Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).

This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 19 years, 1 month and 22 days.

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

Awards

I've an Awards page, where I keep a list of Misplaced Pages awards bestowed upon me.

Nomination of Christine Fang for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Christine Fang is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Christine Fang until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Odd addition?

If I understood how to add Henry III and Alexandra to the family tree conventionally, I would have done that. Unless the nudge is there what will get someone who DOES know how to do it? 96.250.80.27 (talk) 00:41, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

@96.250.80.27: if you don't know how to add Henry Ford III to the family tree? I suggest you wait & less someone else do it. GoodDay (talk) 00:42, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

The wait might be interminable if there is no way to spread the word that somebody needs to do it.96.250.80.27 (talk) 01:03, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Surtsicna knows how to accomplish what you're attempting. GoodDay (talk) 01:06, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

And would love too, but that topic first needs a good quality source. Surtsicna (talk) 08:21, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

The freep.com link I provided is not a good enough source? (The company press releases also exist but the Freep was the one that dated HF III's 41st birthday as after the board election and before the article). 96.250.80.27 (talk) 21:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Governors

Yes, the more advanced ones have had them removed. I haven't really worked on any past Florida, I intend to get back on this project. --Golbez (talk) 14:24, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Cool. GoodDay (talk) 14:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Trump current consensus

Please read and follow the instructions, and don't remove prior discussion links when you add new ones to the consensus list, as you did here. The prior giant discussion covered a lot more than just the wikilinking, and it's part of the record. {{u|Sdkb}}  21:52, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@Sdkb: I don't understand you. The RFC was closed in favour of Option A. GoodDay (talk) 22:04, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

If I have to spell it out for you, you shouldn't be editing the current consensus list ("edit with extreme caution" is there for a reason). The instructions state that Since items will not be inserted or removed, the use of # for automatic numbering is not needed. For clarity in the record, each number should refer to one and only one consensus, forever. When adding a new consensus point to this section please include the link to its relevant discussion(s) so that other editors can independently verify that the given point is a consensus based point. The prior discussion at Talk:Donald Trump/Archive 134#Lead sentence proposal is still relevant because it establishes everything about the first sentence apart from the wikilinking. Therefore, don't remove it; add the more recent one in addition and note that it modifies the prior discussion. {{u|Sdkb}}  22:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

You could've done that. No big worry, I shall do it. GoodDay (talk) 22:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@Sdkb:, and so it's been done. GoodDay (talk) 22:31, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

I've joined the party

Hi! I see that we are both part of a very non-exclusive group of people who KidAd has been bullying. Oh, the joys of Misplaced Pages. Matza Pizza (talk) 05:27, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Haha. Yeah, he can be a tad stubborn, at times. GoodDay (talk) 14:15, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to a RfC on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Elections and Referendums

Hi GoodDay, I would like to invite you to a RfC started by me on RfC: Convention for House of Representatives special elections in the United States. Please leave your suggestions if you're inclined to. (You are receiving this message because CX Zoom spotted you on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Elections and Referendums and thinks that you'll be interested to participate in the RfC.) Thanks! ---CX Zoom(/_him) (|_contribs) 16:09, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk

Please read wp:talk article talk pages are for discussing improvements to That (and only That) article. They are not for general discussion about the topic or Misplaced Pages.Slatersteven (talk) 15:41, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@Slatersteven: I'm pointing out why, there are a lot of disputes over the content at Donald Trump & now at Joe Biden. In today's US news media, there are no unbiased reporting. GoodDay (talk) 15:46, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Which is violating talk page policy, it is not for discussing why it happens. It is only for discussing improvements (see also wp:soap). If you have an issue with Neutrality take it WP:NPOVN, if you have an issue with reliability take it to wp:rsn. It is not (however) what the article talk page is for.Slatersteven (talk) 15:51, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Why would I waste time in any of those areas. The majority of editors, who have American politics as an interest, tend to be pro-Democrat. GoodDay (talk) 15:53, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Because that is what policy says, you do not use article talk pages as a wp:forum to air your grievances (I also suggest you read wp:npa). This is now a warning, not advice. If you continue to use article talk pages as a forum I will report you.Slatersteven (talk) 15:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

I've haven't commented at the discussion at the Biden article, since your complaint. If you want to 'hat' or 'censure' or whatever that discussion, go ahead. PS - Your growing aggressive approach towards me, is quite uncomfortable. GoodDay (talk) 16:07, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Expansion draft

Sorry, I got a little hasty. The news reports say that Giordano will be selected. My bad. --Kevin W. - Talk 16:37, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Not a big prob @Kevin W.:. He'll likely be chosen, anyway :) GoodDay (talk) 16:39, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Use of `Windsor` in lede on Elizabeth II

Would you mind explaining the rationale for dropping that from the lede section? A link to the RFC mentioned would be helpful as well. Earl of Arundel (talk) 01:49, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Howdy @Earl of Arundel:, look up Archive 41, the entire RFC is there, to read. Take some meds, before you read it all. GoodDay (talk) 01:54, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Right, well in the meantime you may want to follow your own medical advice there! Seriously, as far as I am concerned the question of whether or not to include this in the lede is very much still very much up for debate. I would however like to hear what others have to say about it before pressing the issue any further. So for the time being at least I'll just leave it at that... Earl of Arundel (talk) 04:12, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

@Earl of Arundel: you may want to open up a discussion, concerning all the British monarchs after George V, not to mention Elizabeth II's descendants & cousins. There's inconsistency in the intros & infoboxes, concerning this topic. GoodDay (talk) 04:15, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

I really don't understand what you're so upset about. GoodDay (talk) 04:50, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay, I'm not upset. I don't take discussions on Misplaced Pages personally. I think you're a great contributor, and we've been on the same side of many important issues before. But I will argue for what I think is best for the project. ― Tartan357  04:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, by all means make your arguments at the RFC. Nobody's stopping you from doing so. But you can't force editors to agree with you, there 'or' here. GoodDay (talk) 04:58, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay, if you respond to my comment, I will respond to you. You and I have made a similar number of comments in that discussion. ― Tartan357  05:00, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

We already know each others stance on this issue & that neither of us is going to budge. Going in circles, is pointless. GoodDay (talk) 05:04, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I have a hard time ignoring a comment that I perceive to be a non-sequitur, I'll admit. I think disagreeing with the underlying logic behind JOBTITLES is perfectly reasonable and I respect that position. I think sticking to that would be more effective. But I will not respond to your comments anymore if you don't wish me to. The DS alert is just an insurance policy, BTW. I give them to anyone I get into a long enough discussion with. And I self-alert. ― Tartan357  05:10, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

But hey, I do apologize for getting so intense. It's something I'm passionate about. I know it sounds silly but it's true. I don't want any hard feelings. ― Tartan357  05:17, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

You can contact me 'here', whenever you wish. Though, I did find the 'Big notice', rather over-the-top. PS - Don't let your passions for any topic, get the better of you. It's a hard lesson that I learned, years ago. GoodDay (talk) 05:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

GoodDay, yes, it probably was over-the-top. I'm sorry. ― Tartan357  05:21, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Will Canada ever become a republic?

Will ya? Champion1997 (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Sure wish it would. But most Canadians aren't even aware that their country is a constitutional monarchy or that Elizabeth II is the monarch/head of state. GoodDay (talk) 22:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Hey

Just thought I'd pop over and tell you I appreciate your good sense. I don't think we are going to change consensus on the capitalisation thing. However, if they start to change capitalisations of infobox headings and article titles themselves, I think they would be against consensus. I assume that won't happen, but if it does then let me know and we will need to start an RFC. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 22:09, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

It's going to eventually happen, IMHO. GoodDay (talk) 22:09, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

If/when it does let me know. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 22:12, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Okie doke. GoodDay (talk) 22:19, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
