Precious

"look at all the pretty citations"

Thank you for quality articles such as Jackie Robinson, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and Ravenloft (module), for good article collaboration, for musing about the development of Jigsaw (Marvel Comics) from one line to a marvel, for your celebrity gallery, - repeating from ten years ago: you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Awesome

Ten years!

Proposed deletion of Chromatic dragon

The article Chromatic dragon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fictional creature, no evidence of passing WP:NFICTION/GNG, PRIMARY sources only, pure WP:PLOT, BEFORE does not show better sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:56, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back!

I'm kicking myself for not even noticing that you've been at least semi-back for several months! How are you doing? :) BOZ (talk) 04:07, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good, good. I completely blanked my old watchlist, which really changes a man! I got an email today mentioning TTN. I had to think for quite a while to remember who TTN was, then it all came flooding back. I used to love those AfD battles! Seems like a lot of people are still around, or more likely came back. Maybe wiki is cool again! Peregrine Fisher (talk) 04:46, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, yeah. Probably better that you didn't remember some users. :) Yeah, deletion activity has gotten worse than ever lately. Anyhow, it's great to hear from you again! Don't know if you want involvement in the tabletop gaming area anymore, and I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. ;) BOZ (talk) 13:06, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

By the way just to be clear, Peregrine Fisher, I am not talking about deletion or fictional elements, I am talking about building and expanding articles on the games themselves. :) I have been pretty busy at that for the last few years!  :) BOZ (talk) 17:48, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not going to work on stuff like I used to, but who knows. Why don't you give me a few articles to add to my watchlist and I'll see if I'm interested. It's funny, I do YouTube and Twitter now. I've got 2 subscribers and like 5 followers. Being on wiki made me feel a lot more important than those platforms. Peregrine Fisher (talk) 02:41, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, whatever makes you happy, I figure. :) I registered a Twitter account that I've never used, and I sometimes watch music videos on YouTube - maybe one day those will interest me more! I look at your user page and count contributions toward 2 FAs and 7 GAs for just D&D, which is more than anyone else can say - especially since it's been a while since we had a new one! More than good enough to hang your hat on, I'd say, although if you wanted to come back and do more at some point, there is always more work that can be done. But, if you ever wanted to look into getting back into tabletop gaming work, there are so many articles which have so much potential that they are not living up to! LOL I have a bunch of D&D articles on my userpage that I thought would be a good idea to improve to higher quality, but so far no one has taken me up on the challenge. As for other tabletop games, we have all sorts of game articles that should be doable to get to GA or higher - but then again, even hitting that mark is not the end-all-be-all, just making them into "good" articles to begin with is more than enough! I'm rambling. But wouldn't it be nice to have some high quality articles to look at for say Ogre, GURPS, Traveller, BattleTech, World of Darkness, RuneQuest, Call of Chutlhu, Shadowrun, Warhammer 40,000, etc? I don't know, take your pick, take a look see and what you want to do, or just sit back and relax and do your thing. :) (OK, well, Ogre passed GA in 2008 and... it would fail a GA review, so count that one in for improvement.) If none of those catch your interest, let me know, there is a lot more that I could look into, I have started many little stubs on games, game supplements, game designers and artists, etc, over the last few years that just need work from someone with access to sources. BOZ (talk) 05:08, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check some of those out. Peregrine Fisher (talk) 15:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas!

BOZ (talk) is wishing you a Merry Christmas! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Merry Christmas, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Don't eat yellow snow!

Spread the holiday cheer by adding {{subst:User:Flaming/MC2008}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings".  :) BOZ (talk) 21:49, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The disclaimer made me laugh. Thanks. Peregrine Fisher (talk) 01:23, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
