Impressive

You've read lots of books written by all these pundits and wingnuts. I must say I'm impressed. GeeJayK^{Where all evil dwells} _{Where every lie is true} 01:15, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks man.user:Ephrom

Good lord, you really have read some pieces of shit. Thanks for making articles on them, because I didn't have the pain tolerance to even get past a chapter of one of my dad's Ann Coulter books. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 18:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

We're gonna have to make a "dumpster diving" award for you. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 18:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

I was looking for "America's Shaman" references for the Q Shaman article and found an "exclusive interview" with OANN. I'm not gonna sit through an hour of that shit, lord only knows how you do so. Carthage (talk) 18:28, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Peace. 🐐 - Rairyu75 (Talk) 15:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, do you mean like this?--Ephrom (talk) 16:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

What's Fair: And Other Short Stories deletion

Someone wanted to let you know that they think What's Fair: And Other Short Stories, a page you created, should be deleted, arguing that "This is a work of fiction. RationalWiki is not GoodReads." Please discuss this assassination attempt on this article's entry on What's Fair: And Other Short Stories's Articles for deletion page if you wish to defend your creation.

Citations

Why don't you add the publication to your citations? All you give us is a hyperlinked title, and we have no idea where it came from without having to hover over it. That's not a proper citation. And I have low standards too, just a title and a publication. You can also just drop the URL into https://citer.toolforge.org/ Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about this, I apologize.--Ephrom (talk) 22:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Nah, it's cool. I don't mean to bite you head off or anything, but I do get kinda emphatic about citations. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons

Things like election maps and public-domain photographs (which should include images of pretty much any pre-depression US politician) are already on Wikimedia Commons, and you can use them by just linking to the filename rather than having to upload anything. Plutocow (talk) 06:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Until Commons deletes the file, anyway. Sometimes it's more prudent to cut the middleperson out. Carthage (talk) 06:26, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

These are election maps created by users. They almost certainly won’t get deleted. And they certainly look better than low pixel uploads with another website’s logo attached. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 12:47, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know.--Ephrom (talk) 12:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

On the board's board

So now you're on the board. We currently hold our meetings on RationalWiki Support Chat Discord, on #board-of-trustees. (To do: Schedule another one sometime soon-ish.) I searched for your name 'ephromjosine' but didn't find anything on this Discord server. If you join up there, @Techpriest or someone else with moderation powers can set you up to access the board's board. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 20:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Done.--Ephrom (talk) 15:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
