In the article Roy Chubby Brown, there's a direct quote containing the phrase "just being a complete and utter ****hole really". I was going to replace the bowdlerized word with the actual word, presumably "asshole", per WP:NOTCENSORED. I went to the source [1] to confirm the reading, and found that the source actually prints the asterisks in place of the actual word. What's the correct thing to do here?

For George Washington, in later usage, it is often "Washington lost the battle of..." and George Washington is sorted under W in categories. How are Stage names and Drag names handled? For example, Marilyn Monroe and Martin Sheen are both treated in article as if those are their actual names (and thus Monroe and Sheen as subjects in later sentences). The question is whether Drag Names should be treated similiarly and what guidance to be used for three part names such as Monica Beverly Hillz. (and for additional fun, I'm also dealing at least one queen who I don't have the birth name for (but I know the birth name isn't a deadname). I presume the answers for both Subject and Catsort should be the same for the article. Naraht ( talk) 12:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
This was also discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject RuPaul's Drag Race#Referencing Queens by Drag name "Last Name" in Articles. (sort of a rant). TSventon ( talk) 13:45, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
I am wondering how to clean up my talk page. There is too many old and expired discussions there, and it is time for me to clean it all out. But, I dont know how to. I looked up relevant information but it seems to be vague to me. Is it possible for someone to guide me in steps on how to do it? Thanks a lot. WatanWatan2020 ( talk) 13:22, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
I wanted to log in, but can't remember my user name. I have the email address, but no username. How do I do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.173.155.125 ( talk) 15:51, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Can I create and submit a article of any village or town? It will be accepted or not? 103.249.7.132 ( talk) 17:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi
I'm going back over my edit history to try to make a list of all the articles I've created or significantly improved. I found a list of articles I've created but is there a way to filter my mainspace contributions by size so I can see which articles I've added a lot of information to? I know that there are several articles I've taken from a stub to much larger but don't remember them all.
Thanks

Thanks very much indeed Ktin and Jayron32, do I understand that this is number of edits to a page not size of edits? Is there a counter for largest edits? :) John Cummings ( talk) 21:36, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
Is there a bot that enforces MOS:STRAIGHT or MOS:NUMERAL that I could use? TipsyElephant ( talk) 19:28, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

I ordered the Maxium Magazine a long while back I sent a check for $24.00 and still never received not one Magazine. If you would look into this, I would really appreciate your time for a customer to start a long time of order . I want to thank you for your time in finding out about my problem. details removed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6033:160:44A1:B2F:5433:EC86 ( talk) 22:05, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
