Your edit to Talk:Pyriproxyfen
I recently saw that you made this edit to the page Talk:Pyriproxyfen. I reverted it because it was not in keeping with our policies regarding the proper use of Wikipedia. Specifically, the article talk pages are reserved for discussions about the article, and are not for general discussion of issues related to the subject of the article.

However, I see that you undid my revert with the edit summary "Self-censorship to abide by WP rules". Based on your edit summary, I assume you meant to revert your own edit, however what you did was to restore the inappropriate content to the page. I am leaving you this note to let you know that you should correct this. I will leave you time to do so. If you do not, I or another editor will be along to remove it for you. MjolnirPants  Tell me all about it.  01:45, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me correct this, MjolnirPants. By my revised edit I meant what it says: let us wikify it by linking this article to similar instances of water additives. Is it OK now? Zezen (talk) 05:15, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Allow me to apologize. I saw the notification that my undo was reverted, and I saw some of the same content from your original post, and assumed you had simply hit undo, typed an edit summary and went on. I see now that you did remove the parts that were inappropriate, and as such, my message here was unnecessary. I'll respond on the talk page to your content suggestion. MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  17:30, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

przać
Hi. The problem with the Malagasy entry is that the language code szl is not defined. I created an szl template, but I do not know Malagasy very well, and I am not sure how to say Silesian language in Malagasy. Besides the missing szl template, there are other places (templates?, categories?) in the Malagasy wiktionary where the language code szl is still not defined, but I do not know where they are. Therefore I have changed some of the language codes in przać from szl to pl (Polish). In case you can find the other locations that need Silesian defined, my guess at how to write Silesian language in Malagasy, is Silesiana, or fiteny silesiana. —Stephen (talk) 19:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for investigating, User:Stephen G. Brown. I do not speak a word in Malgasy. I know little about the inner workings of Wiktionary. I can only alert the admins (you) about this faulty bot, which I disovered by chance. Zezen (talk) 19:14, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

IP Autoblock

 * It looks like you are being hit by accident by an autoblock. given that this user has been around for about 6 years I am assuming this is collateral damage. Do you think that the block could be made anon only, or do you think this is better resolved with WP:IPBE? HighInBC 05:38, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay Zezen it looks like you are good to go. Sorry about this, it happens sometimes by accident. Ping me if there are any problems. HighInBC 16:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your reaction, HighInBC and Favonian. BTW, maybe the JavaScript toggle in my setup (a FF addon) was at play. I went to a sample WP:PNA article, to edit Economy_of_Morocco and it works fine now. Zezen (talk) 05:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thank you for your barnstar. I've been on Wikipedia for nearly a decade on various accounts and it has certainly got more hostile to content creation in that time so it is nice when someone values new content. Renamed user 329872503 (talk) 10:02, 2 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Re comment on my talk page. There is a good article on systemic bias in Wikipedia here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias)

The argument goes that as Wikipedia editors are not representative of the world’s population this is reflected in the coverage of some topics. Although I’ve branched out recently I’ve created quite a few articles relating to the UK’s social security system and Government reforms in this area. For example articles like Pay to Stay, Under-occupancy penalty, Flexible Support Fund, Help to Work and Support for Mortgage Interest. Frankly nobody else is working on articles in this area. Part of the problem with systemic bias is that articles most Wikipedia editors are unfamiliar with are - in my experience - more likely to be deleted on the basis that "If I've not heard of it. It can't be notable!". In the years I've been on Wikipedia I've found it a problem particularly with non-Western content like African politics and stuff like Australian Aboriginal mythology which most people don't have much expertise on. Renamed user 329872503 (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Renamed user 329872503, both for your explanation and your work to mitigate these. I concur and support you here. Zezen (talk) 03:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Negro
Hello - What I mean is that "negro" is not necessarily equivalent to "black" in societies that have such a social construct. Among the Pahari of Nepal, for instance, the Madhesi, though they are known as "Black Nepalese" in their vernacular, are not "Negro". Regards -- Soupforone (talk) 14:44, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Indeed. But let us not be "Madhesi-centric" nor US-centric. See the Consitution of Liberia or even the recent US cases, where Negro overtook Black people (Google ngram). Do you agree now,  Soupforone, or do you have other statistics showing that really nobody uses this term in English speaking countries? Zezen (talk) 16:32, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

non-Jewish, but religion-based, analogs of blood libel
I noted your discussion re Blood libel, and our colleague said nothing about what i consider obvious: there should be links to find the (separate) topic you're talking about from Blood libel, like a see also. I just split out Blood libel (novel usage) (which i think has more currency than the sense you were advocating for, for even stronger reasons than what they cited to you, but i think that, assuming available sources, Worst come to worst, you can develop an article on, say, your WP personal sandbox, and avoid the doubters until you've met more of the anticipable complaints.  But one principle you need to keep in mind is that we name articles not by what logically describes them, but by what is established usage. I insist that Bl(nu) can only be mentioned in Bl as a misuse of the expression, but bcz it is a misuse that gets mass-media attention (1) it is a legitimate (but losing) contender for being the Blood libel article, and it's entitled (since there's no other practical name for it without using the words "blood" and "libel", which is why we use suffixed titles. There may be an established term for the phenomenon that (if i follow you) you were arguing should be given to BL as its accepted (not the WP) meaning, and for instance our (Jewish) bl article should mention that that term does apply to bl. My impression is that editors concerned that a verifiable topic should be covered, succeed if they don't get sidetracked by arguing that they know the truth about what its article's title should be:  getting "control" over the  exact title you favor is a lost cause. --Jerzy•t 12:22, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) there should be an article, linking to b.l., noting the striking parallels you cite with b.l. in its millenium-old sense
 * 2) there probably should be a survey article, linked from b.l. (say, a WP:See also link) to the info you're advocating for.

Thanks Jerzy. See my answer in the deletion discussion of this new article. Zezen (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I construe that as describing this edit-diff, but your terse response in this section fails to hint at what, about what i said above, you think your del-pg edit you that mention is relevant to. Perhaps in 12 or 36 hours i'll be willing to reread (for our potential mutual benefit) what i wrote (IIRC for your possible benefit and not bcz i have any personal interest in pursuing whatever you'd mentioned) above in this section, to seek hints about why you think i will care about whichever article content you said something about. But at the moment i'm uncertain that what even i've said in this edit makes sense to me, and that the syntax deserves simplification.  (In any case, if you don't know how create links to specif edit diffs, IMO you should make the effort to learn.) --Jerzy•t 09:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, hell, you said
 * ... However, I want to keep or extend the "traditional usage" in the original blood libel article: all the cases where a group accused another group of (mis)using blood for political reasons. See its page history, where my proposal was rejected.
 * and ..."keep[ing] or extend[ing] the 'traditional usage' in" this revision has no appeal for me. But i haven't, for now, the patience to proofread even this grudging 2nd try before saving. --Jerzy•t 09:26, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Dear Jerzy - I love sentences such as "folds, thrusts and overturned beds are all common in the zones of orogeny", but your contribution hereinabove fries my brain cells, that is is beyond my ken. If you rewrote it applying less convoluted syntax, I would be wont to further contribute thereto. Best regards i pozdrowienia! Zezen (talk) 13:18, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
 * While i've made it my business to understand the orthography of Polish far better than is typical of Americans, trying to communicate with me in that language would be an extravagant waste of your effort.
 * I erred in trying to address, head on, your message "See my answer in the deletion discussion of this new article".
 * Well...
 * a.  Possibly you were trying to solicit my assistance on something, and if so please state it as an explicit request.


 * b.  Possibly you believe you are in a position to assist me in some way, but you've so far failed to help me believe you can do so (at least without more preliminary investment by me than i will plausibly make). I remain open to the possibility that you will succeed by being much more direct in your next post or two, here on my talk page.


 * --Jerzy•t 00:32, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Dear Jerzy: Loath I would be and abhorrent to redole us parlaying in this mongrel of Old Slavonic that Polish transmogrified into over its post-Popielic aeons. Banish this rhabdosic or shall I venture it: rhabsodomatic conception forthwith! Let us parlay at the pansophy eclaircising eisegesis in post-Goidelic Chaucerian loghorrea that we have been wont to employ so far.

Now that is what I mean hereby: do clarify what the heck you meant by e.g. this bit you penned above: "your terse response in this section fails to hint at what, about what i said above, you think your del-pg edit you that mention is relevant to. Perhaps in 12 or 36 hours i'll be willing to reread (for our potential mutual benefit) what i wrote ... "

Have you thus so far "reread in 12 or 36 hours what you wrote", for our mutual benefit, bien sûr :)? Zezen (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit on Talk:Mya Byrne
Re this, as a trans person I'm not even going to click on the link to a known TERF blog. You're an experienced editor so I'm leaving a personal message rather than templating you with a warning: Do not misgender trans people (whether article subjects or editors) or link to TERF blogs, even on talk pages. Funcrunch (talk) 14:10, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch As a human being, and a WP editor - do click it (and everything else) by all means. And do not warn me ;). So, read that article, find the RS, update the bio, and enjoy your day! Zezen (talk) 14:19, 14 October 2017 (UTC)


 * TERFs dox and cause great harm to trans people; I am absolutely not clicking on a link to a source that encourages violence against people like me. Do not insert this again. Funcrunch (talk) 14:35, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

@Funcrunch: So: 1. Do no click. (A scary Need_for_cognition monster may jump out at you otherwise!). 2. Stay also away from this and similar WP articles, if you are impacted (aka "triggered") by their content. 3. Switch off access to the Net and take a walk.

To be honest I think it would have been preferable to shift it down instead of removing it and suggesting it be shifted down; not everyone has the time or effort to monitor all pages he/she is interested in (my watchlist would be too full) and the special agent audio clip is clearly relevant to the topic.

Sources do not have to be on the web, blogs
404 is not a reason to remove a source. Policy is clear, you simply have to be able to verify it, perhaps through a library. Also you didn't check to see if it's available on the Wayback machine. You're wrong about blogs. WP:BLP says "Never use self-published sources—including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets—as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article. "Self-published blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control." But looking at again, it's trivial and I'm not restoring it, although I might add an edit summary why. Doug Weller talk 08:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Sovereign democracy are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

I'm going to restore your discussion as WP:AGF, even though I'm not convinced that you're good editor material. Bullish reverts and demands for me to "Restore it." speak to an editor who's WP:NOTHERE rather than a good faith editor. Keep up the bullish behaviour, and you'll soon find yourself on the wrong side of someone who's harder headed than are you, and who has far more experience than do you. Needless to say, the outcome will not sway in your favour. Iryna Harpy (talk) 06:55, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

@ Iryna Harpy 1. Thanks for AGF.

2. You deleted my contribution, not the other way round.

3. There are. See e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_democracy for starters.

4. I work full time nowadays so I cannot fully research and update the mainspace alas: I thus leave mostly such wikifying notes in Talks.

5. I am thus forced to write such notes in text mode on a mobile: sorry for brevity, TLAs and self corrections.

6. Ta for the ta!

Bows again

 * Cheers, Zezen. It's worth looking into, and I might just do so... but that would be umpteen-thousandth item on my wish list, and I probably don't actually have enough strength to put in the research at this moment in time. I guess that's the way of things: if you have some time and inclination, the timing is wrong. Conversely, one can have the inclination but simply not enough time (or the ideal equipment). When we both have all the elements converge, let's collaborate on a few articles. I'll try not to be so short tempered, I promise. If I am, you have every right to WP:TROUT me. Apologies for the bad faith attitude I started with.


 * Incidentally, I hope at least one other editor takes an interest as it will help to keep it fresh in my mind, and could be the push I need to research and develop it further. If nothing happens for a while - and you happen to check on the article - feel free to ping me from the talk page as a reminder that it is waiting for a little attention. Cheers!

Advice re: List of incidents of xenophobia and racism related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic
Hello @Zezen,

As a very new Wikipedia editor I'm hoping you can advise me concerning a dispute that you noticed on this talk page for List of incidents of xenophobia and racism related to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

I think I've done my level best with further discussion to try to build consensus with the user Donkey Hot - Talk but can't see it going much further due to stonewalling and quibbling over words and sources.

So, I created a dispute resolution request here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#List_of_incidents_of_xenophobia_and_racism_related_to_the_2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic

but not sure if I should have asked for a 3rd opinion first or village pump or another more arcane WP mechanism which I am not aware of.

Any advice appreciated

Billybostickson (talk) 17:06, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I looked up the request (not the discussion or edits history as such) and what you did is right. No need for village pump here.

My quick advice is "learning by doing". And taking Wikipedia's (and not your) interest to heart. Think about your motives, especially if you wish to fix things here because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tendentious_editing#Righting_great_wrongs.

The worst that may happen at this stage is that you are blocked for 24 hours for edit warring or such. Just go on and see what happens with this first dispute. Wishing both of yous well. Update: pinging you here, just in case.

Proposed deletion of Four Dead in Ohio


The article Four Dead in Ohio has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Nothing substantial found during search to support notability for this documentary."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I was aware, Sum mer PhD v2.0.

There is much more out of scope or controversial stuff left on other Talk pages, as you know, so I chipped in.

FYI, I was looking for a global article about the same in the See Also section and failed to find it. Does it exist?

See the Talk or History (a mini edit war) of the related Profaning a monument, or the entry above in my Talk to see why I am interested in these. You are also invited to weigh in there, too! Zezen (talk)

Copying within Wikipedia
Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that you need to be crossed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  19:56, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Hm. I did this: When copying content from one article to another, at a minimum provide a link back to the source page in the edit summary at the destination page and state that content was copied from that source. If substantial, consider posting a note on both talk pages.

It was not substantial so only at the target. What else to do exactly and why so, copyright wise?

Zezen (talk) 20:03, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Ping S Philbrick  just in case. Zezen (talk) 21:06, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , If it isn't substantial, and I agree in this case it isn't, then there is no need to follow the suggestion to include a specific note on each talk page.
 * However, as noted at the linked guideline, you should have included an edit summary with suggested wording:
 * Copied content from ; see that page's history for attribution
 * I realize it's too late to add the edit summary in connection with the edit as edit summaries are not editable, but the guideline discusses how to do a dummy edit to add the attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so. (Thanks for the ping.)  S Philbrick  (Talk)  00:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , After posting I realized I didn't really respond to your question "why so, copyright wise".

Ta, S Philbrick. I will not do more than here tho. The source should have Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, hence my copy has the same by inheritance. Logics and law. No need to repeat the obvious. Also: too much hassle, as we often edit on mobile.

Now, do you want to learn about a real copyright problem I saw on wikicommons? I contacted the author, but despite his promise, he has not fixed it yet.

 * You raise a good point that everything on a mobile is more challenging. I know that more than half of our readers are reading on mobiles. I don't know the breakdown of editing. I can imagine fixing a typo on a mobile but I have trouble imagining doing any serious editing on a mobile. Good for you if you can manage it but that doesn't change our legal requirements. You claim your copy has the same license by inheritance. you did identify the source article in your edit summary, and I presume you are arguing that's enough. Perhaps it is. I hope you will open up a discussion at the page and argue for a change in the guideline to eliminate the requirement to include the text that readers should see the original article for attribution. Until that happens, you violated our guideline. I hope you will remedy it.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  21:07, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * As an addendum, for what it's worth, I would support you. I think a good argument can be made that identifying the source article with a link in the edit summary is sufficient. If you propose that the guideline be changed to reflect that, you can count on me for support (subject to the possibility that our legal department provides a cogent argument for the additional text). I hope you will do so, because frankly, kind of tiresome to drop these notices on good faith contributors.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  21:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks again @

1. I often edit in the mobile UI, including rearranging (thus cutting) or typing up to 5 sentences. E.g. right now I am replying in the source code mode, as I needed to fix the tag hereinabove. FYI, just @ S Philbrick (Talk)  pinging you there is a pain, too.

2. Let us agree to disagree. I concentrate on the mainspace, thus avoiding the templates, policies, and e.g. the ANI drama. (OTOH, granted, once in a while I do chip in the highest level FRAM affairs or coordinated ideological mass meatpuppet campaigns.)

You can revert me if you seem fit.

3. Now, what about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Praha,_Na_P%C5%99%C3%ADkop%C4%9B,_Pride_2017,_Homo_Lobby.jpg

It seems much more obvious: the Commons serving as a commercial portfolio with the discrepancy in the rights granted.

Ta for the direct notice, @Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus.

1. I became Wiki interested in CEE articles years ago, in fact, thus I interacted with Icewhiz (i.e. was reverted or so by him) maybe 3 years ago already, if my memory serves me right. I looked into the pattern of his edits already back then. Then I had a partial wikibreak.

2. When I returned and "met" him (already "them") again, I was puzzled even more so I read Wikipediocracy re this, including snippets of the related ANI discussions.

3. As I had also virtually crossed paths with Poeticbent, I also thus knew of his important essay as well. Ta for alerting me to it, of course.

4. I do not want to instigate or engage with formal ANIs and other admin TLAs but yes, I gently advise interested parties of Water/Fire/Skywhizzy RGW patterns of behaviour, especially of such sleeper SPAs when I spot these.

For the record
I have not touched EN Wiki since the ban, @User:Nsk92, @Bishonen and to whom it may concern. In fact, I looked in here and saw the alerts after logging back only after many days' break. The checkuser tool may help: after COVID-19 I have been logging in from geographically limited locations, mostly on my mobile. The sock image on my Talk page above is what I have always thought of such IPs' and SPAs' or meatpuppets' attacks, and I have acted accordingly.

I also do not hold accounts or comment on other non-Wiki* sites (e.g. "cracies") commenting the ins and out of this one, so if somebody creates an account with this handle: it ain't me there either.

See Joe job, Agent provocateur, and my prediction here, the FUD section that it would happen. User:Drmies may elucidate the historical context, should he be so inclined.

In fact, I do not plan to edit EN Wiki for some years to come, apart from adding the Retired notice and posting a high-level essay here, on my Talk, explaining the reasons for this decision spliced with my amateur analysis of the evolution of Wiki itself, when I find some time.
