Welcome

Hi, Hallucegenia, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. You have already made some valuable and well-thought-out contributions. I'm afraid that, like many Wikipedians, I suffer from a 'satiable curtiosity. Would you care to give us a clue to your previous identity? And were you an "Ireland Collaborationist" in your previous life? Regards. Scolaire (talk) 12:15, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to answer questions from an Elephant Child. I have only edited Wikipedia under a couple of IP addresses, 82.30.246.119 (talk · contribs) and 82.30.246.35 (talk · contribs), so I don't really have a previous identity on Wikipedia.

I've been watching the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration board for a while, but I arrived there by accident really. At the time, I was interested in the Israel/Palestinian question, and I was looking around to see how other editors approach an area where contributors' history and background affect their interpretation of what others are saying.

If we can get a positive outcome out of these discussions, then I think the whole Project talk page should be preserved as a case study in how to resolve conflicts in cases like this.

Hallucegenia (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If we can get a positive outcome out of these discussions, it should be sent to Barack Obama as a case study in how to resolve conflicts ;-) Scolaire (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite encouraged by the way things are going at the moment, but then again it's just a subsidiary poll, so it doesn't really matter to people. I suppose when the main poll starts, and people feel their sense of self and of national affiliation are under threat, it could get very heated again. We shall see. Hallucegenia (talk) 07:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm very hopeful as well, especially compared with how I felt in January when I just unwatched all the affected pages. By that time I felt as though it had consumed all my spare time, and all my emotional reserves, for the previous eight months. I'm so looking forward to the two year freeze that will follow the result, whatever that may be. Scolaire (talk) 22:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hallucegenia, I, and quite a few other users agree with you. Attempts over the last three months to discuss it and reach some form of agreement have come to a standstill. Here is a link to some suggestions I am preparing for some form of arbitration. if and when I submit it, I will of course abide by any decision made by univolved arbitrators. At the moment, any reverts to what many readers feel to be the most correct, or nearest pronunciation, will just become an edit war. User:Kudpung/The IPA saga. please don't edit that page, but do leave any comments on the talk pages of affected articles, or in the discussions.--Kudpung (talk) 03:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... Thanks for the background. But perhaps there is a way to find a way that meets everyone's requirements. I'll think about it, and discuss on the article talk page before doing anything.Hallucegenia (talk) 13:12, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for you work on the stub. I sort of missed the article from my log some how. But I am unable to find any additional reference for this person. Its some time problamatic to search for people who can have multiple spellings for their name and I think this is the case for him.

NPG

I noticed your comment here [1] and agree with it. But you didn't do any actual edits to the article. Were you fearful of the Wikipedia establishment taking revenge? Meowy 02:15, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't look at it in those terms, but I felt I had to be very careful in what I said even on the talk pages, and without more explicit support I was not prepared to edit the main article.

An unbiased article would put the NPG claim more clearly: from the NPG point of view someone hacked their computers, illegally bypassed their copy-protection software, and stole their copyrighted material. The thief then compounded the felony by exporting it to the copyright equivalent of an offshore tax haven and published it to the world, thus undermining an investement of a million pounds of public money.

Wikipedia supported this theft by blocking a NPG user who had used the only means available to them to send a private e-mail to the individual in question; revoked that indivdual's admin rights to make it impossible for him to obey any court order to delete the offending images; and then allowed a blatantly POV article about the dispute to persist on Wikipedia for the past three years - contravening its own declared policy.

But if I put that interpretaion into into the article I would fully expect to get warned, and if I persisted I would get blocked. Sorry. It's not worth it. Hallucegenia (talk) 09:38, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The bigger whitewash I think is the minimising in the article of NPG's reasoning that if this sort of theft is allowed, in the future no gallery or museum or private collector will invest their time and money in producing digital images of their collections because Wikipedia will just steal them. Meowy 19:45, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"revoked that individual's admin rights to make it impossible for him to obey any court order to delete the offending images" - sorry, what do you mean, you mean Derrick Coetzee's admin rights were revoked? He is still an administrator, as far as I can see. Meowy 19:51, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Admin rights were revoked here [2]. I don't know when they were restored. Hallucegenia (talk) 20:05, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Don't know if there isa way of finding when they were restored, but they must have been restored by July 2010 [3] Meowy 21:31, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI on configuring "readable prose" for DYK

Your Stapleford Cross DYK nom is 1893 characters (0 words) "readable prose size", so it's OK. DYK doesn't count images, lists or quotes in the readable prose size. I thought it might help you in the future to download the DYK check tool that calculates that. It's pretty cool. First of all, you need to set up your skin's javascript page. That's an extension of your user page, like a sandbox. It won't let me do it, because it's part of your user page. So, let's try this.

Click on User:Hallucegenia/common.js That will open an edit window, so you can add script to this and save it. "Common" just means this one will work with whatever skin you are using.

In the blank edit window, copy and paste this:

importScript('User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js'); //DYKcheck tool

Save the page

You might have to do a refresh (or not), but look to the left-hand side of your browser, and you should see "Tools". In that section you should see "DYK check". You can click that to check the size of any article.

Let me know if you have any problems with this. And good luck. — Maile (talk) 23:58, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blind reverts

Please don't make blind reverts to articles. As you can see here, you revert also reinserted a spelling mistake into the article.

Robert Salisbury

Hi Hallucegenia, I have reverted this to redirect per NPP reviewed. You wrote a article about a different person over a good redirect. scope_creep^Talk

Sure, I see that you did. What/where is this "NPP reviewed"? Could you provide a link? Your message is meaningless without any further information, so I have restored the new page. I provided a hatnote in the new article to preserve the redirection and checked with "What Links Here" that there were no pages in wikipedia that linked to the redirect. So what's the problem? If you would prefer to have a disambiguation page called "Robert Salisbury", then please say so. Or if you want to move it to, say, Robert Salisbury, Educationalist then please say so. Regards Hallucegenia (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
