Per what has happened at Hybrid roller coaster and Attack on HMS Invincible, I would politely ask that you be more selective on what you choose to add to "Further reading" sections. - Indy beetle ( talk) 01:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Given what happened, why are you here?

I think we should err on the side of helping readers. Too much context, not too little. WP:Not paper. And I am selective. I haven't edit warred. And they destroyed Attack on HMS Invincible.

In July of last year, you edited the article on the American Hairless Terrier to say that one such dog killed 2501 rats within a seven-hour period in one barn, and cited a source.

This is a ludicrous number, as it would require the dog to have killed a rat every ten seconds for seven hours nonstop. Since I assume you have the physical book, could you double-check? Perhaps you mistranscribed the figure. DS ( talk) 04:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

I am sorry you don't like the number. I had the same reaction you did. But that's what it says. WP:Verifiability not WP:Truth. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 16:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

I did not make a mistake. And I did not make up the number.

In conjunction with the American rat terrier it is reported that one of the sports of owning them was making competitive wagers about whose dog could kill the most mice or rats within a given time. One terrier was released into a barn, and in 7 hours it killed 2501 rats in a single barn. ^[1] 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 20:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello 7&6=thirteen, I use also Hyphenator for ISBN's. I decided to deactivate "Convert ISBN10 to ISBN13", because WP:ISBNs states: "However, if an older work only lists an ISBN-10, use that in citations instead of calculating an ISBN-13 for it." Grimes2 ( talk) 19:07, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for your improvements to the Mustankallio water tower article. I saw a photo of it somewhere and was glad I was able to pull together just about enough information to start an article. There's tons of interesting water towers in Finland on Commons and the vast majority have no article on English Wikipedia - Dumelow ( talk) 17:37, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Glad you noticed. You had a good start, and I was able to polish it up and add some text, concepts, references, external links. I do think they improved it.

This article is now the gold standard for Finnish water towers. Not that anybody else cares.

Kuwait Water Towers is another group of towers that needs improvement and pictures. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Sorry that you found that offensive.

I find my involvement in this continuing brouhaha to be offensive. These folks are just doing an end around do-over because they don't like some outcomes at AFD.

@ 7&6=thirteen: I respectfully request that you remove or strike your recent negative comment ("Of course, the folks who proposed this could have helped improve it too.") from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seed-counting machine. I spent several hours on this project, edited the article 5 times (which is easily discoverable from the edit history) including adding an infobox, a template, a category, and two more photographs I found. I cleaned up all of the citations (after actually reading them), created the talk page, added notes for future article improvement, and also linked to the article from two other articles. I had originally discovered this article because it was tagged as an orphan and I was cruisin' the orphan list. It was in such a sorry state when I came across it, that it would have been blanked had I removed all the policy/guideline violations, and I couldn't find anything in Wikipedia which came even close to touching on the subject in order to un-orphan it. The ARS group saw some potential, TNTed the article, and has fabulously turned it into something of value. Yes, I contributed to the edit-fest, so your 'unflattering' comment was uncalled for. Your other comment "kind of like getting a vaccine, I suppose" was also off-color and inappropriate. I see you noticed that I had already withdrawn the AfD, so why dig at me on the record? Please just remove or strike the comment from the AfD. Platonk ( talk) 20:59, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, 7&6=thirteen, for listening to my concerns and promptly correcting the record. Platonk ( talk) 21:33, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

Sigh. Here Riding a rail. A story attributed to Abraham Lincoln has him quoting a victim of being ridden out of town on a rail as having said, "If it weren't for the honor of the thing, I'd just as soon it happened to someone else." ^[1]

Seriously. Walls of text on this project and various editors. An existential attack on WP:ARS. Review and comment if you will.

You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Conduct at Articles for Deletion and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only.

An arbitration request that you are party to, Conduct in Articles for Deletion, has been declined by the Arbitration Committee. The arbitrators felt that the community had made progress toward resolving the dispute in the recently-closed ANI thread, making arbitration unnecessary at this time.

Since you notified some of the editors who participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arabeyes of the new AfD, you should notify all of them. Schazjmd  (talk) 17:05, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

You didn't notify T-rex or Thumperward (the nominator). Since they were the editors in favor of deletion on the previous AfD, it appears to violate WP:Canvassing that you didn't notify them as well. Schazjmd  (talk) 17:20, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Okay, you apparently can't fix it. Or choose not to. Your call.

While we are talking about fixing the process, that burden should be on the renominator. That did not happen. Coincidence? That is inherently canvassing by omission. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:25, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

'Do not delete other people's comments in AfD discussions, this is inexcusable.' MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:22, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

User:MrsSnoozyTurtle It was an unintended error. You reverted it, and also my attempt just to reformat your collapse of the discussion – something you now disregard.

I apologize. I don't expect you to accept that; you continue with the unremitting and open hostility. No point in trying to paper that over.

Your use of the template only proves my point: using a shotgun to kill fleas. It is a severe overreaction.

Happy holidays. Regards, 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 11:28, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I now believe you that it was accidental.

...However any sincerity to your apology is destroyed by the WP:BATTLEGROUND attitude in the rest of your message.

Also the whole episode with the collapsing has been very frustrating. I collapsed the replies (same as has been done many times in discussions by your ARS buddies) purely to remove the distraction, because the discussion turned out to be not specific to the AfD in question. But then suddenly you're throwing accusations of "bowdlerizing" (whatever that means) at me. And your edit summary of "You don't get to highlight your attack and hide my response" is a big leap of bad faith and misrepresenting the situation. MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy ( talk) 20:19, 26 December 2021 (UTC) Moral lesson: John Vanderlyn was an American painter who studied in Paris, and his life-sized Ariadne Asleep on the Island of Naxos was one of the first large nudes exhibited in the United States. Peddling the poison as well as the cure, this overtly sensuous work was presented to the public as a moral lesson on the consequences of lascivious behavior. Visible in the distance is the ship of Princess Ariadne's secret lover, Theseus, for whom she has betrayed her people by helping him to escape the Labyrinth and slay the Minotaur. Ariadne's bliss will come to an end when she awakens from her post-coital reverie, only to discover that the faithless Theseus has sailed away without her.

I can see how they would have thought that, just seeing the edit summary. Looks like it's sorted now, but I'm surprised it took that long. Do you now have the record for "most time's wrongly blocked as a compromised account?" Seems like that's worthy of a userbox or something. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 18:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I took a break for ten minutes because I kept edit-conflicting, but I'll outline my thought process:

• At the time I saw the ANI thread, the post there had already been redacted.
• I saw a reference to "posting on Oshwah's talk page", but no indication 7&6=13 had edited there, so didn't understand what that was about
• I noticed the account was blocked for "disruptive editing", which was inappropriate either for a compromised account (which should be indef blocked pending review) or a not-at-all-compromised account (which mandates a discussion and reasoning)
• Having looked at the redacted post (which admins can do), it looked so completely out of character for anything 7&6=13 would write, that I had reasonable enough suspicion that the account was compromised, and blocked a safety precaution, immediately broadcasting out to any checkuser who was about to confirm and reverse the block if necessary.
• A checkuser promptly turned up, concluding there was no compromised account, and unblocked - as I had already asked to happen if that were the case.

Thank you. I usually (and actually did) ask admins or the foundation to correct these problems (through emails). Streisand effect and all that. I am sorry I went to WP:ANI. I thought pulling the fire alarm was appropriate; this user and his account name upset me. And User:Oshwah has always been a force for good here.

In any event, lesson learned. WP:ANI is not my friend; use at your own risk. I should not have quoted the offending text. WP:REVDELREQUEST is good advice.

No good deed goes unpunished. I've never been properly blocked for any reason. 14 years and 140+ k in edits would seem to deserve something other than this preemptive strike. Oh well. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 18:48, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I notice that one of the unblocks was marked as "apparently issue has been diffused on user's talk page". WP:KABLAM. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about your experience, and apologies for blocking you so hastily; I was concerned that your account might have been compromised, and wanted a breathing space to let others check things out after raising the alarm at WP:AN/I. I'm glad your account was not compromised, and happy you're unblocked again. -- The Anome ( talk) 21:30, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Please do not repeat personal attacks and trolling on such a high visibility page. The troll has been indeffed. Cullen328 ( talk) 18:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

While the block dumb, I do agree with Cullen; we don't need to shed more light on vandalism like that. Primefac ( talk) 18:44, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

User:Cullen328 User:Primefac It was not a "personal attack." Instead, it was a report of one.

Nevertheless, we all agree. See below.

Isabella I of Castile in the Rimado de la Conquista de Granada, by Pedro Marcuello Hello, 7&6=thirteen.

Thank you for participating in Wikipedia's longevity project pages. You may be interested to learn that lkm512 yogurt has two different publications that describe it increasing mouse lifespan 95% and about 85% respectively. Yogurt starter is available at Amazon Japan. Also. I read that only 1/3 of over 49 biological health sciences studies at a sample could be replicated. That suggests the C60 95% longevity increase study merits more efforts at replication. That's particularly meaningful as C60 buckminsterfullerene has several other studies noting beneficial effects on fungi and algae. Treonsverdery ( talk) 23:08, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

January songs

in friendship

Thank you for being around, and your good wishes! - Happy new year, in friendship! - One of my pics was on the Main page (DYK) and even made the stats. - In this young year, I enjoyed meetings with friends in real life, and wish you many of those. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. Wishes for you to have a safe, prosperos, productive and satisfying New Year! 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 15:28, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

thank you, - in case of interest, yesterday's snow and today's music in memory -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 10:35, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

2022 began happily with vacation. I uploaded images but stopped at 22 January - click on songs. 30 January means 10 years of Precious. - It's also the birthday of a friend, - I'm so happy I mentioned his DYK on his 90th birthday when he was still alive. I have a great singer on DYK whom I heard, Elena Guseva, and wait for a Recent death appearance of Georg Christoph Biller whom I saw in action. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:51, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

update: we have now Guseva pictured, Biller pictured better (but still not on the Main page), and one more day of my pics -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:03, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

February songs

frozen

Today is a feast day for which Bach wrote several cantatas including Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin, BWV 125, which was on DYK 10 years ago and TFA 4 years ago. I'm less happy that Biller, when he finally appeared under recent deaths, stayed not even for a full day. It would have been so meaningful today, with the man in the cantata saying he can depart in joy and peace. - The February pic was taken in memory last year. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I like my talk today (even explaining how it works), and managed to picture two more vacation days -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:29, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Today, I decorated my talk with a Bach cantata. I heard it last year when missing RexxS began, and "not letting go" was a theme. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

my joy - more on my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:37, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Valentine's Day edition, with spring flowers and plenty of music -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:24, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

A pertinent message 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 03:23, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi 7&6=thirteen! I bet you didn't realize this, but I was recently unblocked from editing Wikipedia two months ago and I am now back to editing Wikipedia. I just wanted to check up on you and see how you are doing. Also, please check out my user page and check out all of the new additions I have on my user page. Thank you! Colman2000 ( talk) 03:32, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

I understand we don’t agree on a lot of things but considering how some other editors act, and are tolerated, I retrospectively really appreciate your relative civility and patience. Dronebogus ( talk) 06:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
