Greetings Chubbles! Good to see that you're still active! I spotted an old edit of yours over at James "Plunky" Branch and thought I'd bring up something that's been nagging me since I read an obituary for Ben Branch some years ago which stated that he had a son called James. I don't want to bring this (original research) up over at the respective talk pages, but do you have any insight to offer on this? Cheers! Technopat (talk) 13:34, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's the same James. Ben Branch died in 1987, and this obituary makes no mention of Plunky's music career, but by that time Plunky had more than fifteen years in as a professional bandleader; I'd expect them to mention that ('his son carries on the family tradition' or some such).

I just had the awful feeling that I had already asked you the very same question some years back... if that is the case, sorry for bothering you! --Technopat (talk) 12:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've started an RfC about the guidance at MOS:ALBUMS for alternative and bonus tracks. I've notified you because you've participated in a past discussion of the issue.

A reminder that if you create a duplicate (like Terrell Stafford) and spot the problem (see this edit) you can can boldly merge it; no-one will complain. If you do think that a merge is warranted, and place the tags rather than being bold, remember Step 1: Create a discussion. I've done the merge ... Klbrain (talk) 17:54, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand why you commented here with a line like "the position defended by the two major commenters here is not winning the day" - was it gleeful? Are we in some kind of a race? Competition on who can win the day? I've been logged in for 17 years to improve the project best I can, certainly not to try to win any day. As far as Ms Olsson is concerned, I've said what I have to say. Do what you please with it! I've seen no improvement suggested, only people getting together to support each other's rule-riding and interpretations and to determine who's right or wrong. To me, that's not why we're here. SergeWoodzing (talk) 02:30, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was an attempt at an unheated notification, to the two most interested parties, that the discussion at MOSBIO did not support the outcome that the two of you took to be self-evident. The attempt failed, alas. I do see a change to nationality in the lede being an improvement, so on that point we differ, as well. I think anything else I have to say on the matter has been said or will be said in the existing talk threads. Chubbles (talk) 18:07, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was a snide, inappropriate wording, for which I gave you a good opportunity to apologize. Not interested. Maybe I should have talked to you with like comments? Now, I'm sure you are gleeful that your dogged campaign for so long, and with so many words and repetitions, has succeeded in making light of the original citizenship Olsson had and her birthright, which she is proud of and has been intervewed about in Swedish several times. She calls her visits going home. In her widowhood, I assume she'll see what you did and be sad about it. But, by all means, congratulations to the glorious Victor! You won! You won! Now, do something useful, non-competetive and important. SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:00, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
