Greetings!
Hello! I'm Le Panini. You've been requesting recently what you could do now that you are out of "blocked hell" (I'll call it), and I have some suggestions.
Wikiprojects are groups of users who contribute to the same general area of articles. You've said you like video games and Star Wars, so check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games and Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars. Happy editing! Le Panini [🥪] 15:00, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- You could always try to bring Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith back to WP:GA-status. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 05:16, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MJL: Um... I’m not *that* good with content creation just fyi. I can copyedit a really bad article into something readable, but singlehandedly turning an article into a GA?? I’m just off a 20-month block MJL; I’ve kinda forgotten my content-creation skills. Sorry to disappoint you... --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 17:35, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Give yourself more credit than that! It's already most of the way there. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 07:00, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MJL: You know, this is weird, but I get the feeling that I’m not really wanted here, and that there are some admins who have me in their crosshairs, ready to take me out if I make the slightest mistake. After my past here, I’m very uneasy that I might make a mistake... --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 20:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Is this about Floq? He isn't going to do that. Floquenbeam, please tell Sith that you aren't going to block him for a good faith mistake. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 20:11, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- I don't block people for the slightest mistake (nor for larger but isolated good faith mistakes). I believe my exact words were "do not even come close to fucking around again, even once, or I'll reblock in a heartbeat." Nothing about small good faith mistakes in there. Although, this is weird, but I get the feeling that this is not about an actual fear of being blocked for the slightest mistake. Also, MJL, I fixed your post. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:15, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: I accidentally a word. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:41, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: Perhaps it seems weird to you, but please consider the importance (and the fear inducing quality) of some of your other exact words: "So, someone chose the username "SithJarJar666" (this is StarWars-speak for "attention, I am going to fuck around on your wiki")" [1]
- Does my username speak of a dangerous and vicious predator, or a house cat who comforted a poet? [2] I dislike the characterization of our usernames. In my country, people have been treated with prejudice, because of their names, (or their skin color). I implore others to refrain from making negative comments and conclusions, based on a username. Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 04:03, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- I would encourage anyone equating my comments with prejudice based on ski color to fuck right off. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:50, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Do you consider every edit to be an attack agains you Floq? I’m curious; are you always this snarky with other users, or is this treatment reserved for ex-sockmaster a and anyone who dares agree with them? --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:31, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- I just got equated with being a racist; it's not really a stretch to be offended by that. I'm muting you and Tribe of Tiger, and won't participate here further regardless of pings, except to say that I won't block you if you aren't disruptive; I will block you if you are. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Rebel Without a Cause Undo
Good Afternoon,
I noticed that you undid the changes to the Rebel Without a Cause page. Now, I did not make the changes that were removed, but I know why they removed. It is because what was removed was wrong. I have no idea what all that extra text about China and America having a war (in terrible grammar mind you) is about. I am using the movie in my history class to teach about the counter-culture of the 1950's/1960's, and I can assure you that none of that occurs in the movie. I am not sure who added that text or why, but the person who removed it was absolutely right to do so. If you wish for another site that offers a plot summary, I have one here. https://www.gradesaver.com/rebel-without-a-cause/study-guide/summary.
Respectfully, Elfangor567 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elfangor567 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Elfangor567: Done --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 19:06, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Wait a minute. If you didn’t make that edit to the page, how come you just created your account twelve minutes ago just to post about that article on my talk page? Just to be clear, I’m not accusing you, I just want to know why. --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 19:08, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- @SithJarJar666:I was in class and pulled up the page in order to quickly re-read the summary, I noticed the weird text and checked history to see if recent changes had been made. As for the account being made today, that I am actually confused on. I didn't create an account, I logged in when it said that my username had already been taken. Since I have a rather unique username I was surprised and assumed I had created an account and forgotten about it. I did successfully log in, so I assumed that was the case. Unless it's because I have an account on a specific wiki? (I have an account for the Paradox Wikis, and I am unsure of the relationship between that style of wiki and Wikipedia itself.) Regardless, I did not in fact make the edit myself, although had I not noticed the history I likely would have. I am quite serious when I say that the added text is simply just complete nonsense. Seemed like a badly retold episode of 24 or something similar. Elfangor567 (talk) 23:01, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Elfangor567: Well, the text is gone now, sorry if I caused you any trouble by re-adding it initially;) --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

December 2020 GOCE Blitz Barnstar
The Minor Barnstar | ||
This barnstar is awarded to SithJarJar666 for copy edits totaling between 1 and 1,999 words (including rollover words) during the GOCE December 2020 Copy Editing Blitz. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:06, 23 December 2020 (UTC) |
- Thanks for the barnstar, Jonesey95! I know this is just a standard GOCE barnstar, but it still means a lot to me... --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:36, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi
Hi, I know I'm a little late and I don't know if you remember me, but I just wanted to welcome you back to the EN Wikipedia :) —GalaxyDogtalk 06:43, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- @GalaxyDog: I kinda remember you... you were the one who welcomed me when I was in TE2017 form, right? Still doing the same type of enwiki work, just as my main account now... how have you been doing since then? I see you’ve got some shiny new buttons... --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:33, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, that's me. I've been less active lately, but I'm still editing. —GalaxyDogtalk 13:44, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Welcome back!
Hello there! I was looking through my TP archives, and clicked on your username, and found that you're back! Welcome back, and have a happy new year. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 15:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hey there Thanoscar21! How are you doing? I heard you graduated CVUA, congratulations... are you still doing anti-vandalism work? I have a question for you: I know that I did some bad things on Wikipedia (like sockpuppeting 4 times in a row), but those days are behind me. But how can I get the Wikipedia community to trust me again? Regards, --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 17:53, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- First off, thanks, I'm still doing anti-vandal work. I think a good way to regain trust is to start small. Do blitzes, maybe some more anti-vandal work, and be open about what you did. I can't really think of anything more off the top of my head, but I think maybe request rollback and PCR again, and show the community that you can be trusted. In a year or two, everything will probably be forgotten, and you'll be seen as an editor in good standing. Thanks, Thanoscar21talkcontributions 18:18, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Thanoscar21: Yeah, I think I can do that. Especially the anti-vandal work, though I will only be able to do blitzes when I have the time... I hear you’re a CVUA trainer now, do you think I might be able to become one at some point? --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:06, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

@Thanoscar21: fix ping --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:06, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Of course you will, eventually if not now. Anti-vandal work is easy; it's not like something that takes up a lot of time, it's something you can do whenever you have the time. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 18:21, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Well, yeah. Copy-editing an article takes a lot more time commitment, and with school and covid and whatnot, I just don’t have that kind of free time very often... how hard is it being a CVUA trainer? (If I did it, I would of course only have one student at a time, as more would probably make me burn out of Wikipedia completely...) --sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:25, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Also I made the rollback request.--sithjarjar (talk | contribs | email) 18:25, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

- I mean, I've only had one student, and he was half trained by Puddleglum before they left. It's easy, I guess, but it's fun. It also takes up a lot more time than I thought it would. Thanoscar21talkcontributions 18:47, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
Bulgarian, not Russian ;)
See my reply to you on User talk:85.130.88.186. But thank you for giving my goofy friend the benefit of the doubt (though he is indeed a clown). :) That was so nice of you, and so... Wikipedian-style. Have a nice evening. --2A00:4802:220C:F301:6C0A:16E2:4D09:78C4 (talk) 23:50, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC).

Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here. Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here. Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can. Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo. *All times and dates on this newsletter are UTC.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter error
The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.
