Question from Ceisiwr (18:34, 13 June 2024)[edit]

Hi, why does WP allow malicious, unproved allegations to be made? I find this disturbing. I would like to correct a number of hearsay allegations and statements that I'm aware of. --Ceisiwr (talk) 18:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ceisiwr You’vr been adding unsourced and fringe material to articles. I’ve given you a welcome message with links to our policies and guidelines. I don’t think Wikipedia is a good fit for you. Doug Weller talk 19:18, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Savo[edit]

Thanks for this correction. An uncaught typo and the cut-and-paste function can do much unseen damage, combined. CJCurrie (talk) 13:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Thank you for updating the 2023 and 2024 local election articles! I was inactive thus the 2023 election was left unfinished. Vacant0 (talk) 13:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption[edit]

Hi Vacanto, I saw you on the list of available adopters, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to adopt me? I’m currently mostly just doing RCP, but I’m interested in content creation/deletion and NPP, and other random stuff too. However you want to do this (if you do) works with me. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 21:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @GoldRomean:. I can adopt you, considering that I'll be active again in the following period (if you check my contributions you'll see that I've largely been inactive during this year). If you need help with anything, let me know. Vacant0 (talk) 10:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks! GoldRomean (talk) 18:33, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
