If you are going to edit war over something it would behoove you to make sure you are correct. For your future reference, Wikiprojects do not dictate content in articles they follow nor do they OWN them. I'm very sure of that as I am the coordinator of the primary project that follows Detroit Catholic Central High School and a very active member of the secondary project that follows it. Your behavior in this matter was abysmal. Please remove the posting you made at WT:NFL. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- @John from Idegon: do not tell me what to do to. Because you told me to do something, I won't. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 14:57, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Tony Alamo re: diminutive
Thanks for the heads up, but according to court documents, the birth name is Bernie, not Bernard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreldritch (talk • contribs) 04:05, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biographies/2017 archive#RfC: Clarification and/or change in how common hypocorisms (diminutives) are handled on first use of name (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 15:00, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
- WP:CONLIMITED. X4n6 (talk) 06:26, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- @X4n6: you could've easily come and joined the discussion, but you didn't. So, not my problem. As was pointed out in the discussion, it's pretty stupid to have such blatant diminutives in the lede, when it's clear as day that they go by the diminutive, as evidenced when the article name is the diminutive. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 15:30, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- "you could've easily come and joined the discussion, but you didn't. So, not my problem." Seriously? Let me show you how "stupid" that comment was: "You could have easily invited me to come and join the discussion, but you didn't. So, not my problem." You want to change a policy? Follow the procedure. Until then, that policy stands. The End. X4n6 (talk) 06:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- @X4n6: firstly, lack of a sense of humor much? It's called sarcasm and secondly, I never knew you existed, so yeah. By the way, lighten up, geez. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 15:38, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- You have much to learn about both humor and sarcasm. Especially, when they come off as unearned - and unnecessary - arrogance. But your clarification is noted. Happy editing. X4n6 (talk) 04:34, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Darryl Tapp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Special team. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A note of caution
On this diff [1] you used a script to change ISO dates to mdy. This is a type of change that is not allowed by WP:DATERET, as the ISO dates were in the references (not in prose), and were consistently ISO dates; this type of shift in date format would need to be discussed on the article's talk page to gain consensus for that change. I won't revert myself (I prefer non-ISO dates nowadays) but I wanted to caution you on this as such automatic changes can lead to a lot of disagreement (and even went to ArbCom in the past). --MASEM (t) 15:24, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Masem: you mean the yy-mm-dd that were in the references? The ones that should've been mm-dd-yy seeing as it was an American game by an American company? If that's not allowed, then why did they put it in, or not take it out? (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 15:42, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, that format. The strong national ties aspect wouldn't apply here as the ISO format is not tied to a nation; it would be the case if dmy dates were used for Spore that you definitely could argue the national ties aspect to switch, but from ISO to mdy is not appropriate use of that allowance. Again, I prefer the dates, I'm just cautioning that this can irritate the wrong editors if you are not careful. --MASEM (t) 16:08, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Masem: then they should really remove that. It seems rediculous that I would have to go through dozens of those, just so I can convert one or two prose dates. If that's how it is, what's the point in the tool? lol If nothing else having dates (anywhere) in numerical format only, doesn't look good. (Personally) It looks lazy. But that's just me. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 16:17, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- Generally, the tool is good to use when you know there's been a standard format but a few editors have added incorrect-formatted dates; it helps to quickly convert them. Or if there is a change in consensus per DATERET to change, then that's reasonable to. I totally agree nowadays that numerical dates don't look good (I used to prefer them), but we still accept them since there are some areas where this is the preferred date format, and there are editors that are extreme sticklers for their preferred date format. --MASEM (t) 18:02, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Masem: like you said "...there are some areas where this is the preferred date format...", then there shouldn't be a problem since the areas I've been doing it are in regards to things that are either American or British when the formats are Month spelled - date - year, or, date - month spelled out - year. I honestly don't see why someone would have a problem with that. lol. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 18:16, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

I suggest you learn how archive.org actually works.
Because you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Also, did you even read the article I linked? Mattwo7 (talk) 07:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- So you're aware that indexing doesn't just happen automatically as soon as a page is created? Because that doesn't seem to be the case. Allow me to educate you: Indexing happens via both web crawler bots and manual indexing. Web crawler bots aren't perfect you know, there are ways for them to miss a site and they don't always keep every site up to date properly, why is there such a huge gap between 2009 and 2010 on that page's archives if the site worked the way you seem to assume it does? According to the page here for web crawlers, it even says " A 2009 study showed even large-scale search engines index no more than 40-70% of the indexable Web" and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Also the guy's Linkedin account has the same logo for Vidme and that links to the Linkedin page for the current version of Vidme. Explain this. Mattwo7 (talk) 23:47, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker)@Mattwo7: The archive.org system works by accessing outdated websites that have been broken, has dead links, point to 404 errors or otherwise inaccessible. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 00:16, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- @KGirlTrucker81:, no, that's not what the Wayback Machine is meant for. Case in point: https://web.archive.org/web/*/en.wikipedia.com Obviously this is a website that is still active. Mattwo7 (talk) 00:26, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Mattwo: Yes, but if you click on the past months or dates captured, it brings back older versions of Wikipedia but try it with a dead link. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I've been doing 00:37, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

However, that won't work, because it is 10 characters longer than limit. So ... do you have to have all of this in your signature? For example, you're using bold twice, both around and inside the links.

Share your experience and feedback as a Wikimedian in this global survey
Hello! The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey. We want to know how well we are supporting your work on and off wiki, and how we can change or improve things in the future. The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Comma
How did you change a comma to a comma here? Interqwark talk contribs 21:48, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Interqwark: that was easy, I deleted the comma that was there, and then placed a comma after the next word. Now, if you meant why, it's because the way it was it read "Washington, D.C., {pause} area..." when the pause should've come after the word area, so that it reads "Washington, D.C. area {pause}". (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 00:07, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Toliver
I know but getting a ring hasn't been a criteria for the infobox. Whoever gets a ring is subjective on a team-by-team basis as far as I can tell. Michael Floyd apparently got a ring with the Patriots in 2016 and he was with the team for less games than Toliver was with the Bucs. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 02:10, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Your edit to Matt Barkley
You recently removed a link to the Arizona Cardinals on the page about Matt Barkley, my intial instinct was to undo the change since I didn't see any reason for the change, and there was no edit summary, but after seeing that you have a long history on Wikipedia I thought there must be a reason, so I have come to understand if there is any reasoning behind the changed that I missed. —The Editor's Apprentice (Talk•Edits) 04:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Cleveland Gladiators roster
A tag has been placed on Template:Cleveland Gladiators roster requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Reggie Fowler into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — SamX [talk · contribs] 23:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, if you look at my contributions during that time, you'll see that I didn't edit anything related to Reggie Fowler, certainly not Bitfinex (which I didn't know had a page until I saw your edit summary linking it). I also didn't take text from his page and put it anywhere else. (talk page stalker) CrashUnderride 00:10, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
