Polyester not a fabric

Re: removing Polyester from the List of Fabrics list: Why? It is a fabric, is it not? Johnnysama (talk) 15:43, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

No. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 16:10, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

I think I'll keep this for another month, it makes me laugh. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 07:58, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

something...

I thought about saying "Angry white male-ness?" Then I remembered that I'm an angry (mostly) white male. So then I thought about saying "Good-ole 'Murikan muleheadedness?" But then I realized I'm muleheaded, 'Murikan good-ole boy.

As you can imagine, I was starting to feel pretty confused at that point. But then I settled on "a fact-proof, self-centered POV" and realized that I don't have that. At least I hope I don't... ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 13:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I actually cannot remember if I took part in forming that consensus. I think not, as it doesn't enter into my life at all. It seems reasonable to me. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 16:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I’m afk same as last year.

I may respond from time to time, and will be back to services as usual within a week from now.

Note that I’m on an ipad and can’t be bothered to go through the ridiculous rigmaroles I need to do to corrupt that link.

Editing comments

The way your comment was formatted makes mine look like it's in reply to yours when it's actually in reply Blue Raspberry's. My formatting change to make it clear that I'm replying to Blue Raspberry. The way our comments are formatted differently gives the appearance that my comment is directed at someone it isn't actually directed at.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 10:15, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that. Fix your own comment, do not change mine. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

The formatting change was to make it absolutely clear that my comment was also in reply to Blue Rasberry and doesn't alter yours in any way. I added the bullet point because the way your comment is formatted affects the way mine is presented. Even if I change the formatting on my comment (I've already tested this out by removing the bullet point or removing the colon without saving the page), mine still doesn't convey that it's in reply to Blue Raspberry. Everyone else is using the bullet point before the colon. Please restore the bullet point because your formatting only makes things confusing.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

No. (add extra colons and remove the * to make your comment appear as you would prefer.) -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:44, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Actually, having had my second cup of coffee, I will fix it for you if you allow me to alter the formatting only of your post, if that would be OK with you? -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:51, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

As long as it shows that we're both replying to Blue Raspberry, fine by me :)—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 11:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

I ought to apologise for being snarky to you. I've altered my own comment too, adding a colon. I hope that this does the trick. I feel a need to comment again, but I wont until you are happy with my alterations. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 11:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

This was more what I had in mind but I think we're good now.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 11:21, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

As an aside, I should've discussed this with you and requested you make the change instead of making the change myself (by asking and not just assuming that you was also replying to Blueraspberry). Although WP:TPO does mention something about formatting, I should've discussed things with you from the start by asking if you meant to directly reply to Blueraspberry, so I also apologize for my own lack of prior communication and prior discussion (by shooting first and asking questions later) before modifying your comment.—Mythdon (talk • contribs) 14:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

This was very rude of me. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 17:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the North Africa Wiki

I just wanted to thank you for your reply on the talk page. I think I might have misspoke when titled what I had to say as defining. I responded to your comment. Also, since I am new, how can I tell when I have sufficient support from Wiki users on the talk page to revert the article back to my changes or leave it alone? The user who disputes my edit has threatened to block my IP address if I make any more changes to the article, calling my contributions vandalism. I don't want to chance getting blocked! Thanks.Itaren (talk) 07:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. You can safely ignore the templated warnings placed on your Talk page. That editor has exactly the same rights here on wikipedia as you or I. Only Admins have any power to sanction ordinary editors like us.

With regard to the page concerned, I wont make any suggestions in that area (the attempt to define) as I can't see how the situation can be resolved as there is no defining authority that we can point to. Nobody is being collegiate and trying to solve, just to bludgeon their own ideas in. Be assured that Ryanoo has no more power to block you than I do, or you do to block them.

Feel free to ask me any further questions you may have. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:21, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm incredibly grateful for your intervention and input! I have never found myself in a more unpleasant situation contributing before. The article was also generally untouched by onlookers for sometime until Ryanoo came along, which leads me to believe my additions were not "vandalism" and were in fact relevant to the article which they dispute. Anyway, Ryanoo and I have talked a bit on the "talk" page and I am still being attacked for sticking by my verifiable sources and being accused of all sorts of things. I wish I knew more about Wiki formatting to pose a case to the Admins myself but my knowledge with code on Wiki is severely lacking. Itaren (talk) 17:11, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

I will not comment further until the sockpuppet investigation has been completed, there is no point, though clearly I have been (WP:AGF) assuming good faith in this regard, I have formed no opinion.. My attention has been elsewhere in any case, and will be taken away further by health issues for a further 24 hours at least. -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 02:22, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

wwoof wwoof

you have email JarrahTree 10:18, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah. That explains a lot, thanks -Roxy, in the middle. wooF 10:24, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
