Hi Serial Number 54129, I did not see your final comment to me at AN before the thread was closed, but since it was one of a few odd edits by you in that general topic I wanted to bring those odd edits up to you. Namely, you twice made the troll thread by Peak Debt into a subthread of Fram's legitimate thread about Legacypac, which it clearly was not: [1], [2]; the second time you used the threatening edit summary of "@Softlavender. Do not do that again". When I reverted you again I also posted a polite request in the thread itself: "Serial Number 54129, this (Peak Debt's troll thread) was not and is not a subthread of Fram's thread; please do not make it one -- it makes Fram's thread all that much harder to participate in. Thank you." You replied: "Dear Softlavender. Have you sued your optician. Yours, etc.". I'm not sure where this is all coming from, but I would appreciate it if you would avoid that behavior in the future.

BTW, you had previously, in Fram's thread, made a very odd comment directed at the admin Fish and karate: "Fish and karate if you wish to change the sense of what you have written as you did here, please strike it out rather than delete it. Thank you." [3]. It's very clear to anyone looking at the diff you posted that he had only removed a duplicate of his own signature, as he explained in the edit summary. Fish+karate had the good grace to ignore your remark, however I'm mentioning here it because it became one of several odd edits and aspersions. All in all, please be more careful in the future to avoid these inaccurate aspersions and accusations. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 04:22, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out to me regarding the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez article situation.

Under the "Political Positions" section, Ocasio was quoted as being furious about the Israeli military shooting 60 protesters during the 2018 Gaza border protests. Her quote makes abundantly clear that she believes that the protesters were a peaceful group voicing opinions, but that is the exact opposite of the truth. That part of the article cried out for balance, which I provided, using two sources, one of which was CNN (I forget the other, but it had verbatim quotes from Ocasio). I further note that the above-mentioned 2018 Gaza border protests article, which has been edit-protected for months, fully backs up what I wrote. It is therefore very frustrating for me to see that an editor named Tsumikiria not only reverted all my edits, he accused me of "severe BLP" violations, further accused me of "defamation" of the character of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and went on to open a Talk Page discussion in an attempt to revoke my edit credentials. I maintain that I absolutely stayed within WP:BLP guidelines, as shown by my sourcing, and as supported by the 2018 Gaza border protests article, which clearly shows the facts to be as I placed them into the article.

On the flip side, Tsumikiria has shown himself to have major WP:NPOV violations. Aside from removing all the appropriate balance I added (including, bizarrely, undoing the capitalization of "arab" into "Arab"), Tsumikiria went on to remove any content that showed Ocasio in a questionable light, as well as content (in addition to my edits) that falsely painted Israel as anything besides a wanton murderer of innocents. (Again, please read through the 2018 Gaza protest border article, which makes plainly clear that Israel was fending off armed Hamas members who were committing violent acts). My interest, as always, is in well-written, fair Wikipedia articles. Unfortunately, my computer skills are severely lacking (at 47 years of age, I am hardly a digital native). When someone with major POV issues starts stepping all over my edits, it can be extremely frustrating, partially because my limited tech skills make it hard for me to know how to properly respond within WP guidelines. If you are able to step in and resolve ths issue in a fair way, I would be most grateful. Thank you, Vcuttolo (talk) 08:34, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

54129, Crap? How so? It was very logical and is helpful to improving Wikipedia, that's what the whole message was about. You had no objection to anything i said, you simply called it crap. Spam, i sent it to 3 users, when did that become spamming?? So, what is your opinion, should Wikipedia be fact based material or a media outlet (crap)? O3000, Im' autistic, sorry it took 2 days to figure the rules out. No need to make things up about me, you removed/redacted an objection i had for no reason other than it conflicting with your opinion which is the opinion of journalists, then restated the information as if you were teaching me something. Just to put it out there, The operation within the basement was disinformation, the "killroom" was discovered to be at a museum, that bit was never mentioned by media claiming to debunk the conspiracy. I thought the point of this is to help Wikipedia, sorry that users seem to think that fictional material can be used as factual material, maybe that is a reason Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source of information, as i have already stated. (Crimadella (talk) 18:33, 5 November 2018 (UTC))Crimadella (talk) 18:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC) I would suggest, as an aid for Wikipedia, such material should be removed altogether. It can neither be confirmed to be factual nor fictional, conspiracy & political agenda have no place in an encyclopedia, is this an encyclopedia?? Or a media outlet?? Crimadella (talk) 19:22, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

The flaw, defined by Wikipedia it's self. Encyclopedia = fact based material about any given subject. Journalism may have approval of peers but is not a source of "fact" based material. Therefor deception is at hand, insuring readers that they are reading fact based material yet often cited by journalism, where bias opinions and flawed research are commonly expressed as fact based material. I would suggest that Wikipedia would gain more ground, acceptance, respect and funding if it stuck more to "fact based material" rather than citing journalism which is often flawed in fact based material. That would be the purpose that many specialists will not recommend Wikipedia as a source of reliable information. Pizzagate, a conspiracy theory, and i'm sure many others, has been deemed by mass media and journalism to be made up then presented on Wikipedia as a "Debunked Conspiracy Theory" which is more opinion than fact based. Personal research i understand cannot be used as Verifiable but in the same light neither can journalism and media reports, the only thing you would be verifying is that a journalist wrote an article about any given subject, which actually doesn't have to be "fact based", as mistakes and bias opinions are very common within journalism. I would say that it is very wrong for a project which calls itself an encyclopedia with fact based material to cite journalists personal agendas and opinions as if it is fact, as even peer-reviewed journalism is full of disinformation and flaws. You can't present something as a fact then cite it with a source of non-factual information. I did my own research on pizzagate and the pedogate theory it morphed into, what i found flawed about the journalists debunking is they actually picked the things that could be debunked, false claims and made up material(disinformation), while failing to even mention the bits of information that was verifiable. With this particular strategy anything someone could suggest is a real conspiracy could be "debunked" even if the conspiracy was factual. All you need is a conspiracy, produce false information to add to it, then debunk the information you produced. A real "debunking" must debunk all claims, not hand picked claims which can be debunked. Concerning pizzagate & pedogate, this has never been achieved, yet deemed to be debunked even on something calling itself an encyclopedia, factual based material. If you dislike my research and opinions, that's fine, but this actually applies to anything, not just conspiracy theories and is my theory of why little respect is given to Wikipedia from professionals of nearly every field.

• @Any watchers: if any of you happens to want an object lesson in WP:NOTHERE, I think the above suffices; less than a week's tenure, yet already banned from one user's talk page, and having a grand total of eight messages to user talkpages and two to article talk. Both of those were (correctly) removed per WP:NOTFORUM. The same crap is now being spammed over multiple talk pages. ——SerialNumber54129 17:45, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I put in the quotation marks again as I explained in my original edit. Please understand the use of correct English in this instance. If a conservative uses "Alt-left" as a smear, they are not implying a false equivalence to the Alt-right. They are implying an ACTUAL equivalence. The implication of the equivalence is not "false" to the person making the implication. It is only "false" to the commentator on the implication, such as Mark Pitcavage, an analyst at the Anti-Defamation League (whom is obviously biased against the implication). He calls it a "false equivalence" in the linked source. It should therefore be in quotation marks only. If you remove these quotation marks, you are making this page non-neutral, and slanted towards his opinion, making it into a fact. It is not a fact that far left has no equivalence to the far right in terms of violence. It is an OPINION only. Many will disagree with this opinion. The Far left are well known to use violence and direct action as a tactic, as are the far right. Quotation marks must remain for quoted opinions. Thanks for your understanding.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Serial Number 54129 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm afraid this must be declined at this time. It is mostly just a list of bold headings with no prose (and, therefore, no factual, encyclopaedic information), just a list of references. They on their own do not (cannot) indicate a subject's notability. Please see My first article for information on how to structure an article; please also see our advice / warnings regarding promoting a subject on Wikipedia and how Wikipedia is not a trade directory for your company. Talking of "your" company, if you have any connection with the subject, either professionally or personally, you may have a conflict of interst. This is discouraged as when one has a conflict of interest, one is unlikely, with the best will in the world, to be able to edit neutrally on the issue.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

The Indian news media has a tendency towards hyperbolae and sensationalism, which gets stronger the further you get from the most staid English-language publications.

I stay away from FA because my observation is that there are too many unwritten arbitrary rules there. Nonetheless, in most cases if you personally were to ask me to make a pass (with a lighter touch than applied to poor Miss Linsley) I'd be happy to do that, but this particular article is far too specialized for me to pretend to be able to add anything. I did adapt one of the footnotes to good purpose, though [5].

BTW Google translates Comme un Indien dans son igloo as Come do Indian dance you son of igloo but I fail to grasp the significance.

"I just thought you cut out all the interesting context". I concur - I'm not particularly "up" on train geekery but even I know what rolling stock is. Just randomly putting the phrase through standard news sources suggests it's a perfectly recognisable layman term. I see your point about the specifics of Class 415s getting into extreme nerdery, but in that case I think the link gives you the full share of train porn if you're into that sort of thing.

Great work on William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville, that really puts Lionheart0317 and my petty squabble into perspective. You should be cloned a few thousand times and set to work on rewriting the whole of Wikipedia :) You must expect me to ask, though, why you've not mentioned the disputed parentage of Philippa Bonville, as you agreed was appropriate when you gave us your third opinion here.  —SMALLJIM  22:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

• @Smalljim: Many thanks for the kind message. I'll day here that I'm not particularly wedded to either perspective, but, yes, my position has shifted slightly, to reflect what i discovered in the sources. Perhaps I should post on the article talk page? Having said that, and whatever gets said elsewher, I have to say I'm not a fan of Lionheart's approach to collaboration. —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 13:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

It's such a tiny point that the pages of argument must be in line for lamest edit war of 2018. But it does have some significance because of a Royal descent for living people if Philippa (P) was Bonville's (B) daughter.

A quick summary... Before Lionheart started on the article it excluded P from B's children; in this version solely citing Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry (2011) - extracts are readable via Google Books (pp. 256-7). Lionheart was right to amend this, but he went too far, leaving P as B's daughter, citing J. S. Roskell and History of Parliament (1993). He has vigorously defended this position.

My position, after some research, is that P's parentage still isn't known for certain despite years of genealogical research that have attacked the problem from many different angles. In 2017, Richardson set out the reasons for his decision on soc.genealogy.medieval here. We don't know why the editors of History of Parliament made their decision. Lionheart goes on about new research of 2018, but this hasn't been published.

So in order to not mislead our readers, I think we should include a (very!) brief note of the uncertainty.  —SMALLJIM  15:05, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm intrigued by this edit and its immediate revert. What does it indicate?  —SMALLJIM  12:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

@Smalljim: It indicates I then forgot to post on the talk :) Anyway, that's what the original footnote said in the previous version, so it's up to you and Lionheart to chew the cud and decide how you want to proceed. My original "willingness" to compromise with the footnote in the original version was because, with the paucity of sources available in it, it seemed as if there was indeed a divided body of opinion. But the re-writing of it has—for me—cast new light. Personally, I now lean towards the view that it's stretching credibility slightly to say that there is any kind of debate among historians when I have provided ~70 sources (and remember they are only a (large) percentage of the sources I actually examined), all of which represent a substantial cross-section of late-20C. scholarship and all of whom say only that she was his daughter. And, indeed, the only character cited as saying otherwise seems neither a specialist of the period or, arguably, a historian at all (a genealogist?)—to the extent that they are cited no-where else in the article. Personally, I suspect that it's verging on the WP:FRINGE, probably originating with a 17C. palaeographical error, although that's my personal OR of course. Thanks for the update, and let's hope this is resolved soon! Take care, —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 13:14, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for that reasoned reply – it's a pleasant change from what I've been dealing with recently! There would be no point in attempting to discuss further with Lionheart (he's already gleefully restored his full-fat footnote and refs to one of the other relevant articles – note the edit summary). I do think you're underestimating the important part that RS genealogical researchers (in this case Fitch-Northen (1979) and Richardson, thrice) play in examining the facts that historians who, while writing about something more interesting, will just mention in passing and will copy sans check from their sources. And surely you're over-egging somewhat the number of sources that even mention Philippa – certainly not all 70 of yours do! But I think on balance that I won't pursue this further. I don't want your GAN to go down through the possibility of continued edit warring, and not mentioning the issue at all is closer to what it should be, compared to taking up half of the entire article as it did in Lionheart's preferred version. Thanks again.  —SMALLJIM  18:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

@Smalljim: Not at all, I think if you think it's significant enough to mention, then so it should be. Indeed, a) I didn't know about Norton-Fitch, so there's another, and b) true about the number of sources which mention her at all = very few, which is really why I just can't get excited about the significance. Some of that attitude is really unsavoury, and I certainly don't like being namechecked like that. Perhaps change the footnote I added to what you think it would say? Never mind the GA, green blobs are irrelevant to most  :) —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 18:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

That's very decent of you. I'll give it further thought.  —SMALLJIM  10:03, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

And the further thought is that yes, I will add a brief footnote as you suggest. I'll explain on Talk:William Bonville, 1st Baron Bonville. Tomorrow...  —SMALLJIM  23:58, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Serial Number 54129. Firstly many thanks for the additions to Siege of Berwick (1333). Useful stuff there, you clearly have access to some handy sources. Secondly, as you are no doubt aware, the article picked up an assessor for its GAN, Zawed, on 29 July, who gave his initial thoughts on 5 August. Obviously the assessment has been put on hold while you are adding significant material to the article. I was wondering if you know when you are likely to have finished adding to the article. I am not trying to hurry you - this is Wikipedia, you can edit what you want, when you want - but, again obviously, Zawed doesn't want to waste his time commenting on an article which is in flux, nor I mine on addressing them when it may be pointless. As the creator and nominator of the article you will understand my interest. Thanks again for the input. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:46, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

There are multiple editors involved with a major agreeing with me there was ongoing discussion as well and no revert had taken place for many hours. Warning one editor is improper not an aspersion. You need to be more careful. Thank you Valoem ^{talk contrib} 16:49, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

From a nearby pub called The Turkey (it only closed a couple of years ago). English place names are rarely as interesting as one expects them to be. ‑ Iridescent 13:27, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

I think Westward Ho! is quite interesting, myself. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:18, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Interestingly, the Victoria County History says that Turkey street was first recorded in 1427. ——SerialNumber54129 12:30, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Not as unusual as you'd think; remember, Turkey Street connects Ermine Street and the Great North Road, and the area was traditionally the first/last stop for travellers between the North and London (hence the Eleanor Cross just up the road). Beneath the post-industrial shithole veneer of the corridor between Seven Sisters and Cheshunt, there are a surprising number of medieval survivals both in the placenames and the landscape. ‑ Iridescent 13:11, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Binod Basnet has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Binod Basnet (talk) 19:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

@Binod Basnet: No, I will probably treat you in the manner to which you are currently becoming accustomed. The bottom line is that you should stop fucking about on other users' pages; yes, self-reverting is not usually an issue, but when it directly follows another refactoring of their talk page (on the phenomenally dubious grounds that, supposedly—but patently falsely—because This user doesn't reply to the messages posted on his talk page) then you can hardly expect your subsequent refactoring to be treated as anything other than trolling. That, my friend, is precisely the position you stand in now: edit-warring on someone else's talk, and it is not a position conducive to the retention of one's editing abilities. ——SerialNumber54129 19:46, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

I thought you were one of the greatest Wikipedians. Think this is just a self revert. Edit summary is not highly inappropriate but your reply here is. Don't warn me about blocking just because you are more experienced. WBG is great editor. You are not happy with my warning then how can I be with yours. Take it easy. Happy editing. --Binod Basnet (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

@John Ferrar (merchant):The purpose of the hatnote was to warn off visitors who might assume, as so many have, that the subject of this article was the father of William Farrar (settler). Kind of a public service for interested visitors of whom there are legion. There is a mistaken belief, rectified in the 1940's, but still held by many that Nicholas Ferrar's father, also named Nicholas was the father of said William. There is ambiguity, in the public sphere, but not on wikipedia. I have created an article for John Ferrar, father of said William, although he was a wealthy London Merchant, whose wealth financed his sons venture and even the transport of some 40 persons to Virginia. He is not a notable in his own right per the standards of WP, so the draft just sits there until I can find some references that make him notable Draft:John Ferrar (merchant), so my purpose was in fact disambiguation, but in the general realm, not WP, and it is in the general realm that the public come from to seek informaton and I think it good to not contribute to ambiguity. Dont' youOldperson (talk) 23:43, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, Oldperson, but the purpose of the hatnote is to disambiguate within Wikipedia...not without it :)

Hello, and thank you for giving me credit for when Parliament of 1327 appears at TFA.

Is there any chance you could help me out at talk:Mike D'Orso? I am not sure what to do with the user who appears to be the subject of the article, whether it is appropriate to label them as a ghostwriter, or even if they are notable.

Thank you again, GreyGreenWhy (talk) 09:22, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Why did you revert my attempt to make a Heading on John Ferrar. are you also Bri.public? Who first made the change? It looked like vandalism to me since it is an almost insignificant change and the Virginia and the Self Governance of Virginians should have it's own heading. Why don't you think it doesn't. It was originally named Roll in the Virginia Company and somebody changed it. I didn't quibble with the change, but I don't understand the rationale behind your change.

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Serial Number 54129, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. MarnetteD|Talk 21:00, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

@Serial Number 54129: Is it inappropriate to make a non article comment explaining that I have corrected a critique as I did here [[7]] and which you deleted On another article a similar critique was made and subsequently corrected, however other editors came along and saw the critique and quoted it back to me without bothering to see that it was corrected. I think that making such a notice is entirely appropriate I am aware of The@Theroadislong:’s declination I am working on that.Oldperson (talk) 17:19, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
