Notification about knight of faith

Just wanted to let you know that an editor contested this WP:BLAR. I think BLAR'ing was the right call and the edit summary the reverter used misleadingly claimed the BLAR was "vandalism", but I wasn't comfortable about bringing this all the way back to a redirect because I felt I was missing some context, behind a potential WP:GOCE task that this article seems to have been affected by, and wanted to send a secondary message here to inform you that this occurred. The BLAR reversion was done manually so I don't think a notification was sent when it happened on the 10th, but I could be wrong. Cheers! Utopes (talk / cont) 03:29, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Garff has it on pages 261–263. Simply going by how many more pages there are in the index for at least two "knight of faith" sub-entries, Hanson 2017 seems a good bet as a source. Hey! IUP again, Doktoro. It isn't half getting around at the moment. Although they do appear to have let some phenomenal cat from Harvard write this book.

You and Utopes owe me for protecting you from more of 11614soup's long original analysis rambles about Kierkegaard, at Four Upbuilding Discourses, 1843 (AfD discussion).

GNIS "unincorporated community" bilgewater, bellywash, and bosh

It is important to know that this is not Jay City, Indiana, Doktoro, but more properly the bridge over the Wabash that separates it from the better documented New Corydon, Indiana. Visibly, there is not a city on this bridge.

It's the little things, Doktoro.

Main page: User talk:Drmies/Archive 151 § Onions!

It is good to see you getting involved in the long tail of geographic lies that infest our encyclopaedia, Doktoro, even if I suspect that you are only here because you are scanning the reference work for dirty pictures.

However, I do think that your inestimable skills are better served approving the onion railway submission here at articles for creation so that people can redirect some of this litany of hokum, hogwash, and horse feathers to it. I'll read chapter 5 of the Arcadia Book on Clark County.

I just have a few not-in-the-Hendricks-county-history false "communities" in Jefferson County, Indiana left to triage.

  • I know you're using me as an intermediary to clear your tracks (get it), but everyone can tell this is you: the sfn stuff (OK, I did that too, but just once or twice], the Flickr linkdump, the Further reading section--it's obvious. Thanks for the instructions too, very kind. Have fun with Clark County: I'll look it up after I get my car serviced at Dick's Garage. Drmies (talk) 15:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • I couldn't get that garage for you, Doktoro. Not even its own WWW site claims that that is where it is, ironically. But it does seem that there's a little to write about three short roads forming a 110 by 130 metres (120 by 140 yd) rectangle in the middle of fields.

      Mangoe would have been all over Melham, South Dakota, but I got there first. That one was harder. I am convinced that its coördinates are wrong, since every source that I have has it on the Great Northern Railway which is not where its coördinates lead, but unhelpfully (and the reason that Mangoe would have really enjoyed that one) there is (fortunately, verifiably) nothing remaining there, it being literally a pin in the middle of an open field, and it is not on any 20th century map at all since 1953.

      This is why you get the interesting AFC work like onion railroads written up by journalists in IUP books, Doktoro. There is such a long tail here.

      Uncle G (talk) 21:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be confused with Kurkureusu [kk] a village and KTZ railway station next to the river.

The Kurkureu-Suu (Куркуреу су on Soviet-era maps) is a river originating in the Kyrgyz Republic that is in the basin of the Talas river but that does not connect to it.[1] It is a transboundary river, shared administratively between the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan into which it flows.[1]

Hydrology

Course

The river forms in Kyrgyz mountains on the northern slopes of Talas Ala-Too, running down a gorge and through the Kara-Too ridge, to merge with a tributary of the Ters to form the Asa on the plains of Kazakhstan.[1] The Asa then runs north, turning westwards close to Taraz, to flow into Lake Bilyukol.[1]

Classification and measurements

It is a Tien Shan type of river, with its high water phase in March–September and low-water phase in October–February.[1] It is fed by ice-snow run-off from the mountains, and was catalogued by the Soviet Union in the 1970s as having a 3% glaciation area, i.e. 13.6 square kilometres (5.3 sq mi).[1]

Its annual discharge rate has risen since the 1970s soviet measurements, which were 6.19 cubic metres per second (219 cu ft/s) in the 1927–1972 period and are more recently 7.11 cubic metres per second (251 cu ft/s) in the 2001–2017 period.[2]

Administration

The original agreement covering the administration of the river was the Soviet-era Regulation on Water Sharing Between the Kazakh SSR and Kirgiz SSR for the Talas, Kurkureu-Su, and Aspara Rivers, enacted in 1942.[3] It controlled the share of the river between what were then Soviet republics.[3]

The river, the surrounding area, and Sheker were settings for the early works of Kyrgyz author Chinghiz Aitmatov.[4][5]

Well, the country's flag was red.

Larisa Iosifovna Lebedeva (Лебедева, Лариса Иосифовна) née Kandyba (Кандыба) was a Russian literary critic.[1]

Life

Born on 1928-02-29 in Moscow, Lebdeva graduated from Moscow State University in 1951.[1] She was a member of the Union of Soviet Writers from 1988, and member of the Union of Soviet Journalists [uk] from 1957.[1]

She worked at ЛГ magazine from 1954 to 1957, on ДН magazine from then until 1961, at the USSR Institute of linguistics from then until 1964, and at ХЛ from then until 1971. Her longest position was working for the Great Soviet Encyclopaedia from 1971 to 1991, from which she went on to work at Centrepolygraph [ru] in 1992, and finally for OLMA Press in 2000.[1]

Penis saint … or geography of the Kyrgyz Republic ?

Ters
Geography
CountryKyrgyz Republic

Ters (Терс) is a mountain in the west of the Kyrgyz Republic, between the Ters and Chatkal rivers.[1] It is 30 kilometres (19 mi) long running roughly south-west to north-east, and between 13 and 15 kilometres (8.1 and 9.3 mi) wide.[1]

The Chaktal side slopes whereas the Ters side is the steeper, with a gorge-like valley.[1] The mountain is mostly crystalline granite, with intrusions of Carboniferous granite-diorite and granite-syenite rock.[1]

It is between 3,000 and 3,300 metres (3,300 and 3,600 yd) high, its highest point being 3,890 metres (4,250 yd).[1] Up to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) it is covered in field and meadow steppe, meadow and forest bush above that to 2,800 metres (9,200 ft), and above that tall grass meadow and alpine meadow.[1]

This would have been within your bailiwick, Doktoro, as the GNIS mess has hit one of your interests; albeit in some far away place. However, I have taken it on for you, so that you have the spare time for turning penises into geography. Uncle G (talk) 09:07, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know if there are cabins in that village. Translating those few sentences is nothing, but translating that infobox etc., that will take me forever, so I'll leave that to an expert. Thank you for clearing up Ters. I'll have a look at that saint--but you know, Clifford is actually really interesting. Oh, Friday I'm presenting at a conference on that Beauvoir Club, where you helped me out with some of the famous people. I actually went to the Country Club a week or two ago--I kind of felt like a white subaltern. Drmies (talk) 15:37, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Ters" is really poorly attested, from what I've seen so far. I have asked Wouk for a copy of his article. Drmies (talk) 15:52, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Peaches!

Very sensibly, the Alabarmians have prevented access to the Maplesville Depot by train, with a big fence.
See also: User talk:Drmies/Archive 151 § Onions!, User talk:Drmies/Archive 146 § Beavers, and User talk:Drmies/Archive 123 § Some baklava for you!

Although I have found for you a picture book that has an entire chapter about this (and two other chapters with the titles "Peach Capital" and "Reconstruction County"), I want you to ignore that, Doktoro. Do not get distracted by pictures, peaches, or Reconstruction.

Instead, if you want to impress the Alabarmy youth and get more of that youth cred, there's a whole historic railway depot section missing from the article. The youth of today want to know how the youth of a century ago took the railroad to skool (unlike how you swam to skool, yourself, as the lurkers will remember you relating). You will know when you're at the right sources when you find Danno Williams.

Uncle G (talk) 08:38, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The The Town and The People book is by two United Daughters of the Whatsit, and one of the lurkers or someone else will have to find out what and where the Alabarmy State Library is and extract the page numbers from it, and see what it says about very dead people.

I have also left you with the Old Southern Depot source to use. Try to ignore the fact that it incorrectly connects to the wrong Cuba.

In the meantime, Doktoro, I have been reminded of your liking for quiet calming furniture subjects, bringing peace in world full of checkuserering and staring at your socks. It's not quite furniture, but one of the sources that I pulled up has a subject that we seem to be missing. I shall see whether I can find a second source.

A question

Hi Drmies. I was just wondering if any run of the mill editor can remove a derogatory statement from another user page? The statement about Bagumba is uncalled for and there seems to be a history brewing with editors who don't agree with User:GOAT_Bones231012. Btw, we were both mentioned on his Wall of Shame not too long ago. Any words to prevent me from a future block are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Beware of the Haters and Wikipedia Mafia:

Completely unrelated to the above, please see below list of random users:

No, thank you. If you want, you could paste my message on my talk page .. no need for you to keep this garbage. I'll keep a civil tongue if this comes back to me. I truly appreciate your help. Regards, John. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:39, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This was way out of control. I honestly want to know if I would have been blocked earlier, if I did such a thing. I've seen lesser crimes and editors are no longer here. At least three admins were listed on his page, that's a no-no in my book. Sorry if I raised your blood pressure with my messages, but I do appreciate everything that you did and are still doing.

LOL, sounds good. Thanks again. - Bringingthewood (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Bagumba! I'm presuming that you know that Kate DiCamillo turned Gilligan's Island into a minced oath in Flora and Ulysses. Someone must have mentioned it. I cannot be in the vanguard on this given that it's actually used as a punctuation example in teachers' guides to the book from 11 years ago. Doktoro is definitely not in the vanguard on these things, despite our collective, continued, and heroic efforts here to provide xem with youth cred. So there's going to be a whole generation of the youth of today, of a certain school age, before they learn the real words. On the other hand, you can claim to be holy, and {{cite YouTube}} as your source if anyone challenges that. ☺

Now, I have to get back to Marshall Fields and what to do about the Vida Lumber Company, a calming pre-furniture subject for Doktoro.

Uncle G (talk) 11:30, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bloody Tebbel has me pluralizing Field's surname. But I have finally got there. I thought of the furniture-inspired calmness that you would feel, Doktoro, seeing me cite American Cabinetmaker and Upholsterer. Uncle G (talk) 11:24, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is like a good book, right?

We have the English Professor Vacuum maintaining its continual inward suction by having a complete absence of any English professors whatsoever here, Doktoro, but I am thinking at the moment that it would be unwise to do the same for philosophy professors. Stick a handful of them into a room and ask them what a book is, and they'll come up with three competing schools of thought all with their own -isms and -ists, a solemn explanation of the ontology of an abstract manifold of a set of leaf-forms carrying signifiers for a social construct of lexemes, several critiques pointing out that sets are not ordered, and at least one rebel explaining that everyone else is wrong because they all forgot that books can have pictures.

All that said, John M. Ellis is a German professor.
