Creating a "Talk" page.
Can I go around Wikipedia and manually change all my entries (in "Talk" pages, mostly) manually from an IP Address to the signature (IP hidden) of this account? Is there a tool that will do this automatically? I read about "tools" used on Wikipedia and no nothing other than that. They exist, and that's all I know.

Please refrain from using talk pages such as

reliable sources and the project
policies and guidelines; they are
not for use as a forum or chat room. See

I'm learning that if you put effort into learning Wikipedia Policy and Guidelines as a means of self-defense, you'll end up using them in self-defense, instead of learning how to implement them yourself.

Hi Tym Whittier, just wanted to reply again to your message. The facts Terry v. Ohio were based on are open to dispute. A good article to read is: "Terry v. Ohio at Thirty-Five: A Revisionist View" by Lewis R. Katz. He claims the evidence was very weak. I think it was more a case of the political and social turmoil in the sixties that forced the decision. Then, Nixon got a Supreme Court Chief Justice that was very anti-Warren and from then on a lot more power has been given to the police. So, Terry v. Ohio was more like an opening that others exploited.
I agree with your vision. Actually, I am encountering kind of a problem. There is a very complex case of explaining all the law and there is a simple case of "the police got more power". So, I can get lost in all the details. I guess it is a talent to pull out the relevant facts and tell a good story everyone can understand.
As for suggestions on things to do, starting discussions on the Talk pages would be a good idea. Also, trying to find other people interested, since the Talk pages seem to be pretty dead right now. But, there are some people that are editing the pages. I understand that you're new so don't want to do too much at once. I think the best approach is a combination of doing a little bit at a time and getting other people involve. And, if you have any questions, feel free to ping me!

Tym- I read other people's talk page and it is none of my business. You can ignor anything I say. In the Wikipedia world, they do not care for your personal knowledge. It does not matter if you know something is true or not. Information has to come from an outside reliable source not from your head. Opinion about anything is personal. It is not fact that you see written somewhere else. You can't add it to the encyclopedia. I see where other editors are trying to give you advice but they are using wiki speak. New people do not understand wiki speak. For example, I watch a movie. I read the movie article and I see something is wrong. I cannot change it. I just saw it and I know it should be changed. I can not use my personal knowledge. I would need to go find something written that I can reference and then change it. I have only read your talk page and apparently you put you opinion on some article talk page. That is not allowed. Your knowledge and opinion is POV is wiki speak {personal point of view). Only the facts as written elsewhere that others can check and verify are ok for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a place to discuss things. I don't know but I think you are an attorney(I am but they do not like you to talk personal). You can never say anything about someone else. Why do I think you may have legal training. You argue about everything. You type long answers. You defend yourself. There are wiki policies and you should try to follow them. Everyone generally want to help. You just need to listen and not try to find some authority to back up your position. Because somebody else did is never acceptable. Wikipedia editing is self taught. They generally do not care about errors for hopefully someone else will fix it. They hate edit warring. You write something and then I change it and then you change it. If that happens 3 times you can be blocked for days. Blocking is the way they enforce rules. I always talk about they and them but it really is anyone who types and gets interested. It seems people come and go. Talk about long answers. Really you can hear my advice or ignor it. Eschoryii ( talk) 04:29, 22 January 2019 (UTC) They really like you to sign things. I'll shut up.

It is deeply, deeply inappropriate for you to place an unblock request on another user's talk page. I don't want to ever see you do that again. You are free to protest a block, but unblock requests must only be made by the person who was blocked (or, in this case, banned). -- Yamla ( talk) 22:33, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Tym Whittier ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Because there was absolutely no "personal attack". I asked questions and developed a theory based on what information I had. For some reason the Editor in question chose to over-react, and made things very, very, very, very personal (mocking his deeply, deeply inappropriate comment). If Yamla doesn't want reactions like that, Yamla needs to learn how to deal with people in a "collegial" manner. The fault was not mine, as the New Editor, the fault was with Yamla, the more experienced Editor that failed to maintain a level of professional decorum when dealing with me. I expect an apology from Yamla, and an acknowledgement from you that the fault was with Yamla and not with me. Further my question remains; Is there a Wikipedia Policy that prevents one Editor from asking that another Editor be unblocked. Because if the answer is "no", that implies that Yamla was also wrong about THAT, failing to tp answer that question. Leadership is by example. That applies to Yamla, and that also applies to you. First I apologized in advance for what I did, which was ignored. Protecting this "Yamla" from the natural consequences of his/her mistakes does not help Yamla become a better Editor, or Administrator, or whatever he/she is, however letting Yamla get away with stuff like this sets up the pattern for this kind of thing to continue, which will have a dual effect. 1) Yamla get arrogant, thinking the rules, standards & policies do not apply to him/her (which ultimately results in a train-wreck) and 2) it drives off new Editors, particularly those that actually believe in standards and their enforcement. I don't care about the 1 week ban. I care about the fact that 1) I'm right, 2) Yamla was wrong, and 3) so are you. Tym Whittier ( talk) 05:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Doug Weller talk 11:53, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters.
The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:
Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the above methods. This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, noticeboard discussions, etc.
Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. Doug Weller talk 12:16, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Tym - I am a poli-sci person and Wiki community is a group of strangers. How they interact to create this collection of knowledge is amazing. You for some reason has attracted my intention. Do you have your own motive or do you want to add to the encyclopedia? We all act out of self interest. It seems you put your ideas and information on talk pages and not into the articles. You state that you are new and keep seeking advice. And you love to argue a point. I am making this comment to encourage you to start really editing. To edit is not to add your point of view. If you have an agenda left or right; pro or con on a topic; opinion or fact you need to cite a source that may agree with you. I really do not think you need advice, You know enough but you are still testing the Wiki community. The rules want neutrality and objective facts. Yet certain editors write for and protect their own topics of knowledge. Some editors only care about protecting Wiki style and rules. People come and go all the time. It's time for you to leave talk pages. Editors will revert you and do not take offence. Keep adding verifiable facts with references cited. If you edit an article say why. Always id yourself. The talk page is really the place to discuss what facts should be in the article. Talk pages are not a place to discuss ideas but only a forum to improve the article. I think you know all this. I could be wrong but I am trying to give you that little nudge to start editing instead of talking about process. You will find a group of editors that agree with you and a group that do not. Wiki says everyone is equal but do not offend a more powerful editor. Just back off and move to another topic that interests you. You should always be free to ignore my advice. You can ask me questions but when I am not reading other people's talk pages, I edit film articles. I am no good at all on technical advice. Sorry to be so long winded. Eschoryii ( talk) 22:31, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Tym Whittier. I saw your question at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ed Krassenstein. In general, the talk page of a closed discussion is a poor place to get your question answered, very few people will see it. I just lucked across it. If you think he is notable because multiple independent reliable sources are discussing the topic in-depth, then I'd recommend you re-create the article via WP:AfC. Just because his name is listed at Twitter suspensions doesn't strike me as guaranteeing notability, or even particularly as a strong indication of notability. I hope that helps. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 18:15, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
TYM - I'm back. I just read your Ohnoitsjamie discussion and the new advice on this talk page. And I want to ask what is your purpose? You love to argue and all that effort should go to improving the encyclopedia. Your "I'm new here" is no longer being believed. I see at the top the Wiki Foundation is trying something new for editor to talk to one another. It may be perfect for you. See the Learn More button above. The diehard Wiki people work hard. They don't want to see opinion on talk pages or take time to answer philosophy questions. Your purpose should be to edit articles. If someone deletes it then you go to the talk page and then only talk about the article. Of course you can continue to draw attention to yourself and attract discussions. At some point you will be blocked. Boy are your answers long. I think I'm done watching you. Take care. Eschoryii ( talk) 03:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Heya Tym, thanks for your edit at Mary Jackson! Figured I'd leave a note here to show you how I formatted it: [2]. One handy thing about Wikipedia is that you can often find policies/guidelines/etc. by just typing into the search bar "WP:" and a word relating to what you're doing; in this case WP:NÉE is a shortcut that goes to the Manual of Style guidance on how to format previous names, including when people changed their name due to marriage. If you don't have any luck, though, what you did (just going ahead and making the edit as best as you can and leaving a note to whoever happens to see it and might know a better way) is better than nothing.

Request reason:
Because there was absolutely no "personal attack". I asked questions and developed a theory based on what information I had. For some reason the Editor in question chose to over-react, and made things very, very, very, very personal (mocking his deeply, deeply inappropriate comment). If Yamla doesn't want reactions like that, Yamla needs to learn how to deal with people in a "collegial" manner. The fault was not mine, as the New Editor, the fault was with Yamla, the more experienced Editor that failed to maintain a level of professional decorum when dealing with me. I expect an apology from Yamla, and an acknowledgement from you that the fault was with Yamla and not with me. Further my question remains; Is there a Wikipedia Policy that prevents one Editor from asking that another Editor be unblocked. Because if the answer is "no", that implies that Yamla was also wrong about THAT, failing to tp answer that question. Leadership is by example. That applies to Yamla, and that also applies to you. First I apologized in advance for what I did, which was ignored. Protecting this "Yamla" from the natural consequences of his/her mistakes does not help Yamla become a better Editor, or Administrator, or whatever he/she is, however letting Yamla get away with stuff like this sets up the pattern for this kind of thing to continue, which will have a dual effect. 1) Yamla get arrogant, thinking the rules, standards & policies do not apply to him/her (which ultimately results in a train-wreck) and 2) it drives off new Editors, particularly those that actually believe in standards and their enforcement. I don't care about the 1 week ban. I care about the fact that 1) I'm right, 2) Yamla was wrong, and 3) so are you. Tym Whittier ( talk) 05:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

02:46, 11 February 2019 (UTC)This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

All IP editors, accounts with fewer than 500 edits, and accounts with less than 30 days tenure are prohibited from editing any page that could be reasonably construed as being related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This prohibition is preferably enforced by the use of extended confirmed protection, but where that is not feasible, it may also be enforced by reverts, page protections, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters.
The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:
Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the above methods. This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, noticeboard discussions, etc.
Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. Doug Weller talk 12:16, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Tym - I am a poli-sci person and Wiki community is a group of strangers. How they interact to create this collection of knowledge is amazing. You for some reason has attracted my intention. Do you have your own motive or do you want to add to the encyclopedia? We all act out of self interest. It seems you put your ideas and information on talk pages and not into the articles. You state that you are new and keep seeking advice. And you love to argue a point. I am making this comment to encourage you to start really editing. To edit is not to add your point of view. If you have an agenda left or right; pro or con on a topic; opinion or fact you need to cite a source that may agree with you. I really do not think you need advice, You know enough but you are still testing the Wiki community. The rules want neutrality and objective facts. Yet certain editors write for and protect their own topics of knowledge. Some editors only care about protecting Wiki style and rules. People come and go all the time. It's time for you to leave talk pages. Editors will revert you and do not take offence. Keep adding verifiable facts with references cited. If you edit an article say why. Always id yourself. The talk page is really the place to discuss what facts should be in the article. Talk pages are not a place to discuss ideas but only a forum to improve the article. I think you know all this. I could be wrong but I am trying to give you that little nudge to start editing instead of talking about process. You will find a group of editors that agree with you and a group that do not. Wiki says everyone is equal but do not offend a more powerful editor. Just back off and move to another topic that interests you. You should always be free to ignore my advice. You can ask me questions but when I am not reading other people's talk pages, I edit film articles. I am no good at all on technical advice. Sorry to be so long winded.

You made a comment that looks as though you think it's an essay. You might want to do something about your post if I'm right. Doug Weller talk 19:54, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello Tym Whittier. I saw your question at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ed Krassenstein. In general, the talk page of a closed discussion is a poor place to get your question answered, very few people will see it. I just lucked across it. If you think he is notable because multiple independent reliable sources are discussing the topic in-depth, then I'd recommend you re-create the article via WP:AfC. Just because his name is listed at Twitter suspensions doesn't strike me as guaranteeing notability, or even particularly as a strong indication of notability. I hope that helps. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 18:15, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
TYM - I'm back. I just read your Ohnoitsjamie discussion and the new advice on this talk page. And I want to ask what is your purpose? You love to argue and all that effort should go to improving the encyclopedia. Your "I'm new here" is no longer being believed. I see at the top the Wiki Foundation is trying something new for editor to talk to one another. It may be perfect for you. See the Learn More button above. The diehard Wiki people work hard. They don't want to see opinion on talk pages or take time to answer philosophy questions. Your purpose should be to edit articles. If someone deletes it then you go to the talk page and then only talk about the article. Of course you can continue to draw attention to yourself and attract discussions. At some point you will be blocked. Boy are your answers long. I think I'm done watching you. Take care. Eschoryii ( talk) 03:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Heya Tym, thanks for your edit at Mary Jackson! Figured I'd leave a note here to show you how I formatted it: [2]. One handy thing about Wikipedia is that you can often find policies/guidelines/etc. by just typing into the search bar "WP:" and a word relating to what you're doing; in this case WP:NÉE is a shortcut that goes to the Manual of Style guidance on how to format previous names, including when people changed their name due to marriage. If you don't have any luck, though, what you did (just going ahead and making the edit as best as you can and leaving a note to whoever happens to see it and might know a better way) is better than nothing.

- before you end up being blocked again: You seem to have gotten off to a wobbly start on Wikipedia, even if as you claim, you had previous experience as an IP user. One of your problems is your verbosity. No one is going to read your 500 word diatribes and answer them, neither at The Tea House or on Jorm's talk page.
