Stovies

Not sure why you reverted my edit on stovies. My copy was based on etymologies in various print and online dictionaries and the fact that the Scots word was in use (albeit with a slightly different meaning) before the modern French word étuvé developed. For example, the Chambers Dictionary (which is Scottish) states that ‘stovies’ comes from ‘stove’. Billtkd (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Billtkd, the appropriate place to discuss an article is the article talk page. If you want to discuss it further, please do so there but my answer would be that you removed material supported by what are clearly reliable sources, McNeill and Collins. They may or may not be wrong but they are reliable, and it is Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth that counts. You provided a personal opinion in your edit summary but no citations in support.

I was wrong

Greetings, Mutt. I sincerely apologize for my latest errors in editing the articles on the linguistic evolution of the Scots language. Although I had good intentions in updating the information and adding references, my efforts have not been successful, and ended up making these next 3 mistakes:

1. Initially, I aimed to align the references in both the articles of "History of the Scots language" and the history section of the "Scots language", but I encountered inconsistencies due to differing contexts (summary vs. full article).
2. Afterwards, my anachronistic edits did not accurately reflect the original sources and were poorly organized. Rather than aiding comprehension for casual readers, these changes may have ended up confusing them.
3. And lastly, despite having read the sources that clarify where the English immigrants who settled in the Scottish Lowlands originated from, I included them without adhering to an encyclopedic format. I recognize that this was a mistake, and I still need to learn how to properly reference lengthy historical texts.

As you can see, while I have stopped making certain mistakes, I inadvertently created new ones that could be perceived as edit-warring. Furthermore, I found out that "Midlands" as one of the regions that the English migrants originated from was actually correct, but that was in another source that I already changed in the two articles, we both didn't know what the source was from, now I understand.

Tommy Adams (footballer)

A bit late, but I was just reading how the AFD ended. And I noted your reply to me that "Eh? That isn't converse to my suggestion that providing details of a supportive source, that the use". I wasn't clear, but I was trying to add on to what you said - not disagreeing with you. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer with what I wrote, and I fully agreed with you! Nfitz (talk) 22:00, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Ok, fair enough, but I agree, that really wasn't clear. Nae bother though. Mutt Lunker (talk) 22:48, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

I Swear - first night

I was present. I checked the local papers to see if they had reported it, but they haven't yet, and anyway they are not necessarily reliable sources. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture, but it was very moving and an insight into how the film was recieved in the town where it was made. Scottish Learner (talk) 12:04, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

I believe you and I'm sure it was but neither you, nor I, are what Wikipedia classes as reliable sources, so we can't add material based on what we have witnessed alone. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:30, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

John MacCoone

Hello, while John MacCoone is mentioned multiple times throughout the citations provided, he technically follows the Wikipedia:Notability (people) sections of:

• WP:POLITICIAN
• WP:NPOL
• WP:JUDGE

As he was a juror multiple times on the Rhode Island General Assembly (at the time called the General Court of Rhode Island). Besides this, MacCoone is a notable person to the foundation of the city of Westerly, Rhode Island and the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Please see all citations and read through the actual sources before proposing deletion of this article. 108.59.60.242 (talk) 19:05, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, a more appropriate place to dicscuss this would be the article talk page. If you wish, you could respond to the thread I started there three weeks ago. Mutt Lunker (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good, you may find my replies there. 108.59.60.242 (talk) 15:40, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Mutt Lunker. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:

• You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
• Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).

It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:

• When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
• Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
• Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).

Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! – robertsky (talk) 14:52, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

IBS

Why did you undo my edit? The notion that IBS is psychosomatic is outdated and the source for the passage you restored is 25 years. ~2025-38256-62 (talk) 17:28, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

The material is sourced. I see it has been restored and updated and a response given to you at the talk page. Gain consensus before restoring your edits and do not war. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
