"Every edit, especially bold ones, is disruptive. Disruptive just means changing the status quo and because Wikipedia is in a constant state of evolution, it is in a constant state of disruption ..."

"[The] readers will not be privy to the massive undercurrents of dross that underpins WP. They require well written, well sourced, encyclopaedic material that can inform, enlighten and satisfy their interest."

"We live a time when criticism, especially here on Wikipedia, is considered to be a personal attack, which is at the root of this nonsense. Yet without criticism we can't improve."

Don't call names, you pribbling fool-born coxcomb!

You have been noticed using opprobrious epithets. It's payback time from the Shakespeare Insult Generator! To activate the Insultspout and receive fresh insults, click here. Note that all insults generated by the Spout are guaranteed literary and cultured, unlike the nasty things you said, you surly bat-fowling dewberry.

FAC Mentor

Good day! I was wondering if you'd be willing and able to perhaps provide a bit of mentorship and guidance with my first FA nomination. Back when I put the Perry County, Tennessee article up for GA status, a reviewer suggested it was potentially nearing FA status. Comparing it to the only US county article with FA status (Warren County, Indiana), I feel like it's pretty much there. However, I've been working on evolving at this article for so long now that I might be looking at it through rose-colored glasses, and would appreciate any feedback or advice in getting it across the finish line. I've started off by submitting it for peer review, since the last review was done over a year ago for the GA nomination. Thanks! nf utvol (talk) nf utvol (talk) 15:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

November thanks

Thank you for improving article quality in November! - Vacation pictures offered if you click on songs, and my story is a DYK hook from 13 years ago OTD: about the great music at one of my churches. Mozart's Requiem to come on Sunday, - I bet you'd come if it was a bit closer. Perhaps watch the video of our last production, our first on yt, ever. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:15, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
