Alert the cabal . . .

. . . and I mean now!

How ya holdin' up, Doc?

  • Well, after reading, in an ANI thread about me, that "I did not bring here because he's an antisemite or because he's a Nazi", I think someone is telling me that I am. That's not a nice thing to hear. Hey, Bongo! Nice to see you again. What's been going on? I started a stub on an architect the other day, and it brought back all kinds of memories: one of the sources is a Dutch architectural website called ArchiNed, and when I searched that word to see if we had an article, or how to capitalize it, I saw a whole bunch of articles CoM and I wrote up in the good old days. So I'm a bit mixed up, I suppose. Well, I don't think we have a Department for Experimental Topo-charcuterie, but I'll give this a try. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 14:06, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Normally every single talk given on topological insulators includes the canonical picture of a orange and doughnut to illustrate topologically-distinct manifolds. Today we enter a glorious era, where we can illustrate this with bacon and ... more bacon. a13ean (talk) 17:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry, but this is a talk page dedicated to the liberal arts. We don't do car parts here--that's the domain of Scalhotrod, who'll be glad to talk about manifolds until the sun goes down one final time. Drmies (talk) 17:56, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm waiting for someone to bring on the bacon donuts. That Green Egg, I've heard a lot of good things about it, but I also read its price tag, so that's a no. (Liberal arts talk page, liberal arts paycheck.) Until Green Egg hires me to rewrite their article, of course--I suppose CorporateM has them in their Rolodex. Drmies (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Drmies, find your local or closest "EggFest", the annual gathering of Eggers and all things relatedly delicious. BGE usually sponsors these events and ships several pallets of Eggs to the venue which are then available for sale (usually pre-sale before the event and picked up at the end) as "demo/display units" at a deep discount. Shooosh, don't tell anyone else... :)
  • Hmm... Bacon donuts, sounds promising. I wonder if you can just deep fry the whole thing or if there's precooking involved. It would make a nice bookend to my Atomic Buffalo T*rd jalapeno poppers paired with one of my homemade alcohol infusions. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 18:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Floral peace. The Old man's beard or Traveller's Joy, or, as we call them, Nielä are in bloom here now, and we (that is mostly the old fogeys among us, if I'm not mistaken) also used to smoke its hollow dried stems, as kids pretending to be adults, in the woods. Though it would make me cough incessantly, I'd smoke that peace pipe right now, right here. ---Sluzzelin talk 23:42, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey Drmies, I saw the drahmah that has been inflicted upon you the last few days, and I want very much to offer you my sympathy and best wishes. It should never have happened to you. It's a pity that this kind of stuff crops up so often at this website. To quote the great philosopher Taylor Swift, shake it off. Anyway, I hope you are doing well. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

  • No good deed goes unpunished, Tryptofish, and so you and some others there will probably suffer for your good deeds as well--really, I saw your comments and I appreciate it, as well as the note here. See, if they had left me a note saying hey, what about this? we could have had a conversation, but all this huffing and puffing, with a templated warning and some thinly veiled accusations--yeah, it's not good for the soul. Anyway, it's over for now, and I think common sense has prevailed on the talk page. The article has been moved back by some people who know what they're talking about, and some others came by and fixed syntax and language, so it's all good (I admit it's hard for me sometimes to write good English when I'm reading Dutch sources). And to be accused of having some right-wing agenda... I wrote Oud-Strijders Legioen the other day, inspired by this mess, and when those planes flew over I was down below, and have despised them and their right-wing ilk ever since. Sorry, I'm waxing prosaic. Thanks again. Drmies (talk) 23:29, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Good! I've been on the receiving end myself, with a lot of similarities to what you received. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Time to behave badly towards Drmies: the OSL did not have members as it was a foundation, not a society or association. So it were supporters. Prosper Ego was never really in action in the Dutch Indies as he was a pencil pusher. Unfortunately, I passed on my archives when I moved country. The Banner talk 00:05, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Banner, good point--guess I never thought about that. So please propose a different word (well, don't propose, just stick it in there and then I'll see you on ANI, haha)--but how else does on translate dat ze 14.000 leden hadden? As for the pencil-pushing, you'll note that I wrote "served"--I am well aware of his, you know, Rambo-ish lifestyle. So--you left twenty-plus jaargangen of Sta-Vast behind? What a loss! (And, Banner, thanks for moving that article back. It's good to not be alone.) Drmies (talk) 00:13, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Ehm, no. I did not leave does magazines behind. I handed over my archives to the anti-fascistic research group Kafka. Errrr, was happy enough that they did not ask question how some of the info was obtained. My grandfather was in the (non-military) resistance and I followed his lead, updated to the changed times. (A distant cousin earned the Military William Order at the Grebbeberg. He urges his men to stand firm and not retreat. He is still there.)The Banner talk 00:31, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
The OSL presented itself as an association but were in fact three foundations. So the "members" could be supporters or just subscribers of the magazine. The Banner talk 00:38, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Haha. Maybe this is a good time to disclose to you that I was in the KZA and the MKA! Your archives, Xanthomelanoussprog and I could have used them for Hembrug (which is around the corner from where I grew up--in fact, you can sort of see my house in that aerial photograph). So--does "organization" need to be changed to "foundation"? Please correct the article. Drmies (talk) 00:44, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
  • I've got a rough translation of the Ego article (offline)- just want to go through it again to make sure I've not done anything too egregious. The original Dutch article introduces Ego as an old soldier, but then fails to substantiate that. It claims that he was not involved in "police" actions but was doing journalism (??) DYK that the Japanese did joint military actions with the British in Indonesia at the end of WW2? And the last German campaign medal of WW2 was issued by permission of the British military, who made sure there wasn't a swastika on it. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 06:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
  • As Banner said, he was a pencil pusher. I saw that in one of the sources, can't remember which one--it may have been the Kafka source. Now, I don't know if Banner was joking about having bequeathed his archives to Kafka (the Dutch have a weird sense of humor), but Kafka's POV is to be considered. That is, if they say he never saw action, I'm sure they'd find that amusing given the posturing of the OSL. Drmies (talk) 15:42, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
I was active in a local chapter of the more radical AFA. Changed some thingies in the OSL article and added a source. The Banner talk 10:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Alert - Drmies can you translate this article? Briefschrijvende jongeman bij geopend venster. Crisco 1492 asked me how do I know that this painting has a pair, this one Brieflezende vrouw - well, my Dutch tells me the info is in this article. Hafspajen (talk) 10:36, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Well done! Of course Randykitty, the original drive-by tagger, had to go and deface it... That photo, BTW, is priceless. I imagine him yelling at The Banner--Banner is sixteen, and they ran into each other at a 1 May manifestation in Beverwijk. Ego is trying to get into the supermarket to pick up some butter since Mrs. Ego is in the mood (for stewed eel! sheesh!), and there's Banner, with his little table selling his little buttons, and his little red book is sticking out of the pocket of his German Army jacket full of peace signs and "Kernenergie? Nee bedankt!" stickers. And Banner sees who he is dealing with: a middle-aged white man, representing all that he hates about his country (looks a lot like his father, probably). If he can sway this man, this one man, then the war is won, and we'll leave NATO, and there will be happiness and equality in South Africa, and Marxism will take over all of Asia and Nixon will simply wink and let them, and no teacher will ever write up another student for smoking pot during lunch hour, and everyone will realize that Yes's Fragile indeed holds the key to the universe...all that and more.

    But Ego will have none of it. Here's some long-haired boy who should be in school. He doesn't smell so good either, though there's an exotic aroma that reminds him of long ago, of 1949. And this boy (half a head taller than him, but still) starts talking about fairness and nuclear cruise missiles and some black people in an arid part of the world who apparently have rights too and he probably doesn't change shirts more often than once a week. And he looks at him and does not see himself, just a predator out to get his daughter, a leech sucking up his hard-earned money by way of a repressive tax system that taxes those like him, those who have worked so hard to make some more money than the neighbors. He probably spells everything in some weird new way either, with those hard k's and sloppy sj's. Probably studies sosjologie at the Pedagogiese Akademie, in Esperanto. And this child is telling him he's been wrong all his life, that he's a mass murderer like Jan Pietersz. Coen, that he is personally responsible for the death of little children in factories in Bangladesh because he shops at C&A? NO! And I'll tell you something else, you stinking little Communist rat, ... !

    And that's when that photo was taken. Drmies (talk) 00:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict)XANTYY!! Thanks... you would love the painting Crisco just nominated. A Dutch king. Good looking too... Is there any page with the exception of AIV - Vandalism, where one is running into so many edit conflicts, may I ask....? GOSH; XANTY, you really did translated it, gugh.

  • If you know my real name, then you'd see that your edit summary is quite hilarious. I'll give you a hint: M I SHIT. No worries! And I won't tell you to get an Android--friends don't do that to friends. Drmies (talk) 19:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

142.150.48.0/24

Hi Drmies, regarding this thread, you can use this tool to check contribs for any given range. Specifically, this is the range contribs analysis for 142.150.48.0/24 from January of this year to current. It does indeed look like it could be range blocked again from what I'm seeing. That analysis can help you hunt down edits you didn't know about and find socks.

I backtracked this and found the sock case so you know who you are dealing with now.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 21:46, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

I've went ahead and hardblocked this range for one year. Any named accounts caught behind that block need to be scrutinized as potential socks if they appeal the block.
 — Berean Hunter (talk) 21:57, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Hey Berean Hunter, I'm about to go track down all these particulars, but I already wanted to say thank you for your work. I really appreciate it, and I hope we can use this to stem that tide of useless edits. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 23:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Razor Tag

Can you help me expand Razor Tag please? Obviously, it needs more expansion and verification with plenty of resources. I'll be glad to also help you out in any way I can, if you ever need me for anything (just simply leave a message on my talk page, but be respectful and polite when you do so). Thanks. Skylar3214 3:54, 8 September 2014

CSD advice

Having looked closely at the wording, I'm not sure my G13 tagging of this is accurate. Is there a better tag/process? --NeilN 23:18, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

NeilN, when in doubt, I usually go the more conservative route. If the editor is around, then ask them about the article. Otherwise, you can take it to WP:MFD. Bgwhite (talk) 23:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Bgwhite, okay, done. Thanks. --NeilN 23:32, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Merope

Would you consider fully protecting their talk page for a few days, possibly as an alternative to revocation of talk page access? Perhaps if everyone has a few days to regain a sense of perspective we might be able to make some progress, but I don't think it would be proper for the action to come from the blocking admin. Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Jan

Could you believe that there was no article for Jan Cremer? Via the new article on Prosper Ego (is that a real name, sounds like a character from a bad novel) I landed at your OSL article. Hadn't thought about that group for years. Back when, I knew somebody who was a member of that group. Creepy.

No sooner do I unwatch this page (too busy, clutters my watchlist; and I almost never go to ANI) and the shit hits the fan, so saw this only just now. Hope things have calmed down now. Being accused of antisemitism would make me go ballistic, too. --Randykitty (talk) 17:42, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

  • Good work! Man, he was goodlooking. I think he made waves in the US as well. Yes, things are quieter now, fortunately, with the help of some cool-headed people. And yes, that's some name, isn't it--The Banner is also on the case; I understand he occupied an honorary position on the OSL's hitlist (speaking metaphorically, of course). Banner en ik waren waarschijnlijk allebei langharig werkschuw tuig. Drmies (talk) 17:52, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
  • That's a coincidence: just the other day I tried to explain to my wife what "langharig werkschuw tuig" means, but the best I could come up with was "long-haired work-shy hooligans", but that doesn't really capture it :-) Cremer made waves in the US too, I think you're right. But I'm a bit short on time and will leave it for someone else to expand. --Randykitty (talk) 18:01, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Brighton and Hove

I tend to think user:Abdurrahman Muslim is probably not going to change their ways and I strongly believe they are wrong and will be unable to provide sources to back their point, but they do make a specific request "someone made reference in this article to the declining moral standards of the people of Brighton and Hove", which precludes it from being a forum post. Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean you should censor them. CombatWombat42 (talk) 19:08, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

If Drmies hadn't reverted, I would have. The editor is free to make no-way-that's-going-to-happen requests without the frothing at the mouth ranting. --NeilN 19:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
  • CombatWombat, thank you for not reverting again. No one will be able to prove anything about "declining moral standards" since it's not a measurable quantity: that user is simply trolling, pretending to be some hardcore Muslim when they're really either a drunk skinhead or a dumb high-schooler, or both. Hope I didn't break the BLP here, but the trolling was just obvious, and if you want to call my removal of that post "censorship", well, then, I, I don't know. Thank you NeilN.

DYK for James McLemore

Updated DYK queryOn 10 September 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James McLemore, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Baptist minister James McLemore, founder of the Antioch Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, owned the wife and child of black preacher Caesar Blackwell, who had been bought for US$625 by the Alabama Baptist Association in 1828 to preach to mixed audiences? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James McLemore. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
