Missing ref on Scientology beliefs and practices

Hi Feoffer,

I see there's a dead ref link on Scientology beliefs and practices: the ref called "urban2006" was introduced in this edit, but without a matching citation. Do you know how to fix this problem? Let me know if you have problems along the way. --Slashme (talk) 13:54, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Typhonian Order into Draft:Agape Lodge. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:01, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Aloha Feoffer

Thank you for your kind words. There’s actually very little I remember about the Agape Lodge. I was a babe in arms when my parents moved to 1003 and about 3 or 4 when they moved to a house with my grandmother. I remember Ron Hubbard (I know he’s called L. Ron, but I remember calling him Ron) and Dr. Regardie quite well- Dr. Regardie was a regular dinner guest until I was 11.

I believe my parents were very upset about their time in Agape Lodge and spent a lot of their lives trying to make up for it. They continued their study of Magick with BOTA , Qabalah, Regardie and Paul Case and the rest of the Hollywood community.

What is your interest in OTO and how do you know about it? Pshill555 (talk) 06:22, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Aloha Foeffer: Here's what I remember about L. Ron Hubbard along with a brief history of my parents' involvement with Magick.

Rosicrucian Order, Agape Lodge, BOTA, Dr. Israel Regardie, SUBUD

My Mom, Margot, joined the Rosicrucian Order during the ‘30’s and moved to San Jose after studying Theosophy for awhile in Los Angeles. My father, Fred, also joined the Rosicrucian Order in the 30’s (along with his mother Clare Gwynn) and moved to San Jose from Los Angeles. They met and were married in 1941 within the order. I was born in 1943. Herbert Spence was my godfather (he must have been godfather to many, many of the order’s children)

My father was apparently a spectacular student and was encouraged by adepts within the Rosicrucian Order to join the Agape Lodge of OTO in 1943 or 1944 to continue his magical education. (I believe, but cannot verify, that there was a strong connection between the Rosicrucian Order and Aleister Crowley at that time). My father, mother, and I, as a babe in arms, moved to 1003 South Orange Grove Avenue. In time my father became the Lodge Secretary.

In 1946 or 47 my parents purchased a house in the Silver Lake District of Los Angeles where they moved with my grandmother. I believe they broke with the Lodge and OTO at that time but remained friends with a woman I remember as Alma. My father continued studying Magick with Israel Regardie, DC. My mother became L. Ron Hubbard’s private secretary and helped to edit the book on Dianetics.

Ron was a frequent guest in our house at this time. While my father was at work, Ron and my mother would practice some of the principles that were the core of his book – I remember - mind you, I was maybe 5 so much of this is very simplistic – there were “buttons” – hurtful events that had occurred in the past made “buttons” that, when “pushed” elicited a behavioral or emotional reaction. We also practiced “going back along the time tract” to erase these “buttons”.

They practiced hypnosis as a way accessing the "time track”. I was an available, and therefore frequent subject. A pendulum would be produced. I would be asked to look at it. An image would be discussed – walking backward, going down a flight of stairs, taking a journey, falling asleep. I’d be asked to look at my reflection in a mirror lit with a candle and report how it changed. My level of hypnosis would be checked by response to pain – a lighted cigarette would be stubbed out on my arm; a needle would be run through my thigh.

My father disliked Ron, even though I doubt he knew about the afternoon practice sessions and my role in them. When Ron boasted about having caused a complete stranger to trip by pacing him down the street and then altering the rhythm of the pace (I vividly remember this story), my father asked my mother to sever all ties. She did this. She then went on to ghost write and edit a book on Hypnosis.

My father, who had nothing at all to do with Ron Hubbard and his book (he would quip that inventing a religion was Ron’s way of becoming rich) studied with Dr. Regardie quite seriously and was initiated into Qabalistic principles. Dr. Regardie was a frequent dinner guest. I adored him. When my cat fell from a second story balcony, Dr. Regardie rushed over to straighten his spine. When I was exposed to polio, he stayed with us for several nights providing periodic chiropractic adjustments to make sure nothing settled in my body. Although I was forced into quarantine for a month, I merely developed a bad cold with no other symptoms. When I announced that my path in life was to dance and teach dance, he brought me psychology texts and discussed them with me weekly to divert my interest.

Both my parents, following the advice of Dr. Regardie, joined Builders of the Atydum, Ltd (BOTA), and became close friends of Paul Foster Case. We visited Dr. Case and his wife, Hilary, regularly because he had a lovely grand piano and my mother, a pianist, and he enjoyed playing duets and four hand piano pieces. Dr. Case also was an excellent stage magician and amused me with card tricks. I loved Dr. Case, his wife and little dog and was devastated when he passed on.

This doesn’t show up in Dr. Case’s biography, so it’s possible I’m very mistaken. My father told me that Dr. Case was, along with a musician and both stage and practical magician, a physician and student of Wilhelm Reich like Dr. Regardie. He said Dr. Case had been imprisoned for awhile for practicing non-AMA approved medicine. If this is true, Dr. Case had given up medical practice when we met him.

Ann Davies was Dr. Case’s secretary. She and my mother were good friends, so she often came to our home. There was another BOTA member who was a concentration camp survivor who was also a close friend – I don’t remember this woman’s name, but she had serious spinal issues and walked with a cane.

As a family we studied BOTA subjects on a daily basis. We worked with the meaning and interplay of color and sound – this was of particular interest to both my parents as my mother was a musician and my father was a sound engineer. We had a chart of the Tree of Life that had been carefully constructed with a protractor and ruler and hand colored with fine inks. I now understand this was a Chakra Chart. We carefully and meticulously colored the Major Arcana Tarot Cards with those ink. I still have my child sized cards – 3.5 x 5”- as well as my parents’ Tarot cards and their color cards. We were each assigned major Arcana cards based on our birthdates and personalities and were expected to study and meditate with them daily.

My parents remained Rosicrucian and BOTA members throughout their lives. They also, in the early 1960’s, joined SUBUD and remained active members until their transitions. Bapak changed my father’s name to Rafael. SUBUD offered a gentleness and camaraderie to their lives that the other organizations never encouraged.

I have inherited a significant collection of occult works from my parents. My cousin inherited other occult works from our Grandmother. Taken together, they amount to a significant collection.

Pshill555 (talk) 21:11, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Peggy

books on the occult and letters that were preserved within them, personal memories, manuscripts of my mother's ghost writing.

Foeffer, I would love to talk with others about OTO, Rosicrucians, Hubbard (shudder), BOTA and SUBUD - but don't really know how to use those links. Help please! Peggy

I'm not seeing why you have been reversing my entries on Scientology, as nothing of what I have posted has been shown to be unreliable. In fact, a number of these sources aren't even from CESNUR, which has not been shown to be unreliable only allegations of it as "unreliable" are thrown about without evidence, especially as CESNUR's own page has no evidence of this. Did you read the cited pages in the article to see the direct images of the letter and phone transcript in the UCLA archives before you reversed? Iamsnag12 (talk) 23:00, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding bare url´s as sources

Hello Feoffer, please stop adding bare url´s as sources to CESNUR and other articles. Bare url´s are prone to link-rot and create verifiability problems in the long run. Please see Wikipedia:Bare URLs and Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to construct a full bibliographic citation. Thank you JimRenge (talk) 02:07, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

CESNUR

Hello Feoffer, I do not want to start a war and I agree that controversy often improves articles. However please see the talk page of CESNUR about James R. Lewis. Everybody who follows the field knows that Lewis, although participating in CESNUR conferences (but so did many others who are certainly not “CESNUR-affiliated”), has a different approach, notably on China, Falun Gong, etc. and this not recently but from many years, That he was “affiliated” with CESNUR does not show up either in his or in CESNUR’s Web sites and should be proved. Also, on the 1997 CESNUR conference in Amsterdam, either the incident about the New Acropolis speaker is not mentioned at all (it becomes a major part of the article, perhaps exaggerated, while CESNUR has been involved in other similar controversies not mentioned there), or if it is, the fact that her participation was cancelled is relevant and should not be omitted. The fact that the participation of this lady was cancelled does not support the idea that CESNUR “defends” New Acropolis. Finally, accusing somebody of defending the Order of the Solar Temple is a very serious charge. You are accusing CESNUR of aiding and abetting criminals. I found only articles “critical” of the Order of the Solar Temple by CESNUR-affiliated authors such as Introvigne, Melton, etc. I know you quote “L’Humanité” but we can perhaps agree that this article was part of a heated controversy and relying on a single source to accuse a whole organization of what is technically a serious crime is grossly unfair.

You have shown interest in Scientology. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect.

--Guy Macon (talk) 09:00, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I am really having trouble understanding why you refuse to go to the article talk page, propose a change, and talk it over with the other editors. I have seen dozens of WP:STATUSQUO rollbacks, and in every one of them except this one everybody involved "gets it" and takes it to talk. If your proposed changes really are uncontroversial, nobody will object to them.

You are putting me in a bad position. If Onetwothreeip voluntarily stops editing and takes it to talk while you keep editing, that isn't fair to Onetwothreeip. If I tell Onetwothreeip that it's OK to edit, we get a resumption of the edit war. Again I ask you, PLEASE TAKE IT TO TALK. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:16, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

@Guy Macon: I am doing my level-best not to edit war, but my job is to continue improving our articles with novel constructive edits believed to be to be uncontroversial. Your unkind words ("you don't belong here" or such) do not reflect well on you and they certainly don't serve the project. As you request, controversial changes will be proposed on talk (as they have been in the past), but constructive edits are always welcome on our articles, though I may increasingly employ self-reverts after my constructive edits while disruption is on-going. Feoffer (talk) 09:28, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

You say they are productive. That doesn't make it true. At least one other editor disagrees. That's why I asked you to take it to talk, to resolve that disagreement. I hereby revoke your license to decide all by yourself that your edits are "believed to be uncontroversial". You have gotten that wrong far too many times. New rule: at least for now you need to ask first. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

About RfC tags

Just to let you know why I (and someone else) removed the RfC template you posted about whether to include the September 10 event in the article: RfCs are not to be used every time you want to talk about something at the talk page. If you want to discuss something or get other people's opinions, just start a new thread and discuss. RfCs are for when the issue has already been discussed at the talk page but a consensus has not been reached (remembering that consensus does not have to be unanimous). Per WP:RFCBEFORE: "Before using the RfC process to get opinions from outside editors, it's often faster and more effective to thoroughly discuss the matter with any other parties on the related talk page. Editors are normally expected to make a reasonable attempt at working out their disputes before seeking help from others." -- MelanieN (talk) 16:36, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Emily W. Murphy

Hi Feoffer, I'm just letting recent contributors to Emily W. Murphy know that I've dropped the protection level to extended confirmed and added a consensus required restriction. Please see my explanation on the talk page for more information. Thanks, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

• Callanecc, I'm about to impose a two-week topic ban for that article and its talk page on this editor. Too much disruption. Drmies (talk) 15:26, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Two-week topic ban from Emily W. Murphy and its talk page

Considering the ongoing disruption on Talk:Emily W. Murphy, as an uninvolved administrator I am topic-banning you from that article and the talk page, per Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/American politics 2, which allows administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on those whose edits are impediments to the normal process of article improvement. Specifically problematic edits include this, in which you betray a lack of knowledge about WP:RS in general and the articles under discussion in particular; this, which is a really unacceptable personal attack; this, which again shows a lack of knowledge of our policies on reliable sources; this, another personal attack; this, and the earlier edit from 14:28 that started it, which again shows a lack of knowledge of reliable sources; and this edit--more of the same. These interjections, most of which show that essentially you do not know what you are talking about, disrupt the editorial process and waste other editors' time.

If you wish to appeal this sanction, you may do so via the process outlined here, Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#Appeals_and_modifications. Drmies (talk) 15:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

@Drmies: Obviously I'll respect your ban, though I'll admit I'm a little disheartened to see what look rather like personal attacks in your statement wherein you criticize me for personal attacks -- in future with other users you might consider whether that's optimal or suboptimal. Anyway, I stopped editing the article and actually made conciliatory statements about taking lessons from your earlier feedback, so it's an easy ban to comply with -- it's not as if I was about to edit that page or similar ones anytime soon! Not for all the tea in China as the saying goes. I'll continue drawing lessons from recent experiences as I move forward in other spheres, as I'm sure will we all. Feoffer (talk) 15:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any personal attacks: saying something is a personal attack when it's a personal attack is not a personal attack. At any rate I am happy to see something good may come out of this. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 17:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Ashli Babbitt's criminal history

Regarding this edit of yours, re-instating the information about Ashli Babbitt's past criminal history. Why do you believe that one event from one participant's past should be included in the article? We do not have the criminal histories of the other people who died. This seems to be WP:UNDUE, as a weak example of this one person being violent at some other time in their life, and it is completely unrelated to the events of the day (January 6). - Adolphus79 (talk) 03:50, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I get how one might argue that it's unrelated, but reliable sources routinely make mention of the prior violence in reporting on the fatality. Feoffer (talk) 23:09, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

If the article was a biography about her, that would be understandable. But it is completely unrelated to the attack, and is therefore UNDUE. - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

it is completely unrelated to the attack what can I say, RSes cited in the article disagree with you. People want to understand the perpetrator's motives that day and the prior history of violence is clearly relevant. Just as an example off the top of my head (NOT comparing article topics at all), a perpetrator of a Boston Bombing was connected to a triple homicide, and if you go look at our article on the bombing, I'm sure you'll see mention of that fact. (again, not to equate the topics or acts, that's just what popped into my head). Feoffer (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

One mention in one article about one "alleged and unproven" incident 5 years ago, is completely irrelevant to the events of January 6th. It reads purely as gossip, and is completely WP:UNDUE. Your argument that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS does nothing to provide any evidence that this information belongs in this article about the storming of the Capitol. I have removed this line again now, and I am requesting that you gain consensus that it needs to be included before restoring without discussion. - Adolphus79 (talk) 21:33, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Reopening closed discussions

Hi Feoffer. Can you cite any policy that requires non-admin closures to be re-opened if one person objects? Usually a close can be challenged after the change has been actioned. Thanks. Onetwothreeip (talk) 02:27, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

@Onetwothreeip:I think this falls under WP:NACD: "Non-administrators should limit their closes to outcomes they have the technical ability to implement." If we didn't need an admin, I wouldn't go looking for one, but we do. Feoffer (talk) 02:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

If it's just an unanticipated technical issue, WP:RMT was the right place for Onetwothreeip to go looking for an admin. Unilaterally reverting the close was unnecessary and out of process. –dlthewave ☎ 02:57, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

@Dlthewave: By all mean, undo me or do whatever is necessary to rectify the situation Feoffer (talk) 03:02, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

I agree with what 162 said here; undoing it would probably just complicate things at this point especially since others have commented. Just wanted to give my two cents and discourage you from handling things this way in the future, that's all. –dlthewave ☎ 03:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Feoffer, please undo the action yourself. It is fortunate that you have the opportunity to do so before it becomes a bigger problem. This also had the consequence of removing comments I added to a talk page. Cheers. Onetwothreeip (talk) 03:44, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 2021 United States Capitol attack (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

UFO pentagon Videos - Mick West

Just a note on your mick west request. It seems the page is quite political, with a lot of editors resistant to any change in the way the article is written. I agree, The Mick West stuff, in my opinion, is a bit "out there", and completely not in line with the Pentagon Report and various other articles. But the page has a lot of fanatics on it who I think aren't prepared to shift, or acknowledge the shit in attitude to the US Government. Anyway, it was good you posted it.

I surrender, dude

InedibleHulk (talk) has given you vanilla ice cream! Vanilla ice cream promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. You can spread the WikiLove by giving someone else vanilla ice cream, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Sorry for stressing you lately, Feoffer. We may not agree on a lot of things, but I think we can safely say having to defend something we believe in is never fun. Important, maybe, on some arguably deeper level, but August is supposed to be a time for lesser worries and tastier tasks. I got you vanilla because it was all they had, but you can imagine whatever topping you want on it, even ludricrously expensive stuff. Or stuff you were afraid to order as a kid, don't have to ask, just think about it! And if you think this is a "good cop routine", some sort of "Trojan horse attack" or simply laced with "artificial online toxicity", I'm pleased to report it is not, but will understand if you want to throw this in the trash (or however Bremenites are supposed to dispose of wasted ice cream).

To spread the goodness of vanilla ice cream, you can add {{subst:Vanilla ice cream}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

@InedibleHulk: Wow, thanks for hte kind words! No worries whatsoever, sorry if anything I said gave you the impression you were causing stress. Feoffer (talk) 20:11, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

"Cringe-inducing euphemism" seemed a bit vitriolic, that's all, a little spicy, kind of barbed. Nothing to be sorry about, though, even if I read that correctly. At least you were polite enough to not crank it up to "puke-filled sugarcoat" or some harsher words! InedibleHulk (talk) 07:51, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk: I certainly didn't mean that to be a dig at the author of the phrase, especially if it was you. Per BLP, we have to be very careful with 'insurrection', but "riot targeting congress" felt like putting our thumbs on the scales to declare an insurrection in all but name. Feoffer (talk) 08:01, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

I don't even know what that idiom feels like. I don't want to declare it an insurrection, by any rose. Regardless of that, I still have a hard time imagining a more brutally true but reasonable construction for MelanieN's phrase...does "melee measuring up lawmakers" suck as much as I think it does?

Small translation request

Hi Feoffer. I understand you are a native speaker of German. I will be grateful if you will offer an English translation of the byline of this Deutsche Welle article, and as much as the remainder of the article as you have the inclination for (paragraphs 3, 4, 5 are the most relevant for WP purposes). It's for use in the article Julian Assange.

Google translate gives "A key witness for the indictment against the imprisoned Wikileaks founder revokes his testimony and MPs from almost all parties appeal to US President Joe Biden - but also to Chancellor Angela Merkel."

Thanks for your help. Cambial foliage❧ 13:14, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Ashli Babbitt article

I undid your bold move that contradicts and effectively overturns the RM outcome: Special:Diff/1073222839. It is mandatory that process is followed, and the correct venue for what you want to accomplish is Wikipedia:Move Review. RM is one of Wikipedia's formal processes, and it takes another formal process to overturn the outcome of a formal process. Please don't do it again!

Coups

Looking at your edit summary, I am not sure you realize what I was doing. I was not “pulling attempts out of chronology”. I was pulling out *alleged* coups and *alleged* coup attempts, and putting them in chronological order in a separate section. That leaves the section listing verified coups and coup attempts, without mixing up verified coups and coup attempts together with alleged coups and alleged coup attempts for which we only have verified claims without verification for what is claimed. Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:18, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

@Anythingyouwant: No worries. I understood what you were going for. Feoffer (talk) 05:21, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Well I already reverted because your edit summary indicated otherwise. Anyway, please explain at article talk why *alleged* stuff should not be listed separately. Thanks. Anythingyouwant (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

List criteria

In case you don't know, WP:LISTCRIT are required for list articles. I don't care about the revert but you BLANKED my first attempt. Please self revert and make changes to address your top two big concerns? Be bold! If there are more concerns, we can deal with them later, though they may go away as we make further tweaks responding to your top two. And of course others may have their own biggie they want to bring up. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

PS LISTCRIT explicitly mentions using WP:NOTABILITY in selection criteria, and the kind of language I used here survived for 10 years on a dubious article before the article was (correctly) deleted for OR/SYNTH problems. ('list of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific opinion on climate change'.) So defining inclusion criteria with reference to Wikipedia P&G is not a vio of WP:SELFREF and not a reason to delete. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

@NewsAndEventsGuy: I'm sympathetic to what you're trying to do. The big factor in removal was the claim the every entry has its own wikipedia article, when the bulk of the earliest and most agreed-upon entries don't have wikipedia articles. I don't mean to discourage you from working on getting LISTCRIT nailed down in the lede. Feoffer (talk) 19:42, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the morale support. Can you suggest some language that would let us list ones with no article from before some appropriate year, but requiring articles in more recent historical times (on the rationale there are more lay sources available) ? The reason for requiring an article is that it will in theory encourage passionate editors to create articles before stirring up a fuss at the list..... and that way they'll be compelled to present sufficient RSs before dropping any dramabombs. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:46, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you... and FYI, I didn't do that edit-selfrevert on purpose, and appreciate you doing the kindness of acting on it anyway with AGF. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 23:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Flying disc craze image map templates

Hey Feoffer, I've noticed you created a dozen or so Flying disc craze image map templates (such as Template:Flying disc craze of 1947 map of reports - Jul 1). Are you planning on transcluding them into any article soon? Templates that aren't transcluded into articles will eventually get send to WP:TfD. Gonnym (talk) 10:39, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

@Gonnym: - The templates were used to create File:Flying disc craze of 1947 - no labels - animated.gif and I bet their long-term preservation will be beneficial to the project. Where would be the ideal place to store them long-term, outside template namespace? Feoffer (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

As sub-pages of your user would be a valid option. Gonnym (talk) 12:09, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

DS in effect

There’s a DS in effect at the Biden laptop page called 24 Hr BRD that says “If an edit you make is reverted you must discuss on the talk page and wait 24 hours before reinstating your edit.” Personally I don’t like this one but you may want to self revert and let the discussion play out. Mr Ernie (talk) 03:57, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

@Mr Ernie: There is an ongoing dispute that was not addres by the RFC months ago. You have been caught misrepresenting sources -- I'm content to address it as a content matter, but if you want to elevate it to a behavior issue, I welcome the additional eyeballs on your contributions. Feoffer (talk) 04:00, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

The DS is pretty straightforward. I really prefer not to escalate things. Given a current discussion at AE it is crystal clear what is currently in effect at that article. Mr Ernie (talk) 04:09, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

By re-adding the 'dispute tag', I believe you may have breached the 1RR/24hr BRD, on that page. Highly recommend you undo this. GoodDay (talk) 21:23, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, you did it again. Breached the 1RR/24HR rule. GoodDay (talk) 23:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@GoodDay:, I'm sorry you appear to be having 'wikistress'. While I applaud the initiative of the non-admin who did their best to close the earlier discussion, I think you were poorly served by that interaction. It presented you with the illusion of choice over something that editors actually had no latitude over. We operate under US libel laws, we don't get to vote on reality and publish our best guess -- every single contentious sentence affecting a living person needs a reliable source, and we can't cite ourselves or our own backroom discussion. It has nothing to do with Hunter Biden, it's about us and our reputation and ultimately even our foundation's ability to function. I too fully believe the laptop probably was Bidens, but I don't get to make that call, I need a RS. I've legitimately done my best to try to and location a source -- I can't find one. I've asked the admins at BLPN to help, they also haven't been able to find one. I'm going to keep looking, and if I find a better source at some future, I'll be happy update the article with it. But I can't just let people reinsert unsourced contentious content just because I happen to be sympathetic to the claim -- BLP is clear on that, I'm supposed to remove it without discussion. Feoffer (talk) 23:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

You haven't explained, why 1RR/24HR doesn't apply to you. It's obvious now (if not before) that you're blatantly ignoring it. GoodDay (talk) 23:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

"The existence of emails about getting Buckley Carlson into Georgetown has been known for some time, thanks to a laptop once owned by Hunter Biden that was obtained by Donald Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and pushed to media in 2020.” From The Guardian which Ive already showed you and was discussed in the RFC, along with the other Guardian piece using the language “almost one disputes its authenticity” language (in fact I cited that in my RFC comment). Mr Ernie (talk) 00:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

I mean, if you can convince the admins over at BLPN that an offhand mention is good enough for WP:V, more power too you. I don't know how to make that case when we have in-depth coverage explicitly saying the device might not be his, just a copy. Their only guidance to me was to use 'purported', which I think is way too weak. Feoffer (talk) 00:09, 7 December 2022 (UTC) I'll add -- if you can generate support for using "almost no one disputes" into the lede, I'll happily support it too. It's just about having text our readers can check up on. Feoffer (talk) 00:15, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Not a single editor raised BLP as a concern in the RFC survey. It wasn’t an issue then. Mr Ernie (talk) 00:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What can I say? I'm sorry I wasn't there. I was busy debunking the 1947 flying disc craze. :) There's no doubt that BLP is implicated and "presenting it as fact in Wikivoice is inappropriate" (Strictly speaking, if you search the RFC for "BLP", you'll find it was raised). Feoffer (talk) 00:43, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Nobody used BLP as a rationale / support for their !vote in the RFC. Mr Ernie (talk) 00:54, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

H. Biden, the saga continues

Howdy. Though you may not mean to. By (re)adding a dispute-tag to the sentence in question at the Hunter Biden laptop controversy page. You're putting into doubt the sentence itself, which was already dealt with at the last RFC. This may appears as a rejection of the RFC result. GoodDay (talk) 20:41, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

I've replied on talk -- the word "allegedly" has indeed been rejected, but DN, Val Jean, and many others have expressed concerns about the current article, so there is a very active ongoing discussion that we want fresh eyes on. Feoffer (talk) 20:46, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

My only hope is that this continuing bickering at that page over that 'one' topic, doesn't end up with sanctions being handed out. IMHO, the RFC decision is being ignored. Anyways, I hope eventually the bickering will end. Like I said, that page may be in for a tone of changes, after January 3, 2023. GoodDay (talk) 20:50, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

GoodDay, surely you know, as a longtime editor, that article improvement tags are WP's way of soliciting fresh uninvolved advice on matters of concern. You may not mean to, but you may be making Feoffer uncomfortable or defensive about freely volunteering their efforts. That would not be very bad. SPECIFICO talk 20:48, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Feoffer, you’ve violated the DS again today and if someone reports you to AE you could likely be sanctioned. The version I restored is the RFC consensus version, which is one of the strongest forms of consensus we have. If you are disputing that, the WP:ONUS is on you to get a new consensus for yo ur changes. I get that you don’t agree with the RFC but that isn’t a valid reason for your changes. I tried to propose a compromise that got a little bit of traction, but once challenged the situation reverted to the last stable consensus - from the RFC. Mr Ernie (talk) 23:48, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't see the point in linking to the discussion, when it's directly below where I've pinged the rest of the 'survey' editors. But anyways. GoodDay (talk) 14:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

"laptop" data

Not a fan of offline discussions on Talk pages like this, but this is short, so ... "laptop data" is not accurate or justifiable. The appropriate term right now is "data" or "data dump". I have not seen any reliable article which provides evidence that the data came from a laptop. It clearly came from a computer, and it is claimed that it came from Hunter Biden's laptop, but it could have come from any computer.

RoyLeban (talk) 02:37, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I have not seen any reliable article which provides evidence that the data came from a laptop. "Laptop data" is the term used by CBSNews. While it remains an open possibility that the device is inauthentic, it does seem clear that Biden owned a laptop, used it over an extended period of time, and that data from that laptop found its way into the hands of CBS News, which was able to authenticate much of it and saw no signs of tampering.

GA review for L. Ron Hubbard on hold

Hi Feoffer. I've finished looking over the L. Ron Hubbard article, and I've put it on hold. See Talk:L._Ron_Hubbard/GA2 for detailed comments, though the summary is that the article needs editing and organising to make it more readable and accessible, and I feel it would take some dedicated work over a substantial period of time, so my recommendation is that the review is closed to allow time to develop the article, and then to resubmit it. If you agree, I'll close it straightaway. SilkTork (talk) 12:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

I noticed that you copied some text from L. Ron Hubbard to Early life of L. Ron Hubbard in this edit. It's good that you noted that the text was copied, but you didn't specify which page it was copied from in the edit summary, which is required. I've since attributed the copying with a dummy edit. Although it's not required, it's good practice to add the {{copied}} template to the talk pages of the articles that the text has been copied from and pasted to, as I did in this edit. Thanks, — SamX [talk · contribs] 04:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your excellent work on the Hubbard article. Just a heads up that the readable prose size is getting close to 100kB (currently 96). Happy to help copyedit to cut this down (without removing content) when you’re done. Cambial — foliar❧ 05:35, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words! And yes, the current revision of the bio has lots of problems, including length. My plan has been to ultimately split the bio into 4-5 sequential subarticles ala how we handle Joseph Smith, with the nitty-gritty blow-by-blow details being split off into those subarticles. At the end of the line, the main article should be relaying summaries of the relevant time periods and the prose should be way less than 100kB. Feoffer (talk) 08:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Preliminary plan of the January 6 Capitol attack posted on December 28, 2020.png

Thanks for uploading File:Preliminary plan of the January 6 Capitol attack posted on December 28, 2020.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

Well this is awkward. I didn't realize that you were the one who had uploaded Powell's mugshot until I saw your comment at the FFD (I used Twinkle to start the discussion, so it automatically left this templated notice without me noticing which talk page it went to).

I just wanted to leave a message because I realize it could seem like I was rifling through your uploads as a sort of petty response to being on the opposite sides of the dispute at Talk:Enrique Tarrio. In reality, I saw the discussion at Talk:Enrique Tarrio#Mugshot, which reminded me of some mugshot deletions I did in October when a newbie editor who apparently didn't understand that Georgia mugshots are copyrighted was trying to upload the Fulton County mugshots, which reminded me that when I was doing those deletions I saw that Powell's article already had a different copy of the mugshot, which then made me wonder how that was possible given there's a freely licensed photo of her in the infobox. No hard feelings, I hope. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 16:13, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

December 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WP:FT/N. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 13:53, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

A spaceman of support

After updating the article and the article's sandbox, I went over to FT/N. I thought about posting something there to just clearly indicate that I don't think you're pushing fringe nonsense. But then thought I'd rather let a thread full of bad blood die. So I'm leaving this spaceman of support on your talk page instead. Take care, Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 06:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Appreciate your spaceman. Going forward, my primary concern for the article is to not ASSERT as fact what is clearly a very well informed opinion, so that's my new focus. It likely would no longer be productive to continue trimming/polishing the extant draft until the current instability is resolved -- every word of context is valuable and needed when the article misrepresents as historical fact what is actually historical conclusions. Feoffer (talk) 10:14, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Oh wow -- a single user has been edit-warring to insert this change since the year 2014! Feoffer (talk) 10:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

A huge debate on the talk page at that time too. I've done some recent edits to clear up references but nothing significant on the live article.

Rather than trying to polish anything, I've taken a swing at heavily rewriting that section in the sandbox.[4] I'm sure I'm losing some things and making mistakes, but I'm trying to search for a wording that better captures the sources. I think a point you were making that I didn't catch at first was that even reliable sources disagree on (a) was it a coverup and (b) if so who was responsible. I feel like there's probably a way to assert in Wikipedia's voice what we can and still use attribution for what we cannot. Also, something about Flight 4 likely being the object is missing from that draft, but it's getting late here. If any of this seems useful feel free to merge it into the live article.

I'll probably be too busy with Christmas soon to get much done on here, and hopefully all the dust settles by then. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 04:49, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Please either provide evidence or strike your statement

You said here [5] that I'm "still arguing for the use of the controversial promo image uploaded by an SPA". Can you please provide evidence for where I have ever said this? If you cannot find evidence, I ask you to strike your comment as I consider it a serious misrepresentation of my position that amounts to an extreme personal attack. I am certain I have never argued for the use of the "controversial promo image uploaded by an SPA".

First and importantly, while I did come to the view that given the arguments I saw in the RfC when compared with the normal considerations when deciding between images that I've seen, especially from my experience at BLPN, that the grey background suit image seemed the better. However I intentionally avoided ever saying this for several reason.

One is my main comments were at the AN and I did not feel my feelings were enough to say that the RfC results should not be a no consensus. Ultimately I felt that from what people had said, it would be too much of a supervote for me to say either image was clearly rejected.

So that is what I said at the AN, that I felt the result was a no consensus for either image. I also emphasised that I felt that the result of a no consensus should be the status quo just as I would say for engvar, or article titles, or BC/BCE, or date styles or reference styles or infoboxes or yes any other image dispute or whatever else where we ultimately need to chose something. While I cannot rule out this is influenced by my view that the grey background image is the one more supported by our policies and guidelines I do not believe this is a significant factor.

I'm fairly sure I argued before that Burma should be the title of the article for status quo reasons when RfCs failed to find a new consensus despite my extreme dislike for the name since Wikipedia existed, feeling Myanmar was the correct title in accordance with our policies and guidelines with Burma reflecting an extreme Western bias for a country that was located in south east Asia. I also find arguments against infoboxes nonsense but think I might have also argued before that if it's the status quo then yes it should remain until there is consensus for something new. I'm fairly sure I'd do the same since I consider this an important part of stopping Wikipedia going to hell.

Note that I also clearly said the status quo only had to be respected until a new consensus was achieved which was the desired outcome. As always, editors who prefer the status quo cannot simply ignore any attempts to find a new consensus, they need to engage in good faith in such discussion; although I admit I didn't make this clear but I felt it should be obvious. My posts can be wordy so I do sometimes try to limit what I say when I feel it's obvious. But in this case, for completeness I'll acknowledge there does come a point where we have to accept no consensus is likely in the immediate future unless something new is found and so it might be necessary just to stick with the status quo. No editor should ever desire this outcome but I do understand why for an editor who does not support the status quo it's the dreaded result, but for a supported it's more of a meh.

The other thing I said at AN was that I disagreed with one of the comments assessing the strength of arguments. My view was an is that the argument is not very strong since it's simply not how we normally treat such issues. Promotional or being different from what the subject is known for or the subject's everyday life isn't a big consideration in pretty much every time this comes up that I can recall offhand, at least compared to the importance given to is the subject clearly depicted.

(I'd note that it is a normal part of BLPN that when someone complains about an image of the, one of the suggestions is they go through the process to release a better free image, with the full recognition this is likely to be professional and promotional. Indeed some editors even seem to think it's acceptable to purposely annoy people with bad images so they may release free images, something I consider unacceptable per BLP despite my strong support of NFCC. A lesser variation which I can sort of get on board with is that while we should never include images for the purpose of annoying subjects, if that is the outcome because the only image we have is terrible, and they do release a free, and probably professional and promotional image because of it that's ultimately a good thing.)

I mean if there are two images of someone and in both of them the subject can be clearly seen etc the less promotional might be considered but even this IMO isn't that clear cut. I've seen plenty of times people prefer an image of a politician etc that is some sort of official portrait despite it being far less representative of what this person is known for (since plenty of politicians don't actually wear suits that much).

Note that this by itself doesn't mean that such arguments are clearly rejected however it does mean I don't find such arguments particularly strong and so I said as much at AN. I intentionally used small font because I did not want to get into a big debate over it especially since I felt ultimately it wasn't productive to get into a big debate over it for the purpose of that thread. I mean if people wanted to respond that was up to them but I did not and do not continue to discuss it further even having seen people did respond. But also, to emphasise I did not think my comment should get much consideration from anyone assessing if the close should be kept or modified.

The final thing I did at both AN and the talk page was to point out that there is no way a NFCC image of a living person would be accepted simply to show what they look like especially when there are alternatives, and yes this applies to both the promotional and derived ones along with the protest ones.

It's a fundamental part of Wikipedia that I consider very important and which clearly override any attempt at a local consensus. It's why I emphasised it so much and came to the talk page to further mention it. I'm fairly certain that any cases where NFCC images are used just to show what a living person looks like are extremely rare and where they do exist are most likely because someone hasn't noticed or very very very very very very rarely because the subject is a recluse or otherwise cannot be photographed and an extensive search has been done for free alternatives. Even there as I said at AN, I'm unconvinced a well advertised discussion would find consensus in favour of keeping such an image.

You'd note that I never made any comments about anything other than NFCC on the article talk page. I was obviously aware that there was still some ongoing discussion on the better image but I intentionally did not participate in anything but the NFCC aspect because I honestly did not give a fuck about which image was used provided it wasn't an NFCC one. I still do not give a fuck. Yes I had views on which arguments were strong and which image is what we normally choose in such situations, and yes these views were the grey background one but this doesn't mean I cared. I did not and do not.

Again the thing I cared most about was NFCC. The second thing I cared about was the importance of respecting the status quo. Finally as I very often do, I nitpicked an argument I felt was flawed or not supported by our policies and guidelines, and normal consensus outcomes but this wasn't a big deal to me hence the small text etc. (I mean even less than my normal nitpicks.)

Ultimately the thing which will make me happiest of all is if editors are able to achieve a new consensus which respects our policies and guidelines. (So again no NFCC images.) If that is for some protest image great! If that is for some variant of a promotional image, that's great too but not because I want such an image since I don't but because I really want a consensus outcome as the best way for everyone to be happyish.

A final comment, I'd note I'm even more confused by your apparent suggestion I wanted to the flag image. At the time I wrote all comments, I wasn't even thinking this image was still being considered. My impression is the image uploaded by the SPA had been largely rejected by all sides. Instead the images being considered were that grey background modification made by User:nagualdesign of the image uploaded by the SPA; along with a protest image. The one with the grey background instead of with the flag.

As I had not investigated a great deal I initially thought I was confused, but now that I've looked it, it does seem to me that it is the modification by nagualdesign that was being considered and which some editors consider the status quo. The flag image does seem to have been largely rejected.

You could still say the grey background image is promotional but it's clearly not uploaded by an SPA. It's a modification of an image uploaded by an SPA. (I assume you are not accusing nagualdesign of being an SPA since if you are I would suggest that's another serious personal attack.)

So I'm even more perplexed why you would think I'd support the flag image as all the time I was writing I was writing as if only the gray background image was being considered, never the flag one. I admit, because I thought it was so clear, I may not have made this as clear as I could have, however I'm unconvinced I said anything to suggest that I thought the flag image was better than the grey one especially considering my other point.

Nil Einne (talk) 01:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

P.S. While I've calmed down a bit, I'm still annoyed enough about this that I will probably be away for quite a while. I feel however I've been clear enough that should hopefully be no need for followups. If by chance I wasn't and you still feel your statement is an accurate representation of what I say, I ask that you at least strike your statement as a courtesy as I really don't want to return in a few weeks only to find I need to stay away for another few weeks. Nil Einne (talk) 01:08, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Nil, I want to confess I haven't read all of this, but I am very sorry that my words gave offense. I certainly didn't mean to misrepresent you -- we all know you were supporting the gray background image and you're correct that it wasn't literally uploaded by an SPA. I've happily struck my prior words and replaced them with ones that are more precise.

My general point stands -- to my eyes, the RFC clearly demonstrated there is no consensus to include the unrepresentative Tarrio image(s). If I think you're incorrect on problem #1, it makes me less likely to accept your conclusions on problem #2 until I've checked your math for myself. That's all I was saying -- for all your insistence that the foundation itself would never let us use a mugshot of a living person when we have free alternatives, the project is actually full of counter-examples.

Sorry to have upset you, and happy to strike and correct the words that weren't as precise as they should have been. I apologize. Feoffer (talk) 03:29, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Concerns

With all due respect, some of your recent edits, specifically this and this, make me concerned about your lack of neutrality, and that you are editing Wikipedia with the apparent aim of promoting/encouraging a pro-pseudoscience POV. The first of those edits, which I reverted, is a clear violation of WP:TPG, being an attempt to not improve the article but to promote yourself in the eyes of the pro-pseudoscience community. The second of those edits, in which you inappropriately attempt to 'speak on behalf of Wikipedia,' seems to me a clear attempt to also promote yourself to the pro-pseudoscience community, specifically to Elizondo and his associates; I note also this edit, in which you express a certain familiarity with Elizondo by referring to him as "Lue." You can try to ingratiate yourself with that community all you want of course, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. But Wikipedia is the improper platform for those efforts, and I suggest most strongly that you stop using it in that way. I also suggest that you review WP:NPOV (especially its subsections WP:GEVAL and WP:PSCI), WP:TPG, and perhaps also WP:OWN. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 12:32, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

That's a fine comment to revert -- I was recruited to the page by LuckyLouie who jokingly described me as member of the GSOW Cabal. Since I know there are people watching our discussions who don't "get the joke", I wanted to correct the record, lest anyone actually believe I'm really part of some skeptical group that coordinates off-wiki to address a hidden government-backed agenda. I'm not trying to "ingratiate" myself anyone, I'm trying to defuse off-wiki harassment of Louie and Susan by making it clear to people that our editors are not monolithic.

I would invite you to really closely re-read the comment I wrote on the AARO talk page -- it never actually says what you probably think it says. I was consciously AIMING for a perfect middle-ground to ease tensions between the outside 'believers' who worry we're all in cahoots to spread lies and our valuable Skeptic editors (who serve as our project's essential immune system, allowing the project to exist).

I would also invite you to take a close look at the rewrite I did of Travis Walton incident, wherein we basically explain "how the magic trick [hoax] was done".

I apologize if it was an error in judgement to talk about the elephant in the room after LuckyLouie raised the topic -- I thought he was asking for my assistance to help defuse the witchhunt against himself and Susan, and I did my best to be a good teammate. I hope I didn't "overcompesate" and lead you to lose faith in my judgement.

you express a certain familiarity with Elizondo by referring to him as "Lue." This is embarrassing but I forget how to spell Luis; I don't know why I can't keep it in my head. I first learned about the GSOW conspiracy theory on FTN when LuckyLouie tagged me to encourage me to continue working on UFO-related articles -- I have no 'familiarity' with anyone other than my fellow Wikipedia editors.

I thought I was summoned to be a peacemaker and mediator, and I tried my best to be that. I have no dog in the events of 2024, my interests are in 1947-1952, when the new UFO religions and faiths were first forming.

{{tq|With all due respect, some of your recent edits, specifically this and this, make me concerned about your lack of neutrality... [[6]]

Susan, who was targeted by off-wiki harassment, personally thanked me for that edit. Nobody here meant that subject any disrespect by saying he was born in Florida not Texas, people out there deserve to know that! A journalist messed up, not us.

Anyway, I'm sorry that my attempts at defusing the attacks against my fellow editors led you to lose faith in me and my edits. Please remember that I mostly stay out of the 21st century unless I'm recruited by people like Louie who ask me to help them out. Feoffer (talk) 13:26, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

@LuckyLouie and Sgerbic:, I've been trying to help defuse the off-wiki attacks on you two by reminding your critics that we mean no disrespect when we innocent;y repeat the errors of RSes and that we're not all a part of the same clubhouse. In contrast, my efforts to defuse the attacks have apparently led JoJo to lose all trust in me, which really sucks. I didn't seek out these 21st-century topics, my interests lie in the 1940s and 50s. JoJo seems think I'm promoting or ingratiating by these comments; For the record, I've just been trying to help defuse your off-wiki critics and that's all. Feoffer (talk) 13:56, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Apologies Feoffer, I have struck thru the joke comment [7] which I admit in retrospect wasn't appropriate for an article Talk page. Given the off-wiki drama that appears to fulfill Carl Sagan's foreboding, I can see why you'd be sensitive to such misperceptions. I'm aware you have a solid understanding of editorial policies that govern fringe topics, and ultimately I think you're a good asset to the project, so I sincerely hope you'll continue your work here. - LuckyLouie (talk) 14:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I had wondered about the comment you had made about letting the UFO community know that we meant no disrespect, but I knew your heart was in the right place. This isn't my first rodeo of being attacked off Wikipedia and also on Wikipedia so to some people I'm sure it appears pretty scary. As you mentioned, we are going about our business editing and in the back of my mind I know that they are also reading these messages and probably misinterpreting and missing the humor and very likely cherry-picking the quotes to use later. I am not a professional anything and tend to see things in a optimist view, so I can be flippant and humorous which I'm sure will get me in trouble eventually. Feoffer please take JoJo's snap as a learning lesson and nothing more, we know darn well you are here to help and have done so. And please don't fret about being called GSoW, you aren't but it is nothing to be ashamed of if you were, I no longer can brag about their accomplishments publicly as I don't want them bothered and harassed as often happens to me (and I use my real name) but I assure you that I've never been more proud of any group of people than my GSoW team. The quality of their work, the breath of their knowledge and their thoughtful kindness amazes me that they came from my training and consider me their leader. Mick .. I mean Louie will tell you that we have peacefully existed amongst the regular forces (as far as Louie knows) and rarely engage in admin or policy activities, just get work done. There is still a lot of work to be done, please feel free to tag me if needed. Sgerbic (talk) 22:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

While writing an article on UFO conspiracies (off-wiki), I trawled through multiple Twitter and Reddit discussions and listened to several hours of podcasts (I spend a good deal of time driving). The CIA/CSI/Wikipedia conspiracy guys have looked at a lot of Wikipedia material without understanding many terms and practices that are secondhand to editors including: rollback, undo, reverting, admin privileges, diffs, edits, blocks, bans, archiving, and noticeboards. Some people, Elizondo included, characterized getting his birthplace wrong as a part of a PsyOp to humiliate and discredit Elizondo. There does seem to be a subset of that group that takes jokes about our "cabal" as evidence.

Also, it's a shame you get such a hard time mentoring new editors, Susan. People talk about the difficulty of recruiting and teaching new generations of editors here. However, the two prominent formal mentorship programs (GSoW and WikiEd) are both maligned. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 02:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Feoffer. Thank you for your work on Have We Visitors From Space?. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

An interestingly impactful article. I had wondered about a merge to 1952 UFO flap, but on balance I think that its reasonable to keep this separate. I've worked on consolidating some references, and expanded one. I'm not sure which Peebles book you've used for your citation (worth adding in the usual way).

L._Ron_Hubbard_influences.png

Hi! Regarding File:L._Ron_Hubbard_influences.png, the article Frank A. Gerbode says

"Gerbode was for many years a Scientologist, and at one time ran the Palo Alto, California Mission of Scientology. He broke from the Church of Scientology in 1982. He later developed TIR, starting from Dianetics and working back to its origins."

So maybe Gerbode and traumatic incident reduction should be added?

There is a discussion about the image on Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/scientology/comments/1elo386/l_ron_hubbard_influences/ ).

I personally don't know anything about it, but I thought that I would pass the Reddit discussion to you in case it might lead to any improvements in the image. --Guy Macon Alternate Account (talk) 20:18, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Feoffer, FYI, I've openly floated the idea of writing a BLP article about Richard C. Doty (the government agent and UFO figure, not the academic), and I'm seeking sources and other potential input. Discussion here. Carguychris (talk) 20:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Spurred on by your interest in the topic, I started a review of sourcing on User:Feoffer/sandbox Richard Doty. It's going much better than I anticipated. Many of my concerns about WP:V have been resolved, we can definitely confirm via RS that Richard Doty was a real person who had a childhood, grew up, joined the air force and became a state police officer. If you wanted to help out, could you dig up citations (page number and quotes) from Mirage Men about major events in Doty's life: joining AF, becoming State Police, etc?
