I swear this is going somewhere

The Original Barnstar
I swear this story is going somewhere: We buried my uncle this summer. When cleaning out his house and the two-story house he had built in his backyard (after filling his own home floor-to-ceiling with stuff), we found an encyclopedia/atlas well over a hundred years old. I was showing the out-of-date medical articles to a friend of mine, and he brought up how he wrote a Wikipedia article decades ago about a dope band, googled the band and was pleased and surprised to find the article was still there, still contained some of his writing, and had been expanded. He said that he received much assistance in navigating the complexities of the encyclopedia from an OG, and upon looking at the history, I see that OG is you. So thanks!

Evading IP vandal at 'Iran at the 2024 Summer Olympics'

The same previously-banned IP is persistently continuing their personal attacks towards me in Romanized Persian on both my talk page and Talk:Iran at the 2024 Summer Olympics as 77.237.190.180, 77.237.191.125, 77.237.185.111, and 77.237.186.182, while also continuing to vandalize the article.

KKB Plot

I didn't just copy amd paste, I was the one who wrote it in the first place after editing it months ago. Readers and other users didn't have a problem with it for months let the plot remain with a few changes every now and then. Also, removing the whole plot is not your job either, yet here you are. Thank you. Grammer Plot (talk) 22:37, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

  • Would you mind explaining, Grammer Plot, under which account you made those edits? Thanks. Also, I just nominated an article for deletion that had been crappy for fifteen years, so that argument of "didn't have a problem with" doesn't really mean much. Drmies (talk) 23:09, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
    • I made an edit under a different account, Meigh 2005, which I created 2 years ago. Instead of nominating articles to be removed because it is "crappy" why don't you fix it and make it to your liking so that you don't inconvenience others who are okay with a "crappy" article ? Or better yet, leave it. You're the second person to remove the main section of a page just because the details are excessive. It's really selfish, stupid and ignorant. Stop. Grammer Plot (talk) 19:55, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
      • I'm sure you don't mind that I blocked that other account--it's for security reasons, so it can't be usurped. The things you are saying here are not just uncollegial but also show a bit of a disconnect with what we are trying to do here. Drmies (talk) 21:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
        • i really don't give two hoots about you blocking that other account and for what reason. i literally – couldn't care less. all i ask of you is to stop removing plots, especially if they are well detailed with time tracks throughout the film or series. Grammer Plot (talk) 15:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
          • You really should have a look at Wikipedia:Civility. Yelling at me is not going to convince me that that poorly written and totally excessive plot is of any encyclopedic value at all. Drmies (talk) 15:54, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
            • please don't refer to wikipedia's code of conduct to try and threaten me. it's not going to work. i'm not yelling at you. i'm just telling you that what you're doing is selfish and ignorant. if you really find articles bogus then why don't you fix it ? removing the whole thing is unnecessary and honestly, frustrating. and please don't tell me that it's not your job. aree of course not, yaar. it's not mine either, yet here i am, correcting spelling, grammar and other errors that need fixing. thank you, have a nice day. Grammer Plot (talk) 16:54, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
              • I'm not responsible for fixing your copyright violations, or your poor writing--either one. You did not fix any of the things in that plot summary; you simply edit warred over it. If you're going to correct "spelling, grammar and other errors", start with what you wrote here. Now go away: I do not want you in my happy place again. Drmies (talk) 17:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
          • And I see now that it was removed as a copyvio--User:Nthep, thank you: I had looked but couldn't easily navigate IMDB, I think, or maybe I started looking and then became otherwise occupied. Drmies (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Long hold

You placed an unblock request at User talk:Rootbeerlc on hold on 4 June. The ensuing discussion didn't come to any clear conclusion, but maybe it's time to take it off hold, one way or the other. JBW (talk) 21:47, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

John McEntee

Hi - why was the edit for John McEntee reversed? There are multiple sources within the article itself that detail that he is a known conspiracy theorist, so why would that not be important to include on his description? This reeks of political favoritism. Jimmyjohn117 (talk) 20:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Possible sock?

I have a suspicion, based both on the username and the edit history, that editor Fix.It [1] is a sock of blocked editor Fix.bkl [2]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anwegmann (talk • contribs)

And 3...2...1...they're at it again with Fix.ab ([3]). Anwegmann (talk) 22:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Discussion regarding Jill Stein's biography

I notice that you have recently taken issue with User:DMH223344's edits to Jill Stein, particularly with regard to the ample use of primary sources to deliver laudatory information. There is a disagreement between them and me, and I don't want to begin a revert war. If you take interest in helping to reach a concensus — Talk:Jill Stein § "Political positions" section seems like self-promotion. Thanks! Y. Dongchen (talk) 02:27, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

I was just about to bring Draft:James Holzier to MFD for the BLP issues when you deleted the draft. I appreciate the diligence. JeffSpaceman (talk) 02:13, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

  • JeffSpaceman, no, thank you--I saw your edit go by and was reminded of the craziness. Then I looked at the French and Italian source (the latter actually mentions him, so it's not utter bullshit, but it does not verify the claims), and decided to nuke it. Lo and behold, I go to their talk page and find them blocked already by the ever-alert Cullen328. One day we'll learn what the "328" part is. Drmies (talk) 02:15, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Drmies please do not post this shocking revelation on the Twitter/X cesspool. My 15 year old cover is now completely blown. "Cullen" is a tribute to my grandfather who was born in 1881 and died a year or so before I was born. We share middle names. His casual day-to-day name with his buddies was "Cullen". Nobody calls me Cullen off Wikipedia, though I use and enjoy that name here. As for "328", I regret that I was stupid enough to impulsively include my birth date in my username back in 2009, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Yes, my admirers worldwide send me inedible virtual images of birthday cakes every March 28. Please fly to California with your delightful wife and splendid children next March, and I will give all of you a highly personalized tour. Just buy me a birthday cake, if you can afford it. Were you aware that my son and granddaughter visited the Netherlands recently? Turns out that is the preferred name as opposed to "Holland", which English speakers have been using for pretty much forever. Times can change. Cullen328 (talk) 05:41, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
      • Haha thanks for clearing that up. At home, our preferred name for you is Jim, and yes, "the Netherlands" is preferred. Strictly speaking I'm (also) from Holland, and more precisely, I'm West-Frisian, which is not a subset of Frisian. ;) I hope your family members had a good time. As for the cesspool: I think I have one follower, someone I don't know but who was posting the right things. I get followed regularly by New Jersey boys who live in their mom's basement and pretend to be beautiful women, and I block those immediately, so your secret is safe with me.

Boniface award

I was looking up an author, and came across Association of Classical Christian Schools#Boniface Award. I wondered if it were something of which you were aware. LadyofShalott 19:33, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

MassimoGiordano1970

On reflection, I think this is probably the moment for us to stop replying to this guy. Either he calms down and follows the repeated instructions he's been given, or he doesn't and he stays blocked. Either way... AntiDionysius (talk) 00:46, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

September music

story · music · places

Today's story has 3 composers, I couldn't decide for the one on the Main page or the one who didn't make it on his bicentenary, so took both, and the pic has a third. Listen if you have a bit of time. The music, played by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra in Germany in April 2022, impressed me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:28, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Three stories related to today in memory, 11 September, 20 July and 20 June, the latter piece of art also pictured on the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:46, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

My story today is about a man who played jazz when it was banned by the Nazis, - you can listen to how they played it later. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for help with my talk page! - My story today features a pic I took from my position in the choir, I can also offer varied delightful music, some from Venice, also with pics I took, - note the rose in the clarinet ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Possible sock

Hi, the person you reverted here is most likely a sock of User:Bikrampuri. They have this habit of POV pushing Bangladeshi/Bengali Muslim as you can see here, here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Your recent work

Hello. Thank you for your copy edits on Neil Hartigan. I noticed that there is some grammatical errors that could lead to factual misinterpretations. For example, Pelosi was a friend per source not a classmate, he oversaw Freddie Mac not Fannie Mae per source, and it is Loyola University Chicago not just Loyola University (which is a common college name). Thanks. SevenUp7up (talk) 18:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
