in working on User:Doug Weller/Draft: Goyim Defense League? I think the network's recent activities have made it notable. [1] [2] Doug Weller talk 09:20, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello The Gnome,
I hope I don't come across as too grumpy here, but - can I convince you to withdraw the RFC you made? As others have pointed out, it seems designed to ensure that if any change happens, it happens exceedingly slowly, or that the proposal entirely fails for being uselessly vague. With all respect, you should not have been the one to reopen this discussion - that burden should be on advocates of a change. Procedural listings are fine when the locus of action is obvious (e.g. AFD), but not for this case. I'm in favor of removing Portal links but I can't even blame people voting against this proposal because it doesn't say what it's going to do, which is a major violation of what would make a good RFC.
Finally I recognize that you were probably trying to do a good deed to kick the process forward after JBchrch said he wouldn't be filing the next round of the RFC himself, but you know what they say about no good deed goes unpunished... SnowFire ( talk) 23:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
I have already explained to you several times why copy editing articles in a manner that leaves uncited paragraphs or changes direct quotes is counterproductive. The question is why do you keep doing this again and again? On a separate note inserting footnotes to the lede goes contrary to WP:LEDE. I believe that an editor with 15 years under their belt should know better than that. If you continue to copyedit articles in a disruptive manner I will have no option but to go to ANI.-- Catlemur ( talk) 11:17, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
TG, would you look into the John Lott move and the loss of the archive? A new one has just been created but I believe a previous one was lost. As an example this edit/discussion is not in the current archive [3]. Thanks Springee ( talk) 00:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello The Gnome. I didn't even realize that the John Lott page move editor was an Admin. I note that, despite the protests they did not respond in any constructive way or even with respectful dissent. I wonder whether it's worth nominating them for desysop or at least a stiff sanction of some sort? What do you think? SPECIFICO talk 12:11, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm looking for some help to review a draft article for the online poker room operator GGPoker. I'm not sure if you saw my posts to Wikiproject Poker or Wikiproject Gambling, since it looks like you're a member of both, but full disclosure: I work for NSUSLab, GGPoker's platform developer and have a financial conflict of interest, and I'm looking for feedback on this draft article for GGPoker from editors with relevant experience. The initial draft was declined, and it has since been edited but feedback has been difficult to come by.
If you could provide any feedback, positive or negative, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time! Chris H (GGPoker) ( talk) 11:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
I've added Age to Template:Infobox boxing match, and updated the documentation following the result of an RfC you started ( Template talk:Infobox boxing match#RfC about fighter age).

Hello, The Gnome. Thank you for your work on Murder of Rita Curran. User:PopePompus, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Good article! There are some sentences which contain longish phrases identical to news accounts. It is *possible* that someone might flag these as copyright violations. You might want to reword some sentences that seem to contain significant copy-pastes from news articles. Other than that quibble, it looks very clean.

Thanks for the remark. I checked the sources once more. The words within
quotation marks are mostly public statements by persons involved in the affair. As such, they are not copyrighted, and, besides, they are very few. Perhaps there are some longish phrases that are close to identical to sources' prose but I've already amended as much as I saw fit to do. If anyone feels the text can be improved in his area, one should by all means give it a go. Take care. -

Hello The Gnome
Hope you don't mind my dropping in on your Talk page, but I was after a clarification of your comment about my proposed compromise wording and didn't want to clutter up the thread with multiple sub-discussions. Are you suggesting that the Info Box section on the Big Three should have no dates at all but should have footnotes with a description of who declared war on whom and who signed a formal alliance with whom? Or are you suggesting that it should have no dates at all, should have no footnotes, and all discussion of who declared war on whom, and who signed an alliance with whom, should be in the main body of the article? Or are you suggesting something else?
Also, like it or not, there is a sentence in the lead which currently says, "The Soviet Union, which initially had a nonaggression pact with Germany and participated in its invasion of Poland, joined the Allies in June 1941, after the German invasion of the Soviet Union." How do you think it should be worded? Thanks. Aemilius Adolphin ( talk) 10:12, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Very happy to discuss on the Talkpage but please do that rather than edit war, as per BRD. A simple Google search will provide you with multiple instances of the film being described as a satire, e.g. [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Evoking has a rather different meaning. Regards. KJP1 ( talk) 11:27, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
We've now spent a day and a half, and absolute walls of text, arguing over a word. To repeat that, a single word. You don't like "satirized" and I don't like "evoked". You're now working on your response. In my judgement, you likely won't achieve the outcome you want. What will occur is the generation of further walls of text. So, my suggestion. Choose another word. From the list I've suggested, or one of your own. If I possibly can, I will support its use. Then we can both head off and do other, more productive, things.

Hello The Gnome - I came across this image of Father Gapon at Bloody Sunday that you uploaded in 2016. I was wondering if you can tell me where it is from? I can see the URL referred to, but that isn't working (for me, anyway). I'm trying to discern if it's a legit photo or if it's a sketch that has been turned into a photo (I'm a High School History teacher). Many thanks for your help.
