I'm on a bit of a Wikibreak. I'll still be sporadically editing and patrolling, but my usual watchlist efforts are on hold as I focus on real life priorities, so I'll have a much lower activity level for a while.

This is Ferret's talk page, where you can send her messages and comments.

Quick Question

Hey, so about a year or so ago I got banned from the wikipedia discord. I am not entirely sure why I got banned, a bot didn't DM me with the reason. I assume it had to do with some threads I made on the server beforehand (one of them I wasn't planning on restarting, some other user did). Is this reasoning correct? And if so am I able to appeal? Please let me know. Thanks!

@WeaponizingArchitecture You were banned for spamming and abusing threads right after the feature was enabled, after being told not to by moderators. @Seddon, thoughts? -- ferret (talk) 19:57, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, my thought process at the time was “no other server im in enabled threads yet so lets test them here”. Why I couldn’t make a new server for that at the time I have 0 clue, I have a hard time understanding my thought processes back in, say 2021, so I can’t stress enough that it was pretty stupid.

@WeaponizingArchitecture Please explain how you'll utilize the server going forward, and why your previous behavior resulted in a ban. I'd also like you to address the G10 attack page and "pee" message you made against friends back in January, and your block from Commons (expiring tomorrow). Do you understand why these behaviors are problematic? -- ferret (talk) 20:17, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aight, im gonna start this with 2 things:

1: what is this “G10” thingy. I think it’s worth noting that I am very busy and am still adjusting from Quarantine a bit, so sorry if my memory doesn’t reach far back,

2: I sent the “pee” message as a stupid gag to showcase a “funny” image i made (wikipe-tan funny face swap thingy). “Pee” was a placeholder.

Finally yes i get that it’s problematic. I think everyone has made it clear to me by now. I want to utilize the server mainly to ask questions and/or discuss stuff about the wiki. I’ve tried to learn from a lot of my past mistakes.

@WeaponizingArchitecture I'll unban, but understand you'll be on thin ice. Please stick to the server's purpose and try to avoid gags and excessive short messages. -- ferret (talk) 14:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aight, sounds good. WeaponizingArchitecture | talk to me 15:13, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry...

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I am sorry for my actions on the Discord Wikipedia page and talk page. This is my formal apology to you. The conversation between us has gotten a bit heated and I wanted to apologize. I am not quite a person that takes my work being literally wiped off easily as in school(highschool) I tend to defend my work vigorously from copying, critique, suggestions not from teammates, etc. It was pretty late at night and I wanted to make a quick Wikipedia edit so I can claim to my friends I didn't just do nothing over this summer break. So, I just cobbled some sources together and edited it and called it a day. I have sort-of, figured out how to exactly edit Wikipedia via source code edit. But I still hate it as it feels like I'm writing critical code essential to humanity's survival. Anyways I am still obviously new, and I am a teenager trying to figure out the world and help it. And editing Wikipedia was one of them I found. But being a teenager means that I am going through puberty and emotional develop, I am not in the best state of mind right now, as I've lost a best friend but I've come to cope by editing Wikipedia. I am also sorry to call on you to be more open to newcomers, which I believe you are very busy with your life as an adult, and a highly important Wikipedia adim/editor. I was pretty pissed in the moment then but now I've cooled down mostly. So I came to your talk page to apologize for my actions. I hope we can repair our "relationship" as Wikipedia editors. Have a good day or night! --Randomdudewithinternet (talk) 03:52, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Ukrainian name is Dmytro, Dmitriy the Russian name. You do not speak Ukrainian, but you make changes that affect Ukrainian names. Why are you doing this?--Zubryckiy (talk) 10:43, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Zubryckiy I'm well aware of the Ukrainian spelling of his name. The problem is that on Wikipedia, we go by commonly used name in sources, especially in the case of celebrities who made use a stage or professional name. The name they are most known by, or represent themselves as. The last time someone was trying to change these names, I could find no secondary sources that used the Ukrainian spelling to back the change. But more importantly, Dmytro's own social media pages used Dmitriy. His Facbeook page, Twitter, etc, still used Dmitriy. When the individual themselves is presenting themselves as a particular spelling as their professional name, we will not change the spelling. If this has changed, please provide evidence on the article's talk page so we can form a consensus. -- ferret (talk) 13:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continued disruptive editing by User talk:212.115.224.254

Hi there, ferret. The above user just seems to don't mind any reverts made to their edits and just keeps on adding incorrect release dates for soundtrack albums without any summary or sources whatsoever. I saw that you'd already posted a message on their talk page regarding that but their most recent edit still goes back to yesterday adding more incorrect information. Could you please take a look and block him? thank you. paperpseudonym (talk) 11:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
