• No problem. It's not that labyrinthine, really, once you get used to it; what's problematic sometimes is the rather poor quality of some submissions. The review I "donated" to your nom was actually quite easy: I made some copy edits, but the thing was cleanly written and properly referenced, and totally unproblematic. I used to forget to actually put the template in the list, but there's usually someone to help take care of that. And the women's day reference made me get to work myself: Hélène Swarth is in poor shape right now but I'm working on it.

À cette époque il profite de sa situation pour préparer son entrée à l’Ecole des Arts Décoratifs (ART DECO) et à l’Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Admis aux deux écoles en 1913, il opte pour la section « Arts Déco » et suit parallèlement aux Beaux-Arts des cours de peinture à l’huile à l’atelier de R. Collin. Ses études sont interrompues par la Première Guerre mondiale.:

• Yes I understand what you mean. I might misunderstand this but it says SECTION, I might mean he chosed both. He chosed to study design in this style and he also chosed at painting, at Beaux-Arts well as far I understod. and he chosed the section Art deco... Art deco can also be the name of École nationale, yes. But Art deco is also a style, a visual arts design style.
  • Sure, but given the "he also took classes at the Beaux-Arts" it stands to reason that the Arts Deco in the first part means the school. "Section" is a kind of term you find used often in those French school systems, like "unit".

• According to "John Piper: The Forties", ed. David Fraser Jenkins here, Delarbre composed poetry whilst sitting under the Goethe Oak- he sketched the burnt stump after it was destroyed in a bombing raid. This oak tree, inside Buchenwald, was venerated by the camp guards; apparently there was a superstition that if the oak fell so would Germany- I remember reading that they were profoundly dispirited by its destruction.

• There's an interview here with Breker. He says that after the war he was given invitations by Peron, Franco and Stalin, and said "When Stalin invited me, the American NATO general came to Bavaria personally to take me to Russia. That’s how much respect the Americans had for an offer like that." He claimed to have been trained as an architect, and to have worked as one after the war- it seems because casting bronze sculpture required resources he didn't have. Seems to have had a somewhat dull personality.

Hafspajen must have me mixed up with several other people. But a småpåve, small pope, is a minor officeholder who takes full advantage of the opportunities his office affords him for pushing people around. The use of the word dates me rather firmly — the little popes themselves may well never have heard it — but it just came into my head as perfect for the occasion.

• Well, about the animal: Fluffy, Muffy and Stuffy are good traditional names. Gareth-Griffith-Garfield is unconventional, but has an excentric flavor. Muffin, that is good too. Tiger, Pussy, Smokey, Misty, Kitty, Smokey, Skippy, all popular. Molly, Charlie Tigger, Poppy, Millie, Daisy Max and Jasper also popular. Mozart, Bethowen Athowen Cthowen and Gthowen has a classic touch. Breit was the foxy Norwegian guys name, suitable for a cat too. Jens, Kåre,Geir, Jonatan, Svein, Gregor, Arne-Johannes, Fritjof, and Truls Johan are the other guys alias, ther guy who was called Finn in the video. Crisco, a very god one.

• You may have seen my comment. I didn't support a block because I try to take this preventative thing seriously (why you'd want one I fully understand). And I don't see the point of a block here--odd, in a way I think that's too good for this behavior, since one can come back from a block and we can act as if a measure of justice was meted out and an appropriate penalty paid, after which we start with a clean slate. Now, if those two hotheads can go do something else, we'll be alright. What they don't see is that their shouting is not helping anyone, and that all of this is probably not a matter for ANI. You wonder if a proactive ArbCom would want to get involved, but then his giving up his little tool is probably considered punishment enough. What got into him pulling a stunt like that is beyond me of course. Anyway, carry on. I promised myself a while ago I'd stay out of ANI to write some articles, and I wrote a couple stubs. I'm going to try to get back to that. Good to see you back here, Eric--perhaps Hafspajen has a nice pastry for you (Haf, one is enough!).

• Excuse me for butting in, but despite earlier suggesting that a block was not appropriate, that was predicated on Kaldari doing the honorable thing by taking the next step to avoid further disruption and discontent by withdrawing from the English wikipedia entirely. He obviously isn't doing this, and, furthermore, he compounded his problems by giving inconsistent accounts of his actions (as partially noted by one editor) in his last message, (the other inconsistency is that Risker talked of "discussions" that had taken place with Kaldari before his resignation of his admin tools had been decided, and kaldari just says he was informed of the results of the checkuser with no mention of any discussions that might have included his possible options. I suggest we look at Risker's account to check - I have only limited time to do anything for this week.) Consequently, I think this ends up showing that he is unreliable and untrustworthy and that is exactly the kind of person we do not want on wikipedia. So, I was mulling over the idea of an indefinite block purely on those grounds. Incidentally, a while back it was always touted (possibly by Kaldari's strongest defenders against blocking) that having admin tools was "no big deal". If that still applies, it follows that giving them up is no big deal, either, and so his resignation obviously doesn't match up with the degree of wrong behaviour he has shown here. I just feel that this episode, unless firm action to exclude Kaldari from this wikipedia for the time being, will fester and bring further discontent which will be disruptive, and so any block really would be preventative. I seriously have begun to think of just going ahead and imposing a block myself.  DDStretch  (talk) 02:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-11T02:23:00.000Z","author":"Ddstretch","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ddstretch-2014-03-11T02:23:00.000Z-Eric_Corbett-2014-03-10T23:09:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2014-03-11T02:50:00.000Z-Ddstretch-2014-03-11T02:23:00.000Z"]}}-->
  • ddstretch, you've been here so long that I can understand that death mask on your user page. I tell you what, I wasn't aware that Kaldari had said he'd leave the English wiki for good. I would have been fine with them staying here: we have bigger disruptors than him, though a disruptor with a tool is a special kind of disruptor. IMO, that tool removal is a big thing (and I think, as I said earlier, that ArbCom might think that too). Now, I disagree with you that removing him will do much of anything, because I don't agree with the premise (held by some of the people I respect most in this joint) that the admin corps is the problem, and that an example should be made out of this clearly abusive (now former-) admin. At any rate I think such a discussion requires a slightly less public venue than ANI, but that's a minor point. I guess I just don't see how much disruption he can cause.

    You mentioned Risker, whom I'm pinging now out of courtesy, with a curtsy. [/me curtsies to her highness] I'm not clear on what happened. What I know is that I blocked that account--somehow a CU is run, I presume because someone saw it too and pinged a CU, maybe. I don't know about inconsistencies (I'll reread the discussions), but it stands to reason (again, out of courtesy) that one would quietly mention this to the villain in question and discuss options--kind of like slipping Othello the knife behind his back. So, if there's some conversation, some options being mulled, it's not unlikely that there are differing accounts from different sides, and one certainly feels as if one side was a bit halting in producing a truthful account. (I'd be too, having lived in many a glass house.)

    DDStretch, you do what you think is right; that's also why you're an admin. I didn't see a consensus to block, but one can easily read that discussion as "no consensus" in general. To put it another way, I doubt there would be much dissent with such a decision. What good it will do, I don't know. But I'll read the discussions again, and I appreciate your stopping by.

    • You're so cute when you curtsy, Drmies. Here, let me help you up. The account was a horribly obvious sock of someone; I'm not sure who contacted the original checkuser, but I didn't do the checks, mostly because I don't normally have the admin noticeboards on my watchlist so wasn't even aware of the original post. I was checking the CU log for something completely different when I stumbled upon the log entries and, if nothing else, I'm very good at reading the tea leaves; however, as the situation appeared to be in hand with others I stayed out of it at that point. A few days later, Kaldari asked me to review a statement that he had written, and gave me the background of the reason he had written it. I suggested some tweaks, we discussed how likely it was that an Arbcom case and desysopping would be the result, and from that perspective I think Kaldari made the right decision. I believe it was me who told him that the checkuser evidence pointed right at him, though; he gave me no indication that any other checkuser or anyone from the Arbitration Committee had spoken to him, only his own employer. I didn't know anything about any additional websites he was connected to until after the fact. One thing I know about being, shall we say, old enough not to have posted my youthful indiscretions online, is that the few keepsakes of my wilder days are all in boxes in the basement, and not available for public view. I suspect just about everyone has done some spectacularly silly things in their youth. I often wonder about the under-35s and their "living life on the web" — the more public one's activities, the more likely that someone will try to make hay about them.

      Kaldari's contributions point generally to someone who doesn't spend any significant time on the drama boards; he's mostly in article space or doing things like commenting on featured picture candidates; there are some admin-related edits on places like RFPP and some work in the "techie" realms as well. If he sticks to what he usually does on the project (absent the admin stuff), there shouldn't be much reason for concern; his decision to take a wiki-break implies he's had more than his fill of drama.

I've had few interactions with Kaldari and have no opinion, really, on what he should do, besides maybe apologize to Eric, haha. Well, this is a bad time: busy here.

• Ah well. And now that abusive power player 28bytes has taken my close away from me. I hear 28bytes used to torture frogs when in middle school. Plus, I heard that Darkness Shines doesn't care if someone calls him a wanker which means, of course, that he's a wanker. Anyway, I had a look (again, since I did a few weeks ago) at the John Waters discussion, and I don't like disagreeing with you here but I kind of have to, at least on the narrow matter of the 3R report. And I think you're overplaying that discussion a bit on your talk page, but that's what talk pages are for, perhaps, and some of us know that you, well, you know, have a tendency sometimes to...how shall I put it?...vocalize...with a bit of volume.

Mark, no harm no foul. I don't mind being reverted by someone I generally respect. Now, since you're not an admin and you dared tread on my delicate admin toes, I'm going to block the fuck out of you for a week or so, and I'm going to key your fucking Celica. How about that? (You know what's funny, I sometimes think of Mark Arsten when I see your name, like above, and I think, hey, you're an admin, YOU clean up on aisle 9!)

Civility complaints are fine. Sometimes they're justified. Often they go nowhere--this one simply didn't have any meat to it: one editor complaining about another editor's behavior is an NPA at best, and I'm sure Jimbo can separate his two roles, as Famous Person and as Wikipedia editor (I know Collect and a million others disagree, but hey, I'm the optimist). There's another thread (Mark, you commented in it as well) about that IPadPerson--now there's something to look into. Here's the dictum from the old guy: if a civility charge or two is all there is to it, there's nothing there. If there really is something there you'll find problems in other areas. With Collect, you have a BLP warrior who will interpret the guidelines (gasp!) as he thinks he should, but that's all there is to it. So what if he tells Jimbo, or me, to go stick it where the sun don't shine. In other words, I prefer to close some of these threads quickly since if there's no meat to them (in my judgment of course, and I can be wrong--I didn't see it with IPadPerson the first time) it just becomes another opportunity to rehash old, old problems. Before you know it that wanker Darkness Shines shows up again, and then all hell breaks loose. OK--time to do something else. Writ and 28, I am honored by your visit.

• Of course, nobody ever appointed me the grand master of all things BLP, so I can't profess to be infallible. ;) But on which point do you disagree, Mark? I really don't think we can say this was a BLP violation, as there was no assertion of authority in the statement, nor could it plausibly be said to be using Wikipedia's voice. BLP doesn't mean "we're not allowed to express negative opinions about anyone"; if it did, we wouldn't need either a civility policy or a personal attack policy, as both would be covered by BLP. The way I see it, the point of BLP is that we cannot use Wikipedia to mislead people, and I don't see how this could've misled anyone. Now, if you were to argue that the lack of a qualifier such as "I think that..." meant that Collect was in fact using Wikipedia's voice, well, I can kinda see where you're coming from, but the context and location of the comment should still make it eminently clear that it was Collect's opinion, not a statement of fact. What's your take on BLP, such that it would apply here? (Also, sorry Drmies and 28bytes, but I'm hijacking the eff out of this section.)

This is a very familiar road for me. Many people have different views of Jimmy. Some see him as a god, others see him as just another editor. I just see him as someone I hold in high regard for our interactions and the helpful manner in which he teaches me to better myself on Wikipedia, like you, Drmies, Dennis and even Eric Corbett (still hold the dude in high regard. I really like his contributions as a great content editor). I also actually have some respect for Collect. But...I also hold BLP policy in very high regard. I love to write about people and I took a great deal of time to review BLP because of this interest. BLP is policy, not just a guideline or an essay. Having said that I do understand that there is very little that is absolute on Wikipedia. Jimbo takes a lot of crap. He is indeed a big boy and can defend himself, but...unlike you and me, he is a public figure and sometimes people will actually use that to make claims about the man that I simply feel like standing up to as I would if it were, lets say, Dennis Brown. Some feel that we place ourselves in danger in the public eye and deserve criticism if we use our own names. I can tell you (and the vandalism on my talk page can attest) that using a username didn't protect me from such. My skin is much thicker now than it was even a year ago. But for me, the thickness of my skin is not an obligation to stay out of another editor's "business" when they cross a certain line. That line to me has always been using Wikipedia as a platform for making any statement about anyone that is not clearly a simple matter of criticism. My goodness...I have been very critical of almost everyone I hold in high regard. Seriously...ask Drmies...well heck don't...as I am sure you may even remember your own RFA. But everyone deserves real "consideration" and I do that for EVERYONE.

Yes, I think this was something that we should simply say, "No, you cannot do that", because the written word can be a weapon and if stated in just the right way, an opinion becomes a statement of belief. You, me and collect have every right to believe whatever we wish.......we do not have that right to express those beliefs as if they were indeed fact on Wikipedia. It is not a matter of using Wikipedia's voice of authority and the BLP policy is not written in that manner (at this moment, but you do raise an interesting point that may well be worth bringing up). Our current policy (which, as I state is not absolute) is that statements about living persons that are contentious in any way should be removed without discussion. That much is fact. How far that should be taken and how much it should be pressed is uncertain. But, if I see something I feel is defaming a living person (and yes, I did feel this defamed Jimbo) I tend to support deletion and have even gone as far as actually deleting the material. In this case...I did not. I just expressed my opinion and then, when the editor made sure to repeat it, I stated that they, themselves, were indeed proving that they were guilty of the same. Now....that only garnered the very same criticism of myself. But, I was certain that would happen, even though the very source of the claim was actually present before us. It may have even been an unconscious test I laid out without even trying. I mean, look at what the actual policy is. ;-). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia (Yes, I know I don't need to tell you that) where people come to write facts. As such our policies have come to acknowledge that some people use their own space to promote themselves and their ideas...in this manner we also understand as a community that there are limits to what we are allowed to place in our own space. I actually believe in the qualifier in this instance as being of utmost importance to separate fact and belief from opinion. It is ok to state an opinion, but it is not always right to state what you believe to be true. A lot of text text to say that, that is what I felt here.

• Well, those are valid points, at least some of them. It is certainly true that our BLP policy applies everywhere but Writ Keeper's point, that if it's all BLP, so to speak, then there is no need for anything else (very clever, Writ Keeper!). So context matters--and again, we have a comment aimed at Wales the person who runs Wikipedia (yeah yeah I know he's not the boss), not Wales the public persona. And, as WK pointed out, context is also the wording and the place (a user talk page). The BLP policy is there to prevent readers from believing incorrectly that terrible things are said and they're correct/verified/to be believed. I can't see that in those comments by Collect. On the other hand, it is true that Jimbo has a target on his back, but removing comment from a user's talk page (and let's face it, Collect's doesn't have the kind of traffic that real pages have, like William Shakespeare or User talk:Drmies) doesn't do all that much: all joking aside, that's context too, "amount of traffic", and surely it matters where comments are made. So, I applaud your efforts to protect his reputation, and while I don't agree with blanking content from Collect's talk page, I appreciate the intent. And I'd love to see you and Collect duke it out, bare-knuckle style.

I have to agree that context does matter but I am not sure if in this context we have something that flies under BLP policy. Now, having said that...I didn't go to Collects page and blank the contents. I just agreed with the filing editor that this was a BLP violation. The only thing I really disagree with you on is that BLP policy is not aimed at the reader, but at the editor and what they can and cannot write to keep others from being written about unfairly. Collect and I sometimes agree and sometimes disagree.

Bishonen, is this the functionality you're looking for--[[:sv:Kräftor|Kräftor]], rendering as "Kräftor"? It took me a while to learn that; I've linked to articles on the German wiki that way. I'm sure there's a fancy way to do diffs as well, with some version of the {{diff}} functionality; perhaps Technical 13 or Writ Keeper know more.

(edit conflict) That's it, thanks. Well, diffs are URLs, so there's no problem.

• If you are asking if there is a way to link to a diff, you can do it with a raw url like this change by Addbot (code: {{Plain link|{{fullurl:sv:Kräftor|diff=20111102&oldid=17230054}} this change by Addbot}}). If you are asking if the {{Diff}} template has this functionality built in, this change by Addbot (code:{{Diff|:sv:Kräftor|20111102|17230054|this change by Addbot}}) will do the same thing.

Av någon anledning har ett gäng admins gång på gång raderat bilder och mallar från Hafspajens diskussionssida, vilket gjorde användaren upprörd och till slut la upp ett "jag lämnar Wikipedia"-meddelande. Detta ledde till ett gäng wikilovemeddelanden från användare från enwp, vilka av någon anledning raderades. Därpå blockerades båda de användare som la in dessa meddelanden, Drmies och PaleCloudedWhite, på tre år (av MagnusA) resp obestämd tid (av Luttrad). Båda dessa är etablerade användare på enwp som troligen mest ville visa sitt stöd för en bekant som de upplevde behandlades felaktigt.

For some reason has a bunch of admins repeatedly deleted images and templates from the Hafspajens discussion page, made the user upset who finally left an "I'm leaving Wikipedia" message. (Acctually the message was leawing Swedish Wiki). This led to a bunch of wikilove messages from users from external wikis, which for some reason was deleted. Subsequently, they blocked both users who put these messages, Drmies for three years and PaleCloudedWhite, indefinitely (by admin MagnusA) and Luttrad. Both of these are established users on externalwikis that probably mostly wanted to show their support for an acquaintance who they felt was treated improperly. Is this is really a good idea especially without having to justify blocking more than with "nonsense account"? I chose to immediately rescind these blockages, and wonder now who acted wrongly in this situation. /Grillo . Well. well.

Sorry Hafspajen--I realize that for you this is much less a laughing matter than for me. "Chastened" (who needs a chastening) cited the Swedish version of WP:RBI, which obviates the requirement of a warning--but that AGF wasn't even considered is a bit chillsome. Well, maybe the AN-thread serves as a warning that they should be more careful. At least the actions were reversed. I hope they don't block me for leaving some Wikilove on Grillo's talk page.

• Northern Antarctica, I just responded there. I don't think the case should be accepted, and I'll bet you ten bucks that it won't. I also said there that I understand the sentiment that led you to it (you probably know that I've had my own trouble with that editor; I wish you'd find a different way to make this place more liveable (like, avoiding your opponent...). If you'd get out of this category mentality, which I think you have, things would become a lot easier: you want Eric gone, so you support Kaldari? His actions were reprehensible, as I'm sure you realize. But you don't have to like everyone here, and a continued focus on what is essentially a personal matter makes everything more difficult for everyone, especially for yourself. And that's a shame, because you have done many good things here, and I'm sure you still do them, but this can't but be a distraction.

• Just for the record, I wasn't supporting Kaldari as much as trying to prevent him from being kicked while he was down. His actions were certainly reprehensible. I wasn't unhappy that he was, as you say, "admonished pretty broadly". Instead, I was unhappy at what I perceived as people unnecessarily digging up dirt on him. Ihardlythinkso, who was already angry at me for rather impolitely challenging his RfA !vote, used my position at ANI as further reason to ridicule and yell at me. So, this really has very little to do with the Kaldari case. Also, as much as Eric and I have our differences, I don't hate him.

Well, we're back from Mississippi--four hours and fifteen minutes without stopping. Got home at 11.

I never liked driving in Mississippi, they drive too slow, like they get paid by the hour.

You trams-users sure did manage to stir the pot good over at Swedish Wikipedia. Verbal trench have been dug, accusations and counter-accusations have been flying, one of the admins has even labeled your intense banter here as "bullying" and both appear to have resigned their adminship in disgust at their treatment (on even gave up his bureacrat rights!). A supporter actually pseudo-quoted Joseph Stilwell in support. High drama! This might actually have done some good in the long run, though. I think we've had a rather liberal "block anything that's annoyingly unusual"-policy a bit too long. This made the problem that more obvious.

Thank you so much for the excellent comedy further up, btw. I mean, ju langre ekorre, desto storre noje. Is that poetry or what?

I don't think Swedish wikifolks overall are good with the combination of strange strangers and careless use of admin tools. Conflict resolution is often based more on intense verbal showdowns, counter-accusations and shrill yells of "I HAD GOOD INTENTIONS SO CAN YOU LET IT GO ALREADY, SHEESH STOP HARASSING ME". Believe it or not, you're almost expected to be more humble if you've been on the receiving end of a bad block than the admin who dished it out. You know, the we-shouldn't-pass-judgement-lest-someone-gets-sad-about-it thing.

But don't feel bad. People will probably learn something from it. Like giving each other more cake and flowers. And small, furry mammals. Or crabs. Crabs are definitely overlooked in the cuteness department.

Well, "pleasure" wouldn't necessarily be wrong, but it has a... hrrm... carnal tinge to it that isn't in there in Swedish. "Joy" or "amusement" would be more appropriate. And chaste. But that's what it means. Memorable, eh!

• For the life of me I can't remember the name of my Swedish teacher at Alabama. I can picture him--he was tall and blond (of course). He had glasses and I think he was in International Business Management or something like that. His English was quite good, with that nice thick Scandinavian accent. I was in a class full of people who took a foreign language cause they couldn't hack the alternative, some computer class (same kind of people I tried to teach Dutch over there). We used to do quite a bit of drinking. Anyway, he was trying to teach the "The…the… with comparative adjectives" structure (I'm sure there's a term for it, but my brain is tired this morning), and I thought I'd come up with a sample sentence, which he translated. "Pleasure" was just a noun to fill the slot, initially. And it always reminds me of that Sjöwall and Wahlöö character somewhere in Skane, I believe--in Murder at the Savoy? That nice inspector Nöjd, who, when he made a phone call, said his name as if there were a question mark behind it, causing some bafflement on the other end (haha, Swedish joke).

  There was a relatively small and relatively loud group of Swedish students at Alabama; I don't think any of them were athletes (the Icelanders at my current school are usually soccer players), they were business students mostly. Much fun, and meatball dinners.

  Anyway, I am with Hafspajen here. I don't want to see heads roll: a simple "sorry" would suffice. Now, if, as is suggested here, block on sight is the culture there, then something probably needs to change--it's just bad advertisement for the project, and Wikilove was invented precisely to make the atmosphere less charged, even less formal.

• That's the first time I've ever seen that kind of linkage, Ent. My gut feeling is, really, that's deceitful! My policy feel is I don't know, Yngvadottir is probably right, and for practical purposes K-stick is right as well. What a strange link--that's really how you found it? I do find leopard seals to be a bit deceitful: they hide as cute little seal but devour cute little penguins.

SOME STORY from flicr The ship Swiks is still lying here after all these years. It was a three masted schooner from Mariehamn in the Ålands. Swiks had done many long journeys before, she had for example transported guano from the Seychelles to England.

The ship was at the time not carrying anything but ballast when a bad storm hit it just before midnigt on the 21 of December 1926.

The captain ordered her in to the Kalmar straits in order to escape the bad weather, however he miscalculated their position. If he had waited one more nautic mile he would have gone clear.

What happened instead was that she went straight up on the sand banks. Everyone in the crew managed to get away and even though they spent several hours in wet clothes in the snow storm trying to find their way out of the Troll Forest, they finally managed to find a cabin where people took care of them - everyone survived the wreck.

The waves threw the ship high up on the beach where it has remained until this day. A hurricane in 1954 broke the ship in half, and today only the forward part of the ship remains to be seen.

It is a monument to a wild coast with wild weather - just as much as the trees here in the Troll Forest are.Hafspajen (talk) 13:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-15T13:53:00.000Z","author":"Hafspajen","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Hafspajen-2014-03-15T13:53:00.000Z-Swiks_Refs","replies":["c-Drmies-2014-03-16T00:37:00.000Z-Hafspajen-2014-03-15T13:53:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2014-03-16T00:39:00.000Z-Hafspajen-2014-03-15T13:53:00.000Z"]}}-->

• Yeah, there's no way I'm going to be able to get Fantastiska Öland through Interlibrary Loan, but that's OK. Both the blog and the Reseguiden site have that as a source. The Sjohistorika page is very useful: what a beautiful ship. Did you notice I went over to work on Mērsrags a bit? Same landscape, no doubt, as the Swedish coast, and that's where the Swiks was built (or thereabouts). So thanks for the links!

• There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the ordinary to hear the Rabbit say to itself 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!' ...but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out its waistcoat pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice startled to her feet.
• So many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
  There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.

• 'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here ? '
  'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said bishzilla .
  'I don't much care where —' said Alice.
  'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said bishzilla

• 'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
  'Oh, you can't help that,' said the bishzilla : 'we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
  'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
  'You must be,' said bishzilla , 'or you wouldn't have come here.'
  Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on 'And how do you know that you're mad?'
  'To begin with,' said bishzilla , 'a dog's not mad. You grant that?'
  'I suppose so,' said Alice.
  'Well, then,' bishzilla went on, 'you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'

Hi Drmies, I am not sure how interested you are in my pet peeves, but it never hurts to try, right?

Anyway, I believe I am not the only wikipedian who finds the use of the term female offensive when it is used to describe women who are notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. I also find the term male offensive when it is used in this context.

If you are wondering why I am picking on you, the reason is simple: I just discovered a category you created four years ago: Category:Female suicides which may be clinically and linguistically correct, however I am not sure family members of these women would construe it as such. Since many here emulate you , I just wanted to make you aware of the feelings of some wikipedians.

If you reply on your talkpage, I would appreciate a notification.

• Ottawahitech, I had forgotten all about that category. You are not the only Wikipedian who finds the term offensive, but I find it offensive dependent on context: as a noun, used to refer to humans of the female persuasion, I find it repugnant, but as an adjective I have no problem with it. I think my problem, but I have to think about this some more, is that its use as a substantive is a kind of reduction (or worse, a kind of synecdoche) that we as humans should have outgrown. Now, if you find its use as an adjective objectionable, I suggest you try and write up what your arguments are--not necessarily for some discussion here, but in general, to organize it--and then do something with it. And if you want to propose renaming the category, go for it: but you should know that I intend "female" in that category name as an adjective, and I think it follows general Wikipedia convention. But go for it, if you want to change that or something else, and keep me posted.

• BTW, I'm not quite clear on how this category name would be offensive, nor do I see what "when it is used to describe women who are not notable enough to be included in Wikipedia" means here. The category was for articles in Wikipedia, and if a term is offensive, it is so whether someone is notable enough for Wikipedia or not.

But I do have a serious request. Your German has got to be better than mine, but I just did a little original research (I'm bad, I know) and translated some at Aliceville, Alabama, it's in the quote box and in the name of the newspaper. Why am I putting German stuff into that article you ask? You'll see (or maybe you already know and I'm being presumptuous). If you could check my translation I would be eternally grateful. I briefly thought to ask if you'd drive 150 miles west and take some pictures of the place, but I thought better of it.

Thanks for the ping, Drmies.

I agree with Drmies that there's no fault with IPadPerson's removal of that edit in itself, and that the editor has been on relatively good behaviour in the month since the February ANI thread mentioned above.

Unfortunately, good behaviour does not balance out incivility, especially after repeated warnings. It's not a question of whether or not IPadPerson has read the warnings (given this removal on their talk page, they seem to view the messages as an annoyance), but of whether or not the editor is simply ignoring them. As a result I've issued a 48-hour block.

Out of respect for Drmies and in recognition of IPadPerson's good edits I'm keeping the block short. And, though the user has not responded to any requests for discussion so far, I would consider an unblock request if the provided rationale is convincing. m.o.p 17:19, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-16T17:19:00.000Z","author":"Master of Puppets","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Master_of_Puppets-2014-03-16T17:19:00.000Z-XXSNUGGUMSXX-2014-03-16T05:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2014-03-16T22:09:00.000Z-Master_of_Puppets-2014-03-16T17:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

• I'm sure you have, particularly for vandals.

Dear Drmies,

Is there room for discussion on the wholesale edits you and others have made to the article?

You made three contributions, each of which I would like to add thoughts on for your consideration and perhaps find a more reasonable solution than the ones you took on board.

1. COI TAG. on the flag, I take no issue with your removing it. I added it because I am a particularly patriotic American -- but does that seriously mean I have biased the article in such a way that you feel COI is necessary? I created my own USER ID in my name so there would be no ambiguity about my contributions to the page. I did so after receiving that advice from three different Wikipedia editors as a way to manage disruptive editing and vandalism of the article, which has been frequent and quite intense over the years -- you only need review the history to see this. That I added relevant biographical materials in the most neutral way possible, I do not see where I did anything wrong. I strongly object to any insinuation that I have somehow made the article less neutral. And I also object to the Red Pen or NeilN complaint that somehow the people of public note with whom I had material interactions throughout my life are now to be deleted wholesale because it embellishes my record. I did those things stated. And with the people involved, good bad or indifferent. What gives you or any editor at Wikipedia the right to take that away from me while leaving anyone to shout their slurs and insults at me on the page at will?

2. OVERLINKING. Your point is correct, but you should know that just as you complain about overlinking, other editors of the article complained and tagged the article as inadequately sourced. I spent two days going through the internet to find as many possible publicly available references to insure the article was well-sourced, and you in one chop of the axe simply negated the intent of that work. It's as if no one is ever happy.

3. SUDAN DOCUMENT. Why was this taken out? The purpose of including it was to demonstrate the precise language used by Sudan's dictator to make the offer to the United States -- an offer that I negotiated and hand-carried back to the Clinton White House. Why, when an image of a document that proves a part of the article's assertions, is it so wrong to include it? People often accuse me of misstating facts. I never do. But when the proof exists to make that point, why would you take that away from the article's level of accuracy?

4. FORMULA ONE SECTION. While you did not take that out, I want that point made to you as well as the others. The issue there is as follows -- I agree that it is a convoluted section describing a business transaction that has not yet concluded and is quite complex and drawn out. So it is fair game to be deleted wholesale. But it is a material matter in my biography, just as Memogate was, just as Sudan and Kashmir were. To remove it wholesale after having it be part of the article for nearly a year now makes it appear as if you have some knowledge that the F1 deal with Lotus does not exist anymore, and that is both factually false and currently and significantly misleading.

Is there no room for middle ground? Can I suggest a way to do that, or is that forbidden?

I think the changes made to the article in the last hours are unfair in the whole. I can be helpful as a resource to work with you to make a better version that incorporates and includes many of the changes suggested. But a simple hatchet job is not the right way to do it.

I ask that the COI tag be removed. I have done nothing to the article that adds personal bias, and I have only added information that improved the quality of the biographical sketch.

• Mansoor, thank you for your note, but all this is matter for the talk page. I'll say, quickly, that your patriotism is irrelevant: use of flags is covered by MOS:FLAG, and this one doesn't meet the mark. The tag, well, you are the subject, you are editing it extensively. That in itself is enough; it has nothing to do with the flag icon. But this is really a matter for the talk page, though I strongly disagree with your conclusion: the article is highly biased, most likely in violation of WP:BLP, and improperly sourced. And the precise language of the Sudan agreement cannot and should not be proven by a picture of a document; it runs counter to WP:SECONDARY, which is essential to the project--never mind that your involvement in any of it should be treated in agreement with what the sources say. Thank you.

• I don't have a clue what they might think, or why I should care about what they think, but I'll play along: if they had read our policy on personal attacks, and if they were mature adults who try to handle disputes without resorting to insults, they'd probably think that I should get dessert tonight and you should be sent to bed without supper.

• I wouldn't call it a tirade yet. Just ignore--or try to. We give editors leeway to vent on their talk page when they're blocked and that's what is still appropriate here, in my opinion. If they continue this after the block runs out outside of their own user talk space, or if it gets seriously worse, we can reconsider, perhaps with other admins weighing in (feel free to ask Dennis for advice--he's level-headed). And if they call you a bigot on their own talk page, well, just consider the source of the insult.

    • This is true, but the IP tracer shows it is in the same area as previous Zimmerman IPs. That's what I pounced on this one immediately. Plus, it was the same edits made to the same page as the IPv6 IPs from earlier. Since it is clear that Zimmerman isn't going to stop and refuses to listen to reason, that's what I suggested a ban discussion.

          • Neutralhomer, there are no guarantees in life, but a ban discussion has so little to do with your block log that I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, it's not really my issue, and you are better equipped to explain it (succinctly). So go for it, if you like, and I prefer ban discussions to be on WP:AN--but it may well be that this is deemed to be a minor disruption, where the banhammer is deemed to be redundant.

If you break the IPs down a little they fall into /18 or /17 ranges, and they tend to stay assigned to those smaller ranges for a couple of days, so it's possible to rangeblock them and not take out most of New South Wales. I just set a /17 block. There are four discrete ranges they're using. I had a list somewhere that I'd compiled, and checking against the rangeblock helper, nearly all of the edits from those ranges were from the harasser.

• So now I need to create Dennyzilla? I was thinking a CU because they have better tools to see which ranges are ok to go wide on and which need to be narrow. I don't mind doing /18 networks, but when it gets larger than that, I tend to ask someone who has more skills and tools than I do.

Can you or one of your stalkers who has familiarity with US spellings please have a run through Henry Scholberg? I've been working on it with Solomon7968 but I think that the spellings s/b US because the guy spent most of his time there. I've fixed some but people in the US spell so many words incorrectly (ahem!) that I will have missed a lot. Do you spell "comprised" as "comprized", for example? I've never noticed that particular one with "z" but the general rule seems to be "-zed" and "-zing" rather than "-sed" and "-sing".

We've got more development to do on the article but I think there is enough in it now to warrant a copyedit for the basics. Solomon has nominated it for DYK, so I'd like something that is at least presentable on the MOS front.

I don't think it's a rule, per se, but a general observation. This link[32] is in error when it states that "Verbs in British English that can be spelled with either -ize or -ise at the end are always spelled with -ize at the end in American English", as the above two examples demonstrate. That is assuming that those terms could be interchangeably spelled with a z in BritEng. In general, we usually "z" it, but not in every single case. It's complicated: but what isn't?

Here's my American interpretation, Sitush, but if Drmies disagrees with me, then he is right even though he is from Holland and I am from Detroit. He's just consistently right. OK, "Minnestota Starvation Experiment" is the proper name and should be capitalized. When we refer to it in shorthand as the "experiment" (or as the "study"), neither of those is a proper name; they are instead ordinary nouns substituting for the proper noun. Accordingly, "experiment" by itself should not be capitalized. But I promise not to edit war about it.

Yeah. Basically if it can be spelled interchangeably with "s" or "z", we Yanks will use the "z". If it can't be spelled correctly in BritEng (i.e. comprize), we defer to the creators of the language.

Hey Drmies, I've run across your name while editing/browsing Wikipedia in the past, and wanted to get somebody's opinion (I find approaching an experienced editor is more effective than posted to a talk page). The short version goes: I've created a History of Georgia Regents University page, and the appropriate sections on the Georgia Regents University page designate this page as the main article. As this exists, is it okay to change the current Augusta State University page (which is one of two universities that consolidated in 2013 to form GRU) to a simple redirect? As I state on my user page, I operate from a WP:COI even though I do my best to be WP:NPOV so I prefer running things by people before making potentially drastic changes such as this. Thanks for your time and advice!

• Well. In a nutshell, I think a separate "history of" article is fine, but I don't think that it necessarily the best thing to make the previous two articles nothing but redirects. If there is enough material, you could have four articles, and I wouldn't have a problem with it: easy to read, easy to click around, quick to load. I do think it makes sense to keep individual articles for the "older" universities. Does that answer your question? Mind you, you'd get different opinions from other editors, no doubt--perhaps some of them can weigh in here as well?

  As for the COI, I'm not so concerned about it (also since you announced it), but I have yet to read that notice that sometimes shows up on Wikipedia pages, about the "new" COI policy. I encourage you to drop a line on the talk page of CorporateM, who is the MacDaddy of COI editing.

Thanks for responding! I created the "history of" article only when supported on the Talk:Georgia Regents University page, so that wasn't done alone. I've actually done my best to make the "history of" page include most of what was on the Augusta State University page - the other university, I'm afraid, I goofed because I simply changed that page to what is now the Georgia Regents University page, but I've got enough that's well-cited from news sources to cover the big stuff (IMO). I think that's why I tend to think the ASU page could simply redirect...especially because as I look at it now, it wasn't created with a good amount of citations from credible sources. I do appreciate anyone's feedback on this issue....and thanks for the time!

A few notes

• Your username appears to be named after an organization and suggests that the account may in the future be passed down to other employees. This is not currently allowed in the English Wikipedia.
• Wikipedia is not a directory. Long lists of degrees-offered, departments, etc. is appropriate information for the university website for prospective students, but it is not of historical note - it does not belong in an encyclopedia
• I have not reviewed all of them, but at least some, perhaps most, of the articles on your user page look to me like they should not exist. We just need one article on the entire university, not separate ones on individual departments ("colleges"). The one I looked at also relied almost entirely on primary sources from the university website and basically acted as a mirror of it.

As for the subject at-hand, separate articles should be made for the predecessor organizations if combining them would surpass WP:LENGTH or if a complete history of one predecessor would overwhelm too much of the article. Another format is to create a sub-section for the predecessor organization's history, or to merely devote a few sentences to it, depending on how much content there is to add about it.

I can only guess what "crule" stands for, but unless it's the name of some element of the organization the username should not be a problem: "JohnfromSKF" is allowed, and I assume "crule" is something individual to the person.

GRUcrule my advice would be not to include personally identifiable information in your username. As a COI contributor, you are even more likely to attract off-wiki harassment and stalking than volunteers and even as a volunteer I would prefer being anonymous. However, it is a personal choice. Anyways, Drmies does have it right I believe, that a company name mixed in with something more personal is considered Kosher.

They tried to delete the list of winners - and all secondary sources - and left a short note to visit the ALA website instead.[36] This is evidently an attempt to drive traffic to the ALA website and deny Wikipedia the list winners. I left a note on the user's page and hope there is not a revert. Also, File:Logo of The Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction & Nonfiction.png is now a source of contention, they keep trying to add Copyright watermarks to a Fair Use image. Fair Use is exactly that, we don't need copyright watermarks - they can contest Fair Use in the appropriate forum. Or upload to Commons under some other license if they can prove ownership. -- GreenC 06:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-20T06:48:00.000Z","author":"Green Cardamom","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Green_Cardamom-2014-03-20T06:48:00.000Z-User:Librefgirl","replies":["c-Drmies-2014-03-20T15:44:00.000Z-Green_Cardamom-2014-03-20T06:48:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2014-03-20T16:05:00.000Z-Green_Cardamom-2014-03-20T06:48:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Green"}}-->

• Hey, thanks--yes, I figured there could have been an issue like that. If the awards were all verified with external sources we'd have a no-brainer case: "don't remove reliably verified information". We still have that case, though someone might say "it's easier to click the link". I'm glad you're onto the image thing, but there also I'll keep an eye out.

Thank you and everyone else for all your work on Olga Mesmer. This is the last time I will bother you with super hero's; I have decent references for my future additions. However the addition of Wonder Woman to the category fictional Super Soldiers was contested. She fought more battles in WWII than any other super hero in DC; Superman was rejected for being 4-F, having accidentally read the eye chart in another room during his eye exam. I don't think those exact words would be used to describe her at the time, but if Jedi count than Wonder Woman should as well; her adventures were read by far more members of the military; women, men and children. I think she is the first female super soldier; only one year younger than captain America; perhaps also worth mentioning for women's history month.

• Yes, Olga turned out to be quite a woman--thanks for bringing her to my attention, and please don't be shy in mentioning such topics or issues here: there's usually a talk page stalker who can help if I can't. As far as this matter goes, I can't be of much help; I suppose, from how you present it, that the argument rests on what "super soldier" means, and I have nothing to say on that topic. Sorry.

  • Well, I can tell you that the age being mentioned above is strictly real world dating of the comics so if this is a matter of dating the issues and when they came out, fine, but Wonder Woman is an immortal who only ages when she is not on Paradise Island. Plot wise, Princess Diana was actually trained in the art of war, given a uniform (somewhat resembling ancient Greek amour) and tested for battle. I would say there are probably RS that can confirm her as a super soldier in some form.--Mark Miller (talk) 21:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-20T21:48:00.000Z","author":"Mark Miller","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Mark_Miller-2014-03-20T21:48:00.000Z-Drmies-2014-03-20T21:40:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2014-03-20T21:55:00.000Z-Mark_Miller-2014-03-20T21:48:00.000Z"]}}-->

Part of this has its roots in a debate on whether there is justification to have a category marked for "Super Soldiers" which, when it existed, had little objective defining criteria of what to include. Let's say the boundaries of "What is super?" and "Who is a soldier?" were stretched quite a bit. Liz ^{Read!

7. List of Dish Network PPV channels
8. List of Dish Network Sport channels

^{A hacker is someone who loves to program or who enjoys playful cleverness, or a combination of the two.[3] The act of engaging in activities (such as programming or other media[4]) in a spirit of playfulness and exploration is termed hacking. However the defining characteristic of a hacker is not the activities performed themselves (e.g. programming), but the manner in which it is done: Hacking entails some form of excellence, for example exploring the limits of what is possible,[5] thereby doing something exciting and meaningful.[4] Activities of playful cleverness can be said to have "hack value" and are termed hacks[5] (examples include pranks at MIT intended to demonstrate technical aptitude and cleverness).So says Hacker (programmer subculture) Really? Since when is the hacker someone who became a romantic hero? And this has nothing to do with those guysHacker (computer security)?}

• Well, with the article protected there's little admin intervention called for.

• Ask Laser brain, via email maybe. You have to realize I don't know this editor at all. I may have interacted with them, for all I know, but the list of people I've interacted with is quite long. But, worse, I cannot say that I have "had" this dispute with them, or that I have tried to resolve it. So, unless you can find someone else, maybe some dissenter from that Album discussion (which I haven't looked at), Laser brain is your best bet.

Laser brain stopped editing a month ago after falling ill. So, RfC/U is the best way if you can jump through the right hoops. Nobody wants to tangle with Dan; they usually give-up and walk away.

This isn't about hoops. The idea is that there must be more than one editor who has a problem with another. If, with the unfortunate absence of one editor, you are the only one who has a problem, then it is entirely possible that you are that problem. Or you just need to look harder, and maybe edit and comment in a way to forge relationships so that when the time comes you are not all alone. In a collaborative environment that's a highly marketable skill.

You show me a diff of someone who has a problem with that editor, well documented and all, and you're here complaining to me about the process rather than writing up an opening statement for an RfC/U, asking the input and support from JG66? That sounds rather strange to me.

That's my point; they do not want to get that involved and neither does anyone else. Did you see my list of his 14 content disputes from this year alone? Do you have an alternate theory as to why he causes so much disruption only at articles about albums from genres that he does not himself spend any time improving? He has like 50 GAs, but only one is rock. Don't you find that at all suspicious? Shouldn't some of these dispute be at R&B and jazz articles?

I doubt that I made your point for you. My point is that you're wasting your time complaining. My other point is that if you can't find a single other editor to certify that RfC/U, then maybe the problem is you.

You got a sandbox full of someone else's content disputes? That's odd, unless you're planning to do something with it. Which you're not--or you would have done so. You're just asking me to investigate someone on the basis of what they write about and then agree with your complaint. Tell you what, he's got 50 GAs? I'd give him a barnstar for that.

Rschen, other editors' content disputes? Gabe, I'm no longer interested in this conversation. I don't care how many content disputes you have had, or how many content disputes you have recorded that someone else has had. (I assume you are the one designating his interactions as content disputes?) If you got something urgent, bring to ANI. Or start an RfC/U. Stop admin shopping: this one is not buying, and I don't think Bbb or John are buying it either. I have no reason to be on anyone's side here, and I probably agree that there might some Christgau pushing going on, but the way you go about this is just irritating beyond belief, as evidenced in your latest "How funny" comment.

Almost every comment I've ever seen you make has an element of condescending sarcasm, but I can't laugh at Christgau's inability to fact check basic information without you losing your patience? He's not a Hendrix expert, that's all I meant by "too funny". I wasn't snickering at you; I was snickering at Bob; he makes so many basic mistakes that his work is hard for me to take seriously. Take that with the way that he writes: "yeah dude, I was buzzing big time and it blew my mind man hard-core" and he is a great source like Walmart is a great store. Anyway, I hear you and I'll not bother you again. I'm disappointed but not at all surprised that you think that there might be POV pushing but since you don't like "the way I approach frustration" you'll look the other way. Nice ethics, dude!

• Better pics here, especially of the Shakespeare Room. I'm a demanding sort of chap, having had the prolonged experience of a copyright library at Cambridge, but one thing that strikes me from the pics is the, erm, distinct lack of books!

My dad went to Central Library the day after it opened in 1934, got his tickets and for the next 28 years he went weekly, borrowing one fiction and two non-fiction each time. I've no idea if he read the things, though! As for the one at Cambridge, that was opened by Queen Mary and the apocryphal story is that her words tickled the student population: "I am pleased to see the greatest erection in Cambridge". That follows from the oddity that it is Oxford that is referred to as the "city of dreaming spires"; Cambridge is, according to the sort-of Spoonerism, the "city of perspiring dreams". - Sitush (talk) 00:54, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-24T00:54:00.000Z","author":"Sitush","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Sitush-2014-03-24T00:54:00.000Z-Drmies-2014-03-23T22:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-Sitush-2014-03-24T00:57:00.000Z-Sitush-2014-03-24T00:54:00.000Z"]}}-->

User:Dennis Brown My local library is even smaller. It's in a strip-mall, but I basically just use it for inter-library loans to get articles from all over the country. OTOH, I pay an annual fee for access to the local university library, which is much better, even though they have a lot of limitations because I am not a student, and most of the time the stuff I need can be accessed digitally or - if not - I can pay another fee for them to scan a copy of the book/article and email it to me.

Those are British sources, I don't know anything about anything like that in the UK. But when I was on the West Coast last year and in Manhattan you'd be hard pushed to find a doughnut place not selling bacon doughnuts, it's become an in-flavor for things such as Maple bacon donuts. Hm, just found Luther Burger although I've never heard that name before. Had one from a street food vendor in Birmingham (UK) last year - actually surprisingly good. I made them at home also. I've got a magazine somewhere, probably on my Kindle, about bacon stuff, maybe it will help. How about chocolate bacon cake?[41]Dougweller (talk) 16:52, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-03-24T16:52:00.000Z","author":"Dougweller","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Dougweller-2014-03-24T16:52:00.000Z-Drmies-2014-03-24T16:31:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dougweller-2014-03-24T17:04:00.000Z-Dougweller-2014-03-24T16:52:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

• Dunnit. In my sandbox is an article on Prussian high-class pornographer Hermann Fenner-Behmer (I accidentally acquired one of his prints Saturday) "translated" from German wiki. Haffy might like to move it to mainspace (but I can't think of a DYK for it). And two photos of a bowl by Glyn Colledge- so the seller told me- apparently his stuff can be distinguished from the general run of Denby by the glaze flaking. Might be suitable for his page.

*shrug* You're not wrong, I suppose, but a thick skin should kinda go without saying when it comes to being an admin. And I don't know that it has anything to do with the admin bit specifically; it's more just what one gets oneself involved in. I'm sure there are admins that avoid dealing with socks, trolls, and assorted controversial areas and so don't get any colorful socks named after them, and I'm also sure that there are non-admins that do try to help with the trolls, etc. and do get them, so it is what it is, I guess.

Please take a look at this edit please. While it was unsigned, it's from Pete/Skyring. It immediately followed a post of mine. That presumably makes it a breach of our mutual IBAN. Many warnings have been issued in the past. I'd like to hope the response can go further this time.

A conversation on this has evolved over at User talk:John#Breaking IBAN, with all the usual "doesn't seem all that serious" types of comments from some Admins. Do the numerous warnings Pete has received not mean anything? HiLo48 (talk)

Hello Drmies,

There have been some further revelations concerning the disruptive editing on the above-mentioned talk page, which I have detailed at the ANI filing. As the only administrator to yet investigate the matter, I was wondering if I could impose upon you to look into the matter further. Specifically it has come to my attention that one of the two IP's involved (not the one you gave a warning to, but the other), is in fact a sock of autoconfirmed user Jono2013. Between these accounts and other IP's it seems he has long engaged in uncivil exchanges, legal threats, and general bad-faith behaviour with anyone who has attempted to correct promotional tone on the article in question, the subject of which he may have a COI regarding. The uncivil behaviour and disregard for a number of central policies (WP:V and WP:NPOV especially), extend back about a year and after reviewing the article's edit, talk and AfD history at length, it's become hard for me to imagine the situation on that article stabilizing without a topic ban or some other sort of direct administrative action. Anyway, hate to burden you with the headache, but I thought you should know of the developments.

• Well, there's this--Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jono2013/Archive. I note that Jono hasn't edited since 2013, and since there is no overlap in any recent contentious discussions it's not socking. The moment that both the registered account and an IP address are used it's a different matter, of course.

  • Yeah, he seems to have left off that tactic since his ban. I brought that to light mostly because it establishes just how how long his disruptive and severely vitriolic behaviour with regard to editors who disagree with him has been going on. To say nothing of his attempts to mislead or confuse process. In any event, it's to be hoped that your taking a firm line with him will pay off -- his ban for sockpuppetry seems to have taught him the better of that practice - perhaps this response will do the same regarding incivility. Given his long history of hostility and denigration towards fellow editors, I'm not exactly going to hold my breath on that one, but at least the editors there will have some breathing room and a chance to focus on the actual content rather than his histrionic antics. Thanks for looking into the matter!

    • He's at it again. He's continuing to denigrate the contributions and right to comment of other editors. I'm sorry, normally I would have given the matter at least a few days before bother you again, but he's now decided that it is within his rights to remove the posts of other editors in the talk page when they are critical of him.

I'm not sure how I ran into Twelve Visions Party and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party but the more I look at it it gets weirder and weirder. Its goals seem to include "Sexual immortality, have the sexy body of you always evied , internal romatic love, enternal love making, biolagical immortality/stop the process of aging , brint the child of the past, have the love of your life."[45] (spelling errors not mine), its leader is actually a trademark that runs a secret society that some people say is a cult, etc. Take a look at my comments and links. And Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Twelve Visions Party where it's advocates have to post now it's protected. It will be interesting if it survives AfD. The cult and secret society aspects are just weird (and not mentioned in the article, although I'm tempted to add to the article that their leader Mark Hamilton is a trademark. I'm not sure if we can use sites such as [46] for a living person, but if Hamilton is a trademarked name then it's not Hamilton who is the living person, is it? The party itself seems to be a weird adaptation of Ayn Rand's ideas. I once heard her speak when I was an undergrad at Yale. I was sitting next to her with our seminar leader - he seemed quite amused that I was making paper airplanes during her talk.
