Due to recent events, and my poor health, I have decided that it is best for me to retire indefinitely. I had a lot of fun working with you. Scorpions13256 (talk) 18:10, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I'm back. After further consideration, and the completion of caffeine withdrawal and vaccination side effects, I have decided to return. However, I will likely not be as active as I once was because this week has changed my view of this website tremendously. Scorpions13256 (talk) 00:35, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Perhaps you should read WP:OWB #61. It's one of the things that has kept me here. Firestar464 (talk) 12:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. That essay described me perfectly. On another note, I have noticed some concerning behavior with you on WP:RSN. It is not good to start RFCs on absolutely every newspaper in existence. This is especially true for newspapers that have no chance of being downgraded anytime soon. If you want, I can tell you a source that might be a good idea to start an RFC on. I have been meaning to do it for a while, but I was not feeling good enough until recently. Just to be clear, I am not 100% sure this is wise. Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:08, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Huh, I guess I should stay off RSN until a more debatable source pops up for discussion. Firestar464 (talk) 04:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

I am not saying that at all. Participate all you want. I am just saying that bad RFCs can be disruptive at times. Scorpions13256 (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Uhhhh, I'm just saying I should be more careful. Firestar464 (talk) 03:37, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Sorry. I must have misinterpreted what you said. Scorpions13256 (talk) 17:06, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Check WP:RSN. See what I mean? I should have taken my own advice.  Self-trout Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:44, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Dear Firestar464. I am new to Wikipedia edits and may have violated protocol by editing a page about myself. The edits I made contained information only about MIT research. There is no commercial interest. There are no disputed about facts with another user. I see that the information on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Larson has reverted to a much earlier version. If the new edits are improper, I am OK to a reset to the version prior to the edits I recently made. Many of the useful links and references have been lost.

You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE Kent Larson (talk) 19:18, 28 June 2021 (UTC) I have reviewed the Wikipedia policies, and will refrain from making edits to articles about me in the future. Can I SUGGEST that this material be restored?

Kent Larson Sorry if I came across as unfriendly, but per WP:COI, you must request edits on the talk page. Exceptions include simple copy-edits, reverting vandalism, and removing unsourced info per WP:BLP. Firestar464 (talk) 02:41, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to stop by and say hi. The fact that you have done so much RCP lately with few complaints has been encouraging. It makes it happy to know that the community has not chased off another valuable contributor. You're not going to get blocked anytime soon. Thank you for everything you do around here.

I don't think my last edit was inaccurate because it was a grammatical edit. Zeon26 (talk) 12:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

I deleted the troll content, in the story, Vu Duy Chi (1604-1678) died before Duong Ngan Dich came to Viet Nam, so he has nothing to do with this https://vi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C5%A9_Duy_Ch%C3%AD Duong landed in Vietnam in 1679 after Vu Duy Chi died. sorry for the bad english 171.243.167.47 (talk) 09:16, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. Since you just copied and pasted content from the article into your edit summary, I assumed you were trolling, and reverted your edit. Sorry about that. Firestar464 (talk) 10:33, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Please note that putting URLs in edit summaries does not qualify as citing a source on Wikipedia. Please add citations for the Ukraine war map to Cities and towns during the Russo-Ukrainian War, using a citation template. You can learn about citing sources at WP:INTREF. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 08:53, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, but the issue is currently moot; the fighting is over. --Firestar464 (talk) 08:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I assumed you may wish to edit the map in the future. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 08:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I am watching the map. --Firestar464 (talk) 08:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Okay, so it's not moot. Please properly cite a source when editing the map in the future. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 09:00, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I thought you were referring to my edit to Sumy as opposed to my editing in general. Sorry. --Firestar464 (talk) 09:01, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

I was referring to you reverting me. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 09:02, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

No problem. Firestar464 (talk) 09:03, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Hey, doubt the warning you gave me was intentional as it was a rewording on a specific part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, not an extension of (or addition of any new info to) the original article :) - pivotman319 (📫) 14:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Yeah I hereby accept my trout... :P --Firestar464 (talk) 02:34, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that you weren't very popular, so here is a goat for you. Happy editing!

Hi, I want to follow up with more of a rationale for my revert. I found this source that says:

Russian advances on the Ukrainian capital have slowed, but forces are roughly 25 kilometers (16 miles) outside the city, the [defense official] said.

The information added to the Battle of Kyiv (2022) article referred to casualties from the Battle of Kharkiv (2022). ― Tartan357 ^Talk 06:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
