So simple!
Hahahaha! So simple! Or, at least, the user apparently thought it would be that simple. Bishonen | tålk 21:56, 29 April 2022 (UTC).
Mysterious Mystic Knights Member
Hello Mr. Gordon, I was wondering if you had any more info on Musti Faun who you said was in The Mystic Knights Of The Oingo Boingo with you? I don't think I know anything about this person but I have a hunch "Musti Faun" is a stage name? Thanks, TitanicFog (talk) 02:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I don't know much about her. She was our choreographer and appeared with us during our runs at the Century City Playhouse and at the Daisy in Beverly Hills from '73 to '75. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 02:33, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oh how excellent - The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo! I have not heard those words for a while. May I help out? Netherzone (talk) 02:39, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sure. We're having a real hard time actually documenting the membership of the band from that period; there's a ton of rumor and word of mouth and a paucity of reliable sources. I only know of two reliable sources with names of the members: an LA Times review from March 26, 1975, and a Variety one from April 7 1975. (There are pointers to my own copies of them at Talk:Oingo Boingo.) There are also a lot of photos, but the attributions of some are dubious. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 02:48, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I will have a look at these and to see what else might be out there. This is a busy time for me at work but things will lighten ups soon, and there are no deadlines in WP, thankfully! Netherzone (talk) 02:53, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you so much sir! And actually Danny, Charlie Unkeless, and Jan Munroe helped me identify the members! TitanicFog (talk) 02:58, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, and that's exactly word of mouth. See WP:V; unpublished personal communications of any sort don't work as sources. I'm not questioning the validity of any of this, just the suitability of it given Wikipedia's strict rules. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:30, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.

I don't much care whether you answer the user, but I'd like to know if possible. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:59, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Let's see, User:(SONIC Unleashed)and-Chip, User: Flawed WRKD (made, not used), User:Love12many. But it could well be instead a schoolblock situation -- same users were using an IP (other CU info also matched) that was subject to a single article rangeblock on a high school article a couple of months ago. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
