Archives

Please note that I have an archive of my Wikipedia subscriptions here.

Welcome to the talk page of JohnLaurens333. Here's a bit of information that some may find boring and some may find useful.

Me and you When messaging with me, please be nice and try to assume good faith, and I'll do my best to do the same. Thank you!

Response

I apologize, I may not be punctual in replying to your question/comment. I'll try.

Did I revert your edit?

If I reverted your edit and you believe I was wrong, please create a new topic and we will calmly¹ discuss the problem. Though I strive not to, I may make hasty reversions. I'm working on it.

¹I hope :)

McCarrick Edit

Hi, I recently made an edit to McCarrick’s page and accidentally removed the last half of his page, which happened because the notepad I copied and pasted from isn’t capable of taking such a massive amount of characters. Please take a closer look at my edit, they are constructive edits. Can those edits be restored? 2600:387:16:114:0:0:0:3 (talk) 01:39, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry I didn't get back to you quickly. I'll take another look at your edits later. Thanks! 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something?) 03:54, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Double You Tee Eff

I have no idea where I'm going with this, I've never been in the Wiki underbelly and I don't have a Wiki account, but I got two urgent pop-up messages threatening me with "vandalism" apparently concerning some edit made to a page about "Toothpaste". This is a topic I have never even looked up, let alone edited, so I'm completely in the dark about what's going on and how to deal with it. Your name was linked, which is how I got here, but I have no idea what any of this means and I really don't have the time to go take a course on Wiki-ing. So I have no clue if I'm even talking to the right entity or if anyone's reading this but I won't take kindly to threats.

Also I notice the date is entirely wrong. Wiki's telling me I wrote this on June 1 2025, which is in the future amd hasn't even happened yet. Whether this is related to the errant threat-message, or the phantom "edit" I never made, I have no idea but just furnishing an observation. 64.188.201.83 (talk) 01:24, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you were already answered on the Help Desk, but I'm going to answer here. As the message says, it was probably someone else using the same IP address. The template messages me and the other editor sent you are not "threats", they were simple warnings to whoever made those edits. Also, they were posted weeks ago - my screen says May 7th.

You're not going to get blocked. If your IP address did get blocked because of the other editor, you could create an account if you wanted to edit.

Basically, the messages aren't a big deal, but thanks for asking. Have a nice day. 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something?) 16:37, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bristol University

Hi John, you retracted my edits to the Bristol University wikipedia page and im sorry if they came across as unhelpful, i'm just a bit confused as there is no wikipedia for the university from the cult film and some of the information detailed here corresponds with the fictional Bristol University. Is there a way to create a new page for the university in the 1998 Jizzy Jizzum film? cheers 86.152.49.225 (talk) 22:22, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm not sure what film you're referring to, but if you'd like to create an article for the film, I'd recommend reading WP:YFA, which is a useful guide to creating your first article. If you mean to create an article about a fictional university in this film, it's likely not notable enough to merit its own article. Hope this was helpful! 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something?) 22:29, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trump Talk page

I've added a 'Full disclosure' to the RfC on the Donald Trump Talk page for your edit there. ErnestKrause (talk) 02:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

how can I add something from your user page

Specifaly, "Recent changes patroller". YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 13:52, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere Just copy and paste this on your user page:

In the future, you can just go into the source editor and copy it from there. 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 14:06, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didnt know where to go in the source editor YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere When you hit the edit button, there should be somewhere where it says "visual editor" (it depends on what device you're on). There's a dropdown there where you can switch to source editor. 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 14:09, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know how to switch between the two its just in source or visual editing (I primarily edit in visual but use source when I steal a userbox). Like how do I get the userbox "Trout this user" YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:11, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere Aside from stealing it off of someone's user page, you can go to Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries and look for it there. Does that answer your question? 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 14:19, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:21, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

but what about top box Userboxes? YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:21, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere What do you mean? 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 14:23, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

== Top icon ==

YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:24, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at my User page you'll see the trout fish at the top YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:24, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

im gonna be off for the 70 minutes because class restrictions YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 14:26, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere I'll admit I still don't completely understand what you mean. ==Top icon== just creates a subsection called Top Icon. Usually to place a userbox above another, you simply put it before the other one. You can align all of your userboxes to the side with the topbox thing (I don't remember exactly how to do it, but it's described in WP:UBX.) Sorry if I'm missing something here. 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 15:38, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

take a look at my userpage YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 15:45, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

you'll see that I have that tiny trout image in the top left YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 15:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thats what I'm trying to say YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 15:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere I can see the wikitext for that userbox, but I can't see the actual userbox. Do you have a question about it? 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 15:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

that minnow I sent is from your top userbox at the top of your page YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere (talk) 16:00, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@YourLocalZakkFromSomewhere I don't think I have a minnow on my user page? Sorry, I think I'm misunderstanding something here. :) 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 16:04, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, that didn't show up for me for some reason. I see it now, thank you. What is your question about it? 🏳️‍🌈JohnLaurens333 (need something? Ping me!) 16:21, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trouted

Plip!

You have been trouted for: this is a top userbox John.
