If you're here to alert me to the post-1932 American Politics DS sanctions, the BLP DS sanctions or the pseudoscience DS sanctions, please rest assured, I'm aware. However, notice of specific DS restrictions applicable only to a particular article should already be included in the edit view of that article, so it's safe to assume I'm aware of them as well.

To say it in WikiVoice, or not??
While this list of sources is really good and does establish "commonly used by reliable sources" I think we should additionally ask ourselves - what added benefit is there to Wikipedia saying it "in our own voice" as against simply reporting in a neutral manner that it is common for his comments to be described as racist.
As of this moment, we are engaging in what I think is admirable short-term restraint. We say in the lede "He has a history of making controversial [weasel words] comments." That's fine as far as it goes, because 'controversial comments' is true, and is neither positive nor negative as an evaluation. Sometimes controversial comments are good, sometimes they are bad. Fine.
But we are at the same time here being too cautious, I think, in that we fail to inform the reader as to why the comments are controversial. Is he saying things that might be controversial in Iowa like "Gay marriage should be legal" or "Marijuana prohibition has done more harm than good"? No, actually.
So I think we should cautiously say something like "He has a history of making comments that have commonly been referred to as racist.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]" Well, maybe 9 footnotes is excessive, but you see my point. We have more than enough to make the point that the reader needs to know, and I think the point is stronger than if we simply say, in our own voice, that he has a history of making racist comments. --Jimbo Wales (talk) 9:57 am, 19 June 2018, Tuesday (19 days ago) (UTC−5)
To include it in a BLP, or not??
BLPs wherein a subject's work, beliefs or ideologies are perhaps more controversial than the actual subject, should not become focused on bolstering and subsequently refuting the subject's views or theories rather than actually defining the subject. In many cases this may in fact be due to the subject trying to push their own ideas, while others work diligently to refute them, but many such cases involve editors who have no affiliation with the subject other than a personal belief/disbelief in their work. A person's biography is not a good place to debate scientific theory or ideological beliefs; such debates belong in the articles that focus on those topics. For BLPs, it is enough to simply state what their views are and link to the articles which expand on those views. (quote by Zaerethedited for brevity; Jimbo Walesagreed with Zaereth’s explanation.)

Need help identifying an image
Gold medallion discovered by commercial diver while exploring a sunken ship in the Mediterranean
I would much appreciate it if a (talk page stalker) or expert(s) in whatever field this medallion would fall under could identify the symbols or language on the pictured medallion. Atsme✍🏻📧 04:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not Greek or Egyptian. It looks a bit like Arabic to me. Perhaps a pre-cursor alphabet to it. Mr rnddude (talk) 17:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You've captured my attention with this now. It's a very nice medallion. There's not too many symbols, and a few of them repeat (for example, reading in a clockwise direction, the 6 o'clock symbol is the same as the 11 o'clock (last) symbol, as are the two three o'clock ones). In total I see eight individual words(?) here. Now I want to know what it says. It's all entirely beyond my abilities. Looking at the Arabic alphabet, the first symbol looks to be made of three parts. Perhaps alif ṭāʾ alif (اطا) or lām ṭāʾ alif (لطا). I'm afraid that aside from the shadda (w) above two of the symbols, which appears in Allah, nothing is remotely familiar to me. Mr rnddude (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what I remember the diver told me, they found a small treasure box and quite a few remnants scattered throughout the wreckage. In retrospect, I should have been far more inquisitive when he gave me the coins. I just found the following website, and it lists some of the wrecks that were discovered in the Mediterranean and thereabouts. Atsme✍🏻📧 19:31, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't expect that it'd help me, but it did. I believe the six o'clock symbol is لسّلطا. I couldn't identify it before because I couldn't find the squiggly looking bit of script, but it appears in nearly every name on that list. The thing with Arabic, and many other scripts, is that the much of the alphabet will modify when going from standalone to cursive script. I'd need to know which bit of alphabet is being modified and what it's modified form looks like. There's also the matter of a calligraphic stroke looking distinct from a keyboard one. I wouldn't trust any translation from GT for this, but I'm using it as a basic Arabic keyboard and it translates the symbol as "For authority" or "To Salta". Might be a ruler's seal? or perhaps a reference to godly authority. I note now that there is a difference between the six o'clock and eleven o'clock versions of this symbol. The later version has a ن cutting through it's top with a large ° underneath it. I don't know what that is or how to replicate it. Do let me know if you find out what it says. Mr rnddude (talk) 20:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I got distracted by reading that I actually forgot to answer your question. On first inspection, I'm not seeing anything similar. That said, the names are very artistically presented, so maybe some visual modification has been done. Your best bet is to have someone familiar with Arabic or Persian look at it. Mr rnddude (talk) 21:09, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Coin
The larger Arabic coin is approx. 1¼ in.Each side of each coin has a different inscription

Oh, ok - thank you Kalogeropoulos...so it's not an Arabic coin - it's a representation of one. Interesting. Do the 2 coins have any monetary and/or historic value? Is there a story or message in the text/symbols/inscription? Atsme✍🏻📧 19:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Verrrry interesting. Thank you! I wonder if enhancing the images or shooting better ones would help? The pieces are very thin but not too pliable. They've been underwater for a long time, and I'm afraid to clean them with anything harsher than toothpaste. I can't tell by the color if it's gold or some other metal. Do you think there is a venue equivalent to the Smithsonian Institute for Islamic artifacts/coins/jewelry I could contact? Wouldn't it be cool if these 2 pieces are all that's needed to solve a historic puzzle, or maybe complete a necklace or family heirloom? Atsme✍🏻📧 18:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Moderation
The below story aligns with my own feelings would you care to comment ?
Hi, Dr Nobody. I researched the edit history for Olivia Colman and it is my determination that it was either vandalism at play, or as a long shot, some bizarre publicity stunt. The latter came to mind after I saw this cited source. The article criticizing WP was publicized rather quickly but it was not reported as vandalism. The author of the article was Olivia Colman, so it's highly possible that she simply doesn't understand how WP works. Once an admin was made aware of the edit warring, the BLP was semi-protected. I'm not sure there is adequate proof that the IPs who were focused primarily on her DOB were socks that may warrant an investigation - Berean Hunter?? - but it was rather strange for such an extensive amount of back and forth regarding a long standing stable DOB (infobox added in 2006) that led to criticism of WP in Sky News, authored by the BLP herself and published within a day or two of the aggressive focus on her DOB by IPs. Atsme✍🏻📧 17:10, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing what has been alleged concerning the birth date at all. I would need to see diffs. I did find where someone was removing Olivia as a birth name, two accounts...this and this. That would be an issue where someone might ask about a birth certificate in OTRS if they had been written to but she would have had to authenticate herself somehow and that doesn't sound like it happened. That issue is the only thing that even slightly looks related. — Berean Hunter(talk) 18:37, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ewwww...lotsa diffs, BH...beginning 27 January but most on 28 January 2019 within 1 to several minutes of each other throughout the day.
Jan 27 2019 mobile IP 2a02:c7f:2856:8600:bdc3:500c:3d3b:a753 changed long standing stable DOB to 1966.
Did I miss any? Atsme✍🏻📧 00:51, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You missed where "Colman said it happened "years ago" and that she gave a nickname to disguise her identity." She isn't talking about the recent vandalism which seems to have started Dec. Jan. 14 and the recent spate of vandalism in January is because this podcast was published. The diffs that you have are all within the last several couple of weeks, right? She and those newspapers caused that. The situation that she describes never happened. — Berean Hunter(talk) 09:46, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your analysis Berean Hunter. How very odd. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:52, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Odd that you would agree with my analysis? — Berean Hunter(talk) 11:01, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, in fact not. Just the lengths to which folks will go to promote a new podcast! Martinevans123 (talk) 11:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
BH, please re-read my reply to Dr Nobody above. I simply brought your attention to this issue for validation and possible action for what I thought had caused the disruption; i.e., "either vandalism at play, or as a long shot, some bizarre publicity stunt. I know what she said in the article did not happen - I went to the trouble of researching the diffs, and stated in my reply above that the correct date has been long standing. I wasn't sure what, if anything, could be done to prevent it in the future, short of PP. I'm now wondering if you possibly misunderstood my reason for pinging you? Atsme✍🏻📧 18:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My new article Land of Maidens would make use of a better version of the header painting
GRuban once provided links to the "getting place" for such images...all I need to remember is when and where but hopefully he will help us again, and this time I'll file the links in a place that's easier to remember. Atsme✍🏻📧 14:00, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. Yes, maidens are hard to find nowadays, and even harder to land. Though, honestly, the image you already have isn't that small resolution, and, reduced to display in the article the difference will be hard to see to all but the most discerning. But I did find something maybe half again larger in each dimension, see if you like. Unfortunately this one comes with a white border that isn't strictly rectangular, so cropping it off either leaves in some border or loses some painting, you call as to which is better, or if you like you can try to recrop. Also I removed an "of" from the Commons category name. --GRuban (talk) 15:51, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. That link there will take you to a noticeably higher resolution version. That would be the holy grail, no doubt. A few issues, though.
There seem to be two column tops occluding the lower corners.
Downloading won't be trivial, since the higher resolution version is not sent as a single image, but displayed on a canvas, quite likely a block at a time.
The website apparently has limited capacity; as I was trying to debug exactly how that image was displayed on the canvas, it started sending a usage message.
So if you really, really want a higher resolution image, all that can be overcome, but only with effort. Perhaps the images I uploaded already, above, will suffice? --GRuban (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
SNAAAAKE!! - he came through for us again. I must remember to simply search his user name in my archives (and vice versa) to find his pearls of wisdom but then I thought maybe he needed the exercise to maintain freshness...you know, use it or lose it. Atsme✍🏻📧 17:25, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, pearls you want now? In this case, the pearl diving was by doing a bit of Google Image Searching.
First, Google Search-By-Image (I use a Commons gadget that makes it easier, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-GoogleImages.js, but you can also just go to http://images.google.com, click on the gray camera icon in the searchbox, and paste in the image URL - note you want the URL of the actual image, not of the Commons page that happens to host the image)
Then after reading a few of the results, one of them mentioned the Boston Public Library, so I did another (either image or standard) Google search on "Castle of Maidens Boston Public Library" and found the DigitalCommonwealth links among the first few results. --GRuban (talk) 17:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! [1] is great but I think "date" should be rather for when the painting was made. (Also only now realized [2] has been there all the time.) There are other images of notably poor quality like [3] or [4] (the latter in use for Galahad anyway at Blanchefleur now.). SNAAAAKE!! (talk)
Careful edits to your User page
A few of us gnomes go around fixing pages with Special:LintErrors, and your user page popped up on my radar as a page with many errors that were causing the page to be displayed in ways that changed when Tidy went away. I have boldly and carefully made some changes to your page in order to restore it to what it likely looked like before Tidy's departure. If I have made any errors, I apologize. I'm happy to fix any mistakes that I have made; just let me know what doesn't look right. (There are still some low-priority errors remaining; a bot will probably come by someday to fix those, if the community deems it necessary.) – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:27, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Jonesey95 - thank you for all the work you do gnoming. I thought I cleaned the lint trap several months ago to prevent moisture build-up and eventual paint peel - guess not. I am rather dependent on Tidy so whatever accommodates a better display of my page's cleanliness, please feel free to gnome away...although don't be concerned about any of the dirty language you may happen upon.

I think quite a bit of this comes out of what turned out to be a mess that emerged in one of my talk page archives. There was enough lint to knit a sweater, and I think a lot of it was thanks to Atsme (and to Thunder Britches, whose return I hope is imminent). Jonesey95 was kind enough to fix it for me, and I'm guessing your messages showed up. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:37, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just before 3,000 feet, the propeller stopped, and she twirled to the ground. The instructor ran to her and pulled her out of the wreckage. He asked, "What went wrong?" She said: "At 2,500 feet, I was getting cold so I turned the big fan off." Atsme✍🏻📧 22:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WOOF, WOOF, WOOF
Atsme, how are those little puppies doing? You know, I did that once too. Both a lot of fun and a nightmare at the same time.
Golden retriever with her litter of 13 goldendoodle puppies
Wow! 13 puppies and you survived! My daughter's litter is down by 2 and the survivors are getting big fast, Gandydancer. She, not I, is the one who was blessed/cursed with that litter. I'm a former breeder of Rottweilers - retired from breeding/raising/training-exhibiting when there was no one left but me to clean the dog runs. As you already know, being a breeder-kennel owner is a lot of work that requires child labor. My oldest daughter (who had excellent training in kennel cleaning/training as a child) ventured into raising/breeding/exhibiting American Bulldogs and French Bulldogs, and has done well. She had one litter of 13 bullies a while back but I was never blessed/cursed with such a huge litter. I'm just an humble spectator. I can only imagine what it must be like to be strapped with the responsibility. Crissy's holiday litter of 12 is now down to 10 puppies; 1 died at birth, and another had ichthyosis and had to be put down. I see where some of our dog articles need some work so as soon as I can pry myself away from The Adventures of Merlin marathon on Netflix, I'll get busy. I also have an image of a premature red bag foal that I've been meaning to upload. Oh, and I raised/owned/sold a few pot bellied pigs, one of whom (my Miss Piggy) was in a B-movie that aired on Bravo (Flowers on a MooMoo), and another I gave to Leslie Merrill (she hosted/did voice overs for me) was flown to New York to appear on David Letterman's stupid pet tricks. As it turned out, the night she was scheduled, Letterman hosted Sting and Samuel L. Jackson, and the show ran overtime, so all Leslie came away with was a year's supply of Coors Lite, and some photographs of Layla with the 2 celebs. Atsme✍🏻📧 14:57, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)
It is my immense pleasure to nominate Atsme, a highly prolific veteran editor and one of the best contributors to Wikipedia. She is an editor who totally deserves this award and, in fact, it was very astounding that she has not received it yet. She has created 43 articles and provided 84 Images to enhance WikiPedia. She is a proud member of the WP Response Team, the Guild of Copy Editors and Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse racing. There are countless reasons to nominate her, but the best reason would be: "Writing or significantly expanding articles on a regular basis". A visit to her talk page is filled with humor and enjoyably fun. She has immensely contributed to a wide array of animal species in addition to other articles on monuments (American paddlefish, Faisalabad, bowfin, loham, and the Taj Mahal as well as several others). I would therefore strongly advocate that she be adorned with this award!
