Re: your recent edits to West Ford

The 11 "Citation needed" maintenance tags you added earlier today seemed in-toto like some kind of WP:DRIVEBY... so there are now 5 left. Shearonink (talk) 16:01, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback Shearonink I'm still pretty new and honestly hearing this helps me grow and mature as an editor. I'll admit this article was kind of tricky for me hence why I added the tag asking for experts to weigh in. I think the mistake I made was viewing each statement as something that needed to have a source instead of taking a more holistic approach, I think I came to conclusion as the article had some problems with citations and flow in earlier drafts. Dr vulpes (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Use of AWB to make inconsequential edits

Hello Dr vulpes, while reviewing your WP:PERM/PCR request, I noticed that over the past few weeks you have made a substantial amount of edits with AWB that have no effect on the rendered page, e.g. removing whitespace ([1][2]) or replacing redirects ([3][4]). I wanted to remind you that one of the rules of AWB states:

Do not make insignificant or inconsequential edits. An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit. If in doubt, or if other editors object to edits on the basis of this rule, seek consensus at an appropriate venue before making further similar edits.

In my view, it seems that many of your recent edits violate this rule. This is a bit disruptive because these edits will often clutter page histories and other editors' watchlists while bringing very little benefit to the encyclopedia. In the future, before submitting an edit with AWB, please ensure that the edit will actually have a substantive impact on the page. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 01:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out and giving me a heads up about my editing behavior. Yeah I see how this happened and kind of got away from me. I've been using AWB to go though batches of articles to kind of evaluate them to see if there were things I could do to improve them or if they would be articles I felt comfortable making edits to. At some point I figured if I was going to be hunting down parts of articles I was interested in and spending time getting a feel for things instead of making edits I might as well be productive. I see the error in this logic, how this sort of became a slippery slope for me as an editor, and I will correct it going forward. Again thank you for taking the time to point this out to me and nudging me back in the right direction. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 01:17, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Flora without conservation status

Hi, I appreciate your efforts adding conservation statuses to plant articles.

What is your intended purpose with Category:Flora without conservation status?

I assume you intend it to be an editor-focused (not reader-focused) maintenance category, since you have included it under Category:WikiProject Plants articles. If it a maintenance category, it should have {{Maintenance category|hidden=yes}}, so that it is only displayed to users who are logged in to Wikipedia and have chosen to see categories that are hidden by default.

Most plants (and organisms in general) have not been assigned a conservation status by any entity. If there is to be a maintenance category for articles that lack a conservation status, it should only be applied to articles where it could be expected that a conservation status has actually been assigned. I would expect that most North American plants have been assigned a TNC/NatureServe status. And I would expect that there aren't any North American species that have a status assigned by anybody else (ESA, IUCN) that don't also have a TNC status.

If "Category:Flora without conservation status" is going to be a maintenance category of Wikipedia articles to which an existing TNC status could/should be added, it should be renamed to something more precise such as "Category:Flora without expected TNC conservation status". Plantdrew (talk) 04:12, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey Plantdrew thanks for reaching out and raising this issue to me. Yeah after taking a step back it should be a maintenance category. I'm using it to make the whole process of adding conservation statuses easier with AWB and a proposed bot. I'll go add the tag now, sorry for letting that slip through the cracks, I'll try to be more mindful going forward. I had thought about making the category something like "Category:Flora without expected TNC conservation status" but wasn't really sure if there would be a difference between different classification system so I just went with something generic. I'll rename it now and take care of the other subcategories as well. Again thanks for letting me know about my mistake and for the advice on making a maintenance category, I'm still getting a feel for things and goof up from time to time. If you have any other ideas or suggestions I'm all ears! Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 05:16, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Posted the request for renaming the category. I'll let you know if anything comes up. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 05:48, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Plantdrew just wanted to let you know that the process for merging these categories into Category:Flora without expected TNC conservation status is finished. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 18:13, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations!!

Excellent work, Dr vulpes! NPP needs you! Atsme 💬 📧 14:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks @Atsme! I really enjoyed this training, it forced me to really think deeply about why the rules are in place and how they affect the articles and our community. Your feedback was excellent and helped me get a better understanding of things when I got confused. 10/10 would do this again. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 18:11, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Dr vulpes. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe (talk) 14:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 15:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey @CollectiveSolidarity thanks for reaching out and letting me know. I’m new to new page patrol so getting feedback like this is important and I appreciate it. Looking back I think I marked that as ok was because there were other episodes that were marked as ok and I thought it met the guidelines underWP:NTVEP, which after rereading are not really guidelines. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 19:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

No worries! I actually joined the patrol only two days ago, and I’m just learning the ropes. But yeah, that page wasn’t that notable, so that’s why I tagged it. But anyway, thanks for your response. Nice to meet you on the patrol. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Keeping preprint numbers

Thank you for adding journal references in the new article on Partition algebra. However, in the process, you erased the preprint numbers. Is it a feature of an automated tool you are using?

I have now restored the preprint numbers. They are very important in mathematics and theoretical physics. I have accessed all the sources for Partition algebra from arXiv. I do not know whether I can access the journal versions, and whether they differ from the arXiv versions. And when there is a difference, it can be the arXiv version that is better and more up to date than the journal version.

I understand that the role of preprints can be different in other sciences. However, it would be good to link to preprints when they exist, if only for the sakes of open access and stable archiving. Sylvain Ribault (talk) 12:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Dr. G.'s book

Hi, Dr. v.

Like you, I think plants and nature are kinda neat. Dr. G.'s book is based on a plant-based diet.* He's got the references to support his findings.

I'm presently tied up w/ another project. To get to the thorough revision that the book deserves would take a while. So, go ahead and delete. I'll likely complete the revision less than 2 mo. I'm well along there now.

* If you're already on such a diet, that's great (provided that you're on Vitamin B12 pills, to replace Vitamin B12 found only in meat & fish. Sustained lack of Vitamin B12 in a diet might take awhile to show up, e.g, in brittle bones followed by death.

Cheers, Thomasmeeks (talk) 19:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

P.S. If you're interested in the subject, a good place to get a used copy of the 2015 book is ThriftBooks.com. A nice complement to that is Dr. Dean Ornish's book The Spectrum (2007). Both are page-turners & NY Times best sellers. Anyone on the standard American diet (SAD, as Dr. G. & others have labelled it) would likely way benefit from the books.

Inappropriate draftifications

Please note that, per Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 172#Proposal to ban draftifying articles more than 90 days old without consensus, you shouldn't draftify old articles, even if they end up in the new pages feed due to (in this case) a bit of page-move vandalism. In particular, Draft:Birayma Dyeme-Kumba (2018), Draft:Gainsari Assembly constituency (2018), Draft:Nord 1500 Noréclair (2011), Draft:Riverview Rural High School (2008), Draft:Hieronymus Medices (2008), and Draft:Agustín Argüelles (2007) should not have been draftified and I request that you move them back to mainspace. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:59, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Pppery all of the pages in the list you have provided were listed as unpatrolled before being moved to draft. If you review the history of the articles you'll note that they had been recently edited after a long period of inactivity and therefore were sent back to NPP. After reviewing the articles it was determined that sending the articles to draft as per WP:NPPDRAFT. These articles are not candidates for speedy deletion, make claims of notability, and have had years of no active improvement to the articles. It would appear that it is in the best interest of the articles that they be incubated in draft as per WP:ATD-I. There is at least some new active development of these articles for the first time in years so this is not an attempt at a backdoor deletion, which was a concern found policy pertaining to drafting articles over 90 days old. If you want me to go ahead and return these articles to mainspace the only option left for them is deletion.

I've included a list of some of the glaring reasons these articles were sent to draft and could not be marked as patrolled. Let me know what you want me to do and I'll take care of it later today. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 09:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

• Draft:Birayma Dyeme-Kumba
  • One reference
  • Entire article is one sentence
• Draft:Gainsari Assembly constituency
  • Three references, two sources, one of them primary
  • Second table needs to be revamped
• Draft:Nord 1500 Noréclair
  • One reference
  • No inline citations
• Draft:Riverview Rural High School
  • No references
  • Has not addressed verifiability since June 2011
• Draft:Hieronymus Medices
  • One reference
  • No inline citations
• Draft:Agustín Argüelles
  • One reference
  • No inline citations

    Did you even read the discussion I linked to? It came to a consensus that old articles, which all of these are, should not be draftified. Being recently edited after a long time does not normally send articles to NPP. What actually happened is that a vandal moved the pages outside mainspace, and then the vandal was reverted. This does not negate the articles old status, nor does the since-checkuser-blocked vandal display any indication of a desire to improve the article, so There is at least some new active development of these articles for the first time in years so this is not an attempt at a backdoor deletion is nonsense, and in any case if it were true it still wouldn't justify draftifying since one of the requirements for a draftification is there is no evidence of active improvement.

    I want you to move the pages back to mainspace and pursue whatever deletion processes you feel are necessary, as I'm entitled to do. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 14:01, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

    I've moved these all back to mainspace (and left them unreviewed for another new page reviewer) given the lack of response to my above comment. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 13:23, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Edi Dubien

Hi,

I dont' understand why you renamed my article into draft, and not just reverted this edit.

Best, Kvardek du (talk) 09:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Kvardek du, I didn't send the article to draft because of the edit in question. I sent the article to draft because as the article stands it needs substantial work if it is going to stay on Wikipedia. A large section is not in english including the references. There are no inline citations. The article is not written like an encyclopedia article, it reads like promotional ad. I was unable to figure out if this person is notable if they are not then the article needs to be deleted but if they are then it needs to be noted and follow the proper guidelines WP:LIVE amd WP:NBIO.

If you need help or direction I'm more than willing to point you to propper resources. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 07:44, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Are you really looking at this version? Only the inline citations names are in French, the text is entirely using statements from them. I think it's pretty factual - I translated it from my own French version. It has two centered sources separated by 2 years - the article is definitely notable in French, and generally in this case it is notable in English. Kvardek du (talk) 09:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

@Kvardek du I am looking at this version, as it is the most current and recent version. That version is the one that I based my decision on during the new page patrol review process. I did not go back though the history. There are still problems with your version and I would still have either sent the article to draft or nominated it for deletion as the artist does not meet the notability guidelines as per WP:ARTIST. I don't think their exhibitions are particularly noteworthy and they are not represented within a permanent collection. I will admit that I don't know a lot about Edi in France so when I was reviewing this article I compared them to some of the other French artists I knew like Seb Janiak or Judith Benhamou-Huet. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 10:03, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Okay, so I understand better how you did proceed. I recognize it's uncommon to have such edits just after the creation of the page (even if I was very surprised and a bit shocked, at least I'm an experienced Wikipedian so I wasn't totally lost). The artist is represented in the collections of the renowned Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature and even the worldwide class Centre Pompidou, had a monographic exhibition at the Lyon museum. He definitely meets the guidelines. Kvardek du (talk) 10:22, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the information about the artist. For sure, just fix the issues on the draft form of the article and I'll kick it back to mainspace. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 10:28, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022

New Page Review queue August 2022

Hello Dr vulpes,

Backlog status

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Coordination

MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.

Open letter to the WMF

The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.

TIP - Reviewing by subject

Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.

New reviewers

The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.

Reminders

• Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
• If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.
• If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

Request to not delete Union councils of Pakistan

Hi, I saw your proposal to delete this article. The concerns leading are valid, though I believe that there should be a discussion thread to either delete or improve the article. The article is about an important administrative unit in Pakistan and has many child articles. Would love if you consider this. Regards. Pakieditor (talk) 18:43, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Pakieditor, anyone can delete the PROD but I have a solution that I think will handle this. How about we send the article to draft so it can be improved. My concern is that someone else might push for it to be deleted and if someone is going to work on it I don't want that to happen. If you think this is a good idea then let me know and I will go ahead and send it to draft. If there is anything I can do to help improve this article please let me know. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 18:51, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the speedy reply. I will definitely think about this. Pakieditor (talk) 19:08, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

AfD query

Hi there Dr vulpes, thank you again for your comments on my recent ORCP. One thing of note was AfD, so when you get the chance would you mind taking at a look my more recent AfD responses to see if they are less like borderline drive-bys? I am attempting to choose ones to respond that have had less responses by others too. In practice I'm not thinking of going for RfA for a few months whilst I work on content creation too, but wanted to make sure I'm on the right track with AfD at least.

Reminder to notify page author when tagging for CSD

You forgot to notify me about your CSD nomination of a page I recently created, Sodaholic. Please remember you are required to notify the authors of all pages that you mark for speedy deletion. ––FormalDude talk 00:29, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that, didn't notice the checkbox wasn't checked for notifying the author of the article. Thanks for pointing that out! Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 00:47, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Dr vulpes - I'm sure in the future you will remember to notify the author. There's a lot to remember, I know, but keep up the good work. Also see Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons for deleting #6. It makes perfect sense to me that if we don't cross-namespace redirect, we should not cross-wiki redirect to Wiktionary per WP:SSRT. Take it to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, noting that it was previously deleted. and that WP does not cross-wiki redirects to Wiktionary, especially a redirect created specifically for a neologism. Atsme 💬 📧 02:42, 24 August 2022 (UTC) ^{updated strike & underline 10:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)}

@Atsme: See Wikipedia:Cross-wiki redirects. ––FormalDude talk 04:38, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

I stand corrected, FormalDude, my apologies and thank you for making us aware. I have never had the need to use such a redirect, and surprisingly, the process dates back to 2004. I am certainly receptive to your reason for creating that redirect as applicable to WP:SSRT which states: Please keep in mind that only topics with a less-than-encyclopedic scope that are commonly wikified words or that are repeatedly recreated should become soft redirects. We don't need a soft redirect for every possible word or phrase to be included in Wikipedia. I happen to agree with the latter, and taking into consideration that it was previously deleted, I'm not seeing "commonly wikified" or "repeated recreation". But in an effort to give it every chance I can possibly think of for keeping it, I Googled sodaholic to see how widespread its use, and the search returned "about 6.610 results" which is not even close to being as widespread as words like sodajerker which brought back "about 28.700 results", or dude which brought back "about 975.000.000 results." Have you experienced an issue that caused you to create that redirect? Atsme 💬 📧 10:12, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate your effort in reviewing this matter, but I'm not particularly invested in this. It is, after all, just a redirect. I have not experienced any issues that caused me to create it, and if someone nominates it for RfD, that is fine by me. ––FormalDude talk 03:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

• Dr vulpes, the only reason I am encouraging you to pursue an RfD is that we should at least make an effort to prevent overuse as such redirects have potential to become a regular practice in lieu of the intended purpose. Redirects are viewed as WP:CHEAP, and while there is merit in the proper use of redirects, misuse (inadvertent or otherwise) adds unnecessary work to our already overworked volunteers. I'm of the mind that you have had enough experience as a NPP reviewer to have noticed the ambiguities in our PAGs, some of the gaming that goes on, the use-mention distinction issues, misinterpretations and misapplication of WP:N at AfD, and so forth. If only we could be so lucky as to have more editors like FormalDude, who was a pleasure to work with in this situation. I think it probably boils down to the right combo of experience and collegiality. Happy editing! Atsme 💬 📧 12:48, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Restored the redirect

Hi, Dr vulpes. I hope all is well on your end. I stopped by to mention that after reviewing this article's history, and changes that were made that resulted in the removal of the redirect, I saw no improvement in the sources that satisfy N to warrant it being a standalone article. Atsme 💬 📧 11:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey @Atsme, I 100% completely agree with your edit and it is what I wanted to do. I ran into this issue with two articles I reviewed earlier this month (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Villains (Heroes) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Eclipse (Heroes)) and had to submit them to AfD to try and redirect/delete them. That was three weeks ago it appears that there is a prevailing attitude that any TV episode that has two reviews of it warrants an independent article.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Donald Stockford. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Donald Stockford), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Dr vulpes, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 05:16, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Regarding my ANI thread

Good morning. I just wanted to thank you for your last statement on my ANI thread, informing me that my tone is bordering on bullying. I have rectified this by leaving the project. As you rightly indicated, I am high maintenance and would hate for me having problems with someone else's behaviour, to affect my own, or to get in the way of yours or anyone else's life. I trust this is acceptable to you. Please don't reply, it's not necessary. Dane|Geld 08:54, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I fully understand how you fell, my first article was sent to AfD and it stung. I think the ANI just hit a lot of nerves for people. One of the things I really love about wikipedia is when mistakes are made just apologizing and moving on (like we are right now) makes everything ok. There are people in that ANI thread who I have STRONGLY disagreed within the past but later we saw eye to eye on other issues (including this one). You are a good editor and make wikipedia a better place. Your work is important. The community would be worse off without you in it. There are a lot of learning opportunities here and I hope you make the best use of them. I know in the future we will clash and we will agree but I know a the end of the day you are a human being and I will do my best to respect and honor your contributions. Things are kinda tense right now but I really hope you stick around, make this place better, and that we can go forward improve this space for everyone.

By the way, I looked at that list of things that you messed up. That was a few days ago. This isn't my first time visiting your user talk page. Curious sorts, are curious. My heart leapt up a bit at your humor and humility. Do you have ANY idea how rare that is, i.e. to openly manifest humor and humility, especially on Wikipedia? No, on second thought, it is rare EVERYWHERE! Proffering a mea culpa like that should satiate even the most antagonized and irritable of souls. (I'm not suggesting that Dane Geld guy is either.) Truly, if the world had more Dr. Vulpes around, well, you get the idea. Are you certain you're not one of those 23 holy men that some of my religion/ethnicity believe are necessary for the world to exist? Um I think, I think they are named... (I don't even have the excuse of long COVID for my brain fog, although my gynecologist says that the onset of menopause is comparable) um... lamed vavniks! Some obnoxious person added a lot of "citation needed" and "dubious" tags to an article on Jewish mysticism. (I roll my eyes upward.) I am a trad Jewish female, so I leave mysticism for the men folk. Women are not supposed to go near it. Jewish men aren't supposed to either, not unless they are spiritually girded for it. (Madonna has culturally appropriated Kabbalah, I suspect.)

jamovi

Dr. Vulpes, I spent hours cleaning and improving the references in your AfC jamovi article. I approved it for main space last night. (I am a statistician IRL although I use SAS and SPSS not R). This is the name of the article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamovi_(software) jamovi (software). Why are you upset with me?! I saw the message you left in the page protection area, objecting to what I had done. I'm confused. Look up, and you can see that I even left a note for you, saying that you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. FeralOink (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey @FeralOink I'm sorry, I wasn't upset with you, the way I came off was not cool and is 100% my bad. I got real frustrated with trying to get everything working and screwed up. Right now I'm also dealing with some long covid nonsense (brain fog, migraines) so sometimes when my energy gets depleted I get grumpy/confused. This is in no way an excuse for my behavior or actions, just an explanation of what's going on over on my end and an apology to you for how my actions hurt you. The only olive branch I have is this site of SAS jokes. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 04:08, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Dr. Vulpes, you are such a sweet heart!!! Why thank you for that friendly offering of SAS jokes! I am really enjoying it. I understand that you got frustrated about the jamovi article. I was feeling a little high strung the other day because I got fired from my job doing risk management at the bank. So you shouldn't feel too badly. I probably should apologize a bit too. I'm really sorry to hear that you're suffering with long covid horror. I hope you feel better in something sooner than a long time. That's a terrible pun, but the best I can do at the moment.--FeralOink (talk) 14:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Ah crud, my overzealous use of << and >> has caused your entire user page from the lamed vavniks onward to be italicized. I'm sorry about that. Feel free to just delete my comments. I'll try to stop by later and fix the wikisyntax that inadvertenty caused the mess--FeralOink (talk) 14:41, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
