Hi - just a heads up that I reverted your close of this AfD. Not sure why, but the close was formatted incorrectly, the title of the article should be within the archive header (see differences here). If you don't use it already, I'd recommend using Wikipedia:XFDcloser. Finally, I just want to emphasise I only reverted because of the formatting, but in general one shouldn't close one's own withdrawn AfDs, it's always best to let an uninvolved editor or admin do it. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks for the heads-up! InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 13:54, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I saw the information you added to Massey Lake, Texas. Thank you for improving the article and adding the information! Colman2000 (talk) 04:06, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Colman! I find myself doing a lot of this stuff as of recent ;) InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 13:55, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

No problem! Please let me know about any future edits you make. Keep it up! You're doing great! Colman2000 (talk) 04:19, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, InvadingInvader! I notice you've recently PRODed some Olympians for deletion. Thanks for getting involved in tackling the enormous amount of these probably non-notable stubs!

I just wanted to make a couple of suggestions if you don't mind. First off, most articles for Olympians who only participated in one event can be boldly redirected as an alternative to deletion. All you need to do is follow the simple instructions at Wikipedia:Redirect. If the Olympian only competed in one event, you can normally redirect it to that specific event article. It saves a lot of time and allows for articles to be easily restored if better sources are found.

Also, it's probably best not to send a deletion template to Lugnuts as he is banned with TPA revoked, so can't do anything about the notices. Lugnuts created a huge proportion of these Olympian stubs, so you'll come across his name quite a lot.

Hope you didn't mind the suggestions! Thanks. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 20:38, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! I was not previously aware that Lugnuts was banned with TPA revoked. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 20:40, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Much of my work is mirrored between both Exxon and Chevron, and much of what can be improved in the Exxon article (assuming that we're doing this first) can be mirrored on over to Chevron. Most of my work has been focusing on improving Exxon's operations, corporate structure, and history. My biggest concern with both articles is due weight with regards to criticism, which is part of my reason for the split into separate articles.

I absolutely agree in retrospect that while the split was a good move, more content should have been kept on the main article; this is one of the most widely criticized companies in the world. I appreciate the thorough review that you are taking into this article, and take your time by all means. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 19:16, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

I was reviewing

PNG Gas

, and I'm finding that WP's coverage of ExxonMobil's activity in these places is very poor. Right now, the main article just has a single link to these articles, with no summary of activities there. It's hard to imagine that we could have a good summary when the articles themselves are in such poor shape.

I did expand Arun gas field, but I don't think I will be able to expand Exxon Nigeria, or clean up PNG gas — at least not quickly. And these aren't the only global operations that need better coverage.

So I'm thinking I'll have to fail the GA, because we're not going to get a clear and complete article about Exxon's global operations anytime soon. It's a pretty big job. Just wanted to check in here before I do that. I hope you'll continue to work on the article. I may have some time occasionally to work on the sub-articles. Could revisit it later on. Thanks. Larataguera (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Will you PLEASE open an RFC on "Year in the United States" pages, instead continuing to force a college onto 'one' page. GoodDay (talk) 23:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Look man, consensus was already established a LONG time ago to include the collage. You're the only one who really wants this off the article. What you're doing like borderline disruptive editing. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

No it wasn't. Not with only four editors involved. But, I will offer a compromise for all the "Year in United States" pages. Have the colleges, but reduce the size. GoodDay (talk) 23:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

The talk page for 2022 in the United States is notoriously one which is lacking frequent participation from personal experience. And I'm tired of everything having to go to an RFC; nearly all of the people who edit 2022 in the United States who have participated in that discussion are in favor of the collage. You're not an admin, and you have limited merit on how to dictate things on Wikipedia. Regardless, though, I think we can come to an agreement to make the collage on 2022 in the United States smaller, though I would like to ask whether you want it smaller in pixel size or amount of images present. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:36, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I've restore the college, as I found its size to be acceptable. If you would agree to keep future colleges in the "Year in the United States" pages, to that size? I'll be content. GoodDay (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Could you clarify on pixel size or amount of content featured? And I'm not the person who wants to add collages to all years/pages; just this one. If you'd like to start discussions on the other individual years, go ahead. I'd be happy to offer my thoughts. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I've no problem with it as is, if it's not expanded in any way. Not sure why you're only interested in this one page, when it's part of a series of pages. GoodDay (talk) 23:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

2022 in the United States is a page I've personally been mostly invested in, and I'm not a biggie on joining WP Years at this point. I'm mostly working on adding current events to 2022 in the US. If you want to talk about how to do collages, @4me689 is the editor who seems to be much more interested in collages, so I suggest you work with him/her/them. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

One little mistake. We want the International Year colleges downsized to fit the US 2022 page example. Not the other way around. It was cumbersome size of the International colleges, that was created most of the complaints. GoodDay (talk) 23:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 00:01, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

While I appreciate your interest in the Balboa Park station article, I don't think trying to take it to FAC would be the best idea. For one, FAC is very demanding - it's generally considered the most difficult article review process to pass. It doesn't look like you have any experience bringing articles to DYK and GA; I highly recommend getting experience there before going to FAC. Second, it's not an article that you've worked on at all, nor a topic area that you have significant experience in. You'll be much better off going to FAC with an article that you've substantially worked on and know inside and out. Third, when an active editor has already done substantial work on an article such as bringing it to GA, it's both polite and sensible to consult with them before nominating the article. In this case, I would have been able to inform you that the article is not ready for FAC, as I need to update several sections. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:10, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder; I shortly realized this after nominating and ultimately decided to remove this. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 23:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

First of all... welcome to the infobox discussion. Who knew that something as inane as infoboxes would be the source of this much consternation. I left a similar comment at another editors talk[2] about SchroCat. That editor is going to be hostile about infoboxes. After the RfC on Laurence Oliver they stonewalled adding marriages to the infobox under some kind of bizarre undue argument. So I had to open up another RfC. There's been a few ARB cases around infoboxes in the past. I guess it got heated a few years ago. I'm trying to avoid all of that because most editors who review this from the outside aren't going to object or get upset about it. It seems like the only way to stop infoboxes from being implemented is to just grind it up in red tape. Nemov (talk) 13:47, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

The anti-infobox editors for some reason has a problem with me…idk why. I saw Ssilvers engage in ownership behavior on Maddie’s article, and when I dropped a friendly reminder for her on her talk page asking her nicely to kind of keep it down from there, she deleted my comment and “banned” home from her talk page. Talk about a “positive constructive attitude”…anyways I’m prepared to open up an RFC if they keep stonewalling tbh. I wouldn’t mind if you open one up yourself earlier though. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 17:28, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I'd rather find a consensus solution instead of creating RfCs. Hopefully if these topics are settled in a civil manner and they see that infoboxes are going to be a standard part of the Wikipedia project they'll eventually

WP:DROPTHESTICK. I hoped that would be the case after the Laurence Olivie RfC, but apparently that's not the case. Nemov (talk

) 19:52, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

That editor will never drop the stick. See the history of Sophie Dahl for reference. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 20:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah it might take an RFC to finally "Checkmate" (sorry for the bad pun) SchroCat. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 21:11, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

If someone else starts it (Village Pump?) I'll participate. EnPassant♟♙ (talk) 21:20, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I extended the RfC in the other article and added it to a few other topic areas to increase visibility. If there's a clear consensus that should help on the related article. Thanks! Nemov (talk) 01:43, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I think a conclusion in support of an infobox is much more likely if we provide a demonstrative infobox like I did at Mackenzie’s article. I can’t work on that tonight but I’ll try to get to it tomorrow…and if you guys beat me to it, I’ll help when I get back. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 02:23, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

According to SchroCat's block log, the editor has been blocked multiple times for edit warring and personal attacks. I'm getting a bad feeling about this tbh.... InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 07:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

  Can you please stop with the

  WP:ASPERSIONS? So far you've accused other multiple editors of gaslighting, harassment, and personal attacks when they don't exist. It needs to stop immediately or it will be remedied through appropriate action. Thanks Nemov (talk

  ) 18:52, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh dear. No aspersions in what I’ve written, and I haven’t accused multiple editors of anything (that’s just not true): I have highlighted where one user has harassed me. One. That’s not multiple. Someone one this thread is accusing me of something I didn’t do. Try focusing on that, not misrepresenting what I’ve said. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:A420:B683:639B:BA7 (talk) 19:33, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

You're not helping your case by going low. If you're being harassed on WP, open something up on a noticeboard. I'm debating opening one up myself for all this BS between editors going on. BTW, as a comment, it's interesting that your user page marks you as retired yet you're continuing to edit. Maybe come out of retirement? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 21:02, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Low? Not really. Like most people, I don’t like people claiming I’ve done things I haven’t (EnPassant, I will AGF and assume you didn’t look at it closely and jumped to the wrong conclusion, so feel free to strike your comment), and the harassment has now stopped. 2A00:23C7:2B86:9801:65FE:FE8:B65C:3BC4 (talk) 21:24, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Can you two just get along and maybe take your fight elsewhere? I have a life outside of Wikipedia and I don't want to continue to be dragged into a petty battleground. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 21:32, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for providing me these details and helping me follow this drama…I feel like I’m on reality television sometimes with these things. What was difficult to determine was whether the unilateral split should be considered as part of or as before the consensus. Given that it was a proposal to re-emerge and the level of entanglement the booster course pass created, and for the stability of the project, I decided to only go as far back as the original proposition’s time. However, I am not opposed to undoing the unilateral split, though this would have to be done at a later time since I’m currently out of the house and only able to participate in minor edits and talk page discussions. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 20:42, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

If it helps to think about, consider it this way. Before Nov 7, the status quo was a single article that covers both topics. This status quo was based on a

WP:NOCONSENSUS, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit (emphasis mine). I'm happy to handle all the edits in article space to clean this up. All you need to do is clarify your closing comment to make clear that your No Consensus decision should return the article to its preexisting status quo. Axem Titanium (talk
