Hello. Is there a specific reason for removing a part of the Lentil rice article? Serving this specific food for Nazr in Iran is quite traditional and well-documented. Please check it out. Arbabi second (talk) 13:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

then you need to source what you want to say based on WP:RS reliable sources. The current sources are rather weak and dont really stand up to our requirements. - Roxy the dog 13:39, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this [1] proof is enough or not? Arbabi second (talk) 13:47, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know Farsi, so I cannot help. - Roxy the dog 13:48, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But you could delete, whereas it would be better if this was left to someone who knows Persian. After all, it was not so dangerous that it had to be deleted absolutely right away. Arbabi second (talk) 13:54, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! In your reversion of an edit I made you wrote "As b4. your heirarchy arguement makes no sense. defining characteristic". I was wondering what you mean by b4.? If this is short for "before," could you explain why my argument doesn't make any sense, i.e. what the flaw in my logic is? And what do you mean by "defining characteristic"? —Kri (talk) 09:42, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for not replying, not too well at the moment. Will respond when I have a keyboard Roxy the dog 13:14, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that you will be doing better soon! —Kri (talk) 18:21, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you're doing as well as possible, Roxy. Bishonen | tålk 18:09, 3 May 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Oh, my goodness, from me too. I'm glad you say that it's not life-threatening. But please know that you are in my thoughts. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:10, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I really messed up my user page, and I’m very unhappy with this page following my recent stupidity. People provide me with good examples of how to behave, and I’ve fallen short again. When I get to a keyboard I’ll fill in some detail, but ironically in the hopefully not too distant future, I’ll be having some abdominal surgery, rather like another of my examples to follow, but much less serious.Roxy the dog 12:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about any of that. As I say all too frequently, this is only a website. What matters is getting back to good health. All the best wishes for your upcoming surgery. There will be plenty of time after that for editors to cut you another a-hole (that was a very bad joke). --Tryptofish (talk) 21:00, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like bad jokes. Roxy the dog 21:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poor little user be having abominable surgery! bishzilla _ROARR!! pocket 07:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Truth be told, my abomin has been acting up lately. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Such mixed feelings - sorry that you are under the weather, initially concerned, then relieved when I read it was nothing serious. I just hope your hospital knows the latest research: your recovery is directly linked to the amount of ice cream they give you. --Gronk Oz (talk) 03:24, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

XXX000 from the cats. Sgerbic (talk) 04:30, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks everyone. To be clear, the surgery is way back on the unscheduled back burner.

I am in the heamotology ward, being pumped full of antibiotics to try to control whatever it is effecting my leukaemia treatment. I think. Like I said, not life threatening but they’ve shackled me to a bed for a couple more days at least.

GOD SAVE KING JUG EARS. Roxy the dog 12:16, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Terribly sorry to hear about this. Good luck. Hope an operation won't be necessary. I certainly know I'd never want another one. Doug Weller talk 13:45, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In honor (oh, excuse me, honour) of the crowning (no reference to childbirth intended, believe me!), I'd like to post this, but it's NFCC, so I'll just link: File:Jughead issue 1.jpg. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:49, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roxy, I am so sorry to hear about your struggles. You are unbelievably strong and an inspiration to many. As someone who remains in remission I want to see you beat this. I share in Doug's hope that surgery will be unnecessary. Much love! --ARoseWolf 14:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An update. Am still here, pumped full of antibiotics and tasting horrible metallic flavours instead of food. Had a cat scan, looking at Lymph nodes and CLL issues. Co incidentally the full scan confirmed an inguinal hernia, comically huge, which is where surgery comes in, when I get on a list. Back burner stuff for now. have no idea when I’ll be out, but also wanted to thank people here for their concern. Roxy the dog 04:26, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. Have to admit, it would be odd if a cat scan found any cats inside of a dog.[1] But seriously, I've had an inguinal hernia surgery myself, and it's not as bad as it sounds. Sorry about the bad flavors and other travails, but hang in there, you're gonna be fine! --Tryptofish (talk) 20:42, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[1] [2] (warning: animal abuse). Roxy, hopefully your master treats you better and you recover soon! DMacks (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Arggh just seen this. Best Wishes & All Power to you recovery Roxy! Bon courage (talk) 04:44, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  It is official. Out later, made bail. Roxy the dog 10:47, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Conga-rats! Eluding bail-bondsmen and fugitive-capture teams will be a good pracice for the ultimate challenge (if you're in the US): dealing with health insurance companies. DMacks (talk) 17:41, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Glad to hear it! --Tryptofish (talk) 20:29, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Been home almost 24 hrs, and am totally exhausted, have been catching up on sleep, picking favourite foods (Marmite for eg). Roxy the dog 13:45, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Isn't Marmite the crappy Vegimite alternative? Or is it the other way around? Anyway, I'm really glad to hear it went well. Hope you fully recover soon. - Bilby (talk) 13:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Just checking back – how are you doing? --Tryptofish (talk) 22:32, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I've been back twice since I got out, once for a terrifying bronchial lavage camera jobby that turned out as easy as pie with the sedation and Comical Consultant. I woke up not remembering anything but saying "NNNnng nnng hhnnng" a lot. I've just had a letter from him saying stuff that I will have to look up!

  The second was a comedy scan of my groin, using gallons of lube, and all dignity forgotton. "Hold your penis out of my way" said scan guy, and I got to look at both my testicles on the screen, and we jointly discovered two hernias, though officially scan guy cannot diagnose and I wait for official info. - Roxy the dog 12:35, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Doesn't sound good at all. I'm glad I'm at the stage when only chemo can help (if you saw my talk page, 30% chance of it being effective, and I was lucky - it stopped any growth. So next year instead of this year hopefully. Doug Weller talk 12:45, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'll be honest Doug, I get chills at the calm and matter of fact way you are dealing with things, and can only admire that. I'm sure I'm not the only one. - Roxy the dog 12:51, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Much appreciated. Doug Weller talk 13:57, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I admire how both of you are handling it. Roxy, are you sure that lube thing wasn't, um, some extracurricular activity? --Tryptofish (talk) 20:26, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! @Roxy the dog

I noticed that you reverted my recent edit on the "Ideological Bias on Wikipedia" article, and I wanted to discuss it with you.

To better clarify; in my edit, I changed the sentence about Larry Sanger to make it more neutral by removing the negative tone (it seemed to imply that Sanger's criticism was unwarranted simply because he was laid off from Wikipedia).

My proposed change is:

 The co-founder of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, has been a critic of Wikipedia since his departure from the project as an editorial employee in 2002.

as opposed to:

 The co-founder of Wikipedia Larry Sanger has been a critic of Wikipedia ever since he was laid off as the only editorial employee and departed from the project in 2002.

I'm open to discussion so that our edits are in the best interest of the article; ensuring that the article is informative yet unbiased.

Thanks! KyKatriza (talk) 17:11, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion should be opened by you at the article talk page, thanks. Roxy the dog 17:41, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

KyKatriza, it's interesting that you pretended at first to be merely concerned with grammar and sentence structure when you removed the fact that Sanger was "laid off", but when you started edit warring about it, as well as here on Roxy's page, your reason had morphed into being removal of the "negative" wording. Which was it really? Bishonen | tålk 21:03, 11 May 2023 (UTC).[reply]

Ah, my apologies. It's my first time discussing a revert, so I didn't know the standard procedure (yikes!). Thanks for the BRD link! KyKatriza (talk) 10:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to say thank you a lot for jumpscaring me with the stupid fly I now have a better insight into the meaning of life The Tips of Apmh 16:32, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are entirely welcome !! - Roxy the dog 16:33, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Roxy the dog. Thank you. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 10:01, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think thats a tremendous overreaction. Manning is well known by both names. - Roxy the dog 10:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure but unless she has indicated it's fine which AFAIK she has not, her dead name should not be mentioned on Wikipedia except when needed per MOS:GENDERID which is very very rare for a user comment. It does not matter how well known the name is. Nor how often people do so elsewhere, whether because they're unaware of the deadname issue, or who are and are transphobic. On Wikipedia it's not how we do things. Considering your activity in this area, you really should know this already and I can understand why Maddy is so concerned that you don't seem to. Nil Einne (talk) 15:02, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But that horse has bolted, The point here is that her pretransition name isn't a deadname. What Maddy is doing is standard transexual hounding of people they dont like. - Roxy the dog 15:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:GENDERID it is on Wikipedia unless she has indicated otherwise. If you aren't willing to accept that then you can fuck off from at a minimum anything to do with BLPs and transgender issues, but frankly all of Wikipedia. Nil Einne (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

lovely. - Roxy the dog 15:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roxy, what exactly do you mean by "standard transexual hounding"? If you are implying what I think you're implying, that is blatant discrimination. – bradv 15:39, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been thinking about this over lunch, and I can't come up with any interpretation for the above comment other than you intended to make a personal attack against (a) Maddy from Celeste, and (b), all trans people. As this is by no means your first such offence, and you have been repeatedly warned about this in the past (including formally by ArbCom), I have blocked your account for 2 weeks to prevent further disruption to the project. I will leave a comment at the ongoing ANI thread to this effect, as they will likely wish to tailor this remedy further. – bradv 17:14, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Brad.

To me, this is a confirmation of the trope, and unfair, as I am now unable to defend myself against the pile-on that is confirming the trope also. People are actually telling outright lies at ANI about me now that I cannot refute them. How do you feel about that? - Roxy the dog 21:17, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Confirmation of the trope" – what trope? The blatantly xenophobic comment you made above? You're really going to double down on that? – bradv 21:36, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean transphobic or did Roxy say something xenophobic now as well? Dronebogus (talk) 22:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm --Tryptofish (talk) 22:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know, Trypto. - Roxy the dog 22:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Brad, Do you know what Xenophopic means? Hmmm. ? Roxy the dog 22:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before you dig a deeper hole, it means fear of people who are different than you are. (In this case, trans people.) --Tryptofish (talk) 22:15, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It generally refers to foreigners in common parlance Dronebogus (talk) 22:16, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, foreigners. - Roxy the dog 22:24, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn’t excuse the fact that your above comment was blatantly transphobic and indefensible Dronebogus (talk) 22:26, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied to Brad below, you have both misinterpreted my comment. - Roxy the dog 22:28, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Let me refer everyone to xenophobia. Roxy, my advice is that you should consider focusing on demonstrating an understanding of those concerns that are legitimate, and a desire to do better, rather than arguing over what you think are mistakes by others. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:43, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brad, do you really want me to explain what I mean by the trope. It has nothing to do with doubling down on any previous comment I made. - Roxy the dog 22:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Um… what IS the trope? Dronebogus (talk) 22:36, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I just looked up Trope (literature) and Trope (disambiguation) and the word Trope clearly doesn't mean what I thought it meant. It is a bit sloppy, but perhaps we could settle on the word trend instead? - Roxy the dog 22:43, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand what “trend” means in this context either… Dronebogus (talk) 22:45, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you mean bandwagon effect? Schazjmd (talk) 22:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roxy, deciding the right words for how you feel about the way people reacted to your comments is a waste of time. There is an emerging consensus at ANI that you will be site banned, full stop. You are running out of time to explain that you understand what other people have said, and that you can make constructive contributions in areas outside of gensex. Anything less than that, the train has already left the station. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:50, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the only way this could be construed less damagingly is if what was meant was standard "transsexual language hounding" not "hounding by transsexual people" and even then it's not great. I'd suggest self-imposing a gensex TBAN and concentrating on other areas. Also, Roxy, are you on any weird meds following the above? Bon courage (talk) 04:57, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will third that Roxy; you really need to clarify what you meant by that. I get just being tired of things and feeling hounded to the point of not responding, but clearly addressing What Maddy is doing is standard transexual hounding of people they dont like.[3] is really the one thing that needs to be done. Specifically, what did you mean by "standard transexual hounding"? Some have read that very differently that others. I thought the same thing as Bon courage above initially when reading it, but I don't want to put words in your mouth. Others will though at this point if you don't. KoA (talk) 05:42, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been on an ssri Fuouxetine, and a half dozen BP medications for longer than I've been here, and I have just ended a two year course of Venetoclax. The side effects leaflet on that stuff is huge, and printed in teeny tiny letters that are impossible to read, even with my reading glasses. - Roxy the dog 06:33, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roxy, I intend to give you every opportunity to explain yourself – I've even asked you several times to do so. If there is an adequate explanation for these comments that is not discriminatory, abusive, or hostile toward other editors, I'm sure ANI would like to hear it as well. So yes, please, post your explanation and I will copy it to ANI on your behalf. – bradv 23:09, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Brad.

Clearly the community has decided that I am unsuitable to be making any contributions in the Gensex area of the project. I cannot but accept this. I note that I haven't done so since my much more narrowly constructed Topic Ban.

My comment to Maddy on Silktork's talk page bears examining as ST just didn't deadname her. Her pre and post transition names are well known and in her article here, in the first sentence.

Perhaps an examination of the reason I was at the Silktork page may bring some enlightenment. SeeUser talk:CompromisingSuggestion That admittedly minor example and the vast majority of my 30k odd contributions over many years surely speak in mitigation. I have been and would like to continue be a positive contributer to the project.

I would be obliged if before you post this to ANI, you might allow Trypto to comment/advize. Thank you. Roxy the dog 07:00, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So this section, about a block, is 90% people arguing over the terms "xenophobic" and "trope". Wow, y'all really have a great interest in resolving this issue, doncha. --Golbez (talk) 03:55, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
