You say on your user page that:
One of my personal projects is the Horse Lava Tube System, which starts in the Deschutes National Forest and runs through the east side of Bend, through Redmond, and beyond. It contains over 100 caves of varying sizes. My goals are to survey the remaining caves in the system and publish a book (not for public consumption) on it. I currently have a good draft. Another companion book which is a bibliography on the Horse Lava Tube System is nearly complete at almost 100 pages in length, but still a work in progress.
You are also actively involved in trying to prevent the publication of information (namely coordinates) about those systems on Wikipedia. You have a clear conflict of interest; not least since you will loose exclusivity if information is published in Wikipedia. Please be aware of our policy on CoI, and be sure to both abide by it and declare your interest, should you decide to continue to edit in regard to such cave systems. I have also raised the matter at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Cave coordinates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits

An article you recently created,
Five Fingers of Funk, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines: "Large talk pages are difficult to read and load slowly over slow connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 kB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." – this talk page is 52.1 kB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot.

Can you provide evidence that Scrye run a proper article on this game? I know it had some, I read it back in the day too, but you forgot to properly attribute it. As such, we can't be sure there was an article and not just a price list.
Second, please note that SIGCOV does require multiple (mimimum two) sources that meet WP:SIGCOV. We are tightening our standards these days, we are even creating Wikipedia:WikiProject Board and table games/Sources (and you are welcome to participate), but that also means we are getting rid of the occasional article that doesn't meet the project-wide standards. Of course, it's always better to rescue content than to delete it, hence my question if you can identify two SIGCOV-meeting sources and properly reference them for this article. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:44, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
It seems relevant to repost what I posted on Piotrus' prod log page: Hello again! I've done a series of articles on CCG games. Two articles in particular are very similar to your claim that they "barely support [this entity]": Echelons of Fury and Echelons of Fire. There was a discussion about it here claiming the price guide was not notable, but that proved not to be the case. I understand that most price guides and catalogs do fall under this category and would normally agree with you, but the Scrye guide is exceptional in that it has more than a mere mention in a passing sentence (a dedicated article by Richard Weld, as you requested), but three full paragraphs devoted to its description. You'll note that one user that voted on whether to keep or delete the article mentions "I just saw the full title and forgot Scrye had actual articles." So, before you go digging into the other articles I created using the Scrye guide, you should note that Scrye passes WP:RS, WP:GNG, and WP:CORPDEPTH. If you won't take my word for it, the other commenter's word for it, then check out this Amazon review that stated "Quite useful listing of collectables with some information besides being just a list of CCGs" (emphasis mine). The review is now deleted, but at the time of review, was documented in that AfD discussion. Based on my outline above, I will delete the template for AfD. Leitmotiv ( talk) 15:23, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
for the most part just a price list, so IMHO it's not SIGCOV. IMO, this might need to be AfDed, sadly. VickKiang ( talk) 05:43, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fastbreak (card game) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

On 5 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Te lapa, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that te lapa, an unproven and unexplained oceanic light phenomenon, might have been used by Polynesians to find islands in the Pacific Ocean? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Te lapa. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Te lapa), 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. 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.

Hi. I saw you were having trouble reporting a vandal at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. You are replacing the instructions template, which is why your edits are being reported. What you want to do is place it in the section titled "user-reported" beneath the other reports.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
