Cumulus Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media edit

Would it possible to publish this draft? The Cumulus Association. -Teemu — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teemu (talkcontribs) 14:06, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary new headline “Cumulus, the International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design and Media” removed.

Hi Sebastian,

I have tried to pin you in here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Cumulus,_the_International_Association_of_Universities_and_Colleges_of_Art,_Design_and_Media

Would be possible to rename the article to be "Cumulus Association" and change the status of "draft"? Teemu (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please leave me out of this. When I read your last message, I went to the page you linked to, only to find that you didn't even acknowledge the concerns raised on the talk page, let alone fix them. If you think you can just sit out problems and then get your way by “pinning” (or nagging) people, you're mistaken. ◅ Sebastian 14:30, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

"History of" articles edit

Hi Sebastian, there is an RFC at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section#RfC:_MOS:LEADSENTENCE_in_"History_of_X"_articles. I noticed that many years ago you added a section on this topic in this edit [1]. If you have a few minutes to comment at the RFC it would be very helpful. Onceinawhile (talk) 09:44, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Oh, that was long ago. I added the section fifteen years ago because I felt a similar need as you do now. Back then things were easier; it was more acceptable to do such edits BOLDly directly in the project page. Still, the section was removed to the talk page five weeks later and now rests in the archive here. If I felt that need now, I would simply add a normal discussion to the MOS talk page. Why did you choose to make it an RfC? It seems that added an urgency that was ill received. I would also be curious to know how the situation now compares with that of 15 years ago. How many of the introductions I listed back then still remain basically as they were then, and how has the form of the introduction evolved generally? ◅ Sebastian 13:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

A beer for you! edit

  Thank you for patrolling ANI! Lev¡vich 17:23, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! Nowadays, I rarely drink beer anymore, but now I opened a special one for the occasion, with sliced and salted white reddish the Bavarian way. Prost! ◅ Sebastian 20:07, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Incident closure edit

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.



I accidentally replied in the incident discussion even though you had already closed it. I reverted it, and here is what I said:

SEP is not a physical book. I have primarily relied on Adamson (2015), which Teishin also has access to. I find this a very problematic change to the proposal you made last night. I don't think we should limit Wikipedia's reliable source policy. Keepcalmandchill (talk) 23:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Got it, thanks. I am copying your message to User:SebastianHelm/Philosophy so we can discuss it further there. ◅ Sebastian 09:07, 25 November 2020 (UTC) Sorry, only saved now – I had forgotten to hit the “Publish changes” button yesterday.Reply

Potential ignorance of AP2 topic ban edit

Hello! I was checking my watchlist and realized someone made an edit to Park51. I then realized this user had a topic ban on AP2 from their talk page. Their history looks like they could have potentially ignored the topic ban enforced on them especially in the context on what was added to the articles in question. For instance, this edit especially as it seems like tiptoeing on a tightrope on their topic ban. – The Grid (talk) 06:22, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Good call. I left a message on the UP. ◅ Sebastian 10:05, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Happy holidays edit

Great to see you back in action.Kanatonian (talk) 05:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your good wishes – the same to you! Not sure how much I will allow Wikipediholism to grab me again this time. But it's great to see you're still around, too. Since you now appear to be particularly interested in the early trade between the Mediterranean and South India, I have a book recommendation for you: In an Antique Land, which I enjoyed very much as an audiobook. ◅ Sebastian 10:33, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I too don't allow Wikipedia to pull me away from real life, I try to stick to one article a quarter or in 6 months, there were years when I went without any editing. Thank you and I will check that book. Kanatonian (talk) 17:25, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Meh edit

I think you owe me a beer. :P See my talk page. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:41, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I do. How about the one Levivich gave me above? It still looks as good as new. :-P But seriously, thank you for speaking up for me. I already had started doubting if even the limited block I had intended was the right thing to do, so it's good to have a second opinion. It seems we live in the same country, so, when COVID-19 is over, there's a chance for the beer to materialize. Maybe I should come to your area, where the beers are smaller. ;-) ◅ Sebastian 21:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Count me in! Touché regarding the beer sizes.   ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
There's actually a story behind the beer sizes: When the bass player of our high school band [[Squeeze Box (band)]] moved to NRW, the composed the title “Kleine Biere”, which became a local success in the Aachen bar where they performed. ◅ Sebastian 13:57, 31 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
