I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)
Holiday Greetings
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Peace_dove.svg/400px-Peace_dove.svg.png)
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Always a pleasure to see your work. ―Buster7 ☎
Trump #61
Can I get you on board with current consensus item 61? Is there a reason it doesn't apply to that thread? ―Mandruss ☎ 14:32, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Mandruss I forgot about it tbh, and probably AGF too much. I'll try to remember it next time. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. It's not about their good faith; we shoot on sight bad faith complaints, per 61. Rather, it's about the time-wasting futility of nonspecific complaints. ―Mandruss ☎ 03:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Ken Goldin
Hello! Your submission of Ken Goldin at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! —Bagumba (talk) 19:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Muboshgu! Since you are listed as an active member of the United States Presidents WikiProject, would you mind leaving a comment at a project talk page discussion about a series of templates that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Project 2025
Hello - thanks at least for labeling my edits "good faith"; they are.
My question is: if a different Republican nominee were to win the November 2024 election - would Project 2025's planks, recommendations, etc., be different? I imagine not, and their website makes no reference to President Trump. These are among the reasons I think simply saying "the Republican" or "conservative" nominee in the lede makes more sense.
Best,
Kaisershatner (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Kaisershatner, your edit was clearly good faith and not enough editors here assume that. You ask an interesting question that I do not know the answer to. You may well be right. Of course, it's Trump allies who are behind it and it is their plan for Trump to be president as they execute it. This question would be better asked on the article's talk page so others can more easily see it and engage. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:44, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi - just saw this, and again, thanks.
- I have edited on the talk page as well and will take this there. Presuming NPOV as a first principle - the article comes up short, whatever WP:Consensus currently is. However I will respect the process and will note that there. As the editor who reverted me, I'd appreciate your directly reply there as well, if amenable.
- Best,

Question about Project 2025 article
Hi. Recently a user put this at the beginning of the Project 2025 article: Not to be confused with Donald Trump's package of proposals, Agenda 47.[3]
Do you think it should be reverted by WP:NPOV? It seems like an attempt to unlink Trump from the 2025 project with the endorsement of Wikipedia. This is even more controversial considering that the Trump campaign initially said that Project 2025 aligned well with its Agenda 47 proposals.[4] Additionally, there is no evidence that there is a common confusion between the two terms. They don't even have similar names, and little or nothing has been said or mentioned about agenda 47.
I'm asking you this because you are a very important user on Wikipedia and also because you have made reversals in the Project 2025 article about WP:NPOV. Esterau16 (talk) 19:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Esterau16, I had not heard of Agenda 47. This is again a subject better discussed on the article's talk page rather than mine. I haven't checked it in a few hours to know if you have or not. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
2nd game of a DH
For the 2nd game of a DH, when adding the 27th player, it would make sense to DO a (2nd game) note for that date only. I don't see why there is any problem, as long as there is no error made. And there was no error, to use a BB term. Just because it "isn't done" doesn't mean it is forbidden by the rules. Lighten up already, and let more info be allowed! MondayMonday1966 (talk) 01:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- MondayMonday1966, it isn't a matter of me needing to "lighten up". It's a matter of following WP:DATEFORMAT. Your previous edit confused another user. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:26, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- And then I fixed it after seeing the problem. Only after that (one minute) you removed it Get the whole story straight, not just the partial storyline that you didn't say. Sorry for the initial mistake, but after I fixed it, you should have let it go. After that 2nd game and he was no longer active, I would then put him back on the inactive roster. I've done that before, and with the correction I made, it makes sense to do that to show it is in the middle of the two games on the same day, for accuracy.
