Two Women Talking
Thank you for preventing perennial edit wars by simply editing to coalesce divergent views. You've earned the gratitude of the WP Community! I'm always so very impressed with your clarity of thought and clear expression of tolerance toward the wayward and pernicious inclinations of ludicrous hullabaloo-ers.

I see you are curious about live feeds updating the current BB27 page. I understand the frustration and hurt by seeing the spoiler as I was confused the first time I found the pages on Big Brother 11. Julie Chen Moonves does however encourage viewers to watch the live feeds and see "what is happening live inside the Big Brother house" From viewing it is no different than sports tournament pages that update life as matches and games are finished. The page usually updates post HoH comp, initial noms post veto comp, post veto noms, and then again post eviction.
Example: Right now the US open is happening and matches are being completed now. I haven't watched some them yet, though the matches are still updated as such. I just avoid them as I haven't watched them yet but may look if I do not plan on watching them just to see the outcome. JoyfullySmile (talk) 03:22, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- I love Julie Chen but I doubt she edits Wikipedia. While I was at work today I recorded the Cubs late afternoon game so I could watch it in the evening. I had the opportunity to listen to the game on the radio during the ride home, but resisted. I didn't want to spoil my enjoyment of watching the game. I didn't want to know who did what and when and why and what the final score was. I hate knowing that Mickie wins the veto. I shouldn't know that until next Wednesday. What I said elsewhere is True: "The unpredictable journey is damaged if outcomes are known ahead of time." Anyway, I'll drop the stick but I'm not happy about it. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 06:07, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- But I guarantee the 2025 Chicago Cubs season page was updated even though you did not watch it live. Sucks to have happen but so glad you avoided the spoilers from the game and could experience it in your own time. JoyfullySmile (talk) 06:46, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Eddy: suggested image
Hi Buster7, when it comes time to give the Eddy to CaddyShack, how about using this image of the Supreme Court building? Directly indicates one of their areas of work.

Archiving of editor of the week nomination talk page
Regarding this edit: archiving for page should have already been handled by ClueBot III. I like how that bot tries to fix up links to discussions when it moves them to the archive page. However, that does mean the bot gets overloaded for pages that are frequently linked to by other pages, causing it to stop processing, so typically high-traffic pages are archived by Lowercase sigmabot III (the successor to Mizrabot) to avoid halting Cluebot III. It's not a big deal, though (I'm just providing some background). Plus MediaWiki now has a feature where it tries to find a discussion thread in archive pages if it is no longer on the talk page, and provides a popup with links to any that it finds. isaacl (talk) 00:00, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the Editor of the Week award (and a small request)
Hello @Buster7,
I'm fbgpwns5277, who received the Editor of the Week award today.
First of all, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for the award and for creating the banner.
If it's not too much trouble, may I kindly ask for a small edit to the banner? The "notable work" currently lists South Korea at the 2016 Summer Olympics, which I edited about nine years ago. I feel that it no longer reflects my recent contributions and the reasons for this award. If possible, could you please update it to Category:People of the Imjin War — which I've recently devoted much effort to — or simply remove the notable work section altogether? If that's not feasible, please feel free to disregard this request.
Once again, thank you so much for all your hard work and kindness! Fbgpwns5277 (talk) 04:21, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
Done with a smile! Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 05:10, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
Clovermoss is missing from the Eddys Hall of Fame
Hi Buster7, I noticed that Clovermoss is listed as EotWeek for December 10, 2023:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Editor_Retention/Editor_of_the_Week
However, her Eddy infobox is not shown in the Hall of Fame : the list of 2023 recipients ends with Novem Linguae, December 7, 2023.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Editor_Retention/Editor_of_the_Week/Hall_of_Fame
Just curious; maybe she wants it that way? but just thought I'd inquire in case it's an oversight. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:00, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
- Done Yes, It WAS an oversight. Thanks for catching it. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 06:28, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
Thirteen years later...
I was copyediting the Montreal Expos article, and suddenly it popped into my head: I have Tim Raines's autobiography, though I still haven't read it (nearly a decade later :D). But I realized I could try to follow up on our discussion at Talk:Tim Raines § Personal life. Can you believe that our discussion thirteen years ago is still the last non-bot edit to the talk page? All Raines says about the matter is that his marriage ended in 2005, so I put it in the article to bridge that gap in his personal history, even if it's a sad event to recount. isaacl (talk) 01:48, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Buster7, thank you for everything you do to keep EOTW humming. It spreads so much happiness and camaraderie across the 'pedia, and certainly helps with editor retention. And making editing fun! It couldn't happen without your hard work, and as a quite recent EOTW recipient, it really means a lot to the people who receive the recognition. Thank you for the holiday wishes, and let me return the favor by saying the best to you and yours in 2026 :)

AI
From the Pluribus article: Artificial Intelligence promises "smooshing" all human intelligence into one obsequious collective mind". Josh Rosenberg of Esquire interpreted Pluribus as an allegory for humanity's "bizarre acceptance" of artificial intelligence in a story that "for once, we're watching a meaningful story about our connection to AI that isn't solely about choosing whether to fall in love with it or kill it". Gilligan has noted his own disdain for AI, and an anti-AI disclaimer in the end credits of Pluribus states that "this show was made by humans". Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 19:15, 12 December 2025 (UTC)
