Actually the theory is not completely insane. There is more coverage in German scholarship than in English, and it touches in a weak point in historiography: we have few manuscript sources from that period. It is not politically correct to call it 'the Dark Ages', but it does not reflect much light. Most manuscript sources date to much later, i.e. they are copies of earlier texts that did not survive (and which never existed, per the theory). A lot of dating involves more estimation than you would like. For example, if x mentions y, then we infer that x is later than y, and if z mentions x, we infer that x is earlier than z, and so you get an ordering with anchor points from which a whole chronology can be reconstructed. The anchor points are often coronations or papal appointments or something like that. An infuriating aspect of medieval scholarship is that unlike Wikipedia, writers rarely mention sources. They say things like "some people say that ... other people say that ...", so you have to guess who 'some people', 'other people' actually were. Perhaps they thought it was impolite to mention people by name, but it makes the history of ideas a minefield. Peter Damian (talk) 11:16, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm actually just spreading a little WikiLove today and made a big blunder when I arrived at your TP. I apologize for that accidental archive. The graphic card in my laptop crashed a few days ago and all I have with me is an antiquated iPad. While scrolling down your TP, I accidentally hit the "archive" link in the right margin (it won't disengage on Safari). Hope it doesn't dilute my original intent for coming here.

Boris, I am happy that you will be monitoring WP:Advocacy ducks. It's on my Watchlist, too. I have no qualms admitting that my first attempt at writing an essay was extremely raw and lacked insight. The criticisms in the first MfD taught me a lot and you can rest assured, the lessons did not go to waste. --Atsme📞📧 13:21, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
I wasn't sure which of the templates to use. Thank you for adding the correct one. I also removed the duck template which seemed to have gotten some underwear in a wad. Maybe they'll be more comfortable now. --Atsme📞📧 13:57, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

The main reason things like that happen is because WP:Twinkle automatically adds the reports to the top of the page. So it's not so much a case of people not reading as of people not noticing. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:28, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

I suppose I earned your rebuke, but let me unpack my comment a bit.
I'm old enough, that, when I was a kid in Stillwater, Oklahoma, we still had "white" and "colored" bathrooms at the train station. (And several passenger trains a day.) Plus a segregated neighborhood for poor blacks, known to all kids as "niggertown". "Colored town" to more polite adults. Compare "Denier" to "Denialist".
Why you would care about this, I don't know, except that I recall you also expressing distaste for the Denial propaganda-page AWB. Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 18:12, 29 June 2015 (UTC) [Deleted by author, restored by page owner 06/30/15]
Boris, I'm sorry you didn't care for my little story of how things were, not so many years ago. But it's an accurate memory, and a cautionary tale. Best, Pete Tillman (talk) 19:32, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
So, do you have any to offer, re the situation outlined at Talk:Climate change denial? Other than, "stay the hell away?" I am thinking pretty seriously about following your advice. And also thinking about staying the hell away, and let the fucking thing lie in its own stinking sty. Which should it be? Your pal, Pete Tillman (talk) 19:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Boris,
Re this.... FYI, in case you don't know, the DS system for enforcing arb rulings was overhauled. In case you notify anyone besides yourself, under the new system we're explicitly told to use only the DS template. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 05:39, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
You might like to check your recent edit at Tropical cyclone. I looked because the article is now in an error tracking category and the diff includes changing "order=flip" (good) in a ((convert)) to "disp=flip" (deprecated) and lots of other changes which made me wonder whether it was intentional.

Feel like improving the "causes" stuff at urban heat island? I'm not convinced the article currently does very well (esp. lede) and this is close to your stuff. IPCC is a touch vague - because they're not terribly interested in the causes, only in the effect on the record (e.g. https://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/ch7s7-2-2-2.html#box-7-2) William M. Connolley (talk) 17:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Most of Woodcock's work has been in computer modeling - so I find that claim unconvincing. The Monte Carlo simulation based on Woodcock's original Fortran program is, in fact, a major part of MATLAB AFAICT, not a mere "single script". [2]. Collect (talk) 13:07, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
The "Nature News" stuff looks like amateur content aggregation (and adds very little - we establish the person is notable, and that there is the single "interview" (which no one seems to have ever proofread at the newspaper) and that this is discordant with consensus). I think the "Noah's Ark" aside should be given in the full context where he also mentions ancient desert floods - else it makes him sound like a loon while it is reasonably likely he was making a general reference to traditional stories about floods, and the actual accepted belief than some deserts were, indeed, flooded in the past.

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.

Thank you for good comments last year. I recommend your arbcom essay a lot! 2016 had a good start, with a Bach cantata (a day late) and an opera reflecting that we should take nothing to seriuz, - Verdi's wisdom, shown on New Year's Day, also as a tribute to Viva-Verdi.

Hi Boris,
I noted your addition of Hugh to the log of ARBCC notices and just FYI that log is now for historical purposes only. Instead, logging takes now takes place with a tag on the server, and the tag is set by issuing someone ((subst:alert|cc)) ~~~~. All of the notices that were posted in the old log ceased to be effective on 5-3-15. Thereafter, an AE complaint has to show someone "had notice" once every 12 months. The new system is more nuanced, but that's the gist. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 00:50, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, more of a wannabee William M. Connolley (talk) 22:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
I'll respond here instead of AE to this. One of the reasons why we wanted discretionary sanctions on the topic was to avoid the circus at ANI with never-ending threads as opposed to word limits at AE. I know AE isn't the greatest either, but it would seem less likely to get derailed than ANI as admins are theoretically supposed to be able to cut through the cruft a little easier there. Not to mention that a cut and dry case like this should be easily handled by a single admin. I could be wrong too, but being a sanctioned topic usually means these cases should go to AE, so that's all why I've stuck with AE. I definitely hear you though that AE hasn't been perfect either though. Kingofaces43 (talk) 02:10, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Your reversion was quite inappropriate. Keep in mind that this is the talk page of the Heartland Institute, and a specific section discussing a specific statement in the article. A newish editor, @Poodleboy: who can be forgiven for not yet knowing how things work, started with an on topic response to Heartland issues, but then began a rambling rant on various global warming issues, which are interesting but have no bearing on the Heartland issue. I didn't collapse the discussion as an administrator but as an editor. The other editor is quite welcome to start a new section but links to articles such as the deep ocean explanation for the hiatus, while quite interesting, are unrelated to the Heartland discussion. I respectfully request that you reverse your reversion and help explain to this new editor how to contribute in a positive way.--S Philbrick(Talk) 16:27, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hubertgrove (talk • contribs) 18:43, 4 July 2017

Hi, I noticed that you placed a notice on my talk page regarding the Climate change discretionary sanctions notice. Now, all I have done on the topic was change some cumbersome wording in the Wikipedia article on John Christy, and propose in the talk page to amend the title of the "climate change denial". You also reverted my changes on the John Christy page. If could you please elaborate on the reason for posting the sanctions notice on my talk page, and tell me why you believe that my changes to John Christy's page were not an improvement, that would be helpful.

Guettarda - I did use the edit summary for my initial change to John Christy's page and to my latest revert. Unfortunately, Shock Brigade Harvester Boris didn't put any useful info in the edit summary when undoing my change, and did not use the talk page, so I cannot know where I went wrong. I thought my edit was helpful and improved the quality of the article. If Shock Brigade Harvester Boris disagrees and does not think it is an improvement, I would like to know why.

SBHB - I reverted that inappropriate comment because it was from a vandal, and have seen other users do the same thing at his page, (and at Jimbo's page) so why did you choose to revert mine, considering my name was also included and I didn't want it to be associated with such nonsense? I figured Drmies would have known what I did the same way I know what gets posted and removed on my TP.Atsme📞📧 23:34, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
@JoKalliauer: has done an excellent job on a replacement for File:Climate science opinion2.png. Ordered per my perceived quality:
JoKalliauer appears to have bypassed the Wikirenderer by converting the text to a path. You can see the files on my commons talk page: c:User talk:Jim1138#Graphics village pump What do you think about replacement of File:Climate science opinion2.png with one of these?
