A polite request

Hi. When you fail GAs, could you please either 'archive' the nomination (for example at Talk:Niggas in Paris/GA1 ↗) or explicitly state "I'm failing this" in your closing comment? I accessed Talk:Hyperpop/GA1 ↗ via a wikilink rather than the talk page and assumed your "I've given a lot of time and space to this review" comment was a warning, so went through Hyperpop ↗ removing all the unreliable sources. (I was hoping to run this as a double DYK nom with Kim Petras ↗ - see WT:DYK#Trans Day of Visibility ↗ for context - but the WP:COATRACK ↗ violations tell me the whole article might need a rewrite and I'm not sure I've got long enough.)--Launchballer ↗ 07:10, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

:@Launchballer Thanks for the heads-up and sorry for the confusion! I didn't realize it didn't auto-archive or something when failed on the talkpage. Either way, nice work on the Kim Petras GA/DYK. For what it's worth, I don't think it suffers from the lack of hyperpop GA connection. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 22:39, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

A polite request

Hello, thanks for your contributions to Fashion Institute of Technology ↗. Please exercise caution and diligence to merge content when reverting on pages with other successive non-disputed edits, so as not to undo the edits beyond the scope of what you are reverting. —BrechtBro (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

:Please exercise the same caution. When you are changing something that you know is a matter of dispute, as you did there, it may be best to centralize your successive edits, so as not to result in unintentional issues like this. Otherwise it's like layering good faith edits over something you know is a controversial edit (your change of FIT's classification) to make it harder for people to properly address the controversial edit.
:Also, I've asked you this before, but please try and not be a jerk about following my edits. I have seen pages that you've changed before that I don't agree with, but have, with our past disputes, avoided engaging, so as not to raise any issues. I got involved with the SUNY RMs because I have a strong opinion there and it's naturally a discussion, but now you've gone into the FIT talk page, which unlike Modern clowning ↗, you can't have had a watchlist on, disagreed with my comment in responding to a month-old comment and then reverted my changes. That's frankly jerk behavior, even if you may be doing it based on a belief in good faith that one version is better. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
::You may wish to look at the revision history of Fashion Institute of Technology ↗. —BrechtBro (talk) 16:16, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I genuinely don't get what you mean. I see you categorized it as a community college days before I classified it as that in the lead? That doesn't seem to have any bearing on anything else.
:::You also didn't do the courtesy of ''trying'' to engage with what I said here in a meaningful way. I don't know why you see value in this type of behavior. It's just a waste of everybody's time. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 23:08, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
::::You could have easily merged the content by changing only the single disputed sentence back to your preferred version. I'm only asking you consider such conservative action in the future. See WP:REVONLY ↗. That edit in question was executed on its own without any other changes in the article and described in the edit summary, easy to find. If I seem terse in my reply above, consider that you have made serious allegations about my behavior in both of your responses here. —BrechtBro (talk) 03:08, 13 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::I changed something. Then I made a talkpage post. Then you made your own comment to a different (inactive) comment in that same thread, disagreeing with the change. I try to incorporate your feelings into the changes and then you just revert it all. Then you have the gall, when I miss a small portion of your bundle of individual edits, to come to my talkpage and make a meal of it. Especially after our previous disputes where you exhibited WP: Game ↗ and wikilawyering ↗ tendencies (each time I tried to challenge a given interpretation of a policy you cite, suddenly you have a different policy).
:::::Then you put a "disputed" tag on information that isn't disputed and hours after someone came in the talkpage and agreed with myself and another person about it being a community college, the tag's still there. So yes, I'm starting to wonder whether this is the behavior of someone who operates in good faith in these disagreements. I'm sorry if that makes you feel like terseness is the remedy, but frankly, you've done nothing in the past months to dissuade me and you ''continue'' to unduly revert edits and then refuse to allow any reasonable middle ground or resolution. It's a big website and there are plenty of issues out there (plenty of worse issues in that same article even). Who does this reversion-of-every-possible disagreement help?

''One Riot, One Ranger''

I notice that you made an extensive series of edits to '':One Riot, One Ranger ↗''. I think the edits are very well-written and have improved the page substantially, but the section on Jay Banks' involvement in the Mansfield incident is a bit long, and has (ironically) become much more detailed than the :Mansfield school desegregation incident ↗ article that it references. I suggest that this content should be merged with the article about the desegregation incident and the explanation in the article about the statue pared back. Additionally, I think that :Jay Banks ↗ (which is a redlink as I write this) should target the Mansfield school desegregation incident page after the edits are done. I feel that your recent edits prove that his involvement is encyclopedic under :WP:GNG ↗, but as a public figure, he probably falls under :WP:BIO1E ↗. Carguychris (talk) 19:12, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

:User:Carguychris Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the outside look. I've definitely waffled a bit about how long that section is. I lean toward it adding proper context, since a good part of the controversy (which is for better or worse the main notability of the statue) concerns him and his role at Mansfield/Texarkana. Definitely noticed the unfortunate gaps in the Mansfield page (and absence of a page for Texarkana and other civil rights movement in Texas pages). Once I finish with this one, I'll try and circle back and build out the Mansfield page. I also think that the Ranger portion would be a relatively small piece of each of those articles, just a few sentences about the Rangers being called and their disinclination to support the students. Their involvement is a controversy for the Rangers and for the statute, but they didn't change the course of the events so much in Mansfield/Texarkana as far as I can tell.
:It also got a bit long since I tried to add extra context to a fuller picture, given the other pages' current issues. I kind of think he would merit a page (his national TV appearances don't seem directly related to Mansfield/Texarkana, he has the statue controversy, and he was covered consistently in the press until his death (often with mentions of various Ranger operations, not just Mansfield/Texarkana—this article ↗ from 1978, unfortunately only available as a low-res screenshot, gives an idea)) and if he has one, that section could be halved easily. That said, it's not really on my list rn. Either way, thanks again! I'll see what pruning I can do.
:Also if you happen to live in DFW and/or might go to a Rangers game, the article could desperately use a higher quality picture of the statue. There might be one out there that's usable, but haven't been able to find one yet. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice on the article. I’ll continue to refine it with your advice and make sure it is in accord with the instructions provided. I won’t plan on submitting it again until then, and that probably won’t be for a long while anyway. It’s my hometown and I wanted to get it to a more comprehensive place since most rural towns don’t get the attention most larger towns do, so I may have been overly eager to get it out there. Thanks!
