Darling I can not find your email, can you please resend it? - FlightTime (open channel) 13:43, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@Darling:  Checking... - FlightTime (open channel) 15:27, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@Darling: There are no request under your old username or current name, I'm not sure what happened to your request (I'm not very active in this area) I suggest you open a new request under you current username (of course). I'll have to get with other ACC Admins and see if we are accepting new users, ping me after your new request and I'll try to resolve this either way. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 15:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

new request on the ACC interface or send in another email to the tool admins? I'm unable to send a request on the interface because of the original denial; the only thing I could do is send in another email, unless you're suggesting I make a new account on the interface, which I'm not sure I could do because this account is already linked to the other one through my old username.

A message from Partyclams

You removed actress Cassandra Peterson’s middle name from her Wikipedia page without explanation. Her middle name is Gay per her memoir, which is sourced. Please do not remove. Partyclams (talk) 00:56, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

A message from JeanPaulGRingault

Hi, why was my edit revoked ? Marty Walsh (musician) collaborated with Supertramp, as noted on his WP page, and Brad Cole has a page on French WP which the red link accesses...Wikipedia is a multilanguage site, celebrate it ! Regards @FlightTime: JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 15:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC) JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 15:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

JeanPaulGRingault I fixed it. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:39, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, but you really should not be allergic to interlanguage links. The page {{Interlanguage link|Brad Cole|fr|Brad Cole (musicien)}} exists, might make someone want to translate it. This removes info on the WP and that is not ideal. @FlightTime: JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 15:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

The link was broken and unlikely to be created. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

I do not want to labour the point, but a red link like this Brad Cole is not broken ! Click on the parentheses [fr] besides, and you will access the french page. The translate button will do the job for you to read it ! @FlightTime: JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 16:34, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Computing ref desk

Hi, does your Thank mean that something in the link I suggested actually worked, or are you just saying thank you for trying? If the former, could you say so on the ref desk with a {{resolved}}? Cheers, MinorProphet (talk) 17:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Not yet, but still working on it. Don't worry I know how and when to tag discussions. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

A message from ᑯᕆᐳᓐ

You reverted BOTH my edits, I can understand the danny bonaduce thing, that would have probably been somthing to add a source to (https://news.yahoo.com/danny-bonaduce-retiring-kzok-seattles-180608764.html), but did you really have to revert the austria hungary thing, all i did was put some info letting people know that the civil ensign is sometimes inncorrectly used as the civil flag. what gives man? What source am i supposed to add? The wayback Machine??? cause i will if that's what i need to do.

Reversal on All in the Family

Regarding your reversal here [1], I wasn't sure if the objection was just to my modifications [2] to the recent addition of LGBT [3], or if you objected to the LGBT addition overall. I don't intend to edit further on this count. Just a note to say that if you object to the addition as a whole, you would need to revert a little bit further. Cheers. _signed, Willondon (talk) 20:08, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Willondon I just think your concerns should be discussed first. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

OK, then. I wasn't comfortable with the recent addition of LGBT being added as a further description of the homosexuality dealt with, because the broader LGBT range of issues is a modern-day expansion of the homosexual issues that the show actually dealt with in the 70's. Not to say that the full LGBT community wasn't acknowledged back then, but the show dealt with the limited constituencies of homosexuals. I was more comfortable with including LGBT, because the show dealt with transvestitism, but not presented as an enhancement to homosexuality, which I think would be a retroactive expansion of topics the show actually dealt with. I wasn't sure whether you objected to the addition overall, or just my copyediting, and were happy with the original addition. These areas can definitely be a quagmire. We're probably both better off leaving it to see if any other editors have an insight. Thanks for the response. _signed, Willondon (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Willondon: I don't care either way, please discuss your concerns on the talk page, not here. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:41, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Norman Lear article photo

A better article photo should be used. Can we start a discussion 2604:3D09:6A85:6000:85CE:C8E4:F5C:EBC2 (talk) 01:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

You already started one and I thanked you for it. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:52, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

How do others get alerted to it?

Or will it sit there and no changes will be made? 2604:3D09:6A85:6000:85CE:C8E4:F5C:EBC2 (talk) 02:09, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

There are 223 page watchers on that page, many will see it, see WP:DISCUSSCONSENSUS, it will describe the consensus process. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:17, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

There has been such a robust discussion going on......

In the meantime that picture still is featured on the article. Not impressed. 2604:3D09:6A85:6000:5545:79A9:BD6F:67A4 (talk) 05:05, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

You've reverted twice now and have not explained why. Best regards. 84.239.45.11 (talk) 16:48, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm the editor you've been reverting and I too would appreciate an explanation. The material I've been attempting to add is reliably sourced and I'm unsure what your objection is because you won't tell me. Can you please respond? 156.57.11.183 (talk) 17:32, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

You're the one wanting to add new material, you take it the talk page. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 19:50, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Third party chiming in here... The stuff you want to add is excessive, unnecessary. Part of what makes a Wikipedia biography great is how accessible it is, with less fluff and more concision. Binksternet (talk) 19:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

By my count you're the fourth party. I'm sure you know it doesn't work that way; you don't get to decide for all of us what constitutes excessive and/or unnecessary and what doesn't. One editors "fluff" is valuable information to another. Let's see what a proper discussion brings. There is clearly no consensus here to justify reverting. 156.57.11.183 (talk) 23:02, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you Bink, 84.239.45.11 my rational is in the editsummary. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:46, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Look, I'm not trying to be someone to decide what goes and what stays, hence my request for you to start a discussion. If you're going to keep on with this shit, stay away from my talk. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:05, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

About the edit on Steve Clark

Sorry about the confusion with the edit on the page for Steve Clark--I had removed the section about him and Pete Willis not providing backing vocals because that was unsourced, as was the section on Phil Collen being the lead guitarist of Def Leppard (DL doesn't have lead or rhythm guitarists, as both guitarists alternate between lead and rhythm, as is mentioned on the page). Somehow, I forgot to include "Citation needed" in the description for my edit, though. When you re-added it, I was going to remove it and point out the lack of sources, but then you removed it again. So thanks and sorry about the confusion, I'll remember to include reasoning for my edits in the future! ~[thehappyspaceman] • talk • stalk • block 23:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

@DanTahHedgehog: I left the removal of the unsourced content, but I think the qualifier's "Lead" and "Rhythm" Should stay. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Rename guidance

@Bbb23 and C.Fred: I'm a new renamer, concerning the request from KaderRocket, I'm not positive about actioning it due to the recent block, would a rename be appropriate in this instance. Thanx in advance of any input. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 17:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm not a renamer, but from what I've seen, even currently blocked accounts can generally be renamed (I think there are some narrow exceptions). I wouldn't go by me, though.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:14, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

British English articles

Hi, it may be as well to note that in British English articles, those where the subject (like Led Zeppelin) is unquestionably British, we use the Britishism of placing the definite article before noun phrases far more than American English does. Thus "the English rock band Led Zeppelin" is correct, and indeed essentially mandatory, in BE, even if it's not what people might say in AE. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:19, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks I know about envarB and try to fix them, but this just sounds stupid to me. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:39, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Status

Hi there, FlightTime! I was wondering how the online status works, and I'd like to have one for me as well. And how do I make one? Is it automatic, or do I have to purge every time I go online? Thanks, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 22:08, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Wikiexplorationandhelping: Well, not too sure how it works, but I can set it up for you if you want. You do have to go to the status page to change the status every time you want to change. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:03, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

That'll be great! Please help set it up for me. It's a bit bummer that it isn't automatic, but I hope some coding in the future could be done to add it eventually. Cheers, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 03:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

 Done @Wikiexplorationandhelping: Let me know if you have any problems. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 21:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Coding help

@Xaosflux:

Hopping you can help with a link in my template. I'm trying to add a "Global rename" link to my user check template, I got it to display "the log, but couldn't get it to display my logs

If you have the time, I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 21:57, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@FlightTime theres a few ways to go about this, technically the 'rename' log here is the "local rename" log; the only place the actual global rename log exists is on the central wiki, metawiki. Do you just want the local rename log? — xaosflux ^Talk 23:27, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Besides some odd (and very old pre-SUL things) - the biggest difference is that the local rename log will not show a global rename of a user that isn't attached to enwiki. — xaosflux ^Talk 23:28, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Understood, I think the meta log would the best link. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@FlightTime check User:FlightTime/User check/sandbox and some test cases on the associated talk page. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Thanx, that will work. Happy new year! - FlightTime (open channel) 15:47, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

A message from BraveDude8

@FlightTime:

Re: the Gibson EDS-1275 page, the Gear4music guitar is inspired by the Gibson but not directly related to it, just like the listed Ibanez/Harley Benton models. Why was my edit reverted, if those two weren't also removed? The Harley Benton model in particular sits in direct competition to the Gear4music one I added, as a budget modern reproduction of the EDS-1275. BraveDude8 (talk) 13:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@BraveDude8: The best avenue in this type of situation is, open a discussion on the article talk page and see if editors who regularly watch that page think that Gear4music is notable enough to add to the article. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 14:03, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Italics

I see you've reverted my edit on Def Leppard's Hysteria - isn't Billboard supposed to be italicised? Geach (talk) 21:02, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Geach: I think the hashes go on the outside of the brackets, ''[[Foobar]]'' no need to pipe the link. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Doing it that way would also make the '200' of Billboard 200 italics though. But just looking at it again and comparing it with other good album articles there probably don't need to be links to the different charts in that section anyway as they're already linked to in the main charts section next to it - overlinking and all that. Geach (talk) 21:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Geach: Go with what you think, my concern was the piping anyway, what every you need to get it the way you like, if it's wrong, someone will catch it. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 22:23, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

FierakuiVërtet Rename

Hello FlightTime, according to central auth, there is no global account for HëRe!. The user was blocked in 2022 for sockpuppetry and has an SPI case page. So, I am not in favor of a rename without consultation with the blocking admin, but I am just asking if there is anything I am missing. :) – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

A message from GabesLovesPortland

GabesLovesPortland (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC) Hello, I'd like to apologize for how I've acted.

I realize I should have reached out instead of ignoring other editors.

I personally have strong opinions about pages I feel should be edited, and I am wanting to know if you are willing to work with me? I have no animosity, and would like things to cool down.

I also feel like, even when I have posted in the edit summary and cited sources in the past, my changes have been erased, so that led me to feel like engaging with other people on this site was not worth it. Not to excuse myself, but to explain where I was coming from.

I want to actually work with people, and see everything that needs to be cleared for a change I make to be accepted among most people on this site.

@GabesLovesPortland:, No problem. - FlightTime (open channel) 15:09, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

So I would like to make changes to, say, Pharrell Williams, to include his instrumentation and add genres that I feel he has made significant contributions to. What do I need to do beyond edit summary? What would you say would be agreeable? GabesLovesPortland (talk) 00:02, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

@GabesLovesPortland: Start a discussion on the article talk page and seek consensus, that's S.O.P. here. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

You said I didn’t have reference for my change in the ‘Moving Pictures’ post. I got an email from Terry Brown. That’s my source.

~~ Hello Vince - thank you for your e-mail, of course you are correct. It was one of the first albums to be mixed to a digital medium, but was recorded on 48track analogue using a Studer A800 and locked to an Otari to create a slave. If I remember correctly we mixed to a Sony PCM 1600 and since 1980 I have only mixed one album to an analogue tape machine :) ~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vrsound (talk • contribs) 01:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vrsound: Personal knowledge is not verifiable to our readers or editors and therefore not acceptable, even if you're an Expert. - FlightTime (open channel) 07:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Ah ok.

Now I understand why Wiki is so full of errors. It doesn’t matter if what you referenced is wrong as long as you can verify it. Vrsound (talk) 16:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

The article you referenced doesn’t say they recorded that album 48 track digitally. It says 48 tracks, and digital. Two very different things. You combined the two in the Wikipedia article which is incorrect. The 24 track digital multitrack wasn’t even a product when they recorded ‘Moving Pictures’

my comments from Terry Brown are correct Vrsound (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Vrsound: OK, so you should not be editing that article at all, you have a admitted conflict of interest. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Really?? What conflict of interest?

I only want your article to reflect the truth I had nothing to do with that album. I was 16 when it came out. Vrsound (talk) 17:28, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
