Hello to all fellow Wikipedians. GoodDay 22:40, 17 November 2005 (UTC).[reply]

This user has been on Wikipedia for 18 years, 11 months and 28 days.

You may be wondering why my archives only start at August 2007. The reason: I didn't archive my pages before that date, I merely deleted them (as I didn't know how to archive). Therefore, if anyone wishes to see material before August 2007? check out this talkpage's 'history'.

My Arbcom Case

[edit]

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GoodDay
Opened/Closed in 2012.
Amended in 2013, 2014 & 2016

[edit]

I don't understand what you are trying to do by changing from vice president to vice president in Millard Fillmore, Richard Nixon, etc. The original links to Vice President of the United States which is the actual page, and your modified version links to vice president of the United States, which is then redirected to Vice President of the United States anyway. Is there any particular reason to make this change? - Ttwaring (talk) 18:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ttwaring: I changed them to comply with WP:JOBTITLES. -- GoodDay (talk) 18:05, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The text was already compliant with WP:JOBTITLES before you made the change. It was vice president rather than Vice President. There is no point in changing the link to a redirect instead of the actual article. - Ttwaring (talk) 18:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I presume, you were the individual who made the previous changes, in this area? GoodDay (talk) 18:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I have ever changed a "vice president" link. I can find out who put the link in its current form, if you like.
Anyway the point is that WP:JOBTITLES refers to the text displayed on the page, rather than the piped link. Ttwaring (talk) 18:17, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having the linked page capitalised, might cause editors to capitalise what's shown. GoodDay (talk) 18:19, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seemed to do OK from 28 May 2021 through to April 2024. It seems like you might have set yourself up for a lot of link editing. Anyway, thanks for explaining. - Ttwaring (talk) 18:32, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I came here about the same thing. If there's going to be a lot of this sort of thing going on, maybe it should be discussed in a wider forum. Wehwalt (talk) 10:23, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NHL Captains lists - Arizona

[edit]

Hello there, I noticed that you removed ARI from the captain's list and while I am aware that the franchise is inactive, I feel as though the team should still be referenced in the list (as it is in the Alternate Captains list), since the franchise does still exist (and is referenced in other NHL list articles) so in my opinion, removing it from the list and having the article state that there are only 32 teams is incorrect. I also feel that having the article state that there are 33 teams but only listing the 32 that are active would likewise be incorrect, and would probably be confusing to the reader as well. That said, I didn't want to simply revert your edit without first discussing how we might proceed. FHSIG13 TALK 06:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fhsig13: I removed the Coyotes, because they no longer have any players, for the moment. Either way, the Coyotes' no longer have any alternate captains, let alone a captain. I think it would be more accurate to simply have a 'footnote', mentioning the Coyotes. GoodDay (talk) 13:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GoodDay I can respect where you’re coming from on that one, however I think it would be less confusing to keep the Coyotes on the lists, but mark the captaincy/alternate captaincies as “inactive” instead of vacant. If you don’t feel this is suitable, I can stipulate to a footnote instead. Thank you for your consideration. FHSIG13 TALK 21:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fhsig13: Do as you wish. I find the whole Arizona/Utah situation somewhat confusing. GoodDay (talk) 21:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GoodDay It is a very confusing matter, to be certain. I think that since other editors held that listing the captain, head coach, and general manager positions as vacant on the team page was arbitrary, I will align the captaincy list article with that consensus and mark the empty slots as "inactive", as previously stated, along with an explanatory footnote.

Cool. GoodDay (talk) 22:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flames alternate captains

[edit]

Why did you remove my edits regarding the flames alternate captains? The rotated between 5 players at the end of the season. 2001:56A:76B8:E600:3176:D3D5:EB2A:C606 (talk) 22:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No source was provided, nor were names added to List of current NHL captains and alternate captains page. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to add them to the List of current NHL captains and alternate captains. I provide sources when I edit them in when I was signed in. The flames were rotating. Coleman, Weegar and Kadri were seen wearing the A over the previously named alternate captains, Jonathan Huberdeau and Rasmus Andersson. 2001:56A:76B8:E600:3176:D3D5:EB2A:C606 (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You also didn't add the letters to the Flames 2023-24 roster. GoodDay (talk) 22:23, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did. Even put the dates of when they were assigned that role. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not the roster. GoodDay (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to add the A’s to the roster part of the page. I see what you mean there. I’m just saying they were wearing A’s over their officially named alternates. If they were filling in for injured players, I wouldn’t have bothered, but they were all playing. If I added to the List of current NHL captains and alternate captains along with the roster spot, would my edits be taken down the same? Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bring your recommendations to WP:HOCKEY's talkpage & see what others think. GoodDay (talk) 22:40, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Already did. Waiting on the response. Just asking for your personal opinion on the matter. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll go along with what the others say. GoodDay (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s fine. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 01:06, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is my account. I provided links to sources in the edit summary. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bring your proposals to WP:HOCKEY's talkpage. GoodDay (talk) 22:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Tylerboyd17 (talk) 22:25, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My page block

[edit]

Thank you for your suggestion at BLPN re Imane Khelif. I agree that I should take a break from the topic and, irrespective of the page block, I will do so. However, I don't understand if there are any good reasons for not appealing the block immediately, and instead wait for 6 months. Do you have any suggestions about this? Thanks Gitz (talk) (contribs) 19:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gitz6666: seeing as the Khelif bio page falls under WP:GENSEX, your best move would be to walk away for awhile. It's the general topic, which can be a quicksand area. GoodDay (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLANKING

[edit]

Users are permitted to remove block notices, just not declined unblock requests. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 19:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No prob @Jake Wartenberg:. But honestly, the individual should have 'no permission' to do anything. I guess, it's best not to give'em what they want - ie. attention. GoodDay (talk) 19:24, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 14:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Projected electoral college

[edit]

Hello. You recently reverted me saying ”Please, wait until after winner is projected. We don't need to have 'Elected President TBD' in the infobox, before that date. Unfortunately, when you use the college_voted parameter there does not seem to be a way to remove the “to be determined” footnote until we actually add who won. I will request for this to be rectified, but if it is not fixed in time, I am afraid we are going to have to just deal with it and re-add my edit on Election Day. We want the field on Election Night to say “projected electoral vote”, not “electoral vote”. Prcc27 (talk) 03:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Prcc27: recommend waiting until Nov 5, 2024 (when the polls close), before changing the infobox. GoodDay (talk) 04:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. So I made the request just now. I also did a little playing around on my sandbox, and may have found a solution. Worst case scenario, the field could just have an underscore, instead of being blank or having the TBD footnote nobody seems to like. I hope you will find that to be satisfactory if things aren’t resolved in time. I hear you about just waiting, but I am a little anxious, especially since we only get 1 revert that day, so I’d rather establish it in advance. Prcc27 (talk) 04:21, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the bottom of the infobox remains as "Incumbent President" & nothing else, until after the polls close? Then all should be fine. GoodDay (talk) 04:39, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

US cabinet nominees

[edit]

Well @Corkythehornetfan: & @Muboshgu:. I've tried to uphold the 2018 RFC on infoboxes, concerning cabinet nominees in the US. But it was a fight to do so in 2020-21 & is again 2024-25. I'm giving up. GoodDay (talk) 22:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
