Hi, JB. I'm not sure what's going on here other than various IPs edit warring. Mind taking a look?   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:28, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

: Hi, SW. I did a fairly quick check, and the really obvious problem that I saw was one IP editor edit warring to repeatedly add non-neutral content, so I've partially blocked the IP range from that article. There may be other problems on the same article, either with the same editor, or with others who have edited the same article, but none were as obvious as that one. The disputed content was originally added by an account, which may or may not be the same person, so I've given the account an npov2 warning. It looks as though there's been edit warring at List of Turkish football champions, but I haven't investigated that thoroughly. JBW (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you salted this page name back in 2010. However, the Chip tha Ripper article should be moved here under the MOS:THEBAND guideline: "Similarly, for duos and individual musicians, a leading the is not capitalized mid-sentence in a nickname, pseudonym, stage name or other alias. Exceptions include grammatical articles from non-English languages, and stylized forms such as thee, tha and da." With Chip Tha Ripper having a "tha" in his name as opposed to a "the," it meets this criteria. Would you be willing to unsalt this title so the article, which has since proven notability, can be moved to this preferred title per the guideline? Thank you.

: {{ping|JeffSpaceman}} Assuming that by "which has since proven notability" you mean that the references in the article show that the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, can you point me to two of those references which are substantial coverage in independent reliable sources? Or failing that, just one? I can't see them. However, whether the article should exist or not, granted that it does there's no advantage in keeping it at its present title, so I have moved it.

::Come to think of it, I may have overstated its passing of WP:NMUSIC. I'm not about to nominate it for deletion (WP:NEXIST may apply, for all we know), but I do appreciate you moving it per what you have noted. Thank you for your help. JeffSpaceman (talk) 21:17, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

If any talk page stalkers are interested, I have now received notification that an editor has thanked me for something I did 12 years and 1 month ago. I would be surprised if this is not a personal record. JBW (talk) 21:22, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Well, if it was a record when I posted that message, it isn't now. I've just been thanked by an editor whose user page I deleted, on their request, fourteen years and six months ago (November 2010). Personal record? Almost certainly. Maybe even a site record? Well, possibly. JBW (talk) 10:15, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

Could you explain to user Losdilos, that in order to prove something, you need a source link.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hardware_(film)&action=history]108.208.136.169 (talk) 22:12, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

: I've posted a message to their talk page, but there's no reason why you couldn't have done so yourself. JBW (talk) 09:22, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey, JBW. Could you please change my username to Ronaldo7Mil? I no longer feel connected to my current one. Furthermore, 90% of my Wikipedian legacy is related to football, so having a more football-related name just feels appropriate. Not to mention that I'm Portuguese, so... Kind regards.
