Prayer for Ukraine

I took a pic in 2009 that was on the German MP yesterday, with the song from 1885, in English Prayer for Ukraine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

March songs

Listening to the charity concert mentioned here. I created the articles of the composer and the soprano. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:23, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Now, you can also listen on YouTube, and more music, the piece by Anna Korsun begins after about one hour, and the voices call "Freiheit!" (freedom, instead of "Freude", joy). Music every day, pictured in songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:31, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

on Bach's birthday: the places where I sang his Dona nobis pacem --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:26, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

The Prayer is on the Main page, finally + new flowers, and btw: the TFA is a young writer's first --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Your comment moved me to tears. - Bach's No. 1 today - stand and sing! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:56, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Sunday flowers and sounds, don't miss the extraordinary marriage of the beginnings of the theme of Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1, and Prayer for Ukraine - here! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

April songs

memories: two people on DYK, both connected to Oper Frankfurt, and don't miss yesterday's video of Pink Floyd given to me! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Main Page history/2022 April 13: the TFA is hard to overlook, but there are also peace prayers, a soprano and a theatre manager, - if you don't find them try here --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

after Easter and relilience: dance and singing, peace doves and icecream --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

another Ukraine day today: Maks Levin DYK, expanding Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (have tickets), and creating Anthony Robin Schneider, the bass who could be heard opening the singing in Beethoven's Ninth twice on 10 March 2022, live in Frankfurt, Germany, and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, singing "Freiheit!" (freedom) instead of "Freude" (joy), in a tradition started after the Fall of the Wall. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Dove sono (Where are those happy moments ...?) - concert with Kyiv orchestra and Aleksey Semenenko (quite a story!) tonight, Symphony with war and peace in the subtitle --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:15, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

May songs

today performances in Ukraine - for Ukraine - for peace, at the bottom an imaginary set of eight DYK --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

My attempt at cleanup wasn't entirely successful: I have the feeling that the "population blank" and the other blank result in no punctuation. I tried some other parameters from Template:Infobox settlement but I think it's just going way over my head. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 16:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Well, the short answer is that you're probably putting that information in the wrong place - |population_blank1= is, I'm pretty sure, meant to contain a number, as it has a {{formatnum}} which strips out the , (and why your commas are being stripped out of your value). I'll have to refresh my memory of how this template works but I'll post back here in a few minutes when I've figured it out. Primefac (talk) 17:05, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Yup, that's what I thought - things like language, ethnicity, and religion go into the |demographics1_titleX= and |demographics1_infoX=. Primefac (talk) 17:07, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I couldn't get that to work. I couldn't even figure out why some of those parameters have two sets of numbers. Why is there a demographics1 and a demographics2? Is that to make separate sections within the box? I managed to screw it up somewhere. Drmies (talk) 19:26, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Apologies, your page dropped off my watchlist for some reason. If I get a chance this afternoon I'll see if I can shift things around. As near as I can tell, though, yes, there are different numbering systems to group them differently. Primefac (talk) 10:30, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

 Done! If you think anything needs changing, by all means feel free to do so (or let me know) - that is not a user-friendly template... Primefac (talk) 08:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Primefac, thank you so much--you're fancy. One thing this has taught me is just how much there is under the hood, and how much we owe to the developers and the writers of code. Thanks again! Drmies (talk) 17:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Help with Jamberpilot

Hello. I’m here to ask for your further help with this user who has recently switched to this account after making misleading edits as an IP. He doesn’t appear willing to stop editing in regards to abortion in Ohio. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 05:38, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Also, I’m having trouble with my internet connection, so it’s difficult for me to keep up now. And I really don’t know how to manage this. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 05:43, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

I hope that you’ll be able to keep an eye on him, as I really do need to go to sleep and don’t know how to put any protections in place. There will certainly be a lot more traffic to pages related to abortion in the coming days, and Jamberpilot clearly has a malicious agenda to misinform the people who will be relying on Misplaced Pages for accurate information. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 06:15, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

VictimOfEntropy

Hey. VictimOfEntropy seems to be maliciously changing any and all pages related to Abortion. We had a little discussion on the Talk page for Abortion in Ohio, where they were completely uncivil and unconstructive. Could you please intervene? This is getting ridiculous. Understandably, this is a contentious and hot issue currently. However, this does not justify the opinionated changes and reversions they are making. Any help would be appreciated. Jamberpilot (talk) 05:50, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Drmies is the other user who reverted your vandalism, Jamerpilot. And I will also direct Drmies to the personal attacks that you have made on me. Stop your ridiculous assault on logic. Misplaced Pages is meant to inform, not mislead people. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 05:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Your inclination to call something 'false information' and immediately revert something is poor behavior. As noted in the Talk page, I realize what you are trying to ensure is said on the page. However, the additional information that you removed is valid information. You could have easily made an edit to the page adjusting this, not gone nuclear. This isn't a personal attack, I don't know you personally. What I do know is your behavior here in this context- and it's not constructive at all. Jamberpilot (talk) 06:02, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

My behavior on Misplaced Pages has never been anything but conducive to improving the quality of articles on this site, something that you have no history of despite your apparent skill at navigating it. You have made accusations against me which are blatantly false, but true in regards to yourself. Drmies also undid your entire edit as it was plainly clear that you were acting maliciously. And you ignored Drmies instructions to discuss on the Talk page and put your misleading edit back on the page immediately, despite me quickly arriving to explain how wrong you were, and now you’re still complaining about it, despite how ridiculous and deceptive you’ve been, Jamberpilot. VictimOfEntropy (talk) 06:11, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey Drmies. You'll find that I made appropriate adjustments from reviewing the Talk page, and the version history- despite this problematic user's clear intention to ensure a bias remains in place. I would like to note that this user had came to my personal Talk page to threaten me posing as an admin, on top of their persistence for edits. It's very evident that this user is very passionate about this matter, understandably in such a pivotal time. In my own opinion, that is a huge indication that this user should be kept from having edit permissions from any subject matter related pages. They have gone through many different Abortion pages to mock up tone-charged edits because they know, and even admitted it above, that there would be a lot more traffic between now and the coming weeks so they want to moderate it. I am trying my best to deliver information in a simple and unbiased manner, and you will see that in my various edits. The only reason I came here to even make an edit in the first place is because I have a friend who is currently experiencing a pregnancy scare conveniently at the same time of this pivotal litigation. I investigated the laws myself for them to provide them with potential realities, and I had to do that because there was a lack of research done on the current law text. So, I decided I wanted to make that information available for others that may be concerned as well, or is simply curious. I offer my apologies that you had to deal with this. Jamberpilot (talk) 07:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

• Hello, VictimOfEntropy and Jamberpilot. "ANI 2.0" night shift on call. Could you please both stop reverting each other, while we await the good doctor's opinion? Because regardless of which of you is right, what you're doing right now is edit warring, and if people edit-war across multiple pages we can't fix that just through page protections, so we have to block them, which would be a shame, since I do think both of you are participating in good faith here. On that note, could you please stop calling each other vandals? See WP:NOTVANDALISM. -- Tamzin (she/they) 08:42, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
  • I gave 'em both warnings for edit warnings. They are both blockable at this point. Watching the page --Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:01, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
  • I sure missed a lot of excitement, didn't I--if you kids are in the same time zone as me, I sure hope you got a good night's rest. (Sorry, Tamzin--can you tell I've been reading Winston Groom this morning?) Yes, this back and forthing is just really unnecessary and unhelpful. And I just left a note Victim's talk page, before I saw what all had been happening here. I don't think either side has a good showing here, but Jamberpilot certainly jumped the gun, and Girth Summit rightfully warned them about the sourcing issue--there is a good reason we use secondary sources, and simply parroting or, worse, reinterpreting primary sources is never a good idea. This page simply needs a few experts with cooler heads. Drmies (talk) 14:50, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

  • If I had thought about that ahead of time, I might have suggested some A/B testing, Doktoro, running the sentence each way around for some hours to see whether it was simply the case that the first hyperlinked subject was the more viewed one. Uncle G (talk) 06:05, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Revdel?

Mr. Bond (musician) had a source that looked to be a court document uploaded to a random upload site, and was used as a source with no proof it was real. It sourced the real name of someone who's name hasn't been released in RS, as well as a DOB. I think that it should probably be revdel'd up to my last edit, and it might qualify as an attack page. If it's not an attack page, it looks like BLP1E is probably at issue. That said, I implore ANI 2.0 to take a look and see if revdel applies, and some input on the BLP1E/attack page issue. The guy seems pretty horrible, but amplifying him and making him seem more notable than he is probably isn't the right move. As always, any assistance is appreciated. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks, but I hope some of your ANI regulars can have a look. Drmies (talk) 00:45, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
• Night shift's off to a fun start! Okay, @ScottishFinnishRadish, I initially RD'd everything, and then in discussion with an oversighter determined that "Philip H." is supported by RS. So I restored that, but the full name is OS'd. Initially I'd thought this might be an outright WP:BLPDEL situation, but now that I see he was actually convicted (which I've since made clear in the article), probably not... But, as someone who thinks it's never BLP1E (not because I'm an inclusionist by any means, but just because most people seem to have not read the damn policy), this might actually be BLP1E. -- Tamzin (she/they) 01:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks a ton. I'm on mobile right now, so I didn't search for more sources about the conviction, but I did see Philip H. was used in the sources, so I had left that. I'll do some more looking around tomorrow to see if I think AfD for BLP1E is the right move. Thanks again for the help. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:24, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

He's Back

Good morning, that persistent disruptive editing person who has been blocked many times using different ip addresses is back at it again with a new ip address. His last edit was to the Jersey City Fire Department page, which I fixed. He's using 2603.6011.DF01. Please assist in blocking, this ip address is already blocked from 4 different pages by friedokra, or deepfriedokra. Thank you, Doriden (talk) 15:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

• Gotcha. I blocked the /64 range; perhaps Deepfriedokra feels like the /34 range needs it as well. Drmies (talk) 16:02, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Thank you Serols for your assistance. This person has been at it for several years, same content, same types of editing. Anyway, I appreciate your response. Doriden (talk) 16:18, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Sure thing! Drmies (talk) 16:19, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

June Parker

Thoughts on this? To me, it signals a pretty critical failure to understand BLP, of the sort we normally indef over. My involvement with them so far has been entirely administrative, and my edits to 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting and its talk have also all been administrative or noncontroversial, but since that does add up to like 20 edits across those two pages, out of an abundance of caution I thought I'd bring the matter to you and ask your opinion. -- Tamzin (she/they) 18:48, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I don't think that the edit itself is worth an indefinite block, but it was certainly worth a warning. EvergreenFir addressed the matter before (and right below) the editor used the word. But in general I've been thinking this editor is headed directly for a NOTHERE block--by a thousand cuts, so to speak. Drmies (talk) 20:05, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

That edit itself may not be but their overall editing pattern is definitely blockworthy. They appear to have an axe to grind and accuse any editor who they come into contact with that doesn't agree with them of "shadowing" and racism. PRAXIDICAE💕 20:08, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Watch out, they don't appreciate being mentioned. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:46, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

ScottishFinnishRadish, I saw that, and that was silly, but you don't have to bring that up here. Tamzin, I don't know what your thinking is right now, but I think that you, with your organizational skills, should be able to compile a concise and convincing body of evidence that you can either use as a block rationale or for an AN post. I think this editor has totally worn out their welcome. Drmies (talk) 00:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

@Tamzin: +1 --Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:39, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

"organizational skills"??? You fucking take that back. The same organizational skills that had me reply in April to an email you'd sent in October about an RfA I'd been planning to run in January?I'm good at putting a lot of words into a semi-coherent order, though, so I did that, and then blocked them. Eight years without starting an AN(I) thread on someone, looking to keep it that way as long as I can. -- Tamzin (she/they) 01:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Topic ban

Hi Drmies, I have been topic-banned from a couple areas of Misplaced Pages for many years. I wonder two things: first, would it still be okay to start a private email correspondence about such a Misplaced Pages article with an editor of that article to point out an error; second, am I allowed to discuss anything in these topic areas at BLPN or at the article talk pages? Incidentally, I think both topic bans were bullshit and basically intended to slant article content; User:NeilN said he would reconsider the second ban after six months, but then he promptly disappeared from Misplaced Pages. I have no desire to deal with ArbCom again as long as I live. Thanks in advance for answering my question. I hope you’re well! Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 07:18, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
