Wikipedia:The Asia-Oceania Destubathon

[edit]

Hi, you are invited to participate in the The Asia-Oceania Destubathon in November in support of Wikipedia:Asian Month. £2000 (about US$ 2,689.54) in prizes. We're hoping to see a lot of stub articles improved for Asian countries. If you are from a country in Asia or have a keen interest in contributing to Asia as you have with the Asian 10,000 Challenge, it would be great to have you on board. It's a good opportunity to be rewarded for your work on the country/countries you usually contribute on. All of the articles produced for Asia will be tipped into the Asian challenge in the end anyway, and we will likely then need to increase the 10,000 Challenge to a 20,000 Challenge as we've been doing so well! Sign up if interested! Even if not competing for prizes you are welcome to participate in it as an editathon. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:32, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi User:Dr. Blofeld, I'll look into it, but I probably won't participate in any competition (I never have on wp), Good luck, anyway! Huldra (talk) 22:24, 25 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hi Huldra. Many people participate in it as an editathon and don't compete for prizes and enjoy seeing thousands of stubs improved. You're welcome anyway! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:51, 26 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
ok, thanks, Huldra (talk) 22:24, 26 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

The ADL

[edit]

They're implying that they are stalking editors who disagree with them. Given your voting record at the 2024 RfC, it is likely that you are one of those that they are stalking. ғѳmɑɭʱɑυե (Any pronouns)ᵀᵃˡᵏ 10:08, 29 October 2026 (UTC)Reply

Concerning message on WP:Reliable sources/noticeboard

[edit]

@Huldra, in regards to your concerning message on RS:Noticeboard .

There shouldn't be "Pro-Israel editors" and "Anti-Israel editors", there should simply be Wikipedia editors, and they should believe in NPOV and the mission of creating an encyclopedia. If they have their own opinions in real life, offline, then theoretically that's okay, as long as they can set those biases aside for the sake of maintaining NPOV on Wikipedia.

CPOV editors censor or promote information according to their biases, delete reliable sources that contradict their opinions, and often try to correct great wrongs. Wikipedia editors shouldn't be throwing around aspersions through loaded words like "hasbara" or "taqiyya" or accusing people of getting paid "$$$$$," as that's highly inappropriate and symptomatic of acute bias. They should promote a variety of sources representing a variety of viewpoints, as long as those viewpoints are coming from credible reliable sources and not from paid government propaganda. And they should definitely not cast aspersions on other editors on English language Wikipedia for speaking and writing in English.

I am urgently asking you to reconsider your disposition and review Wikipedia policies about neutrality. Can you agree to take a step back and a deep breath? Perhaps consider editing other categories outside PIA for a while. There is a lot of backlog to get through. Scharb (talk) 20:16, 5 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

'teaching your grandmother to suck eggs' = 'teaching crocodiles how to swim' etc. etc. Sean.hoyland (talk) 03:45, 6 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
To User:Scharb: Obviously, NPOV is the rule, however, it is also a fact that nearly countless blogs, X-accounts etc off-wiki routinely refer to named wp-accounts as "Pro-Israel editors" or "Anti-Israel editors". And since this was about off-wiki, ADL, who actually used the name "anti-Israel", I feel quite justified using the same words, discussing ADL. (Ater all, nobody has ever, AFAIK, threaten "pro-Israeli" editors with outing).
And thank you for teaching me a new word; taqiyya: I had no idea as to its meaning.
As for Hasbara; as you can see here, its funding has increased manyfold times this last couple of years, at the very same time as new X-accounts/blogs focusing on "anti-Israel" wp-editors have exploded. Coincidence? Hardly.
As for ADL: as Zero said in the discussion, it had "Declared revenue for 2025: $135 million." I'll call $ 135000000 for "$$$$$" any day.
Stating facts is not casting aspersions. Have a nice day, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, User:Sean.hoyland: I wonder if I should change my nick to "Grandmother Crocodile", ....or just "Granny Croc"? Huldra (talk) 21:11, 6 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
Many years ago my stomach was rumbling from hunger at work and my Somali nerd collegue said (in their third language) "You have a crococodilee in your stomach". I've pronounced it that way ever since. It just seems better. So maybe Granny Crocodilee. It has some music to it. Also, rotating account names is a fun way to mess with incompetant analysts, whiny social media fools etc. tracking stuff by account name. Sean.hoyland (talk) 04:25, 7 November 2026 (UTC)Reply
