QWERTY edit

Thank you for your edit to QWERTY. You did not write it I know, but can you check the sentence that says to enter "Ź", one can type Shift+AltGr+X with Caps Lock off, or turn on Caps Lock and type AltGr+X. Should it read AltGr+Z?

Also, if everyone uses a US layout, how can it have an AltGr key, which doesn't exist in US layout? Thanks. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 07:56, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

In fact, the sentence is correct. AltGr + Z produces Ż. By "AltGr", I assume the sentence means "the rightmost Alt key", which is called AltGr on Chromebooks and some Windows devices. Maxipups Mamsipupsovich (talk) 10:58, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Red vs. Blue edit

"Blue username > Red username"

Aha, I've got you there!

Red username < Blue username < G r e e n . u s e r n a m e

This post was made by Green Username Gang

(Also, you're quite correct, language is only a fad in the cosmological sense, where humanity itself is just a fad)

Yours with love, Joe (talk) 04:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Do you know what else is just a fad? Green usernames. Blue username >>> Green username.
Hey, Max's mum here. He's just insecure about the colour of his username and is envious of people with green usernames. Go easy on him. Maxipups Mamsipupsovich (talk) 06:13, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

R and I issues edit

Hello,

I'm not sure if you noticed my ping yesterday, but I would I like your input in the discussion here: [1]

Aside from you, there are at least six other editors who have been trying to deal with similar issues on these articles over the past few months. You can see some of the past discussions about these issues here: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] All of the discussions about misrepresented sources were shut down before they could reach a meaningful conclusion, but reading them is useful to understand the background.

In the current discussion (the first one I linked to, in Stonkaments' user talk) the thing we're trying to decide is how to approach this issue going forward. Two options being considered are to nominate the FAQ for deletion, or to request an arbitration case. My preference would be for an arbitration case, but not everyone else there agrees. If you have an opinion about that, it would be valuable for you to offer it there. Gardenofaleph (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

You're right, I didn't notice it. I'll take a look. Maxipups Mamsipupsovich (talk) 22:14, 21 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Blocked as a sockpuppet edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Oldstone James per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Oldstone James. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 23:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Just note that, in my 1 year of editing from this account, I have significantly improved numerous articles, most notably Chess, but also others such as Grotesque (chess) and Romantic chess; made what must be thousands of necessary copyedits that would've likely never been made had I not created this sockpuppet, leaving hundreds of articles with SPAG errors; and have caused 0 disruption. Not a single edit-war, not even a single re-revert, no filibustering on the talk page ─ hell, not even a hint of conflict on the talk page of any article other than R&I (and even on that page, I escaped the conflict about as quickly as it arose) ─ nothing that could be possibly construed as POV-pushing (even on R&I, I made a deliberate effort to engage in exclusively those discussions that were based around raw logic and were free of subjective interpretation). Just makes you think about how much of a service you are really doing to Wikipedia by blocking me. If there is anyone who genuinely believes that this account has brought net harm to Wikipedia and that this block only serves to protect it from this account, I'd like to have a long conversation with that person, because I cannot fathom how anyone could possibly think that. Don't count this as an appeal, because I know how things work around here now ─ if you didn't make it into the good books of the "experienced editors", there's nothing you can ever do to make them change their minds about you. Even if it appears that they have changed their mind about you, like in the case of Guy Macon, they will still turn their backs right on you after the first instance of human error on your part. Like, I literally got topic-banned on creationism for creationist POV-pushing, and I run a blog on atheism, including anti-creationism. If those are the lengths of absurdity to which these editors will go to get rid of people who don't agree with them, then there is no amount of evidence that I can provide that will make any form of appeal successful. But still, whoever is reading this, I just want you to ask yourself if you truly believe your decision to keep me blocked is in the benefit of Wikipedia. Somehow, I doubt that you do. Maxipups Mamsipupsovich (talk) 02:08, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Yes, I believe that declining to unblock a sock account of a user who is willing to disregard Wikipedia policy when they find it inconvenient benefits Wikipedia. It's not about getting rid of you and most of us are willing to forgive actual mistakes. But you make it harder to do that with every sock account. Either you will keep socking and none of this matters, or you should work to have your original account unblocked. Either way, there is no reason to remove this block, and as such I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:11, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
