River Crest Sanitarium (New York)

Hello Quisqualis, I see you removed George Dimitropolos (pulo) a second time from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Crest_Sanitarium_(New_York). Dimitropolos was director of landmark building in Romania called Palatul_Bragadiru and he owned a hotel called Hotel Olympia in NYC (200 East 42nd Street) around 1914 (research in process) and then ended up in River Crest. He is not your average individual. Can you tell me your reasons for having removed him from River Crest? He is listed on this wikipedia here https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatul_Bragadiru. Sources include death certificate and Play Bill from the Romanian Theatre. Please advise.

Your reasons for removal are below: 1. We do not use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia. 2. not a notable individual 3. lack of citations of reliable sources so that others may access the same information independently My responses: Wikipedia is not the only source presented, there is hard documentary evidence, death certificate and playbill. The role of director and owner of a NYC hotel is notable. If we only relied on obtaining information which others may access independently then why do we have special institutions called Libraries or Wikipedia. I feel Libraries provide a valuable service and help obtain information that other people CANNOT source independently. Sorry but I am not following your reasoning. 23:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Wikipedia's standards of notability require coverage of a subject in WP:Reliable sources. Also, notability in Romania does not confer notability in the English-speaking world. Was Dimitropulo a national hero of Romania? Did he have an obituary in the New York Times? What books were written about him? Owning a hotel in New York City is something which many people have done. Some of the owners of multiple NYC hotels or national hotel chains have WP articles written about them, but maybe not Dimitropulo. Small fish, big pond. Do you see my point? It's the viewpoint of Wikipedia itself. Also note that we NEVER use WP as a source for WP, and that a theatre playbill is not a reliable secondary source, but a primary source, mainly for cast and crew information. A death certificate is a valid source on Wikipedia for verifying death, its time and its place. For en:Wikikpedia to consider Dimitropulo notable may take a lot of WP:Original research on your part. Unfortunately, OR is forbidden in WP articles.--Quisqualis (talk) 01:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Quisqualis

I am sure you are quite busy but I wanted to point out that I fixed the photos on River Crest, (no water mark, they were provided by Greater Astoria Historical Society) did you notice, any comments? 01:54, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

The results look good. You may want to note that Wikipedia has an WP: Image lab which can remove the ink stamp from the sky area of the colored postcard brochure. They do a very good job there. Apparently, the wrong face of the postcard was inked in the stamp-cancellation process back in 1920--Quisqualis (talk) 05:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC).

Thank you. I've submitted to the lab. 09:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Hello Quisqualis

I noticed you removed Kelly (Mohre) Hyman stating she is not notable on this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doin%27_Time_on_Planet_Earth Recently I found this PDF, hoping it will give some more credibility to the actress. Do you think so?

"The effect of this drug on the central nervous system manifestations of MPS VII has not been determined."

I'm glad you edited Jonathan Mitchell, but there is one thing I want to point out

Thank you for your edits. However, in the "Early life" section, you put three tags, when all that information was available in http://www.newsweek.com/2015/02/27/one-activists-search-cure-his-autism-drawing-violent-backlash-306998.html. Ylevental (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Ylevental. I have a good excuse: I edited that article over a 24-hour period (with sleep), and had so exhausted my brain by reading that article about 25 times in its entirety in a most granular manner, and most of the references as well. I left those tags to remind myself, or another reader (whose initials might be YL) to put in the cite. Would you please do it for me? I need to recharge my batteries with a morning of the Daily Mail now!--Quisqualis (talk) 16:31, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

There is no better source than the NSTB - AA-73-15 which is the investigative report on the accident by the National Safety Transportation Board.

Regarding your comment while undoing my edit of article Duke Cunningham

Duke Cunningham is a decorated veteran to say the least. To not write about his military history because he is mostly notable for his political and criminal background is quite injudicious. So I believe there can be a healthy debate about including his military career in the introductory paragraph.

But to undo a edit and deliberately accuse someone of violating WP:COI is highly disrespectful, more so when the language used is in line to policies of WP:NPV. I would request you to refrain from these inflammatory remarks. SoloKnowHow83 (talk) 17:55, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

About Nemenhah

I responded to you at the help desk in a manner that was intended to be even-handed, because the help desk is not for discussing articles and because that was the same advice I had given the otehr party. However, I absolutely agree with you, so here, after taking my "help desk responder" hat off, I can say that I hope you will take the time to clean that mess up. If your source are good and the scammers' sources are not, you should be able to defend your edits if try to revert and we get into arbitration or something.

Teahouse

In my opinion, you are at times too acerbic in comments at Teahouse. Often, the questions are posed by new editors, and they should not be hit with a stick, regardless of how righteous they come across. David notMD (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Mt. Olympus Edits

You are getting too acerbic with all of your comments. You told an experienced editor that "Wikipedia isn't about the truth. It's about what is stated in reliable sources. Please cite one." Yet, my edit summary explained that you cannot cite things that are no longer there. Not to mention that items in the infobox do not need to be cited when the material in the text of the article is already cited. In this particular edit, the body of the article lists five roller coasters at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park. When I changed the infobox to agree with the text in the article you insisted there be a citation. Sorry, but your opinion is incorrect. The information is already within the body of the article. There are hundreds of infoboxes without citations for each entry.—JlACEer (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

In case you are unfamiliar:

From Help:Infobox

What should an infobox contain?

In general, data in infobox templates should be:

Already cited elsewhere in the article. Infoboxes, like the introduction to the article, should primarily contain material that is expanded on and supported by citations to reliable sources elsewhere in the article. However, if necessary (e.g., because the article is currently incomplete), it is possible to include footnotes in infoboxes.

To add information

Hello sir, I have a request. Here it goes, on Shamsheer Vayalil wikipedia there is an infobox in which there is a column named alma mater. In that column name of two medical colleges are given: 1:) Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. 2:) Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai. When I clicked on the link of second college I found that the college is not actually located in Chennai. It is located in "Porur" a city in "Chennai".But in early life paragraph " Porur" is indicated. So I request you to add "Porur" in the format I am showing you below. "Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Porur, ChennaiChennai(in alma mater column). Thanks. (left by IP editor 223.230.167.170 on 15 June 2019)

You appear to have added "Citation Needed" to lots of things on the page about Phil Konstantin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Konstantin

Please forgive me if it wasn't you that added the Citation Needed markers.

After I noticed this, I looked around and found quite a few things which were once on the internet in newspapers, stories, books and websites. Some of them have been deleted as time goes by, because most publications don't keep large backups, or old articles very long. TV stations in San Diego had a lot of this information on their Reporter Profile pages. Since I have retired, those pages were deleted. Some of this information was also posted on my personal website. It may have been deleted during my change in web hosts and site reorganizations. In any case, I found verifications for quite a few things. I posted several in February 2019 in the Talk section of the page. I posted more recently. So far, no one seems to have done anything about adding the citations. Since the page is about me, I cannot do it.

With a few very minor exceptions (which I noted on the Talk page), the profile/article/page/whatever you want to call it is accurate.

Any suggestions?

Phil Konstantin Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:43, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Therein lies the problem. A "page about you" isn't an encyclopedia article. If you wish for citations to be added to it, feel free to suggest the additions on the Talk page of your "whatever".--Quisqualis (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I have checked out the page. Who wouldn't check out an article about themselves. The page is not an autobiography. That is against Wikipedia rules. I have readers or viewers in many different places. For example New York Newsday once wrote a review about one of my websites many years ago. I had never seen that publication before. I found out about it while doing an unrelated web search. Some people have contributed to discussions on the Talk Page, whom I do not know personally. I don't know who created it originally. Since the 'encyclopedia article' is about me, I don't know what else to call it. A few years ago, I did correct one error in the article. Another editor informed me that was inappropriate, since you are not supposed to change things about matters you are part of. I removed the change. Someone else then reapplied the change a few days later. I did suggest the additions for some of the Citation Needed matters on the Talk Page after someone (it appears it was you) added 'Citation Needed' to many parts of the article. Since then, nobody has applied those suggestions. Perhaps you are not the person who added the Citation Needed markers to the article. I do know that if I had added Citation Needed to an article, I would check back later to see if any information had been provided to clarify or support something.

I mainly use Wikipedia as a source of information. Occasionally, I try to improve it. With due respect, I doubt any additions to your profile actually improve the encyclopedia.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough. But, why add Citation Needed if it won't make any difference?

Question about page Renewable energy in Vietnam

Dear Quisqualis

Thank you for the contribution you make on page Renewable energy in Vietnam. I'm really appreciated. I have a few questions I would like to ask for better understanding your contribution:

In Hydropower section, you said that "not all readers of this article live in Vietnam"; in Solar energy section you wrote "article is for a worldwide audience, not only your boss" and "Wikipedia articles are aimed at a worldwide audience, not one country". I edit this article with the purpose of bringing new information about types of renewable energy in Vietnam to everyone so all sections like Solar energy, Hydropower,... are written for the public. The page speaks itself: update situation in Vietnam for everyone may or may not live in Vietnam can read.

I don't understand much about your comment. Could you explain to me?

Thank you and have a good weekend --F.Blaubiget (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Long story. Initially, I made an edit of one space character in order to turn my name blue. I recently realized that other editors might waste their time visiting a blank user page, and changed it back to red. I dislike summing myself up, and have minimal social media presence. An additional benefit of having a red name is that I can find my posts on discussion pages a little more easily.--Quisqualis (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you and interesting to read. I never thought about that (avoiding that others visit a blank page; finding yourself more easily). Made me think... All the best and stay in touch. --F.Blaubiget (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

A Suggestion for Quisqualis

Dearest Quisqualis,

You've responded to several things I have posted on the Wikipedia Teahouse. I don't always find your thoughts or suggestions useful or helpful, but, your input does not go unnoticed, and there is some insight, often mirroring subsequent comments.

That said, you don't have a user page. When I see your comments, your name is in red. Is there a reason you have not created a user page?

At the time I'm writing this, I'm new, but I took the time to at least create a minimal user page. On the other hand, you have many sections on your talk page, and it seems you've been around for a while.

Just a thought.

Regards,

PhanChavez (talk) 06:16, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Quisqualis once had a user page, but chose to have it deleted. I've no idea why. Maproom (talk) 08:11, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

As in Theodore Geisel's Sneeches, I wanted to be blue like everybody else. Then I thought about it, and got rid of my nearly-nonexistent User page.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Is Wikipedia normally so toxic ?

Hello - following your kind welcoming message ([1]) I decided to register. However, I have been horrified with messages I have received within hours of registering, (see [2]) As you appear to be experienced here could you explain is this is normal ? Certainly, I have no interest in being involved if such aggression and toxicity is either accepted or commonplace.--SnowyMalone (talk) 19:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I was posting on this talk page, SnowyMalone, and I get the impression from the Help Desk and the Teahouse that some people do have this experience. It's not what we want. We want Wikipedia to be welcoming to newcomers.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:41, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Adirampattinam

You reverted my edits on Adirampattinam stating "If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". I believe that the revert was unnecessary for a couple of reasons.

• Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. First of all, the source I added is from the India Meteorological Department, which is an official source. Climatedata.org, according to their website uses modelled data and states "All of our climate data comes from a climate model. The model has more than 220 million data points and a resolution of 30 arc seconds. The model uses weather data from thousands of weather stations from all over the world. This weather data was collected between 1982 and 2012." Observed data is more reliable, especially if it is coming from an official source. This has been the norm in other climate tables in other countries where official sources are preferred if data is available. Secondly, you are just using a straw man argument where I use the source just because I like it, claiming that I don't like it. This has nothing to do with emotion, I am simply trying to improve climate data in Indian Cities that have long being plagued with vandalism and lack of good data compared to other cities. I can argue that you are just exhibiting the I don't like it mentality because you cannot justify why the previous version is better other than stirring up emotional responses.

• If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Are you yelling at me. Clearly, that's not how you approach users who are acting in good faith trying to improve articles. In many cities around the world such as New York City, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Mexico City, Sydney and etc, many climate tables have record highs and lows. It is standard to include this given that record temperatures are frequently discussed on the media. Should we start deleting record temperatures then because you don't like it? That would bring a lot of opposition from users. The India Meteorological Department source unfortunately does not have mean temperatures and because the temperatures differ from the climatedata.org source, we cannot use the mean temperatures from 2 different sources neither can one assume that mean temperatures is (max+min)/2 (some countries define mean temperatures differently or calculate it as a 24 hour average)

• Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". Pointless personal attack. Since when it is Wikipedia's policy that we ought to delete record highs and lows. You are just using the Argumentum ad populum fallacy to weaken my position when the opposite holds true where most users do want to have record highs and lows (lack of deletion). Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

You are right, Ssbbplayer! Unfortunately, I made my edit while I was falling asleep and also in a hurry. I misconstrued your edit and did not look at the way it displayed in the article itself. There is nothing wrong with putting in record highs, if they appear where they are useful, which yours did. I see some strange edits on Wikipedia, sometimes to climate data, and acted in haste. Please accept my apologies.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

@Quisqualis: No worries. Apologies for my statements as well. I am glad I was able to clarify my edits and resolve this issue. Thanks. Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

T2 mycotoxin

Hello, I see you reverted a section on the T2 mycotoxin page related to chemical synthesis, and I am hoping you can explain why.

In my view, that paragraph was both undue emphasis on one paper as well as promotional namedropping. Science and medicine articles in Wikipedia are a breeding ground for such additions, which don't improve the articles they are added to. See: WP:SPAM.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:38, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Unnecessary revert

Hi, you recently reverted one of my edits in Computer science, where the content was actually moved to another article. The revert wasn't necessary if you looked at the talk page, consensus had already been reached, so I'm scratching my head on this one.

Progenitor versus descendant

Hi! Maybe you could help me think this out, since I wrote the "progenitor" part. What I was trying to say is that all the later devices are descendants of Plastibell. I mentioned Plastibell since few people have heard of Ross. Also, you refer to "devices" when referring to Ross. It should be "device," singular. Can you help me think this through? Thanks. 71.173.77.143 (talk) 10:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

PlantZAfrica

Hi Quisqualis,

I don't understand why you reverted my contribution. If you click on the link, I can't find "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" but on the top of the page SANBI and a colourful logo PlantZAfrica.com where the "Z" is spelled as uppercase letter. "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" is also not the URL they use but "http://pza.sanbi.org/pleiospilos-nelii". Can you explain? --Cyfal (talk) 17:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

It appeared to be an attempt at gratuitous humor, given the edit summary.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

It was the other way round - I was suprised by the wrongly spelled word plants and then looked curiously at the link where I found the uppercase Z and A as an explanation. I will then enter my version again in Pleiospilos nelii so that other readers will not any longer be surprised. --Cyfal (talk) 11:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

About your revert on my edit.

I edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page. Here is the link to my edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/962300439 I have provided the link to my edit summery. I think Wikipedia only need reliable information but doesn't need visible reference to every information it shows. So I added the source link to my edit summary and I think it's enough. Please check it and edit that episode count or tell me I'll edit it again. Thank you . Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 23:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Md Maruf Parvez. You "edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page", which is something we never do in Wikipedia. This is because Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source, given that it is open-sourced and is known to contain many errors. Please read the page called WP:CIRCULAR, which explains why we never cite Wikipedia to support facts in Wikipedia. When changing facts in articles, always be sure to cite supporting sources in a way that is helpful to readers of the article, that is, by using in-line citations, and you will be "good to go". If you get your facts from a Wikipedia article, be sure to cite the same source the article gives as the reference.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

This is the reason why I have trusted the source Wikipedia page: That Indian tv serial have been aired since a very long period and have been telecasted several times of a week. So the episode count can't be so low. The episode count, I think, is higher than as mentioned in the source Wikipedia page. You can search for it. As I found higher episode count on another willing page I edited the episode count based on that information and information of other web search results. Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 00:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Md Maruf Parvez my point is that it is never acceptable to cite Wikipedia as a source for a Wikipedia article, ever. We editors must all find a reliable source for our changes to an article's facts, and cite it properly. Otherwise, our edits will be reverted.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Trolling

Re: User:Hamuyi it has been clear to me from day one also, that they are just trolling, other users seem to have an absolutely remarkable amount of "assume good faith" they are probably a sock of User:Shadowblade08 or User:Firestar9990 or at least from the same school. Theroadislong (talk) 18:15, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, they all appear to have hatched from the same clutch of eggs this spring. There are a few more, including user:DaniHart08, who I knew right away was an adult male, and they all converse on-wiki. Initially, I thought it a miracle that Hamuyi and Shadowblade08.2 had found one another, and I hoped they would "get a room", but that was not to be. I've seen this trolling pattern a lot on the TH, perhaps with a different master; it seems to be be a compelling form of entertainment.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes and the more that admins assume good faith ad infinitum, the more fun it is for the trolls. Theroadislong (talk) 18:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

At times, editors find themselves competing to be helpful in these ridiculous situations.
Yet another, and, I believe, entirely original troll is Visionhelp. Initially, I thought this was a tragic case of schizophrenia or dementia. I later realized that they were a master of pompous, irritated pseudo-German gibberish. I think the sheer persistence of these trolls reveals their intent, as with a recently blocked user I seem to remember as "Ram Nareshji". AGF needs to be backed up by WP:CHECKUSER, given that WP is blocking around 1,000 users per day.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree regarding Hamuyi, and suspect ShadowBlade08 is a troll as well as DaniHart08. The question is, SPI or ANI? Nobody wants to chase these accounts down because they are believed to be kids. I don't think they are kids, but rather sophisticated trolls. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, mimicking childish linguistic patterns is part of the game, as young users are sacrosanct (probably for good reason). Either intentionally or otherwise, however, these trolls manage to insert "grown up" expressions into their posts at odd times, raising a red flag. Teahouse, beware.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Berrrell Jensen

Hi Quisqualis, I notice you are editing the Berrell Jensen page. I hope this is the place to query those edits, I'm new to this. There has been question as to whether Jensen is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. However, you have made cuts to the text removing the following

She exhibited at Drian Galleries amongst others.

Drian Galleries are famous in history of art galleries for a number of reasons. Please Google Drian Gallery, Drian Galleries and Halima Nalecz. That Berrell Jensen exhibited there creates a context for the notability of her work. You have also removed:

In 1965 her work was included in a group show in Hester Rupert Art Museum, Graaff-Reinet,

Again, this is pertinent to the question of notability as a user, I forget who, suggested that this particular exhibition was 'notable' because it occurred in a museum.

I understand citations are needed and User:Cullen328 has offered to help with this, it will take time.

Also you have edited the text so it now reads:

In 1977, Jensen moved to the United Kingdom, where she then started a craft centre in County Donegal, Ireland.

You are the second editor to assume Ireland is in the United Kingdom. This is a serious error, given the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Thanks! --SandAJ (talk) 21:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Shock absorber - removed my 3D model?

Hi Quisqualis, I see you removed my 3D model of shock absorber which was added in Shock absorber article. Considering it is related to the subject and from engineering/mechanic area and people from that field are also interested to see an actual 3D model, may I ask why it was removed and what I did wrong? I also see you removed several of my 3D models added to specific subjects. I really do not see a reason for doing that: I followed all rules by Wikipedia, all those 3D models are mine, my copyrights, giving it for free for educational purposes and all of them are related to the subject of the article. I am just trying to improve things here, especially from engineering area, considering all of us use 3D models in 2020. Isn't that a step forward for Wikipedia, new improvement, especially when knowing that students use Wikipedia as a source of information? Some articles computer animations and video clips (and that is great!), so why 3D models cannot be added, too? Thank you in advance! Dape13 (talk) 06:36, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Wisbech

I must assume that you spotted my quaintly-worded plea at the Teahouse, and have "replied" by taking action.

I pressed the thanks button on a couple of edits, but didn't wish to ring the bell too often! Sincere best wishes, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 01:51, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, narrative structure would be beneficial. I had to take action when I saw 16th-century subsistence fishing referred to as "sport". I do hope the article's content is hosted elsewhere than Wikipedia, as we're not a webhost.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I realized that I lacked basic knowlege in in many areas, such as the one you have mentioned. I think some of the info was sourced, so it is not "forever lost". But plugging in one sentence factoids, even if sourced, creates a list, not an encyclopedia article. Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 02:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for the work on the lede. The shorter version is better.

I would like to include the fuller description of the philosophy by the Founder under the Philosophy section and I will try to condense that section.

The matter of classes/promo is important. At the same time, in order to see what Aesthetic Realism is in the real world, there needs to be a description of how the principles apply to subjects. I understand NOR and I’m thinking what to include that’s brief and is sourced properly.

Thanks again for your help. Lore E. Mariano (talk) 01:49, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm looking at the massive cuts you did on the Poetry section. I think I agree that a long section about poetry may not belong here and I can move that section to the Eli Siegel article; however, since the philosophy is based on poetry (which it still says), the definition of poetry as given by Eli Siegel needs to be put back in. Let me think about it and see how I can do it in the briefest, most efficient way. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to it for a day or two given work obligations. Lore E. Mariano (talk) 14:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

sourced content is not always trivia

The variants of spelling of mate is not trivial as it has caused a great deal of discussion on the article's talk page. You might want to explain your concerns and gain consensus there before you try to delete the content again. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

While its possible they could be a troll or a sock, they are much more likely just a newbie who doesn't quite get how things work around here. We have plenty of people try to do RfA's without understanding how things work. In the future, please make sure to assume good faith. If they're really a problem and they shouldn't be here, we can just block them. No need to tell them to leave. Also, you shouldn't assume folks are socks unless you have evidence. Now if you have evidence they're a sock, then you should open an SPI instead. Smooth sailing, CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 06:41, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, please never talk to me again please.

Hey, on my talk page. You called me a troll which I'm not. I think all you will do is constantly keep saying it. SO... in that case, never talk to me again or talk on my user talk page. I have muted you now. Thanks. (FYI, you likely got me confused with someone.)Toad62 (talk) 22:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

That would depend solely upon your future editing behavior. Please stop your incessant trolling of Wikipedia. If you have made more than one unambiguously constructive edit in your lengthy edit history as a variety of "newbie" trolls, I'd be somewhat shocked.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

First off, I kept editing my user page because I felt like something was always missing or the text boxes were off, and that's another thing too, MY USER PAGE. This never affected articles, and plus it's my user page so I should what I want with it and it's not something for you to be the boss of, you can't even make rules because you are not an admin of this website. 2nd off, I am a newbie! My account is only 2 days old. 3rd off you should speak for yourself because you have been nothing but rude to other users. Some messages I have seen on your talk page revolve around people saying you need to calm down and stop calling people trolls because its likely they are newbies. Learn some manners. (FYI, if you post on my user page again, I'm deleting what you said.) Toad62 (talk) 23:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Nobody has mentioned your user page, Toad62. You are an adult, and not at all new to Wikipedia. You've had perhaps dozens of accounts in the past year, most abandoned. You feign being unfamiliar with English one moment, and then feign a dyslexic American child the next. It's really racist to demean English learners by mocking them, and the same goes for those who legitimately have to overcome dyslexia. I pity you for your obvious alienation from productive society; now leave us alone, Hamuyi, DaniHart08, Shadowblade08, Foodboy1, Leonardox2020, Lucky7Chromebook, and, most likely, Debdoot guha.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

(Redacted) While I did have other accounts it was only Caleb625 and Toad625, I deleted them because I barely used them. And I didn't really want to do this but I'm emailing Wikipedia telling them that you are harassing me. Please leave me alone. Toad62 (talk) 23:46, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Your act is riddled with holes, because it's hard to convincingly be other people all the time. You give yourself away every other sentence. If you have the dexterity to report yourself to SPI, I'm shocked that you must resort to emailing the Foundation in this instance. I guess you are hoping for the endgame so "Sierra" will be afforded longer walks.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

PS:Accounts cannot be "deleted". Ever.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

This bickering is not benefiting either of you or the project. Please stop arguing with each other and return to doing productive work. It would be best if you stayed off each other's talk page. That is not an order, it's a suggestion. I do not want to see this escalate. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:58, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Sources

I can consult other pages to find out what references to use ? 👀Gremista.32 (talk) 23:00, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

That would be common sense. If English poses difficulty for you, perhaps there is a Wikipedia in your first language that you would find easier to edit. If you have a physical disability which makes typing difficult, it would aid your cause quite a bit to declare it on your user page, as you are tending to annoy other editors with your limited English vocabulary.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:04, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Quisqualis! First time meeting with you here.

Do you know who Paul Ahyi is? If you tell me who is he before this day, I don't know who is he. But, I just found out that Paul Ahyi is a LTA (or part of it, but I consider them as one and the same). Sorry to say this, but this LTA used to send me a death threat. Since you have an e-mail, I'll sent to you a message what they mean. SMB99thx my edits 04:21, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Are sure the date format is right? I just want to check because I thought it was that way, but if I'm wrong, then that's fine. Toad62 (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Population Spread

Hey there Quisqualis, I just saw that you edited the Edmeston, New York page, removing the red link for population spread. I'm guessing you saw my question about it and since I'm still learning how things work on here, I was wondering what your thought process was. I've been looking into how the Census generally labels the type of age data that is currently labeled as population spread on this page. It looks like that type of data is usually called age structure/distribution/composition. Still looking around for exact census data from 2000 so I can match up the data and see how they labeled it exactly. Thanks! Otsegomaniac (talk) 18:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Otsegomaniac, I've noticed over the years the expression "The population was spread out, with xxx.xxx people..." consistently used in demographics sections in city articles. I find it a bit awkward, in that Wikipedia redundantly states that a population is "spread out" when that is what populations do. You are free to emulate the stock phrase or improve it. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! You replied to my post at the teahouse, and I took your advice when creating the synopsis section of my article. It is now complete! Thanks for the proofread and edits!--Redactedentity (talk) 05:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I did a bit of proofing, and tagged 2 passages where the wording was unclear to me. I am suddenly sleepy, but let me know when you've fixed the wording and I'll look at it tomorrow.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:40, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I added clarification where needed to the "synopsis" section. I agree that it was a bit rushed and I did not explain my wording clearly enough. By the way, how do you enter links when putting in edit summaries?(for example, the arrow pointing towards an article subsection) --Redactedentity (talk) 06:47, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

It's [[article title#subsection]]. It appears as the latter part of the URL once you have clicked the subsection in the table of contents, so you can copy it. Hope this helps.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about that...

I wanted to apologize for getting off the wrong foot. I understand if you're not ready to forgive me, and I understand that. I'm sorry for everything, I shouldn't have responded to you rudely when you left your first message to me on Wikipedia, instead I should have been explaining politely to you my point of view and telling you I'm not the person you were confusing me with. Have a good day and stay safe. Toad62 15:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Map

The map is just the map of the fire borders, not where it's located. And how the hell is it "confusing"? ------[] /\/\/\ /\ []-------- GDFan 21:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

There's also another map below the infobox, showing its approximate location. ------[] /\/\/\ /\ []-------- GDFan 21:14, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I find the vertical striping annoying, and the lack of other geographical clues makes it look like an island in the ocean. The specific outlines of the fire complex are of little use to most readers, as the fire is over. Use the California map in the infobox.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Cargèse

hi Quisqualis. you have reverted an edit by 151.36.8.136 (EOLE79's sock) in the article about Cargèse, but 151.34.3.132 (the same guy) restored it. the edit is not totally wrong, except that: there are many other english pronunciations without source, such as in "Basel" and "Occitanie" articles, so there is no reason to remove it from that article; the order of the italian pronunciations should be inverted, that is "karˈdʒeːze" first and then "-eːse". i hope that the information i have provided will be useful for you, i can not be helpful with the other edits by the ip guy unfortunately. have a good day 🙂 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.78.213.2 (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Can you explain what instructions you're referring to here please? The not english tag ("However, please do not add an automated translation to the article, since these are generally of very poor quality") and Wikipedia:Translation ("Avoid machine translations") are both very clear that this should not be done. --Jac16888 ^Talk 14:01, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

I did misread the instructions. However, in my hours of researching this situation, I discovered the article's creator is a college student who views WP as a form of amusement, and who is socking. While the unsourced article is substantially similar to many Indian village articles, the first paragraph goes overboard (to say the least) and is a parody of the genre. Would you mind if I appended the translation to come after the original Hindi? I hope it will help with the deletion process.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

COI edits are done

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I placed the COI template—but not undisclosed paid editor (because I am not paid, explanation is given)on three entries (Rethinking Marxism, Stephen Resnick, and Jack Amariglio) that I initiated. I have also placed the required template on my Talk page. Please adjust the warning on the Rethinking Marxism entry reflecting these declarations.Ymadra (talk) 03:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

The template on Rethinking Marxism is still there, due to the fact that it was hard (WP assumes) for you to be objective. It's just a heads-up for readers and watchers of the page, and will need to remain until the "current version", edited by unconnected editors over the years, bears little resemblance to the version as of right now. I guess you're aware that, having made your declaration, you will only contribute to the article via edit request.--Quisqualis (talk) 04:42, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

About user name Mieliestronk

Thanks, Quisqualis, as I've pointed out on my talk page, I've been Mieliestronk on Wikipedia for years and years, at least on another language platform. It was an oversight on my side even to have referred to my has-been website Mieliestronk in the first place. I have now changed my "hello page" too, just to explain my bona fides! I think I've been Mieliestronk on Wikipedias, or at least on the web here and there, long before I even had a website by that name. It actually is just a generic thing, this name. In the Afrikaans language in South Africa "Mieliestronk" simply means "corn cob" or "maize cob", nothing more. Old-timers made smoking pipes from the stuff, and I could just as well have called myself "Kruiwa" (wheel-barrow) or any other well-known thingy on South African farms. But I've been Mieliestronk so long now I can't change for the life of me. You will understand, I'm sure. Have a very nice day, Quisqualis, and thanks again. I'm 81 years old and I am a law-abiding South African, believe me, I am! ☺ -- Mieliestronk (talk) 03:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleted References from draft - Institute B61

Thanks for looking into my draft of Institute B61. Unfortunately, I do not understand why you deleted nearly all of my references.

The original draft was rejected because there were not enough references. In the last two weeks I was adding those references from sources as varied as possible: nation-wide magazines and newspapers, city portals, culture portals, film festivals, national culture institutions, national science portals, etc. I cannot find more reliable sources for a non-governmental organisation that organises events merging science, music, and performance.

Please advise.

• Why did you delete those references?
• What other references should I look for?
• What other references can be used for a culture-related NGO?

Thanks for your help. Nick Saturday — Preceding undated comment added 06:05, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Nick Saturday I know that I removed a lot of text, but it's my practice to leave source citations in place, rather than removing them along with the text. It appears that I removed several citations without being aware of it. You may freely put those citations back into the article. I'm sorry to have inconvenienced and confused you.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Quisqualis, thanks for your answer. You gave me a heart-attack for a minute ;-) I will restore the links/references, but I think I will keep the new organisation of the text as you changed it. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Saturday (talk • contribs) 07:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

OhioanSBR

Things are getting a bit strange over on this user's talk page. I would suggest you drop it. You have said numerous times that English is not their first language, without any evidence. In this edit you go back and bold your previous comments in an unfriendly way, and also change a comment that has already been applied to. Time to step back. Possibly (talk) 17:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Ugh, you are right. The bolding was so they would not tend to ignore the whole thing. Still reverting their edits, while shaking my damn head.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:51, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you agree. WP:CIR is not so precisely defined, but it's certainly an issue when it comes to that user's edits. Unfortunately I can't think of an easy way to correct it. Possibly (talk) 17:54, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

What actually galls me the most is the editors who, upon noticing bad edits, uncritically encouraged this person to continue, then left them to their own devices. When you see a red flag, do something, people, like write an emphatic note, rather than a template or nothing at all. Too few page watchers right now, it seems. I think the "stop hand nuvola" may be my new best friend...--Quisqualis (talk) 17:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Morocco

Hello. Regarding this revert. I don't see any problems with that edit of mine. Excuse me if you already know, but perhaps you are not familiar with how sortkeys work. See Help:Category#Sorting category pages. Sorting items for a category list uses the same syntax as a pipe link, but it's not a pipe link and has no effect on the displayed link. It merely sorts the page in question. See Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Morocco. Currently the page 'List of monuments and sites in Tata, Morocco' is alphabetically sorted under L for "List", the first letter of the title (this is result of the revert), instead of being listed under T for "Tata", as I intended by adding the sortkey. If my edit did something wrong or something else I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks. --DB1729 (talk) 20:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

DB1729, please forgive me. I truly thought that was a functioning pipe link! Thanks for the syntax lesson.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

No problem. Seen others do the same and you won't be the last. It's unfortunate that early WP designers chose to use the same character "|" for these two functions, but I guess the other unused characters looked too awkward.

I'm going to revert back to my version shortly after saving this (unless you or someone else beats me to it). Happy New Year! --DB1729 (talk) 20:36, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

HNY!

Dear Quisqualis, I wish you all the best for the new year!

I just read helpful lines from you about portrait pictures. I think there is still a lot potential in WP ("uniformly neutral" instead of "inconsistent - partly advantageous, partly disadvantageous").

Enjoy the rest of the holidays! --F.Blaubiget (talk) 14:39, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

PS: Interesting that you keep "your red name" ;-)

You're being rude

Hey, this kind of comment does not belong on Wikipedia. Please try to maintain a more professional tone, and remember that nobody's "forced" to do anything here. You're a WP:VOLUNTEER, so if you don't want to 'undo their "work" and write it ourselves', then don't, and don't complain about it, either. It's a big wiki, so if you find yourself regularly being rude to editors with less experience than you, then please look for a different way to contribute. There's no need to contribute in ways that lead you to make false accusations of COI or to complain that other editors aren't perfect.

I also notice that you also accused the author of not knowing what he was talking about, but I found the article comprehensible, even though I've never heard of the company or its devices before. I conclude from this that medical devices and the controversies surrounding stents aren't your field. If you decide to continue working with drafts, please remember that you can ask for help in understanding a subject from the relevant WikiProjects. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Ever hear the one about the pot and the kettle?--Quisqualis (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Of course. But I'd make a distinction between telling a peer to maintain our civility standards and saying things like "it's painfully obvious to me that this article's author has absolutely no clue about this company or its field of endeavor" or suggesting that an article is so incomprehensible to you that it must have been written by a bot. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Refresh my memory, please. Where did I complain about incomprehensibility?--Quisqualis (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I encourage you to be a little gentler with less experienced editors. Maybe make that your New Year's resolution, if you're into that sort of thing. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:36, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for understanding on this Wikipedia page--Hacker-index (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editor

Quisqualis, I gave Sarah Shaheenbaz Faizi a last warning on Jan 3, so there's not really much point in scolding them about edits made before that, as you are doing. If you'd care to help me keep an eye out for disruptive editing after my warning, I'd appreciate it. Bishonen | tålk 17:20, 7 January 2021 (UTC).

I thought they were indeffed in Dec. How do WP:NOTHERE and WP:CIR cure themselves with a few days' block? I've reported them to AIV, and hope for an indef. Definitely incorrigibly disruptive.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see your logic. Waiting for the other shoe to drop... Although I think responding to a 3-month-old Talk post is right on the edge.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

No, they've never been blocked. Of course I won't block for "a few days" if there is more disruption after my warning — that would be pointless, as you say. I'll indef, don't worry. (BTW, I just indeffed your friend Hacker-index.) No need for AIV, IMO. Bishonen | tålk 17:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC).

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - January 2021

Issue 8—January 2021

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

2020 is behind us at last. Off Wikipedia, the year has been trying. On Wikipedia, I hope you've found the time you spent here fulfilling and diverting. I've taken the opportunity to place a few end-of-year statistics for reflection below. If you think of any data that would be useful to find (or begin gathering) to gauge the project's success, please let me know. With that, here is what's happening around the project:

Newly recognized content

Buruli ulcer nom. Ajpolino, my first successful FAC Anatomical terms of location nom. Tom (LT), reviewed by ArnabSaha and Aircorn Fish allergy nom. David notMD, reviewed by Bibeyjj Blood culture nom. Spicy, reviewed by Graham Beards Epidural administration nom. Berchanhimez, reviewed by Bibeyjj Charles Bingham Penrose nom. Larry Hockett, reviewed by Esculenta

Nominated for review

Louise Boursier nom. Doug Coldwell Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia nom. Maxim Masiutin Friedreich's ataxia nom. Akrasia25 Kivu Ebola epidemic nom. Ozzie10aaaa UPMC Presbyterian nom. Andrew nyr Crown (anatomy) nom. Bibeyjj, under review by MeegsC Alzheimer's disease Notice of impending featured article review at talk. Management of multiple sclerosis Notice of impending FAR at talk. Major depressive disorder Notice of impending FAR at talk.

Year in Review
With 2020 now in the rear view mirror, a few numbers to give a sense of where our project is at: In 2020 we added a record number of medicine articles (i.e. articles with the WP:MED tag on their talk pages), starting the year with 41,243 and ending with 45,247. The ~4,000 new articles is well above the norm, presumably due to new covid-related articles. In terms of reviewed content, we added three featured articles (Dementia with Lewy bodies, Complete blood count, and Buruli ulcer), and lost three to the ravages of time, leaving our total at 66. We also added 42 newly reviewed good articles from 23 different nominators, bringing our total to 296. See a full list of reviewed content from 2020 here. Outside of reviewed content our contributions are more challenging to measure. I'm sure much our time was spent making small improvements, guiding new editors, removing junk from articles, and dealing with the raging global pandemic (on and off the site). I am interested in ways we can quantify and assess our project's progress going forward, so if anyone has ideas for other data we could find or collect, do let me know.

Re: Genlisea nigrocaulis

Hi there. I was probably following the Carnivorous Plant Database when I created that redirect. As these taxa are no longer considered synonyms, I have pointed Genlisea nigrocaulis to the main Genlisea article for the time being. I have done the same for Genlisea oxycentron and Genlisea pulchella. Best, mgiganteus1 (talk) 03:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Be kind enough

and accept that I do not plan to discuss something which means little to me, nor do I feel the need to have endless debates about once again - nothing. I have the full right to delete or archive whatever I like from my TP. Do not harass me and be civil. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 05:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

If it means little to you, why have you added the same two German Nazi propaganda pix to the article more times than I can count? If you don't want to debate, then stop adding those photos, with no context given whatsoever, to History of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you delete warnings from your Talk, it is, per the talk page guidelines, a silent admission of having read and fully understood them:

• "Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages. Users may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users. (Many new users believe they can hide critical comments by deleting them. This is not true: Such comments can always be retrieved from the page history.)"
  

If you find template warnings and civil requests to be uncivil harrassment, then you can kiss your Wikipedia account goodbye.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

More times then you can count?! Please do check again.

I do not plan to engage in further debate here, as there is a clear lack of good faith and I do not care for the arrogant/unfriendly approach without a solid foundation. There is a lot of context there, as would any other image of any noteworthy faction which played a part in the country's history. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 05:42, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

If you are taking your toys and going home, thank you very much! You sure know how to sling the keywords, don't you?--Quisqualis (talk) 05:50, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

About Arvin Maleki Page

You wrote "Photographic evidence of notability is forgeable", As far as I know, giving the address of the site of the world's largest design contest is enough to prove a point. As I see, he has certificates for all those things and uploads them on his Flickr and Instagram. Please check the URLs and ask any other questions to solve them. Regards. Mohitchairu (talk) 09:35, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Please check WP:RS to verify if a Flicker upload is a RS. Wikipedia is already drowning in bullshit. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

About Draft:Arvin Maleki

Thank you for your response. About his books, the link is from the "National Library and Archives of I.R. Iran" and his name in Persian is "سجاد ملکی", so you can see with this name. also, he translated these books, not writing them, but still, the word "publications" is true for both of them. About his rank in design, the World Design Ranking is the only and the most authoritative reference in the world for ranking designers, please tell me about these items. thanks again,Mohitchairu (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

See your Talk page.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your response again about his books; he changes his profession from computer engineering to industrial design, and he mentioned it in his interviews, and I do not think it is "ridiculous" as you said. By the way, we can not judge someone and his/her profession.Mohitchairu (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Mohitchairu, please observe the talk page convention of indenting posts using colons, as is done by the vast majority of Wikipedia posters.

You continue to drain the resources of Wikipedia with your blatant hoax of a draft, for unknown ends. All I can tell you at this point is I was the last user on Wikipedia to give it any time, other than yourself, who continues to seek petty amusement in this rude and time-wasting fashion. If your were intending a send-up of modern social values in the "creative class" and its self-promotion, you haven't succeeded by my standards. You have made yourself look pretty ridiculous, though, with the fake websites and PR/social media entries. Maleki, as described in the article, is not an actual person, but an invention. I'm not really amused, although my heart has been further hardened against would-be promoters on Wikipedia. Now please p1ss off. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

As mentioned above, please p1ss off, and don't attempt to alter Wikipedia edit history by unauthorized removal of posts on others' talk pages. It doesn't work; the history remains unchanged. Beginner mistake.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I preferred to clear the discussion because I do not see anything from you but insults and personal comments.Mohitchairu (talk) 18:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I have zero respect for your preferences. You are attempting to exploit Wikipedia to promote a fraud, apparently in some sincerity. I just don't get your persistence in wasting the time of others. Please go away. Never post on my talk page again, or risk the consequences.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Presumption of Good Faith

It is {WP} policy for editors to presume good faith on the part other editors, not issuing insults regarding their edits. I recommend Quisqualis to review that policy in regards to my edit of Steve Cohen, now restored with a more accurate reference, which Quisqualis could have easily found if he had tried.. --Zeamays (talk) 22:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Civility

(edit conflict) If you have not already, please take a moment to review one of the core pillars of our project, WP:CIVILITY. If you have read it already - it's probably time to read it again. Edits like this and this are not what I would expect to see from long-term contributors to the project. SQL^{Query me!} 17:32, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I would strongly suggest that you stop doing this. SQL^{Query me!} 17:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

• Not sure where to put this, but since it related to the above; I've semi-protected this page to prevent further posts by the likely blocked user behind this. In return I'd ask you (Quisqualis, not SQL) not to revert the header back. If nothing else, there's a non-zero chance they aren't actually the blocked user, and then I'd look like an asshole helping you be mean to a helpless IP editor. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

By now SQL may have noticed that the IP(s) never made a header for their unsigned post. They may be the subject of my recent SPI. They have no right to change the header I put on my Talk for their post. I'm not being uncivil, in light of what I'm up against. I'm being direct. Wikipedia is being assailed on all sides by bad actors. Think public toilet wall. Or disabled car left in the Bronx in 1972. I have no patience for these ill-intentioned pests.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:56, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

You don't get to mock / taunt people just because they didn't set a header. There is no exception in WP:CIVILITY for abusing users accused of being sockpuppets. I get being frustrated, and lashing out with a "fuck you" or similar, as Floquenbeam mentions - but repeatedly edit warring to mock and taunt is something else entirely. If anything, it's likely to encourage them to double down on their efforts - because they're getting the attention that they wanted. SQL^{Query me!} 01:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for pointing to the history of the Arabic Diacritics page. I'm very new to Wikipedia, so I found the history a litte hard to read (it's very laconic), but I think I found the relevant contributor, and I've sent him a message by adding a section to his Talk page. (I hope that's the right way to do it.) If I am reading his Talk page correctly, he is still an active contributor. I hope I will hear from him. Or her, come to think of it. Again, thanks. NC Daoist (talk) 17:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

NC Daoist, good detective work. Hope it yields the source you seek. Note that, in earlier Wikipedia articles, the dreaded Original research is often found. Hope this is not the case here.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

I have heard from the contributor whose name I found, and s/he wrote that the relevant assertion was already there at the time s/he did some corrections S/He did, however, agree that the relevant assertion is "common knowledge" among those of us who study Arabic, and s/he suggested I do an Internet search for an authority who states it. I tried that once, but I'll try it again. NC Daoist (talk) 18:52, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

IP film article editor

Hey there, I see you recently left a note at User talk:2600:1700:7FB0:39C0:2C4B:F6BF:1F68:DE69, but the current IP is (was? moves quick) 2600:1700:7FB0:39C0:D4AA:8417:A4B0:C4A3 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)). I ask because the ...DE69 IP hadn't edited since November and the ...C4A3 was from today. Do you have a backlog of this editor's prior IPs that you have noticed over time? A rangeblock might be attainable if the disruption continues and you have the backup. JesseRafe (talk) 20:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

From what I recall, I found the IP edit as one of A3's first edits to WP. It was something to do with John Travolta and the name 'Wrath', I think. (Sadly, they have an extensive history of edits.) I just clicked on one of the oldest, and landed on the 'wrath' edit. However, that doesn't quite make sense, and I lost the history by looping back with the back button. Be sure to escalate my warnings if you attempt to block.

Here is the edit, which was followed 6 hours later by a string of edits from a related IP to the same article. Best of luck to you.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Ah, was hoping you had a list of the others of the pattern. I know I've seen this editor before; I have a lot of their targets already on my watchlist, e.g. saw them on They Live and Al Leong at the same time. Reported to ARV, because it looked like they were still active at that exact moment (and purposefully didn't write on their talk) and maybe they noticed and were spooked or were done for the day. Unless they're switching IPs while editing disruptively in a very short timeframe, admins are unlikely (and for good reason) to institute a rangeblock, unless it's really really systematic and ongoing. If you find what led you to that older IP and any threads that tie them, maybe it's better to catalog at WP:LTA than ARV (where I was hoping for real-time block on at least one account). Cheers! JesseRafe (talk) 20:55, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Are you familiar with dynamic IPs? I believe this person has an IP that spontaneously changes without their input. Given that I was the first to warn them after many months of their blithely making bad edits, it's possible that WP is their hobby and they believe they are editing constructively. Not that they shouldn't be stopped, though!--Quisqualis (talk) 21:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
