The Moon shines bright

Hello, and am posting because I see you have no talk page messages so wanted to join in. Thanks for your discussion at my talk page, and hopefully when we get past that we can sometime join up in an editing project of some kind. Anyone interested in history has the full support of others of that irk. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! Gawaon (talk) 10:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add to or try to "explain" long standing language in the MOS, thanks. There is no contradiction at all, proper names are proper names throughout the English language and have been since the beginning of time (when English was first used in the caves). The first paragraph is just making clear that words like "sunshine", or the common use of "earth" for soil, or that the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, are not uppercased for editors who may not understand the concept of proper names. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:32, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Please let's keep the discussion on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Clarification request: capitalization of "the sun" etc.?, where others can get involved too. Gawaon (talk) 11:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Wish I could unsee your edit history

Strangest WP:SPA I've seen. I'm sure we have plenty of "true crime" SPA editors but this one is pretty unique. Every topic needs competent scrutiny of course. —DIYeditor (talk) 10:52, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Oops

Sorry, I meant to say "Users must have not a history being convicted with sex crime(s)." I am referring to the edit on Facebook. It was an accident. I forgot to put the word "not." Cwater1 (talk) 22:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I see, that makes more sense ("must not have a history"). But in any case such details don't belong in the lead, maybe somewhere later in the article body. Gawaon (talk) 06:29, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

I feel that the part about being and 13 and up might be in the later part of article. I get it now. I'll be careful in the future. Cwater1 (talk) 16:14, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 06:33, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Yabluchne gorod

Sure I agree with you in the strictest sense, and I'd welcome being proven wrong, but do you think realistically a Ukrainian village has a realistic chance of having an English language Wiki. article created? Regards. Kieronoldham (talk) 04:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Kieronoldham: It doesn't seem all that likely, and I don't know whether it would fulfil our relevance criteria. What would you think of the following solution: Yabluchne [uk] ? So like the output of Template:Ill, but without the red link. That would avoid the surprise link to the Ukrainian Wikipedia, and still be more useful to those who speak Ukrainian than no link at all. Gawaon (talk) 06:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. Be my guest. Sorry, I just wanted to avoid red links with, probably at best, a 5% chance of ever having an article created in this language. Regards, --Kieronoldham (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I undid your edit

I saw your edit on List of incidents of cannibalism and O9A page, that you had removed the incident in Karelia. Multiple articles covered the cannibalism aspect of it, I am fairly sure I used one of them, but I might have not, so I added a source that definitely did. Just wanted to inform you. Have fun editing! RKT7789 (talk) 16:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for adding the link! Gawaon (talk) 18:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
