~ nice to meet you ~ ~mitch~ ( talk) 14:22, 9 July 2019 (UTC) |
By the way: ISBN 0198158831 p.223 tells me that the coffee house at 37 Lauriergracht has as famous an address as 221b Baker Street. I think that I have that right. This popular culture stuff from television is Doktoro's area. In the real world, 221b Baker Street was demolished years ago, and the scriptwriter for Doktoro's pop culture couldn't even get the name of The Bailey right. I suspect that xe looked up The Bailey in Pommiepedia when writing. Uncle G ( talk) 19:38, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
— Hold on! This is the wrong series. We'll be pulling in that Zaphod Gearbox person if we are not careful.
Doktoro, your childhood memories are entirely real and not in any way the product of a Chameleon Arch.
So … when you swam past 37 Lauriergracht on your way to skool, did you look up? Was there a blue plaque on the wall, perchance? To commemorate the presence there of a man who had not learned to wet shave.

Doktoro needs to carefully check the Foreign in this AFC submission. This is all pop culture and I have no idea what I am writing here. I am citing Michelin, for goodness' sake! Uncle G ( talk) 10:22, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
For your youth cred, Doktoro, I'll let you put in the happening and rad part about the Jongensweeshuis run by some brothers. Uncle G ( talk) 11:05, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
… that Eduard Bird (a.k.a. Edward) probably lived on the Lauriergracht rather than the Egelantiersgracht, and left around half a million (figures vary from 376000 to over 616000) clay pipes to his son at his death?

Someone has beeen writing about your swim to skool, Doktoro, after writing about shipwrecked orange birds. We should probably not mention Talk:Canals of Amsterdam#Red list, as xe might regard that as a challenge. ☺ Uncle G ( talk) 18:40, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
In some ways the Time Lords are like many other people, Doktoro. They've give you a detailed and convincing back-story for your Chamelon Arch, but they've done it by copying and pasting Wikipedia and images from Commons, so that you've ended up improbably close to a famous person. You'll probably find that your memory of your childhood has an "In popular culture" section. Uncle G ( talk) 23:04, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Just don't tell xem about Murray Township, Alameda County, California and the doco noted in the discussion of Robert, California ( AfD discussion). Uncle G ( talk) 22:06, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
Doktoro is trying to blame me for it all, again, and to get robots to come and blame me on my user talk page weeks from now. I just did what I occasionally do at AFD, turned an article nominated for deletion into a good stub. The blame and the thanks really should go elsewhere. Aymatth2 ( talk · contribs) added the explosions and special effects in post-production, and gave you the Trojan Powder Company. So xe really deserves the blame here. The thanks should go to the historians who wrote those history books with the history in, of course.
On that subject, note that the full street address of Captain William Roberts' house is given in Dinkelspiel Cerny 2007, p. 310 and it looks like this when viewed from a careful (but not very good) angle that excludes the self-storage company sign. ☺
As for tying these, Mulford, San Leandro, California, and I suspect some other articles as well, together, I suggest that you encourage Naddruf ( talk · contribs) who seems to have an interest in this stuff.

There are a few editors who are trying to change the lead sentence of the article so that the name in the lead is different from the title. I have been letting them make some edits, e.g., changing the logo, but reverting the lead changes. I'm not even sure of my ground here, meaning I don't know whether this sort of change is permissible or the article should be moved to the new name, assuming they are correct, which I haven't bothered to verify because I'm lazy. I assume the relevant policy is WP:COMMONNAME. I'm not reverting anymore; I'm passing it off to you and our favorite evaluator of truth, policy, and the American way: Uncle G.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:49, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

help)For those lurkers who like editing articles related to Shakespeare, a blanking vandal apparently listening to a ″Wikipedia voice″ has opened up an opportunity to cite an actual English Professor, one Paul Franssen from the University of Utrecht. Franssen 2016, pp. 145–147 explains Burgess' dramatization of the Dark Lady that is based upon a discredited version of the Lucy Negro hypothesis, which was, ironically, discredited the same year that Burgess' book was published. Interestingly, the name Lucy Morgan is not mentioned in our Dark Lady (Shakespeare) article at all. Franssen even discusses how Burgess changed the Lucy Negro character for ″personal and somewhat arbitrary″ reasons to Malay and how that may have been a reflection of society in the 1960s.

I thought you should know since you recently interacted with the new account. – Wallyfromdilbert ( talk) 22:00, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
Regarding both that and this [1], plus the fact that someone tried to call my workplace looking to cause trouble and wikipedia admins did nothing about the threats of doxxing from Maynard and Williamson's facebook back-and-forths, I hope you will understand my response to Liz here. [2] After being accused of trying a "purge" for following policy with a mere two atrocious articles, I don't see why anyone bothers contributing to wikipedia at all. I certainly feel I have been given absolutely no incentive to do anything to contribute in editing now. 6YearsTillRetirement ( talk) 05:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
I just saw that Sandstein closed the AfD. I had a quick look and I probably would have closed it the exact same way, including the BLP request for deletion. I agree that Liz's comment probably was unlikely to be accepted in the spirit in which I hope it was offered. As for the harassment, there is not very much that administrators can do, besides maybe some actions here on Wikipedia, including semi-protecting certain pages and blocking editors/IPs if they harass our editors. You may want to look at Wikipedia:Harassment#Dealing_with_harassment, specifically the third paragraph. Good luck, and again, I'm sorry you're at the receiving end of harassment.

Hello, I noticed that you reverted one of my AIV reports regarding an IP that keeps adding non-English text. "Série", as far as my knowledge of the English language is concerned, is not English. It should be series. This also isn't the first time they've done it, as evidenced here. I have reason to believe that this is a disruptive IP because they never use edit summaries (hence their rationale is unclear), nor do they respond to warnings. I would like to know what you think about it. Thanks. Sk8erPrince ( talk) 00:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Also, I just renamed Mini-Moni and will be renaming the rest of their articles to match how their name is reported on English media.

Who are you may I ask? An admin? I join Wikipedia not to make friends, but to provide truths and facts. And I do not know them face-to-face. And there are pages of largest species don't have reference of reliable sources in the open paragraph to prove that they are the largest species, like tiger. And the edits I added for saltwater crocodile are facts. Seriously, is this Wikipedia too demanding? I'm beginning to wonder if other people were right about saying that the Wikipedia is untrustworthy? -- Manwë986 ( talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
No, Drmies. Some other people think that Wikipedia is untrustworthy because not everything are true. Perhaps so, for they don't even need Wikipedia to prove so, as they access websites and news etc. I add references of news and scientific resources, if one sentence wasn't enough. As I said, the tiger page doesn't have references in the open paragraph to prove that it is the largest cat. Please visit the tiger page and you know what I mean. -- Manwë986 ( talk) 02:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

But it is a vulgar slang for the word! — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobThomas15 ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
I know that you like to eat because you keep mentioning stroopwafels and talking about your grocery shopping expeditions, at least when you are not in Mark Zuckerberg's doghouse. Anyway. About 46 years ago I heard about this great restaurant in Sacramento, but procrastinated about checking it out until three weeks ago, when my wife and I ate there with one of my sons. So, I got all wound up about expanding the stub Frank Fat's and quintupled it, I think. Maybe more. I went back again today for a late lunch/early dinner with my wife, because we are old and I wanted to take a photo of a slice of banana cream pie for Commons. So, are there any glaring negatives and can you (or any members of your fan club) make it better? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
You missed Frank's sojourn in Nevada ( Moe 2001, p. 29). You missed "speaker of the third house" and "senator fat", too. Moreover, do not forget the 2007 Gold Mountain: Whispers of the Past exhibition at 40 Acres Gallery. Or the bronze statue of the Chinese railroad worker in the California State Library, made by Edward Fraughton, donated by the Fat family, and recorded in the CSL Foundation Bulletin.

Here is a photo I took today of the 1859 house we discussed recently with Uncle G. It is a jewel in an otherwise dreary neighborhood. There are freeway ramps soaring overhead across the street, above a veterinary hospital. There is a company that sells pool tables close by. In the other direction, a Wal-Mart, an In-N-Out Burger, and a Seven-11. Plus freeway exits and very heavy traffic. The house is very well maintained with pretty gardens and is now the offices of a self-storage company. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I need some advise or help. The latest Signpost issue has a section on woman stuff. It contains this study "Breastfeeding, Authority, and Genre: Women's Ethos in Wikipedia and Blogs." I tried to get a copy as it is available on the web and got as far as a note that my request had been sent to the authors, but I never heard back from them (which did not at all surprise me...). I'm the leading editor on our breastfeeding article and I have been for some years, most likely during the time that they did their study, and I'd like to see our work from their eyes. I'm guessing that I will be critical of their findings, but I think I may learn a thing or two as well that may help us to better present women's issues. Any advise on how to get a copy of this study? Gandydancer ( talk) 16:26, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, I belive Nuno Coimbra is a reincarnation of XavierD75. He exhibits the same behaviour patterns, insisting on modifying the same information in the Isabel dos Santos article, like other previous ones already blocked, determined to change or delete information about the date of birth, name of the mother and citizenship, to the point of removing the infobox, as here, here and here. In one of these, he was asked on his discussion page to explain his edit, but ignored it. The editor is also determined to fill the page with flattering photos of the subject, often with disregard for the page structure like here and here. At one point he included 4 or 5 photos of his own photos. He has been blocked on Commons for spamming. Editor also insists in removing references do other people by the same name, having twice removed the disambiguation hatnote here and again a day ago here.

Hi,
I just wanted to say that the message I received earlier today on my talk from you really hurt my feelings. I really wanted to be a good member for Wikipedia. I've seen the website doing a lot of great things, but there are still so many articles left to write. I really wanted to make articles for Louis L'Amour novels and for some of the seasons of Survivor. The Australian Survivor Season 4 Wikipedia page doesn't have recaps for the episodes. There is no way to know what happened in them and nobody wrote any synopses for the episodes. The show, Survivor, is a very dynamic show. There are a lot of perspectives, story developments, and strategies of the contestants that needed to be shared. I was told that my work was not constructive and that's just very hurtful to hear. I worked very hard to watch the episodes and write the plots for them so that people would know what was going on in the episodes. It's nearly impossible to write a short synopsis for an episode of Survivor when there is so much going on. I really worked hard on those articles and it just hurts to see that my work wasn't appreciated and people keep deleting them. I just wanted to contribute something positive to the page and instead I've been told that my articles are not constructive and that I've been edit warring. That was not my intention when I joined Wikipedia. All I want to do is positive things in my life and I just feel like nobody ever gives me the opportunity to do that. Can we create separate pages for the episodes? Anything that I can do to share my work would be appreciated. But, please, don't say my work wasn't constructive. It was something that I really worked hard on and I just wanted to do something good for Wikipedia. Derekyoung418 ( talk) 23:15, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Dear dr Mies, for some time now, if I write to your normal Wikipedia address, my message is blocked by the remote server, and I've heard the same thing happens to other people. I've tried to alert you to the problem at your ArbCom address, but haven't heard back. I'm far from sure you check that address, or indeed that it's still live (since you're not an arb right now, though perhaps soon again, hint hint!). So this page is currently my only way of reaching you. Have you considered getting a dedicated address for Wikipedia e-mail — for instance g-mail, which doesn't have the same tendency to block messages? Entirely up to you, of course, but Bishzilla has g-mail for Wikipedia, proudly, and she loves it. Bishonen | talk 10:40, 6 September 2019 (UTC).

Hi. I wanted to let you know the proposal has been modified and Mandruss notified me I should do this. The proposal, similar to the old one is:
I don't expect you to change your mind - this is just a notification. Thanks.
Regards,
Regarding your revert on the article, do you think the list criteria ("The following people are currently or have been affiliated with ADF") should also be changed? The RSs (and her Wikipedia page) say Lisa Biron was associated with the group, which would seem to fit the list description. Also, I think additional names may need to be removed, especially if it is no longer just "affiliated with" (e.g., Michael J.

[14] I don't know what more could have been said, short of "this is about his sister, not him, and doesn't belong in an article about him". I thought we'd been clear enough. I'm worried that we have several editors who believe that everything ever said on a news report belongs on Wikipedia, and if it's not important enough for an article of its own, they'll find another article to shoehorn it in. I suppose, though, that the real tragedy is that the murder is completely not notable, and if not for the salacious gossipy bit, wouldn't have even rated more than a paragraph in the local paper.

Drmies, I know this [ [15]] is content you support but doesn't Consensus say in the case of a dispute the material stays out until there is a new consensus? I think there is a consensus for exclusion but even if I'm wrong, is there a consensus for inclusion? Aren't we at best/worst just at no consensus? Springee ( talk) 16:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit.. If we both agree there is no consensus for inclusion (you saying no consensus either way and me saying consensus against) then we should default to removal until consensus is achieved. BTW, I am here because I remembered something that you said. "Finally I'll break a lance for Springee, an editor with whom I frequently disagree (because foolishly they disagree with me)..." I cut it off there because the rest was effusive complements :D [ [16]] I'm only half kidding, I'm here because your comment really reinforced the idea that we need to respect others and follow the rules even when we don't like the outcomes. I think the "rules" are clear in this case, new material, no consensus for inclusion, remove until a new consensus is reached.

Good Day Drmies, regarding David Dobrik's page i apologize if i end up adding too many tables in his page, i am still new to editing the wiki and i appreciate the help that you did, and the reason i added those tables is based on me just copying existing tables from various person's page like how in liza koshy or gabbie hanna's page they have a television table where it was listed that they either co-hosted a show, a contestant on another show or have their guest appearances listed too, so i thought since david co-hosted a show, became a judge and a guest judge that its ok to add them too. I guess i thought the wiki has a uniformed format that every page should be ok to have the same thing on their pages and not just nitpick which page deserves to have certain infos while the other doesnt even if they have the similar accomplishments.
In the future is it ok to use your edits to david dobrik's page as a basis me to also help clean up other existing pages with the same content? i already deleted the podcast table in jason nash and logan paul's page for the sake of uniformity since it only listed them guesting or hosting their own podcast or youtube channel and so on similar to david's page and when im free i can also help look around various pages and do the same things. Thank you for your time. Princeton294 ( talk) 02:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

By the way: ISBN 0198158831 p.223 tells me that the coffee house at 37 Lauriergracht has as famous an address as 221b Baker Street. I think that I have that right. This popular culture stuff from television is Doktoro's area. In the real world, 221b Baker Street was demolished years ago, and the scriptwriter for Doktoro's pop culture couldn't even get the name of The Bailey right.

Aymatth2 ( talk · contribs) added the explosions and special effects in post-production, and gave you the Trojan Powder Company. So xe really deserves the blame here. The thanks should go to the historians who wrote those history books with the history in, of course.
On that subject, note that the full street address of Captain William Roberts' house is given in Dinkelspiel Cerny 2007, p. 310 and it looks like this when viewed from a careful (but not very good) angle that excludes the self-storage company sign. ☺

Interestingly, the name Lucy Morgan is not mentioned in our Dark Lady (Shakespeare) article at all.

I just saw that Sandstein closed the AfD. I had a quick look and I probably would have closed it the exact same way, including the BLP request for deletion. I agree that Liz's comment probably was unlikely to be accepted in the spirit in which I hope it was offered. As for the harassment, there is not very much that administrators can do, besides maybe some actions here on Wikipedia, including semi-protecting certain pages and blocking editors/IPs if they harass our editors.

Hello, I noticed that you reverted one of my AIV reports regarding an IP that keeps adding non-English text. "Série", as far as my knowledge of the English language is concerned, is not English. It should be series. This also isn't the first time they've done it, as evidenced here. I have reason to believe that this is a disruptive IP because they never use edit summaries (hence their rationale is unclear), nor do they respond to warnings. I would like to know what you think about it. Thanks. Sk8erPrince ( talk) 00:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Also, I just renamed Mini-Moni and will be renaming the rest of their articles to match how their name is reported on English media.

Who are you may I ask? An admin? I join Wikipedia not to make friends, but to provide truths and facts. And I do not know them face-to-face. And there are pages of largest species don't have reference of reliable sources in the open paragraph to prove that they are the largest species, like tiger. And the edits I added for saltwater crocodile are facts. Seriously, is this Wikipedia too demanding? I'm beginning to wonder if other people were right about saying that the Wikipedia is untrustworthy? -- Manwë986 ( talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
No, Drmies. Some other people think that Wikipedia is untrustworthy because not everything are true. Perhaps so, for they don't even need Wikipedia to prove so, as they access websites and news etc. I add references of news and scientific resources, if one sentence wasn't enough. As I said, the tiger page doesn't have references in the open paragraph to prove that it is the largest cat. Please visit the tiger page and you know what I mean. -- Manwë986 ( talk) 02:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

I know that you like to eat because you keep mentioning stroopwafels and talking about your grocery shopping expeditions, at least when you are not in Mark Zuckerberg's doghouse. Anyway. About 46 years ago I heard about this great restaurant in Sacramento, but procrastinated about checking it out until three weeks ago, when my wife and I ate there with one of my sons. So, I got all wound up about expanding the stub Frank Fat's and quintupled it, I think. Maybe more. I went back again today for a late lunch/early dinner with my wife, because we are old and I wanted to take a photo of a slice of banana cream pie for Commons. So, are there any glaring negatives and can you (or any members of your fan club) make it better? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
You missed Frank's sojourn in Nevada ( Moe 2001, p. 29). You missed "speaker of the third house" and "senator fat", too. Moreover, do not forget the 2007 Gold Mountain: Whispers of the Past exhibition at 40 Acres Gallery. Or the bronze statue of the Chinese railroad worker in the California State Library, made by Edward Fraughton, donated by the Fat family, and recorded in the CSL Foundation Bulletin.

I need some advise or help. The latest Signpost issue has a section on woman stuff. It contains this study "Breastfeeding, Authority, and Genre: Women's Ethos in Wikipedia and Blogs."

I'm the leading editor on our breastfeeding article and I have been for some years, most likely during the time that they did their study, and I'd like to see our work from their eyes.

Hi Drmies, I belive Nuno Coimbra is a reincarnation of XavierD75. He exhibits the same behaviour patterns, insisting on modifying the same information in the Isabel dos Santos article, like other previous ones already blocked, determined to change or delete information about the date of birth, name of the mother and citizenship, to the point of removing the infobox, as here, here and here. In one of these, he was asked on his discussion page to explain his edit, but ignored it. The editor is also determined to fill the page with flattering photos of the subject, often with disregard for the page structure like here and here. At one point he included 4 or 5 photos of his own photos. He has been blocked on Commons for spamming. Editor also insists in removing references do other people by the same name, having twice removed the disambiguation hatnote here and again a day ago here.

Hi,
I just wanted to say that the message I received earlier today on my talk from you really hurt my feelings. I really wanted to be a good member for Wikipedia. I've seen the website doing a lot of great things, but there are still so many articles left to write. I really wanted to make articles for Louis L'Amour novels and for some of the seasons of Survivor. The Australian Survivor Season 4 Wikipedia page doesn't have recaps for the episodes. There is no way to know what happened in them and nobody wrote any synopses for the episodes. The show, Survivor, is a very dynamic show. There are a lot of perspectives, story developments, and strategies of the contestants that needed to be shared. I was told that my work was not constructive and that's just very hurtful to hear. I worked very hard to watch the episodes and write the plots for them so that people would know what was going on in the episodes. It's nearly impossible to write a short synopsis for an episode of Survivor when there is so much going on. I really worked hard on those articles and it just hurts to see that my work wasn't appreciated and people keep deleting them. I just wanted to contribute something positive to the page and instead I've been told that my articles are not constructive and that I've been edit warring. That was not my intention when I joined Wikipedia. All I want to do is positive things in my life and I just feel like nobody ever gives me the opportunity to do that. Can we create separate pages for the episodes? Anything that I can do to share my work would be appreciated. But, please, don't say my work wasn't constructive. It was something that I really worked hard on and I just wanted to do something good for Wikipedia. Derekyoung418 ( talk) 23:15, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm far from sure you check that address, or indeed that it's still live (since you're not an arb right now, though perhaps soon again, hint hint!).

I don't expect you to change your mind - this is just a notification. Thanks.

Regarding your revert on the article, do you think the list criteria ("The following people are currently or have been affiliated with ADF") should also be changed? The RSs (and her Wikipedia page) say Lisa Biron was associated with the group, which would seem to fit the list description. Also, I think additional names may need to be removed, especially if it is no longer just "affiliated with" (e.g., Michael J.

[14] I don't know what more could have been said, short of "this is about his sister, not him, and doesn't belong in an article about him". I thought we'd been clear enough. I'm worried that we have several editors who believe that everything ever said on a news report belongs on Wikipedia, and if it's not important enough for an article of its own, they'll find another article to shoehorn it in. I suppose, though, that the real tragedy is that the murder is completely not notable, and if not for the salacious gossipy bit, wouldn't have even rated more than a paragraph in the local paper.

On 9 September 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Petro Kilekwa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Petro Kilekwa from Zambia was enslaved because his mother could not pay the ransom – eight yards (7.3 m) of calico cloth? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Petro Kilekwa. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Petro Kilekwa), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

M. Callan 425 will enjoy more missing California history that AFD has turned up. There are no nearby freeways, but there used to be a railway. Uncle G ( talk) 10:25, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
Drmies, I know this [ [15]] is content you support but doesn't Consensus say in the case of a dispute the material stays out until there is a new consensus? I think there is a consensus for exclusion but even if I'm wrong, is there a consensus for inclusion? Aren't we at best/worst just at no consensus? Springee ( talk) 16:04, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit.. If we both agree there is no consensus for inclusion (you saying no consensus either way and me saying consensus against) then we should default to removal until consensus is achieved. BTW, I am here because I remembered something that you said. "Finally I'll break a lance for Springee, an editor with whom I frequently disagree (because foolishly they disagree with me)..." I cut it off there because the rest was effusive complements :D [ [16]] I'm only half kidding, I'm here because your comment really reinforced the idea that we need to respect others and follow the rules even when we don't like the outcomes. I think the "rules" are clear in this case, new material, no consensus for inclusion, remove until a new consensus is reached. Part of my frustration has been BMK clearly ignoring such rules with claims like "we need consensus to remove". Springee ( talk) 16:33, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
If M. Callan 425 can take the non-existent train to South Fork without stopping off to eat along the way, then you can nip over to Tennessee during your lunch hour to look for sources about a very recently dead person. No cheating and using all of that JSTORerry and stuff, now. Uncle G ( talk) 08:20, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
Good Day Drmies, regarding David Dobrik's page i apologize if i end up adding too many tables in his page, i am still new to editing the wiki and i appreciate the help that you did, and the reason i added those tables is based on me just copying existing tables from various person's page like how in liza koshy or gabbie hanna's page they have a television table where it was listed that they either co-hosted a show, a contestant on another show or have their guest appearances listed too, so i thought since david co-hosted a show, became a judge and a guest judge that its ok to add them too. I guess i thought the wiki has a uniformed format that every page should be ok to have the same thing on their pages and not just nitpick which page deserves to have certain infos while the other doesnt even if they have the similar accomplishments.
In the future is it ok to use your edits to david dobrik's page as a basis me to also help clean up other existing pages with the same content? i already deleted the podcast table in jason nash and logan paul's page for the sake of uniformity since it only listed them guesting or hosting their own podcast or youtube channel and so on similar to david's page and when im free i can also help look around various pages and do the same things. Thank you for your time. Princeton294 ( talk) 02:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
