Hello Mlpearc Phone. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Giant pelvis, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: blatantly not a hoax (probably needs merging with Justo major pelvis however). Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey so, over at the ANI there was a discussion about Keditz and his disruptive editing. One specific example was him changing Post Malone’s Rap Rock genre to Rock when the source stated the former. He has done the exact same thing on XXXTENTACION before it got locked further. If you check right now, the source for rock states “hip hop and alternative rock” (these were my sources which he reverted), and R&B’s source states “alternative R&B”. Plus he reverted other strongly sourced genres (such as Soundcloud rap w/ Vulture. I just was wondering could you revert it back to my genre structure, nitpicking if you feel the genre isnt as strong as i sought for it to be. Thanks in advance EveryonesFAVORITE*toy (talk) 19:47, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
What did I do to David Attenborough that warranted the change? Braveberet (talk) 04:40, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
I have had a warning about my edits regarding Kirsty Gallagher’s page. All I’ve done is change her nationality from Scottish to British (she also identifies as English, making my edit a change for the better). Either way, she is British. What’s the big deal? Could you reverse my warning please, as I haven’t violated Wikipedia in any way. Thank you in advance Scf1985 (talk) 20:45, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
I also believe it’s more violating referring her to Scottish/British, a turn of phrase which I don’t believe is within Wikipedia rules. Observe my actual edits before acting Scf1985 (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Still waiting for my apology for giving me an undeserved warning for editing Kirsty Gallacher’s page for the better, big man Scf1985 (talk) 17:08, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Still waiting for my apology, keyboard warrior Scf1985 (talk) 15:37, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Maybe in future think before you give me an unsolicited warning then. GOOD DAY SIR/MAM Scf1985 (talk) 17:57, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
It’s a stream of logic that I’m citing.
1) Subtitle of article states he’s a Taiwanese-American pop singer. 2) Parents are from Taiwan, and he was born in the US, hence logically that would make him a Taiwanese-American.
Unless this article is to contradict itself, my edit was correct in the first place. WuKanYun (talk) 06:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
I have provided a citation for my claims. I would have provided two more, but Wikipedia does not allow redundant citations. Citing: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3593339 — Preceding unsigned comment added by WuKanYun (talk • contribs) 07:16, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Do you realize that you have an "only warning" to an editor who was removing vandalism while restoring said vandalism yourself? -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:13, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Regarding your request for a range block, unfortunately I'm not able to do that. Only a checkuser has the ability to find the IP addresses used by registered users. If you want, you can file a report at WP:SPI listing the socks involved and a checkuser may be able to determine a range block that might be effective.

Could you move File:Poster for a movie.jpg to File:All Power to the People.jpg? I uploaded the file, but accidentally placed the description information in the field for the name of the file. The file will be used at All Power to the People. Mitchumch (talk) 19:10, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand the summary edit for image size. Could you elaborate on the rationale? Mitchumch (talk) 19:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the warning, we forgot to add the source link. We’ll do better going forward. Can you remove your threat from our page? Ludwigsalvator (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Understood! Two sides of the same coin, in our book, but we understand the delicate distinction you're making. We'll go ahead and remove it. Please check out our latest contribution, and you can see we made many source citations. Finally, "we" is our preferred pronoun. Thanks again for your friendly help here to this novice Wikipedier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludwigsalvator (talk • contribs) 15:44, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi, you typed 'done' which I assume you meant that you moved Sarileru_Nikevvaru to Sarileru Neekevvaru as I requested. But i see that the file is still renamed as Sarileru Nikevvaru. Is the rename request rejected or did you forget to rename it? Josalm64rc (talk) 20:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for using the common-terms script. I also tripped up on Thomas Edison earlier in the week, causing irritation in one of its regular editors. It was a rare instance where city and US state need to be linked unambiguously. The script occasionally has to get things wrong: Milan, Ohio will link to the Italian city. It can be piped, or left with both items linked together. Are you interested in running a composite script, which does not only common terms but fixes the hyphen–dash problem (widespread) and date formats? Let me know if you are.

What I added about Kurt's cousin claiming he was diagnosed with Bipolar was mentioned in the source already there. Neptune23456 (talk) 19:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
What does "Unsourced request" mean in this context? The person who asked the question is probably not familiar with how Wikipedia work. The helpdesk volunteers generally are; and they can use Google to find sources. Poveglia (talk) 21:44, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, FlightTime, I restored an IP user's edits that you had reverted. You are invited to discuss you concerns with their contributions at Talk:Courtney Cox Cole. I offered some advice to that user at Wikipedia:Help desk#Talking to brick walls? —Pelagic (talk) 13:13, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Why would you revert my edit? What’s to discuss? Why didn’t you start a discussion about undoing a useful edit?
The one review linked on that page doesn’t even work.
You made nothing better, only worse. Chertel (talk) 02:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
I forgot to add your undo has convinced me to never post or update anything on Wikipedia ever again Chertel (talk) 02:26, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
@FlightTime Phone: Thanks for reverting the rock opera genre. My objection to it is not the source, though, it's the fact that rock opera isn't an actual music genre, it's a type of album. Putting rock opera as a genre is like putting concept album as a genre. Rodericksilly (talk) 23:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@FlightTime Phone: Hi, I’m not sure if your revert as good faith on the Elvis article is covered by simply “no, it is not”. The word ‘also’ implies ‘in addition; too’, when really he was/is known by his first name and not another name. I propose the article should read like Kylie Minogue’s does at the moment (“often known simply as”) or “commonly known as” with a link to the Mononymous person article because he’s always been known like that.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
I’m not going to revert it back straightaway, I want to read what your opinion is on the matter. Neither of us is arguing about the “known simply as Elvis” part, but precisely the word used before that phrase. ‘also’ implies an additional name which isn’t really the case for someone’s actual given name, the definitions of ‘commonly’ and ‘often’ are pretty much synonymous and I would argue either one is more accurate because it’s how he has always been known to most people.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:24, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
@FlightTime Phone: Thanks for the reply. I undid my edit adding that link. Do you have any problem changing “ask” to “commonly” or “often”? Although the difference between “often” and “also” are somewhat subtle, I do think the former would be more appropriate. I don’t really see why you would have any objections, but I thought I would ask first. Thanks.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
I understand your point about there being no need for there to be a link to the mononymous person article. I changed “also” to “often”. I hope that is okay.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:37, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
I don’t understand you. You said “No I do not” so I changed it and then you reverted it and accused me of weasel words. Nevertheless, I have created a section on the article’s talk page so maybe you could explain why you’re being so awkward with me about something which is small but important. I accept why there is no need for a link to the mononymous person article, but I fail to see why you think “also” is the better word choice. I look forward to reading your response on the article’s talk page. Bye.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:55, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
