Six million

[edit]

I don't know if you remember it, but it looks like you are about to win Wikipedia:Six-million pool. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but if i get in a catastrophic test plane accident and have my legs, one arm, and one eye destroyed, I know what I am doing with $6,000,000. Gentlepersons, they can rebuild me. They have the technology. They have the capability to build the world's first bionic Wikipedian. Mercurywoodrose will be that editor. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster, with more reliable sources.
I figured I knew just enough about mathematics to make a somewhat accurate back of the napkin estimate for the date, factoring in a bit of the slowdown in new article creation, and believing that this downward trend in new articles would continue. I'm sure I must have done an actual calculation, but the methods I used would probably give an actual statistician apoplexy. It was a miseducated guess.
A team of editors with way too much time on their hands created an automation system for creating new Portals. What's a Portal, you ask? exactly... On a side note, the biggest change that did NOT occur is that the Deletionists and the Inclusionists are still engaged in a Manichean struggle, with neither side winning. The proof of this is that the number of articles has not gone to zero, decreased by a factor of Thanos, or expanded to infinity and beyond.
310. using created by me, and adding up the total articles by HAND. Computers! Ha! Who needs them! I did get into the top 400 editors by edit count, which of course is a meaningless measure, but it was fun while it lasted.
I cannot predict that, its beyond my processing capacity as a quasi-quantum computer, but I know what i would LIKE it to be. An article about ME, of course. Hopefully for something worthwhile, not notorious. First Wikipedian to be shot into the Sun for being too sarcastic? Well, that's sort of both...
I will answer with an entirely unrelated story: Paul Krassner, in his autobiography Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut, wrote about Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog confabulator, "He could be more of a minimalist than Bob Dylan. I told Brand about the time I went to hear Ram Dass speak, and in the audience a heckler shouted out his capsule critique, "Words!" I told Brand I later learned that the heckler had once ***** a goat. Brand scoffed, "Deeds!""
Aside from my own articles created during this time, of which my favorite subject is Jen Bartel (she rocks), I don't know. How about new articles on things i like? My first thought, I really loved Joker. That article was created, oh, wow, on my birthday! I didn't expect that!.
I'm a little sad that new editors will be facing an ever more complete work, with fewer areas to expand without being an expert. Perhaps we should consider erasing Wikipedia every few decades, and recreating it from scratch, to give new editors that initial experience of joy and wonder that they can be part of this, not just an observer, by clicking that innocent little "edit" tab. But maybe there is hope, maybe that sense of wonder will persist into the future. I know I fell in love with Wikipedia, and while I'm no longer obsessed with editing, I may fall in love all over again.

Thanks,

Just a warning

[edit]

Some people are expressing concerns (a concern I share) about the content of your user page, which seems to have several sections which run afoul of WP:POLEMIC and WP:BLP in particular. Perhaps you could review what you have there, and take down anything which could be viewed as unhelpful in the light of those policies. Thanks. --Jayron32 15:26, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

will do. give me a bit of time please, but i will remove at least the obvious personal statements.i was not aware of that policy, though i probably could have discerned it.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 15:58, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Simon Chimbetu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Founder. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Silicon Valley Community Foundation Edit Requests

[edit]

Hello User:Mercurywoodrose:

I work at the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and was wondering if you might consider helping me with some updates to the page. I understand I am in a conflict of interest relationship with SVCF and respect the related Wikipedia rules to not edit the page directly. Given you are a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject California/San Francisco Bay Area task force, I was wondering if you might find it a good use of your time to go over to the foundation’s talk page to review my proposed edits. I appreciate your time and any feedback you may have for me. Thank you and best David svcf (talk) 17:45, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The file File:Elbert Benjamine AKA C. C. Zain.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:DECORATIVE non-free use in Church of Light#Brotherhood of Light which doesn't really meet WP:NFCC#8. This file was originally being used a stand-alone article about Benjamine/Zain in C.C. Zain, but that article was merged into the one about "Church of Light" per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C. C. Zain. Most as part of the merge related cleanup, the image was also simply moved to "Church of Light" as well, but that completely changes the justification for the file's non-free use. Generally, a non-free image of a deceased person is often allowed when the image is used for primary identification purposes in the main infobox or at the top of a stand-alone article about the deceased because the entire article is about the deceased and this usually considered sufficient to meet WP:NFC#CS and long as the remaining nine non-free content use criteria are all also satisfied. However, moving the image to another article, particularly to an in-body section, completely changes the justification for the file's non-free use and in such cases a much stronger justification (e.g. actual critical commentary obout the image itself) is considered necessary than simply wanting to show the individual in question. There's nothing really in article about Benjamine/Zain in the article about the church that reqiures the reader actually see this particular image. It's nice perhaps, but not needed to understand anything written in the article; therefore, using it doesn't really significantly improve the reader's understand to such a degree that not seeing it would be detrimental to that understanding.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:42, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
