Whitehouse (D-RI), Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, responded to SC Justice Alito’s letter (addressed to Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Whitehouse), in which Justice Alito refused to recuse from cases related to the January 6th insurrection, despite the display of MAGA battle flags at two of his homes. “Justice Alito’s story conflicts with the accounts of other people involved, and the Supreme Court — uniquely in all of government — has no mechanism for getting to the truth. If the Court won’t create one, then we need to, and my SCERT Act would do that,” said Whitehouse.
Two reports indicate that MAGA battle flags were flown at 2 of Justice Alito’s residences. In a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, D and W called on the Chief Justice to implement an enforceable code of conduct at the Court and requested a meeting with the Chief Justice to discuss the Supreme Court’s worsening ethics crisis. The letter also requested that the Chief Justice ensure Justice Alito recuses from cases related to the January 6th insurrection. Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act was advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee last July. The bill would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a binding code of conduct, create a mechanism to investigate alleged violations of the code of conduct and other laws, improve disclosure and transparency when a justice has a connection to a party or amicus before the Court, end the practice of justices ruling on their own conflicts of interests, and require justices to explain their recusal decisions to the public. Congress has an appropriate and well-established role in oversight of the judiciary and updating ethics laws that apply to federal officials, including justices and judges. Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act and judicial recusal law, which expressly apply to the justices. Congress also created through statute the Judicial Conference, which administers financial disclosure laws for the entire judiciary.
.....is white with an evergreen tree at its center. The flag was initially a Revolutionary War banner, with the motto taken from philosopher John Locke. Recently, however, the flag has been co-opted by far-right Christian nationalists looking to impose their will on the United States by any means necessary. Rolling Stone reported last fall that House Speaker Mike Johnson flew the flag outside of his office in Congress, and that he has ties to the New Apostolic Reformation, a network of Christian leaders who believe that God has given Christians a “mandate” to “conquer” the government and other aspects of life. Rolling Stone further reported that Supreme Court architect Leonard Leo flew the same ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag as Alito and Johnson

Posing three questions:
We deployed a tripartite framework based on our previous work on warning‐response failure (Parker et al., 2009; Parker & Stern, 2002, 2005), emphasizing a combination of psychological (cognitive and motivational bias), bureau‐organizational (organizational fragmentation, competition, and turf concerns), and agenda‐political factors (prioritization of attention and resources and competitive framing). This literature suggests that discernible patterns of denial, disorganization, and distraction, as well as bureaucratic conflict, and the politicization of threat assessment and policy measures go a long way in explaining historical warning‐response failures.
Factors associated with these three perspectives shed considerable light on the dynamics that contributed to the Trump Administration's failure to proactively address the threat and effectively manage the pandemic and—by extension—to the comparatively high toll of lives lost in the US during that period. As suggested in the apt title of a recent paper by Platje et al. (2020), the COVID‐19 pandemic appears to have been “both an expected and unexpected event.” However, many of the critical challenges that vexed the Trump Administration's response were not only foreseeable but were, in fact, foreseen. ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9115435/)
The thalweg principle (also known as the thalweg doctrine or the rule of thalweg) is the legal principle that if the boundary between two political entities is stated to be a waterway, without further description (e.g., a median line, right bank, eastern shore, low tide line, etc.), the boundary follows the thalweg of that watercourse. In particular, the boundary follows the center of the principal navigable channel of the waterway (which is presumably the deepest part). If there are multiple navigable channels in a river, the one principally used for downstream travel (likely having the strongest current) is used. This definition has been used in specific descriptions as well. The Treaty of Versailles, for example, specifies that "In the case of boundaries which are defined by a [navigable] waterway" the boundary is to follow "the median line of the principal channel of navigation."

A relative majority of the first settlers whose descendants today are the Afrikaners were from the United Provinces (now Netherlands and Flanders), [1] though up to one-sixth of the community was also of French Huguenot origin, and a seventh from Germany. [2]
Flemish bears the burden of being strongly associated with the rural population, being spoken chiefly in the countryside. The town dialects and their rural variants are on the edge of extinction. Belgians who speak 'Old Flemish as their mother tongue are in rapid decline, just as any other regional language. The direct danger of extinction is enhanced since in some villages more than 95% of the youngsters will speak Nederlans. Many times the old local dialect is spoken only by the oldest members of the adult population, as children are no longer taught.
The Dutch province of Zeeland consists of several former islands which were difficult to reach until well into the 20th century. As a result, there is roughly one dialect per island. The respective dialects differ clearly, but only slightly. Within the island dialects themselves dialectal differences also exist: native speakers can frequently tell which village (at least on their own island) a person is from by the specific dialect he or she speaks, even if the differences are imperceptible to outsiders.
Although there are many different dialects and accents, the transcription would be fairly standard.

In the Dutch language the word Afrikaans means African, in the general sense. Consequently, Afrikaans is commonly denoted as Zuid-Afrikaans. This ambiguity also exists in Afrikaans itself and is resolved either in the context of its usage, or by using Afrika- in the adjective sense (e.g. Afrika-olifant for African elephant).
A handful of Afrikaans words are exactly the same as in English. The following Afrikaans sentences, for example, are exactly the same in the two languages, in terms of both their meaning and spelling; only their pronunciation differs.
Plautdietsch (pronounced [ˈplaʊt.ditʃ]) or Mennonite Low German is a Low Prussian dialect of East Low German with Dutch influence that developed in the 16th and 17th centuries in the Vistula delta area of Royal Prussia. [3] [4] The word Plautdietsch translates to "flat (or low) German" (referring to the plains of northern Germany or the simplicity of the language). [5] In other Low German dialects, the word for Low German is usually realised as Plattdütsch/Plattdüütsch [ˈplatdyːtʃ] or Plattdüütsk [ˈplatdyːtsk], but the spelling Plautdietsch is used to refer specifically to the Vistula variant of the language.
Plautdietsch speakers today are mostly the descendants of Mennonites who fled in the 16th century to escape persecution and resettled in the Vistula delta. These refugees were Frisians and Saxons from East Frisia, people from Flanders Netherlands, (then including what was to become Belgium) ) and central Europeans. [6] They settled in West Prussia mostly in the three local areas of Nehrung (on the Baltic Sea), Werder (islands in the Vistula delta) and Niederung (south of the Werder), where they adopted the respective local Low German dialect as their everyday language. [6]
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up a citation.
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today.

Giving due weight (and avoiding giving undue weight) means that articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held or supported aspects and views...(Talk:Bowling Green massacre)
Hi, first of all thanks very much for the time and effort you contribute to Wikipedia. You clearly want to improve the quality of the project and are here for the right reasons. Regarding your ongoing debate on the ___________________________talk page, I would ask you not to make any more replies to or to directly address the editor with whom you are having what appears to be a personal dispute. I realize that within your dispute there are article related points and it is necessary to debate in order to reach a consensus so some advice based on Wikipedia policy would be:
In summary, the way we behave on the talk page needs to be inclusive of all editors, focused on content and not on personal points or the people that make them. I have sent this advice, verbatim, to the other party involved in the debate and hope that the outcome will be that we are all able to have more fruitful discussions in the future. Thanks very much for your time and continued contributions. Happy editing!
I understand the frustration. I'm a technical numbskull so I can't help much in that regard but the important thing to remember is not to be put off or frustrated, or allow difficulties with others to overwhelm your passion for the encyclopedia. Too many valuable contributors have been driven off because of the frustration of being too deeply involved and protective of certain topics. It becomes too much to handle or at least it seems so. But it is very important not to let such behavior get in the way of editing here. Buster Seven Talk 13:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Why am I here? Why do I volunteer my time on this project?
This is a good answer to that. Wikipedia will never, ever, ever be perfect. But it is good, even great, and it is free as in freedom. That's good enough for me.
If that's not quite enough for you, consider this. In a little over a decade, a group of self-selected volunteers have constructed what is the greatest educational work ever developed by mankind. Millions have contributed and billions have learned and benefited. Please contribute here in good faith and to further that mission of education and learning.
Being misunderstood seriously impedes one's ability to engage in Wikipedia discussions. By expecting to be misunderstood, by knowing that the other editor will completely misunderstand what (or how) you are saying, care is taken to "perfect" what you say and how you say it. Ambiguous and quick responses are the usual culprits.
And...once the misunderstanding gains momentum, once the other editor begins to respond to what they think you said (or meant to say), it is hard if not impossible to stop. Therefore, it is important to be as clear and precise and descriptive as possible. Say it two ways, if necessary.
Three goals:(1)"make a clear and limited statement and (2) "make sure the statement is understood". and (3) "Win the Point".
Consider who you alienate and who you win over. Readers and other editors are destined to go shopping. You want them to shop in your store. You want to encourage loyalty to your brand. An in-control temperament and statement is a powerful tool of persuasion.
Resist macho chatter and arm-wrestling. Uphold basic social and universally-held norms. Tailor your message to the audience at hand. Should you concern yourself with who you might offend? Is that a part of our obligation as editors? Do you need to consider the other editors vantage point and POV in order not to alienate, and in so doing, perpetuating animus?
I have removed one or more external links you added to the main body of The Voice UK. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks.
The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. The names of any immediate, ex, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. Names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced.
When you post to talk pages or other discussion pages (but not articles) you should put four tildes (that is to say ~~~~) at the end of your post. The Wikimedia software will automatically convert that to a signature and date stamp, which as well as telling other editors who posted the message and when, will also contain a link to your talk page, which can be very useful for anyone wishing to contact you.

In general, the RfC process involves adding the template to a relevant talk page and asking a question. The RfC system automatically lists them, as per WP:RFC. In this case, maybe adding the {{rfc|proj}} to WT:EOTW, and adding to the template a neutral form of the question asked, would at least get the RfC started. It might also be possible to add a link to a subpage to the talk page for any sort of criticism of the award, preferably indicating a "noping" template is to be used to link to the name of the editor whose nomination is called into question. And, I suppose, if one thinks that there might be future serious questions regarding the process. to allow for discussion there. But the easiest and probably at least sufficient way to go right now might be to just add the rfc template to the EOTW talk page, with maybe a question something along the lines of "Do any editors have any significant questions regarding the way in which the EotW nominations and awards have been conducted in the past, or, alternately, any ideas which they think might improve the process in some way?" as the statement of the issue in question.

Harassment is extremely corrosive to the editing environment of Wikipedia. Administrators should be encouraged to step in with short blocks or other enforceable remedies as soon as they become aware of a possible pattern of harassment. The community supports them in these actions. Administrators who become aware of a pattern of harassment should monitor the situation and take action to ensure it does not continue of escalate.

A direct section link. When hovering over a section heading, the section sign § will appear. Clicking on § will jump to the section and the URL will update. You can then copy the URL fragment to simplify creation for a section link, or you can right click on the § and copy the entire URL. This feature can be disabled by adding a rule to your personal CSS:
.mw-headline-anchor {display: none;}
From closing comment at WP:SPA:
One forms opinions of fellow editors as a result of their actions. Diversified over time and subjects an editor grows and establishes an "M.O.". Working within a narrow range of articles, an editor may find it difficult to build credibility if in community discussions with the same editors, although extended improvement to a specific section of Wikipedia should not disadvantage an expert opinion. As with all Wikipedia articles, users need to cite the relevant verifiably published evidence from reliable sources to support their point of view. Inevitably, some experienced editors might not agree with cited interpretations during content discussions. Please do not be discouraged by such editors. The process is actually normal vetting and peer review which happens in every level of informed editorial research and discussion. Y your focus, even expertise, is best directed toward finding and citing independent reliable sources for the articles you edit.
Editing Wikipedia talk:Mass message senders
To User_________: First thing though; you need to add this template to the Talk page of each page you have contributed to with a financial connection and add a list of such pages on your user page. This is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use, [12] and not doing so may violate astroturfing laws (see here and here for more info).
Hello (User:________). The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of
conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on
neutral point of view and
what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a
black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the
Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at
User:Buster7. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Buster7|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.
I'm saddened that you are choosing to further restrict your interactions with other editors this way. It was my intention to work with you some more on our areas of common interest such as the ___________ articles you've been editing lately. But of course it is your choice to choose not to. I'll just say here that I watch a lot of people's talkpages and chime in from time to time. That's a normal part of Wikipedia culture and even has a name - WP:Talk page stalker. But "stalker" in this case is tongue-in-cheek. Offering friendly advice, like I did for you regarding the WP:TALKO guideline, is not really stalking. Please keep this in mind as an element of WP:AGF. - Brianhe (talk) 25February2016

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed. It also helps you to specifically locate edits you have made in the past (via View history or User contributions). So please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. ```

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled " Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I was fairly certain this edit was vandalism due to you changing only one figure, until I searched the article history and found out you added the table originally. It would really make the intent and rationale of your contributions clear, and would decrease confusion for other editors. Thanks. User Opencooper|talk]]) 08:28, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the
named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing <ref name="name">text of the citation</ref>
. Thereafter, the same named reference may be reused any number of times by typing just <ref name="name" />
.
The text of the name
can be almost anything—apart from just numeric. If spaces are used in the text of the name
, the text must be placed within double quotes. To help with page maintenance it is recommended that the text of the name
has a connection to the inline citation or footnote, for example "author year page": <ref name="Smith 2005 p94">text of the citation</ref>
.

Because of this, copying content from another page within Wikipedia requires supplementary attribution to indicate it. At minimum, this means providing an
edit summary at the destination page – that is, the page into which the material is copied – stating that content was copied, together with a
link to the source (copied-from) page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. Content reusers should also consider leaving notes at the talk pages of both source and destination.

Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors From Jimbo's page, about 14 year olds:
Can we please do without the accusations of ulterior motives? Wikipedia is only as good as the state of human knowledge appearing in best available reliable sources, as compiled by us editors. When human knowledge or the sources reporting it are flawed, as they may or may not be here, there's not much an encyclopedia can do. If we were editing during the era when people still believed in alchemy we'd have a lot of articles about efforts to turn lead into gold because that was the state of knowledge at the time. It's up to the scientists, journalists, and historians to get their story straight, not the encyclopedia to jump out in front of them. If people who truly understand blackberries and computer security believe NYT, WSJ, FBI, etc., have it wrong, they need to take those complaints up somewhere else. Editor Wikidemon at Hilary Clintons article on July 14, 2016.
What does it do?
If the article is later expanded enough to have a toc, should the template be removed?
Buster Seven Talk 05:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Paragraphs should be short enough to be readable, but long enough to develop an idea. Overly long paragraphs should be split up, as long as the cousin paragraphs keep the idea in focus.
One-sentence paragraphs are unusually emphatic (Uttered with emphasis. Expressed or performed with emphasis: responded with an emphatic "no." 2. Forceful and definite in expression or action), and should be used sparingly (thrifty). Articles should rarely, if ever, consist solely of such paragraphs.
Some paragraphs are really tables or lists in disguise. They should be rewritten as prose or converted to their unmasked form. Wikipedia:When to use tables and Wikipedia:Embedded list offer guidance on the proper use of these elements.
Sections usually consist of paragraphs of running prose. Between paragraphs—as between sections—there should be a single blank line and the first line of each paragraph is not indented. Bullet points should be minimized in the body and lead of the article, if they are used at all; however, a bulleted list may be useful to break up what would otherwise be a large, grey mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort on the part of readers. However, bulleted lists are typical in the reference and reading sections towards the end of the article. Bullet points are usually not separated by blank lines.
The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since they can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, paragraphs that exceed a certain length become hard to read. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading; in such circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points.
The default sort is what allows the persons name of the BLP or BDP to show up on in the category, alphabetized by the last name. Carptrash (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

I am a WP Wanderer. I am involved with the BP article because I saw you conversation w/ Slim Virgin regarding the Paid editor situation. I am also one of the original members of the WER project and its sub-project Editor of the Week. Your plight and the fact that it caused you to retire has been on my mind since. When an editor like you retires, WP and the community lose so much. Not just the work you do is missed but your attitude, your way of being, the congenial way you work with fellow editors. I'm not sure but I think you got involved with a 'ruff crowd' a bit too early in your WP career. The same thing happened to me. I was a rookie and I was doing battle with veterans at the Sara Palin page during the 2008 Election period. We were lucky. There was a group of editors that, while they obviously supported Palin, at least could be fair and relatively impartial. Looks like your experience at BP was different. It was just you and Gandydancer.
I wonder if you might consider renewing you enthusiasm for Wikipedia editing. It doesnt have to be at articles like BP or Chevron. That would be nice and you are more than welcome. A restructuring is taking place that you might find very intertesting. But, it can be in any one of a thousand ways. Your voice needs to be heard. Others will try to drown it out with their chatter and their divisiveness but your voice needs to be heard. I hope I am not to presumptuous in this request. As I said, your forced retirement bothered me. I support whatever you decide. ``` Buster Seven Talk 20:02, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I wrote and improved articles and tried to help people. All the more so because I'd been entrusted with adminship. But it's reached a point where I'm being accused of harming the project, as well as of being dishonorable, and I was already questioning whether I should continue to volunteer here after what happened to the "best known for IP". As you see, I perceive dangerous problems with the project. If I stay, I would have to fight for it. But Wikipedia is not supposed to be a battleground, and it's apparent that my views are not shared by most. So instead, I'm leaving. I'd like to say I'll come back, but I doubt I would be welcomed given what I have finally said here. And I had already been facing the likelihood of leaving when WP:FLOW is instituted—incidentally, one of the few indications that there are few of us women editors is that there has not been a big reaction to that name, which to me as a woman (maybe of my time and place), says "The WMF wants to put us all on the rag" in big neon letters. That will fatally impair our ability to talk to each other. So ... I'm leaving earlier than I expected and it won't be "us" any longer when that happens. Goodbye. I loved this project

Your edits have no possible chance of remaining in the article...but they show potential. You have chosen "Entertainer" as your way of sharing yourself with the Wikipedia experience and, so, your contributions are rightfully deleted ASAP.

I am troubled by the behavior of some of the parties involved. The issue is mostly about bad behavior. The diffs show the less-than-ideal behavior on all sides. What concerned me the most was the tactics used by _________ to attack just about every single person who said anything against his behavior—and his behavior was often very bullying in tone and attitude. The tone I'm seeing has gotten very personal and gone well past the topics at hand. I respect the work that editors do to keep articles free of fringe.
Greetings. I have reverted your vandalism edit at the Chicago Cubs article. Vandals are subject warnings and to blocks of their abilities to edit.

Talk 00:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)Community attempts to resolve disputes calmly and expeditiously are thwarted when the processes are disrupted by inflammatory accusations and disparaging rhetoric as editors seemingly pursue long term feuds with each other. Users with a history of bad blood should take appropriate steps, including disengagement, to reduce rather than increase negative interpersonal contact. Serious or serial feuding can lead to blocks, interaction bans or site bans to prevent the spread of disruption to the encyclopedia and the community.
" Hounding" is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on pages or topics they may edit or debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work, with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor.
An editor's contribution history is public, and there are various legitimate reasons for following an editor's contributions, such as for the purposes of recent changes patrol, WikiProject tagging, or for dispute resolution purposes. Under certain circumstances, these activities can easily be confused with hounding.
Editors should at all times remember to assume good faith before concluding that hounding is taking place, although editors following another editor's contributions should endeavour to be transparent and explain their actions wherever necessary in order to avoid mistaken assumptions being drawn as to their intentions.
Editors are human. They will sometimes make mistakes and suffer occasional lapses of judgment. However, editing in a collaborative project comes with the high expectation that they will do their utmost to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with others. Accordingly, inappropriate conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, disruptive point-making, and gaming the system, is prohibited, as is the use of the site to pursue feuds and quarrels.
Editors who repeatedly or seriously violate these basic standards of conduct may be sanctioned. Editors who have already been sanctioned may be sanctioned more harshly for repeated violations.
If you are incompetent, you don't know you are incompetent. The skills needed to produce a right answer to the question, "Are you stupid?" are exactly the skills needed to recognize what a right answer is. Asking, "Do you think I'm stupid?", is the wrong question to ask in order to prove intelligence. It pre-supposses that the asker already thinks the asker is stupid and that the answerer knows that the asker is thinking it. "The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." [7]

As the teams returned to Washington for the deciding Game 5, the Cubs sent Kyle Hendricks to the mound while the Nationals chose Gio González. The Cubs scored in the first as Jon Jay led off the game with a double and scored on an Anthony Rizzo groundout. The Cubs then loaded the bases with two outs, but Jason Heyward grounded out to end the inning. C1N1 A great play by Javy to cut down Turner at the plate prevented the Nationals from tying the game in the bottom of the first. In the second inning, Daniel Murphy hit a solo homer and Michael Turner hit a three-run shotr to put the Nationals up C1N4. González continued to struggle in the third as Kris Bryant doubled and Willson Contreras and Albert Almora Jr. walked to the load the bases. Addison Russell drove in his first run of the night on a groundout and Contreras scored on a wild pitch to narrow the lead to C3N4. Heyward would again end the threat by striking out on an outside pitch that would have been ball four. The Nationals went to the pen in the fourth, bringing in M. Albers and in the fifth brought in starter Max Scherzer in relief. [1] After Bryant and Rizzo were retired by Scherzer, Contreras gets an infield single and Zoebist singles to center. Russell hits a two run double down the third base line scoring Willy and Zoe. C5N4 An intentional walk to Heyward (hitting .162 in the post-season), a passed ball strikeout to (Baez) with Nats catcher Weiters committing an error, throwing the ball past first into right field allowing Russell to score, a catchers interference call on Weiters while pinch hitter Tommy La Stella (for Hendricks) at bat loads the bases, followed by Scherzer hitting John Jay in the knee with a pitch allowing Heyward to cross the plate. Cubs lead is now C7N4. In the bottom of the 5th Duensing starts the inning with a walk to Daniel Murphy and then Rendon and Weiters are outs. Pedro Strop comes in to strike out Taylor.C7N4
The Cubs added to their lead in the top of the sixth against "Kinzler". With two out, Russell "doubled" in Ben Zobrist (who had walked and was running with two outs) on a relatively easy fly ball that was badly misplayed by left fielder Jayson Werth. C8N4. In the sixth, Strop gets the first two outs but then walks Werth. Mike Montgomery now pitching. Harper doubles, Werth going to third. Zimmerman walks and the base are loaded. The Nationals scored on a wild pitch by Mike Montgomery scoring Werth and a double by Daniel Murphy scores Harper. Leading C8N6 in the seventh, the Cubs added a run when Kyle Schwarber, pinch hitting for Montgomery, hits a line drive single off reliever Sammy Solis that dents the outfield cushion and just misses going out. Jay singles to center with Schwarber going to third. He scores on a groundout by Kris Bryant. C9N6 In the bottom of the seventh inning relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. walked Taylor on 5 pitches and was replaced by Jose Quintana (in his first career relief appearance). who got Lobeton to fly out to RF for the first out. Turner singled to RF, Taylor going to 2nd. Werth walked, loading the bases. A sacrifice fly by Harper scored Taylor from third, narrowed the lead to C9N7. [2] Wade Davis came in "in relief" and struck out Ryan Zimmerman to end the seventh inning. In the bottom of the eighth, Davis gave up a run-scoring single by Michael Taylor to bring the lead to one at C9N8. Following a single by José Lobatón to put runners on first and second with two outs, Contreras picked Lobatón off of first, ending the inning. [3] In the ninth, Davis set the Nationals down in order, striking out Werth and getting Harper to swing at ball four, end the game and win the series for the Cubs. [4] [5]
Pat Hughes, on Cubs radio 670 The Score WSCR, made the following historic call for the final out of the game:
“ | A little bouncer, slowly towards Bryant. He will glove it and throw to Rizzo - it's in time! And the Chicago Cubs win the World Series! The Cubs come pouring out of the dugout, jumping up and down like a bunch of delirious 10-year-olds. The Cubs have done it! The longest drought in the history of American sports is over, and the celebration begins! | ” |
After the game and series, Hughes would routinely mention, due to the fact there was no radio or television in 1908 (the last time the Cubs won the World Series), his call was the first time in broadcast history which someone said the Cubs had won the world series. [6]

This is a painful, uncomfortable moment. Instead of trying to get past this moment, we should sit with it, wrap ourselves in the sorrow, distress and humiliation of it. We need to sit with the discomfort of the president of the United States referring to several countries as “shitholes” during a meeting (in the Oval Office of the White House), a meeting that continued after his comments. No one is coming to save us. Before we can figure out how to save ourselves from this travesty, we need to sit with that, too.
In the first quarter of 2017, the real US GDP increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent, the slowest growth since the first quarter of 2014. The growth was primarily due to an increase in business structures and equipment (such as mining and wells), industrial supplies and materials (such as petroleum), and services. This was offset by decreases in motor vehicles and parts, private inventory investment, and government spending. [1] On 31 March 2017, the U.S. national debt stood at $19.8 trillion [2] representing a quarterly decline of 0.65%. [3]
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Bahá'u'lláh, founder of Baháʼí Faith, a religion that developed in Persia, having roots in Islam, [4] urged the elimination of religious intolerance. He taught that God is one, and religion has been progressively revealed over time through Manifestations of God, the founders of religion. Bahá'u'lláh taught that Baháʼís must associate with peoples of all religions, whether this is reciprocated or not.
Baháʼís refer to this concept as Progressive revelation, meaning that each religion brings a more advanced understanding of divinity and updated social laws as mankind matures. In this view, God's word is revealed through a series of messengers: Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Báb and Bahá'u'lláh (the founder of the Baháʼí Faith) among them. According to Baháʼí writings, there will not be another messenger for many hundreds of years.[ citation needed]. There is also a respect for the religious traditions of the native peoples of the planet who may have little other than oral traditions as a record of their religious figures.

The list of prominent people who have publicly defied President Trump — including onetime allies — keeps growing. Consider what has happened in just the past few weeks:
Maybe a dozen years ago my wife and I ran a semi-successful resale shop in the Rogers park neighborhood of Chicago. I say semi-successful because while we always paid the rent, we never made any real money. When we started our little venture into "being our own bosses" the rent was a reasonable $300 a month. 7 years and two landlord changes later and the rent had more than doubled to $900. Luckily we had other "real" jobs that paid for our extravagant lifestyle :~). The store was located on a busy corner just east of the Jarvis L and had a nice big patio out front. I made it my practice to daily set up rooms and displays outside for customers and passers-by to peruse our goods. One day a kitchen, the next a dining room, followed by a bedroom. The stuff was all piled into the aisles of the store each night only to be moved back outside the next day. We opened late in the day and stayed open into the evening. Hard work, sure, but we had a great time. We had an article written about the store in The Reader, which talked about my transition from t-shirt worker to collared shirt w/ a pocket worker. Regulars would stop by on their way home, friends would stop in to visit, and we would sit outside among the merchandise to act as magnets for shoppers. We renamed the street to Jarvis Square just to add a bit of English class to the place. Early on, I painted our Marquee with the address "1447 Jarvis Square". After our opening success we started to conduct 2 day (I think it was a Sat/Sun event but I have to ask Cathy) Flea Markets and advertised "in beautiful DownTown Jarvis Square" on the patio and the city berms up and down Jarvis and Greenview. I think we had about six events over the life of the store. We usually had 25 or so independent vendors. They, like us, would set up early and stay late. The Flea Markets were a BIG hit. People came throughout the day, meeting neighbors and old friends they hadn't seen in a while. With the EL close by riders could see the event and drop in to shop. It was a big party and I wore a top hat so I could be found easily. We collected a small nominal fee for advertising and minimal expenses. No permits or permission... and no problems that I can recall. I think we would do it again in a heart beat if any ever asked us to. But no one ever has which I find very surprising. Before we opened, the building was a bit of an eyesore. The space we rented had been vacant for many years with only occasional use by the local alderman as a campaign office. The other storefronts were either empty or were office type businesses with no street presence. Don Selle's Coffee Shoppe was a local institution and hangout and did good business. I have to think long and hard about who was in the other dozen or so spots. By the time we left, the new owners had renovated rather than tear down and we had been an important fixture in the renovation and reawakening of the whole little business district. Others played their part and spent gobs of money, but without our impetus, their vision would never have been realized. Jarvis Liquors going out of business also had a big affect on the changes.

Whitehouse (D-RI), Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, responded to SC Justice Alito’s letter (addressed to Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Whitehouse), in which Justice Alito refused to recuse from cases related to the January 6th insurrection, despite the display of MAGA battle flags at two of his homes. “Justice Alito’s story conflicts with the accounts of other people involved, and the Supreme Court — uniquely in all of government — has no mechanism for getting to the truth. If the Court won’t create one, then we need to, and my SCERT Act would do that,” said Whitehouse.
Two reports indicate that MAGA battle flags were flown at 2 of Justice Alito’s residences. In a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, D and W called on the Chief Justice to implement an enforceable code of conduct at the Court and requested a meeting with the Chief Justice to discuss the Supreme Court’s worsening ethics crisis. The letter also requested that the Chief Justice ensure Justice Alito recuses from cases related to the January 6th insurrection. Whitehouse’s Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency (SCERT) Act was advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee last July. The bill would require Supreme Court justices to adopt a binding code of conduct, create a mechanism to investigate alleged violations of the code of conduct and other laws, improve disclosure and transparency when a justice has a connection to a party or amicus before the Court, end the practice of justices ruling on their own conflicts of interests, and require justices to explain their recusal decisions to the public. Congress has an appropriate and well-established role in oversight of the judiciary and updating ethics laws that apply to federal officials, including justices and judges. Congress passed the Ethics in Government Act and judicial recusal law, which expressly apply to the justices. Congress also created through statute the Judicial Conference, which administers financial disclosure laws for the entire judiciary.
.....is white with an evergreen tree at its center. The flag was initially a Revolutionary War banner, with the motto taken from philosopher John Locke. Recently, however, the flag has been co-opted by far-right Christian nationalists looking to impose their will on the United States by any means necessary. Rolling Stone reported last fall that House Speaker Mike Johnson flew the flag outside of his office in Congress, and that he has ties to the New Apostolic Reformation, a network of Christian leaders who believe that God has given Christians a “mandate” to “conquer” the government and other aspects of life. Rolling Stone further reported that Supreme Court architect Leonard Leo flew the same ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag as Alito and Johnson

We deployed a tripartite framework based on our previous work on warning‐response failure (Parker et al., 2009; Parker & Stern, 2002, 2005), emphasizing a combination of psychological (cognitive and motivational bias), bureau‐organizational (organizational fragmentation, competition, and turf concerns), and agenda‐political factors (prioritization of attention and resources and competitive framing). This literature suggests that discernible patterns of denial, disorganization, and distraction, as well as bureaucratic conflict, and the politicization of threat assessment and policy measures go a long way in explaining historical warning‐response failures.
Factors associated with these three perspectives shed considerable light on the dynamics that contributed to the Trump Administration's failure to proactively address the threat and effectively manage the pandemic and—by extension—to the comparatively high toll of lives lost in the US during that period. As suggested in the apt title of a recent paper by Platje et al. (2020), the COVID‐19 pandemic appears to have been “both an expected and unexpected event.” However, many of the critical challenges that vexed the Trump Administration's response were not only foreseeable but were, in fact, foreseen.

The thalweg principle (also known as the thalweg doctrine or the rule of thalweg) is the legal principle that if the boundary between two political entities is stated to be a waterway, without further description (e.g., a median line, right bank, eastern shore, low tide line, etc.), the boundary follows the thalweg of that watercourse. In particular, the boundary follows the center of the principal navigable channel of the waterway (which is presumably the deepest part). If there are multiple navigable channels in a river, the one principally used for downstream travel (likely having the strongest current) is used. This definition has been used in specific descriptions as well. The Treaty of Versailles, for example, specifies that "In the case of boundaries which are defined by a [navigable] waterway" the boundary is to follow "the median line of the principal channel of navigation."

A relative majority of the first settlers whose descendants today are the Afrikaners were from the United Provinces (now Netherlands and Flanders), [1] though up to one-sixth of the community was also of French Huguenot origin, and a seventh from Germany. [2]
Flemish bears the burden of being strongly associated with the rural population, being spoken chiefly in the countryside. The town dialects and their rural variants are on the edge of extinction. Belgians who speak 'Old Flemish as their mother tongue are in rapid decline, just as any other regional language. The direct danger of extinction is enhanced since in some villages more than 95% of the youngsters will speak Nederlans. Many times the old local dialect is spoken only by the oldest members of the adult population, as children are no longer taught.
The Dutch province of Zeeland consists of several former islands which were difficult to reach until well into the 20th century. As a result, there is roughly one dialect per island. The respective dialects differ clearly, but only slightly. Within the island dialects themselves dialectal differences also exist: native speakers can frequently tell which village (at least on their own island) a person is from by the specific dialect he or she speaks, even if the differences are imperceptible to outsiders.
Although there are many different dialects and accents, the transcription would be fairly standard.

In the Dutch language the word Afrikaans means African, in the general sense. Consequently, Afrikaans is commonly denoted as Zuid-Afrikaans. This ambiguity also exists in Afrikaans itself and is resolved either in the context of its usage, or by using Afrika- in the adjective sense (e.g. Afrika-olifant for African elephant).
A handful of Afrikaans words are exactly the same as in English. The following Afrikaans sentences, for example, are exactly the same in the two languages, in terms of both their meaning and spelling; only their pronunciation differs.
Plautdietsch (pronounced [ˈplaʊt.ditʃ]) or Mennonite Low German is a Low Prussian dialect of East Low German with Dutch influence that developed in the 16th and 17th centuries in the Vistula delta area of Royal Prussia. [3] [4] The word Plautdietsch translates to "flat (or low) German" (referring to the plains of northern Germany or the simplicity of the language). [5] In other Low German dialects, the word for Low German is usually realised as Plattdütsch/Plattdüütsch [ˈplatdyːtʃ] or Plattdüütsk [ˈplatdyːtsk], but the spelling Plautdietsch is used to refer specifically to the Vistula variant of the language.
Plautdietsch speakers today are mostly the descendants of Mennonites who fled in the 16th century to escape persecution and resettled in the Vistula delta. These refugees were Frisians and Saxons from East Frisia, people from Flanders Netherlands, (then including what was to become Belgium) ) and central Europeans. [6] They settled in West Prussia mostly in the three local areas of Nehrung (on the Baltic Sea), Werder (islands in the Vistula delta) and Niederung (south of the Werder), where they adopted the respective local Low German dialect as their everyday language. [6]
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up a citation.
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today.

Giving due weight (and avoiding giving undue weight) means that articles should not give minority views or aspects as much of or as detailed a description as more widely held or supported aspects and views...(Talk:Bowling Green massacre)
Hi, first of all thanks very much for the time and effort you contribute to Wikipedia. You clearly want to improve the quality of the project and are here for the right reasons. Regarding your ongoing debate on the ___________________________talk page, I would ask you not to make any more replies to or to directly address the editor with whom you are having what appears to be a personal dispute. I realize that within your dispute there are article related points and it is necessary to debate in order to reach a consensus so some advice based on Wikipedia policy would be:
In summary, the way we behave on the talk page needs to be inclusive of all editors, focused on content and not on personal points or the people that make them. I have sent this advice, verbatim, to the other party involved in the debate and hope that the outcome will be that we are all able to have more fruitful discussions in the future. Thanks very much for your time and continued contributions. Happy editing!
I understand the frustration. I'm a technical numbskull so I can't help much in that regard but the important thing to remember is not to be put off or frustrated, or allow difficulties with others to overwhelm your passion for the encyclopedia. Too many valuable contributors have been driven off because of the frustration of being too deeply involved and protective of certain topics. It becomes too much to handle or at least it seems so. But it is very important not to let such behavior get in the way of editing here. Buster Seven Talk 13:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Why am I here? Why do I volunteer my time on this project?
This is a good answer to that. Wikipedia will never, ever, ever be perfect. But it is good, even great, and it is free as in freedom. That's good enough for me.
If that's not quite enough for you, consider this. In a little over a decade, a group of self-selected volunteers have constructed what is the greatest educational work ever developed by mankind. Millions have contributed and billions have learned and benefited. Please contribute here in good faith and to further that mission of education and learning.
Being misunderstood seriously impedes one's ability to engage in Wikipedia discussions. By expecting to be misunderstood, by knowing that the other editor will completely misunderstand what (or how) you are saying, care is taken to "perfect" what you say and how you say it. Ambiguous and quick responses are the usual culprits.
And...once the misunderstanding gains momentum, once the other editor begins to respond to what they think you said (or meant to say), it is hard if not impossible to stop. Therefore, it is important to be as clear and precise and descriptive as possible. Say it two ways, if necessary.
Three goals:(1)"make a clear and limited statement and (2) "make sure the statement is understood". and (3) "Win the Point".
Consider who you alienate and who you win over. Readers and other editors are destined to go shopping. You want them to shop in your store. You want to encourage loyalty to your brand. An in-control temperament and statement is a powerful tool of persuasion.
Resist macho chatter and arm-wrestling. Uphold basic social and universally-held norms. Tailor your message to the audience at hand. Should you concern yourself with who you might offend? Is that a part of our obligation as editors? Do you need to consider the other editors vantage point and POV in order not to alienate, and in so doing, perpetuating animus?
I have removed one or more external links you added to the main body of The Voice UK. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks.
The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. The names of any immediate, ex, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. Names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced.
When you post to talk pages or other discussion pages (but not articles) you should put four tildes (that is to say ~~~~) at the end of your post. The Wikimedia software will automatically convert that to a signature and date stamp, which as well as telling other editors who posted the message and when, will also contain a link to your talk page, which can be very useful for anyone wishing to contact you.

In general, the RfC process involves adding the template to a relevant talk page and asking a question. The RfC system automatically lists them, as per WP:RFC. In this case, maybe adding the {{rfc|proj}} to WT:EOTW, and adding to the template a neutral form of the question asked, would at least get the RfC started. It might also be possible to add a link to a subpage to the talk page for any sort of criticism of the award, preferably indicating a "noping" template is to be used to link to the name of the editor whose nomination is called into question. And, I suppose, if one thinks that there might be future serious questions regarding the process. to allow for discussion there. But the easiest and probably at least sufficient way to go right now might be to just add the rfc template to the EOTW talk page, with maybe a question something along the lines of "Do any editors have any significant questions regarding the way in which the EotW nominations and awards have been conducted in the past, or, alternately, any ideas which they think might improve the process in some way?" as the statement of the issue in question.

Harassment is extremely corrosive to the editing environment of Wikipedia. Administrators should be encouraged to step in with short blocks or other enforceable remedies as soon as they become aware of a possible pattern of harassment. The community supports them in these actions. Administrators who become aware of a pattern of harassment should monitor the situation and take action to ensure it does not continue of escalate.

A direct section link. When hovering over a section heading, the section sign § will appear. Clicking on § will jump to the section and the URL will update. You can then copy the URL fragment to simplify creation for a section link, or you can right click on the § and copy the entire URL. This feature can be disabled by adding a rule to your personal CSS:
.mw-headline-anchor {display: none;}
From closing comment at WP:SPA:
One forms opinions of fellow editors as a result of their actions. Diversified over time and subjects an editor grows and establishes an "M.O.". Working within a narrow range of articles, an editor may find it difficult to build credibility if in community discussions with the same editors, although extended improvement to a specific section of Wikipedia should not disadvantage an expert opinion. As with all Wikipedia articles, users need to cite the relevant verifiably published evidence from reliable sources to support their point of view. Inevitably, some experienced editors might not agree with cited interpretations during content discussions. Please do not be discouraged by such editors. The process is actually normal vetting and peer review which happens in every level of informed editorial research and discussion. Y your focus, even expertise, is best directed toward finding and citing independent reliable sources for the articles you edit.
Editing Wikipedia talk:Mass message senders
To User_________: First thing though; you need to add this template to the Talk page of each page you have contributed to with a financial connection and add a list of such pages on your user page. This is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use, [12] and not doing so may violate astroturfing laws (see here and here for more info).
Hello (User:________). The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of
conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on
neutral point of view and
what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a
black hat practice.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the
Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at
User:Buster7. The template {{
Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Buster7|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.
I'm saddened that you are choosing to further restrict your interactions with other editors this way. It was my intention to work with you some more on our areas of common interest such as the ___________ articles you've been editing lately. But of course it is your choice to choose not to. I'll just say here that I watch a lot of people's talkpages and chime in from time to time. That's a normal part of Wikipedia culture and even has a name - WP:Talk page stalker. But "stalker" in this case is tongue-in-cheek. Offering friendly advice, like I did for you regarding the WP:TALKO guideline, is not really stalking.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed. It also helps you to specifically locate edits you have made in the past (via View history or User contributions). So please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. ```

For multiple use of the same inline citation or footnote, you can use the
named references feature, choosing a name to identify the inline citation, and typing <ref name="name">text of the citation</ref>
. Thereafter, the same named reference may be reused any number of times by typing just <ref name="name" />
.
The text of the name
can be almost anything—apart from just numeric. If spaces are used in the text of the name
, the text must be placed within double quotes. To help with page maintenance it is recommended that the text of the name
has a connection to the inline citation or footnote, for example "author year page": <ref name="Smith 2005 p94">text of the citation</ref>
.

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.}}
![]() | For information on copy and pasting text, see Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources. |
Wikipedia's licensing requires that attribution be given to all users involved in creating and altering the content of a page. Wikipedia's
page history functionality lists all edits made to a page and all users who made these changes. It cannot, however, in itself determine where text originally came from. Because of this, copying content from another page within Wikipedia requires supplementary attribution to indicate it. At minimum, this means providing an
edit summary at the destination page – that is, the page into which the material is copied – stating that content was copied, together with a
link to the source (copied-from) page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. Content reusers should also consider leaving notes at the talk pages of both source and destination.

Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors From Jimbo's page, about 14 year olds:
Can we please do without the accusations of ulterior motives? Wikipedia is only as good as the state of human knowledge appearing in best available reliable sources, as compiled by us editors. When human knowledge or the sources reporting it are flawed, as they may or may not be here, there's not much an encyclopedia can do. If we were editing during the era when people still believed in alchemy we'd have a lot of articles about efforts to turn lead into gold because that was the state of knowledge at the time. It's up to the scientists, journalists, and historians to get their story straight, not the encyclopedia to jump out in front of them. If people who truly understand blackberries and computer security believe NYT, WSJ, FBI, etc., have it wrong, they need to take those complaints up somewhere else. Editor Wikidemon at Hilary Clintons article on July 14, 2016.
What does it do?
If the article is later expanded enough to have a toc, should the template be removed?
Buster Seven Talk 05:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Paragraphs should be short enough to be readable, but long enough to develop an idea. Overly long paragraphs should be split up, as long as the cousin paragraphs keep the idea in focus.
One-sentence paragraphs are unusually emphatic (Uttered with emphasis. Expressed or performed with emphasis: responded with an emphatic "no." 2. Forceful and definite in expression or action), and should be used sparingly (thrifty). Articles should rarely, if ever, consist solely of such paragraphs.
Some paragraphs are really tables or lists in disguise. They should be rewritten as prose or converted to their unmasked form. Wikipedia:When to use tables and Wikipedia:Embedded list offer guidance on the proper use of these elements.
Sections usually consist of paragraphs of running prose. Between paragraphs—as between sections—there should be a single blank line and the first line of each paragraph is not indented. Bullet points should be minimized in the body and lead of the article, if they are used at all; however, a bulleted list may be useful to break up what would otherwise be a large, grey mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort on the part of readers. However, bulleted lists are typical in the reference and reading sections towards the end of the article. Bullet points are usually not separated by blank lines.
The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since they can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, paragraphs that exceed a certain length become hard to read. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading; in such circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points.

I am a WP Wanderer. I am involved with the BP article because I saw you conversation w/ Slim Virgin regarding the Paid editor situation. I am also one of the original members of the WER project and its sub-project Editor of the Week. Your plight and the fact that it caused you to retire has been on my mind since. When an editor like you retires, WP and the community lose so much. Not just the work you do is missed but your attitude, your way of being, the congenial way you work with fellow editors. I'm not sure but I think you got involved with a 'ruff crowd' a bit too early in your WP career. The same thing happened to me. I was a rookie and I was doing battle with veterans at the Sara Palin page during the 2008 Election period. We were lucky. There was a group of editors that, while they obviously supported Palin, at least could be fair and relatively impartial. Looks like your experience at BP was different. It was just you and Gandydancer.
I wonder if you might consider renewing you enthusiasm for Wikipedia editing. It doesnt have to be at articles like BP or Chevron. That would be nice and you are more than welcome. A restructuring is taking place that you might find very intertesting. But, it can be in any one of a thousand ways. Your voice needs to be heard. Others will try to drown it out with their chatter and their divisiveness but your voice needs to be heard. I hope I am not to presumptuous in this request. As I said, your forced retirement bothered me. I support whatever you decide. ``` Buster Seven Talk 20:02, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
I wrote and improved articles and tried to help people. All the more so because I'd been entrusted with adminship. But it's reached a point where I'm being accused of harming the project, as well as of being dishonorable, and I was already questioning whether I should continue to volunteer here after what happened to the "best known for IP". As you see, I perceive dangerous problems with the project. If I stay, I would have to fight for it. But Wikipedia is not supposed to be a battleground, and it's apparent that my views are not shared by most. So instead, I'm leaving. I'd like to say I'll come back, but I doubt I would be welcomed given what I have finally said here. And I had already been facing the likelihood of leaving when WP:FLOW is instituted—incidentally, one of the few indications that there are few of us women editors is that there has not been a big reaction to that name, which to me as a woman (maybe of my time and place), says "The WMF wants to put us all on the rag" in big neon letters. That will fatally impair our ability to talk to each other. So ... I'm leaving earlier than I expected and it won't be "us" any longer when that happens. Goodbye. I loved this project

Consider becoming a positive participant and collaborator instead of a disruptive vandal. The challenge is to create, not deface. Your edits have no possible chance of remaining in the article...but they show potential. You have chosen "Entertainer" as your way of sharing yourself with the Wikipedia experience and, so, your contributions are rightfully deleted ASAP. Editors that choose "Educator" have a better chance of survival. It's completely up to you. Buster Seven Talk 13:11, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I am troubled by the behavior of some of the parties involved. The issue is mostly about bad behavior. The diffs show the less-than-ideal behavior on all sides. What concerned me the most was the tactics used by _________ to attack just about every single person who said anything against his behavior—and his behavior was often very bullying in tone and attitude. The tone I'm seeing has gotten very personal and gone well past the topics at hand. I respect the work that editors do to keep articles free of fringe.
Greetings. I have reverted your vandalism edit at the Chicago Cubs article. Vandals are subject warnings and to blocks of their abilities to edit. Why not see if you can improve an article you are interested in? You might just find that adding to the world's free online encyclopedia, instead of disrupting it, is much more rewarding.

Talk 00:32, 7 January 2016 (UTC)Community attempts to resolve disputes calmly and expeditiously are thwarted when the processes are disrupted by inflammatory accusations and disparaging rhetoric as editors seemingly pursue long term feuds with each other. Users with a history of bad blood should take appropriate steps, including disengagement, to reduce rather than increase negative interpersonal contact. Serious or serial feuding can lead to blocks, interaction bans or site bans to prevent the spread of disruption to the encyclopedia and the community.
" Hounding" is the singling out of one or more editors, and joining discussions on pages or topics they may edit or debates where they contribute, in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work, with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance or distress to the other editor.
An editor's contribution history is public, and there are various legitimate reasons for following an editor's contributions, such as for the purposes of recent changes patrol, WikiProject tagging, or for dispute resolution purposes. Under certain circumstances, these activities can easily be confused with hounding.
Editors should at all times remember to assume good faith before concluding that hounding is taking place, although editors following another editor's contributions should endeavour to be transparent and explain their actions wherever necessary in order to avoid mistaken assumptions being drawn as to their intentions.
Editors are human. They will sometimes make mistakes and suffer occasional lapses of judgment. However, editing in a collaborative project comes with the high expectation that they will do their utmost to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with others. Accordingly, inappropriate conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, trolling, harassment, disruptive point-making, and gaming the system, is prohibited, as is the use of the site to pursue feuds and quarrels.
Editors who repeatedly or seriously violate these basic standards of conduct may be sanctioned. Editors who have already been sanctioned may be sanctioned more harshly for repeated violations.
If you are incompetent, you don't know you are incompetent. The skills needed to produce a right answer to the question, "Are you stupid?" are exactly the skills needed to recognize what a right answer is. Asking, "Do you think I'm stupid?", is the wrong question to ask in order to prove intelligence. It pre-supposses that the asker already thinks the asker is stupid and that the answerer knows that the asker is thinking it. "The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others." [7]

As the teams returned to Washington for the deciding Game 5, the Cubs sent Kyle Hendricks to the mound while the Nationals chose Gio González. The Cubs scored in the first as Jon Jay led off the game with a double and scored on an Anthony Rizzo groundout. The Cubs then loaded the bases with two outs, but Jason Heyward grounded out to end the inning. C1N1 A great play by Javy to cut down Turner at the plate prevented the Nationals from tying the game in the bottom of the first. In the second inning, Daniel Murphy hit a solo homer and Michael Turner hit a three-run shotr to put the Nationals up C1N4. González continued to struggle in the third as Kris Bryant doubled and Willson Contreras and Albert Almora Jr. walked to the load the bases. Addison Russell drove in his first run of the night on a groundout and Contreras scored on a wild pitch to narrow the lead to C3N4. Heyward would again end the threat by striking out on an outside pitch that would have been ball four. The Nationals went to the pen in the fourth, bringing in M. Albers and in the fifth brought in starter Max Scherzer in relief. [1] After Bryant and Rizzo were retired by Scherzer, Contreras gets an infield single and Zoebist singles to center. Russell hits a two run double down the third base line scoring Willy and Zoe. C5N4 An intentional walk to Heyward (hitting .162 in the post-season), a passed ball strikeout to (Baez) with Nats catcher Weiters committing an error, throwing the ball past first into right field allowing Russell to score, a catchers interference call on Weiters while pinch hitter Tommy La Stella (for Hendricks) at bat loads the bases, followed by Scherzer hitting John Jay in the knee with a pitch allowing Heyward to cross the plate. Cubs lead is now C7N4. In the bottom of the 5th Duensing starts the inning with a walk to Daniel Murphy and then Rendon and Weiters are outs. Pedro Strop comes in to strike out Taylor.C7N4
The Cubs added to their lead in the top of the sixth against "Kinzler". With two out, Russell "doubled" in Ben Zobrist (who had walked and was running with two outs) on a relatively easy fly ball that was badly misplayed by left fielder Jayson Werth. C8N4. In the sixth, Strop gets the first two outs but then walks Werth. Mike Montgomery now pitching. Harper doubles, Werth going to third. Zimmerman walks and the base are loaded. The Nationals scored on a wild pitch by Mike Montgomery scoring Werth and a double by Daniel Murphy scores Harper. Leading C8N6 in the seventh, the Cubs added a run when Kyle Schwarber, pinch hitting for Montgomery, hits a line drive single off reliever Sammy Solis that dents the outfield cushion and just misses going out. Jay singles to center with Schwarber going to third. He scores on a groundout by Kris Bryant. C9N6 In the bottom of the seventh inning relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. walked Taylor on 5 pitches and was replaced by Jose Quintana (in his first career relief appearance). who got Lobeton to fly out to RF for the first out. Turner singled to RF, Taylor going to 2nd. Werth walked, loading the bases. A sacrifice fly by Harper scored Taylor from third, narrowed the lead to C9N7. [2] Wade Davis came in "in relief" and struck out Ryan Zimmerman to end the seventh inning. In the bottom of the eighth, Davis gave up a run-scoring single by Michael Taylor to bring the lead to one at C9N8. Following a single by José Lobatón to put runners on first and second with two outs, Contreras picked Lobatón off of first, ending the inning. [3] In the ninth, Davis set the Nationals down in order, striking out Werth and getting Harper to swing at ball four, end the game and win the series for the Cubs. [4] [5]
Pat Hughes, on Cubs radio 670 The Score WSCR, made the following historic call for the final out of the game:
“ | A little bouncer, slowly towards Bryant. He will glove it and throw to Rizzo - it's in time! And the Chicago Cubs win the World Series! The Cubs come pouring out of the dugout, jumping up and down like a bunch of delirious 10-year-olds. The Cubs have done it! The longest drought in the history of American sports is over, and the celebration begins! | ” |
After the game and series, Hughes would routinely mention, due to the fact there was no radio or television in 1908 (the last time the Cubs won the World Series), his call was the first time in broadcast history which someone said the Cubs had won the world series. [6]

This is a painful, uncomfortable moment. Instead of trying to get past this moment, we should sit with it, wrap ourselves in the sorrow, distress and humiliation of it. We need to sit with the discomfort of the president of the United States referring to several countries as “shitholes” during a meeting (in the Oval Office of the White House), a meeting that continued after his comments. No one is coming to save us. Before we can figure out how to save ourselves from this travesty, we need to sit with that, too.
In the first quarter of 2017, the real US GDP increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent, the slowest growth since the first quarter of 2014. The growth was primarily due to an increase in business structures and equipment (such as mining and wells), industrial supplies and materials (such as petroleum), and services. This was offset by decreases in motor vehicles and parts, private inventory investment, and government spending. [1] On 31 March 2017, the U.S. national debt stood at $19.8 trillion [2] representing a quarterly decline of 0.65%. [3]
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Bahá'u'lláh, founder of Baháʼí Faith, a religion that developed in Persia, having roots in Islam, [4] urged the elimination of religious intolerance. He taught that God is one, and religion has been progressively revealed over time through Manifestations of God, the founders of religion. Bahá'u'lláh taught that Baháʼís must associate with peoples of all religions, whether this is reciprocated or not.
Baháʼís refer to this concept as Progressive revelation, meaning that each religion brings a more advanced understanding of divinity and updated social laws as mankind matures. In this view, God's word is revealed through a series of messengers: Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Báb and Bahá'u'lláh (the founder of the Baháʼí Faith) among them. According to Baháʼí writings, there will not be another messenger for many hundreds of years.[ citation needed]. There is also a respect for the religious traditions of the native peoples of the planet who may have little other than oral traditions as a record of their religious figures.

The list of prominent people who have publicly defied President Trump — including onetime allies — keeps growing. Consider what has happened in just the past few weeks:
Maybe a dozen years ago my wife and I ran a semi-successful resale shop in the Rogers park neighborhood of Chicago. I say semi-successful because while we always paid the rent, we never made any real money. When we started our little venture into "being our own bosses" the rent was a reasonable $300 a month. 7 years and two landlord changes later and the rent had more than doubled to $900. Luckily we had other "real" jobs that paid for our extravagant lifestyle :~). The store was located on a busy corner just east of the Jarvis L and had a nice big patio out front. I made it my practice to daily set up rooms and displays outside for customers and passers-by to peruse our goods. One day a kitchen, the next a dining room, followed by a bedroom. The stuff was all piled into the aisles of the store each night only to be moved back outside the next day. We opened late in the day and stayed open into the evening. Hard work, sure, but we had a great time. We had an article written about the store in The Reader, which talked about my transition from t-shirt worker to collared shirt w/ a pocket worker. Regulars would stop by on their way home, friends would stop in to visit, and we would sit outside among the merchandise to act as magnets for shoppers. We renamed the street to Jarvis Square just to add a bit of English class to the place. Early on, I painted our Marquee with the address "1447 Jarvis Square". After our opening success we started to conduct 2 day (I think it was a Sat/Sun event but I have to ask Cathy) Flea Markets and advertised "in beautiful DownTown Jarvis Square" on the patio and the city berms up and down Jarvis and Greenview. I think we had about six events over the life of the store. We usually had 25 or so independent vendors. They, like us, would set up early and stay late. The Flea Markets were a BIG hit. People came throughout the day, meeting neighbors and old friends they hadn't seen in a while. With the EL close by riders could see the event and drop in to shop. It was a big party and I wore a top hat so I could be found easily. We collected a small nominal fee for advertising and minimal expenses. No permits or permission... and no problems that I can recall. I think we would do it again in a heart beat if any ever asked us to. But no one ever has which I find very surprising. Before we opened, the building was a bit of an eyesore. The space we rented had been vacant for many years with only occasional use by the local alderman as a campaign office. The other storefronts were either empty or were office type businesses with no street presence. Don Selle's Coffee Shoppe was a local institution and hangout and did good business. I have to think long and hard about who was in the other dozen or so spots. By the time we left, the new owners had renovated rather than tear down and we had been an important fixture in the renovation and reawakening of the whole little business district. Others played their part and spent gobs of money, but without our impetus, their vision would never have been realized. Jarvis Liquors going out of business also had a big affect on the changes.
