apologies
I'm sorry if I have placed any stress on you in a real life sense. I saw a thread at ANI, and I took what I thought was the best possible actions. You and I have talked before on wiki, and I consider you a good person. I'm sorry if my actions have caused you any stress. — Ched : ? 01:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Stress? Not me, Ched. I thought your action was absolutely correct, and I'm glad you had the balls to do the proper thing--I didn't want to ask for that, I wanted someone to make up their mind. Doc James's intervention was not as kosher, unfortunately. I appreciate your note, and I always have a beer cold for you here, in the special Ched corner. Drmies (talk) 02:03, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

CSDarrow & the SPLC
Hi Drmies, sorry to bug you but could you take a look at CSDarrow actions in the Talk:Men's_rights_movement#Removal_of_SPLC_section_and_material_in_the_lead. thread. He's crossing a line here[1] - there is not a consensus for this, yet at least (the thread is just over 2 days old and there has been very little input, no at teh moment no clear cut consensus either way). Also his repeated interjections in that thread are fudging the issue and his haranguing of those who disagree isn't helping. Furthermore he seems to think that the WP:DR processes can be used to bludgeon his views onto community. This is not a way to reach consensus - even ppl who support his views have noted that[2]--Cailil talk 16:32, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Cailil--you're not bugging, but I gotta run and do a few other things before I can get to that. Thanks for the note, Drmies (talk) 16:44, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
COI on the latest drama
Mr. Vega, according to his own LinkedIn page, attended the MFA writing program at Columbia University in 1991-94 [3]. Since he edits under his own name, and since his IP geolocated to Brooklyn when he dropped his drawers a couple of times, I don't consider that I'm outing him. And according to her own article here, Ms. Filipacchi, as certainly the entire world must know by now, entered the MFA writing program at Columbia in 1990. They've known each other for over 20 years. The Eddievega account was silent for nearly two years, then the moment this scandal erupts, he shows up here [4]. He definitely has a COI, and the pages where he's edited should be thus tagged, which is the way I tagged them. I also started a sock investigation on him [5], since he's pushing his COI from two different accounts (one of them created last night) and an IP. SO--what shall we do? I say the COI tags I originally placed must be restored. Do we agree? Also, he's claiming, lol, that I'm the one with the COI since I've been trying to clean up the articles associated with his friend, all four of which were a promotional mess. Thanks. Qworty (talk) 19:14, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think you need to notify all accounts and IPs named in that SPI that the case exists. LadyofShalott 19:37, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding that. I certainly got the impression that he had some personal connection to Miss Filipacchi, but I wasn't sure what it might have been. His only significant prior activity was making self-promotional edits on the Murdaland article so it seemed likely to me that he had some conflict of interest here too.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 21:23, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Qworty, thanks for the detail. Feel free to reinstate the tags I removed (two or three, can't remember). Good luck with the SPI; I do think you got a case but let's see what CU has to say. As for your supposed COI--if I were to believe those claims I'd be a hardcore Republican or some such thing since I reverted many an editor on biographies of politicians I can't stand. Drmies (talk) 23:50, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- I have noted some additional concerns regarding possible COI editing. Certainly seems like there was something going on with many articles related to Miss Filipachi.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 04:44, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

- Well, he only said some stuff on the talk page that you subsequently removed and, unless you think GSBeck is his account, hasn't edited that article at all. I don't support having such a notice unless he is significantly working on the article either at the talk page or the article itself. A single bit of soap-boxing is not sufficient to me.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 05:55, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Another Block Evasion IP
You all might have missed this one since it edited very early this morning. I would recommend just blocking that entire range for one month since that guy doesn't seem to be giving up. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks Homer. I don't do range blocks--and from the IPs I remember it'd be a wide range--wasn't there a 118 in there? Anyway, I appreciate the revert--this person is like a fly. You swat at them, and the next day you swat again. Drmies (talk) 23:31, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- It was 118, now it is 117.205., same ISP though. The range is over Patiala, which has a population of 405,164 people. So, we could block the range, but it would upset alot of people. It could be said that those same people may use the Punjabi Wikipedia, as Patiala is in the Punjab state in India and a range block here wouldn't affect them. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:41, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

They have twice daily flights to Miami, but it looks like your best bet is to connect through Charlotte.

Hallo there Drmies and assorted stalkers—I was going to move
- I think there's a simpler way to do it: I'll delete the AfC submission as housekeeping--it's a duplicate. Go ahead and move, and if you like, clean the hell out of it. Tell you what, there's a DYK in it: it's an important topic. Ask Malik Shabazz for help, maybe, or Soman. Drmies (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Soundeth good. I'm actually packing and cleaning (or rather, should be packing and cleaning) (going back home this week!), but that can be my New Project. Huzzah. Is there a more "official" way of doing this if I come across a similar situation, or should I just not worry about it? Ignatzmice•talk 01:24, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- We recently acquired G13, for abandoned AfC drafts. You could stick that on there and explain on the talk page or the edit summary. I don't know if you can slap G6 on it and with a parameter explain what's going on. School's out, I suppose: good luck with finals, if you still have any. Drmies (talk) 01:41, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- G13. Okay. School is not quite out for most people, I think; I'm actually taking a gap year, and I've been helping out at a cool folk-life place for the past month. (I'd link to its article, but I'd have to create it first, and having done NPP/AfD I know it probably wouldn't stand a chance.) But now I'm heading home. Ignatzmice•talk 01:54, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Now isn´t this silly? .
Look what I found in the Anachronism article. Just nonsense, because if The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, 1498, depicts oranges, which were brought to Europe by Portuguese traders from India in the 15th century and were unknown at the time and place of the Last Supper, than they are probably not oranges, but buns. If Leonardo did not know anything about oranges than, consequently he could not depict them. That is why this is not an anachronism. Picture removed... Warrington (talk) 10:36, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think it is fairly obvious that they are not oranges, but doughnuts, probably jam filled, hence the reddish hue. SpinningSpark 11:50, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Good thing the NYT isn't reading my talk page because holy moly this is exactly the kind of thing that feminism ("the radical notion that women are people") and other common-sense philosophies have railed against for years. Gods are male, goddesses are sub. Drmies (talk) 15:12, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- That is messed up. I look at some of the god/goddess cats sometimes, and I'm pretty sure that there are others where <Deities in X> is the parent with subcats of <Gods in X> and <Goddesses in X> that are on an equal level. LadyofShalott 23:20, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Deities would be better. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Drmies, I just took a look, and Gods by culture and Goddesses by culture are both subcats of Deities by culture, and - as far as I can tell - that's the way it's been for a good while. Did you perhaps misread the see also note as a parent category? It is instructive, also, to read the description at the top of Category:Deities. LadyofShalott 14:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. You deleted Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Valin Shinyei a few days ago as being promotional. The original author did a copy/paste recreation today at Valin Shinyei. I don't have a strong opinion about he appropriateness of the article (though I don't think it meets G11 - yes the person writing it probably has a conflict of interest, but that in and of itself doesn't qualify it for G11). In any event, I have done a history merge from the deleted AFC revisions. Since I restored something you deleted, I wanted to let you know. --B (talk) 22:11, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Cullather
Ha! I'll definitely do what I can to help, although I'm not familiar with writing academic biographies; WP:PROFESSOR has always been mysterious to me. I've not read his faculty page or anything else much regarding him, so I know almost nothing about him other than what he's mentioned in class; I had no clue about pretty much everything that you've found. I do know about documentation here that I can check, however. Among other things, I know that he worked (at least for a little while) in the office of US Representative
- That would be great, and an easy cum laude. PROF basically says that an academic is notable if she's made a notable impression in the field, and those reviews (five already for two books) claim that he did, so that's easy. But what most PROFs lack is basic biographical information, the factual stuff. MA and PhD dates are easy to find, but DOB, military career, church things, whatever, those are more difficult to ascertain, usually. BTW, you should really, really write up Robert Fulk and, if you can, take a class with him before you leave. He's an institution in Old English studies and, from what I understand, a really nice man. Drmies (talk) 23:03, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
- Googling what little I know about the Hamilton connection produced a bunch of pages. This story from December 1986 reminded me — he was Hamilton's press secretary, and he left at some point in 1986, since in March he was still in that position. Job history. You mention church: in class he implied that he was Catholic, and see here, but it's really not a good enough source for mainspace. Married to Melanie Castillo-Cullather per this page. The bits about nation-building sound particularly interesting; the course in question is "Modernity and Modernization in International History", so you can imagine that nation-building is a core topic. Been relaxing on here for a while and need to get back to working on the project; I'll let you integrate this bits, or I'll do them when the project is done. Nyttend (talk) 01:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry to ask you to do something for me, but is there a chance you could create an article (at least a stub) for qualifying exams for PhD candidates) and I've worked under (and been substantially influenced by) him. Plus, I'd like to be able to ask to get a photo of him for a WP article "that somebody else created". Nyttend (talk) 16:57, 2 May 2013 (UTC)]
- Sure thing. But give me a day or so. And I'll get back to Cullather too. Project going well? Drmies (talk) 16:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! Turned in the project on Tuesday; I thought of checking back here because he just notified me (already!) that it's graded and ready to pick up. Graduation is tomorrow, so I'll probably not be able to do anything regarding Linenthal or Cullather for a few days either. Oh, by the way, see Talk:Reamer Barn; you're not the only one surprised by the absence of a photo. Nyttend (talk) 17:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

User:JoshBlitz and AFC issues
User:JoshBlitz has been repeatedly resubmitting an article at AFC without attempting to comply with the decline reasons. It's been declined 3 times now and he's reverted/resubmitted it 6 times. You reverted him once and I've attempted to discuss this with him but nothing has worked. While this isn't a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, AFC is already backlogged and he's only making it worse. A look at his talk page reveals serious issues understanding the point of AFC, sourcing, and the need to communicate with other editors. Any suggestions on what to do at this point?

As with Andreas, I think you and I also got off to a bad start, so I wanted to come here and (1) thank you for your kind comments on Andreas' talk page and (2) apologize for any uncivil comments I launched your way in the past. Tensions are running high these days and I think we have all done things we now regret, so anyway, sorry about that - I know you're a long time contributor and I think we actually might agree more than we disagree. I also have a daughter, the same age as yours, and I totally feel you w.r.t. gendering - I do my best to just treat her as a kid, but the world doesn't. Anyway, just saying I look forward to further collaboration with you. --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 13:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Same here, Obi. This whole thing is bothering me greatly, I don't mind telling you, and I hope I didn't get too carried away. I just made some edits to the Filipacchi article, but none of them pertaining to this particular controversy, only to the second one, perhaps. You know, I hadn't read Qworty's commentary on Filipacchi (no one pointed that way--most accusations were made without diffs and such) and I think they're way over the top, but I'm going to stay out of that particular one. I don't have much of an opinion on Filipacchi as an author or an activist: she's obviously notable by our standards, as are her individual novels, and the articles obviously weren't well-written by the time the whole horde, including you and me, got to them. As JPL quickly became the scapegoat for the category issue (and not entirely undeserved), so Qworty quickly became the figurehead for "retaliatory editing". I assume my edits there can easily be called that, though I believe that a WP editor with some sense will see that a. they're in line with WP:V, NPOV, etc. and b. I'm more on Filipacchi's side with the category problem slash perception and thus have no reason to retaliate. I've edited hundreds such articles, and unfortunately much of that is trimming.
Anyway, is there a "big" category discussion going on? Will I be able to understand it? I was thinking this morning on my way to work about something I just ran up against the other day: categorizing a book as "1638 publication" or so is true but not helpful if you're looking for books published in that time period-say the 1630, or the first half of that century. Plowing through subcategories is irritating. Even intersecting categories won't help there, unless it's possible to search for date ranges.
I really appreciate your note. I hope I haven't been too uncivil; if so, please forgive me. I suppose I was being pointy in our little edit war, where we were both careful enough to not get our stupid asses blocked, and that wasn't my best side. I do hope something good will come out of this: a category system that is helpful to experienced editors and lay readers and does not appear to be skewed one way or another. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers Drmies. Yeah poor Qworty - I think she's literally gone off the deep end. I'm quite glad people came in and had here delete those raves, but the damage had already been done.
- I think moving to category intersects in the long run is the way to go. If that happened, you would take say Maya Angelou and tag her as "woman, african-american, poet, writer, actress, etc" - so individual attributes that aren't qualified (e.g. no more "african-american woman poets"). Then, you'd be able to search on any given combination - e.g. show me all the women poets from Virginia, or show me all the gay cuban drummers, or show me all of the russian-armenian physicists of lebanese extraction, etc - the sky is the limit. Then there'd be no more ghettoization at all, as everyone would just be defined by their essential characteristics, and we wouldn't have to argue as to whether X + Y + Z was a valid way to slice and dice people - just let people decide for themselves. See the WP:Category intersection talk page for an interesting discussion and interesting linkage with wikidata. To your point on gender(s), if we went this way, we'd need help to figure out, besides male/female, what other cats for gender should exist? it seems there are umpteen possibilities... Before you get too excited though, just note ppl have been talking about category intersection for 6 years. My only hope is this media storm will help those guys prioritize developer time to fixing this.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not really looking for infinite gender options--three would be fine for starters, or four, as the German wiki seems to have. As you can tell, I've not been keeping abreast of those discussions; I figured it was for the geeks and not really that relevant to content. Was I wrong or what. I'm going to have a look at that discussion, thanks. I hope your girl was off to a better start than mine this morning: she was grumpy and mean to her sister, and that made me grumpy as well. BTW, you can see her in here, though you may need your reading glasses. Drmies (talk) 16:30, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Second oppinionSecond oppinion would be needed in this article Komondor. They say in the article that the dog in the first picture in the Komondor article is a Best in Show winner of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2007. But when checkinhg on the List of Best in Show winners of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, the dog is not there. How is this possible? I think that this statement is not true. I would need some second oppinion on this. I had some disagreements about this picture which is not a very god one (partly that is why I got tired of W, somebody was probably socking around arguing about this dog winning the show, and so on). But now there is an article about Best in Show winners and no mention in it about any komondor beeing Best in Show, ever, much less in 2007, when a springer spaniel is mentioned, or am I missunderstanding something. Hafspajen (talk) 16:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Just a couple of points - but first, I apologise if I have upset Malleus Fatuorum, that was certainly not my intention. I was confused when I went to leave a message on Hafspajen's talk page as there is a note I had left on an IPs page way back in January (if I spot any one trying to help improve dog breed articles I always try to encourage them). And yes, many of the dog breed articles are in a poor state - either 'How to' or 'Point of View' 'Isn't my dog awesome' and 'here are some lovely pics of my pet dog at every age possible'. Look through the temperament sections and they are almost always 'good with children', 'wonderful temperament' etc etc. Links/refs are to breeder sites (naturally biased) even facebook, forums are frequently put in. But I am digressing! At shows, specimens of each breed scheduled at the show compete to find the 'Best of Breed'. The BOB then goes forward to compete at group level (usually four dogs are placed and it is the group records Hafspajen is linking to above). A judge then selects the best in show and reserve BIS winner from the group winners. The list of BOB winners at Westminster 2013 is given here, so there would have been a Komondor BOB winner declared each year since the breed was fully recognised - I'm not sure when the AKC first recognised the breed but the AKC site does have some general detail here. Sorry to have intruded and put a wall of text on this page but if I can help in any way, Hafspajen, just let me know. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:15, 1 May 2013 (UTC) ]
OK, we do that. But still it is a bad specimen, probably because in the numerically small breeds might not be many competitors. Hafspajen (talk) 09:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC) DYK for Mary Cooper (publisher)
Did you know that Dr Mies is number 113 on the list? Warrington (talk) 09:52, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
PraetorianFuryYour warning is going nowhere, perhaps you could reiterate it to him?

Userfy requestWould it also be possible to have Talk:Apex fallacy userfied as well? Also I am wondering if it would be appropriate to try and incubate these? Ranze (talk) 20:53, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
See this discussion on my talk page. You're the person I go to for an opinion about bands (in this instance a band's album). Even if the album article does have noteworthy material that the band article doesn't have, that could be merged into the band article. The issue is whether the album article is sufficiently notable to stand alone. A fuzzy (sorry) line, to be sure.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2013 (UTC) Newcastle WildcatsWell thank you for that. Next time you want to say welcome just say 'hello' and then maybe make some suggestions rather than wade in with an axe. A little harsh to just wipe out half a page without perhaps posting something first and giving us a chance to try and sort it out. I'll have to go through a bit of an undo process now and the club's committee can have a think about your comments. IanMelb (talk) 16:15, 4 May 2013 (UTC)IanMelb

Sorry about the vandalism I did 2 years ago.Yeah,I still remember the time when I vandalized the cydia page. I was 12 at the time,now I realize that mass vandal can be stressful as I am a rollback on another wiki (Clash Of Clans wikia) I just wanted to apologize and I'm very thankful that you only gave me a warning.

BullyingIs there a warning template specifically for cases of cyber-bullying? I use the vand4im, but it's a bit generic and I would love something else. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 01:01, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Technicians, please helpFolks, can you settle something for me? I'd finally like to get mass rollback working... Drmies (talk) 03:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
In User:Drmies/vector.js, add a line that says either:
or
Then reload the page (instructions at User:Drmies/vector.js) and you should be good to go. When you look at an editor's contribution page, there will be an extra tab, either "rollback all" or "MRollback" (depending on which script you choose). As I said, I haven't tried it yet, but one of these days... — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:51, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Usually i do put a second/third level warning if i see a history but this being a school is shared with many users so i was not sure if to start with a higher warning helps... Thanks though for letting me know. A.amitkumar (talk) 14:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC) Identifying proxiesAny idea how proxy servers are identified? There has been a spate of POV-y anon edits at Nair Service Society (plus one from a newly-registered account) and the IPs geolocate as far apart as India, the US and Ireland. The edits are more or less the same and they remove sourced content as well as adding the POV, so I'm pretty sure it is either meatpuppetry or a proxy. The former is hard to prove but the latter may be easy ... if I could only work out how it is done. - Sitush (talk) 15:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Your turnI've troubled Bbb enough lately, and haven't dropped you a line in a while, so: when you have a moment tell me if you think I was overzealous in my latest reversion at Elisa Gaudet, and if either of the sources are reliable. Regardless, I think it's promotional, and wonder if the IP is related to the previously blocked socks. And hello...hope you're well. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 03:41, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Of course, it could be that I've been senselessly ignoring a basic guideline [8]. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 03:47, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
