Help on a translation

Since you know the IPA how do you spell Runit Island? Nikospatras (talk) 19:07, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To my current knowledge, /ˈrunɪt aɪlənd/ (this would be redundant though, per the standard that common English words do not need IPA) would be the IPA spelling of Runit Island, given I'm assuming the name pronunciation correctly. Also, good for you finding that page needing IPA. Cheers! dross (c · @) 19:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dross,

I am working on updating the WikiProject Oregon contributors'

username causes an error when my bot attempts to process it because that is what is in Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon/Participants. Do you still consider yourself part of WP:Oregon? —EncMstr (talk) 20:47, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply

Removing my edits

Hello!

I understand that there is concern that I removed a section of an article, but it was a verbatim copy-paste from an earlier section of the article, under a new name at the bottom.

I do see that now. A lot of red marks looks bad in RC and diff. Thanks for letting me know! dross (c · @) 20:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was notified that you have put back the section that I had removed from an article. TO YOUR NOTICE, the film is successfully running in theatres till now and the entire plot has been typed out there. And that is gonna potentially affect the film's welcome. That is why I had removed it. A film which has finished the theatre can surely have the content on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.99.149.94 (talk) 19:59, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that is not valid reason to blank the entire plot section of the page. If it were, then all Wikipedia's current movie pages would be missing a plot section, and they wouldn't be very informational. Your response to this raises a couple concerns for me. Have you read
WP:COI? Your concern with the film's performance in the theater appears to me that you may be associated with the production of the film. dross (c · @) 20:25, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply

Help with Portland High School Page

Hi User:Dross: I see you are involved in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Education and a native of the Pac NW. I was wondering if you might have time to help me with some edits on the Catlin Gabel School page? They are requesting some revisions/update, and I'm currently in a COI relationship with them and can not make the edits myself. Might you have the time to review my current requests on that page and help me usher them through, if approved? I'd greatly appreciate it. Best LeepKendall (talk) 18:58, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
