Great work
MSITB is a necessary article! 16:36, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm currently doing most of the editing in my userspace (or whatever it's called) so that I can write stuff there and copy it into mainspace when I feel it's good enough (also prevents having fragmented bits of the book in the mainspace article). I'm planning on doing more articles about Dutch creationists, such as David Sörensen, Peter Scheele and the newly founded Logos Institute. It'll take some time though (especially since being a first-year physics student implies having close to zero time left for non-physics activities). JorisEnter (talk) 16:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

sysop
Aangezien je blijkbaar niet compleet ontspoord bent heb ik je gedegradeerd tot conciërge sysop. Zie ook de sysop guide. — Carpetsmoker (talk) 13:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Heya
Gezien je edits bij PVV, Geert Wilders, e.d.: Carpetsmoker (talk) 10:27, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Prachtig artikel. Zou best goed bronmateriaal zijn (ook vanwege de externe links) voor de pagina's over Wilders en PVV. Doet me ergens denken aan een essay over Wilders dat ik een jaar of wat geleden schreef.JorisEnter (talk) 10:42, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nog eentje. Ik word niet betaald door De Correspondent ;-) Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Curiosity
Say, as multilingual Dutch speakers among each other, which language do you like best? 142.124.55.236 (talk) 16:15, 8 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
 * Wait - you're Dutch too? --JorisEnter (talk) 16:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not from the Netherlands (as in, the country), but I speak the language. *waves hands mysteriously* 142.124.55.236 (talk) 16:24, 8 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
 * For some reason I fail to get the hint. Could be Belgium or the Netherlands Antilles (which are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands). If by 'which language' you mean 'English or Dutch': I honestly like both of them quite a lot. Latin is cool too, though. --JorisEnter (talk) 16:37, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I generally like to keep things a bit mysterious. ;) 142.124.55.236 (talk) 16:48, 8 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
 * I find that some phrases or concepts are much easier to express in English, and that some others are much easier to express in Dutch. Sometimes these are really mundane things; for example, there is no word for "sibling" in Dutch, or there is no word for "gezellig" in English...
 * One definite disadvantage of English is that there's no standard spelling or grammar (unlike Dutch), and that British people don't know what you're on about if you use "Americanisms", and that American people don't know what you're on about if you use "Britishisms", and lets not even mention the Australians! e.g. pants vs. trousers, brackets vs. parenthesis, crisps vs. chips, sidewalk vs. pavement, etc. This has been a source of confusion on more than a few occasions between me and my (British) girlfriend... Carpetsmoker (talk) 16:38, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think I use Americanisms and Britishisms indiscriminately. The same problem occurs when trying to speak Tweants (as WP calls it), so I just avoid it (using two different varieties will probably make somebody feel offended). --JorisEnter (talk) 16:53, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, yes, I've experienced this too. For example, I've found there's no clear equivalent of 'awkward'. "Genant" comes close, though it matches more with 'embarrassing'. I generally prefer English over Dutch, at least on the internet (for some reason). I don't really agree about standardized spelling/grammar. There are standards, there's just multiple versions to choose from (and the differences aren't that big/numerous, overall). Well unless you bring textspeak into the picture, but let's not... >.> And aye as to Americanisms and Britishisms, though differences like that are kind of a given with any language occurring across geographically separate regions (sometimes the geographically separate isn't even required, just look at all the Dutch dialects). As for other languages, Latin, Greek and Arabic seem cool too, though my knowledge of them is very limited (still dunno how you're supposed to pronounce that 'ayn sound). 142.124.55.236 (talk) 17:19, 8 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
 * "Ongemakkelijk" is the best translation I could find for "awkward". You're quite right about the lack of need for geographical separation: some people (not me) can apparently judge where in their town somebody lives purely by listening to their accent. --JorisEnter (talk) 17:22, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, accents. I fear those are mostly lost on me. Maybe it's my bad hearing, but I find it very hard to distinguish between any of them. And yes, "ongemakkelijk" seems like a decent translation, thanks. :) 142.124.55.236 (talk) 17:44, 8 January 42016 AQD (UTC)

Sidebars
All references before a sidebar don't show up in the ). I prefer to substitute talkpage templates for some reason.--JorisEnter (talk) 20:47, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * But... but... It makes people's talkpages look like butt! ;__; Reverend Black Percy (talk) 20:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Good point. welcome is a bit too big to be substituted indeed.--JorisEnter (talk) 21:02, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That too. And just for the record, I learned how to use templates at the site when somebody - think it was FCP - gave me the welcome template. So we should prolly use that instead of "custom code", just for the added bonus of helping newbs get a hang of templates. :3 Reverend Black Percy (talk) 21:04, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

The thing with the thing
Top of the morning to ya, buddy! I've got a quick question for you again - this thing "HotCat" (or as I'd wager to call it, BlazingMouser) - what is it really? A bot? What is its function- replacing categories or something? All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 10:47, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * HotCat is a gadget (you can enable it in your preferences, together with things like HotArticleRate) that allows you to easily add, remove and change categories. I could of course try to explain how it works, but TOW has an entire article on it.--JorisEnter (talk) 10:53, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank ye kindly! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:05, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

I dun did it
I sysop-protected the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association article. Feel free to extend - as far as this sysop's concerned - if troubles continue. All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 18:19, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * We'll see what happens when the block I issued to BenGarrison expires. If he's just a sock of Pamdanz, neither of them will be able to edit.--JorisEnter (talk) 18:20, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * There should be an auto-block on anyone using that name. Obvious 4chan trolling.  Petey Plane (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Which name? What's the reference? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 18:38, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * BenGarrison aka Ben Garrison. It's an old 4chan meme.  Same with TheRealMoonman.  Assuming it was the same user.  Petey Plane (talk) 19:09, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Please be careful online!
People know your name and what you look like. That can be annoying at best and dangerous at worst. No, seriously! You don't wanna look at that manipulated image. Nerd (talk) 03:44, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

The invisible talkpage
Hey buddy! You mind helping me out by paying some attention to this? I've been trying to get people to care, but they're all too busy smonking with wed. All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:17, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

TAA Text
You reverted some IP vandalism on the AmazingAtheist page. That IP didn't, but I'd like to actually discuss the text in question. Does someone really need consent to be looked at? Saying this person thinks ogling is OK and then saying you can't consent to it implies that this person is somehow endorsing a grave social crime. I think that it could be rephrased to be a little less hostile to the subject. Do you agree that the wording is a little too strong? 20:31, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I re-instated the edit. Ogling doesn't need anyone's permission. I'm not saying it's fucking well-mannered to ogle, I'm just saying you don't need written consent from anyone to do it. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 21:17, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Good day, Joris!
All's well and all swell I hope? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 14:02, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Of course! I'm currently on holiday in Prague so my edit rate is quite a bit lower than normal, but I can do the occasional bit of work here and there. I must say that the Kent Hovind page looks particularly nice - which it should, of course, as Hovind is one of the most visible creationists around.--JorisEnter (talk) 14:09, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Next up, William Lane Craig? :3 Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:48, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Please be seated
Good evening, Sir. I'll be your waiter this evening. Tonight's specials include; I'll be taking your order shortly. Just don't fill up on bread! All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:46, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * A starter consisting of a few newly whipped-up navs?
 * A full-sized WLC buffét, done with the recent new recipe developed for our now-delectable Ken Hovind?
 * Finishing off with a light Freeman-inspired dessert from Georgia?
 * A live muppet show to go with the fine dining. Enjoy! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 21:30, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

A bot would help
I see you're updating the new "webshites" category. I'm not sure how to but if you can it would speed things up to have a bot automitically include all "Internet hate sites" as "Webshites". ClothCoat (talk) 07:20, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * TBQF that wouldn't be necessary - Category:Internet hate sites is already a subcategory of Category:Webshites; if any IHS pages have Category:Websites on them that should simply be removed. I'm currently editing from my phone - and HotCat is truly a godsend when doing so - but when I'm back home in a few days I'll have a look.--JorisEnter (talk) 07:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah ok Godspeed then. ClothCoat (talk) 07:45, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Echo, echo, echo ...
Hey pal! I might as well ask you the same thing. All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:26, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Heh, we apparently had the same idea - I already replied on FCP's talk page.--JorisEnter (talk) 12:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Let's continue the discussion there, shall we? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:29, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Lunch-lady Joris; do ye hav' any GREASE!?
...Because I was wondering; how do I Bronze an article? Time for me to learn those buttons, methinks. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 19:10, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Simply add bronze to the page; if rated is on the talk page, the first parameter should also be set to 1.--JorisEnter (talk) 21:38, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh my fucking God, how did I not make a "Lunch-lady JORIS" joke?! I'm an ass! Reverend Black Percy (talk) 01:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I made the joke now ha ha never mind Reverend Black Percy (talk) 01:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Burning the midnight oil
Hi Joris! I've been missing you on the site. Why are you up so late editing? You're not still on vacation, are you? Everything quite allright m8? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 00:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, came back from vacation last Friday and it's the introduction week for first-year undergrads here in Leiden so I'm kind of busy helping at my fraternity. I'll have a lot more time to edit after this weekend, I hope - but we'll see.--JorisEnter (talk) 00:15, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Fraternity? Drinking or sabre fighting? another Jewish conspiracy by (((Laurogeita Hamabost)))  (talk) 09:37, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Heheh. While Leiden is indeed often stereotyped as "frat boy city" (and not entirely without reason, as the oldest and probably most prestigious (don't tell !) is bound to attract a bunch of elitist pricks), in the Netherlands "fraternity" (or more appropriately ) denotes a whole range of student clubs, including mine (we're essentially a bunch of nerds and book-lovers who like to get together at least once a week to listen to a lecture on some random topic and have a drink afterwards).--JorisEnter (talk) 09:53, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Nice to meat you, can I reach your male?
...by which I mean; nice to meet you, can I reach your mail?

...by which I further mean: if I were to use the "email user" function on this site, mailing via said form, would I reach you on the other end? All the best, Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:33, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Eh, since DG updated the e-mail last month (or the month before that, not entirely sure) this should work (until then 90% of emails simply got stuck somewhere in the system).--JorisEnter (talk) 11:38, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Just gave it a shot. As you can tell from the contents of the email, it's not anything that I'd like to discuss openly for (relatively minor) reasons of privacy. Also, you could reply with a "yes" or a "no" here, since I rarely check my e-mail (but I check everyone's talkpage instantly, lol). Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:16, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The appropriate (though rather late) answer would be "not yet", I guess.--JorisEnter (talk) 10:50, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough! When "it's done", take "the steps I suggested"? (This mysterious exchange is going to be quoted out-of-context by cranks as evidence of Illuminati involvement at RW, I bet!) Reverend Black Percy (talk) 11:13, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Blocked for attempt to correct horrible article.
I attempted to inject truth into the GamerGate article as it is crazy biased against reality. I take it my options are to either write in complete agreement with the article or be blocked and banned, to try to be objective and Rational and get blocked and banned, or to write in the same style as the article but defend a different opinion Rationally and be blocked and banned. The current wiki page is both against community standards and the bronze medal requirements, and the community standards led me to believe that the wiki welcomed content and productive changes. What's going on?

 * Also, I would really like to know how "the current wiki page is both against community standards and the bronze medal requirements" - in fact, the article is currently being considered for silver rating, so if you think you have a case you might want to go over to that talk page.--JorisEnter (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

So does game work or does it not?
If it works, and people are saying it doesn't, then that's a form of denialism. Dr. Carson (talk) 13:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * What is it exactly that you claim works? Reverend Black Percy (talk) 15:59, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it's kinda like when my sister explained why she slept with a guy by saying, "He knew all the things to say to get a woman into bed." She explained why she didn't sleep with another guy by saying, "He was so girl-stupid." I.e., he didn't know what to say/do that would've made her feel more attracted to him.


 * Is the phenomenon she (and many other women) have described, in which one guy is able to get a get laid by saying/doing certain things, while another guy doesn't say/do those things doesn't get laid, real? To say that it doesn't exist, is to be a game denialist.


 * I would have to ask game denialists: if you see one guy who is handsome, has a good job, and is a "nice guy," who behaves respectfully toward women, but can't get laid (even though he'd like to); and then there's a guy who's short, bald, ugly, and works at Taco Bell, and treats women pretty much like shit, but gets laid all the time by attractive women, what is the difference between them, that is causing the first to be celibate, and the second not to be? I don't know how one would answer that question other than to say "game". Everything else, like "being confident" or "making more approaches" is an aspect of game, so falls under that umbrella.
