Would it be possible to change the name of the page for "James Arthur Frost" to "James A. Frost?" After considerable research, I found that he often wasn't referred to by his full name on documentation. JoeK2033 (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, my friend. And I was just starting to enjoy that, lol. Thank you and TK for the reverts. If my computer was just a tad quicker ... I might have been able to help out in real time. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lol, what made them so mad at you anwyay. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 06:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Must have a thing for Catherine. Usually they continue attacking on the page in question, not a talk page. My computer doesn't refresh that quickly, so if I started to revert, I would have put his mess back on my page, lol. At least I planned out my sarcasm and he was blocked two minutes after I sent the message. Hee. Thanks again for seeing it and responding. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:25, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Funny thing, I only reverted what he did because he used profanity the edit before. Then he called me an ass, I guess because I reverted Catherine to Katherine. That's all I did. I enjoy that stuff anyway, I'll stay here for hours going back and forth .. but I'd like to see them get blocked before the sun comes up. ; ) Bringingthewood (talk) 06:30, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, WikiOriginal-9,

Please use a sxript like User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft when you decide to draftify an article. It will inform the page creator about the page move and also tag the main space page for CSD R2 speedy deletion. It takes care of all of the necessary steps and will even start a log for you listing articles you have draftified. I encourage you to try it out. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Can't say I remember the FLC, but it looks like I did support it back in the day. Looking at it from with 2024 standards in mind, I'm not convinced that a bare text list of players would find as much favor at FLC. One thing that came up during the conversation on that page is that the apparent project standard is to have consensus All-Americans in a table, which I thought looked like a nice foundation in the example given. Cite the columns appropriately and clean up the formatting, and I think it could pass muster. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to have been done yet with this list, so it's hard to say it meets FL standards in its present condition. Also, I don't think the bolding for emphasis would go over well. There are worse lists at FL standard, but I wouldn't support this again in its current form. Please note that if you want to start a wider discussion over the page's status, WP:FLRC is available. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:44, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Question: When does someone realize that they may have a drinking problem? Answer: When they try to find the editor to thank for the edit that they did themselves two days ago. @@. Figured I'd share that, beats talking to myself. See you later. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lol. I think I've done that before too where I wondered who edited something and saw I did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not to bother you, but I did read that I typed for someone to chime in with adding a reference. If you ever want to add one, please do. I no longer have the option to preview my edits, so it may take a dozen or so times for me to get it right. Just throwing that out at you. You're doing a lot of NFL pages. Now I understand what you do, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lol, thanks. Why can't you preview your edits? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:51, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You're welcome. I went through this messy explanation with Josh and Bagumba, lol. On my 1-year anniversary I lost several options. WP must have changed some things that were once compatible to a relic computer/browser etc. As an IP user I can preview an edit, but when logged in I can't. Btw, I've never edited anything as an IP user since I joined on 4/6/22. Now when I hit preview, it shows the same page, no impending edit. Also, it no longer shows the symbol drop-down box. Even the real-time watchlist updates .. no more, I have to constantly refresh the page. I'm okay with all of it, I'm very thick-headed. I can now hammer a nail in with my skull. Now that's talent! Bringingthewood (talk) 23:05, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hmm, I'm not sure. Did something in your preferences change or maybe something on Wikipedia in general changed? Maybe some at the WP:Help Desk knows? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:17, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think it was a WP change. I'm using Windows Vista and outdated Firefox. So I know when things change, they change. I originally asked this change/problem question on Village pump. Let's just say by the time I was done with the wonderful people worrying about me signing my posts, instead of addressing my problem ... it would have been easier using my 12 gauge 'village' pump to end the agony. I now have to edit a message and type the four tildes, another thing I lost. Used to just hit the reply button. Ahh, forget it, this mess will still be here for another time. You get back to your evening. We'll talk again. Thanks for the talk. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think the village pump is really for general questions like that. It's for policy or guideline change proposals. Help desk still might be worth a shot. Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 23:49, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm really going to let you go, lol. The V.P. was just to ask did anyone see or hear of a change regarding editors losing some normal functions. I get, you know you should sign your messages. I swear, it's hard for me to bring this up now ... seeing red was an understatement. But I did see somewhere that something was changed or was expiring regarding Wikipedia formats. Being that my computer is old and brittle, I just wanted to know if that was the case. At least after they tried to give me a nervous breakdown, I did find the 'tilde' key. Only took me 16 years to realize I had one, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Actually, there didn't even used to be a "reply" button until a few years ago. I used to have to use the four tildes for every message. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:02, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

And I came soooo close to being spoiled! If I lose anything major I'll probably buy all new electronics. I'm not one for change, so I dread the day. Well, I guess I used up my conversation quota for the new year already. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:10, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

lol, I know what you mean. Maybe you could take turns using both the new one and old one? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:14, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ha! At least you have a subtle way of saying .. "Stupid, go buy a new computer", lol. I might as well get back to editing, while I still can. Thanks for your input. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think you should buy a new computer. I like old stuff better too. But if the old one is causing too many problems, unfortunately, we might not have a choice if we can't figure out how to fix it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For clarification on the Draft:Battle of Candlestick Park name: it's usually called the "Battle of Candlestick" or the "Battle of San Francisco" (edit to add: this one I've seen once only) or the "Roseboro-Marichal incident" or "The Fight". There is no one name for it BUT in old newspaper from at the time and in SABR articles, it is often referred to as the "Battle of Candlestick".

Most notably, the author of "The Fight of their Lives" (about the brawl and the two players at the center) calls it the "battle of Candlestick" a few times. So I guess I should remove the "Park" from the end? Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

On the pages it is mentioned on Wikipedia, the section on it is often called the "Roseboro-Marichal incident", I should note. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Further note: it is also called "Battle of Candlestick" by SABR - see Roseboro's BioProject (there's no official article on the fight itself - not yet, at least).

So what do you think? Without the "Park" in the title or something else? Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"Battle of Candlestick" only has 6 results on Google. Maybe just "Marichal–Roseboro brawl". Examples in Category:Brawls in team sports. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yeah, that sounds fine for the time being. I'll move the name. Omnis Scientia (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Archil_Gelovani_(filmmaker)

Hello! I recently made edits again to a draft article about Archil Gelovani (Georgian film producer). Please take a look.

Also, I would like to clarify the situation regarding "sagnificance". Georgia (Sakartvelo) is a small country with only a few million people who speak their ancient language. This is really important to consider when the term "significance" is applied. Significance can be increased through popularization, but since Georgia is just going through some globalization processes, perhaps some people do not even know where it is, not only who lives there and makes movies. For the citizens of this country themselves, popularizing their culture is a matter of national pride. It's important.

I look forward to publishing this article.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page List of serial killers by number of victims, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 20:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	I love the work you did on the list of serial killers by number of victims article. not to mention the sheer amount of articles you've created. I'm so excited to get to read through my favorite article again with the edits you made Kleptotoid (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Kleptotoid: Wow! Thank you for the compliment Kleptotoid! I'm glad you like it. I have had a hiatus from that list for awhile but I noticed a lot of stuff missing so I went back and re-added stuff. Not sure how no one noticed that user removing over 300K bytes of content in 2019. I expanded it a lot in 2014 as well if you look at the history of my edits there and also the edits of "Vanished user 437dsfj27sk83a9". That was my old account. :) I have also received barnstars for List of serial killers by country and List of serial killers before 1900 years ago, so now your barnstar completes the trifecta. :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I know what This is my own work means, but does it also mean that I can't take some photos from other websites/the web and use them? (I'm looking for tips because I'm creating 2 new drafts) TheWikiGuy2552 (talk) 18:47, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, we can't take other people's images unless they have explicitly released them into the public domain, which is unlikely in most cases. See Wikipedia:Image use policy for more info. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There was a statement, I guess, being made on the Thibodeaux talk page earlier. If you put together something diplomatic over there to go on, I'll back you on it. Just want to cover the bases with this relentless fan. This is funny, it's like the Myles Garrett guy that had to come here and put the sack rankings in for each year. Lead the season 'just one time' and then we can speak, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:50, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't plan on arguing with him but Thibodeaux was only a third alternate, not sure that's notable when like most of the league are alternates of some sort. I've seen seventh alternates reported before. Look at this source. "Jameis Winston is going to Hawaii, yet he was the league's eighth alternate after the six quarterbacks voted in." "The Cincinnati Bengals' Adam Jones, named Tuesday, was the seventh alternate at cornerback."

He didn't add a source anyway. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 00:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well said. Just don't want a source added. lol. I think it's too trivial. Not sure about the higher-ups and their view of a player page etc. I know references are a big thing here. (And just a note: I won't attempt to add a reference being that I can't view my mess first). I try to add what's fact and someone else can add the reference. ........... I need a drink, I forgot what we were talking about. Bringingthewood (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I just wanted to ask for some further information about why you've declined this submission. I am fairly new to Wiki submissions, but I feel the quantity & quantity of coverage referred to in the article's references more than warrant a Wikipedia entry for the individual.

He is a Royal Warrant holder (& that's an interest of mine, so I was going to start working through other Royal Warrant holders across Wikipedia), which means that he personally makes silver & gold items for various members of the British Royal Family. (And this is granted to him personally, not to the business.) He's also been covered in a BBC Documentary and is covered in articles in The Guardian, Bonhams, Faberge and others.

So as I say, once I've done this submission I want to start working through various other Royal Warrant holders creating / updating their articles. This is such an honour (to have been recognised by and supply goods to the Royal Family) that I thought they all 'qualify' for a Wiki entry...so I'm just trying to understand more.

Many thanks for your help & I look forward to hearing back.

Sorry, I only linked the Bills because they were mentioned a couple of seasons up on the page, not duplicated in the 2023 section. I saw that the Ravens and 49ers were linked in 2023 and also in 2019 and 2020. If that's the case we have our work cut out for us. The other day I saw a team linked in every season, lol.

I'll leave it off, you did remove it for a reason. Teams are linked everywhere, not that I agree with that. Too many links are ridiculous. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. Unregisters users don't have any easy click-to-thank ability, but thanks again. And I'm fine with the change you made to the season headings at the Smith page (though technically the transaction wasn't part of the 2018 season, even if it happened in 2018, as the year hadn't ended yet with the Super Bowl. But I'm not going to try to become an authority on the minute mincing details of it all.

When I got your thanks I went to your user page and saw (among other things) you've made over 190,000 edits...yet still are not regarded as an "auto-confirmed user". Wow. With the Smith page being restricted to them (and discovering you too are waiting for the above pending edit to be vetted). Though some "fine print" at your User Groups listing indicates you are an "implicit" auto-confirmed user. Which evidently is still not enough to make a simple edit at the Smith page.

I guess a user has to request to become auto-confirmed, and sponsored. I'm amazed with all the bots and whatnots in Wikipedia there is no mechanism to identify putative deserving candidates (by some reasonable set of criteria) and auto-nominate them. Well, offer them an opt-out first, then do it if they're in. None of my business, ultimately, but not just one "wow" but 190,000 of them.

I'm not going to double review it, but you can resubmit it if you'd like. Or you could ask at the help desk. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 13:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes lol. I will kind of reveal my age here but I made my account around my high school years. When I went on a long hiatus, I grew up some but still had a knack for making some redirects that fit but were kind of funny in my opinion at least. Since then, I have lost a little of the funny side because I have an idea of what is acceptable around here. Thanks for the notice. Made me smile lol.

@Red Director: LOL. Also, I always thought you were older for some reason. :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:17, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

LOL! You're going to take them all back once you see Earl Keeley. I'm used to removing caps, but for some reason I can't get the stats in the infobox the way you had them (NEAT). There would be less of a mess, if I could see what I'm submitting first. You may have to go back to 2014 and work some magic over there. Sorry about that.

I think I just copied that formatting from other CFL infoboxes. Feel free to adjust to non-caps. :) ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:20, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'd rather not. It looked fine before (your way) because the stats were in line. For the life of me, I know I put it back to the way it was, but it's not neat any longer. Truly I hate doing so many edits for fixes. Down deep I feel like someone is saying .. he wants NUMBERS, lol. My hang up, but I was like that at Answers.com also. I'll see what I can do. Removing caps seems okay for NFL .. maybe not CFL for me. Well, I took up my mandatory two inches of talk space, I'll let you go. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, you know I can't stay away. I guessed and I was correct, I saw that adding Canada pushed the lines down. Bad news, I must have done dozens of these additions (several of your page creations) and never noticed it. What's more important, the country or the stat box looking good? Your call, it's your page. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, I haven't noticed either, so it's probably okay. :) Thanks, ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You spent some time editing Frank Clark (American football) recently. We are looking for feedback on a page move on his talk page. Care to comment?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, WikiOriginal-9! I recently shared a draft replacement article for Atlantic Union Bank on behalf of the bank and as part of my work at Beutler Ink. The current entry is problematic for the reasons I've outlined here. I do not edit the main space directly because of my COI, and I am looking for editors to review and implement the proposed draft appropriately.

I've disclosed my COI on the article's Talk page and my profile page. Since you reviewed another company draft of mine not too long ago, I was wondering if you might be willing to take a look at the draft. Thanks for your consideration! Inkian Jason (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for your thoughts, but I'll pass this time. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:30, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No problem, thanks for confirming! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just added a comma after a team on the Darius Jackson page and then saw that you added the Raiders. Never good with all types of punctuation. Is it a, b, c, and d? Or a, b, c and d? Didn't want to edit pretending I knew the whole score. :/ Bringingthewood (talk) 02:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not really sure honestly. Maybe it's in the WP:MOS somewhere... ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 03:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

LOL! I think it was being taught in grammar school, but I slept a lot. There is a correct way to do it and I've seen many with a comma before 'and'. Well, always feel free to revert the 'ugly' that I create. Thanks for the response. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
