I have made no such edits on their actual pages so i have no idea what you are writing me this for. I questioned on the talk page if events that really happened in life should be included on the subjects personal life topic.
David Grohl has admitted to his multiple cases of infidility. The people that make those statements have it on their page but this info is lacking on the other party involved. In the case of dave grohl there is a pattern of infidelity and as much as i like him i think this should be added to his page. The comments are on Post's page. The comments are on mary j blige's page. But nowhere to be found on either grohls or K-Ci pages.
You dont have to search very hard to find dave admitting this and the info is out in the public domain. It may be contentious but that is not my concern since these events did happen and are well documented. It does not really concern me if you or dave, for that matter, does not like the truth being told.
The talk pages not really public facing pages so could hardly be considered making edits on their pages. Have a nice day EnveeNV ( talk) 18:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Cullen,
I'm new to Wikipedia editing, and recently added an External Link to these two pages:
/info/en/?search=Kripalvananda /info/en/?search=Kripalu_Center
Link text: "Comprehensive Documentation of Swami Kripalvananda's Life"
Link URL: https://swamikripalvananda.org/
I've added the above link at the bottom of the External Links list.
My question is, for the first page, /info/en/?search=Kripalvananda, the first two external links listed are both non-secure, and are lower quality sites than the one I added. Is it possible for me to have my link moved to the top of the list, or is that bad Wikipedia etiquette? I'm concerned that users will click the first two External links, see they're poor quality, and not bother to click the one I posted.
Thank you. -- Evading Deer ( talk) 17:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Cullen (or any TPS)! Found you on the list of participants at WikiProject Judaism. Do you have any idea what the correct link would be for this? I'm not sure it's 1970s Soviet Union aliyah, as Gershkovich's parents didn't go to Israel and people who went to the US instead are referred to as 'dropouts' in that article, but there doesn't seem to be an article for Dropout (aliyah); maybe there should be or it's under another name and hasn't been linked from aliyah? I could link to the section that mentions dropouts: 1970s_Soviet_Union_aliyah#Absorption_of_new_immigrants_in_Israel but it still seems a little confusing? Valereee ( talk) 11:37, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Cullen, how are you? I hope you're doing well. I was looking to create this article, 2023 Cricket World Cup Final as a brand new proper article from scratch so that I can be credited as the original author and creator of this article. It is not a true article as it never had any content in it and was created by someone many years ago only as a redirect to the main article 2023 Cricket World Cup. Now since the schedule and many other details have been confirmed by the International Cricket Council, hence I would be very thankful if you could delete this redirect 2023 Cricket World Cup Final so that I can create a new article on it.

Hi, Cullen. I don't think we're supposed to block IPs indefinitely, as you did with 2402:3a80:10df:2e62:f791:a07c:7761:7ed2 on 331dot's page. Also, I reckon you might like to block the /64 range, 2402:3a80:10df:2e62::/64, instead of just the one IP? Note, I've blocked the other /64, 2402:3A80:10D0:20F3::/64, obviously the same person, and also harassing Beeblebrox, for two weeks. There may be a bigger range that we could block, I'm not good with those. What about you, Beebs? Bishonen | tålk 08:01, 15 April 2023 (UTC).

hi do i make my own page? -- Sussy daddy ( talk) 13:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for all your work and contributions!
I am a founder of Memrise (language learning app), and for a long time it has pained me that the wikipedia page is woefully inaccurate - eg it has a fanciful number for our revenues that I have no idea where it came from, lists the wrong languages that we offer, wrong number of users, wrong feature set... etc.
I made a few changes myself and then someone on my team was updating further changes. Our approach was to make sure we reference any change so that everyone can see the source information. We are also trying to write it not as a promotion - I just want the info to be accurate.
I see you reverted some changes as they were by a non-disclosed paid person. You're right - they were, but our intent was not malicious! I hope that was obvious by the fact that I made the initial changes from my own account with my name clearly visible :)
How do we declare that we are doing this ourselves in the interests of accuracy? I'm totally happy to have the information checked and made totally un-salesy. I just want it to be true. Sorry for causing trouble by doing it the wrong way, any advice would be hugely appreciated!

I did not put a claim that Lee Harvey Oswald was innocent. I am aware that not everyone agrees if Lee Harvey Oswald was the shooter. The change I made only adds that Lee Harvey Oswald was shot before he could stand trial. And it removes the statement that he was definitely the shooter. So are you saying he was not shot before he could stand trial? Are you saying Lee Harvey Oswald was tried in a court of law? I just don't understand why you find my change to be a lie.

Just a note here because I am permabanned, for I think obnoxious prolixity, from any AE related page and cannot comment there. First I'd like to thank you for supporting a reconsideration of David's request.
As one of the infamous 'gang of four', besides Nableezy, Zero and Huldra, I too stand by David's request, fully aware that, because I think of an ingrained cognitive blind spot arising from his deep religious sense of Israel/Palestine as Eretz Israel, David will, if allowed back, still tend to make slipups, but neither deliberately nor provocatively. The sympathy for David, apart from his amenity generally, comes from a recognition that he is really both erudite and tenaciously committed to the encyclopedic aims of wikipedia. Many of us appear to agree that much of the heat of this I/P area is dispersed if editors underwrite a commitment to high quality sourcing, and there is no doubt that David accepts this.
He does need mentoring, but that is a difficult business, overseeing a productive editor. It's not in our rulebook but were someway to be found to suggest (Nableezy suggests a rule that he desist and revert immediately if anyone challenges his inadvertent boundary violations, for example) that editors there from whatever side do not jump the gun at any possible infraction to report him, but talk it over with David and his mentor, I'm sure the inevitable lapses can be remedied collegially, to wikipedia's advantage. His superb knowledge deserves encouragement and cultivation around here, where politics tends to obscure what is the essential core of our project, informed factual coverage.

So that may explain why ample BPP literature was found at his apartment? ( "Reading material".) It is not "evidence" against anything.

Hello, can you finally close this topic? It has long acquired the character of a vicious circle, where someone brings charges against me, I try to defend myself, in response, new accusations are made against me, and so on in a circle without any result. In one case, the person even bluntly admitted that he was intentionally hostile to me and stopped only after I pointed out to him that his actions only fueled the argument even more and potentially provoked me to new answers. I was already warned about the outcome of the section at the very beginning and wrote in the afternoon that in order to avoid further senseless conflict, I will not do anything if people do not agree with my arguments, so as far as I understand, this can be safely closed a long time ago in order to avoid further flooding and accusations.

Hello, @ Cullen328:, I have written my article on the Dewar's Candy Shop (link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dewar%27s_Candy_Shop ) and I have submitted it for review. Gråbang Gråa Sång told me it is good enough to be moved into article space. (I don't know what your opinion is on my article, but feel free to tell me.) The instructions on WP:MOVE are quite confusing, especially since it assumes you have a laptop (which I don't). What I would like to know is it possible to move it to article space when I have already submitted it and the review is waiting. If so, could you please do that for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! Additional Note: Gråbang Gråa Sång told me that it is allowed to move an article to article space right after you make it. The Capitalist forever ( talk) 21:39, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

The change I made only adds that Lee Harvey Oswald was shot before he could stand trial. And it removes the statement that he was definitely the shooter. So are you saying he was not shot before he could stand trial? Are you saying Lee Harvey Oswald was tried in a court of law? I just don't understand why you find my change to be a lie.

Thank you for helping me make this edit clearer. From the comment you left on my talk page I can see how my original wording could have been misinterpreted. Jacob81 ( talk) 09:02, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Cullen, I semi-protected your Talk page for 12 hours because of the repeated vandalism from Indian IPs. Feel free to undo it (although it might make work for your colleagues, reverting, blocking, etc.), shorten it, lengthen it, whatever.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 01:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
I appreciated your help last night. I have another question or two though. I was unable to ask the teahouse because of all the vandalism lockdown. I have 12 notifications, and I'm not sure where they are from. I can't mark them as read, and I have already gone through reading my watchlist and talks.Also, do you need to visual editor to attach photos? Thanks!

I think I get it. Thanks for advice!

Just a note here because I am permabanned, for I think obnoxious prolixity, from any AE related page and cannot comment there. First I'd like to thank you for supporting a reconsideration of David's request.
As one of the infamous 'gang of four', besides Nableezy, Zero and Huldra, I too stand by David's request, fully aware that, because I think of an ingrained cognitive blind spot arising from his deep religious sense of Israel/Palestine as Eretz Israel, David will, if allowed back, still tend to make slipups, but neither deliberately nor provocatively. The sympathy for David, apart from his amenity generally, comes from a recognition that he is really both erudite and tenaciously committed to the encyclopedic aims of wikipedia. Many of us appear to agree that much of the heat of this I/P area is dispersed if editors underwrite a commitment to high quality sourcing, and there is no doubt that David accepts this.
He does need mentoring, but that is a difficult business, overseeing a productive editor. It's not in our rulebook but were someway to be found to suggest (Nableezy suggests a rule that he desist and revert immediately if anyone challenges his inadvertent boundary violations, for example) that editors there from whatever side do not jump the gun at any possible infraction to report him, but talk it over with David and his mentor, I'm sure the inevitable lapses can be remedied collegially, to wikipedia's advantage. His superb knowledge deserves encouragement and cultivation around here, where politics tends to obscure what is the essential core of our project, informed factual coverage.

a blog that chronicles the gossipy media worldin 2010. Maybe their journalistic integrity has soared since then without me noticing. I know that many Wikipedians think that I am an old fogey, but I think that better sources than that are required for contentious material in a BLP, even when I dislike the person in question.

Hi! It seems that after this thread there isn't much wider community appetite to do anything about it. This seems to leave you as the only person who can reasonably do something here. With the benefit of hindsight, I imagine you'll likely evaluate the situation differently? – Uanfala ( talk) 09:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to know how you get articles to create and improve. Is there a list or something (I find requested articles not that helpful) where there's articles needed or something like that? And where do you your reliable sources? Thanks! Vamsi20 ( ask me questions) ( see what I've edited) 12:48, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed a sudden page move by User:Themodifie7 of Allahabad Kumbh Mela to Prayag Kumbh Mela and cannot get a response from the user. Could you help settle this issue? Thanks for the help, HeartCat1 💬 📝 05:00, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
(carrying on here instead of User talk Harrias) First of all, me too. Second of all, that account was created one month after the block in question. Makes me wonder. -- Deepfriedokra ( talk) 19:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Can you revoke TPA for Bigboobafiicionado98? Their recent comments on their talk page clearly show that they are not here to build an encyclopedia and likely won't be for a long time. Contacting you as you were the blocking admin. -- Shadow of the Starlit Sky 13:02, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Cullen; one of the accounts you blocked is on my watchlist and I saw that you blocked them with the spamublock template with account creation blocked, but the block message you gave them was for a softblock inviting them to create a new account. -- Ponyo bons mots 17:41, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, this IP is resuming their editing pattern after your previous 1 month block for block evasion. Do you believe that it's the same person as before? I'd normally report this to WP:AIV but I figured you would be more familiar with this since you blocked the IP last. Thanks. 73.67.145.30 ( talk) 17:02, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Dear Jim, I hope you and your family are well. Happy Mother’s Day to your wife! We just looked at John’s page and noticed some changes. The mention that John’s painting was shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been deleted. Can it please be added back in? I was removed as John’s wife. As references, both the NY Times profile and the Newsday article state we’re married (in 2004). Is it possible to add that the Attica documentary was nominated for an Oscar? Thank you once again for your time and commitment to making Wikipedia even better. Ann Yih Johnson Johnson73 ( talk) 23:12, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
There is nothing non-neutral about the fact (even more so in the 60s and 70s) Essex was a member of the Black Panthers. If you read all the references and literature, it is proven. Be happy to add further references if you'd like more citations. Thx. Kieronoldham ( talk) 21:41, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
So that may explain why ample BPP literature was found at his apartment? ( "Reading material".) It is not "evidence" against anything. The guy was seeking self-identity and pride in his culture/heritage. The Cawthorne book states Frank introduced him to the Black Panthers, with whom he was active.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 22:27, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, can you finally close this topic? It has long acquired the character of a vicious circle, where someone brings charges against me, I try to defend myself, in response, new accusations are made against me, and so on in a circle without any result. In one case, the person even bluntly admitted that he was intentionally hostile to me and stopped only after I pointed out to him that his actions only fueled the argument even more and potentially provoked me to new answers. I was already warned about the outcome of the section at the very beginning and wrote in the afternoon that in order to avoid further senseless conflict, I will not do anything if people do not agree with my arguments, so as far as I understand, this can be safely closed a long time ago in order to avoid further flooding and accusations.

Hi dear Jim, John and I see you’re editing his page and want to thank you very much! He says hello! Could you please make my name Ann Yih Johnson instead of Ann Yih? Also, John would like to know if you can revert his page to the version you wrote last year, which included his MA from City College of New York, an honorary doctorate from St. Thomas Aquinas College, and his paintings shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Walter Wickiser Gallery in Chelsea We appreciate it!

Hello, @ Cullen328:, I have written my article on the Dewar's Candy Shop (link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Dewar%27s_Candy_Shop ) and I have submitted it for review. Gråbang Gråa Sång told me it is good enough to be moved into article space. (I don't know what your opinion is on my article, but feel free to tell me.) The instructions on WP:MOVE are quite confusing, especially since it assumes you have a laptop (which I don't). What I would like to know is it possible to move it to article space when I have already submitted it and the review is waiting. If so, could you please do that for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! Additional Note: Gråbang Gråa Sång told me that it is allowed to move an article to article space right after you make it. The Capitalist forever ( talk) 21:39, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
@ Cullen328: That's ok, I was just curious since I already submitted it to the Afc review, if it is still possible to manually move it to article space as described in WP:MOVE. The Capitalist forever ( talk) 21:46, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
@ Cullen328:Alright then, I'll just wait for it to be reviewed. Thanks for your time and advice! The Capitalist forever ( talk) 21:50, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
