Notice of topic ban

Pursuant to the Arbitration Enforcement request here, you are topic-banned indefinitely from pages and content related to genetically modified organisms, broadly construed. The rationale for the topic ban is given in the linked enforcement request. The topic ban may be appealed by the usual means, described here. Violations of the topic ban will result in blocks from editing. MastCell  19:54, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

What an injustice. Double-standards are being applied to the other editors who were edit-warring, who needlessly brought the action. Prokaryotes, please appeal. I would have done it for you if that was permissible, but apparently you have to. --David Tornheim (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, i begun the process, first step ask the enforcing admin to reconsider. Thanks for your support David. prokaryotes (talk) 21:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Just last week we cordially allowed editors to revert their own work after a warning of 1RR violation, and editors seemed to appreciate this more peaceful approach. Why have we suddenly reverted to nastiness? David is right about double standards. petrarchan47คุก 15:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Deglaciation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russell Glacier. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Something else came up which needs most of my attention in the upcoming weeks. If you require my input and it's important (RfC etc), post below, then a notification will alert me. I will keep following the next couple of days the current ARB issue i am involved in, but besides that not much from my side. Cheers. prokaryotes (talk) 08:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Climate action for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Climate action is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Climate action until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shritwod Shritwod (talk) 02:10, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Luminiferous AE just beneath a bevelled edge of light but ultimately the near presence FYI. I mentioned you here, but ping probably didn't work. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:19, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Good points in your comment over there, David Tornheim. Who ever might be concerned, i will not return to editing until WP cleans up their mess on such topics. Would be interested on the outcome, maybe ping me the result later, thx. prokaryotes (talk) 22:07, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Of concern?

While editing ExxonMobil climate change controversy, I had added a link to the previously visible article "climate action" (now redirected to climate change mitigation, while you appeared to have been "self requested blocked") to which you seem to be the major contributor. Is this information a duplication, or does it go somewhere else? 69.58.42.90 (talk) 22:11, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Climate action was a different article with different content, the content has not been added to the mitigation page. Old article content can be seen here https://web.archive.org/web/20160416085400/https://en.wikipedia.org/Climate_action prokaryotes (talk) 11:52, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

May 2017

Hello, I'm Tornado chaser. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Multiple-vortex tornado, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. But thanks for your other edits orgainizing the page! Tornado chaser (talk) 03:14, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

The source was a video trailer, but Misplaced Pages has YouTube blacklisted, which i became aware when submitting the edit. So i decided to keep it there anyway, you can have content remain with a citation needed. prokaryotes (talk) 09:53, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

refresher

I've noticed you use "landmark" here or there. Please take a refresher peak at WP:PUFFERY. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 11:48, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, the source called it that, besides feel free to edit it out, np. prokaryotes (talk) 12:06, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Words that are ordinarily puffery are not puffery when they appear in a properly attributed quote that is, in other respects, appropriate to include. So if I misunderstood the way it was used, my apologies.NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:21, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

NewsAndEventsGuy, maybe we should have even an article for that report, seems significant enough to me (authors include Keeling, Revelle, Broecker and others) prokaryotes (talk) 12:12, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

That's a different topic, and I have no commment either way at this time. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:21, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Tban on boundarylayer

To be honest, it's too bad you closed that so early, I'd support it.  Ҝ Ø Ƽ Ħ  15:41, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, i thought in regards to WP:AGF, and it is so time consuming. prokaryotes (talk) 15:43, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Can you explain to me user:KoshVorlon, why you would've supported a blanket topic ban? As up to now, you had been apparently suggesting that I did not adhere to your desired interpretation of WP:OUTING and that, that was allegedly, your only concern? Yet here I read that in truth, you both have a desire to see me topic banned from any-and-all climate related articles? What a curiously targeted ban proposal...Can you understand why I find this especially suspicious?

As you don't just want to see me banned from biographies, or whatever, which would be somewhat understandable if your OUTING concerns had in fact, been genuine. Instead, you both wish me banned from any-and-all "climate related articles". That's quite telling of your true motivations for starting this obvious stream of bloviated charges. You, do get that right?

In any case, it is lovely to see you both here, finally being honest about your ultimate motivations for starting this obvious charade of fake-charges and censorship attempts.

It's been very illuminating getting to know you two and what you are apparently willing to do and say, to get what you two ultimately desired. I am indebted to User:Nyttend and other straight-shooters like User:Murph9000 for keeping wikipedia honest and stopping your crusade against me. Keep it up, with fan-users like Porkaryotes and Kosh, seemingly masquerading around the place. The project definitely needs you.

Hi. Just letting you know that reflist|2/3/4 are all deprecated per Template:Reflist#Columns. If you don't know the best ways to format these are:

• {{reflist|35em}} for 2 columns (equivalent to reflist|2)
• {{reflist|30em}} for 3 columns (equivalent to reflist|3)
• {{reflist|40em}} for 4 columns (equivalent to reflist|4)

Harvey frolix

Had to laugh while searching for sources; "Activists wasted no time in using Hurricane Harvey to tout their political agenda of climate change and global warming." Says Breitbart, who of course aren't activists, don't have a political agenda, and are all in favour of climate change and global warming. Will Harvey (film) come next? . dave souza, talk 19:19, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Btw, because of your comment about the spinoff page, i looked at it, and noticed it was a complete mess.

You say there is an Rfc still ongoing but you did not readd that when you removed my fair compromise rewording...which further proves your inability to be neutral.--MONGO 15:01, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

talk page ds templates

Just FYI in case you don't know.... with reference to this edit, I noticed you'e paying attention to the clerkish job of updating DS templates at the top of article talk pages. If you don't know, those are - maybe - helpful reminders that DS applies. Personally, I doubt anyone pays any attention to them, but they don't hurt anything. The important thing I wanted to revisit, which you may already know, is that the presence (or absence) of the talk page template has no procedural effect. When an edit falls under the scope of some decision that invokes DS, there is a test for whether DS can be imposed on an editor. That test says nothing whatsoever about the talk page templates. All that matters is that an editor is "aware" that DS applies, and the test for measuring awareness is here - Misplaced Pages:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#Awareness. 'course maybe you knew all that, in which case, nevermind. Either way, the talk page templates can't hurt but I still think no one pays them any attention.

Thanks, was trying to figure this out earlier. prokaryotes (talk) 10:57, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anoxic waters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sulfur bacteria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

"tropical transitioning cyclones"

At tropical cyclone by "tropical transitioning cyclones" do you intend tropical cyclone transitioning into extra-tropical cyclone? X1\ (talk) 22:25, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Based on CAT 6, I came to the related study, which cites tropical transitioning cyclones. If you can improve that, why not? Maybe also a very plain basic description such as a previously in the tropics originated cyclone, or something along the lines. prokaryotes (talk) 22:28, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

What do you think of a "higher category" article to tropical cyclones and climate change, which includes extratropical cyclones and typhoon (and any other regional names)? X1\ (talk) 22:32, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I think this was suggested, and CAT 6 hints at it, but it would require at least two credible studies to justify an article. prokaryotes (talk) 22:34, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

If you run across where it "was suggested' can you forward the link to me, please? :-) X1\ (talk) 22:38, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

See for instance Are Category 6 Hurricanes Coming Soon? prokaryotes (talk) 22:43, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I get the idea of creation of higher cyclone categories, but I am just focusing on clarifying terminology of (tropical) cyclones and global warming. I am not a cyclone expert (as most readers are not) and find the "tropical" part confusing. Creation of higher cyclone categories is far beyond me, and is a related but separate article I would assume. X1\ (talk) 22:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Unless the Saffir–Simpson scale (or other scales) gets updated or there are studies suggesting it, an article is not really backed-up. a more recent acknowledgment in this regard however is Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE). prokaryotes (talk) 22:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

It appears we are talking about two different things now. Maybe we will run across each other's paths later. X1\ (talk) 23:02, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Sculptures from the House of the Papyri

Hello! I have noticed that you have been adding a lot of images of sculptures from the Villa of the Papyri to various Misplaced Pages articles. I thought I would point out to you that many of the sculptures from the Villa of the Papyri are now known to have been initially misattributed. On page 774 of their book The Classical Tradition, Anthony Grafton, Glenn W. Most, and Salvatore Settis state that "Many of the approximately 40 unknown bronze and marble portraits tunneled out of the Villa dei Papiri at Herculaneum in 1750-1761 were given spurious names of this kind. Two busts, for example, though neither laughs or cries, were name Democritus, the laughing philosopher, and Heraclitus, the weeping philosopher. Though entirely baseless, the Democritus remained an accepted identification until recently." Recently, during a lengthy discussion about another bust, the identification of a bust from the Villa of the Papyri as "Sappho" was identified as "highly speculative". The bust you added to the article Archimedes was identified this morning on the talk page as actually being a bust of King Archidamus III of Sparta. You may want to be more careful about making sure the attributions of the busts are correct before adding them to their respective articles. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:20, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Katolophyromai, thanks for the heads up about the namings, I read that 4 sculptors had names directly attached? I suggest to add newer identifications as a follow up information. In regards to Archimedes, thanks for the edit. I actually became aware of the error of it being Archidamus III, changed the image name, but somehow forgot to remove it from the Archimedes page. prokaryotes (talk) 21:26, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

That is perfectly fine. I just thought I would let you know that the sculptures from the House of the Papyri have a long history of misidentification, so the labels underneath the illustrations you have been adding may not always be accurate. I would also like to thank you for your contributions; adding new images of ancient sculptures helps bring those sculptures to the attention of the Misplaced Pages community and, in some cases, those images can be immense improvements to the article. --Katolophyromai (talk) 22:36, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

I think it is totally fine to adjust names when new information becomes available. Something slightly similar, see my talk page entry here for Parmenides. prokaryotes (talk) 22:48, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Katolophyromai, I think this idealized bust can be highly correlated with Plato https://en.wikipedia.org/Plato#/media/File:Dionysus-or-Plato-Herculaneum-papyri-Villa-of-the-Papyri-Barker.jpg prokaryotes (talk) 21:36, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Katolophyromai, can you link to the study or article about the more recent attributions? prokaryotes (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

November 2017

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Thales of Miletus. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dr. K. 19:56, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

I did two different reverts, do you disagree with those? prokaryotes (talk) 19:58, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Both reverts count toward 3RR. I disagree with both, but I only reverted the addition of the Goodrich source, a naive, non-specialist source for high schools from the 19th century. Even by the low standards of some of the existing sources in the article, the Goodrich source was a bit too much. Dr. K. 20:11, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Dr.K., Okay, i won't challenge this, i wasn't aware that this guy has not such a high reputation. Generally i find old books interesting (nevertheless). To call this edit warring seems a little bit over the top. I reverted one edit, previously also restored by another editor, stating that the content present consensus opinion. prokaryotes (talk) 20:14, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification Prokaryotes. Old books have their value, and not all of them are obsolete, depending on context. As far as edit-warring, two reverts are an indication of wp:ew, but I will not press the point, since your GF in this case is apparent. Best regards. Dr. K. 20:22, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Initially i was searching for the source, for the claim about Thales name engraved at the Temple of Dheli at https://en.wikipedia.org/Seven_Sages_of_Greece Goodrich's book came up. I've tagged these claims as Seven Sages for needing references. prokaryotes (talk) 20:25, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Good point. I'll try to see if I can find any sources. Dr. K. 20:29, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:David Joiner.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:David Joiner.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:50, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Star Trek

Now that the Star Trek AfD has concluded, I just found it slightly amusing that only days after you reference Stranger Things as only having one article, different editors came into the scene, and now there's talks for drafts and articles for Season 1, Season 2, List of Episodes, List of Characters, articles for separate character... -- Alex 04:40, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

AlexTheWhovian, while I regret my AFD to some extent, my concern was primarily with repeated content. Some editors vowed to improve that, and I hope that isn't the case with new ST articles created, at least not with the already existing page on ST music. prokaryotes (talk) 20:18, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Crytpocurrencies in Misplaced Pages

With the bull market in cryptocurrencies many of which are supported by online communities of people who are a) advocates and b) hold the currencies, WP's articles on cryptocurrencies have been beset by people adding badly sourced or unsourced promotional content.

Your edits reflect this tendency.

Holding a cryptocurrency creates a conflict of interest in Misplaced Pages, as described in WP:COI.

I'm giving you notice of our COI guideline. Please see the notice below.

Hello, Prokaryotes. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 22:49, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Sourcing

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Ethereum, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 22:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning

Your recent editing history at Ethereum‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Rendlesham Forest incident

Hey, if you install Twinkle you can easily create AfDs without the complicated manual process. It will create a dropdown menu at the top of every page that will include an "XFD" option. If you want though, you can just type your deletion nomination here and I'll create the AfD for you and copy it there. Swarm ♠ 20:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

I think you mean "Please don't post on my user talk page". To the extent procedure allows I will try to remember not to post to your user talk page though if some days pass I may need a reminder. However, in practical terms, interaction is inevitable if we both edit pages in the same subject area.NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:31, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

on track...

FYI, posting here as more than one article is being tweaked with this new paper.... the new paper does NOT say we are definitely on track for xyz as you wrote. It says we might be kicking off this series of feedbacks and those temps could be reached if we do that. As one of your secondary sources said... words to the effect of... we didn't make conclusions, we asked questions. I'm short on time for trying to make fixes. I think I saw this problem at runaway climate change or under climate state NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:06, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, at cs, clarified more, from the BBC ref summary, "Researchers believe we could soon cross a threshold leading to boiling hot temperatures and towering seas in the centuries to come." prokaryotes (talk) 21:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

We soon could, and on path, very similar. prokaryotes (talk) 21:14, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

And on path, as in continued temperature rise, i still think this is correct wording, did not wrote definitely. And on path simply means we can leave that path too, room for interpretation. prokaryotes (talk) 21:24, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Actually they are not similar. One is definite, the other ambiguous. "On path" implies definitely. "could" is ambiguous. It might mean "we're definitely on a trajectory that we understand and we have to a choice - we could do either A or B. But Could might also mean "we're not sure, but the following scenario sure seems plausible". So which meaning of "could" is the one used in the RSs? I think the RSs answer this question quite simply - someone in the RSs told the reporter they didn't draw conclusions rather they asked questions. So no, they are not the same thing at all. Where there is room for interpretation in our writing, some clean up editor might tag it with Template:Clarify NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 22:13, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Primary/secondary sources

Hello,

Thanks for your tireless contributions to SRL/Global warming. I just came across a page I found useful in the distinction between primary and secondary sources in the scientific literature: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Identifying_primary_and_secondary_sources_for_biology_articles (tldr: scientific articles have parts that are primary and secondary and secondary source is preferable over first). It's for biology, but equally applicable in climate science. Might be good if we're all on the same page in terms of what a RS source should be :). Femkemilene (talk) 09:01, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Prokaryotes, just a quick note to say thank you for writing Marine ice sheet instability and, in case you don't see my edit summary there, to point you towards WP:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

File:Syd Barrett performs Jugband Blues.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:02, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Revert revision 870320612 (Past Sea Level)

I am newer to Misplaced Pages so I do not know if this is a proper place to discuss this, but you mentioned in your revert of my edit that the article I referenced made no mention of sea level change, however, it did mention it in the video posted on the same link, even though it was excluded in the writing part of it. It was not 'original research'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.47.8.174 (talk) 01:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I highly suggest you make a real editing account, makes things such tracking this reply much easier. Personally I think that original videos should qualify as a reference, but this is often a messy process. However, the video is not suggesting that the global sea level rose, it suggests that water was re-routed, which could eventually have flooded some regions for short or longer durations. However, if the recent impact theory holds, it would also mean, culminating in the Younger Dryas, which was a cooling period, and involving an initial stage dubbed, Meltwater pulse 1A. There is at least one article making this very clear connection to the YD theory, here, however, also not addressing SLR. If you find a article which elaborates on SLR, HC, and YD, please go ahead, but needs a good reliable source. prokaryotes (talk) 10:55, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Global catastrophe

I saw GreenC back at it. Be aware he thrives in conflict and not so much in building this encyclopedia. My recommendation is that you go ahead and balance that article with other scientist POV, as you correctly propose, because you will NEVER reach an agreement with him on even on the color of the sky. Again, he thrives in conflict, not on cooperation. Cheers, Rowan Forest (talk) 18:36, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, also related, this. prokaryotes (talk) 19:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Global catastrophic risk shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbrahamCat (talk • contribs) 20:03, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Climate emergency

Hi there! I just wanted to add Climate emergency as a term (ie redirect) to Climate Change, and was about to do this when I noticed that a lot of your edits are really recent :/ . Thinking that was pretty unfortunate (seeing that my edit would blanket the content...), I thought I'd ping you here so we can talk about it in calm, rather than you be faced with me having already "destroyed" the page :P.

I've written up some of my rationale on the articles talk page (plus I've already copied the Pope's intervention to the Climate emergency declaration page. Perhaps the point on the NYC protests could be added there as well ? (kindof a different angle I guess.. :/ ). Regards ! Sean Heron (talk) 18:56, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

I have already restored the former redir to Global warming because Misplaced Pages:Wikipedia_is_not_a_dictionary#Neologisms. If a ton of RS's about the phrase itself should turn up then an article about the phrase itself might pass muster. Otherwise, this would be a POVFORK of Global warming and Politics of global warming NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:09, 23 June 2019 (UTC) See also Climate crisis (which is a redir to global warming) NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:10, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, not on substance but on process - to recap: I see an issue, want to fix the issue, see a different user has been working on exactly the page I'll be blanking on exactly the same day, and decide to therefore first raise the issue with that user (and even point out why I'm raising it rather than just fixing it). Then someone else (in this case you NewsAndEventsGuy :P ) blankets the page. That's not exactly courteous - not to Prokaryotes nor to me :/ .

That bothered me just now so I wanted to point it out.

Oh, and btw - for both of you - I've suggested reinvigorating the "Taskforce Climate change" as a Wikiproject :). You two I know are both active on the topic, and are probably the next I'd have pinged (I've pinged Dmcq and FemkeMilene already - and opened a section at the taskforce talkpage). I guess if we want to move forwards with that, it'd be good to have some kind of way to work constructively (even better - happily!) with each other :D !

Regards, Sean Heron (talk) 20:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

My apologies Sean. Prokaryotes and I have a long and painful history. I was unaware of your work until after I'd taken action. I agree with Fremkemiline's comments about the task force...anything that will work is a good thing but one might have to try new things to find out what things those are. Go for it! NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 02:24, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sean, thanks for the nice explainer, though the page should either be merged with Climate emergency declaration or be directed there. NewsAndEventsGuy, he is obsessed with the idea that many of my edits are NPOV violations XD prokaryotes (talk) 09:25, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments guys. I've read a couple of your exchanges and I can a), understand the sentiment of the both of you, b) reckon that you often both had a point / some truth on your side :/ . Anyhow see my Comment on the Talk:Climate emergency#Broader issue at handtalk page - reckon if we step back and discuss some fundamentals, that might help us working with each other :) ! I want to take up your suggestion and move the Wikiproject forwards NewsAndEventsGuy :) . Regards Sean Heron (talk) 13:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

P.S. Prokaryote - "obsessed" has a negative connotation in english - so if you use that word, that can be seen as a negative portrayal. (I'd be glad if we all make an effort to be more positive with one another moving forward - even when we're in disagreement :D !)

Hmm :/

Hey, I can understand the frustration (I think), but I guess part of my hope with moving a Wikiproject "Climate Change" (or whatever) forwards was that it'd help finding commonalities, and sort out long standing issues and friction :/ . I'd be sad to see you go (and would miss your contributions and voice!), and would look forward to seeing whether working together in more of a team fashion mightn't help sooth feelings somewhat :( . Feel free to ping me or email, I'm happy to chat... Regards, Sean Heron (talk) 21:03, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Indef Request / Tban

Between travel, coding, and running into nuances of wiki rules I don't know well, I've been hard at work crafting a Tban or siteban request for Prokaryotes. The thread he filed against me has been archived in the meantime.

I just wanted to say that the passage of time and the archiving of the original thread should not be taken as meaning anything has been resolved. Prokaryotes has exercised his Right to leave, but not for purposes of escaping criticism. However, no administrators have indeffed him or given unblock instructions, so I don't know where that leaves us. Since there is no perma-block on his account, I am proceeding on the assumption he's still an active editor and will continue compiling my boomerang request, though I don't presently know how/when it will be submitted.

I just thought I should make a record of this so there is no misunderstanding or assumptions drawn from fact that time has gone by and the (latest) dramaboard filing was archived. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 18:41, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Oresas

The article Oresas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:MADEUP, I've checked the source that William Smith cited and there is no mention of "Oresas" on p 105 of any of the editions of Stobaeus' Eclogues, and this name is absent from the index of authors. Oresas is also not mentioned in any more recent collections of pythagorean writings such as Guthrie or Thesleff. This appears to have been the mistake or invention of a single classical scholar.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - car chasm (talk) 19:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
