"Every edit, especially bold ones, is disruptive. Disruptive just means changing the status quo and because Wikipedia is in a constant state of evolution, it is in a constant state of disruption ..."

"Montana, you know I respect you greatly--you write FAs that have fewer adjectives than that outburst."

"[The] readers will not be privy to the massive undercurrents of dross that underpins WP. They require well written, well sourced, encyclopaedic material that can inform, enlighten and satisfy their interest."

—User:Leaky caldron to User:ThatPeskyCommoner

"We live a time when criticism, especially here on Wikipedia, is considered to be a personal attack, which is at the root of this nonsense. Yet without criticism we can't improve."

Before you post on my talk page (humor)

Come here and I'll point the spout at YOU!

Don't call names, you saucy tickle-brained clack-dish!

You have been noticed using opprobrious epithets. It's payback time from the Shakespeare Insult Generator! To activate the Insultspout and receive fresh insults, click here. Note that all insults generated by the Spout are guaranteed literary and cultured, unlike the nasty things you said, you mammering bat-fowling barnacle.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time

Hello Montanabw:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

DYK for Missoula Children's Theatre

On 17 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Missoula Children's Theatre, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Missoula Children's Theatre works with more than 65,000 children every year? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Missoula Children's Theatre. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Missoula Children's Theatre), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

GA for Boyd Exell

Hi Montanabw. I nominated Boyd Exell as a GA article, my first nomination, and it's a short horse-related BLP. I don't know if you do GA reviews or not, but if you do would you consider looking at this one?   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 02:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Sounds great! I do a few, and yes, I can look at yours, but may be a couple days before I have time to look closely. Montanabw^(talk) 03:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
