Duplicate parameter error

Hello, a number of your edits to various Georgia Senate district templates have introduced duplicate parameter errors. Could you clean them up please. They're listed at Category:Articles using duplicate arguments in template calls. Thanks - X201 (talk) 08:24, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Facepalm Facepalm On it now! sorry!! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 14:49, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

warning

How many more times does this have to happen before your rollback right gets revoked/removed or you get blocked? Logoshimpo (talk) 17:07, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

You JUST got unblocked... You really want to start this again? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:03, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@Ojsyork: not really clear what you are asking or needing? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:55, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
Sorry
Don't worry
The was an error popping up when you tried to edit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peter_lifeboats
but it seems to have cleared.

In the future, you are always welcome to ask for help... But please provide more information than you did. No idea what page you were talking about or what issue. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:47, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

RedWolf is not accusing you of anything

If you reread RedWolf's feedback at Template talk:Infobox mountain, I believe he is behaving within guidelines for talk pages. I don't perceive him accusing you of anything or assuming bad faith.

RedWolf has raised legitimate concerns, so we do not have consensus for the changes he is objecting to. I would suggest that your response to him (prominently invoking WP:AGF and saying that RedWolf is lacking in WP:AGF) is more likely to solidify his objections rather than change his mind, which is exactly the opposite of your desired outcome. — hike395 (talk) 03:05, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Appreciate the message. At this point it seems there is nothing more to be said on this mater. I'm moving on to other infoboxes. Not interested in the politics of fighting over things like the differences between the word photo and image. If you and RedWolf decide you want to clean up the many, many issues with that infobox, I'd be happy to help. Otherwise, I'm into the next project. See you in the next one! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:12, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
You invoking WP:VOLUNTEER is completely legitimate. You certainly aren't required to work on any infobox. That infobox has been a mess ever since I was WP:BLUDGEONed into accepting very messy code to display Wikidata information. It's been very difficult to maintain for years. If you have any suggestions of how to improve it, please let me know. To reaffirm: you are neither required to work on it, nor even required to make suggestions. — hike395 (talk) 03:25, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
Appreciate it. Let me cool off? Got some stuff going on off wiki right now. I'll think on it and get back to ya. Hope you don't get bludgeoned into maintaining it further! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:26, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
Going to give this another go. Tagged you in a post on Template talk:Infobox mountain. Lets see if we can't team up to improve the template and reduce some of the complexity! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:46, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi, Zackmann08, thanks for alerting me on the discussion about nationality, will remove this in all my articles, but might take a while, as i'm very busy at the moment with my next German Wikipedia-article. Kind regards, Naomi. Naomi Hennig (talk) 13:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Ha, i just checked, i only used it in the article, where you already erased it. So, thanks again :-) Naomi Hennig (talk) 13:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Teena Piccione

Hi Zackmann08! Thanks for making that reversion earlier at Teena Piccione. I am suspicious that Mols910 and SmilingDumby are not only the same person but connected to the subject of the article. Wanted to know your thoughts.. do you think this is worth me bringing to an administrator? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Over my head. If you think it a WP:DUCK though, there is always WP:ANI... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 21:46, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Infobox:forest and mapframe

If you are feeling lucky, might you "go ahead and make my day" by adding mapframe support to {{Infobox forest}}? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:18, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Would be my pleasure! Not going to get to it for a bit. If I forget, ping me in a day or two? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:37, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
@JMF: give that a try? Let me know if you find any issues! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:41, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
No such luck (at Forest of Marston Vale), though strangely the standard caption appears. I thought it might be because the infobox already has a map= but removing that param makes no difference. Ah, must be the coordinates, no, that looks good too... Yours in bafflement. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:03, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
The mapframe will work if you do |mapframe=yes OR if you remove |map= from Forest of Marston Vale. Look at line 49 of {{Infobox forest}} for the explanation. If a map or map_image is present, OR if the Infobox is a child (embedded in another Infobox) then the mapframe does not turn on by default. BUT you can always override that by using |mapframe=yes. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:05, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
odd. I did put mapframe=yes. Retrying... 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:08, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
It was the <expletive deleted> preview failure syndrome again . 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:14, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
HA! Been there, done that, have the t-shirt.... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:15, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
and it works as advertised. Tyvm. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Any time! If I can help again, let me know! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:25, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
