MOS discretionary sanctions alert
NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:29, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks User:NinjaRobotPirate but I already knew. Why do you think I started off with a talk discussion instead of a bold edit? (And no, you don't need to tell me this notice is required before sanctions can be instituted. I have no intention to make any edits before consensus is reached) Regards, CapnZapp (talk) 09:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Raegan Revord
In case you're interested, I wanted to let you know Raegan Revord of Young Sheldon's article is currently at User:Alden_Loveshade/Raegan_Revord. I hope to see it return to main space. Responsible edits are welcomed there. Alden Loveshade (talk) 01:47, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
November 2020
Regarding your repeated removal of a relevant see also at The Queen's Gambit (miniseries). Since your bold edit was reverted, please now establish consensus first, otherwise this is edit warring. Debresser (talk) 13:17, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- You really need to stop viewing disagreement as edit warring. Also, you do realize your clumsy revert also removed the brief annotations that was added since? Please add those back. CapnZapp (talk) 14:13, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
Queen's Gambit
You're going after User:YoungForever a little too aggressively. She's one of the good guys, she ought to be on our side. What we should probably try to do is find a source raising similar concerns that is more widely accepted. How about this one? MaxBrowne2 (talk) 09:34, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop
Please stop reverting my edits to bump your edit count. Your comment is nonsensical, and the edit is not defensible. Lexein (talk) 09:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
AFC
You recently removed a "decline" from a review with the edit summary "rm submission declined, wasn't (re)submitted for AFC review".[1]
The decline is from 12/28.[2] The previous submission was on 12/15.[3]
Did I miss something? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- That second AFC was an "empty" AFC and the appropriate action - had I caught it in time - would have been to revert 103.154.54.87's edit as a test edit (since that IP user has made only that single edit, no reason to assume vandalism). While I have nothing against Modussiccandi's decision I felt it unnecessary to saddle the draft with a second decline since it doesn't bring anything new to the table. CapnZapp (talk) 09:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you!
I don't know how to leave messages on here, so hope you see this! 70.23.34.152 (talk) 16:10, 5 February 2021 (UTC) Sarah

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:The Queen's Gambit (miniseries). Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 20:21, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

CapnZapp, I don't really understand how Wikipedia works systematically, so I don't know how to summon you to a talk page for an article, but the name of Toryn Farr is relevant. Non-notability is not relevant to article contents per [[WP::NNC]]. She has been identified as such in multiple different works (not just Tales of the Bounty Hunters), and the name of the character she played, even if it's not in the original film, is entirely relevant information to include in the article. She's even identified in the article's sources! Hppavilion1 (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
My disappointing reply
Anyway, see you at the inevitable talk or merge discussion after this initial sparring match is over. Hopefully I don't have to say "told you so"...
This will not happen as I will be avoiding Queen's Gambit articles and other articles where you are active. Your domineering, battleground behaviour derailed the Afd process and made the evolution of a consensus impossible. You have repeatedly shown a disrespectful attitude to other editors. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 21:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- First off, it was made clear to me the consensus was only allowed to revolve around "delete or not delete". Once the prospect of reaching a consensus to delete had evaporated, what was there left to discuss? I fully agree with you and your reasons to start the AfD, and I am not disappointed in you, just the way some users use (or rather, not use) the AfD process.

Archiving
Hi CapnZapp, about the archiving, I wanted to address your concerns; The bot you added is still there, and manually archiving won't affect it, (that is... if the bot is working at all. Sometimes there's issues). There is already an archive listing and search box at the top the page, so no need for a duplicate. Those "external links notifications" were discontinued back in 2017. They can actually be deleted, but I just leave them with the page when swapping to an archive. Anyway, we certainly don't need to keep them. As for the table of contents, they are automatically added only after there's a third level-2 section header. As for "eating" the toc, you would get the same result anyway, even if the page were archived by a bot. That said, if you want one there for some reason, you can add it manually, and I did that on the page to show you. If you have any questions, just lemme know. Have a nice day - wolf 17:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- No, I'm asking you to not manually archive pages where the bot is active *especially* on the same day I set up the automatic archival bot. I especially would like to ask you not to intervene with the argument "the bot might not work" - instead please assume I know how to set it up correctly. Thank you. The archive listing and search box at the top are something you added when you added the talk header, so *you* created the duplication. Please don't use that as as an argument to revert my fixes. (Of course there can be a talk header. It's easy to instruct it to not show any archive index and search box). I don't care about those external links notifications, I just partially reverted you to comply with the archival settings I just set up - leaving four sections, which...
- ... in turn ensures the TOC. So, I don't need to manually add a TOC, and you don't need to do it for me.
- In fact the next time you see someone adding bot instructions you don't need to do anything besides leaving the page alone! Please do so for 24 hours to let the bot do the work it has just been set up to do, before considering any further action. Thank you.
- Now then, the big question: why did you revert my fixes, User:Thewolfchild?! CapnZapp (talk) 22:25, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Just as a heads-up, now I've restored it all to how I first intended it. The TOC will appear as soon as a fourth section is added (not three) - and remain there (since the archive bot's instructions prevent it from archiving to below four sections). Please let us now both leave the page alone for the time being (without discussing first). Thank you CapnZapp (talk) 22:37, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- No, the *big* question is why you would get so bent out of shape over the archiving of a low traffic, start-class talk page, claiming I interfered with your settings and "fixes"(?), and then go on to edit-war so you can what... put back the archive box that interferes with the page layout and text of the top thread, then go on and add a couple of pat-yourself-on-the-back, bogus-threads, just to artificially create a TOC, that there's simple markup for, and then top it all off with this rant, complete with talk-page-screaming. That's the big question. - wolf 00:18, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm afraid I'm going to ask Thewolfchild to think about caring again. CapnZapp, you've been making this nannying of talk pages your self-appointed business for far too long now. The above incident (at Talk:Hull_classification_symbol) follows close on the heels of a bizarre time-waster at Talk:Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Please_note:_no_manual_archiving_is_necessary, which in turn comes after an even more bizarre series of threads at
- WT:Talk_page_guidelines/Archive_13#guidance_on_talk_page_size
- WT:Talk_page_guidelines/Archive_13#Article_talk_page_size
- WT:Talk_page_guidelines/Archive_13#User_talk_page_size and (my personal favorite)
- WT:Talk_page_guidelines/Archive_13#Rule_of_thumb.
You've been wasting people's time all over the project with this kind of stuff for a year now, apparently because you're butthurt over the idea of any rule or limitation that applies to everybody else but not me
(as you said at the Twenty-Fifth Amendment link I just gave – though honestly I can't really make heads nor tails of what you mean by that) plus some weird idea that manual archiving is evil (see same link). It's long overdue for you to cut it out. EEng 09:48, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
