Greetings from Los Angeles | ||
Thank you for dropping by. Please assume good faith. I really don't like hyperbole, profanity, or hostility and I'm sure you don't either. If I've made a mistake, please don't assume bad faith. If we have a difference of opinion, I'm open to discussing it (time permitting). I have very strong feelings about the importance of notability, policies and guidelines, sources and evidence, and process and consensus for building the quality of the encyclopedia. Best wishes from Los Angeles, // Timothy :: talk |

About
I spend most of my time working on book articles, authors, and bibliographies about topics I'm interested in. The work I am most proud of are the bibliographies related to Russian and Soviet history I've created. I have also put considerable work into Bibliography of Los Angeles
The subjects I am most involved with are related to Russia the Soviet Union, World War I, II, and Cold War, and generally the swath of nations and peoples that run from Poland, the Baltics, and Russia, running southeast through Turkey and the Caucauses, Central Asia, and ending in Pakistan, northern India, western China, and Mongolia.
I enjoy working on the navigation elements and interconnectedness of Wikipedia, such as: Navigation lists such as indexes, outlines, timelines and years pages; See also and navigation hat notes; navigation templates and navigation sidebars.
I am a self appointed maintenance angel for Timothy (given name), Tim (given name), Timmy (given name); every Tim, Timmy, and Timothy has a place, and every Tim, Timmy, and Timothy should be in their proper place. This is critical for the survival of Wikipedia.
I watch articles generally related to:
- History: the history of Russia and the Russian empire, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet bloc; the history of eastern and central Europe; Central Asia and the Caspian Sea; 20th century Germany and the Holocaust; World War I, II and the Cold War; the Sino-Japanese wars; general United States history.
- Other: Los Angeles and California, UCLA and Los Angeles City College; The Doors, Velvet Underground, and Traffic; gold and silver age Russian literature; golden age science fiction; fascism and communism; Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop RPGs; Commodore PET and Altair 8800; accessibility and blindness; Blue holes; whiskey and tea; warships; colors, especially blue; bibliographies; glossaries. ...
I work at WP:AFD, and at merging, and splitting articles.
My writing is wordy and bloated; my grammar is questionable even when at its best. Sigh.
I make an honest attempt to be conscious of my faults, biases, and limitations, but we all know objectivity about self is challenging. I welcome polite / fair / constructive advice. I do like discussions. I don't like arguments. I try to be polite and considerate and appreciate this in others. My writing is often wordy and my grammar could use improvement. I have a phobia about my writing not conveying the 'tone' I intend and inadvertently sounding harsh.
Much of the information here is to help my memory, but some I retain in the hope it might help others find useful material.
If you are here because of an AfD nomination I'm embroiled in or a !vote I made, please skip down to #Articles for Deletion discussions.
...and yes I do love and obsess over my user page.
My page on Polish Wikipedia
Important thoughts, random musings, personal confessions, and fun facts
- In 2018, I had a actual heart attack while listening to an orange monster promote fascism and white supremacy.
- I once found a coconut in Mercia.
- "Once ya, ya get to know these parts, you never lack for somethin ta do. People always ask me, "Why I stay here?" I tell'm I stay cuz I like it better here than I would anywharez else." — Herb Jones, The Legend of Boggy Creek.
- I have Arachnophobia, musophobia, and Ophidiophobia. Spiders, rats and snakes will cause me.
- Wikipedia is a creation worthy of the gnomes of Ak'Anon and as challenging for a newbie as Crushbone.
- I'm convinced I was a librarian in a former life; maybe not a good one.
- I routinely misspell "guarantee"; I have tried my whole life to stop, but cannot. It is my great shame.
Quotes from people much wiser than I will ever be
- The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence, you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. —Martin Luther King.[1]
- "The Russian Revolution was the most successful criminal conspiracy in history. The takeover of an entire nation by a shameless huckster supported by a hostile foreign power. And the revolution was also an object lesson in how liberals can lose, and lose catastrophically, from a position of great advantage, if they are divided in the face of a ruthlessly ideological foe."[2]
Goals
- I often find the citations / bibliographies / external links the most valuable part of an article, so I always try and improve them when possible. Since the quality within Wikipedia articles varies greatly (see WP:WINARS), I see Wikipedia as a doorway to lead readers to reliable sources for study.
- I enjoy working on navigational articles such as Indexes and Outlines. I think they are a great way for readers to explore topics and find information.
- I greatly value civility and wish WP:CIVIL was taken more seriously. To that end, I always try and go the extra mile to make my contributions to discussions civil and friendly whenever possible. I am far from being perfect on this matter, but I try. Sometimes being firm and direct is necessary, and certain types of editing is absolutely unacceptable, but many times being tactful, flexible and gentle will produce better results and better long term editing relationships instead of long term animosity. "There is one who speaks like the jabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Mishlei 12:18
- Whenever possible I think editors should attempt to deescalate and mediate conflicts before they spiral out of control. Often times brute force is used to try end conflict and "win". This is the opposite of creating the collaborative and collegial editing community Wikipedia strives towards. Again certain types of editing is absolutely unacceptable, but in other cases, productively deescalating and mediating disputes is a much better path.
Things I've learned to live by on Wikipedia (or try to)
- Think before you type. Then type. Then think again before you press Publish. "If you see a man hasty with his words, there is more hope for a fool than for him." Mishlei 29:20
- When in doubt, don't press Publish.
- If you're uncertain, Ask.
- When you're wrong, you're wrong. Accept it gracefully.
- I try and abide by a personal 2RR rule (except in cases such as vandalism, copyright, or BLP violations). If I've reverted twice and things continue, I'll leave it to another editor to pick up where I stop. If it's important someone else will come along. If important or the article is not watched, WP:3O or WP:DR is a better forum for resolving the dispute than moving towards WP:EW territory.
- Think if something can be Improved, rather than Reverted or Deleted. If it can, then either Improve it or leave it for someone else.
- Don't engage in petty reverting. See above.
- Sometimes it's best to disengage from a quarrel and return later rather than keeping it going. "Just as without wood, the fire goes out, so without a grumbler the quarrel quiets down." Mishlei 26:20
- Use polite and meaningful but short edit summaries.
- Use warning templates sparingly. A note often produces better results.
- Some topics I am too emotionally close to and I choose generally not to edit in those areas. At best it will be frustrating, at worst it will result in a ban or block. Everyone has to know their limitations. Wikipedia should be enjoyable and edifying, not frustrating and exasperating.
- Don't stick your nose into situations you know nothing about. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." Abraham Lincoln
- Don't stir the pot.
- Don't hold grudges.
- Not every editor is able to constructively edit/review every article. Know what articles are best left to others.
- When you've dug yourself into a hole, that's a battleground; stop digging and just walk away.
- Beating a dead horse with a lead pipe is messy and unnecessary; just walk away
Simple Wikipedia things I wish I knew sooner
- I couldn't figure out why the Thank option appeared sometimes, but other times was unavailable. It was because I had a VPN running.
- You don't need to have the Page Mover user right to move a page. The right just gives you the ability to move without leaving a redirect.
- There is a glossary of all those Wikipedian abbreviations people use at Wikipedia:Glossary and Wikipedia:Wikipedia abbreviations
- When you see !vote it doesn't mean a Negative or Oppose vote. It means Not voting and refers to the process of consensus-building as opposed to polling.
- Twinkle is the most helpful thing on Wikipedia.
- Wikipedia:Tools and Wikipedia:User scripts/List.
- RefScript automatically creates refs from webpages.
- On Wikipedia, if something sounds straightforward and self-explanatory, you're wrong, it's not.
- There are important differences between policies and a guidelines and an essays. They are not the synonmyns. Editors use the terms far too loosely and interchangeably, sometimes unintentionally and innocently, other times...?
- Special:CategoryTree - displays a tree for a category
- When you remove vandalism with an inappropriate edit summary, make sure to remove the default edit summary on your revert, or else the inappropriate edit summary will appear on the revert and in your user contributions.
- Help:Cheatsheet, Help:Wikitext, Help:Magic words
- Zotero [1] - citation manager with Wikipedia support.
Things about articles I do not like
- Excessive inline references per WP:OVERKILL. It makes it hard to read an article. If they are needed, they should be encapsulated or bundled WP:BUNDLING in a footnote with an explanation.
- Too many sections MOS:OVERSECTION. Article creation is not a contest to see how many sections an editor can cram into a stub.
- Substubs. These are not articles: they are PAGE SPAM. Shame on any editor that creates them and doesn't expand them (unless there is a good reason); if an article is worth creating, an editor should write 350 words about it, create a couple of incoming links, add two references, add categories. Minimum effort.
- The idea that having a separate article is always somehow better. Nothing is improved if content is unnessarily fragmented and placed in a more obsure stand alone article.
- Completely empty sections; if an editor creates a section, they should at least write one sentence about that section's topic.
- That its much easier to be considered notable as an athlete or entertainer, than it is to be considered notable as an academic, scientist, or author.
Things that get my attention
- POV editing on historical articles.
- Genocide and crimes against humanity denial and distortion.
- Copyright violations.
- False accusations of copyright violations.
- Hoax articles.
Free tools for editing Wikipedia
These are some of the tools I use, your millage may vary, but these work for me. Suggestions welcome. Items available for Linux, may be available for Windows and Mac. All work well for individuals with visual impairments, and most work well with dark themes.
Text Editors
- Visual Studio Code: This text editor has a Wikipedia extension that color codes your code, a useful snippet tool, autocomplete, section folding, robust find and replace across documents, workspaces, and a reasonable spelling engine that doesn't flag code. I find this very useful for working with new articles and bibliographies.
- Sublime Text: Another great text editor, all of the features above, except spell check and code coloring. I usually use this as a notepad, to compose or edit short passages, edit talk page messages. Biggest drawback is no spell check. I prefer VS Code for snippet management. There is a plug in that allows you to directly open, edit, and save Wikipedia pages which is very useful.
- Brackets: Another great text editor.
I usually have all of the above open and just switch between them depending on what I'm doing.
Office Suites
- LibreOffice: Word Processor and Spreadsheet. Minimal bloat, all the tools someone might use in a more expensive and bloated Office suite. Doesn't have an easy to switch to dark mode :/
- Open Office: Very very similar to Libre Office.
- Google Docs web applications. No my favorite. There extension system is awkward, but this is useful. Best dark mode.
Fonts
- Input: I prefer Input Mono Thin. Works well with color coding on dark backgrounds.[3]
Browsers Chrome and Firefox are great, these are also:
References and notes'
- Evernote: online note taking. I use this but below items are great
- Joplin: if I wasn't so used to Evernote, I'd probably use Joplin.[4]
- Simplenote: Made by WordPress.[5]
- Zotero: reference manager. Someone told me this would change my life and it did. Has browser plug ins for Chrome and Firefox. Lacks some accessibility customizations I like.
Web tools
- Grammarly: Can be intrusive at times but useful.
- Exceltowiki [4]: works with LibreOffice and OpenOffice, not just Excel.
- DeepL: Machine translation, personal opinion this works better than Google.[6]
Wikipedia scripts Lots of common scripts, but these are not so well known
- User:BrandonXLF/Invert: Inverted color theme that is tailored for Wikipedia. Plays well with many browser plug ins.

Articles for Deletion discussions
If you're visiting my page due to a !vote or nomination I made at articles for deletion, please know I am open to changing my mind if you can make a convincing case (on the AfD page, not here) based on policies, guidelines, and/or reliable sources that the nomination is mistaken. I take honest pride in my willingness to be open to discussion and evidence.
Please consider the following:
- I feel very strongly about the importance of !vote and very negatively towards "voting".
- I know the difference between policies, guidelines, and essays and how to give them due weight.
- Arguments stating a particular topic/subject is always notable or that notability is obvious without evidence will not change my !vote.
- Arguments that an article subject is notable just because a guideline or essay states it is presumed notable without evidence will not change my !vote (a presumption is an assumption that can be challenged, not a guarantee, see WP:GNG).
- I will consider notability essays and give them due weight, but they are essays, which means they are opinions, not guidelines or policies.
- Stating that an essay is a guideline or a policy is a red flag for me in a discussion. Trying to give essays undue weight against guidelines and policies is a sign of an unsound argument.
- I assume using hyperbole or incivility in debate means the underlying argument is unsound, so if you're trying to change my !vote, these should be completely avoided. An argument containing insults or accusations will never change my !vote.
- Always WP:AGF and be WP:CIVIL (to everyone in the discussion). If you will not do this, I will not have a discussion with you.
Again. I will happily change my !vote if you change my mind. If you check my AfD voting record you will see evidence that I will discuss and consider evidence, sources, and policy/guideline based arguments. Look at the Speedy Keep outcomes and on some, you will see it was a Speedy Keep because I withdrew the nomination based on evidence and discussion. So this is not an idle promise, it is something I actively do.
Remember, it's evidence, sources, and policy/guideline based arguments that may change my mind, not opinions, feelings, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, WP:ILIKEIT/WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I find arguments based on WP:SUMMARY and WP:CLN to be especially persuasive when they are used appropriately.
If you are the creator of an article at AfD and strongly believe you could improve the article if it was moved to Drafts, I will usually (but not always) support sending the article to Drafts as an alternative to deletion. Leave a message on the nomination page with a request to send to Drafts and ping me on my talk page about it.
Gnostic ANI guide
- Before going to ANI, read Hoist with his own petard.
- When things start going badly for you at ANI, read Law of holes.
- Use the fewest words possible to concisely and accurately convey your point. Walls of text will not help and often will hurt your point.
- Diffs speak louder than your explanations.
- Be aware that the collective mind of Wikipedia is not something you are likely to outsmart.
- If you think you can use ANI to advance your agenda, prepare for a stark and frightful experience.

Serious things
How to evaluate claims of off-wiki status as an expert or scholar
- If someone feels the need to tell you they are expert or scholar, they are rarely an expert or scholar.
- If someone feels the need to tell you they are expert or scholar, and therefore you should respect their opinion/contribution even though they don't have WP:RS, they are very rarely an expert or scholar.
- If someone feels the need to tell you they are expert or scholar, and therefore you should respect their opinion/contribution even though they don't have WP:RS, and they have "Dr." or "Ph.D." anywhere in their username, you can be completely certain beyond any doubt they are not an expert or scholar.
The Unspoken Sixth Pillar of Wikipedia
A stub article shall be created for each and every male football (soccer) player, who has ever been on a roster for a national team for even one game, regardless of how obscure they are or unlikely it is that the stub will ever be expanded, if even one bare entry in a statistical database site can be found as a source for the aforementioned male football (soccer) player. If challenged, WP:NFOOTBALL shall be invoked with the authority of the gods to override any objection, policy or guideline.
Anyone who foolishly deviates from this sacred standard, even ever so slightly or inadvertently, will be declared an apostate and banished forever, doomed to create stub articles for baseball players.
Proposed new CSD criteria
The following is a list of proposed new CSD criteria that will make everything much more interesting.
- A8. No indication of importance (things you don't understand and don't feel the need to try)
- Wikipedia is not about learning new things and its just rude for someone to create an article that you don't understand.
- A12. Stuff you don't like.
- A13. Stuff someone you don't like is enjoying working on, so you want it deleted.
- Applies to people who have offended you in the past, may offend you in the future, or someone you just have a funny feeling about. Also can be applied if someone you don't know and have never interacted with, is obviously bothering/harassing/stalking you, even if you are uncertain which editor is doing this.
- A14. Too many typoes mispellings or grammer errors.
- Available only to WikiGnomes and to WikiElves helping them. Because Grammer Speling and Punctuation is the very MOST immportant thing; an if anyone disegrees their WRONG! and trying to Destory Wikipedia and MUST be stoped; before the werld comes too an end..
- A14(a) The hyphens-dash clause
- This applies when hyphens are used instead of en-dashes or especially when used instead of em-dashes or visa-versa. This can potentially cause a fatal case of what is referred to as Gnomish CE-OVERLOAD, if a WikiElf is not present to help them calm down. In severe cases, all the offending editor's articles and edits shall be reverted and they shall be issued an infinite block for WP:DE. Available only to WikiGnomes with SuperGnome™ powers.
- A15. Someone stole your idea.
- Something you've been planning on writing for years now and was almost ready to think about considering starting it, but someone stole the idea and beat you to it. The offending editor obviously is a mind reader and this is the same as plagiarism.
- A16. Obviously not notable.
- You did a Google search in English and nothing came up on the first page, so it can't be notable and it's too much trouble to go to AfD and plus someone might disagree with you there.
- A17. Its a stub. You hate stubs.
- A stub. You hate stubs. Why are there so many stubs? Also applies to start articles that look too much like stubs and to featured articles that at one point were stubs.
- A18. Something that could be merged, but you're too lazy to do it.
- Applies if you are too lazy at the moment to do the work or feel you might be too lazy when you get around to thinking about maybe doing it later.
- A18(a). Something could be redirected, but you forgot the correct syntax for a redirect.
- Syntax is hard. Why can't you just wish for a thing to be and it is? This way you just have a couple clicks to perform. Everything on Wikipedia should be done by clicks and not require typing. Typing is hard.
- A19. Articles with references in languages other than English that obviously cannot be verified.
- This is English Wikipedia so everything should be in English. Google translate is hard and some of those non-Latin characters are scary.
- G15. You're having a bad day and something just absolutely must pay for it.
- Applies to all situations where real-life issues are upsetting you and the best solution is to take it out on an innocent article, category, template or other random page or two. Please note: this only applies to real-life off-wiki situations that are upsetting you. If you are upset due to an on-wiki situation, other CSD criteria may apply, such as A12 or A13. If you are both having a bad off-wiki day and something on-wiki is also bothering you, please contact an Oversighter and have something suppressed.
- G16. You should get credit for something, but won't unless it's deleted first so you can claim the credit.
- You found something and think you could improve on it, but want credit for creating it, so you want it deleted. Can be literally anything from a new stub to the five pillars.
- G17. You just feel something should be deleted.
- Feelings are more important than facts, policies, and guidelines. You should WP:IGNORE and go with your gut.
- U6. A user page that meets the criteria for a user page, but that you don't like.
- A good way to express exactly how involved you are in the lives of individuals you don't know.
- U7. User page deletion anger management
- Available when you are having a disagreement with another editor, need to vent your anger, but don't want to be blocked for a personal attack. You can repeatedly have their user page deleted until they acknowledge you are always correct and agree not to challenge you in the future. Use with caution due to the possibility of this developing into a U7(a) situation.
- U7(a). User page deletion anger management delete war
- When two editors need to vent their anger over a disagreement on an article but don't want to edit war at that article or engage in personal attacks, they can engage in a delete war against each other's user pages, repeatedly having the other's user page deleted and when the other user refunds their page and deletes your page, you simply delete again until someone surrenders. Canvassing your clique to create a delete war army to assist you is acceptable. If the delete war appears to be at a stalemate, an uninvolved admin can decide to close the delete war by having a Wikipedia drone strike carried out on the editors accounts to end the situation.
