Disambiguation link notification for April 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Musée Archéologique de Dijon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Étaules. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:55, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Request for rename
Unless anyone raises an objection, I am willing to make the change of user name you requested. If I do so you will find you can't log in under your old user name. That is no problem, you just log in with your new user name and the same password, but it can be confusing or alarming to suddenly be told you can't log in, so I like to warn editors before renaming. Please post here to show you have read this message, and if I am still online I'll go ahead with renaming; if not, I'll do it when I get back. JBW (talk) 20:43, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- As you requested, I have renamed your account from "Deku link" to "Paragon Deku". JBW (talk) 22:05, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
International Museum Day
Hi Deku: A fellow editor just posted today at DYK that 18 May is "International Museum Day". The plan is now to run several dedicated queues of museum-related hooks, and I wondered if you'd like to have your recently-promoted Musée Archéologique de Dijon added to that list (which would mean waiting until the 18th to run it). Absolutely no pressure – it's already scheduled to run in a few days, and can continue there if you'd prefer. But if you'd like to include it on "museum day", please let us know here. Thanks!

FYI
I'm not very good at moderating my manner of speech by text (though I work on it), but I figured I'd let you know that I'm more of a Foul-Mouthed Goofball than an Angry Internet Warrior. If I say something to you that seems bitter and confrontational, I almost certainly don't mean it that way, it's just me failing miserably at sarcastic and funny. When I'm actually bitter and in the mood to set someone straight, I'm a right bastard of the "indef him immediately and pray to god he doesn't hack anyone" variety, so I tend to step away when I get upset.
I don't think anything you said reflected poorly on you, and I apologize if I gave you the impression that I did. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:39, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- It’s quite ok, having had discussions with more aggressive Wikipedians lately has just put me a bit on edge. I realize what perspective you (and the article) are coming from now on this topic, and I’m not upset in the slightest. Thanks for taking the time to hash it out. Paragon Deku (talk) 21:45, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- I understand that quite well. I once got to the point of frustration with civil POV pushers where I said "fuck it" and doxxed one as a Neo-Nazi pedophilia advocate. He was blocked (of course), but I spent 2 years indeffed for doxxing. I'm not even exaggerating, check my block log and the collapsed bit at the very top of my talk page.
- Believing in a goal like WP's necessarily carries some emotional investment, it's just the nature of being a Wikipedian. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 22:19, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
Radio of Free Asia
Hey - I've created Talk:Radio of Free Asia to try and work on improving this page. Having done a deep dive it's kind of driving me crazy all the links to various intelligence and religious organisations and I don't know what to do with it! Vladimir.copic (talk) 04:21, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- I absolutely hear you, I was driven to the brink of madness attempting to study it and the other Radio Free Asia at the same time (that's why I made the page in the first place, to differentiate them). I must have screenshotted 20+ newspaper articles on my phone when I first went down a research dive. I really appreciate the work you've put in on it, I really think it's underdiscussed in historical sources. I might be able to eventually write up a proper journal article on the topic if I have the time. Paragon Deku (talk) 04:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
AfC for Vaush
I recently created a draft for an article on Vaush. However, upon seeing that an article on him was recently deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vaush, I decided to put the article through the AfC process instead of moving it straight to mainspace. If you have any comments feel free to discuss the draft page at its talk page Draft talk:Vaush. Thanks. Alduin2000 (talk) 20:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
