User:Buster7/Favorites
{{subst:REVISIONUSER}} has given you some Nice Koekjes which promote fellowship, goodwill and WikiLove. Hopefully this one has made your day better. You can spread the good flavor of Nice Koekjes around Wiki World by giving someone else one. Maybe to a friend or, better yet, to someone you have had disagreements with in the past. Nice Koekjes are very tasty and have been known to be so NICE, they will even bake themselves. Enjoy!

Tautology
[edit]I just edited an article with the phrase "concluded with conclusions". As I filled in the edit summary, I wondered what the term for that type of 'dancing of words' is called. Its not an Oxymoron. But something like that. Buster Seven Talk 21:42, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I am User:Buster7. I've been asked to provide you some assistance during your beginning experience on Wikipedia. Your enthusiasm to be part of a well known growing online encyclopedia is much appreciated! I would like to have conversation with you, get feedback from you, and just go over a few things first before we start to edit. Please seek me out at my talkpage at User Talk:Buster7 at anytime, for any reason. Just to reiterate, please do not edit until we get a chance to talk.

Nice to meet you. I see you recently signed on as a new member of the Editor Retention Project. The future of the Editor of the Week portion of the Project depends on nominations.

At a recent RfA a term was used to descibe editors that fix or "polish" articles that have been left behind by COI editors---Turd Polisher. It was not meant as a derogatory or slanderous term as it relates to the polisher. The malapropism, turd, is used to describe the article that was left behind to rot in the field like last years potato crop. Buster Seven Talk 14:23, 10 April 2016 (UTC) |

Its large capsule protects the organism from attack. I know I should comment at the places of attack but it is so exhausting to deal with prevaricators.

- There is consensus that Fox News is generally reliable for news coverage on topics other than politics and science. See also: Fox News (politics and science), Fox News (talk shows).
- Editors perceive Fox News to be biased or opinionated for politics; use in-text attribution for opinions. See also: Fox News (news excluding politics and science), Fox News (talk shows).
- Fox News talk shows, including Hannity, Tucker Carlson Tonight, The Ingraham Angle, and Fox & Friends, should not be used for statements of fact but can sometimes be used for attributed opinions. See also: Fox News (news excluding politics and science), Fox News (politics and science).

Fair Witness
[edit]Fair Witness is a fictional profession invented for the novel Stranger in a Strange Land. A Fair Witness is an individual trained to observe events and report exactly what he or she sees and hears, making no extrapolations or assumptions. An eidetic memory is a prerequisite for the job, although this may be attainable with suitable training.
In Heinlein's society, a Fair Witness is a highly reputable source of information. By custom, a Fair Witness, acting professionally (generally wearing distinctive white robes), is never addressed directly and is never acknowledged by anyone present.
Fair Witnesses are prohibited from drawing conclusions about what they observe. As a demonstration, a characer in the novel is asked to describe the color of a house in the distance. Response:"It is white on this side" explaining no assumption can be made about the color of the other sides of the house without being able to see them. Furthermore, after observing another side of the house a Fair Witness would not then assume that any previously seen side was still the same color as last reported, even if only minutes before.
Descriptions for EotW
[edit]- By far the most of my edits are "janitorial" though, fixing broken links, sorting stubs and categories, the occasional wikifying of new articles. Lately He has been focusing on image related things, tagging images that lack sources, confirmation of license from 3. parties non-compliance with the non-free content policy and stuff like that.

- _______ began contributing to Wikipedia in 20--. After a few years of vandal fighting, discussing AFD's, patrolling new pages, and assisting new editors, he took an extensive leave of absence. He returned to Wikipedia to resume where he left off. his goal is to continuously apply the knowledge and experience I've gained throughout my life in order to help improve Wikipedia and educate our reader.

- EotW celebrates Wikipedia editors who are making significant contribution to the health and welfare of Wikipedia. I nominate User:__________ for his/her significant contributions to articles on _______ and ____________.
- From his/her userpage it looks like they just started editing in ____, but already they have created dozens of beautiful, important new articles.
- I nominate John from Idegon as Editor of the Week. He remarkably has made over 96,000 edits, steadily active since 2012 and averaging 35 edits per day. He is active as a new page reviewer and at the [[Wikipedia Teahouse]. He is a long serving member at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools and was a major participant at the creation of Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention. I often see him around Wikipedia, making helpful edits at school articles (with more experience on US school articles than probably any other WP editor) or reporting problems with new pages. I always get a chuckle out of his clever name - combining Idaho and Oregon. One of WP's most active editors (#617 on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits), John has had many years of high quality contributions, with varied interests and pursuits. His diplomatic ability has been honed on the talk pages of hundreds of articles, and in pursuit of creating a healthy workplace for fellow editors. I feel it is high time for him to be recognized for his outstanding contributions here. --MelanieN

[edit]Chronology of the Netherlands
[edit]- Habsburg Netherlands is the collective name of Holy Roman Empire fiefs in the Low Countries held by the House of Habsburg. The rule began in 1482, when after the death of the Valois-Burgundy duke Charles the Bold the Burgundian Netherlands fell to the Habsburg dynasty by the marriage of Charles's daughter Mary of Burgundy to Archduke Maximilian I of Austria. Then known as Seventeen Provinces, they were held by Habsburg Spain from 1556, and are therefore also known as the Spanish Netherlands from that time on. In 1581, the Seven United Provinces seceded to form the Dutch Republic; the remaining Spanish Southern Netherlands eventually passed on to Habsburg Austria. Finally the Austrian Netherlands were annexed by the French First Republic in 1795.
- The Southern Netherlands, also called the Catholic Netherlands, were the part of the Low Countries controlled by Spain (1556–1714 aka Spanish Netherlands), later Austria (1714–94 aka Austrian Netherlands), and annexed by France (1794–1815 aka the French period). In 1815 it was reunited with the Dutch provinces to form the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and then became the independent country of Belgium in 1830 Belgian Revolution.
