I suggest that removing content from my talk page is neither an urgent nor a particularly helpful task, and that Elockid's time would be better spent doing virtually anything else. In this case, I probably would have collapsed or deleted the content anyway. The point is that it's ok to let things stand on my talk page for a few minutes, ''especially'' when I've clearly asked for others not to remove content here.

			==A message to recent editors==
	would you consider removing the word "important" from your closure comment title? I'm being a stickler but of course your comment along these lines isn't more or less important than anyone else's..it seems to be suggesting a kind of authority too..I partly state this as I do disagree with the interpretation of policy contained within the post (see my response there) so don't like the authoritative suggestion implied by the bold. Don't take this as a disrespect or a criticism of you (I'm actually a fan of your presence over at the reference desk)..] (]) 16:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
			Apparently someone out there has the mistaken impression that I give a fuck. I do not. Please don't bug me. In the past I have said that I thought Vote X has the potential to be helpful if they choose. I stand by that. I have no special affection for troll hunting, but I also am no friend of trolls. I haven't even read any of the recent bullshit, nor will I in the next several week (I will ber largely on wikibreak). So whoever the fuck is taunting Fut. perf and others on my talk page, kindly do it elsewhere. Let me repeat what I've said above - I may disagree with Fut. perf (and many other editors) on any number of things, but that doesn't mean I want you doing whatever ant-troll-trolling-of-troll-hunters you seem to be into. I can support a little bit of ] but be ] and if you want any sympathy or support from me ever, stop antagonizing here.

			== We need a wiki for people researching period details, comparative social history.. ==


			Per the reference desk scope concern, I am wondering if there's a need for something like the reference desk, but more like the "Little details" live journal (http://little-details.livejournal.com/) in scope. If hosted on Misplaced Pages, it still couldn't do OR as such (perhaps on Wikiversity maybe).
	== Please comment on ] ==
			I'd be willing to discuss this further

			Arguably, it would also be nice to have a wiki whose focus was specfically as comparative social history and period detail guide for model makers, set designers, film-makers as opposed to an Encylopedia ( bit retaining the ability to add citations as appropriate).

			Any thoughts?
			] (]) 20:19, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

			:I think that's an interesting idea, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with using the reference desk to help with your historical research. There's also no problem using a university library or public library references desk for these purposes. IMO medeis is far to eager to tell people they can't ask questions, and not nearly eager enough to provide helpful and well-referenced answers. Going forward, just make sure to ask for references. I'm sure there are dozens of books that comment on what was different between then and now, for lots of places and lots of times.
			:Back to the new wiki idea, I think there might be an audience for that. Maybe you could start up something like that on Wikia? It could indeed be of interest to a wide variety of people interested in history, but I'm actually not much of a historian myself, and don't know of any place else offhand to host it, or any good general resources to recommend. ] (]) 21:06, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

			:I will say this: I reverted your WP:DENY hat because I thought it was improper, I did not think the question was trolling. When you clarified that it was a banned IP, I still would have left it open, because but chose not to get in to a fight about it. Rather, I thought the question was interesting in its own right, and the reference of potential value to current and future readers. It was something I had recently read and thought about, so I simply posted it myself. I do not think trolling is a big problem on the reference desk. I think the hostile environment created by aggressive censoring is a big problem. I think the hostile environment created by "google it" is a big problem.

	You seem to hold an unswerving grudge of incivility against me, for example . Given that you are ''advocating'' incivilty rather than dialog and process (I have never intentionally misspelt your name) and make vague accusations and call names, I can only see this type of behavior as a personal attack.

	:Hi {{ping\|Medeis}}, thanks for your comment. The bit you quoted - I was speaking conceptually, on behalf of Russel.mo. I think you were rude and unhelpful to him for no reason. He's a sweet kid, and lots of people treat him like some sort of idiot troll, and that bugs me. So I wanted to point out that, if someone is rude to me online, I often don't bother too much getting their name right. I guess I didn't explain very well, but I was hypothesizing a bit about his motives/feelings, not giving my own.

			== Feedback request: Natural sciences Good Article nomination ==
	:I'm a bit confused by your general confusion. How many years have we been bumping into each other here? How many times have I talked to you about ] and ]? Maybe not enough, but I do recall mentioning those to you on many occasions. I don't think you've ever done anything specifically awful to me in particular, but I think you have a long and consistent pattern of failing to AGF and biting IPs/newbies. Not horribly mean, but "low-level hostility toward OP or other respondents" is a phrase that I think describes a lot of your comments. At some point, I gave up asking you to be nice to our users, and instead decided I would treat you how I saw you treating others. A bit petty, indeed. But if you look at my comments, you'll see that they are not strictly ''personal'' in nature. For example when someone said you were being rude and unhelpful, I said something about how a lot of your recent posts were that way. That is a comment about your responses, not about you as a person.

	:I like many of your answers on biology and linguistics too - that's part of why your bitey behavior bugs me: the benefit of you good answers is undermined by your comments that push people away. Anyway, I don't really bear grudges either, that's why I usually put in good faith efforts to help you when you post questions. Funny story: a while back I noted that I hadn't seen you around the ref desks. I almost dropped a line on your talk page, along the lines of "Hey medeis, haven't seen you around, what's up, did you ever make that hooch?" But then I didn't, and a few days later I saw you show up again, doing something rude and unhelpful, so I dropped it.

			== Feedback request: Natural sciences Good Article nomination ==
	:But now hopefully I've cleared it up: TLDR: I think you're often rude and unhelpful to IPs and new users, and that that behavior reflects poorly on our ref desk. I think you're also often helpful and positive, but sometimes the former is easier to see.

	:I understand some of your frustration, but think it is counterproductive. It is far easier, I think, to ignore a post you don't like, than it is to ignore hostility when it comes to you online. There's all kinds of crap I see on the ref desk I don't like, but, with the exception of a few snide comments (mostly to Stu and Bugs, but some recently about you), I try to not say anything unless I think I can directly help. And honestly, even when I make snide comments, I think that ''can'' sometimes help. For example I went on a campaign where I told Stu several times, repeatedly, to not just type up the first thing that springs into his head. A little rude and brusque, but that's what he was doing, and I think at some level he didn't even know it. And it's hard to say for sure but I think he's gotten better. So maybe I should have been more direct with you, because the main thing is I think that your help at the desks is undermined by the bitiness. If you were a little nicer, I think you'd be a great asset.

			== Feedback request: Natural sciences Good Article nomination ==
	:BTW, I won't be around much for a while, I'm leaving on a trip. So rather than discuss this at length, let's make a deal: I'll try to be nicer to you, and you try to be nicer to IPs. ] (]) 15:45, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
	:P.S. on spelling: the Greek sig you use has a lowercase mu (<math>\mu </math>), not an upper case mu (<math>\Mu </math>) so I assumed the "correct" spelling in English was "medeis", but I see now your actual username is "Medeis", so if I gave offense by improper spelling or lack of capitalization, I assure you it was entirely accidental, I have never personally intended to slight you by misspelling your name.

	::The mipselling is a side issue, except for the fact that you ''defended'' it as deserved. The central point of disagreement between us is that you tell me I can ignore posts I "don't like". I do not attack posts because I dislike them. I object because they are obvious violations of policy or the disclaimer.

	:As for ] itself. I think that word originally comes from ] usage, and it's an example of ], because the sound going out sounds a little bit like person saying "ping!". Or at least, sometimes.

But this is an example of a sound effect that is what most people would imagine a ping sounds like, and it does sound a little bit like "ping" (maybe old sonar used to sound like that?

Lawn maintenance

should really get to this some day...
-- putting this old thread back on my talk page to remind myself to work on this SemanticMantis (talk) 19:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC) Please express your thoughts on the disadvantages of lawn care as it is practiced in the United States. My request is a response to your invitation at Misplaced Pages:Reference desk/Miscellaneous#Lawn maintenance at 16:48, 4 June 2014. (I am adding your talk page to my watchlist.) —Wavelength (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2014 (UTC) Hi Wavelength, thanks for your interest! I am an ecologist, specializing in theoretical plant ecology, and turf lawns are something I've thought about quite a bit. I don't usually appeal to my own authority on WP, but I thought it would save time to let you know that I know what I'm talking about. Of course I'll be happy supply refs for any subclaims if you'd like. So, without much organization, I'll throw out my thoughts, and see what parts you're interested in. Most people on the USA that own houses have turf lawns, mostly because that's what it came with, and that's all they know. Many of them spend money on fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides. Fertilizers take an enormous amount of energy to produce, through the Haber process. Then, they are often over applied, and runoff fertilizer is very bad for all of our natural ecosystems, but especially for streams, e.g. eutrophication. Herbicides applied to lawns are usually selective, in that they don't kill turf grass, but they also have their own ecological problems Herbicide#Ecological_effects. Ok, but what about people who don't use fertilizers and herbicides? They still usually have a monoculture of grass, often a type that is an invasive species, or of a type that is not well adapted to local conditions. For example Kentucky bluegrass is beautiful, but it is silly to grow it in most states, because it needs extra water that native species don't. In the south, there are many bermuda grass lawns, which don't provide any resources for the local fauna. So, monocultures are generally bad, and we've replaced huge swaths of our formerly diverse suburban and rural acreage with one type of plant. Insects, birds, amphibians, and many other animals are thus displaced. What if I don't care about insects and birds? (I'll even ignore how human society depends upon biodiversity and ecosystem services) Well, huge chunks of the country are naturally arid, (CA, TX, AZ, NV, etc) and simply cannot support a turf lawn without irrigation. Using potable water on grass is just silly, but millions do it anyway, even when they live in deserts, and are facing water shortages in the near future. But I don't irrigate my lawn-- well, then we come to gas mowers, which in my opinion totally ruin my weekends. Even if I don't have to mess around with an expensive machine and breath its exhaust in the hot sun, I'm annoyed by all my neighbors doing it. And of course in addition to noise pollution, there are lots of other pollutants they emit as well. 4-stroke mowers aren't all that terrible, but 2-stroke weed wackers are amazingly polluting, as are most leaf blowers. By some measures, they are worse than an SUV, see e.g. String_trimmer#Power_and_emissions. So I use a Fiskars push reel mower, which I'm rather happy with. After all this, I conclude the prevalence of massive turf lawns in the USA is just bad for our society. Especially the way they are commonly cared for, and in many cases, they are not even used much! I feel totally different about it if e.g. someone has many children, or grandchildren who need space to play, or if one wants space for a game of croquet or badminton. I spend tons of time in my yard... but I have many neighbors with giant lawns that never seem to use them! But we keep them, just because of a sort of cultural momentum, and thinking it's "normal", and fearing what our neighbors would think, and not knowing what else to do. So, what are the alternatives? There are several, depending on the biome you live in, and what needs you have for the yard. E.g. if I lived in the band from eastern CO to western PA, and I didn't have much need for lawn play, I'd install a prairie. If I lived in CA or AZ, I'd do some sort of xeriscaping. Another key thing is that many nice urban/suburban neighborhoods have nice big trees. And here's a key concept: Trees and grasses generally don't live together, they require different environmental conditions. So, trying to get trees and grass to coexist is just ecologically unsound in a household setting (it can happen in nature, but it usually needs a frequent fire regime). So for big chunks of the USA, having a nice tree canopy, with shade-tolerant groundcover underneath is a nice solution: It takes no water, mowing or fertilizers, and will tolerate a bit of foot traffic. Of course, none of the alternatives are truly maintenance free, but they can be much lower maintenance than turf lawns, and are almost always ecologically superior if you do a little research. Anyway, there's some of the key points that I'm happy to proselytize on :) As for my personal life, I can't practice everything I preach. I rent in TX, so I can't just convert my whole yard to non-turf. But I do use the push mower, and I've removed lots of turf around trees, and turned them into ornamental beds. This way, at least I have less grass to tend to, and use less water than if it were all grass. If you'd like some specific information on turf alternatives that might be good for your needs, just tell me roughly where you live and how much traffic/play you expect. Cheers, SemanticMantis (talk) 21:10, 4 June 2014 (UTC) Thank you very much for your generous reply, which I have read in its entirety. All of it interests me, and I propose that the information be covered in Misplaced Pages, if it is not already. Of course, it would be with a neutral presentation of views.

I'm sure a some of it is on WP (e.g. some of the links above), but it is scattered about in many places. It is hard to be neutral while still proposing that certain things are "better", especially in such a complex area. I don't really think "Why lawns should be minimized in modern society" is a very good candidate for an article :) Also, I usually only make small corrections to article space, and spend most of my WP time on the ref desk, because those are tasks I can handle in ~10-15 minute work breaks. Anyway, do you have any specific articles in mind that could use this info? I could probably find various sources to scientific publications for many of my claims above, but I'm not sure where they would fit. If you have some suggestions of what/where I should include some of the ideas, I'll listen and at least give it 15 minutes a day :) SemanticMantis (talk) 23:20, 4 June 2014 (UTC) There could be a new article called "Alternative lawns" or "Alternatives to lawns" or "Lawn alternatives"; there could be a new article called "Anti-lawn movement".

Why do you listen to Sunshine?

For previous discussion see edit of 16.20, 12 February 2016.

old drama. Vote X, play nice if you can, otherwise please find some place else to carry on your vendetta.
Sunshine says Vote X for Change is banned and you agreed! Said editor was unbanned long ago as a result of a community unban discussion, which is why Zzuuzz said on his talk page that the ban had been "superseded". 81.177.49.3 (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC) Sorry, this was all long ago, and I don't care to play any more. Are you Vote X? Do you want to talk? Do you want to play nice and act like a grown up? As I've told Vote X before, I think they can potentially be a helpful addition to our team at the reference desk if they choose to play by the rules, be civil, and actually attempt to be helpful. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them care. If you decide you care, and want to help, I can try to support you in that. Otherwise, please leave me alone, and don't go out of your way to stir up old shit. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:49, 21 February 2017 (UTC) (comment deleted) Hi, I read that link you posted. It shows you to be very nasty and vindictive. I think it's clear that I have very different opinions than that user, and I don't care for many of their actions here on WP.

old drama. Vote X, play nice if you can, otherwise please find some place else to carry on your vendetta.

Sunshine says Vote X for Change is banned and you agreed! Said editor was unbanned long ago as a result of a community unban discussion, which is why Zzuuzz said on his talk page that the ban had been "superseded". 81.177.49.3 (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, this was all long ago, and I don't care to play any more. Are you Vote X? Do you want to talk? Do you want to play nice and act like a grown up? As I've told Vote X before, I think they can potentially be a helpful addition to our team at the reference desk if they choose to play by the rules, be civil, and actually attempt to be helpful. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them care. If you decide you care, and want to help, I can try to support you in that. Otherwise, please leave me alone, and don't go out of your way to stir up old shit. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:49, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

(comment deleted) Hi, I read that link you posted. It shows you to be very nasty and vindictive. I think it's clear that I have very different opinions than that user, and I don't care for many of their actions here on WP. But I will not let you try to out him and cause him personal strife, not on my talk page. Don't continue to push me, I am here in good faith, and think you could be too. If you want to help, help.

A message to recent editors

Apparently someone out there has the mistaken impression that I give a fuck. I do not. Please don't bug me. In the past I have said that I thought Vote X has the potential to be helpful if they choose. I stand by that. I have no special affection for troll hunting, but I also am no friend of trolls. I haven't even read any of the recent bullshit, nor will I in the next several week (I will ber largely on wikibreak). So whoever the fuck is taunting Fut. perf and others on my talk page, kindly do it elsewhere. Let me repeat what I've said above - I may disagree with Fut. perf (and many other editors) on any number of things, but that doesn't mean I want you doing whatever ant-troll-trolling-of-troll-hunters you seem to be into. I can support a little bit of WP:NORULES but be WP:CIVIL and if you want any sympathy or support from me ever, stop antagonizing here. It's like I one time said maybe the cops were over the line, and now a bunch of gangsters keep spray-painting my house with "fuck the police. Not cool, and only going to encourage police brutality, in my admittedly not-that-good analogy. SemanticMantis (talk) 17:07, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

We need a wiki for people researching period details, comparative social history..

Per the reference desk scope concern, I am wondering if there's a need for something like the reference desk, but more like the "Little details" live journal (http://little-details.livejournal.com/) in scope. If hosted on Misplaced Pages, it still couldn't do OR as such (perhaps on Wikiversity maybe). I'd be willing to discuss this further

Arguably, it would also be nice to have a wiki whose focus was specfically as comparative social history and period detail guide for model makers, set designers, film-makers as opposed to an Encylopedia ( bit retaining the ability to add citations as appropriate).

Any thoughts? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 20:19, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

I think that's an interesting idea, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with using the reference desk to help with your historical research. There's also no problem using a university library or public library references desk for these purposes. IMO medeis is far to eager to tell people they can't ask questions, and not nearly eager enough to provide helpful and well-referenced answers. Going forward, just make sure to ask for references. I'm sure there are dozens of books that comment on what was different between then and now, for lots of places and lots of times.

Back to the new wiki idea, I think there might be an audience for that. Maybe you could start up something like that on Wikia? It could indeed be of interest to a wide variety of people interested in history, but I'm actually not much of a historian myself, and don't know of any place else offhand to host it, or any good general resources to recommend.

Aw shucks, thanks!

You're saying "censor responses, not questions" yet you're negating that. What gives? ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 17:40, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

No, I'm not negating anything. I absolutely would rather see responses sanctioned than questions closed/removed. I undid what I thought was a bad closure, and left a response that gave potentially useful information. SemanticMantis (talk) 18:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

I suspect you don't care about Misplaced Pages:Deny recognition, but it still applies. You shouldn't insist on justifying the entries of blocked editors, as you did on the science desk. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:23, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

I will say this: I reverted your WP:DENY hat because I thought it was improper, I did not think the question was trolling. When you clarified that it was a banned IP, I still would have left it open, because but chose not to get in to a fight about it. Rather, I thought the question was interesting in its own right, and the reference of potential value to current and future readers. It was something I had recently read and thought about, so I simply posted it myself. I do not think trolling is a big problem on the reference desk. I think the hostile environment created by aggressive censoring is a big problem. I think the hostile environment created by "google it" is a big problem. I suspect you disagree, but a) that doesn't matter and b) I don't care. You do you, I'll do me. I will not engage in any extended discussion on the matter, but offer this simple explanation of my rationale as a peace offering. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:52, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Very good. Just keep in mind, for future reference, that banned users are not allowed to edit. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 20:41, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service

Hi SemanticMantis! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Misplaced Pages in over a year.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in two years or more.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
Paste {{Frs user|SemanticMantis|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:06, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, are you still active on Misplaced Pages? IBE (talk) 19:22, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @It's Been Emotional and IBE:, as you can see, not very active! In fact I'm having trouble getting my login sorted. Is there something I can help you with? Or did my name come up somewhere? Or perhaps you're just reminiscing about the old days :) I'd like to get back to some activity on the reference desks and minor article improvement, but I just don't have much free time at present. Feel free to use my email link if there's something you'd like to discuss. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:03, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I do have a question. Was also reminiscing, but yes, something came up. It's not urgent right at the moment, because I'll probably figure it out on my own, but thanks, I'll try the email sometime. Best wishes, IBE (talk) 20:49, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
