Sizzle! The trout you used to slap another Wikipedian has been gutted, roasted over the coals, and served with tartar sauce. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that, just like the trout in this picture, you have overused your {{trout}}.

Talk:2022 COVID-19 protests in China

Please reread the discussion on Talk:2022 COVID-19 protests in China. What I wrote was not intended as a joke and was not "trolling". 50.230.201.134 (talk) 21:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

you genuinely think that covid-19 was created by the biden administration? where did you get this information from?? lettherebedarklight晚安 06:57, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, COVID-19 was created by the Biden campaign. I don't think that this is true, I know that it is, and as some of the Wikipedia pages on theories about COVID-19 say, this is a widespread belief in Asia as well.

The fact that this is censored by the mainstream media does not mean that it is too controversial to add to Wikipedia. Wikipedia acknowledges for instance that many mass shootings are theorized to be false flag operations set up by Democrats when this is completely off limits in the media. In the case of the Coronavirus, it is even more black and white - there are no Chinese scientists "pulling a trigger" - the federal government oversees the activity of scientists around the world and these are people who were just doing their jobs. There is a long history of the United States doing the exact same thing in the past with both airborne illnesses and train stations in China, with the Hong Kong flu and Asian flu as basic examples.

I happen to know for a fact that the Biden campaign created COVID-19, but just from the circumstances it should already be a no-brainer for anyone with any knowledge of history that it was created by the US government. The idea of a "lab leak" - that a virus unexpectedly escaped from a laboratory and then ran amok infecting hundreds of millions of people - is the topic of a science fiction movie. And the idea that the Chinese government deliberately created the virus, which the US government has been desperate to sell in the media, is a complete farce. 50.230.201.134 (talk) 01:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

where?

The idea of a "lab leak" - that a virus unexpectedly escaped from a laboratory and then ran amok infecting hundreds of millions of people - is the topic of a science fiction movie. And the idea that the Chinese government deliberately created the virus, which the US government has been desperate to sell in the media, is a complete farce.

that's not even what the mainstream press is saying, they're saying that it originated when someone was infected in wuhan by an animal carrying the disease.

besides, i could come up with a million other possibilities other than created by the US government. it was created by aliens! the village of honeywood! a mad scientist from belarus! lettherebedarklight晚安 05:00, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

At one point (before the Uvalde shooting and Biden's "disinformation board" incidentally) the page for the Sandy Hook shooting linked to the page for false flagging or vice-versa. Currently the page for Marjorie Taylor Greene contains a lot of claims made by her about mass shootings as false flag operations. She makes other claims that seem crazy, but this is something that is well-known and she is just the only politician willing to talk about it. This is why Wikipedia even posts things like Bill Clinton's reactions to the Columbine shooting.

As another editor pointed out, the Coronavirus has been around for nearly a century. So the idea of it suddenly going from one person being infected by a bat to hundreds of millions of people around the world being infected in a matter of months is obviously fishy. To answer your question of why it should implicate the government and not your other suspects, number one this is something that requires organization and control over the population that only governments have. And number two, none of your suspects made trillions of dollars off of the pandemic, the US government did. 50.230.201.134 (talk) 22:36, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

also, the point of wikipedia is to reflect what the mainstream press is saying. lettherebedarklight晚安 05:06, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

The biggest story in the news media right now is the attack on the Biden administration's censorship on Twitter. What I have written is at the heart of his multi-trillion dollar scam operation Presidential campaign. 50.230.201.134 (talk) 22:40, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Help

You replied to User_talk:LEGENDARY_VIP at afchelp and told him that his (incomprehensible) draft was rejected.

I happened to look at his most recent edit, https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Espionage&diff=prev&oldid=1130250685 and it's weird. He has removed some ref tags and replaced them with bracketed numbers like [1]. I am not sure if a simple rollback is appropriate, or what.

Wait, he is still editing. Is this a time for AIV? I am still fairly new. Thanks. David10244 (talk) 08:20, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@david10244: i am a horrible judge of these things, but you could definitely take them to aiv as they have a final warning for vandalism. lettherebedarklight晚安 15:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Aaditya Mangalam

Hello, Lettherebedarklight,

I'd really appreciate if you could be a little more understanding to brand new editors who don't understand how Wikipedia works. I just deleted this page because it was obviously unsuitable for the project. But that doesn't mean that you have to treat the editors rudely. I don't know if you are answering these types of questions all day and are kind of burned out but try to remember that this is a new editor who has come to AFC for help. Just a simple, neutral "This content is unsuitable" is better than "don't give us nonsense". This effort was clearly important to this person even though it only lasted a few minutes before it was deleted. Please remember that AFC Help might be the first encounter a new editor has with an experienced editor and can leave a lasting impression about the culture here. Thanks for all of your contributions on the project! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:40, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Article: Liancourt Rocks

Hello, Lettherebedarklight.

I'm concerned that your closing statement in Talk:Liancourt Rocks only contains the result of requested move, and not additional comment on the rationale or explanation. WP:RMCI states that "Non-administrators are reminded that closing a discussion calls for an impartial assessment of consensus or lack of it, although arguments supported by directly relevant policy and guidelines are given more weight (while keeping broader Wikipedia policy, guidelines, and consensus in mind). Any editor wishing to express an opinion on the requested move should join the discussion, not close it." While I'm aware that additional comment is not necessary, but it shows that how the closer reached the result and whether or not the closer impartially assessed the debate among participants.

I'd really appreciate if you could add additional comment on the talk page. 아이서울유 (talk) 07:47, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Teahouse

At the Teahouse, you inexplicably wrote we don't have content policies. Where did you get that notion? We have three interrelated and mandatory core content policies, which are Verifiability, the Neutral point of view and OR|No original research. We have essential content policies about Biographies of living people and Copyright compliance and other things as well. Please do not answer policy questions when it is clear that you are not conversant with the actual policies. Cullen328 (talk) 08:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

i meant content policies in the sense that the asker meant it. lettherebedarklight晚安 10:04, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Citation Archive

Thanks for your good faith non-admin close. I don't think anybody's going to object to this closure, but I'll take a liberty and give critique: normally, we shouldn't close a deletion procedure early in a case where the nominator has withdrawn their nom, but at least one other participant has asserted delete. I would have left the process to run its full seven days. In this instance, I think your keep closure was a correct reading of the discussion and I believe the outcome would have been the same if you'd allowed the process to continue. I encourage you to continue closing in obvious cases to get a feel for the process (and make a few mistakes, frankly). Please accept this call-out as such encouragement, not any sort of warning. If you ever need help, feel free to call on me. Thanks for your efforts. BusterD (talk) 13:21, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
