Intercom[edit]
You learned how, I love you so much right now. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (pretentious, unwarranted self importance) (talk) 02:11, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

- Nono, that was me copy pasting a message i'd typed up on avengers page and then sending 4 requests at once to the server in a masked attempt to make Davids hair whiten. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 02:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- No, that's called Paravant spamming the site. Go under community, above the big Donate button to the left, above blog and twitter and there it is. Only mods can send urgent side wide messages which is the message you got like what, 20 mins ago (my sense of time sucks and I'm not checking RC) that you could mark as read.<-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (pretentious, unwarranted self importance) (talk) 02:37, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Summaries when reverting[edit]
Never figured out how. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (pretentious, unwarranted self importance) (talk) 02:25, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Go to the revision you want to revert to, edit it (it'll warn you that you're editing an old revision), come up with an edit summary, click save. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 02:27, 27 September 42015 AQD (UTC)
- The rollback button provides no opportunity for an edit summary. It is a convenient way to revert obvious wandalism with a single click. If you want to add a summary, use "undo," or do as not-BoN suggests. CamelCasePragmatist (talk) 02:30, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Mona's instigating[edit]
She's made it clear she thinks Arisboch is irredeemable, yet still left that message. Why? To rant? To antagonize him? Right when tensions are flaring? She suggests that he is a toddler when her behavior is extremely puerile. If Arisboch has not seen it already, when he sees it tomorrow what will it do? Will it calm him down? Will it complement your advice to "cool it"? You've protected it for now but are you going to allow her to continue this aggravation? Note, this was not intended to be replied to by anyone but Paravant, and it seems Mona has left us for the night. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (pretentious, unwarranted self importance) (talk) 04:33, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- All i can hope is that Arisboch will not keep the cycle going at this point. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 04:36, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Pat on the back[edit]
Congratulations, Paravant/Archive2!

Believe it or not, you're actually doing about as a good a job as can be expected moderating that Zionism shitfest fight. So, I figured, I dust off an old custom I started a long time ago to show appreciation. Gooniepunk (talk) 19:49, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
You should lose your mod powers[edit]
And I said as much in the coop case. De-sysoping Arisboch was the last straw that broke the camel's back. All your whining that you don't have an agenda and only want to resolve a conflict has now been exposed as just so much hypocrisy. This is just a heads-up and probably the last nice thing I will ever do for you. Bad day, bad sir. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 20:40, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- I do have an agenda, You are correct. It is to see something besides you and mona et al in an endless back and forth. As I said many moons ago when this nonsense started, that will end up with one oarty getting the short end of the stick. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 21:31, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Coop[edit]
You've been cooped by Avenger. <-𐌈FedoraTippingSkeptic𐌈-> (pretentious, unwarranted self importance) (talk) 20:41, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- Are you able to read the section immediately above this one? Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 20:59, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

- He'll click on the link to the coop (unless of course he hasn't bookmarked it already) and he'll thaen find the appropriate section in the table of contents anyway. Way to make a mountain out of a molehill... Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 21:29, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

My rebuke[edit]
Was it in response to Talk:Israel or Talk:God helmet? I understand I'm probably doing something wrong, so please let me know what I should correct.KrytenKoro (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- I wouldn't take it as a "rebuke." I've only been a user here since mid-August and unwittingly committed some infractions in the first few weeks. (And now that I've been sysoped I still have to learn the proper manner in which to exercise this "power.") I've read the policy/rules stuff and do recommend doing that, but really watching the reasonable users is a good way to learn. Parvant is reasonable (which isn't to say I always agree with him).---Mona- (talk) 21:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Adding: You didn't do anything wrong on the talk Israel page. But in the GodHelmet talk you made suggestions showing you don't grok the process for deleting articles. It has to be nominated for deletion (usually). ---Mona- (talk) 21:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- My guess would be Talk:God helmet. Don't worry though, you haven't committed any major infractions. ;) 142.124.55.236 (talk) 21:31, 1 October 42015 AQD (UTC)

Vandal binning issue[edit]
Hey, please check the FR for the Whataboutism article, and its talk page for the full explanation of what went on. Aging Hippie was adamant on my talk page that the VB is the appropriate tool for those who abuse the revert function, so I VBed both Arisboch and Avenger. No one has objected except those two, but I'd really like to know what your take is. Arisboch accessed his talk page with another account and defends his actions. At this point I'm thinking 2 days.---Mona- (talk) 18:24, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm ok with it for the moment. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 18:28, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ok. I'm acutely aware that: 1. I'm new at this, and 2. there is much antagonism between myself and those two. So I felt a little wobbly, especially about any perception that I was wrongly motivated.---Mona- (talk) 18:31, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- avenger causes enough issues to go in it, aris I sTill have faith in so him being in it is a bit more troublesome to me. If nothing else it makes my life easier while I'm at work. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 18:37, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- There's nothing left to persuade Arisboch not to do this shit except the VB. He defends his behavior today, so -- especially in light of his recent history -- I don't see what else can reasonably be done. ---Mona- (talk) 18:44, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- How about me not restoring this edit without getting a consensus on the talk page?--Arisboch ☞✍☜☞✉☜ 19:01, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- That doesn't cure the behavior. You've done it before and today did it again. You don't seem capable of learning not to do this shit in the first (and gazillionth) instance.---Mona- (talk) 19:03, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

- I'm utterly sick and tired of having to dedicate time to dealing with both of them when they persist in doing this shit. They don't care, either of them, about the burden his crap creates for other users. If there are no consequences that inconvenience them it will never stop.---Mona- (talk) 19:24, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

So I've not been around as much lately as before...[edit]
When exactly did we go from being Gamergatewiki to MideastCrisis wiki? I mean, whatever happened to GenderWiki? Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 19:31, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- I arrived in mid-August (and not to deal with this topic but to draft an anti-woo piece on "Targeted Individuals"). When I did, I was informed by a user (not involved here) that it is not possible to make edits at RW that are not approved by "those who think Israel is great." That seemed to be the case. The Zionism article was utter shit -- unsourced, pro-Zionist assertions that simply could not be altered in any significant manner and trying to resulted in edit warring. A compromise was called for, e.g., one user (also not involved here) suggested bifurcating the article as is done on the "Morality of abortion" page so both sides could set forth their versions. Avenger and Arisboch refused that and said they'd still revert any edits they didn't like. Time went on, I aggressively insisted on not allowing this lock held by (mostly) two users to continue, and others also persisted in trying to make reasonable, sourced edits on Israel-related articles. These two went batshit. They got de-sysoped, and then today, vandal binned---Mona- (talk) 19:43, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Don't take this personally, Mona, but I am not at all interested in your wiki-drama. I basically wanted to touch base with Miekal about how, yet again, RW has seen itself hijacked by single-issue voters who have latched onto stuff that some would argue is not closely tierd to the core mission to create a lot of work for community regulars and generally make the site Less Fun. It's happened before, and, once you move on and are forgotten, it will happen again. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 19:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- the great late 2015 Zionism war, fun times. Not sure when it started but I've been trying my hardest to get an end too it.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 19:52, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

- It basically started when this IP joined and started spewing pro-Israel propaganda and random accusations of antisemitism. Then Arisboch joined in and started subtly whitewashing Zionism-related content. The IP created an account and around that time Mona joined. Much editing, discussion, drama and animosity ensued. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 20:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Excuse me, AH, but this is not "wiki drama," and I am not going anywhere. I've been a moderator at various fora and I know unreasonable and disruptive behavior when I see it. Two users (mostly just those two, and one arrived just before I did) were keeping other users from editing anything Israel-related. This was being allowed by the sysops, and should not have been. If this eruption disturbs your nostalgia for a RW Golden Age, I am very sorry, but I've done nothing wrong. Dismissing the bullshit the Zio-trolls were being allowed to commit here as "wiki drama" is both unfair and unhelpful.---Mona- (talk) 20:07, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
It really does seem to be a wikidrama (perhaps better called a storm in a teacup). And as for all dramas you need antagonists and protagonists. Neither has been in short supply. That you have been a moderator in various fora is neither here nor there. It's just as anecdotal as things you've dismissed out of hand. Cheers. Sorte Slyngel (talk) 21:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- The subject in part was me and my purported "drama." My history of having been chosen for moderation duties, and knowing what reasonable behavior is, is relevant. It's a fact about me when the subject is me. Moreover, you are committing the balance fallacy. My behavior, and that of the other Israel critics, has not been akin to Avenger's and Arisboch's. They dislike knowledgeable edits by people who have facts, including ChrisAmiss. So they petulantly disrupt the place.---Mona- (talk) 21:42, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Drama is still Drama, regardless of whether one side is right. Tht you have Moderator prowess does not exclude you from Drama, oh, the history of the initial Mods...--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 21:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Your history might be relevant, but how are we supposed to know? You've dismissed personal stories as anecdotal before. The same applies to you. Cheers Sorte Slyngel (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, I dismiss anecdotes when they are supposed to prove a larger fact about the world. As our entry here says: "anecdotes only ever apply to individuals or individual experiences." Exactly. I did not commit the anecdotal fallacy because I restricted the anecdote about me to me. By your standard, every time a person explains things they have done they have committed a fallacy, which is utterly absurd.---Mona- (talk) 23:50, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- That's not unreasonable in itself, but why should we believe you? You say you've moderated fora. Let's take that for granted, but it says nothing about how you moderated or if you moderated in any real sense at all. Cheers Sorte Slyngel (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Blocking v vandal binning[edit]
Not a criticism, I just want to understand for myself why you chose blocking rather than VB for that Gideon guy? Is it because you thought even every 30 minutes he'd still keep doing that stuff?---Mona- (talk) 13:41, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- Pure Choice really - Vandal binning would have also worked but a good 3 day pi ban also sends the message of "stop being an idiot". Neither is likely to be very effective, however, sinc they were doing this a week or so ago. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 14:17, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- Another question(s). How does one release a new account from patrolled status, and where is that template thingie to announce it?---Mona- (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Viewing user contributions, you will see a tab for user rights management. Check the "autopatrolled" box, save, and BAM! it is done. Announcing it is unnecessary officious chatter, in my opinion. Alec Sanderson (talk) 15:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

And was the comment directed at you or me? Both are possible. In any case, I try not to follow controversial topics on RW as is, but I do take a look every now and then.

Hittite population?[edit]
Some old guy I know keeps trying to tell me that the Hittite empire consisted of about eight hundred people. Or maybe eight thousand, depending on which day I'm talking to him. (He likes to keep his mind active by watching TED talks and listening to thregreatcourses.com lectures.) Casual perusal of the WP article gave me no joy. Is that anything you could point me towards an online source about? Alec Sanderson (talk) 16:30, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

- Thanks. Not surprising that we don't know. Every time I ask my friend about the sources for his dramatic assertions he gets vague, or hides behind the forgetfulness of great age. Oh, well, he can be entertaining sometimes. I wonder if they could have been talking about the size of the group that first came to Anatolia from wherever, before blossoming into a dominant force in the region... thanks again, Alec Sanderson (talk) 12:23, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

WTF?[edit]
So, one guy has to have all this documentation. But no one else does? How does that work?---Mona- (talk) 00:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- No, but if we want to start a fight against unsourced statements, letting people keep adding them in is not how we're going to do it, nor is just removing -all- of them. Neither is throwing a hissy fit and locking a page to sysop against another sysop. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 00:07, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
I didn't know he was a sysop. I recalled him as new. Anyway, I was greatly frustrated to see my frequent method of getting some sourcing being undermined. Altho I think the edits per se are plausible and may be true, they should be sourced. I just picked that one about Castro as a place to continue (I've been running around to articles asking for citations, and deleting when after a bit they don't show up; not if they do) in one of MANY articles here that urgently need support.
And, my pique with you and sense that things were not running fairly was aroused when you failed to argue for protecting pages when I was going around about that with AH. But then almost immediately you protect pages for the same reason I was. And that's ok.
Then you reinstate AH's countermand of my brief Avenger block. THEN you meddle with my attempt to get some sourcing. (There is no "RW way to source." It's all ad hoc here. But I'm trying to get some fucking documentation going because it is fucking important if this place isn't to be a fucking embarrassment.) It makes no sense to refuse a plausible edit for being unsourced when most of the article is that way, including the version Arisboch was reverting in favor of. That GH1900, or whatever his handle is, fought for his edit and may be willing to work to find sourcing.
All in all, it seems like Paravant and AH get it their way, even if their ways are entirely inconsistent. Only others have to abide by what is decreed. Just as only some editors must source or face being reverted -- even when an editor is specifically working to get them to source! I admit it: I'm pissed off and frustrated. This ain't no way to run a railroad.---Mona- (talk) 03:07, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- I've not seen you complain much about me forcing a decision down when it worked in your favor. Just as Avenger and Aris only started to really complain when I decided they were the wrong party, not you. I don't like the edit because it puts to much emphasis and blame on a blockade only we follow, although we have pressured other nations at times, and not enough on the fact that Cuba, like NK, were heavily reliant on Soviet trading and investments which vanished after '91, as well as the general problems central planning cause. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:13, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- And I undid the block because I didn't feel a day was a good starting point, it's always better to start with low blocks and work/double our way up, not start with the hammer first and see what happens next, even with people like Avenger, because it shows we both tried and that they truly deserve the block. Plus if you want to actually punish Avenger here, starting low is going to work better than high. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:15, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
"I've not seen you complain much about me forcing a decision down when it worked in your favor" This isn't about "forcing a decision." It's about inconsistent standards. Here, I saw you seeming to support AH as against my position on protecting articles. Then, lo, you protect two. As for the 1 day block, that is a low block. I would never parole someone blocked by another sysop without discussing it with them first, unless that sysop had just gone over the cliff into unreasonable all over the place. And I generally take the view that if you or another sysop does something like that I should defer absent blatant abuse. But anyway, the edit that got this started needs sourcing, but I was and am trying to get that. The claims seems plausible, but like so much already there it does need sourcing.---Mona- (talk) 03:45, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- On Rationalwiki, blue is orange and a one day block is a very long time, it's just the culture here. And part of why I tried to stick you off from fights with AH is because I know better, he may not be Nutty and go off on a rage with his powers if he doesn't like you, but a fight with him isstill something to be avoided. It had nothing to do with my opinion of which of you is correct--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:52, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I will not post in that "forum." I will continue in the general world section, including on anything related to Israel-Palestine. You might think about why Avenger wants the topic moved.---Mona- (talk) 15:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

- Controversial or long winded topics in omnibus talk pages (like wigo talk or the saloon bar) have been moved to their own fora in the past.

Brony did strike me as pretty weird, but so is fantasy fiction to many. Anyway, if there are going to be insinuations of pedophilia and such there absolutely has to be rock-solid documentation.

- Ryulong, where do you get your MLP information to harbor so much hate?
- Nowhere does it say that, given its talking about moments where it does, fails to really cover one and actually discusses death in a kid friendly way.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:20, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's a lot of effort to say "it's not like all those other shows".—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:14, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- It gives a brief overview of the basic premise of the show and then mentions how it avoids the trap of childrens television of special episodes which we even have an ARTICLE on. Hardly fluff. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:12, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- There does not need to be an 8 sentence description of the plot of a show for little girls but now loved by adult men.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 03:10, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- Fluff, such as a relevant quote about the nature of the show and a mention of how it's generally tried to avoid special episodes but does at times do them. This is an article about MLP, not Bronies.--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:09, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the page protection on the Israel article. I was ill at the thought of cooping Sorte because those things are just a shitfest and I'm still weary from the last one about Ryu. I didn't know what to do, and I feel at least as strongly about this as you do about Ryo's reverts on the MLP page. Sorte's really pissed that his Zionist faction doesn't prevail here and this seems to be some sort of "Here I stand I can do no other" moment for him.---Mona- (talk) 23:21, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- You were weary of the coop because you fear you might lose. After all, what you intend to do is whitewash a notable Antisemite and Nazi-collaborator.. Avengerofthe BoN (talk) 17:06, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- You and Arisboch have both let your unhinged, fact-free Zionism get you patrolled as well as de-mopped. Sorte was on his way to the same.---Mona- (talk) 17:17, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Avenger, "weary" means "tired," as correctly used by Mona just above. The word you seek is "wary," which means "cautious" or "circumspect." Please no wild-eyed accusations of grammar nazism from anyone else here; Avenger has brought this upon himself. In my opinion, he needs to read more and post less, especially in conversations that do not benefit from his input. SmartFeller (talk) 17:28, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Stop modlocking the page every time I introduce criticism of Bronies.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:12, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

- I made two edits. How the fuck is that edit warring? Adding criticism of Bronies is not a massive tone shift.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 22:42, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

- I put forward possible citations to support my statements about appropriation. I have a source pointing out the issues of ableism. The page no longer has any of the content you're complaining about and I have no present intention to add anything to that respect. Presently, I want the sentence saying that being a Brony doesn't carry the same stigma as revealing one's non-conforming sexuality or gender identity and the citation criticizing the documentaries as not featuring any criticism and even going out of their way to omit criticism that appeared in an unscripted moment. The demands for stronger sourcing on this topic is gatekeeping.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 23:08, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

- One shitty DeviantArt post of some kid's sociology paper that has "moral panic" mentioned once is not me introducing a moral panic. There's valid criticism out there from sources just as valid as that deviantart essay that raise the concerns that I've put on the page.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 23:08, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Are you going to drop the modlock yet?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 02:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- No. There are serious complaints about your edits to the article and thus You need to actually sell them first. All the more because your edits are attaching such strong statement as pedophile horse fyckers. --"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 03:26, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- The constant complaints you have concern edits I haven't tried to introduce to the page in 3 days. Grow a thicker skin because this behavior is really stereotypical of the fandom's defensive nature. Right now the content I want to introduce concerns how liking a show doesn't mean a group is inherently persecuted and adding back the sentence mentioning how one of the documentaries went out of its way to avoid including negative criticism.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 13:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's also hard for you or anyone else to actually address the changes I would like to make when you constantly ignore any thing I said to that respect and instead take offense at things I did not explicitly say. I've repeatedly provided sources for content I wish to add, including this blog editorial hosted by a major newspaper but no one will bother acknowledging it because fighting you on this matter has poisoned the well to the extent that I may as well just fucking quit this website and swear off all wiki communities for being the toxic shitholes that they end up being.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 13:25, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- I assure you that it was not me who poisoned your well but you yourself when you took your combatice gg policy to talking about how people who violate social norms are never attacked for that, just the fandom I guess all brony haters know all details about. Sell your edits before you make them because enough actual rw users are calling bullshit to be notable. & you have userspace to show them in, that you refuse to use it is not our fault--"Paravant" Talk & Contribs 14:17, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
AgingHippie wants to give Avenger his mop[edit]
It's in the coop. He told me a few weeks ago: "Mona, this is how it works here. If someone is edit-warring, bin them, and undo their edits as needed. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 08:32, 4 October 2015 (UTC)," but now says that I should not VB for edit warring.
I know you two are pals, but I don't know what to do. AH hates my presence here, and is siding with AVENGER prolly just because of my animosity toward Avenger. It's just insane to unleash Avenger as a sysop to get at me. ---Mona- (talk) 00:18, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

You should probably do one of three things.[edit]
Get rid of the mod-level protection on that page about the cartoon, since we only have two active mods; institute a process to get more mods; institute a process to get rid of the mods altogether. The status quo is not really ideal. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 17:51, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
