Hi
I've tentatively semi-protected this page for a month. Any idea who is doing the harassment? --NeilN talk to me 23:23, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Not sure how it started exactly, but one case is after I reverted on the page of an administrator. Tropicalkitty (talk) 23:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry you're getting harassed. If you'd like me to reduce the time of the semi-protection please let me know. If you're working with new editors or IP's then a reduced time might be a good idea. --NeilN talk to me 23:35, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- NeilN, The setting of the protection that you have on right now is okay, but I don't mind either way because I'm on x-wiki monitoring. ms.wikipedia is the only other place I remember at the moment about the nonsense. Tropicalkitty (talk) 23:45, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
edit warring?
Hello, I am just a neutral observer and saw that there are a lot of reverts on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RoverTheBendInSussex... I see that you were just undoing vandalism and that the other user has been blocked indefinitely. Thought I would say hello and link you to wp:3rr, just in case it happens any other time... Anyway this is just my novice advice, cheers - happy editing.... Cityside189 (talk) 00:24, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- I don't believe this was a 3RR violation since RoverTheBendInSussex clearly didn't want it. Although I might be in the way (if RoverTheBendInSussex mentions that later). Tropicalkitty (talk) 00:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- thanks for not biting!! I'm just getting used to the place and thanks for your reply. Probably I should not wade into supposed problems before I get my sea legs, anyway.... Cityside189 (talk) 01:19, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- I am grateful for your action on my User page Tropicalkitty. Thankyou. This individual has been harassing me on Facebook, Twitter and now Wikipedia for a while. He and another individual have also set out to ruin my business. Unpleasant individuals.RoverTheBendInSussex (talk) 02:27, 21 August 2015 (GMT)

Previous account
Tropicalkitty, I just noticed you here. A brief look at your contribution history from start to now indicates to me that you are not a WP:Newbie. Do you mind me asking why you are using this new account? Flyer22 (talk) 03:12, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- Of course everyone knows... at least off-wiki and on Meta-Wiki. Tropicalkitty (talk) 03:49, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
- I appreciate the link. Judging by your edits, I was more so hoping that this account is a WP:VALIDALT account instead of an indefinitely blocked or banned editor returning as a WP:Sock.
- Happy editing. You are obviously more than free to remove this section from your talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 04:30, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
It's Jackson larson
It's Jackson Colton18 (talk) 19:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Do you have something to prove Buster Posey is Jackson Larson, Colton18? Tropicalkitty (talk) 20:05, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
REFUND request for Draft:Shalhavit Simcha Cohen
Actually, though the IP requester gave an odd address of some site in Wikia where they had found a copy, this was a valid G13 request, and I have restored it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Use template messages
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to K V Narayana: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -- Sam Sailor Talk! 23:26, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
If you're into crosswiki spambots
I've just blocked a shedload. There's more of the same here -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:54, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:11, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Done. Thanks (to those involved) for letting me know. Tropicalkitty (talk) 22:23, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Re: Redirects
Thank you for responding to my initial question about redirecting from my old user account. Something had changed that prevented me from logging in as Mrnatural, so I'm starting over. I ran into a help topic that suggested using redirection to (in some sense) link a new account to an older one, but I didn't understand exactly what they were suggesting. Would the redirect go in the bio page or the old talk page. And wouldn't it make my previous history invisible? I guess for the time being I'll just put a note in the new bio WiserMrnatural (talk)
- WiserMrnatural, I didn't see anything at CA, so I think it's just the usual login issue. Tropicalkitty (talk) 20:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Impressed
Hi Tropicalkitty. I am impressed that you found the silly nonsense on my Talk page and reverted it. How did you stumble on it? Kudos. Ping me back. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 07:20, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- Checkingfax, I noticed that username in the filter log. It looked suspicious after looking at it with the edit. Tropicalkitty (talk) 06:08, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

edits and changes
Hello, Tropicalkitty, forgive this intrusion here, I do appreciate your concern and consideration, but these are the facts. I modified wording, changed it to make it "sometimes" instead of "commonly". I took MARK's suggested wording, of parenthetical, etc, from the article Talk page. I looked for sources, and put better ones on the Talk page. I have gone out of my way to "compromise", big time. David flat-out lies when he says I haven't. The only one "clearly not interested in compromise" is David Eppstein, because if you see what I've done I'VE BENT OVER BACKWARDS to "compromise". David's idea of "compromise" is don't change or modify it at all, and leave it the way it was. I provided good refs that show that "perfect sphere" is used by people in the field. David is unbelievable in saying that I am not interested in compromise, when he and Strebe are the ones who show ownership and "I don't like" attitudes and actions all over the place with ZERO compromise or give or take. Forgive my bluntness but he's been uncivil in his uncool actions and dissings of sourced mods and edits. Also this was MARK'S compromise and suggestion, that I tried putting in (with sources) that get rudely removed regardless. This is what I wrote and proved in the article talk page....
You see the sources I put in the notice board? And I took the time and effort to make points and show proofs etc, making effort to discuss and make the case, and instead of appreciating any of that, David disses and belittles it and accuses me of "textwalling" putting a negative dishonest spin on everything. But look at what happened. That shows that the statement is justified and "sometimes used" by reliable sources, that David simply does not want in, regardless of sources. He'll find some excuse to diss or dismiss those valid sources anyway.. Showing NO compromise at all. I've tried. He's pot-kettle-black on this, big time.
I've done all I can to show compromise, from taking Mark's suggested wording. And then even changing that from "commonly used" to "sometimes used". Tell me. And then finding sources. One was not that good, so I got another one. And now I found two VERY good ones. Tell me. Where in any of that did I show "no compromise"?
But David keeps removing and reverting all the time, to bring it back to the original with no addition whatsoever. Tell me. Where is David showing any compromise with that? And he has the nerve to talk about "civility"? And "no compromise". That's why I made the blunt statement that I will be ignoring him, because he showed clearly that he has no real credibility on this (along with Strebe), but is blatantly dishonest on this, from start to finish. I have solid proof that I've showed BIG TIME "compromise". He said I showed none. (???) I have solid proof that David showed literally ZERO compromise. Yet he's making out like he's the cool collaborator and compromiser, when he'd been nothing of the kind. The proof is in the edits and in the talk page comments. Regards.

Hi,
Random but The Delta Air Lines wikipedia page looks like it has been hacked and is redirecting to a troll website. Can you assist or send this to someone who can? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FCC8:EDC2:4A00:31C5:4A37:197C:B1FF (talk) 07:12, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
