I actually was a host in the past, however I was very inexperienced and didn't quite have enough knowledge to correctly answer questions, so I was removed. I haven't added my name back since, well, I don't need to. I'm technically a host just by answering the questions. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 16:33, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I made an edit on Matt Walsh's page, removing the left-wing bias, making it neutral. Right after, someone removed my edit without explanation. I reverted it back, and left a message on his talk page. You removed my reversion, claiming I didn't elaborate on why I reverted it back. Colejohanson12 (talk) 23:02, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I got your rejection of my submission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Realm-protector/sandbox) I do get your point that this seems to hard to maintain as the list will (slowly) grow larger over time.

Reason I am adding this is that old line ups of this sportsteam are hard to find - media articles online seem to disappear over time.

As the umbrella sports organisation of this national team provides line ups from 2018 on - would it be okay to publish this as a closed list for the time bracket 2003-2017. (and refer to the line ups from 2018 onward to the website of the sport organisation).

There is no list like this available anywhere online - it would be great to have this available as a record of historical information about this sportsteam. Maintenacne won't be an issue as the list is closed.

Thank you! Realm-protector (talk) 23:13, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

I would suggest a specific time period like 2003 - 2010. I recommend asking the relevant Wikiproject what they think would be good. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:27, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Blaze Wolf. A person named "WikiEditor" is vandalizing and reversing my edits to an article about the attack on Nazran. Please protect this page from vandalism. The raid on Nazran is an attack by the armed forces of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. And Ichkeria is not a bunch of militants, but a state with its own structures, including the military. The state that fought for its freedom from Russia during the Russian invasion... Please block this member or he will not stop fighting the edit war in this article. He even insulted me and addressed me in the feminine gender with the words "You are a big liar." Russian viki (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

In your review of List of PlayStation games for PlayStation 4 and 5 you say that "The first source is just a blog", but this source is playstation.com, the official outlet for news on the brand, so you might have assessed its reliability incorrectly.

No. It's the PlayStation blog. Regardless it's a primary source so it doesn't count for notability. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

It's not a secondary source but the notice on the draft mentions reliable sources as well. I would have thought that blog.playstation.com would be considered appropriate as a reliable source. Swordofneutrality (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

IT's a blog so most liekly not. Also, being a primary source does not always indicate it's reliable. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

In your modification of the article on the star Betelgeuse you said "stars are hot. If a star were cold it wouldn't exist or be a star" That is true of course, but the descriptions of stars assumes they are all hot enough to be a star. But there is a range of heat, and those that are hotter than other (blue stars are much hotter than red stars, for example) are described as "hot". See Blue supergiant, Stellar classification and Hertzsprung–Russell diagram. I am not sure if it is correct to describe Betelgeuse as "hot" (it is red, but perhaps it is a hot red, an hence the use of the word) but it is not uncommon to see the word "hot" used to describe particular stars.

Hi Blaze Wolf! With regard to this, I didn't know about that phrase. Apparently we even have an article about it. It still strikes me as homophobic though, and our article confirms that I'm at least not alone in this. In any case, the user was disruptive in other ways, so it's good that they're now blocked.

I'm often dubious though whether I should report at

Honestly I'm not entirely sure. TO me it's one of those joke usernames that immediately make it clear they will be

WP:NOTHERE like "peepeepoopoo". In my opinion it would qualify as an Offensive username which Twinkle states "Offensive usernames make harmonious editing difficult or impossible." ― Blaze Wolf^Talk

_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:31, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

(

RfC on those.) Personally I feel that they fall under an intent to disrupt and report them when I see them. ◇HelenDegenerate

◆ 03:43, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

From the point of view of an administrator who regularly patrols UAA, there are some usernames that that are so egregious that I block without needing to see disruptive edits. Then there are the borderline cases. There are certain usernames that I note in my own mind that I will block immediately at the slightest trace of disruptive editing. If such an account never edits, then there is no need for a block because there is no disruption of the encyclopedia. Drawing the line is not easy, but if the username is obviously sexualized and aggressive, or attacking and obviously trolling, I block instantly. If a borderline account disrupts, I block instantly. On the other hand, I did not block HelenDegenerate when I first noticed the username despite its risqué connotations, because I took a look at their contributions which were positive and have seen since then that Helen has proven to be among the very best at UAA reports, and Blaze Wolf is very good as well. Cullen328 (talk) 04:30, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Makes sense. To me its usually "Would a person who wants to be a regular contributor want to actually be referred to by this name?" to which most of the time the answer is no (although, an admin from another WIki thanked me for something I did and they had such a strange username that I almost thought they were a troll). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:29, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

So yeah I guess that the username I reported here (Ilikemennohomo) was a borderline case, but because their editing was also disruptive directly reporting at UAA was the right move? Now that I think about it, if they did not edit disruptively I probably would just have asked them about it at their talk.

Hi.

I saw that it reverted my edit to Bluetooth.

I am contacting you as a way of demonstrating good faith.

I'm translating the article to the Portuguese-speaking Wikipedia, and I open all the links to use as a source, and it occurred to me that when I opened the file link I moved, the link returned an error message.

When I open the page, the following message appears in the place where the theme should be:

"We're sorry, but we were unable to service your request. You may wish to choose from the links below for information about Microsoft products and services."

This by accessing that link already present in the article.

Now with what I put, the material that I believe is the right one that had to appear appears.

I take the opportunity to apologize for my English, I'm using Google Translate to send this message here, as I speak Portuguese, and also apologies for the large text. Elder N (talk) 17:20, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

@Elder N: Hello Elder! Is it not automatically sending you to the archive? The link is marked as dead so it should automatically send you there. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:51, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

The file used in the article is dated January 1, 2008, but when accessed it sends it to December 28, 2008.

The file I had inserted puts it on June 21, 2004.

In fact the original link is dead, but luckily we have the file link that we should use to verify, and this is where the problem lies, the file link itself doesn't open where it should. Elder N (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

@Elder N: It appears you may have a translation error. It seems that what you're referring to as a file is actually just the archive URL. Also, to change the archive URL instead of changing the link in the "|url=" parameter you need to change the link in the "|archive-url=" parameter. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:00, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Good friend, I took another look at my edit and reversal made by you.

And really that's right, there was an error on my part, I changed the |url= instead of the |archive-url=.

And anyway, both don't open in the right place anyway.

I must have mixed up the links when I moved that part, because the |url= is usually to have the original link, and in this article there is a file in its place. Elder N (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

@Elder N: It's alright, it can get a bit confusing when looking at it (also once again "file" isn't the right word here, it's "archive URL"). I'll take a look at it when I get home and see if it might be a permanent dead link if the archives don't work. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Right friend.

Thank you for now, and I also thank you for the nomenclature correction, I have the habit of saying only file when referring to the link to archive URL.

From what I tested from URL to file, the oldest one I got was the one from June 21, 2004, I believe there are others that work, it was just my choice to put an older one, now to avoid having problems with not opening. Elder N (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Makes sense. Really it would be best to go with the one closest to the access date to ensure the version is the one that's intended. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:54, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello--In the Article on the Camp Lejeune Water Claims...there is no mention of already deceased Marines whose families have a right to being compensated. My brother spent his entire career at Lejeune, lived in barracks at Hadnot, took two showers a day, drank water, developed 5 ills on list from 1965 until his death in 2017--including Parkinsons from mid-80's until death. If a claim is filed and is successful, is their State and Federal Taxes including inheritance taxes on the award(s)? I am his Personal Rep and this info important...I always contribute to you folks and need your help, and so does a lot of families harmed by this. The Lawyers get 40%, the Tax Folks get 35%, and the survivors get what? Is this compensation taxable? VA benefits are NOT Thanks. --Oldcts1 (talk) 18:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Blaze, we need to come to a consensus on the members that belong in the Infobox for the Mannheim Steamroller ensemble. The citation that I included with the current members of the ensemble (that you reverted) listed every member currently in the ensemble and was current for 2022-2023. Your comment, when you reverted the edit, stated "Besides, this source doesn't mention all of them" -- by "them", I assume you are referring to the names listed in the Infobox when I updated the list? But that actually isn't true. If you check the cite, you will see that the members of the ensemble that were listed in the Infobox were exactly (no more no less) the members of Mannheim Steamroller noted in the link from the citation. That citation linked to the official 2022-2023 touring roster. How is that not sufficient enough to list the members?

I would like to expand on the rationale of your edit a little more. First, let me note that your original edit to the page back in November was a good first move to clean up what had been an old and antiquated list of members. I agree with your edit back in November. I also agree with you that the ensemble changes members as often as every year for its annual tours. However, I disagree with you that "We should really only list the ones that are almost always there." American Gramaphone, the record label that releases Mannheim Steamroller's music, and is also the trademark owner of Mannheim Steamroller and is owned by Chip Davis, has made it quite clear on its website and via its social media announcements, that the ensemble, by nature of it being a classical-crossover ensemble, changes its members every year. American Gramaphone markets Mannheim Steamroller as an ensemble, not as a band, and for this reason your rationale that we should only include "the ones that are almost always there" doesn't really apply anymore.

However, and having said that, there are members beyond Chip who "are almost always there" in the present day and should be considered current members of the ensemble. For example, Roxanne Layton, who joined the ensemble in 1995, is still a member, has recorded on every Mannheim album since 1996, and still tours. Becky Kia joined in 2003 and has recorded on their albums since 2010 and still tours. Logan Penington has been with the group since 2006. All three of these members are listed in the citation that I provided and that you removed.

Now, I will say, outside of Wikipedia, that there is some controversy between the fans of Mannheim Steamroller and American Gramaphone about who constitutes the members of the Steamroller. Some subset of fans are saddened that the original members of the group have retired or, tragically in some cases, passed away. I don't know if you are reverting for this reason, and I'm not trying to say that you're reverting for this reason, but it is something that American Gramaphone is aware of and they are actively trying to re-brand Mannheim Steamroller for this reason. Most of the original members of the group are now in their 70s and 80s. Chip is 75 years old. The point I'm trying to make here is that American Gramaphone is deliberately trying to brand Mannheim Steamroller as an ensemble, and to make apparent that the members of the ensemble will change over time. As Wiki editors, I think it therefore makes sense to properly acknowledge that intent by listing the current members of the group, even if those current members change every year (and they likely will change every year). We should take the responsibility to examine the Steamroller's tour roster every year, and update the members listed in the Infobox appropriately.

Let's discuss and hopefully come to consensus. Like I said earlier, I appreciate and respect the initial edit that you made to the page. But we should come to a consensus on this. Montreux4 (talk) 05:15, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

@Montreux4: Hello Montreux! "Some subset of fans are saddened that the original members of the group have retired or, tragically in some cases, passed away. I don't know if you are reverting for this reason, and I'm not trying to say that you're reverting for this reason" I am definitely not reverting for this reason. However I was not aware that the only member who is almost always there now is Chip himself. Maybe instead we should list the most common ones? I don't think it would be a good idea to list the ones for each year since that would get a bit tedious to update. Or maybe we could just list Chip with an EFN stating that the other members change every year. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:28, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Blaze. I think this could work. What about this: what if we include a short list of artists who are part of the current tour and were involved with the most recent published recording of the ensemble that is not a compilation album. That would be their live album from 2015. The artists who were on that album, and are still touring with the group, are the artists that I mention above. That is, in addition to Chip, Roxanne Layton, Becky Kia-Mills, and Logan Penington. I agree with you that it would be important to footnote that Mannheim Steamroller works with a rolling roster of musicians for each of its annual tours. I've even seen on some Wiki pages, that the infobox will list a certain number of musicians in the box, then, at the end of the list, use a parenthetical and say "(Many Others)". We could do that here and then EFN about a changing roster of touring musicians. Let me know what you think, and I can work to update the Infobox. Thanks.

@Montreux4: "what if we include a short list of artists who are part of the current tour and were involved with the most recent published recording of the ensemble that is not a compilation album.

That is, in addition to Chip, Roxanne Layton, Becky Kia-Mills, and Logan Penington." I like this idea along with the footnote while still adding "many others". That way it isn't a huge giant infobox but we aren't leaving anyone out. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 17:13, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf. Thanks. I agree. I'll work on an edit and let you know once it is up if you want to make any further contributions. Montreux4 (talk) 22:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey, hi there hello. I'm simply making a correction both these titles are the 4th and fifth games with ultimate being the 6th. This is all confirmed by the creator himself

I'd like to know how my corrections is considered "not neutral" LuigiMain (talk) 15:20, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@LuigiMain: Because it doesn't match most sources. We don't go by what 1 person thinks. We go by what most sources think. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 15:33, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello friend.

I had a question, and since you've helped me in the past, you'll know what I can do now.

Anyway, I found, I think, a couple of links that don't open in the article Bluetooth, in this case it's the original links present in |url=, however, the link present in |archive-url= opened normally, and I was able to view the content I needed.

In these specific cases, if I encounter problems and manage to edit the article, should I update the |url-status= from live to dead or leave it as it is and report it on the talk page?

I ask this so I don't have problems with reversed edits, and as I said before, I don't speak English and I use a translator, but whenever I'm checking the fonts I find some with problems, like one of the ones I tried to open and it gave a 403 error. Elder N (talk) 22:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Error 403 doesn't necessarily mean that the link is dead but it might. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk

_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 23:04, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

In Bluetooth 4.1 font number 106 does not open, this is error 403.

In the same section there is source 107 with error 404.

These are marked with the |url-status=live

I also couldn't open source 109 of Bluetooth 4.2, this one even loads here for me in the browser, but there's that chrome error screen, with the message "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT", and asking to do some checks on my connection, proxy and run Windows network diagnostics, but it couldn't be a problem with my computer or connection, since all other links open normally, the link present in |archive-url= opened for that site. Elder N (talk) 23:12, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@Elder N: Source 109 was already marked as dead. However i have no changes sources 106 and 107 to be dead. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 00:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

	For sticking with my un-understandable self and helping me out with making a signature till the end. (Not that it’s made yet) PS: I couldn’t wait till it was made and it’s Christmas so I had to. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:16, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Blaze, thank you for watching over my talk page as diligently as you have. I appreciate you and value the contributions you have made, from standard edits to articles and article creation to protecting the encyclopedia (both mainspace and talkspace) and for your responses at the TeaHouse. I can tell you have grown a lot since your very first days and I have appreciated seeing your development from a distance. No matter what you decide, I would be remiss not to let you know you are valued. From one wolf to another, I hope you have had and continue to have an amazing Winter break and that your 2023 is more healthy and prosperous than ever before. --ARoseWolf 15:50, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Uhh I found out I could get a signature made here? If you can please do InfernaIBaze (talk) 04:16, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@InfernaIBaze: Hello Infernal! I can definitely make a signature for you. What do you want it to look like? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:11, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hmmm, good question. Maybe a black and red or a little techy blue would be nice, Thanks. InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Either one works InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

@InfernaIBaze: Alright. Any specific shape or do you want it similar to mine? Do you want a gradient of red to techy blue (if I can figure that out which will probably just be stealing someone else's signature with a gradient to reference). ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 03:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Whatever you think is best works InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:12, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

@InfernaIBaze: I'm not really all that creative so I have a hard time coming up with stuff on the fly. What specific shape do you want it or do you want it to look similar to mine? ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 03:13, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Similar to yours works (I’m not creative either) InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:15, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

@InfernaIBaze: Hey! So in regards to the link to your talk, is there anything you want underneath the link or is it fine as is? If so would you like the parentheses removed and any custom formatting around the link? Do note that I am limited to 255 characters total so it has to fit within that limit. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:34, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Nope it’s fine like this. Sorry I haven’t been able to reply. InfernaIBaze (talk) 02:37, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Nah it's alright. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 03:27, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Also, I’m probably gonna sound really dumb staying this but when will the signature be made? (Assuming it’s not already made) InfernaIBaze (talk) 04:29, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

And another thing (unrelated to the signature) is that discord user box outline how did you get it? InfernaIBaze (talk) 04:40, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Answer to your first question: Should be done sometime today assuming I'm not lazy. Answer to your second question: It's a template. Specifically User:Levi_OP/Discord Profile. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:09, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer, I’ll be looking forward to the signature! InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:51, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Lemme know when it’s done InfernaIBaze (talk) 00:53, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Also @Blaze Wolf how do you find these cool templates? It’s not like you just found the template in the template menu or anything InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

In response to the Japanese test, all I can understand is the first part which is "Konnichiha" or "hello. Other than that I have no clue what the rest says. I'm still at a very basic level lol. Also, the way I found the cool template on my talk page was that I think I remember seeing it on someone else's userpage before it was a template and the guy (who I think is now inactive) made it into a template since I wanted it on my userpage as well. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:36, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I am very sorry that I have to be like this. If you feel annoyed( and I know you do) you can stop helping me at any time. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:21, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

And even after that apology I feel intreged to ask. How Are you learning Japanese. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I spelt that wrong I just know it. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:25, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi! When editing, if a reload accidentally happens unlike other wikis, it doesn’t restore the changes. How do you stop this from happening? --SikiWtideI (Speak to the backwards police) 17:35, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @SikiWtideI: Blaze may be able to find another (possibly on-wiki) solution, but here’s my 2 cents— whenever I make a large edit to a page, I copy the text to my iPad’s clipboard every few minutes. That way, when my technical issues inevitably occur, everything’s backed up and I can just paste my work back in. Hope this helps! ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 19:19, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
