This user's talk page is monitored by talk page watchers. Some of them even talk back. Their input is welcome, and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

It is 10:24 AM where this user lives.

Note: Please check the above template for what time it is in my location before sending a message as I may be asleep.

Note 2: When it is April fool's day, DO NOT TROUT ME as an April Fool's joke. In the past I had a trout button which I removed due to persistent abuse of it. If you trout me on April Fool's Day I will revert you and ask that you do not do it again.

Note 3: Any comments here regarding a vandal or from a blocked user that I was WP:AGF will be archived once i ensure there is nothing left to say per WP:DENY.

Note 4: If I remove your comment and you add it back, I will revert you and warn you for doing so. If you do it again after that then I will report you for harassment. This crap has gone on for way too long and I've become less and less tolerant of it. Removing comments from my own talk page is perfectly allowable per WP:OWNTALK.

Considering retirement

This section is pinned and will not be automatically archived.

Hello all. I'm sure some of you will have noticed that I have placed {{considering retirement}} on my talk page. I have my reasons for this, tho it is nothing that necessarily involves me. Technically it involves everyone editing or viewing Wikipedia. Due to some circumstances regarding the higher-higher-ups (as in beyond admins) I'm not sure if I want to remain an editor on Wikipedia. If I have known you on Wikipedia for a while and you really wish to know more details then let me know here and I will send you an email with the details. I do not wish the details to be shared publicly here on Wikipedia or on the Wikipedia Discord server, or anywhere else involving Wikipedia and the WMF (excluding other Wiki's running on the mediawiki software that are otherwise not associated with the WMF). As the template says, nothing is set in stone at the moment, though it is something I am considering. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update January 6, 2023: Retirement is still something I am considering, however it's more just a thought in the back of my mind that comes up every once in a while. There's not really a template for that so the considering retirement template will stay unless a more appropriate one can be found, as will this section. My thoughts have not changed much, however it's no longer something that's at the forefront of my mind. Maybe I simply just needed a vacation, away from Wikipedia (and most of the internet in general, tho I was still using the internet for things like YouTube and online features in games) which resulted in this update. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That seems a shame. As long as you have been enjoying editing here and as log as you have been abiding by the rules I see no reason for you to allow other people to control your behaviour. Since I have not seen any divergence from the rules it must be that you are not quite enjoying yourself. By all means take a wiki break. I took one for several years. It was meant to be for a few months but I had burned out and lost the fun. For me, the fun is back. I hope it returns for you, too.

I feel a sense of loss, since we have just met, but your staying because I ask would be your allowing me to control you. So stay, for as long as you want, and return when you want if you leave. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would love for other people to not control my behavior, however I don't really have a choice. If you'd like I will email you more details as said are not something I want public here on Wikipedia. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:41, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to send it I will read it. It is very rare that I respond by email. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 17:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the points you make in your email. I know others have felt those things before. What they have found is that it generally all comes good in the end.

Out of deference to you and in accordance with the rules, I may not reveal, even by my answers, any of the actual points in your email 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:19, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I may choose to reveal them in the future. But for now they remain private via email. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:20, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I have any advice for you, it is to choose to ignore the things you emailed me about, simply because nor you nor I can affect them. If building the encyclopaedia is enough fun then the rest of whatever it is you sent me can safely be ignored. This is why I concentrate on building the encyclopaedia by reviewing by writing, be improving, by offering article for deletion, etc etc. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 23:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not something that's easy to do considering how much it can affect me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 23:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you can stay Blaze Wolf. You were the one of the first editors I interacted with at the Teahouse, and you gave me a lift when I was a struggling newbie who didn't even know how to upload an image. If you would like to talk about something, feel free to email or DM me on Discord ‡ The Night Watch ω (talk) 01:12, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blaze Wolf! I saw the considering retirement above, and though I would understand, I hope you get to a place where you can choose to stay. You're a valuable editor on this project and you've been a big help to me, as well as others! Like I said, I would totally understand, but I sincerely hope to see you stay.

I know that retirement may seem like a bad thing, Blaze Wolf, but it may mean a chance to look back at history. Speaking of, the Reverie Battles (that were archived in the Legends: Arceus wiki) were part of the Daybreak update, so I had to include them. - (12546a) 11:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Splatoon 3

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Splatoon 3 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of LunaEatsTuna -- LunaEatsTuna (talk) 20:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet! ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:23, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if you'll stay up until midnight or 1 A.M. waiting for the reviews... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Tails Wx 23:46, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't because it wouldn't be midnight/1 A.M. for me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

American English ping

Discussion moved from Talk:American English:

Why exactly was I pinged? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:04, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wolfdog: Pinging, cause I don't see why I was pinged. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I pinged you because you're a frequent editor at American English. Wolfdog (talk) 14:44, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wolfdog: Oh. I'm not exactly doing much other than reverting disruptive edits. I don't know or understand IPA so I wouldn't be of much help. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 14:46, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, OK. Sorry -- just pinging frequent editors. No worries then. Wolfdog (talk) 14:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Splatoon 3

The article Splatoon 3 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Splatoon 3 for comments about the article, and Talk:Splatoon 3/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of LunaEatsTuna -- LunaEatsTuna (talk) 17:41, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

👏👏👏

Congratulations on your GA! And I believe it's your first! Tails Wx 17:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! And yes it is my first! I've nominated it for a DYK so hopefully that goes well. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:53, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations for your first GA, Blaze Wolf! Well done. S0091 (talk) 17:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you S0091! I figured this would be a good article for my first GA since I created it (I know it doesn't show that, however if you see what non-talk pages I've created, you'll see Draft:Splatoon 3) and it's one of my favorite games to play. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh shoot, I forgot to nominate my GA for a DYK...maybe I'll do so in the next 2 days. Anyways, congrats! Tails Wx 17:58, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aiming for FA? The Night Watch (talk) 18:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Night Watch, FA's need very hard work IMO! I might nominate an article someday for FA for sure! :) Tails Wx 19:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might be something to look out for on the GA if you end up nominating it for DYK; might get a nice four award as well... Schminnte (talk • contribs) 19:25, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tails Wx, Hurricane Henri might be a candidate! Ask an experienced wikifriend to help out, and take notes on the writing from similar articles (Point 1A of the WP:FACR is the trickiest part IMO) and I'm sure it will pass. The Night Watch (talk) 20:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, The Night Watch! I’ll sure follow it! :) Tails Wx 20:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I'll probably go for an FA sometime in the future. I'll probably wait until all the DLC has released though. I thought i had already added this reply but apparently not. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I woyld like to echo the congrats. Nice work. NW1223<Howl at me•My hunts> 18:59, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats from me as well! Schminnte (talk • contribs) 19:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Super Mario Movie premise

Yoooooooo bro what's up? I'm 'round here these time to ask you for a piece of advice. Since RT (reminder: RT is actually owned by Comcast, who owns Universal, who owns Illumination, who made the Mario Movie) published the film's premise, should an editor add the premise or leave it like it is? I wanna some advice from good ol' Wikipedians, so please answer as fastest as possible. Your pal, SupraMerioBros. (talk) 00:01, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leave it. From what I see it's been way too closely paraphrased. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 00:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh alright. Thanks! SupraMerioBros. (talk) 00:04, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Splatoon 3

Hello! Your submission of Splatoon 3 at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Area of Balearic Islands

Can you revert the area of the Balearic Islands? Because it used to have no decimal, and now it does. It used to say 4,992 sq km, with no decimal whatsoever, and now it does (says 4,992.38 sq km). I also see no such source to support that change. Can you change it back? (And contribution was made by Locked Empire.) Thank you. 2601:280:4F81:4490:BCD5:4921:1409:7FE (talk) 01:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would, however I can't see any source at all for the area. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:30, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks...

...for understanding my revert on the essay. I figure the dark-boldfaced paragraph goes well aesthetically with the "shadow" theme, especially being next to the Moon gif to its right. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:19, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I figured you just didn't know that you could use the nutshell template and figured I'd try it for you, but I wasn't so set on it that I would be frustrated if you reverted me. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:08, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, about that!

Listen, sir. I wanted to edit the sequel to PAW Patrol: The Movie. The spelling was wrong, and I wasn't doing anything wrong. 151.226.196.250 (talk) 19:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You did more than just edit the spelling. You added unsourced info. I'm sure the spelling is fine so you can add that back. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:40, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you say "Add that back?" 151.226.196.250 (talk) 19:45, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. You can redo your spelling change cause I don't see that being incorrect, however the unsourced info needs to stay removed unless you add it with a source. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:46, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being understanding and cooperative! :) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 19:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
