Quote:

The temptation to edit war or throw bane accusations at times is so great. How dare another editor revert my edits or dare to contradict me? The chakras are disturbed, the body seething in anger. Such are the animal impulses of human nature that need to be under control. Let patience, diplomacy, cool reasoning, and proper process win the day. Thinker78 (talk)

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nightenbelle&diff=prev&oldid=1114711847 "conspiracy theorist"

Wow, personal attacks from an established editor. One thing I can advise you about User:Jasonkwe, if you are established editor with a certain point of view (POV) personal attacks are ignored :)

Nightenbelle, what part of my edits to say, Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, thus far are "Not here to build an encyclopedia". WP:NOTHERE

Just because my facts doesn't match yours, does not make me a "conspiracy theorist". I mentioned the The Shock Doctrine - (watch the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3B5qt6gsxY&t=703s ) here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1114577910 It is painful to watch the first 9/11 in 1973 ( 1973 Chilean coup d'état ) but realizing you have a problem is the first step toward recovery, (and reconciliation). The Germans and Japan did it after World War 2, the USSR did in 1991, and I hope soon the US does too.

By all statistical measures which no one can dispute, the United States is internationally the most violent country in the world today. With 800 military bases, proxy wars in a variety of countries, only 17 years in its entire history where it was not at war, the successful genocide of the Native American (which Hitler studied), and a military industrial complex that spends more money then the top 10 countries combined. If you support this country, what does it make you User:Nightenbelle?

I understand, it is hard to accept facts that do not build upon your own worldview, in fact it is actually physcially painful. It has been for me. Adam Ruins Everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8NydsXl32s It is much easier, but much more intellectually indolent, to just dismiss someone elses facts as garbage. :)

I have "ranted" enough, cause that is what you will call it.... :) Have a great weekend Jasonkwe and Nightenbelle. Cheers

Hello, is there currently a database of authors and publishers who approve quotes on Wikipedia? If not, can it be created?

Disambiguation link notification for October 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Lloyd. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQTemplate:* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Oligarchy and MSNBC

MSNBC is a mouthpiece of the United States Government, just as CNN, Fox News, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. MSNBC is just worse at it then the other two. The link between private and public institutions is used as plausible deniability. Scientifically, the United States of America is an oligarchy, according to Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B "The preferences of rich people had a much bigger impact on subsequent policy decisions than the views of middle-income and poor Americans. Indeed, the opinions of lower-income groups, and the interest groups that represent them, appear to have little or no independent impact on policy." https://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/is-america-an-oligarchy When the average member of the collective west thinks "oligarchy" they think "Russia", which, scientifically is true because the United States created Russia in the 1991 using Disaster Capitalism first brandished on the first September 11, 1973, with the 1973 Chilean coup d'état.

Oligarchy issue aside, your Russia comment is nuts. Doug Weller talk 07:31, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Doug. :) I replied on your talk page. More people need to know the reality. May1787 (talk) 01:47, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

MSNBC Talk page & DRN

25px Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generali{{#switch:{{{sp}}}|us=z|uk=s|#default=s}}ation, other talk pages are strictly for discussing the topic of their associated main pages and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about unrelated topics. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

Thanks i replied on your talk page.

Duran

Please note that disambiguation pages like Duran are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 23:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Template:Tl template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
