You may call me by my full screenname, "Caradhras" alone, or, rarely, "CA" and variants. Preferably not CA for obvious reasons, and definitely not "Aiguo". CaradhrasAiguo (talk) 03:42, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Messages I left on your talk page ought to be continued there, not transferred here.
If here because of an edit I reverted via Huggle (HG), it would behoove you to keep your message short. Anything longer than about 50 words, I am inclined to ignore. If you do not A) sign your post or B) make a new section for it, I WILL ignore it.
I am also aware of COVID-19 discretionary sanctions (DS)

Translation

I've been looking for someone to improve zh:多爾縣 (威斯康辛州). The county has a sister city relationship with zh:景德镇市 and they are in the process of erecting some sort of public artwork recognizing this in 景德镇市. In 2019 dozens of students came over on the Summer Work Travel Program. If you would like to translate more of it, I am willing to help you out by doing some other task in return on the English or Spanish wikipedias. For example, I could expand Changzheng, Shanghai--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 17:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I have a deadline to fulfil, I won't get to expanding the ZH version of Door County, Wisconsin today, tomorrow perhaps. Hoping there is little struggle in finding Chinese transliterations for some of the smaller place names. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 19:33, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a guide with tables and this site gives background into how Anglo place names have been rendered. Even if you botch a place name, Wisconsinites botched Algonquin place names a long time ago, and still are using the botched names today. Because of this, people from Wisconsin have no right to resent place name mistakes.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 03:42, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since have not yet named an article you for me to improve in return, I improved (or so I thought), 16 Chinese location articles that you have made 10 or more edits to. I also fixed bifurcated wikidata entries for two Chinese locations, so all the languages show up in the list to the left. If you have any preferences as to a particular article you want to see improved, let me know.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 15:54, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone changed the Door County article. Now the number of state parks is incorrect because one is omitted (there are six, not five like the article says). Here is a link to a version of the Door County article with correct information.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Door County article is in better shape now and is suitable for translating again.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 21:28, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

156.146.62.35?

Hi CaradhrasAiguo, regarding our previous discussion, I hope Special:Contributions/156.146.62.35 wasn't you? Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: Thank you for implicitly "AGF". No, I A) do not know how to operate a proxy; B) am still in the D.C. area, have never visited Switzerland, and will not until well after COVID-19 calms down. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 00:03, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries then! I hope the pandemic finally ends in 2021. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ToBeFree: If you grant permission here, I will email you...delving somewhat into my personal views which I do not wish to discuss publicly. It is neither a formal request to proxy edit nor to be unblocked. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 06:04, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CaradhrasAiguo, how could I say no to that? Of course, feel free to. I probably won't respond – at very least not in detail – but I am genuinely interested in these views, and it really can't hurt to receive them in a way that excludes any impression of seeking a public platform for them. It also really can't hurt to get an insight into the other side of blocks from time to time. For the same reason, some RfA voters want administrators to have experienced the deletion of their own articles at least once. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:30, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Setting the correct expectations, that's great! I kept the body of the message under 250 words, as well. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 15:41, 25 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why not try appealing?

It's been more than a year since you've been blocked. I guess it's just unfortunate to see you blocked indefinitely over an SPI investigation solely created via a personal vendetta from a user that hasn't even been active since March 2021, while you've contributed so much to Wikipedia over the years. You are after all not site banned per WP:3X. I'm sure if you tried the standard offer, there would be established users endorsing an unblock on your behalf. 125.241.36.57 (talk) 20:49, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have no way of knowing who you are, but thank you for your sympathy. I am content with editing on other projects, and while intend to return to the English version eventually, I will not set a specific time to write an appeal. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 22:38, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

impersonation

Yamla Check the edit history, the user making the request from earlier today isn't me. We don't know their intentions in forging my signature...

Checking WHOIS geolocation, the IP is in the UK (I was in the U.S. today), let alone getting the styling on my signature right... CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 01:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
