Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6 ↗, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here ↗. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page ↗. Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 03:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

NEW CATEGORY PAGE

Hello '''Washington-user!!''' What do you think of this category ↗? Either on a scale of 1-10 or with commentary. Let me know through the "Special:EmailUser/" section. #TTiT# 11:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by The-Traveller-in-Tacoma (talk • contribs ↗)

HFCS

I noticed your edits about glucose/fructose. Although many web sites say that glucose-fructose syrup, isoglucose, and glucose/fructose are HFCS that is not necessarily the case. While HFCS is often labeled as glucose-fructose syrup, isoglucose, and glucose/fructose non corn derived products are also labeled as such. http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/fssa/labeti/guide/ch2-1e.shtml ↗ #17 http://www.eufic.org/page/en/page/FAQ/faqid/glucose-fructose-syrup/ ↗ Invert sugar is another similar product in the UK made by enzymatic breakup of sucrose into glucose and fructose. Weetoddid (talk) 03:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

:I was actually reverting the article to a previous version. Someone without an account made http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High-fructose_corn_syrup&diff=394940917&oldid=394789066 this edit ↗ claiming that HFCS is called “corn syrup” in the UK, but did not change the references, http://informedchoicesblog.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/hfcs-isoglucose/ ↗ and http://www.netmums.com/food/Food_Nasties_Watch_Out_.321/ ↗, which both refer to glucose-fructose syrup, and did not add any new references to support this usage. I am not familiar with usage outside of the US, and I don't know who made the original claim about UK usage and added the references to support it. I undid this particular edit because corn syrup ↗ definitely refers to a different food product, and because the old version was supported by two references. --MYCETEAE - talk 05:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

::Any ideas on how to incorporate this info into the article without over-complicating it? Weetoddid (talk) 05:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

:::I'm not sure. It looks like these products are not necessarily the same thing; usage seems to be based on the regulatory idiosyncrasies of each country. Like I said, I'm not familiar with international usage, so I can't really comment on the accuracy of the current article, or recommend any specific changes. I do think that the references currently given for glucose-fructose syrup in the UK are pretty weak. They appear to at least reflect colloquial usage, but legal definitions would be better, and the sites you linked to here appear official. If these products aren't exactly the same thing, a separate section or a brief mention of these similar products in the intro might be appropriate. Another thing to consider is which terms redirect to the HFCS article. Isoglucose ↗ does redirect to high-fructose corn syrup ↗, but it's not listed as a synonym in the intro and only appears once in the article. On the other hand, glucose/fructose ↗ is listed in bold in the article opening as the Canadian name for HFCS, but this term does not redirect to the HFCS article. I think the relevant question is, what term or terms are people likely to search for on the English Wikipedia? If you want to expand the article, I say go for it, or start a discussion on the HFCS talk page. Is there a place on Wikipedia to solicit recommendations on standard usage throughout the Anglosphere? —MYCETEAE - talk 06:24, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Invalid ISBN

In an edit at Acid ↗ you added the reference "Pavia, D.L., Lampman, G.M., & Kriz, G.S. (2004). ''Organic chemistry volume 1: Organic chemistry 351.'' Mason, OH: Cenage Learning. ISNB: 9780759342724". http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Acid&diff=prev&oldid=286183971 ↗ Unfortunately, the ISBN you gave was invalid. I was wondering whether you could help in finding the correct one. Lmatt (talk) 01:15, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
:This is the ISBN that is printed on the back of my book. The textbook was specially printed for the organic chemistry course at my university, and while I believe it may have been published elsewhere, unfortunately I am not sure of that and cannot verify what might be printed in other editions. If any statements need to be removed because this reference can't be verified, I completely understand, but I believe that anything I've written can be verified in other basic chemistry texts. I wish I could be more helpful. MYCETEAE - talk 04:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

List of dopaminergic drugs change

Hey there, I'm reviewing some of the #NOV24 changes and I noticed that one of the references you used for this change ↗ did not contain the information it was being used as a reference for. (The archive'd link.) Please make sure there's a connection between the citation and the content being cited. :) Thank you! Smallangryplanet (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks for catching that @Smallangryplanet. The same citation appears in the lead at receptor antagonist ↗ FYI. I should have read it more carefully. I was surprised to see the entire paragraph removed but I supposed I understand. I appreciate your taking the time to review and give me feedback. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 15:44, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
::@Myceteae If you can cite the contents of the paragraph to something - feel free to put it back! Important to check resources on other pages before re-using them, I've found a whole bunch of stuff that needed to go or be moved to other places in articles as part of this drive 🥴, sometimes people change text without changing the reference or don't read the reference carefully enough. Smallangryplanet (talk) 16:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
:::It's a good reminder. I've encountered this issue on many pages. A challenge I encounter both as a reader and editor is when an inline citation is only intended to support the final sentence of a paragraph or the final clause of a sentence. Often there are straightforward options to reword or reformat but sometimes such attempts make the prose more awkward. One reason this occurs is when an editor considers some or all of the preceding text to be {{em|verifiable}} despite not being {{em|verified}} ↗. Anyway, thanks again, @Smallangryplanet. I agree with your conclusion in this case that the citation in question did not support the text it was intended to support. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Account age

{{disdis|Iljhgtn|spi=PapaTakaro}}
<s>Hi Myceteae,</s>

<s>I did want to ask you about your account age and activity. It seemed highly unusual to have less than 500 edits when I believe we first began interacting, and then to suddenly become very active in 2024 all of a sudden. Iljhgtn (talk) 06:18, 8 November 2024 (UTC)</s>

:<s>Your account was started in November of 2007, which is very impressive! But then your first edit was this one ↗ on Gun show loophole ↗. I did not find any earlier interest in that page. Iljhgtn (talk) 06:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)</s>
::As I explain on my user page, I have been on Wikipedia for a long time but only became an active editor this year after years of reading with only sporadic contributions. I first came to GSL from NPOVN. I followed that discussion for a while but did not participate. I then saw your RM and jumped in. Isn’t the point of notice boards to get eyes on a discussion? I’ve been spending a lot of time on various notice boards as a way to engage with WP’s numerous policies and practices. I hope you will engage with some of my proposals. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 15:23, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
::@Iljhgtn Also, I can't tell how you meant this, but to clarify, that was not my first ever edit on Wikipedia ↗. (It's possible I made some IP edits before that—who can remember that far back?) I would describe my activity as moderately active from 2008 through 2013. After that there were several years where I did not make a single edit. I became much more active this year, especially in the later half. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 19:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
:::<s>"...was this one on Gun show loophole..." meaning on that particular page, not ever. It looks like the subject matter that you used to edit was different, on therapy and acid and other related items. Just seems to be your first foray into this arena, but you seem pretty well versed in it. Iljhgtn (talk) 19:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)</s>
::::@Iljhgtn I thought that was what you meant but just wanted to be sure. You can see from my contribs that I contribute to a variety of topics, including the chemistry, biomedicine, and pseudoscience topics that were my main focus back in the day, although the balance has shifted. Lately I've been participating in a lot of RM discussions and I look at the list of open move discussions frequently.With respect to Gun show loophole ↗, I've tried to move forward productively by addressing and incorporating issues raised by you and others who object to the outcome of the RMs. My views have shifted as a result of recent and ongoing discussions. I would have been fine with the lead and body at the time the NPOV discussion started but I now favor better coverage of prominent issues with the term itself. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
:::::Iljhgtn's edit history and questions here might also be considered highly unusual, but please don't worry about it. They are required to follow policy just like everyone else. Cheers. DN (talk) 08:35, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:::::Additionally, comments like this ↗, accusing others of "ignoring" certain comments seems inappropriate, and distracting. I suggest hatting it. DN (talk) 07:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
::::::<s>What does "hatting it" mean? I looked it up ↗. I am not familiar with that phrase. Where does it originate? Also, why are you responding on behalf of Myceteae on his or her talk page? Iljhgtn (talk) 16:22, 12 November 2024 (UTC)</s>
:::::::It's not unusual for editors to see and respond to posts on one another's user talk page. DN's comment are welcome here. (I admit I was surprised when I first encountered this community norm. I have come to appreciate it.) I was frustrated by the accusation that we are "ignoring" such comments in the midst of a long and complex discussion in which DN, myself, and others have repeatedly described and offered support for our assessment about the meaning and usage of GSL. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:31, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

::Oh wow, blast from the past. @DN, were you aware of Iljhgtn and Fenharrow's sockpuppetry? I'd stepped away from Gun show loophole ↗ a while ago. I found myself revisiting the article and talk page recently but did not contribute. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 15:55, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
:::I had my suspicions and even did some digging, but I decided to step back because I wasn't in a position to make accusations given our contentious discussions here. I really had no good options but to step back and let them make fools of themselves. DN (talk) 17:15, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
::::@DN, I'm glad it's been taken care of. I realize there are other editors with similar views and that there is a long history with that page, but during my relatively brief involvement, those two did strike me as particularly obstructive.

Cryptids

Since I am leaving the project, I wanted to thank you for your work on this and many other pages. The users who trashed previous attempts to create a SELCRIT seemed to have much the same agenda as the new ones: Having a SELCRIT means that the article is maintainable. If it is maintainable, it is a legitimate article, which poses a problem for their determination to delete it from the encyclopaedia entirely. I thought it was worth it to fight that agenda. I am hoping my withdrawal from Wikipedia won't end the discussion. Thank you again for making the encyclopaedia a better resource. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 21:06, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

:@Last1in Best of luck to you and thank you for your contributions. Whether this is a temporary or a permanent departure, take care of yourself and protect your peace. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 21:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
::I've been editing since April of 2005, usually not from my account because my previous employer's proxy service made logins impossible, but editing steadily nonetheless. After seeing what Bloodofox posted, I reviewed their edit history. Their attacks are wide-ranging, vicious and unrelenting. They appear to pursue editors from article to article, hounding editors until they surrender or quit. I am choosing the latter option. I expect that this will be my last edit, but I honestly, truly appreciate your constructive criticism of what I had hoped would make the Cryptid article better. Good luck and cheers, Last1in (talk) 21:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
:::@Last1in Only you know the best course of action for yourself at this point. For what it's worth, I felt the the conversation was constructive and so far I haven't seen a rash of challenges to items that have recently been removed. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 22:54, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

GSL poll

Sorry, your !vote caught me a bit off guard. FYI, I have since added '''Version D''' which removes the combination of controversial & political and simply adds "controversial", and specified this is only a pre-RFC poll...no official RFC link have been set up.

'''Version D''':The gun show loophole is a controversial term describing the absence of laws mandating background checks for certain private sales of firearms in the United States.

Cheers DN (talk) 05:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

:I’m very much opposed to the word “controversial.” I think focusing on the opening sentence is the wrong move. I don’t know that I have anything else constructive do say… I’ll probably take another look at the options again tomorrow and see if I have anything new to add.

Comment

Sorry you didn't get the redirect to happen at the chemicals conspiracy theory article. After seeing this ↗ comment from Daniel Rigal, I think it makes sense.

In previous discussions I have raised that the only conspiracy theory is the gay frogs claim, specifically because it involves the government doing it. RFKs argument is a fringe theory, but probably not a conspiracy theory.

The general hypothesis about endocrine disruptors and sexual orientation / gender dysphoria is a question of science. The article seems like a WP:COATRACK ↗.

Zenomonoz (talk) 22:06, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

:It’s disappointing to see a nonsensical name, that is also not a COMMONNAME, survive. RFK Jr. did reference the same chemical and many articles covering his statements explicitly discuss the history back to Jones's “gay frogs” comments. I think it’s a borderline case – not the highest quality article for sure. The article title is terrible but I don’t have a better suggestion for the editors who think RFK’s comments belong but that ''gay frogs'' is too narrow a description. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 05:41, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
::Yeah, perhaps this needs an RFC or some feedback from those not involved on the article. Zenomonoz (talk) 08:50, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
:::Honestly, I don’t have the energy to fight it nor do I have a better suggestion for the title or a specific question for the RfC. In hindsight, maybe I should have alerted the LGBTQ+ studies project to the two RMs without comment on my position. I sort of backed myself into a corner making an over-the-top MoS proposal without providing context. When pressed for examples, I didn’t want to advocate hard for my position outside of the RM discussions in progress (WP:CANVASS ↗). In contrast to gay frogs ↗, the outcome of Talk:Modern pagan views on LGBT people#Requested move 22 January 2025 ↗ was a really nice example of collaboration to improve an article title, so it’s not a total loss. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:11, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
:::I thought your suggestion was an improvement over ''LGBT chemicals''. It’s more precise and certainly more linguistically sound. But it could also be much broader than fringe theories stemming from the ''Xenopus'' atrazine studies. The article could still have COATRACK problems or could maybe be transformed into an article on a coherent subject with the current title or something like you propose. I’m open to participating in further discussion but I’m out of ideas for starting one. I appreciate your efforts here! --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 17:30, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

::You're welcome! Would you want me to inform you every time I start a RM discussion? Jako96 (talk) 10:13, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
:::@Jako96 No, I think that's not necessary. I do look at RMCD pretty regularly but I've been cutting back a bit. I guess if a discussion has gotten too little attention or needs an additional perspective, you can drop me a line from time to time. I may not always be able to jump in in time.
:::Side note – Selectively notifying individuals of RM (and similar) discussions may raise eyebrows. It could give the appearance of WP:CANVASS ↗ing. To be clear, I do not think you did anything wrong here. Your notice here was neutrally worded. Plus, I don't always agree with you in these RMs, so it's not like you were trying to recruit someone from your 'side'. I think it shows your genuine interest in process and participation.

I recently discovered the {{tl|Press}} template and Wikipedia:Press coverage 2025 ↗.

What do you think about the Fox News article ↗, which is discussed in ''Slate'', does that belong on WP:PRESS 25 ↗? It's framed around the Charlie Kirk ↗ article but also discusses other articles and issues. --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 13:23, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
::::IMO it fits, it has some content on WP as whole. If you pick a quote, try to get some of that aspect.

Hey I recall you objected to a redirect from Next Israeli election ↗, but it appears it does redirect now despite the edit summary says "without leaving a redirect"? I am also not certain how we would do this without leaving a redirect. Slomo666 (talk) 22:26, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

:@Slomo666 Thanks for the heads up! The old title, Next Israeli legislative election ↗, was deleted per the recommendation in the RM discussion but Next Israeli election ↗ and the other redirects ↗ to the article were left in place. I will nominate these for deletion at WP:RFD ↗. The standard practice when a page is moved is to convert the old title to a redirect to a the new title as an {{tl|R from move}} and to retarget all the existing redirects to the new target. I would not expect the other redirects to be deleted without explicit discussion. —Myceteae{{zero width joiner}}🍄‍🟫 (talk) 22:38, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Your signature, as used {{diff|User talk:Lunamann|prev|1335017302|here}}, is overlong at almost 280 characters, which is against the WP:SIGLEN ↗ policy. It also contains a template contrary to the WP:SIG#NT ↗ policy; specifically, this is {{tlx|zero width joiner}}, which should be replaced by the entity <code>&zwj;</code>. You also have an invalid declaration <code>color: color:#324c80</code> where the property name and colon both appear twice, which means that the declaration is ignored by browsers. The result of this is that your user page link is appearing in the default blue colour, instead of your intended {{colorbox|#324c80}} colour. Did you know that the <code>style=</code> attribute can be used on all HTML elements, without exception? This means that you can eliminate two of the three {{tag|span}} pairs, and so your sig may be reduced from 277 characters to 228, as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext>—Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk)</syntaxhighlight> which will bring it under the maximum permitted length set down at WP:SIGLEN.

Re: RM on Talk:Leg warmer ↗

Hey Myceteae, the move request on the Leg warmer ↗ page was opened by me largely as a procedural matter to resolve the prior undiscussed move. I was already on the fence before and after the arguments made in the RM I'm pretty much convinced that I should withdraw the nomination, as the original mover on whose behalf I opened the RM hasn't commented on it and doesn't seem likely to. I'm messaging you because I'm not exactly sure how to go about withdrawing the proposal short of striking out my own statements, and remembered you helping someone else with the process during an earlier discussion ↗. I'd really appreciate your help with this. ''Thanks, '''Glasspalace''' (talk • contribs ↗)'' 09:58, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

:Hi @Glasspalace, thanks for reaching out. I am always happy to help a fellow editor! As I see it, there are two options. You can close the discussion yourself as withdrawn. Since there are only 'oppose' !votes at this time, withdrawal is allowable per WP:RMEC ↗. I have never actually closed an RM myself so I don't have first-hand knowledge of the steps. There are instructions at WP:RMCS ↗. The other option is to indicate your intent to withdraw within the listing itself and wait for an uninvolved editor to come along and close it. The most straightforward way to do that is to strike the original nomination rationale statement and at the end append '''Withdrawn''' with a brief explanation, signature, and date. This does leave open the possibility that other editors will come along and express support for the move. The discussion may stay open for the entire 7 days but a lot of people watch RM so it's possible someone will come along and close it early as withdrawn based on clear documentation in the discussion. I'll keep an eye on the discussion. Let me know how else I can help. Cheers —Myceteae{{zero width joiner}}🍄‍🟫 (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Inquiry from a newly autoconfirmed user.

Hi,

I hope you are having a good day. I would just like to inquire on how you got so many edits in 30 days, and how I could speed up some of my edits as you do. If possible, for better understanding please look at my recent contributions.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

:Hi @Mycaeneangreecetuffboy, I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. If you look at my contributions, you'll see that I have been editing for almost 19 years and started off pretty slow. These days, the vast majority of my contributions are to discussion pages, especially WP:RFD ↗, and occasionally WP:RMCD ↗ and talk page discussion for articles of interest to me.
:I started off by editing articles that interested me but for the most part I was an infrequent contributor for many years. I honestly don't remember how I stumbled upon RM ("RMCD"), where I was much more active before RFD, but I have become more interested in these areas than in adding encyclopedia content. That said, I do occasionally add content to articles that interest me, sometimes inspired by discussions I've taken part in, and I also make small changes and corrections to articles I am reading. For example, updating links, rewording awkward phrases, and correcting small errors.
:In general, I think it's a bad idea to try to "juice" your edits just to reach a particular status. Find articles that interest you or tasks and discussions you enjoy participating in. Avoid racking up trivial edits, especially early on. This can give the appearance that you are trying to game the system to access additional privileges, whether or not this is the case. On the other hand, if you are making major changes to an article, go slowly at first and be prepared to engage with other editors who may challenge or question your edits.
:WP:TEAHOUSE ↗ is a great place for new editors to ask questions and get advice. I wish I could be more helpful. I'm always happy to help new editors but I'm sort of bad at describing my won approach, which is rather idiosyncratic and aligned with my random interests and skills. If you have a more specific question about my main areas of contribution, I will do my best to help. Otherwise, I think the Teahouse is a good place to start, or follow up with one of the editors who has left 'welcome' messages on your talk page. Folks who monitor Teahouse and post welcome messages on new editor talk pages are usually very helpful and have good general advice for new editors. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I apologize if that came off as an accusation, just wanted to give you a heads up about how it can appear to some folks when a new editor starts making a large number of edits, especially if they are either very minor edits or massive edits. I see from your talk page that you have joined the unreferenced articles drive. Drives and other WikiProject initiatives are great ways to get involved! Since you asked for advice, familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Reliable sources ↗ and Wikipedia:Inline citation ↗, which are directly relevant to this drive. Wikipedia:Reliable sources ↗ is probably one of the most important Wiki guidelines. Read through the main points but don't expect to memorize or understand every application of the guideline right away. It's easy to be intimidated by all of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Keep making your edits, slow and steady, and just be prepared to engage with other editors. If you're especially interested in adding sources to unreferenced articles, look at the WikiProject talk page (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Unreferenced articles ↗) and don't be afraid to ask questions there. Another good place for discussions about reliable sources is WP:RSN ↗. Welcome to Wikipedia :) —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 15:35, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Mixing inline wiki markup ('') with block-level HTML () may break parsing

Myceteae, thanks for your comment ↗ at Talk:Mais qui ? ↗. Please don't use constructions like
: {{talk quote|<code><nowiki>''Chicago Manual of Style ↗'' does have guidance on this (login required to access linked sections)</nowiki></code>}}
as this breaks parsing, which affects syntax highlighting and may cause Linter errors. If you want to use html tags like then think about how you'd italicize: you'd say, <code><nowiki>Chicago Manual of Style ↗ does have guidance...</nowiki></code>, right? You'd never nest the block-level p-tag inside the inline-level i-tag. Mixing them with wiki markup just makes it harder on the parser, which usually knows what you meant, but not always. If you do use Html, please close all your tags (even ones that most browsers are very forgiving about unclosed ones, like p- and li-tags), and close nested tags last-in, first out (<li>...</li>). As an alternative to , you can use template {{t|pb}}, which does not require closing at the end of the paragraph. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 02:04, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

:The <code><nowiki>''Chicago Manual of Style ↗''</nowiki></code> was a sloppy error as I copied and pasted. I wasn't aware of the need to close tags here. I haven't thought about that in years! Thanks for the heads up. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 02:20, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
:: No worries. You don't really *need* to close p-tags if you do everything else right, but you increase the risk of an incorrect parse if there's other squirrely stuff mixed in. Template {{t|pb}} works nicely, and you can stick it most anywhere. I use it inside the {{para|customend}} parameter on Welcome templates ↗ like these ↗ for example, to add a final paragraph at the end of the welcome message. I'd be very wary of using a p-tag in that context. Mathglot (talk) 02:55, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Archival of some MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak discussions

Hi Myceteae. Just to let you know, I've already archived some ended discussions at Talk:MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak/Archive 1 ↗, so the age for the auto archive you setup may need adjusting. Thank you, Fortek67 (talk) 16:45, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

:@Fortek67 Thanks for the heads up! I anticipated there would be questions or different preferences, hence why I left a fairly detailed rationale in the edit summary. I see that your manual archiving has been reverted ↗ and the archive is now empty. I also see that someone has changed it to a 30-day auto-archiving period. Perhaps we should have a discussion on the talk page. I hate to clutter it more but there are clearly differences of opinion. Whatever we decide now will need monitoring and frequent adjusting. I tend to be somewhat conservative when it comes to auto-archiving. I think, for most pages, there is little benefit to quickly removing "old" posts. A breaking news article requires a different approach and should still be supplemented with manual archiving. I didn't look at the history to review which posts you archived. <24 hours is a little extreme though there are certainly posts that are resolved in that timeframe. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 17:48, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
::Hi @Myceteae. I agree, 24 hours is a little extreme for some discussions. I wrote to the person who reverted my edits, Mathglot, they encouraged starting a consensus in the talk page. Thanks, Fortek67 (talk) 17:58, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
::: Yes, the TP is the right venue to get consensus on archiving. Fwiw, I also favor longer archiving, and use of manual curation for breaking news, keeping what is relevant or provides context for earlier decisions and concerns, to avoid reinventing the wheel on the TP, or churning the article. Mathglot (talk) 18:11, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

May 2026

I'm sorry for the WP:TRAINWRECK ↗ that I could've handled better during the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak. The truth is that I created the United States page and knew it was going to be deleted. So, I pivoted the page move to the Draft:Timeline of the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak ↗. I felt like it would've been a permanent stain on my record if I had an article deleted in a basically unanimous decision. Call me a Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about winning ↗ every time you want. However, I am contemplating if I want to move on from Wikipedia because of a lot of blunders I've had in the past: User talk:CostalCal. CostalCal (talk) 02:47, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

:@CostalCal, I'm sorry to hear that. I won't sugar coat it, that AfD situation was a mess. I imagine some of the responses may have felt personal but I can assure you that is not where I was coming from nor did I read that as the tone of the other respondents. It might be good to take a short break. I don't recall running into you before, so I can't give an overall comment on your contributions, but just scrolling through your user page and talk page I see you have receive many barnstars and compliments, in addition to some of the "blunders" as you call them, and have made a large number of edits. With fast moving topics like a breaking news story and in the middle of XfD discussions, I would just encourage you to slow down. When I came int the AfD discussion, via the post at Talk:MV ''Hondius'' hantavirus outbreak ↗, I was rather bewildered by the history. It looks to me like you were trying your best to produce quality content and respond to some of the feedback. I made the AN post in hopes of putting a stop to the discussion, which was confusing and not productive. I was deliberate in not framing it as a user behavior problem, although I do think your actions qualified as disruptive, because they appeared to me to be in good faith and I could see that things had gotten out of control.
:For what it's worth, I think the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak#Timeline ↗ is too bloated. I was actually contemplating jumping in to the discussion to voice support for either splitting off the timeline or just trimming the coverage in the main outbreak article. But when I got to the AfD I uncovered larger problems. Also, I've gotten into some back-and-forth with other editors at Talk:MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak#Auto-archiving ↗. Everyone is doing their best to respond to a firehose of new information and a huge number of edits every day.
:Anyway, I hope you are able to reflect on this, as well as your positive contributions to Wikipedia, and find a way forward. I know I make the most mistakes when I get flustered and start moving too fast. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 04:09, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Privacy and hantavirus (and my moving on from "old thread")

From "old thread" that i quite possibly have moved on from: 
 
"Now as for the table of cases, I'm increasing unsure we should have this in the first place. It might raise privacy concerns." 
 
My comment: ''If'' one thinks there might be privacy concerns, then anyone should consider suggesting to remove any of the following from the table:

the exact age, could be changed (in the table) to "20-29" ... "60-69" years old, or something like that.

and/or remove

male-or-female gender, from the table.--Note: i can imagine possible privacy concerns, such as a person ending up in the table-of-cases, ''without'' having been on a cruise-ship, or without having been in those provinces where the rice-mouses roam. (Without direct age-info and/or direct gender-info in the table, privacy-concerns might be reduced significantly, if not totally.)

For now, i am fine with one or both "removals" (above), happening thru a near-consensus of administrators. Thereafter the (main) community of wikipedians can gain consensus, for how to move on.--Wikipedia does perhaps have an ethics-board-et-cetera, and it might be relevant to mention privacy-concerns to such board? Anyway, i expect to move on to newer and "better" threads. ~2026-29043-04 ↗ (talk) 19:20, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

FAQ (table of contents, and Hantavirus-infectees related to a 100+ passenger-ship)

1. Does at least one person, feel that too many details in that table-of-contents, could be a privacy-concern? 
 
2. By removing the table-of-contents, but keeping all the information spread thru paragraphs and sentences - does that make the concern (feel) smaller? 
 
I think the following is a fair presentation (to ''some'') of concerns: 
"We already have details about these unidentified individuals throughout but something about tabular details that list age, nationality, test results, and whether someone is currently in the hospital seems improper even though this information is available elsewhere". 
 
"My" FAQ, has its first version above. 
 
Note: do i think there is much point in answering questions about those details, on talk pages? It might be wise to collect info in a FAQ, and quote whatever present version there is of a FAQ.

RNEUTRAL rewrite

In re {{slink|Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2026_July_3#c-Myceteae-20260702005900-Tamzin-20260626192200}}, I honestly think a rewrite of RNEUTRAL is due. Not too radical a one substantively, but the current text has a lot of repetition and focuses heavily on how non-neutral redirects wind up existing, which mostly doesn't matter. (Also one of its canonical examples, ''{{-r|Barack Obama Muslim rumor}}'', isn't even a non-neutral redirect!) I'm thinking something like:{{tq2
|Just as article titles using non-neutral language are permitted in some circumstances ↗, so are such redirects. Because redirects are less visible to readers, more latitude is allowed in their names. If the article on the redirect's topic does not give context for the non-neutral term in its lead paragraph, it is generally preferable to redirect to a section or related article that does give context; otherwise the reader could be misled to think that Wikipedia endorses the equation of the non-neutral term and the topic.

{{-r|Moscow Mitch}}, a derisive nickname for Mitch McConnell ↗, redirects not to the lead section of his article but to {{slink|Mitch McConnell#In popular culture}}, which discusses its usage.

{{-r|Liz Windsor}}, a derisive nickname for Elizabeth II ↗, redirects not to her article but to {{slink|Personality and image of Elizabeth II#Critics}}, which discusses its usage.

{{-r|Racist Winston Churchill}} redirects not to Winston Churchill ↗ but to Racial views of Winston Churchill ↗. Even though the article does not use the exact phrase, it still explains the concept that the term refers to.

{{-r|Gypsy}}, a controversial term for Romani people ↗, does redirect to that article, which explains the term's usage in its lead section.

{{-r|Cancer sticks}}, a term used to refer to cigarette ↗s, does redirect to that article. Even though the article does not use the exact phrase, the lead section clearly establishes that cigarettes are associated with cancer, giving readers context for the name.

More scrutiny should be applied to non-neutral redirects concerning living persons ↗, sensitive political subjects, or claims that have been proven false. On the other hand, it is generally undesirable to delete non-neutral redirects that were previously the title of the article in question for more than a brief period of time.

:Thanks for following up on this! This represents some real improvements though I feel something is missing. I'm not sure it quite captures our actual practice, nor am I confident I can articulate what that practice is. I have a few initial reactions, which are not fully considered and by no means definitive.
:One thought I have is to expand the discussion at {{slink|Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Common outcomes#Non-neutral terms}} and/or perhaps in an essay describing common arguments and approaches. I think there are some considerations and outcomes that may not have the level of consensus of a guideline but that are worth describing.
:I do think that some of the wording in the final paragraph is useful to retain:{{tq2|The exceptions to this rule would be redirects that are not established terms ↗ and are unlikely to be useful, and therefore may be nominated for deletion, perhaps under deletion reason #3 ↗. However, if a redirect represents an established term that is used in multiple mainstream reliable sources ↗, it should be kept even if non-neutral, as it will facilitate searches on such terms. Please keep in mind that RfD ↗ is not the place to resolve ↗ most editorial disputes.}}It is useful to be explicit that we often delete these, after giving some examples that have been deemed appropriate.
:This is perhaps a minor point, but I think we should include a ''-gate ↗'' example just because these are so common. {{-r|Antennagate}} is similar to the {{-r|Cancer sticks}} example in that the term is not used at the target but the coverage is felt to be sufficiently clear to justify the redirect. There are plenty of other examples at ''-gate ↗'' that do and do not use the term.
:We should include a positive example. There is a reasonable tendency to focus on pejorative non-neutrality but promotional, fancrufty, obscure, and other laudatory or celebratory redirects are also a concern. I don't think {{-r|CEO of sex}} is a good example (assuming it's kept). How about {{-r|King of Pop}}?
:Two scenarios that arise at RFD and are not covered by the current guidance nor this proposal come to mind:
:#A non-neutral name is reasonably well documented in reliable sources but is not covered on Wikipedia and is felt to require some explanation.
:#A non-neutral name rarely or never appears in reliable sources but is common in unreliable sources.
:Maybe these are too squishy, and our approach too subjective and case-by-case, to describe any sort of consensus approach. The current guidance ↗ references both verifiability and reliable sources (as in the paragraph I quoted above). In practice, I think our standards vary with respect to the application of V and RS to WP:RNEUTRAL ↗ determinations. —Myceteae&zwj;🍄‍🟫 (talk) 21:45, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
