Hello, Hodgdon's secret garden.Clarice Phelps, an article you either created or to which you significantly contributed,has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia'sMain Page as part ofDid you know. You can see the hook and the discussionhere. You are welcome to participate! Thank you.EnterpriseyBot (talk!)12:01, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to contact you on your talk page, but I wanted to point something out while also ensuring that there were no hard feelings about any prior interactions we may have had regarding the article in question.

FWIW, I think it would be a good idea to avoid using the word "deletionist" in an unironic fashion to refer to other editors, as you didhere. I don't doubt that it was not your intention to cause offense, which is why I'm pointing this out here rather than calling you out "publicly" on the article talk page. Thing is, the word is something of a slur, frequently used in bad faith by people who are not interested in combating systemic anti-feminist (or anti-Asian, or anti-whatever) bias either on-wiki or in the world at large, but are rather treating the encyclopedia as a "battlefield" and trying to get one up on their "opponents" and using (I would say "attempting to hijack") causes likeWikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red in pursuit of that goal.

Indeed, it could be argued that it was the "deletionists" who drew attention to the fact that Phelps wasn't credited or even mentioned in the majority of third-party sources that ultimately caused said sources to amend that oversight. (And don't get me wrong -- I am thrilled that she now has an article and that that oversight has been corrected.) It's highly doubtful that the majority of the "keepist" editors who had commented in the first AFD or DRV did anything meaningful to address this problem. (And I'm not talking about you or Jess Wade, but about the people who would have !voted keep regardless of whether the subject was a Black woman whose contribution was being overlooked because of systemic bias or a white man who simply hadn't made such a contribution butwould like us to think he had -- note that the "Warden" in that AFD is the same person who filed the current DYK and was one of the only "overturn" !votes in the first DRV.)

I'm not sure yourintent in bringing upThe Daily Stormer out of the blue, as you didhere, was to draw a link between editors you disagree with and despicable scum who happen to hold antifeminist views you (apparently?) also attribute to said editors, but you should know that doing anything that could be reasonably interpreted as that isnever acceptable.

And FWIW, I signed on tothis, but I don't see anywhere either you or Andrew have endorsed it.

Hello HSG. I have a very minor criticism of your editing, and I hope you won't take it personally... I've noticed that you have a habit of condensing multiple sentences into single, longer sentences, perhaps in an effort to make content more concise. Unfortunately, this sometimes has the effect of making content more difficult to read as it creates complicated run-on sentences. This is a very common pattern on Wikipedia, but I'm hoping that folks will consider the virtues of using discrete short sentences, as research has consistently shown that sentence length is strongly tied to reader comprehension.[1] Anyway, sorry to bug you and thanks for your work on Wikipedia.Kaldari (talk)15:50, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

On22 March 2020,Did you know was updated with a fact from the articleClarice Phelps, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was... that nuclear scientistClarice Phelps has been recognized as the first African-American woman to be involved with the discovery of achemical element? The nomination discussion and review may be seen atTemplate:Did you know nominations/Clarice Phelps. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page(here's how,Clarice Phelps), and it may be added tothe 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 theDid you know talk page.

Not seeing what makes this award passWP:GNG. BEFORE does not reveal much coverage about the award itself, through there are some passing mentions in articles about the winners.

(refactored fromTalk: Woke)

 ... {{Unbalanced}}. Not that it will be.

A contributor couldn't drag nuanced critique of the current tumult for change into our wikiarticle onWoke to save his or her life: The only content that is allowed must be as completely-slanted pro. Interpreting guidelines in pro hoc fashion to do so. ... ... ...Oh no! The wordwoke is being used sometimes as a derogatory epithet!: Aw c'mon; get out of here: This just means that change is being effected! Eg: I'll quoteBritannica on the word:hippie."The term hippie was soon applied by local journalists to this new subculture, and the word gained national (and soon international) recognition in 1967 thanks in large part to the frequent use of the epithet by San Francisco Chronicle columnistHerb Caen. The term can be descriptive or derogatory and was not initially used by the youths to describe themselves."

In the sixties, in reality most folks were more conservative than those of its culturalavant-garde, yeah? Yet:Who represents, in our historical imagination, this decade's cultural impact? Daresay:hippies – (plus the V-for-victory sign rebranded for "peace"; the Briton Gerald Holtom-invented monogram of /n/ and /d/ for "nuclear disarmament" in semaphore of central vertical for /d/ and downward lines on both sides for /n/]; etc.) Yet, yes, Who'll end up considered avatars for the present decade and its pro-equality effervescence?: the woke!; even so, our wikiarticle oughtn't to be subtly pro nor con this present opinion surge.

Although I'm subtly thus myself, I still believe that WP actually should bend over backward in service of the elusive quality of neutrality; hence, I'm I'm somebody who really wishesWikipedia:Neutrality of sources wereTHEN^oONE policy and not some mere "essay." ... Barring that, I dig when periodicals simply are up and front about their across-the-board editorial slant: My favorite example of which being reporting in theEconomist, whose editorial stance (according to WP, not a reliable source) is supportive of "radical centrism, favouring policies and governments that maintain centrist politics." (Oddly enough – or, not really! – if we look up WP viewership vs. even mag subscription/viewership statistics, they'll see that our own Wiki article is going to get exponentially more page views than anything in even subscription and online viewership of even such an influential a mag as theEconomist, articles such as ours on WP win hands down! Evenmore of an impetus for super neutrality, IMHO!)

Tomorrow's – as it's dated! –Economist "says" (which mag, also, btw, is still un-bylined: so that, it says, its journalists can continue speaking in a collective voice; thus, an expression like "the Economist says" really means just that!) — anyway, tomorrow'sEconomist[4] includes material about the Brits' current premier that's in a tone so refreshingly neither particularly pro nor con! For a subtly "pro" portion thereof, take the piece's 3rd graf, talking about Boris's likenesses to Benjamin Disraeli, reading,"Disraeli could never resist the temptation to poke fun at the priggish and pompous, who were hardly in short supply in Victorian England. He mocked his first patron, Peel, for long-windedness ('he traces the steam engine always back to the tea-kettle'), and his great rival, Gladstone, for self-righteousness. Mr Johnson loves taking a pop at neo-Victorians, whether the great and the good spouting platitudes or woke warriors itching to take offence."

Just imagine our WP article's having gumption enough to include a reference, no matter how oblique, to one instance from among the reams and reams and reams of observers' reports about often-overzealous Jacobins within the current tumult [Wikipedia:"Jacobin is sometimes used in the Anglosphere as a pejorative for radical, left-wing revolutionary politics.[3]"] such as theEconomist so-gently skewers as "the great and the good spouting platitudes or woke warriors itching to take offence."

Request reason:

I really and truly will avoid anything like casting aspersions on any other editors in talk page discussions and do commit never so to do in the future and I ask for the chance to prove that I understand that going forward I cannot do anything interpretable as such. In fact, were I to slip up and again were to do so, I'd be extremely dissatisfied with myself, with my submitting to my being re-banned without even contesting it.

You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. clpo13_(talk)17:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello garden, this is a comment in response to therequest at Clpo13's page. Topic bans, even if indefinite, are not necessarily forever. After some time of constructive editing in other areas, an appeal may be credible and pass (i.e. 3-6 months). As they said, "you should demonstrate this in other topic areas" is a common expectation. —PaleoNeonate –09:25, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you foryour contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to giveH bar a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, intoH-bar. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits thepage history, which islegally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to bemoved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account isfour days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the"Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may behidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates aredirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions atrequested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them atWikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.HouseBlaster^talk21:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
