Relocated from (talk) Wiki-psyc.
I notice you have copied elements of my user page onto your page. Anyway you seem to have hit the ground running. You are obviously a seasoned Wiki editor not a novice. Please provide full details of your previous Wikipdia accounts.-- Penbat ( talk) 08:56, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks, such as your addition to User:Wiki-psyc can easily be misinterpreted. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. This is the only Wikipedia account I have had. Admin can verify. Your comment has been removed. Thanks. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 23:10, 21 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wiki-psyc. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Filing a frivolous sockpuppet claim and stalking an editor is harassment. This is notice to stop.

Wiki-psyc ( talk) 16:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC) reply

Wiki-psyc, Penbat was acting in WP:Good faith. It's quite easy to see that you are not a WP:Newbie. Showing up editing like you've been editing Wikipedia for years is obviously going to result in suspicion of your account. I immediately pegged you as a WP:Sock as well. Either that, or as a user returning under a WP:Clean start rationale, whether or not that rationale is entirely in line with WP:Clean start. When I saw that you were commenting in the WP:Sockpuppet investigation that Penbat had started on you, I decided not to comment since that report was not solid. But now that I recently saw you again, this time at this article, I decided to state that acting like Penbat is wrong to be suspicious of you is incorrect. Very experienced Wikipedia editors usually are suspicious of new accounts that edit the way you do (meaning in a seasoned way), and with good reason; see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive894#Spaghetti07205 as a recent example. Just know that if you are trying to help Wikipedia, so is Penbat.

If you reply to me about this, I would prefer that you reply here at this talk page instead of at mine, so that the discussion stays jointed instead of disjointed. Flyer22 ( talk) 21:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Flyer22, does bringing a member before a tribunal after their first edit and on the grounds that it "exceeded expectations" qualify as WP:Good faith or WP:BITE? I'll respect your opinion that it is with "good reason" and that it "helps Wikipedia". It is, however, not something I would recommend or endorse. If I were concerned about chronic troublemakers that resurface with new identities, I'd wait rather than error. Troublemakers generally recreate their controversies, in time, and give themselves away.

With respect to Covert incest, I just documented the work. Let's talk/work there. [ Talk page

Wiki-psyc ( talk) 19:02, 28 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Wiki-psyc, how I handle potentially problematic returning editors is addressed on my user page; how I go about that works.

As for the Covert incest article, I'm not especially interested in it and I wasn't stating that you'd done anything wrong there. Flyer22 ( talk) 01:38, 29 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Wiki-psyc, for a relative newbie who only joined Wiki earlier this year, and has made less than 100 article edits, your ability to cite WP policies is at the advanced level. I've been on Wiki for 10 years and i'm not quite at your level. You managed to issue a Template:Uw-harass2 on my talk page (see above) after having done only four article edits. "Troublemakers generally recreate their controversies, in time, and give themselves away" - what lead you to deduce that ? -- Penbat ( talk) 08:31, 29 August 2015 (UTC) reply

You need to cease the bullying, harassment and personal attacks. I've asked you politely on a number of occasions. You have been told by the administrators on two occasions that your accusations are unfounded. Please conduct yourself professionally. I will file a harassment report next time you do this. I have asked the administrators to intervene are restore neutrality to the WP:RM

Hi there, just wanted to drop you a line about your reversion of my edit on Bullying culture. I never change quotes without checking the source, but this one was uncheckable, and I actually couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a direct quote or not. Since the quoted phrase was so brief, in the middle of a much longer sentence, I thought it might have been just a turn of phrase that the Wiki author had put in quotes for being rather colloquial. A way of saying "so to speak." For that reason, I thought it might as well be grammatically correct.

Anyway, no big deal, just wanted to let you know I hadn't changed it lightly or unthinkingly, nor was I trying to Americanize the language - I try to stay sensitive to that. Thanks! Jessicapierce ( talk) 14:56, 1 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Help! This page has twice been speedily deleted as being promotional. I agree it's very positive, but I haven't found any negative coverage.

I see many, many complaints about the templates. We need the same links in so many places? I doubt it. The text at WP:SIDEBAR says that the purpose of templates is to avoid long "see also" sections. Also, if a title is linked in article text then there's no need for it to be in "see also" too. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 ( talk) 10:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Also: WP:ALSO: "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes." Do you acknowledge that guideline? 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 ( talk) 11:10, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Bullying culture #In the workplace

Bullying is seen to be prevalent in organisations where employees and managers feel that they have the support, or at least implicitly the blessing, of senior managers to carry on their abusive and bullying behaviour. Furthermore, new managers will quickly come to view this form of behaviour as acceptable and normal if they see others get away with it and are even rewarded for it. ^[1]

When bullying happens at the highest levels, the effects may be far reaching. That people may be bullied irrespective of their organisational status or rank, including senior managers, indicates the possibility of a negative domino effect, where bullying may be cascaded downwards as the targeted supervisors might offload their own aggression on their subordinates. In such situations, a bullying scenario in the boardroom may actually threaten the productivity of the entire organisation. ^[2]

Also: Talk:Narcissism#Repeated text: for a similar problem.

I'm confused. If the exact same text is in three articles, then none of those are the "main article". I suggest picking one and putting it there. Duplicate text like this clogs up articles and templates. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 ( talk) 11:19, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

I've noticed other blocks of text that are reused across multiple articles as well. While it can make sense in some circumstances, there seems to be a pattern here. Maybe the way you're writing or compiling articles could be reviewed to reduce this rampant duplication of text. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 ( talk) 12:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

You may not be aware of this, but anytime text is copied from one article to another in WP, it's legally important to identify the source article in the edit summary. If you follow that rule, it'll be easier for everyone to track the flow. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:4060:393:581D:3D36 ( talk) 12:21, 26 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Respectfully, I added back the images on Setting boundaries. The images help readers to visualize this often misunderstood concept. They comply with the Image use policy and, conversely, the manner and reasons given for their deletion do not. It might help to compare the use of images in this article to those in the Exaggeration article which we both have been actively involved. Graphics are very subjective and tastes differ so this is not as clear cut as a fact citation. I'm amenable to constructively exploring alternative options that will aid the readers either here or on the article's talk page. Wiki-psyc ( talk) 12:28, 10 November 2015 (UTC) reply

Penbat,

Thank you for your kind acknowledgement of my Quality improvement efforts at Lie-to-children.

Thanks again,

Thank you for your addition of my Quality improvement effort to the article Lie.

Unfortunately, incoming links to the article Lie-to-children were removed from this article and many others all over Wikipedia.

Now that I've successfully embarked upon a Quality improvement project for the article Lie-to-children -- do you think this would be a good time to restore those incoming links to this article that were previously recently removed ?

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Hello! I removed Category:Physicians from a number of articles about medical associations and journals with names containing the word Physicians to which you added the category, as it is generally recommended to avoid characterizing by "a subject's name ... or by characteristics of the name" (see WP:SHAREDNAME). In addition, as a part of Category:People by occupation, Category:Physicians is a biographical category tree intended primarily for articles and lists about people, not organizations or other entities, which have their own category systems—e.g., Category:Medical associations and Category:Medical journals. It appears to me that you were attempting to convert Category:Physicians (a set category) to a topic category about the profession as a whole. Such changes potentially can affect hundreds or thousands of subcategorized articles, and so I urge you to propose all such changes at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, where you can obtain feedback from other editors.

Hello Penbat, I see you've been making some improvements to the Alexander Technique article and overall I agree with your changes. I noticed your edit summary that says that you can't see how Alexander Technique relates to Rolfing and Systema. Rolfing is a form of Somatic Education (see Somatics) which relies on more hands-on contact for some of the movement education aspects but essentially they seem to be working from a similar set of ideas about how the human body functions best. Alexander Technique was a big influence on Feldenkrais, and Moshe Feldenkrais was a contemporary and friend of Ida Rolf. There's evidence that they cross-pollinated ideas quite a bit. As to Systema, I too noticed that link recently and hadn't ever heard of it so I read the article. It seems to be a martial art that is very Somatics-based. I'm actually going to point it out to the other editors on the Somatics article and see if they want to include it there - my only hesitation is whether it is notable enough to bother; the fact that I never heard of it gives me pause as I'm not unfamiliar with martial arts. Anyway, I'm going to reinstate those links for now and we can continue the conversation if you like. Cheers, -- Karinpower ( talk) 18:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC) reply

How did I miss your message to my talk page?! Of course I am interested in that article. There was a tag at the top about original research. That can't possibly be true, can it? There is so much out there on the abuse of power in relationships that an author of research is very unlikely to have put in material. I'll get to work right away.

Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ( talk) 23:58, 11 June 2016 (UTC) reply

OK thanks - the article tries to cover power and control in all abusive contexts but at the same time draw out some common features, for example reinforcement and operant conditioning where the abuser entices the abused with gifts etc if they comply but punishes them if they rebel. Enticing the abused is a big part of "grooming". Child abuse grooming etc is entirely missing from power and control in abusive relationships. I don't think the tags are entirely justified.-- Penbat ( talk) 07:30, 12 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Hi, Thanks for your edits! I have a question about changing the title of the article from "Post-assault treatment of victims of sexual assault".

Actually, I don't like the old title or the new one. I agree that the old title is long. And I don't like the word "treatment" suggests "medical treatment" and not all of the other things that occur after the assault.

I want the article to provide a list of all things (positive and negative) that a victim of sexual assault would have to deal with AFTER the assault. I like having the "Post-assault' in the title as it notifies the reader that the article is exclusively focused on what occurs after the assault.

Perhaps a better title would be "Scrutiny and mistreatment of sexual assault victims" or "Post-assault mistreatment of sexual assault victims" What do you think? Any suggestions?

Any other comments are appreciated. I plan to make a few more additions to the article (including police interview).

Thanks! User:WSDavitt ( talk)

Per Refpunc, Any punctuation (see exceptions below) must precede the ref tags. If you look at the examples given, you will see examples that have references in the middle of the text and the end.
The ref tags should immediately follow the text to which the footnote applies. You have already done this... Refs in the sentence applies to everything before the ref. Refs at the end of the sentence applies to everything since the first refs.
Style guides say refs before punctuation or after, but never intermixed.

Hey there Penbat, I went ahead and closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Isolation Techniques (Individual) just to get it over with. I may not have expressed it well in my close statement, but I think the best thing to do is exactly what you suggested in the discussion - copy and paste your work from User:Penbat/Isolation to facilitate abuse to the article, and then move it.

There are reliable sources out there. [ [1]]-- Ykraps ( talk) 06:29, 2 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Thanks Ykraps, I am sure a mention is justifed and that source is reliable enough. Incidentally I caught some of the reenactment of the Battle of Mudeford a few monhs ago at Mudeford Quay. It wasnt that exciting but local history guru Mike Andrews was there and interjected interesting historical facts. That might have been worth mentioning in Battle of Mudeford but I have not found any reliable source. -- Penbat ( talk) 09:24, 2 January 2017 (UTC) reply

I just thought a short sentence or two, but I'm having difficulty deciding where it should go. I wonder if there's enough going on to justify a small culture section?

I didn't see the re-enactment, which is a shame as I would've been interested. Incidentally, do you think the mention of the Ship in Distress as "...actively involved in the Battle of Mudeford", is a mistake? I don't know of any involvement. The S-I-D has connections to both Ma Sillar and John Streeter but this was at a different time. At the time, Hannah Sillar was landlady of the Haven pub (not the one currently there) which was the scene of a shoot-out during the battle. So may be there is some confusion there?-- Ykraps ( talk) 10:08, 2 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Presumably you've noticed that Mudeford Sea Scouts HQ is called Orestes after the naval cutter HMS Orestes (1781). Might also be worth mentioning as it's on the recreation ground.-- Ykraps ( talk) 10:13, 2 January 2017 (UTC) reply

Any better quality references for Disengaging from an abuser using the no contact rule or grey rock method? Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 21:23, 12 July 2017 (UTC) reply

There are quite a few self-help books on "no contact". "Grey rock" is such a recent concept that it gets mentioned in many websites but not many books as yet. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/how-to-deal-with-a-narcissist-like-donald-trump-20170202-gu3yzq.html mentions grey rock in some detail. Both concepts have a lot of coverage on Google and Youtube. Both concepts deserve to be on Wikipedia because of their notability. Anecdotally these concepts are often found to be useful by people who use them. "Disengaging from an abuser" is an important topic. It is associated with narcissistic abuse in its modern sense which is an evolving field. The fact that academic studies have not covered this area much has caused a vacuum. It would be almost impossible to do hard science in this field anyway. Popular psychology manages to plug gaps in academic research eg attention seeking, emotional baggage, emotional blackmail, guilt trip and personal boundaries.-- Penbat ( talk) 21:47, 12 July 2017 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Undeserving poor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.  — Myk Streja  ^(when?) 21:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC) reply

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi Penbat and a belated Happy New Year to you. I'm glad to see you're still plugging away here.

What do you think?-- Ykraps ( talk) 06:06, 26 January 2018 (UTC) reply

Off hand I dont know the answer to your question. Happy New Year to you as well and good work on historic ships. Personally I have done all the "must dos" I can think of. I probably got the most satisfaction from squatting position - we all do some element of squatting every day especially just to lower the body but oddly it has generally been airbrushed out. Most people have no idea of its versatility. I am from now on keeping a relatively low profile on Wikipedia - just keeping an eye on things. Wikipedia is enjoyable but it can also have its stresses. On the local history front I have checked out some obvious historic features of Boscombe: remnants of Victoria Hospital, neighbouring water tower, old coaching inn, derelict Boscombe railway station, the Boscombe Devil. Can you think of other prominemt historical Boscombe features that can still be seen ?-- Penbat ( talk) 01:17, 27 January 2018 (UTC) reply

I think the photograph was taken from Convent Walk, just downstream of the Town Bridge, where the fishing punt is, looking towards the far bank. I didn't say so initially because I wanted see if you thought so too without me leading you. I'll have a look when I'm next in town, to make sure.

There are a few interesting buildings in Boscombe. You might like the old technical college (896 Christchurch Rd, Pokesdown) and nearby, the old match factory in Hannington Place. Unfortunately, the old trolleybus depot, next to The Bell, appears to have been demolished but there is still the old tram, and later, trolleybus depot in Southcotte Road which is still used by the council today. Percy Florence Shelley's house in Shelley Park is still there.[ [4]] It was at one time an art college but is now flats, I think. However, there is a pharmacy there (bizarrely) so you can have a peek inside. Not far from there, in College Road, is a school which used to be Lord somebody or other's (name escapes me for the moment) home. If you really want a challenge, you could try finding the site of Southbourne Pier and the houses that were built along the sea front, next to it.[ [5]][ [6]] I think I know where it was but I'm just guessing. Incidentally, did you know there were plans to re-open Boscombe East station?[ [7]]-- Ykraps ( talk) 14:02, 27 January 2018 (UTC) reply

...for that Airsoft edit, but I will have to revert you on the squatting article. There is no reason why this should be an a-typical article, full of useless pictures, trivia, and original research.

I fundamentally disagree with you @ Drmies:, you will have to take it to the talk page. I agree with your campaign to delete trivia from articles but you do not understand this is not one of them. In fact it is the complete opposite. Much of it covers every day actions everybody on the planet does every day, nothing like the trivia you are currently deleting. You do not understand the subject. Some of it happens to be culture specific. It is a very atypical article for which WP:IGNORE largely applies. But there are quite a few articles with more images than this. And you are missing the point singling out this which has its own article Russian squat dance and not one of mine. -- Penbat ( talk) 16:49, 16 September 2019 (UTC) reply

I honestly have no idea what you are on about and you obviously have no interest in understanding the subject of squatting. IMO your stance is entirely POV.

You flippantly introduced the section title "Squatting while peeing or pooping" into the article which is slang, not mentioned in the body text, and contravenes MOS:HEAD. Even worse "pooping" is US specific slang not normally used outside the US. I have corrected it. If I look hard enough I will probably find other errors. You seem to have a flippant attitude to the whole article.@ Drmies:-- Penbat ( talk) 22:29, 16 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Your article was ridiculous. "Pooping", a fairly common word, is less out of place than your 50k of verbosity.

Thanks for uploading File:Oh Yeah cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:26, 13 October 2022 (UTC) reply
