Question

I would like to make a bot which auto archives messages every month or so, how would I be able to do that, or could someone else do that for me? shane (talk) 01:30, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EditorShane3456 This is possible Help:Archiving_a_talk_page but I haven't done it, and I don't know how off hand to do it. Driftingdrifting (talk) 14:56, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Saletan

@Driftingdrifting I see you have removed death information from the infobox in the Tony Saletan article as possible vandalism, and I can see where you would suspect that. I have been a consistent editor on that article, adding many sources, and I know from the family that Tony died on August 26, 2025, in Tacoma after suffering for some years from Alzheimers. At this point there is not yet a reliable source, but there will be very soon as he is certainly an obituary-worthy subject. I have added the death information to the article and short description in anticipation of adding WP:RS asap, although I was not the one who tried to add it to the infobox. How can the correct information also be included in the infobox? PDGPA (talk) 14:40, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PDGPA unfortunately by waiting until there is a reputable source that publishes it. *maybe* in this case verified social media would be ok if there's been something mentioned there? I know its super frustrating, but we can't really use first hand information (like stuff you know from the family) because its not generally verifiable by other editors. If you knew the family/or subject, I'm sorry for your(their?) loss. Driftingdrifting (talk) 14:47, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Our friend is not letting it go

If you get any noticeboard notifications this and this is why. But since I'm the one doing the hatting, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Xan747 (talk) 18:34, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Xan747. Thanks for the head's up, I'll keep an eye out for it if it comes in, but do give me a ping if it does happen since I might not be automatically notified. They were talking about about starting an ANI 15 days ago and didn't, but I'm roughly zero percent worried here regardless, the talk page largely speaks for itself.

They were blocked for making legal threats. Xan747 (talk) 19:42, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it this morning, was in the process of drafting an ANI submission before MField beat me to it. I may try to clean it up a bit and do the same as you in attaching to the admin comment. I think there's a pretty clear case that the editor in question here wasn't operating in good faith or here to build an encyclopedia. We both gave them numerous opportunities to engage in the normal article building process, and to collaboratively edit and they chose to continue to escalate the accusations. Driftingdrifting (talk) 19:49, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Such a shame. I was genuinely willing to work with them on adding back reliably-sourced material. But now, meh. I also closed the article talk page discussion with a note the editor had been blocked for the threats so anyone else who chances by knows it's been dealt with. Xan747 (talk) 20:08, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Same. I've been down all along for us to reintroduce well sourced material, the page has potential if the sources can support it (and its due), but that wasn't the conversation they seemed to want to have. When I get some time, I'll try to get back into this article now that all the oxygen in the room isn't getting pulled into these meta discussions.

Declared COI review

Hi there, if you have a second could I get a trusted set of eyes on these diffs by the declared subject of the article? The article has some sourcing issues apart what the subject himself has added as well. I'm already going through it, but whatever you might have time to do is appreciated. Xan747 (talk) 21:51, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

sure, happy to take a look. Driftingdrifting (talk) 16:35, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
