*'''''Since July, I've turned off my mentions to avoid being pinged. It's not because I don't like it, but there's [[User:MidAtlanticBaby|an annoying LTA]] who keeps pinging me and several other editors with his extremely immature bullshit he posts on every page he can think of with a load of proxies, and I don't think it's going to stop for a year at the most, or even worse, at the least.'''''

Hello fellow North Carolinian [[User:ReallyAmazingDude13|ReallyAmazingDude13]] ([[User talk:ReallyAmazingDude13|talk]]) 03:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
== Environmental Impact statements ==
I just found a few environmental impact statements about I-85 that will probably be of use to you. When citing them, be sure to use the exact title given in the document and {{para|via|Newspapers.com}} at the end of the citation.

== Important note about speedy deletion ==
Hi NoobThreePointOh! I greatly appreciate your efforts countering that LTA constantly re-creating attack pages over and over and over again. But there is one major thing I wanted to point out, that I strongly suggest you follow – from now on, uncheck the "notify the page creator" box when CSD-tagging the pages they make. This is clearly and obviously an LTA who will ''never'', ''ever'' actually listen to warnings whatsoever, so all that these notices really are doing is 1. inflaming the troll further by angering them and giving them more reason to actually do it; 2. creating ''unnecessary'' additional workload in the future for other editors when they blank out old inactive IP talk pages; 3. possibly creating confusion for legitimate other editors who happen to be using those IP addresses. The principle of minimal participation ([[Wikipedia:Revert, block, ignore]]) suggests not to place warnings or notices on LTAs' talk pages when dealing with their edits whatsoever.
Please consider these things above when dealing with LTA page creations (and also warnings for edits too). Thank you! — [[User:AP 499D25|<span style="background:#1F6295;color:white;padding:1q 5q;border-radius:10q;font-family:Franklin Gothic, Verdana">AP 499D25</span>]] [[User talk:AP 499D25|<span style="color:#1A527D">(talk)</span>]] 00:20, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
:Also, please don't blank the entire message, it's an extra step to find the IP to block. You can just blank all but the signature, then we can use the signature to quickly block.

::@[[User:AP 499D25|AP 499D25]] @[[User:Acroterion|Acroterion]] Thanks for the info. I generally use Twinkle to mark speedy deletions and the G10, but that option blanks the whole page. Sorry about that. I'll only mark it as G5 next time. Thank you again! [[User:NoobThreePointOh|NoobThreePointOh]] ([[User talk:NoobThreePointOh#top|talk]]) 01:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, just stop reverting. There is NOTHING to be gained from reverting. Report it and move on: he's just getting a hard-on from the attention. [[User:Untamed1910]], you too. Just stop. You're just making more work for the cleaning crew. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 22:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
