Barbara Hoyt

I dont think Barbara Hoyt is notable enough to have her own page plus her page hasn't been improved for long time do you think it should be deleted or maybe merged with Manson family page? DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 23:46, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

@DarkHorseMayhem: The standard for inclusion is coverage indicated by cited sources, and since there's eight citations, I say keep it, and improve it. Nightscream (talk) 03:03, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

@Diannaa: Hi, Dianna. It had been some time since I first wrote that material, though I thought I had sufficiently paraphrased it. If not, I can go over it again to paraphrase it further, but I can't do that if there is no version available to me, on account of it having been removed entirely from the edit history. Can you provide a version of it that I can work off of, perhaps in a version of the Sandbox? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 02:32, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
I have sent you a copy via email. If you would like to view the iThenticate report, go to the CopyPatrol report. Log in to CopyPatrol (upper right corner), and the iThenticate link will be revealed. Click on that, and you will be asked to agree with Turnitin's terms of service, and then the comparison report will load. The reports sometimes are slow to load. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:48, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
@Diannaa: Thanks for the email. However, I don't know what iThenticate, nor do I understand what it's showing me after logging in. The article at the top of the page is Battle of Grunwald, and below that, none pertain to the Trump article. Nightscream (talk) 03:09, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
Here is the direct link to your report: https://copypatrol.wmcloud.org/en?id=ccd433ab-5ba8-4b7d-b5db-a677fb2c9940 — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:29, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
Click on the iThenticate link for this specific report to view what was found by the detection service. Overlapping content is highlighted. Sources are on the right. Some of it is quotations, and some is not. I have to go to bed now. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 03:32, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
@Diannaa: The "Compare" button merely leads to text that says, "The revision ID couldn't be found: 1307284643", while the link is merely to the Daily Mail article. Thanks again. Sleep well. Nightscream (talk) 04:44, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
That is correct. The compare button won't work any more because the edit has been revision deleted. You should be able to view the iThenticate report though, once you are logged in to CopyPatrol. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:01, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
I will explain it a different way. The "compare" button won't work any more whether you are logged in or not, because of the revision deletion. But when you are logged in, you will see a second button below it, labelled "iThenticate report". That's the link to click on to view what was found by the detection service. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:49, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
@Diannaa: Okay. Thanks for your patience. I'll just look through the original source and my composition, and see if there are spots where the latter can be further paraphrased. Thanks again. 19:40, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Sermon on the 'Mount (South Park): Minor Edit

Information icon Hi Nightscream! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Sickofancy and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. IzzySwag (talk) 17:13, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

@IzzySwag: Sorry. So many of my edits tend to be minor copy edits that I must've clicked on the Minor Edit box out of habit, and not realizing it. Thanks for keeping my on my toes about that. I've further copyedited the phrase to change "general agreement" to the more descriptive and less contentious fact that multiple sources reported it. I hope that's okay with you. Nightscream (talk) 20:36, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
All good to both! :) We all accidentally click the minor edit button sometimes IzzySwag (talk) 20:42, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Sandbox empty headings

Hi Nightscream,

There is a strong effort to fix lint errors throughout Wikipedia, including Empty headings. Your sandbox had empty headings lint errors. I fixed them on 19 May 2025, and you reverted my edit 29 October 2025. If you don't like the way I fixed the empty headings errors, please fix them in another way. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 04:29, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

No. My sandbox, my decision. Nightscream (talk) 14:23, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Claremont Institute

@Nightscream, pointing out someone's mistake is useful, as there's a good chance you can help them avoid it next time. Adding a condescending comment about what they "should" know, however, is neither necessary, helpful, nor kind. Unfortunately, this type of attitude often has the opposite effect, as it makes the other person feel defensive, and that way, they are less likely to heed the useful part of your message. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:07, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Wrong.
This "type of attitude", as you characterize it, consisted of criticism of an long-time editor -- you -- who was defending the deliberate violation of Wikipedia's guidelines, despite the fact that those guidelines are clear, and after another editor pointed those guidelines out to them, with wikilinks.
The first time I removed that material, I offered no criticism of any particular editor. After you reverted it nonetheless with an anemic rationale that was not derived from WP policy, despite being reminded of those policies/guidelines, a more critical tone was more appropriate in my second edit summary. The self-serving whining with which you refuse to ackowledge, by contrast, is not. Nightscream (talk) 02:43, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
You appear to enjoy telling others they are wrong. It seemed worth a try to get you to tone down the antagonistic attitude; I guess not everyone is open to improvement, however. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:55, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
Again, the relevant takeaway is that you were wrong to do what you did. It is not that I was wrong to point this out. If you cannot accept valid criticism, then you should reconsider whether you're qualified to be a part of a collaborative project that requires this. That tone-deafness with which you refuse to even consider this, or even discuss, while pretending that person telling you this is the one who "cannot accept improvement", is rather unfortunate, but it does nothing to falsify what I'm saying.
If you can falsify what I said above then do so. If not, then stop whining about it. Nightscream (talk) 01:26, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

Did you get this from a translation tool? I don't know much about Italian clothing sizes but B-cup seems dubious to me. --Jameboy (talk) 14:57, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

@Jameboy: Yeah, you're right. I had Google translate the page, but didn't look carefully enough at the translation. Being that I speak basic Italian, I would've caught that had I done so. When I copied and pasted just that passage into Google Translate (and for that matter, just look at the words she used at a glance), I see now that she literally said "I have a sixth", or translated for intended meaning, "I have a size 6." Thanks for catching that. I feel like such a boob. A size 6 boob. Nightscream (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
Nessun problema! I've modified the link slightly to point to Italian sizes in particular. I made the assumption that she was talking about Italian sizes since the interview was in Italian; additionally, Italians seem to use Roman numerals for ordinals (e.g. centuries), so "sesta" seems to refer to "VI" in the sizing chart. However please feel free to revert if those assumptions are wrong. --Jameboy (talk) 17:56, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
@Jameboy: Oh wow, I didn't even see that there was a subsection specifically for Italy. Again, I feel like such a boob. :-) Thanks again. :) Nightscream (talk) 23:46, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
