• keep. Exactly what benefit do you see will be accrued from deletion here? Thryduulf (talk) 12:23, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
• Delete. Meaningless, useless, worthless. In a word, junk. Don't encourage junk. — Scott • talk 12:59, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
• Keep. Calling a redirect names is inadequate rationale for deletion. This is not a "really harmful" redirect. There is nothing here that supports deletion. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 21:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
• Keep - even if they haven't been a while, productive users should be given a lot of freedom to play around with their userspace as long as it isn't harmful. Harshly treating encyclopaedia-building users for no gain will discourage participation and make the atmoshpere here more hostile, a huge detriment to the project. WilyD 09:32, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Nice red herring, but nobody is proposing treating encyclopedia-building users harshly. Spe88 gave up on this project in April 2007 and thus is not an encyclopedia-building user by definition. We are not obliged to maintain every shred of abandoned meaningless clutter (no incoming links, exactly zero prospect of ever getting any) created by long-gone users experimenting. — Scott • talk 14:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Neither you nor I know when or if they'll return to the project. That they may not return is not a good reason for us to be dicks to them when it is of zero benefit to the encyclopaedic building project. That you feel the need to other them to justify gross mistreatment of them is telling. WilyD 15:47, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

LOL. That is all. — Scott • talk 17:45, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Scott, please treat other contributors with respect even if you disagree with them. WilyD is entirely correct that we don't know whether a user is coming back or not, and that it is an entirely inappropriate to treat them as somehow inferior because of that. The user was apparently in good standing when they left and so remains in good standing unless and until they return and actively engage in behaviour that changes that status. Thryduulf (talk) 18:17, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

WilyD's comment is quite possibly the most laughable thing I've ever read in a Wikipedia discussion, and I've been here a long time. It's not right; it's not even wrong. This business about "inferiority" and "standing" is entirely in your own mind, by the way, and is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand. Which, as it appears to be necessary to return to the point, is the point of maintaining useless junk in our database for the benefit of an imaginary person - Spe88's ghost. Not Spe88; Spe88 is gone, gone, gone. Anyone with the slightest shred of common sense is able to see that, but WilyD apparently swapped his for a tendency to engage in histrionic rhetoric. — Scott • talk 21:50, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

What part of "treat other users with respect" and "assume good faith" do you not understand? Additionally, please show evidence of the harm caused by this redirect, evidence for your assertion that Spe88 is imaginary, and evidence for your assertions that WilyD has no common sense and is engaging in histrionic rhetoric. You should not need to be reminded that WP:No personal attacks is a policy that applies to everybody. Thryduulf (talk) 00:50, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. (Disclosure: I saw this discussion mentioned off-site.) I can't see how this redirect is useful to anyone. If by any chance the user should return, it is a matter of 2 minutes for them to recreate it. We shouldn't keep lots of redirects lying around that are of no use to anyone. It's just good housekeeping. Andreas JN466 23:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Good housekeeping implies there is benefit from the activity. Please can you explain what the benefit actually is as nobody above has yet done so. Thryduulf (talk) 08:37, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
    • Let's note first of all that the "activity" requires an infinitesimal amount of work, and that deletion has no discernible downside whatsoever. Thus even a small benefit results in a positive cost/benefit ratio. So here are some of the potential benefits of deletion: (1) The "What links here" page for the main page will be less cluttered, ensuring that the pages shown there might actually be of interest to an editor checking the "What links here", and that such an editor will not have to sift through detritus to find what is of interest. (2) The redirect is clearly not watched. It could at any time be used to redirect to anything whatsoever. As such it could be used for various types of vandalism and mischief. (3) Unused user space redirects like this one inflate project stats, adding noise to project data. (4) Imagine a user created several thousand useless redirects like this. It would impose additional overhead on the servers. Creating the impression that any useless page in user space is a legitimate use of Foundation resources is likely to encourage undesirable behaviour. (5) If an editor bothered to nominate the thing in good faith, to oppose deletion for no project benefit whatsoever seems pointy, and unlikely to increase enthusiasm for participation. I could understand if there was something worth fighting for here, but there is literally nothing. Andreas JN466 00:23, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
      • The "nothing" worth "fighting for" should never be about a contest, but about the consensus found in the policies and guidelines. The appropriate guideline for this type of redirect (beyond what we read at the top of the main RFD page) is found at WP:USERSPACE, which guides us that Template:Maroon There is no reason to go to the trouble it would take to delete this perfectly harmless redirect. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 16:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Delete Its a worthless CNR. Like Jayen466 said, there is literaly no reason to keep all these useless redirects that people dont use. Beerest 2 talk 19:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
• Weak Delete per Andreas, but without prejudice against Spe88 recreating it. Please leave a note to Spe88 in and closing statement and/or deletion summery that he's free to recreate this. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 04:01, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Weak delete, basically verbatim per EHC. --BDD (talk) 17:50, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
• Keep The redirect doesn't meet any of the criteria at WP:RFD#DELETE, and it may be useful to the user (even if they haven't edited, we don't have a policy of clearing out a retired user's userspace) and the user pages guideline says it's "acceptable".

laments of a new page patroller

Template:Archive top My Dearest Brunhilde,

I write to you now that I am finally settled in the mines of the New Pages Feed. My accommodations are humble, but sufficient here at the reviewer's village. The work is long, but we have been making good progress ever since we got through the cluster of lists about events that occurred to various branches of the Armed Forces of the United States of Central America (1821). The pay is abysmal and not worth mentioning. I miss you with all my heart, and cannot wait for the day that we are reunited.

Sincerely,

Arthur37 (talk) 23:17, 7 February 1876 (UTC) Template:Archive bottom
Template:Archive top My Dearest Brunhilde,

Things have become more difficult since I wrote you last. We were drilling deep into the bedrock of the Feed when suddenly a series of articles about individual startups in Serbia collapsed onto us. They each had exactly one source each that wasn't blatantly promotional, and we had to search in both Cyrillic and Latin. Three reviewers haven't been seen since, and the feed has grown a thousand pages in the meantime. We have been forced into double shifts to compensate. Despite all of these hardships, my love for you endures.

Sincerely,

Arthur37 (talk) 21:09, 10 March 1876 (UTC) Template:Archive bottom
Template:Archive top My Dearest Brunhilde,

I am afraid that this has been a difficult two months. Two reviewers got in a fight about something inconsequential at the village and ended up both getting slapped with temporary blocks. The work has piled on so high that it now takes me at least forty minutes just to clear my watchlist at the beginning of each day. Still, we approved a wonderful group of well-written articles about women who fought against slavery in the 1850s. It is bright moments like this that bring a shine to the otherwise dull life that I have had to lead since your father banished me to this place.

Sincerely,

Arthur37 (talk) 6:44, 11 May 1876 (UTC) Template:Archive bottom
Template:Archive top My Dearest Brunhilde,

Forgive me for being so long since your last missive, I assure that I have read and treasure every one of them. These months have been terrible. Some idiot kept swapping the content of articles about North Africa with nostalgic articles about the Roman Empire and the Mussolini era before accusing everyone of being Italianophobic and Maltese on the talk page. Then I had to spend weeks cleaning up in the AfD because an editor kept sending sockpuppets to delete discussion pages for articles they started. Rations have been cut and several reviewers appear to have caught scurvy. The backlog is piling up so high that some of the editors have confessed that they haven't always searched for coverage in languages other than English before applying PROD. Your love is my only light in these darkest caverns.

• Lest anyone get the wrong idea, it's true I'm the top contributor to ANI in the last X months, measured by number of edits. But I rush to point out that fully 40% of my edits are using OneClick to archive old threads. The actual top busybody here is Beyond My Ken. He's got almost as many edits as I do, and 0% of them are OneClick. EEng 02:15, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

• It's even worse when you look at all my edits to this page overall, including my previous two accounts [3]. Of course, even 8921 edits (this one makes 8922 8923 8924 8925) is only 4% of my total of 218,686 edits (now 281,687 281,688 281,689 281,670) -- almost all of them made by hand, with no automation or semi-automation. Of course, I estimate that I make about 2-3 copyedits to each AN/I comment after I post it, so it's actually something like 1% to 1.4% of my total edits. Looked at in this way, I believe there are many editors whose edits to this page make up a much more sizable portion of their overall edits. Take the editor (naming no names, and not an admin, but a name that would be recognized by old-timers here) whose 2855 edits to AN/I made up 14% of their 24,450 overall edits.Template:ParabrSo... am I a busybody?

I'm growing increasingly wary of Wikipedia nowadays. What happened to Wikipedia's supposed neutrality? There is a clear leftist bias in this article. There was no "attack" on the Capitol building. It was a protest. This article very clearly tries to skew the reader's opinions against them and tries to make it seem like it was an attempted coup, insurrection, attack, etc. It was not any of those things. Most of the sources are left-leaning. There is an extreme lack of balanced reporting in this article, with DJT's quotes being very obviously cherrypicked. And they have the audacity to lock it in this state over "vandalism"? This article makes many bold claims like how the supposed rioters assaulted police and vandalised buildings or that it was caused by far-right extremism, and that the purpose of the protest was to start a coup d'etat. Citation desperately needed. Meanwhile the BLM articles don't even mention the countless looting, arson, rioting, and murders done in their name.

torture chambers

Ahem. If a person does not want their bio printed at all, then whatever you do to it, and no matter how you mess with it, you cannot be acting with the highest standards of love and respect for the dignity of others. In that case, these standards ("verifiable" writing, and love) are simply incompatable, even if you wish otherwise. At best, you may simply be an enabler or co-violator, who acts to mitigate the invasion of privacy, by acting to decrease the outrage. But that doesn't count if you give your assent to the whole process. Giving a drink in a torture chamber doesn't make you a saint if you assent to torture chambers. Being kind to a person in prison doesn't count if you assent to the imprisonment of a person who doesn't deserve to be there at all. If you've got two burglars in a house arguing over whether or not to steal just cash, but not an antique ring which might cause the owner some extra anguish, and one burglar starts talking about "standards of love and respect for the dignity of others," then you know somebody is mightily confused. People who care about love and respect for others don't violate their houses AT ALL. Nada. They don't engage in legalistic niceties about what's kosher to steal and what isn't. I hope that's enough metaphors for the day and that the point comes across. SBHarris 20:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I think you mean it's more like HITLER - David Gerard 12:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the point seems to come across -- we should forget about being an encyclopedia, since an encyclopedia is really, really similar to a torture chamber, and repurpose ourselves as a press release service, since "the highest standards of love and respect for the dignity of others" means saying whatever they want us to say (even if what they want us to say is something akin to "each and every one of my alleged victims is a publicity-seeking liar", which does not show much love and respect for said victims who are now being publicly accused of wrongdoing.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

This is indeed a fascinating exchange. On one side we see a person with a vision in which human diginity plays an important role (and that IMO, is the reason why may of us dedicate so many hours of our time, effort, and yes, love) and on the other side a person that views this project as a torture chamber, as if that was a 'good thing. I am very glad that the latter is not the modus operandi of this project, and that the vision of the founder is one that appreciates human dignity and respect, while maintaining the core of our mission to create a free source of human knowledge. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 17:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

That does sound like a fascinating exchange, Jossi. Can you tell me where on this page you'd find that exchange? I've looked all over for it, and I can't find a single exchange where anyone expresses the view you attribute to "the other side". Can you please tell me where I would find this fascinating exchange? -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Antaeus, but your logic, argumentation style, sarcasm, etc, escapes me completely. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 04:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

That's the understatement of the year, if you somehow read "we should forget about being an encyclopedia, since an encyclopedia is really, really similar to a torture chamber", with or without irony, as "on the other side a person ... views this project as a torture chamber, as if that was a good thing." I mean, really. Even if you manage to miss the irony, it doesn't come out as support for torture chambers or anything like them, and I surely would like to know how you came out with such a complete misreading. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow. I see that metaphors do not work. Torture, and aggressive actions with bother people and invade their privacy, are bad things. Wikipedia does not have to be bound to print lies in a bio. There is an intermediate state where people should be able to choose EITHER between having a bio (in which case it is fair game subject to WP:V and BLP and so on), or not having one AT ALL. Being the target of a bio on your life which you don't want here, is a bad thing. Many people arguing that this kind of thing should continue (for OTHERS), cannot seem to imagine themselves in the position of being the target of an unwanted bio on Wikipedia. Why is that? It continues to mystify me. Is it that they never expect to do a notable thing in their entire lives? Is it that they hate people who do do notable things so much, that they don't care about their privacy? What's going on, here? Wikia founder Angela Beesley, who now wants her bio deleted, and cannot get it done, does not seem to have been able to envision her current curcumstance, before the fact. Why not? I don't know.

Jimbo evidently doesn't like his own bio, and has diddled with it in ways which the average wikipedian cannot (this has all been admitted and appoligized for, by Jimbo). And yet Jimbo continues a policy which caused and causes HIM pain, and which he has every reason to think would cause the average bio target even MORE pain than he got, since they don't have the POWER on Wikipedia that Jimbo does; and YET Jimbo does this, while speaking of treating other people with love and respect. Again, this is a mystery to me, and I could use explanation. Jimbo? You didn't like it when it was done to you, and yet you're in a better position than everybody else is, to mitigate what this process does to its targets. You KNOW it's bound to hurt others more than you. So what gives? SBHarris 19:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

SB, you're violating WP:AGF here and I daresay WP:CIVIL too, suggesting that maybe people who don't agree with you "hate people who do do notable things so much, that they don't care about their privacy". Your torture chamber analogy didn't work because it was a bad analogy. Torture is a bad thing, so bad that (at least according to most civilized people) it should never be committed. Can the same be said of negative press? No -- frequently people deserve their negative press (such as, oh, someone who committed actual torture?) Yet it is on the basis of this bad analogy that you suggest that, unlike any other encyclopedia on the planet, people should be able to opt out of having a biography in this one. Why? You say "I see that metaphors do not work." No, they don't -- at least not the kind you have presented, which imply that anyone who doesn't support your proposed radical change to policy might as well be condoning torture, while your proposed change would protect actual torturers. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, that's a good game. I can play! Note that for you to suggest that there exists any such thing as an "actual torturer," violates WP:AGF by your above-suggested standards. I mean, who are you to question the motives of testicle-shockers or water-boarders? Or to suggest that they are less than pure, and not of the highest caliber? Assume good faith, my man. Some of these people historically have been worried about the destination of the immortal souls of their subjects. Some have been worried about national security and fighting terrorism. These arguments have even been made by the Bush administration. Which you must assume is acting in good faith, or else risk violating WP:CIVIL. That is, if WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL were actually designed to protect nebulous groups defined by their behavior from any criticism thereof, on Wikipedia. Which they weren't.

As for the rest of what you say, other encylopedias before now have been protected by space limitations from biographizing only the very most notable of living people--- people who have in nearly all instances sought notability, or who acted in ways in which notability would be a foreseen consequence. Even so, shorter enclycopedias play with fire. When persons of lesser notability are profiled by newspapers (as for obituaries) or by publications (Who's Who) they are given the kind of editorial control not seen here on Wikipedia. The NY Times even famously is courteous enough to send notable men their own obituaries years in advance, for editing. Wikipedia however, is large enough to be qualitatively a very different thing-- its size resulting in notability creap, which I have noted and don't want to repeat myself about. However, it's a real effect and not to be triffled with, since a personal bio is coming to a place near you. Why have you been so careful to protect your own personal information here on Wikipedia, if you don't want to extend this courtesy to others? Inquiring minds want to know. Perhaps you've been out there fighting injustice with such vigor, that evil people are after you? Golly, me too. :). It's a common problem, don't you know. Wiki bios don't help. SBHarris 21:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

"Adolf Hitler is the Chancellor of Germany. He is noted for his work on the moral fibre of German society and stimulating the economy, notably through the Autobahn programme. Some have criticised aspects of his work." - entry written after Hitler's complaint and a rigid WP:OFFICE application of WP:BLP - David Gerard 21:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, that's exactly how the George W. Bush entry reads. Without any personal

complaint by Mr. Bush. 24.59.105.229 12:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Wonderful demo of Godwin's law in action here. I can only note that for every Hitler we miss the chance to "bio", while he lives, there are a lot other less notable and fairly ordinary people who don't get hurt. And the living Hitlers we miss, are bound to get their criticisms from other sources, if they're THAT famous. So we don't lose much. Wikipedia is hardly needed to help, in this regard. Wikibios are only really clearly morally justified in circumstances where they are superfluous anyway. SBHarris 22:00, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Uncyclopedia_Watch - David Gerard 23:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, SB. I am a bit puzzled what "game" you believe yourself to be "playing". Unless the name of it is "straw man", you don't seem to be playing it well. "Note that for you to suggest that there exists any such thing as an "actual torturer," violates WP:AGF by your above-suggested standards." If that's what you actually think, it only demonstrates that you don't comprehend the "above-suggested standards" that you nevertheless feel yourself competent to criticize. There is a difference between saying "yes, there are people in the world who have committed torture" and "If you Wikipedia editors don't agree with me that Wikipedia should do something that no other encyclopedia on the planet does, it means that you hate notable people." In fact, there is such a difference that the only question in doubt is whether there was ever any similarity. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

First of all, "torture" is a loaded word. It's like "pornography". One man's "torture" is another man's "interrogation pressure" or simple punishment or even re-education. It's hard to define. You may say you know it when you see it, but hey, that's what they say about porn also. But it's not Wikipedia's job to decide on who is a "torturer," or who's a pornographer for that matter (vs. purveyor of erotica). And while metaphors are compact ways of expressing thoughts, and are never perfect, I'm amused at the problems on this one. Who's to say whether people "deserve" their punishments, or their tortures, or their bad press, or their invasions of privacy? These things that happen to people are not all just alike, or equally evil, to be sure. But none of them are good, and all of them are ungood, even if the perpetrators have the best of intentions. Why don't we just avoid all of them, here on Wikpedia?

As for hatred of one group by another, I threw it out as a possibility. You know there is hatred in the world. Celebritites do get hated for merely being famous. Ask one. Celebrities also routinely are subjected to invasions of privacy which you or I would find appalling. Sometimes by people who don't hate them or have bad intentions. Hoards of souvenier-seeking tourists stipped all the bark off the trees in Jackie Kennedy's front yard, after she moved out of the White House. I'm sure they didn't hate her, but the effect was the same and due to things of this nature she had to follow many an American celeb and flee to Europe just as though the intent had been bad. Let us not make Wikipedia the same kind of influence, whether the intentions are good, or no. SBHarris 23:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

First of all, "torture" is a loaded word. Yes, it is. Pity you didn't take that into consideration before you started comparing Wikipedia to a torture chamber and anyone who didn't support your proposal to someone who condones torture chambers. Not that I think your proposal of "We should let anyone opt out of having a bio" had much to recommend it in the first place, but if those merits ever existed, they were masked by your own hyperbole. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:14, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

ONCE AGAIN, you don't have a bio up on Wikipedia. And you're very careful with your own personal information and your own privacy (on my own talk page you can find out exactly who I am, yet I wouldn't like a bio, either). Until this changes, you simply don't have enough experience to tell what's "hyperbole" here, and what isn't, and how much a metaphor holds in this area. An as anonymous editor discussing bio privacy invasion, you're sort of like a virgin discussing sexual techniques (hey, another metaphor; and not meant to be uncivil, merely humorously illustrative of the problems of inexperience and inexpertise). Let me know when get to the point that the public can show up at your door and look you up in the phonebook, AS THEY CAN ME.

BTW, I note that Angela Beesleys bio is nominated for deletion ONCE AGAIN (fifth time, now). Unless she's bothered in a major way by all this, her behavior is inexplicable. It's almost like this whole thing was some kind of torture for her. Silly me. SBHarris 17:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

i just felt the pressing need to write an essay

I remember that the last line of this work describes Gregor's younger sister after his death, who at the end of a train ride "got up and stretched her young body." This may seem icky, but I totally read that physical description as a kind of semi-incestuous sexual reference, as though Gregor's sister's youth is something he always coveted, and now that he is dead her youth is something that Kafka sardonically describes in the story's last line to indicate that she is still alive and beautiful, while Gregor is dead and hideous.

Tortured sexuality, thy name is Kafka!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kazimir Malevich, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 19:50, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Actually, edits like these will only result in a block. Mellk (talk) 19:59, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

“Kyiv” is the anglicized version of «Київ». Since Kyiv is a Ukrainian city, it’s only appropriate to use the anglicized version of the Ukrainian spelling. Albanialover (talk) 14:20, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your opinion, but the consensus was already established here: Talk:Kyiv/Archive 9#RfC: Kyiv/Kiev in other articles. You are not only changing the spelling but making other unsourced changes. So I suggest to stop continuing your disruptive behaviour after you've already been warned otherwise you risk getting blocked. If you are not familiar with WP policies, why not ask instead? Mellk (talk) 15:04, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Kazimir Malevich, you may be blocked from editing. Mellk (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Champ, you don’t decide how it’s spelled. It’s a Ukrainian city. It’s get spelled the Ukrainian way and the internationally recognized transliterated version. Please refrain from letting your emotions and biases get in the way of academic matters. I’m sorry if you feel “Kiev” is the correct term, but it’s not. Let me know if you need anything else! Albanialover (talk) 19:06, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, because the consensus determined this[4] as already clearly mentioned. And if you are unwilling to follow basic WP policies, then this is a simple case of WP:NOTHERE. But OK, it is already clear that there is no point in further explaining. Mellk (talk) 19:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Kazimir Malevich. Mellk (talk) 19:17, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

King, the consensus is wrong. You seem to be incredibly knowledgeable on Wikipedia. How would one go around changing the consensus? Albanialover (talk) 19:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

This was the outcome of requests for comment (RfC). As the article Kiev was moved to Kyiv in 2020 as a result of a move request there was disagreement on using "Kyiv" and "Kiev" on certain articles. So there is consensus to not change "Kiev" in historical topics (like the article Kazimir Malevich). The full details are there. And to note I did not participate in this RfC. For the consensus to change, in this case a discussion on talk:Kyiv, probably a RfC, but I highly doubt this would change. For example there were move requests for Kievan Rus' to Kyivan Rus' but they got closed early due to overwhelming opposition. Any other questions? Mellk (talk) 19:38, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

King, thank you for your answer. I will move to change the consensus. Now let’s say, theoretically, I were to revert the article and ignore the consensus. What would happen? (I’m going to revert the article) Albanialover (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

You will end up in the administrators' noticeboard where you will likely receive a block. Mellk (talk) 19:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

King, thank you for the answer. In regards to “ there is consensus to not change "Kiev" in historical topics” I feel changing the location of birth and residence doesn’t violate this. You wouldn’t call Alaska “ Alyaska” simply because it was historically Russian land. However I will leave the spelling in the education the same. Is this acceptable to you? Albanialover (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Education section* Albanialover (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I did not invent this so I am not sure why you are asking me this. But the consensus is clear:

• Template:Tq
• Template:Tq
• Template:Tq
• Template:Tq

So I would not suggest changing any of this, especially after you've been reverted and received warnings. There are no such exceptions listed. Mellk (talk) 20:02, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it’s clearly not historical. The spelling of Kyiv has no effect on relevance, and doesn't change the historical context at all. Albanialover (talk) 20:14, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

You can disagree with it all you want, but choosing to ignore it won't get you far. The general rule of thumb as it says there is after 1991/95 is current rather than historical. Mellk (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Champ, while I respect your opinion (I don't) It’s not being used in an historical context, so the rule doesn’t apply. Albanialover (talk) 20:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

It says Template:Tq. The topic of the article is historical. This is pretty clear. Otherwise all instances of "Kiev" would all have already been replaced. And WP:BRD should be followed anyway, so there is no valid reason to go back and reinstate your changes. Mellk (talk) 20:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

King, I hear you loud and clear! However, I don’t care. Albanialover (talk) 20:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

That's fine. I would suggest using the talk page to get input, otherwise you are looking at a block. Mellk (talk) 20:49, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

King, thank you for voicing your opinions. However, I’m right, and you’re wrong. We can’t all be winners! Albanialover (talk) 20:52, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I am sure you noticed that your last edits to the article were all reverted on the policy basis. If you continue, I will make sure that you can not edit the article anymore. You activity here in the last several months is a textbook example of WP:NOTHERE. Ymblanter (talk) 21:43, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

King, thank you for voicing your opinion. However, I am clearly intellectual superior to yourself, you simply are not able to understand my position properly. As the bigger person (both physically and mentally) I respectfully decline your warning, and will continue on my path of righteousness. Albanialover (talk) 01:37, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes it was the same terrorists -- the Afghans knowingly harbored them and took up arms in their defense, and by law (National Security Strategy Guidelines of the United States from 9/17/2001) that is the same as personally flying the jets into the Twin Towers! And that is why our invasion of them was a positive good for civilization and was an act of justice, and the question of "who invaded who" is irrelevant to this discussion -- and what's more, per these same Guidelines, to even raise this question is in itself an act of terrorism and is the same as personally flying the jets into the Twin Towers!

Block Appeal

Hi-

Request reason:

Hi- So it seems I have been blocked from editing on wikipedia which is sad because I was inspired by some of the best wikipedians I've seen which is what motivates me to edit wikipedia. Anyways, I have been banned for vandalism which I know is very wrong. Sometimes out of all the stuff you see you want to make it your own and be creative with it which can turn into a bad situation. I want whoever administrator reading this to realize what I say is to not put guilt on anyone for blocking me from editing. Other than that, I know why I was blocked from editing but only had gotten wind of it while wanting to edit the nation of "Conch Republic" to add the Conch Republic Pride Flag which is if you will, an ensign with the pride flag. I know it's off topic, my point is, sorry. Regards, Nolan MacLellan

Decline reason:

This doesn't give any indication that we would have any reason to think your behaviour would improve in the future, even if this appeal is not, itself, trolling us.

Unblock Request 2

Hi again-

Request reason:

Hello again, I myself Nolan MacLellan am writing to whoever mods are looking that of course once again I am sorry. I am very political as of now and I'm a strong Trump supporter. Besides that, here's the point. I believe I should be unbanned because I now know what I did wrong, and that even the best of us need a chuckle every now and then. Specially teenagers, that aren't brainwashed, need a chuckle.. now and then. The negativity will kill you, if you let it. Corny stuff.

Regards, Nolan Corny stuff, once again.

Decline reason:

You are blocked, not banned. I see no reason to lift the block here, as it doesn't sound like you take this project seriously, nor do you describe productive edits you wish to make. Your specific political views are immaterial.

Unblock Request 3

Request reason:

Hello, Once again. Unfortunately I haven't been unblocked yet, no problem though. But don't think that's rude towards you. Anyhow, To be honest I am eager to be unblocked because there is no other website like Wikipedia out there, other websites have the same info but not the same feeling or privileges of wikipedia. Personally I find it offensive that you say that I don't take this wikipedia project seriously. Having the privilege of editing does not mean that I have to edit at all. In simple terms meaning I should not have to specify what I will do as a wikipedian freely to edit on the wikipedia. I know what I did wrong and of course I only intent from forwards to make "productive" edits. Also sorry for saying banned- didn't realize. No place like wikipedia (corny stuff, but true.). Again, sorry. Regards, Nolan

Decline reason:

Given your vandalism so far, I have to agree with the others here. You are trolling.

Request reason:

Hello once again, I see many people think I am a troll which is not in fact true. 1, I made an article about the Tumbleweed Snowman of Albuquerque, NM. Anyways, I don't find it nice or funny that you're calling me a troll. Of course I know what I did wrong and I said sorry for that. As I said, I don't need to specify what I am going to do if I get unblocked, that doesn't mean I am going to vandalize again. This is because 1, I have made pages, and also this is only if that Woof guy comes here again- I didn't separate the two pages after you merged them that wasn't me. I don't know who it was. 2nd, of course I've gotten warnings about this but I only did it like twice so I'm not sure I didn't get 2-3 warnings. 3rd, I find it very disrespectful people are calling me a troll, and not being able to contribute to the Wikipedia Project. I have, Ive made pages, made decent edits, and did everything the average Wikipedia can. I am eager to get unblocked because I need to update something important on my home-town's wikipedia. All I want to do is have the privileges that everyone else has, and I know that others have gotten unblocked aswell in the same situation I am. Tio estas ĉiuj, dankon. Regards- Nolan

Decline reason:

If being called a troll gets under your skin enough for you to complain about it twice in this request, I'm not sure I wouldn't regret unblocking you. I think you need to calm down and show that you can edit other wikis productively for a while before coming back.

Unblock 4

Request reason:

Saluton, Wikipedia The request to unblock my voluntary editing on the website is one of the more proper ones you all anticipated and expected for from me. I want to take this opportunity to say that I am truly sorry for what I have done and that I am not in the least a troll. Anyway, I promise to always make quality contributions going forward and to behave honorably as a volunteer, just as I did when I first created my Wikipedia account. Although I am aware that my actions of vandalism were bad and that I should apologize, and did, the truth is that I just needed a good chuckle. I didn't anticipate that my actions would result in a permanent ban from editing as early as it happened, for the reason of that I happened not to see the warnings in time. One of the best websites that I've been on is Wikipedia, truly. Nothing else like it exists anywhere. Once again, I am sorry. Dankon popoloj. Nolan MacLellan

We at Wikipedia have no sense of humor we are aware of.

drunk rant

Dude ... forget it. Wikipedia has an -- unspoken ... and understood -- policy. We have to "white wash" certain information. You know, pretend it didn't happen. And, it goes without saying ... this policy usually points only in one direction. (Guess which?) So, nahhhhh ... this ain't a "raid". It's a "lawful execution of a search warrant". Just watch CNN ... or MSNBC ... or read The New York Times ... etc., etc., etc. Y'know ... the usual suspects. The very trust-worthy media ... that only reports very honestly, with great integrity, with great ethics, and with no political bias. Yeah, them! So no, this was not a raid. Don't be silly. Just like: (1) a boy is a girl ... or a girl is a boy ... or whatever they want us to believe ... with that (very logical) LGBTQ pronoun business. (2) There is no recession ... y'know ... the definition of recession that we've used for 100 years changed, conveniently, just this week! (3) Oh -- inflation ... we have nine percent inflation ... but Biden says it is "zero". Yes, zero! Our economy is doing great! Biden said so! (4) And this new bill will reduce inflation! Yes, "reduce it". How cool is that! We have zero inflation, but we need to reduce it?!?!??!?!? Hmmmmmmmmm........... wow. Confusing, huh? So, in summary, please trust that we have neutral narrative written in this article, with no bias whatsoever. Come on, dude. Assume good faith! Lots of integrity, ethics, and morals floating around here! Trust us!

I've developed since then and realise that the behaviour I'm seeing here from others is abhorrent, bullying and unhelpful. But thank you for demonstrating exactly the kind of behaviour that means you should take a looooooong break. Your behaviour here is not helpful at all, quite the opposite, and it's genuinely sad to see this dogpiling onto a good faith editor, just to punish him.

On 21 July 2021, two inmates at the Template:Interlanguage link near Tumbo took two correctional officers as hostages and demanded a helicopter to use for escaping and twenty kebab pizzas, one for each inmate in their department. After nine hours of negotiations, the release of the hostages was secured and the inmates were taken into custody. Although no helicopter was provided, the inmates did receive the twenty kebab pizzas. The pizzas were made by the pizza baker Beshar Toma of Hällby Pizzeria. Due to being in a hurry, the police left with the pizzas without paying. Both Hällby Pizzeria and the Swedish Prison and Probation Service later confirmed that the pizzeria was paid the next day.

You will never be a real Indo-European. You have no horse, you have no chariot, you have no yurt. You are a mutt living a farmer lifestyle twisted by coping and larping into a crude mockery of steppe’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your 50% EEF appearance behind closed doors.

Nomads and agriculturalists alike are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even steppe LARPers who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a nomad and an agriculturalist alike. Your lifestyle and skin, eye, and hair color are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to convince some drunk guy that you are indeed an Indo-European steppe nomad, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected delusional fantasies that you live through as a way to escape reality. You will never be an Indo-European. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you alone, without a horse, next to a farm with a headstone marked with letters that Indo-Europeans had no idea of, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know someone who was not a nomad is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably not Indo-European.

what follows may be the strangest interaction on this site

Winkelvi - I think you should respond to the accusations of socking, especially if you are innocent. If you don't defend yourself, it will be assumed that you are guilty which makes it doubtful the community will allow you to return...provided you even want to return. j/s ^Atsme _Talk 📧 15:37, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

[User:Atsme]: Even being completely truthful and saying it's not me, I'm pretty sure nothing I do at this point will mean squat. I recall being called a liar here numerous times, by regular editors and admins, when I wasn't lying, but being totally honest. I'm not wanted in Wikipedia, that's been plain since even before my indef, in addition to the subsequent denial of request to return, and now being "tried" and tagged as a sockmaster solely on circumstantial "behavioral" evidence by a relatively new editor and admin/CU with whom I've never interacted when I was editing. How anyone can believe they are knowledgeable of someone's behavior without ever experiencing that person's behavior is beyond my understanding and logic, but the result is what it is. Wikipedia as a mostly anonymous community has shown me it is unforgiving and the normal rules of the real world don't apply. Based on all that, I think trying to defend myself, drawing up a case, and being hopeful for a return to editing would be a complete waste of everyone's time and end only in disappointment for me.

I do thank you for caring, though. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 16:41, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring has been going on over the Rita Ora discography article for a long time. User:Helptottt, User:Jakubik.v and a newly created account (User:Swedishbrittisk), by possibly one of them with the clear purpose of edit-warring, are continually removing sourced content, without any plausible reasoning: [9][10][11][12][13][14] Despite various warnings given on their talkpages and attempts to find a solution on the talkpage, they are unable to understand this and unfortunately, they do not seem to like to communicate and help improve the article instead. Their behaviour show that they are intending to continue reverting repeatedly. User:Swedishbrittisk further calls to "keep reverting" me if I "keep on doing these senseless edits" [15]. However, they're endangering the article, which is currently being reviewed to pass the featured list nomination. Thanks in advance. Iaof2017 (talk) 15:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

The only user who is edit warring is yourself, and several editors pointed out the unnecessary changes with which you have damaged the article. Insinuating that I created a new account to revert your edits is insane. The article, before you started editing it, was already in a very good state, needing minimal changes. Like Black Kite highlighted, it's you who needs to explain all the wild changes you made to the article. You are behaving like you own the article, and use threatening and accusatory language against editors. How is this behavior not against the rules?! Helptottt (talk) 20:55, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Answer to your first question: Should be done sometime today assuming I'm not lazy. Answer to your second question: It's a template. Specifically User:Levi_OP/Discord Profile. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:09, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer, I’ll be looking forward to the signature! InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:51, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Lemme know when it’s done InfernaIBaze (talk) 00:53, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Also @Blaze Wolf how do you find these cool templates? It’s not like you just found the template in the template menu or anything InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Also,(again) Japanese test for you. こんにちは、ぼくのほんとのなまえは、のあです(I’m half Japanese, don’t question the horrendous grammar) InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Template:OdIn response to the Japanese test, all I can understand is the first part which is "Konnichiha" or "hello. Other than that I have no clue what the rest says. I'm still at a very basic level lol. Also, the way I found the cool template on my talk page was that I think I remember seeing it on someone else's userpage before it was a template and the guy (who I think is now inactive) made it into a template since I wanted it on my userpage as well. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:36, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh okay… I was hoping for some magic website that gave you the greatest templates or whatever. No big deal tho.(this is a joke) The full translation is, Hello, my name is Noah. Simple InfernaIBaze (talk) 02:52, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I am very sorry that I have to be like this. If you feel annoyed( and I know you do) you can stop helping me at any time. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:21, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

And even after that apology I feel intreged to ask. How Are you learning Japanese. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

I spelt that wrong I just know it. InfernaIBaze (talk) 03:25, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@InfernaIBaze: It's spelled intrigued and I'm learning it via multiple different ways. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 03:59, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

That’s cool! Good luck. InfernaIBaze (talk) 00:54, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh my god I just looked in your signature sandbox by accident (I was trying to find out if my username had 2 is or not and saw it so I had to, I’m sorry) And it looks so cool! Thanks a lot for the help in making it. InfernaIBaze (talk) 01:49, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Template:Hat This is literally not a genocide. Trans people aren't a minority ethnic group that is being killed systemically. This whole "trans genocide" term is disrespectful to those who were victims of real genocide. 78.135.101.108 (talk) 11:03, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

This is addressed in reliable sources (many of which explicitly argue for the expansion of the definition of genocide) and in the article itself. This page is for discussion of the article, not of your personal grievances with the topic. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/they)^{Talk to Me!} 21:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

The word "genocide" should be replaced with a word that actually fits considering the definition has yet to be changed. Perhaps it would be prudent to re-label the article as "Discrimination against Transgender People"? Genocide specifically deals with nationalities and ethnic groups, not gender. It feels like people are trying to just stick a buzzword in without a reason to. 2600:6C52:7E7F:F52F:C928:9DAD:B737:85F8 (talk) 05:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Yeah Thaddeus when you change the definition of a word - IT CHANGES THE DEFINITION OF THAT WORD.

So you use the new definition of the word while relying relying on readers to use the actual definition of the word.

It's It's sneaky slimy tactic I see more and more these days and apparently you aren't smart enough to see through it. 2001:8003:7CCB:A901:AD7E:5F5F:EC47:C80 (talk) 06:03, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Mentally ill dudes changing definitions of words, who would have thought. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.43.239.249 (talk) 16:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

There is no trans genocide going on anywhere on the planet. This page is incredibly disrespectful and is based on the fantasies of mentally ill people on Twitter. 81.96.202.32 (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

If there’s a reliable source that argues this (trans g) is not a genocide, or that it’s disrespectful to other victims, that source and its main points can be put in the article ProfGray (talk) 12:20, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

It looks like there is already a word that describes what this article is attempting to call genocide. How about Transgendercide? There doesn't appear to be a rational reason to expand the definition of genocide. A quick look at the Oxford dictionary shows that the word has greek origins, genos + cide, with 'genos' literally meaning race and the suffix '-cide' denoting an act of killing. I attached a link to a wikipedia page on Gendercide, which seems to fit this article perfectly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gendercide 2600:6C52:7E7F:F52F:C928:9DAD:B737:85F8 (talk) 06:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Are you arguing that there was never a genocide of jewish people in World War 2 because being Jewish is not a race but a religion? also being transgender is not a gender, there are both transgender men, transgender women and transgender non-binaries thus it don't exactly fit the gendercide definition as it wouldn't target a single gender. Some happenstances of gendercide could have transphobic motivations and thus fit within the scope of transgender genocide, but certainly not all of them. 88.141.158.167 (talk) 07:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Jews are an ethnoreligious group, as stated in the first line of their wikipedia entry. This is why the term 'genocide' applied to the Holocaust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews

Transgender people are not a race, a nationality, or an ethnic group. They are identified by being gender non-conforming. As such, the word Gendercide is much more fitting than the word genocide. Discrimination against them is specifically due to gender nonconformance.

If you would like to argue that Transgender people are somehow a race, a nationality, or an ethnic group, then that should be included in this wikipedia entry to justify the use of 'genocide'. As of right now, it just looks like the wrong word is being deliberately used for nebulous reasons. 2600:6C52:7E7F:F52F:C928:9DAD:B737:85F8 (talk) 15:17, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

If there’s a reliable source that argues your point, then that point can be added to the encyclopedia.

If you are trying to better understand the application of the concept of genocide to transgender people, I suggest you start with the Kidd/Wittern, Kritz, and Eichert sources in the article. ProfGray (talk) 15:38, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

As stated in their own works, they admit that the definition of genocide needs to be expanded for what they personally as activists consider to be a genocide. The word Gendercide already exists to describe what they've observed. You can't prove a negative, so asking for a source repeatedly is incredibly bad faith. This is a simple case of blatant misuse of a word, conceivably to score political points. 2600:6C52:7E7F:F52F:C928:9DAD:B737:85F8 (talk) 15:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, some admit that the legal defintion would need to be expanded: for that context, the article is about their proposed application of genocide. But some folks do not think they need to wait for a legal determination or expansion, they are applying the concept without confirmation of the law, because the use of concepts and discourse are not actually bound by or enforced by law. There's no law against using a concept like genocide in various realms of discourse, and that's what the reliable sources here are doing. I suppose I need not repeat my point about the ability to bring up reliable sources that dispute this usage, but it's important for readers (of my comments) to understand how Wikipedia functions and is written. You may think they are misusing a word, the question is whether we can find reliable sources to make that point and then put it in the "criticism" section. ProfGray (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Jews have specific genes, which is why its a *geno*-cide. There is no evidence transsexuality/transgenderism is genetic in any way. SlimyKlerburt (talk) 08:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Causes of gender incongruence#Genetics Tjf801 (talk) 14:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

The term "genocide" does not literally require shared genes. Case in point, the UN definition of genocide explicitly covers religious groups, like Jews. You can convert to Judaism. You don't have to be genetically related to other Jews to be a Jew. Loki (talk) 18:52, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Jews are absolutely a race, we admit that we are and I can't imagine why we would shy away from that. We have a nation-state of our own built around Jewish ethnic identity. So no, genocide does not fit here. Especially since the actual issue at hand is not the systemic murder of Trans people, but suicide. We don't call the mass-suicide of white men in the Midwest a "genocide"... ConstantineChase (talk) 13:56, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

If there’s a reliable source that argues your point, then that point can be added to the encyclopedia. ProfGray (talk) 14:55, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

I’m an new user! You don’t have the right to delete my userpage! I ask you to please restore this page! It’s an userpage, not an Wikipedia article! Lobby And TheoTheoDerich (talk) 02:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Lobby And TheoTheoDerich! Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad that you decided to create an account an join us! I understand that you're new here, but you need to understand that we have policies and guidelines that I must not only follow (being an admin doesn't exempt me from being required to follow all of the rules as well), but enforce as well. The reason I deleted your user page was because it consisted of advertising and promotion. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or promotion, and Wikipedia's user page guidelines here state that advertising and promotion is not allowed on your user page. Your user page was deleted because it met the criteria in policy allowing me to do so.

I don't want the deletion to result in you feeling disheartened or upset, but on the other aspect - you need to understand that this website is about building an encyclopedia; it's not about advertising the game you want people to download. If the deletion makes you that upset, you should ask yourself if you are here for the right reasons. Are you here to help us build an encyclopedia and make Wikipedia a better place for anyone to read and enjoy? You stated that you are brand new here, but then go on to say that I don't have the right to delete your user page. Your last sentence also (incorrectly) implies that you believe that I'm only allowed to delete articles, and not user pages. For someone who understands that they're brand new to Wikipedia (you stated this above), you're making (very incorrect) assumptions despite acknowledging that you're new and that you're not familiar with all of our policies.

My advice to you is that that you withhold any assumptions that you might find yourself wanting to make, and that you take some time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia. We have an extensive getting started page, as well as an interactive new user tutorial; both will be very beneficial for you, and I highly recommend reading through and completing them. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you need any assistance - I'll be more than happy to help! :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:02, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

You… Stay away! You’re trying to harm me! You deleted my userpage as an new user, you musted man! Stay away from me! Lobby And TheoTheoDerich (talk) 03:04, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Template:YO Meh. Oshwah is a great guy and like ten times nicer than I. I think you are being unduly harsh. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:10, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Stay away, I said. I am issuing my final warning, stay away. —Lobby And TheoTheoDerich (talk) 03:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

You appear to be making a threat, to another editor. GoodDay (talk) 03:12, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Template:Ec Lobby And TheoTheoDerich - Given your response above, it's becoming clear to me that you just aren't willing to learn and understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines no matter how clear and easy I make doing so for you. I hope that I'm reading you incorrectly and that you prove me wrong, and that you become a constructive editor and that you contribute positively to the project. All I'll say to you is that the mindset and attitude that you demonstrated above will just lead you to being shown the exit door (not by me, but by another administrator) should you continue editing with that mindset. Regardless, I wish you a great day and happy editing. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:16, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

can you help by giving us a way we can massage people or even cintactpeople a

[by the way, the section title was "the age of fish"]

please don't "use" quotation marks "like" this

How did you come across the tutorial series?

• As a very good student and "obedient" talented "learner" at school I could only say that my great teacher in Mathematics forwarded me to the great alpha phi beta magna wikipedia students and contributors. Oh I love to study "hard"!

How long did you spend looking through it, and which parts did you read?

I spend 6 to 7 hours a day on wikipedia feeds 3 hours after school and 3 hours after evening studies like from 11 pm to 2 am and wake up at 5:30 am in the morning for school.

Did the tutorial cover the topics you were hoping to learn about?

Oh yes i loved it. It did covered the topics I was hoping to learn about it. I am a great "learner". Especially on "multiple" topics...

Was it easy to understand?

Yes it was very easy to understand because I am the best student of my class and even in my school. My scientific know-how ( i am a great "learner") enables me to understand really "fast".

Did it help make you feel more confident editing?

I am a "beginner" and wish to progress "fast" in --editing- mathematical and advanced geometry and statistics articles

How can we make it better?

Please "provide" me with great "tools" for editing- I am craving to "contribute" to your "Foundation" for all editors around the world

Any other comments?

Any other comments?

republicans did this

it just gets worse and worse

How did you come across the tutorial series?

• Wikipedia Administrator Lady Liz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Liz) has approved my request and has sent a valuable list of internal Wikipedia pages for the training of new editors. One of the pages of that list is the 'Introduction' page.

How long did you spend looking through it, and which parts did you read?

• I have chosen the option of showing all sections of the Introduction as a single page, then I have leisurely read the full introduction (every section), in the course of two days, interspersed with attending to other tasks.

Did the tutorial cover the topics you were hoping to learn about?

• Undoubtedly yes, it is well written and complete as an introduction, with relevant internal links to more detailed information.

Was it easy to understand?

• Certainly, the language is clear and the distribution logical. It hardly needs any improvement, in my view.

Did it help make you feel more confident editing?

• I have already edited some other wikis, whether sister projects of the Wikimedia Foundation such as Wikivoyage, or non-Wikimedia wikis such as Wikitravel, Metapedia, Fascipedia and Dixiepedia (this one closed in late 2009, the others are active as of March 2023).

How can we make it better?

• It is already excellent as it is now. Some other editors may have suggestions, but at this point I have none.

Any other comments?

• Yes, regarding style. I am a polyglot fluent in various languages, but when I write in English I normally use traditional British Standard, except in specific contexts (such as scientific or technical information) in which I use an accepted international standard. I hope that my linguistic norms shall not conflict with those of Wikipedia or with the usage of other contributors.

Thanks for the fine work that You are doing, Gentlemen, and go ahead with it. Receive a Strong Confederate Salute.

care to run that one by me again?

Before the case went to court, there was a pre-trial hearing regarding points of law. Two points raised were; "Did the United States need to prove intent to violate the Gold Reserve Act to gain a warrant for seizure?", and "did the United States need to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt?". On both points, the judge ruled that intent was irrelevant in terms of getting a warrant, and because this was a civil case and not a criminal one, the government only needed to show a preponderance of evidence. The rooster was then held in a federal bank vault until the case was heard as the judge refused to grant bail to it.

i'd watch that show!

This event culminated in a trend of attempting to get banned from the U.S. Army Esports Discord server as quickly as possible, with a common technique being to link to Template:Srlink.

Template:Tq I don't suppose you have the power to make this happen in my RL. :-) One more wish: although it's a somewhat messy block log based on the conversation you've been having with yourself, perhaps you should clarify the log by CU-blocking Benutzer:Ijumdiya wadzani...it would make it easier for anyone looking at the log later. Thanks for your hard work.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:53, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Bbb23! God, if only I could grant wishes in real life... :-) And yes, good call - I have no problem putting that block back onto the account. Sigh... yeah, I didn't exactly leave that account's block log in clean and perfect order... :-/

I blocked this user on accident while using the SPI script to block the other sock users I found (I simply forgot to untick the "block" checkbox next to that account in the list). After catching the mistake, I unblocked the account and stated my reason in that summary. Sigh..... Then, a few moments later, I realized that I forgot that the account was previously indefinitely blocked, and that I had just stupidly unblocked them to fix the first mistake instead of changing it back. Hence, my other other block change. Yeah, good times... *Oshwah rolls his eyes at himself*

Anyways,  Done. I've restored the CU block back due to both the technical and behavioral evidence, and the discussion at the SPI. Thanks for pointing that out and for letting me know. If you need anything else from me, please don't be a stranger. You know where to find me! ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

the logical deduction

6. An internet troll is defined as an entity that passive-aggressively incites as many internet users to disagree and squabble as possible by putting controversial subjects and statements up for argument and debate, with very little effort on its own part or concern for the bitter disputes it leaves in its path.

7. On any subjects of true importance, far more text, typing, effort, blood, sweat and tears are spent bitterly arguing and endlessly debating on the talk pages of articles rather than contributing to the articles themselves.

8. Therefore, Wikipedia could in itself, by definition, be described as the world's largest internet troll.

are you sure about this.

No really, here's a gun. Just do it.

calm down!

In this day and age, that could probably somehow be misconstrued as an attack on somebody's preferred pronoun.

signs of poor editing behaviour

Super-Template:Redacted.

lighting the flames

Funny that I also came here to write about the Tea house, but I guess I'll have to change the section header a bit. Anyway... Jéské, you obviously have a deep knowledge of Wikipedia, and also of your specialty topics. And it's great that you volunteer at the Tea house. But, (Aha! I bet you knew there was a but coming...) your responses, although accurate as far as they go, sometimes have a preachy or impatient tone. (Please accept this attempt at constructive criticism, from someone who can be preachy and impatient Template:Wink. ) I found this response to the entry Template:Slink accurate, but harsh. Maybe just go a little easier on them; they're often newbies and might consider becoming an editor and writing about something else. Or maybe they won't, but one never knows, and a harsh first experience at Wikipedia probably won't seem very encouraging. Other than that, I really enjoy your comments at various Talk forums and Rfc's. Keep up the good work! Mathglot (talk) 10:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I am of the opinion that a person who views Wikipedia as an ersatz Facebook or as a billboard has no interest in editing elsewhere unless you make it crystal clear, with no ambiguity, that they have no idea what they're doing. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 18:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

The next time you post a diatribe like that at the Teahouse, I will pageblock you indefinitely from the Teahouse. Your conduct is unacceptable. Cullen328 (talk) 19:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Cullen328: on what grounds ? Nick (talk) 19:18, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Nick, ranting and raving like that is completely incompatible with Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host lounge/Expectations and way out of line at the Teahouse. Cullen328 (talk) 19:34, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

How much of it did you actually read, Cullen? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 19:46, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I read every word of your inappropriate diatribe and I read every word of the behavioral expectations for editors who answer questions at the Teahouse. Cullen328 (talk) 19:57, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Then in what way, policy-wise, is any of it wrong? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 20:05, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Template:OdTemplate:Tpq You were neither polite nor patient. You were antagonistic and brought up many things that had nothing to do with the original question. You were blowing off steam. Cullen328 (talk) 20:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Really? A post that betrays a complete and total misunderstanding of how Wikipedia operates from a user who has a painfully obvious conflict-of-interest doesn't require a responce that explains why they are mistaken with links to policy to back it up? —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 20:30, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@Cullen328: Is "ranting and raving" mentioned anywhere in the blocking policy, out of curiosity, or is there a specific section that allows you to block anybody you think isn't "being polite and patient with all editors who visit the Teahouse" ? I'm also rather intrigued, do you think threatening to block a long-term editor and effectively forcing them away from aiding at the Teahouse is conducive to the long term viability of the Teahouse ? Your threat reads like you're running the Teahouse as some sort of private fiefdom, demanding people do things a specific way, and as we know from how the Teahouse came into being, Wikipedia has never accepted these private little fiefdoms. Nick (talk) 20:37, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Nick, I am surprised that you are defending Jéské Couriano's disruptive editing at the Teahouse. I have warned the editor about this previously. All I am asking is that the excessively hostile comments stop. If it continues and I pageblock, then the matter can go to ANI and the community can decide which of us is editing on a disruptive fashion. I am confident about the outcome of any such discussion. Esperanza ended several years before the Teahouse started and there is zero connection. As for your fiefdom accusation, I consider your comment to be without merit. Cullen328 (talk)

Cullen, you got on my case for being a dumbass above. (And yes, you are correct but assumed malice rather than ignorance.) I don't trust you to not make a federal case out of anything I say from this point forward. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 20:59, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

If you simply follow the Teahouse behavioral expectations and provide accurate answers, then I will have no problem with your contributions in the future. Cullen328 (talk) 21:06, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

I am not going to be anything but blunt as a truncheon with editors who have a conflict of interest. I've had kinder wording be exploited for loopholes; I would rather be unambiguous and clear than mealy-mouthed and gullible-sounding. And besides, I could be the sweetest person in the world and I have a feeling you'd still come after me because I used one too many "the"s. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 21:12, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Well, the next time that you are "as blunt as a truncheon" in the same or similar fashion at the Teahouse, I will pageblock you for disruptive editing, and we will see where it goes from there. Cullen328 (talk) 21:20, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Fine. Now get the fuck off my talk page and stay there. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v ^{a little blue Bori} 21:26, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

utterly brilliant

1. Set up a triumvirate of MastCell, Bishonen, and Moni3. (Note that none of them will want to do this, and you will likely have to force them at gunpoint; that's part of the reason they'd be good choices.)
2. Anything all three of them agree on is policy. Anything two of the three agree on is a guideline. Everything else is solved by rock, paper, scissors.
3. Be ready to clone them as they inevitably burn out and quit, so we don't go too long without all three. Because offhand I can't think of any other good potential replacement triumviri; the rest of us appear to be either fools or lunatics.

Plan B

No offense to the three people above, but an alternate solution would be to just have User:Moonriddengirl decide everything by fiat. She appears to be immune from the desire to be retired or semi-retired that has infected the current triumvirate. At the very least, if Moni3 really has gone for good, then MRG should take her place. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:32, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Dangit Levivich is a human (Homo sapiens) on Earth, first assembled and activated in the late 20th century. Despite an estimated clock rate under 0.0016 Hz and a 2-bit cache, Levivich continues to function,Template:Fakecn although both hardware and software are steadily degrading into obsolescence. Levivich regularly falls unconscious while on the dark side of the Earth, waking again after one-quarter to one-third of the planet's rotation. It is estimated that 99.999998% of humans are completely unaware of Levivich's existence, a figure that is expected to steadily rise.

The movement claims that all birds in the United States were exterminated by the federal government between 1959 and 1971 and replaced by lookalike drones used by the government to spy on citizens; the specifics of these theories are not always consistent, not unlike actual conspiracy theories.

[...]

Actual drone aircraft made from taxidermied birds, similar to those alleged by the theory, were constructed by a New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology team in 2023.

there are some loopholes in that idea...

from now and on you are officially ignored

why not both?

You are either trolling or seriously out of your depth.

scared?

61% of your pre-block edits related to LGBT matters. Your very first edit was to downplay the acceptance of it in the United States and a full dozen were to argue or defend edits arguing that homosexuality is morally equivalent to Nazism and a greater threat to America than Covid-19, fascism, police brutality, systemic racism, political and financial corruption, the upcoming housing market crash... Honestly, if you're more scared of homosexuality than Covid-19 or fascism, you don't need to be editing history articles, either.

Gather round for I shall tell the story of how I got wiki adopted by user:dfrg.msc.

I was on a wiki-boat trip with my wiki-parents when there was a wiki-explosion and wiki-snakes got on the wiki-boat. The snakes went wiki-mad wiki-killing all in there site. Dfrg.msc killed them all, though they wiki-killed my wiki-parents. Dfrg.msc draged me from the wiki-ruins of the wiki-boat (after he wiki-blew the wiki-snake full wiki-boat up) and made me his wiki adopted son.

Hmmmm...so, the MfD notice should be enough for everyone to notice....then by that logic, everyone on this page already knows that Esperanza is up for deletion...which means that I'm vote stacking pople who already know there is a !Vote?

Overwhelming consensus on the page seems keep. You won't really need a subpage, and keeping a deleted page content (assuming the offchance Esperanza gets deltaco) is against policy anyway. ~ crazytales_{-My talk-}^{-Your talk-} 00:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

(Copied from the MFD) Here is a bit of something to let you know how hard this will be.

I don't think we've fathomed how hard this is going to be. From this moment on, Esperanza is faced with twenty times more obstacles than ever, assuming we survive this MFD. No longer can we be lax; no longer can we sleep. Attack will come from every side, adversity from all corners. We will have to completely and utterly change Esperanza...sometimes that is my greatest fear. That in changing ourselves, we may destroy ourselves. But without the change we are guaranteed destruction; with it, there is a light of hope. I don't know what these changes are, but know this; we'll need them, and we'll need them bad.

It'll be tough. DoomsDay349 00:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Who do these deletionists think we are? Mindless robots with the sole purpose of editing Wikipedia? bibliomaniac15 Review? 00:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

As for my two cents, since I don't feel like putting them on the MfD page:

For the general John Q Wikipedian who happens to know a bit about policies, Esperanza seems like WP:NOT. Under the WP:AGF, I put that, realising that Esperanza has little value to the encyclopedia itself. But as a member of Esperanza and one who loves it, I believe in WP:IAR, under which I believe that WP:NOT's dislike of this page is unnecessary. Esperanza is at heart (or whatever serves servers for a heart) an organization that serves to help Wikipedians who are new or needing some Wikilove. it is my personal opinion that without the efforts of their respective Esperanza friends, E@L and Kyoko would have left the project for good, and possibly (as they have said) the earth. So my motto for Espreanza is as such:Esperanza:Aiding Wikipedia, one wikipedian at a time. As such, I think that the entire MfD is unnecessary and hope that it is not passed, now or ever.

Cheering is appreciated Here --teh tennisman 01:26, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

The most important thing right now is to remain united and do what's best for Esperanza, and Esperanzians. Also, consider contributing ideas to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Overhaul, in case you didn't see it at the top of the page.  Shardsofmetal  03:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Isn't erasure of Jews a concern? Einstein very clearly self-identified as Jewish and so surely we should respect that, instead of apparently trying to minimize that aspect of his life. Here's a very detailed analysis of his identity: https://aeon.co/essays/einstein-on-the-practical-matters-of-being-german-and-jewish (there's much more controversy about whether he was German than whether he was Jewish).

i wonder why

By June 19, Applewhite and Nettles's beliefs had solidified. They concluded that they had been chosen to fulfill biblical prophecies, and that they had been given higher-level minds than other people. They wrote a pamphlet that described Jesus' reincarnation as a Texan, a veiled reference to Applewhite. Furthermore, they concluded that they were the two witnesses described in the Book of Revelation and occasionally visited churches or other spiritual groups to speak of their identities, often referring to themselves as "The Two", or "The UFO Two". They believed they would be killed and then resurrected and, in view of others, transported onto a spaceship. This event, which they referred to as "the Demonstration", was to prove their claims.

To their dismay, these ideas were poorly received by other religious groups.

Dear izo,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. I am writing to you today to express my deepest and most sincere apologies for my completely unacceptable behavior of stalking you. I am deeply ashamed of my actions and the distress I have caused you.

First and foremost, I want to emphasize that what I did was inexcusable, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I understand that my behavior invaded your personal space, infringed upon your privacy, and made you feel uncomfortable and unsafe. There are no words to adequately convey how truly sorry I am for the pain and fear I have caused you.

I want you to know that my actions were completely out of character for me, and I am committed to understanding and addressing the root causes that led to my behavior. This incident has been a wake-up call, highlighting the need for me to seek professional help to address my personal issues and work towards becoming a better person.

I am in no way trying to justify or minimize the impact of my actions, but I want to assure you that I have taken immediate steps to rectify the situation. I have ceased all contact with you and will never initiate any form of communication or interaction with you again. Furthermore, I have sought counseling to understand and change my deeply flawed behavior patterns.

Please understand that I am committed to doing everything in my power to make amends and ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. I will fully cooperate with any actions you deem necessary, including involving the authorities, restraining orders, or any other legal measures that may help you feel safe and secure.

Lastly, I want to express my deepest regret and remorse for betraying your trust. I understand that it will take time and consistent effort on my part to rebuild any semblance of trust or respect, but I am dedicated to doing the necessary work. I sincerely hope that one day you may find it in your heart to forgive me, although I fully understand if that is not possible.

Once again, I am truly sorry for the immense distress I have caused you. I have learned a valuable lesson from this experience, and I will strive to become a better person and contribute positively to society. If there is anything I can do to assist you in the healing process or if you wish to communicate your thoughts, please do not hesitate to let me know.

With profound remorse and a genuine commitment to change,

JM

YOU GUYS STRESSED ME OUT OF THIS NONSENSICAL ISSUE. YOU ENDLESSLY REVERT MY EDITS WITHOUT MERCY AND RESPECT. You support TOPIC BAN and worse, you're threatening my status as a contributor to the WP:OLY. Sportsfan 1234 seriously DESTROYED MY REPUTATION AS A WIKIPEDIA EDITOR AND AN AVID OLYMPIC FAN; and LOVES TO PISS ME OFF WHENEVER I EDIT AN OLYMPIC-RELATED ARTICLE. You're all wasting your time CREATING UNENDING ISSUES AND DRAMA about my contribution to the Olympics. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MY EDITS ON THE ARTICLES THAT I CREATED BEFORE, GO AHEAD AND ASSESS THEM FOR GNG AND NOLYMPICS guidelines. I'm TIRED of THIS INCIDENT ALREADY. THANK YOU!

confused comment

Hello, thanks Elbow made (talk) 17:18, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

there's a reason this link is a permalink

Anyone this dumb should just be indeffed.

this was removed for not being funny enough

It is rated T for it being trash.

the implications are left to you to figure out

Cherry Hill Park has lots of news coverage, most notably the Barry White case where he had allegedly raped a woman, the case where a body was found in the water near the campground, and the 2017 article covering the inauguration of Donald Trump.

it's as random in 2024!

God, you guys don't know how random it is to not check Wikipedia for a while and then come back and you're all singing Bohemian Rhapsody.

well, he's found it out.

how could there be any iranians if there were not persians first?

what's more correct iran or persia?

Despite the game's legacy and forming a prominent aspect of modern culture, contemporary reviews of Monopoly are largely negative. On BoardGameGeek, the game is ranked in the bottom ten board games, with a mean rating of 4.4/10.

[...]

Games magazine included Monopoly in their "Top 100 Games of 1980", praising it as "the original landlord game in which players buy, sell, and rent Atlantic City real estate at pre-casino prices" and noting that at the time it was "so popular that Parker Brothers prints more paper money each year than the U.S Government".

Games magazine included Monopoly in their "Top 100 Games of 1981", noting that despite having been "Initially rejected by both Parker and Milton Bradley as containing 'fundamental errors' that the public would not accept", it became "one of the most popular games in the world, and deservedly so".

Games magazine included Monopoly in their "Top 100 Games of 1982", commenting that "The orange monopoly is the best [...] Try counting how many times you land on it as you leave jail."

A message from Wikipedia mascot Puzzly

Wikipedia is the richest source of information about red birds standing in trees, cotton tennis outfits and white balls lying on the ground.

Wikipedia is built by people like you who volunteer their free time writing useless encyclopedic articles about obscure paintings in Paris that nobody knows or cares about.

At the end of each year, many selfless people like you donate a small amount of money, so that Wikipedia can continue for another year.

Then, Wikipedia asks for money again, because they've spent all their time doodling and watching movies, instead of improving the software and keeping this top ten website online for hundreds of millions of visitors each month.

Free trivial knowledge without ads is invaluable: could you live without Wikipedia and its extensive coverage of TV series, and lists of inventors killed by their own invention?

Help protect this free, reliable, serious encyclopedia; give a few bucks today.

Since the word "Jiang" meaning "river" is written with the same Chinese character (江), searches related to rivers including the Yangtze (Cháng Jiāng) produced the message: "According to the relevant laws, regulations and policies, the results of this search cannot be displayed."

– a very old revision of Nothing

The popular tale is a love story between Zhinü (織女, the weaver girl, symbolizing Vega) and Niulang (牛郎, the cowherd, symbolizing Altair). Niulang was often abused by his sister-in-law. They eventually kicked him out of the house, and gave him nothing but an old cow. One day, the old cow suddenly spoke out, telling Niulang that there would be fairies bathing in the spring nearby that night. The fairy would stay there if she failed to go back to heaven before morning. In accordance with what the old cow said, Niulang saw those beautiful fairies in the spring, and fell in love with one of the beautiful fairies who was the heavenly weaver. In order to make her stay, he took her clothes that helped her to go back to heaven; this made her an ordinary earth woman without any power. They then got married and had two children. The Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大帝, Template:Literally) found out about this and was furious, so he sent minions to escort the heavenly weaver back to heaven. Niulang was heartbroken. The old cow suddenly spoke out again, telling Niulang he could take his skin to make it into a flying coat to chase after them; and Niulang did. However, the Queen Mother of the West drew a Silver River (The Milky Way) in the sky and blocked his way. Meanwhile, the love between Niulang and the weaver moved the magpie, and so they built a bridge of magpies over the Silver River for them to meet. The Emperor of Heaven was also moved by the sight, and allowed this couple to meet on the Magpie Bridge once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. That was the origin of the Qixi Festival.

[editor's note: on 24 november 1971, d. b. cooper hijacked a plane and demanded a ransom equivalent to 1.4 million dollars in today's money. he jumped out of the plane with four parachutes, never to be found again. it remains the only unsolved case of air piracy. how did the investigation go? here's a few excerpts from the article...]

A month after the hijacking, the FBI distributed lists of the ransom serial numbers to financial institutions, casinos, racetracks, and other businesses that routinely conducted large cash transactions, and to law-enforcement agencies around the world. Northwest Orient offered a reward of 15% of the recovered money, to a maximum of $25,000. In early 1972, U.S. Attorney General John N. Mitchell released the serial numbers to the general public. Two men used counterfeit $20 bills printed with Cooper serial numbers to swindle $30,000 from a Newsweek reporter named Karl Fleming in exchange for an interview with a man they falsely claimed was the hijacker.

[...]

Although the CRT obtained little new information about the buried ransom money or Cooper's landing zone, they found, analyzed, and identified hundreds of organic and metallic particles on Cooper's tie.

[...]

During their attempts to build Cooper's DNA profile in 2002, the FBI discovered the hair sample had been lost.

[...]

In 1998, the FBI sought to extract DNA from the cigarette butts, but discovered the butts had been destroyed while in the custody of the Las Vegas field office.

Geographically, ANI and ArbCom are in the low-lying desert, where nothing grows, no rain falls, and there's only the skeletons of animals that died.

A good chunk of editors that have left the project on poor terms probably spent too much time down there and thought that this was all of Wikipedia.

How sad! If only they had hitched their wagon and headed towards the greener pastures where the grass grows, the rain is plentiful, the weather is picture-perfect, the songbirds sing, and there is a farm with some cattle gracefully grazing. It's the land of milk and honey where articles flow out of. – from the wikimedia discord

Pierre Brassau was a Swedish artist and chimpanzee who was the subject of a 1964 hoax perpetrated by Åke "Dacke" Axelsson, a journalist at the Swedish tabloid Göteborgs-Tidningen. Axelsson came up with the idea of exhibiting a series of paintings made by a non-human primate, under the pretense that they were the work of a previously unknown French artist named "Pierre Brassau", in order to test whether critics could tell the difference between true avant-garde modern art and the work of a chimpanzee.

[...]

Rolf Anderberg of the Göteborgs-Posten wrote, "Brassau paints with powerful strokes, but also with clear determination. His brush strokes twist with furious fastidiousness. Pierre is an artist who performs with the delicacy of a ballet dancer." After the hoax was revealed, Anderberg insisted that Peter's work was "still the best painting in the exhibition".

some excerpts from Pantone 448 C...

Pantone 448 C is a colour in the Pantone colour system. Described as a drab dark brown and informally dubbed the "ugliest colour in the world", it was selected in 2012 as the colour for plain tobacco and cigarette packaging in Australia, after market researchers determined that it was the least attractive colour.

The Australian Department of Health initially referred to the colour as "olive green", but the name was changed after concerns were expressed by the Australian Olive Association.

The first edition was self-published in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1802. Dexter initially distributed his book for free, but it became popular and was reprinted eight times. The second edition was printed in Newburyport in 1805. In the second edition, Dexter responded to complaints about the book's lack of punctuation by adding an extra page of 11 lines of punctuation marks with the instruction that printers and readers could insert them wherever needed—or, in his words, "thay may peper and solt it as they plese".

Lead vocals on "The Most Unwanted Song" are provided by Emerson, whose high-pitched, operatic rapping is largely Western-themed (though one verse describes reading Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, followed by an interlude where she sings a brief excerpt from it over pipe organ). A children's choir sings verses about holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Yom Kippur, Ramadan and Labor Day, each ending with a call to "do all your shopping at Walmart!" Near the end of the song, Mankin shouts various non-sequitur political phrases through a bullhorn–culminating in blaming the audience for slavery, imperialism, and genocide–followed by a "folk song" refrain sung in unison by her, Emerson, the choir, and "with luck, [the] audience".

Reverted 1 edit by Abu Haja (talk) In the Twinkle of an eye.

– an edit summary in User talk:TreasuryTag

In my last IT job, back around '05 (So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time) we had a help desk.

Call the help desk, and tell them your problem, the Help Desk looks into it, and either fixes it or not. Either way, they notify the caller, let them know what happened, and close the ticket. On rare occasions, the ticket gets escalated and given to someone else but it is still closed.

Open tickets are reported on the next day in the morning meeting in front of your supervisor.

So things ran smoothly and people's problems were addressed in a professional, timely fashion.

Until Chuck came along.

Chuck was a fussy, florid white guy with a huge chip on his shoulder from somewhere. He was an end-user of our applications and networks and hated everything. So he'd seethe, and start calling the help desk.

One day of Chuck's tickets would look something like this:

• The network is slow, it takes a minute or more to load up (name of application) it's delaying my work.
• The font on the application is too large, and I have to scroll down.
• The background color makes it difficult to accurately read the text.
• The application interface makes no sense, it doesn't fit my workflow.
• When I enter corrections into the form, and go to lunch, the application times out, and I have to do my work over.
• The Help Desk is not fixing my issues.
• The network is too slow.
• The application has too many features and is confusing me.
• The application is interfering with my workflow.
• I have trouble tickets from yesterday and I need my problems addressed.
• I asked the Help Desk to raise the priority on my tickets to the highest priority and they refused.
• The application needs to be revised to fit my preferences.
• The Help Desk deleted all my tickets from yesterday as 'problem not reproducible'!

We tried to calm him down, we visited his office to see if something was wrong with how his workstation was set up. After a while, we asked his supervisor to have a talk with Chuck. The supervisor refused, as Chuck was a loner with lots of guns.

Chuck began screaming and cursing at help desk employees. We talked to HR. Chuck received a verbal warning. After a few days, the trouble calls increased again.

He called the Help Desk more than 1700 times over five years. He was usually the topic of every morning meeting.

Then he had a heart attack and died.

We cleared all the tickets left, updated the reports, and deleted his user name. Then we had a pizza party.

Vanguard TV-3 (also called Vanguard Test Vehicle-Three), was the first attempt of the United States to launch a satellite into orbit around the Earth, after the successful Soviet launches of Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2.

[...]

At its launch attempt on 6 December 1957, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the booster ignited and began to rise, but about two seconds after liftoff, after rising about 1.2 m (four feet), the rocket lost thrust and fell back to the launch pad. As it settled, the fuel tanks ruptured and exploded, destroying the rocket and severely damaging the launch pad. The Vanguard 1A satellite was thrown clear and landed on the ground a short distance away with its transmitters still sending out a beacon signal. The satellite was damaged, however, and could not be reused.

[...]

A few days after the incident, a Soviet delegate to the United Nations inquired whether the United States was interested in receiving aid earmarked for "undeveloped countries".

I believe that the definition was added to insult somebody with that last name. It is my last name and I don't want this dictionary to decide that my last name means a "homosexual man". There is not a single other dictionary that is so crude as to claim that my name means a homosexual man. I have never met a person with the name Huckle that was a homosexual. It is entirely ridiculous to have all the people named Huckle change their last name. How would you like it if people voted to make your family name mean something that was off color. Just because one crude person decides to use somebodies name in a rude way doesn't make it a new definition for a word. Otherwise I'd be able to make the name of everybody who I don't appreciate something crude on this site. But I'd probably be sued for that action.

Montreal children protesting the 1947 candy bar price increase outside a Laura Secord candy store

The candy bar protest, also known as the 5 cent chocolate war, the 5 cent war and the chocolate candy bar strike, was a short-lived 1947 protest by Canadian children over the increase in price of chocolate bars from five to eight cents. The strike began in Ladysmith, British Columbia, and spread across the country to include protests in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, Toronto and the Maritimes. The strike ended when the Toronto Evening Telegram published an editorial suggesting that one of the organizations allied with the children, the National Federation of Labour Youth, was backed by communists.
