Good to see your name

Just a note saying it is good to see your name back around. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:29, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TonyBallioni, it is good to be back! I injured myself fencing (Longsword, so ouch!) last year and then life got in the way. I hope to get back into the swing of things here and edit with at least some regularity if not as often as I used to. I feel bad for dropping away just when we were to be getting NPR up and running, sorry for that, but looks like you have done a great job there. Also, congratulations on your mop!

Wikipedia:Third party opinion

Not getting involved in this.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

As you seem interested in the case, and will no doubt know something about it having read the request form and will be completely impartial (not being a Muslim) might I ask you to give your view under this dispute resolution mechanism? The issue is that the matter has been discussed in two RfCs. The result of the first one was not accepted by NeilN, who claimed that it gave him carte blanche to disregard WP:RS, WP:V, and Jimbo's "principle of least astonishment". To quell dissent, the article was protected indefinitely and whenever the issue was raised on the talk page that was protected as well.

In the hope of resolving the issue, a second RfC was held (Talk:Islamic calendar/Archive 5). The close was unambiguous and NeilN has been unable to wikilawyer his way out of it. The point at issue was this:

Since the picture of a man preaching in a mosque has been captioned "Muhammad preaching at the Farewell Pilgrimage" the impression given to readers is that the Pilgrimage is nothing more than a homily in a mosque, when it is actually an outdoor event lasting several days which is attended by thousands of people.

To dispel this false impression the question was asked "Should the caption state that the Farewell Sermon was preached outdoors with Muhammad seated on his camel?" The question was answered in the affirmative and the RfC was closed accordingly.

Do you think it reasonable that NeilN should keep the article protected so that it cannot be edited to align it with consensus? 2.28.95.220 (talk) 20:42, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Watchlist layout

I noticed your posts at the village pump as I'd made a semi-related post recently. If you have Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist enabled in your preferences you might find the code I wrote useful. Also, if you ever need to quickly upload screenshots to show people, but don't want to upload to Commons or sign up for another website, imgbb.com is extremely useful. You can upload there for free without an account and then share the link. nagualdesign 05:25, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nagualdesign: Thank you. I will give it a try. I have started puttering around with HTML/CSS/Javascript but I am a long way from having a grip on it. I understand old time procedural programming but never really got the hang of user interfaces and now it is all user interface. Jbh ^Talk 00:17, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert myself, but if you have any questions feel free to post them on my talk page. nagualdesign 00:20, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will. Jbh ^Talk 00:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kiddie Kapers Parade

I've added more material and many more references. The parade spans many generations and is a big event in the area. Let me know what else I should include. ~Youngnoah — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youngnoah (talk • contribs) 04:53, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
