Thy, THY! ("Thy", "my darling")

Not "thou", as thou would/hast now, "brown cow". Verily, though, allusions are/or illusions; no matter, no mind. May the fours be with you! InedibleHulk (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk: Apologies for the bad Middle English.—Bagumba (talk) 01:48, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Not sure if I should apologize for this and that or not. I feel I should at least let you know it "got weird", if only for cross-reference purposes. And don't read too deeply into that Misfits song title, either; live long and prosper! InedibleHulk (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk: Is that a non-apology apology? Dōmo arigatō.—Bagumba (talk) 01:48, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Well, since you apologized, I'm bound by ancient Canadian custom to pay it back. Sorry. Might happen again. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:55, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk: Accepted. We can both learn from Springfield. —Bagumba (talk) 02:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Notice of reliable sources noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Fadeaway World. Thank you. Left guide (talk) 11:23, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Is Opta Analyst reliable?

Hey Bagumba, so I'm mulling over whether or not to send List of NBA rookie single-season rebounding leaders to AfD and doing a WP:BEFORE search. I stumbled upon this source by Opta Analyst. Never heard of the site before, is it reliable? And do you happen to have access to other sources that might satisfy WP:NLIST for this list? Left guide (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

@Left guide: New to me also. Doesn't seem to meet WP:USEBYOTHERS, esp. for basketball. I did find an advertorial on The Guardian here. As for the WP list, I'll see what Google can turn up. —Bagumba (talk) 02:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Sometime after I posted here, I realized that the bottom of the Opta Analyst site says it's owned by an AI site, so most likely unreliable. Might confirm that with the RSN folks before heading to AfD though. I noticed you tagging and working on the rookie scoring page, best I could find was this. Is it reliable? Was wondering if you might recognize the author name for an WP:EXPERTSPS exemption. Left guide (talk) 18:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

@Left guide: The reliable sources I could find are 100 Things Hoosiers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, 20 Second Timeout (total rebounds only, the author seems to meet USEBYOTHERS), The Oklahoman. Someone steadfast willing to wade through Newspapers.com might find more. I wouldn't have created it, but ...—Bagumba (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Likely shared/organizational username

Hey Bagumba, would you mind doing something about this account? They were warned on their talk page about the problematic username a year ago, but didn't respond, and have continued editing up to as recently as three days ago. I'm thinking a block may be necessary to get their attention. Left guide (talk) 02:19, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

@Left guide: Perhaps follow up with the admin that left that message. On the one hand, North Coast Football seems unrelated to their Amer football edits. Or try Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. I usually only deal with blatant vios when I see them. —Bagumba (talk) 04:28, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for those suggestions. I left a second follow-up warning, so maybe it would be best to give them one last chance to respond. If they don't, but continue editing, it would probably be a good idea to escalate the matter via one of your suggestions. Left guide (talk) 04:40, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Ah yes...

He's a former Canadian American football linebacker. Who knows if that is supposed to mean he's both Canadian and American, or just Canadian? There's no info anywhere in the article about his nationality. The infobox just says he was born in Ghana. Since he's a former Canadian, maybe he's a Ghanaian now? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
