Hey man im josh (talk) 18:58, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Glad to have helped even a little bit, even when life meant I couldn't to the most of my ability. Also, sorry about the whole feud at UAA. @Hey man im josh thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help on Seeds of Hope Publisher Deletion?[edit]

Hi, earlier during the end of May I wrote a piece regarding a deleted articl that you responded to, regarding the deletion of Seeds of Hope Publishers. You wrote that I required a "Conflict of Interest" regarding the matter for consideration, and since that I haven't recieved a response regarding wether the article can be edited to prevent deletion, or at least so we can save the download the article information before deletion. Could you please tell me on whether either of these options are possible, or if the decision is still under consideration? Thank you, and any response is appreciated.

That was not me. I think you might have me confused with someone else. @Devangae200 thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And looking at your talk page, I haven't ever posted a message there, only a few others. Please discuss on their talk pages. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:03, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Devangae200's block popped up on my watchlist, because I warned them for copyright issues on the Seeds of Hope page. I went to check if there was anything I'd have to clean up and saw they'd posted here. Just to clarify, they weren't confused, and nor were they forumshopping. You did actually interact with them on Liz's talk page. I find that if I'm answering a lot of newbie questions on pages other than my or their talk, the editor interaction tool can be useful to figure out where. I hope you can find that useful!

Okay. @GreenLipstickLesbian, sorry, sometimes I just forget, I have a busy life anyways :) thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My User talk page[edit]

Hello, TheTechie,

While I appreciate your help responding to queries on my User talk page while I'm busy with things in my off-wiki life, you respond A LOT. Every time you post a message there, I get a big bar across the top of my page telling me that someone has posted to my talk page. Sometimes, I literally can't go 5 minutes without a blaze of big bars notifying me about about new messages which is more distracting than if I took the time to respond myself.

So, please, don't be so quick to respond to every message I get. I mean, I appreciate that you are trying to help but this flood of talk page notifications interrupts my work. Maybe you could check on the page twice a day rather than as often as you are attending to it now. Sound good ? Thanks again. Liz Read! Talk! 00:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Liz,
I'll try my best, I remember that you were struggling in real life and wanted to help. I'll try to help there less; for some reason, I'm naturally attracted to your talk page (I watch other admins' too and am not replying there as much). Hope you're doing well. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:35, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Techie, I was about awarding you a Barnstar after seeing your good knowledge of Wiki policy especially on Liz's talk page. It damn shows you are in the way. A bit tip? Participate also in AFDs and see around project talks so that other editors will be impressed which I had done so far. You usually respond like a admin always, and like Liz told you, start creating more notable pages and do other things in this project. When you get a bit tired or somewhat, then, go watch talk pages and reply some if you can. Just know you're doing well. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 07:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking consensus on proposed policy[edit]

Hey, TheTechie! I just wanted to invite you to check out my proposed policy that aims to curb targeted/harassing deletion nominations on Wikipedia. Feel free to participate in the discussion on the talk page as a consensus is being sought via RfC. Thank you!

TTUT[edit]

TTUT is great! I just tested it in the testwiki. Quick question, are you planning to make it able to send user warnings? I see the Nuvola icons in the script but I'm not sure what it's for. Also, I'm going to send a feature request. Thanks for the tool-creation! =D Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 20:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Myrealnamm Thanks for testing it out. I've been busy the last few weeks, so I'm just coming back. I went through a couple of bursts of productivity early on; though I haven't really decided on features. Maybe you can suggest some on the talk page, I'd be happy to take a look. Also, just out of curiosity, how did you find out about it? I don't remember advertising it anywhere, though I might not remember having been on Wikibreak. Thanks for the kind feedback.
Also: as for the Nuvola icons, there was going to be a feature where one could make custom warnings with the Nuvola icons, though I haven't decided if I'm going to keep that.
Thanks, thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:13, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi TheTechie,
Thanks for your reply. I found your tool on your user page (through the link on the infobox, under TheTechie subpages). I submitted a feature request the other day on the talk page (I hope it's the right one). I'm exited to see this tool come out in full!
You're welcome, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:37, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Myrealnamm No worries, just seeing it. Completely forgot what my userpage was in those 2 weeks 😅. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you'd like to fork the script and request a merger, I'd be open to that too. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe later, it also works on other wikis if I add the "en" and "w" prefixes (as in my commons page on testwiki). Cheers, Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 17:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
