Hello Lara, I've just been reflecting on my early days on Wikipedia, and what a good team we were. I hope you are Indubitably well, and wish you all the best in every endeavour. ''[[User talk:Geometry guy|Geometry guy]]'' 20:01, 12 April 2023 (UTC) |

Hello! My name is Christian and I am a student at Mercyhurst University in Erie, PA. For one of my classes, I have been tasked with creating a Wikipedia article. One of the first pieces of advice I received was to ensure my formatting matched with the standard formats of the various WikiProjects, or else they would be quickly pulled down. For your WikiProject, what formatting requirements must be met? My subject is a living person, but someone who has been moved into Witness Protection. I'm not sure to what extent to follow the guidelines of the regular Biography section, versus the Biography of a Living Person guidelines, and I would appreciate your help. Thank you! |

Now there is a reply button that doesn't work.

::Great to see you again! Its been so long. As far as the Reply tool, I think something in your talkpage template might be interfering with it. I've found that it works well on general pages, but the more heavily customized userpages sometimes give it trouble. <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:3">[[User:The Wordsmith|'''The Wordsmith''']]</span><sup>[[User talk:The Wordsmith|Talk to me]]</sup> 17:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC) |

::: Hi Lara, I'm pretty dismayed by Wikipedia: any pretence at NPOV has been lost, as there is a bias in active contributors on almost every topic. I recently lost my bit for inactivity, which pissed me off a lot. Meanwhile editor numbers seem to have dropped, and so there are many pages that are just piles of cow shit that no one cares about any more. It might be painless to bring such articles to B level, maybe close to GA, so I am experimenting with that idea. Let me know if you are interested in such an adventure. In any case, I hope you are well. ''[[User talk:Geometry guy|Geometry guy]]'' 00:41, 20 November 2023 (UTC) |

:BLP isn't my WikiProject. I started it many years ago, but I don't really edit Wikipedia anymore. There are no special formatting requirements for BLPs. There should be extra requirements to protect living subjects. I don't know what the status of that currently is, however. That the protections were such garbage is one of the reasons I left WP. <big>'''[[User:Indubitably|<span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:#5F04B4">Indubitably </span>]][[User talk:Indubitably|<span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC;color:deeppink">(Talk)</span>]]'''</big> 14:31, 18 July 2019 (UTC) |

== A heads-up == |

::: Hahaha - thanks for the reply - same old straight-talking Lara! After my desysopping experience, I am loath to do stuff for free here also, but I like to learn about things that interest me. Most recently the origins of life caught my interest, and the articles and templates on WP contradict each other, including some GAs, which is fucking annoying. If I can be bothered to do something about it, I will, but I totally get your perspective! Be well! ''[[User talk:Geometry guy|Geometry guy]]'' 22:10, 20 November 2023 (UTC) |

I stumbled upon your page (oddly enough, because I recognized you in [[:File:Bathrobe pwns.gif]] and didn't know you renamed yet again). Anyhow, I missed the days when we did [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps|Good article sweeps]]. I hope you're doing well these days.

Policy allows us to use signatures that obfuscate our wiki-IDs. Even so, it can be confusing. You confused me. As you can see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ahmed_Khadr&diff=889652184&oldid=889651546 here], it took me seven minutes to figure out that that Lara and Jennavicia and Indubitably were just a single individual. |

:You dropped by the talk page of someone who semi-retired a decade ago to complain about a signature from seven years ago. Not bothering to notice that what few signatures appear on this page have a signature that matches my wiki-ID. Thanks for stopping by, Geo.

== Looking for help with a BLP == |
|||
Hello! I found you on [[WP:WPBIO]] and was wondering if you might be able to help me... or point me in the direction of someone that could. I am working on [[Iymen Chehade]]'s bio. It was started by a sockfarm and has been banned, but I am trying to clean it up and get the warnings all removed. Here is the last note left by the admin that originally tagged the article: The article was written by an abusive UPE sockfarm (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marek.kapicak) and was touched up by a disclosed paid editor (see above). It needs review from volunteers to determine compliance with editorial policies and inclusion guidelines. |
|||
Might you be available to review this article to determine compliance? |
|||
Thank you for any help! |

|||
The file [[:File:CrazyChemGuy-design.jpg]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern: |
|||
<blockquote>'''unused Wikipedia-specific screenshot'''</blockquote> |
|||
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]]. |
|||
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[File talk:CrazyChemGuy-design.jpg|the file's talk page]]. |
|||
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|files for discussion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Ixfd64|Ixfd64]] ([[User talk:Ixfd64|talk]]) 17:37, 28 October 2021 (UTC) |

== Help with Jenny Durkan article == |
|||
I noticed you’re a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography]] and was wondering if you could take a look at some requested edits to the article about Seattle Mayor [[Jenny Durkan]] that have been pending since September 17, 2021. I have a personal and previous professional connection to Durkan, so I can’t do the edits without an independent review but I am happy to implement any changes you might approve to make it easier for you. Here is the link to my proposed changes. [[Talk:Jenny Durkan#Proposal for Updates to Article]] Thank you for your consideration.
