Adam Pritzker has two new roles that should be included in his article. I've put up an edit request that is still pending. Your edits on the page, specifically in 2017 were constructive and helpful; I'd be grateful for your involvement again. Thanks for facilitating these changes and improvements.

Hi BarrelProof, I would like to know your reason for the removal of the Urban Music Awards from the category Awards and Nominations from the page Flo. Silencedoc ( talk) 14:51, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
Please will you remove or strike your "I dislike being told what to do." comment. Your every post on that page was telling others what to do, in this case, telling a former admin (retired) who has been editing here for nearly 16 years and with multiple featured articles under their belt what process you think they should have followed. -- Colin° Talk 21:27, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
"The way to make people aware that the renaming of an article is being considered is to use the WP:RM process. That process was not followed". You are telling Graham what he did not do and in your opinion should have done. Your use of "the way" only permits one way. It isn't true. An article talk page posting is the primary way to alert editors of a proposed name change. And a wiki project post is another, such as the one made to WP:MED. Indeed, nearly 40 article talk pages were posted to informing them of discussions. Many name changes (most probably) occur without any RM posting. The name change is not controversial in the real world. It isn't like any publication said "Oh, I think we'll stick with the old name, thank you very much, we like stigmatising African people." -- Colin° Talk 18:38, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for noticing I failed to put my signature on that talk page. I'd guess I've been using the new way to communicate which does not need the ~ to add signatures for a long time, I must have forgotten to add them while giving my view yesterday. I should pay more attention when using talk pages through either the inline form or the classic legacy experience (i.e. editing the same way as normal articles).

Hello, BarrelProof. I noticed your RM a bit too late, but you said something interesting that I figured I should chime in on. You replied to someone with, Interesting comment that "all the House can do is vote for a speaker or adjourn" (if that is true, this article should say that, but it doesn't).
There is an unfortunate pattern to the various Speaker of the United States House of Representatives election article. They tend to have material copied from the prior vote, with or without attribution. You can see this
easily by looking at the version of the January article three months out and comparing it to the
current version of the 2021 article. This means that only the content that has been needed overall is generally moved to the upcoming article. The only reason this matters is because up until the January 2021 article, there was never a need to specifically mention that the House cannot do anything other than vote for a new Speaker or vote to adjourn because modern elections had the Speaker elected on the first vote. Currently, the January 2021 article does have this line in it due how long that vote went for; If no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast for a person by name, then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected
with a citation from the
Congressional Research Service.
In any case, it should be added to the article, though it should also be made clear that voting to adjourn is also valid for the House. (In fact, the House has adjourned until next Tuesday.) Right now though, most of sources I can dig up besides the CRS refer to how the January 2021 election worked. The New York Times has relevant information, but is presented as for only "a newly elected House." Politico might work, but it doesn't specifically word it that there are only two voting options until a Speaker is elected, just heavily implied. CRS might be enough to work, but it is easier to do it with a regular source. In any case, my rambling aside, I hope that this was helpful in some form. -- Super Goku V ( talk) 09:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
I think it might also be good to cite the article I referenced that says it is not an entirely settled matter.And it was a good idea I made this as I somehow forgot about that part of things in all of this. Thank you for the reminder. (Also sorry for not fixing the article sooner. Figured I would try to head to bed soon after I typed that up.) -- Super Goku V ( talk) 05:52, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello, BarrelProof
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Significa liberdade, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Intensive Care (film), for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}

A tag has been placed on Whisky Advocate requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.insidehook.com/drinks/whisky-advocate-best-whiskies-2021. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, BarrelProof, how are you? You created Bloodhorse a while ago. We now have a page on that topic at Hot-blooded horse. I'm always hazy about the best way to configure dab pages, but my guess is that your dab should be moved to Bloodhorse (disambiguation) and the short title redirected to the principal topic (which should then have a suitable hatnote). Does that sound right to you? I'll do that soon – unless it's wrong or you do it first! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 10:49, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello, can you restore your only stable edition and remove Funimation from the infobox brand, which is not listed here because it is the parent company that has been renamed from Funimation Global Group to Crunchyroll LLC.

Thanks for the mention/ping at Talk:Samuel Ashe (North Carolina governor). I think the crux of the matter is that there are several different opinions about how titles for articles about politicians should be disambiguated. The rule of thumb I have went by is what I stated in that discussion, but obviously opinions on the matter seem to be different. What I'm getting at here is I think the bigger issue here is that the process for titling such disambuguators is not streamlined when it probably should be. Maybe a new policy titled Wikipedia:Naming conventions (politicians) needs to be created so we all can be on the same page ... but it's nothing that I am up for proposing or writing myself.

Hey @ BarrelProof, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I closed your requested move for California High School (San Ramon, California) as not moved. Just wanted to give you a heads up since you made the request awhile back. Dr vulpes (Talk) 02:34, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey @ BarrelProof, I'm back again and just wanted to let you know that I moved all the articles from the discussion at Al Mushayrifah (31°30′0″N 35°52′0″E). If there are any problems or if I made a mistake please just ping me and let me know. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Bianca Censori. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.
For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.
If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{

on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you.

Good afternoon,
I am reaching out in reference to the conversation on Talk:Virginia Housing Development Authority about Virginia Housing's rebrand. In that conversation, you said the following:
"Press articles announcing the official change of name shouldn't count. What would count is independent reliable sources using the new name and not mentioning the old one."
The Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade's .gov website lists the agency as "Virginia Housing" with NO mention of the old name whatsoever: https://www.commerce.virginia.gov/agencies/
I am new to Wikipedia and saw that the discussion on Talk:Virginia Housing Development Authority is now closed and that you were the last user to comment, which is why I'm reaching out to you directly.
Thank you — Joshuabriere ( talk) 14:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, BarrelProof. A couple months ago, when I resigned as an admin, I said something about Wikipedia making me less nice. Since then, I've tried to have a generally nicer editing style. The need to sometimes revert edits stands in fundamental tension with that, but I try my best to, well, at least not come off as a jerk when I revert people.
Today and yesterday haven't been great days for me. A friend died and everything's a bit numb. I worry that that's leading to me being less thoughtful in my tone—still above the painfully low bar of "civility", but falling short of my desire to be someone who's pleasant to edit alongside even in disagreement. I wouldn't want you to think that I don't appreciate you as an editor, or that I assume anything less than full good faith of you. I appreciate your work and look forward to working with you further. Sometimes it's just hard to remember to suffuse edit summaries and comments with that sentiment of collegiality, when there's other things on one's mind. I'll try to course-correct from here, but if I do seem curt in any interactions, please just know it's nothing about you.
Happy editing. -- Tamzin[ cetacean needed ( they|xe) 17:59, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
