Edit Reverted

Hello, I noticed that you reverted one of my edits to Jordan Peterson's page saying that I had added original research. Could you please let me know which parts of my edit you thought were original research as I had not added anything original. Please let me know so that I can make the necessary changes. Best Regards. Adindia2209 (talk) 05:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

It's original research because you looked at primary sources and made your own conclusions. Saying that someone has frequently retweeted another, with two links to tweets isn't how things are done. You need a reliable secondary source that says he frequently retweets this person, and tells people to listen to them. Also, a blurb is not a review. See WP:DUE as well.

Steve Kirsch

I don't like this {information/ disinformation} POV thing. It's boring and unhelpful. Covid is a fast moving data area: most of what was true 18 months ago is all in the garbage can now: actually [Steve Kirsch] is merely ahead of the boring pack of orthodoxies by a month or three. You could also tag just about every Nobel Laureate as spreading disinformation two months before their award, and then have to eat your words 12 months later. Whats the rush to judgement? Let's keep it neutral: there are many opinions, and many facts, and many of those opinions and facts clash: so let's celebrate our dissidents, not trash them with harsh and hasty judgements. I am not an agent of Big Pharma: are you? We are not the establishment: I hope we are far better than that.

Sounds like a discussion for the talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:46, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't have the time or energy to engage in such absurd nit picking: but why be deliberately provocative and personally abusive like this: " a promoter of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines."?

Thats like a red rag to a bull: why not just use a less insulting terminology such as '" a promoter of unconventional information about COVID-19 vaccines."? The fact is that we would need about 100,000 words to debate why these vaccines don't or do benefit humanity: but my own view as someone who aquired natural immunity early on with a quite minor dose of the real thing, is that they are (mostly) garbage.

Skeptical Inquirer RfC

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish! I'm pretty sure that in your !vote in the Skeptical Inquirer RfC here you wrote "i.e." (id est, 'that is to say') where you meant "e.g." (exempli gratia, 'for example'). There are also some "it's" for "its", but I thought you'd like me to point out the i.e. / e.g. thing because it really fundamentally changes the meaning.

What I'm less clear about is why you wrote ".02" in your edit summary but !voted option 1? If you think that it's in some ways biased and that there are some situations where its negative information should not be taken for a fact, it's a bit weird that you'd call it 'generally reliable for supporting statements of fact'. 'Additional considerations apply' seems more in line with what you're actually saying. Just wondering whether that was by mistake. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 22:05, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

• The .02 was supposed to be two cents. I plan on clarifying and adjusting my statement, likely tomorrow. I've put a lot of thought into it, and I'm not really comfortable with generally reliable. Real reliable sources have fact checkers, a strong editorial policy, or peer review. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:19, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
• (talk page watcher) I always wondered what "i.e" and "e.g." were short for and what they meant. I honestly thought "i.e" was short for "in example". ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 23:38, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Apaugasma, I made a clarifying statement. Does that make my stance more clear? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I think that's clearer. You didn't correct the i.e. instead of e.g. though ! Also, I'm not sure whether editors are comparing SI to a (academic) journal? Proponents seems to be rather representing it as a high-quality journalistic source, i.e., a magazine with quality content? Anyway, on that score your comparison with the NYT is spot on: from a journalistic perspective, SI is sensationalist in tone, and not particularly given to fact-checking.

I've said it before, but this would really be a no-brainer were it not for the fact that there's a particular type of WP:RGW (the 'good fight' against pseudoscience and quackery) for which WP editors are willingly maintaining a blind spot. I understand that in so far as pseudoscience is a type of misinformation, WP itself is vulnerable to it and in need of protection from it, but when the real-world fight against pseudoscience is being imported into WP, with WP becoming an instrument for that fight, things quickly become problematic.

Of course that's particularly important with regard to BLPs, but the whole anti- approach manifested in SI is not appropriate as secondary sourcing for any encyclopedic subject. This is true from the perspective of both tone and content: scientific scepticism does entail a number of philosophical starting positions which are not shared by all or even by most mainstream sources, and which as philosophical positions are quite independent of the anti-fringe position itself. For example, one does not need to be a logical positivist, as most scientific skeptics are, to not believe in extraterrestrial life or dowsing. Regardless of the merits of these philosophical positions, they should now be allowed to creep into WP content because of our purported need for partisan sources like SI to fend of fringe content. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 13:59, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

I leave mistakes I've made on talk pages so no one gets confused and thinks they're not talking to a big dummy. In the discussion there was discussion comparing it to journals and discussing their editorial policies, which is what I was referring to. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:04, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

As long as no one has replied it should create no confusion to redact comments, which is routinely done (see WP:REDACT). No worries though! I'm often experiencing real difficulties in differentiating between where I'm helpful and where I'm just a pain in the ass, especially in an online environment like this. I'm gonna take it I'm leaning to the wrong side here, so I'll apologize and leave you be. Happy editing! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 14:25, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

No need for apologies. Happy editing to you as well. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:29, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Rebroad. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Uğur Şahin, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Is it not NPOV to make the article state his beliefs when this cannot be proven.

American Siege has been released. You're welcome. El_C 01:52, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

You should know I only watch siege movies starting Steven Seagull. I did watch a recent Bruce Willis movie on Netflix where he traveled across the galaxy to kill aliens. Was about as good as that movie looks.

Why is every movie and reality show notable? Industry publications shouldn't contribute to notability for them, like we do with porn. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:59, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, yes, Under Siege was good. But have you seen Steven Seagal: LOLMan? El_C 02:05, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I have not, but what I really want to see is the Chinese action movie set in Africa he did with Mike Tyson. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:07, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Completely unrelated but I never knew you were a beekeeper. I'm terrified of bees (and wasps... and hornets... and everything that looks like it could attack me if I breathe the wrong way), however I find beekeeping interesting. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:04, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Try being covered in them while you pull their hive apart, or look up a video of "installing a package of bees." It's exciting. I also raise chickens, rabbits and quail. Eat fresh, as they say. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:09, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I had a pet rabbit back in the old country when I was like 8. He was white. I called him Mister Whitey (in English). Many adventures. El_C 02:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

If you're looking for a new rabbit, Yennefer of Hoppinberg and Triss Bunnygold should be having babies in the next day or so. The father is Geralt of Rabbita, a beautiful American Chinchilla. Yenn is an American Blue, and Triss is a Palomino. Beautiful crosses from them, and big! Geralt weighs in over 20lbs, and both of the does are pretty close to his size. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:02, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I've seen videos of people doing beekeeping with their hand beeing literally covered in bees. Chickens I can deal with and also rabbits (In fact I find rabbit delicious although I've only ever had it once). (also "beeing" was originally just a typo, but I kept it because it made for a brilliant pun) ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 02:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

The chickens are just for eggs, although I throw in with another farmer to purchase meat chickens from time to time, and help with the butchering to get my share. The quail are mostly for my wife, since they're not terribly efficient for either meat or eggs, but it is nice to have another homegrown meat option. The rabbits are incredibly efficient. With my two does and buck I'm able to raise well over 100lbs of rabbit meat per year, and that's the weight after dressing and butchering. Most efficient way to raise your own meat without having acres of pasture and maintaining a mile of fence. Their manure can also go directly into gardens as fertilizer, without needing to compost. They're like self-contained slow-release fertilizer pellets. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:08, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Exodus of Kashmir Hindus or Genocide

Why do you think it's not genocide? How do you define the word genocide? Atanu4ever (talk) 18:20, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

It doesn't matter how I define it, it matters how reliable sources define it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:21, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Which source are you referring to. Genocide seems to apply in the case of Kashmiri Hindus.

I have noticed that you have undid several edits which removed the word "Fictional" from the movie "The Kashmir Files" which ultimately has now been removed. However, the person who did remove the term (whose edits you and a few others undid multiple times) has now been banned. Something doesn't add up here.

not supported by cited sources

You just took back my posts for this reason. "not supported by cited sources."

1. Child soldiers were trained in these camps.

"The government continued to organize, arm and pay the Village Guards, a civil defence force numbering 60,000 and mainly concentrated in the south-east as part of its security operations there.19 It was not known whether there were under-18s in these paramilitary forces. It was not known how many PKK fighters were under 18. Recruitment of under-18s of both sexes had been reported in 2003.20 The PKK was believed to have used children in its forces since 1994, and was believed in 1998 to have had 3,000 child soldiers, more than 10 per cent of them girls, in its forces based in Iraq and operating in south-east Turkey.21 Some estimates put the number of PKK fighters in northern Iraq as high as 10,000, a third of them women.22 However, the Turkish military estimated that 3,800 were based in Iraq and that up to 2,300 were operating inside Turkey"

Mahsum Korkmaz Academy - Training It is estimated that about 10'000 militants underwent training in the years between 1986 and 1998 when the academy had to leave Syria and settled in Iraq.

2. The PKK took control of the region with these and similar camps and was controlling the drug traffic and making a profit.

source : https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/tocta/5.Heroin.pdf

"On some part of the Balkan route, organized crime and insurgency overlap, such as elements of the Kurdistan Workers` Party (PKK) who are reported to tax drug shipments crossing into Turkey from the Islamic Republic of Iran and, it is speculated, from Iraq. The PKK also reportedly collect taxes (or receive donations) from Kurdish heroin traffickers based in Europe.21 According to NATO intelligence analysts, the PKK pockets upwards of US$50 million to US$100 million annually from heroin trafficking alone. PKK involvement in the trade is further demonstrated by the 2008 arrest of several of its members in Europe on heroin trafficking charges."

source : https://www.treasury.gov/press-center/press-releases/Pages/tg318.aspx

Active in southeastern Turkey and northwestern Iraq, and supported by some of Europe's Kurdish community, the Kongra-Gel was designated as a significant foreign narcotics trafficker for its more than two decades-long participation in drug trafficking. The drug trade is one of the Kongra-Gel's most lucrative criminal activities. Nearly 300 individuals connected to the Kongra-Gel were arrested on drug trafficking charges from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, more than half of them in Germany. Such activity continues to this day; in 2007 and 2008, Turkish law enforcement seized a number of drug shipments and drug labs that belonged to the Kongra-Gel. The Kongra-Gel has also relied extensively on taxing drug shipments that move through its territory. Kongra-Gel has units on the borders of areas it controls to collect money from drug traffickers and a number of Turkish drug smugglers are reported to have given money to the organization.

Do you think the sources still do not support it?. How much more evidence is needed that child fighters are being abused? Are these sources unreliable?Dipnot1 (talk) 14:39, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

1) Doesn't mention Mahsum Korkmaz Academy

2) such as elements of the Kurdistan Workers` Party (PKK)' who are reported to tax drug shipments crossing into Turkey from the Islamic Republic of Iran and, it is speculated, from Iraq.

Yeah, I wanted to start cutting away, too, but it's like looking at a four acre field when all you have is an old scythe. It's hard to even decide where to start. This isn't even the worst I've seen.

Same here. This article got into my watchlist when I was reverting a vandal. But I got serious with its maintenance till I took a break in April last year. Would appreciate your help, thanks . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:40, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Red on the Outside, White on the In.

Being red on the outside camouflaging a white inside could get you killed in Finland between about 1905 and maybe 1947.

In Toronto, where I live, the Finnish community around Spadina was heartily Communist until the early 1950s. I assume that their redness faded somewhat as their Member of the then Legislative Assembly, Joey Salsberg, split from Stalin.

QWERTY

I disagree with your decisions of reverting editions of Kamilhrub and BlumenfeldS of new Polish keyboard layout. It's not autopromotion, it was opinion of only one user, Acro~plwiki, with nearly blank contribution history. [1] He also claimed that nobody (!) uses it, but he didn't prove it. In fact author (anonymous) got some thanks of content users of this layout. Author doesn't earn money on it, downloading of this layout on the website is free, so how can it be autopromotion? In other countries unusual keyboard layouts have descriptions, e.g. Albanian keyboard Plisi, also made by one man and linking to website very similar to Polish one. [2] Other layouts with own articles are Neo in Germany and Bépo in France (despite sentence "However, the use of the BÉPO layout, as well as that of the proposed new AZERTY layout, remained marginal.") [3], but no one wants to delete it, so I don't know why new Polish layout has to be treated differently. I'd be glad if users Kamilhrub and BlumenfeldS would be unbanned, they really did nothing wrong. Regards, --Qqq1000 (talk) 14:22, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

They're blocked due to socking, so that would be doing something wrong. Also, pointing out another editor's contributions when you have fewer than 30 doesn't really hold water. It certainly appeared to be an editor promoting an almost unused style of keyboard with a link to a personal site. It has been removed in the past as well. Re-adding it with no discussion, then re-adding it with a sock puppet is not the way to handle it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:47, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Earlier revert was justified by only two words "Not notable". I ask once again, what is the difference between this Polish layout and Plisi, Bépo and other rare layouts in Wikipedia, so it can't be again set in the article by anyone? --Qqq1000 (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

The big difference is there was an objection to one, but not the others. WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:58, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Objection of one user, from Poland. Objectively these layouts are very similar in all criterias: alternative to most used, in fact rarely used and have own website. --Qqq1000 (talk) 20:41, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Northern Ireland

Wow you should really research the political status of Northern Ireland and see how it's separate to Ireland/Republic of Ireland as your next primary school project. A raddish would give a more intelligent answer than what you gave but you're Scottish so I won't be too hard you. 2A00:23C7:ED18:A300:2C91:88D:C0F7:272A (talk) 09:10, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

My answer was a question, so I'm unsure what the problem is. Expecting every editor to be familiar with every political issue between countries seems a bit rough. I would have asked the same question if the situation were around Somalia and Somaliland, or Sudan and South Sudan. Did you know that in the border area between Cambodia and Thailand people will often identify by their style of cooking, rather than the country they technically live in? The world is a large and complex place, and expecting everyone to be familiar with what matters to you is going to lead to disappointment. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:46, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

But as you're apparently Scottish (a somewhat primitive people), shouldn't you know what countries make up the UK (that's a course, implying you're basically educated, which I doubt I must say). Will you admit to be being uninformed about Northern Ireland and Ireland? And don't try and mask your stupidity with irrelevant comments about other countries. 2.98.180.66 (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

IP, move along. We get it, you're smart. But you don't get to berate other contributors, even still. El_C 22:39, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Bed English

Forgot to mention, my bed is also black. Had to fix it a few months ago, btw. I used screws. El_C 18:27, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

El C, if you're interested I could email you some pictures of how a real root vegetable conducts their woodworking. I probably have near 80 hours of labor, mostly sanding and joinery, into it at this point. Right now I'm thinking about artistic flair I could add to the finished piece. Also, if you have the time, could you look at the section immediately above in an administrative capacity, and decide if it has any place in the encyclopedia. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:43, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Shit, I fucked up the bed england meme again! For sure, email away. One sec, I'll have a look. El_C 22:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I emailed you, but you'll have to email back too can send you a real email. I don't think there's much you'll be able to do, as the IP isn't static. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:38, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

 Done. El_C 22:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I sent some pictures, and a bonus rabbit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:45, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
