"Self-titled"

means titled by himself, which is probably true of all Bob Dylan's albums. "Eponymous" means named after him. But I’m content to let you pick. Paul Magnussen (talk) 23:52, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Magnussen: I've found this to be a good explanation of "Eponymous" - FlightTime (open channel) 23:59, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul Magnussen: and what's this about? - FlightTime (open channel) 00:05, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Xavier Newcombe

Re: James E. Fitzsimmons - race wins removed. I don't understand. Xavier Xavier Newcombe (talk) 14:38, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Xavier Newcombe: I've restored the category, however the other information you added was unsourced and you did not explain either of your changes. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:48, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Well?" Update

Hey FlightTime,

I see you haven't responded in about 2 days. If you're busy, just reply "busy" to this message. I would love to be patient but I would like to hear your thoughts on my messages. (I tried to fix it)

Thanks! Sniper3d107 (talk) 18:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm busy - FlightTime (open channel) 02:40, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About a month ago, you reverted my edits to over a hundred articles where I had replaced old demographic information with 2020 US census results. When I asked why, you removed my question from this page. I asked others on the help desk (Wikipedia:Help desk/Archive 66#Edits reverted) and they speculated that it was because I put the two references at the end of the section, rather than including the relevant after each paragraph or sentence. However, I don't know that's what you were thinking, it's just what another user thought. If I put the references in those places, is it okay if I restore my edits to all those articles? Player001eliminated (talk) 22:03, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Player001eliminated: The proper way to reference an entry is explained here. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I already know that. My edits were referenced to the United States Census Bureau using the correct format. Is it good enough for you if the citations are placed after each paragraph/sentence as at Special:PermanentLink/1284665793? Player001eliminated (talk) 22:20, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Player001eliminated: So you think a reader is supposed to know to go to to your sandbox to verify your edit is sourced? NO, that's not how Wikipedia works. Please re-read Help:Referencing for beginners and quit wasting others time. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your script?

Hi, just as an FYI, your script has, for some reason, decided to start... apparently removing links to publishers/websites in references under the pretext of overlinking? [1][2][3]. Could you please double check these types of edits before you save them? Linking the publisher, website, author, and so on helps with verifiability, which trumps the MOS rules on overlinking every day of the week. Thanks! GreenLipstickLesbian 💌🦋 23:38, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenLipstickLesbian: What script? - FlightTime (open channel) 23:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever script you're running in those edits, which you label as having been run by a script. GreenLipstickLesbian 💌🦋 23:43, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenLipstickLesbian:Well, I don't have any scripts that are my own, if you have a problem with any operation of a script I use, please direct your concerns to the author. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 23:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I fear you misunderstand me - you are responsible for all edits you make with your account. The fact that you're running an semi-automated script does not somehow change that. If you're going to save edits and try to avoid responsibility by saying it's a script issue, then you should not be using scripts. I see @Remsense has already told you this.

Also, please self-revert here: [4] It's common for publishers/websites to be linked in references; it's very common for FA/GA reviews to actually require this because it aids the reader assess the source and verify the material. It's not, and nor shall it ever be, overlinking. Please stop removing those links under the pretext; it's inappropriate and disruptive. GreenLipstickLesbian 💌🦋 23:51, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, youtube is known by everyone on this planet, hence "common term". Did you not read WP:OVERLINKING ? - FlightTime (open channel) 23:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Attention needed at username change request

Hello. I don't know if your notifications are broken, but I have mentioned you a couple times at my username change request. I was told that my new name (Ronaldo7M) was the impersonation of Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7), which is a little bit bold to say the least, but either way, I will "state clearly on my userpage that I'm unrelated to him", just like Eden10Hazard...

If you could get this done before mid-night, AKA on 05/05/2025, I would really appreciate it. Barr Theo (talk) 18:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime: Hold a second. So... If Cabayi can't be overriden, then doesn't that mean that the only person who can now change my name is him? Hmm... Listen, I won't talk with him because in my experience, when you try to convince someone to do something that they have already refused, they usually say "no" again purely out of stubbornness.

I don't want to complicate things even more, so, just tell me this. If I repost my request on the 15th or 25th of May (25/05/2025), can you accept, or still don't? Kind regards. Barr Theo (talk) 21:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tusk (album)

Hello, I saw your revert here as a result of your ANI thread -- I agree that the editor has been disruptive, but I did want to state that the content they added does appeared to be supported by the sourcing at Sara (song). Would you be OK with me adding it back with the sourcing provided over there? I ask, because I do not want such an edit on my part to be seen as getting involved in edit warring, so I figured I'd reach out here first. JeffSpaceman (talk) 01:14, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JeffSpaceman: Yes, of course, if its correct info. Thanx for the heads up :) - FlightTime (open channel) 01:17, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out!

Hi! Thanks for pointing out my mistake here! I didn't notice that I had accidentally added a colon while copying and pasting. Again, thanks! Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs^⚔ 14:10, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Jhlechner

Dear FlightTime, I'm wondering why you reverted my edit on the "Petticoat Junction" article (to include the cover of the theme song by the band Betty. If the article includes other cover versions of the song, I don't understand why we wouldn't include this one. I provided citations. Jhlechner (talk) 13:31, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhlechner: I thought it to be non-notable, just because someone records a cover doesn't mean it's notable. You can seek consensus on the talk page. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 19:18, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

Good day, FlightTime. Could you please review my rename request? Thank you. — ArćRèv • talk 00:40, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done - FlightTime (open channel) 00:52, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Bostart

Hi

The reason for my edit on the Dire Straits template was to emphasise that Mark Knopfler and John Illsley had been in every lineup of the group and thus formed its core.

I edited the order of the others a bit to reflect what I understood the order of joining/recruitment to be but I could have been wrong there. Bostart (talk) 22:53, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bostart: Well, my talk page is not the place to argue your point, please take it on the article page. - FlightTime (open channel) 22:55, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies - this was the only link I could perceive. Bostart (talk) 23:19, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I really don't want to edit war so lets just sort this out now. I don't get why you're reverting my edit at Ranald. Ranald Sutherland, Lord Sutherland died this year. Yet in the list of people named Ranald, it says he was "born 1932" as if he is still living. All the other people on that list who have died have their death date written there too, so why cant Ranald Sutherland's be there? And i'm not sure what you mean by language parameters, could you explain that please? Thank you. Cherryblossomgirly (talk) 21:13, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
