• It clearly was not vandalism. Your edits added unsourced content that doesn't meet WP:NPOV. Twice. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Aaron (given name)

Thanks! Hope you and yours are well. Drmies (talk) 17:29, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

• Hope you're well, too, Drmies. We're just back from a week on the Maine coast--the price of lobster rolls has become prohibitive. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 17:38, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
  • That is so sad to hear. Things aren't getting any easier for anyone, except for those for whom wealth has trickled up. We're on a shoestring budget this summer. Drmies (talk) 22:03, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Not complaining, much, Drmies. If the price of lobster rolls is one's metric for the shape of the economy, we may be in Marie Antoinette territory. Sorry to hear about the shoestrings. I actually have a more compelling tale, that of being ousted from my longtime studio and finding a new place to work. It's been an unsettling spring, but this, as does everything else, passes. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 22:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Will have to shut down and reboot

Which means I'll return with a new IP. Alas. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 12:38, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

• Well I guess not. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 02:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Oasis Christian Academy

Drmies, the article has been owned by COi accounts employed by the school. I'd prefer not to edit war over curricular listings--would you take a shot at cleaning this, and then either protect it or do whatever else you think is appropriate? Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 13:04, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

• Ha, User:Theroadislong did it already. Is this article not ripe for deletion? Drmies (talk) 16:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

A quick WP:BEFORE turns up nothing independent or in depth. Seems like a candidate for AFD. Theroadislong (talk) 16:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

• • Theroadislong and Drmies, thank you both. I was willing to give a high school the benefit of the doubt, but that probably pertains to public schools. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 20:25, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

A day late

Power went out without reason, as it often does here in the countryside. So. 2601:188:180:B8E0:6038:F028:E9EA:27B0 (talk) 23:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Bionics Institute

Melcous, Drmies, a good one for COI crap and copyright violations. When you have the time. 2601:188:180:B8E0:6038:F028:E9EA:27B0 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

• Where's the copyvio? If I can go back in the history and take care of that, I can save a lot of work. Drmies (talk) 14:32, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Drmies, is there a tool that looks at the entire article and links to copied text? If not, later I'll respond with several possible links. The unsourced and promotional passages are key. 2601:188:180:B8E0:6038:F028:E9EA:27B0 (talk) 15:04, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
    • I dusted my broom a bit. Drmies (talk) 15:10, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
      • Thank you, Drmies 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:28, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
