I might've have made a mistake

I have edit on Zoom and Bored (1957), I never realized it had to be shorter until I see the history of the article. Is it overly explaining the plot or is it okay? 50.91.26.176 (talk) 06:16, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the fact that it's completely unsourced, I have no objections, but it's not a subject on which I have strong opinions. Favonian (talk) 07:51, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi Favonian. Would you mind taking a look at look at this? This is probably the same person as here and here. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:46, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely! Favonian (talk) 08:49, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for checking on that. Unfortunately, it seems you ended up having to deal with more than one account. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:25, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hobby socking

Hello, hope you are doing well. I smell a WP:DUCK evasion on Talk:Hobby. It's had a spat of Portugese writing socks in the recent few months, and today's editor shares similarities. Would you have a look and see if the behavior/similarities is enough for a sockblock?

To be clear, I think Donald Duck Trump 2 is List of Hobbyes (who you blocked in Sept), Jailson Lula, and was 177.73.7.196. Similarities: Writing in Portugese, Verbose, long lists with no obvious connection to Hobby, frequent small edits. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 05:06, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zinnober9: Definitely the same and gone the way of its predecessors. Favonian (talk) 09:30, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for checking and zapping. Zinnober9 (talk) 13:24, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zinnober9: Did some more digging and zapping. This user is an LTA from the Portuguese Wikipedia, and several of their socks have migrated to our side of the fence: Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Horticultordeplantas. Favonian (talk) 17:17, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know. Hopefully they don't linger here. Zinnober9 (talk) 20:01, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That was a close one.....

Hey, thanks for taking care of that LTA while I was (literally) cleaning up my own mess. I managed to spill about half a glass full of juice on the desk, sending liquid careening toward the edge and onto brand new carpet. I ran to the kitchen, ripped off a bunch of paper towels as fast as I could, and managed to run back and scoop the liquid juuuust as it was going down the edge of the desk. If I had been one second slower, it would've stained the carpet... and I would've been an absolute dead man! My sister in law would've cooked me over the stove for dinner if I had ruined her carpet. Whew... alrighty then. That... was way too close for comfort! Anyways, I appreciate your diligence and your commitment to the project! As always, it's great to talk to you. :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 20:19, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah, I think that qualifies you for Ninja training. --Kansas Bear (talk) 21:58, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and thanx for the LMAO
