Heretic music

Do you have a link to the facebook post in question, or is it private? --Gez (talk) 02:24, 22 June 2021 (CDT)

I asked him over messenger, but I have a screenshot in the drive folder. MargaretThatcher (talk) 16:08, 22 June 2021 (CDT)

Romero tweet

When adding a wide-ranging assertion like this, the minimum a reviewer would need is a link to the actual tweet. Please add a citation to the edit, or at least provide the link in the edit summary, or here. Thanks. --Xymph (talk) 01:58, 8 July 2021 (CDT)

  • Can't find the tweet, but Civvie mentioned it in his Heretic vid. MargaretThatcher (talk) 13:22, 8 July 2021 (CDT)

Warning for BLP libel/defamation

We take a particularly dim view of editing biography pages with information that can be taken as libel or defamation as it is illegal to publish such information. It is forbidden by our Terms of Use explicitly - please immediately review these terms in full. This is a warning that any such further edits will see your account and IP address(es) blocked for a period of at least three months. --Quasar (talk) 08:02, 16 October 2021 (CDT)

Not to be an ass, but what did i do? Ok I remember, but Torm actually did plagiarise, didn't he? MargaretThatcher (talk) 20:00, 16 October 2021 (CDT)
Personally I don't know, I don't follow community happenings closely. But if you do make such a strong accusation, you have to provide strong evidence to back it up. Otherwise, the above applies. --Xymph (talk) 03:08, 17 October 2021 (CDT)
Besides the aforementioned legal concerns, I would like to chime in for just a moment to say that in my humble opinion, drama really has no place on the DoomWiki, which should strive to be as neutral and non-inflammatory as possible. Bringing up past dramas like that only results in stirring shit up, and I think nobody wants that no matter which side of the argument they were originally on. There are much better things to work towards than this. --Dynamo128 (talk) 03:40, 17 October 2021 (CDT)

Oh, and while I hvae your attention, Ralphis said something kinda weird here. It's 20 years ago so he's probably changed but WTH: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/77279-dwbs/?page=4 MargaretThatcher (talk) 12:19, 17 October 2021 (CDT)
A page for a person on this wiki is there to summarize their contributions (in the form of mods, primarily) to the community. It is not a general place to explain their entire life, or especially to re-litigate whatever dramas they may or may not have contributed toward. As others have said, even if these allegations were relevant to the site (and they're not), in order for this to not constitute libel it must be a well-documented and cited incident, and must furthermore be stated as being an allegation, unless this is some matter that was considered settled in a court of law. You should see that it's simpler to stay away from this type of issue entirely if you want to keep contributing here. --Quasar (talk) 16:59, 17 October 2021 (CDT)
Just to add my two cents as a completely random guy, it feels like the 9/11 thing in particular makes no sense to include on any BLP. It's just a random trivia fact about his life, there's no relation to contributions to doom. --Rasa (talk) 06:41, 18 October 2021 (CDT)

Reviews of recent edits

In case you're not tracking Recent Changes regularly, there were reviews on your edits made to three articles yesterday. --Xymph (talk) 05:56, 10 August 2022 (CDT)

Perdition's Gate release

Do you have a source for the exact release date of July 26, 1996? Then it should be linked. No, the datestamp on the WAD file doesn't count. This was a commercial product so there almost certainly was a delay between the last change in the product's data, and its actual public release. That is why I used the phrase "file dates point to" without the day. Given that the 26th is near the end of the month, the public release could even have happened in August. Without a reliable source, your edits will need to be reverted. --Xymph (talk) 02:04, 24 August 2022 (CDT)

I'll fix that. MargaretThatcher (talk) 12:06, 24 August 2022 (CDT)

Username Purpose

Why the username of MargaretThatcher? It's a pretty specific person to have as your handle. --User:Altazimuth (talk) 01:53, 31 August 2022 (BST)

Stop doing single edits for something that can be done in a single edit

You did more than 24 single edits for Batman Doom when you could've done it all in a single setting instead of bloating the edit history. Not only you make it a pain in the ass to review, you also clutter the page with unnecessary edits. I think you've been here long enough to know that already. If you're just trying to inflate you edit count, that's even worse. That's just dickish. You also make edits of dubious quality, sometimes removing chunks of useful information, or writing in an informal/colloquial manner that's not apt for a wiki. - Endless01 (talk) 21:46, 30 August 2022 (CDT)
