HI :)

I just saw this edit of a really long write-up about a high school student, kinda like a resume with all their roles and achievements.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitchell_County_High_School&curid=23905586&diff=1307840488&oldid=1307750931

And I know I should revert this but I don't know under what. Like NOPV, WP:NOTRESUME, promotion or like all of the above. I'm probably over thinking this (I am) built I just wanted to ask.

Thx, ✦GLORPK4✦ | 📡 01:05, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. Happy to help. I just kicked it out under the guidelines of WP:LISTBIO, which basically says you shouldn't drop names into articles like that if they don't have their own article. Joyous! Noise! 01:07, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Pigeon Detectives - Revert of the xylophone player.

1. Cheers, I actually got my first "Could not revert" error as you beat me to the punch :)

2. Did you find "Paul Spooner (drums, 2004)" in any of the cites? my revert was taking away both the former players not mentioned anywhere, But you only reverted the Xylophone player. Did you find source for Paul spooner?

Cheers! WikiPidge (talk) 00:50, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Evergreen

Go to the evergreen high school page in Colorado he won’t accept the fact he’s wrong Astrawiki3203 (talk) 21:25, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) FYI, this is now at WP:AN/3. --tony 21:29, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that he's wrong. I understand that Wikipedia is not a newspaper, but it's not outside the bounds of reason that a well-sourced mention of the event would be in the school's article. Whether he's right or wrong, you've got to drop the stick for a while, due to 3RR violations. Outside of obvious vandalism (which that is not), you can't revert to your preferred version right now.

David Spade never voiced Rocky the Flying Squirrel. Bullwinkle made his Macy's Parade debut in 1961.

June Foray voiced Rocky the Flying Squirrel. 67.246.146.194 (talk) 13:14, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give me some context for this comment? I'm not sure what you're talking about. Joyous! Noise! 13:17, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. 67.246.146.194 (talk) 13:19, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not OP, but I'll provide the context anyway: earlier in the summer, there were a couple of rounds of vandalism to Rocky & Bullwinkle (2014 film), falsely claiming that David Spade had voiced the lead character in it. You were involved in reverting one round, and this IP was involved in reverting another.

So I don't know why 67 is bringing this up two months after the fact, to you (and me, even though I had nothing to do with it, and merely removed the page from a bunch of redlinked categories around the same time) instead of the actual vandal (who, in fact, has already been blocked) — and 67's also cruising for a temporary editblock of their own if they don't stop harassing people who had nothing to do with it — but that's the missing context.

Michael E. Farbiarz

Hello,

I saw someone added an unsourced addition to this guy's page that you reverted. It was then re-added which I reverted. Do you have the power to lock the page or otherwise prevent the back and forth without citation?

Thank you. Manamanadodododo (talk) 01:10, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also note - when they redid it, they re-added a link that already existed and makes no reference to their claim. Manamanadodododo (talk) 01:12, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the message. We have the technical ability to lock a page if it's going through a lot of vandalism, but the rate of changes to Michael E. Farbiarz doesn't justify it, based on Wikipedia's guidelines. Your best bet is probably to add his article to your watchlist so you can see when it's edited. Joyous! Noise! 01:17, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I'm not on wiki much and randomly decided to log in when I looked up the guy, saw the claim, and tried to figure out its veracity. But if I happen to return and see it changed again without a source, I'll repeat the undo.

Thanks. Manamanadodododo (talk) 01:24, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
