Hi StrayBolt. As you can see, I've accepted your AfC submission. Thanks so much for creating this article. In future you do not need to go through the AfC process as you are an auto-confirmed editor. In fact, I recommend that you avoid it when writing on classical music subjects as the AfC reviewers are often unfamiliar with the notability criteria and the literature in this area. And last but not least, a very warm welcome to WikiProject Opera! Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 16:21, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:56, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Peppermint Park
Why would a park that's been defunct since 1988 be "probably by popularity too" over a park that currently gets thousands of visitors per year, and has done so for over 175 years? Pdfpdf (talk) 09:27, 6 May 2018 (UTC)


 * The first reason I said was favoring articles over sections. I was basing popularity on |Peppermint_Park,_Texas|Adelaide_Park_Lands|Peppermint_Park_(TV_series)|Himeji_Gardens Wikipedia page views (only the 2 when first sorting) and PP was only Park #18 of 29 (the history for the amusement park didn't get moved, so use PP). Since you asked, I also looked at this chart on redirects which only has 9(+8?) for the past month. Things change over time so maybe it would be rearranged later. Another "popularity" is typing in PP in the search window and see the suggested results. I don't know if that is user-tailored. Also, I don't think PP should have been moved to "PP, Texas"; that implies it is a city. Probably "PP (amusement park)" or maybe "PP (Texas)" or something else would be better. That might be true for your Park #18 too (somewhere there are guidelines for that). When you moved it, you also "broke" (or ambiguated) a few links, so it would have been nice to fix those. Let's figure out the right name before we fix those. StrayBolt (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. To clarify, independent of popularity, I have no problem with you putting the page higher on the list than the redirect.
 * Regarding popularity, I wrongly assumed you were referring to the popularity of the place, not web-page views. (Silly me.) Also, I thought I had fixed the links. It seems I didn't. My apologies. I'll now wait until you sort out page names before I do so.
 * FYI, I really wasn't sure what to rename the park in Texas to; my main aim was to free the main name for use as a disambiguation page - I'm happy for you to rename PP in Texas to whatever you think is best, and I am happy to support such a move. (Please tell me when you have done so.)
 * The problem on en.wikipedia with the Adelaide Park Lands is that it consists of many parks and gardens (many more than 29), some of which have their own pages, (e.g. Himeji Gardens which is part of Park 18, and Veale Gardens which is part of Veale Park), and many of which don't, (but with time this should change). The problem on en.wikipedia with the 29 "major sub-parks" (my terminology) of the Adelaide Park Lands is that the City of Adelaide has now given each of them three names - see here. On en.wikipedia this will lead to (at most) 29 pages, and (at least) 58 redirects. The challenge is what to name the pages and redirects, particularly when there is a need to disambiguate. I suspect that Peppermint Park, Adelaide Park Lands is probably always going to be a redirect, and although the target of the redirect may possibly change with time, it will always refer to the same piece of land in the Adelaide Park Lands. Also, "Adelaide" covers over 1,200 square miles; it's possible that there is or may be a Peppermint Park somewhere else in the Adelaide metropolitan area that I don't know about.
 * Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 03:40, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
Hi there. Thanks for your recent addiction to List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events regarding the Nemesis. I'm having a hard time trying to understand from the text you've added exacted how Nemesis is allegedly going to render life on Earth extinct. Can you clarify somehow?

This article is currently nominated to be a featured list (see here), so It's important right now that there isn't anything potentially confusing on it. Incidentally if you'd be willing to comment on the nomination regarding any potential improvements or whether or not you support or oppose the nomination that would be appreciated. Thanks. Freikorp (talk) 10:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I added more details and a counter argument since it is not generally accepted. I was debating about putting it at all. It fit nicely in the time-scale between 1 and 100 million years so I added it. You can remove it if you feel it is too fringy. When I asked David Morrison (astrophysicist) about Nemesis (many years prior to 2011), he didn't directly discount it, but switched back to the general statistical risk, lack of detection, lack of prevention and significant consequence of earth being hit.

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

East St. Louis race riots
Hi, you reverted my edit, saying that the race riots "included lynchings". How are you defining "lynchings" in this event? It is not a synonym for hangings. It was my understanding that usually lynchings refer to a mob killing an individual or a few specific persons, often one or more who had been accused of a crime or perceived offense. Sometimes the mob took persons who were suspects from custody of jails or courts, and operated outside the law in extrajudicial murders, sometimes held on the courthouse square. Other times they did not wait for the suspect to be taken to court. The race riot, by contrast, is a larger outbreak of violence, in which attackers direct their violence at any member of an ethnic group they see or find. Both are forms of racial terrorism but there is a distinction in most of the studies on these topics.Parkwells (talk) 15:06, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I had reviewed WP lynching lead def: "an extrajudicial punishment by an informal group. It is most often used to characterize informal public executions by a mob, often by hanging, in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate a minority group." Most RS use "lynching" as well as reporting the mob using that verb. The shot-up Model T, inaccurate stories about the shooting, and the no-consequences unleashed the mob. Checking further, wiktionary lynching def: "Execution of a person by mob action without due process of law, especially by hanging." Some have preferred the term "mass lynching" instead of "race riot". Lynching in the United States mentions many race riots with lynchings. Can you give a source to say a race riot is mutually exclusive from lynching? StrayBolt (talk) 19:31, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Stochastic Terrorism
Hi,

I think the opening sentence for Stochastic Terrorism needs to reflect the fact that while the term Stochastic Terrorism started as an "obscure and non-legal" term from a well-meaning blogger who had not researched existing social science literature, it is very clear that the term has at least migrated into serious studies of terrorism and risk management. I think removing that description while keeping a reference to the Rolling Stone article would be a good change. Also, I think there should be at least a mention crediting the anonymous blogger for inventing the term. The blogger has posted some other statements explaining his idea.

Edward Banayoti
There has been an edit war going on at this article between two sets of socks. You have essentially reinstated the material of one of those sets. I don't think you're a sock, but I do think that the material is misplaced. It should be put in the body of the article, and a very brief summary in the lede. I'd rather not do it myself, as I have no interest in the article except from a policy standpoint. However, if you don't want to do it - and nothing commpels you to do so - I may undo your edit. That kind of detailed negative material simply does not belong in the lede of any article. Another option, if it's easier for you, is simply to create a new section for the material and not bother with a summary in the lede. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

your revert on QAnon re John Titor
Hi, I don't see how an article on CNET saying "QAnon is an internet hype, and John Titor was back in the 2000s" establishes John Titor as a notable see-also. Titor was not a conspiracy theory or a moral panic; QAnon is not predictions about the future from a time-traveller. Could you explain your reasoning?

Gaslighting article
Hi StrayBolt. I didn't want to revert your revert; thought it would be better to exchange thoughts. It appears to me that the "Chicks" naming of their album "Gaslighting" was as intended as a pejorative, a slur. I looked at the lyrics and the back story and the album is a vindictive rant aimed at her husband/ex-husband. If anything, the term is misused; one could argue that it validates misuse (i.e., slur) of the term.

There is nothing in the references (or the lyrics) that would help anyone to better understand the meaning of the term. I used this metric to decide which examples should stay and which should be pulled. If we listed every pejorative or nonspecific mention of "gaslighting", the popular culture list would be endless/useless.

Does this seem reasonable? Wiki-psyc (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I think the usage is for the song, not the album. Perhaps you missed the ref I added by Ramani Durvasula: A psychologist reacts to 'Gaslighter' by The Dixie Chicks. Perhaps you should add sourced material to show where the song falls short. The word could still be used as a pejorative, part of a rant, and still be valid.

 * StrayBolt. The question was what criteria should be for keeping/removing items fro the "Popular culture" example list. If you look at the article history, items a on and off and on again. My suggestion was "examples should help readers to better understand the meaning of the term/concept"


 * I used this song as am example. The lyrics of the song are:
 * Gaslighter, denier
 * Doin' anything to get your ass farther
 * Gaslighter, big timer
 * Repeating all of the mistakes of your father


 * She/they are talking about adultery (not gaslighting). And she doesn't suggest that her husband was trying to trick her and hide it, she comments on how brazen he was "You thought I wouldn't see it if you put it in my face". Neither the you tube video (not a reliable source) nor the other sources suggest that this song portrays gaslighting - just that it mentions gaslighting. If someone names their horse "gaslighting" and the horse wins the Kenticky Derby and gets a lot of media coverage, should that make it on the list too.


 * So the bigger question is what metric should editors use (see one example above in bold) in deciding what which references should goes on the list Popular culture examples of gaslighting?

Clarification: As of 11 April 2022 access to yann.lecun.com does indeed require login, for some people.
Greetings StrayBolt,

The other day I made several changes to the MNIST_database article to flag the fact that the web site yann.lecun.com requires a visitor to log in.

As I discussed (Bit rot necessitates some updating.) in the article's talk page; when I hit an URL on that site it asked me to login.

I followed several links to that site and saw the same behavior. So the remarks I added to the article reflected my overly broad assumption that every visitor is asked to log in. It did not occur to me that others might still have ready access.

You then reverted those changes, over broadly asserting that no log in is needed (for anyone). Thank you for checking.

As I was pondering restoring those flags/remarks, reworded to clarify that only some people are asked to log in, I was reminded that I am not satisfied with the locations in which I had put them.

Do you have any suggestions for a better place to add remarks that clarify that a particular link is no longer open (to everyone)?

Do you know of a "standard" wikipedia practice for handling such a situation?

And, finally, my original contribution regarding EMNIST was based on a misunderstanding. I have rewritten it accordingly. Please take a look.

 * Thanks for your contributions. You might want to get a Wikipedia account so you can get notifications easier. Some general responses/comments:
 * WP:BRD BOLD, revert, discuss cycle You made a change based on what you saw, I reverted on what I saw, waited to see any third party response. I still don't see any registration required.
 * Template:Registration required
 * Template:Subscription required


 * Think you might want to undo/revert your page ranges changes back to en dash:
 * MOS:PAGERANGE, MOS:DASH, Template:En dash

 * The lecun.com web site is the only place where I am away
 * of this some people need to login, some don't thing happening.
 * Frankly I am bit stumped as to where to even look for why
 * we are seeing different behavior.

 * Perhaps you should try from a different connection or browser or turn on some debugging info. Since no one else has responded, I am assuming it is something very specific to your setup. You might try here too: Reference desk/Computing StrayBolt (talk) 00:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 04:24, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
