"Milind Tambe" Wikipedia entry

Hi! Wrt "Milind Tambe" Wikipedia entry, I have suggested that if the page goes back to March 2019 (I had not touched the page before then), and then I suggest edit requests, would that help remove the conflict of interest tags? Milind tambe (talk) 20:52, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Block user, sock puppet, cross wiki vandalism

Pls block Kiszek, who is the recent sock of LTA Cheng123xx 202.75.83.59 (talk) 02:00, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That user has no contribution history, deleted or otherwise. If they are a sock, please report them to the appropriate LTA investigation. ZsinjTalk 02:02, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Englishman

Hello there. I was just wanting to be sure that I did the right thing in this debacle. Seeing a talkpage like that was rather a new experience for me. Thanks, Schminnte (talk contribs) 21:02, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Absolutely. They were misusing their talk page and you correctly reverted the inappropriate content. Thanks for all of your contributions! ZsinjTalk 21:09, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it's no big deal, but there wasn't actually a "missing word". I assume you're American, as am I, but the phrase "in future" is the way Brits would phrase it, whereas Americans generally would say "in the future". Just thought you might like to know.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:13, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that’s really insightful and I didn’t realize that was a difference between them. Sorry about that! ZsinjTalk 01:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I only know these things because I watch so many British movies and TV series. Another similar turn of phrase: Brits say "in hospital" rather than "in the hospital". You gotta admit it's more efficient. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 01:12, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely! It’s also a completely different meaning that we don't differentiate in American English. I’ve erroneously changed it from “from now on” to “sometime eventually” and knowing this I think it’s better changed back! (Face palm) ZsinjTalk 01:16, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I dunno, I've read some about what the two phrases mean substantively, and I'm not sure how settled it is as it's mostly been on blogs. I don't think it matters much in terms of the policy as I think either way the point is clear.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might need a talkpage block; I think I got in just before you blocked them trying to calm their attitude, but they've delightfully decided to respond immaturely. I also make that five or so personal attacks in, like, 20 minutes, FTR. Kingsif (talk) 00:48, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Done. Thanks for the message. ZsinjTalk 00:50, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure they'll calm down soon, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 01:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

/64

Hi Zsinj, you may be interested in WP:/64 :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:55, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, I am familiar, just sometimes forgetful to go for the /64. Thanks for the reminder! ZsinjTalk 22:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding back the demographic footnotes at Brevard County, Florida. I asked the editor why they were deleting these, but they haven't been back. About 20 articles were messed up. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, that’s some cleanup. Looks like each edit needs checked and thankfully the fix is just copying the references back in from the old revision. I watch Brevard County, so it was noticed quickly. Many articles don’t have someone actively working on them. Good catch! ZsinjTalk 10:36, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mean to dump a bunch of work in your lap. I can chip away at it too. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is WP:NODEADLINE. :-) There is always work to be done! Happy editing, ZsinjTalk 00:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They have all been corrected. In a couple cases someone else reverted the removals first. ZsinjTalk 00:55, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind extending the block to indefinite? This user is an LTA - see the history of Bob Stefanowski, for example. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 22:46, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another admin indef’d. It was indeed a misclick. :-) ZsinjTalk 22:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

In regards to your last message, Blyukher Vasily was not the ,,Red Napoleon". That nickname is actually for another Marshal of the USSR, Mikhail Tuchacevsky. Sebastian Sălătiuan (talk) 18:34, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know! However, the cited reference verifies the nickname, even if it’s just “foreign media” that gave it to him. If that’s not sufficient, that’s worthy of discussing on the article’s Talk page. ZsinjTalk 18:43, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Attingham Park

Why have you removed good faith edits i was working on? I hadn't finished and what i was adding was cited and relivant. You provided no explanation and i am confused 62.254.9.173 (talk) 20:01, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to continue to work sincere on the page if that's OK? 62.254.9.173 (talk) 20:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. I only saw the most recent edit and didn’t realize you had made others. Great work adding to that article! ZsinjTalk 00:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have broken the three-revert rule.

You have broken the three-revert rule (WP:3RR) and continue to re-insert WP:OR vandalism that is not supported by the references:
