About my removing your comment at ANI
[edit]To be clear, there was no possible way you could have know that user was trolling. Their M.O. is to vandalize a page with multiple accounts, then beg an admin to protect it indefinitely. I suppose it give them a sense of power or something. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 23:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

John Wick sources
[edit]Hi Corvette, thanks for your support over at John Wick. About the sources, are there any that stand out that need replacing? I'm normally pretty strict but if there is anything glaring I haven't noticed I will try to replace them. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 17:18, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- Scavenging through all the sources, it looks like the sources are all fine, but can you double check the source from Insider Inc.? [1] I can't currently do it right now, but looking at these things, I'm not so sure about Insider. Can you maybe check it when you have the chance?
