• My nickname is a Cyrillic projection of a Greek: Βικιδημος portmanteau, something along the lines of Greek: Νικόδημος ("victorious people", cf. Nicodemus). It is intended to mean "[of] wikipeople". If you have hard time finding Cyrillics on your keyboard, feel free to address me as Wikidemus.
• I have been writing articles for Wikipedia in multiple languages since either 2005 or 2006, starting too long ago to pinpoint an exact date, and switched mostly to Russian in 2007. Historically I have used multiple accounts, originally to separate my contributions by languages ^[1] and later by subjects. These were and are used strictly within WP:SOCKLEGIT, with no restrictions applied ever to any one of them, except for this account (and even in this case never even remotely related to the article content). I am currently under no restrictions anywhere in the Wikimedia projects. In an unlikely case a legitimate question will arise, I have no problem discussing my alternate accounts with the local powers that be.

• The editing of Wikipedia in Russian became tiresome for me in 2021 due to an extensive off-wiki coordination of a few colleagues who effectively changed the conflict resolution process very much not to my liking. ^[2] "Fighting" is not my middle name here, ^[3] so after some attempts to establish a modus vivendi with the highly cohesive group, I have decided to take a well-deserved indefinite-length wiki-sabbatical at Russian Wikipedia and switched back to other languages, primarily to enwiki, ^[4] guided by " this too shall pass" principle. As an illustration of the truly Orwellian level of discourse in the modern Russian Wikipedia: ^[5]
  • The Arbitration Committee of Russian Wikipedia (then - and now - totally controlled by the faction) literally prohibited mentioning in discussions of the membership in the off-wiki chat used for the group's coordination: Decision in AK:1189, see item 7.
  • In practice, this decision is used to prohibit the mentions of the very existence of this chat. For example, in February 2023 I was blocked for literally just using the term "unmentionable group" ( Russian: неназываемой группы) on a discussion page, where my whole message was on the subject of "we can all get along if we stop coercing the editors into making the purely political statements". For the curious ones that want to dive into the depth of the Russian soul, the message from the blocking sysop is here, it points as a reason to my original (IMHO, extremely mild) post here

• Asch Grossbardt «Sophisticated color combinations have been a signature design element», etc., but its provenance is unclear). Lawrence (Larry) Asch / Jerome (Jerry) Grossbardt (1923—2012). Before founding Ash Grossbardt Ltd., Jerome Grossbardt and Stanley Schechter co-founded Honora Pearls company. Incorporated in 1947, the company was named after Jerome’s wife, Honora. Jerome’s son, Eric, joined the business in 1986 and became the sole owner of Asch Grossbardt Inc., after the death of his father in 2012. Obits: [64], [65]. In May of 2001. Eric Grossbardt became the sole owner of Asch/Grossbardt Inc. when the cofounder, Larry Asch retired after more than 50 years in the jewelry industry. ( [66]) Obviously not enough. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

Score: [86], recording: [87]
• I Didn't Like It the First Time - even more amazing dearth of sources. [88] (food as metaphor common to Julia Lee), some think the "spinach" is a reefer ( [89], [90], [91]), although the lyrics clearly suggests sex ( [92], [93] and [94] agree), double entendre ( [95], even triple [96], p. 37: "I Didn't Like It The First Time" a.k.a. "The Spinach Song" can be considered a rare example of triple entendre, since spinach conveyed a reference to opium as well as sex )
