Hi! Did you not read through my post right before yours at [[Thread:206566]]? I was trying to stress that we '''cannot allow self-sourcing''' and we have '''no way of knowing for sure that these posters are who they claim to be''', and you've undone that by giving them validity (to quote your words: "the FP authors in this thread"). I (and the few other active admins) have had to deal with a lot of activity lately regarding our distinction between valid and invalid, and it doesn't help at all to have an admin (especially one who hasn't edited in a long time and might not be familiar with more recent policy decisions) come in and completely undermine our efforts. I suggest you read the policy and forum thread I cited since they are apparently new for you. Thanks.

I'm also still finding my way around, it's strangely like the old days of the wiki (even saying stuff like that reminds me how long I've been editing on the wiki!). Everything seems to work similarly, but I think there'll need to be a review policies etc, now we're not under the auspices of those over there, and just a lot of historical stuff that's come and gone. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 00:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 
:Sorry, no, I did not see your post before mine. I started a reply a while back, and was interrupted before I finished; you must have posted while I was dealing with my sleepless daughter.
 
:I can understand the objections to self-sourcing, but I can also personally verify that the authors in question are who they say they are. At least, they are posting on [https://www.facebook.com/stuartamdouglas/posts/10155614226059502 Stuart Douglas' Facebook page] that they have commented in that thread.
 
:Anyway, not intending to undermine anything. I just thought that the views of the authors and publishers were relevant to the discussion. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] [[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:50, December 21, 2016 (UTC)

I like to keep conversations together. If you leave me a note here, I'll usually respond here. If I've started a conversation on your talk page, I'll usually check your talk page for a reply. (There may be exceptions, but that's the general pattern.) If a conversation jumps between pages, I'll often copy it over so that the whole thing appears on one page.

Working out the new and old[[edit source]]

I'm also still finding my way around, it's strangely like the old days of the wiki (even saying stuff like that reminds me how long I've been editing on the wiki!). Everything seems to work similarly, but I think there'll need to be a review policies etc, now we're not under the auspices of those over there, and just a lot of historical stuff that's come and gone. --Tangerineduel / talk 00:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
