User talk:The Great Epiphany

• I've reverted your edit to Homeschooling because it is unclear. It implies that parents may prefer to homeschool their children or be forced to due to behaviour issues. I don't see that supported in the prose; I suggest you discuss the change at Talk:Homeschooling and indicate where it is sourced; if other editors agree and consensus is formed, then you may add the text. —C.Fred (talk) 00:14, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply] Sometimes, people might have issues with learning and schools dont have Special accommodations towards their students.

Thanks for reverting that message on The Bushranger's talk page. I tried to the moment I saw it, but I haven't updated to the latest ChromeOS update, and it loaded too slow. At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter WHO removes the messages, it matters that is was removed. Have a lovely day, and happy 2026.

May I ask why you reverted my revert today?

Was my description not sufficient? Or was this some automated thing?

I made the revert because the number 2,628,811 that was there before is correct according to the source that was already there (and still is)

The number 18,967,000 and the source that was added with it are not for Osaka City but for the Osaka Metro Area, and it's not even the correct number for 2005 but for either 2007 or 2024 according to that source itself. The whole sentence doesn't make sense anymore with that number because it says it's "an increase of 30,037 or 1.2% from 2000". The math ain't mathing

Since I can't see or think of any reason why my edit should be reverted, I suppose I'll revert your revert of my revert.

If this is the wrong place to discuss this I apologize. I have close to zero experience editing Wikipedia. Inotlikethis (talk) 17:46, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It removed refrences that were valuable to the article, please make sure when removing content from an article to discuss it in the edit summary. Thank you. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝙴𝚙𝚒𝚙𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚢👁👄👁 (talk) 18:10, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] I see, so I should've explained in the edit summary why I think the reference I removed didn't contribute value to the article, right? Thanks for the advice. Inotlikethis (talk) 13:37, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] You are welcome, thank you for contributing to our online encyclopedia.

You have been trouted for: why you remove my thing about drinks on CD disks being used as cupholders

Oh, I undid my undo, so sorry, please continue editing.

I don't know, but I keep thinking you are an administrator, haha! Thanks for fighting vandalism, and have a good day. (I mean this as a compliment by the way) BoxOfThings123 (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi The Great Epiphany. You should leave tagging users as socks to admins, clerks and checkusers. Especially if the account isn't blocked. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 19:54, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you for telling me. I won't do that again. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝙴𝚙𝚒𝚙𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚢👁👄👁 (talk) 01:28, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

• Voting in the 2026 Steward elections started on 06 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC) and will end on 27 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC). The confirmation process for current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Hello! I see that you have blanked a blocked user's User Talk page giving WP:DENY as the reasoning. While it may be appropriate to remove comments by the blocked user, I would generally recommend that you not remove messages that directly explain to a user why they have been blocked. It's not recognizing a troll to explain why they can't edit Wikipedia. Thanks! (ESkog)(Talk) 18:49, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry, I thought they were an LTA. 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚝 𝙴𝚙𝚒𝚙𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚢👁👄👁 (talk) 18:50, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply] They are. :) But there's no reason not to treat them like every other user instead of giving them recognition as an LTA. You've got the DENY logic backwards if you treat them specially. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:25, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
