This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my user talk page
Before posting, please read and follow the notes below.

  • For matters related to article content, "use the article's talk page" (most likely on my watchlist), or use the relevant Wiki project talk page (use these for questions, requests for help or advice, etc). That's the intended purpose of these pages and will get more attention from others. Out of place posts may be removed or moved to a more appropriate talk page. Leave me a note pointing me to a discussion if necessary. Please use this page only for personal and general comments.
  • Keep conversations together - I will reply to posts on the talk page where the conversation starts.
  • Do not take changes to your article edits personally. Note the warning on each edit screen: "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." I may revert unexplained (no edit summary) edits that appear unhelpful. To prevent this, provide edit summaries with understandable reason(s) to explain your intent or purpose.
  • Edits where cited text is changed may be reverted since that violates Misplaced Pages's WP:Verify policy. Please provide a reference with your changes.
  • Personal attacks will be removed. Unfair and improper criticism will be ignored or removed. Do your best to make your point without writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text. Excessively long posts will probably be ignored and removed to save space. Retaliatory warnings will be reported as harassment.
  • If your posts here are removed, please do not restore them for any reason.
  • Experienced editors are welcome to reply to posts here if they do so nicely. They are also welcome to remove vandalism or non-constructive posts. If I disagree, I'll simply restore them, so don't take that personally.
  • Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the bottom. Thanks.

Thanks

I literally 'laughed out loud' when I saw this. Cheers - wolf 23:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Yup. You can lead an user to a hidden note, but you can't make them read/follow it! BilCat (talk) 23:15, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Recent rollbacks

I noticed from the Department of Airports (Thailand) article that you recently reverted a whole bunch of edits by 2607:fea8:699b:b700:f912:9291:450c:da52, though most of them seemed unproblematic to me. Maybe you'd like to recheck the reversions? --Paul_012 (talk) 12:26, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

I reverted all this users edits per WP:DENY, as they are an LTA. They have since been range-blocked. Feel free to restore any of their edits that you believe are unproblematic. BilCat (talk) 22:17, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Hello BilCat: From high in the Canadian Arctic I hope you enjoy the holiday season, Quviasukvik, the Winter or Summer solstice, Christmas, Eid, Diwali, Hogmanay, Hanukkah or even the Saturnalia, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Misplaced Pages. Cheers, CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 06:53, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy new year and Bradley conundrum

I think you've already taken care of some people prematurely adding Ukraine to the list of Bradley operators on the M2 and Fighting Vehicle articles. I don't want to jump the gun and add anything to the bodies quite yet as the reports are fairly spotty, but I was hoping you could provide guidance on what we could say should we want to add anything. The best sources I've found are Bloomberg (who I believe broke the story) and The Hill (which leans on the Bloomberg reporting). Happy new year! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:28, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Happy New Year, BilCat!

Happy New Year!
