I appreciate the intervention you made on
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Longevity, but think it is rather unjust to single me out for the only real criticism. Over the past few days, I have tried to be kind to and work with that editor across various pages, but as you saw that went sideways under the weight of her threats of arbcom/sanctions, harassing levels of pinging, accusing me of being canvassed, accusing me and others of conspiring against old people articles, and demanding I do what she wants to prove I was not part of some scheme. She has variously written What are you up to? Is this some form of intentional disruption? Or has someone somewhere canvassed you to come to this discussion and vote for something who effects you don't care about?
here only to go on and lie in an AfD @Newshunter12 no, I did not accuse you of being canvassed.
here. In all my time in this topic area, the only people I have ever truly clashed with are TFBCT1 and Dorglorg near-always over specific editing disputes, but this other editor has torn into my Wikipedia life and is harassing me of a sudden like a hurricane. I do not appreciate being told I'm part of some conspiracy with editors like you (of course, if I was part of a Wikipedia conspiracy I would want you to be a member!).
Just while writing to you now she has raised the spector that I am after her off Wikipedia: no my account was not hacked. But it's a curious coincidence that you have suggested the possibility only 24 hours after the first ever logged attempt to hack it.
here. I have never hacked or tried to hack any account or website before in my life. I did not sign up for this crap, which is why I gently came to say Please think very carefully about your continued presence editing in this topic
to escape this sudden nightmare. That editor seems to have a very serious sudden problem with me. Two other accounts have recently vandalized my talk page; one was a longevity fanboy and one was an anonymous IP. The first vandalism I couldn't see as an admin had already blocked it, but
The Blade of the Northern Lights said it was very nasty, and much worse then vandalism he had received 10 minutes later from an IP telling him to commit suicide. The IP editor that posted to my page made a crude sexual remark, and an admin removed it from the record at my request. I seem to have pissed off a hornets nest.
Ideally, I wish BHG would just stay away from me and I her, but that doesn't appear likely so I am afraid I think I will be leaving Wikipedia. I can take the harassment to my talk page just fine, I don't care about that, but I did not sign up to be wiki-tormented by some crazy woman who has taken an interest in me and telling the world I'm part of anti-old people conspiracies and very real criminal actions. This was just a hobby for me and BHG has swiftly raised the specter she will escalate her actions to the point of real world consequences if she discovered who I am. My family and I cannot afford to get tangled in God only knows what mess could come, so I think I will say goodbye to a few of my wiki-mates today or tomorrow, and then retire. Sorry to drop all this on you mate, but you did make the edit ending the discussion!!! As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. It's been nice editing with you and visiting The Museums. Farewell, mate :) Newshunter12 ( talk) 08:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

no my account was not hacked. But it's a curious coincidence that you have suggested the possibility only 24 hours after the first ever logged attempt to hack it.here. Computer hacking is a serious crime in my country and if I had done that and she reported me, I would be in a jail cell. I did not do it (if it even happened in the first place) so there is nothing to trace back to me, but it's a crazy world out there and I don't know what this person or her allies are capable of doing to me. It has already rapidly escalated from her accusing me of being canvassed, to being part of an anti-old people conspiracy, to engaging in criminal actions against her, to sparking a rumor that I did just that and am engaged in sockpuppetry as seen here:
Newshunter12 probably tried hack her account recently. MarkAQuinn who just voted in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nabi Tajima (2nd nomination) is a sockpuppet of Newshunter12 these guys probably already knew that but they don't ban there own.There are a lot of messed up people in this world and my family and I don't need our real lives screwed up because of Wikipedia's female Alex Jones.

Your comments at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#MOS:LQ is self-contradictory are counter to existing consensus as to the existence of the MOS:LQ guideline.

I have to admit, your favorite referencing system works pretty well for making footnotes that link to the selected publications section. My previous method for doing that was <ref group=pubs> but then there's no way to list the pubs in a normal-sized font. On the other hand, the inconsistent indentation can be annoying; see Bruce Reed (mathematician) for an example I just tested out. — David Eppstein ( talk) 04:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello EEng. Your recent edit of Pete Seeger with the edit summary ”we don't credit photos like this” also changed the birth place to Patterson, New York, U.S. I changed the birth place to Manhattan, New York, U.S. on 8 August 2017 to agree with the first referenced line of section Family and personal life.

Somewhere in project space (possibly on the talk page for some part of MOS) there was recently a discussion about the phrases "of the same name" and "eponymously named", as in "The Bloggers is a 2010 film based on the novel of the same name".

That last experiment you recently uploaded to the Museum was well,...shocking. I highly recommend it. If I may - and with no intention of making an Ash of myself - I'll just drop-off a link to another enlightening experiment here. I keep the link available as a reminder of societal influences. Independent thinking is essential to a free society but like common sense, it isn't so common anymore, especially as evidenced by some of the discussions at RfCs, AfDs, noticeboards, dramah boards and ArbCom.

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is perhaps now visible from
Mars. According to
Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become visible from space, and are in danger of being photographed by satellites and used as evidence in industrial espionage. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when atmospheric pressure drops below 3psi." - this talk page is 4.5 pounds per square inch [psi] (31 kPa), or slightly above
Mount Everest. See
Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a
bot. Or we might just get the bot to do it anyway for a laugh. If you have any questions, place a {{

Hi EEng. I note that your undid some of my work on Mark Twain. No worries, but I thought I'd explain what I was doing. The dates on the article were mixed up, and it is better to have a consistent style. I assume you thought that all access dates on the article were in yyyy-mm-dd format - however, if you check back in the history, you'll note that some were yyyy-mm-dd, and some were MDY. I have made some effort in making the dates more consistent per MOS guidelines - though there is still some work to be done on this. Looking back at the article history I note that you have previously reverted on this issue. Generally when two editors are making the same corrections to an article, then it is time to look more closely at what they have done. Anyway, no worries, no harm. These things happen. ;-) SilkTork ( talk) 16:16, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Re: [20] "What the fuck are you doing?" is a very broad question...as the edit summary says, I changed ÷ to ÷ to make it easier for editors to read the wikitext. I also changed ± to ± for similar reasons. This edit removes the last use of ÷ in the encyclopedia in general, which was very rarely used to begin with and which seems to me much less editor friendly. Is there some reason you prefer it to ÷? If this edit has made you angry, feel free to explain why, but please avoid using profanity. Thanks. -- Beland ( talk) 23:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey, sorry old friend, but I disagree with your last two posts there. He had a right to remove the second-to-last one (it being the bottom of a thread, so to speak, so that no one can misconstrue any subsequent posts--that seems like common sense to me: that was no falsification), and the charge that that's a habit, well, that's kind of rough and so categorical that it needs proof. But that proof should probably not come in a thread on a user talk page. Later, Drmies ( talk) 02:45, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
show up to every ANI/AN/talkpage you can to criticize what I'm doing (and borders on wiki-stalking), and my rebuttal dismantling that accusation: [38]. His response was to remove my rebuttal – but leave his phony accusation [39], as if I hadn't responded. We've all run into people who insist on having the last word, but at least they usually do that by adding a "last word" of their own, not by removing the last thing you said because – and there is no other conclusion to be drawn – they are at a loss to answer it. When what you just said is a defense against the last-worder's phony behavioral accusation, this is a shameful thing to do.

Hey there, I know I've kind of made a scene about your talk page in the past (I hope this edit saves!) but today I have a bug on your user page. For me, on Win10 Chrome with vector skin, it's loading your "welcome to the museums" text box at the far left edge of the page, along with the Widener Library image and all the other Harvard-related images, and they're completely blocking off the left-side menu links.

Hi EEng. Before stating my question, I will quickly note that I have recently become somewhat if not totally sympathetic to your pessimistic attitude in regard to WP style matters and to effectuating any change in this regard for rational reasons. That said, I'll jump to the chuckle I just now enjoyed when I found myself desiring a "talk-page talk page", i.e. one about the MoS talk page, where I couldn't see an appropriate place to place my question that I'm therefore sending to you, in preference to sending it to an administrator who would probably either ignore me or threaten me with sanctions for having purportedly violated some nonexistent rule. But let's get to the question already. I searched for "news" (style guides) on the MoS talk page this morning, was surprised that there were no finds on the word, and finally found that the "Commas" section had been archived along with five preceding ones, but not including the first two at the top of the page, "An amusement park with a Noah's Ark theme is..." and "Numbering officeholders in infoboxes". If this was done automatically by a bot, I wondered, then why didn't it archive these two along with the others? Having presented this question, I'm now thinking that maybe it was because there were later contributions in the first two sections but not in the others, and if this is the reason then I would appreciate your confirming it. In any event don't get me wrong – I'm happy to see "Commas" go and I proposed a new thread accordingly, though admittedly with quite poor timing on that. But when will the post-intro comma be permitted to reappear? In six weeks? Six months? Six years? Thanks. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 17:04, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate the intervention you made on
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Longevity, but think it is rather unjust to single me out for the only real criticism. Over the past few days, I have tried to be kind to and work with that editor across various pages, but as you saw that went sideways under the weight of her threats of arbcom/sanctions, harassing levels of pinging, accusing me of being canvassed, accusing me and others of conspiring against old people articles, and demanding I do what she wants to prove I was not part of some scheme. She has variously written What are you up to? Is this some form of intentional disruption? Or has someone somewhere canvassed you to come to this discussion and vote for something who effects you don't care about?
here only to go on and lie in an AfD @Newshunter12 no, I did not accuse you of being canvassed.
here. In all my time in this topic area, the only people I have ever truly clashed with are TFBCT1 and Dorglorg near-always over specific editing disputes, but this other editor has torn into my Wikipedia life and is harassing me of a sudden like a hurricane. I do not appreciate being told I'm part of some conspiracy with editors like you (of course, if I was part of a Wikipedia conspiracy I would want you to be a member!).
Just while writing to you now she has raised the spector that I am after her off Wikipedia: no my account was not hacked. But it's a curious coincidence that you have suggested the possibility only 24 hours after the first ever logged attempt to hack it.
here. I have never hacked or tried to hack any account or website before in my life. I did not sign up for this crap, which is why I gently came to say Please think very carefully about your continued presence editing in this topic
to escape this sudden nightmare. That editor seems to have a very serious sudden problem with me. Two other accounts have recently vandalized my talk page; one was a longevity fanboy and one was an anonymous IP. The first vandalism I couldn't see as an admin had already blocked it, but
The Blade of the Northern Lights said it was very nasty, and much worse then vandalism he had received 10 minutes later from an IP telling him to commit suicide. The IP editor that posted to my page made a crude sexual remark, and an admin removed it from the record at my request. I seem to have pissed off a hornets nest.
Ideally, I wish BHG would just stay away from me and I her, but that doesn't appear likely so I am afraid I think I will be leaving Wikipedia. I can take the harassment to my talk page just fine, I don't care about that, but I did not sign up to be wiki-tormented by some crazy woman who has taken an interest in me and telling the world I'm part of anti-old people conspiracies and very real criminal actions. This was just a hobby for me and BHG has swiftly raised the specter she will escalate her actions to the point of real world consequences if she discovered who I am. My family and I cannot afford to get tangled in God only knows what mess could come, so I think I will say goodbye to a few of my wiki-mates today or tomorrow, and then retire. Sorry to drop all this on you mate, but you did make the edit ending the discussion!!! As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. It's been nice editing with you and visiting The Museums. Farewell, mate :) Newshunter12 ( talk) 08:05, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

no my account was not hacked. But it's a curious coincidence that you have suggested the possibility only 24 hours after the first ever logged attempt to hack it.here. Computer hacking is a serious crime in my country and if I had done that and she reported me, I would be in a jail cell. I did not do it (if it even happened in the first place) so there is nothing to trace back to me, but it's a crazy world out there and I don't know what this person or her allies are capable of doing to me. It has already rapidly escalated from her accusing me of being canvassed, to being part of an anti-old people conspiracy, to engaging in criminal actions against her, to sparking a rumor that I did just that and am engaged in sockpuppetry as seen here:

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is perhaps now visible from
Mars. According to
Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become visible from space, and are in danger of being photographed by satellites and used as evidence in industrial espionage. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when atmospheric pressure drops below 3psi." - this talk page is 4.5 pounds per square inch [psi] (31 kPa), or slightly above
Mount Everest. See
Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a
bot. Or we might just get the bot to do it anyway for a laugh. If you have any questions, place a {{

Hi EEng. I note that your undid some of my work on Mark Twain. No worries, but I thought I'd explain what I was doing. The dates on the article were mixed up, and it is better to have a consistent style. I assume you thought that all access dates on the article were in yyyy-mm-dd format - however, if you check back in the history, you'll note that some were yyyy-mm-dd, and some were MDY. I have made some effort in making the dates more consistent per MOS guidelines - though there is still some work to be done on this. Looking back at the article history I note that you have previously reverted on this issue. Generally when two editors are making the same corrections to an article, then it is time to look more closely at what they have done. Anyway, no worries, no harm. These things happen. ;-) SilkTork ( talk) 16:16, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Re: [20] "What the fuck are you doing?" is a very broad question...as the edit summary says, I changed ÷ to ÷ to make it easier for editors to read the wikitext.

This edit removes the last use of ÷ in the encyclopedia in general, which was very rarely used to begin with and which seems to me much less editor friendly. Is there some reason you prefer it to ÷?

The square root of a tomato is very difficult, because a tomato is squishy. It may be possible to calculate it using Hawkins quantum kinematic theories to describe the Godel relativity in macroscopic Schrödinger equations in context to electrodynamic perturbative regimes of 11-dimensional spacetime. Perhaps:
Ergo, the square root of a tomato is a variable equal to the Intelligence quotient of a rabbit. Which according to reliable sources is 42. -- Prince of Thieves ( talk) 12:42, 19 March 2018 (UTC) Pst. I have no idea what any of that means, I just copied random stuff from articles about Hawkins radiation.
Hi Eng, I'd appreciate it if you would not change the policies and guidelines around image sizes without consensus. It's a contentious issue and one that has caused a lot of bad feeling between editors in the past. People have to be given the chance to express a view about changes that might affect the way they edit, especially changes to policy. All the best, SarahSV (talk) 00:27, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

I believe that I have set up the perfect opportunity for you to respond to your curtain call to contribute humorous content to a [ Signpost article]. See the draft then insert your comments after the essays that I have highlighted. Also, you have some humourouse essays that you can add to my list. Have a go and invite your talk page stalkers to join in. I consider you and your stalkers to be the connoisseurs of one-line remarks so I hope you all can help. I'll be darned if I am going to hit the preview button on your talk page and wait ten minutes to see it. See what you see in this post is what you get, mistakes and all.

I am making the valiant but probably futile request that you consider archiving some of your talk page discussions from years long, long ago now that you've reached #400 (I hereby challenge TPS to find a longer user talk page!). Some of us value our digits and don't want to tire them out scrolling to the bottom of your very long talk page. At least I can say I tried. Liz Read! Talk! 23:02, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey, sorry old friend, but I disagree with your last two posts there. He had a right to remove the second-to-last one (it being the bottom of a thread, so to speak, so that no one can misconstrue any subsequent posts--that seems like common sense to me: that was no falsification), and the charge that that's a habit, well, that's kind of rough and so categorical that it needs proof. But that proof should probably not come in a thread on a user talk page. Later, Drmies ( talk) 02:45, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
show up to every ANI/AN/talkpage you can to criticize what I'm doing (and borders on wiki-stalking), and my rebuttal dismantling that accusation: [38]. His response was to remove my rebuttal – but leave his phony accusation [39], as if I hadn't responded. We've all run into people who insist on having the last word, but at least they usually do that by adding a "last word" of their own, not by removing the last thing you said because – and there is no other conclusion to be drawn – they are at a loss to answer it. When what you just said is a defense against the last-worder's phony behavioral accusation, this is a shameful thing to do.

Hey there, I know I've kind of made a scene about your talk page in the past (I hope this edit saves!) but today I have a bug on your user page. For me, on Win10 Chrome with vector skin, it's loading your "welcome to the museums" text box at the far left edge of the page, along with the Widener Library image and all the other Harvard-related images, and they're completely blocking off the left-side menu links. Did you mean to do that? Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 15:07, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
EEng Hi, can you please archive some of the old stuff here? I am having a hard time loading this page on my computer. Thanks! Mgasparin ( talk) 06:27, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi EEng. Before stating my question, I will quickly note that I have recently become somewhat if not totally sympathetic to your pessimistic attitude in regard to WP style matters and to effectuating any change in this regard for rational reasons. That said, I'll jump to the chuckle I just now enjoyed when I found myself desiring a "talk-page talk page", i.e. one about the MoS talk page, where I couldn't see an appropriate place to place my question that I'm therefore sending to you, in preference to sending it to an administrator who would probably either ignore me or threaten me with sanctions for having purportedly violated some nonexistent rule. But let's get to the question already. I searched for "news" (style guides) on the MoS talk page this morning, was surprised that there were no finds on the word, and finally found that the "Commas" section had been archived along with five preceding ones, but not including the first two at the top of the page, "An amusement park with a Noah's Ark theme is..." and "Numbering officeholders in infoboxes". If this was done automatically by a bot, I wondered, then why didn't it archive these two along with the others? Having presented this question, I'm now thinking that maybe it was because there were later contributions in the first two sections but not in the others, and if this is the reason then I would appreciate your confirming it. In any event don't get me wrong – I'm happy to see "Commas" go and I proposed a new thread accordingly, though admittedly with quite poor timing on that. But when will the post-intro comma be permitted to reappear? In six weeks? Six months? Six years? Thanks. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 17:04, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
lightning-fast Harvard Internet(except when I happen to be at Harvard). The <home> key takes you to the top of any page, and there's a Jump to bottom of page link at the top of this page.
I had been aware of this Barney Smith for years, as I monitor List of museums in Central Texas. Until today, the museum has remained a red link. The concept of it has made me laugh ever since I first became aware or it years ago. And there's been an audience for his collection. — Maile ( talk) 22:24, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
