Quick note. It just occurred to me that this section could be construed, by a malevolent entity, as an invitation to edit on my behalf, a violation WP:CANVASS.

In fact, it is a to do list of things to look at on my return to editing. Roxy the dog 16:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Follow up
Following El C's suggestion, your offer on the eponymous ANI thread, and your further comments on this page, a return to editing would not be possible unless I took up your offer. A surprising offer, given our interaction history.

What say you User:Sideswipe9th? Roxy the dog 10:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Roxy, to fix the ping, you need to link User:Sideswipe9th in a wholly new post, beginning on a new line and signed. (This post of mine has pinged them now.) Bishonen &#124; tålk 11:21, 9 November 2023 (UTC).
 * It would be good to see you return to constructive editing and good standing with this community, Roxy. You have a beautiful Song. I hope you are well. -- A Rose Wolf  11:52, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bish. Rosie? Wolfie? ;) My health issues are on the back burner atm, and I'm feeling better than the first half of the year, since my last episode in hospital. Health indicaters are all good. Roxy the dog 12:44, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's great! Bishzilla and the fly you stole borrowed from me are both delighted to hear it! Bishonen &#124; tålk 13:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC).
 * I echo the Bish's sentiments. I'm so thrilled you are doing better. Let's keep playing that tune, okay? Rosie, Wolfie, and myself all agree. Ha! -- A Rose Wolf  14:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey. The offer is still good, though I will be a bit slow to reply for a while. There's a medication shortage that's affecting me right now, and it's been making focusing and ordering my thoughts difficult (yay unmanaged ADHD!). I'm happy to "push" through it for you, there's no date right now for the meds being restocked unfortunately, but it will slow down my response time while I'm unmedicated. Sideswipe9th (talk) 19:19, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to hear that Roxy is feeling better, and I wish good things for Sideswipe – I hope you feel better as soon as possible. I, too, would welcome Roxy coming back, but I also think that this is possible only with a very substantive engagement with Sideswipe's very generous efforts. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I think that a very suitable wikiadage to use here is that there is no deadline. SS, I am grateful for your efforts to help/advise/discuss, but your priorites must be for your own well being, not for me, a stranger on the internetz. Roxy the dog 08:20, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm mostly OK, primarily just tired, easily distractable, and having to use more conscious effort at ordering my thoughts at the moment. Unmedicated ADHD is...not fun. Alas my specialist isn't returning any phone calls, my pharmacist has no idea when the meds will be back in stock, and information from the medication's sole manufacturer distributed via support groups is that it won't be fully back in stock until at least April next year. Though whether or not that date will slip remains to be seen (has slipped once already). Sideswipe9th (talk) 16:56, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there a doctor you can talk to about possible alternative medications? I'm dealing with something where I have to take pain medications pending surgery, and I know from my own recent experience that it can be horrific getting prescriptions refilled when I need them. For what little it's worth, you have my best wishes. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:48, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes and no. I have a specialist, who is responsible for the prescription and monitoring of the medication, but they've been utterly unresponsive since my last contact with them at the start of October, shortly after the medication shortage alert was issued by the NHS. I've been trying to get in contact with them for weeks now, and have had no response other than "we'll call you as soon as we can" from a receptionist.
 * There are a few alternative meds I could be prescribed, one of which has shortages in a few specific brand name variants but is otherwise generally available. Unfortunately only the specialist can prescribe it, as all of the common ADHD meds in the UK are controlled substances. While my GP is happy to issue my repeat scripts as usual, and accommodate alternate dose requests of the same med (eg, if I was on 40mg of it, they'd be happy to prescribe 2x20mg if it was available) there's nothing else they can do. So I'm stuck here in limbo until either the specialist contacts me, or the meds are restocked at my pharmacist's distributors. And even if the later happens, there's no guarantee that I won't have the same issue 28 days later when I need to get the following month's prescription, at least until the sole manufacturer is able to get their production issues sorted.

 * Forgive me for yet another ping User:Sideswipe9th, but you've got mail, a few days ago. I used the wikipedia email thingy, then disabled my wiki email again. Roxy the dog 13:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * (Just noted that SS hasn't edited for a few days) Roxy the dog 11:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I hope that's not because of their health problems, Roxy. Possibly a ygm notice on their page might help, so I've added one. Bishonen &#124; tålk 12:24, 8 April 2024 (UTC).
 * Thanks Bish. Roxy the dog 12:46, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Roxy,
 * Sorry I've been on holiday with my family for Easter for the last week and haven't been near a computer (too busy winding up my nephew with Mario Kart). Still not fully back yet, I'll respond to your email towards the end of the week if that's OK? Sideswipe9th (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries SS, we have no deadline. I prefer GT6 on PS4 myself. Roxy the dog 15:38, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Roxy,
 * Sorry, something urgent came up (non health related, but does affect my safety) yesterday evening that means I won't be able to respond to your email for a while. I don't have any timescales for when I'll be able to respond right now I'm afraid. Sideswipe9th (talk) 15:35, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries SS, Thanks. Roxy the dog 16:08, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see you're gone
I saw a talk page discussion you'd been in and I followed it here to see you'd been blocked. I don't think we've ever interacted but I've seen your username many times in pseudoscience related articles, often improving them greatly. I just wanted to say it was always good to see you in talk page discussions arguing for neutrality, actual reality-based neutrality that is, over POV-pushing. I'm sorry you're no longer able to edit, at least for now, but I wanted to thank you for all the fantastic edits you have made. I also hope you're doing well if you're still in the hospital and that you recover soon. XeCyranium (talk) 23:16, 15 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Oh dear after reading further into it I now have to distance myself very slightly, everything I said in my first message fully applies but I don't mean to weigh in on any of the drama that resulted in your block. Other than to say that I hope if you are unblocked you're able to continue improving articles about pseudoscience and other topics like you always did. :) XeCyranium (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Me too!!! Roxy the dog 08:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Not yet, unfortunatly
Just wanted to note that it is my intention to appeal my CBAN soon, after more or less twelve months. I have not as yet had any meaningful discussion with SS, the outcome of which I would like to post here prior to appealing. -Roxy the dog 17:44, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
