=== A little advice from the brink === |
|
|
If you're considering editing climate-related articles, you should at least skim ] (Delete: ~36, Keep: ~19. Result: Delete). I saw it several months too late, but it helps crystallize things that were ] anyway. At wikipedia, the views of sociologists, historians (]), cartoonist/web developers (]), and blogger-environmentalists (]), who study climate scientists' studies, carry more weight than the views of climate scientists themselves. I didn't find that in ], and it took a young lady like ] to clue me into looking a little deeper below the surface of "]." You should too, but that's just my POV, from the ]. -- ] (]) 17:36, 26 April 2020 (UTC) |

===Non-participation at ] for climate or related biography articles=== |
|
|
The ] does not address climate. Where it touches on biography, it mostly refers elsewhere (see section, ]). In ], "climate" is not found, and "warming" appears only once in passing. In ], "fringe" only appears once: <font color="green">"There are those who would like to turn this into "science vs fringe", but it's not about that at all. Most of the recent conflicts are on BLPs and other pages which are only tangentially related to the science. There is a group of editors who have a strong POV in this area and who generally refuse to allow changes to the status quo, even if those changes are well sourced and necessary for NPOV."</font> (]) ({{u|ATren}}) I mostly agree with that statement, and feel it remains as valid now as in 2010. So, "fringe" treatment of climate or related biographies is ''not'' supported by those arbitration cases or guides. In my opinion, using ] arguments to influence climate or related biography articles is unfortunate, and seems to lead to increased uncivil behavior. Therefore, I will not participate at fringe "theories" noticeboard, unless it involves a real "fringe" issue, like, say holocaust denial or see the list: ]. There are plenty of other fitting places to take issues: ], ], ], ], ], ], or ]. If an admin/authority has a problem with this position, or could explain another way of understanding Misplaced Pages's position, please let me know. -- ] (]) 15:02, 10 April 2020 (UTC) |

=== Why I no longer do ] for new articles === |
|
|
The ] are good, but results I observed did not meet enough of the objectives to support continued involvement. Sure, there was a blip in page views, for one day. The hope was interested editors would help improve the articles after they appeared on DYK. Actual results were no edits, vandalism or not much better. Most of the article improvements came from interaction with DYK reviewers, but I found the process to be difficult. "Bring me another rock" is how I'd describe the process, although surprisingly it is not frequently referenced in Misplaced Pages. "Bring me another hook" is a somewhat fun game to play, but it's a variation of "bring me another rock," and it took far too much effort for the short time the hook was used on the home page. So, I thank the editors who helped improve the new articles and create hooks for my 5 DYKs, but I'm dropping out of the league. -- ] (]) 17:50, 20 February 2020 (UTC) |

No associations or affiliations to declare. Long experience with several android devices, and computers running GNU/Linux or BSD. Tests services and software from /e/, Purism, LineageOS, microG, and others. Had good, bad, and awful experiences.

=== e ROM and related history === |
|
|
|
|
|
I hesitate to put this summary here, but because I'm being repeatedly accused of bias or COI, because block logs get re-organized and confused, and because , here it is for reference and background. |
|
|
|
|
|
Some things I've learned about eelo AKA /e/ and e foundation by participating at Misplaced Pages: |
|
|
|
|
|
The renaming of eelo to /e/ for trademark name issues is a repeat mistake by e's founder. Mandrake GNU/Linux previously had to be renamed for the same reason. This is not in the e ROM articles because it hasn't been made notable by reliable sources. |
|
|
|
|
|
The article was started in . According to e foundation's about pages and forums, he was and is their "community leader." He was investigated for sockpuppetry (and meat puppetry) in December 2018 during the Article for Deletion discussion. No administrator action was taken: |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At that time the suspected meat puppets' associations were not disclosed. Now several likely (Conflict of Interest) associations are apparent. Indidea is likely e's founder, and has been blocked for spam/promotion. One is an active supporter on e's telegram and forums. Another is a developer for e foundation. At least two others are members of e's Board. |
|
|
|
|
|
Most of those user accounts are mostly inactive since the AfD, but the article, and related articles were significantly edited by ] and ]. Indidea was blocked for being an obvious spam ID, connected with e foundation's founder's personal blog (web search "Indidea"). Caliwing and Indidea accounts were found to be sockpuppets, and Caliwing was blocked: |

IANAL, but this all looks like violation of European Fair-trade law: |
