Signature
It looks as if you've tried to customise your signature and made a mess of it. Perhaps on Special:Preferences you've mistakenly checked the box labelled "Treat the above as wiki markup"? If you can't customise it correctly, reset it to default settings. --David Biddulph (talk) 18:41, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Yep, realized that. My mum was nagging me, and I had to go. So I didn't have time to reset it to default. But, to answer your question, no, I haven't checked the box. I'll reset it to default now - Biscuit-in-Chief

Disambiguation link notification for May 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Family tree of the Greek gods, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Melia, Clymene and Asteria ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please use standard capitalisation
Please stop writing "NF Real Music" (as it is used on Apple Music) as "NFREALMUSIC"; that's not standard capitalisation and you're using a stylisation. Also, I don't know why you would think the formats his latest album have been released on need verification when none of the others have—that's not very consistent. Rarely, unless the format is uncommon for that artist or time period, do we need or see verification of the formats. Unless you're going to be consistent and require citations for every single format all of NF's prior albums have been released on (which nobody has before you), then there is no point placing a CN tag there, and I assume other editors of the page will have an issue too.  Ss  112   09:00, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi. I just followed what the ref said; isn't that what we're supposed to do? Regarding the song formats, wouldn't it be OR to just say "Rarely, unless the format is uncommon for that artist or time period, do we need or see verification of the formats."?  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (Talk – Contribs) 11:41, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * No, per WP:TMRULES, we have our own rules on capitalisation on Wikipedia.  Ss  112   17:32, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Citation needed tags do not go in headings
This is not the correct place to put them. To tag a section, you use Template:Unsourced section or the like. It is not always required to directly cite a track listing section considering the source is the album itself (experienced editors will tell you this), but I have invoked the Apple Music citation (that was already defined in the lead, mind you) where I got the track listing from for your peace of mind, since you seem to think I pulled the track listing out of thin air. Thanks.  Ss  112   17:32, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Noted. Just wanted some WP:INTEGRITY.  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (Talk – Contribs) 14:48, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Music credits
Hi. Again, regarding You (James Arthur album), you appear to have reverted at least one user over the credit on the song "Treehouse". I assume you do not know how music credits work and why the wording "with Ty Dolla Sign featuring Shotty Horroh" was used. The primary artist whose album is the topic at hand, James Arthur, is obviously not included at the start of this credit because that would be redundant. However, Ty Dolla Sign receives co-lead artist credit on the song, while Shotty Horroh receives a featuring credit. Ty Dolla Sign is not a featured artist on the song, he is a co-lead artist on the song. Please stop removing/altering this. It is fine and in no way "grammatically incorrect". Thank you.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

WP:MEDRS
Regarding this, the reason I reverted is because we should to stick to WP:MEDRS-compliant sources for that topic. For example, we should typically avoid primary sources for that topic. See WP:Primary sources and WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Also, peer review is not the same thing as literature review. Please read and study WP:MEDRS. It begins with the following in its introduction: "Ideal sources for biomedical information include: review articles (especially systematic reviews) published in reputable medical journals; academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant fields and from respected publishers; and guidelines or position statements from national or international expert bodies. Primary sources should generally not be used for medical content – as such sources often include unreliable or preliminary information, for example early in vitro results which don't hold in later clinical trials." You should be looking for secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, tertiary sources. You can look on Google Books if that will help. It often helps me. If you haven't looked on PubMed, look on there as well. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:21, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you sure it is, though? I mean, the Scandinavian Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology cited it from the British Journal of Social Work, so it's a secondary source (per WP:MEDDEF: A secondary source in medicine summarizes one or more primary or secondary sources [emphasis added]), right?  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (Talk – Contribs) 10:48, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging Doc James. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:40, 2 December 2019 (UTC)


 * And regardless, you added single study material. Why exactly should that single study material be included? Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:42, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I was just reading and thought it was relevant. But if it's not suitable, fine.  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (Talk – Contribs) 15:45, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes a primary source per there methods "In total, 2934 seventh-grade students (M = 3.5, SD = 0.5) filled out questionnaires at school."

Hello, Biscuit-in-Chief thank you for the complement about my username I like yours too.

A greeting from a COVID-obsessed person
Hi; I hope I don't bother you by writing here just to tell you that I appreciate your many edits to keep Wikipedia up to date on the COVID-19 pandemic, edits which often pop up on my screen as I run an IRC channel about COVID-19 where, among other things, some Wikipedia articles are monitored. I have done some edits to COVID-related articles myself, but overall I haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately.

I got curious and clicked on your talk page, and found out with a bit of amusement that you apparently started out your Wikipedia "career" by being blocked for vandalism and sockpuppetry. I see you later received some... saying "vitriol" would be excessive, but stuff that you may have responded to in less calm and constructive ways.

I don't know about you, but I delve too much in negativity, and COVID-19 isn't a very positive thing, but I can't really help it, and so I found that turning the negativity into, arguably, positivity (like providing more information about it for everyone, whether it be by means of a chat room about it or by editing Wikipedia) can be a useful mental trick — hopefully both for me, you and others.

So since it's that time of the year, I wish you good things on Wikipedia and out of it, and I just ask you to remember where you started from: many people, arguably too many, end up being sticklers to the rules and entrenched in Wikipedia bureaucracy, and while to an extent that's inevitable, Wikipedia itself reminds us to actively keep some distance from that attitude. I don't say that because I think you need this reminder due to anything in particular, and I realize I may sound condescending, but it's just something that seemed worth saying.

So happy holidays, if at all possible in this situation, and many productive edits. LjL (talk) 02:18, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This ... this made me smile. That you spend so much time on writing a personalised message here on Wikipedia is ... I don't know a word for it. "Insane but heartwarming"? :-) And yeah, the vandalism and the preceding ban are not exactly my proudest moments in life. My excuse is that I was 11 and bored ツ. I must admit I've wanted to archive it from my talk page several times, but I should probably keep it in there for transparency and as a reminder to stay humble. I feel like I've spent my second (and definitely my last) chance well, though. Also, could I be a part of that IRC channel? And If you're interested, my holidays have been with almost no social contact to anyone outside my house and practically no physical contact with anyone else because of self-isolation—hence why I've stayed up till around 3–4 a.m. most days, including today, to write stuff on Wikipedia . Anyway, now you're through this rather incoherent mess of a reply, I wish you and your loved ones happy holidays, too!  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (/tɔːk/ – /ˈkɒntɹɪbs/) 02:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * BTW, you seem like a brilliant human being!  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (/tɔːk/ – /ˈkɒntɹɪbs/) 02:50, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Well, let's just say I've got time to use... and probably a sprinkle of insanity. To be fair, I also spend a lot of time acting annoyed at people on various places of the internet, so it seems fair to balance it out a little. Reading your page, your second chance definitely feels like it was being made "definitely the last", phew... That was probably what made me think to write about not becoming too rigid in applying rules (although while not a Wikipedia admin, I've been an op, mod, admin or what-you-call-it before and I've probably acted like that: you see so many people who are just there to make a fuss/mess, that you forget that maybe some of them realize it was silly and won't do it again, for real). As to removing the vandalism history from your page... I don't really have an opinion, but I think anyone who reads it beyond the initial block notification wouldn't think less of you afterwards. Anyway, if you want to peek into my channel, sure, this short document has all the pointers. There is also a long list of COVID-related links, although its organization is more haphazard than I'd like, and many of them are primary sources and preprints not suitable for Wikipedia.

 * Jeg forstår godt kilderne (jeg var på nippet til at tilføjet "18. juni eller 19. juni" til den danske artikel allerede den 19. på grund af den noget tvetydige forrmulering i medierne). Kun igennem https://denstoredanske.lex.dk/.versionview/744911, som jeg senere fandt, fik jeg dét med salmebladet at vide. Men du havde også kun tilføjet en enkelt ref, og dét var til TV 2, ikke til nogen familiemedlemmer. Jeg så først udsendelsen fra Holmens Kirke bagefter, og Jakob skrev jo også 19. juni i et facebookopslag at han var død den nat. Så jeg prøvede blot at opsummere hvad kilderne havde sagt.

Juxtaposition
Hello. Regarding this edit, I'd only agree with changing "and" to "but" if it were always a sure thing an album's critical reception had anything to do with its commercial performance. I'm aware of cases where what critics have said or bestowed on an album has influenced its commercial success, but having "but" there seems jarring as if we're saying "in spite of this, the public loved it", whereas it's just something that happened simultaneously.
