Northern mockingbird

The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is a species of mockingbird, in the family Mimidae, commonly found in North America. The species is also found in some parts of the Caribbean, as well as on the Hawaiian Islands. It is typically a permanent resident across much of its range, but northern mockingbirds may move further south during inclement weather or prior to the onset of winter. The northern mockingbird has gray to brown upper feathers and a paler belly. Its tail and wings have white patches which are visible in flight. The species is known for its ability to mimic bird calls and other types of sound, including artificial and electronic noises. This northern mockingbird was photographed in Bay Ridge, a neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

Commons open letter

The link to the open letter at Commons mentioned at Wales' talk page may be mislinked. It presently goes here. Thanks for bringing up the topic, and wondering exactly how much funding would be needed to accomplish everything Commons is asking for. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:58, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Oops! Fixed now. Thanks, Randy Kryn. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Removal of sourced information

Why did you remove information in the article? Donald J. Harris is known as an economist who is influenced by post-Keynesian economics and Marxist economics. None of those terms are slurs or POV-pushing.

Multiple reliable sources describe him as a "post-Keynesian scholar", "Marxist scholar", and a "heterodox economist" who is "influenced by Marxism and post-Keynesian thought". I'm confused on why you deleted it. KlayCax (talk) 00:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Marxism is additionally not an insult, as you are suggesting, but a way of interpreting economics and the relation between capital and labor. KlayCax (talk) 00:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
You edited her father's article, adding "Marxian economist" to the very first sentence citing a paper he wrote on Marxian economics. Writing a paper about a subject is not sufficient to highlight one descriptor above all else. That it was immediately after wedging "Marxist" (not even "Marxian") into the lead of Kamala Harris biography betrays an obvious POV. Regarding "it's not an insult", I do not believe that you do not know one of our two political parties has been casting anything related to Marx as bogeymen and then, of course, trying to cast opponents as Marxist. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 00:56, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Responded on the article's talk page. But your argument seems to be that we should dumb or remove information from the article because some people are idiots. That's something we shouldn't do.
I also added that they weren't close together + don't talk + have a frictional relationship. KlayCax (talk) 02:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Hmm

I just looked at your list of things you listen to--I'm very ignorant. Anyway, I had two questions for you. First, your block log is clean: would you like for me to change that? Just for the hell of it? It's like a cool scar. Second, can I vote you in for ArbCom or something like that? Change of pace! Drmies (talk) 17:31, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

@Drmies: #What_I_should_be_listening_to_(and_what_you're_listening_to) awaits you. Also I didn't realize I hadn't updated that section in a year. I mean really, at this stage, just the fact that I'm aware of any music from the last 5-10 years is kind of a miracle. :)
As for your questions, thanks for the offer but I think I'll go ahead and pass on both scars. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:31, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
