Hi B. I just stopped my eyes from bleeding. The discussion was closed. Are we still using MOS:THENICKNAME on pages? P.S. I came here first, because it looks like you made a friend over there. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:17, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: No, the title goes to WikiOriginal-9 [1] —Bagumba (talk) 04:12, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hah. That's pretty funny. I was mainly just leaving that comment so he didn't think he was crazy with everyone disagreeing with him, lol. It did look a little weird at first when "The" started changing to "the" like at "the Rock" but I don't really care too much either way. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiOriginal-9: It wasnt so much people disagreeing as everyone being like DGAF (should be an offshoot from WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT) —Bagumba (talk) 16:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My eyes are clear and I just read the message about closing the discussion. Pretty straight forward. I'll leave you alone. :) Bringingthewood (talk) 00:16, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: If consensus really did change, I assume the guideline would be updated as well. Otherwise, there's the risk of a mere WP:LOCALCONSENSUS. —Bagumba (talk) 01:23, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It hasn't .. by the looks of it. I asked before I finished the discussion page, and both you and WO-9 were responding on GOAT's page anyway. But then I read the message why the admin. closed it. It was right to the point. So I'm continuing to use MOS. Bringingthewood (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ROFL!! Priceless! Sorry B, I contacted you and now you lost your Goombah status, lol! Enjoy the rest of your week. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering if you could action this request. Thank you for your time. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:03, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: I generally don't patrol RFPP, but looked at this as a one-off request. I blocked the latest IP for evasion, preferring to limit actions to specific users, where possible. Protection might be needed if IPs keep changing. —Bagumba (talk) 03:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:29, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You blocked 71.35.19.114 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) a week ago. Block evasion by 184.98.192.0/18 (talk · contribs · logs · block log). Thanks! Now the user is back with a new IP: 71.35.12.213 (talk · contribs · logs · block log). Could you block that as well? Thanks! — Chrisahn (talk) 16:19, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrisahn: Blocked.[2] —Bagumba (talk) 17:01, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! — Chrisahn (talk) 17:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I requested a close for the Talk:Luka Dončić–Anthony Davis trade renaming discussion too early. I thought the conversation was done since there was no movement for five days. I have no opposition to the relist now that we have more contributors, but are there any rules of thumb to tell when something's done? Namelessposter (talk) 16:57, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Namelessposter: You can refer to Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions § Relisting. —Bagumba (talk) 17:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

For forgetting to WP:PRESERVE as "further reading". Left guide (talk) 03:47, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Left guide: I'm not going to recommend books I'm not familiar with. "Bibliography" was just immediately misleading and counter to MOS:LAYOUTWORKS, and restored without explanation. As an aside, I'm not sure if that's the "reasonable number" referred to by WP:FURTHER. —Bagumba (talk) 04:14, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hope he stalks and deletes this soon: 'If you need to go to the bathroom, just tell them you gotta take a fat Bagumba.' I'm not in the mood to get blocked tonight! Bringingthewood (talk) 05:16, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Poo poo heh heh. —Bagumba (talk) 11:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're way too nice. Say the word and I'll remove, using the same warning Drmies used on editor sending me a love letter. It's wrong and it bothered me all day. I don't take friends lightly. Regards, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:10, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: If I was going to guess, it might be the same person who I previously rmved a hit list from (you might have been included) and warned. I try to be the shepherd LOL. Otherwise, I tryto avoid being the Dirty Harry cop, so would then have to invest time filing a noticeboard report in an extreme interpretation of WP:INVOLVED. —Bagumba (talk) 22:25, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you, but myself on the other hand, can sit outside all night until they turn the lights off. It was your short-lived friend. Then he had to be a child and add your name to his user page. It started when you sent a message regarding MOS:LAYOUTWORKS. Honestly, I have to agree with him. YOU ARE A FUNNY GUY, lol. Bringingthewood (talk) 22:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go figure, I just had an edit conflict with you. The order still looks good. Honestly, I was all for helping someone out .. if they asked for it. I sent a message to 9mm not too long ago and everything is fine, this guy, no respect for authority. Anyone can change, who knows what will happen. I read your WP:INVOLVED and that's why I contacted Drmies .. sorry, I couldn't let it go. That's just me, I can take Bagu .. I mean excrement to the grave. Hee. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:03, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bringingthewood: I dropped a line on your page at about the same time. I'd have leeway to say I'm not involved, but I just think it adds fuel to alleged victims if the same cop is on them. I'm big on WP:VOLUNTARY, and don't expect anything, but I definitely appreciate people keeping things in line too. Thanks. —Bagumba (talk) 04:15, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(HA! There was another edit conflict) I know what you're saying and I agree with you 100%. Just to clarify my standing in life, I'm not a bully, I just will not put up for this type of garbage directed towards people I like. Whether it's you, WO-9, or Josh. I don't forget people who care and have helped me out along the way. Btw, you do know I don't understand much of what you try to tell me anyway, that's why I can never argue with you, lol. But I understood that last sentence from what you just sent over on my talk page. Piece of mind is all I needed, Goombah. Thanks for that. At least until Act II comes along. John. Bringingthewood (talk) 04:31, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At Wilt Chamberlain#University of Kansas (1956–1958) near the end of the third paragraph, can you please add wikilink brackets around "basket interference"? Left guide (talk) 23:42, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done —Bagumba (talk) 17:20, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
