new stubs
editthanks as always for new stubs - in tagging on the talk page - ? - are unnecessary as the default is always low importance/priority - just as easy a ?, low is a good idea and worth the effort... cheers JarrahTree 01:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- thanks for acknowledgement at my talk page - we have been through some very strange times since then, and I must apologize for lack of adequate support, in the the jungle like realms that pop up like scenery in a movie by wes anderson - there are times also which nothing shall be said here.JarrahTree 09:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- I dine out on the topic of an editor who was trying to edit somewhere in the last 18 years and sustain an argument that tasmania was a separate country. Somewhere in there.... And I dont dine out on my traversing the island many times in the middle of the night between queenstown and north hobart... Enough said. JarrahTree 10:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Schwarzer
editHi, Shirt, how are you? Thanks for your comment here, I wasn't aware of that. I had however already left a comment on the draft to the effect that he's surely notable by our standards – let's hope someone now cleans the draft up to the point where it could be accepted! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Welcome
editHi, Shirt58!
Thanks for the welcome message, but I've been editing Wikipedia regularly for about 20 years, and deliberately have never opened a User account, partly for the reasons that B. Traven chose to remain anonymous.

- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
