Mozart

In the RfC, can you please say what kind(s) of infobox? See the discussion for Carl Nielsen, and the discussion about minimal infoboxes on Classical music. Do we really have to make people run into each other three places? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, no, I think it's better to just have a very brief, very neutral "Should the article Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have an infobox?" RFC question. Feel free of course to make a comment in the RFC suggesting a specific infobox or linking to any other discussions you think are relevant. Levivich (talk) 21:26, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Understand. Did you see the other two discussions, before or now? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I hadn't seen them before but I did see them now. For my part, I don't really care about all composers, I just care about the big ones like Mozart. Levivich (talk) 21:38, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

(edit conflict) to clarify: I don't need more questions about my agenda, when I have tried tried tried to avoid the topic for about seven years, so better don't say a word - see also 2015.

(after edit conflict) For my part, it's the opposite, see 2021. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Have you seen Mozart? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:23, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Haha, no I had not, thanks for letting me know. If I had a nickel for every time someone here called me a Nazi, I'd have to declare myself a paid editor. Levivich (talk) 14:55, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

March songs

my story today

I am less concerned about someone calling you a Nazi but - further up in that thread - that a whole side of users to an RfC was compared to the Wehrmacht, a military organization, saying - my understanding - that the "invasion" of another article by an RfC is organised warfare. It discredits all who came, as not coming freely and independently. The myth that I'm behind all this seems not to die. I think that an RfC should be published neutrally to all projects involded, - no idea if by a bot or a person. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:07, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm actually most concerned by someone insisting the Wehrmacht weren't Nazis. Levivich (talk) 15:09, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

It's the same kind of going for myths, do you see that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:08, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm watching Mozart, still determined to not get burned there, and see that you pinged (2nd list) Jerome Kohl who died, and have Davey twice. - I also watch the CM Mozart, thanks for investigating, but I can't help find Russian military presently an even greater provocation than German. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

I did not ping in the 2nd list, that was someone else. :-) Levivich (talk) 19:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for support, - flowers further up to not interfere with arbcom. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Composer Marek Kopelent died, and it's Saint Patrick's Day --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:25, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

Precious

Three years!

... better context ... - what happened to your archive 5? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:23, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

today we remember the 150th birthday of Max Reger, who saw the horrors of a world war right when it began in 1914, while others were still in high patriotic moods - talking about our smaller "war" here: see the talk where I - as the principal editor - had to defend my choice of an infobox, while the typical argument is that the principal editors decide, - well, I managed, a first at the time! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened

Hello Levivich,

You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

I tried (see my talk page). I know you didn't want to participate in the ArbCom case so feel free to ignore this. You'd probably be better at getting at the heart of what I've been trying to say if you changed your mind, though. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 01:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Quick question regarding the RfC for the Mozart infobox issue

I am unfamiliar with the process of closing an RfC. Is there a projected day/time when the RfC will close? Chefs-kiss (talk) 14:00, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

@Chefs-kiss: The RFC banner will be automatically removed after 30 days, but there is no set day/time when the RFC will actually close. See WP:RFCCLOSE for the details, but basically, when the discussion dries up (a week or so with no new votes), someone will come along and close it. If this doesn't happen, you (or anyone) can list it at WP:CR. Levivich (talk) 16:58, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

OMG

I saw that edit years ago. Looks like he unblocked someone who shares his ideology, -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:51, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Should I give him a CTOP alert? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:01, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Nah, I don't think he's edited much in the topic area lately (or any other topic area). Levivich (talk) 18:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

We need a {{uw-cowboy}}: Hello, I'm Levivich. An edit that you recently made seemed to be a cowboy admin action and has been reverted. If you want to practice admin actions, please use the sandbox or User:Example. Levivich (talk) 18:38, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Admins

Because the admin loses his tools at once and can only have them back if he chooses to return and address the issues and does so convincingly.. That way they can't get the flu and call out till the case blows over or is forgotten. This provides a positive incentive to take WP:ADMINACCT more seriously than have those dessysopped by this method have done. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:17, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

And after the unblocking debacle, I still think he needs as CTOP/R&I notice. That'll show 'm -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

All it would have taken was, "OMG! What was I thinking!. I will never do that again! Swear! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:20, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Someone who'd say that wouldn't have made those edits/actions in the first place.

I still don't understand why admins are the only editors who get the option of scheduling their own arbcom cases. For everyone else, it's a case in absentia. Levivich (talk) 19:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

What Barkeep said. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:25, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

It looks like GN wants a case in absentia. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 02:19, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Freshmen arb bribes are cheaper. I can't afford senior arb rates. Levivich (talk) 04:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Shoot me an email

If you'd like to discuss the topic ban and my reasoning. I suggest email as the discussion could easily veer into an iban violation, and since the discussion wouldn't actually be exempt as it's not covering the limits of the ban or an appeal I wouldn't want to make the situation shittier than it already is.
