User talk:Pablo X

arb case
Hi Pablo - I appear to have misremembered who actually got banned from participating in the case; Giano hasn't been (and Giano, if you happen across this edit, I apologize for the error.) However, Courcelles banned Viriditas from participating without specifying a particular policy violation for mocking my health and genetic mutations across a number of pages. Such a ban could have been placed under WP:NDP, WP:NPA, or WP:HARASS. All three policies specifically cover attacks or harrassment related to disability; if I was writing a motion related to the case, I would likely stress NDP and HARASS over NPA, because NDP is a WMF board level policy (which covers harrassment due to disability and as a board level policy must be enforced by local projects and cannot be weakened by them) and HARASS, since it covers more general patterns rather than specific attacks (which is what Viriditas was banned from the case for.) I'm only posting here since I'm preparing to post evidence, which means I won't be able to use my section to respond to questions. Kevin Gorman (talk) 02:07, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the ping Pablo. The edit thank thing does not seem not be working this evening, so I'll say 'thank you'. Giano    (talk) 19:27, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, Giano - it seemed the right thing to do. Luckily the simple and easy method of writing on another editor's talk page seems to function correctly. pablo 20:01, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

RfC announce: Religion in infoboxes
There is an RfC at Template talk:Infobox 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) 22:08, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Blimey. This again. Will do. pablo 23:35, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

It seems I was wrong
Per this 2006 email from Erik Moeller and a thread at WO that I haven't been following, Jimmy's position on the board has to be re-affirmed every three years by the board. I'll vote for any community-nominated board candidate who vows to kick that huckster off. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 10:53, 27 January 2016 (UTC) I'll be voting for Kevin, if he maintains current form. pablo 11:06, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * They go through the motions every three years, but effectively your original take of seat-for-life was spot on.
 * I'll start a meta RfC on the usefulness of Jimbo in two and a half years. Kevin and Fae are both doing well in this instance. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 12:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yup. A pleasant surprise. pablo 20:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:42, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Gerda! And thanks for the reminder. pablo  09:29, 24 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I am happily busy singing, here on Saturday, music by Reger with "his" choir, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:56, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I like Bruges. It's like a fairy tale! pablo  07:46, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. As you may have seen in the choir article, we took a break singing there, the more excited I am! (more top of my talk) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:03, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Five years now, so it must be 13 years of service now ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:45, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Six years. How are you? Today's music is connected to a memorable concert, in memory of a memorable man. Ever since I meant to fill the red link. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:42, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

seven remembered ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:37, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on
This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Village pump (policy)

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:


 * 15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:


 * 31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:11, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks
...for the thanks. There should be a button for thanking thanks. Or maybe not... -- Begoon 10:17, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Jeez, no! That way madness lies! pablo 11:34, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -- Begoon 11:54, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I found a way (with help from Black Falcon) to make red categories that are tolerated by [insert name for people who care about users expressing feelings in red cats]. Miss him. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:07, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Absolutely
Hi.. you appear to have made a mistake. 'Twee' is the Scots word for too much Scottishness. Much like Americans use the word 'kitsch'. I know because I'm Scottish. It's not guess work. as proof, here's a link: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/twee

Dava4444 (talk) 07:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Neither that link (or the entry in the longer Oxford dictionary http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/207965?rskey=IKXAtF&result=3#eid ) make any mention of Scots or "Scottishness." pablo  09:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

So how is 'kitsch' any better being an American word?

Dava4444 (talk) 22:36, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

p.s. "Kitsch" is a German word and has been part of the English language since at least 1926. pablo 13:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't make any comment on the word being better. Just stated a fact - it is not Scots. Which it isn't.

Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht

Happy 2019

begin it with music and memories

Not too late, I hope ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Gerda you are a love, but I have lost a lot of faith in this project. xx pablo  19:07, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * it's not anything to believe in, - I rather believe in music, - see my talk for the most recent memorable kind --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:06, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Rachel McKinnon. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. ''It is not acceptable to misgender people in talk page comments. It is very highly offensive. If you were not a well established user I would have given you a final warning for it. Please stop. This is not a legitimate thing to try to raise.'' DanielRigal (talk) 19:16, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You are not going to give me a final warning for anything. I did not "misgender" McKinnon. I can, however, correctly identify McKinnon's sex; which is male and has been from conception. Now go bother someone who might be impressed.  pablo  20:11, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll tolerate that on your own user talk page but if you try that line pretty much anywhere else then you can look forward to warnings or a trip to one of the administrators' noticeboards. Please understand that there is nothing positive in this for you. It just makes you look petty and vindictive. Please go back to behaving constructively on other articles and just steer clear of any topics where your personal views prevent you from contributing constructively. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:31, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I’m about as interested in what you will “tolerate” (o the arrogance!) as I am in McKinnon’s subjective and self-constructed sense of “gender”. pablo  06:32, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Liane Moriarty
There was an announcement on this page that her novel would be adapted into a television series, with a source. A few times, someone changed the text to past tense: according to the new text, the series premiered this year. I reverted those edits, waiting for someone to add it again, with a source. You did just that a few days ago, so thank you. In your edit summary (which was right after mine), you simply write "eejit". I'm not sure if this is directed at me, but it really seems to be, and I just want to let you know I do not appreciate that. Laurier (talk) 15:48, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Always precious
Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:59, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
