Welcome to my talk page

Feel free to leave me a message; while I cannot guarantee a prompt response, I will probably answer within 72 hours. -- Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 18:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Editor Talk pages (including yours) are not places to try to start chats, or invite people to comment, or propose non-Wikipedia ideas. Editors have been blocked for using Talk as chatrooms. Primary use for Talk is for editors to leave comments about your editing of articles. This can range from awards (Barnstars) to cautions, warnings and block notifications.

Ah, that makes sense. I will certainly keep that in mind for the future. -- Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 16:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Idea!

edit

This is an idea that I had, but I plan to refine it with sequential edits of this talk. If you like this idea (or come up with a similar one), please notify me so that we can collaborate. If you don't like this idea, please tell me why. When I've satisfactorily fleshed out this idea, I plan to propose it (somewhere).

What if there was a Wikipedia page devoted to extremely long and well thought out games of chess, played by Wikipedians?

  • It could be set up relatively like a talk page, were anyone can add a chess move to the game, or vote on a preexisting move.
  • Moves would be written in the format: [Move written in chess notation], [Number of yes votes] [Creator's signature]
  • For each game, players could be split up into two teams, based on which team they play for first. People who add (or vote for) a black move could only play as black in the future, and the same for white. -- Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 00:02, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia is a project to build and expand and maintain a free online encyclopedia. It is not a social media site. People who want to play chess online have plenty of websites to choose from. Our hobby here is writing encyclopedia articles. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:36, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Cullen, now that you say that, my idea makes a lot more sense as a non-Wikipedia thing (even if it's done in the style of Wikipedia). -- Angry Red Hammer Guy (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Linter error in signature

edit

The tag <font>...</font> you are using in your signature is deprecated. Please consider replacing it with a span+CSS equivalent <span style="color:#ee9a22">...</span>. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:50, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey, thanks for pointing that out! I have updated it in your suggested way, and it seems to work just fine. I am assuming that this came to your attention when I posted some userboxes to the new userboxes talk page. If this is the case, what did you think of my userboxes? If this is not the case, please disregard the second part of this message. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <talk> <email> 18:00, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I recommend avoiding all off-topic userboxes. That is, please consider only using userboxes directly related to your contributions to Wikipedia. And don't spend too much time on userboxes. Focus on contributing to articles instead. If you don't know where to start, see section "Help out" of the Community portal. —⁠andrybak (talk) 20:31, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Userbox request

edit

Hello Angry Red Hammer Guy I am from Tunisia is it possible to get a Userbox for that? Carthago824 (talk) 19:49, 4 december 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carthago814 (talkcontribs)

Hi! It looks like there is already a userbox that might work for you:
Wikitext userbox where used
{{Template:User proud|Tunisia}}
 This user is proud to be a
Tunisian !

Userbox request

Can I have a userbox that has a picture of pi on it and says, "This user believes that pi repeats" and have the pi symbol link to the pi Wikipedia page? 2003 LN6 (talk) 18:34, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sure, but I don't think I can make the pi image link to the Wikipedia page about pi. How's this?
Wikitext userbox where used
{{User:Angry Red Hammer Guy/Userboxes/piRepeats}}
 This user believes that pi repeats.

This is nice, thanks! 2003 LN6 (talk) 01:39, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Gina Carano

edit

Greetings. Claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election have been widely shown to be baseless. Multiple published, reliable sources describe Carano's claims as false. Suggesting otherwise is whitewashing. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 20:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello and thank you for your input; I appreciate it. I would also like to thank you for bringing WP:STICKTOSOURCE to my attention, and I will try my best to remember it in the future. I recognize that many reliable sources have stated that claims of 2020 election fraud are baseless and false, and I would like to point out that many other reliable sources (which lean to the right rather than the left) state that widespread 2020 voter fraud is a real possibility. This is a very contentious issue. Indeed, I would even go so far as to say that most people on the right believe 2020 voter fraud is real, and most people on the left think the opposite. Saying that Gina's claims are false would be choosing one political side over the other, and a direct violation of WP:NPOV. By not saying that her claims are false, I am not whitewashing, and I am not choosing a side. I am simply trying my best to uphold Wikipedia policy. However, I understand the value of including people's viewpoints, and would be more than willing to accept something like: "Gina Carano has said that there was widespread election fraud in 2020, a view which many people believe to be false." I would also like to say that all my edits are intended to improve Wikipedia, even if I sometimes miss the mark. I am willing to discuss this further, however, I cannot guarantee promptness in my responses. Thank you, and please excuse the length of this message. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <talk> <email> 01:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sangdeboeuf Please be notified of my message. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <talk> <email> 02:58, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia is based on published, reliable sources. Whether the general public believes something to be true or not is irrelevant. I've addressed your other concerns at the article talk page. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 03:13, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sangdeboeuf Thank you. I have proposed a counter argument on the article's talk page. — Angry Red Hammer Guy <talk> <email> 03:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
