For you

El C, contrary to your edit summary- I noticed you were gone, and missed seeing you on recent changes. You are one of my favourite editors. This is for you. Regards, dvdrw 04:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! Many chipthanks for the kind words. Greatly appreciated. Best, El_C 06:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I noticed and missed you! (Official circular here). Novickas (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC) Thought of you while uploading this picture [1]... for all of your work. Novickas (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! El_C 11:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sort of in a hole and am having difficulties submerging. Speaking of holes/that chippie, I got to do some visiting in its burro recently...

Later, adding even more festive decorations, and inspected the whiskers:

And some drinky-drinky as well as rubbing under chin:

Also, two days ago I got to rub a cheekadee's tummy(!); for a handsome reward, of course:

You look really good in your purple hat! Bishonen | talk 00:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Free hat! Today, while cheekadeepetting, this lady who saw us from a far, came over and said: "Can I tell you something...? You're an angel of God."(!) To which I of course replied: "All hail Atheismo!" [nah, I said: "thank you, maddam, that's very kind of you" — what else could I say?] I took an especially neat cheekadeepetting photograph today: it remained visible between my thumb and index as it flew away, giving the illusion it was bee-sized! What an unexpected, and sweet, effect! El_C 02:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, Capitano, where do you get a large enough sweater for a person with that hand? Bishonen | talk 20:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

And then there's Skunky! El_C 14:00, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oooo. Purdy!

Seasons Greetings

Here's some peanuts for Hidey. He hasn't got any!

Hello. Thanks, SqueakBox 23:14, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wishing you the very best for the season. Guettarda (talk) 00:26, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thx, everyone! Happy 2009! El_C 12:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Groundhog Day

Chippies

El C, I've been meaning to ask for ages. What is the link between revolutionary socialism and chimpunks? Did I miss that bit in Animal Farm? Is it something to do with resting the means of damn making from beavers? --Joopercoopers (talk) 11:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No link; but are you referring to Groundhog? (see left) There is a Groundhog-Chippie connection, which I was trying to further cultivate (see right). El_C 11:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rev-dels

Just for information at the moment: are you able to do revision deletions? Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 19:47, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Affirmative. El_C 20:46, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. There are a couple of admins I usually contact when I see something that needs to deleted, but unfortunately they let real life interfere with their admin duties. You are online a lot at the same times I am, so it's good to have another person to contact if needed. I generally only ask personally if it's both serious and urgent. - BilCat (talk) 02:29, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, by all means. If I'm around, please don't hesitate. El_C 02:30, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much. I realize.my wording above presumes you'd be willing, and that I didn't actually ask, so thanks. :) - BilCat (talk) 04:01, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can live with your highly arbitrary closing summary of the RfC on the Talk page, so I do not want to persuade you to change it. However, you closed other on-going debates as well. Could you open the other debates? Thank you. Borsoka (talk) 05:57, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the thanks I get! El_C 05:58, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Thanks, Gerda!

El_C 08:24, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Good day, see? Take music and flowers to your liking ;) - It's great to see your name so often on my watchlist. One area where I often wait for admin action - not now - is WP:ITNN, where we nominate for recent deaths to be shown on th Main page, and often the time between an article found [Ready] and then is [Posted] seems [too] long to still call it recent. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:32, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, good ol' ITNC —where I got no credit for being the first to have

Posted the Corona virus outbreak, but upon (admittedly, perhaps somewhat prematurely) doing the same for the Kirk Douglas RD got a what-the-fuck-barbeque— it's a magical place! El_C 11:28, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see, sorry for touching some wound ;) - Same for me: last year, I nominated a great pianist for RD, after I first had create an article which took time, and then carried away to also make it decent, - and by then her death was so long ago that she wasn't mentioned at all. The more woman, and the more foreign, that danger seems imminent, and if I may bother you in case I seee it coming again, that would be great. At present, it's a man, listed 20 Feb (although who knows if that was the day?), and nobody even commented yet, so nothing to be concerned about right now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:27, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, by all means, if you feel Peter Dreher is [Ready], let me know so I could do the honours. El_C 12:53, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated him, so am not the most independent to judge ;) - and I'm already busy with the next, a woman, but mostly not foreign. - I really think we have some unintended bias there: the most prominent figures (white U.S. males) get speedy attention, and appear soon at the top position, while the female foreigners - often reported late to start with - take so long to even be noticed that they get only a place towards the end, finally, - as long as we go by date of death and not "in at the top". Result: those who are promminent already get preferred showing, more in front, and longer. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:04, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, countering systemic bias is a treacherous mistress — though in the case of Kirk Douglas, I have to admit my own affinity for his admirable work countering the Hollywood blacklist... Anyway, +Peter Dreher to RD. El_C 13:16, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, love-ly! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:42, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the poet for ITNN. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was quick! I helped? El_C 17:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

think so ;) - today's Alte Liebe became especially meaningful after yesterday's funeral. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:21, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Next foreign women RD: Odile Pierre. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: sorry for the belated response — I overlooked your last message. Apologies for not being able to assist with that one. Please don't hesitate to list more. I'll try to be more cognizant of this thread next time, I promise. El_C 03:28, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda's corner

To help me better remember! El_C 05:10, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda’s corner is lovely. When I have more time in my life and can do things beyond blocking socks, I plan to spend time there getting some of the Holy Thursday hymns on the main page. Gerda, if it’s not too late to find one, let me know. The Pange Lingua is always a first choice, but if there are any others you can think of, I’m open. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:26, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, El C’s talk page is lovely, especially for his hosting my musing about music he likely doesn’t care about one iota! TonyBallioni (talk) 05:28, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I like all kinds of music, including of the eclectic and esoteric variaty — lately I've been Dimashing it up (special thanks goes to Jasmin Ariane!). El_C 05:32, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely corner, thank you! Today is The day of music, two choirs singing. I'd like Beati improved - but it's in the evensong, perhaps I'll get to a few more lines. On IWD, I should also get Elinor Ross in better shape ... - but singing comes first. Listen to Beati by voces8, another article needing improvement. Singing comes first ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:41, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On the ITNN page, 6 Mar, Carsten Bresch. We will possibly never know when he died, but should use 6 - when the world was informed - as the day by which we go. I may be alone with that view ;) - Lovely lively colours! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Expect the sky to fall at ITNC — posted with Mar 0? (!). El_C 13:34, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for posting, and I added "Posted", but don't want to pass credits. DYK you know that it is as easy as clicking on the words "credit" in the nom? Nice progress on the soprano, but out for singing (alto), second round. A good source for her death would be a nice addition, anyone. this is all Spanish to me, and the English one is a blog. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

nom done, and the credits were done by someone else - bedtime --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:19, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sleep tight. El_C 23:27, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

done also, and she's there - today's topic seem to be errors (3) in the OTD section of the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:28, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amakuru took care of that! - What should I do about this decline? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:58, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you're confident it's good, I would move it to main namespace nonetheless. El_C 10:07, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How about you? - I asked the decliner for reasoning, but got no answer. I think it might be better if it's not a personal thing between them and me, so an independent pair of eyes might help. - I don't go via AfC, nor does my friend LouisAlain, but last year many of his translations were sent to draft space, for lack of refs, just because de and fr have different ideas about referencing. I try to rescue, that's all. Then get a ridiculous template on my talk recommending the Teahouse, and still see the ridiculous decline template recommending to seek help from an experienced editor, - the things we do to voluntary contributors ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Mainspacified. And I didn't even visit the Teahouse! El_C 13:37, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

pacified ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for tagging me, El_C!

Concerning Dimash: Oh wow, I really didn't expect that! But I'm happy you enjoy it!

It's funny, it's not even a genre I usually listen to. But the first time I heard him 2 years ago, I immediately loved his music. I love his voice, his emotional interpretation; and his vocal skill, range and versatility are just enormous. And he seems to be a very nice and humble guy, which makes it even easier to like him.

PS: "eclectic and esoteric variety"? Wow, that sounds interesting. Jasmin Ariane (talk) 21:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

♫ Welcome to the corner, Jasmin! Yes, I love Dimash's Sinful Passion, New Wave, SOS d'un terrien en détresse, Ogni Pietra (Olimpico), Opera 2, and more. Indeed, music-wise, I'm all over the place. Yesterday, I was listening to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, I'm listening to Charlie Byrd right now (because I love bossa nova, above all else), and I'm listening to the China Philharmonic Orchestra in the car currently. So, yeah, all over the place. Welcome, again! ♫ El_C 16:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda's February corner

Want a drink in darkness? - Schloss Freudenberg --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:38, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow, I don't really see that concept spreading to other bars... Back to out previous conversation, somewhat, a different kind of Green: "MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE - A Randy Rainbow Song Parody" (just released). El_C 14:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I missed Mathsci for two years. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Criss-crossing paths... El_C 15:16, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BWV 1, concertante violin 1 --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:19, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, I remember seeing that. El_C 15:24, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you ever click on Reformation on my user page, first occurence? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have clicked on all of the (longstanding) links on your userpage. El_C 16:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am impressed. ... and follow to what the first 2 had discussed, and used, and then one of them needed it, and probably had known that all the time? ... which was my user page lead until 2021 when I decided people hovering over my name should see a pic I took. The last time I used it was for Cassianto, 24 May 2020. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but otherwise, your userpage isn't easy to parse, due to the fact that you actually use it. I edit mine like once a decade. El_C 18:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I copied that from BarkingMoon including the top icon - a bird on the Main page today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Love it when the Main page gets that much colour. I noticed that article yesterday and thought: wow, those birds are almost as iridescent as Hummingbirds , which are... well, kinda the best! El_C 18:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

yes --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Opa is now on the Main page, Wilhelm Knabe, who stood up for future with the striking school children when he was in his 90s, - a model, - see here. - Further down on the page, there are conversations about the current arb case request - I feel I have to stay away - in a nutshell: "... will not improve kindness, nor any article". - Yesterday, I made sure on a hike that the flowers are actually blooming ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:13, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yay for Green Opa! This made my day!

El_C 16:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Birds of a feather

Bitter-sweet groove (translation unavailable on request!)

Spiel nicht mit den Schmuddelkindern ... anticipated protest --- and listen, not to me, but the music (in the article) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... and after the music, please listen to User talk:Nikkimaria --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:39, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. There's a YouTube video at the bottom of the page, but it's just some people talking in German (which I don't-Opa-understand) alongside some German folk music (not my cup of tea). Then, you link to Nikkimaria's talk page as an ill with numbers and stuff, but it still only links to their main user talk page. Quite confusing. El_C 13:48, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

entirely my fault, I thought I had the video in the article, but no, only on the talk of Martinevans123, and when I'm absent-minded, I confuse ill and diff, Nikkimaria. But hurray, I just expanded the soprano, sufficiently I hope. Need fresh air now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't really like that song. Didn't dislike it either. Was just kinda meh. Personally, I prefer the Israeli children songs I grew up on, like הילדה הכי יפה בגן, for example. El_C 16:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Degenhardt would have been delighted! Not a song to be liked, - did you read the quote which I translated (improving on Deeple) per the talk request. Song talk about unpleasant smells, ending with a crime and a corpse swimming ... while the surviving grubby children keep singing that you better don't play with them. - Thanks for yours. Did you read my advice for M? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did not. Quoted where? Also, after Opa, I'm afraid to ask, but what's a "Deeple"? Yes, I saw it. Sound advise, but I'm still concerned that further cognizance will nonetheless be needed in order to avoid utter disaster in the future. El_C 16:45, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

my next mistake, DeepL - as you know everything about me you'll know that I am an infobox warrior who had to be restricted by arbcom to prevent utter disaster in the future. For 2 years I was too proud to appeal. I should have known SBHB's advice in the case, but then we might not have gotten to Beethoven ;) - RfC for Ian Fleming, and I stay away, I stay away, I don't play that game any more - please, be never afraid to ask! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Matti Caspi laments about how many songs can even be created, but does so in a song he created (כמה שירים אפשר להמציא בכלל), so there you go. Take that, eternity! El_C 17:13, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda doesn't lament but enjoys the support by Brian, continued when others called her guilty, - always trying to mediate. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tis the season for bitter-sweet...? Also, trying something (top of section — EEng uncredited mention). El_C 18:45, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

look --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:34, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

did you? - interesting bitter-sweet today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did in passing, but I just am not in the headspace for riddles today, I'm afraid. But I did like File:Idstein,_Unytsjerke._Oersjoch_ynterieur.jpg. Almost-but-not-quite grand; warm but-not-quite gaudy. Sorry, I haven't heard of that translator before. Did you know her, personally? El_C 23:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The church pic - as you will have seen - is in my user infobox for 2021. I don't know the singer personally, but she sang for us several times, Bach's great works (all explained if you follow the link, also (below there) that some like to receive my thanks and appreciation), and she sang recently in cantata services that I pictured (her page). On all these pictures, she is too small for "about her", and my lead is smaller "about me", of course. - I knew nothing about the translator, but she was a red link on Deaths in 2021. The bitter-sweetness is between her and her ex-husband, a novelist with an article who wrote her obit. (They had four children when they were divorced, and now he has ten.) - The delegate called me to task for the Bach cantata, so I will have to not follow spontaneous impulses for a few days, - hope no one dies whose article has to be written. In the cantata, BWV 1, I have a problem. The article was all built on one source (and all other Bach cantatas at the time also, btw) which one user denies reliability. I wanted to keep it, supporting it for all facts - only recordings, anyway - by a second source, trying to be faithful to the article history and to retain what editors did before me. He removed it. Quite generally, I have a problem with expansions which ignore what former editors achieved, see BWV 53 and Ian Fleming for recently mentioned examples. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, just read that at: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/feb/08/dr-vera-wulfing-leckie-obituary — I see what you mean. Right, I knew it (the church) looked familiar. Hope you're able to resolve your BWV 1 problem. I'd offer to help, but I'd probably just mess it up, anyway. El_C 16:55, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You will not mess anything up if you look at the old ref and tell me if it looks despicable to you, just for curiosity. The article was like this when I began "taking over". - Did you see this trying to revert a takeover? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:36, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It does not look "despicable" to me, but I am far from an authority. This is not an area with which I am familiar. El_C 18:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, helped. I just found this (having searched for Thomanerchor) and look what is bolded, and praised. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Helleborus orientalis

happy Valentine's! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:14, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, for you, too. Did an English translation of a song at User_talk:El_C#Us, btw, and am about to submit another ("US," itself), so check it out! El_C 16:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to put 2021 storming of the United States Capitol under WP:1RR

@El C: @Octoberwoodland: Continuing this discussion, I'd like to request that 2021 storming of the United States Capitol be put under WP:1RR (I guess that would be Template:American politics AE?). How do I make such a request? Post to WP:AN? Or can an admin (i.e. you :-)) do that without a formal request? — Chrisahn (talk) 23:59, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chrisahn, right, you ask me, here, like so. But can you show that there is a lot of protracted edit warring going on? Because I'm wary of throttling a page that sees that much activity. Not sure why you pinged Octoberwoodland here. They are not an admin, so they do not have the authority to grant your request. El_C 00:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, there hasn't been much edit warring. Just like Octoberwoodland, I thought the page was already under 1RR, and I thought it would be useful. But if you'd rather not do it yet, that's fine with me as well. If problems do arise, I'll come back here. But I hope it won't be necessary. :-) (The ping was just because Octoberwoodland started the discussion at Alalch Emis's talk page and might want to chime in here.) — Chrisahn (talk) 00:21, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just understood that moments ago (the ping). Anyway, in general, restrictions are added by need only. The general consensus among admins is to wait and see, and only if needed add 1RR. And if that isn't enough, only then move on to additional enhancements, like Consensus required (i.e. gradual escalation). Regards, El_C 00:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation! These processes are more fine-grained than I thought. Probably a good thing. Although I'm afraid I won't remember the difference between {{ds/editnotice}} and {{ds/talk notice}} a week from now. :-) — Chrisahn (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just type T:DSA (all listed at the bottom), otherwise, who can remember! El_C 00:56, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is time I knew more about do's and don'ts applicable to infoboxes. Could you let me have the link to any WP that applies to Infoboxes as such? Qexigator (talk) 17:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm far from an authority on infoboxes, Qexigator, so short of pointing you to the MOS:INFOBOX-obvious, I would just advise you to avoid WP:ARBINFOBOX2 at all cost! Regards, El_C 18:13, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some users get hot about infoboxes, while for others it's the normal thing to have. Before adding an infobox to an article without one, check for warnings in edit mode, and for discussions on the talk page. Recent example Ian Fleming, nonono. Those who made the article as nice as it is today don't like it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:23, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! See what I mean, Qexigator? *Pokes Gerda* El_C 18:25, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link to MOS:INFOBOX. This comfirms my experience when I have been looking at or editing other well-established articles on impottant topics: the infobox is 'to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored,,,The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance,' If well done, they can be very helpful when needed.'

I would have liked to add the pic to context, but can't tell ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are you referring to he:קובץ:Ubud_Cremation_4.jpg, because that is one scary dragon! El_C 08:51, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

yes ;) - that pic was taken by my much-missed friend who made the good version for Ian Fleming, and my illustration for the infobox wars (see the link to the workshop, and in my 2020 talk archive). - On the other topic, Bach, we have now another ANI, by Smerus, Nikkimaria is fighting, I shake my head and try to look away, and Mathsci is still blocked. How many more editors in good standing are going to be burnt? - I like the singers music, but the images best when I see him, not graphics. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! All roads lead to Ian Fleming, it seems.

Also, you're making me sound like the grim reaper, but I just want to pet a chipmunk! El_C 11:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Innisfree Garden

Back from sun and snow: sorry if that landed wrong. I was a bit in a rush, and reacted to "all roads lead to IF". I don't care about IF, at all, the number of my edits to his article is zero, the number of my edits to the talk page is zero. I had not thought of him in years until the ongoing RfC, and my edits will remain zero. I use his name as an example, because - with the RfC going - I can mention it, otherwise if I mentioned a name from the group someone would come and cry "canvassing".

I thought about the animosity, and what I can trace back (because I really don't understand it), and looked at what I wrote about Ian Fleming on the page deleted as a call to battle. I made a note of the name, that it was infobox person (red background indicating that it was lost) and the above-mentioned diff of a good version from 2012 piped to the date. That's all. I had forgotten until I looked it up now that my friend had made the good version. When we lost him (later that year) I spread the image all over the Wikipedias, even Hebrew (with some help from a friend from Jerusalem). My first reaction had been to leave, but then I didn't want to do his enemies that favour ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:30, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, that is some lovley greenery. So nice. Also, you can CANVASS me any day, Gerda, but should probably note my propensity to call (!)voter fraud whenever things don't go my way (diff). Anyway, trying to take it easy today, with the occasional bouts of critical drinking. El_C 19:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, easy today, will explain "canvass" some other day, also why I think the animosity is inherited, because the listing described really doesn't explain it, - although I can see (now) that the red background - about as red as your top image - could be seen as inflammatory. But a reason to leave Wikipedia? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:17, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Easier today, with progress on BWV 1. Back to the beginning, Hebrew: we miss Yoninah, terribly, and one of the many things she would have done for me is adding the text of a psalm to the article, compare Psalm 45 and Psalm 43. The text can be found at the bottom, in External links. I could probably manage but would feel safer if someone did it who could actually read it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Oh, good, glad to hear it. Yup, I well know Yoninah for her top-tier contributions. I wouldn't count our losses yet, though. She's only been gone less than a month. Hopefully, she'll return soon. *Sending positive vibes* El_C 11:01, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! Dangerous terrain (diff), who would have thunk it? (Seriously, I didn't.) El_C 11:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. I confess to being puzzled (diff). Anyway, pinged you to User_talk:Veverve#Psalm_43_query. Hopefully, my confusion can be assuaged. El_C 11:32, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

did it? (I had an edit conflict there) - thank you for a new word, "assuaged" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Guess what, ~~BWV 1 and~~ BWV 159 make progress. You mentioned AE. I was there, last 2015. It was so awful that I dropped all pride (and it felt like giving up walking uprightly - watch out for Psalm 110 there) and appealed (and even successfully so).

You are welcome! I made a hook, also for you.

Did you know ...

... that Universalkünstler
Arik Brauer
created paintings in Fantastic Realism,
songs in Austropop,
stage sets for the Paris Opera,
and house facades in Austria and Israel?

(17 February 2021)

One this day nine years ago, I told Voceditenore that she is a voice of opera and reason. In 2018, she said: "And, no, there haven't been infobox squabbles in ages. I personally use them all the time now for biographies and operas. There are a few diehards left, but the general attitude from both perspectives seems to have settled on live and let live." So why is it that some still can't settle on live and let live? - The next cookbook author is scheluded to appear as TFA (with a nice infobox btw, as the last), and I will keep the usual thanks to the creator for myself as insistent, but I don't understand. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:54, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Love the artwork of Arik Brauer — nicely done! Ah, the vicissitudes of infoboxen, its ebbs and and flow. What a peculiar thing it is. El_C 14:55, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't. It could just ebb. In 2018, it was no concern. Why is it now? Why can't we just edit the little boxes as other content: someone adds, and if someone reverts, consensus needs to be established. Instead, someone adding, or requesting, or just asking where it went, is considered a warrior. The question where it went often goes like this: when a certain group of editors expanded an article, they collapsed it (thinking that was a compromise, but making life harder for those having physical trouble to click the "show" button). That caused a little edit-war, which was "resolved" by taking it away completely, with a discussion like this on the talk following. Ever since, we have been reminded that there was this consensus not to have one, and we are supposed to believe that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For sure, I am like-minded with you in that interpretation. WP:ONUS should generally be observed, like elsewhere. Indeed, there really isn't an excuse for not doing so. In theory, per WP:ARBINFOBOX2, WP:ACDS allows admins to just straight-up make it (ONUS) a requirement by adding Consensus required to intractable infobox disputes. My sense is that most admins just do not want to touch these because it usually ends up amounting to a zero-sum game, at best — myself, I don't really engage infobox disputes in an AE capacity, because the history and politics AE topic areas keep me busy enough (diff). El_C 16:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are almost no "intractable infobox disputes", really, so DS serves no purpose. The problem is that a newcomer who has no idea of a minefield is treated as a warrior. - I love your translations. We should have more us. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:36, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, understood. Admittedly, I do not have a firm grasp of what's happening on the infobox front. RE: translations. Many thanks! I appreciate your praise very much. Also Val's. Strange how it took me hours and hours to do the first one, an hour to do the second one, and 30 minutes to do the third one. But I think I'm now finally satisfied with the final form of all three translations, so at least I'm done with the constant tinkering (though not to jinx it!). El_C 16:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For more understanding: imagine - if you can, it takes courage - for a moment that back in 2012, the infobox had been kept as it had been for years then already. Imagine. - Certainly thanks to presentation here, Arik Brauer made it to the stats, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:48, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not usually a fan of princes, but here's one that really did music-it-up! El_C 12:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree about Johann Ernst! The Little Prince never gives up a question, "the prince has golden hair, a lovable laugh, and will repeat questions until they are answered". How do you like the beginning of reception? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:50, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One of my favourite books growing up... Reception looks great to me. I think he did a fine job. Top tier musicology. El_C 16:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but who is "he"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"You know, that guy — who always wore a shirt." Oh, sorry, did you write that, with him just having merged it? It's a low attention span -day today, so brace yourself! El_C 17:04, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nonono, I could never write such a thing (+ I'm not a "he" as the writer is, and yes, the obvious "he" just merged it). Two ways to the answer: you follow the links in the edit summary (better the second), or you look at the new article's talk page. Unless you just guess why I come to you of all people with this question, and may guess right. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A riddle — noo! There better not be a math and science test at the end of this! El_C 17:21, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

test? first question in this thread has one (!) link, leading to the initial entry of a new article, with two (but I said better second) links, with the second leading to where an estimated 95% of the content came from. [2] - a fine job, indeed, not my style, but fine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hoping for a D-. That would be about right. El_C 17:57, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An unblock would do. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda, for reasons which are my own, attending to this dispute, in any administrative capacity, just isn't something I wish to engage at this time. Sorry. El_C 20:42, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. Appreciation of outstanding work is better. You can tell other admins where the clue is - my lead image until 2021 came, remember? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, happy to pass on genuine positive impressions, always. Yes, I do. Breathtaking, primordial. El_C 22:26, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The second thanks in August go to you, for help with Hebrew, and your spirits! My 12th today, DYK? I decorated, also for a birthday. Songs invite to more music, places, food and flowers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

B.B. said: that's okay. Yay for random insurance guy who is a patron of the arts! El_C 14:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Define random ;) - I like coincidences such as: he has a daughter Ildikó, which isn't the most common name, and she was invited to enter the Austrian army because people thought the "o" indicated a man (and she considered going to that meeting for the fun of it). One of four soloists in yesterday's concert: Ildikó - pictured in "songs". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't quantum superposition me! I wish she'd have gone for it. Would have been some major lulz. Ah, a celloist, my woman! El_C 14:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link! - I watch the TFA today (but will take it off tomorrow). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:54, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Today: 2 interesting DYK (I think), sadly 2 who died (on top of 2 from Poland yesterday), and a concert in which Daniel Barenboim just played piano, with this wonderful orchestra of players from Israel and Palestine, conductor from Israel, - and afterwards he and the orchestra received last year's prize (pictured). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:58, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Today: 3 DYK, including that the author dedicated a summer story to a license plate number ;) - Five rows of images added, sunflowers and butterflies continued, four rows of 15 August alone, - a rich Monteverdi day, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chips

I agree that semi-protecting the article was necessary, but I wouldn't have done it for two months as you just did. A duration of one day or even just a few hours would've been sufficient enough. The vandals will soon see that it's protected and simply move on... That's how it usually works. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:51, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oshwah, while I'm not familiar with that sock/master, I'm actually comfortable with 2 months seeing as it's a WP:DAB page. El_C 02:54, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, they started doing this on Aug 5, so a "few hours" — really? I think you're underestimating this sock's dedication. El_C 02:58, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also also, I don't want to make this into a thing, Oshwah, because I like you and I think you like me, but I gotta tell you, that That's how it usually works is kinda rubbing me the wrong way. We've both protected a lot of pages, me +8,200, you +820 (flex!), so I dunno, maybe assume that I already know how it usually works... El_C 03:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

El C - I like you a lot, El C! I apologize if that statement came across the wrong way. It wasn't my intention at all. Don't take it the wrong way... I wasn't aware that the vandalism goes as far back as the 5th. I apologize for the mix-up there. What I simply meant to say was that users who vandalize (even heavily like that) on a page for less than a day - I protect the page for a few hours, and in most cases (at least in my experience), the vandalism usually stops after it expires. Again, I obviously wasn't aware of the full situation here, so please accept my apologies for the bad assumption. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:56, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, we're good, bro. El_C 03:59, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good. :-) The last thing I want to do is offend and piss off a fellow editor and admin - especially one that I've grown to respect. Thanks again for responding, and I wish you a great day and happy editing. :-) Keep in touch! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to ask you, if you could Review the latest edits by this User.

Good day User:El C,

Thanks a lot for your time and additionally, thanks for your help.

Currently I am on vaccation and I am using my phone. Its quiet annoying to copy/paste, linking,.... etc.

Thats why I requested help thru your talkpage instead of the noticeboard (because it was easier to do thru the phone).

As I said, thanks a lot.

Have a great day.

TRM

Saw your ArbCom reply. I agree. TRM has been absolutely mellow during this Cold Feast. I think he was just a victim of the piece. I'll be happy with the outcome if BHG can grow beyond her present limitations. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:21, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, DFO, as the crux of my statement emphasized, there does not seem to be shortage of violations to go around. And BHG, Piotrus and Llywrch (perhaps a singular slip there, though) seem pretty covered on that front. But, yes, the claim that TRM has also slipped, I've seen no convincing evidence of that.

Why did you block the Coronavirus variant article indefinitely?

Good morning El C. I am wondering why you have blocked Variants of SARS-CoV-2 indefinitely. I have clicked on your WP link for an explanation but it refers to editing disputes, which is not the case here. I would be grateful for your explanation. 2A00:23C6:5497:8B01:12E:D663:414B:A1FC (talk) 08:11, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, IP. In answer to your question: that particular semiprotection was an Arbitration enforcement action, a protection action which was largely enacted so as to ensure that the standards set in Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) are upheld (example). See also the FAQ for that guideline. See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/COVID-19 for the full case. Actions to enforce the decisions of that case are logged at Wikipedia:Arbitration_enforcement_log#COVID-19, with protections, specifically, logged here. Let me know if you have any further questions. El_C 09:01, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for answering. I agree that in the long run we should endeavour to cite medical textbooks etc. But at the beginning of a new disease, or new variants as in this case, such textbooks do not yet exist. I think you are setting the bar too high at this early stage.

Specifically with regard to your example, the "D614G" sentence is not only correct but also important. This mutation happened in the B1 type and is therefore found in all currently globally expanding variants. This is mentioned only indirectly in the article but not made clear. Hope you can fix it. Otherwise please unblock and let others do it. By the way, I did not write that sentence nor do I think it is adequately sourced. But if you leave it in place, future editors can improve on it, but only if the article is unblocked. No need to reply, I must get back to work now.2A00:23C6:5497:8B01:7DBF:7A99:66AC:D5A0 (talk) 14:09, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IP, I'm not going to do that. What I've done is the prevailing practice atm. If you wish to address any outstanding issues, you're welcome to do so on the article talk page (Talk:Variants of SARS-CoV-2). That's largely what it's for. If you wish to edit the article directly, you may do so by registering an account and gaining the WP:CONFIRM tenure, which isn't too high a threshold (10 edits / 4 days). I can't really comment on that example, specifically, as I lack the knowledge to do so, but the strict sourcing requirements of WP:MEDRS as currently applied to the pandemic is what it is. It isn't something which, I, myself, had set by fiat. In fact, like yourself, I'm on the record that in certain respects, the bar indeed should be lowered, but right now this does not seem to be the general sentiment. But I do hope that changes sooner rather than later. Wishing you a good workday, El_C 14:44, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commagene

Dear El_C, I left a message earlier asking you for a third opinion in Talk:Kingdom of Commagene#Recent revert. I also used WP:THIRD, with no replies back. Please consider looking at that talk section and if you'd be kind enough, give your opinion as a third party. I can't resolve that dispute, I'm starting to think that the editor has a certain POV and uses their much higher experience as bullying tactics. They reverted my edit again without even replying in talk diff. I feel like I'm starting to repeat myself, and I can't come to a conclusion with the user. Hoping that you could help to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance. Regards, ZaniGiovanni (talk) 16:43, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand you El_C. I really wouldn't have asked if I had any success in establishing some sort of an agreement with the user.

You asked suggestions for what evidence to look at. I think the arbitration report is starting to focus alot on Mhhossein, but this is understandable because he has made 30% of all edits at Talk:People's Mujahedin of Iran, edited Iranian topics (a difficult area) for 7 years, and dealt with difficult users. I don't think Mhhossein is a perfect editor and I can see his mistakes, though I think his contribution on this topic as been, on the whole, positive.

So my two cents would be to look the evidences on Mhhossein (eg those in Vanamonde's section) and see if any patterns emerge. I tried giving evidence on him but I don't think its adequate. Sorry if my thoughts are all over the place! VR _talk 18:45, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VR, yeah, they are a bit. This isn't too focused, I'm afraid. But, RE: Stefka and Mhhossein have filed WP:SPIs against each other — I knew that SB launched an SPI on MH (because I commented on it at the time), but I was not aware that it was also vice versa. That submission to your evidence section says that this is so, but you've provided no, well, evidence. Can you please clarify, then, with evidence? Because WP:SPI/Stefka_Bulgaria does not exist, so I'm confused. To that: not to be a dick, but it's kinda silly of you not to link to these SPIs, but instead just link to the main WP:SPI page, for some reason (like, for what?). El_C 21:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a total idiot move on my part. Ok, I've fixed the issue and given links for both.VR _talk 21:46, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Damn, that's a long SPI. Hopefully, I can finish reading it by Christmas! El_C 22:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it wasn't my intent to get you to focus on SPI. I think you and Vanamonde possess a lot of wisdom on what's going on and I really hope you will give your impressions either in the evidence stage or the workshop stage, ideally, both.VR _talk 22:35, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I get that. I just didn't know that MH filed an SPI on SB, so it caught my attention. Anyway, seeing as the evidence phase ends on Aug 17 and that I find the Workshop model incredibly convoluted and counterintuitive, I wouldn't hold too much hope about me doing either of those things. But, again, if someone has something targeted they want me to review, I can probably do that. El_C 22:43, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your comment. I think the RfC you were looking for was is this. FWIW, I disagree with your comment "the anti-MEK camp also largely reflects the view of the theo-fascist Islamic regime that rules Iran". Yes, I've been critical of MEK, but does't mean I agree with the Iranian government or its lack of freedoms etc. In fact, you'll find that much of the criticism of MEK actually comes from Western liberal sources.VR _talk 22:05, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help

I want a clarification on this issue in 2019 Loksabha elections article page ,where results table are for only 542 seats and one seat held later. ECI recently updated the files and includes all seats for calculation vote share ,voters, registered electors and so on. It even published a article and atlas about 2019 loksabha election, I tried to edit as per Election commission of India's sources and files but one user reverted both my edits and references and said that delayed election should not be included.Whether it is a general or delayed election or not, primary source for election related articles in Wikipedia are the election commission of their respective countries. Even Election commission of India saying total electors for GE 2019 are 911,950,784 they reverted to 910,512,091, I even continuously arguing but that user not satisfied for Government's souce and files. Please express your views in itNahtrav (talk) 10:40, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nahtrav, if you ask for someone's help, the courteous thing would be to link to the page in question. If it's about the 2019 Indian general election, then I'd say that you should follow your own request: express your views in it, with it being the article talk page. Because other disputants are making use of it. So please do so and stop edit warring. El_C 11:02, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for this mistake, I just forgot that in the middle of that argument, so I should post it in Article talk page, shouldn't I?Nahtrav (talk) 11:07, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. And in general, observing the maxim of Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle during editing disputes would be good. El_C 11:10, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you see the discussion now Talk: 2019 Indian general election , till now no objection for my edits except the reverted editor, who also created that table .Nahtrav (talk) 15:06, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I edited based ona strong and updated reference from both govt , private and news article but the another user reverts just because it's "editors choice" and "need not necessary" and not citing any reference or Wikipedia rule but still revert make no sense to me apart from article page discussion, another discussion was also made on the reverted user talk page Nahtrav (talk) 15:22, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not really available to assist you further with this right now. El_C 16:13, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to prolong this, but do you think you could remind Nahtrav about our canvassing rules? This is not particularly neutral. Given that he's done this on-wiki, I also strongly suspect that another user was canvassed off-wiki to comment given how quickly they appeared on the RfC after Nahtrav and basically just said that they agreed with him...

Your closing at WP:ANI

There are still issue of WP:1RR that was broken about week ago. Do you think it could be brought to WP:AE? --Shrike (talk) 15:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As someone who has probably done more AE stuff than any other admin on the project, here's a question: is it common practice to sanction someone for a one week old (at the time of the filing of such a complaint) 1RR violation? I honestly can't remember. Because in a normal 3RR scenario, such a complaint would be deemed

Stale. Also, a not unimportant question would be whether a self-reversion request was attempted first. El_C 15:25, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Or even requested. Or if somebody really should be patrolling others contributions on articles they have never involved themselves in in order to seek out opportunities to run and write a report. Or claiming a 1rr violation when they tagged the article as being covered two weeks later. That strikes me as WP:TE of the WP:NOTHERE sort tbh. nableezy - 22:34, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. True story: a little while ago the bank typo'd my birth date, which became a whole run-around with the gov't for some reason, multiple promised call-backs from the bank not returned, etc. In short, super annoying and time consuming. Finally, had to go into the branch in-person. Once everything was sorted there, I dictated a note to the rep helping me to be sent to the person handling my accounts. I ended the complaint with: tell branch manager that a fruit basket would be aiight (emphasizing that spelling). She laughed. El_C 15:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

AN/I

Thanks for closing the discussion. I won't make any comment about the discussion itself. But if I am parsing your closing note correctly, there was an objection to the template I used? I transcluded it from one of a dozen ANI threads that use it to produce a full list of user-associated links. I wasn't suggesting that editor was a vandal; simply using a format used in any number of similar threads. And not once did I suggest the editor was a vandal. St★lwart¹¹¹ 02:01, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I figured as much, but it still looks unseemly in the edit window, was my point. Next time, just use {{userlinks}} or whatever instead, for disputes of that nature. You'll basically get the same output without having a {{vandal|Your Opponent}} being displayed for anyone editing the complaint. In closing: optics shmotcics. El_C 02:22, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. I don't have a Twatter account and for some reason it's not letting me click on things right now. I can't explain it. Still, I think I get the gist of it. Duly noted. Now, as for you, maybe fourth time the charm (?): can you please tell me how many individuals have access to the User:Centralist2021 account? And can you please tell me if any further coordinated action should expected, from either camp? Thanks in advance. El_C 22:17, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can be at phone or connected Coffee shops WIFI using Wikipedia unless there a rule against traveling around or something. I wont able tell if "coordinated action" will resume after article page gets unlocked. I cant do anything else anyways. I will see what happen when it gets unlocked.. The activity started on same day the road reopened. I do not know if you can check pageviews on it. Centralist2021 (talk) 22:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth time, then: so it's just you operating the User:Centralist2021 account? I sorta need you to expressly answer with a yes or a no. BTW, I didn't even know the Great Highway existed, period, up until a few hours ago. And I've actually spent some time in California. Anyway. El_C 22:37, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ya. Great Highway Wikipedia may get into "no compromise" article resolution just like what was done in the protesters and survey to close roadway. It not acceptable they bring that here even if its on talk page is created. I thought in ANI stated "Wikipedia don`t pick sides". Centralist2021 (talk) 02:58, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. El_C 03:02, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does Wikipedia allow sanctions or something related. Making it focus on the current status of the roadway. Dont need see nickname of a roadway or stating reopening details or concerns. Only need to know is the date and if "Great Highway is open to traffic" or "Closed to traffic"Centralist2021 (talk) 03:27, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Centralist2021, I don't know. This isn't an area of the project with which I am familiar. El_C 03:30, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it might be needed permanently until a solid decision for Great Highway is made. Who specialized in sanctions in Wikipedia? You got a page link? It def trim both sides to lowest point. Centralist2021 (talk) 03:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Centralist2021, I specialize in sanctions, just not in disputes that involve roads. The admin who protected the page also specializes in sanctions. I haven't seen anything to suggest sanctions are needed at this time, but you're free to seek a second opinion. However, I'm wary of burdening any individual admin with that by sending you their way (I feel it'd be an imposition). Good luck. El_C 03:46, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I am up to have the article with even compromise were both sides of content would be trimmed to the lowest until a solid development for article has been made. Centralist2021 (talk) 03:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Celestina007, Wikipedia's mobile version sucks. Although when I browse it on my mobile devices it looks okay'ish, it transfers poorly on the pc (where I'm actually logged in).

Behavior of Vaze50 after a very final warning

Hi there, I know you warned Vaze50 on their talk page a few days ago about WP:BATTLEGROUND and WP:ASPERSIONS but Vaze has continued such behavior mostly towards DeCausa on their talk page. It seems Vaze has been give enough WP:ROPE, but has not dropped the WP:STICK and cotinues to beat a WP:DEADHORSE.

Oceanic feeling

Everyone is Everyone (and Everything is Everything). El_C 23:02, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics:

(Intro)

Somehow I found myself here today

Awakened to these thoughts and feelings

Or an oceanic sense of lucid dreaming?

A strange sort of spherical sensation

With an overwhelming sense of apprehension

An emptiness that thunders out

From beyond the mind's horizon

So far beyond our reach

Where consciousness coalesces

Like the billowing loom of thunder clouds

The streaming runs of thought goes

'Round and 'round and 'round

Till the dancing funnels of wind touch down

And the earth bows down in reverence

Lest it should be torn to pieces

And blown into oblivi-essence

And all who live will run and hide

And do what we’ve done since the dawn of time

Everyone flees from the cyclone winds of

One's own mind

But if one day we should stand on the canyon’s edge

Peer out through the beating rain, the pounding wind

You'll find that everyone is everyone

And everything is everything

(Verse one)

Open up

Your hearts and minds

'Cause I remember

Nothing

One day now

It all falls down

But love must keep on

Loving

So start the show

Here we go

(Chorus)

Dark to light

The day from night

A roll of a mountain

A rip in the sky

Turning the dust to flesh

And ashes to breath

A pull of a muscle

A pin in the eye

An initial spark

To get this heart of mine pumping

And another

To get these feet of mine running

But sadly they've just taken me

To a place

Where all is devoid

Of your embrace

So baby now we're falling

Baby now you're falling

Baby yeah, yeah

Baby now we're falling, baby yeah

Tripping and tumbling

Flipping and fumbling

Flowing on the rivers of sadness

That have been forever rumbling

But from dawn until now

Of all the paths that I could have gone down

Of all the valleys

That I could have been flowing through

In spite of all the chaos

And all that has come between us

How is it I still find myself

Here with you

(Outro)

So somehow we find ourselves here today

A feeling in this oceanic sense of lucid dreaming

A strange sort of spherical sensation

An emptiness that thunders out

From beyond the mind's horizon

And all of us, we run and hide

Do what we've done since the dawn of time

Peering out through the beating rain

The pounding wind

Everyone is everyone

And everything is everything
