Hail oh MONGO. *I* understand rambleze. <looks proud> If you were talking about the Great Jumbo, that is to say. Maybe the journalism-of-the-future stuff? Link?
p.s. Actually, maybe you meant bishzilla when you said "his" ... not really sure zillas are gendered into just his-n-hers... and if so what exactly... uhhh nevermind.

I heard somewhere that you were offering to help fastrack a peer review of an article that might be ready to make the transition from GA to FA. We put in for a peer review on 4th amendment a while back, but no word so far.
If you have the time and the interest, would you take a look at it? I mostly work on getting articles from non-existant to stubs, so I'm not up on FA criteria. Your help most appreciated. -- HectorMoffet ( talk) 10:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi MONGO, thank you for your support for me on my RfB, but thank you more so for the kind words and trust you showed here.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something silly. |
You guys just had conflicting sources, technically both of you were right. I know it is easy to get pumped up when you are busy improving an article (and by all means, I think it is great to improve the article), however, you probably can dial back the abrasiveness just a notch when doing so.

Steelhead are both. And don't forget, we don't use Wikipedia as a reference. [3]. Have a good day. -- Winkelvi ● ✉ ✓ 11:34, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
Meh...above is from the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide article...which happened in the Steelhead neighborhood near Oso, Washington...so the sources say. Sources then say that the neighborhood is named for the Steelhead, a type of fish which used to be common in the river there. Steelhead is a name for an ocean going group of Rainbow trout...and the unknowing may incorrectly confuse some species of Salmon and Rainbow trout and call them both Steelhead as there are similar looking subspecies of ocean going Salmon and Rainbow trout that have silvery or steel colored heads...but the correct species that is a Steelhead is the Rainbow trout. It is not impossible that those that named the neighborhood area meant Salmon, but we don't know that, and since Steelhead is a Rainbow trout and not a species of Salmon, then we don't violate piping on [[Rainbow trout|salmon]] like that...because a salmon and a Rainbow trout are not the same thing. Trout and Salmon are similar and are members of the Family Salmonidae, but they aren't in the same genus even.-- MONGO 22:25, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

It is possible for YouTube to be a WP:RS, it's just extremely unlikely. The main thing to take into account is the provenance and the channel publishing it. In this case, the Zeitgeist video is published by a channel named "subversiveoptimism" which has no indication of being any kind of official or approved account. In fact, TZM has an official channel named TZMOfficialChannel, so if the video were found there, it would possibly be acceptable as a WP:SPS by TZM. But it's not, and so you're right in this case, the video is not a WP:RS. Thanks. Elizium23 ( talk) 00:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I explained where my notes are. None of you have replied to any of my points. I question how much consensus building can occur with people who don't seem to understand the material and who won't bother to do the research. The article Talk page already acknowledges this is a topic for which much is in dispute. If you haven't read the NIST reports yourself, or done the research, you should step aside. There is much more to be changed in this article. Just undoing what others have done without checking the facts yourself is doing no one a service. You need to co-operate on this. -- Jasne9 ( talk) 17:45, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Mongo, I suspect I am too involved in the Raynolds article to do the GAN with good conscience. I'll continue to help tweak it. However, I'd like to suggest that you propose to Powder River 1876 that he, she, they, it, whatever conduct the GAN. PR 1876 is a relatively inexperienced editor that I believe is showing some potential, especially on US military topics in the 19th century. I've been mentoring informally. I have no clue as to how PR 1876 might react to the request, but if couched in language that says reviewing an GAN is an excellent way to learn a lot about WP content and style guidelines, they might bite and I'll be there to help the process along. What do you think? Can we bring a newbie into the fold? -- Mike Cline ( talk) 19:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey MONGO, you're the most active and experienced editor I've come across in my short time on wikipedia, so I am asking you for help on an issue. I hope it is not too much trouble.

[6] That editor is doing exactly what he's supposed to do; he's calmly and reasonably discussing content changes on the article talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William F. Raynolds, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Veracruz, Mexico.

Mongo,
I keep undoing your edits to attempt to retain the user talk of the Katmai page because I myself deleted it long ago. Then I re-posted it later to edit some more for unnecessary reasons and then deleted it again. I did not mean to bring it back in the first place and the reason I did was for stupid reasons which I now regret. You trying to bring it back is simply unhelpful and does not flow well with me. The talk I had with the other Wikipedia users ended long ago and there is no reason to retain it. It just bloats the talkpage. And all three users, including me, who participated in the talk, explained all to each other what we wanted and we learned all we could know from it.
I am going to delete it one more time and I do not want you to bring it back. There is no reason to retain such talk unless it is still being continued. I did not mean to bring it back in the first place, have felt stupid for doing that, and do not want you to continue that problem by reverting my edits.

Arctic sea ice decline? Rose's article in the Mail is, like most things scientific in the Mail, complete crap. Trying to rescue it by quoting Gore's NPP acceptance speech out of context (note that the very sentence before the one you choose gives him 15 more years, and even that is qualified with "one study" and "could") and then adding editorialising (and wrong) judgements to it ist not, in my opinion, the best thing to do.

Hey Mongo. I just noticed the drama that occurred with the "new" user Patrol Forty. Like you, many and myself knew they had a previous account. They way this character wrote they wall text, have a vast majority of contributions outside article space and just basically harassing any user who disagreed with them all was familiar. I was involved with an AfD for HMS Richmond helicopter crash with the suspicious editor and that editor's subsequent pointy DRV in which all editors unanimously rejected with Patrol Forty throwing thousands of bites of text to the bitter end.
By accident I came across an old AfD for FedEx Express Flight 647 in which there was remarkably similar language and badgering from the banned User:MickMacNee. After the AfD didn't go his way, he created an almost identical pointy DRV with all editors unanimously rejecting and he presented the same long winded thousands of bites of attitude to those who disagreed with him even when the DRV was clearly being rejected! - Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 December 16.
MickMacNee had identical tone, a vast majority of contributions outside article space and even left long-winded harranging comment's on Jimbo's talk page. Some evidence as to what led to his banning here: Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/MickMacNee.

Since, I guess at least part of your objection to my edits might be due to misinterpretation of my motives, and possibly viewing me as an advocate for some repulsive behavior/people, which I'm definitely not, I added some information about myself and why I have currently been editing only these certain topics on my user page for anyone who might be questioning my good faith. Please, check it out. I don't want anyone to take me for as something I'm not. I also added some material as an attempt to answer one of the questions you asked on AWA talk page and to show that my views are not coming out from nowhere.

Hey MONGO, you're in WP:9/11, did you ever see this in the Al-Qaeda#Sudan,

The tag says to remove it if the page hasn't been edited for at least 24 hours, and I couldn't help noticing that the only editing you've done to the page (lately, at least) is to remove the tag.

( ←) I have nothing to do with the article outside of my position as lead coordinator of the Guild of Copy Editors. A copyedit was requested on the GOCE requests page; when a copyeditor tried to work on it (adding {{ GOCEinuse}} to minimize the chance of edit conflicts), you removed the tag and they gave up. AHeneen wants to bring it to A-Class, which is commendable (and a copyedit would help). Since I'm repeating myself, though, I'm done here. Mini apolis 14:41, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status.

I regret seeing this but I can't say I'm surprised. Civility and positive discrimination lunacy are increasingly in charge of this asylum, the noise ratio is increasing, and the proven content creators are being wheedled out by a wave of do-gooder idiocy. Obviously, all of this means that the amount of crap content is also rising disproportionately and the purpose of the project is becoming so skewed as to be unrecognisable.
It feels as if we are succeeding neither at recruiting, retaining or rewarding, and that is a massive fail for a volunteer project. Of course, we're doing all three quite well among the hippy staffers in SanFran, recent changes in the Engineering dept. being the notable but justified exception.

Meh...above is from the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide article...which happened in the Steelhead neighborhood near Oso, Washington...so the sources say. Sources then say that the neighborhood is named for the Steelhead, a type of fish which used to be common in the river there. Steelhead is a name for an ocean going group of Rainbow trout...and the unknowing may incorrectly confuse some species of Salmon and Rainbow trout and call them both Steelhead as there are similar looking subspecies of ocean going Salmon and Rainbow trout that have silvery or steel colored heads...but the correct species that is a Steelhead is the Rainbow trout. It is not impossible that those that named the neighborhood area meant Salmon, but we don't know that, and since Steelhead is a Rainbow trout and not a species of Salmon, then we don't violate piping on [[Rainbow trout|salmon]] like that...because a salmon and a Rainbow trout are not the same thing. Trout and Salmon are similar and are members of the Family Salmonidae, but they aren't in the same genus even.-- MONGO 22:25, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

It is possible for YouTube to be a WP:RS, it's just extremely unlikely. The main thing to take into account is the provenance and the channel publishing it. In this case, the Zeitgeist video is published by a channel named "subversiveoptimism" which has no indication of being any kind of official or approved account. In fact, TZM has an official channel named TZMOfficialChannel, so if the video were found there, it would possibly be acceptable as a WP:SPS by TZM. But it's not, and so you're right in this case, the video is not a WP:RS. Thanks. Elizium23 ( talk) 00:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I explained where my notes are. None of you have replied to any of my points. I question how much consensus building can occur with people who don't seem to understand the material and who won't bother to do the research. The article Talk page already acknowledges this is a topic for which much is in dispute. If you haven't read the NIST reports yourself, or done the research, you should step aside. There is much more to be changed in this article. Just undoing what others have done without checking the facts yourself is doing no one a service.

Mongo, I suspect I am too involved in the Raynolds article to do the GAN with good conscience. I'll continue to help tweak it. However, I'd like to suggest that you propose to Powder River 1876 that he, she, they, it, whatever conduct the GAN. PR 1876 is a relatively inexperienced editor that I believe is showing some potential, especially on US military topics in the 19th century. I've been mentoring informally. I have no clue as to how PR 1876 might react to the request, but if couched in language that says reviewing an GAN is an excellent way to learn a lot about WP content and style guidelines, they might bite and I'll be there to help the process along.

Mongo,
I keep undoing your edits to attempt to retain the user talk of the Katmai page because I myself deleted it long ago. Then I re-posted it later to edit some more for unnecessary reasons and then deleted it again. I did not mean to bring it back in the first place and the reason I did was for stupid reasons which I now regret. You trying to bring it back is simply unhelpful and does not flow well with me. The talk I had with the other Wikipedia users ended long ago and there is no reason to retain it. It just bloats the talkpage. And all three users, including me, who participated in the talk, explained all to each other what we wanted and we learned all we could know from it.
I am going to delete it one more time and I do not want you to bring it back. There is no reason to retain such talk unless it is still being continued. I did not mean to bring it back in the first place, have felt stupid for doing that, and do not want you to continue that problem by reverting my edits.

Hey Mongo. I just noticed the drama that occurred with the "new" user Patrol Forty. Like you, many and myself knew they had a previous account. They way this character wrote they wall text, have a vast majority of contributions outside article space and just basically harassing any user who disagreed with them all was familiar. I was involved with an AfD for HMS Richmond helicopter crash with the suspicious editor and that editor's subsequent pointy DRV in which all editors unanimously rejected with Patrol Forty throwing thousands of bites of text to the bitter end.
By accident I came across an old AfD for FedEx Express Flight 647 in which there was remarkably similar language and badgering from the banned User:MickMacNee. After the AfD didn't go his way, he created an almost identical pointy DRV with all editors unanimously rejecting and he presented the same long winded thousands of bites of attitude to those who disagreed with him even when the DRV was clearly being rejected! - Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 December 16.

There's a civil disagreement going on at Talk:Ulysses S. Grant surrounding Grant's role, if any, in the founding of Yellowstone Park. Given your long editing history of related subjects, I wonder if you are aware of sources which may illuminate the discussion. Any assistance or guidance may prove useful. Thanks.

Hi Mongo, I'm trying to make a series of articles documenting important geographical features (rivers, mountains, ranges, escarpments, etc.) in northern Kenya. I'm not sure though how to make maps that will place a dot or triangle on the coordinate I specify. Do you know how I should proceed with this? For instance at Loriu Plateau the triangle is not appearing on the map where I specified in the info box text (should be 1.3N, is instead 1.18N). Any help is appreciated! - Darouet ( talk) 03:39, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
I suspect this one might be a bit contentious at FAC as it was at GA. However, that said, I may start to get my ducks in line and subject it to a peer review to see where that takes us. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 16:59, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above.
1. Collect is banned from any page relating to or making any edit about US politics or US political figures, in any namespace. This ban may be appealed no earlier than 18 months after its adoption.
2. Collect is indefinitely limited to one revert per article in any 24 hour period. This restriction excepts the reversal of unambiguous vandalism.
For the committee, Robert McClenon ( talk) 01:48, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Re this, I know it is by a banned user, but the point seems valid. Should it not be allowed to stand? Or 'accepted' by a user in good standing? (I would not regard myself as in 'good standing' given only recently returned , but surely someone could do this). Peter Damian ( talk) 09:14, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Following the closure of a recent RfC you participated in, I have started an RfC on the separate but related issue of commas after Jr. and Sr..

YEAH! MONGO like beer! Many many thanks Mr. Irondome! Most brands MONGO not familiar with...used to home recipe made from dandelions and wild grass along with secret woodsy stuff! Mighty Bishzilla may be partial to brand in center called "Spitfire"...sounds potent! Never fear Mr. BusterD, MONGO can share one or perhaps two!-- MONGO 16:40, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

In advance of FAC, a peer review is underway for Wikipedia:Peer review/Montana Vigilantes/archive1 All help appreciated. -- Mike Cline ( talk) 14:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.
Thanks for your help! Maralia ( talk) 04:13, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Civility has apparently taken over from edit warring as a way to get rid of editors, and it apparently works quite well. I always thought the purpose of WP was to build an encyclopedia, not cry about someone that made you sad. Sorry that you got caught up in the crap storm. Arzel ( talk) 14:00, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
I regret seeing this but I can't say I'm surprised. Civility and positive discrimination lunacy are increasingly in charge of this asylum, the noise ratio is increasing, and the proven content creators are being wheedled out by a wave of do-gooder idiocy. Obviously, all of this means that the amount of crap content is also rising disproportionately and the purpose of the project is becoming so skewed as to be unrecognisable.
It feels as if we are succeeding neither at recruiting, retaining or rewarding, and that is a massive fail for a volunteer project. Of course, we're doing all three quite well among the hippy staffers in SanFran, recent changes in the Engineering dept. being the notable but justified exception. The next Manchester wikimeet should be held here as a symbol of the downward spiral.
So, sorry to see you go but, yes, I'm not surprised. - Sitush ( talk) 01:44, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
