Dale Wilson
Some sources, like obituaries, state that he was born on December 31 rather than May 10, but I am unsure if they are reliable sources. 75.91.240.74 (talk) 20:35, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

I promised myself
Hi, on the basshunter version of I promised myself, you removed my edit on an old account for vandalism despite me citing genuine sources. Would you be able to elaborate on why that is? Thanks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I_Promised_Myself&diff=prev&oldid=1269481324 Lovefromjuliaxo (talk) 23:01, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but it seems you may have gotten something mixed up. I was not the person who reverted you, that would be Binksternet. His reversion simply changed the articles version back to when I last edited it. fanfanboy (blocktalk) 13:24, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

This show doesn't even exist at all and it's fanmade. This was back when I was making stuff up (though I don't do that anymore) 71.3.64.166 (talk) 16:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. Don't add false information next time. Thanks! fanfanboy (blocktalk) 16:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Would also highly recommend using edit summaries to clarify why you are making an edit. fanfanboy (blocktalk) 16:31, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Userbox contrast issue
Hi Fanfanboy, you might want to change the background of your userbox as the wikilink to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints only gets a contrast ratio of 1.57, when it should at least be 4.5, according to MOS:CONTRAST. Nobody (talk) 14:00, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know, I'm used to the link being purple so I never really noticed the poor contrast. Is brightening the link like I just did acceptable? fanfanboy (blocktalk) 14:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- That might have some dark mode issues. See this. Has 1.47 ratio. Nobody (talk) 17:46, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, I've removed the noinvert from the colored link template and brightened the link further. Looks like the contrast ratio is acceptable now. Also, I think this problem only applies to the dark mode gadget as I use the dark mode in the drop down under the appearance section in preferences and I have no issues on any part of the webisite (expect some semi-transparent sections like closures). fanfanboy (blocktalk) 19:33, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- There are a few ways to use dark mode, some are listed at Wikipedia:Dark mode, and not all have the same issues. Nobody (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for letting me know, and thanks for pointing out the poor contrast. fanfanboy (blocktalk) 20:05, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
