Hello, I'm Jerium (pseudonym); formerly Jerm, and I've been editing Wikipedia since 2014. My contributions over the years have been reverting vandalism, preventing or stoping disruptive editing, handling editors with inappropriate usernames, and those who attempt to advertise on Wikipedia. That has been my editing routine then and now and is unlikly to change. Rarely do I contribute to the creation and expansion of articles. I do contribute to the creation of awards on Wikipedia, but likewise with my contributions to articles, rarely.
>Very high pending changes backlog: 23 pages according to DatBot as of 15:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm predominantly known on Wikipedia for remastering and making new original barnstars. My first barnstar was made back in 2019. From then on, I've made over a hundred-plus, and all of them can be viewed by clicking here. I don't take requests. Make a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards to have a barnstar made. I'll be watching but the probability of a response is unlikely. My current objective is the creation of barnstars by countries (not to be confused with national merit), but the ideal of making a barnstar for every country is definitely not going to happen, that doesn't mean I won't try.
The Passive Barnstar may be awarded to editors who have continued to contribute without seeking revenge or other forms of recompense in the face of rebuttals, sarcastic remarks, or outright personal attacks prior to the initiation of a discussion, during a discussion, or after its conclusion.
The Molecular and Cell Biology Barnstar may be awarded to editors who've made significant contributions to Molecular biology and Cell biology-related articles.
I can also create userboxes; my first userbox was User wikipedia/Earwig's Copyvio Detector. I prefer to create userboxes related to editing Wikipedia. I normally create non-Wiki userboxes on my own time, however I do accept requests. If you would like someone else to create a userbox for you, please inquire here. To be clear, neither the userboxes I create on request nor at random indicate that I endorse or approve the messages they display, nor do they reveal anything about my personal identity.

(Discuss) – Fimbulvetr → Fimbulwinter – More common name in English, i get 73% more results in Google than the Old Norse name (142k vs 246k), also in line with other Wikipedia languages whom have the name translated to the indigenous language. Blockhaj (talk) 14:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – 2024 Uttar Pradesh crowd crush → 2024 Hathras crowd crush – The title should be precise about the location. The article was moved from Hathras to Uttar Pradesh without discussion. Most commenters in the subsequent RM ignored the location aspect of the title. 2A00:23CC:B4AA:2F01:8CCD:1CFF:FEBB:539F (talk) 10:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Battle of Geneina → Geneina massacre – Referring to the page as the Battle of Geneina made sense when it was first created, but the June massacres and new details and reports revealing the amount of the destruction and killings shows that this was moreso a coordinated campaign of massacres and attacks by the RSF and allied militias against the Masalit people in Geneina, with just about every source highlighting the genocidal massacres and atrocities over the clashes.

(Discuss) – Very Nice → Very Nice (disambiguation) – Maybe an eager move, but there is only one article within the current mainspace. There are no mentions to "Very Nice" in Borat's article, the only Dermansky novel with an article is a stub, and only one album under the record label has an article, plus the label would likely be "Very Nice Records" if it had an article. Not to say these other things wont eventually be notable, but in the meantime I would say the song is WP:PRIMARYTOPICOrangesclub (talk) 06:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 06:48, 3 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 03:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Tonlé Sap → Tonlé Sap Lake – The original name before renamed after the discussion Talk:Tonlé_Sap#Rename above, due to possible confusion with the river that connect the lake and Mekong. The name "Tonlé Sap Lake" is NOT redundant at all. In that discussion user Markalexander100 stated that "Khmer and English terms aren't quite equivalent. In Khmer, as far as I can tell, there is one name- Tonle Sap- which refers to the lake and river together, while in English we differentiate them." This is not quite right because the official name of the lake in Khmer is "បឹងទន្លេសាប" (Boeng Tonle Sap), where បឹង/boeng means lake. So clearly they still have the word "lake" in the name, to differentiate it from the river. ទន្លេ/Tonle means river and that's its only meaning, not "Tonlé already means lake (or a very large, wide river)" as stated by user Dara above. For example, Mekong is "Tonlé Mekong", Bassac River is "Tonlé Bassac", Kong River is "Tonlé Kong". There's no known translation as Tonlé to "lake". Another similarly named geographic feature is the Boeng Tonle Chhmar (a smaller lake next to the Tonle Sap Lake). So to sum up, if we say "Tonle Sap" (without adding "Boeng") to the Khmer-speaking people, theoretically we are referring to the river (according to the meaning of the words). But then since the lake is too well-known, the term "Tonle Sap" will become ambiguous. However, as a matter of fact, they should be able to tell which one you are referring to, based on the context of the conversation. My suggestion is to rename this article to Tonlé Sap Lake, and have a separate article about the river. Two options for this separate article's name is: #Tonlé Sap (as per its literal meaning in Khmer) or, #Tonlé Sap (river) and Tonlé Sap becomes the disambiguation page. The reason for having a separate article for the river is simply because not everything about the river can be merged into the lake's article. For example, Phnom Penh, the state's capital, is located at the mouth of the river and there's probably something about the river related to Phnom Penh's urban planning that's worth writing about. And merging these into the lake's article would be inappropriate. ទន្លេតូច (talk) 23:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Roman Palestine (period) → Roman Palestine – This page was originally created over the redirect that currently sits at the base name, but this move was contested, so I have recreated the page with a disambiguated title. Roman Palestine is a period term for the portion of the history of Palestine characterized by Roman rule, from the time of the vassalage of the region after the Romans intervened in local politics until the Arab conquest. There are some slight variations to this, with the Britannica entry setting the start date as the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, but as other sources show [1][2], 63 BC to 70 AD can also be characterized as "Early Roman Palestine". From the literature both on page and out there and discoverable, and not least the Britannica entry, it seems pretty clear that the period is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term. While the current redirect to Syria Palaestina strikes upon perhaps the most obvious constituent subdivision of the Roman period, there was nothing less Roman about the earlier Roman Judaea or the period of local dynastic vassalage still prior to this, or the Byzantine-era Diocese of the East period afterwards. On the contrary, it would be highly unusual not to consider the earlier periods also part of the Roman Palestine period (and to laser focus in on Syria Palaestina). Works such as Jesus and the Politics of Roman Palestine simply make no sense if you exclude Roman Judaea from the equation. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Satanism – "Not only is Satanism a wide-reaching category, but the work of LaVey alone and the influence of LaVeyan Satanism on the cultural shift in the western world away from traditional religous organizations - is enormous. From theistic to atheistic subsets - to literature, figures, subcultures and social movements... it is a lot to encapsulate. That is why I support the creation of this WikiProject."4theloveofallthings (talk) 01:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC)"

Fur the appealing Template:The Feline Barnstar, which is purrrty, really says "check meowt", and claws its way to the top of striking barnstars. The memory is fuzzy, and maybe I was napping when it was introduced, or I would've pounced on this sooner. I think I just should've stalked WT:FELINE more closely, and I prey you'll forgive me. — SMcCandlish☏ ¢ 😼 02:18, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

You're just destroying the guy right now. You've beaten me to a handful of edits. Including a couple of edit conflicts. Unfortunately, this is a known LTA, so he'll keep on going until he's blocked. And after that, he'll switch to different IPs. Keep up the good work! LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 05:08, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
