User:Abrish211

I may be wrong but it looks like User:Abrish211 (who you blocked) used sock-puppet User:HPinjani to use Wikipedia:Twinkle to vandalize 50 articles in less than two hours. If I am reading this right it looks like User:HPinjani=User:SMadhwani=User:Abrish211. I also filled out an ANI on this. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, Fountains of Bryn Mawr. I'm cleaning up now. This vandal is using a dynamic IP at several articles. That is a problem. I would hate to have to protect a bunch of articles.

Fountains and stalkers, please click this once in a while, for a while. Thank you! Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:35, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Will you handle two obvious socks of HPinjani: User:Harsh Pinjani India, User:Harsh Pinjani. I reverted vandalism by Harsh Pinjani India but don't usually work with blocking. PrimeHunter (talk) 07:48, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Done, PrimeHunter. A bit of an odd one. They obviously link together by restoring each other's content, but why are they here? I see odd non-RS links added. Is this a paid spammer? I see an interest in SEO articles. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:27, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. Maybe a spammer (first known edit) who got upset their links were removed, and started vandalising. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:40, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Ah, yes, PrimeHunter, he's an seo guy. Search engines show that. Not sure where he works now, but I hope it's for his first edit's site: http://www.seonetlab.com/. Click "Get in touch". :) Not sure if I'd hire that company. What a lemon of a website. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:50, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Cheese spread

Here's a cheese spread I didn't know about: [1]. I didn't know they made one. Perhaps you would like this, eh? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:45, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Forgot, if you can't access Flickr, it's an image of Marmite cheese spread... North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, North America. Yes, blocked, still. Oh, you tried to give me a surprise Marmiting, eh? Oooooooooooooooooooooh! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:27, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, I came across this and though about you. Maybe it tastes better with the cheese? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:23, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Well thank you. :) And no. It just ruins good cheese. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:36, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Check this out

Look at what I just removed from the List of fermented foods article (diff). I swear, I didn't add it there. Is it a fermented food? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:16, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Gross! That's it. I'm going to delete Marmite and risk getting recalled. :)

Is Marmite fermented, you ask. Hmmmm, does rotten, putrid, rancid, and fetid count as fermented?

See also: stinky tofu (I've smelled it and it smells like poo. On a desert island, I'd prefer a case of that rather than Marmite wash up on shore.)

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:29, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Never had the stinky tofu, but I would definitely at least try it. That said, if you were on a desert island, and could only have champagne or caviar, which would you choose? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:36, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Caviar. You? Champagne is gross and makes me immediately dizzy. It is the opposite of goldfish. Champagne is rare and therefore highly valued, but it is not very good. If it were common, it would be reviled. Goldfish are common, but if very rare, would be considered the most beautiful fish. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:42, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Champagne all the way. Catching a buzz on a deserted island would have its merits... North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:46, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Oh yes, and thank you for thanking me for my creation of a new Italian cheese article today. I'm working from the many red links listed at List of Italian cheeses. Plenty of potential for new articles here. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:47, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, great job on your cheese project. Now, images are needed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. More images of Chinese cheeses are also needed, right? I'm heading out eventually, it's the Fourth of July here today. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:56, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Casu marzu

Oh yes, and before I depart, here's the ultimate, casu marzu, an Italian cheese that contains live insect larvae (maggots). Yes! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:01, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Gross too! You really like odd foods, eh? Well, you'd love China. There's some stinky stuff here. Then again, the West has salami and cheese, which smells like feet. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Nah, just trying to gross you out. Actually, I like unique foods...ha. China's on my bucket list to visit someday. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:20, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Don't come here! There is something they eat here in Isan, sometimes twice a day, that is so vile, if you were walking along a path in the forest in the beautiful State of Main in the Fall and caught a whiff of it, you would be leaving the trail to look for something you would expect to have to report to the police as the remains of a week old homicide. And there's also the fried scorpions and barbecued rat that are a take-away snack on a stick in every market. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung กุดผึ้ง. I ate grasshoppers or crickets in Thailand, not sure which. They were okay. I think I ate some scorpion but I don't remember. There were grubs too, but I passed. You refer to green papaya salad, but that is good and doesn't smell, does it? What smells? I remember seeing roast rat but didn't eat any. I think that was in Pai. I like Pai. Five pm +32 degrees then 6 pm quickly -1700 Kelvin. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. I don't remember that. Yes, pickled fine, aged fine, fermented is gross. I heard something about Iceland's fermented shark that can clear a room. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:19, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll pick at a bag of fresh fried crickets with an occasioal beer before dinner, The Somtam they serve here is absolutely vile. I gag if I go near it. I think it's something to do with their home made fermented fish sauce. We have a lovely papaya tree right outside the back door. Ripe papaya is nice. I won't have the somtam in the house. When my wife wants her daily ration she has to go up the road to her mother's house. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:26, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Kudpung กุดผึ้ง. With so many culinary choices, why eat things that make one gag? People sure are strange.

It is common here for certain people to have an aversion to the smell of cooking goat. I love it but am dissuaded from making it due to some cry babies in the house.

Papayas are great. I am often in the countryside and they are easily found on public roadside trees. Free, fresh papaya is a good reason to live where we do, eh? Funny thing is, unlike other fruits, it is hard to spot an odd-tasting one. Sometimes they look great, but are not. We also have roadside Clausena lansium, wild lychee, star fruit, longan, and others. Lovely! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:55, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Pardon if I'm interrupting. Funny to see this mentioned, in the last 12 months I tried Japanese nattō which is their stringy "stinky tofu". Have not tried crickets or silkworm larvae but saw them as street food in Korea many times. Took a pass on the wriggling just-cut-up octopus sushi in Korea too. I have to admit that the food choices unusual to my palate weren't shocking, just interesting, but seeing whale meat for sale casually in a Japanese grocery store was shocking. - Bri (talk) 18:04, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Bri, you are welcome to join in. These chitchats are technically not allowed, but tend to result in new articles or content, from time to time, so IAR. (IAR instantly makes me think of "ear".)

I'm pro-whale meat. (Please don't hate me. I love whales.) I love piggies and piggies are as smart and sensitive as dogs. As long as people are going to eat meat, they might as well get the most meat for each animal they kill. Thousands of piggies living horrible lives then getting killed could be exchanged for a single whale living a good life then getting killed. (How they kill a whale is not great, though.) A tofu-eating planet would be best, but that won't happen. Thanks for letting me bend your iar. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:55, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Kudpung: I missed the party! For what it's worth, I would pass on the rat-on-a-stick (see new article created). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:43, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Not far from me in a province called Sakhon Nakhon there are several farms that breed dogs for human consumption. In France where I lived for a great many years, horsemeat is a speciality and steaks are quite delicious - there a horse butcher shop often called Chevaline, in most French towns. But dog meat... Na. I think the Chinese eat it too. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk)

I've asked for a pic of rat-on-a-stick at the Vietnam and Thai wikiproject talks. Fingers crossed.

We have dog restaurants here still. It is hard to see dogs in cages for that purpose. Dogs = love. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Well done, Northamerica1000, Anna was right about these talks sometimes leading to the creation of new articles. I will try to remember to take a photo of a rat-on-a-stick for it next time I'm in the market. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:55, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I enjoy creating new food articles. Others can be found at WP:NEWFOOD. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Kudpung in advance for the forthcoming image. Now, what other Thai market images are we missing??? :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Northamerica1000!! I just searched at commons, but did not type "barbecue". Well done. But no stick. Does it still count? :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Using the image below in the article for the time being. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:11, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Barbecued rats for sale near Suphan Buri, Thailand

Kudpung, please keep an eye out for the below. You've opened a can of worms. And I hear they're delicious, but not as good as worm-on-a-stick.

Yes, interest in improving food-related articles! Collaborations can be quite difficult to find most of the time. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:50, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Northamerica1000, of course you know there are three images in that cat. Yours is probably best.

Here are some more that need images. I'll check at commons and strike any where images can be found and put into articles.

Checked, no commons images for the above six. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:31, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Admin candidate search

Anna, I just added an individual who I think is highly qualified to the list. Just wondering if this is still an active initiative? Haven't seen much happening there. Also, I was thinking of adding a column for the person who adds a name, just to keep track of my own additions, if you think that is sensible? - Bri (talk) 18:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bri. Well, there are around 60 entries needing vetting. I was waiting for more before getting started. This is because last time it took over 200 names to get results. But, yes, it is active. I guess there are no more names coming in, and I should get started on the vetting. I will get back into it. Thank you kindly for adding the name. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Sure. Hope I didn't jump the gun on adding an assessment on the last addition; I wasn't sure if that was reserved for admin's or other regulars to the page. - Bri (talk) 22:25, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bri. Of course it is fine. Anyone can do anything at those pages. Thank you so much for contributing! :) And do not worry to much about the AfD figures. Recent RfAs show a trend to not caring too much about that. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:37, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

If I can be so bold as to plug another one who I think is a strong candidate, it would be Nagle. - Bri (talk) 22:45, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Nagle is on the list. I will vet Nagle and Finetooth before any others. Many thanks. Now, what we need is a group of hundreds of items to be vetted. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

I should point out that he is a public figure, as stated on his userpage. Just thought you should not be surprised by this, as it's kinda unusual for an admin candidate. - Bri (talk) 23:06, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

That could be an issue, but he can decide for himself. Admin actions inevitably upset some people, and those people have been known to make threats. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:12, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Finetooth and Nagle both received talk post. Thank you for the suggestions. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Independent

Hi. No i do not. I have cited sources from ln.edu.hk and International Christian University and I plan to do more sourcing to build the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loststeak (talk • contribs) 06:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, Loststeak. Okay, you do not work there. Understood. I am seeking to have it deleted per WP:42. I don't think there are any sources out there. If there are, clearly not enough. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:00, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Please wait a moment

Hello. Can't you wait for me to update the article? Hong Kong University Press articulated on this in a book. This is a secondary source since Hong Kong University was not involved in this network.
