Hi there, welcome to my talk page! Feel free to drop me a message if you wish to discuss anything! I like to keep a clean talk page, so I may move your comment to a new section, indent it, or archive it after a week or so.

I replied again. Was offline a couple days due to eye surgery (had one eye done a month ago, the other this past week). Amazing how removing cataracts and the lens implant just is near-miraculous! Anyway, sorry you are getting dragged into this endless debate, but you are doing a good job of gathering information and trying to be neutral and fair, so thank you. Montanabw^(talk) 19:53, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed a new paragraph. Would appreciate some firm opinions at this point. Just put over an hour into that paragraph, cross-checking sources and such. Getting fatigued and frustrated - this editing dispute has been going on for over a month now across two articles and nothing has changed. I am quite exhausted and dealing with all these dramas is sapping my energy for actually working on the legitimate content issues that would be good to improve at the Mustang article. I have helped on a couple dozen FACs in various ways (I claim "substantial contribution" to 17 of them) so I really do know what I'm doing here, I am perfectly capable of collaboration (just ask User:Wehwalt) but I am getting very, very tired of being The Little Red Hen and doing all the work on this one. Montanabw^(talk) 23:35, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Montanabw: I appreciate your willingness to collaborate and I have no doubt that you have put a lot of effort into this, however my job is to be an impartial mediator to help you two resolve your dispute, not to provide significant input myself. I want this to be resolved as much as you do and I'm trying to help that, and if it comes to it I'll start offering more suggestions. Hope your eye is okay! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:39, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The eyes are doing well. I am done arguing with Wysong; there is no movement happening, anything I propose, she has to have it her way, I have compromised, I have changed content, I have instructed her, tried to explain to her about how to edit wiki, explained why her style of "expert foo says endless long quote" is not good style, and frankly, I have had it. It's been a month. If you have anything useful to say that can break the impasse I am all for it - so far I think I have done everything you have asked. Montanabw^(talk) 23:48, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cheeseburger for you!

Odell Beckham Jr.

Hi, I was in the process of reverting an edit on this article when you accepted it. The edit basically messed up the formatting of the Infobox and other sections plus the source cited was not done correctly at all. I would have gone back and fixed it, but I'm leaving in its previous state. When you're reviewing edits, please scroll down and check the result before accepting. Regards, --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 21:24, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Scalhotrod: Thanks! I didn't mean to do that, in fact I thought I'd just left it up on my screen without doing anything, anyways sorry and thanks! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 21:35, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, but be careful about having the screen open if you're not reviewing it. I found that a stray hit of the "enter" key approves it even if you did not intend to. --Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 21:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh really? I wasn't aware of that, good to know! Thanks again! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 21:40, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

Hi Kharkiv07, You reviewed this draft and expressed some concern about the notability. I went and reviewed the book notability guidelines, which you posted a link to. I think that Isaac's Storm qualifies under the first guideline, as it has been reviewed and featured by the NY Times, the Washington Post, and some other major newspapers. Do I need to add something like that to the article? Any help would be appreciated. --No.1utfan (talk) 03:35, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@No.1utfan: Hey! Why not just included those in the references and/or external links? Do that and drop me a message and I'll see about approving it! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 03:41, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kickstarter

I'm seriously confused as to why you are denying that a Kickstarter campaign that is CLEARLY DOCUMENTED occurred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.95.34 (talk) 23:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@98.193.95.34: I'm not and never have made a comment on if it existed or not, it's just negative information that was never properly supported. This is a violation of every single policy on WP:BLPSOURCES. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:15, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 98.193.95.34 (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@98.193.95.34: Hmmm, did you file a report against me? I don't see it, if you want to go to that page and create a new report... or see mine at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Jordis_Unga. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:39, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again K. The IPs report was malformed but it now exists here Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Kharkiv07 reported by User:98.193.95.34 .28Result: IP blocked.29. Fortunately the boomerang was swift. I notice that the article just came off page protection. Don't hesitate to ask for it again should the problems continue. Thanks again for your vigilance and have a great weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 00:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

General vandalism notice

sorry it was an acsedent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.95.191.105 (talk) 22:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, as long as it doesn't happen again there's no problem! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 22:46, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism accusations

Hey, about my alleged vandalism to Ahecht's home page: all I did was unsubscribe to notifications. Let me know if there's a less invasive way to do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strnbrg59 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Strnbrg59: Hey, your edit here added a speedy deletion tag, which essentially requests an administrator to delete the page, which would be out of line in this instance. I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to accomplish, but I'm assuming it's removing the page from your watchlist. To do that you go to the page, and a few places over from the "search" box in the top right you'll see a blue star. Click that blue star, and that should remove it. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:04, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kharkiv07: There must be a bug in the wikimedia software. All I did was uncheck the "Watch this page" box and press "save". But of course I'll use the blue star method from now on. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strnbrg59 (talk • contribs)

@Strnbrg59: Hmmmm.... I'll look into it. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:28, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cupcake for you!

Haha thanks! It's an interesting experience for my first case, but I think it's a good one. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 22:57, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft: Grishko

Hi Kharkiv07, I was just checking up on my page and noticed that you had taken a look at it a little while ago, but it's still pending review. I was wondering if you could take a look at it and review it if you have a moment. I think that I have complied with all of the requests of the reviewers and am hopeful this time. :) Thanks! Aspaef (talk) 17:01, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Aspaef: I'll take a look! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 23:05, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DRN case

Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971.23Article Improvement will go into archiving status on April 2, which means that it will be automatically archived if there's not at least one edit on it during any 24-hour period. Since it looks like you're making progress there — and thank you for that — you might want to change the "Do not archive until" date in the section header to April 9th or thereabouts to keep that from happening. Though it's your call as the handling volunteer, the "quick and simple" premises on which DRN is built suggest that cases shouldn't be extended unless progress is being made, so it would be best if you didn't extend it much more than that at first and then reconsider extending it by another week at a time as needed so long as progress is being made. (On the other hand, you can leave it as it is and tell the disputants that you do not care to extend it so as to keep them talking, or some combination of the two.) Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 14:52, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 17:17, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh god, just kill it. We are circling the same issues endlessly. Montanabw^(talk) 21:59, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another DRN case

It appears to me that there are several other editors involved in the discussion at Elm Guest House who perhaps ought to be included and notified, unless there is some reason to believe that they will simply go along with whatever is worked out between these two editors without any ongoing input from the others. Ghmyrtle, Alarics, Gareth E Kegg, Kind Tennis Fan, and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi jump out at me. It's your call, but we generally don't take cases at DRN unless we can get everyone involved who is needed to stop the dispute at the talk page. If you've already considered this, please forgive this nosy intrusion in your case. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 20:47, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TransporterMan: It seems that Ghmyrtle is the only one that's extremely active in the discussion, and I'll send him a message that it's open, the others don't seem extremely involved and have only made a comment here or there but I'll look into adding them. Sorry I'm still getting use to this! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 20:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave a notice on the talk page if any of those others want to. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 20:59, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2015 Menulog.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what source I can use for this, as it's observable on the website itself. If you have any tips how I can make this a legitimate entry I would definitely appreciate it. Cheers, ~Fohan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fohan (talk • contribs) 03:29, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure exactly what you're referencing... sorry I do a lot of edits, care to elaborate? Sorry! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 03:33, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I think I've figured it out. There is a reddit thread talking about it. Will that do? Fohan (talk) 03:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I really am sorry, I can be a bit clueless, but I'm not 100% sure what we're talking about... Kharkiv07 ^Talk 03:38, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All good. I've added a reference. I hope it's ok. Thanks. Fohan (talk) 03:43, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome... I guess? Well, come back here if you need anything else! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 03:46, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PONY!

Haha, deserved or not, thanks! Besides, it's 100x better than getting a kitten, right? Kharkiv07 ^Talk 04:38, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And what's wrong with kittens, may I humbly ask? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:17, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UP protection

I can semi-protect your user page if you decide that's what you want. Just ping me.– Gilliam (talk) 18:31, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Gilliam: I was reallllllly hoping it wouldn't come to that, but I think it may be time. Thanks! Kharkiv07 ^Talk 18:33, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done– Gilliam (talk) 18:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RPP stats

I saw your comment on RfA about "only 8 requests to RPP" - just out of interest, is there a script to generate statistics? I seem to be using RPP more this year than ever - I've got no idea why IP users are so keen to rename one of Haim (band) to "slab", but they are. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:17, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Ritchie333: Unfortunately no, I did it the old fashion way, went to the user's contribs, and limited it to edits in the Wikipedia namespace. They didn't have a ton so it didn't take long to count. Though if you find one I'd love to hear about it, since they don't keep a full archive it's extremely hard. Kharkiv07 ^Talk 13:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly it should be named slab though, going to move it right now.

If I had time (hah!) I could probably write something using Pywikibot (would make a change from having a nostalgic rummage through the 30 year old disassembly for Technician Ted's loading system on the ZX Spectrum ... don't ask). The hard part is matching up requests to actions - on at least one occasion I added to RPP then reverted as I discovered completely rewriting the paragraph under dispute solved the problem once and for all.
