(BTW I'm not 'she', rather 'he'. Sorry for the confusing name, it's a relic of a different time, a time of joy and happiness, when I wasn't aware it was a feminine name in the English-speaking world. :) --Joy (talk) 11:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC))[reply]

Noted, apologies :-) —Alalch E. 11:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is also trying to coatrack entheogens and religion into the {{Alcohol and health}} template, then spam that template onto multiple religion articles, FYI. Skyerise (talk) 19:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. —Alalch E. 19:51, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... for this edit. This was obviously one of the rare occasions when changing another editor's post was the right thing to do.👍 JBW (talk) 13:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. —Alalch E. 13:12, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, i am Alex Brad Casanas, mostly known on YouTube and Reddit by my alias MISTER MANTICORE. I appreciate your work in The Monument Mythos article but as you can see i left a message to my fans and the article editors, as my therapist recommended me to ask you all to stop the work on the article and to delete it for my mental sanity keep. If you don't know about me, i did horrible things in the past and i had to seek for mental help after it, and that article only makes me feel grief and damage slowly my mental sanity as it reminds me of the bad things i did. Thanks for taking your time and reading my message.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Alex, what about Analog horror#The Monument Mythos? There is already content about your webseries published on Wikipedia. What is your comment on that? —Alalch E. 16:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know the existance of that article and it's content. If it's possible, can that section be deleted too? My therapist requested me as an exercise to delete and stop working on all the Monument Mythos related media, including the consequence of having to either make all the Monument Mythos videos private or to delete my own YouTube channel and give the adminship of my Reddit server to my friend Eliana. If it's possible i would like to request the deletion of both the Monument Mythos draft and the Analog Horror article section that references my works too, please. Thanks for taking your time for reading my messages and to answer me.

Yours faithfully,

I want to make this dialogue efficient so I will write short replies and sometimes phrase them as questions with the aim of producing certain intermediate conclusions which may help clear things up. Please answer: Do you agree that a general-purpose online encyclopedia should cover the topic of analog horror in a standalone entry so that readers' can search for the term "analog horror" and are led to the entry titled "Analog horror" providing comprehesive coverage of this topic? —Alalch E. 16:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that yes, people should have access to the Analog Horror article. But i think that your point is that you will try to make me answer to you in a manner so you refuse to delete the required information by missibterpreting my answers. I know that Wikipedia is an expanding encyclopedia but administrators shoukd have up in mind the mental care and health statuses of the people they are writing about. I already had to ask Eliana to take control of my Reddit and Patreon accounts, i had to delete my new series for all my mental feeling storms i am having, and my mental sanity is again fading and worsening after this new crisis. If you wish to ask me more questions i will be glad to answer them but please, consider my mental health and my therapy when you do them, thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Since readers should be able to read an article about analog horror on this encyclopedia, and as analog horror is a certain genre of media exemplified by certain works, just as any genre is exemplified by certain works, and seeing how your work is one of the prominent examples known for its particular direction insofar as it is based on alternate history settings, helping explain the breadth and pliability of the analog horror genre, which broadens our readers understanding of the subject matter, and as reputable journalistic outlets have written about your webseries, precisely citing it as one of the most noteworthy examples of the genre,

policy about how to treat topics involving living persons (check, content is also fine, sensitive, and respectful in this regard), there is no force in the world which can remove this content from Wikipedia. The question if there should be a standalone article about The Monument Mythos is more of a technical matter of content organization. Right now there isn't a standalone article. The draft that exists is not an article. It's not in the encyclopedia (imagine a printed encyclopedia and a piece of paper lying next to it; that's what a draft is). If it isn't incorporated in the encyclopedia and if six months pass before anyone has edited it again, it will be deleted.—Alalch E. 18:26, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

So, my own mental sanity is no reason for Wikipedia to remove an article, i see. Well, then if my mental health worsens and somethimg happens to me as Wikipedia refuses to remove the content, it's my fault or it's Wikipedia's fault that my mental health worsens because someone has to recopilate data at the expense of the health status of others? Some people even dared to include the infamous Google Doc file with the incident i protagonized and apologized and your admins decides to keep it at the cost of my own sanity!

As i see that Wikipedia is a dictatorship and doesn't care about the healthcare of other people, I will have to communicate to all my followers to boycott Wikipedia, apart of making the story of a new series on YouTube about Wikipedia's malevolent intentions. And yes, you will be included as one of the antagonists. Grief can make you a monster.

The content treats your work fairly and duly, focuses not on you but on your work, and does no disservice to you as an individual. We pursue a mission of building an encyclopedia to disseminate free knowledge to the world. When knowledge is added we safeguard it and don't let it be lost. Our mission is to educate about analog horror which entails educating readers about your webseries as a prominent example of analog horror just as our mission is to educate about the atom. If there was something negative about you that isn't supported with high-quality sources, something contentious and dubious, too much unnecessary detail or private information etc., it would have been another matter. There is nothing that can be done about this content with respect to removal, both at the draft and in the article, because the content is good. It is educational content worthy of inclusion. Share this conversation with your followers and let them make their own judgement. Best wishes —Alalch E. 19:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

Speaking from extensive past experience at Talk:Russian invasion of Ukraine, in my opinion talk page discussion would be a much better way to effect infobox changes.

I had to use a Twinkle restore as it wasn’t practical to do a manual reversion, so I cordially invite you to redo the source rescues.

Cheers, RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 09:04, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. The rescues were solely related to the infobox change, so there is no need to reconstruct the intermediate edits. —Alalch E. 09:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you often do recent major news events? If not, you should consider doing more of them, your emphasis on procedure and no-nonsense is ideal for it Alexanderkowal (talk) 22:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. Not quite often perhaps. I worked on Wagner Group rebellion last year, and most recently, I successfully nominated Killing of Shani Louk for GA. It's true that my immediate motivation to join Wikipedia was to edit an suggest changes to a particular current event article (I took a few lessons with me from that period...). I believe that a specific quality of Wikipedia is to provide comprehensive coverage of current events in a way that provides greater utility to an average person than what they, as an average consumer of media, could obtain from reading a few news articles or watching a typical TV program. It's indicative that, when asked "What is Wikipedia?", the first thing that Brooke Vibber said was: Wikipedia, as a sort of the idea of it, is to be very open to accepting contributions, to the point that a lot of material can be put together very quickly, and it can be updated immediately when events change. For instance, when something important happens in current events, we have an article on it right away. If you would like to collaborate with me on a specific current event article, start a new current event article and seek my input etc., I'd be very glad to participate. —Alalch E. 23:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s great, yeah just do what interests you. The neutral POV is what I imagine people crave regarding recent events. I don’t think I’ll be doing much recent events in the future, it’s not really where my skills lie, but it’s really great Wikipedia supports them. All the best for the future Alexanderkowal (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, same to you. —Alalch E. 23:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
