I'm not that active these days, but I'm still around. Feel free to send me an extra poke here or via e-mail for anything, trivial or important (or to just say hi).

I live in Arizona, USA. My main focus on Wikipedia is working on articles about entertainment and fiction (particularly anime and science fiction, which is probably not a big surprise), though I do enjoy working on much more than just those kinds of articles. Lately I've been more active in meta space than in article space, focusing on discussions and technical features such as templates. I'm also very interested in applying some of the methodology of Wikipedia to other wikis around the internet, which lead me to start up WikiProject Transwiki.

Unfortunately my personal time is being consumed by some other stuff lately, and I'm not nearly as active as I once was. Don't let that stop you from leaving me a message or asking for assistance if you feel I can be of some help! I will always be a Wikipedian, and look forward to always having at least some level of contribution to this great project. I also plan on getting more active again to at least finish a number of projects/ideas that I've either had or was involved in.

Option 1: Defunct

Option 2: Rebranded to X

Option 3: Replaced by X

Option 4: Succeeded by X

Option 5: other

Talk:Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Should the Infobox of the artist include the fact that Bruegel in Brabant (as one of the two sources is claiming) is a city where Pieter Bruegel has been born? Nico Gombert (talk) 16:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Let Her Burn

There has been a long-running slow-motion dispute on this page regarding the list of tour dates for the supporting album tour that ran from February 4 to July 22, 2023.

The project page, WP:CONCERT TOUR, says that for an article on a concert tour, "Tables may be used to present tour date information, such as dates, venues, locations, and opening/support acts". However, the essay, WP:ALBUMSTYLE, says, "Concert tours are not always notable enough to warrant stand-alone articles (see WP:NMG#Concert tours). Instead, information about notable tours and festivals should be incorporated into either the artist's page, or the album article for which the tour is supporting. Do not list all dates here, instead mention the range of dates (ex. June–September 1992)".

Neither of these pages are policy, but they leave gray the question of how to treat a concert tour that is arguably notable enough to have a separate article, but can arguably more concisely be presented to the reader as a section of an article on the album being promoted through this tour.

Talk:Greta Gerwig

Should the order of occupation in the lead be changed from American actress, writer, and director to American director, writer, and actress?

Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard

Back in Feburary of this year, I started a discussion on Cartoon Brew's reliability. The general consensus on the matter was that it was reliable for animation-related topics, but should not be used in articles about living people. ~~However, some editors have expressed concern over the website's accuracy of their reporting, as seen here.~~

That being said, what is the reliability of the Cartoon Brew regarding information related to animation?

Option 1: Generally reliable
Option 2: Additional considerations
Option 3: Generally unreliable
Option 4: Deprecate

Let's discuss and decide here whether we should mention her as Russian Israeli or as Israeli. This is since the debate is endless and has not been solved until now and it is for a very long time. ArmorredKnight (talk) 14:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Should the "Controversies and incidents" section contain a section on Israel votes and media reports in connection to this which relate to more individuals than expected or individuals which would not usually have voted. PicturePerfect666 (talk) 16:50, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Should this article's lede mention controversies that arose surrounding the song contest? If yes, please explain to what extent, i.e. should it mention that there were controversies in general or should any specific controversies be detailed?

Please note that as a prominent controversy is related to the Israel-Hamas war, it is subject to WP:ARBECR. Accordingly, accounts with fewer than 500 edits and 30 days' tenure may not participate. Any comment violating ARBECR may be removed by any editor, and edit warring will not be tolerated. Please keep the discussion respectful: comment on the matter in question, not on other editors. Thank you. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:38, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
