Apology

Hey Skywatcher68, just so you know, I've restored the gallery sections back the way they were. I sincerely apologize for my edits, when I was reading the WP:Gallery policy, I thought I was doing the right thing by removing them for good faith. But now that I have gave it some thought, I've decided to put it back the way it was just to be safe and sorry. Also, yes, I know what I did was wrong, I should have known better. Again, I sincerely apologize for my edits. I hope you can come to forgiveness and forgive me and not continue to report me, I promise I won't delete them again. 5.42.221.141 (talk) 00:22, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Before my last post at the 3RR noticeboard, I had been looking around other locomotive articles. Judging by those, and the lack of galleries therein, you had it mostly right but neither of us were properly communicating. Simply directing people to WP:whatever or MOS:whatever without specifics is a bad habit of mine; I need to remember that what seems obvious to me might not be to others and to be more specific. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:37, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, thanks for the exchange of ideas. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 17:40, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rogers(s)

There are two T. Rogers in MLB, brothers Taylor and Tyler. Tyler is the one that was reportedly traded to the Mets, Taylor has been traded to the Pirates. 53 (talk) 20:43, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Iqbal Survé Tricia Apollis is now Tricia Survé, as per excessive PR media coverage in Survé's Independent Media platforms. She also launched the Tricia Survé Foundation. https://triciasurvefoundation.org/ Wololo1111 (talk) 14:35, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wololo1111 That only means she's using the name for the foundation. Can you provide a reliable source stating that is now her legal name? –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:38, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And their marriage? –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:38, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/triciasurve/?hl=en This is the name she uses on all of her social media profiles.

Survé referred to her as "my beautiful wife" at a gala dinner where he was the guest speaker:

Thanks. I'm not sure if those qualify; try posting at Talk:Iqbal Survé and see if you can get consensus for inclusion. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:57, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You commented on my talk page

Hello, please check the reply to your comment on my talk page 142.127.4.42 (talk) 19:00, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello! Thank you for reverting that raw LLM content a few minutes ago. I hope it's OK to provide this feedback here: I'm not sure that editor has had quite enough warning prior to the level 3 warning you left. I'm imagining myself in their shoes and seeing a block threat after their third overall edit might be a bit of a shock, especially since they probably don't know our expectations around LLMs until they're (hopefully gently) told otherwise. Again, I hope this feedback is OK to leave here, and if you see my name pop up somewhere and have any feedback on my edits, I encourage you to reach out on my talk page so it may help me improve :) --tony 16:03, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TonySt, you made a good point. I hadn't noticed the Welcome messages were simultaneous so I've downgraded their warning. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:26, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

I have reverted the most recent change (diff link) because I believe it introduces problems that were not resolved in the edit summary (e.g., unsourced material, NPOV issues, unclear consensus). This revert is not intended as an invitation to re-revert; rather, it is a routine application of the bold–revert–discuss cycle (WP:BRD). All further improvements should be proposed on the article’s talk page so that consensus can emerge without edit-warring (WP:EW). Thank you. 2A09:5E41:146:5E20:9D52:A11E:1EE8:A0D6 (talk) 19:12, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to be completely transparent: if the material is re-inserted again without first achieving consensus on the article’s talk page (per WP:BRD and WP:EW), I will open a thread at WP:ANI and let uninvolved administrators review the situation. I’m happy to discuss the content issues calmly on the talk page—that’s always my first choice—but I won’t engage in slow-motion edit-warring. Thank you for understanding. 2A09:5E41:146:5E20:9D52:A11E:1EE8:A0D6 (talk) 19:17, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If can correct more details, warn user, propose deletion... appreciated 93.143.82.218 (talk) 22:25, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I brought up the issue with admin @ToBeFree: whose forte is BLP issues. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 23:17, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh...

I've converted the partial block to a total block. Well, not quite, as they can still edit their own talk page, but I won't be at all surprised if they choose to get that blocked too, pretty soon. JBW (talk) 20:59, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

to Taking Out The Trash, 45dogs, and Alachuckthebuck for tidying up. Yeesh! –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:13, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In Reference to FRA page

Hello, The statement that the school “was founded in 1971 as a segregation academy in response to the court-ordered racial integration of public schools” is not entirely factually accurate and is based a little bit on assumption. In addition, the cited source link (along with others) is broken, which is an issue in itself.

The interview quotes from Bill Bradshaw, while connected to the school, do not accurately describe its history and are unnecessary to include since they represent his personal opinions rather than documented facts.

Similarly, the statement “Inquiries from parents to FRA tripled in 1980 after court rulings expanded desegregation busing in Nashville. At the time, only one of Franklin Road's 745 students was black” is inaccurate, and again, the cited source is broken.

The Gene Andrews guest editorial is also opinion-based and not necessary for a factual history section, especially given that its source link is also broken. The information under the Removal of Confederate symbols section, however, is accurate and appropriate to include.

The David Dark statement likewise reflects only one individual’s perspective and should not be presented as part of the school’s historical record.

On the other hand, my additions regarding the new Upper School building, the campus green, and the AI certification are factually accurate and supported by the sources I cited. I am unclear why these were removed.

I realize this is a lot of feedback, but my goal is to ensure the school’s history is presented accurately and without relying on decades-old opinions or broken sources. Could you also clarify your affiliation with the school? Troubadour95 (talk) 21:04, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Troubadour95, my only interest is keeping Wikipedia uncensored and you appear to be interested in whitewashing the article. That's happened with other schools originally founded as segregation academies. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I respect your opinion and the work you’ve put into this article. I’m not attempting to whitewash or censor anything, my goal is simply to provide accurate information supported by reliable sources. The source you referenced about the school being founded as a segregation academy doesn’t state that directly. However, it does support the claim that the school was established in response to the court-ordered racial integration of public schools. Troubadour95 (talk) 22:51, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for getting back to you sooner, been busy with apparent conflicts of interest. I see no issue there; the AIFF itself has dubbed the team "Futsal Tigers". –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:57, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
