Deleting redirects

Hi. I noticed that you blanked a bunch of pages that were redirects to Traverse City. That's not the way to delete redirects - you have to take them to WP:RFD. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 12:53, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was just removing them from the redirect page. I must've used the wrong terms. Oh well. Babelball (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Half Barnstar
	Thank you for your edits on Traverse City, Michigan. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:12, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I never replied, I didn't know what this was when you sent it to me, and I forgot to check. Thank you!

DISPLAYTITLE

I noticed that you tried to style your userpage's title using WP:DISPLAYTITLE. Apart from the syntax error, please note that the namespace ("User:") is part of the page title, and cannot be left out. This should work:

{{DISPLAYTITLE:<span style="background color:#BDB5D5;color:#ACE1AF">User:</span><span>'''''Babelball'''''</span>}}

Happy editing! Paradoctor (talk) 01:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that makes relative sense. Thanks! Babelball (talk) 10:13, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Birthday!

Hungry? Here's a little snack for you on your birthday, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day, Babelball! --Randompersonediting (✍️•📚) 03:26, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
