Deletion of talk page User talk:Ashlin K J.

Hi Ashleyyoursmile. You blocked Farhan Rana Rajpoot Artist for WP:NOTHERE, but they're continuing to post self-promotional stuff on their talk page [1]. Revoking talk page access might be in order... thanks. -- Drm310 🍁 ( talk) 14:58, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ashley, congrats on your successful RfA! I'm glad to see you editing at RfPP, and I thought I'd share this essay that MelanieN shared with me a while back which I found useful: User:MelanieN/Page protection. I think it does a much better job than the admin guide of helping clarify edge cases which is why I like it, but don't get me wrong, you're doing a good job! Thanks for your help, and let me know if I can help you with anything. — Wug· a·po·des 20:08, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hey. Check out the IP that recently vandalized Henry Clay. Based on behavioral evidence, it looks like the vandalism may be coming from a school. I would tag it, but I do not know how to determine exactly which school it came from. Scorpions13256 ( talk) 14:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello:
My addition to the article on Frank Hopkins, the Wild West Cowboy who wrote an autobiography about his life, the contents of which have been mostly debunked, drew a response from you saying that it had been archived because it has no citation.
It doesn't need a citation. I wrote that paragraph. I didn't get it from anybody. What I say in the paragraph is that, seen from a creative writer's point of view, the truth of what Hopkins wrote doesn't matter, even if he presented it as factual autobiography. In fact, that adds to its interest. Everyone now more or less agrees that Hopkins lied about a lot, maybe not everything, but certainly about major events such as the 3,000-mile horse race and that his mother was Lakota. So what? Did Buffalo Bill lie in the many Dime Novel stories about his life, or interviews he gave? Of course he did. It was good copy then and it's good copy now. And telling whoppers was a Wild West genre. An American genre, one might say. Such as "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" or the Paul Bunyon tales. Or Clifford Irving's "biography" of Howard Hughes. Or all those innumerable, wonderful, anonymous Native storytellers who told their kids around the campfire that Coyote was, indeed ,real. And thus bequeathed to us one of the greatest Tricksters in all world history storytelling and literature. Did every one of those people then who heard the stories believe without question that Coyote had created the world and that he had also made love to a human woman, etc.,? Does every single believer have to believe that Moses parted the Red Sea or that Jesus Christ without question turned water into wine at Cana? All stories to be believed require faith, the faith that there is some truth in them. Does it have to be literal belief? is symbolic acceptable?
From a postmodern perspective, Hopkins could be seen in a couple of ways. He is a type of the American con man that Melville portrays in The Confidence Man, a type that finds a public face in the recent president. Is Hopkins part of that line? All right, say he is. Still he was a writer, and though all writers of fictions may be cons they have never really materially hurt anybody. Has Hopkins? That's one point.
Hopkins's "autobiography" can be understood as a postmodern genre of which he is a forerunner, the fictional autobiography, a highly interesting fused genre. In the end, after all, he only penned a compelling novel and claimed much of the narrative as fact which wasn't. So, assuming no one has been substantially hurt, Point Two: Is Hopkins's aesthetic achievement interesting enough to survive no matter what it's literal truth? Considering that a film has been made from it and the film was a success on its own terms, I think one would have to at least acknowledge some worth in the material.
Thing is, sure, Hopkins told a whopper. Some believed it. Some didn't. But whether he did or didn't tell the truth, Hopkins deserves credit for being a storyteller who had a feel for the Wild West--fact and fiction--and left behind an interesting document, which can be viewed not just as a disreputable con job but as a forerunner to more conscious works of fictional autobiography. As long as we go in knowing that he made up most of it, and we even appreciate that aspect of the work, and we also see it from a sociological and historical perspective, we can enjoy this great whopper Hopkins gave us. It's the life he probably wanted to live. And did, in a way. How many white kids used to wish they were part First Nation (Indian)? So long as this wish respects First Nations people and in no way insults their dignity, can there be harm? Hopkins did live the life he wanted. Imaginatively. As many do.

I am sorry I missed your RFA. I was offline much of May. I am glad you passed and I thank you for your block of a vandal that I reported a few hours ago. As you probably know, the number of administrators paying attention to vandalism has declined some in the past year or two, especially at certain times of day and certain days of the week. I look forward to your work on this as well as your great content contributions. Best wishes. Donner60 ( talk) 06:52, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ashley,
First off, I apologize for that, I wasn't aware who set up the page. So please forgive me for my stumble in clarity. I'm the Director, writer, producer. I would like to make some changes to the wikipedia regarding the movie. Since the time of the release 5 years ago Arc Ent, the company went out of business 7 months later. Since my company is the sole owner of the film 100%, we went back and reshot 50% of the movie and brought in additional cast mates to make it 100 times stronger, and it will be released everywhere this October 1st . Also, the name of the movie is different. Its now spelled, "PR1VAT3 NUMB3R" I'm happy to provide you whatever is needed to post. Thank you for your time and again I hope you can help me. God bless
