ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Ghostwriting
Hi Core, it's good to see you back. I've moved our ghostwriting essay from my userspace to WP:GHOST. I hope that's okay with you. When I saw you hadn't edited since the 25th I decided to be bold, but if you don't want it to be moved, I can undo it, so let me know. I also edited it and cut out quite a bit, so it's shorter and less focused on particular examples.
I added a lead image, but I'm not keen on it, so I'm looking for something better. Vaguely thinking of this, but I'd have to ask for a release. I haven't found anything really appropriate yet. SarahSV (talk) 20:54, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- Why thanks for the note. I've been dealing with a particularly disgusting COI situation, so I'll take a shower and then look at the essay. Coretheapple (talk) 23:02, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- @SlimVirgin: It's fine. Actually don't remember my contributions to this but whatever they are, or were, it is certainly very good now. However, I would suggest renaming it [[WP:BP]] :) Coretheapple (talk) 04:13, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
Indeed, the irony
At a rough count you've peppered the WO talk page dialogue with two accusations of “well-poisoning”, one of “poisoning the well” (yay, variation on a theme!), one disparaging "WP:DONTYOUDARECHANGEIT contingent”, one contemptuous “bull arguments”, one general accusation of “genuine user misconduct” one of “perpetrators thereof”, one really rather precious “underwear in a twist”, and one foot-stamping “a hell of a time”. And now also a presumption of “purple with rage”? Please. Projection much? Incidentally I don’t mind being on the receiving end of ad hominems, but I do prefer them to be at least slightly witty. (Nevertheless they give me a laugh either way, so no harm done.) Further, your deep personal animus towards WO is beyond doubt. I rather thought you'd be big enough to admit it when called on it at the article talk page, but as far as I can tell you didn't. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) Which would appear to fall well short of the honesty, as you term it, of the WO members who declared a connection. That said, I have no desire for further conflict with the wikifriend of a very good wikifriend who holds you in high esteem. Here’s hoping you reach a comfortable accommodation with your underwear, at least :) . All the best, Writegeist (talk) 19:31, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- Well based on a skim of the above I'd say you're annoyed! Have you considered counseling? Coretheapple (talk) 19:40, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- Have you considered these? I'm sorry, I can't help you any further and I'm not interested in any more dialogue with you on these topics. Happy editing! Writegeist (talk) 20:01, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- Look, did I ask you to come here and shower me with your prose? No. If you don't like the reception, don't turn on the TV. You guys are taking the article super-seriously and reacting hysterically over routine talk page posts because you are conflicted. It happens in COI situations. That's why you declared your COI, assuming you did it in good faith and not for "dramuh." and that why we have COI rules. And speaking of "honesty" I'd like to see one of the defenders of this article have the honesty to admit that they really are conflicted, and that if it was any other article they would be all over a situation like this like a cheap suit. Have a nice day. Coretheapple (talk) 20:20, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
- And by the way, Write, in case you're still following this, since far, far worse things were said about me on-Wiki than off-Wiki, applying your "logic," what does that make me? A foe of Wikipedia? Come to think of it, I am critical of a great deal about Wikipedia, whereas I have no feelings whatsoever about a website to which I, unlike you, have no connection. Coretheapple (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello I'm Color4breex79
I did not mean to offend you, I am simply trying to understand exactly how Wikipedia works since I am a relatively new user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Color4breex79 (talk • contribs) 18:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
- No, that's perfectly all right. It's just that you reverted that change ("inhabited" to "habited") twice. Anyway, welcome. Coretheapple (talk) 18:22, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome message. The links that you have sent me look like they will be very helpful to my learning process. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Color4breex79 (talk • contribs) 04:53, 14 December 2015 (UTC) (moving rest of exchange to user talk page)

Congratulations from STiki!
The Silver STiki Barnstar of Merit | ||
| Congratulations, Coretheapple! You're receiving this barnstar of merit because you recently crossed the 10,000 classification threshold using STiki.
We thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia at-large and your use of the tool. We hope you continue your ascent up the leaderboard and stay in touch at the talk page. Thank you and keep up the good work! West.andrew.g (developer) and Ugog Nizdast (talk) 05:45, 13 December 2015 (UTC) |
- How nice, thanks. I find that STiki is very good stress relief. Having made a side-by-side comparison, I can also attest that it is far, far superior to Huggle, much more flexible, better at picking up bad edits. Coretheapple (talk) 14:52, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- I'm sure Andrew would like to hear this. @West.andrew.g: Ugog Nizdast (talk) 15:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sure. Try it yourself. No disrespect to Huggle, but that's a fact. Also STiKi allows reverting in situations that fall short of outright vandalism, and is flexible enough to deal with joke and test edits. Coretheapple (talk) 15:43, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
