From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I live in Arizona, USA. My main focus on Wikipedia is working on articles about entertainment and fiction (particularly anime and science fiction, which is probably not a big surprise), though I do enjoy working on much more than just those kinds of articles. Lately I've been more active in meta space than in article space, focusing on discussions and technical features such as templates. I'm also very interested in applying some of the methodology of Wikipedia to other wikis around the internet, which lead me to start up WikiProject Transwiki.
Unfortunately my personal time is being consumed by some other stuff lately, and I'm not nearly as active as I once was. Don't let that stop you from leaving me a message or asking for assistance if you feel I can be of some help! I will always be a Wikipedian, and look forward to always having at least some level of contribution to this great project. I also plan on getting more active again to at least finish a number of projects/ideas that I've either had or was involved in.

Talk:Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
| When reliable sources disagree about a fact, but the evidence generally leans towards one side, how should we represent the fact in the lead? Namelessposter (talk) 13:41, 3 March 2026 (UTC) |
Talk:Act III: This City Made Us
| A dispute exists regarding the inclusion and level of detail for describing a hidden pregap track on the album Act III: This City Made Us. The untitled track, approximately 5:14 long, contains a spoken-word "numbers station" broadcast that matches a coded message in the album's included written story booklet, the libretto. |

Talk:Ideological bias on Wikipedia
There is presently a dispute about whether or not media coverage of a Manhattan Institute study authored by David Rozado in which he undertakes sentiment analysis of Wikipedia in an attempt to identify its bias is due inclusion in this article. This RfC seeks to ascertain the extent to which this study should be addressed in this page.
Should the Manhattan Institute study by David Rozado be included:

| The following will be a survey only and we only need you to state something along the line of Support Option (Letter). No long wall of text is necessary, though comments, sources and discussions of process is encouraged.
Brett Ratner fled Hollywood for Israel and lost work following several documented allegations of rape, sexually misconduct and harassment by several woman, and mention in the Epstein files. There is a debate on whether mention of this should be included in the WP:LEAD, which according to Wikipedia the WP:LEAD..."should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies."

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Vietnam
| Maybe it's time to revise WP:VIETPLACE? Given that Vietnam has implemented a new local government system since July 2025, the current convention – which applies to cities (thành phố), towns (thị xã), urban districts (quận) and rural districts (huyện), all of which were abolished after the administrative reform – no longer works.
Some issues to consider are:

Template talk:Interlanguage link
| Should the documentation for {{ill}} be revised to either remove the statement that "more than 2 or 3 links are very rarely recommended" or to indicate that while some editors believe this to be the case, other editors believe that attempting to "curate" the list of languages in this manner is counter-productive?

| This RfC is intended to discuss whether the sovereign state should be included when Hong Kong is mentioned in templates. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 00:57, 6 March 2026 (UTC) |

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)

| Edit: User is reverting my edits to campaign box, I am RFCing this edit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Operation_Cedar_Falls&diff=1339950814&oldid=1339730550 The formatting of this campaign battle template is irregular and inconsistent compared to the standard format of other types of wars. I noticed most edits are being reverted and blocked by a user. Several articles in this conflict seem to have similar issues with having a consistent format or following template conventions. A second issue is wounded figures are missing despite being found in the article itself. I would suggest this campaign box be edited to follow the format of Siege of Mariupol. In particular the casualties section and figures for non-combatants, including internal relocations. Summerhall fire (talk) 14:49, 21 February 2026 (UTC) |

Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models/RfC
| Should we replace the current text of the guideline Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models with the proposal at Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models/March 2026 proposal? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:27, 15 March 2026 (UTC) |
Talk:List of engineering societies
| There has been some debate over how the UKs Professional Engineering Institutions (PEIs) are included in this list. See the collapsed section for history.
The Engineering Council is the statutory regulatory body for the UK engineering profession and publishes the authoritative list of licensed PEIs and affiliate bodies. This makes it unique compared to other list pages as for the UK there is a definitive source of recognised organisations. Not all of them currently have a Wikipedia page (and may or may not meet notability criteria). The questions for community input are:
We need to ensure both list accuracy and compliance with guidelines such as WP:NLIST. For clarity, this RFC is not about whether every listed body is automatically entitled to a standalone Wikipedia article. It is about whether this list should accurately reflect verifiable engineering institutions, including where some entries are currently unlinked. |
Talk:Reactions to the September 11 attacks
| The section on Palestinian reactions has a significant portion of the sourcing from Fox News. Per WP:FOXNEWSPOLITICS, "there is a consensus that the reliability of Fox News [for pre-November 2020 politics] is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use."
I have marked the Fox sources in that section with the "unreliable source?" template. But should we remove the sourced material entirely as unreliable or keep it in with attribution? Evaporation123 (talk) 20:00, 5 March 2026 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:General disclaimer
| WP:DISCLAIMER now redirects to Category:Wikipedia disclaimers. There are currently six disclaimer pages ("Before"). Should they be replaced with one page, as proposed in the "After" section, and any redirects to the category or these pages go to the "After" version?
Before:
After: I asked editors at the idea lab to comment about the change, and posted an additional invitation to the talk page of the General disclaimer, but I didn't get much feedback. ETA: Restarted because there was little comment on the proposal. 21:58, 28 February 2026 (UTC) |
Wikipedia talk:Speedy deletion
| R3 is quite specific, designed for recent redirects that are not an obvious typo. In addition, interpretation of R3 doesn't seem to be quite crystal clear; I see only redirects with {{R from typo}} deleted under this criterion, and sometimes random other redirects are tagged for deletion as an "implausible typo" even when they are not trying to typo-correct. I suggest Redirects for discussion be used for questionable redirects instead.
Should R3 be retired, as RFD can be reasonably be used instead? TheTechie[she/they] | talk? 17:52, 20 February 2026 (UTC) |

Wikipedia talk:Biographies of living persons
The biographies of living persons policy, section "Restoration", says:When material about living persons has been deleted on good-faith BLP objections, any editor wishing to add, restore, or undelete it must ensure it complies with Wikipedia's content policies. If it is to be restored without significant change, consensus must be obtained first. Should the word "deleted" be replaced by "removed" (removed by any user) or by "administratively deleted" (deleted with admin tools such as revision deletion and page deletion)? 09:46, 17 February 2026 (UTC) |
Talk:2025–2026 Iranian protests
| Should Reza Pahlavi be removed from the "Lead figures" section in the page's infobox?
Context: A prior RfC established consensus that he should not be described as "the leader" of the protests and found no consensus on alternatives. Editors now disagree on whether listing him under "Lead figures" in the infobox is consistent with WP:WEIGHT, WP:DUE, WP:SYNTH, and WP:INFOBOX. Tasasiki (talk) 18:34, 15 February 2026 (UTC) |
