November

Herbststimmung

... better go outside --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:41, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Höchst hübsch, Gerda. (Hope you don't mind me sticking a label on it.) – Sca (talk) 22:59, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind but fix the German if I may ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:14, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Uh, danke. – Sca (talk) 18:23, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP 20

Thank you for good wishes! - Happy Wikipedia 20, - proud of a little bit on the Main page today, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago, look: create a new style - revive - complete! I sang in the revival mentioned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... and today Jerome Kohl, remembered in friendship --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:17, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Threading

Hi there. In your reply here, you broke the fomatting of Masem's below comment by introducing a stray bullet. To prevent that, just follow WP:THREAD and add a colon to whatever formatting the previous response used: Use the same indentation and list formatting as what you are replying to, plus one level at the end of the indent/list code. E.g., if you are replying to something in a complicated discussion that starts with #:::*, just copy-paste that and add a :, resulting in #:::*: ... I fixed it for you in my response, using a *. Not a big deal, but I've noticed it happening a few times recently. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 11:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's easy. 10-4 and thanks. – Sca (talk) 14:49, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Good Humor
Great job in the ITN section! Btw you remind me of Jeremy Clarkson. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 09:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh? Alas, I don't usually move in such fast company. But thanks! – Sca (talk) 14:27, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity

Why is Bob Dylan considered a "former hero" in your main page? —Felipe Forte (have fun!) 10:30, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pussycat, pussycat where have you been?

So it's George we have to thank for the "Nixon Shock" and for Dubya's lovely foreign policy?? He was a household name in the U.K. too, you know.... I always loved Woodstock best. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Marty, please don't bother me, I'm watching the Super Bowel. Sca (talk) 00:10, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please see...

No thanks. Offenbar ein Misthaufen. – Sca (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

Seven years!

... and today featured pic is an owl ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:59, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Feeling a bit owly myself these days. – Sca (talk) 15:52, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me why...

...you indent like you do. And tell me who you think you're joking to! Should we take each other's hands as we jump into the final frontier?!? In case you can't tell, I'm being Mad About You, Scaby. But seriously, theme songs and misconstrued terrorist sympathies aside, your joke about the way God intended the Taliban was totally protected by your forefathers, brother, but it was missing a timestamp and I'm pretty sure you know we can't have that now, can we? Anyway, happy belated Fourth of July! As much as it doesn't seem it sometimes, I appreciate how "your side" makes "some good points", too. If Tajik boys and Pashtun girls can't live in a world with Seinfeld, Friends, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night's Main Event and everything else real American Peacock subscribers get for a low monthly price, maybe the Taliban should have been defeated after all. Tough to say. Maybe next time, bud! InedibleHulk (talk) 16:43, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hulk, I indent in the only proper and logical way possible or permissible.
As to the Tallyband, the Brits & the Russkis tried too, you know. Ever heard of Afghanistanism? – Sca (talk) 22:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Ever heard of Gharbzadegi "... means nothing to me, Westernitis to you". Martinevans123 (talk) 22:25, 11 July 2021 (UTC) [reply]
If it's good enough for you, then it's good enough for me. I have heard of that firstchamacollins. Didn't know it was notable, though, sweet! InedibleHulk (talk) 22:32, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And when you have a moment, tell me what "xpcom" means to you, because this doesn't fit. If it's a secret, just say "xpcom". I'll understand! InedibleHulk (talk) 01:34, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Expand(ed) comment. – Sca (talk) 11:23, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Now that makes sense, thanks. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:18, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Natch. Everything I say makes perfect sense to me. – Sca (talk) 22:27, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've been meaning to reread all the things you said, anyway. If you think it's wise, hey, why not start right now? I could be thinking the same in mere weeks! Thanks, doctor. I knew you were on the level the moment I was browsing The Daily ITN and saw your yawning monkey ad in the fine print. I forget what it was about, but it was still funny, and I guess I'll see it again soon! Tra-la-la... InedibleHulk (talk) 03:28, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Olympic heights

Ooh, so grateful to be offered two weeks off. If only I had known on 23 July... I could have spent a fortnight watching the Olympics! C (talk) 10:12, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. do we know who she's flying with or which runway she'll be landing on?
Marty: Not sure, but I can tell you it's not BOAC. – Sca (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ha. In the event of an emergency please sprint, as fast as you can, to Poland. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, bleve it was Austrian Airlines. (Keep an eye on this ITN nom, will you? I have stuff to do.) – Sca (talk) 16:11, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep an eye? I'll probably support very soon. Even before she lands. But I don't blame you - I'd prefer to stay away and avoid any more accusations of "bullying"! Martinevans123 (talk) 16:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021

Stop icon
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates) for repeatedly mocking recently dead people, after a clear warning not to.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Floquenbeam (talk) 15:34, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Sca (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I corrected the objectionable post, and I promise not to post such things again. Sca (talk) 18:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I corrected the objectionable post, and I promise not to post such things again. [[User:Sca|Sca]] ([[User talk:Sca#top|talk]]) 18:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I corrected the objectionable post, and I promise not to post such things again. [[User:Sca|Sca]] ([[User talk:Sca#top|talk]]) 18:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I corrected the objectionable post, and I promise not to post such things again. [[User:Sca|Sca]] ([[User talk:Sca#top|talk]]) 18:15, 22 September 2021 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

If you're agreeing not to mock people who have recently died, I'll unblock you myself, but first I'd like an assurance that you understand (a) that you were, indeed, mocking them (i.e. you aren't saying that I'm just misunderstanding), and (b) that the revised post you made the second time was still mocking them. Their death has zero to do with some walrus (and I blame you for making me type that stupid sentence). If you agree with those, let me know. If not, we'll wait for an uninvolved admin to come and review. If we go with an uninvolved admin, I'll go look for diffs of the previous instance I obliquely refer to. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:23, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to your conditions and apologize for having created this ruckus.
I understand that my posts were potentially offensive to family members of this recently deceased person, and possibly others.
In my reason, please change "not" to "never."
Thanks. – Sca (talk) 18:47, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
