Thanks for uploading File:LagoanIslesroyalarms.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) 18:55, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Your reverts by me on the Mac-10 and Glock section, are actually classed as vandalism due to you removing info or degrading the quality of a sentence/section of the wiki.
Just because I fought with you guys over how Assault Rifle doesn't stand for AR, doesn't mean you can target my contributions.
Thank you for understanding.

Hi Adolphus79! Sorry about reverting all your edits on the West Florida article; as soon as I saw my mistake, I reverted it. The last edit you made left behind a bracket (which I went ahead and fixed) and incorrectly assumed you were a new user. Once again, I apologize for the confusion.

I don't think John M Wolfson meant displaying knowledge through talk page disputes, but instead participation in the deletion processes (AfD, CSD, and PROD). Just a thought. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 22:38, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
admins hav[ing] to be jacks-of-all-trades and be knowledgeable about every single aspect, not just the areas they frequent, but even the areas they have no intention of ever working, admins don't have to be knowledgeable about literally everything (I for one have rarely if ever set foot in either RFPP or AIV, preferring to stick to Main Page stuff), but deletion is such a basic toolset that separates the mopped from the mopless that all candidates (barring anything extraordinary) should have at least a cursory glance at each of the main deletion processes. I myself have rarely done any since my RfA back in 2020, but I can still tell what is and what is not a proper deletion rationale. Good on you for your two GAs, and it should only take several months to get acquainted with CSD and PROD, but your exit from the poll is not a good look. โย John M Wolfsonย ( talkย โขย contribs) 23:47, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Adolphus79,
I saw that you have disputed some of my changes to the Englisch version of the page for InnoGames. I intend to edit this page (and the German one) further. I will do my best to provide acceptable citations. However, with regards to your dispute of my changes to the table of live games: I don't see how reverting to a version that doesn't provide any citations either represents an improvement. The list of current live games can be retrieved from the InnoGames website. The games' publication dates can be retrieved from the existing Wiki pages and press releases. Do you expect me to provide two citations (link to German wiki page + link to press release) for every game in the table? That seems overkill to me. And, again, the current table, to which you reverted, doesn't provide any citations either. Please advise.
Best

You created this article, and then tagged it for WP:PROD. Did you mean to request for its speedy deletion? If so, you should have tagged it with {{ db-author}}. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:46, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
hey many of them are editing my page and they deleting something so is there any ways to protect my page to prevent vandalism? DJ CatzZ ( talk) 00:56, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Users are contributing to my page- This is not your page. You do not own the page. Articles in Wikipedia are a collective ownwership. If the article is about you, please read WP:AUTOB and see that writing an autobiographical articles is very strongly discouraged. - 14:40, 25 May 2023 (UTC) UtherSRG (talk) 14:40, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lynn, Ohio, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.
The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lynn, Ohio until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Hey.
Based on your comments here about how you feel as though you're often wrong about such things at RfPP, I'd suggest that you might want to just lurk in the page for a while. To make it constructive, you could make notes off-wiki on whether you would or would not protect a page, or recommend/undertake some other action like blocking a disruptive editor, and then when an admin actually actions the report you could compare to see if you were right or wrong.
Depending on how your predictions go, you can then re-calibrate based on the actual outcome and hopefully get a better feel for when an article should or should not be protected, or when some other action is called for. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 19:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Adolphus79, we've never met and I don't know anything about your work on Wikipedia but I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your helpful comments and explanations.

The reason I added the comments Spengler made critical of National Socialism is because if you read that article as it stands now, and you donยดt read about Spengler in of himself, you may very well come to the conclusion that he himself was a Nazi fanatic. And besides, the comments I quoted are themselves sourced on his own article. StrongALPHA ( talk) 09:53, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi. You are now listed as missing, as we seek to recognize those editors who impacted the project and are no longer contributing.
