A little gift for you and Uncle G

William Roberts house San Lorenzo, California

Here is a photo I took today of the 1859 house we discussed recently with Uncle G. It is a jewel in an otherwise dreary neighborhood. There are freeway ramps soaring overhead across the street, above a veterinary hospital. There is a company that sells pool tables close by. In the other direction, a Wal-Mart, an In-N-Out Burger, and a Seven-11. Plus freeway exits and very heavy traffic. The house is very well maintained with pretty gardens and is now the offices of a self-storage company. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:25, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Clyde Foster

On 16 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Clyde Foster, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Clyde Foster (pictured), a mathematician with NASA, persuaded former Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun to support a computer science program at historically black Alabama A&M University? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Clyde Foster. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Clyde Foster), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you for another good one. Reminded me also of this pic I took. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really glad Foster got the picture slot! Thanks, Yoninah, for selecting it, and Valereee, for the crop job. (I just wish it could have run for a full 24 hours rather than the recently-changed-to 12.) BTW, Doc, did you ever hear from his niece? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:46, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yep--I appreciate everyone's help, especially my Uncle's, for the expansion. No, I emailed her but didn't hear back, and I can't advertise it on Facebook since I somehow earned myself a 30-day block... Drmies (talk) 00:32, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

естьдоктор is trying to blame me again. Whereas it is actually Aymatth2 (talk · contribs) that is writing about Spanish hills such as Sierra de Tejeda. Uncle G (talk) 00:48, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey you can make up for a bunch of things--help me out with The 1619 Project. I don't have access to this or the NYT article. Drmies (talk) 00:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • It comes up as a blank page for me. I keep telling people that I do not have access to this Tex-Mex Lexus stuff like others do. This will not gain you youth cred, Doktoro. Uncle G (talk) 01:58, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, Proposed United States purchase of Greenland (AfD discussion) has now highlighted Gustav Rasmussen [de], who is not a hill in Spain. But who, according to history books rejected the U.S. memorandum of 1947, saying that Denmark did not "owe them [the United States] the whole island of Greenland", even though newspapers do not appear to have picked up on this fact.

DYK nomination of Cueva de Bolomor

Hello! Your submission of Cueva de Bolomor at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! GirthSummit (blether) 18:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just for clarity (I haven't used this template before) - the only issue is the missing QPQ, everything else looks good. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 18:19, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wondering ...... [note: every time I type an ellipsis, I hear Stephen Colbert's voice in my head saying "dot, dot, dot"] ...... why it's "Cueva de", when the Official Site uses "Cova del"? Now, I could use a frozen margarita ... where's my Cuervo? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:37, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote the article, or started it, before I saw the website. I probably borrowed the name from List of Neanderthal sites, and a lot of the sources have "Bolomor Cave" (or "Bolomor cave") anyway. I don't mind it being moved to one or the other. But Mandarax, while I was working on this I learned about Valencian (well, I learned that it exists), and that may be what's happening here--I saw some varieties in other articles. Oh, one more thing: the "Cuervo" variety at Aldi seems to be pretty decent. Drmies (talk) 01:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't matter to me ... was just curious. I had wondered about the Valencian possibility too, but the official site's Spanish and Valencian options both use "Cova del Bolomor". I'm far from a tequila aficionado; I generally see it as nasty stuff unless it's magically transformed into a delicious margarita. The one exception was many years ago when I had some, I believe, Centenario, which I might describe as sipping tequila; I could actually consume it straight without retching. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 01:55, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Shoot, "Cuervo"--now I get it. Ha, I was thinking of Mexican lager. I do like tequila, BTW--but yeah, the good stuff is really good (there's a very decent reposado at the local liquor store, the one that caters to the local restaurants), and the cheap stuff should not be sipped. I got a bottle of The Famous Grouse for my birthday, which is about the top of the range we can afford, haha. You're welcome to some, you know that--anytime you want to come to Alabama. Drmies (talk) 02:14, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the invitation. But be careful ... I may just take you up on it some day.
In other news ... sometimes I find myself inexplicably drawn into reading a discussion, and I don't know how I got there or why, and I start wondering why I'm wasting my time reading all of this stuff I don't really care about. But then today I noticed that you'd thrown in a "litterally", and it made it all worthwhile! MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 08:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nikola Tesla

He is born in Croatia, and his mother was Croatian. Entire familiy is born in Triune Kingdom of Croatia. [1] [] []. Bye.-- Uspjeh je ključ života (talk) 16:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted this request - FlightTime (open channel) 16:46, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:Uspjeh je ključ života, I don't care. It's a matter that has been discussed to death--if you had looked at the talk page you could have seen that; if you had studied history, you could have guessed that. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 16:48, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Uspjeh je ključ života:, Tesla's ethnicity has been discussed so much over time that there is a sub-page off the article Talk page here: Talk:Nikola_Tesla/Nationality and ethnicity. Discussion in the archives goes back 10 years. I recomend you read that sub-page, including the archives, and that you post further there if you want to participate in the discussion. Geoff | Who, me? 20:44, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Geoff, I left that link on their talk page too. I hope they use it. BTW it would be handy if there was a clear link to a clear RfC/Consensus there... Drmies (talk) 21:05, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FlightTime, I don't know--I don't see a lot of that Serbo-Croatian stuff in the recent history. The recently-reverted batches of edits appear to be good-faith efforts. Drmies (talk) 16:49, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I need advice.

Please see my talk. I will need to rename.-- Dlohcierekim 04:14, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of a mess

Koji Nakano (composer)

Thank you for asking, but no idea what to do with a 2011 unsourced IP creation. I had hoped it was new, and we could talk to the creator about formatting and need for sources. I couldn't tell if there's something in Japanese. Perhaps Narutolovehinata5 could find sources for a borderline notable person, described in flowery language, - copied? Next step: WP:COMPOSERS. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:01, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
End of here, turn to talk WP:Classical music, article in Japanese was deleted. Sorry for another ping to 2 people, Narutolovehinata5. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: Just the person I wanted to talk to. See Julia Fischer, a German violinist. The other day we were comparing versions of the first movement of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto on YouTube. Hers was quite good, so I looked at her article. It's pretty messy. Needs more than just removal/softening of the promotional material. It badly needs reorganization as much of it overlaps (repetitious) and I don't think needs as many separate sections. I could do it, but I was hoping... --Bbb23 (talk) 18:12, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
next year perhaps ... - writing an FA, much slower than I hoped it would grow, look for the green icon on top of my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for El Salt

On 22 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article El Salt, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Re: Richard S

If he doesn't want to be called something, even though he is something, we can't call him that? That's not what I said/meant. My point was that if he identified as such, then it would be different/cleaner. I wasn't implying that we can't call a racist a racist even if he doesn't call himself a racist. Have a good day!

Frawd Der

An editor has suggested that this be merged into List of fictional characters who inhabit Drmies' user talk page (Discuss)

Frawd Der is a comedy pastiche of Drmies with much the same characters: a Last Human instead of a last Time Lord who has adventures in space and time with a hologram of a dead person, an android, and a comedy sidekick; although some of this xe gets wrong, or at least Backwards, and much of the humour is toilet humour.

Previously, xe was known as Doctorhoo, but the writers of Drmies threatened xem with a copyright infringement action, not least because those are the colours of the scarf. Fearful that Auntie would set Uncle Walt onto xem, xe rapidly changed xyr name. Originally, xe wanted der Office, but apparently that is already a knock-off. So after realizing that Der Frawd may still be a copyright problem xe picked Frawd Der, in the knowledge that if it is Backwards it cannot be copyright infringement, or at least cannot be found by that copyright violation detecting 'bot, and is thus quite safe. It is, after all, rightcopy that way.

However, there are dangers of Backwards toilet humour, as the comedy sidekick discovered.

Zaphod Gearbox

An editor has suggested that this be merged into List of fictional characters who inhabit Drmies' user talk page (Discuss)

Zaphod Gearbox is from completely the wrong television series. Thanks to Noel Edmonds's Deal or No Deal, the rift in the time-space vortex that allowed this interloper in will soon be mended and xe will be excluded from Gallifrey and stuck in a crazy fictional universe of xyr own with nothing but Trillian and a load of chatty doors to keep xem company.

An avid petrolhead, from a long line of gearboxes, xe is often to be found whizzing along the space lanes in the Heart of Gold, thumbing xyr nose at Drmies, whose TARDIS is not allowed into Zaphod's special lane. Although, as the driver of a spaceship with infinite improbability drive xe is not allowed onto the hyperspace bypass, or unaccompanied into any movie with a PG rating.

The occasional extra radio series on BBC Radio 5 Live has not been beneficial to xem, and the second head is still as animatronic and mute as it was in the television series.

Discussion for Kaushal_Manda

Hi @Drmies:,

Thank you for monitoring incoming recentchanges. I'd like to discuss with you the Kaushal_Manda. My assessment is this is a page blanking without providing reason. I'd think that User:2401:4900:367a:ce7b:249a:1f39:ca1f:f895 needs to justify the reason before making such large scale blanking. What do you think? I am open to be educated and convinced if I were wrong. xinbenlv Talk, Ping 21:50, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, they should discuss/explain, and that's why I left an "edit summary" notice on their talk page. But their edit improved the article, and that's what always takes precedence. Drmies (talk) 21:53, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thank you @Drmies:, that makes a lot of sense now. Thank you for explanation. xinbenlv Talk, Ping 22:48, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:Xinbenlv, sure thing--I appreciate what you do, and I know it is sometimes almost tempting to revert an unexplained revert by an IP editor. Take it easy, Drmies (talk) 23:04, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive IP

Hello, I noticed that you reverted one of my AIV reports regarding an IP that keeps adding non-English text. "Série", as far as my knowledge of the English language is concerned, is not English. It should be series. This also isn't the first time they've done it, as evidenced here. I have reason to believe that this is a disruptive IP because they never use edit summaries (hence their rationale is unclear), nor do they respond to warnings. I would like to know what you think about it. Thanks. Sk8erPrince (talk) 00:47, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think that I'm not going to block someone because they write "serie" with an accent aigu. If I compare that edit you link to with the other 99k of chit-chat in that manga article, meh. Drmies (talk) 00:53, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning up more music pages

Hey, Drmies, thanks for your guidance this past month. I'm slowly cleaning up old J-pop related articles, especially Hello! Project related pages made before 2010. I'm considering merging Hello! Project Kenshusei to Hello! Project since they are just trainees, but would matching the format to SM Rookies look better? Also, I just renamed Mini-Moni and will be renaming the rest of their articles to match how their name is reported on English media. I looked through Mika Todd and her article has no sources nor does she have any notability outside of Coconuts Musume and Mini-Moni. Would you recommend merging? If so, which article should I merge hers with? lullabying (talk) 06:51, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmm. Yay, college fun for kids who don't need college to succeed. So a dude ate a bag of pepper? Which reminds me--y'all should consider steering clear of Aldi's pepper-encrusted bacon; it's really too spicy for regular bacon applications, at least for 4 out of 5 members of my household. Drmies (talk) 17:17, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Excellent advice. I'll stick to not eating regular bacon. Yesterday, I had a dish with green curry at a Thai restaurant. They had the 1-5 star system for spiciness, and one of the women at the table next to us asked the server about the stars. The server replied, one star mild, two stars medium, and was then cut off by the woman who said three stars please. I then asked the server, whom we know because we go often to this restaurant, what she had intended to say before being cut off, and she smiled and said, three stars hot, and the rest insane.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:28, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh that's hilarious. Was it painful? I had an experience with a know-it-all, a Dutch woman in a restaurant in the south of France, who was pontificating in Dutch to her table companion, something about the bottle of peppers in oil. She poured it all over her food and had to spend the rest of the meal pretending it was NOT HOT AT ALL and exactly what she wanted. I explained all this sotto voce to Mrs. Drmies, who is now convinced I'm a traitor to my country: I should have warned the lady the stuff was hotter than Hades. Drmies (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snigger. Sounds like something out of a 19th century novel where the woman is trying to save face for "society". The woman in my restaurant was different. Although I don't understand why she bothered asking, she was some kind of Asian-American, and clearly didn't have a problem with three stars. One of the dishes she ordered was my very favorite, Spicy Thai Noodles, made with fresh wide rice oodles and "stuff". I like it with 2 stars, which is spicy enough for my taste. I had the green curry for a change. BTW, before we had our main dishes, we had this exquisite duck soup with 5-spice. Besides lovely pieces of duck, it has shitake mushrooms, bok choy, cilantro, bean sprouts, and thin rice noodles. Sometimes I think I could have that every day, even though it is hard to eat without splattering.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:40, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bbb23, I'm shocked to see you using a word like snigger. So offensive! EEng 18:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Fat's

I know that you like to eat because you keep mentioning stroopwafels and talking about your grocery shopping expeditions, at least when you are not in Mark Zuckerberg's doghouse. Anyway. About 46 years ago I heard about this great restaurant in Sacramento, but procrastinated about checking it out until three weeks ago, when my wife and I ate there with one of my sons. So, I got all wound up about expanding the stub Frank Fat's and quintupled it, I think. Maybe more. I went back again today for a late lunch/early dinner with my wife, because we are old and I wanted to take a photo of a slice of banana cream pie for Commons. So, are there any glaring negatives and can you (or any members of your fan club) make it better? Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Books published by LuLu, a self-publishing company, should be used with great care. In this case, I suggest simply not using it at all, and going and finding the back-issue of The Californians with the in-depth article on Fat from which the name can be better sourced, and I suspect other stuff found as well. It's also in Beaton & Beaton 2001, p. 99,106.

    You missed Frank's sojourn in Nevada (Moe 2001, p. 29). You missed "speaker of the third house" and "senator fat", too. Moreover, do not forget the 2007 Gold Mountain: Whispers of the Past exhibition at 40 Acres Gallery. Or the bronze statue of the Chinese railroad worker in the California State Library, made by Edward Fraughton, donated by the Fat family, and recorded in the CSL Foundation Bulletin.

Hi Drmies, I wonder if "to adopt Moroccan nationality" might be better than "to adopt the Moroccan nationality"? If so, one would need an administrator, like yourself for example, to edit it at Template:Did you know/Queue#Queue 4. 14:32, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Wait--you have it the other way around. No, I'm going with "the" in it. Drmies (talk) 17:07, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The ENGVAR parts of my brain are all messed up -- part-British education with mostly U.S. reading material alongside some even more confusing aspects -- so I'm probably better to let you keep it how you like it. We had an authentically Moroccan-style shakshouka for dinner yesterday, very nice too. MPS1992 (talk) 17:44, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. Yes, BE usage is quite different sometimes--another thing I learned on Wikipedia. Oh, is that what shakshouka is--yes, I've eaten that, though in a more Italian setting. Love it. What I miss is merguez. We used to eat that all the time in the south of France. Drmies (talk) 17:49, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, where to point? User:Jusgtr reverted you, so maybe you're wrong. I have an idea: you talk this out on the talk page. Yeah, you can say "unverified", but there's a lot of unverified stuff, and one can easily argue that a list of actors/characters is simple plot information. Then again, Jusgtr, one can also argue that what you reinstated contained a BLP violation. And that's really all there is to say here on this particular topic--unless you somehow manage to bring Neanderthals into this discussion, cause that's where it's at.

Nate Speed E-Mail

A particular Nate Speed sock that you blocked within the last hour or so e-mailed me one of their trademark threats. What's my next course of action? Crboyer (talk) 01:40, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Crboyer: I see only one account blocked recently by Drmies that is clearly such a sock, but that account had email disabled. If the mail was sent via Wikipedia (from a user at Wikipedia), please identify the user. If wanted, email Drmies or myself the name for its email to be disabled. If the email was not sent from an editor, delete the email and do not click any links it may contain. There is not much that can be done about a situation like apart from ignoring it. WP:DENY works eventually. Per WP:LTA/NS, threats can be reported to WP:EMERGENCY but ignoring it would just as effective unless extreme. Johnuniq (talk) 01:50, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I just looked at some recent edits. There is no point arguing with an LTA. Report the issue somewhere for an admin to revision delete nonsense and to protect the page if needed. There is also very little point tagging socks which just provides encouragement IMHO. Some banned users make good contributions and their socks might be active making reasonable edits for an extended period. In that case, tagging might be useful. However, for an LTA a tag is just an invitation to keep going because we notice them and provide social interaction. Johnuniq (talk) 01:57, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Crboyer, I got a notification that that account had sent me two emails; apparently they didn't think they were a loser. Strange, right, cause it seems so obvious. Anyway, I blocked the account right away and disabled email. I would just forget their existence--they're really not worth it. And next time you see that idiotic screaming, you go "oh. yeah. them" and report. Take care, Drmies (talk) 01:59, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Paul Pascon

On 27 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Paul Pascon, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that archaeologist Paul Pascon was a Pied-Noir whose devotion to the situation of Moroccan peasants led him to take Moroccan citizenship? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Paul Pascon), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Quick quiz

Without cheating and looking at the article: What are the main ingredients and serving temperature of a Popeye's Chicken Sandwich (AfD discussion)? Uncle G (talk) 16:56, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why are these free sandboxs not fair?

Hello, just give me one good reason why these extra sandboxs are not fair to create, please explain why you're trying to do this, why, is it illegal or something or against the law that I cannot do this, it's not like I'm getting away with it, please, all I'm trying to do create these extra sandboxs for personal data information of mine that I've been doing for a long time now, I mean, please! the_john_perez 18:28, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

@The john perez: Drmies already linked you to the policy that says you "cannot do this". Basically, Wikipedia is not a place to store "personal data information of mine". If you want to encourage Drmies not to be deleting your sandboxes all the time, then firstly you need to read, understand, and comply with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia, and secondly you need to provide some explanation of the purpose that your sandboxes serve in improving this encyclopedia. It could also be that I have misunderstood what is going on, as I have not seen whatever it is that has been deleted. MPS1992 (talk) 19:46, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks MPS. User:The john perez, I suppose I am happy that you finally found a talk page and a reason to communicate. If you had done so before you created seven more of those policy-violating sandboxes, you wouldn't have wasted all that time. Yes, you cannot do this--one, it's not a place where you can do personal data storage. Secondly, you cannot take other people's material without attributing it properly.

Saltwater crocodile

Who are you may I ask? An admin? I join Wikipedia not to make friends, but to provide truths and facts. And I do not know them face-to-face. And there are pages of largest species don't have reference of reliable sources in the open paragraph to prove that they are the largest species, like tiger. And the edits I added for saltwater crocodile are facts. Seriously, is this Wikipedia too demanding? I'm beginning to wonder if other people were right about saying that the Wikipedia is untrustworthy? --Manwë986 (talk) 01:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, Drmies. Some other people think that Wikipedia is untrustworthy because not everything are true. Perhaps so, for they don't even need Wikipedia to prove so, as they access websites and news etc. I add references of news and scientific resources, if one sentence wasn't enough. As I said, the tiger page doesn't have references in the open paragraph to prove that it is the largest cat. Please visit the tiger page and you know what I mean. --Manwë986 (talk) 02:34, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Back 12ya, all I heard was that Wikipedia (the encyclopedia anyone can edit) was untrustworthy. Are we now less often regarded as untrustworthy? We must have some cache, based on the number of promo user pages I delete.-- Deepfriedokra 02:54, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Countless people yearn for favorable coverage on the #5 website in the world, while simultaneously denouncing Wikipedia as untrustworthy. It works both ways for them. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:59, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frye Gaillard

Frye Gaillard is now in article space per your request. Is your roast done yet? I can't say it's my best work, there's scant biographical information out there, but he's written a ton of books and I've probably missed some. Acroterion (talk) 02:56, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Very well done. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:01, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Examples of better work would be Bernard R. Hubbard (a very strange man who could title a book Mush, You Malamutes! with a straight face), or for working with limited sourcing, BunaB. Acroterion (talk) 03:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fascinating. Hubbard was a Jesuit from San Francisco, and I graduated from the Jesuit University of San Francisco. I am quite interested in the mountains of Alaska and had an aunt who lived there for many years. And I never heard of him before. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:22, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As for odd gadgets, a slightly more elevated example is Zenith Radio Nurse, which I wrote most of. I get a kick out of the fact that car radios, baby monitors and garage door openers were interfering with each other in 1938. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:30, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
