Silly?

[edit]

Re User_talk:Cabinetkey#August_2025 (where I replied but forgot to mention you), I'm pretty sure you Special:Diff/1303867797 misread the diff. I don't like undoing others reverts (in part because I'm a bit silly myself) so I'm flagging this to you here. Cabinetkey (she/her • ☎) 15:13, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously you are correct. Please accept my apologies! Cheers, Patrick 🐈‍⬛ (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The definition of words have meaning. EnlightenedIllusions (talk) 14:32, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The lead of an article is a summary of its body, all of which should be supported by WP:RELIABLE SOURCES. Except on niche or very low-traffic articles, you should always check in on the talk page to get consensus for changing the lead. Thanks, Patrick 🐈‍⬛ (talk) 14:35, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you can't comprehend the definition of words you shouldn't be editing anything. EnlightenedIllusions (talk) 14:37, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Don't talk to other editors like that. Engage with civility and an assumption of good faith or don't at all. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 14:38, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Although not well-enforced, WP:CIVILITY is a core Wikipedia policy. You're not hurting my feelings, but do be aware that these sorts of messages will put you at a disadvantage should you for some reason (pls. don't!) escalate a disagreement. Patrick 🐈‍⬛ (talk) 14:41, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FA review of Nihilism

[edit]

Hello Patrick, thanks for your in-depth GA review of Nihilism a while back. I was wondering whether you might be interested to comment at the FA review. It has been open for a while but, unfortunately, has not yet attracted much attention from reviewers. Please feel under no obligation if now is not a good time. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:53, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, sorry for the delay—and sorry you're not getting reviewers after so much work! Unfortunately I have a lot going on right now and can't spend as much time as I'd like to contributing here. Good luck! Patrick 🐈‍⬛ (talk) 00:47, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply, and no worries at all. Another review has been done in the meantime so I hope that the nomination will attract enough attention. Phlsph7 (talk) 21:56, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
