 * I can no longer read the diff as the page has been deleted, but I'm assuming you're the person who added the  tags? If so, I apologize, as I seem to have mistaken you for someone else — editing under a similar IPv6 address — who was violating their block. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a message, and I'll be more careful when reading IP addresses in the future! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:23, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand, sounds good, and yes that was the diff I was referring to. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:E41E:B141:7B5:2EF0 (talk) 01:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Beauty and the Beast (Mark Murphy album)
Hi@TechnoSquirrel69, I added a clarification to the article, as requested. The cited source assigns ratings with "bones" instead of "stars", from "woof to 5 bones". Thanks for the edits! CoralRad (talk) 00:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that, CoralRad! By the way, I noticed a higher-quality version of the cover art for this album exists at its Amazon listing — consider uploading that one instead. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @TechnoSquirrel69 I changed the cover per your suggestion. I am relatively new at this, should I remove the "clarification needed" from the article? CoralRad (talk) 00:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yep; in general, any editor can remove cleanup tags if they feel the issues in question have been adequately addressed. If you think so, go ahead! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't get any kind of notification. Something just appeared on my talk page and I was reminded I hadn't checked on the relisted discussion.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  16:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No issues! I think it was my mistake to try and ping you through XFDcloser — I'm not sure if pings go through those messages. In any case, the discussion seems to have closed in your favor. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. And to clarify, I got a notification about something entirely unrelated.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  22:38, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Appreciating your comments
Hello @TechoSquirrel69 Senior editors have an eagle's eye that can capture such details as mentioned. As a junior editor, myself, I always take them heartedly and rework to address the issues. I believe that the content of the article is of public interest (the well being of Swahili language), so I shall try to keep on pushing it. Thanks. Dee Soulza (talk) 20:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Dee Soulza: Thanks for your message. While I admire your desire to uphold what I assume is your linguistic heritage by writing about the Swahili language, please remember not to let that translate into a biased writing style. As I mentioned in my review, we need to try our best to remain neutral on the subjects we're writing about — our goal is not to convince the reader of anything or highlight any one perspective. The encyclopedia simply summarizes the information provided in reliable sources without adding any interpretations. I wish you luck with writing your draft article. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Dee Soulza (talk) 07:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Last name
Thank you, didn't mean to edit an archive of a talk page. Probably could ask you for help. There is a good bit of misunderstanding on here about how to talk about family members with the same last names. It's generally established that you use first names to distinguish which person is being referenced. You can see FM Sky doesn't think so. Deliciously (talk) 02:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Deliciously: No problem! I'm not particularly interested in joining your original discussion, but I'm sure can weigh in now that the message is on the right page. Also, you don't need to post replies to my talk page when the original comment is on yours, you can simply ping me in the thread (like I'm doing here) and I'll be notified of your message; this helps keeps discussions organized and in the same place. Let me know if you have any questions. — TechnoSquirrel69  ( sigh ) 03:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Dark Deco
Hello, may you reopen the discussion for Dark Deco, so I don't have to re-nominate it? Even with no comments, no quorum is not a "do nothing" close, and should have either been acted upon as I suggested (retargeted to a Batman related topic such as Batman: The Animated Series, one of the only relevant uses of this term on Wikipedia), or remained open to garner further comments, per WP:NOQUORUM (or Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes for RfD specific). I would prefer not to unilaterally retarget in the meantime as there are multiple options, but the status quo is not one and has no support. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Utopes! Thanks for reminding me about the silent consensus principle, which slipped my mind when I closed this discussion. I don't have time to do so at the moment, but I will overturn my closure and re-close the discussion later this evening or tomorrow. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Utopes: Thanks for your patience; done. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

(team player 17, can the page be updated since sources prove he is not retired...) 93.138.236.53 (talk) 18:50, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey there, and thanks for contributing to this article! My primary concern with your changes was that this person had announced their retirement relatively recently, so it's questionable to use a database to prove that they're still active as it might not have been updated. You will need to provide a reliable source dated after the retirement announcements to confirm that the subject is still playing. Let me know if you have any questions! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 22:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * it is website of club founded this year, so way to implement correct data should be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.140.139.165 (talk • contribs) 00:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That clarifies the date then, but I'm unsure I would consider that website a reliable source regardless. As I mentioned in my edit summary earlier, you might be better served by waiting for a response on the article's talk page and discussing the situation with an editor more knowledgeable about this general topic area — I'm certainly not the most prolific editor of articles on sportspeople. Also, do you operate the Cenderabird account? If you do, I would highly recommend logging in when you edit to prevent possible concerns of sockpuppetry. Let me know if I can help in any other way. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 00:31, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * im with ip only. that is malay fa website, i dont know what next... if you are prolific with reverting sources, good luck. once it will get changed, very strange situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.140.139.165 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying the detail about the account. I'm not quite sure I understand the rest of your message, but another editor may be able to help you out on the talk page. You might also consider asking your question at the Teahouse, where experienced editors will be able to help you out. Also, in accordance with the talk page guideline, please make sure you're signing and indenting your messages. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 17:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

May 2024 NPP backlog drive – Points award

 * Appreciate it, Josh! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 19:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

How do I delete my draft?
Hey, I’m back, I hope you are doing well. I have a minor technical question: I accidentally created a normale draft instead of going through the article wizard like I wanted to. This may be a dumb question, but how do I delete it (on mobile)? FortunateSons (talk) 18:42, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello again, FortunateSons, and thanks for the well wishes — I'm hanging in there! I want to note that there's nothing wrong with creating a draft directly without using the Article Wizard, and it shouldn't impact your writing process very much. If you still want to, you can request deletion under CSD G7 by placing db-author at the top, provided you are the only editor who's made substantive contributions to the page. Let me know if you have any other questions. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 19:36, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m glad you’re doing ok. Yeah, that was what I was looking for.
 * I’m know that there isn’t anything wrong with doing it directly, but I still prefer working with the added structure that the AW provides, particularly as this is only my second BLP.
 * Thank you very much for the help :) FortunateSons (talk) 19:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Please
Next time can you provide a link to the WP:RSN discussion when removing content? I was utterly confused by your broad edit summary that x source was unreliable. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:17, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Will do, Knowledgekid87! I had initially been pasting a boilerplate edit summary containing a link to the discussion, but I must have switched to the wrong one somewhere along the way. Thanks for the heads-up./ — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 21:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Request to Review Draft
Hey there I changed my article Draft:Sukesha to wikitext. I also added some citations. Would love for you to review it and share your thoughts to help me improve. Yatharthsrivastava (talk) 11:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Yatharthsrivastava, thanks for making those changes. I don't typically conduct AfC reviews on request, and I'm also not familiar with the topic area of Indian mythology, so it might be better to leave it for another reviewer. Let me know if you have any other questions. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 15:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Wikipedia new page patrol backlog drives


A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia new page patrol backlog drives indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 19:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Exchange review?
Hi there. I've just noticed you nominated Mai Fujisawa. I happened to have recently nominated Musashi Miyamoto (Vagabond). It's a small article too so I wonder if you are interested in exchanging reviews if you don't have problem. I prose skills aren't pretty good so Musashi was copyedited before nominating it. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 21:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Tintor2! Sure, I'd be happy to review your nomination. I can't do so immediately, as I have some off-wiki busywork to get to this week, but I should have more time to conduct the review towards the end of next week. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 22:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Tintor2: I've opened the review for your nominee. However, I've decided to retract my nomination of Mai Fujisawa due to issues I have with the sourcing which I don't believe can be solved in a way that gels well with the GA criteria to my satisfaction. I'll be around with comments in the next couple of days! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 23:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Promotion of List of accolades received by The Boy and the Heron

 * Welcome to WP:QAI, and congratulations to the quality work I see on this page alone! List your articles for review on top of the project talk, - and review ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the welcome, Gerda — thanks for stopping by! I'll be a little busy for the next week or so, but I'll take a look at the QAI talk page when I can. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 14:14, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update, Gerda; I also have an article planned for the drive but am finding it more difficult than I thought to track down reviews in obscure science fiction magazines! I would be more careful about how you attract people to your ITN nomination — directly calling for support in this way could be interpreted as canvassing. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh ) 14:16, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, also for improving article quality in June! - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:53, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
