Help...page move and then page move again and then another one and...
What is up with all these recent page moves at 2021 United States Capitol attack. Wait, no, it's 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. No, wait! It's 2021 United States Capitol attack! Wait, I'm getting whiplash from all these page-moves, see talk page history and article history. Is there some place that this can be discussed/reported/whatever?... Help.

 * Shearonink: Yes. A new move discussion has been opened at the article's talk page. Meanwhile I have move-protected the article because of the recent move warring - which was brought about by the closing and unclosing and reclosing of a previous RM discussion. "Whiplash" is a good analogy, it was wild. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Melinda French Gates v Melinda Ann Gates
Is Melinda French Gates's last name Gates or French Gates? Re: Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, is now divorced from his wife, Melinda French Gates (née Melinda Ann French). Is this similar to Christine Blasey Ford or Hillary Rodham Clinton? cookie monster (2020)  755  02:10, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, CookieMonster! I too had noticed that publications were starting to refer to her as Ms. French Gates but I hadn't looked it up. So I looked for an explanation, and I found this: "...Ms. French Gates, as she now prefers to be known, wrote in her book." So it's not like Ford or Clinton; she is using the double last name. Good question! -- MelanieN (talk) 14:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Wassim Dhaouadi
Hi, Melanie. Good to write you and to the Wikipedia community. I would like to let you know that Wassim Dhaouadi is not known enough to have a Wikipedia page. Many thanks and best regards, Ibrahim.
 * Hello, Ibrahim. Several unregistered users have said this at the Wassim Dhaouadi page over the past few days. Six times by my count. But multiple people have disagreed and removed the claim. Saying this has gotten disruptive. That's why I protected the page. The article page is not the place for this kind of comment. If you would like to discuss this, you can do so at the article's talk page Talk:Wassim Dhaouadi. I suggest you have a stronger argument than "no one has heard of him". The eight references on the page suggest that some people HAVE heard of him. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:32, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * MelanieN, I believe you may have pinged me on accident. Just wanted to let you know. I think the person you meant to tag was Ibrahim Boukris. Kalariwarrior (talk) 01:41, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks and sorry. I misread the history. -- MelanieN (talk) 03:02, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

User:Hzhxbdbxj and User:Hssjsnnssh
Can you do a check on these two users- Hzhxbdbxj and Hssjsnnssh?

I believe these two accounts are the same and i believe that this user are Abusing multiple accounts. , please also check this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Extreme_Rules_(2021)&oldid=1040194586) what this user is doing is wrong! Chip3004 (talk) 04:48, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello, Chip3004, and thanks for the note. Unfortunately I can't help you very much, because I am not a WP:Checkuser, and only checkusers can compare one account with another. Maybe one of you could help straighten this out?
 * Meanwhile, Chip, I corrected your links to the two users you are talking about (you had left off the final letter) and I did a little basic research. It's quite possible that they are the same person - certainly the usernames are similar, and both have focused a lot of their editing on the article Extreme Rules (2021). The Hssjsnnssh account has edited only at the Extreme Rules article, with a single exception; it appears that most of their edits have been constructive. The Hzhxbdbxj account has been here longer and has edited several other articles in addition to Extreme Rules; some of their edits have been reverted. The usage by the two accounts has overlapped in time. That's about all I can report.
 * One thing I can do to help: I see there has been a lot of disruptive editing at that article Extreme Rules (2021) lately, so I have semi-protected the article for a month. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:23, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for fixing my sources on the hochul page Elasticwealth7 (talk) 00:33, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. You are new here, but you will learn about things like WP:Reliable Sources and other Wikipedia policies. You have been editing in good faith and that's what matters. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

What?
So because I do not like the use of a word, you think it is ok to ban me from editing Wikipedia. This is extreme.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't care if you dislike a word. I do care if you call other editors hateful, bigoted, spiteful, etc. Particularly when you do it repeatedly. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:09, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Revdel request
Hi MelanieN, mind taking care of this please. Also have a request at RFPP. S0091 (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, S0091, and thanks for the note. Looks like other people have already taken care of both issues - isn't it wonderful how things like that work out at Wikipedia? So I'll just wish you a good day/evening, and hope that maybe next time I'll be online to respond to my talk page. -- MelanieN (talk) 00:30, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank MelanieN. You are right about how things work out which is one of things I find amazing about Wikipedia.  Good day/evening to you as well. S0091 (talk) 00:50, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
