User talk:Ferret

Discord

Hi. I had never heard if Discord until today, but when I triad to use it and 'claim' my account it tells me my email address is already registered. How is that possible? It won't let me enter messages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:19, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kudpung: I'm going to email you on this topic. -- ferret (talk) 13:07, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Maybe I did look at it once out of curiosity - like I did today. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:41, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kudpung: I think I see what prompted your curiosity now. You're of course welcome any time. -- ferret (talk) 13:49, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

This still doesn't work. The browser does not present me with a log in page, only 'claim this', and then keeps telling me my email is already registered. No box to enter the pw. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:34, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kudpung: Try in a different browser, or clearing your cache first. Most likely the temporary account is cached in your current browser. Otherwise, log out is buried in the options. There will be a little gear in the lower left, next to the mic and headphone buttons. Click it and Log Out should be the last option on the left. -- ferret (talk) 23:53, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kudpung: Did you ever have any luck? Feel free to contact me any time. -- ferret (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

No, I've never been able to get it to work. It keeps asking me to claim an account and when I enter my email it tells me an account is already registered. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

@Kudpung: If you are in a browser, look in the lower left where your avatar and name are listed. Next to it are a microphone, headset and gear icon. Click the gear to open options. Log Out is in red at the end of the options. That should put you back to a login panel where you can enter your email and do Forgotten Password. -- ferret (talk) 21:42, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting my accidental revert on Caroline Buchanan. After looking at my browser history I realized I must have accidentally clicked the Twinkle 'rollback' link from the previous editor's contribs page. Sorry about that, I'll be more careful in the future. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 22:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Janis Joplin

Could you please check out Janis Joplin? These people keep deleting "female". CLCStudent (talk) 16:06, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Protected. -- ferret (talk) 16:08, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Some confirmed users are continuing with the disruptive edits. CLCStudent (talk) 16:13, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

I think there's some merit to that, so maybe best to move to the talk page on the count. The general mixed in outright vandalism should be stopped though. You should also be aware there's a Reddit thread that is sparking this flurry of activity. -- ferret (talk) 16:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Surprised to see this labelled as vandalism. Obviously edit warring and it should be dicussed, but there is a legit debate to be had isn't there? I've fully protected it for a couple of days. It's coming from reddit btw: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/cb22ws/i_edited_janis_joplins_wikipedia_page_to_say_most/. SmartSE (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

I forgive ya ;) SmartSE (talk) 16:58, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Yep there's two issues here. A bunch of vandalism got mixed in, which had to stop, and a general edit war over the inclusion of the word. That needs to be handled on the talk page, so here we are... :) -- ferret (talk) 17:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Lordtobi ignorant

Please dealt with Lordtobi. It seems that he had go overboard to delete everything. Despite, I'll helping the article to make it great. If you can. Thanks 115.66.21.132 (talk) 12:27, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Replied on IP's talk page. -- ferret (talk) 12:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Edit with source

Hi, I read what you said about the far cry primal edit that I have done about one hour ago. It wasn't from a player observation without any source, if you go on the Italian Wikipedia page of 3 peaks of Lavaredo you can see that under curiosity tab it says what I wrote in the edit, and in the official dolomiti page that I have linked in the cite it says that 3 Cime di Lavaredo appear in Far Cry Primal. Thanks however for anything. Pucco93 (talk) 19:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@Pucco93: Self-reverted. I missed the mention at the very end of the source. Thank you for leaving me a message rather than just reverting. -- ferret (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Seriously

I spent FOREVER making Player (Mojang) and you just go and make it a redirect. You better make it back to a page EXACTLY how it was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrCoolGuy159 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@MrCoolGuy159: These are not topics that pass WP:GNG. They lack sourcing and independent coverage separate from the game, and there's very little to say about them. Minecraft's gamepedia adequately covers both topics, but they are not suitable for Wikipedia. The long list of deletions on your talk page indicates a chronic issue of understanding when topics are notable. I highly recommend reading WP:GNG before you create any further articles. At the very least you need to be using Drafts and having AFC review your creations. -- ferret (talk) 23:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I got your message. I may be quitting Wikipedia now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrCoolGuy159 (talk • contribs) 23:19, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I spent almost 3 hours making Player (Mojang). I'm pretty sure you're aware that it is under development. Can I undo that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrCoolGuy159 (talk • contribs) 23:22, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@MrCoolGuy159: Tell you what, I'll try to help you out here with some guidance. Article space isn't where you should be building new articles that are questionable on sourcing and notability. You should do it in a sandbox or in draft space. I've moved the page to draft space for you to work on, see Draft:Player (Mojang). When you believe the article is ready, submit it for an AFC review. Do not move it from Draft to Article yourself. -- ferret (talk) 23:25, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

User talk:Whaleworld

Hey! I tried to update the block reason on the user's talk page so they know what they've been blocked for (in case they're not a sock), but was reverted because you should be the one to update it if necessary. So, if you deem so necessary, could you update the block uw template? --MrClog (talk) 17:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Cross posted to user's talk page already. User is under a NOTHERE block either way. That they happened to be a sock too is secondary. :) All good. -- ferret (talk) 17:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
