Kennedy Curse

[edit]Why don't you specify what is disruptive and what is not? In football you use flags for players and officials, then why not in cricket? You just tell about what should be the length, talk about what should be mentioned and what not Rudraaac (talk) 16:08, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Short description has all you need. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 16:12, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- Leave short description, why is there a flag in front of Lionel Messi at the 2026 FIFA World Cup page? Then why shouldn't there be a flag in front of Virat Kohli in cricket? Rudraaac (talk) 16:24, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
- Beats me, I don't care about flags at all. You can continue discussing this on your talk page, not here. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 17:11, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

Question about lifting my topic ban
[edit]Hello, a little over a year ago, as a condition of unblocking my access to the article for emailSanta.com, you placed a topic ban on all Santa-related articles for me. I have voluntarily abided by that topic ban and have refrained from editing such articles. I think I am ready to have the green light to return to those articles (not that I will at the moment, as I don't have anything to write about them, but I want to have a clean record). May you please tell me that I'm good to go once again for editing these articles, so we may all consider this issue resolved and so that I may be in fully good standing once again? Thanks! Félix An (talk) 03:01, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
- Well, your topic ban is simply an agreement with the unblock admin (me) -- there's nothing on your "record" to indicate it. How about, "your topic ban from things Santa-related is lifted, but it still would be wise to stay away from there." --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 04:25, 11 July 2026 (UTC)
- OK, thank you very much! Félix An (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Micky Dolenz's photo
[edit]Hello sir,
I have great respect for your trumpeting work and am a fan of The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. However, I was wondering if it was possible for you to un-revert my edit of Micky Dolenz's photo to one from 1966. I believe that era of The Monkees is the most recognizable era, and since Wikipedia strives to provide users with accurate and relevant information, I believe the other photo is more suitable.
Tell Danny Elfman that No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo is a banger. Thank you. ~2026-44837-68 (talk) 04:18, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- You should discuss this on the article talk page. You might gain a consensus for it there. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 04:21, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- P.S. Your bird list link is no longer active, and I would really love to see it! Please fix it if you are able.
- Thank you. ~2026-44837-68 (talk) 04:19, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- Believe it or not, you're only the second person in 20 years to have commented on the existence of that link. I'll put it up somewhere else. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 04:23, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
