ANI

The irony isn't lost on me that a misunderstanding over these scientist articles has probably helped them out quite a bit. You find yourself helpful in ways you don't even mean to be. TimothyJosephWood 21:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

@Timothyjosephwood: Right? I was actually really glad to have learned that it was an editathon and not some paid editing farm. Hoping that it makes things better for them in the long run. EvergreenFir (talk) 22:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with the editors, your comments are appreciated JarrahTree 02:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

New matter regarding 2016 Milwaukee riots

Hey! I'm going to need your help in making sure this poorly-sourced edit does not make it in the 2016 Milwaukee riots article. The user in question has pushed for its inclusion before (it actually got him banned for 31 hours as a result) and I am now discussing it on the talk page. I would very much appreciate any assistance I can get, because I don't like the WP:POV manner of that edit. Thanks! :D Parsley Man (talk) 19:39, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Orlando "victims" list format

Re:

My section heading was incorrect and misleading. Apparently some feel that the perp should be in the list, as was done in articles like Sandy Hook and VA Tech, and Mateen is listed at the end of the prototype box. I don't particularly care one way or the other, but I would hope we could avoid a big debate about it. Assuming he stayed, what would your suggested box title be? My rationale for the single word was "don't state the obvious", but I can see the view that it's awkwardly terse, and I'm flexible on that point.

I ask because I'm going to restart the poll with an uncollapsed box, and I'll change its title as well.

Or, given your comment, Sum up the content sufficiently so the reader could choose to expand the list or not., would you be ok with "Killed" if the box were not collapsed? ―Mandruss ☎ 22:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

"Excellent sleuthing"--you took the words right out of my mouth

Hello EGF, I just wanted to take a minute to say what a nice catch that was, recognizing the pattern of what turned out to be the mixed result of a Wikibomb event. I think you and the others involved in the ANI discussion are handling the matter in just the right fashion needed in order to attempt to maintain those new volunteers while also cleaning up the content that is not policy-consistent. The truth is, we really need new editors, not just in general, but in this area in particular. So I hope you manage the clean up while encouraging, rather than discouraging, those new potential editors--and I think you are all approaching the matter in exactly the manner which gives the best chance of that outcome. Anyhow, if not for the fact that I am exceptionally busy this week, I'd like to offer a hand with that important effort, but I figured at the very least I could give a shout-out/show of appreciation.

@Snow Rise: Thank you so much! This was very thoughtful of you. Sorry I took so long to reply; I've been without data/internet for 4 days or so due do moving to another state and just getting internet to the new place today around noon. I will do my bast to help out, but I might not be too active for the next few days as I'm unpacking, getting work organized, etc. Again thank you for the barnstar and lovely comments! :D EvergreenFir (talk) 03:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Previous RFC being ignored

Hello, you kindly weighed in on a previous RFC Talk:Antisemitism_in_the_United_States#RFC_-_Antisemitic_incidents which I am trying to use as precedent for a similar issue on another page where I am meeting resistance and an apparent lack of engagement with the relevant wikipedia policies. It would be helpful if you could weigh in on the issue at Talk:Antisemitism in 21st-century France#Don't just list incidents. Thanks. -Dan Eisenberg (talk) 20:22, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Back finally, sorta

@Parsley Man, Mandruss, and Dan Eisenberg: Sorry about the long delay. I just got internet back at noon today. My mobile carrier doesn't have data out here either, so I was mostly offline for the past 4 days. I am still unpacking and all, so I might not be very active until next week. I will try to address your messages soon. Cheers! EvergreenFir (talk) 03:17, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

WP:NORUSH, WP:WIP. Welcome back. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:20, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

I asked you something? Well, whatever it is, it's archived and long forgotten. It's okay; I don't care. :) Parsley Man (talk) 03:35, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

BRD

Why do you cite BRD, revert, then not discuss? Tiny Dancer 48 (talk) 20:39, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Because I had to go AFK and the onus is on you. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Genderqueer

Hi. Discussing race can be a bit stressful, so I think a little chit chat helps. I notice from your user boxes that you're genderqueer. What is that exactly? I've never heard of it. Tiny Dancer 48 (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
