Please read: If you're coming here wondering why I pinged you about vandalism to your user page when there is no obvious recent vandalism in that page's history, it was probably attempted vandalism by an unconfirmed or anonymous user which was caught by this edit filter. I've been monitoring that filter log because I started the RfC that resulted in its creation.

Your edit to Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur)

In regards to your edit to Bryan Johnson (entrepreneur): There is currently an RFC regarding whether or not information about his life extension practices/attempts can be mentioned in the article or not. You may want to take a look at this RFC here. Given that I think it should be mentioned, I am not going to revert your edit, but a certain other editor will likely revert it if he notices it, as he has reverted when other people have added similar information to the article. Vontheri (talk) 10:16, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I neglected to review the (long) talk page discussion before adding the edit; I didn't think that just mentioning he was involved in these practices would be controversial. I certainly don't think my edit implied endorsement or anything, but if it's reverted I honestly don't care that much. Funcrunch (talk) 16:18, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I never thought just mentioning it would be controversial either, nor did I think merely mentioning it is the same as endorsing it. But apparently others (or an other) see it differently... Vontheri (talk) 16:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

sj Miller

I have a bit of interest in that person sj Miller and I wanted to say that it is still incorrect to use they/them/their to refer to sj Miller. I like editing that page and adding extra information about sj Miller. Beebeenewan (talk) 23:41, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will respond on the article talk page. Funcrunch (talk) 23:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The term "null-pronominal"

Null-pronominal means not using third person pronouns of any kind. I have looked up that term already. Beebeenewan (talk) 23:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't put that term in, some other editor did. Please discuss this on the sj Miller talk page, as I already asked. I will remove any further messages from you on my talk page about this article. Funcrunch (talk) 23:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page reversion at Gloria Hemingway

Thank you for that revert, Funcrunch. For the record, deadnaming is not an adequate reason to revert someone else’s comment (WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS), but WP:NOTFORUM is probably a good enough reason there. — HTGS (talk) 05:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, meant to also tag LilianaUwU! — HTGS (talk) 05:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, it's mostly NOTFORUM I was going for, but I did take offense with the masculine pronouns personally, hence my revert summary. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 16:14, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My bad

Yo @Funcrunch, apologies for that reversion. I was too hyper in deleting content. Bremps... 03:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I'd just taken the time to specify which sections were completely lacking sources vs those that had only a few, so was miffed. I'd be fine if the discography ultimately gets pared down significantly rather than editors trying to source every single entry. Funcrunch (talk) 03:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I get that. Discography sections tend to get real hairy, especially when a work is more obscure. Bremps... 04:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chelsea Manning pronouns

I'm reverting your reversion of my edits. My edits were completely consistent with the MOS, making no use of previous pronouns. My edits, including explanation of aspects such as a stepbrother, make the article clearer to read. Please discuss on the Chelsea Manning talk page if you think otherwise. Samp4ngeles (talk) 18:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How We Get Free

Thanks for the cleanup! Book stubs are new to me, and so many pieces thereto. Have a wonderful evening. Star Mississippi 02:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help! I noticed it because Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is on my watchlist since I created that article. Funcrunch (talk) 02:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Her research and writing is fascinating, isn't it?

I'm about to go cleanup the bazillion misspellings of Taylor's name in Beverly_Smith. While I'd like to think people who care to write about Smith's work would take time to get the name of someone also writing about her work right... Star Mississippi 02:15, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lia Thomas.

Hi. I'm going to assume good faith in your post on my talk page and the reverting of the edit. Let me clarify, the term Cis in this article, is only used in the apparently contentious sentence. Whereas the term transgender is used 47 times and in full compliance with the source. The readability of the article is disrupted when multiple names of the same term is used. So to not have to go through a possible Rfc for consistency in language please reconsider your edit. Best regards. Ip says: Work Better yes. (talk) 21:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please post on Talk:Lia Thomas if you want to dispute this edit further, thanks. Funcrunch (talk) 22:28, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
