Hi Knitsey, please keep WP:3RR in mind. Thanks ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I wasn't sure if it was vandalism, but yeah, I should have taken it to the noticeboard.

I assumed creating a one sentence article from a re-direct was a no-no. Knitsey (talk) 20:52, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Greetings and...

Hey up! Tea (tee) up? Got yer kettle on the boil? I'm down to my last 20 tea bags... and no Royal Marines in sight! Any suggestion? Breathe deeply? Om... Technopat (talk) 21:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Problem, no tea, u r ded 😄 Knitsey (talk) 21:18, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Nope! Sorry, but u ain't gonna write me off so easily... Been there, seen it an' done it... (Never underestimate the enemy...) And when push comes to shove, am even capable of recycling teabags (once one has to resort to teabags, anything goes...). Talking hardcore here... Want me to mention the B-word again? --Technopat (talk) 21:33, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Am I allowed to suggest 'advance coitus you'. Don't you bring the B word to my table! Knitsey (talk) 21:43, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Wow! Them's fighting words! Didn't expect 'em from such a quarter... Yer persona led me off on a wild goose chase... (That there tea cosy you insinuated really led me astray...) From now on, will be on me guard... --Technopat (talk) 21:55, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Want me to send you some T-bags out? I've heard Netto do a bag of 1,000 for £2.75. Knitsey (talk) 22:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Sounds amazing! 'Ang on... is that there "1,000 for £2.75." some sorta (pyramid?) scam to catch us poor expats off our their guard? That's what I pay for 80... BTW, hope this T-banter hasn't distracted you too much from all the stalking I've just seen... I realise it's par for the course, but don't let 'em get to you! Best... --Technopat (talk) 22:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

It's par for the course with vandalism.

I can't guarantee there will be much, if any, tea in the t-bags. More like tea flavoured dust. Knitsey (talk) 22:18, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Never thought I'd ever get round to using this, but LOL! (Literally the first time I've ever had occasion to use that one...) Thnx! --Technopat (talk) 22:24, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I mean, you did leave Gawds own county. I don't feel a huge surge of sympathy. Knitsey (talk) 22:28, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, right... What a googly! Nothing like resorting to guilt-tripping on tea issues... Definitely below the belt! Talk about passive-aggressive behaviour! Am obviously at a disadvantage here, so need a time out (that's a tea-break for you poor, hidebound Brits). Allow me to appeal to all those (pre-Brexit?) historic ideals of fair play, Laws of Cricket, Britishness. Any chance of a level playing field? Nice cuppa? --Technopat (talk) 22:51, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Cricket! My Grandad used to take me to watch cricket at Headinley when I was little. Every time I hear/see anything to do with Yorkshire cricket, it reminds me of him. Nice memories. He always had a hip flask and always bought me a cuppa. I didn't like tea then, but I always drank it as it was usually cold. Knitsey (talk) 23:04, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Headingley! What a privilege! So that explains that Yorkshire lass tea angle. Here's to yer Grandad! (We poor toffs had to make do with The Oval and, on one memorable occasion, a visit to Lord's.) Now that I think of it, the hip flask you refer to, as opposed to a Thermos flask, obviously didn't contain tea... And don't forget you're dealing with someone old enough to know the difference 'twixt Tetley's Brewery and Tetley... --Technopat (talk) 23:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh my, the dray horses at Teley Brewery. I LOVED seeing them. I think they used them right up to closing? Knitsey (talk) 23:33, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh MY! Now we're really getting down to brass tacks (not monkeys..., yet)! While I'm dismayed to see that the Yanks got in there first (here at Wp) with Draft horse —"two countries separated by a common language"—still remember the magnificent Young's and Fuller's drays. And while I still remember, vividly, "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)", can't say that I ever saw any horse-drawn milk cart... Ours were all posh electric floats. The local rag-and-bone man, certainly, and Steptoe and Son in b&w, of course... Oh! "England Your England"... Right! Enough of that! This is getting soppy silly... --Technopat (talk) 00:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

I've been looking at old photos of Leeds. The dray horses were beautiful. You're even older than me! Bed for me.

The subject next time is flat caps and whippets. Knitsey (talk) 00:14, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Jeez! Waaaay past me bedtime... up in 4 hours. Not quite crack o' dawn, but near as dammit! Meanwhile, the mice will play... and I'll be dreaming that I saw Gary Sobers hit them there six sixes and that I've got enough tea to last me 'til the end of the week! --Technopat (talk) 00:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Playing fast and loose...

Hey up! Am shocked to see you's gone over to The Dark Side... An' here you had me believing you was a pukka cricket fan. No longer playing The Game? Is it all over? Rain stopped play? Googlies no longer mean anything to you? Sigh! Technopat (talk) 11:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

If I could be bothered, I would actually watch some baseball, or rounders as it should be called. It was the only game (that girls were allowed to play) at school that I really enjoyed.

When I was in sixth form they eventually let girls play cricket. Knitsey (talk) 11:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Ah! Those were the days! Tennis-ball rounders... (I once smashed a classroom window... dead centre, perfect circle! (Smashed Pane stopped play...). So perfect that the whole school admired it (and me). Never got any academic recognition, but that pane was the highlight of my school years... the kids were talking about it for days! That and the fact that I din't get into trouble for it!) BTW, our mixed primary school was cool; boys got to play netball! (Didn't have new-fangled inventions like basketball in them days.) Re yer sixth form, batters in skirts? Blue-stockinged lbws? The mind boggles... --Technopat (talk) 11:36, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

We still didn't have a girls football team by the time I left. The Catholic school I attended was mixed but was quite traditional. We used to play footy at break times but it wasn't included in the curriculum. Things have moved on fortunately.

The only thing I destroyed at school was my glasses. Awful NHS glasses that I used to get bullied about. I 'accidentally' left them on the school field when it was grass cutting day. My mum was fuming. Knitsey (talk) 11:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh! Those happy "accidents"! One of many minor successes of which I'm also especially proud was managing to break, one by one, the six horrendous green wine glasses (with black stems!) my mother-in-law gave us as a wedding gift. She got her own back by passing away on my birthday... --Technopat (talk) 13:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I mean, those wine glasses sound fugly. And selfish or what! Knitsey (talk) 15:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Fugly? Wow! Not part of my lexis... until now. Thnx for that! Will incorporate it asap. I take it that the etymology is "effing ugly", but popular etymology, as an extreme sport, is very risky... Re selfishness, nah! pretty much par for the course as far as mother-in-laws go :) (Oops! Are you one of those? I'm still suffering from the fallout from when I accused my wife of being "just like your mother"! Only once; never again...). --Technopat (talk) 16:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

How the heck did you get to your age without knowing you never, NEVER compare your wife to their mother. Or your mother come to that. I hope she made you pay for a long, long time. Knitsey (talk) 17:04, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

So now you're playing the age card? Re my "I'm still suffering...". C'mon, you know, better than wot I does, us men are but mere ciphers, simply noble and naive pawns in this game. And before you write me off as a wimp, I'd just like to point out, in passing, that I used to be pretty street-wise (Ol' Lunnon Town), trained with special forces (we all have a past...) and have developed a thick skin and a pretty high pain threshold. Of course, none of that prepared me for life in the real world... let alone a mother-in-law. Whole new ballgame. No rules... anything goes. It's been a long and winding learning curve to finally get to start internalising Ol' Father Aesop's teachings. --Technopat (talk) 10:38, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Special forces, pfft. They crumble just at the mention of mother-in-law.

When I was 20 or 21, I went on holiday to Greece with a boyfriend. His parents were already out there on holiday. When we got there, his mum took all our money from us both for 'safe keeping'. We had to ask if we wanted to spend some money. She was so controlling. We broke up about 2 weeks after we got back. Knitsey (talk) 11:36, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Best Western GB

hello ! if you don't mind could you check over my reasonings for adding that link, also I can't find any where where the original editor found citations for the business model part of the page, I am unsure whether to leave it uncited or add info on best western's non profit and the fact it's members vote on changes to the company, any advice would be helpful ! Tomatoketchupmustard (talk) 12:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I read the section you're refering to a couple of times after removing the link. I'm just about to go out for a bit but I will come back to this if you can wait for a while? Alternatively, if you're short on time I can recommend asking the question at the Teahouse [1] Knitsey (talk) 13:04, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

take all the time you need no rush ! thank you for replying ! Tomatoketchupmustard (talk) 13:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I've replied to your message on the article talk page. I didn't fully understand that you meant it was potential copyright from the website. Good spot. I've deleted that paragraph. Thank you for that, well done for finding it. Knitsey (talk) 15:12, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I would like to give you the highest honor I can bestow.

	A Diamond for you!
	Omg.. that was extremely annoying and inappropriate.. Anyways, I am honoring you this for helping me revert all of that vandal's constant nonsense. Many Thanks! ♥ 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 15:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I'm just sorry it took a while to get rid of them. It goes like that sometimes. Thank you (and Tails) for reverting their vandalism. Knitsey (talk) 15:55, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I also thanked Tails for the support. It took a while but no worries, user is blocked for good in the end. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 15:59, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Amapiano origin

To whom it may concern. I have come to a discovery by error. The famous logdrum used on Amapiano genre seems to jabe been used by Mdu Masilela on a song Oksalayo Siyajola. I uploaded this song while testing the stem separation with the new Fl studio update beta. So I managed to isolate drums, bass and vocals. To my surprise I discovered that a logdrum sound was used on this in the 1990's. There's also a free software called spitter that can be able to do this for those who might want to test my theory. However, there is sidechain that was used to remove the click on the logdrum when a kick and bass are playing together. Because in Kwaito music, a kick needed to be the louder and clearer sound. So the logdrum can be heard clearly when the kick mutes. I will like to hear the feedback from similar curious minds. Maybe this is nothing. But I work with music so I am familiar with Amapiano genre. Reverse Psycho (talk) 11:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm afraid I've no idea what you're talking about...but happy editing! Knitsey (talk) 12:55, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

"Double Entries"

I added two entries to St. Francis de Sales because they are two separate entities with two separate web pages. One is a Parish, the other is a school. GHanny5783 (talk) 00:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

@GHanny5783 my apologies, I didn't read it correctly. I've restored that edit now. Sorry about that and thanks for reaching out, Knitsey (talk) 08:08, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Falafel! Lovely, I would eat that in about 2 bites. You're welcome, I have lots of anti-vandal editors on my watch list as we sometimes end up being targeted. Knitsey (talk) 17:22, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey there! Nothing important. Just testing how a subject-less comment looks on someone's page. Feel free to remove it. Or leave it. Or reply. Or ignore. Or....I'm running out of options here. Joyous! Noise! 02:43, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Cambridge International School

Hello You have queried some changes I have tried to make to this page. Please check out the website and you can see what I am recording is correct and that the school has not closed. It has a different Unique School Number than the one incorrectly posted on the wikipedia page. If you visit https//get-information-schools.service.gov.uk you will see the school is open and is at Cherry Hinton Hall. It is for children aged 2-11. The confusion is that the senior school for children aged 11-16 has closed. The Unique number you need for the establishment is 146301 and the DFE number is 873/6056/Previous owners had changed the registration information but they are no longer involved in the school. I would like to continue to update the page as it is factually incorrect. I also need the address to change as it is Cherry Hinton Hall, Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, CB1 8DW. I would be grateful for your help if you can do so as it is not helpful to anyone to have inaccurate information. Thank you Apu1eius (talk) 21:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic..... Hi Knitsey, you removed my update about Novak Djokovic. It is all absolutely factual and has been admitted to on various Tennis shows. I don't think that 'athletes' should be protected from the truth being written about them, particularly when they have admitted to it but then perhaps in retrospect have regretted that admission amd not continued to repeat it — In response to signed comment added by Knitsey (talk • contribs) 20:11, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply] Silopsone (talk) 21:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

@Silopsone: You changed the name on the article for Grigor Dimitrov to Novak Djokovic. Knitsey (talk) 22:02, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, as I said his name is Novak Djokovic and it is absolutely factual. It has been admitted to on various Tennis shows. If he is interested in pretending his name is not Novak Djokovic then I think he should not receive protection just because he is an "athlete".

For example, see this tweet from 2018: https://twitter.com/ASICSamerica/status/967074019001253888 Silopsone (talk) 22:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

You've lost me. Are you saying you think that they are the same person? Knitsey (talk) 22:18, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Novak Djokovic and Grigor Dimitrov? No, of course they are not the same person! They are two different tennis players.

But if Novak Djokovic has admitted that he is Novak Djokovic but then perhaps in retrospect regrets that admission amd not continued to repeat it then I do not believe he should be protected for any reason. Silopsone (talk) 22:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, ok, you're jerking me around. If you vandalise Wikipedia again the chances are you will be blocked. Knitsey (talk) 22:32, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

So, I get that you and many wikipedia people are against "vandals" but two things:

(1) What's to stop me from simply creating another account and doing the same sort of thing?

(2) Maybe it's not the most clever joke but the reason I changed Dimitrov's name to Djokovic was because I was trying to tell my friend that Djokovic was 32 and by changing Dimitrov's page I was able to get the information that shows up immediately on a google search to say that Djokovic was 32 to create some "evidence" as a joke, it's not like my friend didn't know Djokovic's age.

Why is that sort of joke such a big deal? Seems pretty different from vandalizing in order to purposely mislead. Silopsone (talk) 22:56, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

And blocked. Knitsey (talk) 23:00, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

No problem and you caught most of it. I do usually leave vandalism at AIV just so that there is no doubt they are vandals, although most people revert. I reverted as AIV is backlogged so ot might be a while before anyone gets to it. I'm glad I've come across someone else that usually leaves it for blocking admins!

Please hold off on any more edits etc at this article. I am in the middle of compiling a talk page message to all the editors concerned (including the apparent instructor). Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 16:39, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Shearonink: Ah ok, thank you. I did see your help on the editors talk page earlier. Do you know if this is an official Wikipedia course? There looks to be a few editors involved so I wasn't sure where to go next. I will leave it for now as you seem to know what's going on.

I did say on one of the talk pages about not wanting to see them fail and if they needed none help etc. Knitsey (talk) 16:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I saw your offer of help wherever it was yes. I don't want one of these student editors to get blocked if they revert again etc. because of WP:3RR. It appears to be a university course connected to Smirkybec. I'm pinging everyone concerned to the article talk page. The copyvios are serious + the deletion of sourced content + the WP:PUFFERY language (which ties in to the copyvios) + the not using sources when the content is obviously SOURCED, etc. *sigh*... Shearonink (talk) 16:49, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

OK, thank you. I will leave it for now and see what happens on the talk page. Thank you so much for trying to sort it all out. Knitsey (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Haven't seen any action from anyone connected with the article since the 27th (JamieMcLoughlin on the article talk page, Danni Molloy on the article itself). I"ve been watching the article/article talk & the students user talk. I wonder if we'll ever know if they passed the course... Shearonink (talk) 15:35, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I keep having a look as replies might get lost on my watchlist but yes, nothing. I'm a lottle disapointed. I know we shouldn't write it for them of course, but I thought a little help with formatting or referencing might help.

I do think they've chosen a difficult subject to expand. A female artist from that era that isn't as notable as some (mostly male) artists etc.

I'm in for surgery for a few days from tomorrow, but after I'm up and about again I might use it for a little project. My referencing is mostly for modern subjects that are much easier to source. I might pop to Bristol library as their referencing section is quite good. Knitsey (talk) 15:43, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Britain First Edits Removal

Hello Knitsey. I recently made some edits to the Britain First Wikipedia page regarding misinformation about the party status & ideology. I removed references to them being fascist as they themselves do not call themselves fascists & neither does official party material. The sources calling them fascists are opinion pieces & should not be used to justify removal of sensible edits. It is critically important to keep bias & misinformation out of politics & while Britain First has many questionable views, we must still represent them fairly. RuleBritannia1879 (talk) 16:01, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@RuleBritannia1879: Hello there, thanks for reaching out. I see you've had another edit reverted.

Wikipedia relies, for the most part, on what independent people write about a subject. There are a few exceptions to this.

In this case, Wikipedia relies on what WP:RS say about a subject, not what they say about themselves. For instance, when editing about something that the current government is involved in, Wikipedia uses reliable sources to assess how that information is presented, in a neutral way.

The Britian First article has plenty of references backing up what is written in the article. I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions about that specific article then please use the article talk page to address those issues. Happy editing, Knitsey (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Parineti Hindi Tv

1. I am Angry 😡 Because I cannot Sleep Peacefully when is Dumb Tv Director going To tell Sanju & Dumb Neeti to Realise that DNA will Prove that Parvathi is Babli’s Sister Pari?

2. I 😡 Want Pari to Realise that Sanju never Tried To kill Pari?

3. 😡 How did Sanju forget that He saw Mole proving that Parvathi is Pari etc?(49.205.117.20 (talk) 13:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)).

It's a terrible situation. Directors who apparently don't know how to direct. Eastenders has gone to hell in a handbasket.

In all seriousness ip, this isn't a question for the reference desk. You might try and find a forum that can help you outside of Wikipedia. Good luck.

(I watched half of the first episode of Eastenders. I've no idea about hell or handbaskets) Knitsey (talk) 14:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

You know What I can’t do:

I 😡 cannot Sleep without Thinking why Government is Allowing Indian Director not To give Common Sense to Sanju & Neeti to Realise that DNA is Last Dam Option shit Etc?(49.205.117.20 (talk) 14:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)).

Sorry, Wikipedia can't help you with this. That is why your edits have been reverted by myself and other editors. It would probably help if you dropped the language and emoji's. I'm sure there must be a fan forum somewhere, or try Reddit?

Please do not repost the questions you have here, or at the reference desk. Knitsey (talk) 14:38, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
