Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

ITN recognition for Johnny Ruffo

On 12 November 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Johnny Ruffo, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. —Bagumba (talk) 07:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/INVNT

Hi Local Variable, in the future be sure to notify everyone who has participated in an AfD/discussion when a substantial change is made. Also, I have never done a bundle; otherwise I would help you and I am not sure how adding another article it is going to impact the AfD given it's already been underway for a couple days. ?? You might want to ask one the admins who regularly close AfDs. If you are not sure who to contact, let me know and I will try to find someone for you. S0091 (talk) 17:11, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. The reason for the ping was because I wasn't entirely sure about the process and both of you seem experienced with AfD. Local Variable (talk) 23:55, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

An IT blessing for you!

May your "downtime" always be the relaxing kind.

Thank you for identifying when it was time to shift back from polling to discussion.

Awarded for valuable contributions to the 2024 CrowdStrike-related move discussion

That CrowdStrike IP

Just a heads up, I don't think that the IP editor on the CrowdStrike discussion is a logged-out sock of someone engaged in the discussion. I think they're an LTA that's trolling (see also Special:Diff/1239671986; same ASN, different address). Not enough evidence for any action, but probably safe to just deny/ignore and they'll go away.

@Dylnuge Ah, good catch. I wasn’t confident enough to level any accusations at anyone or file a report. Glad to be proven wrong. Local Variable (talk) 13:06, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
