Was or were?

Hello GoodDay. Your edits where you changed "was" to "were" are incorrect. See this talk. Thanks, Maiō T. (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I see. GoodDay (talk) 19:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

use of quotation marks

Hi - I don't think we've ever interacted before, but I saw your appeal at WP:AE, and your use of single quotation marks in this comment around the words "wrong" and "pronoun" made me raise an eyebrow, to say the least. I see from this talkpage you use these quotation marks relatively frequently, so I'm hoping that you don't mean anything by it, but this looks uncomfortably close to scare quotes. Given that one of the reasons for the TBAN you are appealing was for misgendering an editor, can I suggest you be careful not to give this impression in future? Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:49, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

They're neither quotation marks or scare quotes. But, I'll make the effort to not use them, in future. GoodDay (talk) 21:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

AE appeal

Per the result of your appeal at AE ([1]), the topic ban from the GENSEX topic area which applied to you is lifted. Please use appropriate care when you return to editing in this area. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Appreciated & indeed I will. GoodDay (talk) 04:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

@The Kip: you may have to rescind that barnstar, as it might be seen as an attack on another editor. GoodDay (talk) 00:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I’ll do so, just figured I’d let you know your efforts are appreciated. The Kip 00:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I am curious, though - at what point does the consistent end-arounding of RMs and disregard of consensus/lack thereof become something we can take to ANI? The Kip 02:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

WP:HOCKEY's reaction (unless views have changed in the last twelve months) to the unilateral page moves, may give an answer. GoodDay (talk) 02:53, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

There’s also quite a lot of textual backup that this has been a long term behavioral problem. There’s a lot more beyond just this one; he’s had a long track record of disruptive editing resulting in warnings, but never quite to the extent of a ban as it’s never been framed as a long term problem. My only concern with the WP:HOCKEY discussion is that there may be certain users who don’t contribute to the project or in the project area that will dominate the discussion/RM because “sports editors dumb,” as per what happened at the NFL RfC. The Kip 02:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

It's not in my nature to report any editor to WP:ANI, of whom I've been involved with in content disputes. Is Dicklyon continuing to be disruptive in the area of page moving? I'll leave that judgement in the hands of the community. GoodDay (talk) 03:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Understandable. If any RMs go against him and he attempts to go ahead with pagemoves anyways, I’ll try to build a case. The Kip 03:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Cornwall confusion

Howdy @Sirfurboy and A.D.Hope:, is it possible to have the RFC & the WikiProject discussion merged some way? It rather confusing, to have both going on concurrently. GoodDay (talk) 23:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I have not started an RfC at this point. The Wikiproject discussion is exploring how an RfC might look that rationalises what is currently a very selective guideline change (i.e to English extant ceremonial counties only). As per my answer to you on the RfC, this is incongruous, as we are talking about removing a flag from Cornwall on the basis of that guideline whilst retaining flags on other county articles, such as Yorkshire and Sussex simply because those counties no longer exist. I expect Cornwall will retain its flag per this RfC in any case. Then the RfC question I would start would seek to adjust the situation as appropriate. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 00:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Either we remove all flags or we add all flags. GoodDay (talk) 00:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Infobox purpose

Thanks for contributing, but I'm not sure neutral is a valid option which is why I didn't have it listed. It's a policy question. Those links are either allowed or prohibited. That's the root of the question. Nemov (talk) 04:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@Nemov: - I don't have preference for either version. I'll let ya'll work it out among yourselves. You may collapse/box my 'vote', if you wish.GoodDay (talk) 04:54, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

NHL history split

Everyone, including me is agreeable to split the history of the NHL from 1992–present to 1992–2017 and 2017–present. Are you ready to split? Please. 2601:40A:8400:2250:AC49:775D:29D6:8498 (talk) 21:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Honors for Military Officers

I was looking at George C. Marshall's Wikipedia page, but I noticed that his honors like OBE was removed, which then I checked that it was you that removed, and I was wondering when the official change that they were no longer being placed happened? NewDealChief (talk) 01:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@NewDealChief: Difficult to remember when/where. But I do know a consensus was reached, to not add military ranks or honors to American bios. GoodDay (talk) 02:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for learning (even if the hard way) how to help maintain the listings at the top of WT:MOSCAPS. Dicklyon (talk) 05:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: having studied the last few RM results on NHL related pages. I suspect there'll be little opposition this time around, at NHL Entry Draft & related pages. Not certain though, about Stanley Cup Finals & related pages. GoodDay (talk) 10:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Hard to guess. I'm surprised some of the obscure drafts didn't go through more easily (the ones that are relisted). Dicklyon (talk) 10:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

It's a head scratcher. GoodDay (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: I made a neutral statement at the CFL Draft multi-RM. As I'm sorta one, who gets followed around. It might bring more input to the RM-in-question. GoodDay (talk) 22:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Update request

Hello, GoodDay.

Can you update Template:44th Canada HoC standings change?

Daniel Blaikie resigned on 31 March 2024 as Member of Parliament and the number of NDP members fell to 24.

Thank you in advance. 31.200.16.28 (talk) 01:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@31.200.16.28: I'll try. GoodDay (talk) 01:14, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the update. 31.200.16.28 (talk) 01:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

No prob. GoodDay (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
