(see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPA">WP:NPA</a>) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DIFF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DIFF">diffs</a> in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. Also, if you sign your post (by typing four tildes - ~~~~ - at the end of your message), I will respond faster, and I will tend to be in a better mood, because unsigned comments are one of my pet peeves. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add <code>{{unblock|reason}}</code> to your talk page. (replace reason with why you think you should not be blocked.) I <a href="/wiki/Help:Watching_pages" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Watching pages">watch</a> the talk pages of everyone I block, so I will almost definitely see you make your request. If I am making edits (check <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Doug_Weller" title="Special:Contributions/Doug Weller">Special:Contributions/Doug Weller</a>) and I do not answer your request soon, or you cannot edit your talk page for some reason, you can try <a href="/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Doug_Weller" title="Special:EmailUser/Doug Weller">sending me an email</a>. Please note, however, that I rarely check my email more than a few times a day, so it may be a couple of hours before I respond. <big>Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future.</big> </td></tr></tbody></table> </div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style"

Chemo held the cancer back and my Oncologist is very pleased. He says I look very well and that the cancers are still very small. So I'll have some time off and then back on chemo. Blood tests every 2 months to check. His guess was that my prognosis is the same as last year, another 18 months is quite possible. Who knows, if things go well, maybe more. In any case I'll see 82, Christmas, and the inauguration of the next American president - two pleasant things at least! <a href="/wiki/User:Doug_Weller" title="User:Doug Weller">Doug Weller</a> <a class="mw-selflink selflink">talk</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#c-Doug_Weller-20240307164300-Chemo_successful!" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>] <ul><li>Very happy news!

Starting a different chemo, one I had between my 2 ops in 2022. Nasty stuff, weakens me a lot, hurts fingers', no cold drinks or food, pills dangerous to touch, takes quite a while to recover after the 3 months. Luckily I've got my diary from that time. Should have started last week but had to postpone as I need dental work which I can't have during chemo so getting it on the 4th of July, hopefully a good omen for this American!

You don't have to drink the whole bottle of <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://costcowineblog.com/2016-ozv-zinfandel-lodi/">OZV Zinfandel</a> in one sitting, but do enjoy the finer things in life.

I am deeply moved by your references to your wife. As many of us will know from experience, it is what we manage to say to each other, brightly under strain, in reviewing a shared past, that tasks our minds in such terrible situations. I am assured that in planning for what future remains (the months and years will be, ineludibly, seamed with an elegiac tone of finality), you will work to ensure that your spouse will have many more memories to add to those of your rich life together as you also find time, with your characteristic donative generosity, to patch with further quilts of tender recall the hard ledges of survival for the other victim here who will, prospectively, grasp for them if or when they find themselves forced to endure the icy rockface of widowhood.</li></ul> <dl><dd>Before posting this, I took a Persian nap (Herodotus), worried it might sound intolerably pompous, intrusive and rhetorical, rather than spontaneous.

My heart is heavy with the fact you are still suffering so much through pain in your body but I am inspired by your journey at the same time. Your courage, your strength, your tenacity are all indescribable. Your Song is such a beautiful melody and I believe there are lyrics yet to be written that will have such a lasting legacy and be inspirational to so many. That may be a Wikipedia article or perhaps your wisdom passed on to listening ears desiring to grasp on to the depth of knowledge you have accumulated throughout your life. One thing is certain. You have made a lasting impact and you continue to do so with every breath taken. My hope, my morning songs are for many more days of impact here with us. You are incredible as an editor and an amazing human being. You are an integral part of my daily thoughts. I am beyond honored to know you in even this limited capacity. I count it such a blessing to have even the smallest interaction with you. May my words be an encouragement to you like so many others mentioned here and may you find strength to continue "soldiering on" as you put it. I call it the Color Green, surviving, yes, but finding a way to thrive despite the circumstances. Take that and let it feed life into your Song. May the Color Green fill and flood you, my friend. --<a href="/wiki/User:ARoseWolf" title="User:ARoseWolf">ARose</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:ARoseWolf" title="User talk:ARoseWolf">Wolf</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#c-ARoseWolf-20230130155300-Joe_Roe-20230127064500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:53, 30 January 2023 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Doug, I have some experience of what you are going through.

I was hoping you would beat it, but illnesses are not privy to the hopes and wishes of humans from either near or afar. To carry on with equanimity and honesty in the face of life's exigencies is all we can hope for. That you seem to be doing not just with those qualities, but also creatively. All too often an off-handed mention of "real life," and usually just "RL," constitutes the sum total of our humanity we allow others to peek into on Wikipedia. All too often editors whose edits have given us a convincing, even inspiring, picture of the living breathing and feeling individuals they are, disappear anonymously from our presence. So, you have already bucked the trend. As an all too mortal human myself, I will look forward to reading whatever aspects of your journey you choose to share with us. As you must know, I have looked forward to your timely interventions on various archaeology or history-related pages on Wikipedia. You may not know that I have silently noted the pithy, no frills, language that has accompanied your interventions. For both, I offer my thanks and my admiration. <a href="/wiki/User:Fowler%26fowler" title="User:Fowler&fowler">Fowler&fowler</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Fowler%26fowler" title="User talk:Fowler&fowler">«Talk»</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#c-Fowler&fowler-20230216155400-Joe_Roe-20230127064500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Hello Doug, I am very sorry to hear this news.

You were one of the first admins I ever ran into on here, and an absolute paragon of what an admin should be. How much you care about this site and the time you've spent on it, has been an absolute blessing. And nothing can ever take that away from you. I am so honored to have been able to see you do that work, and hope many of us around here are able to take it forward. When I see a page that you were "watching over" (e.g. the only person (or one of few) responding to POV edit requests, keeping the article in good condition, etc.) I've been adding it to my watchlist. I hope others will do the same. I'm also so blown away by the poise and grace you're showing here, and in this announcement. Nothing about this is easy, I cannot even imagine how hard it is to think about or to write. And I just hope I can even approach that level of peace or grace if I get this sort of news. Thank you for everything you do around here, and thank you for continuing to be just an all around good guy. — <a href="/wiki/User:Shibbolethink" title="User:Shibbolethink">Shibbolethink</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Shibbolethink" title="User talk:Shibbolethink">♔</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Shibbolethink" title="Special:Contributions/Shibbolethink">♕</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#c-Shibbolethink-20230221154600-Joe_Roe-20230127064500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:46, 21 February 2023 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Doug, I am so saddened to read this.

Doug, I too noticed your excellent work on WP long before I finally created my account. Traces of your contributions seemed to be everywhere. At a moment when I had more time to dedicate to WP and finally heeded the recommendation of another editor to create an account, I think that you were the first administrator I visited to announce it. I'm less active here these days, but will never forget the joy of participating a bit with you on this project. Several comments above express better whatever more I could say. I'll still emphasise a point several of them make, about the importance of quality living, and the thanks for all that you've done here. I'm also glad that you allowed us the opportunity to share this: unfortunately there are editors I only could thank after they were gone. You're also one of those I sometimes check for recent activity and it's always a "yay" moment to see recent contributions. —<a href="/wiki/User:PaleoNeonate" title="User:PaleoNeonate">Paleo</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:PaleoNeonate" title="User talk:PaleoNeonate">Neonate</a> – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Doug_Weller#c-PaleoNeonate-20230524130300-Joe_Roe-20230127064500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:03, 24 May 2023 (UTC)</a>[<a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a>]</li> <li>Just learned, incredibly sorry to hear this.

He has made massive contributions over the years, especially as an administrator, helping to make Wikipedia a more trustworthy source by rooting out misinformation and vandalism. We will never be able to measure the strife he has saved us from, because one never notices the strife which never occurs.

Seems although the growth isn't much it's concerning. Offered choice between nothing for a few months to give me a better quality of life or chemo soon, the type I had first which causes neuropathy so no cold drinks, ice cream, handling all the frozen food that fills our freezers, etc. Also probably make me weary so I should spend less time on treadmill and last time the last treatment (there are 4, 1 every 3 weeks + steroid pills, knocked me out for a while. I've opted for chemo, bad as it is, just hoping it might add a few more months! Luckily I've got my diary from then which might help me. I'm feeling great right now, stronger than for a long time.

You stayed with us and made yourself not only useful, but also a meaningful example to others. You didn't just "go away" as some of our fellows must needs do. You seized the day. We have never met, Doug Weller, but you have changed my life for the better, through your many continued and fine contributions to the pedia, especially these to your talk page in the last year.

I don't eat bacon anymore, but I remember loving this buffalo mozzarella, bacon, avocado, and lettuce on some kind of toasted freshly made bread. Had it at some fancy restaurant in Boston ages ago. Blew my mind. Then there was the "Tempeh Tantrum" at a vegetarian place in Raleigh -- marinated tempeh, pesto mayo, [fake] bacon, avocado, and lettuce on sourdough. Didn't even know what tempeh was the first time I ordered it. Both restaurants have long-since closed.
