Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Delusional parasitosis, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.
- (talk page stalker) Sundayclose, you added a "See also" for an article about a movie to Delusional parasitosis. Roxy the dog reverted it, and you reverted him back, with an edit summary that read in part "If you want it removed again, get consensus on talk page". That seems to be a mistake. It's you who should attempt to get consensus on talk, per WP:BRD. It's an even bigger mistake to post a warning template intended for newbies on Roxy. Please take the issue to article talk yourself, rather than attempting to force it through with such inappropriate actions. Bishonen | tålk 20:45, 9 June 2022 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: point taken, and on reflection I agree completely. I marked out the warning, and my apologies to Roxy the dog. Thanks for this message. Sundayclose (talk) 22:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Yep, I feel that I normally do pretty well with edsums, but dropped the ball with this one, so SC had some justification for commenting. For some years now I have ignored any templating silliness, intended or not, as life is calmer that way. Thanks to both of you, it's all good here. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 06:53, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks Roxy. Wish I had a dollar for every time I forgot to leave an edit summary. I could take a nice vacation. :) Sundayclose (talk) 13:17, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- If one goes to user preferences, editing, section on editor, there's a box one can check, labeled "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". I've been using that for a long time, and I find it helpful in saving me from forgetting to leave an edsum. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:57, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Editing on Joe Root
Can you tell why u have edited the Joe root version of page Anshul Srivastava.21 (talk) 16:59, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- As my edsum said, it was unsourced. Further, it was unsupported by body text per WP:LEAD -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 17:37, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- But it's a well established fact one can look by even doing a Google search about the fab four, no offense any way Anshul Srivastava.21 (talk) 07:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- We dont introduce unsourced "facts" by policy. When I google "fab four" I get lots of stuff about a 1960's beat combo. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 07:28, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Good catch...
and thank you for the report. If you come across something like this again, could I ask you to use the procedures outlined at WP:REVDELREQUEST or WP:RFO? I know the contact methods there aren't ideal, but the AN(I)-Streisand effect can unfortunately be fairly strong for cases like this. Thanks! --Blablubbs (talk) 10:36, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- I really should have known to do that rather than ANI, and I had some reservations but couldn't, in the heat of the moment, think of a better way. Thanks for your prompt actions too. I'm going to put WP:REVDELREQUEST and WP:RFO in my sandbox for future reference. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 11:52, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Kate Bush
With Stranger Things bringing Kate new fans and the longest wait for a number one hit, I am reminded of the best ever Kate bush track, on youtube. Glorious. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 15:27, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm going to take a risk, with the hope this isn't plonker-like behavior, and post here. I've been a long-time fan of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, but it's always bothered me that they don't use a bass ukulele more often, and instead use a standard acoustic bass guitar. I've got one of these strung with these, and it sounds absolutely amazing. They've got all manner of other ukuleles in use, I think I've even seen them use some banjoleles, but they seem to shun the bass uke. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- I think it is safe to say that if I cannot remember the reason I asked you to stay away, there is no longer any need to stay away. It will have been something petty that enraged me at the time. I'm pleased that I dont remember. Please dont remind me.
- They all look very young on that video, Kitty has not been with us for a couple of years I think, so sad.
- I did know that he used an accoustic bass guitar, but didn't know there was such a thing as a bass uke. If they didn't use a bass instrument of some type I dont think they would be as entertaining musically. It grounds the sound, so to speak.
- I never owned a uke, but could do basic stuff, but my dad did a full on "standing on the corner" with twiddley bits at the drop of a hat. Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 23:02, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- The bass uke is a pretty unusual instrument. The strings are basically very thick, round rubber bands. I can pull the e string almost a foot from the body. I'm not much of a string player, although I've been a percussionist for a few decades. I recently picked up concertina as well, which is a fun little instrument. I also took fiddle lessons for a while, but I don't have the ears for fretless instruments.
- I learned my ukulele skills from my wife when we were dating. She's got a few decades on strings, and had an absolutely huge collection of ukuleles, mandolins, dulcimers, banjos and guitars. Ukulele is fun because it's so easy to pick up and strum songs. You can learn the most common chord progressions in an afternoon. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:15, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Since we've both been reverting them...
I just thought I'd give you an fyi about this: [1]. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:02, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Interesting. I have no idea how to find similar behaviour on articles that aren't on my watchlist from different IP's. I just thought I was sweeping up some rando. Let's see what happens from your report. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 23:07, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- The way to find that is to look at the user contributions of the IP (along with checking the edit history of the vandalized pages for other recent vandalism). I tend to do that as a matter of habit with vandalism, so I can revert the rest of the vandalism. I just posted at ANI that the IP here is now doing block evasion. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:37, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- FYI, as an example, I saw this: [2], and then did this: [3]. --Tryptofish (talk) 18:37, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- You both get all the fun. I get stuck in boring notability discussions over whether someone should be called a producer, executive producer or film financier. I need another hobby. Perhaps BASE jumping. I hear that's kinda interesting and edgy. --ARoseWolf 16:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it's exactly fun reporting a vandal who keeps posting about hemorrhoids. (Arguably more like a pain in the... ) --Tryptofish (talk) 17:05, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Yoruba religion - ìṣẹ̀ṣe symbol
Hello Roxy, The symbol of ìṣẹ̀ṣe religion added is the genuine symbol of the religion, as it's been explained by ifá - Iwájú Ọpọ́n - Ẹ̀yìn Ọpọ́n - Olùmú Ọ̀tún - Olùkànràn Òsì - Àárín Ọpọ́n Ìta Ọ̀run.
The symbol simply explained the philosophical concept of the four cardinal point of the earth.. Ìṣẹ̀ṣeAssembly (talk) 09:40, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have no idea what the yoruba language in your post on means, but I believe you made those two images yourself, which is imho WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. I had, and still have, every justification for removing those two images because of this. I have not yet decided what to do because you have reinstated them. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 07:51, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Roxy the dog this is on my watchlist and I meant to delete it as unsourced, which I’ve now done. Doug Weller talk 08:32, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I think it is on my watchlist because of you. I saw that you had removed that Image just now before I saw this. There is another image they made, equally synth and imho meaningless in an english language wiki, that they added back, which I am tempted to remove. I was in the process of trying to remember where my interestwas sparked too, so thanks. -Roxy the grumpy dog. wooF 08:37, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- It would also be useful to have an rs for Iṣẹṣe which is probably used correctly but I’m not sure. Doug Weller talk 08:38, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
