Updating a previous edit summary

You can't actually update a previous edit summary, as you discovered. But instead of "deleting random stuff" as you did in this edit, instead, please use a dummy edit. You can then use the edit summary field to add your new, or modified, edit summary that you wanted to use on the earlier edit. When I use a dummy edit, I usually start it out with the word Comment, and wikilink it to the DUMMY page. Here's an example you could copy next time:

[[WP:DUMMY|Comment:]] Amending previous edit summary, to add "Proposed for deletion."

or whatever it is you want to say or change. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 22:45, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! Dronebogus (talk) 22:49, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Returning users

Are you a returning user, by any chance? At your Rfd nominations, you sound experienced, but your first contribution under this userid is from only a week ago. It's no problem if you edited before, but in order to avoid attracting the attention of admins looking for sockpuppets, you should probably disclose the fact. I'm not an admin, and not an expert on this topic, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to name your previous id (i.e., don't out yourself), just state that you had one, and that you're no longer using it, and won't anymore. I think that's enough. If you've lost the password to it, you can inform an admin, and they can shut it down. If you want me to, I can look further into it, and find a link to the guideline that explains exactly what to do. Thanks, and happy editing! Mathglot (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2020 (UTC) This looks like the place to start: WP:ALTACCN. Mathglot (talk) 00:23, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My old account was IP user [redacted], which I disclosed on my userpage. Should I just add a userbox and a link as well, or do I need to tell an admin or something? I’m not good at technical stuff like account management. Dronebogus (talk) 02:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, as a former IP user I don't think you have to do anything. In fact, I'd remove the IP itself from your message above, and from the user page if I were you. It's not prohibited to have it, and you can leave it in if you want, but I wouldn't. It's enough if you say you edited anonymously (means the same thing as "as an IP user"), but you don't have to, and probably shouldn't give the IP itself.

Burke county map

Hi, I saw you reverted my addition of a Burke county map as an external link to Burke County, North Dakota. I checked, and the link works. Is there a reason you reverted it?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 18:19, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t remember ever seeing or editing that article before. Do you have me confused with someone else? Dronebogus (talk) 04:22, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ravana

Hello Dronebogus, Greetings! Happy to see your message in my Talk page regarding the article Ravana.

In Hindu mythology, Ravana was born to great sage Vishrava and demon princess Kaikeshi. He had inherited with scholar qualities of Brahmin and strength of demon But, Ravan and his brother Kumbhakarna continued to mature into a strong rakshasha under guidance of his grandfather (mother's side) 'Sumali' who was king of the Demons at that time.

That's why, I mentioned that Demon tendency was filled with Ravana. I hope this answers your question. . if you are not satisfied with the answers, I will be very happy to continue our discussion.Divyam Seth (talk) 04:32, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of longest-living United States senators

this is just a bad idea all around, and that's why I've reverted it:

1) It's not that terrible of a personal attack. I mean, seriously? It's obviously someone lashing out, but have you seen a bad personal attack?
2) It's in a closed discussion. Sandstein, who's a seasoned admin, decided to leave it there.
3) You're a participant in the discussion, who took the opposite view. And...
4) It's up for DRV right now.
The cynic in me might suspect that there was an effort on your part to make "the other side" look bad, since folks at DRV are going to be drawn to review that !vote based on Sandstein's closing statement. But we're AGF'ing here, so we're not going to suggest that, but rather suggest that in the future you be very circumspect to avoid things that could appear to cynics like me like you might possibly be trying to bias a DRV review. Better all around, I'm sure of it. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 07:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since we tend to agree, opinion please

Hey Dronebogus, wondering how you would justify having List of breweries in the United States (and especially for each state like List of breweries in Montana, which the whole article is a huge joke... apparently we need to list every brewery [notable or not] and list every beer they sell in list format) on WP... I don't even know how these exist on WP to be honest. These just seem absurdly trivial, are flat out not notable and unecyclopedic. Though, I'm sure there's someone out there that reeeeally wants to know this stuff![sarcasm] Like, List of wineries, breweries, and distilleries in New Jersey or List of water parks in the Americas (this should be a category)... why not just make List of grocery stores in Alaska or List of hotels in Hawaii. Just seems like such a slippery slope. Let's just list everything! What a joke tbh. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:57, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • @PerpetuityGrat I can’t think of anything personally but stuff like this can have weird inclusion criteria. Just list all that stuff if you don’t think it’s notable and let the community decide. Dronebogus (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • @PerpetuityGrat UPDATE On closer inspection I think the booze lists are fine because they cover more information than just “here’s a bunch of breweries” and aren’t random “x + y” categories since they’re simply divided up geographically to avoid overwhelming the main article. A rename to simply “Brewing [etc.] in [location]” wouldn’t hurt, though. I’ve nominated the water parks thing however since it looks very bad indeed. Dronebogus (talk) 19:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dronebogus, here is another one I just found... seems like a literal trivia page to me: List of Easter eggs in Tesla products. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:34, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack

Why did you restore your obvious ad-hominem-attack at the AfD discussion? I did not perceive it as "mild". Renewal6 (talk) 18:58, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Renewal6 I was pointing out that you were accusing me of the very thing you yourself did. It’s not Ad Hominem if you’re the one going off-topic to criticize someone’s behavior. Dronebogus (talk) 19:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your 22 comments at the AfD discussion are a fact. It concerns the very subject of the discussion, it has nothing to do with going off-topic. Renewal6 (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Renewal6 Yes, it concerns the discussion itself, but it’s not the topic of the discussion. The topic is the article and whether or not it should be deleted. Dronebogus (talk) 19:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • I disagree with you. Every comment concerns or should concern the topic of the discussion. I suggest I remove my sentence " Your behaviour "may be considered a form of disruptive editing" as per WP:BLUDGEON." and your sentence "Accusing me of disruptive editing is also certainly interesting as you managed to get yourself blocked for a brief period just a few days after joining Wikipedia for doing just that." without inserting "Personal attack removed". Would that be acceptable to you? Renewal6 (talk) 19:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't seem like a personal attack Renewal6, but rather focus on content, not the contributor. I think you should learn the difference there. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 20:15, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please self-redact

At ANI, you've added a second nasty personal comment in response to a different comment of LBs. If you feel it is necessary to argue with those two comments (I can't imagine why you would, they are not going to have any impact on the eventual outcome of the discussion), please do it in a more appropriate way, without the personal remarks. --JBL (talk) 21:26, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @User:JayBeeEll Could you please direct me to the comment in question? And when you do could you please explain why Lightburst gets to call me an arsonist but some variation on “stop rambling” gets this? Dronebogus (talk) 21:28, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

November 2021

Please stop your hostile commentary at User talk: Andrew Davidson. It is unseemly to keep poking at a long term editor who has just received a significant sanction. You are making yourself look bad and that is not a good thing. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:32, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Cullen328 I get that WP:GRAVEDANCING is considered very poor behavior, but I’m not trying to “rub it in” that Andrew got topic ban. I’m being blunt with him that arguing about his clear-cut sanction is pointless and his talk page is ridiculously long and needs archiving, things a “long-term editor” should know by this point. Long-term disruptive editors with attitude issues and ego-inflating personality cults shouldn’t be handled with kid gloves over a topic ban from their singular area of long-term disruption. Dronebogus (talk) 06:38, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I’ve also redacted the more snarky part I wrote in the second section and apologized for it. Sorry if I’ve been getting short-tempered lately, I’ve just been badgered by a bunch of disruptive, uncivil inclusionist hardliners lately (including the ARS) for little reason and I’m rather exasperated by it. Dronebogus (talk) 06:45, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      Generally, you shouldn't change talk page posts in that way after they have been replied to. Instead, you should strike anything you don't want to stand by, and add clarify your position with a new statement. Having said that, in this instance I don't suggest you change what you did, because I don't imagine Andrew needs any more notifications spam from his talk page right now. Girth Summit (blether) 06:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      I appreciate User:Dronebogus's self recognition of stress and willingness to offer softer wording. It's a good thing when one admits their own part in any situation. BusterD (talk) 04:12, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Following what my superiors both Cullen328 and Girth Summit have told you, look I totally get it, Grave dancing is totally human nature and it takes putting your mind to subjection and extreme discipline to avoid or rise above it. It takes a while to master but it is definitely achievable and worth it. Celestina007 (talk) 19:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Celestina007, I am not your superior. I am your colleague. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:45, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not one for grave dancing myself, but it seems that neither of the main 3 editors involved in the ANI dispute has taken anything useful away from it. So whatever issues they have had since then (or will continue to have) are totally on them. If you want a perfect example check out 7&6=thirteen's vote in the Arabeyes AfD where he said references posted by Dream Focus that don't even discuss the topic of the article are "excellent" and "easily make it pass GNG." While at the same time he's acting like this whole thing is just an anti-ARS witch hunt and calling other users thin-skinned. That kind of nonsense is exactly why both of them were reported to ANI. Like Dronebogus said, handling them with kid gloves hasn't done jack and reporting them doesn't appear to have helped at all. So should we really care about grave dancing or whatever at this point? --Adamant1 (talk) 03:42, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let somebody else worry about any possible t-bans breaches, from the two editors-in-question. Ya don't need the stress, which comes with 'making sure' they adhere to it. GoodDay (talk) 14:37, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPA

Information icon Hello, I'm JPxG. I noticed that you made a comment on the page User talk:Jimbo Wales that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please avoid making comments such as this one (i.e. "Why are so self-important as to think that your personal disputes warrant the Immortal God Emperor of Wikipedia’s direct attention?") jp×g 13:17, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JPxG: since when can supposedly "un-civil" comments made on talk pages be removed? I'm pretty sure there was an ANI complaint recently about someone doing that where people said talk page comments, even un-civil ones, should either be left alone, scrubbed by an admin if need be, at least removed by whoever's talk page it is if they think it doesn't belong there. I take it your not an admin or Jimbo Wales. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:22, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Adamant1: I'm not aware of any talk page comments that I removed (certainly not this one, which is still there). As for the wording of {{uw-npa1}}, I believe this refers to WP:RPA, a policy which says "Derogatory comments about other editors may be removed by any editor" (although, as you said, there is quite a bit of contention about when and where it's appropriate to do so). jp×g 08:53, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm why would you leave a comment saying "it may have been removed" if no one removed it? That sorta seems like an odd thing to do. I guess your right about WP:RPA, but like you say it's not really clear when that can be done without it being massively contentious or inappropriate. Personally, I'm for it in cases of clearly racist, homophobic, sexist or other bigoted comments, but outside of that it's probably better to leave comments alone. Anyway, no harm no foul in this case. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:24, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In my view it’s also okay when it’s obviously vulgar, profane, or purely insulting terminology (think of the bottom of the argument hierarchy— “you are an idiot”/“you are an asshat”) even if it’s not bigoted per se. Dronebogus (talk) 11:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe. If someone called me an asshat and I'd probably just laugh and leave it at that, but I can see where it could be insulting. Someone called me "Adamass" one time and I didn't like it that much. I never removed the comment though. Stuff like that just reflects badly on the other person, but its probably not going to turn people off of contributing to the project or make it look bad. So there's no reason to remove it. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Richie333, I have not been bludgeoning the debate. I’ve made like three comments today and they were civil and directly related to me. I get that I was technically “warned” but it felt more like you were having a rhetorical “angry wiki-dad” moment rather than a formal warning. Dronebogus (talk) 18:54, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I will remove the block if (and only if) you promise me to stop posting on ANI, and with the agreement that you can be reblocked by any administrator if you do. You have said everything you need to have said, and now you just need to let consensus play out and do something else. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:59, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with that. I think editors have a right to discuss issues that involve them. I got being accused of “bludgeoning” for posting the same type of message over and over during discussions, but being accused of doing so by occasionally contributing to a discussion that directly involves me doesn’t make sense. Your “offer” is a distinction without a difference. I feel like you’re just frustrated with recent events involving me at ANI and don’t actually care about what’s going on and why. Dronebogus (talk) 19:05, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a collaborative project which means there must be compromises, when Ritchie333 says I’d unblock you if you agree not to post at ANI again, I presume (per the temporal block) they mean for a period of 24 hours which isn’t too much to ask. Celestina007 (talk) 19:15, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PS: FWIW, when your block from ANI expires? Don't re-insert yourself into said-discussion. Keep the focus off of you. GoodDay (talk) 17:05, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I concur with GoodDay. You should stay out of the ANI complaint at this point and let it play out on it's own. The closer will consider the value of the arguments made. Same goes for the ARS Public School AfD. Your not doing either any favors by commenting on everything you disagree with. Neither are about you. Seriously, take the multiple hints and leave them alone. --Adamant1 (talk) 23:26, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair question that unfortunately I don't have a good answer to. I've been accused of bludgeoning in the past, more then once by people who had posted more then me in the exact some discussions. So I think it's more something that is used as a way to cast aspersions and discredit the other person then it is a legitimate complaint. The only reason I brought it up to you is because I knew people would use how much you've posted as a way to undermined your argument. Which is what ended up happening. So that's kind of where my line is. "Has this person commented enough in this discussion that it can be used against them?" I did cross that line myself, but it didn't have the same weight as it did for you. Since I didn't start the ANI complaint. Plus, most of the time I was responding to comments that were made directly at me. Generally, I'll respond to someone who says something about me that's clearly wrong even if it's "bludgeoning," because it's kind of a lose lose at that point. I massively dislike troll baiting style dishonesty. I could probably do better about that though.
BTW, someone is already trying to have the ARS_Public_School AfD overturned to keep because someone in the AfD insulted the students or something. I bring it up because it's a perfect example of why I think your proposal in the ANI complaint shouldn't be accepted. They will strawman you all day about not accepting outcomes Etc. Etc. and use it to justify not sanctioning 13, but then their ultimately the ones actually trying to have a clear consensus overturned. I'm sure one from ARS is going to complain about it either. So while I think your proposal was noble, there's zero point in giving them an olive branch if they aren't going to reciprocate it or will just take advantage it by continuing things in your absence. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:04, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note re wiki shepherd

Thanks for your great edits and additions to the page for WikiShepherd! Glad to have you in the flock! Just don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes! Lol! I got a million of 'em! Lol!!! 😆😆😆👍👍🙂

Anyway, one small question, I tried to add a user box to the page, but the code doesn't seem to work the usual way. Could you please take a look? Thanks!! ---Sm8900 (talk) 🌍 14:00, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas!

Daranios is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:Flaming/MC2008}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

As someone who also knows about the effects of dihydrogen monoxide I wanted to let you know I like your page. Please be aware that whatever I may have written in disagreement, it's all arguments in pursuit of the good cause, never meant to attack anyone as a person. Have a good holiday time and all the best for the future! Daranios (talk) 14:45, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your user page around Wikipe-tan and had great fun reading it. Appreciate all the humor! And best wishes to you for the holiday season. 痛 (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You weighed in at Index of Brazil-related articles with an interesting option "to keep nominating individual articles until there’s an unquestionable consensus to delete the format". I had no idea that woefully incomplete index existed and certainly that there were many more like it. I am usually against blanket AFD's but a clear consensus would change things. However, some discussion[where?] would seem to make the suggestion more practical. I would ping the other editors if there is a place for discussion.
Would you have a suggestion to point to these problematic indexes and where discussions might take place. Thank you for any suggestions, -- Otr500 (talk) 12:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipe-tan

Can you please refrain from making edits that involve the images while we are having a discussion about the images? In my personal opinion, blowing up images to crazy sizes is going to detract from other things on the page. Hold off for now is all i'm saying... thanks! - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:32, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

COVID project userboxes

Hi, many people have designed their own fun COVID-related userboxes, but if they're not a COVID project userbox, please don't break our own templates to randomly add userboxes to project pages (even then, don't break templates and don't add userboxes to project pages...). I don't know if you were genuinely trying to suggest the COVID project adds a tongue-in-cheek "only idiots drink horse dewormer" userbox, or if you were vandalising the project page, but please don't. If you have reasonable COVID project userbox ideas, you're welcome to discuss them at the project talk page. Kingsif (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Odd edit

You may have wondered about my odd edit and summary here. I was on my cellphone and didn't notice the heading levels of the following sections, so didn't realize that was an introductory "lead" for a whole section. On my phone it looked just like a weird and out-of-place comment that duplicated other information but without any source. Since I was going to bed, I figured I'd deal with it today. Now that I'm on my PC, I can see my error, so thanks for correcting it. -- Valjean (talk) 15:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your listing at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 31

Hi Dronebogus,

I noticed your nomination at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 31. Did you intentionally put the tag and such on the talk page rather than on White genocide theory? Unless you specifically want the talk page deleted (which I think is unlikely) then it should be the "article" which gets tagged and listed at RFD. A7V2 (talk) 01:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I changed it on Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 31 and tagged the page. I think it's good to leave the tag on the talk page now, they should be kept, deleted, etc together anyway. A7V2 (talk) 02:24, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NPA

Hi - I appreciate the sentiment, but NPA really does apply to everyone. There isn't a threshold of unpleasantness beyond which personal attacks are permitted - they're just not permitted, hence my revert. Sorry if you think I'm being officious, but it's a slippery slope once things like that are permitted some of the time. Girth Summit (blether) 10:22, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Twinkle usage

Hi, I've noticed that you used the Twinkle tool to revert 3 changes I made to the Decentraland article. Since no description was added I would like to know what was the reasoning behind the revert. The 3 changes reverted were: removing part of a description of a CSI episode (keeping only the relevant information: the episode includes a virtual world); turning the enumeration of 4 different platforms into the generalization "platforms", althoug the source name those platforms is not clear why to name them, specially if no further information is added on the differences between each platform and Decentraland; and adding a template linking to a discussin.
