I represent the Dunedin History Museum and the city historian. The reference link(s) to the first land grant and the incorporation of the city is from an old incorrect city of Dunedin page. The dates 1852 and 1925 are incorrect for the first land grant and the founding of the city.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.115.241 (talk • contribs) 15:10 4 August 2021 (UTC)

In fact that editor has repeatedly refused to advise me of what the problem is. I'm surprised to hear that editor is an experienced editor as I had not seen need to check. Right off attempting to inject FRINGE political bias and going on to repeatedly demand I debate positions I don't hold is strange for an experienced editor. I have said several times that we can remove and change any parts of my added text and asked how he wants to do that: He still refuses to reply instead insisting on these debates.

Hey there, Donald. I'm not sure about this, but can you check to see if the user User:GymratW is a sock of User:Becausewhynothuh?? This user certainly might be having a WP:COI with the city articles and is changing the images. If you don't have time, then I'll ask another checkuser. Thanks.

I've set up a SPI on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Becausewhynothuh?. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NoobThreePointOh: Sorry, I am not a checkuser. Donald Albury 15:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Donald Albury Oh, I was looking at your user groups and saw the checkuser permission in there. Ok. Thanks for letting me know. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 15:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you see that? It isn't here. I had checkuser while I was on ArbCom, but I never learned how to use it, and it was removed when I resigned. If something is showing me with CU, I need to get it changed. Donald Albury 16:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Donald Albury Well, it was showing in your user group page. I was a little confused, since it still showed you as a checkuser. Yeah, you might want to remove the checkuser permission from that page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 16:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That shows that I had check user in November 2022 when I removed autopatrolled from my rights. I cannot add or remove checkuser from my own rights, and check user, as well as oversight, were removed 1 January 2023, as recorded here. Donald Albury 16:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. Ok. All right then. Thanks for letting me know. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the article about flatworms. The taxobox for Acoelomorpha clearly says it is a subphylum in the phylum Xenacoelomorpha. And in the article for Xenacoelomorpha, the article says "The clade (groupings of organisms based on their most recent shared/common ancestors) Xenacoelomorpha groups the Acoelomorpha and the genus Xenoturbella, due to molecular studies". So it is really mentioned in the Xenacoelomorpha article. 178.232.173.10 (talk) 03:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
