Dave Williams is the legitimate chairman of the Colorado Republican Party per yesterday's court ruling. Stop reverting edits to their page that reflect this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:282:1E80:AAA0:75FA:D425:C8DA:5809 (talk) 17:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're always free to add it back if you have a reliable source that verifies he's the chairman. You can't just add a claim and say it's true! TheWikiToby (talk) 18:01, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid Revert on Rafael Obrador

Hi! The very first line itself says Rafael Obrador was born at Mallorca on 24th February 2004. How is that false information?

"Rafael Obrador Burguera (Mallorca, 24 de febrero de 2004) fue presentado esta mañana como nuevo jugador del Deportivo cedido esta temporada por el Real Madrid CF."

Sorry! I didn't check the citation and just looked at the bare lede (which said February 18) before you corrected it, so I thought you may have made a mistake. You can add the entry back now. TheWikiToby (talk) 17:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added it back. In the respective page, it was correct on the infobox 183.83.228.140 (talk) 18:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Five Nights at Freddy's - I'm here to help!

Hi Toby, I hope this is the right place to reach out.

My name is Kane Carter and I'm directly involved in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. I've personally released two official games for it in the past few years under the Fazbear Fanverse Initiative. I've seen that the Wikipedia article for the Five Nights at Freddy's series has had some internal discussion about whether the Fanverse should be recognised on the page. I would love to give some insight on the Initiative, as well as possibly provide useful information for the rest of the series page based on my time as a fan and a developer for the series.

If you or anyone else working on the Wiki is interested, please DM me on Twitter, "kanethecarter", or "POPGOESdev". I'm happy to answer questions and clarify things regarding the Fanverse, or my own series in it.

I am not going to personally edit things on the page, to avoid a conflict of interest issue, but I will say it's sad to see the Fanverse being so broadly dismissed as a simple footnote. I was hoping that it being a huge part of the anniversary event this year would give it some well deserved credit, but it appears to still be seen as a mere group of "fangames" which is not correct.

Thanks for reading, hope to hear back from you soon. KaneCarter (talk) 19:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out KaneCarter! As a fan of Fnaf, it's super cool that I get to hear from someone so influential from the community!

To address your concerns, unfortunately, your edit requests may not be able to be implemented in the actual article. First of all, I don't know for a fact that you're the real Kane Carter. I personally trust you, but I shouldn't jeopardize the integrity of the article in case you're not actually him (I also don't have Twitter).

Secondly, your help counts as a Wikipedia:PRIMARYSOURCE, which is discouraged here, as Wikipedia heavily relies on Wikipedia:RELIABLESOURCES that proves the information can be Wikipedia:VERIFIED. Maybe it's possible you can drop some info to a secondary publication (see a list of sources here), and they can write about it so that Wikipedia in turn can use it.

Again, thank you for reaching out and trying to help Wikipedia. You can read Wikipedia:EDITREQUEST for info on how you could request changes on a talk page, and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Thanks. TheWikiToby (talk) 22:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. Avoid shortening Wikipedia as Wiki as it can be quite confusing (read this). Thanks. TheWikiToby (talk) 22:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance templates on Bishop Herman College

After doing some editing to address the problem, I removed the templates you placed on Bishop Herman College ({{Peacock}}[1] and {{Advert}}[2]). I won't object if you think there are still issues, and want to restore them. As for the awards and alumni sections, my go-to guide is Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article advice. But there's a lot of tricky interpretation to be done there, so I've left those sections alone for now. _signed,Willondon (talk) 20:15, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
