Double-cloth reversibility: accuracy thereof
I left a brief message on the double cloth talk page. I am not sure why you reverted my edit. It was simply dismissed as "inaccurate," and I would greatly appreciate it if you would care to address that. SpiralSource (talk) 14:56, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

A shortage of admins
Hi Roxy! Have you ever considered running for adminship? We need more admins; I can't count the number of times I've seen the same five admins at ANI. Minkai(rawr!)(see where I screwed up) 19:43, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- On what basis did you select me for suitability for adminship. I'm so very curious. -Roxy the dog. wooF 19:55, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Your frequent participation in noticeboards. Minkai(rawr!)(see where I screwed up) 23:12, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- I should get a raise. Drmies (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia
Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Associate Professor
Hanyang University

Talk page comment
I think you might have accidentally deleted your own Alternative medicine talk page comment when you restored the accidentally deleted comment of Hob Gadling? Harold the Sheep (talk) 04:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Nope
"It's just like the night of the long knives here" implies I'm a Nazi killing other Nazis. I don't think you thought that comment through. I'd appreciate your removing that comment and not making another one like it. Thanks, Levivich 14:26, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Nope, it is a Harold Macmillan reference. -Roxy the dog. wooF 14:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- The 1962 British "night of the long knives" is a reference to the Nazi one. I'll RPA it for you. Have a nice day. Levivich 14:45, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- I remember it. I was having a nice day until I saw the usual suspects in the lynch mob. Sad that you guys can pick on some of the best we have. -Roxy the dog. wooF 14:50, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- If you're old enough to remember 1962, you should have enough sense and experience to recognize a group of people using Wikipedia to self-promote; they are far from the best we have. Levivich 14:58, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Your comments reflect on you rather than them. You have a nice day too. -Roxy the dog. wooF 15:02, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, you should be ashamed of yourself. COI, promotion and canvassing don't apply if you agree with an editor. And if you disagree you're a Nazi that murders other Nazis, or part of a mob performing extrajudicial executions. It's plain to see. Also, if you disagree with someone, civility need not apply.

- Dont be a plonker all your life SFR, and dont come back here, thanks. -Roxy the dog. wooF 15:17, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Angle?
I had a discussion about categories with Johnpacklambert today. I hope that discussion continues after I am gone. That's not a "dispute" and I'm not looking for "an angle". His topic ban is what it is and his topic ban violations are indisputable. Don't make the mistake of thinking that I am out to "get" Johnpacklambert. He's doing this to himself.

Merry Christmas!
Hi Roxy! I'm glad to see you still popping up on my watchlist from time to time. You may not remember, but we first met many years ago when you were breaking up edit wars on Sarah Palin. You were actually a big help to me back then, when I was still learning the ropes, although you likely never knew it. I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for all you do for Wikipedia, and for your help in keeping articles BLP compliant. I hope you have a very happy holiday season, and may the coming year bring you happiness and joy. And, if you don't celebrate Christmas, then please take it as a Happy Hanukkah, a great Dhanu Sankranti, a blessed Hatsumode, a really good Saturday, or whatever holiday you want to insert there. Zaereth (talk) 08:21, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for this greeting. Sarah Palin??? I dont remember that at all, though I do remember how annoyingly strange she appeared to me, and disconnected from the real world. Frankly I hope you are better at dealing with BLP's than I am. Seriously, I'm not the greatest example of an editor to follow when learning the ropes. Seems like you didn't learn any habits from me though, and I'm very glad I was a help. Seasons greetings, -Roxy the dog. wooF 16:36, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia a great source of ignorance.
What Roxy the Dog is an exemplary example of the blindness and determined ignorance of the majority of people in the US. Why would someone prefer a Doctor of Medicine, taught to use drugs, over a doctor who want to use your body to heal itself!? Wake up folks! 24.254.130.77 (talk) 19:25, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Appeal to authority is what Wikipedia is all about. It is not the place to argue with what the authorities say. Further, Wikipedia accepts academic and scholarly authorities, not religious and dogmatic authorities. Anything else is original research. Rick Norwood (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Why are you deleting factual, relevant and verified information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredwsavage (talk • contribs) 11:34, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Discussion about editing an article should take place at the article talk page. Open a discussion there and I will respond.
- You should also sign your talk page posts with four tildes, like this ~~~~. thanks -Roxy the dog. wooF 11:39, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
