I uploaded a heap of my own pics of various markings, colours etc.
I have no idea how to show you where they are! ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:04, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Someone showed me :o)
There they are! Have fun with them. ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Oops ..... no categories :-( Do you want to play with those, or can you tell me how to do it? I'm far too novice on here! ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Bless you for catting them! I am still far too much of a newbie on here, but I'm sure I'll catch on someday :o) Most of them are either pure-bred or part-bred Foresters (and several of them are mine, as they're the ones I can get closest too, most often). Bless you even more - you've inspired me with a reason to take some 'me time' and go out on the Forest colour-and-markings hunting for some more good pics. The frosty rabicano is one I came across regularly some years ago whilst hunting for my gelding (the flaxen chestnut who also donated the leg-markings and hair whorls pics). It took three days of walking (cold, wet, exhausted) to locate him to bring him home, even though we knew he'd likely be within a mile of the centre-point of his 'haunt'. Finding your pony, who runs free on several thousand hectares of Forest with loads of cool hiding places, is a lot more problematical than finding him in his own field at home! What did you think of that striking dun-appy foal? I know where a good blue-dun-tobiano usually hangs out ..... if I can find her, I will get some pics for you. We have some amazing combinations out here on the Forest; my chestnut (Sunny) has evidence of sooty, rabicano, pangare, sabino-type and splash-type white markings, as well as his more obvious chestnut and flaxen. And we have some really nice rabicanos - skunk-tails, coon-tails, frosty rump-mantles, topline frosting, and some seriously cool rabicano-classic hybrids who show up with lovely marbling effects on their coats.

We have someone who knows the topic trying to clean up Camargue (horse), but their English is not great. My French is confined to about 20 words so I'm not sure my cleanup of their cleanup has the nuance right. But you know a smattering of French, so maybe could you trot over there and see if we are making a royal mess of things? Or help make the mes even worse? Or something? Merci!

Oooohhh, multiple between-languages-translations! I can't remember the third language involved, but the first two were English and Russian, and the phrase was "Out of sight, out of mind," ...... and it came back after going the other way as "Invisible idiot."

Hey there Pitke! I created a cat for Dartmoor Hill Ponies over in Commons, and sorted through some of the 'Dartmoor Pony' pics to put them in the right place. Someone undid one of my moves almost as I was doing it, saying there was no such thing as a Dartmoor Hill Pony, so I bunged a brief explanation plus links to both the Dartmoor Pony Society and the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association onto the talk page for each pic I moved. I'm just going to nip over there and see if they've all stayed put, or whether some of them have strayed back out of their paddock and got over into the wrong place again, lol!(btw, this is still Pippa here, I just went incognito on the name :-) ) ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 10:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC))
Hey there, I still can't work out how to add a cat to an existing pic!
File:ChestnutNFxTB.jpg wants to be categorised as non-NF ponies running the Forest - could you please do that for me? ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 04:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC))
Hey Pitke, thanks for the crop on the KimBERwick photo (grin, I know, just being an annoying Yankee). Question, though: Seems like you do a lot of images in .png format, which seems to be a lot larger, slower to open and more apt to be quirky on some browsers. (definitely can be a problem for me when I'm working at home on the old dialup...) Just wondering if there was a logical reason you're doing that -- my understanding is that wiki-world likes photos to be .jpg and save .png for things like maps and diagrams. Not a mortal sin, just inquiring. Montanabw (talk) 03:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pitke, You could kill a couple of redlinks by creating short stub or start-class articles. Scandinavian Coldblood would be my first pick -- that's a type including several breeds, yes?? Maybe some other related terms too. Just a thought. Montanabw (talk) 22:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Heya, Montana thought you ought to come play in the nice sandbox and see if you can help out, come up with some seriously cool pics, and so on. It would be nice to see you over there :o) ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 05:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Ping! Do you have any spare time to come play? I have found a few pics, but they aren't set in stone, and I'm sure you could find better ones. Ideally I'd like to have one pic for each four-to-five inches of screen-length, without making it too pic-heavy. And any input you feel happy to provide on the rest of it, of course, will be more than welcome. ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 10:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
You're back! We had some drive-by editor (a long time one, but not active on WPEQ) trying to change all the refs in Finnhorse to harvb format for some obscure reason, in doing so screwed up a bunch of stuff, which was reverted, then tried a less dramatic approach, but it still was weird, I reverted him and he got kind of upset at me. Anyway, Dana and I were trying to protect the article in your absence, but maybe this guy did have a legitimate issue, I don't know. So, go check out the talk page and if there are any legitimate suggestions, I told this editor that you ought to be the one who does the fixes, if any are necessary, so they don't get screwed up. I'd be glad to help, but only if I actually know what I'm doing. In the mean time, thanks for being you over at Gypsy Vanner! Montanabw (talk) 04:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Harness racing in Finland at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Schwede 66 18:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
On 18 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Harness racing in Finland, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that until 1959, the Finnhorse was the only horse breed allowed to be raced in Finland? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Congrats on the GA! Great job! Montanabw (talk) 18:34, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
One Hook idea: "DYK that the champion harness racing Finnhorse Eri-Aaroni had his racing career cut short due to Finland's conflicts with the Soviet Union during the Winter War and the Continuation War, but still sold in 1946 for the equivalent of 680,000 Euros, the highest price ever paid for a horse in Finland? " You might need to tweak that a bit and make sure it is the proper length, all sourced, etc., but I think it will work for English readers. The suffering-and-triumph stuff is always good. Montanabw (talk) 04:40, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Pitke, thanks for whatever fix you made to whatever strange edit happened on the Eri-Aaroni article. I've noticed lately that when I'm editing from home, where all I have is an old dialup that is really slow, I sometimes have had some really bizarre editing things happen, like the same edit going up three times or half of it disappearing entirely. (editing portal horses last night was one of them and whatever happened to Eri-Aaroni was another.) Not sure why this occurs, but just letting you know it's not deliberate. One of these years, when I get around to it, we will upgrade to wireless at home, but it's a PITA due to the upfront costs for the equipment (still way cheaper than going to satellite dish, the only other option), and we keep hoping that the durn doggone cable company will someday be arsed to run broadband down the last two miles of country road. But they probably won't, I've been bugging them for five years now... Sigh. Montanabw (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

There is no template named {{ Prettytable}} on this wikipedia. So, when you included it (before I removed it here), it added to the transclusions of this missing template, and caused it to appear in Wikipedia:Database_reports/Transclusions_of_deleted_templates/1. I believe you will find that my edits did not change the appearance, but just removed a completely useless invocation of a missing template. Thank you. Frietjes ( talk) 21:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
On 4 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eri-Aaroni, which you created or substantially expanded.

If you had some time, we would much appreciate it if you would stop by, take a look, and let us know if you have any comments.

Hi Pitke - I see that a bunch of your major links have gone dead in Finnhorse. I started trying to repair them, but the security program on my computer starting complaining about the website - not sure why. Since as a Finnish speaker I'm sure you have a better idea of what's happening on that website than I do, are you able to repair the links? If so, it would be awesome - the less articles with cleanup tags the better! Dana boomer ( talk) 02:06, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

I restored Tovero and Overo over at commons, long story, but short version is that they are legitimate terms of art. I'd like to see them kept, I'm not great at commons categorization, but basically, until we have a DNA test for splash and have figured ut all the variants of sabino, including if one form of splash is the same as one form of sabino, there will always be a need for "overo." I have no real problem with the other "multiply spotted" cats other than being clunky and awkward, but I think there is a place for official terminology - even if it's "just American" -- after all, we are the ones doing most of the color genetic research and have the biggest obsession with spots -- and the most spotty horses!

Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 23:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello Pitke, I am writing to you in order to enlist your help in creating an article for what I believe is one of the world’s most consequential writers of the past decade—but whom no one knows who they are, if they are even a human being, and who may, or may not, be an intelligence agency, or even a computer program.
In searching for hours through Wikipedia’s Teahouse, and extensively studying the profiles and information relating to everyone there, I’ve come to the conclusion that you may very well be the only person in the world that can accomplish this feat.
Most particularly, your physical location in the world, combined with your language skills, give you, and you alone, the necessary attributes to evaluate this effort too.
The subject needing your article creation and editing abilities is Sorcha Faal (whatdoesitmean.com), who since 2004 has written thousands of articles that have been republished in nearly every language and country in the world, including Finland.
http://mettemamma.blogspot.com/2005/08/kuka-on-sorcha-faal.html
https://mesikammen.wordpress.com/tag/sorcha-faal/
http://keskustelu.skepsis.fi/message/Message/322645
About fours years ago I did attempt to create a Sorcha Faal article on Wikipedia (US), but it was eventually delisted due to what can only be described as politics and my personal inability to either understand the whole process, or to defend the subject matter.
The global consequence of Sorcha Faal though cannot be denied—with even China’s official government newspaper People's Daily in 2011 naming one of Sorcha Faal’s articles as being in their top 10 list of conspiracy stories for 2010.
http://scitech.people.com.cn/GB/25509/13684891.html
During just the past few weeks too, a Sorcha Faal article has been consuming Russia to such an extent that nearly every major media publication, and television programme, have been commenting and writing about it—including a
Sputnik (news agency) reporter questioning the US Pentagon about it.
http://svpressa.ru/war21/article/140731/
http://ren.tv/novosti/2016-02-01/smi-turciya-sbila-dva-amerikanskih-voennyh-vertoleta-v-sirii-12-morpehov-pogibli 01 February 2016
http://de.sputniknews.com/militar/20160201/307523810/pentagon-hubschrauber-abschuss-dementi.html
Back in 2010 too, a Sorcha Faal article ( http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1322.htm ) alleging that the Haiti earthquake was caused by an American earthquake weapon was even citied by Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as evidence that this really happened.
From the
Voltaire Network: Haiti and the seismic weapon
http://www.voltairenet.org/article163729.html
From Iran government television Press TV: Chavez says US 'weapon' caused Haiti quake http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/116688.html
From the US Fox News Channel: Hugo Chavez Mouthpiece Says U.S. Hit Haiti With 'Earthquake Weapon' http://www.foxnews.com/story/2010/01/21/hugo-chavez-mouthpiece-says-us-hit-haiti-with-earthquake-weapon.html
In 2014, Iran’s
Fars News Agency published another Sorcha Faal article (
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1730.htm ) about Nazi-linked aliens who were in control of the US—and was then picked up and written about by
The Washington Post and
The Huffington Post among many other mainstream news organizations around the world.

In 2009,
WorldNetDaily even reported that the US Department of Homeland used Sorcha Faal articles when they created a “right wing” terror list—and
Mother Jones (magazine) had their reporters contact the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. about a Sorcha Faal article too.

The Latest Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory: Obama Death Squads Targeting Gun Rights Activists http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/02/obama-sending-death-squads-after-gun-rights-activists
As of this moment, without Sorcha Faal having a Wikipedia article this very consequential, and global, author is being relegated to the nether regions of the internet with only the “snarky point of view”
RationalWiki website having one written—and which is beyond disgusting.
Why this is so, I firmly believe, is because someone, or something, is very afraid of this Sorcha Faal and (it/she/he/them) are now, and have been, a target of a US government disinformation campaign described by Glen Greenwald using the secret documents proving this is so provided to him by Edward Snowden.
How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations https://theintercept.com/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/
The value of anonymous writers, such as Sorcha Faal, to human society can never be underestimated, and when efforts are made to silence them, I firmly believe, those of us whom are able to defend them should.
On 28 June 2007, the Sisters in their report titled US Banking Collapse ‘Imminent’ Warns French Banking Giant gave you a nearly one and a half years warning about the 2008 global market crash.
On 25 October 2008, the Sisters in their report titled Iranian Leader In Secret Meet With Obama At US Military Stronghold In Hawaii gave you a 7 year warning about the United States rapprochement with Iran this past week.
On 1 August 2014, the Sisters in their report titled India Shocks World, Joins Russia Against Obama Regime told you the truth that the Western invasion of Libya was related to the planned Gold Dinar, and which only this week a US State Department email released under court order confirmed was true. http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1988.htm
I believe you are one such defender and hope that you are able to achieve the goal of Wikipedia having a Sorcha Faal article included in it—after all, if this Sorcha Faal isn’t “notable” under Wikipedia standards who else can possibly be?

Hi, I see you've been changing lead images to be the default size for images in the article body. This is not required, and indeed it is usual for lead images to be a little larger. The standard in the MoS is |upright=1.35 but many editors use a pixel equivalent. I've reverted a couple and would be glad if you'd at least stop, and better, revert any others you may have done. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 18:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Hello. Over at the Teahouse we're having a bit of a 'spring clean' by removing old entries from the list of Hosts that new users see. As you don't appear to have been very active there for some time, your 'host profile' has been removed from the list. But please don't let that put you off contributing again in the future - either by signing back up as a Host to assist on a regular basis, or just dropping in whenever you fancy helping out.
Thank you for all your past help and support for new users at the Teahouse. Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC) "

I uploaded a heap of my own pics of various markings, colours etc.
I have no idea how to show you where they are! ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:04, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Someone showed me :o)
There they are! Have fun with them. ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Oops ..... no categories :-( Do you want to play with those, or can you tell me how to do it? I'm far too novice on here! ( PippaRivers ( talk) 18:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC))
Bless you for catting them! I am still far too much of a newbie on here, but I'm sure I'll catch on someday :o) Most of them are either pure-bred or part-bred Foresters (and several of them are mine, as they're the ones I can get closest too, most often). Bless you even more - you've inspired me with a reason to take some 'me time' and go out on the Forest colour-and-markings hunting for some more good pics. The frosty rabicano is one I came across regularly some years ago whilst hunting for my gelding (the flaxen chestnut who also donated the leg-markings and hair whorls pics). It took three days of walking (cold, wet, exhausted) to locate him to bring him home, even though we knew he'd likely be within a mile of the centre-point of his 'haunt'. Finding your pony, who runs free on several thousand hectares of Forest with loads of cool hiding places, is a lot more problematical than finding him in his own field at home! What did you think of that striking dun-appy foal? I know where a good blue-dun-tobiano usually hangs out ..... if I can find her, I will get some pics for you. We have some amazing combinations out here on the Forest; my chestnut (Sunny) has evidence of sooty, rabicano, pangare, sabino-type and splash-type white markings, as well as his more obvious chestnut and flaxen. And we have some really nice rabicanos - skunk-tails, coon-tails, frosty rump-mantles, topline frosting, and some seriously cool rabicano-classic hybrids who show up with lovely marbling effects on their coats. ( PippaRivers ( talk) 09:58, 4 February 2011 (UTC))
We have someone who knows the topic trying to clean up Camargue (horse), but their English is not great. My French is confined to about 20 words so I'm not sure my cleanup of their cleanup has the nuance right.

Hey there Pitke! I created a cat for Dartmoor Hill Ponies over in Commons, and sorted through some of the 'Dartmoor Pony' pics to put them in the right place. Someone undid one of my moves almost as I was doing it, saying there was no such thing as a Dartmoor Hill Pony, so I bunged a brief explanation plus links to both the Dartmoor Pony Society and the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association onto the talk page for each pic I moved. I'm just going to nip over there and see if they've all stayed put, or whether some of them have strayed back out of their paddock and got over into the wrong place again, lol!(btw, this is still Pippa here, I just went incognito on the name :-) ) ( ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 10:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC))

Hey Pitke, thanks for the crop on the KimBERwick photo (grin, I know, just being an annoying Yankee). Question, though: Seems like you do a lot of images in .png format, which seems to be a lot larger, slower to open and more apt to be quirky on some browsers. (definitely can be a problem for me when I'm working at home on the old dialup...) Just wondering if there was a logical reason you're doing that -- my understanding is that wiki-world likes photos to be .jpg and save .png for things like maps and diagrams. Not a mortal sin, just inquiring. Montanabw (talk) 03:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Pitke, You could kill a couple of redlinks by creating short stub or start-class articles. Scandinavian Coldblood would be my first pick -- that's a type including several breeds, yes?? Maybe some other related terms too. Just a thought. Montanabw (talk) 22:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Heya, Montana thought you ought to come play in the nice sandbox and see if you can help out, come up with some seriously cool pics, and so on. It would be nice to see you over there :o) ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 05:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
Ping! Do you have any spare time to come play? I have found a few pics, but they aren't set in stone, and I'm sure you could find better ones. Ideally I'd like to have one pic for each four-to-five inches of screen-length, without making it too pic-heavy. And any input you feel happy to provide on the rest of it, of course, will be more than welcome. ThatPeskyCommoner ( talk) 10:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
You're back! We had some drive-by editor (a long time one, but not active on WPEQ) trying to change all the refs in Finnhorse to harvb format for some obscure reason, in doing so screwed up a bunch of stuff, which was reverted, then tried a less dramatic approach, but it still was weird, I reverted him and he got kind of upset at me. Anyway, Dana and I were trying to protect the article in your absence, but maybe this guy did have a legitimate issue, I don't know. So, go check out the talk page and if there are any legitimate suggestions, I told this editor that you ought to be the one who does the fixes, if any are necessary, so they don't get screwed up. I'd be glad to help, but only if I actually know what I'm doing. In the mean time, thanks for being you over at Gypsy Vanner! Montanabw (talk) 04:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

One Hook idea: "DYK that the champion harness racing Finnhorse Eri-Aaroni had his racing career cut short due to Finland's conflicts with the Soviet Union during the Winter War and the Continuation War, but still sold in 1946 for the equivalent of 680,000 Euros, the highest price ever paid for a horse in Finland? " You might need to tweak that a bit and make sure it is the proper length, all sourced, etc., but I think it will work for English readers. The suffering-and-triumph stuff is always good. Montanabw (talk) 04:40, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Pitke, thanks for whatever fix you made to whatever strange edit happened on the Eri-Aaroni article. I've noticed lately that when I'm editing from home, where all I have is an old dialup that is really slow, I sometimes have had some really bizarre editing things happen, like the same edit going up three times or half of it disappearing entirely. (editing portal horses last night was one of them and whatever happened to Eri-Aaroni was another.) Not sure why this occurs, but just letting you know it's not deliberate. One of these years, when I get around to it, we will upgrade to wireless at home, but it's a PITA due to the upfront costs for the equipment (still way cheaper than going to satellite dish, the only other option), and we keep hoping that the durn doggone cable company will someday be arsed to run broadband down the last two miles of country road. But they probably won't, I've been bugging them for five years now... Sigh. Montanabw (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

There is no template named {{ Prettytable}} on this wikipedia. So, when you included it (before I removed it here), it added to the transclusions of this missing template, and caused it to appear in Wikipedia:Database_reports/Transclusions_of_deleted_templates/1. I believe you will find that my edits did not change the appearance, but just removed a completely useless invocation of a missing template. Thank you. Frietjes ( talk) 21:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
On 4 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eri-Aaroni, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi Pitke - I see that a bunch of your major links have gone dead in Finnhorse. I started trying to repair them, but the security program on my computer starting complaining about the website - not sure why. Since as a Finnish speaker I'm sure you have a better idea of what's happening on that website than I do, are you able to repair the links?

I restored Tovero and Overo over at commons, long story, but short version is that they are legitimate terms of art. I'd like to see them kept, I'm not great at commons categorization, but basically, until we have a DNA test for splash and have figured ut all the variants of sabino, including if one form of splash is the same as one form of sabino, there will always be a need for "overo." I have no real problem with the other "multiply spotted" cats other than being clunky and awkward, but I think there is a place for official terminology - even if it's "just American" -- after all, we are the ones doing most of the color genetic research and have the biggest obsession with spots -- and the most spotty horses!

Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 23:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Could use an English speaker who also knows French here: User:Montanabw/Horse welfare sandbox . I have the French editor of the fr.wiki article pinged too. No agenda yet, not certain if I will even create it, but if there's the energy to translate and get it up, I'm "donating" my user space. (Article will need some work to go into en.wiki).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Oskari Jussila, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lappi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Hello Pitke, I am writing to you in order to enlist your help in creating an article for what I believe is one of the world’s most consequential writers of the past decade—but whom no one knows who they are, if they are even a human being, and who may, or may not, be an intelligence agency, or even a computer program.
In searching for hours through Wikipedia’s Teahouse, and extensively studying the profiles and information relating to everyone there, I’ve come to the conclusion that you may very well be the only person in the world that can accomplish this feat.
Most particularly, your physical location in the world, combined with your language skills, give you, and you alone, the necessary attributes to evaluate this effort too.
The subject needing your article creation and editing abilities is Sorcha Faal (whatdoesitmean.com), who since 2004 has written thousands of articles that have been republished in nearly every language and country in the world, including Finland.

https://mesikammen.wordpress.com/tag/sorcha-faal/
http://keskustelu.skepsis.fi/message/Message/322645
About fours years ago I did attempt to create a Sorcha Faal article on Wikipedia (US), but it was eventually delisted due to what can only be described as politics and my personal inability to either understand the whole process, or to defend the subject matter.
The global consequence of Sorcha Faal though cannot be denied—with even China’s official government newspaper People's Daily in 2011 naming one of Sorcha Faal’s articles as being in their top 10 list of conspiracy stories for 2010.
http://scitech.people.com.cn/GB/25509/13684891.html
During just the past few weeks too, a Sorcha Faal article has been consuming Russia to such an extent that nearly every major media publication, and television programme, have been commenting and writing about it—including a
Sputnik (news agency) reporter questioning the US Pentagon about it.

http://de.sputniknews.com/militar/20160201/307523810/pentagon-hubschrauber-abschuss-dementi.html
Back in 2010 too, a Sorcha Faal article ( http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1322.htm ) alleging that the Haiti earthquake was caused by an American earthquake weapon was even citied by Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as evidence that this really happened.
From the
Voltaire Network: Haiti and the seismic weapon
http://www.voltairenet.org/article163729.html
From Iran government television Press TV: Chavez says US 'weapon' caused Haiti quake http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/116688.html

In 2014, Iran’s
Fars News Agency published another Sorcha Faal article (
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1730.htm ) about Nazi-linked aliens who were in control of the US—and was then picked up and written about by
The Washington Post and
The Huffington Post among many other mainstream news organizations around the world.

Tall White Nazi Space Aliens Are Not -- We Repeat NOT -- Invading http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/23/snowden-documents-us-alien-nazi-link_n_4592101.html
In 2009,
WorldNetDaily even reported that the US Department of Homeland used Sorcha Faal articles when they created a “right wing” terror list—and
Mother Jones (magazine) had their reporters contact the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. about a Sorcha Faal article too.

As of this moment, without Sorcha Faal having a Wikipedia article this very consequential, and global, author is being relegated to the nether regions of the internet with only the “snarky point of view”
RationalWiki website having one written—and which is beyond disgusting.
Why this is so, I firmly believe, is because someone, or something, is very afraid of this Sorcha Faal and (it/she/he/them) are now, and have been, a target of a US government disinformation campaign described by Glen Greenwald using the secret documents proving this is so provided to him by Edward Snowden.
How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations https://theintercept.com/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/
The value of anonymous writers, such as Sorcha Faal, to human society can never be underestimated, and when efforts are made to silence them, I firmly believe, those of us whom are able to defend them should.
On 28 June 2007, the Sisters in their report titled US Banking Collapse ‘Imminent’ Warns French Banking Giant gave you a nearly one and a half years warning about the 2008 global market crash.
On 25 October 2008, the Sisters in their report titled Iranian Leader In Secret Meet With Obama At US Military Stronghold In Hawaii gave you a 7 year warning about the United States rapprochement with Iran this past week.
On 1 August 2014, the Sisters in their report titled India Shocks World, Joins Russia Against Obama Regime told you the truth that the Western invasion of Libya was related to the planned Gold Dinar, and which only this week a US State Department email released under court order confirmed was true. http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1988.htm
I believe you are one such defender and hope that you are able to achieve the goal of Wikipedia having a Sorcha Faal article included in it—after all, if this Sorcha Faal isn’t “notable” under Wikipedia standards who else can possibly be?

Hi, I see you've been changing lead images to be the default size for images in the article body. This is not required, and indeed it is usual for lead images to be a little larger. The standard in the MoS is |upright=1.35 but many editors use a pixel equivalent. I've reverted a couple and would be glad if you'd at least stop, and better, revert any others you may have done. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 18:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cow-hocked, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hock ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Hello. Over at the Teahouse we're having a bit of a 'spring clean' by removing old entries from the list of Hosts that new users see. As you don't appear to have been very active there for some time, your 'host profile' has been removed from the list. But please don't let that put you off contributing again in the future - either by signing back up as a Host to assist on a regular basis, or just dropping in whenever you fancy helping out.
Thank you for all your past help and support for new users at the Teahouse. Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC) "
