January songs

in friendship

Happy new year! - Today I show yesterday's snow (if you click on "songs") and today's music in memory of Jerome Kohl, a friend --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too, Gerda! 28bytes (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see another active admin. Also 'crat, whatever they do :). HighInBC ^{Need help? Just ask.} 01:41, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! It’s good to be back. 28bytes (talk) 01:55, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bah. Wasn't onwiki last night after all. Missed it. But delighted you're back in the fold. --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 08:42, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking at the Former Admin list to check about an editor I was unfamiliar with and saw that you had chosen to pick up the mop again! Welcome back! Well, a belated welcome back. I don't check in on the noticeboards like I did when I was a new editor. There's too much work to do to get pulled into the constant conflicts although maybe the drama boards need a few more admins to look into disputes.

Any way, we can really use your help and experience so thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:54, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to stay away from DYK, but with the current CofE issues, I saw this one, which you approved. Care to check again? The source for the claim starts with "STATE of Nebraska, Appellee, v. ONE 1970 2-DOOR SEDAN RAMBLER (GREMLIN), Appellant." Which, uh, is not what the article or the DYK hook states. Fram (talk) 17:05, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I will take another look. 28bytes (talk) 17:06, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: OK, I think I see the problem (please correct me if I'm wrong.) Let's start with the article, then discuss the hook. The lede should say "It was brought by the owner of a Rambler Gremlin, whose car was seized by the American state of Nebraska on the grounds it was transporting illegal marijuana" (or something similar) rather than "It was brought by the American state of Nebraska to seize a Rambler Gremlin on the grounds it was transporting illegal marijuana." Also, "defendant" in the second paragraph should be changed to "appellant" or perhaps simply "party". Thoughts? 28bytes (talk) 17:35, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the page and hook had the case completely reversed, which was a bit strange... Fram (talk) 17:50, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's fixed. Thanks for catching that. I'll reopen the review and propose a new hook that better reflects who sued whom. I appreciate your vigilance! 28bytes (talk) 18:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This continues. In my opinion, your original review was right. Happy editing. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:02, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, 7&6, I just read the extended discussion there and I’m glad you and the other subject matter experts were able to clarify things. 28bytes (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I said it wouldn't be easy. "Fools rush in ..." but lawyers do research and choose their battles. You were right in the first place; and the resistance that developed was peculiar to the terrain and the players. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:10, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
