Great article. What a ledge. Absolute mad lad. Thanks for telling me about him! jp×g 07:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JPxG! It was a fun one to write too. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG one of the most interesting stories I've read in a while. 145.224.103.232 (talk) 10:33, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on front page.

[edit]

Why does the subtitle of this featured article say "This mand diedddd" and how can it be fixed? Inmanmason (talk) 21:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some vandal included it much earlier today, but it was quickly reverted. Where are you still seeing it? - SchroCat (talk) 22:33, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SchroCat I was seeing it as a subtitle to the featured article on my Explore page but it's not visable anymore. Thanks! Inmanmason (talk) 04:09, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained edits

[edit]

The following was left on my talk page by Inthefirstplace:

If you would not delete this talk page section, I think we could agree. You say you're welcome to being critiqued. On this page you use words like friendly. The trio of you are utilizing BRD but you're also wrong. There is not a reason to have the maths on the page. The word choices are similarly erroneous. The court section is not right.Inthefirstplace (talk) 11:42, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inthefirstplace, if you could state exactly what you think is wrong and why, we can have a discussion about it rather than the slow-burn edit war you are having with three different editors. - SchroCat (talk) 11:50, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the same:
It would seem that you are misunderstanding syntax and math. It is not better.Inthefirstplace (talk) 11:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I assume by "math" he or she means the "132" bit, but even so. It's a prose dispute, not a mathematical one. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 11:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is much wrong with this page. The way you describe the court appearances. It is established that British English is used.Inthefirstplace (talk) 12:08, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I have asked above: could state exactly what you think is wrong and why. - SchroCat (talk) 12:11, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
