hey

i am digging your editing. but i edit a kind of strange mix of things .. are you kind of following me around? i am not threatened or freaked out or anything, am just curious to see you pop after me a few times. like i said, i like what you do. :) Jytdog (talk) 17:56, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

but then again you have an eclectic list anyway. who knows how you come across things. who knows how i do! so could be just random. Jytdog (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Jytdog: No, not at all. I recently found the med artic changes page tho. That we hv sim interests beyond med sci is seriously coincidental, but again a pattern may emerge b/c I look at new pages (using that list) or recently changed pages disproportionately. I tend to move rather slowly and to reference very heavily, and to macerate on an individual page or several concurrent pages for a while. FeatherPluma (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

gotcha. like i said, i am glad to see you when we overlap. Jytdog (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up Cleveland Clinic. I just talked a bit with Patient 32, a new Wikipedia contributor who is interested in learning more about sharing information in Wikipedia. I really appreciate that you responded to this person's attempts to share information and that you incorporated some of their suggestions in your revision of the article. Thanks for pulling so much uncited promotional content. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:12, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Blue Rasberry , Thank you. FeatherPluma (talk) 15:44, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, @Bluerasberry: Personally I would have preferred that both the USNWR and the other rankings both be omitted for the policy based reasons I've given on the Talk page, but the content is perhaps more reflective of a mid-road view now. I suggest that if we have to have these data, their limitations and informational contextualization needs to be touched on briefly. Using the material you had organized (thanks) I've made the explained edits, and I will let others take it up from here forward. FeatherPluma (talk) 10:24, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree that ratings need context and there is no context for the ratings currently on the page. I worry about giving context because it seems WP:UNDUE. I am still thinking about this. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 10:49, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bluerasberry, the page seems to be stable for a while now, and I am getting ready to archive this thread. I wonder if your colleague is satisfied enough with the present article wording? There were some aspects to trying to think through how to deal with this that were interesting. Let me know if you think there's something I might enjoy looking at again, now or at some point. Otherwise, I won't push back in to this article. Thanks. FeatherPluma (talk) 16:42, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi FeatherPluma.
It was about 2.5 years ago you made some biggish edits to Chagai-I. Perhaps you might be interested in some of the latest edits there? 220 of ^Borg 14:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, 220 Looked quickly and edited a bit; may look again if more time. P.S. Plagiarized from your use of WP color logo to enhance this page's previously bland logo. It was futile to resist the urge to upgrade. FeatherPluma (talk) FeatherPluma (talk) 15:04, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi back, I didn't get a 'ping' that you mentioned me here! I usually use {{

}}. Yes "Resistance is Futile!", but I stole that 'logo' from someone myself.

I saw that you edited there. But, there is more 'fun' going on there again. I queried about normal quote rules etc at the Teahouse and then brought up the issue of the same editor altering sourced quotations

You're welcome. I think the editor has stopped their shenanigans, for now. This sort of editing really annoys me, especially when they can't be bothered to explain. Came across an editor once, ≈87,000 edits never/rarely communicated, like this person. IIRC turned out to be making un-sourced BLPvio edits everywhere, and slso socking, got banned.. 220 of ^Borg 20:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC) Zombie433 (talk · contribs)

Then again who do these edits remind you of? 220 of ^Borg 10:29, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: I agree - thoroughly disheartening. However, on reading all the changes carefully I can't quite work out if this is very clever stupidity and rather stupid cleverness - if purposeful, leaving this unclear may be part of their ploy (I really need to stop reading MI6 stuff). Anyway, it has pulled me in and I have started sniffing at the referencing more closely, which turns out on first approach to be unsatisfactory. The article has never had adequate grammar or readability and there are several sentences that are of imprecise haziness. I am not in the mood for a big overhaul of this article right now, but I will get back to it. More to follow, I would suspect. FeatherPluma (talk) 01:13, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Good morning! (though a rather late one for me). Just booted up my PC and saw that you were editing per my above message. Sorry for 'dragging' you into this. This editor can obviously speak English, but I wish they would communicate rather than the very occasional edit summary. I'm pretty sure they are editing while logged out and using very misleading edit summaries from IPs that almost all geolocate to one area. If it keeps up an SPI or AN/I report may be necessary.

• I'm seriously wondering if they might be a blocked/banned user or just an unknown sleeper sock of one? (see edits by Ironboy11 (talk · contribs)  Looks like a duck to me)

Oy! I added [4] that {{caption}} template you removed here! >;-/ (mock anger). Doesn't matter! - 220 of ^Borg 05:50, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: Since the template was partially dysfunctional then (some type of technical glitch) I redacted its usage, although this can be on a temporary basis.

Following on your general notice on the article Talk page, and taking account of the situational profile of serial edits, I added a specific request on an editor's Talk page, pointing to a request for a proper explanation on the article Talk page, as well as articulating a plan of action. I realise that there are additional text problems, but I think it may be best to approach these in sequence, giving the editor ample room to explain themself. FeatherPluma (talk) 22:29, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks mate, I had a look at your message, too polite I think! However, I am becoming more suspicious as time goes on. The editing behaviour I am seeing is very similar to an editor that I had never come across, until I saw their name in the edit histories of multiple Pakistan nuclear related pages, an editor who is now banned. Possibly not related, but see this on page 27 at "Uranium infrastructure", and compare it with Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction#Uranium infrastructure. Almost exactly the same (esp. here before I edited it), not 100% sure when/who added it, but will look further. Now I have to get some more sleep (UzT), so gone for a 3-4 hours at least. Have 'fun'! - 220 of ^Borg 23:17, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

OMG! It speaks! PeerBaba has actually replied to you at Chagai-I's talkpage.[5] I have already commented.[6] They haven't addressed the issue of their "eccentric" caption. 220 of ^Borg 21:16, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: Thank you for the heads up. The actual source for the editor's turn of phrase may be a conscious or subconscious harkening to "When Mountains Move – The Story of Chagai" [7]. That said, at this point I have become somewhat skeptical of the image's claimed provenance on its upload summary page as a Government of Pakistan Press Release. A google search of actual Government of Pakistan web pages was unforthcoming (although perhaps the search tool may not function perfectly), and my other attempts to confirm verifiability have been unsuccessful. Please see the article's Talk page. Sometimes where there is smoke there is fire. FeatherPluma (talk) 20:34, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Specifically to that image, did you note who uploaded it? Fill in the blanks here: Iro_b_y11 and win a set of steak knives engraved with the Wikipedia logo! 220 of ^Borg 18:46, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: I notice that you have been devoting extra time to trying to clean up this disaster of an article, and I wanted to express appreciation for that intense effort. If non-constructive reversion of these efforts continues, whether competency-based or otherwise, I am in favor of sanctions. The editor's reply does not address the problem properly, but I do see a tiny ray of rational connexion within it. I provided a very detailed response to the editor's reply concerning the image caption, but obviously the work product now needs to get to the article page, and not pander further to any strange unencyclopedic notions. Accordingly, I tagged the article as being under (re)construction. I would think that we could get it cleaned up fairly quickly if non-constructive reversion discontinues. Again, expressing thanks and appreciation. FeatherPluma (talk) 01:57, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

I'm starting to feel like it's a big waste of time, I (and you) have better things to do both in real life and on WP than try to 'help' or educate someone who is likely a sockpuppet who will be blocked, then come back with another sock or IP to revert to their preferred version of Chagi-I or related pages. I've been through this before with editors blatantly lying "No I'm not so and so who was banned no." "No I'm not that editor who was banned for recreating their Autobiography six++ times, But he is a very famous person in his village and deserves a wiki page. That is why I created his page" (3 times using different accounts and multiple IPs). This seems to be more common with Indian subcontinent editors than another, but that is just my perception. (See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Princeneil/Archive for the one I was thinking of, or see Ali Raza Jaffari and its' draft Draft:Ali Raza Khan Jaffari for a recent potential example.)

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I was a bit more

off-line yesterday and today than normal. (likely tomorrow too, at least in the morning (pre- 05:00 UTC) when I am limited to my tablet.) We should get a few more 'expert' editors involved, but I think the Pakistan Wikpedians Noticeboard is pretty dead. I think Sitush

on the Indian side may have been involved on some related pages, if not this exact page.

Re a possible (becoming likely) SPI, you may also be interested in my and Berean Hunters' 'investigation' on his talk-page, latest diff. here. He listed 4 IPs that are likely related and I found another 8. All making similar edits or reverts, and all geolocating to Nevada, especially Los Vegas.

I know nothing about the Chagai tests, sorry. If I have edited any related article then it would probably have been gnoming. I don;t think the WPIPA sanctions include a 1RR restriction, although of course such a restriction could be imposed on any contributor under the umbrella of those sanctions. - Sitush (talk) 19:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Sitush, it may have been a BLP of a scientist, or test location, I can't recall. Anyway, I have dropped the appropriate template on PeerBabas talk-page. 220 of ^Borg 20:07, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Related pages

I was going to put this on Chagai-I talk after your last comment there but thought it better here. There is a 'new' editor at Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction. I think they may be related to PeerBaba in 'some' way. And, I see that you have 'seen' them at Project-706.
Btw {{reply|220 of Borg}} and {{u|220 of Borg}} should work as 'pings'. Somewhat shorter than what you have used. 220 of ^Borg 18:32, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, 220 of Borg: I took Chagai-I from 51967 to 32219 bytes; I have consolidated 75 references to less than 40. It would be nice to edit it further, but I am a little tired of the topic for now. I will make a few more clean up edits to Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction and to Project-706, and then move on from Pakistan for a while. I have some perceptions about the significant time it takes to undo thick layers of overlinked and verbally repetitive text. I hope the "new" editors will not regurgitate things in quite the same tendentious style. FeatherPluma (talk) 20:40, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I know how you feel! Keeping rampant 'nationalistic' editing in check is very tiring, and I am several hours overdue for sleep as well. Did you notice 60s singer Cilla Black has died? 220 of ^Borg 20:56, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Small word of advice

Or rather a tiny request. Could you in the future please make edits in one go, rather than saving every edit separately each time? If you're covering multiple sections, consider using the edit button above the page title. The following template is more directed towards new users (which you are definitely not), but it contains some useful arguments against micro-editing.

 Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. 

Please don't be offended; it's just somewhat inconvenient to work with huge lists of edits in the page history. Thanks! - HyperGaruda (talk) 14:03, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi HyperGaruda I am not offended at all with your nice request. Why on earth would you imagine I might be? Granular editing is generally thought to be considerably easier to comprehend as the thought chain emerges quickly by rapidly comparing the diffs to the summaries on the history tree page.

Disambiguation link notification for January 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lascaux, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Montignac. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There is an RfC at Template talk:Infobox#RfC: Religion in infoboxes concerning what should be allowed in the religion entry in infoboxes. Please join the discussion and help us to arrive at a consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the neutral invite. I read the page with interest. I agree with much of what is being said ("on all sides" !). I do not have a specific new viewpoint to bring to bear, although I will follow the comments again in a day or two. FeatherPluma (talk) 05:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC):Done. Looked again. Nothing to add. FeatherPluma (talk) 06:15, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

A Dobos torte for you!

7&6=thirteen (☎) has given you a Dobos torte to enjoy! Seven layers of fun because you deserve it. To give a Dobos torte and spread the WikiLove, just place {{subst:Dobos Torte}} on someone else's talkpage, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

We will not always agree, but we do not need to be disagreeable. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. This is a very kind gesture indeed which is acknowledged and deeply appreciated. (I hope my turn of phrase has not been abrasive. There are some things I am good at, but there are also situations where I have occasionally been told by others that I come across as being earnest.) On your closing comment, a friendly consensus !!!

Talk:Joint Declaration of Pope Francis and Patriarch Kirill / February 2016

Spirit Ethanol I am well aware of the policy and I carefully thought about it before deploying the corrective action. The problem is you used a mainspace template, which, for your future reference, is deployed on the article page. Your conceptual contribution was fine, and I left that completely intact, but you used a format that forced the Talk page to FOREVER show the message you added unless somebody (me) detemplated your addition. I made as minimal a change to your input as was feasible to remedy the situation. If this brief answer leaves you confused or still irritated, I will be very happy to help you get a better grip on the issue. Happy editing. FeatherPluma (talk

Thanks for your clarification, will avoid using templates on talk pages in the future. Template used was with few=true (i.e. few links). Re-introduced a non-template version that expresses point. Have a nice day.

Spirit Ethanol No problem. Further checking has now pinpointed an underlying systems issue here. Unfortunately, although you did indeed add the "few" modifier to the template coding, as is explicitly suggested on the relevant page, the orphan template does not actually currently respond to that parameter. I discovered this by checking your code, and then going on to test the template myself in a sandbox preview. So despite your "few", the template rendered a "no links" message. You can check that in the page history view. My initial response was to the template rendering as seen on the Talk page; I did see your section header "few" but the penny didn't clunk. I will now edit my comment to conform to the message you intended and which you have now reformatted. I am glad you reached out to question the situation. FeatherPluma (talk

Zacapa 20160218

Hi. Can you move

Hi,

WP:NCCS also speaks to a preference inter alia for conformity but makes perfectly clear that the issue is a case basis decision. Fifth, and most convincingly, the short-term primary issue at hand for this article since the edit by PaizSosa edit at 2015-10-28T15:29:45 (or before, depending on how the content is weighed) has been the mix up of municipality/city and Department. Ultimately, moving back to Zacapa may be reasonable, as the long-term issue at hand would then be the plurality of style for Guatemalan, or possibly Central American, places in this situation. It also avoids the issue of municipality versus city that potentially otherwise arises. However, I am not going to do this for at least several weeks so that the distinction between municipality and Department can properly take seed. I will make a note to come back and reconsider making that change in a few weeks. FeatherPluma (talk

Zacapa (municipality) to Zacapa, after a seed period. This definitively answers your interesting question and so I am closing out this discussion unless you have new points to make. FeatherPluma (talk
