I realize you haven't been around much. I hope you're OK. E Eng 05:43, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey y'all, I signed up for a handful of classes and got very busy with coursework and homework. I am, however, thankfully well and in good health. I hope to be back on board more now, or quite soon. Thanks for your thoughts and comments, EEng and Liz! Have I missed anything? :) Softlavender ( talk) 01:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi Softlavender. You have made a variety of personal attacks against me [1] [2] and I would just like you to know that that is not in the spirit of collaboration and Wikipedia. I ask that you refrain from defiling and personally attacking me because I am trying to build a factual NPOV encyclopedia. We can have discussion on bias instead of throwing insults at each other. Thank you. ButterSlipper ( talk) 01:36, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Wikipedia is corrupted on a fundamental level.

Hi. We do not let the filer of a report have ultimate control over the name of the report, we especially don't let them name the report after their preferred outcome when it is not the case. I have been changing ANI headings to neutral ones for about 12 years now without issue, it is a common practice which is described at WP:TALKHEADPOV and WP:SECTIONHEADINGOWN. Section headings are not owned by any editor and need to be a neutral description of the discussion. It is not fair to Goodday to have section archived with a name like that. I hope that you understand. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 05:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Re your reversion of my close. What do you think about re-closing with a correct block period? Mjroots ( talk) 09:45, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
You really need to strike these false accusations and [4]. Even that shitty source does not say I "perpetuated a hoax". Making that kind of an accusation against another editor, completely unfounded and false, is a very egregious Personal Attack and frankly, I have trouble understanding how any decent person could do that to another.

I think we may have crossed paths before, as ships passing in the night. I recently spotted a link to Wallenstein, an alarm bell rang, and I checked the inlinks. Sure enough - 6 links were intended for Schiller and 3 for a band I'd never heard of (out of 87). If you come across or think of any other WP:PTOPICs or WP:PRIMARYREDIRECTs which might collect bad links, please post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Bluelink patrol#New investigation suggestions. Silly links are a well-hidden problem, and it needs suspicion or imagination to know where to look. Best, Narky Blert ( talk) 02:15, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:SunEdison, Inc. logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:41, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi @ Softlavender: I don't think you understand how the notability tag works. The tag is two-state system. If somebody put's the tag on, and then another checks the article and thinks it is notable and removes the tag, then that is it. That is WP:AGF. After that, if you still think it non-notable, then it must go to Afd. If it is pssses Afd, then it is notable. That is the current process. scope_creep Talk 09:10, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello @ Softlavender:. My corrections of vague & erroneous identifications of NASA spacecraft, along with minor grammatical tweaks (the addition of commas) in the titling of other images - in order to maintain consistency - have been blown away by your reverting to the previous display.
Hey Softlavander, I'm fairly sure it'll be uncontroversial, but out of courtesy wanted to let you know I added your name to your comment at ANI. I'm going to guess there was an extra tilde in there somewhere. Cheers, -- Jack Frost ( talk) 09:20, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
There was no need to attack in your recent edit summary of Broadway Theatre. I was merely reverting your removal. Mark E ( talk) 14:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Coming back to your earlier concerns about Draft:Lathallan School, I have left a couple of comments on the draft. I think it's probably notable by now and an editor is determined to make it so. However, in an attempt to expand the article it now has a distinct overall promotional tone so I won't be moving it to mainspace any time soon. Any concerns about the creator's other edits are not part of this, they only provided the first 7.2% of the text while the other editor has added 82.8% since it has been in draftspace. Thus you are welcome to add a comment there or even attempt to clean it up (if you feel motivated). What do you think? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 21:24, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

On 3 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Plas Dinas, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret spent much time at his family's Welsh country mansion Plas Dinas, but after his father's death the estate went to Snowdon's younger half-brother?

Hi ! I received an alert from Wikipedia informing me that you reverted my edit of yesterday, where I corrected "grandson" in "great-grandson" for the parentage between Rodolphe and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. However, Rodolphe (1980-) is the son of Octave (1946-) and Annabel Lee/Lea, son of Raimund (1906-1974) and Elizabeth Paget (the 6th Marquess of Anglesey's daughter), son of Hugo (1874-1929) and Gertrud Schlesinger, that is to say that Rodolphe is actually Hugo's great-grandson. You can check here : Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Raimund von Hofmannsthal, as well as in Burke's Peerage, for instance here : http://www.thepeerage.com/p18012.htm#i180114. I was not able to find an explanation from you in the "View history" why you reverted it. Would you please explain it to me ? Thanks a lot, and please forgive my english, I'm French !

Hi, Softlavender, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you directly to address a few concerns and clarify my intentions as a newcomer to Wikipedia. Firstly, I would like to apologize if there have been any misunderstandings or misconceptions about my contributions thus far. I wholeheartedly believe in Wikipedia's motto of “ be bold” and the valuable contributions that newcomers can bring, and took this at face value. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to learn from experienced editors like yourself and to become a valued member of the Wikipedia community. I understand that you nominated the article I created about one of the only two concerts Harry Nilsson performed during his lifetime for speedy deletion within a day of me starting it, and it was subsequently deleted. I apologize if my initial attempt fell short in providing sufficient information. I have been reading a biography on Harry Nilsson and was eager to include new insights and citations to enrich the article. However, I was not given the chance to expand the article before it was deleted, which has left me feeling disheartened. Additionally, I noticed via the comment left by the user RL0919 ( talk) on the discussion page that the result of the nomination was a suggestion to merge the article, but unfortunately, the content I wrote was completely removed, preventing me from contributing to the merged article as well. I have also received alerts regarding comments you left on other users' pages, stating that I have a conflict of interest regarding the article on Stanley Dorfman. I want to assure you that there is no conflict of interest on my part. My interest in music television from the UK during the 60s and 70s stems from my personal background and love for British music and television as I grew up there. I have extensively read autobiographies and biographies on the subject matter and consider myself an avid researcher. After coming across Stanley Dorfman's name in several books, I discovered that his Wikipedia article was lacking in detail and proper references, despite his significant role in music television. My intention was simply to contribute my knowledge and help expand the article, not to promote any personal agenda. I understand too, that you nominated every photograph I uploaded for use in multiple articles as well as Dorfman's for deletion. I would like to address the comment you made (I believe on the Drmies ( talk) or Johnbod ( talk) page), where you referred to my contributions as "rabid." Such disparaging remarks are disheartening and discourage further contributions. I request that we maintain a respectful and constructive environment as we interact with one another. I am dedicated to accuracy, integrity, and completeness in my research, and I aspire to uphold those principles in any edits and contributions I make. As a newcomer, I am eager to learn from more experienced editors and correct any mistakes I may make along the way. It would be immensely encouraging if, in the future, you could directly notify me of any errors or point me towards relevant policy pages, so that I may have the opportunity to rectify any missteps and improve. I would sincerely appreciate any guidance and feedback you may have, and the opportunity to learn from your wisdom and experience. I am committed to dedicating my time and effort to contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia and expand the information available, particularly on topics that genuinely interest me. I hope to one day become a valued member of the Wikipedia community. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I genuinely appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.

A single revert in an article of an edit you made without prior discussion doesn’t constitute an edit war, whether the revert was justified or not. As per BRD the correct approach after a revert is discussion. Kindly restrict your use of warnings posted on other editors’ own talk pages to situations where they are justified under policy.

Hey Softlavander, I'm fairly sure it'll be uncontroversial, but out of courtesy wanted to let you know I added your name to your comment at ANI. I'm going to guess there was an extra tilde in there somewhere. Cheers, -- Jack Frost ( talk) 09:20, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
There was no need to attack in your recent edit summary of Broadway Theatre. I was merely reverting your removal. Mark E ( talk) 14:39, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Coming back to your earlier concerns about Draft:Lathallan School, I have left a couple of comments on the draft. I think it's probably notable by now and an editor is determined to make it so. However, in an attempt to expand the article it now has a distinct overall promotional tone so I won't be moving it to mainspace any time soon. Any concerns about the creator's other edits are not part of this, they only provided the first 7.2% of the text while the other editor has added 82.8% since it has been in draftspace. Thus you are welcome to add a comment there or even attempt to clean it up (if you feel motivated). What do you think? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 21:24, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
Softlavender,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable

On 3 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Plas Dinas, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lord Snowdon and Princess Margaret spent much time at his family's Welsh country mansion Plas Dinas, but after his father's death the estate went to Snowdon's younger half-brother? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Plas Dinas. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Plas Dinas), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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 received an alert from Wikipedia informing me that you reverted my edit of yesterday, where I corrected "grandson" in "great-grandson" for the parentage between Rodolphe and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. However, Rodolphe (1980-) is the son of Octave (1946-) and Annabel Lee/Lea, son of Raimund (1906-1974) and Elizabeth Paget (the 6th Marquess of Anglesey's daughter), son of Hugo (1874-1929) and Gertrud Schlesinger, that is to say that Rodolphe is actually Hugo's great-grandson. You can check here : Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Raimund von Hofmannsthal, as well as in Burke's Peerage, for instance here : http://www.thepeerage.com/p18012.htm#i180114. I was not able to find an explanation from you in the "View history" why you reverted it. Would you please explain it to me ? Thanks a lot, and please forgive my english, I'm French !

Hi, Softlavender, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you directly to address a few concerns and clarify my intentions as a newcomer to Wikipedia. Firstly, I would like to apologize if there have been any misunderstandings or misconceptions about my contributions thus far. I wholeheartedly believe in Wikipedia's motto of “ be bold” and the valuable contributions that newcomers can bring, and took this at face value. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to learn from experienced editors like yourself and to become a valued member of the Wikipedia community. I understand that you nominated the article I created about one of the only two concerts Harry Nilsson performed during his lifetime for speedy deletion within a day of me starting it, and it was subsequently deleted. I apologize if my initial attempt fell short in providing sufficient information. I have been reading a biography on Harry Nilsson and was eager to include new insights and citations to enrich the article. However, I was not given the chance to expand the article before it was deleted, which has left me feeling disheartened. Additionally, I noticed via the comment left by the user RL0919 ( talk) on the discussion page that the result of the nomination was a suggestion to merge the article, but unfortunately, the content I wrote was completely removed, preventing me from contributing to the merged article as well. I have also received alerts regarding comments you left on other users' pages, stating that I have a conflict of interest regarding the article on Stanley Dorfman. I want to assure you that there is no conflict of interest on my part. My interest in music television from the UK during the 60s and 70s stems from my personal background and love for British music and television as I grew up there. I have extensively read autobiographies and biographies on the subject matter and consider myself an avid researcher. After coming across Stanley Dorfman's name in several books, I discovered that his Wikipedia article was lacking in detail and proper references, despite his significant role in music television. My intention was simply to contribute my knowledge and help expand the article, not to promote any personal agenda. I understand too, that you nominated every photograph I uploaded for use in multiple articles as well as Dorfman's for deletion. I would like to address the comment you made (I believe on the Drmies ( talk) or Johnbod ( talk) page), where you referred to my contributions as "rabid." Such disparaging remarks are disheartening and discourage further contributions. I request that we maintain a respectful and constructive environment as we interact with one another. I am dedicated to accuracy, integrity, and completeness in my research, and I aspire to uphold those principles in any edits and contributions I make. As a newcomer, I am eager to learn from more experienced editors and correct any mistakes I may make along the way. It would be immensely encouraging if, in the future, you could directly notify me of any errors or point me towards relevant policy pages, so that I may have the opportunity to rectify any missteps and improve. I would sincerely appreciate any guidance and feedback you may have, and the opportunity to learn from your wisdom and experience. I am committed to dedicating my time and effort to contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia and expand the information available, particularly on topics that genuinely interest me. I hope to one day become a valued member of the Wikipedia community. Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I genuinely appreciate your consideration and look forward to your response.

Were you saying that I didn’t put in a non-breaking space in “A. M. Homes” or that it shouldn’t be a non-breaking space? Because if the latter, as a member of the two-initial club, I respectfully disagree. D A Hosek ( talk) 15:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

A single revert in an article of an edit you made without prior discussion doesn’t constitute an edit war, whether the revert was justified or not. As per BRD the correct approach after a revert is discussion. Kindly restrict your use of warnings posted on other editors’ own talk pages to situations where they are justified under policy. Thank you. MapReader ( talk) 07:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
