  Hello, I'm Peaceray. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Midway Atoll, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. See "MODIS Web: Home >> Images >> Midway Islands". modis.gsfc.nasa.gov. Retrieved 2019-04-07. {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |dead-url= (help) for a US Government citation stating Midway is not part of the State of Hawaiʻi.

Grant, perhaps we can work on the wording together. I'd rather find language to which we can both agree than to involve myself in an edit war. James Nicol (talk) 13:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't see what there is to work on. I used completely neutral wording that referred to "the view that..." That's pretty neutral wording, and such a conclusion has been established in the article for constitutional carry. You're the one trying to defend your edits with irrelevant political rhetoric in violation of WP:NPOV. I can't see any reason for you to object to the language I inserted other than there being a bias in play, and judging from your contributions and history, that's the only conclusion I can make.

Concealed carry map

edit

You can edit the legend for the concealed carry map at Template:Concealed carry permit requirements in the US. I created the template because the map appears on at least three pages, and this allows for only one page to have to be edited each time the legend needs to change. Hope this helps.

Trolling

Pleae read wp:troll. Slatersteven (talk) 13:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please read "go back into retirement, old man." It was a single Wikipedia edit that changed a short description. :) MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 13:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
No, it was a crap joke designed to wind people up. And it does not matter how many edits it was trolling is trolling. Slatersteven (talk) 13:48, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Respectfully, get bent. ❤️ MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 16:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
And read wp:civility. Slatersteven (talk) 16:45, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

And given this this is now a warning, vandalize Wikipedia again and I will report you, my last word here. We are not a comedy club for your amusement we are an encyclopedia (read wp:not). Slatersteven (talk) 16:47, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

"This is now a warning... I will report you!" Dude, take a breather, go touch some grass. Your preferred candidate lost, I get it, but this is the internet and you're getting butthurt because someone poked fun at it. You're old enough to know better than to get mad at political banter. Go have a pint and chill before you have a stroke. MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 20:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

don't vandalize articles please

I get it, election its over and you wanna celebrate with some good old lighthearted mockery.

Please do that literally anywhere else but wikipedia or any other quasi-academic publication. DarmaniLink (talk) 13:11, 6 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
