As a random user passing by, I also admire the 20 years Future Perfect was active on Wikipedia. Totally incredible! From Alba, Celtoi, (talk) 08:07, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Tigranes the Great's invasion of the Parthian Empire

This article is sad copy of the Armeno-Parthian war article that, I believe, you redirected to Military campaigns of Tigranes the Great. It would appear this needs to be done again. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:34, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Already redirected.--Kansas Bear (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Said editor appears to be mentioned in an SPI. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:37, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, perhaps an Admin should warn them about copying articles from other languages; Armenian-Parthian War(Russian) and Siege of Narbonne(French). These are two I've found so far. The French sources for the so-called Siege of Narbonne don't check out and Buminkhagan has ignored the talk page and edit warring. They've been making articles within minutes. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:51, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Would you want Siege of Narbonne (719) deleted? Currently it would qualify under WP:CSD#G5, unless somebody else starts substantially editing it. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:50, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

It would appear all of their articles have been deleted. --Kansas Bear (talk) 12:31, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Securing my account.

Hi. I recently switched to using a new computer and to using Edge. I have been logged out of Wikipedia on Edge and discovered I cannot log back in. I'm still logged in with my Firefox browser though. I now regret I didn't provide Wikipedia with a recovery email. Not sure what else to do, being in limbo, and on the verge of losing control of my account I've posted my full name to my homepage. I don't recall changing my password and I typically write it down whenever I do. If you can, please help me better secure my account. Modocc (talk) 19:41, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Update. I'm logged in now with Edge. I had been copypasting and I switched to typing my password instead. :-) Modocc (talk) 19:52, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

I've also provided a recovery email so this won't happen again. Modocc (talk) 20:08, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

I recently discovered that I had a year or two ago unintentionally published my username Modocc on Zenodo account which was under my full name. I didn't know it was their default setting. So I'm already outed. Modocc (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Glad to hear the problem is solved. Do you want the edit to your user page revision-deleted? Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:26, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes. Thanks. Modocc (talk) 20:45, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

My Silesian Land

This article (My Silesian Land) was speedily deleted. I am wondering whether I could get the information back and work on it especially since it was the anthem of the region. Thanks. The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 05:47, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I'm afraid there was hardly anything useable in that page as it stood. It wasn't just created by a block-evading sock, it was also fundamentally and irredeemably wrong. The very definition of the topic was fatally mixing up two different songs (the one it was ostensibly about is of anonymous authorship; the article attributed it to a poet and composer who wrote another song, an entirely different one, under a similar title). The sourcing was all over the place (unreliable sources, dead links, Wikipedia mirrors, sources that didn't confirm what was claimed, and/or sources that were about that other song rather than this one). All the rest was irrelevant POV editorializing and irrelevant self-made lyrics translations into languages this song was never sung in. The claim that it was "the anthem" of this region in any meaningful sense is entirely up in the air. Seriously, if you want to write an article on this topic, you'd be much better off starting from scratch without the distraction of this mess. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:00, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, i never really looked in depth into the article but now I understand why it was deleted, I’ve seen it claimed as an unofficial anthem but of course will need to find sources for that. I’ll try rewrite it (this time with proper sources and proper claims). Thanks for the information and assistance, I have a growing interest in the region due to learning my Great Great Grandmother was a Polish Silesian! Well thank you and have a nice day The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 17:19, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Sure, feel free. I'd just recommend you shouldn't take claims of any symbolic "anthem" status of the song representing "Silesia" as a region in its entirety too much at face value, unless you find them extremely well sourced from reliable neutral sources. From all I've seen myself, this song has a rather lopsided tradition – it goes from German nationalism, through Nazism (it was routine part of Nazi song books), through later German militarism (it was also part of rather questionable Bundeswehr song books that continued to preserve the same repertoire the Nazis had used), all the way to its use by German Silesian expellee organizations such as the Landsmannschaft Schlesien (which by now is itself little more than a far-right nationalist fringe group). It's not a coincidence that the rather immature sockpuppeter who pushed this topic here in Wikipedia thought it a good idea to illustrate it with a sound recording taken from an actual, literal Nazi SA marching band from the 1930s (it was hideous, you could almost see the brown caps bobbing up and down just from listening to the way they sang). I have the suspicion your great great grandmother would not have felt it represented her very much, if she was of Silesian Polish extraction. It also happens to be a rather crappy song in the first place, with incredibly tacky lyrics even in comparison with other songs from that period and genre. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:24, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Interesting, I have heard recordings of it from before the NS era and I thought (as a non-German speaker) it was quite a nice song, sadly the Nazis took a lot of the songs of the era and twisted it. I like the history of Silesia from both the German and Polish angles (as I have both in my family). You seem to know a lot about it so I’m very happy to have met someone who knows the topic well. I’ll look for sources (predominately ones from before the era of the Nazis) and see if it’s worthy of an article.

Thank you for the information, you’ve enlightened me on the topic.

• Note- my interest in the song isn’t from a Nazi angle, just wanted to make that clear so there’s no confusion 😅 The Grenadian Historian (Aka. Mwen Sé Kéyòl Translator-a) (talk) 07:02, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
