One by one, the guests arrive
The guests are coming through
The open-hearted many
The broken-hearted few

”

— Leonard Cohen, "The Guests"
based on a 13th-century Persian poem

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

It is easiest to use the "Add topic" link at the top of a talk page and "[ reply ]" link following each post but you may edit this page directly if you follow the above-mentioned guidelines.

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.

Regarding replies and notifications:

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or use the "[ subscribe ]" link by each thread heading,or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Thank you

Hey, Sam. I just want you to know that the things you're writing on our common friend's page are appreciated. If they edit again without even trying to do anything about the points you're telling them about, it'll be time for a CIR block. Bishonen | tålk 21:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Hejsan, Bishonen. Thanks for keeping an eye on this. I wish they were responding, but I doubt they will. There's something almost amusing about a ChatGPT-reply that includes the wording "my primary focus was on copying the exact lines from the source material to ensure accuracy." when the opposite is the reality. But good on ChatGPT to accidentally produce a blurb implying that they violated copyright or closely paraphrased. :-) Best, Sam Sailor 06:25, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Corm II

Hi Sam, please note that your edits to the above AfD have been reverted by the article creator. You may not have been notified as it looks to have been a manual revert. This removal makes a big difference as it's now 3 vs 3 on keep to delete rather than 4 vs 3. I also note that the user continues to make unfounded accusations of discrimination based on ethnicity and religion. This user's behaviour is getting close to WP:ANI imho. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 06:42, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also felt that your source analysis was important as it highlighted the fact that the sources were all false. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 06:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Spiderone, many thanks for taking care of that. I suspect that there might be socking going on, and I will mention you in an SPI shortly. All the best, Sam Sailor 08:38, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for sorting that so quickly. I can see that it's already been dealt with too! Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:49, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not at least thanks to Girth Summit who took the case. Let's keep both the article and the draft on our watchlists just in case it gets recreated. I have archived the article here. Sam Sailor 05:23, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - you wrote a very clear report and made it easy for me. Girth Summit _(blether) 22:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
