GMOs

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This is purely informational and a formality because it has been more than a year since the previous notice. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

@Tryptofish: I figured that you wouldn't be able to resist templating a regular if I edited your "Roundup" page. That's why I cleared off my talk page.

Of course, as per your message, I gather there's nothing wrong with my edits ... you just wanted me to be aware that any changes to your page were likely to lead to cabal rides... did you have a specific problem with my noting that Bayer stock value had lost more than 40% of its value since buying Monsanto, or was it just that which made you think I might be a GMO rebel?  ;) This will be archived shortly unless you have some specific concern; I assume you just wanted to make a fairly vague threat without saying anything groundless.

Yellow Vests

SashiRolls I removed the part about 'mostly men' because I did not see it in the sources. Additionally it struck me as adding an additional factor to the movement in an editorialized intended to lead the reader. Are most protests in Vermont led by men? Is this one more or less than average in including women? How does this percentage differ from the same 'movement' in France? I don't know. Therefore I don't know why it is important. The article you're citing does show a photo of women in the group which raises most of this questions. Simply put I'm not sure why this is essential or worth mentioning in an encyclopedic entry. Regards, Hesperian Nguyen (talk) 17:12, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Don't worry Hesperian. You're right, pulling that bit out of the text was a bit of editorializing that I shouldn't engage in, but it was cherry-picked from the article, promise, I didn't make it up. I thought the contrast between the two photos (young/old | male/female) was quite striking. (§) . I guess I went overboard while being struck. (oops) (I believe I'd also just read the Women in the yellow vests movement page for the first time when I added that line and was possibly ever-so-slightly under its influence...). I do think the question of who is protesting is relevant, but my text ended up being spin ... SashiRolls 20:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Your oppose vote at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/RexxS stated that the nominator was a sock. Bishzilla is an alternative account for Bishonen, an administrator. You have two options: (1) strike your vote or (2) state a different reason for opposing the candidate.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Having been blocked through the efforts of a sockpuppet prosecutor, I'm very touchy about Sock issues. And it says right on Bishzilla's page that she has her own sock to free her from Bishonen's evil control. I believe the comment is a pertinent and light-hearted way to introduce my vote. Are you saying that no humor is allowed? Are you saying WP:LEGITSOCK is not a subclass of WP:SOCK and that Bishzilla is an instance of neither? (trying to learn that Wikidata lingo)... SashiRolls 21:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

I'll give you a little more time, and if you don't choose one of the two options, I will strike your vote myself.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Like Obama's Syrian "red line" I notice there was no follow through. 109.237.138.36 (talk) 02:34, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

That's a mummy needs a daisy-may-be-more. 'o.O', I've enjoyed poking around with the protest entries since I've been back. Thanks for that SPI, and even for the mummy (I think). SashiRolls 23:33, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

I think I got my Halloween and spring greetings mixed up. No, but thanks for all the work and keep digging, you'll never know what kind of mummies will be unearthed. --Pudeo (talk) 11:19, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

An apology

I owe you an apology. I was a bit too quick to notice that you might have a point about Rohrabacher and Putin. It's a very well-documented fact that he is a big friend and defender of both Putin and Russia, and still denies that the Russians hacked the DNC and interfered in the election. He does it to the point that he's under suspicion of being a Russian asset, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy even said to colleagues (in a leaked tape): "There's two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump." That part is solid.

Based on that knowledge, and since Putin is often considered a "villain", as in a murderous one, I assumed this was referring to Putin. I forgot that the word "villain" can be applied to much milder versions of nastiness, including considering Assange a villain for his pro-Russia and anti-Hillary actions and betrayals of journalistic principles. I now don't know if the word is being applied to Putin or to Assange in the article, as both are mentioned (Assange) or implied (Russia friendly), but I suspect you're right. My apologies. -- BullRangifer (talk) 19:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. I'm still annoyed that I misread the BBC article as implying a chronological order. I also learned something about a politician I didn't know. I would say the "nasty" name-calling and innuendo should cease. Let's stick to facts. Did you know vilain (adj) originally just meant a lower class city dweller / free serf? (§) SashiRolls 19:55, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

That's what I love about editing here. I learn something every day. -- BullRangifer (talk) 20:46, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Personal attacks

SashiRolls, please do not make the baseless accusation against me that I am a "sock" and a liar as you did in your 18:55, 26 April 2019 edit summary at WP:ANI Snooganssnoogans: copyright violations and civility violations when you wrote "let sleeping socks lie" after reverting your edit where you wrote "You're not fooling anyone here, that was no error" Please assume good faith. As soon as I saw that I had made an error I corrected it. The truth is of most importance to me, and besides, it would be silly of me to make an easily verifiable misstatement which would hurt my credibility. Kolya Butternut (talk) 20:43, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

You made a false statement to call me dishonest and provided BS as evidence that you have now admitted was false after I called you out on it. It was the only damning element in your statement. You are bad news. Stay off of my page. SashiRolls 23:02, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
