I don't think they want to block him, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He's about to be blocked. I tried to report him, but someone else already did it. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GONE BABY!! Now that was awesome!!!! Bringingthewood (talk) 05:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He should have been reported yesterday. I was just praying that this 2007 Dell wouldn't freeze up on me. Glad you got to see the movie! :):):) Thanks for trying to get that report in. I almost deleted the good messages with the bad, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 05:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I recognized you

I just noticed that you're the same Bringingthewood from Answers.com. I was a supervisor on there as well. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:46, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TornadoLGS Wow. I would say it's a small world, but this is a big place, lol. You've been here for quite a long time I see. I always wondered if someone would drop by one day. Were we doing that at the same time? You may have used a different username, I only remember some that I was in constant contact with. Bringingthewood (talk) 02:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we were. I remember you from the forum at the very least. I went by Stormish on that site. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:00, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TornadoLGS I'll be a .. I looked at your name and user page and tried to think - storm related weather -. I do remember your name! You had to get a WikiAnniversary or two from me over the years. I do miss the trash can icon ... a lot easier to get rid of a vandal back then. I appreciate you dropping me a line. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy

I've never seen someone take this long to get blocked before, lol. They were reported at WP:AIV 30 minutes ago. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 06:37, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9 I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they want to see if all of our new names were used up. I'll take knucklehead and numbskull .. but you're keeping porcupine!! Bringingthewood (talk) 06:43, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood and @WikiOriginal-9 thank you both for helping with that LTA, I’m a little surprised they lasted 40 minutes spamming those edits, but I appreciate you both helping to revert all of those as well (I’m also sorry for pinging you both).

Right back at you, PC97. No apology needed ... it was fun while it lasted. I was looking at the names he was giving us .. and started to slow down, lol. Maybe we'll catch up again. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 06:58, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Civility

You were asking at ANI for the rule applicable to others. See WP:REMOVEUNCIVIL: In the event of rudeness or incivility on the part of another editor, it may be appropriate to discuss the offending words with that editor, and to request that editor to change that specific wording. Some care is necessary, however, so as not to further inflame the situation. It is not normally appropriate to edit or remove another editor's comment. Exceptions include to remove obvious trolling or vandalism, or if the comment is on your own user talk page. Derogatory comments about another contributor may be removed by any editor. Thanks for carrying the stick. —Bagumba (talk) 04:06, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jayden Daniels FAN

I haven't devoted as much free time to Wiki lately, but I still plan on renominating Jayden Daniels' article for FA soon (this weekend hopefully) in case you were wondering. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:11, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've renominated it here. Any further comments if possible would be welcome. — Dissident93 ^(talk) 17:18, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

A few days off needed.

I saw this: https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-editors-attempted-delete-charlotte-murder-article-removed-suspects-name-from-entry-report earlier today and I still can't let it go. I'd rather not make things miserable for some people. Believe me, I do know the way this site leans .. but really?

The Charlotte mayor should be happy ... because if I was on that train, I'd make Daniel Penny look like a fucking altar boy. See you later. Bringingthewood (talk) 03:35, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a few more days! R.I.P. -- Charlie Kirk. Sleep well, you fucking assholes! P.S. Thank God I have a few good friends here, or you might have to make a page for me. Bringingthewood (talk) 20:53, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hunting

If you really dislike redlinks, you have to create a redirect with syntax: #redirect [[somewhere else]]

{{R with possibilities}} So that when someone bothers to write driven hunt, your article will be good to point to it properly.

Wikipipes of unexpected type are called WP:EASTEREGG and discouraged. --Altenmann >talk 00:50, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Altenmann I know what you mean. I have nothing against redlinks at all. I was pretty sure I explained my thought process in the hunting revision history, that it wasn't a delete and run. I knew about the red grouse and wanted to get that there. Thinking that might have covered the redlink and a new page being created for driven hunt. You can check my history, I do not delete redlinks for the hell of it. Hope we're on easy street from here on out. I do appreciate your interest regarding that page. Regards, Bringingthewood (talk) 01:00, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didnt mean that you had some evil intentions. I have no idea of your experience, so I explained, just in case. And I did squeeze the red grouse in. Yes, we are good. BTW, my interest is accidental; I just wanted to provide a correct translation and interpretation in Fire Hunt with Beaters remembered from my youth and noticed that there is no word in wp. So I wrote up Beater (hunting), but let somebody else to drive the hunt and even left some mess in Beater (hunting), because different countries have differet fun with beaters, especially Germans, who have THREE! differenrt artciecle on the subject, and most definitely I aint no Jagdmann/Jaeger to ttranslate them correctly. So collecting them all plus your fav red fowl, may make a pretty good international page, driven hunting. --Altenmann >talk 02:05, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Altenmann Lol, that'll teach me, I just checked the history because I remembered your name. You added driven hunt under Methods on 3/1/2025. As long as you believe there was nothing evil, definitely not. Thank you for the red grouse squeeze. I guess when I saw 'encouraged by beaters' on the grouse page, I thought it was a good thing. Live and learn. Ha, that's when I should have stayed away .. when I saw it wasn't the U.S. At least we finally got to swap messages. You have my word that the 'REDLINKS' will remain there. P.S. Accidental or not, it's always appreciated. :) Bringingthewood (talk) 02:22, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ed White

Was going to joke that it's your conspiracy to rack up edits, but you weren't the one who unlinked it before.[4] —Bagumba (talk) 04:31, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba Lol, I was hoping my remark would bring you to that part of the history. No rack up here, at least not purposely. I'm still paying for my link removal sins. Most of my college fixes now are for not seeing the 'football team' link earlier. Example: C. J. Hanson. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:43, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My pet peeve is something like Hanson at [[Holy Cross Crusaders football|Holy Cross]] ... a football program is not an "at <location>" (though I'm paying more attention to the lead's prose, not caption) —Bagumba (talk) 05:38, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba I thought that way originally, that's why I was going with the University etc. Then I saw about two dozen with the football program. Not an "at", I agree. Maybe I should leave the program links to "with the", being that I don't pay too much attention. :/ Bringingthewood (talk) 05:53, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What you did at Hanson was fine. So "with the" in the lead/infobox, and maybe "at" in the body to introduce the actual school e.g. "at ~~Holy Cross University~~College of the Holy Cross ". —Bagumba (talk) 05:58, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba I felt good there for a second, but 'body' and 'introducing' .. not good for me to tinker with that. I'm all for staying with the NFL. Hell, I've never even watched a whole college game .. someone else can do that stuff, lol. P.S. The last time I watched a whole quarter, "Hail Flutie", need I say more? Bringingthewood (talk) 06:11, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Friday after Thanksgiving! Now there's too many televised games to have any distinct memories. 'Nuf "back in my day" stories lol. —Bagumba (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bagumba I hear that. Saturday has a bigger television schedule than NFL Sunday! Yeah, I just depressed myself by checking out the year of that game. Time for sleep .. we'll speak again soon. Enjoy the rest of your week! John. Bringingthewood (talk) 06:37, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think Bagumba was that old (no offense, lol). ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:32, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
