Moved your question
Hey, Liphradicus, I just wanted to let you know that I moved your question to Wikipedia talk:Teahouse, rather than Teahouse/Questions; the talk page is usually a better place for asking "meta-questions" like that, though the questions page was not an unreasonable choice, either. Cheers! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 23:12, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Friendly warning about discussing creationism
I closed the thread at the teahouse because the conversation was heading off in a direction that I felt was inappropriate for that board. The "747" remark would be inappropriate anywhere in wikipedia (unless you're editing the article, of course). If you want to argue the merits of creationism, talk.origins would welcome you with open arms. Here, on the other hand, those kind of comments are seen as advocacy, and wikipedia is not a WP:FORUM for that kind of activity. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 21:50, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation
Sorry, it would appear I assumed you were slightly more experienced than you actually are. Firstly we don't move pages by copying and pasting but rather by using the page move function. The main reason for this is a legal one to do with the license we use and the fact that edits require attribution - see Copy-paste for more on this. Secondly we work on consensus at wikipedia and when a move, such as this one, is likely to be contentious we find a consensus first through the requested move process. These normally run for 7 days before an uninvolved editor determines consensus - in a contentious case such as this it would normally by left to either an experienced editor or an admin. If they determine that there is consensus for a move then the move will take place. A quick glance at the discussion shows me that the consensus is not clear and so this move will have to wait on a proper closure of the RM discussion. Although the consensus may appear clear to you as someone involved in that discussion you are unable, at least from a wikipedia point of view, to make that decision. As the normal 7 days are up someone may close the discussion at any time although if you want to try to speed up the process a neutrally worded request (i.e. "this requested move needs closing" and pretty much nothing else) at WP:AN/RFC may attract an admin or experienced editor to close quicker. Although an admin myself I don't think I would be the best person to close as I have been quite active in this general area in an admin capacity and, although such does not preclude me from closing, a close by someone else is more likely to be acceptable to all.

Disambiguation link notification for March 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Accession of Crimea to the Russian Federation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brookings (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

NPOV noticeboard
You might be interested in this discussion about your recent edits. Seryo93 (talk) 07:02, 5 April 2014 (UTC) UPD:Withdrew my noticeboard request. Seryo93 (talk) 19:17, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Would you be ok with.
Would you be ok with swapping the "accession" and "annexation" parts of the opening paragraph to make the title agree with the opening paragraph. Regardless of what you think of the matter the title and opening paragraph should agree with each other. Bluefist  talk 21:16, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Your signature
Hello, here's a request: could you please change your custom signature to something that contains a link to your user and/or user talk page, and that makes it clearer what your actual account name is? Your contributions are a bit difficult to track otherwise. Please see WP:SIGLINK for guidance. Thanks, – Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:38, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Is your computer not working properly? My username in all of my signatures can be clicked and links to my User page from there my Talk page is one click away...  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე  
 * Sorry if that seemed curt. I can't really change my signature to include my talk page and my user page at the same time, due to the length of the coding needed to make said signature. The username is "LiphradicusEpicus" and the four other characters happen to be my real name in Georgian if put together, ha ha! I like having the black, gold, and silver as well as they really stand out...and I like to be bold! Ha ha! Anyway, thank you very much for your help and support regarding the article so fiercely debated. Best, again sorry if I seemed rude at first (P.S.: the only solution I see to the signature would be manually adding talk-page coding to the end of each of my posts <_> )!  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე   09:13, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I would recommend adding a talk page link to your username as well. Many users arbitrarily make one portion of their username linked to their user page and another linked to their talk page; both links are important, and the coding shouldn't be too difficult to figure out, especially if you use the signature policy page provided by above. Other users would find it intuitive if you simply make the silver portion "Epicus" link to your talk page. Neelix (talk) 15:37, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Marijuana
Hi Matt,

I like the suggestion you made here to create a new article about marijuana that would serve as a subarticle of Cannabis (drug) in the same way that Hashish and Kief do. Do you intend to follow through on this suggestion and create the article?

Neelix (talk) 15:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I do plan to make it into an article, I've just been a bit busy, haha. Thanks for reminding me.  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე   20:12, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Warning
I've reverted you at Marijuana. Do not edit war during an RFC, I had reverted Neelix and he understood enough to start an RFC to develop consensus, which is how we settle disagreements via WP:BRD. Also, consider this a formal and final warning: Do not modify/refactor my comments at Talk:Marijuana or at any other place. That is flatly against policy and will get you blocked. You striking them makes it look as if I had withdrawn my complaint, which is clearly not the case. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  12:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Let me offer some advice
I didn't realize how new you were until I looked, and I might have biten your head off a bit more gentle earlier. You seem to have a misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works. It's ok, I completely understand, most new users make the same assumptions, but it is helpful if you learn a little so you don't get disappointed. WP:CONSENSUS is a good read. This explains how you can have a discussion and have 10 people vote "yes" and 3 people vote "no", and yet "no" gets consensus. It isn't a vote, Wikipedia isn't a WP:DEMOCRACY, the number of votes one way or another don't always mean how it ends up. Often it does, but not always. What matters most is the policy based rationales in the reasons. Counting the votes and such, not recommended at all. For starters, it looks argumentative, and second, it is meaningless. Whoever closes it (likely an admin) will use the guidance in policy and in the link I provided, weighed against the community consensus as a whole (ie: what policy says we should do and have done for years) and summarize it. It's a lot more complicated, but suffice it to say it is much more than just the votes at that one discussion that matter. If it seems confusing, I understand. It typically takes a year or two to get a full grasp of the basics. Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124; WER  00:42, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * To reiterate what I said in the discussion, I always knew it was Neelix that started the RFC. It was a bad RFC (for a few reasons), and him being an admin, I'm not inclined to pull my punches.  I never thought for an instant it was you.  Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  13:43, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Cannabis portal
Hey LiphradicusEpicus. I notice you joined the cannabis portal in April this year. This wiki was started at the beginning of 2014 and deals specifically with all things cannabis. I don't like the idea of fishing here but we could really use a few experienced editors who are familiar with wiki markup, which I'm sure you are. Please check it out and if you are keen sign up. Thanks and happy editing.  Rob van  vee  09:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of HoodyBaby


A tag has been placed on HoodyBaby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.youngmoneyhq.com/artists/hoodybaby/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. red dogsix (talk) 16:33, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

"Cannabis afghanica" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect &. Since you had some involvement with the "Cannabis afghanica" redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.  — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  22:08, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

March 2021
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Tim Pool; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 13:26, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Making personal attacks at WP:AN3
 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for Personal attacks. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. The full report is at the noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 15:50, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Prior appeals have been deleted due to administative users User:Jpgordon's blatant violation of both NPOV policies and WP:AN3
The aforementioned response has been archived here for viewing ease and evidence: "unblock reviewed|decline=Repeating personal attacks when you are blocked for personal attacks is not a winning strategy. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 19:27, 12 March 2021 (UTC)". Response violates NPOV—author clearly did not read my request at all, simply parrotting another user. Response violates WP:AN3—lying and saying that something is a personal attack whenever it is not and is instead simple objective fact is in-and-of-itself a personal attack by the administrative user to the reviewëe. Overall, administrative user directly insults my intelligence and integrity.

"Upgrading to indef, repeating the accusation of "narcissism" in the prior unblock request is indeed a personal attack. Jpgordon's decline was appropriate on that basis, and the accusation that they are now engaging in personal attacks against you appears to be unfounded. signed,Rosguill talk 20:10, 12 March 2021 (UTC)" Response is another personal attack. Do the administrators not understand that YOU ACCUSING ME OF PERSONALLY ATTACKING SOMEONE WHENEVER I CLEARLY STATE AND PROVE THAT I AM USING MY CHOICE OF WORDS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DICTIONARY-SENSES IS IN AND OF ITSELF YOU, THE ADMIN, ATTACKING ME, THE PERSON FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST ANOTHER USER VIOLATING THE VERY SAME POLICIES YOU CLAIM TO UPHOLD?!?!?

Unblock Appeal & Notice Taken of Abusive Administrator

 * Bruh, you are going to have your talkpage access revoked. Calm down, take a step back, have a cup of coffee, and think about what you're saying for a few minutes. I hold no ill will against you and I'd like to see you become a productive editor again. But this is just going to take you down a road of no return. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 20:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The sentiment is appreciated but I've been dealing with a few corrupt administrators for years-on-end now. Administrators who launch personal attacks in their responses, administrators who violate blocking policies, administrators who use punative measures for their own seeming amusement, and it's extremely infuriating and I generally seek to resolve these issues but whenever there are individuals who quite literally refuse to even read that situation, it is a corruption-issue. I make few yearly contributions to Wikipedia and this type of situation is one of the main reasons that I do not devote more time to editing here. My intent was not to insult you in the report I made but to adequately portray how I perceived your actions using the most accurate denotative (dictionary definition) descriptors available. Being attacked by an admin. (multiple times now) over supposed insults that simply are not that is an extreme problem. There's even a policy explicitly stating that administrators need to err on the side of caution, not use punative measures, and discuss anything of note that is in question with other administrators. It is evident that the 3 admins who have currently reviewed the situation are only seeking to exacerbate the problem. It is a real pain in the rear end to get administrators reviewed for their misconduct as well, which is why I try my best to not resort to it. This just happens to "take the cake" as the saying goes. Oh and just to further clarify (since apparently administrators choose to not read the 3 other times I have explained this), I have no personal ill feelings towards you.  მაLiphradicus    Epicusთე   20:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
