Happy New Year =) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:11, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Came across some of your posts from arbitration and other discussions from a decade ago. Want to express appreciation and admiration for your continued involvement in the project, especially since those efforts began at a time when Wikipedia was (in comparison to its current state) a fledgling operation. Take care! SecretName101 (talk) 02:47, 11 January 2018 (UTC) |
Hi Allie! Just a quick note to say hello! Been a long time. x Miss Bono [hello, hello!] 19:25, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
There are tons of bare references on the Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament linking to some web pages. I want to fill in the bare references but don't know how. Could you help me? Laundry Machine (talk) 04:11, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
I am very disappointed to see you edit war without responding to my clearly stated objections to the content as you insist on reinstating it in the article. It's undue because (as noted, explained, etc.) the two authors are not knowledgeable experts who have the understanding to evaluate whether Taleb "predicted" such events. The meaning of "predicted" is not defined either in the article or in the sources -- and although you may not be familiar with the issues that "prediction" entails in this context, I assure you they are numerous and complex. Finally "he is credited with..." in Wikipedia's voice, without telling our readers the authors are an op-ed political pundit and a British fiction writer who dabbles in newspaper work is indeed WP:WEASEL -- and rather egregiously so.
I'm at a loss to understand why you would edit-war this stuff with a derisive/dismissive edit summary rather than engaging on talk to establish your reasons and also to help focus this article on a better-sourced and more encyclopedic treatment of Taleb's work. And among other things, it sets the example (with your snarky edit summary, of endorsing or enabling the other editor's dismissive abuse of Rollback to do the same thing you just did. @NeilN: in case he's interested.

If you were not aware, or did not believe me when I stated on the article talk page that the Medium is a self-publishing platform, you can easily verify that by following the link to RSN that I provided to ((ping|Limit-Theorem]] on the article talk page. SPECIFICO talk 03:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
I know you're largely retired but nice to see you make a guest appearance. (By the way, "Leave a message, go on. I love getting those orange things" is outdated -- they are no longer orange, and I used to hate getting them for reasons you can imagine if you can remember far enough back!) I miss you.
I have no idea why or when I ever watchlisted Dunshaughlin but somehow I am glad I did. How is Silicon Alley dealing with the sturm und drang going on at Facebook? Quis separabit? 16:20, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Alison, please unblock my page. I’m Flowerdoodle. You deleted my page 5 years ago. Not sure why. Flowerdoodle (talk) 22:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello Alison, Greetings!
Could you please have a check on the edit (Link) done by IP address: 27.57.169.126 user. The translation of the abusive content which is in Hindi language, goes like this: Link. Isn't the IP eligible for a block?
Thank you, --Gpkp (talk) 06:28, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
I have forgot the password to it. I stopped changing Wikipedia since then, despite the fact I still view the site. I know for certain that the older account has no email with it. I do not know if it is possible to get it back, but I can give evidence of it being me. I am however not willing to create a new account yet. How do I get it back? I can give an older password that I used but not the current one. --70.35.188.218 (talk) 18:47, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
MOOT. I got my account back using email recovery. No longer need help. However, I am not edeting wikiepdia anytime soon after this however. Pretty les♀♥, Dark Mistress, talk, 20:52, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
On User_talk:Alison/Archive_69#Books_and_Bytes:_The_Wikipedia_Library_Newsletter you might want to add some tags like this (my bot can't edit your page). regards, -- GreenC 13:16, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

The e-mail is about an editor who I've discovered is a creep and a predator. Lolifan (talk) 13:48, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Realised, thanks to talking to Bishonen, that I should be sending it to ArbCom, not to random admins basically asking "could you block this person?". If you see my e-mail, please delete it - I intend to send it to ArbCom. Lolifan (talk) 21:14, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
