- Please leave a new message at the bottom of the page. I will reply here, so do watchlist this page. Please do not email me regarding Wikipedia matters.
- Please do not address me using warning templates; these are optimised for new users and I don't appreciate being patronised when I have, under various aliases, been editing here since 22 May 2008 (and using this one since 7 March 2013). You may trout me instead. Any other templates are fine to use.
- Most discussion boards - AfD, ANI etc. - require that you notify me of any discussion I should be aware of - DON'T bother. Tag me with {{u|Launchballer}} on the page instead. I am aware that with some noticeboards it is considered bad practice to not do so, however please take this as me opting out. (Update January 2023; it appears we now have bots to do this instead so doubly don't bother.)
- I divide archives by year and then by every 100 posts. Any posts that require attention may be edited; do ping.

Your Liam Payne question
[edit]Jolielover, I saw that you brought Louis Tomlinson to GA. I tried to bring Liam Payne's posthumous TV series Building the Band to DYK (nom), but it was rejected. At some point I plan on bringing it back as a triple nom with 3Quency and User:Artscontribute/sandbox/Brianna Mazzola; do you plan on bringing Payne to GA at any point so I can run it as a quadruple?
- Responding here since I don't want the DYK nom to be crowded with off-topic discussion, thanks for letting me know! I've thought of it, but I'm not too sure. I could definitely try getting Liam Payne to GA, but no promises there. I was actually a Louis Tomlinson fan, never a 1D fan, though I did improve that page too in extension to Louis's - but Liam's death did bring me an interest in him, too. I also want to add that it took 10 months to get Louis a review, so no promises it'll even squeeze into the 7-day window with the 3 other hooks! If I do take it to GA, I will let you know :) btw, thanks for your nice work in DYKs, you're a very familiar face! jolielover♥talk 14:54, 16 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Jolielover: No worries. WP:GARC is what I use if I want something promoted in a hurry. Also I'm reasonably familiar with the content given I tried to nominate his death, so I could just review it myself.--Launchballer 15:03, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Hey Launchballer, just poking through the older DYKs and I see you've been pinged twice over the past two weeks to Template:Did you know nominations/Cūḷāmaṇi Cetiya. Rather than ping you again, I figured I'd nudge you here. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:45, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Premeditated Chaos: Apologies, I kept looking at that and not knowing how to respond. I'll take a look now. I may need your help at some point regarding I'm Only F**king Myself, who I was hoping to run in a set you've just queued.--Launchballer 05:53, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Discography sourcing question for Piper Rockelle Page
[edit]I added a section-level additional sources tag to the discography because it currently appears to rely solely on Apple Music, which is a primary source. You reverted this as “already fully sourced,” so I wanted to check whether there are independent secondary sources verifying the discography that I may have missed. Waypoint47 (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Waypoint47: Discography entries need neither independent sources nor secondary sources per WP:VENDOR. You only need those if you want to mention them in prose.--Launchballer 23:48, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
