Arbitration case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 28, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, CodeLyokotalk 04:57, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We had a rogue-ish reviewer who slapped a GA icon on this article. I've been pruning some but I have to run and get the kids--at least it's not flooding right now, haha. If you have a minute, can you look at my edits to see if they're over the top? Thanks! Drmies (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies:, most of your edits look good to me. The article is about the song-- not the band, not the video director, not the band's subsequent activities. The only part where I am unsure is if some content about the music video of the song might be retained, including the critique that it was "gritty". I am unsure if there should be a separate article of the video, in addition to the song article? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:39, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

sum -41

A talisman that causes bad weather to leave me, and, ... well, I'm not sure what else will happen. I just found it in the basement of this weird old castle I inherited. That's also where Yomangani must have escaped from...

I just want you to know that where I am, it's −41 °C (−42 °F). (The magic point where convert templates just become redundant) I understand this predicament is heading your way later in the week? Boy I hope so not! Outriggr (talk) 10:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If wind chill counts, my personal record is −54 °F (−48 °C), which are numbers incomprehensible to Venezuelans. I don't put a coat on anymore until temps drop below 20 °F (−7 °C).
Outriggr, I am deep into trying to repair years of neglect at Tourette syndrome; I have lots to update still, major sections to completely re-write, a lot of repeated text to eliminate, stuff to move around-- but once I am further along, might I get you and Yomangani to deal with my tortured prose? That's at least a week away, if I don't freeze in the interim.
Stay warm up there! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:50, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's pretty brutal. The temperature, I mean. Well, it's -43 now, and -48 with wind chill (all C), so perhaps I'll tie you by day's end! In all fairness, I don't edit wikipedia outside.
Yes, sure, although I think you are much too modest. I'll be around, though.
In an attempt to think of a Spanish salutation, my brain said "adelante", and I doubt that would get me very far, but wiktionary says "into the future", which is pleasing in a way. Outriggr (talk) 14:07, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Adelante is actually a very polite greeting used, for example, when you encounter another person trying to get into one of those revolving doors the same time as you are, and you offer to them to move forward first to escape the wind chill! Thanks, riggrS !! I am determined to stay focused on that TS mess today, so off to work I go! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It could mean "Let's go!" - speeding off in a car or starting a fight. Pick which of those you want to do with Sandy. Yomanganitalk 14:18, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't fight as much these days; it's too tiring, and there are too many fights that need to be had on Wikipedia, so someone else can have them. I'd rather speed off in a car ... to a relaxing place, instead! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphens

Greetings,

remind me, is there some script to correct dashes/hyphens? I'd like to apply it to User:Jo-Jo Eumerus/1669 Etna eruption if there is one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 21:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Not that I am aware of: Tony1 may have one. If he doesn't, ping me, and I will fix them for you. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:40, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I ran the script and left a query about one item. Please ask User:Ohconfucius to give access to his composite script. Tony (talk) 23:01, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Tony1 ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:06, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Tony1. Regarding the item you asked about, it's a range, so dash is correct. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:40, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who wants to install the script directly can find it here: User talk:GregU/dashes.js. Note the instructions at the top. (It's easier than it looks) Outriggr (talk) 08:21, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather ask riggr to run it ... (like the sound of that?). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:47, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy sees sea slugs down by the seashore. What a panoply, and before my coffee. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:46, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Such visions appear when Sandy swills shandy. Kablammo (talk) 13:48, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[Darwinbish stares.] "Dogriggr, last edited 10 years ago"? (Darwinbish has a script that tells her this.) So what are those howlers then, mylings? [Bites the revenant dog experimentally]. Hmmm. Tastes a bit wispy. darwinbish 14:20, 16 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]
