Memphis neighborhoodsBinghamton[posted on Talk:Binghampton,_Memphis#expanding definition ] Binghampton has always included the area south of Broad Avenue and north of Poplar Avenue between the railroad (?Illinois Central?) on the east and Hollywood Street on the west. I have lived in the midtown area, in and around Binghampton, since 1975, and in talking to the older residents, have learned that Binghampton is a very old, formerly unincorporated region of Shelby County before being annexed into Memphis. I cannot cite references yet, but will work on that when I have the opportunity to visit the Memphis Room at the new Hooks Library. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragityman (talk • contribs) 18:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hallelujah! I'm back!I have been trying to log on for MONTHS! Some of you may have figured out that I was doing my editing while not logged in. I've been using a handheld device with a Safari browser, and I'm still not sure what the problem was (I had forgotten my password, to complicate matters). I may only be able to log on at the library for a while, but the strangest thing is that I can log on to Species.Wikimedia, Wiktionary, and Commons on the handheld, but not onto enWikipedia. I will attempt to load another browser on the handheld (Huawei M860), if support says it's possible. I'm reading in the news that some of the Safari browsers reject cookies by default. I have changed the settings numerous times to "accept," but the way it jumps when I try to log on, not letting me input the password sometimes at all, or not letting me hit "submit" before leaving the page, makes me suspect a software or hardware in·compatibility. Anyway, I'm not gone, just inhibited. I'll figure it out. Ragityman (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

comments on your observationsI don't know about John but Softlavender is an extremely disruptive and contentious editor. Just look at his talk page and see how many warnings and fights he's been in. He does act like he owns articles. This kind of editor harms Wikipedia. My advice is to let Wikipedia go to pot. Don't fight over it but let those people destroy Wikipedia. I realize that some people don't like these "Death of ---" articles but, for Prince, it meets the requirements by far. If people are unhappy, they need to discuss it Wikipedia-wide. Similarly, people like softlavender are destroying Wikipedia but one person alone cannot fight it. The system has to realize it and develop methods. I don't think most administrators have the vision to do it. Whiskeymouth (talk) 05:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Ragityman, thanks for creating List of Georgia fire departments! I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your source(s). Per WP:SOURCELIST: Lists, whether they are stand-alone lists (also called list articles) or embedded lists, are encyclopedic content just as paragraph-only articles or sections are. Therefore, all individual items on the list must follow Wikipedia's content policies: the core content policies of Verifiability (through good sources in the item's one or more references), No original research, and Neutral point of view, plus the other content policies as well. Although the format of a list might require less detail per topic, Wikipedia policies and procedures apply equally to both a list of similar things as well as to any related article to which an individual thing on the list might be linked. The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Boleyn (talk) 14:04, 28 October 2017 (UTC) TroyanosYou're very kind, thanks. I try. I know this can be a wild and woolly place...I've had many as helped me along the way, and I figure anything I can do to make it easier on others I can. It's funny how Troyanos has loomed large in my development in one way or another over the years. I was eight the summer she died - we were on vacation, I remember, and my father was coming late because he had to work. And my parents were talking on the phone one night, and my mother mentioned in passing that Troyanos had died. I remember thinking that she wasn't that old, and then realizing, with dawning horror, that if she could die so young, then maybe so could other people. Like parents. She was the first celebrity whose death struck me in that fashion. Looking back now, with the benefits of YouTube, I'm sorry I never had the chance to experience her work live. She was a fine singer, though not especially memorable in that regard. What always strikes me, though, is the totality of her performances - she was one of a rare breed of thinking artists whose conception of a role was worth experiencing. Though I've only seen televised excerpts, things like her Eboli remain the gold standard for me, simply because of how utterly theatrical they are. She was a remarkable woman, and I often think her early death was an incredible loss to us all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Block
I have recently had the experience of having my IP "blocked from editing any and all wiki-projects of the WMF" apparently including talk pages. The block was for 1 month, but by the stated period, the block should have expired. Also I was instructed to request a waiver or an unblock on Meta-Wiki, but I found that I could not edit my talkpage, or indeed any page on Meta. The reason given for the block was something like "using a proxy IP provider." I was logged in, except on the WMF homesite, where my unversal login doesn't work, but it was rather a bother that I was logged in to Meta, where there was a message awaiting my response, and yet I was not allowed to respond, or to request help. My ISP, whenever I open a browser, assigns an IP #, and usually not the same one as has been previously assigned. I must confess that I am not very conversant with some of these terms — I barely know what a proxy is, at least in reference to the internet and wikipedia. I am accused of uploading, or downloading (i forget which), massive quantities of spam from "my" IP. To my knowledge I have never loaded any spam, especially massively. I have to conclude, since the block has been in place for over a month, that someone else has used the IP. I got rhe message re: 93.174.93.71, as well as one other, which I thought I had also written down, but evidently not. The admin(?) who blocked me was Vituzzu, I believe.
I would also like to request a waiver. On occasion I find it useful, even necessary and obligatory, to use the TOR system. I hereby request to at least be able to leave discussion-page messages when using TOR. I have 2,000 edits, and I don't think I have ever been blocked. That's not a tremendous #, especially not compared to some, but if enWP needs more in the way of bona fides, I would prefer to communicate by email or telephone (text will work). I can be reached at Ragityman(at)gmail. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. rags (talk) 23:11, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mike Hoefflinger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Thanks for your kind commentsI am flattered that you remember my flag galleries and wish the deletionists had not prevailed. It was indeed very discouraging to see a lot of hard work undone by bureaucracy, and I am sure I am far from alone in feeling driven off WP by similar experiences (not literally driven off of course, but emotionally). I am busy with other projects now, and happy to leave it to others to work to make WP a premiere source for vexillological information. (And by the way, I'm not sure where you got the impression I was female -- I'm just middle aged white dude :-). I do very much agree that WP needs to take gender inequity far more seriously. They do not seem to be seeing this as a systemic issue, not just a matter of outreach.) ScottMainwaring (talk) 4 April 2020 Your draft article, Draft:Mike HoefflingerHello, Ragityman.
