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 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.
  • 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.
  • Add posts to the relevant section or start a new section at the bottom. Thanks.

JSoc

Re this, "JSoc" is the term used for Jewish societies in UK universities. Might be obscure in the US, but in the UK that's what you'd be looking for if you searched for JSoc. BobFromBrockley (talk) 14:19, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Bobfrombrockley I removed it because there was no mention whatsoever of the term on the linked article. BilCat (talk) 14:22, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
Oh I see that's correct. I might look at this properly and add it in to that article (I can't remember how I got to there!) and if so re-add the see also. Thanks for quick response. BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:51, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Single float advantage

OK, fair is fair on RS, but please see Talk:Floatplane#Single float advantage 🙂. I think that is a better outcome. Thanks! Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 18:23, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Ronald Acuna Jr

You removed my edit. Just because he was not on the WS Roster, does not make him a World Series Champion. He has a ring. You need to undo that edit, that's just flat out wrong. Bluechip18 (talk) 06:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

@Bluechip18: It's explained on the article's talk page. You can make your case there. BilCat (talk) 06:39, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Sixteenth Anniversary on Misplaced Pages!

Calendar emojiHappy First Edit Day!
Hi BilCat! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy 16th anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! Please accept the belated invitation below we forgot to give you at this time last year. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC) 		Party popper emoji

Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society

Dear BilCat,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Misplaced Pages project for fifteen years or more. ​

Best regards, Chris Troutman (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 25 August 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected user page at User:BilCat. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change your page to remove having "I'm not an idiot" on it, lies are supposed to not be allowed here Obamahospitalstrike (talk) 05:15, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
