Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Stop adding {{See also}} to pages of suicides. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not dedicated to suicide prevention Dat GuyTalkContribs 08:20, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

@DatGuy:: Hi, my apologies for my edits! I was trying to be helpful, definitely didn't think that what I was doing was vandalism! I was going off of a discussion in the talk page for the Wikipedia article on Suicide, where someone suggested adding these see also tags. I agreed and when no one else wrote anything after that, took that as a sign that it would be okay! I would still argue for the necessity of adding these entries to Wikipedia, but will defer to your judgement. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 06:20, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Information icon Hello, Likeanechointheforest. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Will Powers (doctor), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Spicy (talk) 17:44, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Possible areas for editing

Hi Likeanechointheforest,

I just commented on the AFD about the article you created, and I thought I would leave a note here; while I don't believe that the individual that article covers is notable, your stated goals for creating it are commendable. To help you meet them, could I suggest that you take a look at this WikiProject, WP:LGBT? You'll find a community of editors there dedicated to improving the coverage of LGBT topics, as well as hints on where you can contribute edits.

In particular, I would recommend looking at "Editing" tab, and then the start class articles. I can't guarantee that they all meet wikipedia's standards of notability, but they are likely to, and they are all in need of further development.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!

edit to Disclosure:_Trans_Lives_on_Screen

Hello! I reverted your edit to Disclosure:_Trans_Lives_on_Screen. You added a red link to the See Also section. You should create an article for Monsters in the Closet first. Also, be sure to use edit summaries with every edit: they are very helpful. Cheers! Doctormatt (talk) 23:57, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Edit summary

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

Thanks! Fettlemap (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Farmingdale High School

Notability is only of concern when deciding if something warrants an article. An incident does not need to be notable itself to warrant inclusion in an article. A fatal bus crash on a school outing is certainly worth mentioning, Meters (talk) 01:10, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I always thought notability meant there had to be both sources for the thing itself and sources that explained why it was important to the article. I also thought that single incidents were typically not notable enough for inclusion on pages. Would you happen to have links to essays/policies on these topics that reflect where I'm wrong? Genuinely, I would appreciate knowing. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 23:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
Read WP:N ("notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article.") and particularly WP:NNC {"The notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles."). Content does have to be verifiable, but that is not the same as being notable. Meters (talk) 00:15, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Jacob P on Group-IB

Hi Likeanechointheforest. Hope you had a pleasant festive season and a happy new year with your family and loved ones. Just wanted to check in on the status of the edits I've requested for Group-IB's page - you mentioned you'd be consulting with the wider community. How's that coming along? Please let me know if there's any information ro supporting evidence I can provide to back up the edits I would like made. Not sure if you received my responses in that Talk page, I thought I'd text you here. I'd appreciate any response or insight from you. Thanks, and have a great day ahead!

GoDigital Media Group

Hi Likeanechointheforest. You chipped in a while back on the GoDigital Media Group page regarding my COI request to update the list of subsidiaries. I was hoping you might also be interested in taking a look at this request to replace the "Background" section with a proper corporate history. I think this would help with the promotionalism issue you mentioned, because it would remove a lot of awards, name-dropping, and stuff like "We have a vision for..." while implementing a proper paragraph-style chronology of historical events. Would appreciate your input if you're willing. Best regards. Matthewjmt (talk) 21:20, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Interested in ASCAP request?

Hi Likeanechointheforest, I was wondering if you might be interested in taking a look at a request on the ASCAP Talk page I made given your past help with TJ Ducklo. This request regards a ringtone lawsuit. The sourcing currently used is primary, and I have suggested updated wording that uses third party sources and eliminates some odd tone issues to make the content more neutral overall. For full transparency, I also reached out to 3family6 about this request. They suggested I ask someone else as well, which brought me here. Thanks for your consideration. Cheers Stephanie BINK (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Likeanechointheforest, I wasn't sure if you had seen my response to your questions on the request I made for the ASCAP article/if you were still interested in taking a look. I'd appreciate your feedback if you are! Cheers Stephanie BINK (talk) 20:26, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Request to review MongoDB Inc Section

I work for NoSQL database company MongoDB Inc. In compliance with WP:COI, I suggested adding a "Software" section summarizing what the company does on the Talk page here. I saw that you handle a lot of COI situations and was hoping you might be willing to take a look at my request. ToniBirdOne (talk) 16:16, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Vladislav Doronin

Hi, Likeanechointheforest. We had been in touch on an Edit request I made on Vladislav Doronin's Talk page. I'd appreciate your reconsideration of the inclusion of this material. Thank you, Astraea2024 (talk) 20:46, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Likeanechointheforest, thank you again for your help on Vladislav Doronin's article a few weeks ago. I'd be grateful if you'd take a look at an earlier edit request, from 2024 which I believe was prematurely dismissed and closed by other editors. Your recent edits addressed the first bullet, but the extraneous details about other individuals remain in this BLP, and the resolution of the lawsuit is still not included. Grateful for your time and review, Astraea2024 (talk) 16:26, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Honestly think this is a pretty inappropriate request. There was a consensus reached and you're asking me to undo it Likeanechointheforest (talk) 17:07, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Likeanechointheforest, I sincerely meant no harm. To my understanding, two editors does not constitute a consensus. The request was made several months ago, and there was hardly a discussion of any kind; two editors dismissed the request without acknowledging the need to remove details that seem to have no place in Doronin's BLP. Again, it was not my intent to upset anyone or break any rules. I have been doing my best to follow protocol. Thank you, Astraea2024 (talk) 09:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Hock Tan Response

Hello, Likeanechointheforest. I just wanted to let you know that I responded to your question at the Hock Tan Talk page. Please let me know if this would be a good solution for adding clarity around Hock Ton's marriage to Lya Truong. BrianAtBroadcom BrianAtBroadcom (talk) 18:46, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

I'll look at this later this week! Likeanechointheforest (talk) 20:08, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello again Likeanechointheforest. Thank you for making the suggested updates. There are a few errors on the page now, though, that I'm hoping you can correct.
First, there's now a duplicated claim in the Personal life section, as the first sentence ("Tan divorced K. Lisa Yang and married Lya Truong") and the last sentence ("Tan and K. Lisa Yang divorced and Tan is now married to Lya Truong") say the same thing.
Second, the updated Philanthropy section contains a citation error. I think that's because one of the citations was cut off during the update.
I summarized these errors in greater detail on the Hock Tan Talk page. Could you take a look when you have a chance? BrianAtBroadcom (talk) 23:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
Yep! Fixed! Likeanechointheforest (talk) 00:47, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi there, Likeanechointheforest. I responded to your request about the citation error on the Hock Tan Talk page. Are you able to review? It's a small fix. BrianAtBroadcom (talk) 17:45, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I've been traveling - has it been answered? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 17:24, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
No, it has not. If you could fix this, that would be great! Thanks. BrianAtBroadcom (talk) 19:43, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
With the number of requests, it's actually a bit hard for me to see exactly which one you're referring to. Could you please link it? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 12:04, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
Apologies, Likeanechointheforest, upon further review it looks like another editor did fix the citation error, so that part of the request I posted is complete. But I'm still hoping that you or another reviewing editor can change the line "He married K. Lisa Yang" to "He married his first wife, K. Lisa Yang", as the former wording suggests an ongoing relationship. You can find this sentence in the Personal life section. Thank you. BrianAtBroadcom (talk) 19:46, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
Yep, on it! Likeanechointheforest (talk) 13:16, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

ASCAP request note

Hi Likeanechointheforest, I just wanted to see if you had any interest in revisiting this request for the ASCAP article. I think we are largely in agreement about how to move forward with the request and the language there. If not, I totally get it, and will likely post to WP:3O or WP:NPOV/N, as I do think that content in its current form creates an NPOV issue. Would love to know if you have any additional thoughts!

COI Request for Leena Nair

Hi there Likeanechointheforest!

A little while ago, you kindly made some changes and improvements to the Leena Nair article based on my suggestions on the Talk page. I can see since then further changes have been and the article has now been reviewed and fully cited following my suggestions. However, I’ve noticed that there is still a neutrality dispute banner in place.

As I have a conflict of interest and am not able to remove it myself, I would appreciate your thoughts on whether you feel it would now be appropriate to remove the banner. Thank you very much for considering this, and for your help with the article. Occasionalpedestrian (talk) 13:20, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Gartner hype cycle response

Hello, Likeanechointheforest. You left feedback on my Gartner hype cycle request a few weeks ago. I responded with an updated draft that includes some critical commentary from investor Michael Mullany. I'm hoping this addresses your concerns. Please let me know, thanks! BurcuAtGartner (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Replied! Likeanechointheforest (talk) 16:33, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Replied to your reply! I agree the LinkedIn post is not ideal, but it's currently cited multiple times in the article's Criticisms section. I'm trying to add more critical language to address your concerns and I'm not sure what else to do. The Examples section is blank right now with no content at all. Is there something in the draft I put together that can work? BurcuAtGartner (talk) 21:10, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Point72 page edits

Hi Likeanechointheforest, it's nice to meet you. I noticed you recently removed information from the Point72 Asset Management article about Point72 Academy. The information was added after the approval of a neutral editor (see here). As I understood it, the content was supported by a reliable source and gives further context to Point72 Academy. Given this, could the information be reinstated? Thanks! Mrsnewyork (talk) Mrsnewyork (talk) 14:05, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

I continue to think the info is a bit non notable Likeanechointheforest (talk) 13:50, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
Hi Likeanechointheforest, I would like to discuss this further. My understanding was that once there is press coverage by a source included in WP:RS, that information is notable according to WP:DEPTH. The Financial Times article covers Point72 Academy's recruitment of college graduates from Europe and Asia, and based on this, I believe it would meet the notability threshold. Thanks Mrsnewyork (talk) 15:20, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Garry Tan

Hello, thanks for helping improve the Garry Tan article sourcing recently. I appreciated your willingness to take a second look at it. Soon after, I posted another focused suggestion for the Politics section. However, I got a somewhat mystifying reply that it was "already done" and closed the request when in fact nothing had changed in the live article. The responding editor didn't explain, and has since gone quiet, so I re-opened the request. If you have a moment, would you mind taking a look at that one as well? As before, I’m happy to clarify anything or adjust wording if needed. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 14:55, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer granted

The temporary account IP viewer logo, composed of the Wikipedia globe with a user and an IP address

Hello, Likeanechointheforest. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

  • You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
  • Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

  • When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
  • Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
  • Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! Sohom (talk) 05:48, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Connected edits

Hi - thanks for helping with the connected edits. There's quite a backlog. I noticed that with this edit, you added information that's not in the source. The source says The billionaire founder and CEO of Fanatics, and board member for Rue Gilt Groupe..., but you added which includes RueLaLa.com, Gilt.com, and ShopPremiumOutlets.com, information not in the source. This source supports the composition of the group, but the convention is to have the lead summarize the article. There's nothing in the body of the article about him being on the board, and nothing about the groups that make up the holding company. I'd instead put the burden back on the requester, and ask them to first update the request to properly update the body first, and then request that the lead be changed to a summary of the article. Also, since the backlog is so long, please mark the items done so future volunteers don't have to spend time retracing their steps only to see that something was already done (although in this case it helped that I reviewed your edit.)

Seeking input on an article draft

Hi@Likeanechointheforest, I hope all is well. I was hoping you could provide some feedback on a draft that I recently proposed in AfC. It was rejected, but the reviewing editor did not leave any specifics as to why. I am happy to keep working on it, but I'd hope to determine if there are any general notability issues before I start working on the tone. If you had the time to review and provide some thoughts, it would be a big help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:AuditBoard

Thank you for your time. SBCornelius (talk) 17:05, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I have a couple ideas. First, the article feels to me like it was written by an LLM, or at least that the writing was assisted by an LLM, which would be against WP policy. Second, it has a largely very promotional tone. Third, the degree of detail with the minimal number of sources raises flags to me too, around notability. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 15:50, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
@SBCornelius editing for compliance with guidelines, I'm left with maybe something like this:
AuditBoard is a U.S.-based technology company that provides audit, risk, and compliance management software. Founded in 2014 by Daniel Kim and Jay Lee, the company is headquartered in Cerritos, California. In 2024, it was acquired by the private equity firm Hg in a deal valued at approximately $3 billion.
In 2024, the company received the Stratus Award for Cloud Computing from the Business Intelligence Group and was named Overall Risk Management Solution of the Year at the 2024 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards. In 2025, AuditBoard was included in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 for the seventh consecutive year, which recognizes rapidly growing technology companies in North America.
--
This would be a super stubby page, and given the small size of the page, I don't think a recognition section would even be reasonable, personally. Leaving just the first paragraph. My gut feeling here is that this is better served, for now, as a subsection in Hg (equity firm). Maybe if more coverage comes out regarding AuditBoard, it could then eventually be split into its own page. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 15:55, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
@Likeanechointheforest, thank you for the feedback. I'll work on it further and see if I can address your call-outs in a meaningful way. Thanks again! SBCornelius (talk) 18:33, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi Likeanechointheforest. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the permission will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback. Good luck and thanks! ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:53, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Recent edit on the Jay-Z article

I saw that you deleted the edit on the hotline claim on the Jay-Z article. I know it's a controversial topic but I think it should be added. The claim itself exists but the stuff in it may not and that should be added. High quality sources have documented this event like Variety (magazine) https://variety.com/2026/film/news/jay-z-harvey-weinstein-pusha-t-epstein-files-1236647297/ I think by deleting the information it puts a bias on the person. (I also think that if you said the facts in the claim are true is also a bias) Let me know what you think. Thank you - Wobs100 (talk) 16:09, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Wobs100, so something I think is particularly important on BLP pages, and particularly impactful on pages like this one that get so much traffic, is to be conservative in general, but especially with speculation where sourcing may exist but falls into a recentism bias; WP is not a newspaper. Per BLP standards, "it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist." I think we can keep the encyclopedic quality of the page highest and stick with conservative BLP standards by waiting to see whether other reporting comes out that verifies the claims, which in my opinion would move them from sensationalist to encylopedic. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
Oh ok, so it is a topic to wait and see still. As it is still controversial and the topic is misleading? I will remove the info I added for the Pusha T one. Wobs100 (talk) 18:13, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
Pretty much! Good rule of thumb is to take particular care away from sensationalism with biography of living persons pages Likeanechointheforest (talk) 19:04, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Description of Stripe, Inc. as "Irish-American"

Greetings, Likeanechointheforest! I work for Stripe, Inc. and have been watching and requesting updates to the article. I saw a recent edit where you removed the "Irish-American" description from the introduction. I'm curious if there is specific guidance on how to describe companies. Ideally, I would like to suggest reinstating the "Irish-American" description because Stripe is dual-headquartered (as noted in Silicon Republic) and several independent sources refer to Stripe as "Irish-American", including Financial Times, The Irish Examiner and Inc. I've seen similar descriptions used for other dual-headquartered companies. CianStripe (talk) 07:49, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

Personally, I'd stay away from epithets usually used to describe people when describing companies. Maybe, "Irish and American"? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 13:57, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Irish and American would work for me. Are you able to make that update, or should I create a separate edit request for it? Happy to do whatever works best. CianStripe (talk) 07:30, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of a page by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into George Kaiser Family Foundation. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Concern over inappropriate edit to BLP article

I've just performed an edit request on Ben Shapiro, removing an unsourced editorialization on a very sensitive topic. In this edit you turned "he claimed" into "he falsely claimed" with a "falsely" having a pipelink to the Gaza genocide, without adding a source to it and without the source cited at the end of the paragraph stating that it was a false claim.

While you are correct that his claim is false, I know that you know that being right isn't enough on BLPs, considering your editing experience with them, and this is especially true for something as sensitive as this that sits at the intersection of WP:CT/A-I, WP:CT/AP and WP:CT/BLP. I would urge you to resist the temptation to make any further edits like that, regardless of how infuriating some BLPs statements may be, or to otherwise refrain from editing in those topic areas so that you don't end up facing sanctions, which I think would be unnecessary and sad to see.

Kind regards. ⹃Maltazarian ᚾparley ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } {\displaystyle \lor }investigateᛅ 23:48, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey thanks, I wasn't aware this would be considered any kind of BLP violation, since the Wikipedia page I linked to is fully sourced. What would you suggest? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 09:53, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
My sincere apologies for incorrectly assuming you were aware. I would try to find some sort of different source for the whole thing (the currently linkee one is sketchy). Usually you would have to have a source specifically calling his opinion false to say that, but it seems like a WP:FRINGE claim. I'm not wholly sure. I have someone I can ask, I will get back to you and see what ideas I can come up with.
Again, I do apologize for my poor adherence to WP:AGF. ⹃Maltazarian ᚾparley ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } {\displaystyle \lor }investigateᛅ 10:44, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Old edit to Geena Davis Institute

Hi there. You made an edit on 12 October 2024 to article Geena Davis Institute described as "Implementing talk page edit requested by Special:Contributions/BINK_Robin".
