Hope you are feeling better

I somehow missed this post of yours, its famine-related observations but more so the news of your being unwell. I hope you are feeling better. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 00:37, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Fowler&fowler - The worst of the illness seems to have passed, I should be on the recovery side. I do have quite the headache today, but I suspect that's more to do with four days of barely any sleep followed by a day of too much of it. I will have to remain at home for a while longer though. Thanks for inquiring. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, please take care. We live in a dicey world. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 13:48, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Auld Lang Syne

Hey. I seem to be editing again, though I am a pale sliver of my former gryphon self. I hope again that you can forgive me for bailing out after trying to play rainmaker a couple years ago. The gray weight on my soul at that time was disturbing my real life. Sorry. § Lingzhi (talk) 08:35, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

This is pro forma, I mentioned you in a filing but you aren't accused of any wrongdoing. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:20, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Cleopatra hieroglyphics (again...)

Hi Mr rnddude, I hope you're well. If you recall, you kindly converted Cleopatra's hieroglyphic name(s) to work inside the article's infobox. Alas, the context has changed again; since Cleopatra is now using {{Infobox pharaoh}}, the previous changes cannot be "shown" by the drop down section. If you have a second–could you possibly adjust the hieroglyphic code to match the infobox's parameters? The template documentation explains what these are. Aza24 (talk) 06:29, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Aza24 - I've re-integrated the horus and nomen into the infobox. There are a few stylistic differences that are partially the cause of the infobox itself and partially the standard styling across other articles. The transliteration template I used previously appears incompatible with this infobox, so that's been removed. I modelled the entries in a similar fashion to that at Sobekneferu, though without using the special feminine prefixes (e.g. daughter of Ra rather than son of Ra). Let me know if there are any issues. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:06, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Looks great! Thanks for your effort. Best – Aza24 (talk) 19:23, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Query about IP blocks

ST47, whilst trying to edit today I've been receiving the message 'This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia ... because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN'. I mean... my username also hides my IP address so I'm unclear as to why this would be an issue? I'm currently travelling, and while I was able to edit yesterday, I cannot today. What do? Mr rnddude (talk) 18:56, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Pinging you because you're the admin that has blocked the IP range, just for clarity's sake. Mr rnddude (talk) 18:57, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:53, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt - I am, as ever, fashionably late. Sorry, I've been travelling in Europe and am spending very little time on Wikipedia. Thanks as always for the reminder. Hope you're well. Regards, Mr rnddude (talk) 20:48, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Burebista

About the information I uploaded on the page, the information was from the teachers I had and some books I read, I can understand if you think the informations were not accurate, but I want to know the reason for the map to be changed Portasa Cristian (talk) 12:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

The map you changed was an old map created by me, the new map I made was more accurate, it was the same thing only few things on the map changed like rivers, some useless things removed and fixed some grammar from "Calatis" to "Callatis" Portasa Cristian (talk) 12:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

here is the link with the fixed map if you need it. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Dacian+kingdom&title=Special:MediaSearch&type=image Portasa Cristian (talk) 12:56, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

oops, I apologize for the wrong link, here is the link of the map : https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dacian_Kingdom_under_Burebista_Remastered.png

sorry for the plenty of messages, I'm busy and I don't have time to write a long message Portasa Cristian (talk) 13:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

in this case I will change the map into the remastered one, I hope you won't mind since the map are almost indentical Portasa Cristian (talk) 13:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

And I will also add the map of the Dacians invasion of Taurisci and boii since it's essential to the map. and with that, this will be my last edit on the page, I won't add any further information, only the maps if it's needed, since im making lots of maps not only Dacians. Portasa Cristian (talk) 14:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Simply put, claims made within the article need to be verifiably sourced from published reliable sources. Mr rnddude (talk) 00:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
