Re Rainbow Trout GAN

Mongo, thanks - my goal is to get the big four--rainbow, cutthroat, brown and brook trout articles up to GA status then start pushing for FAC. --Mike Cline (talk) 11:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I won't step on tour toes with those as I did a bit with the Fort Yellowstone article...but will mention that keeping momentum is a good thing...one might take another of the articles you mention to GAC but return to the last one promoted to GA while the story is still fresh for the FAC push. Rainbow Trout is in excellent shape already...it's close to FA now.--MONGO 14:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Just requested Peer review on the Rainbow trout article. Am about ready with the Cutthroat trout article for a GA request. Hope you are having a good holiday. Thanks for all your support. --Mike Cline (talk) 15:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I put the peer review on my watchlist.--MONGO 15:05, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

File an SPI

If you want to file an SPI on MilesMoney you are welcome to, but placing an accusatory template and category on his user page, and deleting his comments from another user's page is disruptive. Kindly stop it.- MrX 19:26, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I can begin to see where you're coming from with the claim, but... I can't make a sockpuppet duck test judgement, I didn't know 24/7 that well. Looking back at his history isn't good enough.

Can you lay it out at an SPI or at least in better detail here?

Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 23:10, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

@MrX...you're right...but I thought the SPI was still open. The template however automagically adds the category to the page. Secondly, I can and will remove any harassment and trolling done by that user on Arthur's page.

@Georgewilliamherbert...a half dozen folks are working on the sock investigation offsite. The initial conclusion is that MilesMoney is StillStanding-247...who may also be a previous ban evader. If you want the details I can email them.--MONGO 23:55, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Email away; will keep them confidential on-wiki etc, and if I am convinced I'm willing to act. But ya gotta convince me. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 01:25, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

If we were to pick this up after xmas, it would not be a tragedy, I think. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

About 4 accounts all edit from the same place it seems...the checkusers want behavioral evidence and that just takes longer to put together. Its not like they showed up to work on articles about butterflies or a mountain....they're all just POV pushers on political articles and related areas. They are what makes the website suck...I prefer dealing with teenage vandals frankly. Least the kids that edit Pokeman articles are earnest and sincere.--MONGO 05:39, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I like the sound of this discussion. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays whatever fits! Best,--NK (talk) 13:29, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm generally an exclusionist, especially in BLP's so when I see any editor arguing incessantly for the inclusion of negative junk in our bios, edit warring for such things and fighting everyone that disagrees with them, then it's obvious to me that we are dealing with someone that is incapable of working collaboratively on article improvement. In a way, wasting time tying to pin down which ban evader they are isn't necessary since we have the diffs that clearly show they need to be told to play elsewhere.--MONGO 17:57, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

• Old evidence from arbitration case on SevenOfDiamonds...aka NuclearUmpf, Zer0faults, SixOfDiamonds and others.

Stalking

This false ANI report is stalking.

• It is redundant with a WP:3RRN report.
• Both contain a direct lie: they claim I said I violated 3RR; I made no such statement.
• I did not violate 3RR, but I did ask the page to be protected because of a flurry of reverts.

Do not lie about me. MilesMoney (talk) 18:53, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

• Feel free to file a case with the arbitration committee.--MONGO 00:00, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Nah, that's your thing, not mine. Besides, the false report was properly closed, so I'm dropping this. MilesMoney (talk) 00:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I really think you should file a case with the arbitration committee. It's not like we'll be the only ones at the dance...we'll have lots of company and you'll have maximum attention. I don't see how you can resist since you've apparently been stalked and are surrounded by liars...it's the best way to put a stop to the pain.--MONGO 00:15, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take that under advisement. MilesMoney (talk) 00:19, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Well, my advice may not be worth much, but since all these other editors are stalking you, and they're liars and they are interfereing with your ability to edit constructively, I think you need to put a stop to all the harassment you're having to put up with.--MONGO 00:29, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I'll also take that under advisement. MilesMoney (talk) 00:33, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Not taking that under advisement, as it crosses the line into personal attack. Bad Mongo. Redact yourself. MilesMoney (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

NO..I refuse..you better file an arbitration case...I was just trying to help you out is all, since you think filing cases is my "thing". You don't have to copy my opening statement verbatim of course...you may have your own ideas about all this harassment and stalking and lying you're being subjected to. An editor with your contributions history should be respected, admired and set as an example for others to follow....not kicked to the curb like some darn troll.--MONGO 01:13, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, troll. Interesting choice of words. MilesMoney (talk) 01:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Exactly! well not really exact since troll is but one word, so its not really words unless we add something like obnoxious or something in front of it. How about, "not kicked to the curb like some darn obnoxious troll"???--MONGO 01:42, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Peer review of Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution

I heard somewhere that you were offering to help fastrack a peer review of an article that might be ready to make the transition from GA to FA. We put in for a peer review on 4th amendment a while back, but no word so far.

If you have the time and the interest, would you take a look at it? I mostly work on getting articles from non-existant to stubs, so I'm not up on FA criteria. Your help most appreciated. --HectorMoffet (talk) 10:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

"Vandalism"

Reverting an edit that is a textbook violation of WP:CITECONSENSUS is not "vandalism". Good day.—indopug (talk) 12:20, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

There is nothing textbook about it...he converted the page to templated cites, you reverted it, I reverted you then you reverted me for some stupid reason...looks like consensus is against you. Though not mandatory, the article has a much better chance of becoming featured if it uses a more organized citation style so I have no idea what your reverts could be except vandalism.--MONGO 14:22, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

You guys just had conflicting sources, technically both of you were right. I know it is easy to get pumped up when you are busy improving an article (and by all means, I think it is great to improve the article), however, you probably can dial back the abrasiveness just a notch when doing so. You know this stuff better than I do, so I will spare you the boring monologue. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 00:32, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks for taking it in stride. Please understand that the trout isn't a warning, it is just saying "Come on, you know you aren't supposed to tell fellow editors to fuck off". I'm not one to get dramatic or draconian when dealing with civility complaints, boys will be boys, but I felt obligated to say something. You know the drill, which is why I don't labor it and try to keep it light. I explained in greater detail on his page, as he is newer. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 01:23, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Of course...I moved on after the admin plopped that warning template on my page...I just log off when it gets hot. Also, I didn't move the page to get a credit for such a sad affair, but was just going by consensus that the material needed a stand alone article...had no idea when I did this that it would then be an In The News piece linked off the main page. Anyway, I had one argument about how many were missing, then saw another one editor insulting your and.my work in edit summaries...then watched an odd page move which the guy switched back..so by the time I restarted editing, my patience was already thin...and here we are.--MONGO 01:51, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Of course...so long as we acknowledge that I am never wrong...that's a joke...ha. But actually, as far as that article goes, so I may not do a lot more on it until the full story is known. I tend to get frustrated if I work in very active articles and cooler heads do better. My forte is obscure geographical points and featured article development and reviews.

Meh...above is from the deadly 2014 Oso mudslide article...which happened in the Steelhead neighborhood near Oso, Washington...so the sources say. Sources then say that the neighborhood is named for the Steelhead, a type of fish which used to be common in the river there. Steelhead is a name for an ocean going group of Rainbow trout...and the unknowing may incorrectly confuse some species of Salmon and Rainbow trout and call them both Steelhead as there are similar looking subspecies of ocean going Salmon and Rainbow trout that have silvery or steel colored heads...but the correct species that is a Steelhead is the Rainbow trout. It is not impossible that those that named the neighborhood area meant Salmon, but we don't know that, and since Steelhead is a Rainbow trout and not a species of Salmon, then we don't violate piping on ] like that...because a salmon and a Rainbow trout are not the same thing. Trout and Salmon are similar and are members of the Family Salmonidae, but they aren't in the same genus even.--MONGO 22:25, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

YouTube as a RS

It is possible for YouTube to be a WP:RS, it's just extremely unlikely. The main thing to take into account is the provenance and the channel publishing it. In this case, the Zeitgeist video is published by a channel named "subversiveoptimism" which has no indication of being any kind of official or approved account. In fact, TZM has an official channel named TZMOfficialChannel, so if the video were found there, it would possibly be acceptable as a WP:SPS by TZM. But it's not, and so you're right in this case, the video is not a WP:RS. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 00:11, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Interested in another FAC review?

Looking for some solid reviewers to pop by on the FAC for Mucho Macho Man. Would you be interested? Not a fish, but rather a racehorse who runs with the big fish, so to speak - and to mix metaphors - horribly! I need a few more people to look it over and review. Be nice if I could get it finished this month. Montanabw 16:15, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Given the limits of tech, I am fine if you point out a problem on the FAC page for me to fix, I've been chasing down other people's tweaks for a couple weeks now... just would be glad to get your support if possble! Montanabw 00:46, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

It looks very good right now...I'll read it over one more time tomorrow and not do any editing especially with any bots! I don't see any reason to not support except that I am methodical and usually wait a few days before I do so after I start a review. My ex trained quarter horses but I don't know much about them myself...odd.--MONGO 01:12, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

I appreciate a methodical review, makes the article more likely to be blessed by the FAC gods who promote! LOL! Ah horses... if you think of them as mentally like 1000 pound cats except that they are eating (and pooping) machines who are quite accident-prone, you will be on the right track, ;-) I gotta love 'em! My own breed of choice is the Arabian, but I get a kick out of these race horse "biographies" because the people involved almost always have a great back story. Montanabw 21:16, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

She trained AQHA registered quarter horses...she had some early involvement with a horse named Zips Chocolate Chip, but didn't do much as far as the heavy training or showing except as an assistant. That horse apparently was a major player in the western pleasure class. I did a little riding in the Yellowstone region but most of the time I was stuck driving a police cruiser or fighting forest fires.--MONGO 02:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Oh yeah, Zip's Chocolate Chip is a horse I've heard of, and I don't follow AQHA particularly closely! video How long ago did you live/work in/near Yellowstone? Montanabw 03:32, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Re: Collapse of the World Trade Center article

I explained where my notes are. None of you have replied to any of my points. I question how much consensus building can occur with people who don't seem to understand the material and who won't bother to do the research. The article Talk page already acknowledges this is a topic for which much is in dispute. If you haven't read the NIST reports yourself, or done the research, you should step aside. There is much more to be changed in this article. Just undoing what others have done without checking the facts yourself is doing no one a service. You need to co-operate on this. --Jasne9 (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

The tribe of Bishapod

The pallid sturgeons really do look remarkably like Bishapod, don't they? Bishonen | talk 21:48, 17 May 2014 (UTC).

How dare stupid editors call these handsome fish ugly?? Have removed unwarranted slur! bishapod talk to your inner fish 21:50, 17 May 2014 (UTC).

Bishapod is correct...very unfair to call this fish "ugly"...that is a rather subjective assessment anyway, probably made by some crazy humans with a poor understanding of what is and what is NOT ugly! Hum...though a wee bit sidetracked with another article at present, little Pallabish sturgeon critter fishy article is a bit overdue for an update. Much is spent trying to save Pallabish from extinction...and that needs to be added to the article, nasty humans and their dams and fish hooks and all. Article of paramount importance...last species on earth that saw Godzilla when he was but a wee lad (toddler), and prior to city-eating adolescent stage.--MONGO 21:59, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Speaking of efforts to preserve the species from extinction, surely it's a bit unfortunate to emphasize in a widely read encyclopedia that it's good to eat? And even, rather horribly, to suggest that catching it is a "rewarding experience"! :-( (That also comes from a couple of sentences in the lead which are not found in the article.) Yes, yes, many people enjoy killing wildlife as we know, but it needn't be encouraged, need it? "Oh, look, it's the last of the dodos, hand me my gun, Jeeves!" Bishonen | talk 22:19, 17 May 2014 (UTC).

Indeed, the article is written from the perspective of the callous humanoid....Eight wild boars roasted whole at breakfast but twelve persons there.

Raynolds GAN

Mongo, I suspect I am too involved in the Raynolds article to do the GAN with good conscience. I'll continue to help tweak it. However, I'd like to suggest that you propose to Powder River 1876 that he, she, they, it, whatever conduct the GAN. PR 1876 is a relatively inexperienced editor that I believe is showing some potential, especially on US military topics in the 19th century. I've been mentoring informally. I have no clue as to how PR 1876 might react to the request, but if couched in language that says reviewing an GAN is an excellent way to learn a lot about WP content and style guidelines, they might bite and I'll be there to help the process along. What do you think? Can we bring a newbie into the fold? --Mike Cline (talk) 19:42, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I'd generally prefer an experienced GA or FA writer/reviewer to do the review....but I don't have a problem with them doing it so long as they can examine the GA criteria and apply it...that would means that they could review but shouldn't really edit the article itself.--MONGO 20:22, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Your call on the invite. Article shouldn't have any problem going throught GA in its current condition. I'll be there to help. --Mike Cline (talk) 20:51, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Mike...I'm probably going to pass as to now on any invite to this guy....unless he starts talking about his edits I'm more likely to just undue his work at this point. He doesn't appear to have made any talk page edits.--MONGO 23:25, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey MONGO, you're the most active and experienced editor I've come across in my short time on wikipedia, so I am asking you for help on an issue. I hope it is not too much trouble. Basically, I added a couple references to the Bowyer–Watson_algorithm page - the problem is that they do not list with the other references at the bottom but show up separately. What is the best way to go about fixing this? Thanks for any help! Smitty121981 (talk) 16:38, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Smitty! I added the {{reflist}} template to the references section as shown here so your new inline refs would show up better. The other three references are not cited in line with ref parameters. Hope that helps!--MONGO 17:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Hey MONGO, I hope we can resolve our differences on the September 11 Attack talk page. Just reminding you of this advice I sought from you a week or two back (on a non-9/11 related article). It was good advice and I appreciated it. Smitty121981 (talk) 20:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm always happy to help with things as above but now that you've been once again (as you were in 2011) reminded that you could be subject to discretionary sanctions regarding your disruption in 9/11 articles, the hope is you will return to non disruptive editing.--MONGO 23:13, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Warning

That editor is doing exactly what he's supposed to do; he's calmly and reasonably discussing content changes on the article talk page. In response, you shut down the discussion and threatened the editor. That's exactly the opposite of what is supposed to take place on an article talk page and you know it.

hi MONGO, not trying to bother you, but you said "Oppose as written" so I am just coming here to let you know that I revised the proposed wording on the RfC to something which I hope is much more neutrally worded, in case you'd like to take another look. Thanks. Smitty121981 (talk) 17:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Allow me to be brutally honest. I oppose your ongoing efforts to minimize facts with your POV pushing of fantasies about the events of 9/11. I do not now nor will I ever support further discussion about these fantasies on an article dedicated to the known evidence...the reason we have articles about the conspiracy theories is so they can be discussed there in accordance with SCOPE and FOCUS. I think you should be topic banned from 9/11 related articles. As I already stated...you are in essence a Single Purpose Account and the textbook example of a Civil POV pusher.--MONGO 18:09, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

ANI and ArbCom would certainly be options under those circumstances.John Carter (talk) 18:53, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Ok MONGO, I understand your position on the proposal now, sorry for misinterpreting your words. There is no need to be 'brutal' however, and I must ask: will you please stop making any further accusations unless you are able to provide solid evidence for such? Before claiming that I am a WP:SPA you will want to check out the following non-trivial contributions I've recently made to topics that are completely unrelated to 9/11, and then compare to recent contributions I've made to pages that are related to 9/11. See how it adds up. . I was even thanked by another editor for this one . @John Carter: you are also encouraged to review my edit history, as well as what other editors have said about me at the RfC before jumping to any conclusions. Thanks. Smitty121981 (talk) 19:55, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

This discussion should be on the article Talk page and not here. Smitty121981 just will not accept consensus on 9/11 and keeps adding further comments to try and confuse the issue at hand. I have news for this "editor", absolutely no-one has changed their views - accept consensus please. As for the WP:SPA badge, it is fully justified, a few window dressing edits will not change the charge. You were rebuffed some years ago with your theories and have been rebuffed again. I repeat, the your issues should be on the correct conspiracy page - and not here. David J Johnson (talk) 20:23, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
