Didn't want to belabor WFT talk page, but

I just wanted to share that my wife worked in PR for almost 40 years for several different organization (none sports teams). I'm not and never have been a wordsmith or PR person, but from her I learned that a lot more care is given to releases than I ever thought and I would suspect that with all the controversy that the Redskins have had that there is a censor that is a corporate officer that reviews and likely must ok releases. The fact that from what I've looked at, they 100% use the singular means there is some coordination, and I did searches and newspapers as well as cnn and fox news are using singular. There are some other sites that are using plural, but for what I think WP considers RS it's pretty consistent singular. Not sure what it matters, but I wanted to share. Thanks for the discussion though as I always appreciate counter-arguments on stuff. SailedtheSeas (talk) 03:01, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Noon

Hi there - just wanted to drop a quick message rather than reverting outright. While MOS:TIME does indeed say to use noon, MOS:NUMNOTES states that In tables and infoboxes, quantities are expressed in figures - which would implicate using "12:00 p.m." rather than "noon" in the table. Even then, MOS:TIME states 12-hour clock times end with lower-case a.m. or p.m., or am or pm and advises Usually, use noon and midnight rather than 12 pm and 12 am, meaning that the use of "12:00 noon" is incorrect whatever way you look at it. Using "12:00 pm" would be acceptable, as would "noon", by separate guidelines (though there is WP:CFB and WP:NFL consensus that "12:00 p.m." should be used in tables), but "12:00 noon" is not supported by either.

I also didn't know about these manuals. I appreciate you explaining! Iwentdwarfing (talk) 02:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Your revert

You said that he has not signed it into law even though he has: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/biden-signs-juneteenth-bill/index.html . I will be reverting your revert of my edit. Ace2468 (talk) 20:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

My support

Hello, I see the type of situation you're in here with the WP ANI, and I'm just letting you know, that I've been in this situation before. It may feel like everybody is against you, but you will get through this period. The best thing you can do is try your best to stop contacting this other person so he won't put you into more trouble. Hopefully, you come back better! Mwiqdoh (talk) 08:02, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

FedExField

Ahh, I guess I assumed it was an upgraded interchange over one which just kind of existed in the arena area, going by the name of the road. I appreciate the clarification. Nate • (chatter) 02:27, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Your revert

You see my edit summary response at Bruce Boudreau, right? You missed the actual culprit by nearly a full half hour, but caught my messed up revert instantly. I copied wrong section of "Edit conflict" page when I tried to save my larger body of work - reinserted their bad edit!! Wish you had caught the real culprit much sooner (I was busy editing), before I had a chance to make my wrong copy-paste misstep. Still, glad you caught it at all, as my other work would have been lost if I had already closed the "Edit conflict" page, so... this is a long note to say Thank You.

@Jmg38We may have reverted almost exactly at the same time. I thought I was reverting the anonymous user. One of my pet peeves on Wikipedia is the people who rush to edit articles prematurely because "sources say" something or because Twitter goes nuts about something. (To be clear, I’m not suggesting you did that!) Sorry for any confusion! Of course, if it happens, maybe the Caps can hire Boudreau to fix the power play…. 1995hoo (talk) 04:20, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

May 2023

Hello, I saw your edit on the 2023 Calder Cup playoffs where you put #5 hartford on top of #2 seed in the Atlantic, can you explain your reasoning? 45BearsFan (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Additions getting erased on Kopitar and Stamkos articles and gymrat16 is not the same person as sockpuppet Moka Mo

I changed the one of the headers on the Anze kopitar article because using the word "Later" doesnt make sense because he is still an active player. The word "Later" should be used for retired players only. A better word for a player that is still active is "Recent" or something like that in fact Kopiar recently signed an extension so he isn't retiring for a little while longer. And the years in the headers in the Stamkos article are written by calendar years when they should be by NHL season like 2013-2017 not 2013-2016 since a season has parts of 2 calendar years in it since the season starts in October of one year then ends in April or June of another year. I also added back that "player profile" section gymrat16 added since dozens of other star players have that in their articles. I completely understand we don't want too many blockquotes like gymrat16 previously did but I believe some are necessary like the scotty bowman one or the craig button one for the playing style section and the would be plausible since like he said it shows the accuracy of the sentences and it shows transparency to people who read.

I think a lot of people are erasing some of these things like from Stamkos and kopitar its because they don't pay attention to the Lightning or Kings much since they play in florida or califronia, states not very hockey like and tends to get underappreciated despite being one of the top teams of both the 2010s and/or 2020s. I appreciate the sensitivity that goes into some of the things gymrat16 previously did but some of the things that were said initially were pretty reasonable.

I would like to try and compromise with those who are dismayed and purpose the quotes by Craig Button in 2010 and Scotty Bowman in 2019 stay for the playing style part and the Filppula, cooper and boucher quotes in the leadership section stamkos so it isn't too run on. And for Kopitar we say "Recent years" rather than "Later years" since kopi is still playing. I am a pretty reasonable and easygoing guy and I want everyone to be happy but thorough. Thanks 164.76.20.210 (talk) 18:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I haven't looked at either of those articles and wasn't planning to do so. 1995hoo (talk) 18:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

if that is the case how come it said your username was apart of it? Can you just try and help me and tell Sbaio that that information is actually plausible and shouldn't be considered "disruptive editing" because I said thoroughly in the edit summary why not all but some of it came back and it still revert every little thing. Any help could be greatly appreciated 164.76.8.189 (talk) 22:52, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I’m not a Wikipedia administrator, so complaining to me isn’t going to help. What you need to do is to mount a real defense (if you can) on the sockpuppet investigation page. Prove to the administrators that you are not a sockpuppet of Moka Mo and that you’re not Gymrat16 returning under an anonymous IP address. I don’t know what sort of evidence you need to produce to do that, but it needs to be real evidence, not screeds filled with run-on sentences. 1995hoo (talk) 11:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

I hear this is a common issue for a lot of people. People who make valid edits or correct inaccurate information tend to get reverted and labeled as "vandalism" like if it is vandalism, why is wikipedia available for editing for everyone? What is the point in encouraging people to sign up for a wikipedia account and contribute if their things aren't going to be accepted and just deleted without any good reason? Wikipedia should be an inclusive space for everyone to share their knowledge towards certain things as long as they are following the rules and have the right pieces with the information they write down. I don't mean to ramble but given what the history said for some of these articles, it didn't seem like gymrat16 did a whole lot of things wrong. He clearly did a lot of editing at once but his things he wrote down seemed pretty reasonable. Gymrat16 is clearly not the same person as Moka Mo too. Gymrat before August made edits within good faith 164.76.8.189 (talk) 22:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Gymrat16 sockpuppet of moka mo issue and the misunderstanding behind it

Hello 1995ho. I am writing because I want to address a misunderstanding that has been documented quite well within the last 5-6 weeks. First of all this is the guy who has that username. I don't know why its letting me type under a different IP but since it is I would like to discuss this matter since I didn't get much of a chance.

I come to realize that the main reason why I was blocked was because people thought I was an alias of this "moka mo" person who had been blocked early last year. That was mainly why I tried to say albeit unsuccessfully that I am not the monster sock puppet people think I am. Sockpuppeting is when one tries to create a false identity for things that are deceptive. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong that is just the impression I got based on the investigation I saw of my gymrat16 account. I would like to address I am not Moka Mo. I am a completely different person than moka mo in fact I don't even know who that is. I have never heard of Moka mo until last month. I am a completely different guy. My name is Ethan and my intent was so simply contribute with all the other users and I am sorry I mislead a bucnh of other accounts including you and/or being disruptive if I was. I never intended to be malicious and I was just trying to share things that were worth mentioning about certian NHL players and/or corrections. If we work something out and get unblocked then I will try harder to make sure I use my talk articles and make sure I use the edit summary more often to say why I did a transaction and most importantly respect other peoples input and feedback and not take it too hard. I don't expect anyone to hear me out but it would be nice to reason with some of you. Thanks sorry to bother yoy and please respond ASAP. 164.76.23.22 (talk) 18:49, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

answering back to question

Thanks for hearing me out last night. Your advice was to go to administrators. Out of curiosity, who exactly is apart of the administrators? Like are you talking one specific person thats apart of that group or the administrators as a whole? 164.76.13.137 (talk) 21:39, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
