Was or were?

Hello GoodDay. Your edits where you changed "was" to "were" are incorrect. See this talk. Thanks, Maiō T. (talk) 19:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I see. GoodDay (talk) 19:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

use of quotation marks

Hi - I don't think we've ever interacted before, but I saw your appeal at WP:AE, and your use of single quotation marks in this comment around the words "wrong" and "pronoun" made me raise an eyebrow, to say the least. I see from this talkpage you use these quotation marks relatively frequently, so I'm hoping that you don't mean anything by it, but this looks uncomfortably close to scare quotes. Given that one of the reasons for the TBAN you are appealing was for misgendering an editor, can I suggest you be careful not to give this impression in future? Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:49, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

They're neither quotation marks or scare quotes. But, I'll make the effort to not use them, in future. GoodDay (talk) 21:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

AE appeal

Per the result of your appeal at AE ([1]), the topic ban from the GENSEX topic area which applied to you is lifted. Please use appropriate care when you return to editing in this area. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 04:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Appreciated & indeed I will. GoodDay (talk) 04:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

@The Kip: you may have to rescind that barnstar, as it might be seen as an attack on another editor. GoodDay (talk) 00:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I’ll do so, just figured I’d let you know your efforts are appreciated. The Kip 00:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I am curious, though - at what point does the consistent end-arounding of RMs and disregard of consensus/lack thereof become something we can take to ANI? The Kip 02:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

WP:HOCKEY's reaction (unless views have changed in the last twelve months) to the unilateral page moves, may give an answer. GoodDay (talk) 02:53, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

There’s also quite a lot of textual backup that this has been a long term behavioral problem. There’s a lot more beyond just this one; he’s had a long track record of disruptive editing resulting in warnings, but never quite to the extent of a ban as it’s never been framed as a long term problem. My only concern with the WP:HOCKEY discussion is that there may be certain users who don’t contribute to the project or in the project area that will dominate the discussion/RM because “sports editors dumb,” as per what happened at the NFL RfC. The Kip 02:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

It's not in my nature to report any editor to WP:ANI, of whom I've been involved with in content disputes. Is Dicklyon continuing to be disruptive in the area of page moving? I'll leave that judgement in the hands of the community. GoodDay (talk) 03:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Understandable. If any RMs go against him and he attempts to go ahead with pagemoves anyways, I’ll try to build a case. The Kip 03:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Cornwall confusion

Howdy @Sirfurboy and A.D.Hope:, is it possible to have the RFC & the WikiProject discussion merged some way? It rather confusing, to have both going on concurrently. GoodDay (talk) 23:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I have not started an RfC at this point. The Wikiproject discussion is exploring how an RfC might look that rationalises what is currently a very selective guideline change (i.e to English extant ceremonial counties only). As per my answer to you on the RfC, this is incongruous, as we are talking about removing a flag from Cornwall on the basis of that guideline whilst retaining flags on other county articles, such as Yorkshire and Sussex simply because those counties no longer exist. I expect Cornwall will retain its flag per this RfC in any case. Then the RfC question I would start would seek to adjust the situation as appropriate. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 00:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Either we remove all flags or we add all flags. GoodDay (talk) 00:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Infobox purpose

Thanks for contributing, but I'm not sure neutral is a valid option which is why I didn't have it listed. It's a policy question. Those links are either allowed or prohibited. That's the root of the question. Nemov (talk) 04:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

@Nemov: - I don't have preference for either version. I'll let ya'll work it out among yourselves. You may collapse/box my 'vote', if you wish.GoodDay (talk) 04:54, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

NHL history split

Everyone, including me is agreeable to split the history of the NHL from 1992–present to 1992–2017 and 2017–present. Are you ready to split? Please. 2601:40A:8400:2250:AC49:775D:29D6:8498 (talk) 21:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Honors for Military Officers

I was looking at George C. Marshall's Wikipedia page, but I noticed that his honors like OBE was removed, which then I checked that it was you that removed, and I was wondering when the official change that they were no longer being placed happened? NewDealChief (talk) 01:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@NewDealChief: Difficult to remember when/where. But I do know a consensus was reached, to not add military ranks or honors to American bios. GoodDay (talk) 02:09, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for learning (even if the hard way) how to help maintain the listings at the top of WT:MOSCAPS. Dicklyon (talk) 05:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: having studied the last few RM results on NHL related pages. I suspect there'll be little opposition this time around, at NHL Entry Draft & related pages. Not certain though, about Stanley Cup Finals & related pages. GoodDay (talk) 10:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Hard to guess. I'm surprised some of the obscure drafts didn't go through more easily (the ones that are relisted). Dicklyon (talk) 10:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

It's a head scratcher. GoodDay (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: I made a neutral statement at the CFL Draft multi-RM. As I'm sorta one, who gets followed around. It might bring more input to the RM-in-question. GoodDay (talk) 22:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Update request

Hello, GoodDay.

Can you update Template:44th Canada HoC standings change?

Daniel Blaikie resigned on 31 March 2024 as Member of Parliament and the number of NDP members fell to 24.

Thank you in advance. 31.200.16.28 (talk) 01:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@31.200.16.28: I'll try. GoodDay (talk) 01:14, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the update. 31.200.16.28 (talk) 01:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

No prob. GoodDay (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Link change

I don't understand what you are trying to do by changing from vice president to vice president in Millard Fillmore, Richard Nixon, etc. The original links to Vice President of the United States which is the actual page, and your modified version links to vice president of the United States, which is then redirected to Vice President of the United States anyway. Is there any particular reason to make this change? - Ttwaring (talk) 18:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ttwaring: I changed them to comply with WP:JOBTITLES. -- GoodDay (talk) 18:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

The text was already compliant with WP:JOBTITLES before you made the change. It was vice president rather than Vice President. There is no point in changing the link to a redirect instead of the actual article. - Ttwaring (talk) 18:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I presume, you were the individual who made the previous changes, in this area? GoodDay (talk) 18:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't think I have ever changed a "vice president" link. I can find out who put the link in its current form, if you like.

Anyway the point is that WP:JOBTITLES refers to the text displayed on the page, rather than the piped link. Ttwaring (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Having the linked page capitalised, might cause editors to capitalise what's shown. GoodDay (talk) 18:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

It seemed to do OK from 28 May 2021 through to April 2024. It seems like you might have set yourself up for a lot of link editing. Anyway, thanks for explaining. - Ttwaring (talk) 18:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

I came here about the same thing. If there's going to be a lot of this sort of thing going on, maybe it should be discussed in a wider forum. Wehwalt (talk) 10:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

NHL Captains lists - Arizona

Hello there, I noticed that you removed ARI from the captain's list and while I am aware that the franchise is inactive, I feel as though the team should still be referenced in the list (as it is in the Alternate Captains list), since the franchise does still exist (and is referenced in other NHL list articles) so in my opinion, removing it from the list and having the article state that there are only 32 teams is incorrect. I also feel that having the article state that there are 33 teams but only listing the 32 that are active would likewise be incorrect, and would probably be confusing to the reader as well. That said, I didn't want to simply revert your edit without first discussing how we might proceed. FHSIG13 ^TALK 06:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Fhsig13: I removed the Coyotes, because they no longer have any players, for the moment. Either way, the Coyotes' no longer have any alternate captains, let alone a captain. I think it would be more accurate to simply have a 'footnote', mentioning the Coyotes. GoodDay (talk) 13:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@GoodDay I can respect where you’re coming from on that one, however I think it would be less confusing to keep the Coyotes on the lists, but mark the captaincy/alternate captaincies as “inactive” instead of vacant. If you don’t feel this is suitable, I can stipulate to a footnote instead. Thank you for your consideration. FHSIG13 ^TALK 21:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@Fhsig13: Do as you wish. I find the whole Arizona/Utah situation somewhat confusing. GoodDay (talk) 21:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

@GoodDay It is a very confusing matter, to be certain. I think that since other editors held that listing the captain, head coach, and general manager positions as vacant on the team page was arbitrary, I will align the captaincy list article with that consensus and mark the empty slots as "inactive", as previously stated, along with an explanatory footnote. FHSIG13 ^TALK 22:13, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Cool. GoodDay (talk) 22:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Flames alternate captains

Why did you remove my edits regarding the flames alternate captains? The rotated between 5 players at the end of the season. 2001:56A:76B8:E600:3176:D3D5:EB2A:C606 (talk) 22:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

No source was provided, nor were names added to List of current NHL captains and alternate captains page. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to add them to the List of current NHL captains and alternate captains. I provide sources when I edit them in when I was signed in. The flames were rotating. Coleman, Weegar and Kadri were seen wearing the A over the previously named alternate captains, Jonathan Huberdeau and Rasmus Andersson. 2001:56A:76B8:E600:3176:D3D5:EB2A:C606 (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

You also didn't add the letters to the Flames 2023-24 roster. GoodDay (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I did. Even put the dates of when they were assigned that role. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Not the roster. GoodDay (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to add the A’s to the roster part of the page. I see what you mean there. I’m just saying they were wearing A’s over their officially named alternates. If they were filling in for injured players, I wouldn’t have bothered, but they were all playing. If I added to the List of current NHL captains and alternate captains along with the roster spot, would my edits be taken down the same? Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Bring your recommendations to WP:HOCKEY's talkpage & see what others think. GoodDay (talk) 22:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Already did. Waiting on the response. Just asking for your personal opinion on the matter. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I'll go along with what the others say. GoodDay (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

That’s fine. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 01:06, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

This is my account. I provided links to sources in the edit summary. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Bring your proposals to WP:HOCKEY's talkpage. GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I see. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

My page block

Thank you for your suggestion at BLPN re Imane Khelif. I agree that I should take a break from the topic and, irrespective of the page block, I will do so. However, I don't understand if there are any good reasons for not appealing the block immediately, and instead wait for 6 months. Do you have any suggestions about this? Thanks Gitz (talk) (contribs) 19:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

@Gitz6666: seeing as the Khelif bio page falls under WP:GENSEX, your best move would be to walk away for awhile. It's the general topic, which can be a quicksand area. GoodDay (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:BLANKING

Users are permitted to remove block notices, just not declined unblock requests. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

No prob @Jake Wartenberg:. But honestly, the individual should have 'no permission' to do anything. I guess, it's best not to give'em what they want - ie. attention. GoodDay (talk) 19:24, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Exactly. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 14:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Projected electoral college

Hello. You recently reverted me saying ”Please, wait until after winner is projected. We don't need to have 'Elected President TBD' in the infobox, before that date. Unfortunately, when you use the college_voted parameter there does not seem to be a way to remove the “to be determined” footnote until we actually add who won. I will request for this to be rectified, but if it is not fixed in time, I am afraid we are going to have to just deal with it and re-add my edit on Election Day. We want the field on Election Night to say “projected electoral vote”, not “electoral vote”. Prcc27 (talk) 03:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

@Prcc27: recommend waiting until Nov 5, 2024 (when the polls close), before changing the infobox. GoodDay (talk) 04:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi again. So I made the request just now. I also did a little playing around on my sandbox, and may have found a solution. Worst case scenario, the field could just have an underscore, instead of being blank or having the TBD footnote nobody seems to like. I hope you will find that to be satisfactory if things aren’t resolved in time. I hear you about just waiting, but I am a little anxious, especially since we only get 1 revert that day, so I’d rather establish it in advance. Prcc27 (talk) 04:21, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

If the bottom of the infobox remains as "Incumbent President" & nothing else, until after the polls close? Then all should be fine. GoodDay (talk) 04:39, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
