Your signature
Hi, Why? I Ask! I notice that you have modified your signature; fantastic ~ i have too! But, i just need to point you to this link, specifically the second point in paragraph 4.2.2 Guidelines and policies: A customised signature should provide an easily-identified link to your talk page. You are encouraged to also provide a link to your user page, because i note that your signature currently doesn't have either such link. Perhaps you could correct this? Thanks, happy days, LindsayHello 15:03, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, I assume you're talking about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Halfway (2009 film) (which I have hopefully fixed). I used Twinkle to automate it, and it seems that it didn't link my user page. Do you know what I did wrong or if there are any workarounds? Why? I Ask 15:22, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's where i saw it. But, if you notice, on this page there is no link on your signature, either.  Are you using four tildes "~" to sign?  If you are, then you should go to Special:Preferences and change the signature there making sure that there's a link in it.  If you need any more help, please ask, 'cause i'm very happy to answer questions at any time; happy days, LindsayHello 15:59, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, i didn't answer your second question: Twinkle just takes your signature as defined in your preferences and uses it.  Absent any weird runtime errors (and i've never seen it make this error) it simply signs exactly as you yourself would by typing the four tildes. happy days, LindsayHello 16:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)


 * It seems that (preferences) may have been the case, although I do not recall ever tampering with it. Having the box unchecked should work now. Thank you for your help : ) Why? I Ask (talk) 16:18, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

your TfD nomination
I noticed User:ProcrastinatingReader closed your nomination of Template:Extended techniques as no consensus despite me commenting that all this relisting should not obscure the fact nobody bothered to oppose your nomination. Also it was a WP:NACD despite the close call. While I appreciate the name/action synergy of the procrastination that took place here, if you should decide to re-nominate WhyIAsk, feel free to ping me and I'll actively support your nomination just out of principle, ensuring that relisting and technicalities won't stand in your way - only actively opposing comments will. Silence must be considered consensus or Wikipedia will never get anything done. CapnZapp (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

A Big Thank You
I would like to express my gratitude for supporting my claim on the WordGirl page. After seeing you made the edit summary The IP was right, despite its uncooperativeness, I forgive you. 2603:6080:A608:500:E11F:1000:F2C6:75B2 (talk) 01:11, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

thanks for undoing my edit (not sarcastic!!)
hey, thanks for undoing my edit on the glockenspiel page, I didn't realize they were different. I thought there was something about the recordings that sounded off but I just assumed it meant there was more variation in glockenspiel sounds than I thought! you learn something new every day ig lmaooo Iamextremelygayokay (talk) 21:01, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Resolutions
Thank you for your message. I didn't realise this was a technical term.Spinney Hill (talk) 09:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC).
 * No problem; I should've have mentioned it earlier in all fairness. Why? I Ask (talk) 09:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding article "List of compositions by John Philip Sousa"
Hi @Why? I Ask: I noticed that you have edited the article "List of compositions by John Philip Sousa" extensively. Just wanted to inform you that I have created an another article(List of marches composed by John Philip Sousa) by moving a redirect page. It has almost all the details one may require, but kindly suggest me if I missed something? Thanks for your edits on the main compositions page, as they helped me in listing the marches (although I have corrected years in few, and added some missing marches) Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!! Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:42, 11 June 2021 (UTC)'''
