05:04, 17 February 2025 (UTC) fill out your thing at WP:REFLECTIONS – House Blaster (talk • he/they)

Your name came up

And I don't want to talk about you behind your back. Feel free to ignore Template_talk:Press#Does_Anti-Defamation_League,_specifically_Editing_for_Hate:_How_Anti-Israel_and_Anti-Jewish_Bias_Undermines_Wikipedia’s_Neutrality_fit_in_this_template?, it'll probably improve your weekend. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:35, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, Gråbergs Gråa Sång :) without wading into that discussion too directly, I guess what I'd say is that {{Press}} doesn't necessarily imply that a source is reliable, important, whatever, but it does imply that we cared enough to put it in a talk page box. So I don't think it makes sense include sources in {{Press}} if we don't actually care about them, like Medium blogs or whatever. I don't know why we'd care about a source that isn't notable, isn't reliable, and doesn't impact our discussion of coverage in any way. Where the ADL lands on all of that, or whether it even counts as "media organization"... I'll leave that to smarter people than me to figure out :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 08:05, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying! On our Sheldrake discussion, my motivation for adding it was partly a "heads up, there might by newbies with an attitude coming here", but TBH, also that the article was hilarious. From a vaguely NPOV-whatever, I sometimes enjoy adding a non-WP view in these templates. Occasionally, those too inspires productive edits. I think the closer's statement was reasonable, it was a borderline thing.

The ADL, however, is not hilarious, it's potentially problematic for several reasons, political and otherwise. And since it's in the Wikipedia and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict area, there might be some passion. Have a nice weekend! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:23, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of hilarious, Jeep ducking was pretty funny. Ever hear of Roundabout dogs? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:10, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jeep ducking is fantastic

never heard of roundabout dogs, but I love that too! I see and raise you Gävle goat. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:54, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I dragged you ladies into a mess this morning, but sometimes examples make themself. They did all the work although I certainly spent a boring two hours of reading to get all the diffs. I decided I wasn't going to let this disrupter go quietly. BusterD (talk) 21:58, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Now go block yourself for misgendering. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:10, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry! What an asshole! BusterD (talk) 23:38, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We all fall short of the glory... BusterD (talk) 23:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

galliumbot user agent

vandyke pretends to be chrome. it's not a good idea to copy a browser's user agent. 216.58.24.27 (talk) 14:24, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for maintaining Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics/Monthly DYK pageview leaders and co! I saw this section and wanted to reiterate what 216 said. There should be no need to spoof browser user-agents (I'm slightly curious why you did so in the first place).

Setting something like en:User:GalliumBot/vandyke would be totally fine, the main thing is that it gives enough detail on what bot/script is running so that people can find you if there's any issue. Legoktm (talk) 15:46, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, 216 and Lego! you're totally right, that was just kind of something i threw in because i needed to put something there. i'll get around to fixing that soonish :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lol

My favorite April Fools Day gag so far. A "secret fourth thing" is hilarious. Good one! Panini! • 🥪 05:53, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
