I really have no idea what's going on there, Bish. If it looks like I'm advocating a bad idea somehow, I'm not. I know I'm not, because I'm not advocating anything. I was just commenting on the more general case of "he was blocked by one admin, now you need consensus to unblock", which drives me up a wall. But it looks like that isn't actually the case. Whatever it is, it looks like this is a typical ANI circus? And as usual Regents Park showed clue of some kind, and is getting yelled at for it? Haven't looked at ANI for (goes to check userpage) 16 days. But I'm really sorry it's got you stressed out.

Well, it is clear that Wyattmj and 91.183.53.247 are one party, which edit warred against three regulars (Drbogdan, Ushau97 and myself) and 78.50.199.189. With all their loud words, Wyattmj never provided sources for their fringe ideas, and when directly asked to stop and show the sources (by a fourth editor, 4twenty42o, on talk:Copernican principle), simply went on with reverts.

That IP was an IPv6 and just as much a vandalism-only account as they would have been using the IPs that you're already familiar with. As long as you're not considering a range block, you can treat them just like their shorter cousins.

My dearest, and very dearest Mrs Bishonen, I am quite overcome by your writing an article on my most favourite BP (best poet). I had no idea you were planing such a tribute to my service to Wikipedia and years of selfless devotion to the world of culture, art, beauty and refinement. By celebrating these little known poets we open up and share a world of enlightenment to the little people - whose lives are so base and shallow. Of course; it's not quite as I (a true expert) would have written it, but for a first attempt at a page; it shows great promise. Very well done.

there doesn't need to be discussion to place tags, and most don't even require posting on the talk page about it, so that is just pure nonsense. it also looks like a borderline personal attack on urban to me.

Turning to you, since you always appear so helpful and wise. Could you possibly help me out by deleting my contributions to this page. They were minimal, and I rolled them all back almost immediately.
When I saw it among old AFCs, I thought "WTF? Surely he is notable by now. Another bad AFC review." But as I moved it and started working on it, I realized that this had all the potential to turn into some kind of BLP nightmare with vandalism inserted for a dozen different reasons (including, quite possibly, vandalism performed as artistic experimentation).

Although, you had declined page protection but please see [8] history again the sections like --Allegation of fraud--- the main reason why his controversial telecasts were stopped and cases are pending in Supreme and other courts are repeatedly removed. Further, I doubt if the page protection will suffice as I note that Single Purpose accounts like Daniel w2, Jk2689, Bj28193, Luro28 are created to keep the vandalism alive.

Hi Ms. 'Shonen. I noticed that you and the little one with sharp teeth were testing a few things.

I also noticed that Floq and User:Writ Keeper have been talking, so WK is putting a lot of effort into helping others implement the solution as well as tweaking the interface. I noticed a few of the kids playing with this " new notification system", which I actually did get a chuckle out of even if I pretended to be a grumpy "get off my lawn" guy in front of them. Actually there are a few things I do like about the little red dot - not only does it ping you if someone mentions you by linking to your username .. but it also just told me about the tightrope revert. (and of course I don't mind - Jimbo is big boy, so if he has an issue with my comment then I'll offer any explination or apology if I ever have to cross that bridge.) And while I'm at it .. I'm sorry, but I have to mention my guiding spirit User:Huntster just once with this new system. (I know, bad as the kids huh? ... but he always takes things in stride). Anyway - just thought I let you know about the script in case you hadn't seen it in your travels. Cheers and best to the family ...

I would like to correct an inaccuracy on Julian Assange - the source doesn't state that he is living on a diet of pizza and takeaway food. It states that he has received takeaway food, which isn't the same thing. If I receive a takeaway pizza now and then it doesn't mean that I live on a diet of takeaway pizza. the source also states that he has a microwave and a kitchenette, and that his mother says that he is eating well..

"A walrus," said Mr. Dooley, "is an animal something like a hor-rse, but more like a balloon. It doesn't walk, swim, or fly. It rowls whin pur-suin' its prey. It whirls 'round an' 'round at a speed akel to a railroad injine, meltin' th' ice in a groove behind it. Tame walruses are used be th' Eskeemyoos, th' old settlers iv thim parts, as lawnmowers an' to press their clothes. Th' wild walrus is a mos' vicious animal, which feeds on snowballs through th' day, an' thin goes out iv nights afther artic explorers, which for-rms its principal diet. Theyse a gr-reat demand among walruses f'r artic explorers, Swedes preferred; an' on account iv th' scarcity iv this food it isn't more than wanst in twinty years that th' walrus gets a square meal. Thin he devours his victim, clothes, collar-buttons, an' all."
"Well, well," said Mr. Hennessy. "I had no idee they was that ferocious. I thought they were like bur-rds. Don't they lay eggs?"
"Don't they lay eggs?" Mr. Dooley replied. "Don't they lay eggs? Did ye iver hear th' like iv that, Jawn? Why, ye gaby, ye might as well ask me does a pianny lay eggs. Iv coorse not."
"I'd like to know what the objict of these here arctic explorations is," interposed Mr. McKenna, in the interests of peace.
"Th' principal objict is to get rid iv an over-supply iv foolish people," said Mr. Dooley. "In this counthry, whin a man begins f'r to see sthrange things, an' hitch up cockroaches, an' think he's Vanderbilt dhrivin' a four-in-hand, we sind him to what me ol' frind Sleepy Burk calls th' brain college. But in Norway an' Sweden they sind him to th' North Pole, an' feed him to th' polar bears an' th' walruses. A man that scorches on a bicycle or wears a pink shirt or is caught thryin' to fry out a stick iv dinnymite in a kitchen stove is given a boat an' sint off to play with Flora an' Fauna in th' frozen North."
"That's what I'd like to know," said Mr. Hennessy. "Who ar-re these Flora an' Fauna? I see be th' pa-aper that Doc Nansen stopped at Nootchinchoot Islands, an' saw Flora an' Fauna; an' thin, comin' back on th' ice, he encountherd thim again."
"I suppose," said Mr. Dooley, "ye think Flora an' Fauna is two little Eskeemy girls at skip-rope an' 'London bridge is fallin' down' on th' icebergs an' glaziers. It's a pretty idee ye have iv th' life in thim parts. Little Flora an' little Fauna playin' stoop-tag aroun' a whale or rushin' th' can f'r their poor tired father just home fr'm th' rollin'-mills, where he's been makin' snowballs f'r th' export thrade, or engagin' in some other spoort iv childhood! Go wan with ye!"
"But who are they, annyhow?"
"I make it a rule in me life not to discuss anny woman's charac-ter," replied Mr. Dooley, sternly. "If Doc Nansen was off there skylarkin' with Flora an' Fauna, it's his own business, an' I make no inquiries. A lady's a lady, be she iver so humble; an', as Shakespeare says, cursed be th' man that'd raise an ax to her, save in th' way iv a joke. We'll talk no scandal in this house, Hinnissy."
But, after his friend had gone, Mr. Dooley leaned over confidentially, and whispered to Mr. McKenna, "But who are Flora an' Fauna, Jawn?"
"I don't know," said Mr. McKenna.
"It sounds mighty suspicious, annyhow," said the philosopher. "I hope th' doc'll be able to square it with his wife."

Hope everything is OK with you and your life? I would like to ask of you to review the sources on the Emmelie de Forest article concerning the royal ancestry claims and the "controversy" surrounding it. In the Media attention about claim of royal ancestors section and also accusations made against her dead father at the Personal life section. I am personally doubtful that it needs to be mentioned in an almost accusive tone towards this young singer, and also being mentioned in the same tone against the singers dead father. I am asking you this as I think this is the last opportunity to do anything about it if needed before she very possbily wins the Eurovision final tomorrow night. I might be completely wrong and everything about the claims about royal ancestry is a complete fake and a scam like it seems the article wants to give the impression, but if not I rather have it removed or down-sized further for Wikipedia crediblity reasons. In my opinion the entire section reads like a scandal article in The Sun newspaper. Anyhow, if you find the time please review it as I have seen your earlier good decision making concerning similar situations such as the Yohio article.

I'm a bit confused about how own userpage protection works. You say you cannot protect my userpage because it has never been edited by anyone other than myself, which is of course true. I have read the policy regarding protecting pages within own userspace and it demands evidence of vandalism by anon. users or other good reasons for protection (none of what, I admit, is present in my userpage's case). However, this user page was protected by User:Mike V when the page had been edited only by two other users (one of them was bot) except the author, and none of their edits were unconstructive in any manner (all before the page was recently moved as a result of a rename from User:Pratyya Ghosh to User:Pratyya). No specific reason was provided by the protecting administrator. Is it true that the page got protected merely because someone other than the author himself had ever edited the page? Did it not violate the policy regarding protection of own userpages? smtchahal talk 13:42, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
"if there is evidence of vandalism/disruption or other good reason to do so", so I don't know what that was about. I'm afraid you'll have to ask Mike; it's possible that he simply made a mistake, admins being human and all. What I told you on the WP:RFPP page is standard, in fact I noticed after I'd replied that I could even have used a template for saying that pages are not protected pre-emptively: {{RFPP|np}}. As for your question if it makes a difference that somebody other than the author had edited the page: no, it wouldn't. Semiprotection only (basically) works against IPs, anyway. Are you worried about your userpage? Is there anything I can do to help? I'll add it to my watchlist if you like. Bishonen | talk 14:10, 19 May 2013 (UTC).

My favorite legal-decision of the week, cited in the New York Times Sunday Magazine:
Some might look at the silky wording of IP Nav's letter to Renaissance and see a close question; this court, however, sees an unmistakable and intentional warning shot across the bow. The actual message is pellucid to any patent litigator, so that IP Nav's use of apophasis is disingenuous and unavailing. Remember Mark Antony's funeral oration in Julius Caesar? That's how an experienced business executive or lawyer would view IP Nav's assertions that "we are focused on addressing these issues without the need for costly and protracted litigation" and "our client's preferred approach is to conclude licensing discussions without resorting to litigation. We hope you share this objective." The implied "or else!" oozes from this letter like lye from lutefisk. To paraphrase an observation attributed to Anton Chekhov, you don't hang a gun over the mantle in Act I unless someone is going to fire it in Act III.

Hi my dear friend.
Could you please make me understood of this text. would you mind to paraphrase that. thanks a million. please use positive verb in the last sentence. << The study indicated that greater boredom in year seven predicted significantly less satisfaction at year 16. In addition, greater satisfaction in year seven did not significantly predict less boredom in year 16. >> Alborzagros ( talk) 12:45, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
"The study showed that the participants who were bored in year seven were significantly less likely than the other participants to be satisfied with their marriage in year 16. It also showed that if participants were satisfied in year seven, it didn't make any difference to how bored they felt in year 16."Does that make sense? I don't blame you for having trouble with it. They've put two sentences about two different results together in one paragraph, and the second result is even a bit of a surprise in relation to the first. But the key, I suppose, is that the researchers have treated dissatisfaction and boredom as completely different things. Bishonen | talk 16:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC).

What do you make of the Talk:Croton Aqueduct situation? Curb Chain and the Deutsche Telecom IP(s) were adamant about being two different persons in the discussion there; one of IPs even notified Curb Chain on his talk page [32]. WP:SPI will probably refuse to connect them because the disruption wasn't extraordinary. But the coincidences in their other editing interests: at BRIC [33] (a recurring editing interest of Curb Chain, who edited it around that time too [34]) and also flags in general [35] [36] (a more minor interest of Curb Chain) are weird. There are a bunch of other people who agree with Curb Chain on the spacing issue, so maybe it is someone else despite these other coincidences... What do you think? (This is also an ongoing issue: the IPs keep doing that, the most recent edit of that kind from the that Deutsche Telecom range was yesterday [37]. It has also been going on for a long time [38] [39] [40] [41]. An ideal use of a dynamic IP, especially one from a huge range, is apparently enforcing one's aesthetic standards on random articles, without contributing anything more substantial to them...

I want to make you aware of that IP 87.232.1.48 and I had a dispute before the IP was blocked three months ago. The first thing the IP now is doing is following my edits around apparently. I will assume good faith but I have no interest in engaging with the IP further as he brings up my bad sides. I dont know how to handle this without being "the bad user that attacks the IP". In the last few hours the IP has edited Miss World Sweden, the Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret article and the film articles AfD and Yohios talk page. Especially the edit/revert on Miss World Sweden seems to have been made only to try to get some sort of reaction from me. And I know that all IPs and users are entitled to edit any article they like, but I feel that doing edits to simply possibly provoke a reaction is unecessary and on verge of Wikihounding. I could be wrong but I have this distinct feeling as the user has except for one edit only edited articles that I have edited within a short period of time before the user returned, and it was exactly unfortunatly what I expected would happen. All I want now is for the IP and myself to move on and try to be productive only, right now I feel the IP is heading towards wanting a new edit-war for some reason.

Per WP:3RR, administrators can block for less than 3 reverts in a 24 hour period, and that seems reasonable given that the user in question had previously been blocked twice for edit warring. Also, per WP:TOOLMISUSE, there's not an obvious reason why consultation was not sought before the unblock. I think you owe User:Bbb23 an apology for that unblock without consultation, even though it does seem you were looking for a strict 3RR violation, which needn't have existed in the first place to prompt a block.

TO BISHONEN FROM MEDIA PIONEER: The living person referenced in Joshua DuBois fluff biased posting has clearly implied that he has a degree in theology or divinity from a reputable university (such as Princeton). R U disagreeing that Princeton is not "reputable"? So a statement about what this person has "Not" done by failing to having any education or degree in theology, divinity Bible History, Bible Archaeology, Hebrew or Koinea Greek (which are all basic minimum studies required to be a reputable minister or rabbi)is paramount to demonstrating to the readers of Wiki that this living person has educational qualifications commensurate with a politician but not of a minister. If you are an atheist that may demonstrate why you give so little credence to a proper degree in ones occupation. Finally, the exact QUOTE which was fully and properly reference about this persons "Tweet" had been published for quiet a while and demonstrates the tone and motives of the living person and his politically correct agenda, which if you would study the subject is NOT a part of his African Methodist-Episcopal background. Nor is it of his late father.

With regard to your revision of Attack (political party) you have unsufficient grounds to prove this party far-right. I wonder where do you come from and what expertise do you have in political sciences and Bulgarian political life? I recommend that you better assess Attack´s political behavior rather than what is said and declared by them. A party calling for nationalization and entering under-table coalition with a minority party cannot be called far-right and there is not such an example in the political life of Europe nor in the world. If "Attack itself claims not to fit on the left-right scale" you should at least remove the "far right" behind ultra-nationalist and leave it as a point of discussion. I understand that there is a number of violations against the page but you cannot put reasonable comments and ammendments on side because of this.

Help, help, Famously Technical seems to be on holiday! I tried to move the article about the book Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) to the correct book title. Only the first part was italicized, and the parenthtesis not, as if it had been an article name of the type Amsterdam (novel). But I only made it worse; I guess plain old wikicode such as '' doesn't work for article names. (I think it does when I create articles, but not in moves, apparently.) Somebody fix, please?? Bishonen | talk 18:25, 28 June 2013 (UTC).
If you look at the articles about other famous books, you'll see that the italics effect is achieved with DISPLAYTITLE, e.g. {{DISPLAYTITLE:''Principia Mathematica''}}. Could you move Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) back to its original location please? Thanks in advance, MartinPoulter ( talk) 18:32, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Hiya Bish....I gotta stop editing an article (which is essentially done anyway) and if you read what I already wrote here you might understand why...but its a somber issue for me right now...if you feel like fixing my usual sentence structure issues, feel free.-- MONGO 00:49, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Bishonen, I saw your comment at the AN and didn't want to respond there. TP has convinced me that I've said far too much already. Boy, is that an understatement! Haha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I was very hurt by your comments because before I read them I thought you were an absolute sweetheart and a wonderful admin. I can't remember exactly where I came across you, but I clearly remembered you as soon as I saw your name. I even saved your talk page and have a note that says, "Wondeful admin, so nice, very helpful!" Anyway, if you support sanctions against me that's fine, I would understand that. But the mocking tone of your comment and the fact that it alluded to my wife and kids was hard to read coming from someone as nice as you. Honestly, it shocked me when I saw it was you who wrote it. (I expect it from some of the others.) And just so you know, my wife didn't tell me to continue editing, she and my kids urged me to respond to the allegations. But regardless of what happens, I will not be editing once it's over, which I'm sure will be better for everyone involved. Anyway, your comments probably hurt me more than anyone else's because of the great amount of respect I always had for you. Have a good week. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 03:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Hej Bishonen!
ArbCom wrote new rules of evidence for my arbitration case.
The history of the evidence page contains a small selection of remarks by the other "party" at IRC. All of the quotations concerning gender-related violence have been removed by Risker.
It would be useful to list other examples of mistreatment of women on Wikipedia, even using these rules of evidence. I thought that I had once removed something nasty Rod had written about you, but I could not find it in his talk-page history.

Bishonen may be a little tired from exerting that power, so let me expand on how to revert edits. Go to Mirko Filipović. Hold down the Ctrl key (assuming Windows) and click "history". On many browsers, that will open the history page in a new tab. Each row shows two radio buttons (empty circles that can be selected). On the oldest date believed to be good, click the first radio button. On the most-recent date (the one at the top of the list), click the second radio button (it's already selected by default). Click the "Compare selected revisions" button above the list. If the diff shows that all the edits are bad, click "undo" at the top right. Enter an edit summary and click Save (or "Save page"). If more wanted, the folks at WP:HELPDESK are good at providing help. Johnuniq ( talk) 10:49, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Hej, I'm back (with Wikipedia on the back burner, though, for now at least), mainly because of the kind words from you and Shirt58 on my talk page. I noticed that you've run into a notorious editor from St Petersburg, Russia, who has been edit warring on Spanish Civil War (which is on my watchlist) since some time last year, using several different IPs, including what seems to be open proxies, to reinsert a systemic bias tag against consensus (if you look at the page history of the article you'll see that I have been reverting him ever since he started his war, getting him blocked on several occasions, under a number of different IPs), so semi-protecting the article is the only thing that stops him, and was the right thing to do. So thanks for doing it. Hälsningar, Thomas.W talk to me 13:19, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
The Russian vandal has swiftly returned as Special:Contributions/78.25.121.197, so far staying away from Spanish Civil War but revealing his identity by reverting you on Pamela, as his first edit (which I noticed in his contributions when I cautioned him for unsourced edits on other articles).

"Might I suggest a different theme entirely? A space adventure seems less appealing to an a wider range of users as it feels too much like a game. I understand the concept of making the learning of how to use wikipedia fun but it should be more practical. Since the subject matter is to do with information, articles, authors, editors, and the like, it might make sense if the theme of the game were more like a library instead of a galaxy. One might say a library isn't fun, but people who come to wikipedia wanting to contribute are less interested in having fun and more interested in learning."[66] Second that.

Hi Bish, just saw your renewed block of 91.155.236.125 ( talk · contribs · 91.155.236.125 WHOIS), but I'm not quite sure I understand the rationale. Just curious. He was last blocked for a month on 2 July, and indeed that block expired today, but I can't see him editing after that.

Since SA has blanked his talk page, I will respond to you here. At least one of the people who supported an unblock said he should avoid fringe science topics. Others talked about him returning with restrictions, but did not specify what kind of restrictions. Many others left little to no indication as to whether they supported him returning to the fringe science topic area. We can't say for certain how a vote on the topic ban would break down as a result. It could be that a sufficient number of editors support the topic ban to prevent a consensus from forming on it, which would mean it stays.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 16:39, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
I had already left a link to the disputed section in my talk page at the page of the Admin (Kim) who had given me a topic ban. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kim_Dent-Brown#Request_2 . I clearly indicated in my message to Kim that i will follow his advice in this matter. Further, i had written on my talk page a note (which you have now removed) where i clearly said that i have left a link to the disputed section on the talk page of the Admin who had imposed a topic ban on me (i.e. Kim) and as a show of good faith will be following his advice in this matter. I do not consider you a neutral Admin in this matter since you recently voted against me in the recent ANI discussion. I would like you to stay away from me and let a more neutral Admin (like Kim) take a decision about me. Lastly, i was not the one who reverted your edits on my talk page through an IP after which you seem to have placed some kind of restrictions on my talk page. In my opinion your actions on my talk page are an abuse of your Admin powers. I would like to know what recourse i have to have your Admin action reviewed by a higher authority since i want your activities on my talk page to be scrutinized to see if you have been abusing your Admin powers and unnecessarily bullying me.

Wait a minute. Personal attacks??? Unregistered contributor deletes information without discussion, accusing me of commercial promotion and posing threats. What do you call that? Is that a normal behavior? Please, take a look at the correspondence. The article was never written in a way to promote commercial activities nor had intentions for it. The purpose of the links was temporary until more solid and resourceful sources of information would be provided. Some of the links that did not even had any pricing listed were deleted away. The article is intended to provided information on a local sports and tourism infrastructure and explain disambiguation between town municipality and sports administration in the area, due to the fact that Vorokhta is being categorized as a resort which is technically erroneous.

I really have no idea what's going on there, Bish. If it looks like I'm advocating a bad idea somehow, I'm not. I know I'm not, because I'm not advocating anything. I was just commenting on the more general case of "he was blocked by one admin, now you need consensus to unblock", which drives me up a wall. But it looks like that isn't actually the case. Whatever it is, it looks like this is a typical ANI circus? And as usual Regents Park showed clue of some kind, and is getting yelled at for it?

That IP was an IPv6 and just as much a vandalism-only account as they would have been using the IPs that you're already familiar with. As long as you're not considering a range block, you can treat them just like their shorter cousins.

ON NANSEN.
"I see," said Mr. Dooley, "that Doc Nansen has come back."
"Yes," said Mr. McKenna. "It's a wonder he wouldn't stay till winter. If I was setting on an iceberg in latitude umpty-ump north of Evanston these days, they couldn't pry me off it with a crowbar. Not they."
"He had to come back," explained Mr. Hennessy. "He got as far as he cud, an' thin he was foorced be th' inclimincy iv th' weather to return to his home in Feechoold, Norway."
"To where?" Mr. Dooley asked contemptuously.
"To Foocheeld, Norway," said Mr. Hennessy, with some misgivings.
"Ye don't know what ye're talkin' about," retorted the philosopher. "Ye ought to go back to school an' study gee-ography. Th' place he come back to was Oostoc, Norway, between Coopenhaagen an'--an' Rogers Park."
"Maybe ye're right," said Mr. Hennessy. "Annyhow, he come back, chased be a polar bear. It must iv been a thrillin' experience, leppin' fr'm iceberg to iceberg, with a polar bear grabbin' at th' seat iv his pants, an' now an' thin a walrus swoopin' down fr'm a three an' munchin' his hat."
"What ta-alk have ye?" Mr. Dooley demanded. "A walrus don't fly, foolish man!"
"What does he do, thin?" asked Mr. Hennessy. "Go 'round on crutches?"
"A walrus," said Mr. Dooley, "is an animal something like a hor-rse, but more like a balloon. It doesn't walk, swim, or fly. It rowls whin pur-suin' its prey. It whirls 'round an' 'round at a speed akel to a railroad injine, meltin' th' ice in a groove behind it. Tame walruses are used be th' Eskeemyoos, th' old settlers iv thim parts, as lawnmowers an' to press their clothes. Th' wild walrus is a mos' vicious animal, which feeds on snowballs through th' day, an' thin goes out iv nights afther artic explorers, which for-rms its principal diet. Theyse a gr-reat demand among walruses f'r artic explorers, Swedes preferred; an' on account iv th' scarcity iv this food it isn't more than wanst in twinty years that th' walrus gets a square meal. Thin he devours his victim, clothes, collar-buttons, an' all."
"Well, well," said Mr. Hennessy. "I had no idee they was that ferocious. I thought they were like bur-rds. Don't they lay eggs?"
"Don't they lay eggs?" Mr. Dooley replied. "Don't they lay eggs? Did ye iver hear th' like iv that, Jawn? Why, ye gaby, ye might as well ask me does a pianny lay eggs. Iv coorse not."
"I'd like to know what the objict of these here arctic explorations is," interposed Mr. McKenna, in the interests of peace.
"Th' principal objict is to get rid iv an over-supply iv foolish people," said Mr. Dooley. "In this counthry, whin a man begins f'r to see sthrange things, an' hitch up cockroaches, an' think he's Vanderbilt dhrivin' a four-in-hand, we sind him to what me ol' frind Sleepy Burk calls th' brain college. But in Norway an' Sweden they sind him to th' North Pole, an' feed him to th' polar bears an' th' walruses. A man that scorches on a bicycle or wears a pink shirt or is caught thryin' to fry out a stick iv dinnymite in a kitchen stove is given a boat an' sint off to play with Flora an' Fauna in th' frozen North."
"That's what I'd like to know," said Mr. Hennessy. "Who ar-re these Flora an' Fauna? I see be th' pa-aper that Doc Nansen stopped at Nootchinchoot Islands, an' saw Flora an' Fauna; an' thin, comin' back on th' ice, he encountherd thim again."
"I suppose," said Mr. Dooley, "ye think Flora an' Fauna is two little Eskeemy girls at skip-rope an' 'London bridge is fallin' down' on th' icebergs an' glaziers. It's a pretty idee ye have iv th' life in thim parts. Little Flora an' little Fauna playin' stoop-tag aroun' a whale or rushin' th' can f'r their poor tired father just home fr'm th' rollin'-mills, where he's been makin' snowballs f'r th' export thrade, or engagin' in some other spoort iv childhood! Go wan with ye!"
"But who are they, annyhow?"
"I make it a rule in me life not to discuss anny woman's charac-ter," replied Mr. Dooley, sternly. "If Doc Nansen was off there skylarkin' with Flora an' Fauna, it's his own business, an' I make no inquiries. A lady's a lady, be she iver so humble; an', as Shakespeare says, cursed be th' man that'd raise an ax to her, save in th' way iv a joke. We'll talk no scandal in this house, Hinnissy."
But, after his friend had gone, Mr. Dooley leaned over confidentially, and whispered to Mr. McKenna, "But who are Flora an' Fauna, Jawn?"
"I don't know," said Mr. McKenna.
"It sounds mighty suspicious, annyhow," said the philosopher. "I hope th' doc'll be able to square it with his wife."

Hope everything is OK with you and your life? I would like to ask of you to review the sources on the Emmelie de Forest article concerning the royal ancestry claims and the "controversy" surrounding it. In the Media attention about claim of royal ancestors section and also accusations made against her dead father at the Personal life section. I am personally doubtful that it needs to be mentioned in an almost accusive tone towards this young singer, and also being mentioned in the same tone against the singers dead father. I am asking you this as I think this is the last opportunity to do anything about it if needed before she very possbily wins the Eurovision final tomorrow night. I might be completely wrong and everything about the claims about royal ancestry is a complete fake and a scam like it seems the article wants to give the impression, but if not I rather have it removed or down-sized further for Wikipedia crediblity reasons.

I'm a bit confused about how own userpage protection works. You say you cannot protect my userpage because it has never been edited by anyone other than myself, which is of course true. I have read the policy regarding protecting pages within own userspace and it demands evidence of vandalism by anon. users or other good reasons for protection (none of what, I admit, is present in my userpage's case). However, this user page was protected by User:Mike V when the page had been edited only by two other users (one of them was bot) except the author, and none of their edits were unconstructive in any manner (all before the page was recently moved as a result of a rename from User:Pratyya Ghosh to User:Pratyya). No specific reason was provided by the protecting administrator. Is it true that the page got protected merely because someone other than the author himself had ever edited the page? Did it not violate the policy regarding protection of own userpages? smtchahal talk 13:42, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
"if there is evidence of vandalism/disruption or other good reason to do so", so I don't know what that was about. I'm afraid you'll have to ask Mike; it's possible that he simply made a mistake, admins being human and all. What I told you on the WP:RFPP page is standard, in fact I noticed after I'd replied that I could even have used a template for saying that pages are not protected pre-emptively: {{RFPP|np}}. As for your question if it makes a difference that somebody other than the author had edited the page: no, it wouldn't. Semiprotection only (basically) works against IPs, anyway. Are you worried about your userpage? Is there anything I can do to help? I'll add it to my watchlist if you like. Bishonen | talk 14:10, 19 May 2013 (UTC).

My favorite legal-decision of the week, cited in the New York Times Sunday Magazine:
Some might look at the silky wording of IP Nav's letter to Renaissance and see a close question; this court, however, sees an unmistakable and intentional warning shot across the bow. The actual message is pellucid to any patent litigator, so that IP Nav's use of apophasis is disingenuous and unavailing. Remember Mark Antony's funeral oration in Julius Caesar? That's how an experienced business executive or lawyer would view IP Nav's assertions that "we are focused on addressing these issues without the need for costly and protracted litigation" and "our client's preferred approach is to conclude licensing discussions without resorting to litigation. We hope you share this objective." The implied "or else!" oozes from this letter like lye from lutefisk. To paraphrase an observation attributed to Anton Chekhov, you don't hang a gun over the mantle in Act I unless someone is going to fire it in Act III.

Have you worked out what is going on on that page? I haven’t, except that the recent SPA edits must be driven by the litigation that’s going on between the current owner of the brand and the reality TV person who is a scion of the storied family.

ACHC is a pay-for-inclusion registry and there is thus no notability."So you can't turn it into an article. If you can convince Dragonfly that there is something better than ACHC that does establish notability, I'm sure s/he'll remove the protection and you'll be free to turn it into an article.

Hi my dear friend.
Could you please make me understood of this text. would you mind to paraphrase that. thanks a million. please use positive verb in the last sentence. << The study indicated that greater boredom in year seven predicted significantly less satisfaction at year 16. In addition, greater satisfaction in year seven did not significantly predict less boredom in year 16. >> Alborzagros ( talk) 12:45, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
"The study showed that the participants who were bored in year seven were significantly less likely than the other participants to be satisfied with their marriage in year 16. It also showed that if participants were satisfied in year seven, it didn't make any difference to how bored they felt in year 16."Does that make sense? I don't blame you for having trouble with it. They've put two sentences about two different results together in one paragraph, and the second result is even a bit of a surprise in relation to the first. But the key, I suppose, is that the researchers have treated dissatisfaction and boredom as completely different things. Bishonen | talk 16:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC).

What do you make of the Talk:Croton Aqueduct situation? Curb Chain and the Deutsche Telecom IP(s) were adamant about being two different persons in the discussion there; one of IPs even notified Curb Chain on his talk page [32]. WP:SPI will probably refuse to connect them because the disruption wasn't extraordinary. But the coincidences in their other editing interests: at BRIC [33] (a recurring editing interest of Curb Chain, who edited it around that time too [34]) and also flags in general [35] [36] (a more minor interest of Curb Chain) are weird. There are a bunch of other people who agree with Curb Chain on the spacing issue, so maybe it is someone else despite these other coincidences... What do you think? (This is also an ongoing issue: the IPs keep doing that, the most recent edit of that kind from the that Deutsche Telecom range was yesterday [37]. It has also been going on for a long time [38] [39] [40] [41]. An ideal use of a dynamic IP, especially one from a huge range, is apparently enforcing one's aesthetic standards on random articles, without contributing anything more substantial to them... I wonder if this is one of those editors banned for using unapproved bots. It's hard to imagine how they find so many articles containing HTML comments in such a short time span by regular editing...) 86.121.18.17 ( talk) 07:09, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
I want to make you aware of that IP 87.232.1.48 and I had a dispute before the IP was blocked three months ago. The first thing the IP now is doing is following my edits around apparently. I will assume good faith but I have no interest in engaging with the IP further as he brings up my bad sides. I dont know how to handle this without being "the bad user that attacks the IP". In the last few hours the IP has edited Miss World Sweden, the Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret article and the film articles AfD and Yohios talk page. Especially the edit/revert on Miss World Sweden seems to have been made only to try to get some sort of reaction from me. And I know that all IPs and users are entitled to edit any article they like, but I feel that doing edits to simply possibly provoke a reaction is unecessary and on verge of Wikihounding. I could be wrong but I have this distinct feeling as the user has except for one edit only edited articles that I have edited within a short period of time before the user returned, and it was exactly unfortunatly what I expected would happen. All I want now is for the IP and myself to move on and try to be productive only, right now I feel the IP is heading towards wanting a new edit-war for some reason. Regards, -- BabbaQ ( talk) 21:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Per WP:3RR, administrators can block for less than 3 reverts in a 24 hour period, and that seems reasonable given that the user in question had previously been blocked twice for edit warring. Also, per WP:TOOLMISUSE, there's not an obvious reason why consultation was not sought before the unblock. I think you owe User:Bbb23 an apology for that unblock without consultation, even though it does seem you were looking for a strict 3RR violation, which needn't have existed in the first place to prompt a block.

TO BISHONEN FROM MEDIA PIONEER: The living person referenced in Joshua DuBois fluff biased posting has clearly implied that he has a degree in theology or divinity from a reputable university (such as Princeton). R U disagreeing that Princeton is not "reputable"? So a statement about what this person has "Not" done by failing to having any education or degree in theology, divinity Bible History, Bible Archaeology, Hebrew or Koinea Greek (which are all basic minimum studies required to be a reputable minister or rabbi)is paramount to demonstrating to the readers of Wiki that this living person has educational qualifications commensurate with a politician but not of a minister. If you are an atheist that may demonstrate why you give so little credence to a proper degree in ones occupation. Finally, the exact QUOTE which was fully and properly reference about this persons "Tweet" had been published for quiet a while and demonstrates the tone and motives of the living person and his politically correct agenda, which if you would study the subject is NOT a part of his African Methodist-Episcopal background. Nor is it of his late father.

With regard to your revision of Attack (political party) you have unsufficient grounds to prove this party far-right. I wonder where do you come from and what expertise do you have in political sciences and Bulgarian political life? I recommend that you better assess Attack´s political behavior rather than what is said and declared by them. A party calling for nationalization and entering under-table coalition with a minority party cannot be called far-right and there is not such an example in the political life of Europe nor in the world. If "Attack itself claims not to fit on the left-right scale" you should at least remove the "far right" behind ultra-nationalist and leave it as a point of discussion. I understand that there is a number of violations against the page but you cannot put reasonable comments and ammendments on side because of this.

Bishonen, I saw your comment at the AN and didn't want to respond there. TP has convinced me that I've said far too much already. Boy, is that an understatement! Haha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I was very hurt by your comments because before I read them I thought you were an absolute sweetheart and a wonderful admin. I can't remember exactly where I came across you, but I clearly remembered you as soon as I saw your name. I even saved your talk page and have a note that says, "Wondeful admin, so nice, very helpful!" Anyway, if you support sanctions against me that's fine, I would understand that. But the mocking tone of your comment and the fact that it alluded to my wife and kids was hard to read coming from someone as nice as you. Honestly, it shocked me when I saw it was you who wrote it. (I expect it from some of the others.) And just so you know, my wife didn't tell me to continue editing, she and my kids urged me to respond to the allegations. But regardless of what happens, I will not be editing once it's over, which I'm sure will be better for everyone involved. Anyway, your comments probably hurt me more than anyone else's because of the great amount of respect I always had for you. Have a good week. -- 76.189.109.155 ( talk) 03:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Bishonen may be a little tired from exerting that power, so let me expand on how to revert edits. Go to Mirko Filipović. Hold down the Ctrl key (assuming Windows) and click "history". On many browsers, that will open the history page in a new tab. Each row shows two radio buttons (empty circles that can be selected). On the oldest date believed to be good, click the first radio button. On the most-recent date (the one at the top of the list), click the second radio button (it's already selected by default). Click the "Compare selected revisions" button above the list. If the diff shows that all the edits are bad, click "undo" at the top right. Enter an edit summary and click Save (or "Save page").

I noticed that you've run into a notorious editor from St Petersburg, Russia, who has been edit warring on Spanish Civil War (which is on my watchlist) since some time last year, using several different IPs, including what seems to be open proxies, to reinsert a systemic bias tag against consensus (if you look at the page history of the article you'll see that I have been reverting him ever since he started his war, getting him blocked on several occasions, under a number of different IPs), so semi-protecting the article is the only thing that stops him, and was the right thing to do. So thanks for doing it. Hälsningar, Thomas.W talk to me 13:19, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
The Russian vandal has swiftly returned as Special:Contributions/78.25.121.197, so far staying away from Spanish Civil War but revealing his identity by reverting you on Pamela, as his first edit (which I noticed in his contributions when I cautioned him for unsourced edits on other articles).

Hey, I've seen you around often but don't think we've interacted before. I'm curious to hear more about your thoughts on The Wikipedia Adventure. The discussion seems to be bringing up some very strong reactions that I'd like to understand better. Ocaasi t | c 09:53, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
"Might I suggest a different theme entirely? A space adventure seems less appealing to an a wider range of users as it feels too much like a game. I understand the concept of making the learning of how to use wikipedia fun but it should be more practical. Since the subject matter is to do with information, articles, authors, editors, and the like, it might make sense if the theme of the game were more like a library instead of a galaxy. One might say a library isn't fun, but people who come to wikipedia wanting to contribute are less interested in having fun and more interested in learning."[66] Second that. Bishonen | talk 16:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC).
Hi Bish, just saw your renewed block of 91.155.236.125 ( talk · contribs · 91.155.236.125 WHOIS), but I'm not quite sure I understand the rationale. Just curious. He was last blocked for a month on 2 July, and indeed that block expired today, but I can't see him editing after that. I know there was a socking attempt through an open proxy on 19 July, but has there been renewed activity today? Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:43, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
I just do it with a twinkle in my eye. It's laziness really but why remember all the blocking templates plus it has some other admin useful features. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather ( talk) 21:12, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
While I have always felt this place has an infantile side, sometime one wonders if it's not actually insane; I refer to Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure. Have you ever seen such puerile nonsense? Not to mention the wisdom of targeting children like this. I hope no donor funds are being wasted on it. Hopefully people will come to their senses and delete it. Giano 10:16, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

While I'm still quite happy with the idea of having a press secretary, I've already noticed mine doesn't appear to work on Sundays. If true, that would mean I will have to occasionally fend for myself, something I no longer desire to do. (Gently worded, as I am a kind, generous superior) Something for us to work on in the coming year. (p.s. "Attempting"? Is this a backhanded cookie?) -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 15:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Could you please explain to me why you don't think my comment can stand? I state that my comment is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I state that I have on-wiki diffs to prove it. Removing such comments smells like North Korea's suppressing the freedom of speech. Are you more concerned about protecting the grownup members of the arbocom, or about protecting a vulnerable kid, and all other kids who could get bullied and hurt here on Wikipedia? Thanks. 76.126.140.123 ( talk) 18:24, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia:ANI#Cryellow. it appears that other admins either DGAF, or are busy dealing with other stuff, but the linked complaint has not received any admin attention whatsoever, and deals with serious, repeated BLP vios. if you could take a look at it, that would be great! -- Aunva6 talk - contribs 21:38, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Please take a look at this article. My comments are on the talk page. I believe you've been involved in some of the edits, and I'd like some feedback in trying to clean up this article, make it more objective.

Hello Bishonen. This is the first time I contact you, and hopefully not the last. I once read "But if you're just trying to beat someone over the head with the rules, then you picked the wrong person in Bishonen" and that stuff came to my mind today in the middle of a discussion at Talk:Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where a user is invoking a policy, but just partly the way I see the whole thing. Can you please join that discussion? Thanks in advance.-- Jetstreamer Talk 23:24, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Since SA has blanked his talk page, I will respond to you here. At least one of the people who supported an unblock said he should avoid fringe science topics. Others talked about him returning with restrictions, but did not specify what kind of restrictions. Many others left little to no indication as to whether they supported him returning to the fringe science topic area. We can't say for certain how a vote on the topic ban would break down as a result. It could be that a sufficient number of editors support the topic ban to prevent a consensus from forming on it, which would mean it stays.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 16:39, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
I had already left a link to the disputed section in my talk page at the page of the Admin (Kim) who had given me a topic ban. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Kim_Dent-Brown#Request_2 . I clearly indicated in my message to Kim that i will follow his advice in this matter. Further, i had written on my talk page a note (which you have now removed) where i clearly said that i have left a link to the disputed section on the talk page of the Admin who had imposed a topic ban on me (i.e. Kim) and as a show of good faith will be following his advice in this matter. I do not consider you a neutral Admin in this matter since you recently voted against me in the recent ANI discussion. I would like you to stay away from me and let a more neutral Admin (like Kim) take a decision about me. Lastly, i was not the one who reverted your edits on my talk page through an IP after which you seem to have placed some kind of restrictions on my talk page. In my opinion your actions on my talk page are an abuse of your Admin powers. I would like to know what recourse i have to have your Admin action reviewed by a higher authority since i want your activities on my talk page to be scrutinized to see if you have been abusing your Admin powers and unnecessarily bullying me.

I am not upset exactly, I am just a little put off by something that I feel has become to huge distraction for me. But your help and input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.-- Mark 17:49, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Wait a minute. Personal attacks??? Unregistered contributor deletes information without discussion, accusing me of commercial promotion and posing threats. What do you call that? Is that a normal behavior? Please, take a look at the correspondence. The article was never written in a way to promote commercial activities nor had intentions for it. The purpose of the links was temporary until more solid and resourceful sources of information would be provided. Some of the links that did not even had any pricing listed were deleted away. The article is intended to provided information on a local sports and tourism infrastructure and explain disambiguation between town municipality and sports administration in the area, due to the fact that Vorokhta is being categorized as a resort which is technically erroneous. Aleksandr Grigoryev ( talk) 13:14, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello Bishonen. The IP is repeatedly adding an external link to his/her own talk page (diffs [74], [75]), and shows every sign of wanting to continue to promote his/her fringe theories there. So maybe a removal of the right to edit his/her own talk page would be in order? Cheers, Thomas.W talk to me 14:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
