== Moonshine and Valentine ==
Hi tonyballioni,

Would you be able to restore this article? https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:New_user_landing_page&page=Moonshine+and+Valentine

Personally I find the Misplaced Pages pages for non-English shows (and movies!) like Moonshine and Valentine, very helpful because they explain both basics and details about the shows and can help people find out interesting information about actors, ratings, and the score and musicians that are often not easily accessible in English. Through my personal experience and that of many people I know who are also working on learning a foreign language, watching tv shows and movies, even relatively obscure ones, can be quite helpful. And Misplaced Pages pages like the one for Moonshine and Valentine can be a great resource for presentations or simply learning more information that we may not be able to understand by reading a foreign language or reading a google translated page (which can sometimes be more difficult \^o^/). Moonshine and Valentine was hardly an obscure show I'd imagine with popular stars like Victoria Song, Huang Jingyu and Li Shen and it's last episode (released on Tuesday) reaching over 2 billion views, so I'm sure this page will be getting more traction, especially since English subtitles are almost completed for the final 2 to 3 episodes. Is there any way to restore this page?

Thanks for your time! <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 06:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

And I remember patrolling a number of articles created by that user, which are mostly decently referenced articles about notable Chinese actors. It's a shame that the user turns out to be a sockpuppet of Boyhoodjams, but I feel it's a loss to Misplaced Pages to delete all their articles. Could you restore them to draft space or my user space so I can vet them again and make sure they're ok for publishing? Thanks a lot! -] (]) 18:57, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk page stalkers are free to respond to any edit made here. I'm fine with general discussion of issues related to Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia projects here, even if I don't respond. If you post here, I will reply here: I typically ping you in reply, but not always. To make sure you see a response, either watchlist this page or check back later.

A cheeseburger for you!

to go with the beer from Drmies. I've been away for a couple of years and on my return I'm dismayed to see that RfA has never changed its spots. I thought that the new monitoring policy was designed to reduce the toxicity, not stoke it. I stand by your comments and I'm glad to see you're still around. It's been a long time.

Thanks. I'm not nearly as active as I used to be, but do stop by from time-to-time. I was pretty surprised to see people think that oppose was a policy violation - I wasn't expecting to have so many edits today... TonyBallioni (talk) 01:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Good to see your plain speaking again TB. And you haven't lost the art of cutting to the chase. Kudpung's right though, WP:MONITOR is slowly—not yet, but gradually—looking like a tool for "civilty policing" rather than honest brokering. SerialNumber54129 11:30, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
The removal drew more attention to it than the comment would have gotten initially so there’s that. My bigger concern is that they’re just ignoring the emerging consensus that my comment didn’t violate any policy. I took it to their talk page and we’ll see how it goes. Not worth taking to AN, but a big enough concern that it’s worth asking about it on their talk. TonyBallioni (talk) 12:16, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I stand by you 100% too, btw. Therapyisgood (talk) 15:20, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Did you get an answer? SerialNumber54129 22:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Not yet, probably should follow-up in case they didn’t see the talk page message. TBallioni (talk) 22:30, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Serial Number 54129 Since you were curious. TBallioni (talk) 09:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Io Saturnalia!
