Hey there, all well? Really hope so!
Do you think it's possible to "award" Carlos Xavier the same page protection you "bestowed upon" Pedro Martins a month ago or so? I'll be quick to admit that maybe one of my edit summaries may have escalated the situation, but now the IP(s, similarly endless), that only seem to care about this article in life (!!), continue reverting to a poorer version, with overlinking/overmention/poor English.
Ah, and even though i might have been hysteric in that 6 May summary, i never insulted anyone, and in turn was insulted ("wannabe smartass").
Attentively, continue to be well in and out WP! And sorry for any inconvenience again (i know that aggressive edit summaries are not welcome here, but if i was not able to stop in 18 years, maybe i never will, at least completely). RevampedEditor ( talk) 15:27, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Drmies, I just discovered that the article Mating of yeast had its long-established reference style changed by Boghog on 9 May from Last, First (Doe, John S.) to Vancouver (Doe JS), contrary to policy. He used to do this often on Evolutionary Biology articles some years ago, but when reverted and warned he stopped, ... I thought. It seems he's just moved on to other areas where I'm not active, and he is still doing it on one article after another. He uses the edit comment "consistent citation formatting" when he does this; a quick search for that in his last 500 edits reveals dozens and dozens of such edits – of course, many of them may be entirely correct and justifiable if Vancouver citations are already the established majority on those articles (as is likely in Medicine and Molecular Biology, for instance); but articles like 'Mating of yeast', Forensic entomology (25 April), and Sexual script theory (24 April), do not really fall into those categories. I suppose if one applies quick edits to a lot of medical articles it would be easy to overgeneralise and do the same on Biology articles too, regardless of established reference styles there. I've posted on the Talk:Mating of yeast page but it seems to me that something should be done. What would you advise? Chiswick Chap ( talk) 12:36, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Would you mind casting your eyes over this LOUTSOCK. It's starting to be disruptive. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

It's my understanding that if I boldly re-direct something and the re-direct is challenged, AfD is a reasonable next step. Am I doing this right? Introduction to Leadership Skills (Boy Scouts of America) Graywalls ( talk) 02:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Could you take a look at what might be going on with Carptrash ( talk · contribs)'s home IP, per his message on my talkpage? He says his home IP is blocked, but his account is not. Acroterion (talk) 12:02, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
User:UltimateMikeSawyers has pledged to evade their block using other accounts and VPNs on their unblock request (as well as call the administrators bitches, unreasonable, and foolish). I'm not sure if you can do anything about it, but it makes me shake my head when I'm wondering. NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 06:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
If you have a moment, could you take a look at Google's translation of "Mijn geweten gebiedt mij hier met diepe smart en teleurstelling te gedenken de ontheffing uit de uitoefening van hun ambt van een aantal Nederlandse collega's, uitsluitend om reden van afkomst of geloof." at Victor Jacob Koningsberger to see if it jives? I cleaned it up, but it was suspiciously coherent for GT. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 20:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Come @ Drmies, you have instructed me to take Draft:Aroz Rai to FA. How do I start this one even. You are more than funny. Ah! Ok, there is no problem with that. What if I tell you about this: I have not wanted to tell Josh so that he won't join. I want to take one page to FA ASAP. Do you know the page I mean? this one. What do you think? Is it going to pass? Haha! 🤣🤣🤣. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 21:00, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Drmies, I would appreciate it if you would not follow me around tracking my edits. In the past week, you have followed me to two pages on which you have never made an edit. Thank you in advance. – notwally ( talk) 22:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Crisco that is SPECTACULAR. I'd never heard of it. I assume you wrote that up? Drmies ( talk) 16:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi doc. We have a situation at NU'EST. Thanks. Dr. K. 11:02, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
I have reverted most of your edits to Antenna tuner article. I kept your deletion of the new "editorial" section, and the "issues" templates that you inserted, but restored all the other sections that you removed: Your edits were too extensive, too rash, too impulsive. You completely removed parts of the article that needed to stay, at least in part.
I think that you are correct in describing the article as too long and too detailed. My own opinion is that the article needs to be split up into multiple smaller articles on individual antenna tuner types, and reduced to just a review article covering antenna impedance matching rather than tuners: For example, stub-matching and baluns / transformers are not really "antenna tuners", although they are often used along with them.
Please refrain from any further edits to the antenna tuner article. Your grammar change ("don't") was entirely fine, but you appear to have an established pattern of creating editing controversy by jumping into articles where you may have limited expertise. You current batch of rash changes suggest that you aren't quite ready to make the careful edits needed to retain the good parts of the article. Astro-Tom-ical ( talk) 20:35, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello Drmies, there is this user AnimeBatman who keeps reverting my edits to the " England national football team" article. Most people should think my edit to the right looks better than AnimeBatman's version to the left. I feel like an edit war is going to happen soon, and I want this page to look as good as possible for the Euros. Could you please block this user? Thanks, Nearly but not perfect ( talk) 15:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, would you mind having a look at Pieinthesky1, who is making their habitual edits in the usual playgrounds?
@ SomethingForDeletion: alerted me about this likely being a familiar sock repeating the same edits on Capital punishment for homosexuality. Ohnoitsjamie ( talk · contribs) sorted the last (known) episode in March involving LGBT rights in the UAE. As you have often managed also, they were so fast they got rid of them before I'd even seen the disruption. Thought we'd lost them, but no such luck.
Anyway, looks very like the same old-same old, to me. AukusRuckus ( talk) 08:31, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
If you're going to restart a discussion and put it under a new heading while copy/pasting my signature in what you're quoting on WP:AN, I would expect a heads up as you're directly referencing me and what I said. Buffs ( talk) 17:01, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Quick question, do you think it would be appropriate to lock the election pages of those that have been reverted? I saw you lock the 2018 and the 2022 Italian election pages, and wondered if it would be best to lock such other pages too. ValenciaThunderbolt ( talk) 09:14, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
