Music without beats?
Hi In ictu oculi,
I looked up BI (the disambiguation page)) and found the table of contents on the right. I think this is a good solution and indicates a free spirit. Then I searched the history to find who was so smart and free. That's how I came upon your name and user page. There I saw that you have done a lot in music too.
This led me to the idea that, maybe, you could give me a hint.
I (try to) enjoy music via internet radio.
As for voices: I love beautiful voices like Elvis (in his best time, that is: when he was young) and Vicky Leandros (in her teens and twenties) or "Plava Laguna" in the film "The Fifths Element"; and I prefer few instruments, not big orchestras, e.g. pan flute, violine, clarinette, saxophone and trombone. I just realized: they are the ones which can start gentle.
As for drums: I love them when they happen to be from natural instruments which are big and have a solid bottom (not this western military style sound), and are recorded with microphones (not electr(on)ic pick ups) (minimum one meter away), then their sound is astounding enthusiasing, even more when their cases are thick wooden. But I hate the beats in modern music especially from snare drums (as they are used since Rock'n Roll was invented - after the Hawaiian music - and musicians started to use these "rock'n roll" drum kits). I hate such beats especialy when they are louder than the rest of the music, which just spoils the complete song -- for me, even if it was played and recorded analog. However, I love the snares in "Bolero". But I even more disgust beats which are artificial (that is: with a digitally made rectangle ascent).
Do you know of music stiles which do not have (artificial) beats in them? Sometimes I listen to the internet radio station "Cheap music" which features Music from the US from the 20s to the 50s, but these are not all enjoyable to me. I also tried two Irish music channels but constantly the same type of fiddle or singing is just too much. I once enjoyed the bouzouki in a film of the 1970s where the bouzouki was played light and gentle, so I tried a Greek channel, but almost all their bouzouki was played hard to the max and with the microphone much too close to the strings (I suppose). Plus most Greek female singers's voices sound like very old women and the men much too rough.
So, a hint or two out of your big chest of experience would be very apreciated.
I would also apreciate a ping, Steue (talk) 20:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Vietnamese diacritics in The New York Times
Given your previous participation in discussions here about diacritics, you may be interested in a blog post I wrote briefly summarizing the 2011–2013 English Wikipedia diacritical mark conflict on the occasion of The New York Times appearing to relent and start using Vietnamese diacritics for seemingly the first time ever. [1] It's just one online-only op-ed so far, so nothing to reopen an RfC about on its own, but hopefully it brightens your day as much as it did mine. Maybe it's the start of something big. Also, I updated WP:DGUIDE to acknowledge the recent acceptance of diacritics by the AP (of all things). Minh Nguyễn 💬 17:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- It's very much a technical issue. en.wp had both the editors and software to do it, for free. I worked in publishing at the same time and we only used full font VN for one high-MOS series of travel books, because it helped readers and the cost was worth it, but that's (a) a free encyclopedia, and (b) quality books. Newspapers would need to have proofreaders standing by in 100 languages, it's just not practicable, or wasn't then. The "English names" contingent didn't understand that. And still don't, we've got one sore thumb Serbian tennis bio remaining on en.wp as a trophy for the "English names" lobby.

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?
Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.
Thanks so much,

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello In ictu oculi,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

An article you recently created, The Red Sun, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

ABD dab page re-org
This is minor, but I don't understand what distinguishes the entries at the top of ABD#Acronyms and codes from the ones in ABD#Other uses. Llew Mawr (talk) 22:15, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- It's a partial edit. Tried to improve it, but a mess. Abd is not an acronym. Maybe you can do better than me. Good luck In ictu oculi (talk) 12:42, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Fishermen
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Fishermen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — Mhawk10 (talk) 04:51, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

This may be too far back for you to remember, but did you intend to point "Y." somewhere else? Cheers! BD2412 T 06:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello In ictu oculi,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 731 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1034 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
