Hey Guy, can you please tell me why you think R. Dean Taylor should follow the D/M/Y date formats? The standard format in Canada is M/D/Y (though they do on the odd occasion use the D/M/Y). However, its only standard use in Quebec (because of the French influence). My general practice is to use M/D/Y for the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and Micronesia (and sometimes the Philippines where it is 50/50). Everywhere else is D/M/Y... but not Canada. (I use this Date format by country to aid me). Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 23:49, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Billy Wright singer.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi, I replied to one of your comments at Talk:Jimmy Johnson (blues guitarist), and you might have something to add there, or at the James F. Johnson article I have just created. Adpete (talk) 03:31, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
On 9 February 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Syl Johnson, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 23:56, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

It is perfectly acceptable to remove unreferenced content and to include new referenced, relevant content. Your revert is completely uneccessary. I have asked for consensus on the article talk page as you suggested but I doubt there will be many replies. This is just wasting the time and effort I put in to improve the page. I understand your sentiment, but I suggest you analyse the edits I made before reverting the whole thing.Titus Gold (talk) 14:02, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for defending the honour and accuracy of one of the few national dishes the UK can actually be proud of (well, I don’t have to make shepherds pie with grandmas brown gravy slop any more…)2A00:23C4:3E08:4000:952A:47D0:5A94:FDE9 (talk) 01:16, 28 March 2022 (UTC) 2A00:23C4:3E08:4000:952A:47D0:5A94:FDE9 (talk) 01:16, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
I am not happy with you describing an edit of mine as "a bit Putin-esque". I made that in good faith to attempt to improve compliance with WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, and I consider your remark to be unacceptable per WP:NPA#WHATIS. -- DeFacto (talk). 08:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Don't change my corrections to incorrect data that is poorly annotated. Fact is I know the person in question, her birthday is 21 September (not November) and she is irreversibly separated from Paul Atkins. To state she has a spouse is INCORRECT also BlueprintX (talk) 13:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your friendliness :-) :-) :-) I hope someone will come up with ideas about how to change such things, at least e.g. these chapter-headings ( "Philantropy" :-(((( )... Yeah, meanwhile, probably have to live with a lot of euphemistic or really absurd words ... ? Sorry to react so late and for maybe having re-edited before heaving read your message, I saw it only now. (Please feel very free!!! to remove this "spam" from your Talkpage, I just have, I think, no other way of answering as a non-registered user.) Have a nice day! 2A02:3030:80D:B019:1:0:F032:BCAB (talk) 15:35, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for the revert. Here is what I based that edit on:
I will adhere to your judgment there and leave it as the version you reverted to, just showing you my rationale. Red Director (talk) 15:58, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
I’m very concerned that anything I post about my grandad is getting deleted ? I’ve tried to contact the person who deleted the information , but have been met with silence.Please could you help me with this problem as it’s really annoying me and more importantly it’s very upsetting to my mother , Tommy Godfrey’s daughter. Thanks. IAN BOYCE. 82.42.199.152 (talk) 10:03, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Guy. I hope you are well. Would you be kind enough to have a look at the draft article for Cleo Page, presently luxuriating in my soapbox. I have not been well for the past 5/6 weeks, including a short spell in hospital, and am not sure that my diligence is yet up to scratch. As you will see, this case is a little more complicated/bizarre than most. Many thanks - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:14, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution#Discuss_with_the_other_party "Do not continue edit warring; once sustained discussion begins, productively participating in it is a priority. Uninvolved editors who are invited to join a dispute will likely be confused and alarmed if there are large numbers of reverts or edits made while discussion is ongoing."
Additionally - "Avoid posting a generic warning template if you are actively involved in the edit war yourself; it can be seen as aggressive. Consider writing your own note to the user specifically appropriate for the situation, with a view to explicitly cooling things down."
I would appreciate this in the future.82.4.221.138 (talk) 16:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
You said my edit was unexplained. Bullocks!
In addition, perhaps you need to re-read WP:BURDEN. I've cleaned up after you. Just because someone's birthdate may be well known to some, doesn't mean a WP:RS is not required for its inclusion in a Wikipedia article. Lots of folks lie about their age. General WP:BLP always applies and the standard for inclusion of personal information of living persons is higher than mere existence of a reliable source that could be verified.

I am supposed to be a pop historian (tee hee), and font of all knowledge (even more LOL). Well, in doing some research for another undoubtedly barnstorming new article (on someone who included her version of the song on an album - probably a 'cover version' if I am not mistaken), I came across this, and nearly fell of my chair listening to it. Firstly I had never heard the song before, nor dear old Elmore James' having a go at it and "giving it loads and then some" (a Yorkshire expression meaning... "giving it loads and then some"). It much grieves me to say it that, although I am now delightfully enlightened, I am totally crestfallen by my ignorance - yeah, "It Hurts Me Too". I did the new-fangled digitalised type of replay on the recording, somewhat akin to leaving the record changer arm open on the old Dansette, to enable me to have a few more listens before almost literally falling off.
Never too old to learn. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I'm trying to reach concensus at en:Mystic Braves talk page. We've had some discussion on the users talk page which didn't seem to get anywhere so I've moved to the article talk page. As per wp:con Can I ask how many days would be suitable to wait for a reply before asking for a third opinion? Thanks Knitsey (talk) 15:28, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Just to clarify, I'm not canvassing for opinion on the disagreement I'm just not sure how long I should wait. Hope thats ok. Knitsey (talk) 15:34, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Looking at the discography for Ken Williams (songwriter), probably a copy and paste job from the ever unreliable AllMusic, it is obvious that his credits have been muddled with the wonderful, and to me much missed, Kenneth Williams. If I was feeling better I might have had a go at editing, but the text just swirls before my eyes at the present. Also, being repeatedly told Discogs is unreliable (and 45cat for that matter), - clearly not by you - when it is far more trustworthy, makes my blood boil - so I really can't be arsed. Over to you. If you can be arsed, that is. Regards - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
