Both their deaths are premature and their lifestyles contributed , however given their members of this family and many other members have suffered from substance abuse like David and saoirse which contributed to their deaths, I think I Lawford should be included though I get not wanting Smith on Ivanhardybirt (talk) 11:12, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

This discussion belongs on the article talk page; perhaps you can gain consensus there. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:37, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Why don't you specify what is disruptive and what is not? In football you use flags for players and officials, then why not in cricket? You just tell about what should be the length, talk about what should be mentioned and what not Rudraaac (talk) 16:08, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Leave short description, why is there a flag in front of Lionel Messi at the 2026 FIFA World Cup page? Then why shouldn't there be a flag in front of Virat Kohli in cricket? Rudraaac (talk) 16:24, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Beats me, I don't care about flags at all. You can continue discussing this on your talk page, not here. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 17:11, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, a little over a year ago, as a condition of unblocking my access to the article for emailSanta.com, you placed a topic ban on all Santa-related articles for me. I have voluntarily abided by that topic ban and have refrained from editing such articles. I think I am ready to have the green light to return to those articles (not that I will at the moment, as I don't have anything to write about them, but I want to have a clean record). May you please tell me that I'm good to go once again for editing these articles, so we may all consider this issue resolved and so that I may be in fully good standing once again? Thanks! Félix An (talk) 03:01, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Well, your topic ban is simply an agreement with the unblock admin (me) -- there's nothing on your "record" to indicate it. How about, "your topic ban from things Santa-related is lifted, but it still would be wise to stay away from there." --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 04:25, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

OK, thank you very much! Félix An (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
