Question from Pandaoss (09:58, 15 November 2024)

edit

I would like to create a page of my own, how should I go about it? --Pandaoss (talk) 09:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey @Pandaoss! By "page", do you mean a Wikipedia article or your user page? Aaron Liu (talk) 12:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am talking about a wikipedia article ? everytime I make one in the sandbox, i am not getting the option to move it to publish? Do you have any advice on that? Pandaoss (talk) 13:18, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don’t see any sandboxes you’ve made anywhere. Are you sure you saved your edits? Aaron Liu (talk) 13:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, did you consider the possibility that no opposition was expressed to redirecting because so few people supported it that people thought it unlikely to be adopted and therefore unnecessary to oppose? I'm not persuaded that silence regarding tertiary outcomes means no arguments against them; in fact, to my mind, the sort of obvious argument against redirecting is that if you know you are looking for an assassination attempt, a shorter list means fewer options you need to check to find what you want.

With the amount of support for it having 5 !voters out of the ~20 participants (that's just 1 less than the other opposes) and amount of people who responded after it was proposed, I don't think nobody would bother to oppose it. Nobody objected that the set index article was nearly all assassination attempts. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Five? We counted differently. Well, I'm tired, so I'd sooner trust your count than mine. I fear I don't understand your last sentence, though. Not that it matters, I was mostly curious about your thought process.
By the way, thanks for helping at CR. As you can see, the volume has become somewhat overwhelming for me. Compassionate727 (T·C) 18:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
No worries, and thanks. By my last sentence, I was addressing your original last sentence, and I meant that the set index article was interpreted to cover the exact same topic of "assassination attempts". I also appreciate your insight and thought process. Aaron Liu (talk) 18:35, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your comment, which you reinstated, was in the middle of a signature. Please fix it rather than ask "what???". Phil Bridger (talk) 12:37, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

We edit conflicted; I began the “what” edit to fix the signature before you saved your revert and I addressed the edit summary to ConvenientDiscussions, my reply tool, not you. Sorry for the confusion. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:04, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
That's OK. I'll admit that I was a bit confused. I see ScottishFinnishRadish has tidied up now. I wonder how many fights have been started by Wikipedia's edit conflict "system". Phil Bridger (talk) 13:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've found that weird artifacts like that and comments that get eaten or half-eaten are the best targets for AGF since there are so many wonky things that can happen with thousands of people editing things in concert. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:25, 3 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

A wild BARNSTAR has appeared!

  The Mediator Barnstar
For your repeated efforts to help try and cool down a rather heated and polarizing RfC discussion on the 2024 United States Elections talk page by trying to actually understand the "other side" being presented and work to help those on "your side" better understand it as well, and trying to keep them from displaying undue hostility within the topic. As I said then, those efforts were noted, and were highly appreciated, even if we did not agree at all on the issues discussed. This is well earned. Thank you and have a good day.

Close on Talk:Storrs,_Connecticut#Merge_Proposal

edit

I might have jumped in too soon in my drive-by closure here. I notice you did actually have some comments in favour of a merge. Can I suggest it probably needs to happen after the current RFC is settled, not as a side-show? Tying a merge request to that RFC is just going to get it hammered by not-votes to oppose based on the current level of heat on that page. Feel free to tell me to GTH and reverse my close if you prefer!

I think what should be snow-closed is the RfC, but this could work since I think the merge discussion needs a restart anyways. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've closed both together now. the merge discussion was more of a "This is going to go nowhere good, fast" close. The closure for the whole thing took a little more reading! JeffUK 17:28, 5 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

UConn

edit

For what it's worth, the University of Connecticut has 90,112 IP addresses assigned to it. I can't confirm or deny whether these two accounts were using IPs in this range, but rest assured the block was an easy call. Cheers. – bradv 01:58, 15 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that, thanks for pointing it out! @Polygnotus restored himself, and I've added back @Bsoyka and removed @Tryptofish. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:13, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, Aaron. No worries. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
