In the Manual of Style, it says there is no consistent style that needs to be maintained for this kind of writing but it should adhere to the style of the article. As the rest of the article is formatted the way I edited, why are parentheses inappropriate? I am not saying you are wrong I am just trying to understand for the future. Thank you.

Parenthesis aren't a stylistic choice. For animal taxa, they indicate if that taxa name was how the author used it (no parens) or was moved after the authors naming (with parens). - UtherSRG(talk)16:22, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We have an editor Foo123 which has created a draft about the Foo tribe. As a member of the tribe they have an apparent COI. Had they created a draft about the Nation of Foo, would they also have a COI? They also appear to have a better command of the Fooian Language than of English.
Hrm.... copy-pasted back into main article space. I've reverted all of their edits from today, other than their question above, and blocked them for a week for DE. I'm edging towards a CIR indef. I think there is too much of a language barrier. - UtherSRG(talk)12:12, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I hate it when people consider their use of an unfamiliar language is sufficient. They should edit their native language Wikipedia and have fun doing so.

Hello,
Thank you for being a mentor.
I would like to update the photo on my brother's page. I have no experience in editing pages. --SKMS333 (talk) 11:42, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My best advise is to step back and stop thinking "What do I want to say about the subject?" and change your thinking to "What would others want to know? What have others said?" - UtherSRG(talk)16:38, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
They have taken what they perceive as a negotiation to my talk page. Ah well. On Commons I have reported them as suspected sock puppetry. All their uploads there so far have been deleted as copyvios. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrentFaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:39, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All socks blocked and globally locked. "Oh dear, what a pity; never mind!" I smelled and heard it as fishy and ducky and CU and detective work did the rest. Loads f cross wiki abuse. I imagine they will be back.
I think we can look forward to delighting in Kekepalmer2001's particular style of editing again. It's clear that this IP is them - rewriting zoological articles in a wordy, waffly manner, while mixing in made-up or overstated stuff. They are not currently blocked - block expired in mid-January - and thus this isn't block evasion, but if they carry on like they have at Strigoi and Cryptoprocta spelea, they may be due the next one soon. Just thought I'd flag it; I'll be keeping an eye out :/ Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:34, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
