WikiWoke
Hi. Thank you for being so WikiWoke. I really appreciate your analysis, conclusions, and words today.
For me, I slept through it. Having fun! Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 23:14, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Checkingfax: "WikiWoke" is a first for me. :) No problem. I get frustrated with how willing some people are to throw kerosene -- and how quickly -- on dedicated Wikipedians who find themselves the subject of a thread at ANI. Anyway. It was a good time to get some shut-eye. :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:03, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- I apologise if I inadvertently caused a lynch mob to turn up, simply by trying to follow due process :-/ Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Ritchie333: Nobody expects the Wiki Inquisition! I do suspect characterizing it as libelous is precisely what led to someone else connecting it to "vindictive and retaliatory behavior" and to call it a "a borderline or passive-aggressive attack page" which is just utter nonsense (but, at ANI, early commenters color the discussion). That response isn't on you, of course, and there were some valid arguments elsewhere in the discussion but ... meh, I don't really want to belabor this. ANI just stinks sometimes and is best avoided if possible IMO. I imagine a message on Checkingfax's page rather than ANI would've resulted in something like "oh. jim requested it be deleted? fine with me." — Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:54, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Help with publishing Honeywell list
I'm reposting from here for visibility. I revised this draft further per your suggestions, which I thought were all sound. I've incorporated everything from the existing section of the main article, and the intent is to replace that content with a main article link to this newly-created standalone list article. Does that help clarify things? If you agree this is a suitable draft for an article, could you publish it?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 22:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
- @FacultiesIntact: FYI any time you post to another user's talk page, it creates a notification/email, so pinging doesn't have any added functionality (the purpose of the ping template is to create a notification). Sorry to say I don't have time to give this a careful re-review/publish in the immediate future. My suggestion would be to send it through the WP:AFC process, through which you'll get some additional feedback from an experienced editor who will either move it for you or give an explicit go-ahead. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 23:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Notice
You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Creationism and NPOV and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.
Thanks, funplussmart (talk) 22:17, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- How exciting. First time named in an arbcom case request. :) Methinks it'll be speedily declined, though. Typically something like this only goes to ArbCom when the community has tried and failed to deal with it multiple times. There are still lots of things that can happen here, up to and including AE. Left a message there saying as much. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:32, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Pan Ron - Knyom Mun Sok Jet Te - Cambodian Rocks (sample).ogg
Thank you for uploading File:Pan Ron - Knyom Mun Sok Jet Te - Cambodian Rocks (sample).ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
