Notes

Note for these interesting times. User talk:Iridescent#Reply, having slept on it is a smart take on what is likely to happen on WP for the next few weeks/months(/years?). I promise to try to (a) be less snarky than usual, and (b) be more understanding of others' snarkiness than usual. If you think I need to dial something back, emailing me to say "Dude, maybe dial it back" is more likely to work than publicly posting a lecture on my talk page. Only because I'm human and don't like getting embarrassed.
Normal humans: I'm an admin again! Not around too much, so best to ask another admin for help, but I'll do what I can, when I can. For the foreseeable future, I'm even less likely to have time to help than normal. Still responding to pings and talk page notes about stuff I'm already involved with, but any other requests will probably be politely deflected.
Admins: If you think an admin action I've taken in the past is wrong or no longer useful, go ahead and undo or change it without feeling like you have to talk to me first.

You know...

I'm not so sure they haven't been trolling this entire time. Who knows? PRAXIDICAE🌈 21:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well I don't know. But I do have an opinion. Which is becoming stronger as time goes on. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:26, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Surprise surprise. Looks like I missed all the excitement. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the year

Fourteen in a row... Ty France hitting north of .300, J-Rod tearing it up, Winkler winning fights with the whole Angels dugout, Logan Gilbert over 100 innings before the All-Star break... MastCell ^Talk 15:51, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You jinxed it! --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do have a sinking feeling that a 14-game losing streak is getting started, but I’m going to blame… regression to the mean? :P MastCell ^Talk 21:25, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Something I already told Svartava re:RcAlex36

Hello Floquenbeam,

Before you get too worried, this is NOT about my en.wikt block, but rather about the behavior of one of its users on my talkpage (that I sadly never noticed until July 5):

If you look at RcAlex36's messages here, they sound like they're almost personal attacks, especially when you consider he said my case was a case of 死不足惜 ("one's death is not or will not be a cause for regret", emphasis mine), even when I hadn't been edit-warring (disruptive editing, maybe, but not edit-warring; I had even thanked him for cleaning up after my bad edits prior to the block). In addition, I think that what he said ("I think you shouldn't be editing anything at all") may have...driven me to do these and these block-evading edits. (Both of them involved creating Japanese names from redlinks, such as those listed here; at the time, I assumed that this permablock had mainly been done because of me continuing to make the bad edits—inaccurate Chinese entry creations—that RcAlex36 was unhappy about and for which I'd originally been blocked; I was not aware that "block evasion" applied to both good and bad edits.) Of course, RcAlex36's messages don't exactly excuse my later block evasions, but they still sound somewhat like taunting to me.<shrug>

Also, RcAlex36's edit summary here and his reply to my message about that edit seem uncalled-for, since on Wiktionary you're not supposed to link to an Alternative Form of a word (like off-colour as opposed to off-color) unless you're talking about the edit history of, or links made to, the page of that Alternative Form itself.

Is what RcAlex36 did a crime? And if so, is there any way you can reprimand him for it? Thanks for your time. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 16:53, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
