Hi, what tool do you use to add the delsort notices such as "Note: This discussion has been included in..." at ]? I'm designing a bot, and I noticed that most notices have the "class=delsort-notice", but some don't. Yours don't have the class attribute. Trying to understand the variation. ] (]) 01:56, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

== A barnstar for you! ==
Hi GiantSnowman, I noticed that you used a script to change the date format in access dates (]). While I am not opposed to that edit since it doesn't really change much and is not a big deal, I was wondering if I misunderstood the MOS; the script is meant to fix ] issues but that guideline states that {{tq|Access and archive dates in an article's citations should all use the same format, which may be: the format used for publication dates in the article (see above); the format expected in the citation style adopted in the article; or yyyy-mm-dd}} (under the consistency section), then gives an example of {{tq|Jones, J. (20 September 2008) ... Retrieved 2009-02-05.}} being valid. So in my view I didn't see an issue with the existing dates in the article, but evidently the script did. Can you confirm if it was an issue or not? (The main reason I'm asking is because I used that format when referencing for several other articles as well and will change it if it is an issue.) Thanks, ] ] 19:03, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Over 1 month ago, a Bosnian-based user asked me to create a couple of Bosnian footballers (]) (notice the phrasing "I saw you made 167 new Misplaced Pages's for football players"); he has been blocked since then. Today, a user has asked me to create two Bosnian players pages (]), again with the same exact phrasing ("I saw you made 166 new Misplaced Pages's for football players"). I think it's pretty much obvious that we are dealing with a block evasion here. ]] 11:47, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Nice to meet you, have some images

I hope our disagreement on Talk:Carol and Eric Hafner is settled. Meanwhile, as a sign of appreciation of your contributions in general (you're a very active admin!), I found some free licensed images to illustrate your articles. I do that occasionally.

Hope you like. --GRuban (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the images - but no, it's not settled. GiantSnowman 19:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
OK, let me see what you said there and figure out the next steps. I think I found an image of Ratking (group) - not great, but better than nothing, about as good as the image currently on Wiki (rapper). This is as much as anything a reminder to myself to actually upload it while doing the former! --GRuban (talk) 20:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Not very good depictions, I'm afraid. I'd still put in one or two of them into the article, on the grounds that they're still better than nothing, but if you don't agree, I won't insist on it. --GRuban (talk) 00:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
I think they're good enough to include (in particular images 2 or 4?) - thanks! GiantSnowman 16:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Put two in. May keep looking for more. --GRuban (talk) 20:19, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Seth Burkett
Found one for Seth Burkett, and that's all for User:GiantSnowman/DYK. I clicked through some of the many, many links on Homosexuality in association football, and most of those have (better) images already. --GRuban (talk) 20:38, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Wow, good work! GiantSnowman 21:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
