Editor conflict[edit]
I have been adding more current photos I’ve taken of subjects and places in Sheboygan but User:Mrschimpf has reverted several of those edits, falsely claiming I’m some such of competitor in local media in Sheboygan which I don’t own any interests in media publishing in Sheboygan County. In one edit on Shoreline Metro, my photo of a bus in service was removed because he claimed permissions were questionable and the photo was posed. Then there is the challenge of updating the photo on Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Asher Heimermann (talk

You declined this draft, but I made changes to it that I think solved the initial issue. If you could take another look and give me some feedback I would be appreciative. Thanks for your time. WUH34 (talk) 4:45, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
help with vandalism[edit]
Since November 16, 2022, a user who is not logged in, just identified by their IP address has been adding information to the San Antonio FC page that has no sources to back it up with. Specifically they are adding a player to the roster when there is no evidence on the internet, either by the club, league, or anywhere else that this transaction has occurred. I have undone the edit multiple times but they keep adding it back. Please assist.
1/13/23 - The vandalism is occurring again. Would you be able to ban the IP addresses that are adding the incorrect information? TYIA
Hello, I hope you're doing well. The topic "Fursat" has 2 single and a short film. The timeline is described below:-
- Fursat - 2016 -> Fursat (song) - primary topic
- Fursat Hai Aaj Bhi - 2020 -> currently redirect to Fursat (song)
- Fursat (short film) - 2023 -> currently redirect to Fursat - secondary topic
Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 12:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Genie (film) moved to draftspace[edit]
Thanks for your contributions to Genie (film). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because It is an unreleased film.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- The only thing I ever did was pull it out of categories when it was in draftspace the first time, before the page creator moved it into mainspace. So what's this got to do with me at all? Bearcat (talk) 19:03, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Plastique Tiara[edit]
At this point I'm bothered that Plastique Tiara doesn't have an entry. She clearly qualifies but this page is stuck in protection limbo. I just want the ability to work on the bio again, with the article history preserved, whether that's in the draft space or the main space. Since you've weighed in before, can you please help determine the best path forward? Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

LGBT categories[edit]
Hi again! I see you add LGBT-related categories to biographies of living people, which is great, except sometimes the entry's prose does not actually confirm the subject's sexual preference or gender identity. Sure, we can assume most drag queens are LGBT, but this is not always the case. Part of me thinks this is no big deal, but part of me thinks we should not be adding LGBT-related categories unless sources and an article's prose warrant category inclusion. Curious if you have any thoughts. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Org website as acceptable primary source[edit]
Hi Bearcat. Thanks for your work editing the Hannah Green (poet) article. I notice that in this edit you removed the citation for Green's editorship at CV2, which was the journal's own masthead page for being an unsuitable self-published primary source. According to the Wikipedia:PRIMARYSOURCE, that appears to be an acceptable use, which is elaborated on in Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources explanatory essay: "The organization's own website is an acceptable (although possibly incomplete) primary source for information about what the company says about itself and for most basic facts about its history, products, employees, finances, and facilities." and "The person's autobiography, own website, or a page about the person on an employer's or publisher's website, is an acceptable (although possibly incomplete) primary source for information about what the person says about themself. Such primary sources can normally be used for non-controversial facts about the person and for clearly attributed controversial statements."
If this was in any way a controversial statement this would not be a reliable source, but the self-published nature doesn't seem to me to be a problem in the case of this simple claim. If your complaint is that it's an inappropriate use of a self-published source for a claim about a third party, as per Wikipedia:BLPSPS, I think that the org's proximity to the subject (employing them) makes it no longer fully a third party source. Sorry for that wall of text, I'm just trying to understand what I did wrong. Thanks! Handpigdad (talk) 20:51, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
years in FRY categorization[edit]
Hi, I noticed you created category redirects like this yesterday, but that's supposed to be going the other way around per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_November_8#Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia? Is this some sort of a technicality to help the bot do the work of renaming, or? --Joy (talk) 10:03, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation, when I looked around a bit further, I observed the possible race condition and suspected this might have been the case :) --Joy (talk) 14:27, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
You know that templates can populate categories, right? When you remove the templates you can break other things. The file above was nearly deleted because you removed the license tag and VRT information just to get rid of the category. Instead of yelling in all-caps in an edit summary blindly reverting my replacement of the tag and VRT information, maybe you should have just gone to the template and removed the redlinked category that you found to be problematic.

Dear Bearcat, Just a quick question: You wrote in an edit summary that {{as of}} requires both year and month, but on the template description page it states that year is the only required parameter, and the example {{as of|2022}} is given. Why is that not good practice, and if it is not, shouldn't this be documented differently? Felix QW (talk) 06:48, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for flagging the issue! There was indeed a period mark behind the year, but within the template, and that messed up the categorisation. Felix QW (talk) 22:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
