3rd amendment

Hi Kevin! Hope you're doing well, all things considered. I've been working on Engblom v. Carey—one of the only federal 3rd amendment cases—and thought you might be interested in helping out. There's been a renewed interest in the 3rd amendment recently (it went from 200 to 10k hits overnight last week), and it's a rare case which might be fun to get to FA. Let me know if you're interested, but I completely understand if you're too busy though! Hopefully things will be more stable by the fall and you're keeping safe. — Wug·a·po·des​ 06:20, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Wugapodes: Hey, it's terrific to hear from you! I am actually traveling right now, which as you might imagine is a somewhat difficult task at the moment. Give me a week, though, and I'll look it over – it'd be really fun to work with you Kevin (alt of L235 · t · c) 15:53, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Totally understand. My lease is up in a month, so I'm dreading having to move all my stuff in the current environment. Feel free to help when you can, if anything a fresh pair of eyes would be useful for making sure it's on the right track. Safe travels! — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Wugapodes, if you're willing to have me along, I'd be interested in helping - I was actually just reading that article the other day while trying to explain Incorporation of the Bill of Rights to some friends. creffett (talk) 16:09, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Creffett: Of course! All help is appreciated. — Wug·a·po·des​ 19:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request an indefinite block

For Kevin Funcle (talk · contribs). This is not merely edit warring over content, it's a racist/white supremicist agenda to remove sourced content they don't like. I'm happy to go to ANI with the request, but wanted to contact you first. Thanks, 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 22:41, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Radical RFC close

Since when are we so prescriptive with the MOS, especially when there's such a clear contingent that want both ways to be available? This was a bad close, and Beland is just plowing ahead with these completely unnecessary changes. I know very few people care about this, but it's such BS for someone who does. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Deacon Vorbis: You have a policy-based reason for me to discard or lend less weight to the views of the supporters of the proposal? Kevin (alt of L235 · t · c) 00:03, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTAVOTE? WP:CREEP? MOS:STYLERET? And there's a longstanding principle that the MOS should be no more prescriptive than it really needs to be. And the one person who thinks a change like means there's a mandate that it must be done is just bulldozing ahead without knowing what he's doing and is just making everything worse. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 00:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your note and I have given it consideration but I stand by my assessment that my closure at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics § Radical RFC comments accurately reflects consensus. Further review should be at AN. Best, Kevin (alt of L235 · t · c) 00:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
