Hi dear Drmies, I have ventured myself into the article-creation of Wikipedia. I am working on the article "Homeless services in Utah", and I think there might be things that will need to be corrected, as I understand you mentioned. I am not an english native speaker, but I appreciate corrections as to improve on it. I do not represent an organization. The article I am working on is the product of a research we did at Salt Lake City with my fellow students. Would you please help me understand what could be improved as to have this article approved? I think it could be of great benefit for individuals-or even organizations-looking to help homeless people.

Hello there,
I thought I'd talk about this first before undoing your edit. Given the fact that many other tour pages (including Coldplay) have promotional shows, I thought those tour dates had justified a place on this page. These promotional shows also feature a new stage setup and/or songs from the new album. Having more shows for the reader's sake ≠ a downgrade in quality of the article. There was no need to delete all the shows. Also, your sarcasm was not appreciated. Ramres1 ( talk) 20:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
How does removing all tour dates or removing major landmark announcements accomplish what you are trying to get across? Sure, as I've read in what you have linked, merely listing tour dates is not enough to justify an tour article's existence, but removing all tour dates doesn't do much either. Not trying to argue here, and I think we have a common interest in making a good article, so I appreciate your intentions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramres1 ( talk • contribs) 23:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
This is an encyclopedia--text first. A list of dates can be found anywhere, including here, but verified text from secondary sources cannot--that's our job. So try and find articles that discuss the tour. This is something, but not much. This gives you half a sentence, and this maybe a whole one. But look at the Madonna article to see what meaningful text is here--it's not "band Y announced they'd play city X on that date", that's all boring facts. Like, "In March 2006, Madonna, along with her then-husband Guy Ritchie and with their kids, moved to Los Angeles, to begin rehearsing for the tour". And "The two secondary runways were raised up into the stands and also had view screens inside the construction." And Madonna returned for the Glam-Punk segment of the show and strapped on a guitar for rocked-out versions of "I Love New York" and "Ray of Light". Hard to do for you since the shows haven't started, which is another reason it just may be too early, but that's the kind of thing one can write. Good luck.

Been reading up on North Korea offwiki, ran across this term, and see it is a very widely used term to describe a very specific thing. Being an uneducated Texan, it is probably beyond my pay grade, but thought I would drop it off here before you get your new job. I hear they have a pool table, open bar, and hot tub in the Arb Clubhouse, which will come in handy. Until then, maybe you or someone might like to take a stab at this ugly redlink.

Over a translation of Hawaiian words. I am Native Hawaiian and he is calling my arguments "racists" and "bigoted" over content no one agrees with him on.

I was blocked today on a side street because another driver on the main street blocked the intersection. When I could have gone, her car was right there in front of me; she should have stopped ten yards earlier, seeing the line of stopped cars, and left the intersection open for crossing vehicles. She was wrong, I was there for another two minutes, and I have no doubt she thinks I was wrong. What can I do? Ram my car into hers, get out, and explain traffic rules ("don't block the intersection")? One cannot argue things easily with someone who is or chooses to be uninformed; you can only hope you find enough patience until the intersection clears. Good luck with that... Drmies ( talk) 06:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
"Hmm. If I understand it correctly they're using ancient and now deprecated terminology coined by white missionaries?" - Hi. I have to clarify here. One the term was coined by Europeans in general not just the missionaries and the word noble is as Euro-centric as chief given that both are English words. Mark Miller's claim (which I believe to be biased and unfound) that the translation is ancient, deprecated and connotates Indians is not supported by majority scholarship or sources in Hawaiian historiography hence my comment that his views can seem racist especially to modern Hawaiians (including historians and a former pastor of Kawaiahao Church) who have accepted or appropriated the term as their own much like how some groups of Native Americans have appropriate the inaccurate term Indian as their own. Saying the term chief connotates Indians is a bigoted viewpoint given the universal usage of the term across many different indigenous society.--

( edit conflict) "Chiefess" (and to a lesser degree "Chief") are still retained/used and not deprecated when they occur as pronomimal (that is, adjectival) honorifics ( Check out the schools proudly still named "Chiefess ______"; the same is true in documentaries and current writings when referring to any Hawaiian chiefesses). In terms of translating the word "ali'i" as a noun, it is currently usually translated as "noble" or "nobility". So as with many things, the terminology can depend on the usage. In any case, sources should be used to substantiate or back up any statement or assertion, whether in an article or on a discussion page. Softlavender ( talk) 07:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations, Drmies, on your election to ArbCom. Soon, you will be so busy with dealing fairly but firmly with the World's Most Disruptive Editors that you will no longer have time for lighthearted banter with those of us who have no desire to poke anyone else in the eye, as opposed to trying to improve the encyclopedia. In this brief remaining window of opportunity, I want to draw your attention, (and the attention of your devoted talk page stalkers), to a personal essay I have written about smartphone editing. It can be found at User:Cullen328/Smartphone editing. Thank you for your consideration. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:50, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Wow, Cullen, I felt sure you were specifically talking about (and using) iPhones. I'm so confused on the smartphone issue. Everyone says Mac but then Jobs died and they monumentally fucked up the map thing, which is major when you considered smartphones are, like, mobile devices. *sigh* I'm glad I don't have to make this decision at present. Softlavender ( talk) 23:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
I am sorry to appear to be second-guessing you; perhaps I am missing something. You recently indefblocked this editor as being not here to build an encyclopedia. I have just read every word of his last 100 edits, which takes us well back into November. there is a degree of edit-warring between him and Modernist, and while as we know in an edit war the rightness or wrongness is secondary, I see R3venans as being correct a lot more often than Modernist. I note that Modernist has claimed the high ground by issuing warning claiming that R3venans' edits are, in some cases, racist. I could not identify any such cases, although some of his comments do relate to race, particularly in respect of Darwin's views thereof, or the views held by the Nazi Party. For example, replacing "racism" by "anti-Semitism" could be seen as more accurate, but IMHO could not be classified as an intrinsically racist edit. Nor could short quotes, duly attributed, from Darwin. this user was warned, but as the warning came from Modernist in the middle of an edit war in which he was involved, I am not certain that this warning could be seen as relevant. I will, of course, not reverse your action; but could I ask you to review it? -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 21:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Looking at Talk:Charles Darwin now (for the third time) I am not so sure they were trying to host a forum on racial issues. If you want to entertain an unblock request, I'm all for it, as you know. Thanks Anthony, Drmies ( talk) 23:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
BTW, I'm pretty liberal when it comes to "wheel warring" since I think we're all fallible, and frequently these kinds of calls are judgment calls (I should write this up someday). If you or another admin disagrees with some administrative thing I did and we can't talk it out, then I don't see why you, as an admin, should not have the right to overrule me--us being equal. (I do not believe in the "whoever got there first wins" theory.) So seriously, unblock them if you think that's appropriate; I think we're both reasonable people, reasonable people can disagree reasonably, and your position is to try and keep an editor on board--so your position is to be favored. Thanks, for your note and your diplomacy, and for your advocacy of this editor. Drmies ( talk) 18:45, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
*Liberal with a capital L; the idea that white Europeans were demonstrably superior in abilities to other races, but that this was an artefact of the environment and all races have the same potential, and that with a good dose of Commerce, Christianity and Civilisation, enforced at gunpoint if necessary for their own good, differences in ability would vanish.
@ Drmies:Just for your information, while I was elsewhere JamesBWatson declined the unblock request, and Iridescent then unblocked anyway. that being so, I think I will do nothing else except watch. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dr. and talk page stalkers, some added attenton would be welcome here. A COI account is trying to add content copied from an essay he published; I think it's promotional and perhaps WP:FRINGE.

Season's Greetings and Happy New Year!
Wishing you a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas. May your new year be happy and prosperous. ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 01:31, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, thanks for taking a thorough look at the St. Xavier article recently during my wikivacation! While I may disagree about a few of the edits, I've learned a lot from your changes about school article standards. (Admittedly, I've procrastinated on trimming unneeded details.)
As a defense against vanity edits in the "Notable people" section, I've been adamant over the years about allowing only redlinks for articles that are already linked from other articles, with the assumption that such articles are more likely to meet the notability criteria. If those individuals aren't notable enough for articles, they should be unlinked elsewhere as well, for example Special:WhatLinksHere/Nick Vehr.
Thanks also for removing the extraneous quotes from citations. I added most of them years ago because the St. X and Cincinnati Enquirer websites had very poor permalinking practices. Of course, it looks like using the St. X website as a source was a bad idea in the first place; now that the Enquirer is archived on Newspapers.com, the quotes can all definitely go.
With all this pruning, I think there's room to grow the article in some new directions, so thanks again for your help. Have a wonderful holiday season!
– Minh Nguyễn 💬 05:05, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
By the way, that article (and the school has a fascinating history) led me to some other avenues. I wrote up Robert S. Johnston (real short) and added a short note to St. Mary's College (Kansas); the history of Catholicism in the Mid-West is of great interest to me. Anyway, thanks for your note and the festive spirit. Merry Christmas to you too, Drmies ( talk) 03:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

On a related topic, I'm very much reminded of how Sir Walter handles his material, with the historical material all played out in the background while the main character(s), in the foreground, are hopelessly detached from the "real" action.

Hi dear Drmies, I have ventured myself into the article-creation of Wikipedia. I am working on the article "Homeless services in Utah", and I think there might be things that will need to be corrected, as I understand you mentioned. I am not an english native speaker, but I appreciate corrections as to improve on it. I do not represent an organization. The article I am working on is the product of a research we did at Salt Lake City with my fellow students. Would you please help me understand what could be improved as to have this article approved? I think it could be of great benefit for individuals-or even organizations-looking to help homeless people.

Hello there,
I thought I'd talk about this first before undoing your edit. Given the fact that many other tour pages (including Coldplay) have promotional shows, I thought those tour dates had justified a place on this page. These promotional shows also feature a new stage setup and/or songs from the new album. Having more shows for the reader's sake ≠ a downgrade in quality of the article. There was no need to delete all the shows. Also, your sarcasm was not appreciated. Ramres1 ( talk) 20:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
How does removing all tour dates or removing major landmark announcements accomplish what you are trying to get across? Sure, as I've read in what you have linked, merely listing tour dates is not enough to justify an tour article's existence, but removing all tour dates doesn't do much either. Not trying to argue here, and I think we have a common interest in making a good article, so I appreciate your intentions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramres1 ( talk • contribs) 23:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
This is an encyclopedia--text first. A list of dates can be found anywhere, including here, but verified text from secondary sources cannot--that's our job. So try and find articles that discuss the tour. This is something, but not much. This gives you half a sentence, and this maybe a whole one. But look at the Madonna article to see what meaningful text is here--it's not "band Y announced they'd play city X on that date", that's all boring facts. Like, "In March 2006, Madonna, along with her then-husband Guy Ritchie and with their kids, moved to Los Angeles, to begin rehearsing for the tour". And "The two secondary runways were raised up into the stands and also had view screens inside the construction." And Madonna returned for the Glam-Punk segment of the show and strapped on a guitar for rocked-out versions of "I Love New York" and "Ray of Light". Hard to do for you since the shows haven't started, which is another reason it just may be too early, but that's the kind of thing one can write. Good luck.

Been reading up on North Korea offwiki, ran across this term, and see it is a very widely used term to describe a very specific thing. Being an uneducated Texan, it is probably beyond my pay grade, but thought I would drop it off here before you get your new job. I hear they have a pool table, open bar, and hot tub in the Arb Clubhouse, which will come in handy. Until then, maybe you or someone might like to take a stab at this ugly redlink. I think it would be fine for stand alone, and Famine doesn't even mention the term. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 02:37, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

"No. I just thought it was a bigoted comment to make".
Over a translation of Hawaiian words. I am Native Hawaiian and he is calling my arguments "racists" and "bigoted" over content no one agrees with him on. He is also on Commons accusing me of harassment because he can't name the source that sent him images. This, all the outcome of an FA review of KAVEBEAR's article.-- Mark Miller ( talk) 06:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
I was blocked today on a side street because another driver on the main street blocked the intersection. When I could have gone, her car was right there in front of me; she should have stopped ten yards earlier, seeing the line of stopped cars, and left the intersection open for crossing vehicles. She was wrong, I was there for another two minutes, and I have no doubt she thinks I was wrong. What can I do? Ram my car into hers, get out, and explain traffic rules ("don't block the intersection")? One cannot argue things easily with someone who is or chooses to be uninformed; you can only hope you find enough patience until the intersection clears. Good luck with that... Drmies ( talk) 06:34, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
"Hmm. If I understand it correctly they're using ancient and now deprecated terminology coined by white missionaries?" - Hi. I have to clarify here. One the term was coined by Europeans in general not just the missionaries and the word noble is as Euro-centric as chief given that both are English words. Mark Miller's claim (which I believe to be biased and unfound) that the translation is ancient, deprecated and connotates Indians is not supported by majority scholarship or sources in Hawaiian historiography hence my comment that his views can seem racist especially to modern Hawaiians (including historians and a former pastor of Kawaiahao Church) who have accepted or appropriated the term as their own much like how some groups of Native Americans have appropriate the inaccurate term Indian as their own. Saying the term chief connotates Indians is a bigoted viewpoint given the universal usage of the term across many different indigenous society.--
KAVEBEAR (

( edit conflict) "Chiefess" (and to a lesser degree "Chief") are still retained/used and not deprecated when they occur as pronomimal (that is, adjectival) honorifics ( Check out the schools proudly still named "Chiefess ______"; the same is true in documentaries and current writings when referring to any Hawaiian chiefesses). In terms of translating the word "ali'i" as a noun, it is currently usually translated as "noble" or "nobility". So as with many things, the terminology can depend on the usage. In any case, sources should be used to substantiate or back up any statement or assertion, whether in an article or on a discussion page. Softlavender ( talk) 07:05, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations, Drmies, on your election to ArbCom. Soon, you will be so busy with dealing fairly but firmly with the World's Most Disruptive Editors that you will no longer have time for lighthearted banter with those of us who have no desire to poke anyone else in the eye, as opposed to trying to improve the encyclopedia. In this brief remaining window of opportunity, I want to draw your attention, (and the attention of your devoted talk page stalkers), to a personal essay I have written about smartphone editing. It can be found at User:Cullen328/Smartphone editing. Thank you for your consideration. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:50, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Wow, Cullen, I felt sure you were specifically talking about (and using) iPhones. I'm so confused on the smartphone issue. Everyone says Mac but then Jobs died and they monumentally fucked up the map thing, which is major when you considered smartphones are, like, mobile devices. *sigh* I'm glad I don't have to make this decision at present. Softlavender ( talk) 23:23, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
I am sorry to appear to be second-guessing you; perhaps I am missing something. You recently indefblocked this editor as being not here to build an encyclopedia. I have just read every word of his last 100 edits, which takes us well back into November. there is a degree of edit-warring between him and Modernist, and while as we know in an edit war the rightness or wrongness is secondary, I see R3venans as being correct a lot more often than Modernist. I note that Modernist has claimed the high ground by issuing warning claiming that R3venans' edits are, in some cases, racist. I could not identify any such cases, although some of his comments do relate to race, particularly in respect of Darwin's views thereof, or the views held by the Nazi Party. For example, replacing "racism" by "anti-Semitism" could be seen as more accurate, but IMHO could not be classified as an intrinsically racist edit. Nor could short quotes, duly attributed, from Darwin. this user was warned, but as the warning came from Modernist in the middle of an edit war in which he was involved, I am not certain that this warning could be seen as relevant. I will, of course, not reverse your action; but could I ask you to review it? -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 21:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Looking at Talk:Charles Darwin now (for the third time) I am not so sure they were trying to host a forum on racial issues. If you want to entertain an unblock request, I'm all for it, as you know. Thanks Anthony, Drmies ( talk) 23:07, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
BTW, I'm pretty liberal when it comes to "wheel warring" since I think we're all fallible, and frequently these kinds of calls are judgment calls (I should write this up someday). If you or another admin disagrees with some administrative thing I did and we can't talk it out, then I don't see why you, as an admin, should not have the right to overrule me--us being equal. (I do not believe in the "whoever got there first wins" theory.) So seriously, unblock them if you think that's appropriate; I think we're both reasonable people, reasonable people can disagree reasonably, and your position is to try and keep an editor on board--so your position is to be favored. Thanks, for your note and your diplomacy, and for your advocacy of this editor. Drmies ( talk) 18:45, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
*Liberal with a capital L; the idea that white Europeans were demonstrably superior in abilities to other races, but that this was an artefact of the environment and all races have the same potential, and that with a good dose of Commerce, Christianity and Civilisation, enforced at gunpoint if necessary for their own good, differences in ability would vanish.
@ Drmies:Just for your information, while I was elsewhere JamesBWatson declined the unblock request, and Iridescent then unblocked anyway. that being so, I think I will do nothing else except watch. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 22:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dr. and talk page stalkers, some added attenton would be welcome here. A COI account is trying to add content copied from an essay he published; I think it's promotional and perhaps WP:FRINGE.

Another lovely vessel for press releases, apparently for many years now. Cheers to all, 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 16:51, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
I know you've kind of already addressed this, but that was in the realm of pop and rock. Can you share your thoughts on Red (Taylor Swift album)#Pop album, yet nominated for Best Country album? Thank you. -- Joseph Prasad ( talk) 20:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Do you consider the vandalism on your user page funnily or would you like to remove them? If so, then it will probably get
protected and
revdeled. Also, I like the ostrich

The 78.26 RFA Appreciation award |
Thank you for the participation and support at my RFA. It is truly appreciated. I hope to be of further help around here, and if you see me doing something dumb, you know where to find me. Again, I thank you. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 01:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC) |
I reverted your change because I don't think you looked at the article's edit history before you used Twinkle to revert -- and leave me a level-4 vandalism warning for an edit that was not vandalism. I restored a portion of a (sourced) sentence that was deleted without explanation by another unregistered editor. In the future, please try to be more careful. Thank you. 66.87.114.241 ( talk) 01:51, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Season's Greetings and Happy New Year!
Wishing you a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas. May your new year be happy and prosperous. ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 01:31, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Drmies, thanks for taking a thorough look at the St. Xavier article recently during my wikivacation! While I may disagree about a few of the edits, I've learned a lot from your changes about school article standards. (Admittedly, I've procrastinated on trimming unneeded details.)
As a defense against vanity edits in the "Notable people" section, I've been adamant over the years about allowing only redlinks for articles that are already linked from other articles, with the assumption that such articles are more likely to meet the notability criteria. If those individuals aren't notable enough for articles, they should be unlinked elsewhere as well, for example Special:WhatLinksHere/Nick Vehr.
Thanks also for removing the extraneous quotes from citations. I added most of them years ago because the St. X and Cincinnati Enquirer websites had very poor permalinking practices. Of course, it looks like using the St. X website as a source was a bad idea in the first place; now that the Enquirer is archived on Newspapers.com, the quotes can all definitely go.
With all this pruning, I think there's room to grow the article in some new directions, so thanks again for your help. Have a wonderful holiday season!

By the way, that article (and the school has a fascinating history) led me to some other avenues. I wrote up Robert S. Johnston (real short) and added a short note to St. Mary's College (Kansas); the history of Catholicism in the Mid-West is of great interest to me. Anyway, thanks for your note and the festive spirit. Merry Christmas to you too, Drmies ( talk) 03:38, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
