A Note to the Humor-Impaired
— Leander Hamilton McCormick, Characterology; an exact science embracing physiognomy, phrenology and pathognomy, reconstructed, amplified and amalgamated ... (1920)One should beware of those who cannot or will not laugh when others are merry, for if not mentally defective they are spiteful, selfish or abnormally conceited ... Great men of all nations and of all times have possessed a keen appreciation of the ridiculous, as wisdom and wit are closely allied.

Cwmhiraeth, thank you for the update, and congratulations on your accomplishments!! Atsme☯ 03:59, 16 July 2014 (UTC) I did the DYK nominationIt's here: Template:Did you know nominations/Gabor B. Racz. You might want to put it on your watchlist because it's sometimes necessary to do a little editing before it's accepted, but in this case I think that'll be minimal. By the way, you should be quite proud of the minimal attention the article got from new page patrollers. You probably didn't realize it, but those two or three small edits people made right after you moved it were just the tip of the iceberg of probably around a hundred people looking it over to make sure it wasn't too crappy to survive, and then it got assessed with a C by the bio wikiproject. Very good!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 22:10, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

FA congratulationsJust a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Bencherlite 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Today's Featured Article: NotificationThis is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Misplaced Pages Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014.

Charmayne James GA review in progress
Hi Atsme! We finally have some progress on the GA review. Could you help me out a tiny bit with one of the reviewer's questions? See Talk:Charmayne James. They have said the following about the Career earnings section.
"This section looks like an indiscriminate list to me, unless you could explain how this is relevant."
I'd like to add content to describe the list as accurately as possible in the correct ProRodeo terminology. Who better to do that? I am not sure how to explain it between the NFR and the WPRA involvement, or if that matters.
This is exciting it's here as it's my first one...Thanks again for getting me here! :) dawnleelynn 22:45, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Don't template the regulars essay
I just found out about this essay, which has been around since 2007 with that title and want to rename it. I can see horrible issues with it and said so on the talk page in non-vague language. What about you? Edaham (talk) 05:00, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Edaham - You may well find your answer in the following discussion about the DTR topic. As you will see by the posts in that archive, I was under heavy fire. If you still wish to discuss the template with me after reading that discussion, please don't hesitate. 13:53, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
I had a glance. I had a suspicion that you may have chimed in on this subject before. The essay isn't balanced. It doesn't do a good enough job either way (whether or not you support the sending of templates warnings). It weakly states that the regulars shouldn't be fed these messages, doesn't give any reasonable info on how to use them correctly and shoots it's self in the foot from the start by giving its self an unbalanced and non neutral title. If it were an article we'd plaster it with citation needed stickers. The essay as it is worded, particularly with regard to the use of the word "regulars", has left its self blatantly open to misuse and therefore lowers its value in doing what it is supposed to do, which is caution against exactly what you were arguing in support of in the thread you directed me to above. You are right that templates are used for gaming and this is bad. The essay doesn't really make mention of this and probably should. Edaham (talk) 14:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- While essays are not WP:PAG and reflect the opinions of the author(s), there is nothing to prevent you from making improvements. You did the right thing by beginning a discussion on the TP, and I would suggest that you actually propose your desired changes on the TP one section at a time, perhaps using a side by side table showing the contrast between current vs proposed. I realize it sounds like extra work, but I'm of the mind you will face less resistance if editors can see the comparisons. 14:45, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- agreed on the side by side comparison. It's too easy to affect a knee jerk revert, especially after the entrance I made. People might easily assume sweeping changes are being made. Edaham (talk) 01:44, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- ((buttinski)) You could always just do what I do, and a lot of us do: ignore it. It's just an essay, although people point to it as if it was Policy. Personally I template the regulars all the time. I usually add a personal note, but the templates exist for a reason. --MelanieN (talk) 03:49, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- This is definitely wise advice and I'd do well to learn from it, but I kind of like Misplaced Pages policy. It's part of what I find interesting about the project and if I don't like a policy, then I at least like the fact that I can try to rewrite it and it's not a closed book. In short, I support the facilities that have led to this project becoming what it is. That essay, which is apparently being commonly cited, contains text about the contradictory nature of policies and implies or at least gives reason to assume that these apparent contradictions are a reason to dismiss warnings. Because I feel that it isn't being supportive of the project I will propose one or two suggestions for changing it just like I'd do at any other page. They might not get accepted, but I'd like to try because the page in question could do a lot more to provide guidance on this subject - and not just to "regulars".

Hey, MelanieN - look what I made for you at the start of this line. I liked your text version so much I made you a template with a graphic. Hope you have fun with it. 03:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- That this template was produced as a result of the discussion at hand makes it worthwhile irrespective of the outcome. ♥ Edaham (talk) 04:18, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

What I actually came here to say
About your RfC: You were prevented by WP:Neutrality from putting your argument ("if the president says something, that means it isn't classified") into the questions themselves. That's as it should be. But that doesn't stop you from putting your argument into the discussion section. Without that explanation, it isn't even really clear what you are asking or why. Explain it in the the discussion section, as briefly and pointedly as you can. Note: This suggestion is made in pure good will and because I actually do want people to understand, and evaluate, the point you are trying to make. See you there. --MelanieN (talk) 03:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zar je važno da l' se peva ili pjeva? World Tour
So I really do not know why you did it ...? Tour Was it just published, and there are no more dates than these. I'll soon add a picture. I very closely follow the work of Lepa Brena, I am her fan. So I think it's really not right to register a page for deletion. Brena will soon release a new album, so this whole story will expand as well as the tour of course. I'm asking you to delete this request to delete the page, because there is no reason to do so. thank you. Maja Polovina (talk) 16:28, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
PSA Tour
There was a problem with the formatting of the nomination for deletion. I have fixed the problem; you can find the new version of the nomination at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PSA Tour (2nd nomination). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:35, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Your username
Hi,
I came to your account to ask the meaning of your username, I have been curios since I saw it for the first time. When I came to your account, I also realised you are a lady. I dont know why, but I always thought you are a guy in mid 20s. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:09, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
- I only wish mid-20s, Kiran. My user name is nothing to write home about - just a shortcut for "That's me!" (drop the "Th"). It was actually born of sacrasm in an effort to defuse name-calling criticism, so it should be pronounced with a sort of 🎶syllabic ring🎶...a mix between this and this. 😂 20:19, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

You sent email
I just found out you sent email, I don't know what you said, the message did not get through (many user emails apparently do not, I think its GMail's fault). I just want you to know I didn't ignore you, I just never got it. Guy (Help!) 00:00, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Many thanks and a question
I really appreciate your hard work in bringing my article ″Ellen Susman″ to life! One question: All of the taped interviews from her television show are on a YouTube channel. I believe it would be helpful to cite the channel as an external link at the bottom of the article. Can you help? Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/user/EllenSusman. THANK YOU! Mlwmiller (talk) 13:46, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- No problem - her BLP meets our notability guidelines. I don't see a problem adding the channel since we normally include a website for BLP's if they have one. 14:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
Can you please help me understand how to add it? I will work on verifying her date of birth. Thank you! Mlwmiller (talk) 15:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Certainly. I recommend that you start with Misplaced Pages:Tutorial and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. 15:14, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

copyvio
Hi Atsme, I just saw the AfD you had posted. I wanted to take the copyvio question offline. I believe copyvio does not exist WITHIN wikipedia, see Misplaced Pages:Copying text from other sources#How about copying from one Misplaced Pages article to another?. The fact that this is itnernally copied is atributed on the article's talk page. pseudonym Jake Brockman 18:46, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- I added that just now. Galobtter (talk) 18:51, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- Wonderful. In case you hadn't noticed, I have also taken the liberty to post the deletion discussion on the talk page of the main article to invite a broad group of editors to add their voices.pseudonym Jake Brockman 18:54, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- I did notice . It'd be good to have enough people for a proper discussion. Galobtter (coptalk) 18:56, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Jake Brockman - thanks for the info. I just finished reading Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism#Copying within Misplaced Pages, so I'll strike the copyvio comment. What about the part in plagiarism that reads: ...copying content (including text, images, and citations) from one Misplaced Pages article to another or from one language Misplaced Pages to another is not plagiarism as long as attribution is provided via the edit summaries.?? Do the measures Galobtter took satisfy that as well? 18:57, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
- It's not ideal, but the fact that talk page notices have been added remove the worst of it. Certainly changes it from "immediate delete" to "trout". Primefac (talk) 19:03, 13 November 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- According to the policy -
Attribution can be belatedly supplied by the methods above, using dummy edits to record new edit summaries and via talk page attribution using the {{copied}} template. Such belated attribution should make clear when the relevant text entered the page.
I also have to add a dummy edit apparently. Galobtter (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2017 (UTC) Regarding the trout, I wasn't the one who copied the text . Just trying to fix the errors of others. Galobtter (talk) 19:05, 13 November 2017 (UTC)- Never said you specifically should be trouted ;) Primefac (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Infamia, etc.
From a quick glance at that user's various socks, it looks like you have been a target of his wrath, so it occurs to me you might be in good position to recognize other socks if and when they turn up. If they do, and are identified, it will be a step toward a full ban of that user from Misplaced Pages. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 00:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up, Bugs. You might want to take a look at this AfD which he was involved in and expressed "violent oppose" in his edit summary. He started out trying to create the article going thru the AfC channels, I think, and it ended-up being a redirect to the main article, but he somehow managed to add more content, and delete the redirect which tells us he's an experienced editor. The editor who made the redirect has since changed his mind about it all at AfD after the sock was exposed so I don't know what's going on. I do know it was a copy/paste from the main article 96+% likelihood it was copied which caused a plagiarism issue that was fixed by this edit. My apologies, but I don't know enough about socks to be of much help. Skywarrior mentioned this editor. If I see anything suspicious, I'll ping loudly. 00:45, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

HMS Coreopsis review
Hi, Atsme; I'm not sure I understand the note you left on my talk page. I created HMS Coreopsis but have done no curating or reviewing. Trust it's okay, should anything else need doing, please let me know. Alansplodge (talk) 16:54, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker)Maybe the message should be different if the person is autopatrolled (the page was marked patrolled as you have the autopatrolled flag). Galobtter (talkó tuó mió) 16:58, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, that makes some sense. All this reviewing malarkey is a bit of an arcane science to me I'm afraid. Alansplodge (talk) 17:06, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
- Apologies, Alansplodge. The curation tool automatically sends a post to the article creator, regardless of the intent of the reviewer (mistakes included). I think in your case, I was looking at the article as a possible dab and thought I checked it originally when it didn't need a 2nd check, so I unchecked it...or something along that line. Lorty...these new fangled inventions. Anyway, I blanked the auto-message from your TP. 17:58, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

- Have you tried synthetics? Oh wait, no. I assume you go to the bot talk page and request it. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:03, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
- On the other hand, I just looked there, and people seem to be yelling at the bot owner. I dunno. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

- Yes, User:BD2412bot is a bot account used by User:BD2412 to de-lint BD2412's signature in Misplaced Pages. It needs to go through the WP:BRFA approval process before further use. I don't know if the bot can de-lint only BD2412's signature, or if it can de-lint other signatures also. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:57, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- If the task is to change one string of text to another, a bot can do it. However, if this is going to be a mass-undertaking, something more sophisticated than mine (which just churns syntax through AWB) will probably be needed. bd2412 T 21:02, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, my - KGirlTrucker81, Anomalocaris and BD2412 - I'm a Mac user which means...well hell, I dunno what it means, if anything, because my code savvy is L-I-M-I-T-E-D. I have trouble remembering acronyms if that tells you anything. When something doesn't work, I complain to Apple and they fix it (most of the time - there actually have been times I've had to shine a light on the issue). If the issue rests with html or stylesheet or java, etc., I speak broken code. While I can work on some of the mechanical aspects of a Mac puter (change a track pad, memory, fans, some circuit boards, etc.) anything involving code becomes a tl;dr issue for me. I know what to do with lint in my navel, between my toes, or on my clothes (and I'm not above selling it to preppers) but I'll leave the code lint issues in your very capable hands. Just let me know if my sig is still causing problems after I "fixed" it...and if you can't explain in layperson terms, just say, Thanks Atsme, we're on it and you'll get a lovely personalized Wikilove message from me. 21:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- You fixed your signature, so you aren't causing more lint with your signature. There are now 8,809,398 lint errors of type Obsolete HTML tags, most of those
<font>
tags. That is an undercount, because the counter stops at 20 in any one article. Obsolete HTML tags are currently about 70% of all lint errors. I'm providing these numbers to give you the idea that your signatures scattered about Misplaced Pages represent only a few "parts per million" of all of the Obsolete HTML tags. It would be great to delint them, but it's a tiny part of a much larger problem. BD2412's criterion is "to change one string of text to another", and I think that's exactly what's required here, so I think a bot can do this easily, but BD2412 has more experience with bots than I have, so maybe there's more to it than that. —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:58, 24 November 2017 (UTC)- To be clear, I didn't fix all my lint errors. I grabbed a batch of 25,000 (which is AWB's limit), then removed User talk pages from that (so as not to cause people to receive a notice of a new message), and actually fixed about 4,000. I could have grabbed another batch after that, but at that point was cautioned to go through BRFA. Bear in mind that I am an anomoly, since most editors don't even have their signatures on more than 25,000 pages. Nevertheless, a more sophisticated approach would be needed to identify all the errors needing to be fixed, and probably to fix them in a way that did not disrupt watchlists. bd2412 T 22:05, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

New article
Dear Atsme, Indeed, Thank you so much for organizing my article, I find it easy for me work on it in a draft form. I have just begun the article and it is my second article. I hope you would keep an eye on my work, I request your directions for the article. I really enjoyed reading your user page. Perhaps, I didn't see which country you are from! Thank you Rane2030 Rane2030 (talk) 13:55, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

BLP
I suppose there's probably a way for me to appeal, I haven't checked. The whole thing is such a time sink that I'd be reluctant, but any advice would be welcome. Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:41, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
- I wish there was a speedier process, and while I'm not fully convinced it was the best decision, it was an honest one. Look at what just happened with this AfD which reeks of political undertow - I just haven't figured out which political party because the guy is disliked by both sides. There's not a whole lot one can do when PAGs are trumped by IAR, if you know what I mean. Perhaps more good would result from focusing your energy on helping to clear-up the ambiguities in our BLP policy. I've started an essay in my sandbox if you're interested. The best release I've found for some of the frustrations we, as editors, are faced with is to see what's going on at the TP of EEng, Martinevans123 or Tryptofish - three of my favorite editors who are fair minded, highly intelligent, and encourage us to laugh. 21:59, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

I recently found a drink that is very relaxing and healthy, a powdered form of magnesium citrate. Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

- Cool, a cowboy. That explains the animated gif and your user page. Don’t combine those two activities! Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:23, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- Mag citrate has many uses including that one. It’s a vital nutrient and most people don’t get the RDA. My Dad is taking it right now on doctor’s orders to relieve leg cramping. Does the pot before bed help you sleep? I tried it orally mixed with honey. Cheers. Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:23, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- I just wouldn't want anyone to chug magnesium without knowing what they are getting in for if they ingest too much. Anyway, it certainly can make a person have a right to claim to not be full of you-know-what. No, not for sleeping per se, more for more complicated issues that I guess I'm going to leave as vague for now. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:53, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- I drink tea & honey before bed...and the only chemical I've used comes in a box called Loreal Excellence, partly because 6 years of editing WP created a gray area.

WP:AE
Hi Atsme, I saw your AE statement and can see two problems with it. First of all, such edit can not be reasonably viewed as a topic ban violation by another contributor. You can't reasonably argue that editing anything related to any politician who has been endorsed by D.Trump was a topic ban violation with respect to D.Trump. Second, and more important, the request was about you. Do you think that if someone else violated his restriction, that excuses you? Saying that, I think the editing restriction you apparently violated is unhelpful and should not be used... My very best wishes (talk) 22:25, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
- Really? Well maybe you can explain your reasoning to James J. Lambden (I'm not pinging him because I don't want any further misconceptions of his block or TB). I would have self-reverted had I known that reverting a TB editor was going to result in a TB editor getting a free pass but another editor beat me to it, and #2 - I only reverted what I believed to be the revert of a TB user. I'll add that if he wasn't TB, he damn sure should have been. If GF editors are unable to see the NPOV violations (BLP policy vios) and how the system is being gamed, shame on them. I'm done with this discussion so please go away. I know when I'm being railroaded - I can smell the friction of the iron wheels on the train track. 22:45, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
