| − | i.e. right-clicking on the Google page's item and copying that link is wasteful (and not ''always'' correct), you should instead follow the link you intend and then copy the true address (if proven to be what you wish) from the address-bar. And, even then, best to cut away any "&referer=..." type stuff (and retest the cut down link!) so that everyone who follows you has a bare-bones link that works without having to mess with reconstructing the metadata that means "<nowiki>http://whatever.com/foo/bar/baz.html#indexpoint</nowiki>", or howsoever it should resolve. | + | i.e. right-clicking on the Google page's item and copying that link is wasteful (and not ''always'' correct), you should instead follow the link you intend and then copy the true address (if proven to be what you wish) from the address-bar.

| − | :Look, [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:ColorfulGalaxy&curid=25878&diff=305104&oldid=305057 this is clearly a stupid move] to try to look legitimate. If you're truly IRL friends then it could have waited for an IRL meeting (or whatever other social media blinks you have), at which point your 'friend' could have provided a lot more practical help without waiting for such silly messages. Laughable, really. But do as you're going to do, I'm sure I can't stop you from going through with this clear pretence to whatever end you're leading up to. And no apologies if I'm wrong, just pity.

| − | == So many broken links on your User page. ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I presume you are fully aware that pretty much everything you're linking to on your User page is a dead link. Both internal and external ones (even inter-wiki). I presume you are also aware that your quite obvious use of multiple alts and logins is very visible. Either that, or you are remarkably unaware of third parties (with bad MOs) making so many terrible edits in some quite definitely targetted way.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Either way, you might want to just get things working how you want to get things working, and bring it all to fruition, and not leave us all hanging... [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.57|172.70.85.57]] 13:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

| − | :So it would seem that [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2293:_RIP_John_Conway&diff=308507&oldid=308506 this is you], as well, CG. The question we must all be wondering is why? Quite an army of alt-logins you seem to be building up, and the actions of the less nicely behaving ones (you know which I mean) don't exactly make me feel unconcerned about it.
| |
| − | :It wouldn't be so bad if you were doing useful edits or actually made your Conlang links into a working (and ideally relevant) reference system that we could all enjoy. But you seem to have no intent to do that. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.224|172.70.85.224]] 06:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

| − | ::The neography reproducing project involves uploading a lot of images, mostly vector images.

| |
| − | :::Your explanation makes no sense... Your neography clearly has no real connection to xkcd. The images required here should be xkcd ones (or derived material). You haven't shown absign of contributing any of those. One account (sufficiently validated) is enough to upload, as you'll already know. There's no connection to fandom.com, at all. That's not even a local category (like almost every other link around here, you leave it redlinked). You don't need to create many special logins for anything you have done (for the most part, I can do everything worthwhile for the site with no account at all, and you have a clear history of doing unworthwhile things with many accounts, a number of them now banned.

| − | :::So I call bullshit. I've seen others try to help your 'new users' out, with things you've messed up (done it myself, see above) just to be ignored, and then it becomes clear that you continue with whatever game you think you're playing, under an expanding host of aliases.

| − | == Lowercase category ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I find it useful to add <code><nowiki><!-- a clue as to where the character(s) can be found --></nowiki></code> after the Lowercase category markup, so that future editors can satisfy themselves that you're right (or add their own info, if you missed an example). For example, I'm guessing you're thinking of the greek-'micro' prefix for the xkcdphone and the "metres" symbol in the timeline, but maybe I've missed the additional (or truer) examples that you thought you'd identified. I'll never know, though, unless I invite you to tell me what you spotted. (Not that I'm currently fussed, it's just something I ''could'' find useful to confirm/correct in my own head. So perhaps something you could do in such future edits.) [[Special:Contributions/172.71.242.11|172.71.242.11]] 22:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

It's no use posting that info here, make it known on the appropriate page, which might or might not be the one that the above IP was refering to (even they don't say, which was their oversight). And are you telling that above IP or youself? (i.e. CG 'clan', which I suspect is one person/a group-shared namespace.)
