Hi. It's looks like that you are one of the " Feminist views on transgender and transsexual people"'s most active editor. I tried to put Feminists with anti-transsexualism believes that documented in that page in a category but someone accused me of " disparaging categorization that's incompatible with BLP sandards, and removed it from every article where the subject hasn't self-identified". What's Your Idea. Is it inappropriate or BLP violation? P. Pajouhesh ( talk) 12:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Our editing paths haven't crossed in a long time. I'm glad to have found you again today, mainly because I like you in general, but specifically in the article Khatun: Following on what your userpage says about Library of Congress romanization—my recent edits there were all entered strictly according to ALA-LC. Thank you for linking the words to Wiktionary. For some obscure but unfortunate reason, Wiktionary has chosen a different romanization system. I like to edit Wiktionary too, and I use it heavily every day, but I swear the strange ways they have chosen to do things over there is something I'm still trying to get used to. I'm just going to switch Khatun back to ALA-LC and pipe the links, OK? Johanna-Hypatia ( talk) 23:16, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

@ Johanna-Hypatia: Yeah I'm pretty annoyed rn because it's a ton of work. I also feel like it should be reported somewhere as a longer-term pattern of IP-hopping socks since it's been at least 2 years in the making. I don't really know how to do that, though.
Hey there, thanks for the note. I've put a 24h block on the vandal, hopefully they will get the hint. In terms of reverting everything, it's a tricky thing, you can go thru all of their contributions and ensure the changes were reverted - I'm not aware of a one click solution unfortunately.

For most purposes, ا ب ج د are NOT the first four letters of the Arabic alphabet, as discussed in detail in the article itself. Your version makes it seem like Arabic derives from itself... AnonMoos ( talk) 22:15, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
The original abjadī order (أَبْجَدِي), used for lettering, derives from the order of the Phoenician alphabet, and is therefore similar to the order of other Phoenician-derived alphabets, such as the Hebrew alphabet. In this order, letters are also used as numbers, Abjad numerals, and possess the same alphanumeric code/cipher as Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy.
Hello, Ogress. I have a couple of questions about your modification of a couple of my edits in the article
Cezve.
1. You advised me to use reftag.appspot.com in place of "raw google book links", and I understand the virtue of minimizing the coding, but I had used the link as I'd written it (
my link to google book ref) in order to feature the highlighting of the word in question which is "rakwa". Do you happen to know what code I can use after the "&pg=PT46" in order to highlight the word? I tried "&pg=PT46&q=rakwa", but that resulted in a sort of "snippet" view and didn't give the full page.
2. As far as the reference to the Steingass dictionary entry goes, I realize I shouldn't have given the reference directly to the book, as it really went to the online version of it. Your new link just links to the google books and doesn't show the information about the word "ibriq". With your permission, may I change the citation to something like Online database for Steingass's A Comprehensive Persian-English Dictionary -- "ibrīk" in order show the information about the word? Thank you for your attention and your help.-- Akhooha ( talk) 02:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I have appended a discussion of the merits of my expansion of Derzelas with ethnographical associations and related visual materials see Talk:Derzelas. The Twinkle revert seems overly cautious
What facts, as added, do you dispute as Uncited, WP:FRINGE, bad cites since all are linked to other Wikipedia pages where possible, or supported by good faith "ref" tags to GoogleBooks cites and other suitable resources available online? The semiosography of attributes of ancient deities is perhaps contested in academic circles, with controversial implications for contemporary religious observations, however as a non-academic I simply wish to make the case that the figure of Derzalas has a fascinating provenance with many rich cultural ramifications for contemporary affairs, in particular the heritage of interactions along the Silk road with protoIndoIranian languages and Aramaic monotheism as evidenced in the Russian ethnographer's famous account of his native Manchurian guide. Pls advise how to proceed to retain as much as feasible of the new material added MrsKrishan ( talk) 08:20, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
The deity Elagabalus was initially venerated at Emesa. This form of the god's name is a Latinized version of the Syrian Ilāh hag-Gabal, which derives from Ilāh (a Semitic word for "god") and gabal (an Aramaic word for "mountain"), resulting in "the God of the Mountain," the Emesene manifestation of the deity. [1]
The linguistic connections are no mere tenuous supposition on my part: Edessa in Syria is derived from Odessa in Macedonia, Perso-Hellenized cultic practices replacing more ancient Semitic cults associated with Abrahamic montheism in Muslim tradition, see present day Sanliurfa. I appreciate you making time for discussion and working to keep Wikipedia the great resource for advancing human understanding and promoting peace.

Hi. That Rasta Rabbit really lost it today. You did some great work on Sheba, hope he doesn't come back and remove parts of it. I'm not a big fan of committees and boards, but some people can't even read a simple text and they should be kept off editing anything other than their own blog. Just getting it off my soul.

Naia (skeleton) - which really needs renaming. I've had to ask for semi-protection but hopefully I'll get it. Doug Weller talk 19:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
You added text regarding 'chivalry' and Mamluks. One added paragraph I believe claimed too much in regard to fertilisation.
Can you check the timing of evolution of 'chivalry' within the Mamluks vis-a-vis within the Europeans? For instance, if the Crusades were the most significant encounter between these two warrior classes, but didn't happen until near 12th century, how did the Mamluks influence the development of chivalry in the immediately preceding years? Even if the encounter might foster transfer of ideas, such ideas are not usually adopted wholesale in the homeland in near real-time.
I think these are parallel developments, not sequential. Though I do note the section Medieval literature and the influence of the Moors and Romans makes arguments for 'influence' on the background of chivalry. But connecting the supposed influence through Spain, with the Mamluks seems to be a stretch of a couple thousand miles and compression of many decades? Shenme ( talk) 01:07, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
I've noticed you've reverted some of my edits for this page as well as information from other editors in the past.
The Chinese names accompanying the List of Changkya Khutukhtu were provided by another editor. It has been there for quite awhile. The Changkya Khutukhtu is basically Mongolian and they had close relationships with China from the Qing dynasty period (1644-1911) and even during the Republican period (1911- present). Therefore many followers of Gelugpa in China (esp. Ethnic Manchus) know them through their Chinese names even today. I think the names should be kept for informational/encyclopedic aims.
Regarding the list of claimed previous incarnations, there was originally an uncited list from 2014 of previous incarnations. I looked for the source of that list and traced it to several other different language Wikipedia articles but all of them were uncited. What I have provided is a list from Foguangshan Buddhist Dictionary (maintained in Taiwan) which paraphrased it from a book authored by a Chinese Buddhist Monastic entitled History of Buddhism in Mongolia and Tibet (5th Edition); so your original complaint of an uncited source since 2014 is no longer true. Are you questioning the reliabilty of the article from Foguangshan Dictionary? Or are you questioning the reliabilty of the list period (i.e. ahistorical list)? If it has been accepted through tradition, I think you should keep one of the two lists. The only difficulty is finding a source to cite it from. What do you think?

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern working with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please reply to this message or email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview. .

Congratulations. You fucked up. In a form of digital hubris, you rendered a formerly readable and useful Wikipedia article into kaka mush. The digital hubris is the assumption (usually made by young, thoughtless, inexperienced software developers) that what you see on your computer screen must be the universal norm. Sorry, you're wrong.
I'm referring to your recent changes of
"Revision as of 02:40, 1 July 2018" to the "
Ancient Egyptian concept of the soul" article. In that revision you replaced very readable English-like words for the (presumably) more correct Egyptology versions, which are both unpronounceable and require some specialized characters from some unspecified font. To wit: your substitutions for Ba and Ka (even in section headers) do not display correctly on my computer screen. Instead I see the letter B or K followed by a square box, my browser's way of saying "undisplayable character". I thought I was armed with Unicode font stuff so my computer could show me multinational crap up to and including Klingon. So your edits confound me, I have no way of knowing what the hell is going on. It is possible I'm not as Unicode-armored as I thought I was, or else you're dealing in digerati chicanery/arcanery. In any case, I'm not fixing it, I thought I would rudely point out how fucked up your edit was. Cheers. You should fix it. Please.
I also object to your replacing reasonably pronounceable English-like words in the article with Specialist Gibberish. But, even though it (the Specialized Gibberish) requires special weird characters and is highly unpronounceable, it is still displayable and viewable on my computer screen. Thus, I have less issue with those changes, they are not fuck-ups. However, I still think those changes you made were wrong, you could have achieved a better effect by placing the unpronounceable Egyptology words in parentheses after their English equivalents -- after all, this is the English version of Wikipedia. I would equally object to you renaming the Wikipedia article "Germany" to "Deutschland" just because you felt the latter is the way all good German authors refer to their country. But this issue I will take up with the higher authorities/experts at Wikipedia and will seek to reverse your Egyptology-correctness edits. Undisplayable is unforgivable. Wrong-headed "correctness" is mere dispute.
On a lighter note, in Magic the Gathering, the card game, the Hasran Ogress is one of my favorite cards. When I was new to the game and ignorant, I thought she was kinda ugly and not that valuable. In truth, she kicks ass. I have built decks around her brute power. Whenever I play her during a game, I call her my girlfriend. Apropos of nothing, but your name reminded me.

FYI... Natal was a province in South Africa when the species was originally described. I’m guessing you thought it referred to the adjective, which is an understandable mistake, since the province was merged into KwaZulu-Natal in 1994.

Hi Ogress,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 04:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi. It's looks like that you are one of the " Feminist views on transgender and transsexual people"'s most active editor. I tried to put Feminists with anti-transsexualism believes that documented in that page in a category but someone accused me of " disparaging categorization that's incompatible with BLP sandards, and removed it from every article where the subject hasn't self-identified". What's Your Idea. Is it inappropriate or BLP violation? P. Pajouhesh ( talk) 12:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Our editing paths haven't crossed in a long time. I'm glad to have found you again today, mainly because I like you in general, but specifically in the article Khatun: Following on what your userpage says about Library of Congress romanization—my recent edits there were all entered strictly according to ALA-LC. Thank you for linking the words to Wiktionary. For some obscure but unfortunate reason, Wiktionary has chosen a different romanization system. I like to edit Wiktionary too, and I use it heavily every day, but I swear the strange ways they have chosen to do things over there is something I'm still trying to get used to. I'm just going to switch Khatun back to ALA-LC and pipe the links, OK? Johanna-Hypatia ( talk) 23:16, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

@ Johanna-Hypatia: Yeah I'm pretty annoyed rn because it's a ton of work. I also feel like it should be reported somewhere as a longer-term pattern of IP-hopping socks since it's been at least 2 years in the making. I don't really know how to do that, though.
Hey there, thanks for the note. I've put a 24h block on the vandal, hopefully they will get the hint.

For most purposes, ا ب ج د are NOT the first four letters of the Arabic alphabet, as discussed in detail in the article itself. Your version makes it seem like Arabic derives from itself... AnonMoos ( talk) 22:15, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
The original abjadī order (أَبْجَدِي), used for lettering, derives from the order of the Phoenician alphabet, and is therefore similar to the order of other Phoenician-derived alphabets, such as the Hebrew alphabet. In this order, letters are also used as numbers, Abjad numerals, and possess the same alphanumeric code/cipher as Hebrew gematria and Greek isopsephy.
Hello, Ogress. I have a couple of questions about your modification of a couple of my edits in the article
Cezve.
1. You advised me to use reftag.appspot.com in place of "raw google book links", and I understand the virtue of minimizing the coding, but I had used the link as I'd written it (
my link to google book ref) in order to feature the highlighting of the word in question which is "rakwa". Do you happen to know what code I can use after the "&pg=PT46" in order to highlight the word? I tried "&pg=PT46&q=rakwa", but that resulted in a sort of "snippet" view and didn't give the full page.
2. As far as the reference to the Steingass dictionary entry goes, I realize I shouldn't have given the reference directly to the book, as it really went to the online version of it. Your new link just links to the google books and doesn't show the information about the word "ibriq". With your permission, may I change the citation to something like Online database for Steingass's A Comprehensive Persian-English Dictionary -- "ibrīk" in order show the information about the word? Thank you for your attention and your help.-- Akhooha ( talk) 02:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I have appended a discussion of the merits of my expansion of Derzelas with ethnographical associations and related visual materials see Talk:Derzelas. The Twinkle revert seems overly cautious
What facts, as added, do you dispute as Uncited, WP:FRINGE, bad cites since all are linked to other Wikipedia pages where possible, or supported by good faith "ref" tags to GoogleBooks cites and other suitable resources available online? The semiosography of attributes of ancient deities is perhaps contested in academic circles, with controversial implications for contemporary religious observations, however as a non-academic I simply wish to make the case that the figure of Derzalas has a fascinating provenance with many rich cultural ramifications for contemporary affairs, in particular the heritage of interactions along the Silk road with protoIndoIranian languages and Aramaic monotheism as evidenced in the Russian ethnographer's famous account of his native Manchurian guide. Pls advise how to proceed to retain as much as feasible of the new material added MrsKrishan ( talk) 08:20, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
The deity Elagabalus was initially venerated at Emesa. This form of the god's name is a Latinized version of the Syrian Ilāh hag-Gabal, which derives from Ilāh (a Semitic word for "god") and gabal (an Aramaic word for "mountain"), resulting in "the God of the Mountain," the Emesene manifestation of the deity. [1]
The linguistic connections are no mere tenuous supposition on my part: Edessa in Syria is derived from Odessa in Macedonia, Perso-Hellenized cultic practices replacing more ancient Semitic cults associated with Abrahamic montheism in Muslim tradition, see present day Sanliurfa. I appreciate you making time for discussion and working to keep Wikipedia the great resource for advancing human understanding and promoting peace.

Naia (skeleton) - which really needs renaming. I've had to ask for semi-protection but hopefully I'll get it. Doug Weller talk 19:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
You added text regarding 'chivalry' and Mamluks. One added paragraph I believe claimed too much in regard to fertilisation.
Can you check the timing of evolution of 'chivalry' within the Mamluks vis-a-vis within the Europeans? For instance, if the Crusades were the most significant encounter between these two warrior classes, but didn't happen until near 12th century, how did the Mamluks influence the development of chivalry in the immediately preceding years? Even if the encounter might foster transfer of ideas, such ideas are not usually adopted wholesale in the homeland in near real-time.
I think these are parallel developments, not sequential. Though I do note the section Medieval literature and the influence of the Moors and Romans makes arguments for 'influence' on the background of chivalry. But connecting the supposed influence through Spain, with the Mamluks seems to be a stretch of a couple thousand miles and compression of many decades? Shenme ( talk) 01:07, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
I've noticed you've reverted some of my edits for this page as well as information from other editors in the past.
The Chinese names accompanying the List of Changkya Khutukhtu were provided by another editor. It has been there for quite awhile. The Changkya Khutukhtu is basically Mongolian and they had close relationships with China from the Qing dynasty period (1644-1911) and even during the Republican period (1911- present). Therefore many followers of Gelugpa in China (esp. Ethnic Manchus) know them through their Chinese names even today. I think the names should be kept for informational/encyclopedic aims.
Regarding the list of claimed previous incarnations, there was originally an uncited list from 2014 of previous incarnations. I looked for the source of that list and traced it to several other different language Wikipedia articles but all of them were uncited. What I have provided is a list from Foguangshan Buddhist Dictionary (maintained in Taiwan) which paraphrased it from a book authored by a Chinese Buddhist Monastic entitled History of Buddhism in Mongolia and Tibet (5th Edition); so your original complaint of an uncited source since 2014 is no longer true. Are you questioning the reliabilty of the article from Foguangshan Dictionary? Or are you questioning the reliabilty of the list period (i.e. ahistorical list)? If it has been accepted through tradition, I think you should keep one of the two lists. The only difficulty is finding a source to cite it from. What do you think?

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern working with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please reply to this message or email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview. .

Congratulations. You fucked up. In a form of digital hubris, you rendered a formerly readable and useful Wikipedia article into kaka mush. The digital hubris is the assumption (usually made by young, thoughtless, inexperienced software developers) that what you see on your computer screen must be the universal norm. Sorry, you're wrong.
I'm referring to your recent changes of
"Revision as of 02:40, 1 July 2018" to the "
Ancient Egyptian concept of the soul" article. In that revision you replaced very readable English-like words for the (presumably) more correct Egyptology versions, which are both unpronounceable and require some specialized characters from some unspecified font. To wit: your substitutions for Ba and Ka (even in section headers) do not display correctly on my computer screen. Instead I see the letter B or K followed by a square box, my browser's way of saying "undisplayable character". I thought I was armed with Unicode font stuff so my computer could show me multinational crap up to and including Klingon. So your edits confound me, I have no way of knowing what the hell is going on. It is possible I'm not as Unicode-armored as I thought I was, or else you're dealing in digerati chicanery/arcanery. In any case, I'm not fixing it, I thought I would rudely point out how fucked up your edit was. Cheers. You should fix it. Please.
I also object to your replacing reasonably pronounceable English-like words in the article with Specialist Gibberish. But, even though it (the Specialized Gibberish) requires special weird characters and is highly unpronounceable, it is still displayable and viewable on my computer screen. Thus, I have less issue with those changes, they are not fuck-ups. However, I still think those changes you made were wrong, you could have achieved a better effect by placing the unpronounceable Egyptology words in parentheses after their English equivalents -- after all, this is the English version of Wikipedia. I would equally object to you renaming the Wikipedia article "Germany" to "Deutschland" just because you felt the latter is the way all good German authors refer to their country. But this issue I will take up with the higher authorities/experts at Wikipedia and will seek to reverse your Egyptology-correctness edits. Undisplayable is unforgivable. Wrong-headed "correctness" is mere dispute.
On a lighter note, in Magic the Gathering, the card game, the Hasran Ogress is one of my favorite cards. When I was new to the game and ignorant, I thought she was kinda ugly and not that valuable. In truth, she kicks ass. I have built decks around her brute power. Whenever I play her during a game, I call her my girlfriend. Apropos of nothing, but your name reminded me.

FYI... Natal was a province in South Africa when the species was originally described. I’m guessing you thought it referred to the adjective, which is an understandable mistake, since the province was merged into KwaZulu-Natal in 1994.

Hi Ogress,
I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!
And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.
Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 04:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
