Happy St. Lucy's Day!

Doug Weller talk 16:38, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

And from me! Bishzilla is a sensational Lucia. I hope the evening brings glögg and saffron buns. --bonadea contributions talk 16:48, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both! I'm sending Bishzilla with some saffron buns etc to your pages. Bishonen | talk 16:57, 13 December 2019 (UTC).

With due apologies for disrupting your festive season with this crap; a speedy indef is probably called for here. Ignoring policy, ignoring warnings, the works. They've edited articles I'm heavily involved with, so I can't. Vanamonde (Talk) 12:53, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Np. Oh, look, the capybaras roaring! They're so great. Bishonen | talk 13:00, 14 December 2019 (UTC).

Much appreciated. I'm getting...a stream roaring? Pretty picture though. Vanamonde (Talk) 13:42, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

186.221.217.92

Hi - On 8 December you blocked this IP and asked that I let you know if they resumed (). Unfortunately they've just made the exact same edit again (). Sorry to trouble you; could you deal with it again? Many thanks! Dorsetonian (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Blocked for a week, thank you, Dorsetonian. It's a language issue, I presume, which is a pity, but since they're impervious to warnings and advice, there's nothing much we can do other than block. We can't "fix" bad English if we can't understand it. :-( Bishonen | talk 17:07, 17 December 2019 (UTC).

Many thanks - and yes, I also think it's a combination of poor language skills and refusal to engage (the latter possibly another symptom of the former). Dorsetonian (talk) 21:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well B. MarnetteD|Talk 17:26, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you, MarnetteD, it looks delicious. I'm very fond of Damon Runyon, and I realize it's getting to be time I re-read Guys and Dolls. Well, will you look at that — our Guys and Dolls leads to the musical, while the book doesn't even have an article — merely a mention on a disambiguation page. Outrageous. And not even in italics (I fixed that). Bishonen | talk 17:48, 19 December 2019 (UTC).
  • Truly an outrage B! Thanks for fixing the italics :-) MarnetteD|Talk 17:53, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppet?

I believe this user is a sock of a user you recently banned.

ApLundell (talk) 21:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

I agree Fraud-Fenn is most likely the same person as Republicans-Liars, but they're actually not a sock for all that. I had softblocked Republicans-Liars, meaning I blocked them only because of the username, not the editing. As normal with a softblock, I disabled the autoblock, and also, in my block notice, invited the person behind Republicans-Liars to freely create a new account with an acceptable username. But thanks for your vigilance, ApLundell, and merry Christmas to you! Bishonen | talk 21:54, 19 December 2019 (UTC).

Oh. I hadn't noticed that.

... of course, his new user name is worse. Instead of calling a political party liars, his new name is an attack on a specific living person. (His first edit is to an article about a man named "Forrest Fenn".)

(And Merry Christmas to you too!) ApLundell (talk) 22:01, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Oh, right. Their only edit with the new account, yes. What a guy.. sigh. Could you please alert another admin? I'm really tired of this character, and I'm just going to bed. Where have all my little admin stalkers got to? Bishonen | talk 22:18, 19 December 2019 (UTC).

Sure. No problem. ApLundell (talk) 00:50, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)  Done --RexxS (talk) 02:09, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both. I guess we'd better all keep a lookout for when their third account pops up. If that's yet another inappropriate name, I reckon they will have outlived their right to softblocks. Bishonen | talk 15:31, 20 December 2019 (UTC).

Ha, they're already there. Oh well. I've given them an edit warring warning. Bishonen | talk 15:42, 20 December 2019 (UTC).

Io Saturnalia!

		Io, Saturnalia!
		Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday Season, from the horse and bishop person. May the year ahead be productive and distraction-free. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:21, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

• Lovely revelry, thank you, Ealdgyth. Is that hunched-over person taking off their clothes, do you think..? Or merely about to be sick? Bishonen | talk 16:42, 20 December 2019 (UTC).
  • Quite possibly both, given the usual Roman revelry behavior.....Ealdgyth - Talk 16:50, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Request for protecting the article on Chandala

Hi Bishonen,

The article on Chandala seems to be a subject of persistent removal of sourced content for a week or so, mostly as some IP user, and at times as Aman Kumar Goel, the objective being the same. Sourced content is removed from the consensus version, and the user Aman Kumar Goel is probably editing again as an IP editor in order to avoid the three-revert rule. Would request you to please check the Revision history, and take necessary action. Best Regards, Ekdalian (talk) 07:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

(responding to ping) I am not the IP. Those edits are not about "removal of sourced content" but "removal of irrelevant content not supported by sources". You have been already told about your unsupported WP:OR on your talk page, but you are completely ignoring it. Aman Kumar Goel 13:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Chandala has been semiprotected by another admin. Aman Kumar Goel, since you say the IPs aren't you, of course you won't mind if I block them for a while. Bishonen | talk 15:10, 21 December 2019 (UTC).

Peace Dove

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎ 14:55, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Scope of a topic ban being debated

No festive season is complete without some turmoil on Misplaced Pages, so please see WP:AE#Jweiss11 where it is being disputed whether your 11 September topic ban of Jweiss11 from 'all pages connected with Andy Ngo' restricts Jweiss11 from editing the Quillette article. It's a little-known fact that any admin who imposes a ban is usually free to modify it if it seems not to be achieving its intended purpose, so that's an option you may consider.
