Attention trolls: Don't bother me here. I am busy impersonating Rome Viharo on Metapedia.
Edit review request[edit]
Hey, I recently undid a BoN edit at Internet Research Agency that looked like it was harming the page. However, I'm not fully confident of my judgment in this case, so I'd like a second opinion. You have a track record of trimming down my more… out-there edits, so could you please take a look at it? --Luigifan18 (talk) 04:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- The edit appeared to me to not not change the meaning of the text significantly. Is there something specific in the edit that you thought was bad? Bongolian (talk) 05:16, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- The big red flag to me was the removal of "The actual trolls in question are often just young people looking for a job." I dunno, that looked a bit like it was demonizing Russia. It makes it look a bit like everyone there (by which I mean the Internet Research Agency, not Russia as a whole) is a psychotic weirdo who delights in politically destabilizing other nations. --Luigifan18 (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
What the bloody hell did you make me listen to?[edit]
I am now 12 minutes into this damn thing. What? Why...? Who? When? I don't... I'm so confused. What the f@ck is this?! - Rairyu75 (Talk) 03:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Quotes[edit]
I noticed you took down some of the quotes I added to some pages. I don't have a problem with that at all, but is there any chance I could add them back if I include a proper citation? I figured I should ask before I do anything. BJA2112 (talk) 04:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- With quality citations, yes, if the quote bears relevance to the article. Quotes from fiction (from Hamilton, the musical or from games), generally not unless it's about the fiction in question. Bongolian (talk) 05:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- So I can't add quotes from fiction to pages at all? I just want to be doubly sure, because there are other quotes from fiction on other pages that I didn't add. I mean, I will absolutely abide by that if you say so, I just want to be sure. I also want to make it clear that I'm not trying to start a fight or complain or anything. BJA2112 (talk) 06:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- You had a quote attributed that you attributed to Burr, but it was from the Hamilton musical. The other fiction quotes that I saw that you had added seemed rather tangential or obscure. Bongolian (talk) 08:14, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- I thought I'd stated as such it was fr the musical, but I guess I didn't. So if the fiction in question is more well known/mainstream, it's okay? Again, not trying to start a fight or complain or be a troublemaker or anything, I just want to be absolutely 100% regarding possible future edits. BJA2112 (talk) 08:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

If you're so keen on adding them, it's best to ask a sysop or mod. It doesn't have to be me. Bongolian (talk) 18:35, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
Caught a vandal red-handed.[edit]
I just rollbacked blatant vandalism from some schmuck calling themselves "thebraveone" at the Alan Watt article. They also appear to have already made a backup account, as if we wouldn't notice two accounts with very similar names being created and making trouble at the same time. Where's a facepalm emoji when you need one?! --Luigifan18 (talk) 14:27, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
Quotes (again)[edit]
Hey, I hope I've been cooperative enough will everything you and the other mods have told me regarding quotes on pages so far. I like to think I've been doing a better job of it so far. Also for the future, if I think a fictional quote would fit for a certain page, I'll make sure to ask someone first. BJA2112 (talk) 23:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Cats on sandbox[edit]
Hi, @Bongolian! I have noticed that your page User:Bongolian/Test2 appears on the homepage in the category of Creationism. After some research I was told that this is not supposed to happen and that sandbox pages should de-cat their content. I do not know how else to say it, so I will just kindly ask you to remove the categories. :) I am new to the wiki so I can't know for certain if what I am saying is correct - if you believe that what you are doing is correct and should remain unchanged, feel free to disregard this notice.
