A beer for you!

I saw the post on RfC and your reply. I liked your short and sweet response, and thought you could use a beer after dealing with that. GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔) 04:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

@GeogSage, are you referring to the COVID one? TarnishedPath^talk 05:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Aye, although I'd imagine the Geography one probably calls for a beer as well. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 16:58, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Thanks for helping address that disruption. Enjoy a few berries! ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:34, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

@Pbritti it's Friday afternoon here so I'm off at happy hour. Enjoy your weekend. TarnishedPath^talk 04:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

@Pbritti, have a peak at the finalised investigation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AnExtraEditor. TarnishedPath^talk 03:06, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

I had saw and wasn't going to say anything at the risk of coming across as grave-dancing, but I can't say I'm surprised. Not to BEANS, but I'm going to keep tabs on a few things in the event that this disruption isn't over. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:33, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Good idea. TarnishedPath^talk 03:37, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Elliot Rodger nationality

Do you think we should change Elliot Rodger's nationality to "British-born American"? A a lot of sources refer to it that way. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 05:17, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

@Shoot for the Stars, have a read of MOS:NATIONALITY and then refer to the sources currently in use in the article to get an idea. Myself I find the different between "British and American" and "British-born American" to be trivial and would only change from the status quo if there was a noticeable difference in usage in the reliable sources. TarnishedPath^talk 05:30, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Also, you can just leave it until the GA review starts and see if the reviewer suggests it. I wouldn't worry too much about it. TarnishedPath^talk 05:32, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Covid Origins discussion

As a general rule, my comments on talk pages are not about you in particular. Ymerazu (talk) 17:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

@Ymerazu I appreciate that, however per CTOP active arbitration remedies which apply to the topic area, editorial best practice is required regardless whether your comments are about me or others. Please reread the notice I previously left you, including the links. TarnishedPath^talk 21:33, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

The Jared Taylor Page

First of all, I want to thank you for your input on that page. And secondly (since I hate making a bad first impression) I wanted to say: I normally don't act like this with other editors (like I have with that Hipal person). It is just that it has been exasperating dealing with them as they won't say what they want and keep giving different reasons for this or that. In any case, thanks again.Rja13ww33 (talk) 23:32, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
