Rename

I had just gotten used to seeing JSS at the village pump, but I always liked Beeblebrox better. Always good to see your name in my watchlist. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 00:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I was experiencing some "buyer's remorse" with the rename. It was one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" type of things. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:14, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Makes sense considering the circumstances at the time of your rename.

On a slightly unrelated note, I wanted to get your thoughts of if the concerns from your userpage essay are still valid, or if the situation has gotten better?

I haven't run into it recently but most of the discussions I've been involved in lately were mundane deletion discussions. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Something that may be of interest to you

I don't use my Commons talk page to discuss en.wp business. Pretty sure you've already gotten in some trouble for dragging problems from one wiki to another. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:20, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

I think you might wish to read this discussion between me and Blue-Sonnet. Honestly, if I had known I was wasting other editors' time and/or stopping them from being able to get on with other things, I would not have hassled them half to death. For future reference, I recommend that some of them ought to say stuff like, "Stop wasting my time [user]! You're interrupting my additions of [navigational template] to [set of categories]!" or, possibly, recommend an editor like Blue-Sonnet. (You see, I tend to assume that an editor's replying to me takes 'em not that much longer than it took me to type the initial question or post.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2025 (UTC) My apologies, I didn't know. All your talkpage said was that I shouldn't grind an axe here. And I wasn't trying to do that anyway. I just wanted to alert you to something I felt you ought to know and consider. (Personally-- what would you do instead of "dragging problems from one wiki to another"?) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 20:40, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Little question

WP:HARASSMENT seems apt in your case, as you've done this multiple times before and persist in doing so, including "nuisance thanking" me for my posts trying to get you to go away. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:05, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Forget about any en.wp business. Right now, I just want to know, what IS the WMF user conduct word for "dragging problems from one wiki into another"?? (You know, like WP:EDITWAR or WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 20:58, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Your comments about me

quoting myself from the en.wp ban discussion: "This person has an extreme case of WP:IDHT, so the message needs to be sent loud and clear that the best thing, for them and for Wikipedia, is that they leave. " Let it go, move on with your life. And please don't import en.wp issues to Commons. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:40, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

I see you’ve decided to move away from Wikipedia. Your comments about me on a variety of forums were hurtful and disrespectful. I had thought you were my friend, and it genuinely hurt that you would talk about me like you did on external forums. I wish you well, but you have caused a me a lot of pain. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 17:53, 20 July 2025 (UTC) You are a massive jerk. From your main page, it looks like it is you who are importing en.Wikipedia drama into commons. We don’t need it. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:04, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2024) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 27 September 2025, 23:59:59 UTC.

Admin of en.wikipedia?

GO AWAY

You aren't an admin on the English Wikipedia, so why do you claim to be on your home page? - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 03:33, 20 November 2025 (UTC) You must have a really short memory. Allow me to remind you that the last time you took a moment out of your day to pester me, not quite four months ago, you said "...I apologise and I will stop interacting with this person...", as well as "I remain committed to keeping the peace on commons, and hope to be a productive and helpful member of the community" Of course that was all couched in a bunch of equivocating bullshit, but I'd hope you would at least have the self-control to be able to fight the impulse to pester me again. Pinging @Jeff G.: as he also participated in that discussion. Please don't reply to this in any way, please just leave me alone as you already promised to do. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:32, 20 November 2025 (UTC) COM:AN/U Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#Claims of adminship by user Beeblebox. This is in relation to an issue with which you may have been involved. Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 21:29, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
