Hi voorts. Could you change your signature? It drops a reference at the bottom of every talk page you comment on.

== Sandy Galef ==

Per your request to be notified, I've removed {{tl|under construction}} from [[Sandy Galef]]. In the future try to remember to remove it. Thanks :) ~ [[User:Eejit43|<b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b>]] ([[User talk:Eejit43|<span style="color: #00733f">talk</span>]]) 00:26, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

:I didn't remove it because it's my understanding that {{tl|under construction}} should only be removed if there are no edits for several days, and that other users should change it to {{tl|in use}} when they're making edits. My last edit to the article was one day ago, so I think the tag should stay up for at least a couple of more days. Please correct me if I'm misusing the tag, though. [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 00:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
::The purpose of the template, along with {{tl|in use}} is to mark pages while they are actually being edited (or going to be edited), to prevent edit conflicts. While {{tl|under construction}} does say otherwise, keeping the template on the page for too long can discourage other editors, and isn't needed. Hope I explained that well. If you plan to make more edits, and you'd like to add the template again, feel free to go ahead and do so. ~ [[User:Eejit43|<b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b>]] ([[User talk:Eejit43|<span style="color: #00733f">talk</span>]]) 00:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
:::Thanks for taking the time to explain. Just to clarify, what's "too long" in the context of {{tl|under construction}}? [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 00:42, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
::::There isn't really a set time (aside from "several days" per the template), but if you have finished editing, or don't plan on editing for a couple of days, there is no reason to leave the template on the page. ~ [[User:Eejit43|<b style="color: #00733f">Eejit43</b>]] ([[User talk:Eejit43|<span style="color: #00733f">talk</span>]]) 00:53, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Voorts, just a small request here; when you complete a copy-edit, please use {{tl|Done}} rather than {{tl|Completed}}; the page archiving bot only responds to the former template and won't archive requests marked with the latter.

== Roanoke College page ==

Hi! Thanks so much for your question on the request we posted to the [[Talk:Roanoke College]] board. We wanted to make sure to flag our full response to you:

''Thanks for your question! Our request had two parts:

''1). Change the college logo shown on the page from the old imagery to the new imagery. The old imagery currently appears at the bottom of the gray box on the righthand side of the page immediately under the line labeled "Website." The new imagery can be found on Wikipedia Commons under the title: “Roanoke College Branding.”

''2). Change the image of our college president from a photo of our past president to a photo of our current president. The photo of our past president currently appears on the page in the image labeled: "11th President of Roanoke College, Michael Maxey." The photo of our current president can be found on Wikipedia Commons under the title: “Roanoke College President Frank Shushok Jr.” '' [[User:Roanoke College Communications|Roanoke College Communications]] ([[User talk:Roanoke College Communications|talk]]) 16:37, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

== Leonard Schoonmaker ==

Hi. I removed the PROD you placed on this article. The amount of prose in the Olympedia profile, and the breadth and depth of it, suggests to me that newspaper archives and the like will probably have been used to compile it. It would surprise me if the article could not be developed to include enough sources to meet BASIC at least. I certainly don’t think that with that prose we’re looking at a PROD candidate here. I doubt I’ll have time to work on it very much myself, although I will try to remember to add some of the details tomorrow if I get the chance.

== Watching David Lynch cook quinoa ==

Happened upon your user page, and am currently watching [[David Lynch]] cook quinoa. I'll tell you how it goes. [[User:Aiue|Aiue]] ([[User talk:Aiue|talk]]) 21:29, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

:the recipe is legit, by the way. [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 21:32, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::is it? do you know from experience? if so, how fresh was the water you used? [[User:Aiue|Aiue]] ([[User talk:Aiue|talk]]) 21:35, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
:hm. I can't tell if this was the best or worst 20 minutes I've spent on YouTube. I went into it fully expecting it to be an average cooking video, as I had no idea of who David Lynch is. the recipe also seems incredibly salty, if liquid amino acid tastes like soy sauce. [[User:Aiue|Aiue]] ([[User talk:Aiue|talk]]) 21:49, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
::You should watch some Lynch ASAP. I recommend starting with [[Blue Velvet (film)|Blue Velvet]] or [[Twin Peaks]] if you're looking for a show to watch. [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 21:58, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

== [[Peter II (cat)]] ==

Sorry to bother you again, voorts, about my GANs; this is the last time, I promise. I've nominated Peter III's predecessor for GA. It's quite a bit shorter than the last four, but he was only 8 months old when he died, and from the sources available, I believe that I have produced the best product I can. Again, if you're not interested or don't have the time, don't worry at all. Someone else will pick it up.

*I should have done this in the first place but I have added an image to the RTL/DYK?

What you said about the first sentence is simply not correct: the first sentence has no places of birth and death, no age, no link to his list of works. Please consider rephrasing. - To me, the little box frees the first sentence from clutter, and makes the facts available in a predictable position where expected, for those who need them. (Try to hunt for where he died, for example.) But I will not participate in the discussion. The principal editor doesn't like a box, and I'm ready to please him.

==About canvassing==
[[WP:CANVASS]] says "The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions" such as "editors who previously supported [keeping] an article" (which would certainly include a PROD remover) and "do not send messages to users who have asked not to receive them".

Do not put messages on my talk page about AfDs, or send me echo notications from AfDs, just because I removed a PROD from an article that appeared on the alerts list. I check the deletion sorting list regularly, and do not need notifications from you about AfDs on that list of PRODs that I removed. I have made it repeatedly clear on past occasions that I do not want messages or notifications that make it look as though I have been canvassed. [[User:James500|James500]] ([[User talk:James500|talk]]) 06:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

:[[WP:AGF|AGF]]. I gave you a ping and posted to your talk page as a courtesy because you reversed my PROD. Additionally, I've never interacted with you on WP and you have nothing at the top of your talk page indicating that nobody should ever post on your talk about AfDs. How am I supposed to know what you've done on past occasions? All in all, this is a needlessly aggressive overreaction to what was quite obviously a courtesy ping and post.<ref>The second paragraph of CANVASS defines canvassing as "notification done with the intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way". Here, you quite obviously disagree with my deletion rationale, so I'm not sure how informing you of a discussion so that you can reiterate your opinion could possibly be construed as "canvassing".</ref>

== Determination of consensus ==

Regarding [//en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:In_the_news&diff=prev&oldid=1165639978 this comment]: many articles have few watchers, and their associated WikiProject talk pages aren't actively watched either, so a lot of discussions don't get a lot of participation, and thus are decided by whatever set of people happen to comment at the time. Even the outcomes for article for deletion discussions are subject to the whims of whoever happened to be active that week. Unfortunately, In the News is not unique in this way. [[User:Isaacl|isaacl]] ([[User talk:Isaacl|talk]]) 13:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

:Yes, but  closers at AfD, etc., should ostensibly be [[WP:discard|discard]]ing arguments that don't reflect policy, guidelines, or well-established, written consensus (as opposed to [[WP:WEAKSILENCE|silent]] norms). From the discussion, I'm learning that policy, guidelines, and consensus apparently don't really exist at ITN. [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 14:05, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
::Many closers refer to {{section link|Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators|Rough consensus}} for guidance on determining consensus in discussions, which allows for discounting arguments that are counter to policy, but not guidelines. This follows English Wikipedia tradition that guidance is based on the outcomes of content discussions and that consensus can change, rather than guidelines prescribe results. For better or worse, this means the results of many discussions will vary depending on the arguments of the current set of participants.
