Three times now you have edit conflicted me on this page. Each time with something more succinct, convincing and on topic. But my comments have been more amusing and witty, to me anyway. You have probably saved me a great deal of regret. No reason for calling. But because of you I can sleep well tonight, knowing I have not inadvertently offended anyone.

Hi, just to make you aware, I've received this message Dr. Vogel ( talk) 21:39, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Your relisting at this move request you made on 5 Nov. was not processed by the bot until today. Just fyi, be sure to place the subst. Relisting template on the same line as the nom's sig. You had left a line break between the nom's sig and the Relisting template, which the RMCD bot could not process. Thank you very much for your edits and for your future attention to this! P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 13:35, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Just fyi, Spekkios, this was discussed over at User talk:RMCD bot#Relistings are not being processed, and the bot operator decided to upgrade the RMCD bot to recognize relistings even if there is a line break between the OP's sig and the relisting template. Thought you should know. Best of Everything to You and Yours! P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 03:12, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
Any further thoughts on whether it would be appropriate to take one or all of those to MR? I've been considering taking Lodz on its own, but I wanted to get your opinion before doing anything. BilledMammal ( talk) 08:42, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Hey Spekkios, I've noticed you enjoy commenting on my posts to oppose them or reverting my edits without discussion. I want to remind you that we can discuss issues on the talk page rather than just reverting edits because you personally disagree with them. It comes off as WP:HOUNDING and WP:STONEWALLING when you tend to appear in many articles I edit. Your reasoning seems to be wildly inconsistent and mostly consists of opposition to anything I edit. I hope you can see this from my perspective and how it comes off incredibly disheartening and rude. Desertambition ( talk) 20:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
I saw that you closed the merge request for Afrikaners and Boers because you personally disagreed with it. It's good practice to relist when there isn't a consensus, not close the discussion. Wikipedia is spreading misinformation if we pretend Afrikaners and Boers aren't the exact same people. Do you think we should have separate articles on Peking and Beijing too? You also deleted my edits on confederate flags because you didn't like it either, despite evidence showing otherwise. Desertambition ( talk) 23:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
discusses information originally presented elsewhere. Were is the "elsewhere" for the HP video? There is none, because they don't cite anything. Just because it's HP or WP doesn't mean they can state whatever they like without sourcing it. As for that pdf it's dead but I found it on Webarchive and it claims that
Representative John W. A. Sanford, Jr., the sponsor of the bill served in the 60th Alabama Infantry Regiment in the Civil War and modeled the flag after the Regiment's battle flag.which is a claim I cannot seem to find anywhere else. -- Spekkios ( talk) 00:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Alabama is one of only a few states that incorporate confederate symbolism in their state flag, and especially not in the lead. The possible confederate symbolism, including the opinion of the attorney-general, is discussed further down the page.

I don't think interacting with Desertambition is productive. It's clear the user doesn't listen. I'd recommend just ignoring the user. They're going to object to anything we say. No objective person could read that TALK page and come to any other conclusion other than the Desertambition is unreasonable. Thanks so much for your help researching the topic.

Hello Spekkios, I saw that you closed the move request for Uitenhage immediately after it was reopened by the closer. Would you consider reopening it? There were only two responses and I believe more input would be helpful in determining consensus. It strikes me as strange to close the request immediately after it was reopened. Desertambition ( talk) 19:39, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello Spekkios, apologies for posting two messages so quickly but would you consider reopening the Queenstown, South Africa move request? I believe more input would be helpful and there were three users including myself that supported the move. I believe the close was premature. Desertambition ( talk) 19:42, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of Queenstown, South Africa. Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Desertambition ( talk) 20:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Your closure of Talk:Kingdom of Pontus#Requested move 23 February 2022 was based on nothing more than a head count, without seriously asssessing the strength of the arguments. None of those advocating for natural disambiguation showed that the current title was common enough as mandated by WP:NDAB. Please vacate your closure and let a more experienced editor or administrator do it. Avilich ( talk) 14:34, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Spekkios, in case you haven't noticed it, there's now a move review of the close at Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2022 April#Talk:Kingdom of Pontus. Avilich, as the instructions at the top of the page say, when starting a MRV you're supposed to notify the closer. – Uanfala (talk) 00:01, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
About your no consensus closure of the RM at Talk:Fixed point (mathematics), I fail to see why you would close an RM while acknowledging that further discussion of the title is needed. Moreover, I don't see anyone in the discussion saying that the article should keep its current (ambiguous) title. If further discussion is needed to determine a better title choice, I think the RM discussion should simply continue, and I ask you to revert your closure. — BarrelProof ( talk) 18:39, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
Regarding this: Talk:Shiori Kutsuna It says "moved" as the result, but the article is not moved yet. Is there a delay I didn't know about? Blocsrich ( talk) 23:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, please could you tell me why you relisted the Requested Move for this article when it had no further comments? No minimum participation is required as per WP:RMNOMIN and it seemed very unnecessary. Thanks. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 17:33, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello. In July, you removed "Türkiye". And now suddenly "Republic of Türkiye" as well. What changed? It remained like this, and suddenly starting to edit. I would suggest to engage on talk page. Beshogur ( talk) 14:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Kia ora Spekkios - recently I've noticed you engage in several move requests immediately or soon after I did. Could you please explain the timing of these, as it's starting to feel personal based on my involvement, or at the very least as though you're following my history. Turnagra ( talk) 09:29, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
This is a reply to the edit summary on your most recent edit to Talk:East Timor {should be called “Talk:Timor-Leste”}.
Why can’t I apply !votes to other people’s comments or delete other people’s comments? That makes literally no sense, and you haven’t provided the article of the United States Constitution (where I live) in which it states I can’t do that. I will leave your revert alone, but I am going to have to add a citation needed tag until the issue is resolved. Judeinator9001 ( talk) 04:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your involvement in the article, however your recent closure of 2023 Turkey-Syria Earthquakes name discussion should be market as no consensus as none was reached. Please change it.

Since you recently participated in the Charles III requested move discussion, I thought you might like to know that there are two other discussions currently going on about other British monarch article titles here and here. Cheers. Rreagan007 ( talk) 22:18, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
