The Lunatic-in-Charge becomes the Lunatic-at-Large

Lame duck à l'orange (AKA canard à l'orange)

It is a mortifying circumstance, which greatly perplexes many a painstaking philosopher, that nature often refuses to second his most profound and elaborate efforts; so that often after having invented one of the most ingenious and natural theories imaginable, she will have the perverseness to act directly in the teeth of his system, and flatly contradict his most favorite positions. This is a manifest and unmerited grievance, since it throws the censure of the vulgar and unlearned entirely upon the philosopher; whereas the fault is not to be ascribed to his theory, which is unquestionably correct, but to the waywardness of Dame Nature, who, with the proverbial fickleness of her sex, is continually indulging in coquetries and caprices, and seems really to take pleasure in violating all philosophic rules, and jilting the most learned and indefatigable of her adorers. The philosophers took this in very ill part, and it is thought they would never have pardoned the slight and affront which they conceived put upon them by the world had not a good-natured professor kindly officiated as a mediator between the parties, and effected a reconciliation. Finding the world would not accommodate itself to the theory, he wisely determined to accommodate the theory to the world.
— Washington Irving, Knickerbocker's History of New York

Pela primeira vez na sua vida a morte soube o que era ter um cão no regaço.
For the first time in her life, death knew what it felt like to have a dog in her lap.
— José Saramago, Death with Interruptions / Death at Intervals

It is now generally accepted that the megaliths that make up Stonehenge were moved by human effort.
— as opposed to by what?

Anybody who says you only have yourself to blame is just not very good at blaming other people.
— It's Happy Bunny

When poppies pull themselves up from their roots
and start out, one after the other, toward the sunset –
don't follow them.
— Slavko Janevski, 'Silence'

And the dough-headed took their acid fermentation for a soul, the stabbing of meat for history, the means of postponing their decay for civilization.
— Stanislaw Lem, Return from the Stars

The Church says that the Earth is Flat,
but I know that it is Round,
for I have seen its Shadow on the Moon,
and I have more Faith in a Shadow than in the Church.
— (commonly misattributed to Magellan)

In the early years of the study there were more than 200 speakers of the dialect, including one parrot.
— from the WP article Nancy Dorian

Consonant

You might want to refresh yourself on WP:BRD. That image has been in the article for 8 years. You removed it. I objected to your reason and restored it. Please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than continuing to remove it. Meters (talk) 04:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

It's stupid, added by someone who doesn't understand the difference between a symbol and the thing it represents. Or perhaps had dumbed down the article under the assumption that our readers were too stupid to know the difference. — kwami (talk) 04:14, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Again, take it to the article's talk page. It has been there for eight years so you'll need to make your case and get consensus for removing it. A personal attack against the person who added it is not going to help you case. And your summary did not specify the symbol, you simply said that the letter t is not a consonant, it's a letter. I disagreed. Meters (talk) 04:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Then you don't know what a consonant is either, in the sense the word is being used in the article. And calling out someone for ignorance is not a personal attack. — kwami (talk) 04:26, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't object your new image, but I find your comments insulting. I'm not interested in disusing this with you. Meters (talk) 04:56, 14 March 2021 (UTC).

Hello, I'm Hulmem. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, KBRW (AM), 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. hulmem (talk) 22:58, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The FCC has no authority over cities' names. That's up to the city. And it's officially the City of Utqiaġvik. — kwami (talk) 02:28, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Help:IPA/Latin

There's a disagreement between me and another user about the use of the Help:IPA/Latin key on the articles Manlia gens and Romulus. Thought you might perhaps be interested since you've contributed to that key in the past. Libhye (talk) 21:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
