General Ization is trying to take a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. Most likely, however, General Ization will not be able to keep away from Wikipedia for that long, and will probably be back a lot earlier while making some small edits every once in a while anyway.

Hi ... a few days ago you helped remove the vandalism on the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles page. But I've noticed some more vandalism that I hadn't seen before. In the infobox under Nicknames it says "Silvertails Chip Thieves". The Silvertails part is correct, the rest is the vandalism. However when I try to delete Chip Thieves I get a string of warning messages. Can you tell me what is going on there? Bryan Krippner (talk) 12:44, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bryan Krippner: Without knowing the content of the "warning messages" you received, I couldn't say, but I've removed the latest vandalism. Thanks. General Ization ^Talk 01:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still see the warning messages when I edit the page (without submitting) and select "Show Preview". Bryan Krippner (talk) 04:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

Seven years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:50, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @Gerda Arendt, but I'm curious ... I've been editing Wikipedia using this account since January 9, 2006 (18 1/2 years ago). What is this the seventh anniversary of? General Ization ^Talk 00:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see (at Wikipedia:WikiProject Quality Article Improvement/Precious). But may I suggest that you say a bit more in order to clarify the matter as you congratulate editors on the anniversary of their first receiving QAI recognition? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one puzzled about this. (I have actually been puzzled about this for at least the last six years, but finally became enough so to ask you about it.)

It's meant as the beginning of a conversation, which worked this time ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
