The Martian
Dear Sock - The comparison is perfectly legitimate. I have no idea why you would think otherwise. However, I hesitate getting into a squabble with you. If you were kind and open-minded, you would undo your deletion of the quoted material I inserted.Tatami67239mypacks (talk) 23:00, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Tatami67239mypacks: I am not being unkind nor close-minded, I'm confused as to how a quote about a film (that is not The Martian) which was published in 2004 (eleven years before the film is in question is pertinent. The criticism is aimed at a specific film's depiction of Mars, and using a quote criticizing one film and portraying it as a criticism of another is a misrepresentation of the author's material and their intent.

Question about title formatting
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could tell me about title formatting.
If song and band titles are written in one word, do we write it as one word or written as it should be? Example should it be Blessthefall (band) or Bless the Fall? Should it "Ishookhandswithdeath" (song) or "I Shook Hands with Death"? Thanks. --2001:8003:32A5:7700:31A3:3B07:2B16:8835 (talk) 02:43, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- @2001:8003:32A5:7700:31A3:3B07:2B16:8835: This is a pretty great question. WP:NCM would traditionally have that info, but I don't see it in there. The closest note I can see is for trademarks (MOS:TMRULES), where LittleBigPlanet is written as one word. I think the difference is that, for the band, the spelling is marketing and branded, while a song title is considered stylization with less importance on stranger spellings. Might be worth taking to WT:ALBUMS. Sock (

Gorillaz wiki edit?
Hey there! Hope you've had a nice week :)
I hope this isn't a bother, but I saw you changed my Cass Browne edit on the Gorillaz page? I know you said he was only a member of the live band but this isn't the case haha- he wrote all the band members for over a decade.
I can send you proof if need be? I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, I just wish he got more credit for his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frootybanana (talk • contribs) 04:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Be that as it may, Browne was never listed as or reported to be an official member of the project anywhere that I could find. A collaborator, absolutely, but Remi Kabaka was a collaborator for over a decade before being listed as an official member only recently. Gorillaz, for the vast majority of their career, was Albarn and Hewlett (officially, at least). If there's a source that says Browne was an official member at any point, I'll gladly support his inclusion. Sock (

Adding external sources for track listings and personnel sections
Hi. Just letting you know, track listing and personnel don't need to have an external source per MOS:ALBUM, as the album itself is considered the source for this material, and other editors have considered it inappropriate to link to sources selling the album, almost as if this is some endorsement (I don't necessarily agree, just letting you know that argument has been floated). While in a way it's good that you're citing a source in general, unless the material is contentious, like a sample or a credit that hasn't been provided in all places, there's no need to provide a Tidal link for the sections. Also, using small templates to decrease the size of track notes in personnel sections is now being considered an overuse or misuse of small font per MOS:SMALL. I don't know if you've seen, but I've noticed several editors removing small text in sections after you've added it. Ss112 18:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Ss112: I was out of the loop on both of those things! Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I'll make sure to adjust my process when I do credits in the future. My concern was always if the Tidal credits didn't match the liner notes (which I also source if I own a physical copy of the album) so any errors could be explained through that, but I get you. Thank you again! Sock (
tocktalk) 12:19, 14 May 2021 (UTC)- Hello again. I just noticed you're still sourcing personnel sections to sites like Tidal. Again, I do get that you essentially want to tell other users where you got the credits from and not look like you're "adding unsourced material", but per MOS:ALBUM you aren't and don't need to for this. Ss112 14:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Oh lord, I fell back into it out of old habit. Gonna put a reminder somewhere so I don't do it anymore. Thank you again (again)! Sock (tock talk) 14:13, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

"Not x date yet"
Hi. Regarding your edit to Rock Believer several days ago, you might not be aware or have seen MetalDiablo666's edit summary after yours, but we don't have to wait until it's midnight in the US until we can change something. Wikipedia is not US-centric (Scorpions are a German band anyway), and thus one time zone is as valid as the next. MetalDiablo666 was right when they said "Wikipedia isn't based on just nationality, territories, continents, etc"—if an album has been released somewhere in the world (like where, based on the time, it is the next day already), Wikipedia can be updated to say it has been released. By the time of your edit, the album was out in New Zealand, Australia and most of Asia. Thanks. Ss112 03:26, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Ss112 I did not see that edit summary and that was a clear mistake on my part, apologies for that. I would like to note that I agree with that edit summary, but this comment comes across extremely condescending, and I would appreciate if you gave me a chance to respond to you before talking to me like I've never edited Wikipedia before. Thanks. Sock (

tocktalk) 03:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)- I'm not speaking to you like you've "never edited Wikipedia before". I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm simply explaining something based on what you said. It's not an assumption of bad faith. Even if somebody were to be changing text because an album "hasn't been released yet", I would strongly disagree but wouldn't think they were trying to "ruin" Wikipedia. As for your follow-up message, I don't think I've left very many talk page messages for you at all. Looking through my contributions here, my only messages prior to this thread were asking you to not collapse content on articles (because you did, and obviously did not know that it should not be done)—that's not me thinking you were editing in bad faith. Then my most recent thread above, which I added to twice, which was letting you know we shouldn't link to streaming services as sources for credits and then the guidelines around when to use div col. Both of these were because you were still making edits to the contrary, and I was letting you and then reminding you. Neither were an assumption of bad faith. You can feel you're being treated in bad faith but I assure you you're not. Ss112 15:09, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
Tidal Issue
Its original research to assume that because Tidal calls Keith Sorrells and Alex Nice producers and co-producers, that they should be listed as either. As such, I've changed the credits to read that they are credited as both. Its an assumption to list as either since we have no sources to say either way otherwise. Also note per WP:BRD, once you've been reverted, you should discuss on the talkpage rather than adding something back in regardless of whether you think you're right or not. I've compromised since we're not sure either way. 19:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC) >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 19:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Lil-unique1: I re-instated the change as my information came directly from Tidal, and I believed you were mistaken. That said, I do not believe my change was a "bold" edit, so I don't see how BRD applies to this situation at all. I abided by WP:3RR and did not revert a third time because I realized more discussion was needed.
- I have just posted a message on the WT:ALBUMS talk page to discuss this more broadly and get a consensus from that WikiProject. You made a good point in your second reply, which I addressed in that message. I'd love to hear your input in that discussion. Sock (

Mata
Hi there, just a quick question - could you confirm what the source is for Mata (album)#Personnel? I'm hoping to start working the article up to GA/FAC status as I did with all her previous albums, so the section will definitely need a source. Thanks! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:34, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- @ChrisTheDude Hello! I got the information from the Tidal credits for Mata at this link, but you actually shouldn't need to cite that per WP:PERSONNEL: "Similar to the track listing requirements, it is generally assumed that a personnel section is sourced from the liner notes. In some cases, it will be necessary to use third-party sources to include performers who are not credited in the liner notes." Since the credits on streaming services are provided by the artist or their label, they are usually considered equivalent to the liner notes.
- Good luck on the article! Sock (

Track list template
Sock, I don't personally change numbered lists to track listing templates so I don't appreciate or agree when users do the reverse. Some users like it, some don't. I personally prefer it, and I think WP:RETAIN applies if nothing else. WP:TRACKLIST doesn't advocate for changing uses of the template to a numbered list, only the reverse—it says consider using the template if there are more details to list. It's a misinterpretation, at least to me, to say that the opposite must also be true because it says track lists "should generally be formatted as a numbered list". The album style guide was written before the track listing template existed and that text was not altered upon its creation, probably because its creator didn't intend for the template to be the default way to format a track listing, just an option. Ultimately it's up to the creator of the article whichever they use, and any changes should be discussed, at the very least if they are reverted. Ss112 07:24, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Ss112 I didn't restore the change after it was reverted, and if I were really married to changing it I would've started a discussion rather than starting an edit war. I'm confused by what that last comment had to do with anything.
- My mistake on the rest, and I think your interpretation of WP:TRACKLIST makes sense and is one I'll adopt going forward. This was the first time I've ever changed a template to a numbered list, so I guess I know not to do that in future. Sock (

Hey Sock, Just love how you add credits to the albums. Would you be interested in adding credits to Mariah the Scientist's new album, and Rêve's, Saturn Return album? KARANSUTTA (talk) 05:55, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello! I was wondering if you would be willing to increase the color contrast in your signature? The current shade of pink has a contrast level of 3.13 against white, which is less than the minimum under MOS:COLOR (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines AA level, which in this case calls for a contrast of at least 4.5; the optional but ideal AAA level calls for 7.0). There are myriad ways this could be fixed, from using a darker shade of pink to adding a dark highlight to the current shade of pink – or something else entirely. Best, HouseBlastertalk 01:31, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- @HouseBlaster: Just changed it to a colour with a contrast level of 7.02. I can't thank you enough for letting me know! For several years now I've used a plug-in that makes every page on the internet display in dark mode, so the pink always seemed incredibly stark and standout. The thought didn't even cross my mind, but I'll be mindful of that in the future. Thank you again! Sock (

Community TV series task force
Hello Sock I've been trying to put together a Community (TV series) task force as a part of WP:TV and seeing as you were the crator of Abed Nadir I thought you might have some intrest. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:07, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for reaching out! I actually only created Abed Nadir as a redirect. The credit for fleshing that article out belongs to Phys Ed, who appears to be sporadically active so it might be worth reaching out to them. I largely traffic in music and film articles so I'm afraid I'll have to decline, but I wish you the best of luck! Sock (

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Sock!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Did something funny happen?
As always, I appreciate your edits and you're a helpful colleague, but did you make some kind of mistake or have a weird issue happen here? What is this "Ahhhh My Name Is Jeff" stuff? I removed it as I'm assuming that it's a bizarre copy/paste error or (God forbid) a medical issue--you're not a vandal, so I wanted to reach out. Also, please note that I have a 0-RR restriction, so any time I remove anything, I try to do outreach to ensure that this is proper and I'm not trying to engage in edit-warring. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Koavf: Well, that's certainly one of my more embarrassing gaffes. I'd made a mock track listing template with junk data to refresh my memory on the "all writing/lyrics/music" verbiage and I could have sworn I deleted it right after. Maybe I hit "undo" a few too many times? Really not sure how I managed to make that mistake, but thank you very much for catching it and reaching out. I haven't completely lost my mind, don't worry!

Hello! I've just noticed that you took the time to go through the album's whole credits, so I wanted to thank you for that!
By the way, feel free to make any other kind of edit, if needed: this was probably the first album page I've ever created myself, so it might still a bit rough... Oltrepier (talk) 14:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely, happy to help! It's something of a weekly ritual for me to go through the List of 2024 albums page and fill out the credits for any new releases (provided they haven't already been done). I'd be happy to take a comb through the rest of the article when I have a moment, but at a glance, I think you should be proud of your work! It looks better than a lot of first-time album articles, my own included. Sock (

Radiosoul
Hello! I hope you're doing well.
I've recently created an article for Alfie Templeman's new album, but since I'm not too familiar with Tidal and other platforms, I just wanted to ask you if you could go ahead and add (or check) the credits for me, please... I should've already sorted the "Track listing" section out, while the "Personnel" section is currently hidden, but ready to be expanded!
On a side note, I find it strange that neither Metacritic, nor ADM have any information about reviews for Radiosoul, yet, but maybe it's just because it's still too early...
Anyway, thank you for your attention! Oltrepier (talk) 12:12, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Oltrepier: Happy to help! I've just added the personnel section and updated the track listing credits based on the liner notes. There's a few discrepancies on Tidal's credits for some reason, but I typically side with the liner notes over Tidal in those cases.
- If you're ever wanting to get credits from Tidal in the future, you can register for an account with your email (no payment required) and then just go to https://listen.tidal.com. That lets you search and view albums, where you can then click "Credits" and see whatever the artist submitted.
- It looks like Alfie isn't on Metacritic at all, but I know they've been overhauling their music section for nine months now and he may have fallen through the cracks. That said, I did a cursory Google and found another review from Paste that you may want to add. There's also a review from Northern Transmissions, but that's unfortunately a blacklisted site so you won't be able to use that one.
- Good luck building out the article! Sock (

File permission problem with File:Richard Speck cropped.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Richard Speck cropped.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука13 10:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Well this is strange. The image I uploaded was just a crop from File:Richard Speck mugshot, 1961.jpg, which was deleted in March 2018. I added the cropped version in December 2017 and I honestly couldn't tell you whether this was licensed appropriately, so I'd have no problem with it being deleted as a possible copyvio. Sock (

Speedy deletion of Draft:Cochemea Gastelum

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
The page Draft:Cochemea Gastelum has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.cochemea.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

RSD LLM usage
Hi Sock - hope you are well.
As we previously worked together on some of the BC,NR articles, I'd hopefully like to request a second opinion on something I thought was quite strange. I came across the Record Store Day article in my random browsing across WP and it seems like most of it has been replaced with LLM style writing with barely any sources. While I have no concrete proof, I've listed some of my rationale in this talk page message and would like to know what you think or what actions would be in order. Thank you! Rambley (talk) 09:06, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm very much sharing your sentiment here. While I've definitely done my fair share of hefty single edits, this one is absolutely gargantuan and the complete lack of wikilinks sticks out as a glaring red flag. Unsourced additions are pretty common so that isn't too strange on its own, but it becomes especially odd after looking at one of that editor's other expansive changes that includes several links and citations for almost everything they added.
- I'll pop a message over there and ping the editor so they have the avenue to own up if they did use ChatGPT or to defend themselves if they didn't. That whole history section is definitely gonna require a huge amount of cleanup and research no matter what, so that'll be something we have to consider as well. Sock (

Rolling Stones Year-End Song Charts
Hi Sock,
I noticed you were a contributor to the entry "Rolling Stone Charts." I'm reaching out to you in desperation. Years ago, I printed PDFs of all the Rolling Stones Top 100 song charts, but I lost them all in a recent hard drive crash. I'd at least like to get back their 2020 year-end song chart. I don't suppose you downloaded that 2020 year-end chart? I can access the first page through archive.org, but you had to load multiple pages with the Rolling Stone charts, and it looks like only the first page was crawled:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210411163610/https://www.rollingstone.com/charts/songs/year-end/
I'm sure my quest is in vain, but I thought I would inquire.

Alcatraz Prison
How did I incorrectly edit my tag, I'm not great at web stuff. Upert (talk) 09:29, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- I totally understand! If you click here to view your revision, it only included part of your citation and formatting, which made it display like this: url=https://www.bizzbuzz.news/international/trump-orders-reopening-of-alcatraz-prison-to-detain-violent-offenders-and-immigration-detainees-1360798}}</ref>
- You were missing the opening <ref> and citation template, which completely broke your citation and your link. When you're editing, you should see a "Cite" drop-down above the text. If you click that, you'll get a "Templates" drop-down where you'll see cite web, cite news, cite book, and cite journal. Clicking those will open a pop-up that lets you input information from your source, including the author name, page title, URL, publisher, access/publication date, and so on. Once you've entered that information, it automatically formats your source to look like this.
- Last Name, First Name (May 6, 2025). "Title". Source. Retrieved May 6, 2025.
- I know that's a lot of information to throw at you, so I'd encourage you to check out WP:CITE for a more thorough (and much better constructed) walkthrough of the process. However, I want to note restoring that edit even with an appropriately formatted citation will almost certainly result in another reversion. BizzBuzz is not a notable publication, and even if it was, a single source is not enough to make such a sweeping claim in the lead of an article.
- Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll happily answer them to the best of my ability! Sock (

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Anemoia (album). When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. Thanks. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 08:28, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, not sure how I goofed that. I did preview it, but I didn't notice the time change because there weren't any output issues when previewing. Not a big deal, but it would've been much obliged to get an actual message rather than a template, especially given that previewing wasn't the problem. Sock (

Writing album bio/info Good Charlotte - Motel Du Cap
Hey!
Do you know if any is planning on writing Background, composition etc. info on the new Good Charlotte album? I am wondering because I saw that they guy that used to do that left Wikipedia in 2023.
I have never done anything like that. I have edited small stuff like adding singles etc, mostly when I have not been logged in. And I do not know how to add sources. It just confuses me. I have just edited stuff if it has been lacking something easy to change. I could write some of the info about the album. But someone would have to help add the sources unless I magically learn to do it. Madsgismerica (talk) 14:43, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Firstly, thank you for your contributions! I tend to do smaller stuff more often than not, then tackle an article creation or expansion here and there, so I'm always happy to see that there are other folks keeping an eye on the little things.
- Regarding your question, I'm a little confused what you mean when you say "the guy that used to do that left Wikipedia in 2023". There's a whole swath of people who fill out those kinds of sections, myself included. Are you referring to the person who typically added that information for Good Charlotte albums? Regardless though, anyone is welcome to tackle those kinds of additions, and I definitely encourage you to give it a go if you feel you can help!
- Since you said that you aren't sure on how to add sources, I'd definitely recommend checking out Help:Getting started and Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1. The first link will give you an overview with a ton of tutorials for different types of edits and changes, while the second specifically focuses on adding references which takes you through the process step by step. If you want to practice, you can start a sandbox in your userspace by going to User:Madsgismerica/sandbox and doing some test edits in there.
- Sorry to hit you with so much text, but I hope this is helpful to getting you started on building out that article. Feel free to fire any additional questions my way! Sock (
tocktalk) 13:27, 18 August 2025 (UTC)- Hey
- Thanks for the info. It was a user named "Musicforthepeople". I see he announced earlier this year that he would leave Wikipedia. He is the one that have written the Background, Production, Composition, Reception, Release sections of the articles on at least Generation Rx and Youth Authority. At least started them and written most of it. His page is gone but I get to his talk page when I click on his name.
- User:
- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MusicforthePeople
- I can write all of this for their new album. I have been a fan since 2004 and have followed the release closely. So I know where to find the information, all the interviews they have done and still does + I have read every review by an american magazine. Its actually their best reviewed album of their career upon release. There is 8 positive and 2 negative/average reviews last I checked. So I guess I have to start learning all of this. Its quite fun and I have many ideas.
- Do you know of that user I mentioned? Madsgismerica (talk) 17:37, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
Title case
I'm not sure what you meant here. I did not capitalize "the" since articles (a, an, the) are not capitalized in title case. I did not use the webpage titles in their original style because Help:Citation Style 1#Titles and chapters states, "Wikipedia does not attempt to emulate any stylistic flourishes used by the cited source's publisher." Frost 05:21, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
- I see where you're coming from, but capitalizing "The" at the beginning of a work's title isn't a stylistic flourish. The citation style link you provided specifically references all caps, all lower case, and small caps as examples, and additionally, MOS:TITLECAPS linked in that help article says
For title case, the words that are not capitalized on Wikipedia (unless they are the first or last word of a title) are:
(emphasis mine). I believe you're interpreting that to reference the title of the source, but that also applies to the title of the work being referenced in the source. Sock (tocktalk) 14:49, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

DYK for West End Girl
On 23 December 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article West End Girl, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/West End Girl. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, West End Girl), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Kiss the Beast
Hi, it's Jibblesnark, the user who started the article stated in the title. I just want to say that while I appreciate your rewording of the AllMusic review in the "Reception" section, it kind of means the same thing as what I worded. I'm wondering, wholeheartedly, why you did this. Thank you. Jibblesnark86 (talk) 08:19, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

"Credits adapted from"
Credits adapted from [position]
is actually, gramatically wrong. Please add "were" between "Credits" and "adapted", or remove full stop next to "[position]" (as the sentence is not a full sentence). Camilasdandelions (✉️) 02:15, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- To add on, "Credits are adapted" works too, I use that. RedShellMomentum 02:37, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Massive facepalm on that one. I use a template when I add personnel and wrote that verbiage years ago. No idea how it didn't clock to me that it was an incomplete sentence and I needed to do one or the other. Thank you for the heads up! However, I think I'm gonna go with RedShellMomentum's verbiage, as articles are written in present tense unless we're covering things that specifically happened in the past, and the credits are adapted.

Starting a taskforce
Hello! I saw your contributions on the version history for Civilization VII. I am hoping to start a task force about the references to real life in civ 6. To see more, visit the talk page of WikiProject VG, although it hasn’t been that helpful. For a list of things that are in the games, see here. You would be the last person before we try to start.
Post scriptum: I would not want that cute adorable little face to frown. Wikipedian12512 (talk) 02:33, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
- Hey there! I love the initiative, but honestly my contributions to anything historical largely fall into the WikiGnome category. I'll clean up some formatting or add/fix a reference here and there, but my focus stays pretty firmly with media and art since that's where I'm the most knowledgeable and confident in my contributions. I wish you the best of luck though!
- Also, I think you're the first person to EVER address Titus to the point that I forgot I'd even done that. Added it almost 12 years ago I'm still here! Sock (
tocktalk) 14:03, 10 April 2026 (UTC)- Okay! Also, how do I do something like that? (Add a message into a talk page or a comment if someone tries to edit my user page) Wikipedian12512 (talk) 19:48, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
