Readers looking for accurate information will not find anything there because it's a goober's userpage.

Hopefully you don't mind me creating a talk page section to say congratu-freaking-lations on the promotion of Rain World! It's such a well-written, well-sourced, well-organized, and well-presented article that I'm surprised you've never brought any other article to FAC or even GAN. For your first venture, it is amazing. Great job!!! <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:#006B59">nub</span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:#8CC301">:)</span> 00:24, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
:Thank you @Nub098765, it means a lot.{{pb}}Ironically, I honestly dislike the process of content creation, which probably explains my lack of GAs and authored articles. It just feels like a slog for me to parse through sources and organize them into an article... which I think makes it even more special for me that I took the time to work on ''this'' particular article since February 2024. It took a lot of time and a lot of opinions from people more experienced than me. I don't think I could have done it without the amazing foundation the author @Czar made and left back in 2017. There were a lot of breaks in-between, but I'm still proud of myself. Thank you! Now I just have to think about what other article I can work on for the next two years ↗. <span style="background-color:black;color:RoyalBlue;font-family:Comic Sans MS;border-radius:20px;padding:2px 2px 2px 2px">''toby''</span> <sup>(t)(c ↗)(''rw'' ↗)</sup> 00:35, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
::I can relate. Unless I'm ''really'' dedicated to a topic, I'm terrible at looking through sources. My attention enters a void from which I cannot pull it. 3 of my 6 total GANs have been improvements on foundations. Hopefully the article ''Fortnite Battle Royale ↗'' can follow the same pipeline ''Rain World'' has with you. I wish you luck on ''Omori'', a game which I have never played but which countless people have recommended to me. Perhaps I should play it. Anyway, again, nice job! <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:#006B59">nub</span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:#8CC301">:)</span> 01:06, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Guest book



Hi, Tarlby ... in the Teahouse (I think it was there), you recently posted something about a guest book, but now I can't find it. At the time I noticed it, I was focused elsewhere and so I planned to come back to it.

I remember one thing about it, though, that I ''must'' share with you. Somewhere in that post of yours I was startled — but in a delightful way — to see my name mentioned in connection with some sort of inspiration you mentioned. It couldn't have come at a more perfect time because a few days earlier in the Teahouse I'd had a rare skirmish with another editor after I'd responded to a message he or she had posted with what turned out to be slightly misplaced humor, as you may have seen. I apologized and I think everything's fine now, but it was a bit painful for both the other editor, apparently, and me. So your cheery little note buried in your message was just the right medicine for me! Augnablik (talk) 05:18, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
:Hey @Augnablik! Yes, I accidentally pinged you when creating my WP:GUESTBOOK ↗ which you can see here. I included on that page various little thoughts I've written overtime on my user page, and one of them is in reference to you!{{pb}}And I am glad to have improved your mood with that. I hope you have a great day :) Happy editing! <span style="background-color:black;color:RoyalBlue;font-family:Comic Sans MS;border-radius:20px;padding:2px 2px 2px 2px">''toby''</span> <sup>''in solidarity ↗''</sup> 17:17, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
::Well, if your ping wasn't intended but it brought about a delightfully recuperative result, I'd like to nominate it for a perfect example, although in a secular setting, of the Christian saying, "O happy fault!";)
::So I see by your signature these days that you're back to ''Toby''. Should we expect regular changes of user names, then? I guess it's one good way of keeping us mentally in shape.
::When I went to sign your guestbook, I noticed the directions were for those who use the Source editor. I'm in the minority of editors who prefer the Visual editor. I can deal with having to use the Source editor from time to time, though with gritted teeth, but just thought to squawk a little. Since joining Wikipedia and immediately gravitating to the VE, but finding myself in a definite minority among editors, I've increasingly gained sympathy for left-handers. I'm sure that with your own appreciation for humor, you can see what I was trying to say. But by the time you read this, I'll probably have succeeded in signing. Augnablik (talk) 11:02, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
:::I like that proverb!{{pb}}I have various usernames across multiple social media sites, including Tarlby, Croissant, Toby, and Toe Beans (did you get the joke for the last one?). Out of the four, I think Toby is simply the best one. It's personal, friendly, and not too confusing like Tarlby. For the foreseeable future, I intend to keep it, because I like it :){{pb}}And yes, I did get the joke. I used to always use Visual Editor when I was a newer editor, but I've slowly been using the source editor more and more as time goes on. Thank you for signing the Guestbook! <span style="background-color:black;color:RoyalBlue;font-family:Comic Sans MS;border-radius:20px;padding:2px 2px 2px 2px">''toby''</span> <sup>''in solidarity ↗''</sup> 20:38, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for reviewing ''Baby Shaker ↗''. If it interests you, I also nominated Ahmed Al-Kaf ↗ and Favre-Leuba ↗ for GA status last year. Again, it's your choice, and I respect that! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat ↗』 07:57, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Homosexual Child Molesting Priests


Not certain I understand how lawsuits about child molesting catholic priests constitute BLP issues when no priests were named in the content. I can certainly provide references and sources for the thousands of lawsuits filed against the catholic church accusing priests of molesting young boys. Please explain how this is a BLP issue. &#126;2026-36607-02 ↗ (talk) 09:09, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Possible Letterpress FAC



Hey, Tarlby:
I saw your email a while back. I would edit ''Letterpress'' ↗ again, but I couldn't seem to address all the nitpicks brought up at the FAC review.
