Welcome to my talk page!

I like to keep things compact, and don't have any great ideas for my user page yet, so my signature directs here.

I was a long-time reader and lurker (since 2003). I appreciate the Five pillars and the idea of open knowledge, and want to give something back; this is why I began editing in 2021. I'd like to receive your feedback on anything I've done. Expect a reply! :)

By the way:

• I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you start a new talk topic here, I will respond on this same page, as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there, using the ping template like this: {{ping|Alalch E.}}. If you want to initiate a conversation with me anywhere else, simply ping me there—no need to notify me here.
• If a discussion here is about a specific article, I may move the discussion to that article's talk page. Were one to disagree I would tell them to treat it as my removing comments on my talk page and my quoting them on the target page. The Moved discussion to/from templates are useful here.

Resolved

Hello, I'm Falcon Kirtaran. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Clop (erotic fan art), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. FalconK (talk) 00:53, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

@Falcon Kirtaran: Hi! I am replying here because you posted on my talk page. Is this an automated message? It was incredibly quick. I undid removal of a portion of the lead by an IP editor. Per MOS:LEAD, citations in the lead aren't necessary whenever it adequately summarizes the body. tw^sabin 00:56, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

The form of the lead which I restored goes back to a Jan. 6 edit: diff. tw^sabin 01:00, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh, I see what you were doing now. My bad. FalconK (talk) 01:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

No problem! Nice tool, I'll have to look into that. tw^sabin 01:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Speedy tagging

You tagged Draft:Bowling Blue Records as an WP:A7. Drafts cannot be deleted per A7. You created your account on January 17 and have already accumulated 424 edits that are more typical of an experienced user than a newbie. What other accounts have you had on Wikipedia? Regardless of your experience besides this account, you should not be speedy tagging articles if you don't understand how the criteria work.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Thanks for the heads up. I refer to the policy page each time I place the CSD tag (actually I've had it open in another window all day long), but I was incautious here. Sorry for the error. I haven't had any other accounts. I edited other wikis. I'm just enjoying monitoring recent changes honestly. I get interested in an article do a series of edits there, and move on... Is my editing so far okay? I'm interested in improving my WP:OLDSCHOOL game, and then moving on to some more advanced things I suppose. tw^sabin 19:37, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Here are my other CSD nominations in the past few days, which I've noted down, to see if the results match my expectations: [1][2][3][4][5][6] I hope that this makes me not an absolute net detriment in this area. I think I can understand every criterion, and I'll be more cautious. tw^sabin 19:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't want to make myself look too clever though. I notice things that I don't know how to react to: Just ignore?, report to an admin? tw^sabin 22:30, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

About the latter: The indefinitely blocked user created a new account and wants... justice. This is the ANI which resulted in a block: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1086#User:Umhafs072 tw^sabin 22:42, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I've blocked the sock.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:51, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

User talk page messages

Hi Twsabin, thanks for your contributions. I noticed that when notifying users, you sometimes left messages for them on the user page instead of the user talk page. E.g. in this case here, or here. Please only leave these messages on the user talk page. Thanks! – NJD-DE (talk) 21:53, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Njd-de: Oh wow, thanks, I'll make sure not to repeat that. tw^sabin 21:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Awesome. Btw your ping didn't work. I'm too lazy to explain in my own words right now, so copied the following from Template:Ping fix:

Unfortunately, that method does not work. The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding your signature or fixing a botched username. Instead, reference the user by adding [[User:Example]] to an edit summary, or use one of the other methods at Help:Fixing failed pings.

Let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing! – NJD-DE (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

@Njd-de: Thanks for that too, very enlightening! tw^sabin 22:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Battle of Grozny (1994–1995)

Hi. You say "i can't detect the PoV issue here, please bring it up on the talk page". And I say: in the article there is no information about the "heavy" (heavy relative to what?) losses of the Russian army and the "fall" in the morale of the troops, as indicated in the controversial text. This is just someone's (pro-Chechen) opinion not reflected by reference to reliable sources. How it even matter discuss on Talk page? There are obvious problems with [WP:NPOV] and [WP:LEAD] should be fixed.31.40.131.100 (talk) 22:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
