A small request[edit]
I request you to please change the color of the template Template:Cook Islands Party. The heading as well as group names are not at all visible. Atleast, please change the color of the texts heading and groups. I think this will violate MOS:COLOR (not sure). Adithyak1997 (talk) 12:10, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- I didn't do that, but I've tried changing it to a lighter shade of green on their logo. You can edit it directly at Template:Cook Islands Party/meta/color --IdiotSavant (talk) 12:31, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

August 2020[edit]
Hi IdiotSavant! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Michel Tuffery that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. addition of non-superficial changes marked as minor Graywalls (talk) 08:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Samoan politicians[edit]
Hello. Thanks for all your work on creating Samoan politicians' bios. I was just thinking – when you fix the links on the various Lists of members of the Legislative Assembly of Samoa (like this), rather than piping the existing links to a different name, would it not be better to just fix the link and display it as the article title is? (except in cases where people's titles change – I've never come across a country so complicated in trying to follow politicians' careers...). Cheers, Number 57 13:07, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
Polynesia?[edit]
Hi - is there any closer WikiProject for documenting tiki culture? I know it isn't truly Polynesian culture, but it's a best-fit scenario, no? ɱ (talk) 21:50, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- The tiki culture article is under that WikiProject, so are we going to remove that as well? ɱ (talk) 21:51, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Its not a best fit, which is why I've been gradually culling them out. WikiProject Polynesia is about Polynesia and Polynesian culture, not parodies of it. I'd suggest Wikipedia:WikiProject United States, where it originated.--IdiotSavant (talk) 00:28, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Having poked around: bars, cocktails, mixology and so on are in-scope for Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink. It used to have a specific bartending task force, but that's now defunct.--IdiotSavant (talk) 00:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
