It's here: [[Template:Did you know nominations/Gabor B. Racz‎]].  You might want to put it on your watchlist because it's sometimes necessary to do a little editing before it's accepted, but in this case I think that'll be minimal.  By the way, you should be quite proud of the minimal attention the article got from new page patrollers.  You probably didn't realize it, but those two or three small edits people made right after you moved it were just the tip of the iceberg of probably around a hundred people looking it over to make sure it wasn't too crappy to survive, and then it got assessed with a C by the bio wikiproject.

::Did you look at the main page and see it on there?  I took a screenshot for you in case you want a souvenir, which I can email to you if you'd like.

:::The article's main page, or one of the links on the banner?  Not quite versed in navigating DYK.  I would love a souvenir, Alf - thank you bunches, and thank you for the kind words, but I can't take full credit.  I had one helluva teacher in you!  Where do I get the widgets?  Oh, and I added the DYK tool, I think.  I need to read up on the DYK procedures, because right now it's all a bit confusing.  Once that light goes on in my head, I'll be on the fast track.  I also made my first template, and uploaded more pictures to Commons. That was fun, too.   Just have to be careful I don't grow roots in this chair.

Meow! This cat swings all ways, vax and anti-vax, and will accept homeopathy, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and milk. And kitten hugs.

''Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.  Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.''  *lol*  Thanks, {{u|Drmies}}.  If that cat ever authors a book about feline acupuncture, I'll do my best to include a section on the motivation and inspiration behind it.  In kitty language, CAM/Alt Med can only mean one thing - creature comfort. Cats are pretty amazing creatures, as I'm sure you're well aware.  Following is what ''homeo-pity'' meant to our 20+ yr. old barn cat who actually knew she was going to die.  I say that with conviction because of the events that led up to it, beginning with her rare visit to the house.  She stood at my front door meowing until I answered.  I didn't know what was wrong with her - she looked fine for her age - so I picked her up, and sat on the porch swing with her in my lap.  She responded well to a little love and attention; laid very still purring while I gently rubbed her head.  After I went back into the house, she stayed there in the swing.  I found her little lifeless body the next morning exactly where I left her.  She came to tell me goodbye.

<!-- [[User:DoNotArchiveUntil]] 16:00, 18 October 2024 (UTC) -->
Hi Atsme, I saw your post on Anarchyte's talk page and just now discovered your amazing work on Wikipedia. Why have you not yet applied for the Rfa? [[User:Xender Lourdes|Xender Lourdes]] ([[User talk:Xender Lourdes|talk]]) 00:34, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
:Thank you for the kind words, {{u|Xender Lourdes}}.  I actually self-reverted after I re-read A's user page and realized their userbox correctly displayed their time as an editor, which to me is pretty amazing considering all the accomplishments in such a short period of time.  And thank you Xender for your contributions and the excellent work you've been doing.  I actually have given some consideration to adminship but I'm not quite ready for it.  I occasionally help at DRN when I can - not as much as I should - and from time to time I'll close at ANI, but at this point in time, I very much enjoy working with the Equine Project team, creating articles, reviewing GA/FA candidates, improving/expanding articles for GA/FA promotion as well as helping others prep theirs, and I also enjoy spending time on Commons, providing photographs that are needed for articles, and helping review FP candidates.  It's "happy time" for me.  Admins have a huge responsibility, and to do the job right requires a great deal of time, patience, and understanding.  Perhaps after I achieve most of my goals as a content creator and GA/FA contributor, adminship may be something I'd consider.  <sup>[[User:Atsme|<span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme</span>]][[User talk:Atsme |📞]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]]</sup> 04:26, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

::*Atsme, you're most definitely welcome! It seems like there is a nice welcoming community after all on Wiki, just took a little while to find them. I do have a couple of follow up questions, as that TPUSA RFC was the first I had ever participated in as well as BLP noticeboard discussion. The experience was quite enlightening for a semi new editor. I tried to keep up with the BLP noticeboard activity but it hit the top of the queue and disappeared, I wasnt sure what happened with that, was there an arbitration ruling over it or is it just gone now? Also as far as the RFC there hasnt really been any new comments on it, and the consensus wasn't super clear on a direct verdict for the section in question (although there seemed to be unanimous agreement to trim it down a bit at the very least). What is the protocol now to resolve the edits on that particular section? Once again thank you for your time, its very much appreciated.Eruditess (talk) 7:39 pm, 16 July 2020, Thursday (19 days ago) (UTC−4) (reply)
:::*Hi, Eruditess! I read you loud and clear about the welcoming but I must say that you'll find many more welcoming editors away from the controversial topic areas like AP2. See the AE 2019 AP2 log for some insight. There is also Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log where you can find a list of the various topics subject to DS. Regarding the TPUSA BLP/N, RfCs and surveys, it doesn't surprise me when WP:PAGs are ignored - sometimes WP can appear to represent a microcosm of the anarchy we see in the RW. We also have WP:IAR, although I doubt that it was created with anarchy in mind, but that's debatable. I don't think it should apply to NPOV or consensus, but I'm only one voice. An admin should never use their tools or status if they are involved in a content dispute - I don't see how the two can be separated - and it does happen occasionally which tends to magnify the double standards. If it's a case where no incivility is involved and the editor still gets blocked, there are excuses for that, too, with the most popular being WP:CPUSH; however, I believe it aligns more with WP:POV railroad, intentional or otherwise - the behavioral patterns are obvious. Based on my own experiences, the prevailing perspective is whatever aligns with the Systemic bias in Wikipedia, especially in the AP2 topic area during a presidential election year. Few admins want to get involved in politics anyway, and who can blame them? It is highly divisive, so it's not hard to guess which POV has the most aggressive POV warriors, most of which are not hesitant to bully their way in. Look at what just happened over at the New York Times, something to which I can relate based on the bullying right here on my UTP and elsewhere, such as this question, this warning, the discussion that devolved here, which I attempted to clarify here and am now borderline regretting it, and this one. When you get a little time, you might consider reading the May Signpost op-ed, and also read How Woke Are We? with its included links. The best advice I can give you at this point is WP:DGAF and you'll be just fine.[[File:SMirC-mmm.svg|x20px|mm]] [[User:Atsme|<span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D"><sup>Atsme</sup></span>]] <sub>[[User talk:Atsme|<small>Talk</small>]]</sub> [[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]] 18:19, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

:::{{u|WereSpielChequers|WSC}}, the {{{{cold}}}} part came in loud and clear! Several years ago, I met a family who live in Nova Scotia and they invited me to visit them in Halifax. While there, I learned about the [[Northwest Territory]] and [[Nunavut]] based on stories they told me about family members born and raised in that part of the world and what they had to do to survive. It sparked my interest in producing a special for Discovery, so when I got back to the US, I submitted a treatment (pre-script). It captured the interest of an exec who walked it over to legal within a week of receiving it. Legal quickly squelched it because they considered parts of the documentary "too controversial". My treatment focused on the plight of the native peoples (modern day hunters and gatherers) and what they had to do to survive the cold, feed their children and overcome life-threatening obstacles in some of the most forboding areas in the world. At that time, the animal rights movement was at its peak, and apparently the need for human beings to eat and stay warm by utilizing animals (particularly white baby seals) is what legal considered controversial. <sup>[[User:Atsme|<span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">Atsme</span>]][[User talk:Atsme |✍🏻]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]]</sup> 12:44, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

:Hiya Atsme! I was speaking to this Leopard slug last night as it was crossing the road. It told me that it had been to three Christmas parties and was very drunk, and was going to a fourth. I said be careful leopard slug when crossing the road. It then asked if I had a cigarette but I said I was out of smokes. With that it became verbally abusive so I walked off.

::😂 Si, no one should have to put up with verbal abuse from anyone or anything. It’s a good thing you walked off when you did. You see, there’s a reason they’re called slugs, and you just happened to stumble upon a [[Boxing styles and technique#Slugger | Leopard slugger]] that was suffering nicotine withdrawal.

== The first few years ==
{{hat|My first year, 2011 & other boring highlights thru 2015. 👀}}

=== My first year, 2011 ===
I first signed up as a WP editor in 2011 and managed to do a small amount of editing.  At the time, I was still volunteering as exec dir for [http://www.earthwave.org Earthwave Society], a small nonprofit conservation organization I founded in the 90s to help save endangered species.  I was also quite busy with my [http://www.bettywills.com photographic career].  It took a few years to completely unravel from an all-consuming career as publisher of a regional magazine, and [[scriptwriter]], series producer and [[Post-production|post-production editor]] of local [[Network programming, (television)|network programming]], a bit of field work for [[CNN Headline News]], a weekly series for sports cable, and scripting features for [[Travel Channel]] programs and the [[Financial News Network]].  I eventually focused entirely on writing/producing/shooting/editing nature programming for [[PBS]] and international broadcast, and occasionally worked in cooperation with [[Virginia Tech]], the [[US Fish and Wildlife Service|USF&WS]] and several other federal and state resource agencies.

What I gleaned from my early experiences as a WP newbie bursting onto the scene was that it's best to make small edits in the beginning, and read [[WP:PAG]] to acquire a better understanding of "community", and what's expected from GF collaboration.  I went about it all wrong, and because I didn't understand how the WP community functioned, I was discouraged from editing altogether.  Reflecting on those experiences, I highly recommend [[WP:MENTORSHIP]] to new editors.  I also believe the following behavioral guidelines will prove helpful: [[WP:HEAR]], [[WP:DONTBITETHENEWBIES]] and the essay [[WP:AVDUCK]], the latter of which I created and co-authored.     
* [[WP:Edit warring|Edit warring]] will get you blocked.  New editors can become easy targets if they don't learn [[WP:3RR]] before they start editing.
* [[WP:GA|Good Articles]] and [[WP:FA|Featured Articles]] are typically overseen by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project team members]] - do not mistake the behavior as [[WP:OWN]].  GAs and FAs undergo a stringent review process; FA is the most scrutinized of all.
* [[WP:AGF|AGF]] (Assume Good Faith) is a term you will hear often.  It does work most of the time but when it doesn't, it may be time to review [[WP:Civility]] and the various essays that deal with behavior issues.
* "Lying is a strong word.  I didn't believe what they were saying." ~~ Michael Morell, former CIA, in response to a question about the Benghazi Report during a FOX interview, 05-12-2015.

I traveled extensively during 2012 and 2013 to hone my photographic skills, so I took a 2-year hiatus from editing WP.  There were long periods of time during my travels when I had no internet access.  It was all quite peaceful and a great way to wind-down from a fast-paced career in television broadcast.

=== 2014 learning highlights ===
In January 2014, I opted for semi-retirement which afforded me the opportunity to give something back as a volunteer on WP by sharing what knowledge I've acquired during a wonderful 30+ year career as a writer, tv producer, and photographer.  I am also an accomplished equestrian and rancher so my area of expertise covers those topics as well; ranching being the reason I may never be able to fully retire.  I learned some very valuable lessons in 2014, and am happy to say I've collaborated with some very patient and understanding editors who, for years, have voluntarily invested their time and effort into making WP an exceptional online resource.  They certainly have earned my respect and admiration. 

*The most important lesson I've learned so far: <i><b>I still have a lot to learn.</b></i>  But isn't that what keeps life interesting?
*Listen, observe, and try not to take criticisms and reverts personally, especially those performed by seasoned editors.  In fact, before attempting to edit an existing article, utilize the article's [[WP:TPG|talk page]], and begin a discussion about the changes or updates you'd like to make.  It's a common mistake for neophytes to jump right in, and try to change an article based on WP's open edit policy without first discussing the proposed changes with the stewards, or guardians of the article.
*Don't go into a discussion with preconceived notions.  Try to maintain an open mind, and a closed mouth which in Wiki talk translates into not posting when your emotions are in control.
*WP editors come in many different shapes and sizes from many different parts of the world with many different sociopolitical views.  You're not always going to win in a debate, and rightly so.
*Some of us will simply not be able to remember all the acronyms.
*Archiving one's talk page for ready access to discussions later isn't always as easy as slapping on a template.
*Composing an article from scratch is much different from editing someone else's work...most of the time.
*Be kind to newbies, even if you have to force yourself, and never forget your earliest days on WP.
*Composing an article from scratch, having it nominated to [[Wikipedia:DYK|DYK]], having few changes made during review, and being on [[Main Page|Wiki's main page]] is most AWESOME!!
*Good collaboration between in-sync editors opens the door to unlimited possibilities.
*Editing an article to GA status, and then nominating it for DYK is more than most AWESOME.
*Editing an article from stub to DYK eligibility, then expanding it to GA and eventually to FA in collaboration with knowledgable, veteran editors is an excellent learning experience. The FA review can be humbling, as it was for me with [[American paddlefish]], but I consider it an honor to have worked with and learned from such quality editors during the review process.  FA is a goal all editors should strive to achieve.

I'm sure that over time I will be adding more to my list of lesson highlights.  

*In 9 months, I was able to contribute to the promotion of 5 GAs, 1 FA, and 5 DYKs.  It's a flimsy record compared to that of the brilliant, code savvy, talented individuals I've had the honor of collaborating with but it makes me smile. [[File:SMirC-party.svg|20px|*<:o)]]
*Admins are people, too. A few need to use the [[Wikipedia:Archive|archive]] feature on their talk pages more often - the autobot archiver works well, and the [[Wikipedia:OneClickArchiver|One Click Archiver]] is pretty handy.
*There is so much more to learn.  [[User:Atsme|<span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme</span>]]<span style="color:gold;">&#9775;</span>[[User talk:Atsme|<span style="color:green;"><sup>Consult</sup></span>]] 20:42, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

=== 2015 learning highlights ===
Disruptive [[cabal]] editing is the gift that keeps on giving and the gift is a daily beating.  I don't think there is anything more detrimental to the project than a cabal with an axe to grind or a POV to push.  I think we defined it pretty well in [[WP:AVDUCK]].  If your purpose here is to contribute verifiable, well-sourced information that will help improve the encyclopedia, your experience should be a pleasant one.  However, if you stumble onto an article that is controlled by an advocacy known to engage in [[tendentious editing]] and reverts by [[tag-team]], you may be able to save yourself a lot of grief by heeding the essay's advice for seeking resolution.
<blockquote> 
In July 2015, I edited a handful of fish articles and was met with an unwarranted challenge at [[WP:COIN]] because of my prior affiliations as a volunteer with Earthwave Society, an all-volunteer, nonprofit conservation organization. I call it a ''COINoscopy'' because of how deeply the investigation probed into my RL, including personal domain registrations.  While [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard|COIN]] serves a useful purpose, the case against me was retaliatory and what I believed to be an abuse of the process.  I filed a [[WP:RfAR]] titled [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=671562985 ''COIN Abuse''] but my case was denied because I failed to seek other dispute resolution  first.  I won't go into detail regarding the circumstances but I will say that I was wrongfully accused of mismanaging a COI over a handful of fish articles.  I was also accused of a COI for an article I did not edit and for another article that was totally unrelated to the volunteer position I once held.  Everything I did, every edit I made was above board and in compliance with [[WP:COI]] and [[WP:PAG]].  I participated in a [[Wikipedia:3O|3O]] which resulted in an apology to me and that would have been the end of it had the apology been sincere. 
<br/> 
[[File:William_Shatner_frame_capture.png|thumb|200px|right|{{center|Oh, no!! Not another tribble!!}}]]
[[File:Tribble Dee Do.jpg|thumb|left|{{center|Wiki Tribble}}]]
Fortunately, most Wikipedians are neither retaliatory nor do they have bad intentions.  There have been instances when various biases have been an issue, and there are also issues relating to the [[WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias/Gender_gap_task_force | gender gap]]. I've experienced quite the gambit first hand, and while there were times I felt dominated by nothing but ill-will and was ready to call it quits, along came the magical bright spots of true collaborative editing which corrected the imbalance, all the while reminding me of everything that's good about being a WP editor.  Unfortunately, not all editors survive the onslaught of certain cabals but those who do are the real heroes in my eyes.  If they're reading my page now, they already know who they are and what I think about them so there's no need to mention user names. Instead I'll refer to them as Wiki Tribbles and hope they keep multiplying. [[File:SMirC-chuckle.svg|20px|^_^]]  I'll just put it this way, if you are among the editors I've collaborated with, past and present, and we've worked together in such a way that our disagreements didn't burn any bridges and we improved the encyclopedia, then I consider you a very special Wikipedian, and thank you for all you do and all you've done to make collaboration an enjoyable experience. 20:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC) 
<br/>

To top-off a significant portion of 2015, I've included a link to the trailer for ''Anger Management.'' I can relate to the Dave character.  Use your imagination for the role of Dr. Rydell.  It was pretty easy for me to think of at least a dozen people who fit the role perfectly: [http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi945792025/]  It's all in fun.  Enjoy!  [[User:Atsme|<span style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em; color:#A2006D;">Atsme</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Atsme |📞]][[Special:EmailUser/Atsme|📧]]</sup> 19:16, 20 September 2015 (UTC) <small>add new link</small> 12:36, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

|'''2015 in a nutshell'''
* Wrote my first essay for editors who think they've been confronted by an aggressive advocate or advocacy tag team which may also include sock puppetry.&nbsp;See: [[User:Atsme/sandbox Advocacy ducks|Advocacy ducks]] for guidance.
* If you think you're being harassed or hounded, you're not alone.  Don't lose your cool or say something you'll regret later. 
* Most admins deserve respect for what they do day to day.  There are the rare few who forgot to leave their biases at login. Regardless, [[WP:AGF|AGF]] and seek a [[Wikipedia:3O|third opinon]] from an experienced editor.
* Journalistic integrity is grounded in neutrality and so is encyclopedic integrity.  Read the following for more details: [http://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp SPJ Code of Ethics].
* Editing WP is a lot like bussing tables.  The minute you get one table clean, new customers come in and create a mess undoing all your hard work.  Not to be confused with coworkers adding condiments and cleaning up areas you may have overlooked.

=== Articles I either created or made substantial contributions to in a collaborative effort ===
#[[Gabor B. Racz]] - created and co-authored; it was nominated for DYK by [[User:Alf.laylah.wa.laylah]], included on main page at 07:20, on 26 April 2014, [[Wikipedia:Recent_additions/2014/April]], ....(Did you know)...{{xt|"that Gabor Racz fled Budapest in 1956 after the Hungarian revolution and went on to hold a million-dollar endowed chair in anesthesiology at Texas Tech?"}}; nominated for GA -  ✅ achieved GA.  Over a year later, July/Aug 2015, I was wrongfully accused of a potential COI which became the catalyst for a mishandled GA reassessment ([[WP:GAR]]) of the Racz BLP. Everything about that GAR was noncompliant with the suggested guidelines, including no prior discussion with the article's creator, no attempts to resolve what a few editors referred to as [[puffery]] or sourcing issues, and wrongful accusations of copyvio for close paraphrasing and copy/pasting a few statements of fact, specifically credentials and awards from a 60+ page [[curriculum vitae]].  It was later suggested that I validate the free use status by contacting the author(s) of the CV and a 2nd press release.  I did as suggested and provided free use statements by the author.  As a result of all the disruption, the article was demoted as a GA.  I have since added it back as a GA candidate and am patiently waiting for it to be reviewed.
#[[Alligator gar]] - substantial contributions, revamped/expanded the article, nominated for GA -  ✅ achieved GA, (#1 in Top 10 edits, and #1 in Top 10 by added text, (+19,919 bytes).

Collaboration is always welcome!!</s>  23:15, 6 August 2014 (UTC) <---Yet another coatrack in WPs stockpile.
#[[G. Edward Griffin|<s>G. Edward Griffin</s>]]  - tried to improve and expand but was met with resistance.  Not one of my edits remain so I stopped editing it all together.  It is now another coatrack.
