Thanks for the comment that you posted in the Morris Ankrum section on my talk page. I appreciate your comments and your support. I can see from the links that you provided that this situation is just the latest of many contentious matters in which they have been involved. I guess I shouldn't let it bother me when people intentionally ignore Wikipedia standards, but I care about such things. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I understand what you mean for sure. Recently, I have just come to realize that if users have made it well into adulthood (their 70s in this case) without developing much appreciation for humility or collegiality, I am unlikely to be able to instill such values into them myself. In these cases, I just try to clean up the edits and report to venues like SPI if it becomes obvious enough.

Thanks for your diligence and your attempts to clearly explain matters to these users. Larry Hockett (Talk) 16:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Larry, I appreciates your feed back to edits that I have made to the Honourable Mr Jeremy Buckingham, MLCs wiki page. As you can tell I'm new to editing Wikipedia and so far, it has been a positive experience, however some parts are proving to be a nightmare such as replacing photos in the infobox.

You appear to know what's up so would it be too much to ask for directions to a simple step by step tutorial on replacing photos on Wikipedia. I've read through the official Wikipedia stuff but so far has not been fruitful.

thanks for your time CannabisCurator (talk) 02:54, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - I am sorry for the slow reply. I have uploaded some of my own images to WP articles and at time replaced one image with another, but it can be a fairly complex area since it involves concepts like copyright, public domain, and fair use. I wouldn’t consider it to be one of my stronger areas, but here is a help page that may point you in the right direction. Larry Hockett (Talk) 15:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Larry really appreciate your guidance. I've been able to update the infobox image, so there is hope for me yet. CannabisCurator (talk) 03:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you review it again obviously there is no score board number it was damaged by tied 2 or team lead number it doesn't look like 3-2 or 7-2 can you fix it please I was trying to fix and you declined my request I was trying to help? 2600:4808:4891:8E01:8C97:CD67:DD7F:2E78 (talk) 22:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your offer to help, and I'm happy to help you, but I can't quite make out your message. If you could, please tell me the first thing you would like me to fix, in a short but specific sentence. Then please put a period after that sentence. Then please list the next specific thing you would like me to fix, followed by another period. That way we can make sure we do not misunderstand each other.

Before my edit, it said that the next meeting of the teams would be two days ago. Larry Hockett (Talk) 23:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it anyway never mind. 2600:4808:4891:8E01:8C97:CD67:DD7F:2E78 (talk) 00:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
