Now when I hit preview, it shows the same page, no impending edit. Also, it no longer shows the symbol drop-down box. Even the real-time watchlist updates .. no more, I have to constantly refresh the page. I'm okay with all of it, I'm very thick-headed. I can now hammer a nail in with my skull. Now that's talent! Bringingthewood (talk) 23:05, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure. Did something in your preferences change or maybe something on Wikipedia in general changed? Maybe some at the WP:Help Desk knows? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I think it was a WP change. I'm using Windows Vista and outdated Firefox. So I know when things change, they change. I originally asked this change/problem question on Village pump. Let's just say by the time I was done with the wonderful people worrying about me signing my posts, instead of addressing my problem ... it would have been easier using my 12 gauge 'village' pump to end the agony. I now have to edit a message and type the four tildes, another thing I lost. Used to just hit the reply button. Ahh, forget it, this mess will still be here for another time. You get back to your evening. We'll talk again. Thanks for the talk. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't think the village pump is really for general questions like that. It's for policy or guideline change proposals. Help desk still might be worth a shot. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:49, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm really going to let you go, lol. The V.P. was just to ask did anyone see or hear of a change regarding editors losing some normal functions. I get, you know you should sign your messages. I swear, it's hard for me to bring this up now ... seeing red was an understatement. But I did see somewhere that something was changed or was expiring regarding Wikipedia formats. Being that my computer is old and brittle, I just wanted to know if that was the case. At least after they tried to give me a nervous breakdown, I did find the 'tilde' key. Only took me 16 years to realize I had one, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Actually, there didn't even used to be a "reply" button until a few years ago. I used to have to use the four tildes for every message. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

And I came soooo close to being spoiled! If I lose anything major I'll probably buy all new electronics. I'm not one for change, so I dread the day. Well, I guess I used up my conversation quota for the new year already. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:10, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

lol, I know what you mean. Maybe you could take turns using both the new one and old one? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Ha! At least you have a subtle way of saying .. "Stupid, go buy a new computer", lol. I might as well get back to editing, while I still can. Thanks for your input. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't think you should buy a new computer. I like old stuff better too. But if the old one is causing too many problems, unfortunately, we might not have a choice if we can't figure out how to fix it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Truer words never spoken. Right now I can live with it. But what does the future hold? (Spooky guy waving hands in the air in the background) Bringingthewood (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Battle of Candlestick

For clarification on the Draft:Battle of Candlestick Park name: it's usually called the "Battle of Candlestick" or the "Battle of San Francisco" (edit to add: this one I've seen once only) or the "Roseboro-Marichal incident" or "The Fight". There is no one name for it BUT in old newspaper from at the time and in SABR articles, it is often referred to as the "Battle of Candlestick".

Most notably, the author of "The Fight of their Lives" (about the brawl and the two players at the center) calls it the "battle of Candlestick" a few times. So I guess I should remove the "Park" from the end? Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

On the pages it is mentioned on Wikipedia, the section on it is often called the "Roseboro-Marichal incident", I should note. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Further note: it is also called "Battle of Candlestick" by SABR - see Roseboro's BioProject (there's no official article on the fight itself - not yet, at least).

So what do you think? Without the "Park" in the title or something else? Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

"Battle of Candlestick" only has 6 results on Google. Maybe just "Marichal–Roseboro brawl". Examples in Category:Brawls in team sports. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, that sounds fine for the time being. I'll move the name. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Archil Gelovani review

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Archil_Gelovani_(filmmaker)

Hello! I recently made edits again to a draft article about Archil Gelovani (Georgian film producer). Please take a look.

Also, I would like to clarify the situation regarding "sagnificance". Georgia (Sakartvelo) is a small country with only a few million people who speak their ancient language. This is really important to consider when the term "significance" is applied. Significance can be increased through popularization, but since Georgia is just going through some globalization processes, perhaps some people do not even know where it is, not only who lives there and makes movies. For the citizens of this country themselves, popularizing their culture is a matter of national pride. It's important.

I look forward to publishing this article.

Best regards KirillInternational (talk) 01:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@KirillInternational: I'm not going to double review it but feel free to resubmit it so someone else can take a look. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:20, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of serial killers by number of victims, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 20:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

	The Writer's Barnstar
	I love the work you did on the list of serial killers by number of victims article. not to mention the sheer amount of articles you've created. I'm so excited to get to read through my favorite article again with the edits you made Kleptotoid (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kleptotoid: Wow! Thank you for the compliment Kleptotoid! I'm glad you like it. I have had a hiatus from that list for awhile but I noticed a lot of stuff missing so I went back and re-added stuff. Not sure how no one noticed that user removing over 300K bytes of content in 2019. I expanded it a lot in 2014 as well if you look at the history of my edits there and also the edits of "Vanished user 437dsfj27sk83a9". That was my old account. :) I have also received barnstars for List of serial killers by country and List of serial killers before 1900 years ago, so now your barnstar completes the trifecta. :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

"This is my own work"

I know what This is my own work means, but does it also mean that I can't take some photos from other websites/the web and use them? (I'm looking for tips because I'm creating 2 new drafts) TheWikiGuy2552 (talk) 18:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

No, we can't take other people's images unless they have explicitly released them into the public domain, which is unlikely in most cases. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more info. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@TheWikiGuy2552: If you're referring to book covers though, those qualify for valid non-free use. See the summary and licensing sections at File:Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Diper Överlöde (Jeff Kinney).png for more info. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm referring to stuff like video game cover images/art and stuff like that TheWikiGuy2552 (talk) 19:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Meaning I can use them freely? TheWikiGuy2552 (talk) 19:21, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

You can use the cover once in the article about the game. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:22, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

These people

There was a statement, I guess, being made on the Thibodeaux talk page earlier. If you put together something diplomatic over there to go on, I'll back you on it. Just want to cover the bases with this relentless fan. This is funny, it's like the Myles Garrett guy that had to come here and put the sack rankings in for each year. Lead the season 'just one time' and then we can speak, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't plan on arguing with him but Thibodeaux was only a third alternate, not sure that's notable when like most of the league are alternates of some sort. I've seen seventh alternates reported before. Look at this source. "Jameis Winston is going to Hawaii, yet he was the league's eighth alternate after the six quarterbacks voted in." "The Cincinnati Bengals' Adam Jones, named Tuesday, was the seventh alternate at cornerback."

He didn't add a source anyway. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Well said. Just don't want a source added. lol. I think it's too trivial. Not sure about the higher-ups and their view of a player page etc. I know references are a big thing here. (And just a note: I won't attempt to add a reference being that I can't view my mess first). I try to add what's fact and someone else can add the reference. ........... I need a drink, I forgot what we were talking about. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh yeah, the alternates. I'm with you, you revert, I revert!!! Just changed Colin K. to a former player again. I do love petty torment. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:33, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Request on 18:33:54, 14 January 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Me3456789

• Me3456789 (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Simon Benney (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello. I just wanted to ask for some further information about why you've declined this submission. I am fairly new to Wiki submissions, but I feel the quantity & quantity of coverage referred to in the article's references more than warrant a Wikipedia entry for the individual.

He is a Royal Warrant holder (& that's an interest of mine, so I was going to start working through other Royal Warrant holders across Wikipedia), which means that he personally makes silver & gold items for various members of the British Royal Family. (And this is granted to him personally, not to the business.) He's also been covered in a BBC Documentary and is covered in articles in The Guardian, Bonhams, Faberge and others.

So as I say, once I've done this submission I want to start working through various other Royal Warrant holders creating / updating their articles. This is such an honour (to have been recognised by and supply goods to the Royal Family) that I thought they all 'qualify' for a Wiki entry...so I'm just trying to understand more.

Many thanks for your help & I look forward to hearing back.

Me3456789 (talk) 18:33, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Me3456789: Hmm.

Roger that, thanks for your vigilance. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:27, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Team link

Sorry, I only linked the Bills because they were mentioned a couple of seasons up on the page, not duplicated in the 2023 section. I saw that the Ravens and 49ers were linked in 2023 and also in 2019 and 2020. If that's the case we have our work cut out for us. The other day I saw a team linked in every season, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks, I didn't see you did it. I just noticed people editing it, lol. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I'll leave it off, you did remove it for a reason. Teams are linked everywhere, not that I agree with that. Too many links are ridiculous. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

The Alex Smith page (and your welcome to Wikipedia)

Hi. Unregisters users don't have any easy click-to-thank ability, but thanks again. And I'm fine with the change you made to the season headings at the Smith page (though technically the transaction wasn't part of the 2018 season, even if it happened in 2018, as the year hadn't ended yet with the Super Bowl. But I'm not going to try to become an authority on the minute mincing details of it all.

When I got your thanks I went to your user page and saw (among other things) you've made over 190,000 edits...yet still are not regarded as an "auto-confirmed user". Wow. With the Smith page being restricted to them (and discovering you too are waiting for the above pending edit to be vetted). Though some "fine print" at your User Groups listing indicates you are an "implicit" auto-confirmed user. Which evidently is still not enough to make a simple edit at the Smith page.

I guess a user has to request to become auto-confirmed, and sponsored. I'm amazed with all the bots and whatnots in Wikipedia there is no mechanism to identify putative deserving candidates (by some reasonable set of criteria) and auto-nominate them. Well, offer them an opt-out first, then do it if they're in. None of my business, ultimately, but not just one "wow" but 190,000 of them. All the best. 2601:196:180:DC0:14B3:9DC0:9BD9:C9E5 (talk) 20:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks IP 2601. There aren't very many pages where "pending changes" applies and I don't believe it is necessary for Smith's page. Looks like it was added ten years ago. I went ahead and requested it to be removed. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Nothing but that message. I agree with getting a source, that's why I asked him to stop for now. I often wondered .. if it is the truth, how DO we prove it to Wikipedia? If you told me that you were a current player, should I not believe you? There has to be someone out there who amended their own page, lol. I'll look and see what he's doing. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:34, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Looks like it's this page. John Mohring (linebacker, born 1956). It doesn't hold water if there's no reference. I see his point though, if it is true ... do we ask the higher ups to take a lie detector test? @@ Bringingthewood (talk) 04:42, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Looks like they're just trying to add the player's siblings. That's not crucial of info anyway. Also, did you see their userpage? They copied some of your userboxes. lol :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Not crucial, but I have seen things like that reverted due to not having a reference. You know what I mean. Well, if he is a relative I guess he'll have to keep fighting. LOL, they weren't there the other day. That'll teach me to add players to my watchlist. Thanks for helping out, always appreciated. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:19, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Humor

Yes lol. I will kind of reveal my age here but I made my account around my high school years. When I went on a long hiatus, I grew up some but still had a knack for making some redirects that fit but were kind of funny in my opinion at least. Since then, I have lost a little of the funny side because I have an idea of what is acceptable around here. Thanks for the notice. Made me smile lol.

Earl Keeley

LOL! You're going to take them all back once you see Earl Keeley. I'm used to removing caps, but for some reason I can't get the stats in the infobox the way you had them (NEAT). There would be less of a mess, if I could see what I'm submitting first. You may have to go back to 2014 and work some magic over there. Sorry about that. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I think I just copied that formatting from other CFL infoboxes. Feel free to adjust to non-caps. :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd rather not. It looked fine before (your way) because the stats were in line. For the life of me, I know I put it back to the way it was, but it's not neat any longer. Truly I hate doing so many edits for fixes. Down deep I feel like someone is saying .. he wants NUMBERS, lol. My hang up, but I was like that at Answers.com also. I'll see what I can do. Removing caps seems okay for NFL .. maybe not CFL for me. Well, I took up my mandatory two inches of talk space, I'll let you go. Thanks for the reply. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:28, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, you know I can't stay away. I guessed and I was correct, I saw that adding Canada pushed the lines down. Bad news, I must have done dozens of these additions (several of your page creations) and never noticed it. What's more important, the country or the stat box looking good? Your call, it's your page.

Hello, WikiOriginal-9! I recently shared a draft replacement article for Atlantic Union Bank on behalf of the bank and as part of my work at Beutler Ink. The current entry is problematic for the reasons I've outlined here. I do not edit the main space directly because of my COI, and I am looking for editors to review and implement the proposed draft appropriately.

I've disclosed my COI on the article's Talk page and my profile page. Since you reviewed another company draft of mine not too long ago, I was wondering if you might be willing to take a look at the draft. Thanks for your consideration! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Quick question

I just added a comma after a team on the Darius Jackson page and then saw that you added the Raiders. Never good with all types of punctuation. Is it a, b, c, and d? Or a, b, c and d? Didn't want to edit pretending I knew the whole score. :/ Bringingthewood (talk) 02:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Editor of the Week nominations

FYI. You submitted Y10's nomination on October 26th. Two days later if was added to the end of 9 editor queue at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week/Accepted nominations. Since it was the holiday season it took 3 months to work its way to the front. Nothing unusual there. I added "The vast realm of athletic articles would be drastically diminished without his hard work." and the banner or, as you call it, the box. Again nothing unusual. I have worked with Yankees10 on MLB articles over the years. Almost every nomination for Editor of the Week has a second or third that adds comments which I integrate into the original nomination to add flavor.

User:Kephir/gadgets/rater

I noticed you were using this script. Would you consider switching to Evad's updated version? You've been adding articles to maintenance categories because the script hasn't been updated for WP:PIQA. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:35, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Qwerfjkl, I actually have both installed but I kind of like Kephir's better. Would it be simple for someone to update it? I'll use Evad's in the meantime though. I like the presentation of Kephir's better and Evad's is a tad slower. On Evad's you have to hover over "More" to get to Rater instead of Rater just being there. Also, Evad's has a loading screen. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

My thoughts

Hello. I don't think we have ever spoken before, but I read your question on Liz's talk page. You are not the only one who is concerned about this. I have been aware of it for some time. My assessment is that many of the redirected articles satisfy GNG or NGEO or both; and that in many of these cases, such as articles on towns and villages, and on broad topics on a national level or of widespread interest, or on other topics that normally attract a lot of coverage, and which do in fact satisfy satisfy GNG or NGEO, it should be obvious that they are notable. If Tooncool64 redirects those articles again without consensus, he will be edit warring. I myself will try to add references if and when I have time. Best regards. James500 (talk) 21:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

@James500: Hi James500, thanks for your thoughts. Do you think the issue should be brought up at the drive's talk page? I don 't think the purpose of the drive is to serve as a mass AfD. I didn't revert all the redirects. I stopped after awhile. There's only so much time in the day... ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

I am not sure what that would achieve. If edit warring takes place, the appropriate venue would be WP:ANEW. James500 (talk) 00:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the issue is. I was criticized before for PROD/AFD articles without considering the alternatives, such as merge/redirection, which is a completely fair critique. At the time, as I am now in many ways, ignorant of WP policy on the matter. In all of the cases of my recent redirections, which are a minority, as i have been citing a lot more articles proper, it is not without thought. At least two of the redirections that were reverted were redirects to the same page, just the redirect target had sources. I am not redirecting without thought, and once again it is preferred by policy, per WP:ATD-R, for redirection over deletion where I am unable to find sources. Redirects can be undone at any time. In any case, the only re-reversion I did was for Kretha Yukam, where the target page, Ayyavazhi mythology , literally had the same content word-for-word. I think a redirection in this case is extremely fair. If you want to call that edit warring, by all means, bring me to ANI. Redgards, Tooncool64 (talk) 23:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

I am not bothered by the redirection of Kretha Yukam on grounds of duplication of content. I am concerned by the redirection of notable topics where there was no duplication of content. The edit warring noticeboard is WP:ANEW, not ANI. James500 (talk) 00:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Would you be able to point to the redirects that concerned you? I want to learn where I may have overstepped. Tooncool64 (talk) 00:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Your latest WP:BLAR, Muirabad/Myorabad is an example of a geographical article that obviously satisfies NGEO and GNG. Even the most cursory search of Google Books, Google News and the Internet Archive in English would have confirmed that Myorabad is a local government ward, a village and that it is in the 2001 census. Even the most cursory search of Google Books in English would have confirmed that Muirabad was a village and that it satisfies GNG. And some attempt should have been made to search for म्योराबाद, which comes up immediately in Google, even on a search for Muirabad/Myorabad. James500 (talk) 01:56, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Can't believe this

How do we keep meeting like this? Did you mind that I removed 'NCAA' from the FCS national champion line in the infobox? I see dozens with just FCS or BCS national champion. After I did a handful, I checked the history and there you were, lol. Didn't think you did them in 2017. It's up to you, I was just shortening up the line, nothing personal. The link is still the same, just not the NCAA specification that's visible. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:04, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure NCAA is necessary there either. That looks like alphabet soup. I looked at Carson Wentz from 2017 and it has NCAA so I was probably just copying that. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 13:11, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm trying to see who does what, and when I like them I stop and ask, lol. Being that NCAA was done seven years ago, I feel good about the edits today. I really appreciate the response. Well, let me see what I can go and mess up. Hee. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, WO-9! I wanted to thank you over here, being that you're the only stalker I like, lol. Watt may have lost out on the DPOY, but he won me a barnstar ... go figure. Of course you know that no good deed goes unpunished, so a question is coming.

Yeah I know, people have been debating "D" vs "d" on here for years. It used to be "d" for a few years. I'm used to both. In regards to your question, that is just because no one has gotten to it yet. If you want to change it, go ahead. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Canadian and American football categories

Hi, I wanted to let you know why I reverted the addition of the Canadian and American football categories just now. If an article is already in the subcategory for a province or state, it should not be added to the main category per WP:SUBCAT. In fact, I've been working to sort the articles in the main category into the appropriate subcategories. Thanks--15:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC) User:Namiba 15:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Namiba:, I was going to make Category:American players of Canadian football and Category:Canadian players of American football non-diffusing. I thought there was some utility to having them in the main cats too. They didn't use to be broken up by state but I don't really care that much. I actually started out earlier by emptying American players of Canadian football but I changed my mind and decided to tag it as non-diffusing. There are still 1,500 articles in that cat, if you're interested in helping me empty it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Just about to say

I was just about to explain why I didn't add Canada to some pages, it's not due to laziness, it's the stat section. About a month ago we spoke about when the country goes over the line the stats move around at the bottom, one line to two. Now I added U.S. and you can see the difference the overlap made. Please check out the revision here Reggie White Jr. and let me know what you think. Seems trivial, but the page creator is still very active, no need to make a mess. A creator, like yourself, might have a voodoo doll at home with my face on it. Thanks. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Just saw this one I did earlier Tyrice Beverette. Not as neat when it goes over the line. But why are we adding the country in the first place then? AHHH! Bringingthewood (talk) 04:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I see what you mean. The CFL infobox isn't the best, lol. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:42, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

You read my mind. I could leave it at one line so the stats have one line at the bottom. Some players won't have a country. Someone else, besides the creator, might not have even noticed the change. Because if you read the stat, you know a number really isn't missing. You think maybe stick with one line? Bringingthewood (talk) 04:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Whatever you think is best. Your preview button could come in handy right now. lol ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:54, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I think the country is important, but someone would probably think - Receiving:4 Touchdowns: blank. Oh yeah, tell me about it. I'll go with one line for now, keep it neat. Hope the creator appreciates this, lol. See, that's why you got a beer, I can drive someone to drink! Thanks for taking a look and your input. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:06, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Country questions

Hello, WO-9. Do you mind that I remove the country where applicable? I ask only because if you create a page with it .. who am I to remove it? Also, is it a rule to do this or just a football thing. I noticed some celebrities, politicians and even MLB have many countries listed. I leave MLB alone not to annoy Yankees10, lol. Besides, the MLB pages are some of the better 'uniformed' pages and infoboxes that I've seen. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:50, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

I do remove American Samoa also, even though it's an unincorporated territory like Puerto Rico, if the city has it's own page .. hell, why not? Boredom creates enemies, that's why I asked. :) Thanks for responding. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Too neat!

It's too clean over here. I'll take care of that. Just a question regarding the 'restore version' when reverting. One thing led to another and I saw an editor receive this message from another editor: (use the restore version option instead of reverting every single unsourced edit). I myself would revert one after another, I thought that someone needed rollback rights in order to do this. Am I correct with that or can anyone restore? Bringingthewood (talk) 03:42, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

You can go to a previous version of a page in an article's history and save that one. Also, you could apply for rollback if you want. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 03:50, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the slop, lol. I saw the first thing you mentioned, I could only try that with maybe something I did earlier. Also I read up on rollback. Not big on asking for that .. due to future headaches I could cause by accident. I feel bad when someone reverts vandalism back to my version, but I can't do it for them in return. Looks like I'm doing it on purpose. Guess I'm just surprised that I never received a message like the one up there, lol. Thanks for your help. You can delete this now! :) Bringingthewood (talk) 03:56, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bringingthewood You can use WP:TWINKLE; it has rollback-like features (and lots of other useful tools) without needing rollback rights. The big issue with the real rollback is that it doesn't allow an edit summary, but that should be reserved for things like obvious vandalism, not just any edit you disagree with. However, I'm not sure if your setup is going to be compatible for Twinkle—probably requires some version of javascript or another. It's just a preference click, so should be easy for you to trial. —Bagumba (talk) 04:57, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, @Bagumba. Well, you did shed some light on things. I thought of you when I read about rollback .. and I pictured you saying, 'Oh God No!' So I decided to scratch that idea. I see the Twinkle thing here and there and you're right, I have nothing updated nor can I update anything on this computer. But I can use that as an excuse when someone says stop doing things one at a time. Sorry WO-9, looks like the slop goes on. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:04, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Not sure if you want to stop for the night and see what will happen next. I left another message on Muboshgu's talk page. This isn't an edit war, it's an insane editor. If I did this I would have been blocked already. Terrible feeling to have our hands tied, we're in the right and need help on this page. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

It's WP:LTA and protections and blocks don't do much to stop it over the long term. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi WO-9. Ohnoitsjamie blocked the three IP's for 2 years. I guess we can wait for another IP to show up, but this is all I wanted for now. It's the principle. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:37, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks BTW. That's a pretty long block for an IP, lol. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:41, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, more than I expected. I was holding out hope, lol. Plus ONIJ said we could ping if they return. Not that I want that to happen by any means. Maybe it'll be a good week. :/ Bringingthewood (talk) 22:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Tony Collier

Hi there, WO. I saw your name in the history here Template:82nd_Grey_Cup. Do you think the link for Tony Collier is correct? I was going to make it a red link. Can't find much for him on Google with the BC Lions. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Doesn't look like that guy was even alive. Go ahead and change it to something else. Nice catch. Thank you, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 03:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Better keep laughing, I just realized that it won't turn red. Being that there IS a Tony Collier on Wikipedia. Now I just hope someone doesn't come by to link it again ... then we're back to square one. At least you're my witness, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

You're like a good vandal. I can't believe that I stumbled upon a baseball category yesterday .. lucky me (sarcasm) there are hundreds with no U.S. Thanks for giving me a new place to look for them, I was getting tired already.

Recent Biography Page Edits

Hi WikiOriginal-9! I see you undid a few of my recent edits on pages you have also contributed to, specifically John James (antiquary), John James Park & John Lyon (antiquary).

I added a copy paste template to those pages as it appears the article text was either wholly or substantially copied directly from the source. Some of the language used could be modernised, acronyms could be fully written out for ease of reading, or the article more broadly could be rewritten to make it more consistent with the tone and style of other articles.

I am not an experienced Wikipedia contributor, so any further explanation or feedback you have regarding this would be most welcome! Scotty2083 (talk) 15:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Scotty2083, I just removed where you tagged them as copyight violations. The copy-paste template has wording that suggests they're copyvios. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello WikiOriginal-9,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Draft:Tina Alster

I have submitted a draft on behalf of Tina Alster. I am not connected to the person who originally submitted the draft. It is believed to be someone who may know her but I am the only one who has been paid to submit the draft. I have cleaned up everything you noted and hope you can consider it for an article in Wikipedia. Thanks. TW34XNG (talk) 02:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Reference work

Hey, I saw your messages. I can assist with that but not a full scale workload. I personally am not a fan of ReFill 2. I like ProveIt more but that is more on a "one reference at a time" scale to make sure the information is correct. ReFill 2 serves a good purpose but it is more of a bandaid on some references that a full fix in my opinion. Red Director (talk) 14:20, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

List of gridiron football players who became professional wrestlers

The "List of gridiron football players who became professional wrestlers" article is looking good. Can I suggest though that you might want to consider displaying some or all of the information in table format, e.g. the below. This would make it easier to search the data and would allow more info to be displayed. Just an idea! McPhail (talk) 15:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Blown insulation(fibres, fluff, beads, granules E.T.C.) Into cavity walls must NOT be done, as it immediately bridges the cavity. Injecting foam into the cavity walls must NOT be done, as it stops the walls breathing, causing drastic condensation saturation of the inner walls inside the building.

Any blown insulation(fibres, fluff, beads, granules E.T.C.) Into cavity walls must NOT be done, as it immediately bridges the cavity. Injecting foam into the cavity walls must NOT be done, as it stops the walls breathing, causing drastic condensation saturation of the inner walls inside the building. HOUSES THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT UP CAN NOT HAVE CAVITY WALL INSULATION ADDED, You would have to take the outer walls down to install the cavity wall insulation batts. Cavity walls that are already built up can NOT have cavity wall insulation added. Cavity walls must NOT be bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity) or else moisture will transmit by capillary action, from the damp outer walls through the touching bridging insulation into the inner walls, making it damp inside the building. Remember bricks, blocks, mortar, concrete are porous, they absorb water completely. Even if there were no microcracks in the mortar joints or breaches in the outer wall, the outer wall still gets completely soaked anyway, all the way through to the inside of the cavity. Cavity wall insulation must NOT touch the outer walls inside the cavity. There are ongoing legal claims cases against damp caused by insulation bridged cavity walls. MANY BUILDERS TODAY ARE ILLEGALLY BRIDGING CAVITY WALLS WITH INSULATION.

Cavity wall insulation batts can only be installed from the start of construction of the cavity walls.

IF CAVITY WALL INSULATION BATTS ARE TO BE INSTALLED, there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the outer walls and the face of the cavity wall insulation batts inside the cavity, this includes a substantial air space gap in-between the face of the cavity wall insulation batts and the cavity wall-tie drip-point(which must point downwards in the centre of the entire cavity). Cavity wall-ties are laid with a slight downward slope, across the LEVEL mortar joints from the inner to the outer walls. The air space gap is always substantially greater than half the width of the entire cavity.

Ask N.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK teachers in person for PROOF of all this and further exacting parameters,

they are the authority on brickwork/construction. S.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK in Scotland. 78.150.97.129 (talk) 07:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
