Regarding the post which I mentioned at my Talk page

Hello,
I have requested an update which I expect to be have to an article → [1].
Thank you. The_Featured_Editior^Talk02:13, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Bookish Way of Life (05:04, 18 January 2022)

how can I write my own page/ article? --Bookish Way of Life (talk) 05:04, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bookish Way of Life: Hello Bookish! It would depend on what you're wanting your article to be about. Before you even start to write an article, you want to determine whether or not the subject is notable. If you don't determine it's notable before writing the article then you may be wasting your time writing an article that will never make it out of draftspace. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Self-trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Self-trout for forgetting to add File: when adding an image to Ford F-150 and being confused as to why it wasn't working. Good job me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:52, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ooooooo, been there. I felt the hard smack of the fish tail on that one. --ARose Wolf 15:12, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I kept making changes and I was like, "What am I doing wrong?" and then I realized I forgot to add File:. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:13, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pesky little command words get you every time. Other than that how is the journey going? Anything I can help you with since I'm here and you've been great at helping me? --ARose Wolf 15:15, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nope not really. My journey's been pretty good so far. I've discovered that as amazing as Huggle seems it's rather confusing to use so I'm just sticking with RedWarn + Rollback for now. I've had to remove my trout button since people kept misusing it as a "new section" button to complain about me reverting their edits (which usually their edits should have been reverted). But other than that it's been pretty good. Doesn't really help that I'm super tired now because of school so I'm not as.... sharp (for lack of a better word that I Can think of) as I normally am and will probably make more mistakes than I usually do. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:18, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as much as Wikipedia needs your editing and watchful eyes on the articles here, you need to make sure to take care of yourself too. Get the rest you need so you don't burn out. This place will be here. --ARose Wolf 15:21, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I'm doing my best to get enough rest. I've already managed to burn myself out on something once (it was after doing a 2k+ kilometer job in Euro Truck Simulator 2 in one sitting, in my uncomfortable chair that's falling apart) so I'm doing my best to make sure it doesn't happen again. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:23, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ha! Done this several times, but never published the edits, so never spoke about it either. Until now. Template:Vukky Best wishes and happy 2022, Vukky ^Talk _Guestbook 15:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from KingAviationKid (19:30, 19 January 2022)

Hey what happened to the main Wikipedia page? Have we gone back in time? --KingAviationKid (talk) 19:30, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) What would suggest that we've gone back in time? Looks totally normal to me. ― Levi_OP^Talk 19:39, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia looks just fine to me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:12, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ShilohStar8 (04:39, 20 January 2022)

Hello, Im new here and wanted to share my knowledge on an ancient healing modelity called Koaku. I have created a talk page on this topic, but i was wanting to upload an image to the page, however my account has not been confirmed yet. Please are you able to help me? Thank You --ShilohStar8 (talk) 04:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ShilohStar8: Hello Shiloh. Please take a look at WP:N and WP:MEDRS, as well as WP:PROMO. One of your edits has already been reverted because it seems like advertising. Also, Wikipedia is not a place to Right great wrongs, which you might be doing based on the text that was on your talk page. If you have any questions feel free to ask here or at WP:TEA. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:03, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page didn't archive

In your most recent diff you said Why are these set to not archive until 2031? I didn't put that there. I checked to see who added it and I found this diff. It appears as though you did add it. I think when you added it you mistyped 2031 and meant to put 2021. ― Levi_OP^Talk 14:09, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah probably. Either that or I just ued a template for 10 years and so that was what happened. I just noticed it when looking at my diff viewer for the latest archive and I noticed that apparently Lowercase sigmabot obeys the "do not archive until" thing even though it says "Cluebot III". I'll probably either manually archive or just let it automatically archive and them move them to a part of an archive where that would belong. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:14, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. The part that says [[User:DoNotArchiveUntil]], according to the page User:DoNotArchiveUntil, works for all bots. I don't know why that and the cluebot ones were there. I also found this diff where you copy and pasted that little code snippet over and over again and put it all over your talk page. ― Levi_OP^Talk 14:19, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that was because I was trying to stop the bot from archiving my page. I eventually just resorted to commenting out the bots code to stop the archival which has worked. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:22, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I might eventually switch to Month Year based archiving which probably means I'll have to switch to Cluebot which doesn't regularly run (unless it's Cluebot NG which is always running and looking for vandalism). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:26, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

notoriety

here's the definition of notoriety- "the state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed." So chances are if you are notorious, you are also notable. You just may not like what people write.

moved here to not disract the likely frustrated editor trying to get article published.Slywriter (talk) 01:38, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Slywriter: Ah ok thank you! I knew what notoriety meant, but due to my brain being fried I thought that Wikipedia had some special definition for it. Thanks for explaining lol ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... do we? WP:Notoriety Nope looks like we don't but it is just notability for being bad.Slywriter (talk) 01:44, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Slywriter: Yep. I understand now. Thank you! Like I said my brain is a bit fried so I'm not as... "bright" as I normally am (for lack of a better word). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:46, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Time to replace that light bulb then, huh? Hope you get some rest and rejuvenation. --ARose Wolf 17:56, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ARoseWolf: I'm doing better now. I was trying to do math to complete my "review" before my test today and it was Monday and late in the evening so my brain was struggling to think. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:59, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am one of those that are not considered a mathematician though I know enough to have kept up the financials for my Papa when we owned and operated a store growing up. I'm glad you got the rest though. --ARose Wolf 18:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from KingAviationKid (13:33, 26 January 2022)

I have two questions. First, why is User:BilCat seem to be going everywhere I go? He has been doing it since I first edited Wikipedia! Second, Draft:Eli Timoner is about the same thing as Eli Timoner. I would just deny the article, but I am not an admin, so I can't do that! How can I do something about the article? --KingAviationKid (talk) 13:33, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KingAviationKid: I can't explain why BilCat is following you (BilCat would you like to explain?). Second, if Draft:Eli Timoner is the exact same thing as Eli Timoner it can be deleted under speedy criteria G6, or the article can be deleted due ot it being non-notable meaning someone might've moved it to mainspace early. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:14, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blaze, please AGF. Your response doesn't do that. @KingAviationKid:, I'm not following you in any way. I have over 14,000 articles on my watchlist, the majority of them aviation related. As that's your stated area of interest, most of your edits will show up on my watchlist. If they aren't correct, I correct them. It's as simple as that. BilCat (talk) 20:10, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BilCat: My apologies. I was assuming good faith but it appears that wasn't how I phrased it. I said "BilCat would you like to explain?" because I was intending to ask you to explain why it seemed like you were following them, even though I knew you werent. Since I wasn't you I couldn't explain why it seemed like you were following them. Again my apologies. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:35, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, and thanks. BilCat (talk) 20:45, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	I note not so long ago you struggled with policy, and also struggled with correctly answering questions at the Teahouse, between then and now I have noticed an exponential growth in both aforementioned areas. Keep it up. Celestina007 (talk) 17:37, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Celestina007: Thank you very much. I have indeed worked to improve my knowledge in both areas and if I"m ever unsure about something I usually ask. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:40, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very good and excellent approach to editing and detailed in WP:NOTOMNISCIENT. keep it up, my talkpage is open to you if you have any questions you may want to ask. Celestina007 (talk) 18:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I find it kinda funny how you referenced your own essay that had good advice regardless Will do. As is probably obvious I"m still learning as I continue to edit Wikipedia. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:23, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are other essays which you might find helpful on my UP if you venture into anti spam in future. Lastly, that isn’t mine anymore. I drafted the essay but the moment i published the essay, it no longer became “mine” as I agreed to CC BY-SA 3.0, Once again, keep up the good work. Celestina007 (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand that it isn't yours. I simply referring to it as your since it says you were the one who originally created it. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:54, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

that is very correct in that context. Celestina007 (talk) 19:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NET (Indonesian TV network)

Hi. I understand why you self-reverted, however the ip's action was actually a cut and paste move, which is not allowed as per WP:CUTANDPASTE. Thanks for all you do on the project. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: I didn't know they had done a cut and paste move. Thank you for telling me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 11:49, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. You do great work, so I thought you didn't know about the cut and paste, that's why I didn't simply leave an edit summary note. Felt too impersonal for such an experienced editor. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:51, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Even when I look at the history I still don't see the cut and paste move unless you're referring to it on the other article. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 11:54, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, all the history is in this article, the ip simply cut and paste it to NET.. Which is the cut and paste. That's what you didn't see when you self-reverted. Whenever I come across an article which has been redirected, I always check the other article to see if it's cut and paste. Happens quite frequently. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Ah ok. I had simply looked at the talk page and saw that the dude who closed the RM 1. Is now blocked and 2. did an inappropriate WP:NAC. Didn't check for a cut and paste move since I thought all the IP was doing was creating a redirect. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:00, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I probably average about 2 a day of these cut and paste moves over at NPP, so you get used to knowing what to look for. Regardless, keep up the good work. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:08, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Universe or multiverse?

So from the urban dictionary: 3. dimension (n) pl. dimensions: An alternate universe or a parallel universe, the latter usually referred to in fiction. Mario's home world is called universe and dimension The levels are called dimensions Chapter 4 level is literally called universe in Japanese So universe = dimension and the word multiverse is more fitting Ballou123 (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ballou123: Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source, per WP:RSP. ––FormalDude talk 20:45, 28 January 2022 (UTC) (talk page watcher)[reply]

Cool, still doesn't refute my argument, you cannot ignore how the word another dimension is referred as another universe in fiction, pretty much even if you ask anyone about this they will answer you like how i answered Ballou123 (talk) 20:52, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ballou123: Hello Ballou. Wikitionary's definition of dimension in fiction is "A universe or plane of existence." So you are correct that technically multi-verse would be correct in the sense of the word being multiple universes. However I think dimension would still be better as it would be more understandable to others in the sense that the game uses them. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd like I could start a discussion on the talk page of the article to see if editors think "multi-verse" or "dimension" would be the better word to use on the page. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:28, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean multiverse or "universe" since it was originally universe in the page, also i don't mind Ballou123 (talk) 21:36, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ballou123: Ah yep thank you for correcting me. I'm working on creating the discussion right now. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 21:51, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Page merge without any discussion

Hello! I just undid the page merge you performed because there was 0 discussion on it that I could see. The page that you redirected's talk page is non-existent and the other talk page has no discussion. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:03, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze, thanks for reaching out. This was my first attempt at a merge. The articles are the same with varying information on the new page, as opposed to the original. How would we merge them together? --GlenTheYid (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GlenTheYid: Hello Glen! See WP:MERGE for how to do it. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:08, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from White4life (19:46, 30 January 2022)

Editing user pages without permission

You have edited my user page without permission. If this keeps happening, you may get Souji-ed.--Alex Mitchell of The Goodies (talk) 00:28, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alex Mitchell of The Goodies: I had a valid reason to edit your userpage. You had a template on your page that is only used on file pages which should not be on any userpage.
