==RNA Vaccine History edit==
Hi. I noticed that you removed the reference of Robert W. Malone and P. Felgner, et. al and instead attributed the initial mRNA discovery to "researchers at the Salk Institute, the University of California, San Diego, and Vical". However, the citation is exactly the same so why did you make this change. The citation that you use is a paper by R W Malone, P L Felgner, and I M Verma. So why don't you credit the initial discovery to them since you cite their paper? Please email me at greatest125@secret.fyi

== Query on reversion ==

Hi,

I noticed that you reverted my edit on the grounds of following normative writing conventions. Is not a prominent guide for media writing from a well-known national body basing its recommendations [off research|http://www.samaritans.org/media-centre/media-guidelines-reporting-suicide/new-advice-journalists-suicide-reporting-academic] (World Health Organisation), and that have been adopted by a national press standards body (UK Press Association) not a suitable reference to show that such use is conventional (even if others do continue to use "commit", which implies criminalisation from its etymology)?

Best wishes,

Martin  <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:MartinPaulEve|MartinPaulEve]] ([[User talk:MartinPaulEve|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MartinPaulEve|contribs]]) 18:00, 13 August 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->


==Please change the tone of your posts==
Dear UCLA corporate lawyer,

No need to use the term "INCOMPETENT" on edit summaries when reverting good faith edits or leaving remarks on how ignorant a user is on their talk pages, especially of people you don't know anything about. I realize Wikipedia may be your personal playground and outlet to channel your legal and excellent editing skills, but also realize it is shared by others and a more civil tone would be better for everyone.

== US vs U.S. ==

You aren't exactly right there. See [[MOS:NOTUSA]]. "In American and Canadian English, U.S. (with periods and without a space) has long been the dominant abbreviation for United States. US (without periods) is more common in most other national forms of English. Some major American style guides, such as The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.), now deprecate U.S. and prefer US. Use of periods for abbreviations and acronyms should be consistent within any given article and congruent with the variety of English used by that article." [[User:Dougweller|Dougweller]] ([[User talk:Dougweller|talk]]) 16:09, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

== Delegated legislation ==

Your material added to [[Delegated legislation]] is contradictory and misplaced. As Wikipedia is not a US court, American courts are nothing more than mere commentators, and their opinions should not be afforded any more deference. IMO the quote clearly concedes that the executive branch legislates and adjudicates, and should be left on its own without commentary, as an obviously underdeveloped legal theory would deserve nothing more than a "C-" in an undergraduate political science course at a community college. More analysis is needed than the opinion of a single court focused norrowly on fitting a square peg into a round hole. [[User:Int21h|Int21h]] ([[User talk:Int21h|talk]]) 07:14, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

== Personal attack in edit summary at Circle 7 Animation ==

 07:37, 15 June 2015‎ Coolcaesar (talk | contribs)‎ . . (8,273 bytes) (-1)‎ . . "Countermand good faith edit by Spshu. The version without the hyphen has been prevalent in formal business English for almost 20 years. Try reading Fortune or Bloomberg Businessweek more often."
:Spell check shows that is not spelled right. And you cease making personal attacks hidden behind "Countermand good faith edit" as you have no business telling me what to read or to assume that I do or don't read a particular publication. WP is not a "formal business" publication in any case. Nor does "companywide" show up in dictionaries, dictionary.com, the Free Dictionary, Webster-dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster. [http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/business-english/company-wide?q=companywide Cambridge business dictionary] says they are equal valid. Oxford dictionary (through One Look) indicates "company-wide" while Wordnik indicates both. Businessdictionary.com does not come up with "companywide" but either "company-wide" or "company wide". [[User:Spshu|Spshu]] ([[User talk:Spshu|talk]]) 14:11, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

== "companywide" ==
Came here to discuss [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circle_7_Animation&curid=3855191&diff=667016115&oldid=664429684 the same edit]] as [[User:Spshu|Spshu]] (currently directly above this), but not quite the same aspect, so starting a new section... Might be worth noting that CMoS says for -wide constructions, according to [http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/16/images/ch07_tab01.pdf this PDF]: "Closed if listed as such in ''Webster's''. If not in ''Webster's'', hyphenated." Wikipedia does not use CMoS exclusively, but the main [[WP:MOS|MOS]] references it as one authoritative source among several, so it appears to carry more weight than various business publications. Just my two cents. --[[User:Fru1tbat|Fru1tbat]] ([[User talk:Fru1tbat|talk]]) 18:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

== On countermanding ==

Hi, Coolcaesar.

==Forbes contribution==
Listen, the only reason why I add informations from Forbes contributors is because others have used and done it vehemently and severely in many other wiki pages most notably pertaining to superhero pages. For example, look at ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'', ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'', ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'' and ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]'' among others, they have been quoting either Scott Mendelson or Mark Huges (from Forbes). From poster reviews to trailer reviews. And it's not just once. If the trailer for the film, say Civil War, comes out three times, they always add his review of all the three trailers and quote him. Why isn't that being checked? The only time I'll stop adding from Forbes is when Justice and equality prevails. U can't target some users for doing an illegal thing (I assume) and go on living knowing that there are others out there committing the same mistakes. Yes, I am fully aware that I have been warned perhaps once or twice. In the page, ''[[Frozen Fever]]'' I was not to add reviews from Mendelson, I accept that that, but then I go on reading other articles but found his reviews to be in some of them. I don't think is unfair to take box office information from them. Because they have accurate data and are professionals at what they do. Infact Scott a Mendelson is one of the best box office pundit out there, comparing to the likes of Nany Tartaglione, Anita Busch and Anthony D. Alesandro of [[Deadline.com]], McCarthy of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' and Brad Brevet of [[Box Office Mojo]]. So I feel it's not wrong to take box office information from him. Yeah maybe reviews. Infact the exact figures for the most expensive film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strangers Tides was provided by Forbes contributors and they are still out there in numerous pages and no one is having a single problem. I don't think so Forbes company would wanna pay their employee if they circulate inaccurate information. Who wants to be besmirched right?. So please, put checks on those who put reviews on those superhero pages as well. I would like to see them (the reviews) being vanished then I can be content that equality prevails.   
;[[User talk:Josephlalrinhlua786]] 17:09, March 20 (UTC).

:Ok, if Forbes is such an unreliable source, then why don't u try reverting those informations taken from ''Forbes'', like the trailer reviews in ''[[Avengers: Age of Ultron]]'', ''[[Captain America: Civil War]]'', ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]'' etc, you'll have legions of writers attacking u, legions I'm  telling u. I don't have any problem, but they will, so PLEASE I insist u to revert those edits taken from ''Forbes'', if it is such an unreliable source. Please go revert it and see multitudes of contributors pitting u. And yes the exact figure for the "most expensive film ever made" which is held by ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides]]'' is given by ''Forbes'', so please, talk is cheap, go here, [[List of most expensive films]] and go revert the edit because Forbes is so unreliable to u and let's see how u hold up to those contributors argue with u. I don't have any problem. But they will so good luck. I'll just sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. Go on. Also try reverting to the $279.9 million budget of ''Avengers: Age of Ultron'' (also from Forbes) and see how ur edit will be revert more quicker than "blink-and-you'll-miss" moment of [[Rita Ora]] on ''[[Fifty Shades of Grey (film)|Fifty Shades of Grey]]''.

== Common law ==

Furhter participation from you at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Common_law#Proposal

My note, asking for your further participation --


        Thanks Coolceaser. I added that very explanation in a footnote as soon as the issue surfaced -- I didn't discuss it on the Talk page because I engaged with it in the text. I can't do it now, but I'll move the footnote into the text within a day or so. Does that close out the "connotations" issue? 98.229.147.75 (talk) 14:18, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

        Ah, I see Qexigator already took care of it. Thanks.

        Now we come to the other problem. This is another round with an editor that is singing the tune of the Cliven Bundy / no Sixteenth Amendment crowd, the folks that insist that the common law ended with the American Revolution, that we still operate under the common law as it existed in 1789, and all subsequent legal developments are unconstitutional. Up the page, you'll see that Qexigator pointed us to the National Liberty Alliance web site. Whether Qexigotor is or is not part of this bunch, I don't know -- but the points he wants to introduce are the same ones that Coolceasar and Famspear and I have repelled in the past.

        I believe the article should, first of all, be accurate. As one example, "the common law" is as recent as the Supreme Court's opinion from 10AM this morning, not frozen in time in 1789. In today's world, Antonin Scalia and Steven Breyer are the relevant authors of the common law.  Coke or Blackstone are not "law" -- they're just commentaries.   Etc. etc.  The article should not imply otherwise.

        Similarly, other artifacts of the 1890 description from Black's 1st Ed -- which had carried forward almost verbatim though the 1969 edition, despite Erie, FRCP, merger of law and equity, and the Field Code and all the rest -- should not be presented as current fact. Fine to discuss historical artifacts if they are labeled as obsolete, but it's not OK to present them as current reality.

        That's the current point of disagreement.

Later same day --

If you have any questions about who's acting in good faith and who isn't, take a look at this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Common_law#Remove_scaffolding] -- Qexigator proposes to remove all cites to the current edition of Black's, so that he can run with his agenda.

I think it's time to ask to have Qexigator banned.  I have no idea how any of that admin stuff works.

== [[Disney Renaissance]] ==

Just a quick ping here, since I know a revert of a revert [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Disney_Renaissance&diff=724666197&oldid=724608065] can be seen as antagonistic/aggressive. I do understand that story titles are denoted by quotation marks; my (rhetorical) question in my original edit was as to why they were being used in this case. The particular usage here indicates a character name, not a title. I was choosing to remove the quotation marks and leave the wording alone, but it would be equally valid to leave the quotation marks and delete the preposition (based on the story "Rapunzel").

== Typo ==

Regarding your edit of my typo. I noticed that you called it a "weird typo." It was a lower case "p", and you simply changed it to a capital "P". There was absolutely nothing "weird" about it. I'm not sure why you chose that adjective (or why you even felt the need to describe it at all) I notice that you have previously had comments on your talk page about your tone. You should really heed those previous comments. Thanks for your time.[[User:Wikicontributor12|Wikicontributor12]] ([[User talk:Wikicontributor12|talk]]) 03:24, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your additions. I wanted to make some edits to what you wrote. I think some words should be taken out to preserve the objective feel of the article.

== Don't patronize me. ==

Re. your revision of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Magna_Carta&oldid=prev&diff=757876201 my edit] to Magna Carta: it's one comma, and you're welcome to it; I'm not about to fight over it. But don't presume to browbeat me, or hope I'll be intimidated by the phrases "close reading" and "full parse tree". I am not impressed. I know how to use a comma. I happen to feel strongly that your preferred style is wooden and ugly, but it is not wrong; when you seek to make your own prose taste a question of "maintain[ing] the ''correct'' pacing" (my emphasis), however, you overreach. Your comma is not "correct": it is merely yours. If your parse tree strictly forbids any other pacing, maybe you should consider clinging less fiercely to your parse tree. And stop using "countermand" in reversion summaries, please: you are not my superior officer. Your supercilious tone may be getting more subtle over time, but it is still alienating your fellow editors.

== Marsy's Law ==

Hi Coolcaesar, I see you are a lawyer and have made some constructive edits to pages like [[California Penal Code]]. I posted a simple edit request at [[Talk:Marsy%27s_Law#Requested_additions:_New_laws_in_Montana.2C_North_Dakota_and_South_Dakota|Marsy's Law]] last month asking editors to include recently enacted Marsy’s Laws in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota. I thought this might be something you may like to review based on your interests. Can you look it over? I have a conflict of interest that is fully disclosed on the Marsy's Law Talk page and I will not edit the page myself. Instead, I have worked with others in the past to update [[Marsy's Law]] and created [[Marsy's Law (Illinois)]] through [[WP:AfC]], but have had trouble finding assistance from editors for the most recent changes. I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide or any advice on where I might be able to find help if not. Thank you.

Could you take a look at [[Talk:Common law]] -- Quexigator asserts that Black's 10th Ed and Bryan Garner's dictionary "look like a student's garbled notes of a lecture"  At "court of record" you had some choice things to say about the absurdity of some edits -- it might be appropriate here too.

He Coolcaesar, unsurprisingly the [[Paris Agreement]] gets a lot of attention lately, with editing especially focussed on US withdrawal at some point. What keeps popping up is the bold statement that the agreement is not applicable in the US anyway because it was considered an executive agreement rather than a Senate-ratifiable treaty. Could you clarify things a bit from a US law point of view at [[Talk:Paris_Agreement#US_is_still_a_signatory.3B_the_withdrawal_process_takes_time.21]]?

== Common law - vandalism? ==

You seem to be one of the people that looks after law articles.  I'd like to alert you to a pattern of vandalism -- long indictment at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Common_law#Degraded_article.2C_19th_century_obsolete_view.2C_and_Qexigator]

Qexigator has a problem with the definition of "common law" that all the rest of us (including Black's dictionary) work with -- so he edited out the parts of the definition from a footnote that he disagrees with.  When I was actively practicing, that would have gotten you sanctioned.  From that starting point, he rewrote "common law" with a very heavy hand, but very little knowledge.

Are you an admin with disciplinary authority?  If not, could you refer this to someone who is?

Thanks

== Pause for reflection ==

Hi "young lawyer" holding J.D. (UCLA School of Law?), perhaps experience would show that to infer and pronounce ''consistent evasiveness'' is off the mark, if the [[Talk:Common law|page]] is reviewed, particularly given the reasoning in sections 5, 6, 7, 8, "For the record", 10, and 11. The Archives show some earlier concerns of editors, such as discussions on "Three connotations" and "Improving opening sentences" at [[Talk:Common law/Archive 6]]  May-June 2016, including 17:15, 3 June 2016 "...pointless to engage...".

== John Lasseter ==

So I'm a bit new here, and I'm not too sure how to handle this. But I was wondering if we should include a section on Mr. Lasseter's recent allegations, or at least go into more depth on them.

Hi Coolcaesar:

I was slow in understanding my mistake editing the lede sentence of [[Zoning in the United States]]. The problem was not what I wrote, but the fact that I changed the subject of the lede sentence.

== Georgia Naming ==

Noticed you believe the USA state of Georgia should have a Wikipedia title of just Georgia at the expensive of the country. Just want to let you know that the reason you state this is because the economy of the state is larger than the country is completely ridiculous. Georgia is a country whereas the state is just a local government body. Also country has a diverse culture and history unlike the state. Finally that is an extremely American centric view - coming from Finland and having lived in the UK and Belgium (apologises for limited English) I know that Europeans will also mean the country when they say Georgia. In conversation Georgia always means Georgia whereas the state is always called the American state of Georgia. Outside North America Georgia always means the country not the USA state. Also should history, culture and worldwide status (as a country) be more important.

Bring a more local example in would you support instead moving the page of Suffolk (currently the county in the UK) to Suffolk County, New York given the New York county has double the population? Obviously such a move would be mad given the Suffolk County in New York is only a district of local government whereas the UK county is more important given it is a local government unit. Also the history of the UK Suffolk is far greater than that of the New York Suffolk.--[[Special:Contributions/80.189.139.45|80.189.139.45]] ([[User talk:80.189.139.45|talk]]) 06:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

=== Long-term pattern ===
...continuing from [[Talk:Contract#Proposal:_change_of_name_to_"Law_of_Contract"]] - is there any way for you to use polite language? A user proposing to rename an article should not be called a "troll". And this isn't an isolated incident - it's gone back many years! Name-calling is infectious.

: In defense of Coolcaesar, I would point out that editors who put themselves on the front lines of contentious topics see a ''lot'' of trolling, and can therefore become highly attuned to it - perhaps oversensitized.

Happy (Wikipedia) birthday. Balloons and presents all around. I saw you tried to open up an RM at manifest destiny, but the coding didn't take. That's my problem too, I can never figure out the coding to open RM's, someone should really simplify the thing. Maybe you can ask for admin assistance to fix the coding.

== Reason for revert of my edits? ==

I note [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ALaw_of_the_United_States&type=revision&diff=890508739&oldid=890354064 your revert] of my edits to Template:Law of the United States with the reason given "That is TMI for a navbox template." Pls translate? [[User:DadaNeem|DadaNeem]] ([[User talk:DadaNeem|talk]]) 21:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
:I assume you mean "Too much information"? Who defines that? Let me present my case: As a lawyer you may appreciate the concept of precedent: looking at Category:Law navigational boxes for similar Templates I found:
: '''Canadian law''' has '''Core areas''' & '''Other areas''' which together would roughly correspond with the '''Types of law''' I inserted
: '''Law of Singapore''' which is quite detailed, even giving Acts, which would be unmanageable for the number of US Acts
: '''Law of Sri Lanka'''...
I submit that Canadian law sets a useful template. I think Types of law is a useful addition, putting the sub-areas of US law together.  It could be retitled eg Areas. Over to you... [[User:DadaNeem|DadaNeem]] ([[User talk:DadaNeem|talk]]) 01:00, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

:My edits have been restored on April 5, 2019‎ -many thanks to  [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] who commented: "Those were worthy additions; certainly not "TMI", the nav template is pretty sparse compared to most". Regards [[User:DadaNeem|DadaNeem]] ([[User talk:DadaNeem|talk]]) 06:01, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

== Regarding your reversion of my recent edits ==

Greetings and felicitations.  I noticed that you reverted two of my recent edits, to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sherardising&oldid=prev&diff=891490565 "Sherardising"] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shepard%27s_Citations&oldid=prev&diff=891490569 "Shepard's Citations"], with the identical reasons:

<blockquote>Removing incorrect edit. There's clearly a p in "Shepardizing," not a b. Are you dyslexic? This is nearly as strange as cross-linking "Umbrella" and "Beretta."</blockquote>

Actually, unlike "umbrella" and "Beretta", "Sherardising" and "Shepardizing" differ in spelling by only two letters, one of which is in the middle of the words, and the other of which is due to regional spelling differences (-ising/-izing)—"Sherardising" would be changed to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sherardizing&redirect=no "Sherardizing"] in [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sherardizing American usage], reducing the difference to a sole letter.  Both words are also verbs derived from proper names, with a leading capital letter.  They are very easily confused when spoken aloud to someone like myself who is or was unfamiliar with either of them.  Additionally, entering "Shepardizing" in the Wikipedia search box gives both as results, but entering "Sherardising" only gives that one.  Therefore I felt they met the third usage criterion of [[Wikipedia:Hatnote]] fo the addition of disambiguation hatnotes: "they [the reader] sought article and the article with the hatnote have similar names or are otherwise easy to confuse" (I being one of those readers).

In view of these points, would you please be so kind as to undo your reversions of my edits? —[[User:DocWatson42|DocWatson42]] ([[User talk:DocWatson42|talk]]) 09:31, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
:Hi there, I have this page on my watchlist, as Coolcaesar and I have had discussions before, and checked the edit. I was a bit surprised that in the edit summary you were "diagnosed" with [[dyslexia]]. That could be based on a medical analysis, but also be a personal attack. Such attacks or suggestions about the mental state of users do not help very much in understanding whether Coolcaesar is serious about the revert. It also is not the way to behave on wikipedia. I have therefore restored your edit. [[User:L.tak|L.tak]] ([[User talk:L.tak|talk]]) 20:33, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
:: Thank you. ^_^  I was ignoring that point in the interest of [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] on my part.

== Hostile response to good faith edits ==

Good faith edits that accidentally obscure or misrepresent information should obviously be changed or reverted, but they are not an excuse to be overtly hostile to other editors. There’s no reason to act out like that on here, it doesn’t do anything other than making the Wiki community a worse place to be. <small>-[[User:Drevolt|Drevolt]] ([[User talk:Drevolt#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Drevolt|contribs]]) 19:07, 22 April 2019 (UTC)</small>

== President of the United States ==

Do you believe in compliance with community consensus on MOS issues? If not, read no further as we have no basis for communication. 
*[[MOS:JOBTITLES]] bullet 3: "When a formal title for a specific entity (or conventional translation thereof) is addressed as a title or position in and of itself, is not plural, '''is not preceded by a modifier (including a definite or indefinite article)''', and is not a reworded description." The word "The" is a [[definite article]] and in fact is the only definite article in the English language. 
*For illustration of the case, see [[MOS:JOBTITLES]] table column 2 example 1: "Richard Nixon was the president of the United States." {{emdash}} not "Richard Nixon was the President of the United States."
This seems clear enough to me. &#8213;[[User:Mandruss|<span style="color:#775C57;">'''''Mandruss'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mandruss|<span style="color:#888;">&#9742;</span>]] 16:53, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

== Reason for removing my recent edit ==

Hello. You removed the paragraph I added to the Summary Judgment page. There, I had mentioned that while the S.J. rules ("SJTOR") are absolutes (required by common law to be followed by judges), nevertheless many judges abridge them. This is particularly true for federal employment discrimination, and is very well documented, and I did cite the standard reference ("Unequal" book by Sperino & Thomas). You removed this information, calling it a "polemic". But it's not polemic, it's fact, and it's a important fact about S.J. that Americans need to know. Can you think of a better way to document it? [[User:Wtuvell|Wtuvell]] ([[User talk:Wtuvell|talk]]) 12:44, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

== Reason for removing my recent edit (Continued) ==

I saw your reply (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wtuvell#It's_off-topic_and_a_tangent) to my preceding note. Thank you. But it's not really responsive to the topic here: S.J (and violation thereof) is orthogonal to, and far more general/important than, the McDonnell-Douglas (and progeny) framework you mention (noting that S.J., is "transubstantial," i.e., applies to all subject-matters, not just empl disc). The paragraph I tried to insert is on-topic and non-tangential.

The topic I raise is this (which is purely S.J.-focused, not empl disc): "judges frequently abridge/violate SJTOR, even though the rules/laws of court require them to observe/obey SJTOR unconditionally (no discretion permitted)." Period; this assertion has nothing to do with empl disc or McD-D. It is, however, a shocking assertion (if true), and is certainly something litigants/readers learning about S.J. should know about (if true), I think you'd agree. Therefore, being potentially controversial, some sort of corroboration about "if true" is appropriate/required. That could be done in several ways, but the best/easiest (most persuasive) way is to point to an explicit example-area (if it exists) that is well-studied/accepted (in a non-controversial way). Such an example-area does exist: federal empl disc, which has been discussed/proven in many places, and its best (main-stream) exposition occurs in Sperino & Thomas's book, "Unequal." A faithful review of that book (which I cited) has been published by Beiner, "When Courts Run Amuck," https://scholarship.law.tamu.edu/lawreview/vol5/iss2/3/ (concerning spelling see https://writingexplained.org/run-amok-vs-run-amuck-difference). See especially its footnote #14 for many references to the relevant literature, esp. many articles at the N.Y.L. Sch. L. Rev Symposium in 2012 (which even has judges admitting violations of SJTOR happen in the empl disc context). For a very recent explicit example, see the Pet Writ Cert for Micheo v. Stericycle at https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/18-967.html. Seriously, it's quite shocking that the courts are getting away with this (if true, which it is).

Your citation of McD-D framework is orthogonal to the concept of SJTOR. Namely, it's as orthogonal as the classical dichotomy "findings of fact" vs. "conclusions of law" (this happens both at S.J. and at trial); which means (as you know): once the relevant facts are found (at trial, this would be the jury, or judge at bench trial), the question then becomes whether-or-not any laws were broken. At S.J., it is required that the court follow the SJTOR (esp. crediting nonmovant's story over movant's) to "find the facts." Then after that is where McD-D (which is very empl disc specific, not "transubstantial") kicks in: given the "facts," were any (empl disc) laws broken? Some of the McD-D burden-shifting discussion can happen at S.J. (if the litigants argue it in their filings, which they typically do), but more likely it happens at trial (because it's there that the factual credibility-determinations happen, before the jury).

(Also, I don't know why you bring up Google's "site operator," I know about it, and it's irrelevant to this discussion.) [[User:Wtuvell|Wtuvell]] ([[User talk:Wtuvell|talk]]) 13:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

ADDITION: I've now seen your 2nd reply (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wtuvell), just now. You criticize my contribution by saying: "The sources cited [Sperino & Thomas, Beiner] go to how American anti-discrimination law is broken, not how summary judgment law is broken," and that my interpretation of Sperino & Thomas is "strained." But that is not the case. For, what the judges are doing is violating S.J. IN ORDER TO break empl disc law.

It seems you have not bothered reading Sperino & Thomas, nor even Beiner's (faithful) review of it. Here is what Beiner writes: "Limiting their analysis to individual disparate treatment claims, the authors spend chapters two through six describing the various ways courts have [ILLEGITIMATELY] found to dismiss or grant summary judgment against plaintiffs in these cases or reverse a jury’s determination that discrimination did indeed occur. … The authors accomplish this the old-fashioned way — by examining legal theories used in actual federal cases. This is a very law-on-the-ground approach, whereby they use compelling examples from case law to illustrate the ways that courts have found to dismiss these cases prior to a jury trial or, in some cases, after a jury has rendered a verdict for the plaintiff." There is nothing "theoretical/speculative" about this. It's "well-known" (by experts in the field, hence should be surfaced to public attention, THE Wikipedia goal of educating the world). In particular, if you'd look at Beiner's footnote #14 like I suggested, you'd see that the sources she cites there (apparently you haven't read those either) are impeccable, exactly the sort of references Wikipedia likes. So none of this is my "opinion" or "original research."

Now, it is true that Suja Thomas has written other books & articles, and you may be thinking of those, but I don't cite them. THAT would be "strained," but it's not what I'm doing. Also, although you have legal training, it it seems you don't know this area of the law. Isn't there somebody else at Wikipedia with expertise in S.J. & empl disc that we could ask for another critique?

(Also, I already know about WP:NOT and WP:NOR, and I didn't violate them.)  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wtuvell|Wtuvell]] ([[User talk:Wtuvell#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wtuvell|contribs]]) 14:30, 1 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

[ADDITION #2] I mentioned Suja Thomas has written other things that I don't cite. One of those other articles is at https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5507&context=flr. It contains this line (which is nowhere rebutted, i.e., it's known to be true): "[I]n many cases in which courts grant summary judgment, judges describe the facts, creating an impression that no dispute of fact exists when such differences exist." That is, judges violate the nonmovant-trumps-movant clause of the SJTOR. I repeat: NO ONE DISPUTES THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT!

FWIW, Suja Thomas argues that S.J. is unconstitutional. She may very well be right about that (IMHO), but since that's not supported by "everybody," I don't cite to it. But what she says above IS supported by everybody: judges very frequently "fudge"/lie about the facts (that is, credit movant over nonmovant, or violate other of the SJTOR tenets). I repeat: NO ONE DISPUTE THIS, so it's perfectly appropriate for Wikipedia to notice it.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wtuvell|Wtuvell]] ([[User talk:Wtuvell#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wtuvell|contribs]]) 20:11, 1 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== What is Abuse of Summary Judgment? ==

Let's consider a very simple straightforward explicit example. Suppose a judge (federal, district, say), at Summary Judgment (in a very regular, non-pro-se case, say), wrote the following:
* By law/rule at S.J., this court MUST credit all factual assertions of nonmovant (Plf), together with all reasonable inferences thereto.
* BUT, in this particular case, I think I will instead credit all factual assertions of movant (Def), together will all reasonable inferences thereto.
* On that exact basis, I grant S.J. dismissal.
Under these circumstances, would you consider that to be judicial misconduct, or not?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Wtuvell|Wtuvell]] ([[User talk:Wtuvell#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Wtuvell|contribs]]) 19:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hello, Coolcaeasar.  I understand that you disagree with the other editor's approach to [[United States Code]], but their edits are clearly '''not''' vandalism.  Please avoid edit warring and seek to resolve content disputes civilly.  Thank you in advance. --[[User:R'n'B|R'n'B]] ([[User talk:R'n'B|call me]] Russ) 15:42, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

== Your edit summary ==

I take a bit of an issue with your edit summary. There was nothing grammatically wrong with my changes, as you claim. I was merely trying to simplify the language. You don’t have to agree with the edits I made but that doesn’t make them wrong. I certainly don’t see anything ‘odd’ about them.

Hi! I read you commentary on the talk page of [[Nine Old Men]]. What misspellings do you see in my text about the history of the Nine  old Disney?--[[User:Isinbill|Isinbill]] ([[User talk:Isinbill|talk]]) 18:42, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

== obvious vandalism to "Interchange (road)" ==

You commented that {{diff|Interchange (road)|609755734|606146994|these edits}} of [[Interchange (road)]] included "obvious vandalism", i.e. with respect to using a different spelling of the plural form of "cloverleaf".

Either of these spellings is apparently considered acceptable, so I'm not sure why you would characterize these edits (changing "cloverleafs" to "cloverleaves") as vandalism.  If you merely mean that such changes are unnecessary, well, that's another matter.  My observation is that pointless changes are a substantial chunk of all WP edits.  Perhaps such pointless edits are not a majority, but they come pretty close. [[User:Fabrickator|Fabrickator]] ([[User talk:Fabrickator|talk]]) 08:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

== Verbal assault ==

I don't know what your gig is, but here is a Wikipedia civility warning: [[WP:CIVIL]]. Brush up on it. There is absolutely no call for you to be trolling around Talk page edits from 5-1/2 years ago somewhere and leave a gratuitous, unprovoked insult like this on my Talk page:

:It looks like you don't understand [[transitive verb]]s. Please explain. --[[User:Coolcaesar|Coolcaesar]] ([[User talk:Coolcaesar|talk]]) 18:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

It's not constructive, it's not adult, and it is profoundly uncivil as expressed.

You think you've found a grammar problem, ''fix it''.  You think you can ''help another user'' understand intransitive verbs, then by all means do so, educationally, in a civil manner.  A lesson which, after your opening broadside, I am, unfortunately, not open to receiving from you at this point.  But consider the advice before you preemptively insult someone else and arrogantly deface their talk page with an unprovoked derogation.  The "please explain" is far too late.

Thanks for your insights at the [[Talk:University of Pennsylvania#"Philadelphia"_or_"Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania"?|University of Pennsylvania talk page]].

== Reverted edits to [[Kaiser Permanente]] ==

Truly perplexed how you came to the conclusion that I was "trying to edit this article into British English." I'm a professional (American) copy editor who has a Kaiser Permanente health care plan. I'm well aware that it's an American HMO. Happy to explain all my edits if you could please revert them! [[User:JustAMuggle|JustAMuggle]] ([[User talk:JustAMuggle|talk]]) 20:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply! Respectfully, my counterarguments are below:

:"Later, Garfield also credited Ordway with coming up with the general idea of prepayment for industrial healthcare, and explained that he did not know much at the time about other similar health plans except for the Ross-Loos Medical Group." You deleted the "and" before "explained", which created a run-on sentence.
::Oops! This was certainly a mistake on my part.
:In formal written English, especially American English, U.S. is still far more common in American newspapers of record and major newsmagazines, not US. British English began to drop the periods about four or five decades ago.
::I do see that U.S. Bank and U.S. News and World Report still use the periods. I did research on the use of periods in acronyms and initializations a few years ago to determine whether my publication should use them and came to the conclusion that the use of periods is seen as more traditional but unnecessary (see [https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/abbreviations-acronyms-and-initialisms Grammar Girl] and [https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/abbreviations_full_stops_periods.htm Grammar Monster]). My publication wants to be seen as more modern, so we opted not to use them. I understand that it's still a matter of style but wasn't aware of any difference between American English and British English in this matter.
:There has been a trend towards eliding "health care" to "healthcare" for about 30 years. For example, Modern Healthcare magazine.
::I definitely see "healthcare" often, but Merriam-Webster [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/health%20care continues to prefer "health care."]
:"Has faced", the current wording, is more precise than "received." "Received" is what happens when one submits criticism through a Web form directly to a business's customer service department. WP generally doesn't cover such private criticism because that's what Yelp is for. "Has faced" more accurately describes the situation here: KP has faced public criticism. The connotation of "has faced" is more confrontational than "received," which is what makes it the better word choice under the circumstances. All experienced writers always check for appropriate connotation and denotation when choosing words.
::With this, I was trying to avoid the redundant use of "faced," although you're right that "faced" is more accurate than "received" here. We'll just need to remove the extra "has," which makes the sentence nonparallel.
:"Then" when used as an adjective to refer to the holder of a position at a previous point in time is usually linked to the title of the position by a hyphen.
::See Merriam-Webster's [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/then "the then Secretary of State"] example. [[User:JustAMuggle|JustAMuggle]] ([[User talk:JustAMuggle|talk]]) 22:11, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
::Thanks again for your reply, Coolcaesar! [https://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/all_of.htm Grammar Monster] is what I direct my writers to for using "all" in place of "all of" where possible, but I have never found a more formal source to back that up. If we can agree to revert your revert, I will add "of" per your preference, fix the "and" I accidentally removed in the first sentence you pointed out, and keep "faced" over "received." Re: "U.S." vs. "US," I just checked the Wikipedia MoS, and it seems that "US" [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Abbreviations#Full_points_(periods)|would be preferred]].

== Manual of Style ==

Thank you for your kindly worded suggestion, however I am familiar with the manual of style, and indeed took the time to review the relevant sections before adding the cleanup tags and inline comments.

You may find this guideline particularly helpful (''[[Wikipedia:Make_technical_articles_understandable]]'') to understand why the cleanup tags are required, especially (but not exclusively) the following sections:

: '''{{section link|WP:TECHNICAL|Avoid overly technical language|nopage=y}} '''
::''Main guideline: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Technical language|Technical language]] in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]''
:: '''Use jargon and acronyms judiciously.''' Explain technical terms and expand acronyms when they are first used. In addition, you might consider using them sparingly thereafter, or not at all. Especially if there are many new terms being introduced all at once, substituting a more familiar English word might help reduce confusion (as long as accuracy is not sacrificed).
:: '''If no precision is lost, use common terms instead of technical terms'''. Substitute technical terms with common terms where they are completely equivalent.
:: '''Consider prefacing explanatory sentences with caveats.''' When a less complete or precise explanation is given to improve clarity, preface it with a phrase such as "Generally..." or "With some exceptions.." so the reader knows that there is more complexity behind the explanation. Follow the brief explanatory sentence(s) with more detail, or include a "robust definition" section so that the article as a whole is complete and precise. 
:: '''Eliminate long strings of adjectives''', particularly technical adjectives.
:: '''Use short sentences when possible.''' Comprehension decreases dramatically when sentence length exceeds 12 words. However, using too many short sentences in a row becomes monotonous; vary sentence length to maintain reader interest.
:: '''Use more verbs to improve readability'''{{snd}} you can replace many technical adjectives with verbs.
:: '''Use language similar to what you would use in a conversation.''' Many people use more technical language when writing articles and speaking at conferences, but try to use more understandable prose in conversation.
:: '''Use analogies''' to describe a subject in everyday terms. Avoid far-out analogies. The best analogies can make all the difference between incomprehension and full understanding. However, [[WP:NOTTEXTBOOK|Wikipedia is not a textbook]], so analogies need to be written in an encyclopedic way and be [[WP:V|attributable]] to [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]. Extensive explanations without a specific source may constitute [[WP:NOR|original research]], or [[WP:SYNTH|original research by synthesis]].

and also (emphasis mine):

: '''{{section link|WP:TECHNICAL|Lead section|nopage=y}} '''
:{{see|Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)#Introductory text}}
:{{shortcut|WP:EXPLAINLEAD}}
:<span style="color:blue">'''It is particularly important for the first section (the "lead" section, above the table of contents) to be understandable to a broad readership.</span>''' Readers need to be able to tell what an article is about and whether they are reading the correct article, even if they don't already know the topic in detail. Those who are only looking for a summary or general definition may stop reading at the end of the lead. An understandable lead encourages readers to continue reading into the body of the article. 
:For these reasons, the lead should provide an understandable overview of the article. While the lead is intended to mention all key aspects of the topic in some way, '''<span style="color:blue">accessibility can be improved by only summarizing the topic in the lead and including the technical details in the body of the article</span>'''. The lead of the article should tell a general reader the field of study of the topic, the place the topic holds in its field of study, what (if anything) the topic is good for, and what needs to be learned first in order to understand the article.  
:In general, <span style="color:blue">'''the lead should not assume that the reader is well acquainted with the subject of the article.</span>''' For highly specialized topics where it is difficult to give an overview in terms with which a general audience will be familiar, it may be reasonable to assume some background knowledge in the lead while linking to the prerequisites required to understand it.

With this in mind, and due to the obvious and numerous ways in which the article's lead section is currently not fit for purpose (which I have enumerated on the talk page if you would like further clarification), please restore the cleanup tags I appended to the article (or if you think a different cleanup template would be more appropriate, of course add that instead).

== Removal of the word "sovereigns" ==

Hello,

I removed the word "sovereigns" because there was a sign of so-called failed verification on the same statement in [[State law (United States)|state law]], not added by me, and I took it away from there too. I don't know that much about your legal system except for what I may've found about it so far but "sovereigns" in regard of the states sounds at least misleading and neither the law nor the article about the law referenced contain a mention of terms like this one. Maybe you've got an argumentation why it should be used, along with this source. I looked up an article that indeed discusses this issue, so it doesn't seem decisive, at least in American reception. I don't agree with its comment on the further formation events of the European Union in the introduction. Apart from that, not an uncommon position is that no part of a country can be sovereign.

Don't tag people when you make inconsequential adjustments to stuff they wrote half a year ago. I'm not sure if you think anyone appreciates it, but I certainly don't. That's what watchlists are for.

== Edit-summary snark ==

Thanks for correcting my factual error, which was hardly "[[Special:Diff/1069206871|bizarre]]". I was copyediting the article (as requested) for the [[WP:GOCE|Guild of Copy Editors]] and the prose was, frankly, less than comprehensible; checking every single source to figure out what an editor was trying to say is above my pay grade. The article badly needed a copyedit to be promoted to FA (which it was shortly afterwards), and I did my best as always. Please AGF, even (especially?) [[WP:SUMMARYNO|in edit summaries]].

Good faith content disputes are ''never'' vandalism. False accusations of vandalism amount to harassment and disruptive editing. Please refrain from disruptive editing in the future. Use the various forms of [[WP:DR|Dispute resolution]] going forward, instead of making false accusations of vandalism. Consider this a formal warning.

== Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday ==

Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out [[meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup]].

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.

== “Conflict of interest” page ==

On 9th December 2008, this user left a comment on the “conflict of interest” page, stating that the article was a mess. The comment stated that “a bunch of idiots with no formal training in philosophy” had made a mess on the article. However, this is somewhat misguided. On Wikipedia, it is essential that formal edits must be balanced against informal ones, so as to avoid jargon. To demand that editors have “formal training” in philosophy goes against Wikipedia’s editing guidelines. Now, make no mistake. This user makes overwhelmingly positive contributions on the whole. We as the Wikipedia community are enormously grateful to have this user among our ranks. However, this specific edit back in 2008 is somewhat confusing.

== Before cinematography Animation ==

(Hundreds of years before the introduction of true animation, people all over the world enjoyed shows with moving figures that were created and manipulated manually in puppetry, automata, shadow play, and the magic lantern)

This above text is mentioned in the animation history section of the article. which refers to shadow play and puppet show as an initial attempt to make animation. In fact, the authors do not mean the shadow play as an animation, but only refer to the initial actions. The paintings found on the cup that burned in the city are not animations. We are talking about 5000 years ago. But these drawings are the first step to make animation. If I am not mistaken, five images of a goat are drawn in different positions, when we rotate the cup 360 degrees, we can see the movement of this goat. The same idea was used in the creation of the first real animations, such as ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'', and this work was created. I hope that in this article you will allow us not to call it  the first real animation, but the first attempt at animation or the first idea for making animation.

* '''propose changes''' on the [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] of affected articles (you can use the {{tl|edit COI}} template);
* '''disclose''' your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI}});
*'''avoid linking''' to your organization's website in other articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming}});
*'''do your best''' to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|content policies]].

== Another crank at [[common law]] ==

Dear Coolcaesar --

Another maleditor is messing with [[common law]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Common_law&action=history]  This one isn't one of the cranks with an axe to grind (trying to rewrite back to the mid-19th century), but still doesn't know what he's talking about, and doesn't appreciate what's important and what isn't.  Some of the additions are plausible, but most of the cuts/edits reflect lack of appreciation of the nuances and lack of expertise.

I haven't ever requested an intervenor or arbitrator -- for example, a couple years ago, I just let Qexigator get it all out of his system, and then reverted it all.  I don't have the energy to do another war of attrition.  What should we do?

Thanks

== common law ==

I don't mind your reinstating "significant" to modify "influence" in [[Benjamin N. Cardozo]]; it is not important to me. I do mind, however, your insulting tone. I spent 34 years as a lawyer before I retired, and I do not have "a fundamental lack of understanding of how the common law works." As I explained when I deleted "significant," "If he's remembered for his influence, then it goes without saying that the influence was significant." "All attorneys and judges whose work results in a published opinion" are not "remembered" for having influenced the development of the common law. "Remembered" as used here means "famous" (at least in legal circles); all attorneys and judges whose work results in a published opinion are not famous for having influenced the development of the common law. Furthermore, your statement isn't even true. Some attorneys and judges whose work results in a published opinion do not influence the development of the common law, because the published opinion may address solely the interpretation of a statute. I suppose you could call decisions that interpret statutes the "common law" of such statutes, but please don't, because that would be misleading. I suggest that, instead of assuming that someone who sees things differently from you is ignorant, consider that there might be other ways to see things.

== US at Harvard Law ==

I note that you changed the Infobox addition I made to our law school [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harvard_Law_School&diff=prev&oldid=1274132947 here] that I had just made referencing [[MOS:US]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harvard_Law_School&diff=prev&oldid=1274033222 here]. You stated, "This is a law school. In formal written American English, it's U.S." I'm not sure what a law school has to do with using "US" but, as a fellow attorney, I would expect you to be guided by Wikipedia precepts. As [[MOS:US]] reads, "Multiple American style guides, including ''The Chicago Manual of Style'' (since 2010), now deprecate U.S. and recommend US. For commonality reasons, use US by default when abbreviating...". Maybe UCLA follows your dictate but, in addition to Wikipedia, I hope my Harvard Law would not want to use the depreciated U.S. on its Wikipedia page contrary to Wikipedia's style manual requirements for all English Wikipedia articles.

== Johns Hopkins slaveowner ==

Hi there, you had reverted an edit I made to the Johns Hopkins page about whether or not the founder was a slaveholder. I had relied on a preprint claiming there was no evidence he was. You reverted it because it was a preprint. Fair enough. But the original study my preprint was refuting has also not been published. It was referred to in an official email from the university saying that they would further study it but has not actually been published. Therefore I would like to remove the reference, ie, reimplement my change. What do you think? [[User:JeanHitaro|JeanHitaro]] ([[User talk:JeanHitaro|talk]]) 22:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

What's the point of their weird passive-aggressive, {{lang|la|ad hominem}} sniping that has nothing to do with the subject at hand?:
{{tqb|&bull; '''Do link''': This is one of the occasional issues on which I am in agreement with [[User:SMcCandlish]], despite our deep differences elsewhere.  I fully concur with User:SMcCandlish's argument on this issue.  We are talking about the [https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/07/the-completely-serious-decline-of-the-hollywood-comedy/373914/ most valuable film genre in the world].  Of course it should be linked.

I'd like to suggest you try something I have been cultivating in my own activity here: pay no attention at all to user names (just respond to ideas or statements on their own merits); forget a username as soon as possible if one sticks in your mind for a bit; and do not hold grudges. It's not 100% achievable, because certain parties can make years-long pests of themselves in a [[WP:IDHT]] manner, pushing the same failed approaches over and over again in hopes of finally getting what they want (i.e. the [[WP:CIVILPOV]] problem). But it works most of the time. E.g., I have no recollection of whatever prior issue(s) between us you seem to be dwelling on, and this has the benefit (to everyone) that if I encounter you proposing something, I will address that proposal based on the rationales for it not on my personal like or dislike of you. A day or so from now, I probably won't associate "Coolceasar" with this thread, either, having no reason to retain a mental record of username-to-drama correspondences. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''']] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] 😼 </span> 18:12, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I think you're misinterpreting what's been said with your final statement. ''All'' people with doctorates are perfectly entitled to be addressed as "Dr" [Foo]. Nobody is disputing that. But people with non-medical doctorates are not generally referred to as "doctors" in any country. That term is generally reserved for medics (who, ironically, in the Commonwealth don't usually actually hold doctorates!). You wouldn't usually say about someone with a PhD "he's a doctor"; you'd say "he's got a doctorate". -- [[User:Necrothesp|Necrothesp]] ([[User talk:Necrothesp|talk]]) 16:43, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
