HEY BONESO!

edit

Hey Boneso! good day... but iam still thinking if what you said was real. Is there an actual blue whale game?... i think so. According to my opinion this game is like a bad game which kills weak people, but who knows.... might be one of the later geniuses. But i'm thinking that yours maybe better.... the game might not even exist but what about all the things in the internet? Plzz reply.

-many thanks- from Arepticous — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arepticous (talkcontribs) 11:56, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Arepticous Thanks for the comment. I can't see anything in the citations that confirms the game. Only that there are investigations into the suicide and connections to the game. Budekin pleaded guilty to 15 deaths and was convicted to 2 and there was no mention of the game being connected, If he's admitted to 15 but only connected to 2 there are some issues with his story. I think he's lying for some reason. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 23:15, 11 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for replying Good day, But the game is in our countries new!!!! Are they lying? Anyway i do not tend to investigate this game further! Good day friend Arepticous (talk) 01:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Revisionism

edit

It's completely off-topic for the AFD (why I'm posting it here), but saying that something that happened four hours ago is an "error made in the past" comes across as facilitating WP:POLEMIC. Hijiri 88 (やや) 01:39, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Hijiri88: 4 hours ago is in the past, and the error you refer to has no relevance to the discussion at hand. I have no beef with either of you. I am interested in the task at hand which is whether or not this article should be deleted. I agree with you that the article should be deleted due to its lack of notability. What I would like to see is that both of you give the closing admin something to consider. Frame your arguments around WP policy and guidelines, and to not argue about matters related to other topics or base your arguments on errors made in the past, whether the past is 5 minutes ago or 5 years ago. Be the better person and don't get drawn into off topic discussions that turn into slanging matches. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 02:08, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
That argument still doesn't make sense to me: at the time I wrote the stuff you called me out for, that edit from four (now more like five) hours ago was in the future, not the past, whereas what you called me out for was in the past. And anyway: you can guarantee that once the page is deleted, the POLEMIC page in question will be updated to call you out for calling the sources promotional; this will be no more or less acceptable than when it was made to claim that I was unjustified in blanking the plagiarism in the Mottainai Grandma article.

Thanks for the welcome Ipigott. I wrote Connie Johnson (fundraiser) for my wife, who has survived breast cancer. Connie and her brother Samuel were an inspiration to her when she was having chemo. Please take a look at my page on Margaret Battin, I think you'll enjoy it. She wasn't in red, but she had a 2 line stub. I hate stubs. 8==8 Boneso (talk) 21:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Boneso: You've done a great job with Margaret Battin too. Destubbing is important. Keep up the good work.--Ipigott (talk) 07:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to participate in study

edit

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 19:29, 31 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
