Recent comment on WP skepticism
Just wanted to thank you for your well-written comment in the project's talk page, and the thank you button just wouldn't be enough. You described the issue affecting a large number of skeptic BLPs very eloquently. I hope you don't mind me quoting your statement when useful in the future. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 01:10, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- @A. C. Santacruz: Sure thing. I've been meaning to write a more lengthy stand-alone post summarizing the issue to post on the WP Skepticism page, with more examples, and maybe I will someday. I hope WP Skeptic regulars take it as constructive criticism and don't get offended. Bias and favoritism can creep in even with the best of intentions, and COI need not necessarily be invoked, as I discussed in my comments at the Michael Shermer discussion. Cheers. --Animalparty!

- I won't join that discussion to avoid the possibility of it being considered canvassing. I agree with your arguments there and your intentions. Whenever interacting with these fans of skepticism (idk how else to call them) I frequently think of this essay by Piotrus on the radicalization of users that spend years fighting against fringe and POV editors. Many of these skeptic editors are highly valuable to the project but perhaps in the decade+ they've edited criticism of skeptics has become a sore spot. I hope to read your post on skepticism some day :) Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 08:25, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- How about just calling "them" Misplaced Pages editors. You know like real people. I think it's not a great idea to try to us vs them people. Whatta ya think? Funny how someone has become an expert on what GSoW edits in such a short period of time, able to sum up the entire wealth of articles we have worked on and make such general sweeping statements. Thousands of pages have been edited by these "skeptic editors" possibly tens of thousands. Also to be really clear, I am a member of WikiProject Skepticism (and other projects) and there are a lot of people who are also members of WikiProject Skepticism and posting there is NOT canvassing by any stretch of the imagination. That is how we communicate on WikiProjects, it is encouraged. Sgerbic (talk) 18:44, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

- I don't consider replying to your statements in detail worth the time for either of us, Sgerbic. I really don't see what the point is in sending your message or what benefits it may have for anyone involved. You keep assuming that all pages about skeptics are written and WP:OWNed by GSOW or that my criticism of an article or multiple articles is based on my criticisms of GSoW. Neither of those statements is true. And seeing how you have as much experience here as you do and train as many editors as you do, you really should know the canvassing guideline better, which is not only about the method of contacting users but also the wording of the notice as well. If you have any issues with me or wish to have a discussion between us I recommend you use the processes available to you and/or go to my talk page rather than do so in another editor's talk page.

Please see talk-page (end) for Millipede
In Australia such a creature has been found at a depth of 60 meter in a drilling hole with 1306. (earlier record was 750) The article has a star and I'm not a real Wikipedian. 83.250.73.248 (talk) 12:28, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
