User talk:Hob Gadling

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Expect disruption

Musk. Though all relevant pages are probably semi-ed. TrangaBellam (talk) 11:45, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this is about something that happened in that thread but is now way down. --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:46, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it. "prosecute Fauci", at the top. (Twitter was never my medium.) That Eon Musp guy seems to be have quite a fanboi following. --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:53, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are h8ers too though. -Roxy the dog 16:05, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not for long. He is an absolutist after all, freeze-peach and otherwise. --Hob Gadling (talk) 16:08, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I asked at FTN about that article being used in Pyramid power

I have seen it. --Hob Gadling (talk) 13:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Padre Pio

Hi, we collaborated well the other day on the Miracle of Lanciano article. It was about massive influence and distortion of content by religious POV. I would like to bring to your attention a slanted discussion: I reported a religious user and the editors see it as a violation of Wikipedia rules on my page. Maybe you can participate in the relevant discussion. Greetings

EMDR

thanks for editing the EMDR article. It is currently really stuck;

if you do have the energy to do more editing of this article, just wanted to encourage you to do so! JCJC777 (talk) 06:22, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know about all that. FTN? I live there. --Hob Gadling (talk) 06:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Signature timezones

Hi Hob. When adding signatures to unsigned talk page comments, could you please make sure that you're using the correct timezone? For example here you added the timestamp "20:37, 2 May 2019 (UTC)" while the comment was actually added at 19:37 (UTC). Thanks. 93.72.49.123 (talk) 19:59, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also please don't forget to WP:SUBST the templates. Thanks. 93.72.49.123 (talk) 20:01, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the time zone is really important when adding a sig for a four-year-old contribution.

I have no idea how to add a timezone to the unsigned template, or why I should. Do I have to check the IP address to find out where the user came from? Sounds like unnecessary work.

Also, AnomieBot will subst it automatically. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why add the signature at all, then? Nevermind that it leads to nonsense like this, where Slatersteven's reply to an anonymous comment apparently was written earlier than that comment.

Since Wikipedia stores all signatures in UTC, you'd only need to subtract/add your timezone's UTC offset (e.g. if you live in a city with a UTC+01:00 offset, you'd need to subtract one hour from your 20:37 signature). 93.72.49.123 (talk) 18:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why add the signature at all Because the automatic archive bot will ignore undated contributions. --Hob Gadling (talk) 18:33, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
