Duplicate comment at Talk:Astrology

I noticed that your !vote in the RfC at Talk:Astrology appears twice (once in the list and again in the "Discussion" subsection). XOR'easter (talk) 00:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

I had it misplaced at first, and moved it to the correct position. You may have spotted the moment where I hadn't removed the original, but it should fixed. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 12:25, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! XOR'easter (talk) 17:51, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Mentioned on ANI

Just a heads up that someone (not me) has mentioned you at ANI: diff - MrOllie (talk) 19:20, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I rather expected that. Thanks for the heads up. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 17:34, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

See Fish and chips

I’m an American living in England, that guy is wrong. Doug Weller talk 10:52, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Oh I know he is. I'm having a hard time believing he took my "just fork en.Wikipedia" suggestion seriously. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 11:45, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Oversight vs. block

How I understand it, oversight is done immediately, from a "better safe than sorry" point of view. Blocking is only done after it has been established that outing really happened, again from a "better safe than sorry" position. As this case showed, not all claims of outing turn out to be correct. Outing = harm to the person outed, blocking = harm to the person blocked, both should be given equal care. Fram (talk) 08:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Blocking does not do any harm to the person. So I disagree on that point. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 12:49, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Please stop the harassment

I don't know why you've decided to harass me for the last few days, over multiple pages, but it's not appreciated. Please leave me alone. Korny O'Near (talk) 00:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

@Korny O'Near: Using the interaction analyzer, I see Talk:COVID-19 misinformation, Talk:Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, and Wikipedia talk:No Nazis. On all those pages, HandThatFeeds was already active, and then you showed up. It really does not help your case that you make arguments using racist dog whistles like race and intelligence [1], or that you equate communism to far-right racism [2]... which really comes across as downplaying racism. --Elephanthunter (talk) 15:30, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't think this user and I have interacted on those first two talk pages. I was referring to Wikipedia talk:No Nazis and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents; in both cases, "The Hand That Feeds You" jumped in to respond to my comments with personal attacks against me. If you want to make personal attacks against me as well, thats your choice; I don't think it strengthens your case. Korny O'Near (talk) 15:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

@Korny O'Near: You are clearly here to argue on the side of far-right conspiracy theories and anti-LGBT groups/individuals. AGF is not a suicide pact, and I cannot ignore your behavior.

Do not post on my talk page again. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 16:35, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Korny O'Near (talk) 17:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Parnips

Please read (or re-read, if it has been a while) WP:BEFORE and WP:PRODNOM. "Unsourced stub" is not a valid deletion rationale, and it certainly would not have been valid at AFD. I found it very easy to add a journal article citation to this unsourced article; looking for a way to improve the article is a necessary precursor to nominating it for deletion (If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD and For articles, consider alternatives to deletion like improving the page). – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:35, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

@Jonesey95: Look, it was a virtually empty page with no assertions of meeting WP:GNG or anything really at all. Glad you found a source, but I had no idea where to even look because a cursory Google search turned up nothing that matched the taxonomy given, so I wasn't even sure it was real. Please don't condescend to me, there was no reason to even post this on my talk. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 23:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I did a web search for Parnips is a genus of the family Figitidae, order Hymenoptera (the entire content of the stub) and this journal article was the sixth result, after Wikipedia mirrors. That's basic WP:BEFORE stuff. Also, articles about recognized taxonmic groups are generally kept. No condescension here, just a reminder. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:32, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

No, your phrasing in your initial message was definitely condescending. I think we're done here. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 14:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Australian Q related shooting event

Hi, I would like to politely request some help with adding a recent Qanon related shooting in QLD, Australia.

6 fatalities:

Constable Rachel McCrow, 29, Constable Matthew Arnold, 26, and Alan Dare, 58 (neighbour to the house where the shooting occurred).

3 assailants killed during shoot out. Nathaniel Train, 46, Gareth Train 47 and Stacey Train 45.

Gareth has posted on about conspiracy theories on facebook

There can be confusion about Stacey as she is referred to as both Nathaniel’s ex-wife and as Gareth’s current partner. I believe she was both. It appears that it was his current wife that made the missing person’s report the police were investigating when they arrived at the house. They were ambushed by the three assailants who were described by two surviving officers as wearing camouflage and hiding in the bushes.

I think it’s important to get verified information up as this will, no doubt, be spun over the coming weeks as it trickles into international news. I just don’t want to make a mess of it or blow out the page with too much detail and/or not enough of the right detail. I also wasn’t sure which talk page it should go on or at what point. My preference is to leave this here with you as a kind of place keeper and I will continue to monitor and come back here if I see anything that specifically references Q although it’s clear to me as bits and pieces emerge that it is Q related. EthicalAugur (talk) 16:46, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't think I'll have time to get to it today, but I'll try to look at it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up! — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 19:06, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
