I will be less active for the next three or four weeks owing to some health-related matters. I will update this notice in due course, however, I am aware I will be in hospital for scans and procedures at some point during that time period, and will be completely unresponsive to any talk page messages, Discord DMs, or emails. For the time being, I may be slow to respond to talk page messages here, but will respond to DMs or emails fairly swiftly. I will also leave an update on my talk page once I have further information as to the situation. Thank you for your understanding.

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page watchers which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

This user is a regular and doesn't mind if you template him.

June thanks

Thank you for improving article quality in June! - I heard this music, yesterday, - streamed a day before at a different location. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:31, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Gerda! I just had a listen to the Frankfurt Radio Symphony; the acoustics are simply brilliant in the monastery. Hope all is well with you also :) Patient Zero^talk 23:34, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - While you are of course invited to check out my recommendations any day, today offers unusually a great writer of novels, music with light and a place with exquisite food. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome Gerda! :) And wow, that lobster and asparagus looks amazing too... I'm rather hungry now! Patient Zero^talk 00:10, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That WP:FRINGE topic

Hello! That's not the first time I've seen this being pushed, but I didn't know it was fringe (only unsourced). If I see that behavior in the future (swapping out that specific religious group for the specific other) should I blanket consider that fringe, or is there something special with this article where you can tell they're pushing is bad-faith? —tony 22:57, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TonySt! Good to hear from you again. I've hit three reverts now, and so will wait for someone else to come along and look at the situation, but that whole topic falls under the contentious topics procedure and so you'll come across disruption like that (clear bad-faith fringe viewpoint pushing) a fair bit on topics of this nature (you might also see this behaviour on topics like India/Pakistan and Israel/Palestine). I've just popped the CTOP template on their talk page now - my advice would be that you should revert these incidences as fringe-viewpoint pushing, but just watch 3RR as there is no exemption for this. An admin will hopefully come along and take a look at some point soon. Worth nothing here that some CTOPs have stricter revert rules than this, too. Patient Zero^talk 23:16, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense! Thank you for the heads-up, I'll keep an eye on that too. —tony 23:47, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! For now, I've reverted myself and removed the warnings - I think I should've just sent the CTOP warning template first and been a bit more careful with the amount of reverts. Once again, I'm sure someone will come and take care of the situation, but three reverts was risky territory, and I really don't fancy a block over it! Looks like the disruptive editing has stopped for now though, but I've posted to the article's talk page, instead of reverting again, to see if any discussion can be had over the matter.
