(( Plautus satire on Talk:Chess [1]. BEST EDIT EVAR - David Gerard 10:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC))
I have just made a few changes to the chess entry and when I get done picking my jaw up off the floor I'll finish typing this... `
\ *
Okay I'm ready now.
I find it very alarming that no mention was made in the overview that each player has 16 of the pieces for his own, only that there were 32 pieces. Would communists assume each player "owns" half the pieces? Yes, nitpicking, that's what we do here, we pick nits. Also no mention is made that the pieces are differentiated (usually by color though not always) and the squares on the board are also differentiated. There are many pictures, but what about the blind? Let me know if I'm too aggressive hunting nits here. To put it bluntly, that overview sucks a$$...
Scrolling down, however, we find over one hundred links to chess history, chess literature, chess moves, chess games, chess people, chess places, chess everything and this *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* lousy overview.
I think the priorities of people around here are SERIOUSLY out of whack. - Plautus satire 14:54, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I too have eaten a deep-fried Mars bar, but in Wales rather than Scotland. This was a week's school (or rather, CCF) winter hill-walking trip in Snowdonia in December. After a day's slogging up and down Triffan (sp?) in the whirling snow, 3 million deep-fried calories sounded extremely welcome. I enjoyed it then, but I don't know if I would in any other situation.

How often do people reverse Jenny's phone number? Did they ever discontinue use of the reversed version of Jenny's phone number in all area codes?

In 1981, +1-areacode-903-5768 would not have been valid in most areas because a 0 or 1 in the second digit was reserved for area codes, while local exchanges could *not* have 0 or 1 in either of the first two digits. This was done so that calling a number like 1-234-5678 would actually reach (long distance) +1-your own area code-234-5678, something which was completely broken by issuing area codes with "wrong" middle digits from 1995 onward. In a few places which were short of numbers, this pattern was broken early (just for calls within that area code) by allowing 0 or 1 into the second digit of the local exchange (NYC and Chicago likely as early as the 1970's) but these were relatively rare. (A long-distance call from a +1-212- number to another in the same area code was too rare for this to matter as the code doesn't even reach to Brooklyn). The B52s had 606-0842 in a song title in the early 1980's, but in most places in North America that was an invalid number as it would be taken as area code 606 (eastern Kentucky) followed by 084-2xxx as an invalid local number (leading zero, and three digits too short). The number might exist now, but nobody cares as the corresponding vinyl album track was forgotten after only brief note three decades ago. 66.102.83.61 ( talk) 03:21, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Does a zombie really engage in cannibalism? Zombies in fiction will eat humans but not other zombies. It seems to me that if a zombie ate a zombie or a human ate a human, both would be cannibalism. But since a zombie is no longer human, a zombie eating a human or a human eating a zombie would not be cannibalism. This argument was pointed out in Dawn of the Dead (1978).-- Burzum 4 July 2005 03:10 (UTC)
I added the following to the criticism section. It's actually quite a nice addition. I'd appreciate a response. thanks. From an analytical perspective, here's a comical summary of the nature of the series thus far: Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Jimmy Altieri was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Brendan Filone got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Big Pussy was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Richie Aprile got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Raymond Curto was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Jackie Jr. got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Jack Massarone was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Ralph Cifaretto got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Adriana was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Tony Blundetto got whacked. And now...the sixth season premiere of The Sopranos. YAY! - Zarbon
- he fetched the paper in season 5 episode "Test Dream" in the plaza hotel, in his robe. so there. - Zarbon
Well spotted. So Zarbon ripped off a Television without Pity recap word for word except for the "Yay!". (which is a commercial copyright breach by the way) here's the link.
I didn't rip it off. it's good to add. i'm still wondering as to why it shouldn't be added actually. It pretty much sums up the series so well, it's unmistakingly perfect. I just liked it for the fact that Brendan Filone was mentioned, since he's my alltime favorite character and all. - Zarbon
I think it is only fair that someone take Zarbon out back and shoot him. And of course, pick up a newspaper.
hey, as long as i get shot right in the eye, like Brendan Filone, I'm happy. - Zarbon
This article alleges that Rodney King was on PCB even if it goes on to say that tests for PCB came up negative. The article itself refutes the claim. Also the speed King was driving at should be alleged, unless it was proven also. I find the article largely states the point of view of the police report as fact, even if the police were defendants in the issue. That, I think, is wrong. Also this article does little to cite its sources, eg. 'alleged by whom?' - 17:01, 9 February 2006

For those of you who enjoy playing 6 degrees of separation, you may attempt to find out how I got from Asian Elephant to this article. But I digress. I was just wondering about this sentence, in the introduction:
Now, I may be reading too much into this, but the above seems to imply that if semen is left on someone's lovelies, it might just be absorbed into the skin, pass through many layers of fat, muscle and tissue, and end up depositing itself in the vagina. Leading to pregnancy and all the horrors that follow.
I don't think I know anyone short enough to have trouble keeping semen away from their bajingo, when it's on their boobies.
I'm not joking, I'm honestly wondering what this sentence is trying to tell me. — riana_dzasta • t • c 14:20, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

The following appears to be a conversation about the image at left.
I think this picture is unflattering if not disgusting. Who would want to eat an orange after seeing that picture? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it were inserted by somebody in the apple industry (known to be unscrupulous) or somebody with an extreme dislike of oranges. A picture that unflattering does not occur by mistake and I'm quite certain there is an agenda behind it. I know that this page is meant to be informative and not pro-orange, but that picture is treading into the dangerous territory of being anti-orange. I'm not saying that we should use the most flattering picture of a sectioned orange available on the 'net, but surely a compromise can be reached. I nominate that it be removed or changed in favor of a more neutral picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.164.60.98 ( talk • contribs)

Official statement from the gay cabal, if there was one, which there isn't: There is no gay cabal. At all. There is no, I repeat no, massive conspiracy of hundreds of editors across several continents scheming via talkpage and hidden IRC channel (which if it existed, which it doesn't, would called #evilgaycabal, and the password to it would be "Mariah!") to carefully construct Wikipedia articles in such a manner that innocent young recruits children reading them will suddenly be possessed of an urge to wear pink (or flannel) and watch
Queer as Folk (or
The L Word) five times in a row before our crack
Faery teams swoop down on them and carry them off to our perverted nests high up in the Brokeback Mountains for unnatural instruction in lisping and DIY. No conspiracy at all. And there is no "gay cabal". In fact, the words gay cabal don't exist. You're imagining it. And yes we would revelling in the article right now if we existed, which we don't.

There is clearly a great deal of confusion here. The Battle of Trafalgar was in 1805, well after both acts of union. Why he chose to signal "England" rather than something more accurate is not known to me, although clearly it would have been a considerable pain in the arse to signal "The United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland Expects That Every Man Will Do His Duty" in semaphore. I'd still like Tourskin to point me to the discussions that provide reliable sources that the island of Great Britain (or the wider UK) was referred to habitually as "England" at the time - to the best of my knowledge, that just isn't true.

"Around this time he revealed that he considered himself to be bisexual and that he was having a non-romantic sexual relationship with band mate Anthony Kiedis; the two were often to be seen kissing or fondling one another in public and in fact had a high-sexual kiss in the video "Warped"."

I disagree. Anthony has said many times that he only kissed in the video to shock people, and there was no relationship of any kind involved. Besides, he's cute!!!!

Michael Phelps should be ranked, seeing as how if he were a country he would be in a tie for second with South Korea, behind only China. USA loses 5 golds due to Michael Phelps declaring independence, leaving them in fourth with only 4 gold medals. Phelps does indeed retain a tie for second, since the table sorts by gold medals, not total medals, and Michael comes before South in the alphabet.

---|---|---|---|---|---|

I saw Wesley Willis in concert once, in San Diego, California. I had no idea what I was in for, as I was there for a different band. My business partner Tim Shell's brother (Scott Shell) was touring with Wesley Willis, and drove across country with him. I went to see Scott.
Anyhow, from the first yelled "Don't make me madder than I already am" to the last song about licking Bactrian camel's asses, it was jaw-dropping.

In the section Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars#Spelling ending the entry about the Eastern gray(sic) squirrel is the humorous comment "The British are coming! The British are coming! To arms!" however in Paul_Revere#The_Midnight_Ride_of_Paul_Revere it is made clear that Revere did not shout the famous phrase later attributed to him ("The British are coming!"), largely because the mission depended on secrecy and the countryside was filled with British army patrols; also, most colonial residents at the time considered themselves British as they were all legally British subjects. Revere's warning, according to eyewitness accounts of the ride and Revere's own descriptions, was "The Regulars are coming out."

There is a whole section of this bio devoted to the fact that Gilliam did not direct any of the Harry Potter films. I actually updated and clarified it, even though I am one of those Wikipedians who generally feels that the Wikipedia is not the place to catalog things which might have happened, but didn't. In this case, there are a couple of extenuating circumstances: the Harry Potter books and movies were clearly inspired by Gilliam's (and the other Pythons') work, and Gilliam has commented on the fact that he was passed over for the Potter films. He is not the only Python to not direct any Harry Potter films: Terry Jones also has not directed any Potter films (nor, for that matter, has John Cleese.)

Much of the criticism I've read w/r/t the banners has included the "only Americans like these sorts of ads" trope....well honey, lemme tell ya, I'm an American and I'd rather be punched in the mouth than have to look at these ads. In fact, they give me a great, big sad. It's like the Tropicana repackaging launch and the new Pepsi logos all rolled up into one...then dunked in a feculent swamp of ordure and rolled in sprinkles. Capital-letter sprinkles. And don't even get me started about the cultural tone-deafness inherent in many of the slogans...or the way the contribution amounts were originally expressed in $USD...or refer to tax laws that only work in one country...Way to prove that we're not America-centric, hm?

I have heard it claimed that if a human's metabolic rate was somehow increased to match that of a hummingbird, the human would burst into flames. Is this true, and if so, how was it calculated?

This page is showing up on Special:Longpages. It currently has about 197 kB of readable prose, which is twice the 100K limit recommended by Wikipedia:Article size and according to that page would take about 2 hours for the typical person to actually read. Some details definitely need to be moved into subarticles.
I'm agnostic as to how this is done, but it seems like content is spread out among multiple sections and could be more easily moved or condensed if it were collected. I think the split between male and female sexuality is probably not helpful in this regard, and the article could be restructured along other lines. For example, I think we could collect all the law-related content and spin off "Sexuality and law in ancient Rome". All primary coverage of homosexuality and gender identity could be consolidated into a single shorter section, since we already have Homosexuality in ancient Rome. I think we could also spin off something like "Sexuality and art in ancient Rome", collecting content from several sections. For example, the long section "Breasts" has a lot of prose about artistic representations and cultural significance of breasts, which are not all that interesting to those that don't care about artsy things. -- Beland ( talk) 20:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
I enjoyed this article, but can you really call a cat a politician since he's unlikely to have any awareness at all of what his role entails?

Meltingpot ( talk) 11:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
We should not discriminate. A cat can be just as much as a politician as any other being. It would not be libellous to compare a politician to another, and this cat is a politician. Jorgesca ( talk) 19:34, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Sorry but I disagree. A cat can't take an active part in the political process, which is what a being has to do in order to be a politician. The only thing he could do (and then not reliably) is walk through the doors to one or other of the "Yes" or "No" lobbies whan a vote is called. Even then he'd be uniquely susceptible to bribes (since all you'd have to do to get his vote is put a plate of fish in one of the lobbies). So no, I don't think a cat can realistically be called a politician.
BTW, there's no picture for him above the article. Has it been taken down now?
Meltingpot ( talk) 11:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I just finished going through this article and fixing some of the links and formatting. I only really made a dent in what needs to be done, so I also left a tag at the top of the page. I think the article should probably be split into two parts because of how long its bound to become.

As long as infidelity keeps making headlines and as long as people feel they have to resign because of one and as long as someone keeps making family values, or traditional values or total honesty a campaign issue, I quess someone will have to keep track of them and keep them in perspective.

A couple of goodies picked up when having a "discussion" on PMTOK's genre. It is pretty big, I know. But cut me slack; the discussion was 70,000 bytes large, essays were sent back and forth. Here's a couple of direct quotes I found were goodies. – Le Panini
-A cut response when someone tried to join the discussion-
"You weren't even part of this discussion until the last couple of days! The consensus on this page was established LONG before you ever got here! Also, it's not my "personal opinion" when it's 100% FACT! Nintendo has misworded the games for years- that's a fact! The games are still RPGs- that's also a fact!"
-When asked about reliable sources and original research-
"I am strictly a facts-based person, meaning that I only ever go by information if it's 100% facts! That means that what I say CANNOT be considered "original research", because "original research" is NOT based on facts, whereas what I share is!"..."I don't spew lies and nonsense like the vast majority of so-called "gaming journalists" do- oh no! I only share the facts! There's a difference there- a HUGE one!"
"I am 100% fact based, which means that I acnnot BE wrong, as I only go by the honest facts! I do research into these things on my own- legitimate research mind you- NOT original research! Why you continue to refuse to accept that 99.9% of reviewers are entirely paid off to lie about these things is beyond me!"
-When evidence was suggested that the creator of the game (Kensuke Tanabe) calls the game action adventure-
"You're believing Kensuke Tanabe- a person whom I've already said cannot be taken seriously whatsoever! If you had done the proper research- like I have- you would know that Tanabe misunderstood...(a long paragraph why he's an idiot)
"I'm "dismissing" Tanabe because he's an idiot! He doesn't know a damn thing about RPGs in general, and neither do you!"..." I gave you factual proof that Tanabe is NOT to be trusted whatsoever, yet you continue to refuse to accept it out of the fact that your ego prevents you from accepting that you and the vast majority of other people are 100% wrong on everything regarding Paper Mario! The Paper Mario fanbase hates Tanabe and they know damn well that he is an incapable producer who should've moved on years ago."
-When asked to stop-
"Yeah- reverting my edits just because I'm right and you don't like that! Figures! It seems like you DON'T want Wikipedia to become a legitimately reliable source, because reverting the edits of the person who actually knows these things is just making you look even worse than you already are! How would you feel if I went onto every page you've ever edited and undid all of YOUR hard work? Huh? Of course, I'd never do such a thing, as I'm not a dick, but the question/point still remains! I'm sure you'd feel pretty pissed off, wouldn't you? Yep- I figured as much! For that reason, you shouldn't be reverting the edits of the expert in this department! Use your brain from now on, man! Come on now! Don't let your closed-mindedness/ego get in the way of accepting the truth! That wouldn't be good at all!"
-The result-
"Go archive it already. This whole debacle is just embarassing to read."

There are minority views mentioned on Wikipedia that I believe are due, and it is frustrating to see other editors misuse policy to exclude their mention or diminish their importance. I perceive this to be a an important problem to fix. That said, there is a bigger problem: proponents of unambiguously fringe views are successfully promoting them all over the encyclopedia. I would strongly oppose any policy changes that help solve the first problem by weakening the tools needed to solve the second. Firefangledfeathers ( talk) 15:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
That said, there is a bigger problem: proponents of unambiguously fringe views are successfully promoting them all over the encyclopedia.Is there really, Firefangledfeathers? I do humbly beg your pardon in pointing this out, but that sounds like a classic "bogeyman" type argument that has been used in the past over nonexistant/greatly exaggerated witches, communists, etc. I will grant you that that WAS once the case here, ~15 years ago; and there are still the junk/spam/promo articles that get published and not deleted, because nobody even sees them in the first place. But I wouldn't call that "successful" if no one even sees it. Nor would I call it a huge problem, just a very aggravating annoyance. But any mainstream, high traffic topic area nowadays, fringe material is just about never successfully added. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:D54B:F70E:14CC:5F15 ( talk) 02:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Ahem. If a person does not want their bio printed at all, then whatever you do to it, and no matter how you mess with it, you cannot be acting with the highest standards of love and respect for the dignity of others. In that case, these standards ("verifiable" writing, and love) are simply incompatable, even if you wish otherwise. At best, you may simply be an enabler or co-violator, who acts to mitigate the invasion of privacy, by acting to decrease the outrage. But that doesn't count if you give your assent to the whole process. Giving a drink in a torture chamber doesn't make you a saint if you assent to torture chambers. Being kind to a person in prison doesn't count if you assent to the imprisonment of a person who doesn't deserve to be there at all. If you've got two burglars in a house arguing over whether or not to steal just cash, but not an antique ring which might cause the owner some extra anguish, and one burglar starts talking about "standards of love and respect for the dignity of others," then you know somebody is mightily confused. People who care about love and respect for others don't violate their houses AT ALL. Nada. They don't engage in legalistic niceties about what's kosher to steal and what isn't. I hope that's enough metaphors for the day and that the point comes across. S B H arris 20:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The rise in suicide of young men often straight and white is rising. And derogatory terms like this are used to put down young white men who cant get girlfriends or sex. The article never talks about the derogatory use of the word and how it basically says that men who cant get sex or girlfriends are basically bad and should be ashamed of themselves. Lefty feminists who are misandristic use terms like this to put down and belittle men and its just sickening and not on. 77.99.182.75 ( talk) 20:59, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

The user Sauce5544 is currently engaged in a spree of additions to articles related to Egyptian modern history. Unfortunately, all of the material is unsourced, and, despite exhortation, the user seems to have their ears closed to the need to actually source the content they are adding. They've technically continued passed four warnings for the unsourced additions, but their behaviour is not typically vandalistic in nature, so advanced vetting and reporting is not really appropriate - and yet, an editor with absolutely zero interest in sourcing content is more of a hinderance than a help to the project.

I just saw a thread go by on IRC, the gist of which was "How do I recover my wiki account if I lost my 2FA device and don't have backup codes?" I'll avoid the whole "should I use 2FA?" minefield, but I will remind people that if you are using 2FA, make sure you've got backup codes set up, you remember where you've stored them, and know how to use them.
It might be a good idea to burn one code practicing the procedure, so you're sure you know how it works. I just did exactly that. When your phone with your 2FA generator gets run over by a bus is not the time to discover you don't have a backup strategy. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:42, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

JoelleJay ( talk) 22:32, 7 April 2023 (UTC)This article is extensive in its coverage of such a rich topic as Ontario Highway 11. It addresses the main points of Ontario Highway 11 in a way that isn’t just understandable to a reader, but also relatable.
While Ontario Highway 11 is brimming with fascinating background trivia, the article does a great job staying focused on the topic of Ontario Highway 11 without going into unnecessary detail that isn’t directly related to Ontario Highway 11.
Neutral point of view without bias is maintained perfectly in this article, despite Ontario Highway 11 being such a contentious and controversial topic.
Images are truly beautiful and done with expert photographic skill. They definitely enhance the reader’s understanding of Ontario Highway 11. Without them, I wouldn’t have any idea what the highway looks like. But thanks to these wonderful images, I now understand that Ontario Highway 11 is a paved road that vehicles use to travel.

So I've been dealing with someone who seems to push an anti-vaccine POV. I've been giving them rope, because it's likely that they've been misinformed themselves, but I noticed Drmies, who imposed a pblock on them earlier, has likely went to sleep by the time I suggested that he indefs the user (as I can't give rope forever). I'm not sure what to do, but the POV pushing is obvious, and the user who's being reported has repeatedly used the talk page of the article as a soapbox. There's also been an AIV report about them lingering, but I feel like it fits this venue better, as it's not obvious vandalism. LilianaUwU ( talk / contribs) 05:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

"Famous people from Abergele include Lisa Scott-Lee of Steps who went to school at Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan, and Geraint Archer, member of the REME in the army, who also attended Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan. Approximately 29% of Abergele has a significant knowledge of Welsh, but the town has a large population of people from England, namely Manchester and Liverpool.

He was diagnosed with depression in late 2006 when his girlfriend, local stripper from denbigh had been caught with local playboy, Simon Jones-"
Is all of this relevant? Surely the local language situation belongs elsewhere in the article. I can possibly see why Lisa Scott Lee is mentioned, but who are the others? Why should anyone care? I live in the town and I have never heard of them.

(( Plautus satire on Talk:Chess [1]. BEST EDIT EVAR - David Gerard 10:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC))
I have just made a few changes to the chess entry and when I get done picking my jaw up off the floor I'll finish typing this... `
\ *
Okay I'm ready now.
I find it very alarming that no mention was made in the overview that each player has 16 of the pieces for his own, only that there were 32 pieces. Would communists assume each player "owns" half the pieces? Yes, nitpicking, that's what we do here, we pick nits. Also no mention is made that the pieces are differentiated (usually by color though not always) and the squares on the board are also differentiated. There are many pictures, but what about the blind? Let me know if I'm too aggressive hunting nits here. To put it bluntly, that overview sucks a$$...
Scrolling down, however, we find over one hundred links to chess history, chess literature, chess moves, chess games, chess people, chess places, chess everything and this *BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* lousy overview.
I think the priorities of people around here are SERIOUSLY out of whack. - Plautus satire 14:54, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

In 1981, +1-areacode-903-5768 would not have been valid in most areas because a 0 or 1 in the second digit was reserved for area codes, while local exchanges could *not* have 0 or 1 in either of the first two digits. This was done so that calling a number like 1-234-5678 would actually reach (long distance) +1-your own area code-234-5678, something which was completely broken by issuing area codes with "wrong" middle digits from 1995 onward. In a few places which were short of numbers, this pattern was broken early (just for calls within that area code) by allowing 0 or 1 into the second digit of the local exchange (NYC and Chicago likely as early as the 1970's) but these were relatively rare. (A long-distance call from a +1-212- number to another in the same area code was too rare for this to matter as the code doesn't even reach to Brooklyn). The B52s had 606-0842 in a song title in the early 1980's, but in most places in North America that was an invalid number as it would be taken as area code 606 (eastern Kentucky) followed by 084-2xxx as an invalid local number (leading zero, and three digits too short). The number might exist now, but nobody cares as the corresponding vinyl album track was forgotten after only brief note three decades ago. 66.102.83.61 ( talk) 03:21, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
Does a zombie really engage in cannibalism? Zombies in fiction will eat humans but not other zombies. It seems to me that if a zombie ate a zombie or a human ate a human, both would be cannibalism. But since a zombie is no longer human, a zombie eating a human or a human eating a zombie would not be cannibalism. This argument was pointed out in Dawn of the Dead (1978).-- Burzum 4 July 2005 03:10 (UTC)
I added the following to the criticism section. It's actually quite a nice addition. I'd appreciate a response. thanks. From an analytical perspective, here's a comical summary of the nature of the series thus far: Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Jimmy Altieri was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Brendan Filone got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Big Pussy was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Richie Aprile got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Raymond Curto was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Jackie Jr. got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Jack Massarone was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Ralph Cifaretto got whacked. Tony fetched the paper in his robe. Adriana was a rat. Meadow needed to shut up. Tony Blundetto got whacked. And now...the sixth season premiere of The Sopranos. YAY! - Zarbon
- he fetched the paper in season 5 episode "Test Dream" in the plaza hotel, in his robe. so there. - Zarbon
Well spotted. So Zarbon ripped off a Television without Pity recap word for word except for the "Yay!". (which is a commercial copyright breach by the way) here's the link.
I didn't rip it off. it's good to add. i'm still wondering as to why it shouldn't be added actually. It pretty much sums up the series so well, it's unmistakingly perfect. I just liked it for the fact that Brendan Filone was mentioned, since he's my alltime favorite character and all. - Zarbon
I think it is only fair that someone take Zarbon out back and shoot him. And of course, pick up a newspaper.
hey, as long as i get shot right in the eye, like Brendan Filone, I'm happy. - Zarbon
This article alleges that Rodney King was on PCB even if it goes on to say that tests for PCB came up negative. The article itself refutes the claim. Also the speed King was driving at should be alleged, unless it was proven also. I find the article largely states the point of view of the police report as fact, even if the police were defendants in the issue. That, I think, is wrong. Also this article does little to cite its sources, eg. 'alleged by whom?' - 17:01, 9 February 2006

Now, I may be reading too much into this, but the above seems to imply that if semen is left on someone's lovelies, it might just be absorbed into the skin, pass through many layers of fat, muscle and tissue, and end up depositing itself in the vagina.

I don't think I know anyone short enough to have trouble keeping semen away from their bajingo, when it's on their boobies.

The following appears to be a conversation about the image at left.
I think this picture is unflattering if not disgusting. Who would want to eat an orange after seeing that picture? I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it were inserted by somebody in the apple industry (known to be unscrupulous) or somebody with an extreme dislike of oranges. A picture that unflattering does not occur by mistake and I'm quite certain there is an agenda behind it. I know that this page is meant to be informative and not pro-orange, but that picture is treading into the dangerous territory of being anti-orange. I'm not saying that we should use the most flattering picture of a sectioned orange available on the 'net, but surely a compromise can be reached.

The Wikipedia Gay Lobby must be revelling in this article. Articles such as this clearly demonstrate that advocates of homosexuality intend to strongly affect children, knowing that young people are easily influenced. Also, by emphasizing it as a feature article, the damage is maximized. Wikipedia should be ashamed of itself. Lestrade 19:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Lestrade

Official statement from the gay cabal, if there was one, which there isn't: There is no gay cabal. At all. There is no, I repeat no, massive conspiracy of hundreds of editors across several continents scheming via talkpage and hidden IRC channel (which if it existed, which it doesn't, would called #evilgaycabal, and the password to it would be "Mariah!") to carefully construct Wikipedia articles in such a manner that innocent young recruits children reading them will suddenly be possessed of an urge to wear pink (or flannel) and watch
Queer as Folk (or
The L Word) five times in a row before our crack
Faery teams swoop down on them and carry them off to our perverted nests high up in the Brokeback Mountains for unnatural instruction in lisping and DIY. No conspiracy at all. And there is no "gay cabal". In fact, the words gay cabal don't exist. You're imagining it. And yes we would revelling in the article right now if we existed, which we don't.

There is clearly a great deal of confusion here. The Battle of Trafalgar was in 1805, well after both acts of union. Why he chose to signal "England" rather than something more accurate is not known to me, although clearly it would have been a considerable pain in the arse to signal "The United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland Expects That Every Man Will Do His Duty" in semaphore. I'd still like Tourskin to point me to the discussions that provide reliable sources that the island of Great Britain (or the wider UK) was referred to habitually as "England" at the time - to the best of my knowledge, that just isn't true.

I disagree. Anthony has said many times that he only kissed in the video to shock people, and there was no relationship of any kind involved. Besides, he's cute!!!!

Michael Phelps should be ranked, seeing as how if he were a country he would be in a tie for second with South Korea, behind only China. USA loses 5 golds due to Michael Phelps declaring independence, leaving them in fourth with only 4 gold medals. Phelps does indeed retain a tie for second, since the table sorts by gold medals, not total medals, and Michael comes before South in the alphabet.

I saw Wesley Willis in concert once, in San Diego, California. I had no idea what I was in for, as I was there for a different band. My business partner Tim Shell's brother (Scott Shell) was touring with Wesley Willis, and drove across country with him. I went to see Scott.
Anyhow, from the first yelled "Don't make me madder than I already am" to the last song about licking Bactrian camel's asses, it was jaw-dropping.

In the section Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars#Spelling ending the entry about the Eastern gray(sic) squirrel is the humorous comment "The British are coming! The British are coming! To arms!" however in Paul_Revere#The_Midnight_Ride_of_Paul_Revere it is made clear that Revere did not shout the famous phrase later attributed to him ("The British are coming!"), largely because the mission depended on secrecy and the countryside was filled with British army patrols; also, most colonial residents at the time considered themselves British as they were all legally British subjects. Revere's warning, according to eyewitness accounts of the ride and Revere's own descriptions, was "The Regulars are coming out."

There is a whole section of this bio devoted to the fact that Gilliam did not direct any of the Harry Potter films. I actually updated and clarified it, even though I am one of those Wikipedians who generally feels that the Wikipedia is not the place to catalog things which might have happened, but didn't. In this case, there are a couple of extenuating circumstances: the Harry Potter books and movies were clearly inspired by Gilliam's (and the other Pythons') work, and Gilliam has commented on the fact that he was passed over for the Potter films. He is not the only Python to not direct any Harry Potter films: Terry Jones also has not directed any Potter films (nor, for that matter, has John Cleese.)

This page is showing up on Special:Longpages. It currently has about 197 kB of readable prose, which is twice the 100K limit recommended by Wikipedia:Article size and according to that page would take about 2 hours for the typical person to actually read. Some details definitely need to be moved into subarticles.
I'm agnostic as to how this is done, but it seems like content is spread out among multiple sections and could be more easily moved or condensed if it were collected. I think the split between male and female sexuality is probably not helpful in this regard, and the article could be restructured along other lines. For example, I think we could collect all the law-related content and spin off "Sexuality and law in ancient Rome". All primary coverage of homosexuality and gender identity could be consolidated into a single shorter section, since we already have Homosexuality in ancient Rome. I think we could also spin off something like "Sexuality and art in ancient Rome", collecting content from several sections. For example, the long section "Breasts" has a lot of prose about artistic representations and cultural significance of breasts, which are not all that interesting to those that don't care about artsy things. -- Beland ( talk) 20:49, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry but I disagree. A cat can't take an active part in the political process, which is what a being has to do in order to be a politician. The only thing he could do (and then not reliably) is walk through the doors to one or other of the "Yes" or "No" lobbies whan a vote is called. Even then he'd be uniquely susceptible to bribes (since all you'd have to do to get his vote is put a plate of fish in one of the lobbies). So no, I don't think a cat can realistically be called a politician.
BTW, there's no picture for him above the article. Has it been taken down now?

"You weren't even part of this discussion until the last couple of days! The consensus on this page was established LONG before you ever got here! Also, it's not my "personal opinion" when it's 100% FACT! Nintendo has misworded the games for years- that's a fact! The games are still RPGs- that's also a fact!"
-When asked about reliable sources and original research-
"I am strictly a facts-based person, meaning that I only ever go by information if it's 100% facts! That means that what I say CANNOT be considered "original research", because "original research" is NOT based on facts, whereas what I share is!"..."I don't spew lies and nonsense like the vast majority of so-called "gaming journalists" do- oh no! I only share the facts! There's a difference there- a HUGE one!"
"I am 100% fact based, which means that I acnnot BE wrong, as I only go by the honest facts! I do research into these things on my own- legitimate research mind you- NOT original research! Why you continue to refuse to accept that 99.9% of reviewers are entirely paid off to lie about these things is beyond me!"
-When evidence was suggested that the creator of the game (Kensuke Tanabe) calls the game action adventure-
"You're believing Kensuke Tanabe- a person whom I've already said cannot be taken seriously whatsoever! If you had done the proper research- like I have- you would know that Tanabe misunderstood...(a long paragraph why he's an idiot)
"I'm "dismissing" Tanabe because he's an idiot! He doesn't know a damn thing about RPGs in general, and neither do you!"..." I gave you factual proof that Tanabe is NOT to be trusted whatsoever, yet you continue to refuse to accept it out of the fact that your ego prevents you from accepting that you and the vast majority of other people are 100% wrong on everything regarding Paper Mario! The Paper Mario fanbase hates Tanabe and they know damn well that he is an incapable producer who should've moved on years ago."
-When asked to stop-
"Yeah- reverting my edits just because I'm right and you don't like that! Figures! It seems like you DON'T want Wikipedia to become a legitimately reliable source, because reverting the edits of the person who actually knows these things is just making you look even worse than you already are! How would you feel if I went onto every page you've ever edited and undid all of YOUR hard work? Huh? Of course, I'd never do such a thing, as I'm not a dick, but the question/point still remains! I'm sure you'd feel pretty pissed off, wouldn't you? Yep- I figured as much! For that reason, you shouldn't be reverting the edits of the expert in this department! Use your brain from now on, man! Come on now! Don't let your closed-mindedness/ego get in the way of accepting the truth! That wouldn't be good at all!"
-The result-
"Go archive it already. This whole debacle is just embarassing to read."

I think this article was misleading in saying that I "recognized" Wikipe-tan. My removal of the sexualized version from commons was in no way an endorsement of the standard versions. I don't like Wikipe-tan and never have.

There are minority views mentioned on Wikipedia that I believe are due, and it is frustrating to see other editors misuse policy to exclude their mention or diminish their importance. I perceive this to be a an important problem to fix. That said, there is a bigger problem: proponents of unambiguously fringe views are successfully promoting them all over the encyclopedia. I would strongly oppose any policy changes that help solve the first problem by weakening the tools needed to solve the second. Firefangledfeathers ( talk) 15:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
That said, there is a bigger problem: proponents of unambiguously fringe views are successfully promoting them all over the encyclopedia.Is there really, Firefangledfeathers? I do humbly beg your pardon in pointing this out, but that sounds like a classic "bogeyman" type argument that has been used in the past over nonexistant/greatly exaggerated witches, communists, etc. I will grant you that that WAS once the case here, ~15 years ago; and there are still the junk/spam/promo articles that get published and not deleted, because nobody even sees them in the first place. But I wouldn't call that "successful" if no one even sees it. Nor would I call it a huge problem, just a very aggravating annoyance. But any mainstream, high traffic topic area nowadays, fringe material is just about never successfully added. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:D54B:F70E:14CC:5F15 ( talk) 02:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Ahem. If a person does not want their bio printed at all, then whatever you do to it, and no matter how you mess with it, you cannot be acting with the highest standards of love and respect for the dignity of others. In that case, these standards ("verifiable" writing, and love) are simply incompatable, even if you wish otherwise. At best, you may simply be an enabler or co-violator, who acts to mitigate the invasion of privacy, by acting to decrease the outrage. But that doesn't count if you give your assent to the whole process. Giving a drink in a torture chamber doesn't make you a saint if you assent to torture chambers. Being kind to a person in prison doesn't count if you assent to the imprisonment of a person who doesn't deserve to be there at all. If you've got two burglars in a house arguing over whether or not to steal just cash, but not an antique ring which might cause the owner some extra anguish, and one burglar starts talking about "standards of love and respect for the dignity of others," then you know somebody is mightily confused. People who care about love and respect for others don't violate their houses AT ALL. Nada. They don't engage in legalistic niceties about what's kosher to steal and what isn't. I hope that's enough metaphors for the day and that the point comes across. S B H arris 20:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The rise in suicide of young men often straight and white is rising. And derogatory terms like this are used to put down young white men who cant get girlfriends or sex. The article never talks about the derogatory use of the word and how it basically says that men who cant get sex or girlfriends are basically bad and should be ashamed of themselves. Lefty feminists who are misandristic use terms like this to put down and belittle men and its just sickening and not on. 77.99.182.75 ( talk) 20:59, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

The user Sauce5544 is currently engaged in a spree of additions to articles related to Egyptian modern history. Unfortunately, all of the material is unsourced, and, despite exhortation, the user seems to have their ears closed to the need to actually source the content they are adding. They've technically continued passed four warnings for the unsourced additions, but their behaviour is not typically vandalistic in nature, so advanced vetting and reporting is not really appropriate - and yet, an editor with absolutely zero interest in sourcing content is more of a hinderance than a help to the project.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Teahouse, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You shouldn’t edit or delete people’s messages without permission. Thank you.

I just saw a thread go by on IRC, the gist of which was "How do I recover my wiki account if I lost my 2FA device and don't have backup codes?" I'll avoid the whole "should I use 2FA?" minefield, but I will remind people that if you are using 2FA, make sure you've got backup codes set up, you remember where you've stored them, and know how to use them.
It might be a good idea to burn one code practicing the procedure, so you're sure you know how it works. I just did exactly that.

While Ontario Highway 11 is brimming with fascinating background trivia, the article does a great job staying focused on the topic of Ontario Highway 11 without going into unnecessary detail that isn’t directly related to Ontario Highway 11.
Neutral point of view without bias is maintained perfectly in this article, despite Ontario Highway 11 being such a contentious and controversial topic.
Images are truly beautiful and done with expert photographic skill. They definitely enhance the reader’s understanding of Ontario Highway 11. Without them, I wouldn’t have any idea what the highway looks like. But thanks to these wonderful images, I now understand that Ontario Highway 11 is a paved road that vehicles use to travel.

So I've been dealing with someone who seems to push an anti-vaccine POV. I've been giving them rope, because it's likely that they've been misinformed themselves, but I noticed Drmies, who imposed a pblock on them earlier, has likely went to sleep by the time I suggested that he indefs the user (as I can't give rope forever). I'm not sure what to do, but the POV pushing is obvious, and the user who's being reported has repeatedly used the talk page of the article as a soapbox. There's also been an AIV report about them lingering, but I feel like it fits this venue better, as it's not obvious vandalism. LilianaUwU ( talk / contribs) 05:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is that I found a bunch of categories that were tracking deprecated template parameters but that weren't members of Category:Deprecated parameters. The bad news is the same.

There are millions of games out there that rather deserve a Wikipedia entry. This article just seems to be more advertisement for a really crappy game with no gameplay value, but provocation instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.253.186.62 ( talk) 14:40, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

I was told when I tried to save the article that only an admin could do this. A red screen popped up and said I can't save it because the article name had been flagged. Can you please look into this?

"Famous people from Abergele include Lisa Scott-Lee of Steps who went to school at Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan, and Geraint Archer, member of the REME in the army, who also attended Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan. Approximately 29% of Abergele has a significant knowledge of Welsh, but the town has a large population of people from England, namely Manchester and Liverpool. Famous DJ, Daniel Jones , who came to fame on Denbigh Radio, attended local school Emrys ap Iwan. He was diagnosed with depression in late 2006 when his girlfriend, local stripper from denbigh had been caught with local playboy, Simon Jones-"
Is all of this relevant? Surely the local language situation belongs elsewhere in the article. I can possibly see why Lisa Scott Lee is mentioned, but who are the others? Why should anyone care? I live in the town and I have never heard of them.
