Hello HotMess, I wanted to inquire if you would want to donate your "thoosie" userbox to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Templates page? I think it is a fun design that might resonate with other editors. Hope all is going well! Adog (Talk・Cont) 15:50, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

👀

sounds cool, how do I donate it? 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk | contrib) 14:07, 8 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

All that is needed is to put {{yy|User:HotMess/Templates/user thoosie}} to the bottom of the userbox template list. I have been thinking about making some boxes in the past, but never got around to it. Maybe in the future, I will also add some fun phrases to our WikiProject.

HI. Thanks for helping me improve the article I created at Protection Court. I appreciate it much. However, I'm also trying to get a WP:DYK approval, and they won't do it with the tags on the article, so could find other ways to help without using them? Thanks for understanding.

I removed the promotional tone, and I like your idea about the merger of the two similar statements. I'll work on it. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I just undid your edits on Rocky de la Fuente, because they were a very understandable error. Y'see, Rocky's sons Ricky and Roque III have also run for political office (it's covered toward the bottom of the article). It was their elections you added to Rocky's chart. (Making it even more confusing is that Rocky and one of his sons ran in the same election, CA district 21.)

Welcome to the confusing world that is the de la Fuente dynasty. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 00:04, 15 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The integrity of our family history is paramount, and I believe the removal of the "grandchildren" section and the names of A.K. Faezul Huq's children compromises this integrity.

The inclusion of these details is not merely a matter of sentimentality, but a fundamental aspect of preserving our family's accurate lineage. Unfortunately, there have been individuals who have falsely claimed kinship with our family, causing confusion and potential harm to our reputation. By accurately documenting the descendants of A.K. Faezul Huq, we can safeguard our family history from such misrepresentations.

The names of his children represent a vital link to our past and present. Their omission creates a void in our family narrative, diminishing the significance of their contributions and their place within our lineage.

I understand the importance of maintaining a concise presentation, but I firmly believe that the accurate representation of our family history outweighs any concerns about brevity. I am confident that we can find a way to present this information in a manner that is both accurate and concise, ensuring that the integrity of our family history is upheld.

I urge you to reconsider this decision and work with me to find a solution that preserves the accuracy and completeness of our family history. Faizaan.huh (talk) 21:38, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

1. I would strongly suggest moving this discussion to Talk:A. K. Faezul Huq instead, seeing as this discussion is about that article.

2. See WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic. I'm not sure how listing the names of all of A. K. Faezul Huq's children and grandchildren supports the reader's understanding of the notable topic of A. K. Faezul Huq himself.

If you wish to discuss this further, lets continue this discussion over on Talk:A. K. Faezul Huq instead, alright? 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 22:46, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

The date of birth for A K Faezul Huq is correct, irrespective of what you have found in other places: 15 March, 1945. He was my late father and I have his passport to substantiate this.

Regards. Minist3r (talk) 14:28, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please could we keep the discussions about the A. K. Faezul Huq article within Talk: A. K. Faezul Huq? 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 15:26, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, HotMess. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Emergency legislation, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 22:07, 28 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, HotMess. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Emergency legislation".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:32, 29 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Is the userbox User:HotMess/Templates/user transfem supposed to add Category:Trans women Wikipedians to the userpage where it is placed? I don't know anything about templates but if that's what it's supposed to do I don't think it works... --cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 13:22, 3 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads-up! I realized I made a little bit of an oopsie with one of the parameter names on it, but good news is that it was an easy fix (and I have fixed that problem (same with the transmasc template)).

Also, I noticed the flag image on the template went a bit iffy, but I've managed to resolve that problem as well (on all three of my trans templates). 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 19:14, 3 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Responding to your reply from the DRV. My signature is shorthand for my full username. Nobody has taken issue with it in the time I've been actively editing on Wikipedia. I don't have a problem with editing it, however would definitely be surprising if an editor took issue with a simple abbreviation.

I realise now that your signature is deliberately meant to look like a "hot mess". It was the black gaps in the word "mess" that caused confusion, but it was not a major issue. Other editors use black coloured text in their usernames which isn't visible in dark mode. I hope this provides some context. 11WB (talk) 20:24, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

It was the black gaps in the word "mess" that caused confusion, but it was not a major issue. Other editors use black coloured text in their usernames which isn't visible in dark mode.

I'm a bit confused by that, because there isn't any black text in my username (there's only red text and orange text), so I have no idea how to fix that issue. Sorry about that. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 21:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The word I meant to use is spacing. 11WB (talk) 21:25, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not quite sure where the spacing is either (here's what it looks like in dark mode on my end: https://postimg.cc/3W6stTtK), so, again, genuinely not sure how to fix it for you. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 21:42, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

The signature in your screenshot looks how I assume it is intended to. On my end, I see this. I'll consider this something that has gone wrong on my end. I'll have to keep an eye out for any other anomalies like this one in future. 11WB (talk) 22:00, 22 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Just to follow up @HotMess regarding the signature. It appears normal on desktop both in light and dark mode. I think it is an Android specific issue. 11WB (talk) 17:38, 23 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

@11wallisb If you're on Android, I'd suggest trying out the Wikipedia App. Here's what it looks like on my end in the android app: https://postimg.cc/14ND8GkT

then again, if that still doesn't work, I think it might be an issue with the default font on your phone having an incomplete character set or something (thus refusing to render certain characters). No idea how to fix that issue, however. 🔥HOTm̵̟͆e̷̜̓s̵̼̊s̸̜̃🔥 (talk・edits) 13:42, 24 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
