Welcoming me

Thank you, but I have already been welcomed many times. In fact, you have actually welcomed me already. Thanks, 47.227.95.73 (talk) 01:38, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

And you did it again. While I appreciate the thought, it is getting excessive. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 19:22, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Is there a reason why you aren't registering an account? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 19:23, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

I have given various reasons that are visible in my archives (and some still on my talk page itself). There is actually a (sort of) ongoing discussion on IP addresses on my talk page. 47.227.95.73 (talk) 19:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll alter the welcoming slightly to make it less likely that you'll be welcomed by me. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 19:28, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Alright, thanks! 47.227.95.73 (talk) 19:30, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

A message from Montyhobson

Hi I dream of horses! I believe the edit I made to "serviced apartment" is more relevant than the current link, which doesn't specifically expand on serviced apartments at all. The current link takes users to a short-term rentals wikipedia page that has no information on a serviced apartment and how to differentiate it from other short-term rentals, which range greatly in quality depending on the type of rental. Montyhobson (talk) 16:50, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

@Montyhobson Do you have a connection to the site you're linking to? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 16:52, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

yes, I am the author. Is that a problem? Montyhobson (talk) 17:00, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

@Montyhobson It could be a problem, because of a potential conflict of interest. If you want to have the link in the article, you should add {{requested edit}} to the talk page, and let someone else look it over and maybe add it for you.

sounds good. understood. Montyhobson (talk) 17:27, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

A message from 172.79.133.240

The term "New World" is an antiquated term that was "invented" and then mis-used by Euro-centric explorers.

There is nothing "New" about it, and quite frankly, many of the civilizations in the America's had been around in the "New World" for far longer than anything in Europe.

But, I do enjoy the idea that you consider your view point to be "neutral" to those of us that find it down right insulting.

172.79.133.240 (talk) 21:07, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

No, I actually agree with you. The fact is, however, on Wikipedia, it's better to "show" how the term is outdated instad of say outright. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 22:15, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

A message from JamieWalker 007

Hello - I am dropping you a note regarding changes made to the Help for Heroes page. All I did was update and refresh the page as it had lots of outdated content on it. Thats all I was trying to do?

Can I ask what your thought wasnt NPOV? Many thanks

JamieWalker 007 (talk) 08:48, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

As an fyi I have just added a proper "Criticism" section to the page as previously I didnt think that was clear enough. JamieWalker 007 (talk) 09:05, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

@JamieWalker 007 Your edits also had a general lack of encyclopedic tonality; it wasn't quite like what you'd find on a pamphlet, but it was close (saying it's "one of the largest charities," etc.) Do you have a professional or personal connection to Help for Heroes?

Question from Mpguys (17:26, 7 June 2023)

Hello mentor, I didn't know you existed until now. I'm trying to make a n article about Nova Computer Systems. --Mpguys (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

@Mpguys I just gave you a template that might help you out. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 20:26, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Question from Sharjeel-mozn (10:45, 11 June 2023)

Hi, I recently made this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mozn

The page doesn't have any promotional tone or promoting any service. It is just an informational page. But another editor LDM2003 has flagged it for deletion.

I would like to raise that the following page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComplyAdvantage

Is also written in a similar tone. It is existing on Wikipedia. It is one of the competitors of Mozn. In fact, Mozn has a lot more references of third parties. Moreover, Mozn is the only NLU arabic language service in whole of Middle East and recently raised $10 million in funding.

Please advise how to get the Draft: Mozn page published --Sharjeel-mozn (talk) 10:45, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Question from Epitomewhiz (17:02, 22 June 2023)

Hello This is my first time, I would like to know the way forward. --Epitomewhiz (talk) 17:02, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

@Epitomewhiz Great, I just gave you a welcome message that should help out. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 18:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello and good afternoon

Good afternoon I dream of horses (I am a lover of horses, riding quarter horses since 1975 but a failed race horse jockey dreamer); hello, I received a dire message from this User asking this editor to block my Commons account accusing me without any iota of evidence, and not even notifying me, alleging that me of being a duck or sock of another, this despite my just short stint here, but I contributed encyclopedic images, please take appropriate action against these editors, for they are for sure, abuse of admin rights aside from cyber stalking which is punished by Philippine laws, many thanks and cheers SJasminum (talk) 04:19, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@SJasminum Perhaps it's best to respond to @JWilz12345 or @Minorax directly. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 04:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks so much; however, We from our Philippine Government had received verbal intel reports that these 2 accounts are 1 and, for sure, they would block my Commons account without giving me a chance, as per cursory perusal of their past blocking without notice to be heard ... (please note, that as government officer here, I have no right to appeal a block as my stay here is very limited, and there is I was informed an ongoing investigation on cyber stalking, confidential though, and I am not in a position to know) can you help me be referred to another objective unbiased Sycop or Wikipedia Admin, here and not in Commons, please thank you SJasminum (talk) 04:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC).

@SJasminum Unfortunately, I can't help with legal issues. Who is the "we" you're talking about; are you referring to a group of people? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 04:43, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you again, I am not talking of any legal issue, my language, though maybe is not American English; briefly, I am not familiar with their highly technical Commons lingo; actually the focus of my photography are GRANTED requests per emails of Wikipedians and others who desire to insert images in Wikipedia articles instead of creating new ones; for example the Festival of Talents is a great national even prefatory to the National Festival on July 21; my co-photographer allows me to take only 25% of our photos, he also has the same camera, but the 75% are his property, and kept in banks safety box the memory card and USB copy, respectively; I was instructed by some experts here in Philippines not to interfere with the Commons rules on sock and block, leave them alone and another or others, will, of course take care of the rest (I just researched, and found that there is a bitter enmity between a former editor here and the above users; more importantly, I also found that many Wikipedians or Commons editors and sycops do not have any complaint on my very short stint of editing and uploading, so I cannot understand why my Commons should be labeled as sock, hoping for your kind understanding on my research and discovery of these deep matters, sincerely SJasminum (talk) 04:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@SJasminum So, are you taking photographs and uploading them to Commons as part of your job? I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 04:56, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

No, uploading in Commons is not my job; my co-photographer asked my to join him in Pampanga, since I am very familiar with the place; there are long Requests from Wikipedians and other personalities to take photos of landmarks and interesting events, and he and I take pictures simultaneously; in the Rodolfo Biazon funeral in Philippine Marine Corp, I frequently visit the Holy Child Chapel, so, I agreed to take photos with him but I told him that he has to get others, for I am busy with horses, you know, June 24 is the Gran Copa in Malvar, Batangas, I am an avid horse racing afficionado, and taking pictures with him is so taxing ... I care for horses ... SJasminum (talk) 05:02, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@SJasminum: Oh, so this is a hobby. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 05:04, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Not really, watch Boss Emong win, June 24 Cup, but I love the US Triple Crown more; please know that I was a 10 year breeder of game fowl, Cockfighting in the Philippines; my co-photographer asked me to take photos with him on condition that I will only upload 25% of photos, and will never sell them; Irene Marcos and Liza Araneta Marcos my photos are too close to their faces, who can take photos very near them, if you are just an ordinary mortal, they are tightly guarded, even the paparrazi cannot come close, and their schedules are secret, that is one of the reasons, that I was asked by my co-photographer to let me and him take close photos of these 2 giants in Philippine politics; he has never edited Commons or Wikipedia, for I and others were really privileged to take photos with him ... I ponder that Commons and Wikipedia founders do have a philosophy that Wikipedia-Commons is for editors to share their knowledge, photos to the future generations; but of course, I know that edit wars, and anger, depression, hatred and enmity also live here, that is why I appeal to you and others, who love race horses and cockfighting, with few loves on photos, to take a closer look at this predicament, dire messages from those who, for sure, cannot appreciate my photos, on mere technicalities, sincerely yoursSJasminum (talk) 05:15, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

list of funny edits

I'm glad to see you're still around. We haven't spoken for nearly eight years and I'm not contributing at the level I once did, so I suspect not too many people stumble across my funny edit collection. I wonder if you'd be interested in adding a link to my list to your own list of lists. If so, I will create a subpage and transclude that so that the URL won't change at a later date. Please let me know if you're interested. I won't be offended if you're not, as even eight years after my block, I feel my status here is forever compromised and some people might not want to associate with me. Best wishes, —Soap— 03:53, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

@Soap It's fine to add your list to my list. It's not like that list is prominently featured in my userspace, even though people know about it by now. You do need to scroll mostly all the way down, after all. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 15:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I didnt realize people had been adding their pages on their own. I put mine near the bottom where it seemed to fit best, as the edits are mostly not vandalism like those near the top of the list. Even if I change my userpage around, the URL should still work because I switched to a transclusion. Best regards, —Soap— 17:26, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

@Soap I felt a bit lazy, but usually I'm the one to do it. I dream of horses ^{(Contribs) (Talk)} 17:29, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
