Hi Serge. Please see your email. Thanks. Ss 112 07:08, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
Serge would be correct. I have this page watchlisted; the vandalism report is quite useful, plus sometimes the content/drama on this talk page makes for tasty popcorn (entertainment). Feel free to correct the indent, I'm on mobile and can't tell how many that is. dannymusiceditor oops 16:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Mlb96 has reverted my warning without addressing any of the concerns, telling me to stay off their talk page. As is their right, technically. So their next violation will simply be to block their account. Anyone please let me know if you experience any CIV/NPA problems with them and I'll take care of it. Thanks.

Hi Serge. Please see this thread: User talk:Morbius#Editor is edit warring and editing logged out. It needs attention because this editor is categorically going through and reverting my edits of their bold and misguided changes as I speak. For the record, this editor has been blocked indefinitely from the Italian Wikipedia so that's already bad news. Thanks. Ss 112 17:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi! Do you think you could help me with moving The JOJOLands to The JoJoLands, in accordance with MOS:ALLCAPS? I would do it myself, but the latter is a redirect with history - and I figured it's probably fastest to ask you for help. Alexandra IDV 00:33, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I was thinking of creating an article consisting of the soundtracks from the Xenoblade series. The music from these games plays a large role in why the series is popular among fans. From a glance, there appears to be enough sources (from each game article) to justify an article for the entire series. I’m sure there are additional sources I can add, especially for the latter games. What are your thoughts? MomoQca ( talk) 14:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi Serge. For several years now, multiple editors, including Livelikemusic and I, have tried to get Whippy7 to leave edit summaries for all of their edits, which arbitrarily rearrange track listing credits to not how they are credited, but rather how Whippy7 prefers them. If somebody changes them back, Whippy7 often reverts them, either manually or directly, but usually without explanation. They have mostly refused to leave summaries apart from occasional instances, instead preferring to rant at their "shamers" on their talk page. Livelikemusic and I have both replied in a thread on Whippy7's talk page this month, but Whippy7 has mostly replied with rants about how they're a victim and refused to engage with the point of why they are continuing to rearrange songwriters as they see fit. They have taken everything (especially my saying I was exhausted with their edits) as a "personal attack". I have not, in my time on Wikipedia, come across anybody as fixated on track lists and their arrangement/crediting to of songwriters and producers as Whippy7. They have never explained their reasoning for their arbitrary rearrangements and changes and it appears neither Livelikemusic nor I can get them to stop. They have been blocked multiple times for disruption and editing while logged out, and have a long history of final warnings from Livelikemusic and other editors. Would you be able to leave them a message to stop this? The warnings have been happening since 2018. Ss 112 04:38, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

[p]roposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing. Feedback is being accepted until 24 April 2023.
Hi Serge. I asked the editor David829 to stop editing while logged out in 2021. Prior to this, the first time I posted on their talk page, they removed a message while logged out. David829 has recently restored an edit while logged out on One Thing at a Time that they had previously made while logged in that I reverted. More concerningly, David829 does not interact with or explain themselves to anybody, and elsewhere has also utilised editing with their IP address here and, when reverted, then editing while logged in to restore a related edit here. I really believe that this is an attempt to evade scrutiny until or unless their edits are challenged. Ss 112 06:52, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of video game soundtracks on music streaming platforms until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
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 until the discussion has finished.

Just saw this reply to a warning I left in January: [3]. Isn't this sort of comment just blockworthy on the face of it? Straight-up toxic presence. Ss 112 00:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
As a new user of Wikipedia I was tasked with updating some random articles that may have been of interest to me. Opera Design Matters came up and it was a pretty broken page, still is. I tried to look for some information regarding the company and could only find promotional material from the company itself, and it has very little following on social media of any kind.
I tried to do what I could and saw controversy regarding it from 13 years ago about being a possible advertisement article and tend to agree that is true, although I don't want to make such strong claims without evidence. However, I do want to try to discuss with an admin about possibly electing the article to be a candidate for deletion, as it definitely does not meet the notability requirements WP:N. Specifically, I can't find an ounce of independent information regarding this company; I don't feel it belongs on Wikipedia.
Since I am new, could I get some advice and possibly a second opinion about this article and notability? Xelapilled ( talk) 07:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello Sergecross73! I'm Jasmine, a recent Greta Van Fleet Wikipedia page contributor. My college professor assigned me to contribute to any Wikipedia page and use our contributions, which must still be up, as evidence for our Wikipedia breakdown presentation. Unfortunately, as I returned to prepare my presentation, I noticed that you had removed my contribution because of "miswording from a YouTube video." Please double-check that. I'm going to re-upload my edit, and if there is anything I need to edit or source, please let me know, as I need my work up for my presentation. Thank you so much for your understanding. I hope you have a great rest of your day. Regards, Jasmine Jasmine.Porres.100 ( talk) 20:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi Serge. Not sure if you've seen but I sent you an email the other day about a user who seems fine to mix constructive edits with vandalism and unnecessarily profane edit summaries, who, despite several run-ins with admins, seems to have never been formally warned for their behaviour. For example, this is very clearly not appropriate. Ss 112 23:50, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
If you are going to talk to me with that attitude, I’m quitting Wikipedia. The fact that you are an admin and you talk to someone with that attitude is disgraceful, both to yourself and all of Wikipedia. The site says that they want everyone to contribute, but that is not the case. I QUIT!!!! Are you from New York, because you sure are rood. Manny Manatee ( talk) 01:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
"That doesn't make any sense, how could someone reasonably believe something was announced 6 months in the future" You know these articles often go years untouched, right? The edit clarified the text regardless. Now it says there was an announcement in the future, whether people should reasonably believe that or not. Lizmo ( talk) 00:56, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry if i made a mistake but when looking at - for example the Wii, it wasn't 'manufactured' by Nintendo but by Foxconn, As its not Foxconns platform, its Nintendo's - i thought developed and manufactured was different? StarStorm10 ( talk) 18:18, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey Serge I just want to say I am sorry to hear about your article of game soundtrack on streaming services got deleted it really is a shame to see it go but I hope your not too upset about it also if you are interested there is a website called VGMdatabase where you can find some soundtracks that are streaming so I guess you can check that out. Anyways to wrap it I just want to say thanks for creating the article it was fun while it lasted. NakhlaMan ( talk) 14:16, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Hey Sergecross73,
Not sure if this is the right way to go about it - but wanted to see about re-opening the discussion around TechRaptor within videogame talk / reliable sources. I've noticed your name on a few discussions (I check the page regularly to see what ya'll are saying about different sites) so I figured I'd reach out.
We get cited quite often for our reporting or stories these days, and we've built up a solid team and policies that govern how we create content. Granted I'm the owner, so I'm biased, but one of my larger goals is becoming a reliable source and ultimately getting us a Wikipedia page.
If this was the wrong way to do this, feel free to ignore me! My e-mail rutledge[at]techraptor.net if there's any direct questions I can't answer here! TheRealRutledg ( talk) 19:42, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
