We'll get there in our collective efforts in this article, EEng. Regards and kudos. Kieron S.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 02:19, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
In the future, when you make edits like this, i.e. quoting extensively from the prose of an article written by someone else, followed or preceded by sweeping, judgmental exegeses like "classic OR", it is generally a good idea to let the editor in question know so they have an opportunity to respond. In this case, you didn't, and I feel somewhat blindsided.
In the same vein, disparaging the votes that are going against you in an AfD isn't a particularly good idea, either. There is a lot more to them than just "passes GNG".
That said, in the case of some of the excerpts you posted I am amenable to making changes. However this will have wait till later next week when I have returned from Mexico, where I'm at Wikimania right now. I just don't have the time or the resources right now. The DYK nom is being held open pending the resolution of the AfD, which I don't think will have happened by then, so there's no rush. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
I knew I was right not to check back here.
Keep up like this, and one of these days you're going to be sitting in front of the ArbCom, nervously twitching as they decide whether you will have any future at the project to speak of.

Sorry if this puzzled you; in retrospect I can see that to a reader not familiar with China it might need some explanation.
It's not unheard of, even today, for older men in China to keep caged songbirds as pets. In mornings they actually take them out, usually in the cages but sometimes (less so now) letting them fly around the city (they eventually return). That's what was happening there.
I'd love to be able to link that to the right article, or section, as a way of explaining it better. If I could but find it ... Daniel Case ( talk) 07:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

"The Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC) is a society devoted to the history of alchemy and chemistry. The Society was founded as the Society for the Study of Alchemy and Early Chemistry in 1935." Perhaps it is useful for your page and could use a copy edit Legacypac ( talk) 11:56, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you and your talk page stalkers EEng but I have a predicament I thought you could solve. Some background: I am working on an expansion for the Edith Roosevelt article; obviously, her husband is a significant part of her biography and will be mentioned more than a handful of times. How do I appropriately address Edith? First name or last name? If I use her last name, do I call Theodore by his first name to avoid confusion? Any help is appreciated.

In reply to: This is exactly the sort of thing I was afraid you were gonna go around doing when you posted at Talk:MOS. I'd like to hear a consensus of math-minded editors on this kind of thing before we go around systematically changing them.
Well, I'm a computer scientist and I think ⌈ and ⌉ are far easier to read than ⌈ and ⌉. These HTML entities are used extremely rarely - I wasn't sure they weren't misspelled and they only showed up in one article in my database scan. They appear lots and lots of times as ⌈ and ⌉, so it seems to me that there's already a clear consensus among mathy article editors, whether or not there's anything in the Manual of Style that says so.
I'm not currently making systematic changes to HTML entities that appear lots of times, like references to Greek letters. I'm waiting for the Manual of Style update before I put in a lot of work that might need to be reversed. Right now I'm going through a list of HTML entities that appear rarely, most of which are misspellings that cause breakage visible to readers. I don't think it's a good idea to revert edits on the theory that some other editor might disagree with them; if someone actually disagrees, let them speak for themselves. That's actually part of the point of what I'm doing in changing some rarely-used references to the characters themselves - a relatively small set of edits to see if there is actually any objection from the community. So far I haven't gotten any complaints. -- Beland ( talk) 08:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Your one-click archiver thing failed badly at WT:MOSPN; it didn't archive the threads, but just nuked them. May want to re-check our other uses of that. Something's going wrong with it. If it's not your work, should probably make a bug report. I checked both archive pages and teh threads did not appear there, nor was an /Archive 3 created. With the archive bot turned on at that page, the old stuff should archive soon enough anyway, I would think. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 17:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of
archiving. According to
Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 1079.2 KB. See
Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a

Just so you have some background information. Although it is not relevant to the discussion as it is only an example, I thought you might find it interesting.
It is the gates as a symbol that are significant (not Sous-lieutenant Legros -- although he was one of several the major actors in the drama). Wellington picked the closing of the gates the most crucial act of any small group of Allied soldiers towards securing the Coalition victory. It is the closing of the gates that 200 years later are the subject of the new monument at Waterloo commemorating the Coalition victory. ( Closing the gates at Hougoumont 1815, Battle of Waterloo memorial unveiled by Prince Charles).

Thanks for pointing that out. I was remembering from my days on OTRS, fielding demands from academics to cite their own work. It's pretty clear that self-citation is a bad idea, and wide-scale self-citation doubly so. Guy ( Help!) 14:04, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Funny you should mention; I've been dealing with a lot of great things someone wrote about his second son. FourViolas ( talk) 12:04, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
Regarding the query in your edit summary on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Baring-Gould commentary to NOBL describes "Lord St. Simon" as a "solecism," because St. Simon was a second son. But if that is so, it is a solecism that was perpetrated by Conan Doyle (or should I say Dr. Watson?) himself, and so we probably should feel comfortable leaving it.

I just added Zenobia (bird) to the DYK stats page, and that reminded me that I wanted to thank you for your work on the article.

Well, I noticed you received some very nice compliments from some members of Proj Med for doing something commendable, and because of that, I figured it elevated you to a level that I could trust your input regarding some warnings issued over a highly utilized cure for bashfulness. I thought it best to ask you directly rather than bother more important editors like Tryptofish and Doc James with such trivia, especially if there was no cause for alarm. Please watch the following video and let me know if you think there is any need for me to be concerned. [7]. Atsme 📞 📧 21:45, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
The Proj Med kudos are misleading, being based (most likely) on edit counts; I'm probably in the top N because of my 2000+ (no kidding) to a single article, Phineas Gage. Interestingly for your query, the remedy you're asking about has effects not entirely unlike those of the treatment Mr. Gage received i.e. an iron bar through the front of the brain, those effects including (to an extent not entirely clear) becoming a difficult person who can't make up his mind and stick to a plan. On the whole I think the "T" treatment is probably a better choice than that received by Mr. Gage.
Thank you indeed for bringing this matter to my attention. It will likely end up in one of the Museums in due course. E Eng 22:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC) P.S. Talk page stalkers are encouraged to click the link in the OP.
Hey, that's no laughing matter -- it happened to me! I was on a long bike ride and there was this string of ducklings (or goslings? who cares, they're all the same) lined up on the bike trail.

Hello,
I apologize for reverting your edit over at "What Wikipedia is not" (diff
[9]). I am an experienced editor, but forays into policy and guideline pages are new to me - so I admit I was being rigid. Having looked over your user page and talk page I see that you are a very experienced editor and that you know what you are doing. So, in the future I think I will do the same for any editor who edits guideline and policy pages - before I revert with an intention to save the Universe and Wikipedia.
I also noticed that you are immersed in humor; so I hope you like the title of this section. As an aside, perhaps editors should ask why is there no guideline page that describes "What Wikipedia is too!" (as an argument that counters "is not").
OK. I know that sounds a little nonsensical.

I just learned that we have a page on Radiometric dating. It strikes me as a less-than-ideal way to meet romantic partners. (Although, come to think of it, one might meet someone who is hot.) The curator could perhaps do something with that. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:20, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

It's happy hour, and I was refreshing my memory for intelligent jokes on your user page. Why? I dunno because most of them travel way beyond the thought processes of my happy hour companions (I drink alone)...BUT I came across the image of the green praying mantis WP:NPP, and paused for a moment of introspective...several seconds, in fact...and here I am. I cannot personally relate to the role of the green praying mantis....BUT...my concern is that I may inadvertently be one. My OCD would never allow forgiveness...so I'm here to consult (what I perceive to be) an expert in math and possibly even economics (which may be a stretch) - all the while not knowing how on earth I came to such a conclusion. I would normally indulge in a little hero worship by consulting Tryptofish, who may not know everything, but does an excellent job making me believe he does. However, your brilliant wit and user name won out in this instance (and probably invoked a sigh of relief from Tryp). Regardless, whatever you share with me - positive or negative - it is understood that your input is limited to that of an observer which affords me the opportunity to contemplate and hopefully make a proper decision so that I don't ever become a green praying mantis.

I will try to take your advice, and I hope he does too.
Anyhow, my main reason for posting this here is just to clarify that the "thank you" I just gave you was not meant ironically.

…see if you can see an appropriate DYK for Anti urination devices in Norwich. I normally treat DYK with the disdain it deserves, but this one seems tailor-made for it.

Norwich had a particular problem as its medieval core wasn't redeveloped in the 19th century so it had a lot of twisting narrow alleys ideal for peeing in, its historic wealth meant that there were lots of architecturally sensitive buildings so urine damage couldn't just be ignored, while because so much of the city centre was in private hands it was difficult to find suitable places to put public toilets. You see these things in other cities as well where the same issues existed, such as Oxford, Bath and the unbombed parts of the City of London. (In places like Amsterdam's red light district, where huge crowds of drunks are still a serious issue, they're still installing modern variants; Cologne and San Francisco are experimenting with ultra-hydrophobic paint, but at over $100/m2 I doubt it will catch on.) Unfortunately, while there are lots of "hey, look at these things!" blogs from elsewhere, I can't find a reliable source discussing them in any context other than Norwich, thus we have an article about them in one particular city but not as an architectural element as a whole. (What I will say, is that now you're aware such things exist, whenever you walk through an area which mixes important civic buildings and either drunk college kids or a problem with homelessness you will start noticing them.) ‑ Iridescent 10:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Someone who eats at the same table is really the first, as in oldest, meaning, because that is just what the Latin words mean. In ancient Rome, a commensal was simply a dining-room guest. The so-called first meaning, which is the second in terms of age, is the biological meaning, which is a species that lives off the table scraps of another species. A non-working pet animal is a commensal in the latter sense as in living off your table scraps or off the table you set for them. A working animal, such as your watchdog or mousing cat or horse, is a mutual or cooperator, because the benefit is mutual. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

...the holidays are upon us and I noticed a lull in WP's level of fun activity, so I thought about ways to get us into the holiday spirit. Lo and behold I found the perfect elixir - simply open a discussion about WP:BATTLEGROUND to lighten-up our spirits and get everyone in the mood of giving rather than taking. I'll start with the philosophy of taking, as so many of us see it. I liken it to BOHICA but our PAGs describe it more along the line of: If another user behaves in an uncivil, uncooperative, or insulting manner, or even tries to harass or intimidate you, this does not give you an excuse to respond in kind.BOHICA Address only the factual points brought forward, ignoring the inappropriate comments,BOHICA or disregard that user entirely. If necessary, point out gentlyBOHICA that you think the comments might be considered uncivil, and make it clear that you want to move on and focus on the content issue. If a conflict continues to bother you, take advantage of Wikipedia's dispute resolution process. There are always users willing to mediate and arbitrate disputes between others.BOHICA According to WP's give and take philosophy, we shouldn't be taking from anyone...we should be giving...so this discussion is open to all the different ways we can give back.

That said, in the case of some of the excerpts you posted I am amenable to making changes. However this will have wait till later next week when I have returned from Mexico, where I'm at Wikimania right now. I just don't have the time or the resources right now. The DYK nom is being held open pending the resolution of the AfD, which I don't think will have happened by then, so there's no rush. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Sorry if this puzzled you; in retrospect I can see that to a reader not familiar with China it might need some explanation.
It's not unheard of, even today, for older men in China to keep caged songbirds as pets. In mornings they actually take them out, usually in the cages but sometimes (less so now) letting them fly around the city (they eventually return). That's what was happening there.
I'd love to be able to link that to the right article, or section, as a way of explaining it better. If I could but find it ... Daniel Case ( talk) 07:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you and your talk page stalkers EEng but I have a predicament I thought you could solve. Some background: I am working on an expansion for the Edith Roosevelt article; obviously, her husband is a significant part of her biography and will be mentioned more than a handful of times. How do I appropriately address Edith? First name or last name? If I use her last name, do I call Theodore by his first name to avoid confusion? Any help is appreciated.

In reply to: This is exactly the sort of thing I was afraid you were gonna go around doing when you posted at Talk:MOS. I'd like to hear a consensus of math-minded editors on this kind of thing before we go around systematically changing them.
Well, I'm a computer scientist and I think ⌈ and ⌉ are far easier to read than ⌈ and ⌉. These HTML entities are used extremely rarely - I wasn't sure they weren't misspelled and they only showed up in one article in my database scan. They appear lots and lots of times as ⌈ and ⌉, so it seems to me that there's already a clear consensus among mathy article editors, whether or not there's anything in the Manual of Style that says so.
I'm not currently making systematic changes to HTML entities that appear lots of times, like references to Greek letters. I'm waiting for the Manual of Style update before I put in a lot of work that might need to be reversed. Right now I'm going through a list of HTML entities that appear rarely, most of which are misspellings that cause breakage visible to readers. I don't think it's a good idea to revert edits on the theory that some other editor might disagree with them; if someone actually disagrees, let them speak for themselves. That's actually part of the point of what I'm doing in changing some rarely-used references to the characters themselves - a relatively small set of edits to see if there is actually any objection from the community. So far I haven't gotten any complaints. -- Beland ( talk) 08:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Your one-click archiver thing failed badly at WT:MOSPN; it didn't archive the threads, but just nuked them. May want to re-check our other uses of that. Something's going wrong with it. If it's not your work, should probably make a bug report. I checked both archive pages and teh threads did not appear there, nor was an /Archive 3 created.

Just so you have some background information. Although it is not relevant to the discussion as it is only an example, I thought you might find it interesting.
It is the gates as a symbol that are significant (not Sous-lieutenant Legros -- although he was one of several the major actors in the drama). Wellington picked the closing of the gates the most crucial act of any small group of Allied soldiers towards securing the Coalition victory. It is the closing of the gates that 200 years later are the subject of the new monument at Waterloo commemorating the Coalition victory. ( Closing the gates at Hougoumont 1815, Battle of Waterloo memorial unveiled by Prince Charles).

Regarding the query in your edit summary on The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the Baring-Gould commentary to NOBL describes "Lord St. Simon" as a "solecism," because St. Simon was a second son. But if that is so, it is a solecism that was perpetrated by Conan Doyle (or should I say Dr. Watson?) himself, and so we probably should feel comfortable leaving it.

Well, I noticed you received some very nice compliments from some members of Proj Med for doing something commendable, and because of that, I figured it elevated you to a level that I could trust your input regarding some warnings issued over a highly utilized cure for bashfulness. I thought it best to ask you directly rather than bother more important editors like Tryptofish and Doc James with such trivia, especially if there was no cause for alarm. Please watch the following video and let me know if you think there is any need for me to be concerned. [7]. Atsme 📞 📧 21:45, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
The Proj Med kudos are misleading, being based (most likely) on edit counts; I'm probably in the top N because of my 2000+ (no kidding) to a single article, Phineas Gage. Interestingly for your query, the remedy you're asking about has effects not entirely unlike those of the treatment Mr. Gage received i.e. an iron bar through the front of the brain, those effects including (to an extent not entirely clear) becoming a difficult person who can't make up his mind and stick to a plan. On the whole I think the "T" treatment is probably a better choice than that received by Mr. Gage.

Hello,
I apologize for reverting your edit over at "What Wikipedia is not" (diff
[9]). I am an experienced editor, but forays into policy and guideline pages are new to me - so I admit I was being rigid. Having looked over your user page and talk page I see that you are a very experienced editor and that you know what you are doing. So, in the future I think I will do the same for any editor who edits guideline and policy pages - before I revert with an intention to save the Universe and Wikipedia.
I also noticed that you are immersed in humor; so I hope you like the title of this section. As an aside, perhaps editors should ask why is there no guideline page that describes "What Wikipedia is too!" (as an argument that counters "is not").
OK. I know that sounds a little nonsensical.

It's happy hour, and I was refreshing my memory for intelligent jokes on your user page. Why? I dunno because most of them travel way beyond the thought processes of my happy hour companions (I drink alone)...BUT I came across the image of the green praying mantis WP:NPP, and paused for a moment of introspective...several seconds, in fact...and here I am. I cannot personally relate to the role of the green praying mantis....BUT...my concern is that I may inadvertently be one. My OCD would never allow forgiveness...so I'm here to consult (what I perceive to be) an expert in math and possibly even economics (which may be a stretch) - all the while not knowing how on earth I came to such a conclusion. I would normally indulge in a little hero worship by consulting Tryptofish, who may not know everything, but does an excellent job making me believe he does. However, your brilliant wit and user name won out in this instance (and probably invoked a sigh of relief from Tryp). Regardless, whatever you share with me - positive or negative - it is understood that your input is limited to that of an observer which affords me the opportunity to contemplate and hopefully make a proper decision so that I don't ever become a green praying mantis.

Norwich had a particular problem as its medieval core wasn't redeveloped in the 19th century so it had a lot of twisting narrow alleys ideal for peeing in, its historic wealth meant that there were lots of architecturally sensitive buildings so urine damage couldn't just be ignored, while because so much of the city centre was in private hands it was difficult to find suitable places to put public toilets. You see these things in other cities as well where the same issues existed, such as Oxford, Bath and the unbombed parts of the City of London. (In places like Amsterdam's red light district, where huge crowds of drunks are still a serious issue, they're still installing modern variants; Cologne and San Francisco are experimenting with ultra-hydrophobic paint, but at over $100/m2 I doubt it will catch on.) Unfortunately, while there are lots of "hey, look at these things!" blogs from elsewhere, I can't find a reliable source discussing them in any context other than Norwich, thus we have an article about them in one particular city but not as an architectural element as a whole. (What I will say, is that now you're aware such things exist, whenever you walk through an area which mixes important civic buildings and either drunk college kids or a problem with homelessness you will start noticing them.) ‑ Iridescent 10:44, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Someone who eats at the same table is really the first, as in oldest, meaning, because that is just what the Latin words mean. In ancient Rome, a commensal was simply a dining-room guest. The so-called first meaning, which is the second in terms of age, is the biological meaning, which is a species that lives off the table scraps of another species. A non-working pet animal is a commensal in the latter sense as in living off your table scraps or off the table you set for them. A working animal, such as your watchdog or mousing cat or horse, is a mutual or cooperator, because the benefit is mutual. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
