Talk:Constance Garnett

When, where and how Constance Garnett learned Russian
So she studies Latin and Greek, then teaches in a school, and then all of a sudden in her early thirties starts translating Russian masterpieces? Aren't we missing some important info here? Did her knowledge of Russian (which we can assume to be fairly profound) spring up from nowhere? Some clarification needed.Palefire 02:25, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
 * ODNB says "the Russian exile F. V. Volkhovsky . . . the latter taught her Russian and supervised her first translation exercise, Goncharov's Obyknovennaya istoriya (A Common Story).", this was not in Cambridge (as the current version of the WP article states) but after her marriage in 1889. === Vernon White  (talk)  22:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

The quality of Consatnce Garnett's translations from the Russian
(Response to first contribution in last paragraph)
 * I speak Russian, but I've also read several of Garnett's dreadful translations. "Profound" is not an adjective I would apply to her knowledge of Russian. :-) --da blaze  08:15, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, her translations are notoriously weak, and if there had been more competition around at the time she would probably never have had her stuff published. But all the same, by any non-professional standards, she must have known Russian fairly well to have waded through all those weighty tomes.  I work as a freelance Russian-English translator, and I can imagine what a Herculean task translating War and Peace would be.  And I really don't see how a Latin and Greek teacher managed it at all.Palefire 08:26, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)

 * I'd be interested in some specific criticisms of her work as to its inaccuracy, and the types of passages she excised, as well as some references to those criticisms levelled against Garnett. Some worthy alternative translations would also be appreciated. Otherwise, what we have here is unhelpful hearsay.--24.7.10.194 17:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems that for everyone who excoriates Garnett, there's another critic who thinks her work had its advantages. I think those concerned about Garnett's howlers should first assure themselves that other translators don't have similar faults.  --Andersonblog 19:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I would have to agree that other translators often make mistakes that Garnett is guilty of. However, does anyone know if it was the style of the time to make similar translations?  For example, her translation of Crime and Punishment (my version at least) only translated the Russian.  The French sayings were left as they were (in French).  There was also a noticable lack of footnotes (I believe there was three in the entire novel;  maybe four) was this the way novels were typically translated at the time, or was it her personal decision?  Nowadays, anything that is translated (T. S. Elliot's The Wasteland, for example) is translated entirely and the footnotes are occassionally longer than the text itself.  --204.57.107.52 (talk) 20:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That's odd, because I just finished reading her translation of The Brothers Karamazov and all non-English phrases (i.e. French, etc.) were translated, even though some of them were pretty evident (to me, at least). The endnotes weren't overly abundant, but they did exist.  I don't know, however, if this is just an outside editor or the actual author.  I have chosen a different translator as I now begin Crime and Punishment (Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky) Vincent Valentine 13:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

translation date of Lady With Lapdog
Hi, the translated text of Lady With Lapdog doesnt indicate when it was translated. As I understand it, unless we know when, it is a possible copyvio, however Project Gutenburg has published it so perhaps I am wrong. Any ideas? John Vandenberg 13:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * A bookseller is offering on AbeBooks: THE TALES OF TCHEHOV, VOL. 3; THE LADY WITH THE DOG AND OTHER STORIES; Chatto & Windus (1919). Does that help?  == Vernon White  (talk)  22:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * this one ... certainly does help ... from that it appears to be, and it was published in the US , which is sufficient to verify the translation was done before 1923 (see s:Template:PD-1923).  John Vandenberg 23:18, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * That begs the question, is "Lady With Lapdog" the same as "The lady with the dog" ? Also, the OCLC metadata for the US edition doesnt mention Garnett. John Vandenberg 23:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * From the UCL catalogue, there is a Chekhov short story "Dama s sobachkoĭ" and BABELFISH translates "sobachkoĭ" as "dog" not "lapdog". ===Vernon White (talk)  17:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * If I'm not mistaken, 'dog' is "sobaka", which would make "sobachka" a diminutive that could reasonably be rendered 'lapdog'. Douglas W. Boone, 15-Apr-2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.138.4.58 (talk) 14:12, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Picture of Garnett?
I'm too ignorant to put an image in the article, but this site has a photo that would appear to be in the public domain. --Andersonblog 19:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ending on a positive note
I've added a few minor points to this article to freshen it up. Also, I think it's important to end on a positive note. After all, in spite of her blunders (and all translators make them more often than their readers know!) she single-handedly introduced the giants of Russian literature to readers of English. Her work had an enormous impact on English literature.

Her only serious competition was the American translator Isabel Hapgood (1850-1928), who was a friend of Tolstoy. Hapgood's translations sound wooden and awkward, at least to my ears.

--Jrusk (talk) 14:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't want to be too pedantic, but I'm considering editing this article based on the statement that 'she single-handedly introduced the giants of Russian literature to readers of English'. Whilst I acknowledge that she made significant contributions for many major authors, George Calderon's translations of The Cherry Orchard and The Seagull appeared in 1912, whereas Garnett's were published about a decade later in 1923. Calderon also introduced much of the terminology used to describe Chekhov's theatrical method (centrifugal method, group emotions, etc), but unfortunately died in the first world war.

A reference for this is his translation of the above-mentioned plays, edition: Two plays by Anton Tchekhov: The Seagull, The Cherry Orchard. New York, Mitchell Kennerley. 1912.

Serfork (talk) 07:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Nabokov's opinion
While I know it was rather sexist, I don't remember Nabokov's exact ideal concerning male and female translation of Russian into English. Was it made specifically in reference to Constance Garnett? Could someone please make it a little more clear why it's relevant to this page? I don't feel like I have the expertise to the edits myself. IAmAaron2 (talk) 20:08, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Semantic Wikipedia

The Semantic Wikipedia would combine the properties of the Semantic Web and Wiki technology. In this enhancement, articles would have properties (or traits), which could be mixed or combined to allow articles to be members of dynamic categories, chosen by user requests. Lists would no longer be just the numerous pre-formatted list articles, but rather, a list could be dynamically created for all articles matching selected search properties.

This gives rise to the possibility of computer-generated articles, creating an article composed of pieces of other articles, such as the birth/born paragraph from several selected authors, and possibly saved as a temporary article, for a certain duration of time. Temporary articles could be saved, either in an individual user-space or in a larger group-space (shared by users with a common interest). Again, temporary articles would have a "sunset clause" so that they could be automatically deleted, later, unless the expiration date was reset.

Advantages for Wikipedia

 * Provides rich metadata
 * Advanced searches: Multiple properties could be searched:
 * Find me: Italian directors born between 1956 and 1963, that worked on films starring Jim Carrey, on films set in English-speaking countries, ....
 * Find me: All articles about German physicists, edited for images during May 20 – July 19, 2011.
 * Generate article: containing the wiki "References" sections of all American films released during June-August 1939, plus the "Cast" sections of all American films in December 1939.

 * Data for external applications/sister projects – potential for revenue ( This is Freebase's revenue model).

 * Editing Efficiency
 * Reduce duplication of data;
 * Removes need for so many manual lists to be compiled.

 * Elegance/Comprehension
 * Solves the awkward category problems (cf. WP:CI):
 * → Ethnicity:African-American From:New York
 * → US history|UK history|French History

 * (A further developed list of advantages can be found here)

Disadvantages for Wikipedia

 * Semantic MediaWiki markup syntax may be more difficult to understand for less technically inclined editors. Wikipedia aims to be open to everyone.

Data mining work in Wikipedia
Though primarily written text, Wikipedia has a very large amount of structured data, in various forms.

Categories
A semantic 'type' is very similar to a Wikipedia category, as it collects shared things together.

Categories and types often correlate very highly. Categories like 'Category:1923 deaths' are extremely strong evidence that an article is a 'foaf:Person' for example. However, if you look at Category:American Idol, you’ll find that many of the topics linked, like “Canadian Idol” or “Malaysian Idol”, are television programs, but by no means all of them. There is a topic that's actually a book written by an “Idol” judge, so that's not a TV program.

Freebase has a learning application, to make inferences based on these relationships. If any categories from Wikipedia have a high confidence of accuracy based on human votes, they start automatically asserting them rather than seeking human confirmation. These assertions can also be made manually.

Tables and lists
Wikipedia has huge numbers of structured lists and tables of well-formatted data. Dbpedia's user mappings are able to parse wikipedia tables. Some projects are underway to enable easy importing from html tables to freebase.

Infoboxes
Several projects have parsed Wikipedia templates and infoboxes, in order to allow processing of this information in different ways.

Dbpedia parses many infoboxes and offers a Sparql query service. It is preparing its live extraction framework.

Freebase has also parsed some Wikipedia templates and infoboxes, and offers dumps and an api.

Wikipedia³ is a conversion of the English Wikipedia templates into RDF. It's a monthly updated dataset containing around 47 million triples, and doesn't yet offer them over an api.

Link structure
Wikipedia's internal links provide a great deal of unambiguous structured information about co-occurrence and relatedness.

Interlanguage links can provide semantic translation.

Redirects may seem to be a good source of alias information, but prove to be very problematic. Wikipedia redirects include misspellings, previous names, Character names redirect to movies, anglicized or translated names, adjectives of nouns, and related terms - 'golf course' redirects to 'Golf'. Some data games exist hoping to find proper aliases in Wikipedia redirects manually.

Natural language
A large amount of work has gone into parsing semantic data from the text of Wikipedia articles using natural language processing.

Yahoo has done a large scale NLP analysis of wikipedia, including Sentence and token splitting, Part of Speech tagging, Named Entities recognition, and dependency parsing.

Other more modest work includes matching template sentences, and date extraction - for example, if the article is an event, the first mentioned date is likely the date it happened, etc.

Ontology
It would be very interesting to define an ontology for storing various future properties of Wikipedia articles, such as:

An article about a literary author contains information of:

 * biography
 * main works
 * style, trends he or she followed
 * review
 * bibliography
 * notes (footnotes in article)
 * references (used in article)

An article about a literary movement is related to:
 * authors that participated
 * historical episodes related to those authors biographies
 * mention to main works

And so forth: Authors related to towns, towns related to countries, countries to continents... It would help making inferences, associations, content augmentations, etc. It would also combine with robots that create templates, relating existing information into new articles.

It would be a very enriching complement to browsing and content discovery.

Adoption/Integration/Scalability
The adoption of semantic tools would leave Wikipedia vulnerable to beginners' mistakes. It therefore seems sensible to limit the rate/extent of its adoption by strategically limiting where/how it is used and/or who is allowed to implement it. Also, articles could be "pre-compiled" (or pre-screened by computer) to detect formatting problems, before being saved, or save with an auto-tag warning to other users that the saved text has potiential formatting problems.

Ontology for Wikipedia
Please feel free to develop this ontology: The goal is to have an exhausive account for all classes and properties that would sensibly be included in an ontology for Wikipedia (WP). However, an "exhaustive account" is probably not feasible, because WP already contains over 2.6 million articles (in November 2008), and it is humanly impossible for any small group of users to understand what those articles really cover. However, an ontology-generator could be developed to help define property-trees to be applied, retroactively, to large collections of existing articles, as time permits.

David Ennals, Baron Ennals

David Hedley Ennals, Baron Ennals, (19 August 1922 – 17 June 1995) was a British Labour Party politician and campaigner for human rights. He served as Secretary of State for Social Services from 1976 to 1979.

Early life and military career
Born in 1922 in Walsall, Staffordshire to Arthur Ford Ennals and his wife Jessie Edith Taylor, Ennals was educated at Queen Mary's Grammar School, Walsall and the Loomis Institute in Windsor, Connecticut on a one-year student exchange scholarship. In 1939 he was a reporter on the Walsall Observer.

In Wolverhampton on his nineteenth birthday, 19 August 1941, he enlisted in the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) and joined 9th Training Battalion (Drivers) at Alfreton. Selected for officer training, he was posted to 162 Officer Cadet Training Unit at Lanark in March 1942.

He was commissioned into the Reconnaissance Corps in September 1942 and posted to the 3rd Regiment Reconnaissance Corps (NF) (3 Recce), part of the 3rd Infantry Division. His service number was 245228. Landing in Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944, Lieutenant Ennals commanded a Contact Detachment providing wireless links between units. On the night of 28/29 June 1944 he went on a night patrol with 1st Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment who were holding the position to the right of 3 Recce to the north of Caen. The patrol was fired on and returned less Lt Ennals. He was reported as believed to be a prisoner of war. At the beginning of August 1944 Rennes Military Hospital was liberated by US troops. Amongst the patients was Lt Ennals, having been admitted on 3 July with at fracture of his right humerus. He was transferred to a UK hospital on the 14 August and classed as unfit for duty until he was invalided out with the rank of Lieutenant in 1947.

Political career
Ennals stood unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate for Richmond (Surrey) in the 1950 general election and again in 1951. He later joined the Labour Party and served as secretary to the international department at the Labour Party's head office.

In 1964 he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Dover. Following the 1966 election, Harold Wilson appointed Ennals as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Army. He moved to become Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department in 1967 under James Callaghan before being appointed as a Minister of State in the Department of Health and Social Security in 1968. He lost his government post and his seat following Labour's defeat in the 1970 general election. However, in Wilson's Resignation Honours, he was sworn of the Privy Council.

Ennals returned to parliament representing Norwich North following the February 1974 general election and was appointed Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs. In 1976 he became Secretary of State for Social Services, which he held until Labour lost power in 1979. During his tenure he appointed Sir Douglas Black to produce the Black Report (published in 1980) into health inequality. After losing his seat in the general election of 1983, he was created a life peer, as Baron Ennals, of Norwich in the County of Norfolk.

Other work
Following his exit from parliament in 1970, Ennals became Campaign Director for the National Association for Mental Health (MIND), which he served as until 1973. He became chairman in 1984, and served as president from 1989 to 1995.

After serving as secretary to the United Nations Association from 1952 to 1957, he became chairman in 1984, as well as Chairman of the Gandhi Foundation, which he held until 1995. Ennals also served as Chairman of the Anti-Apartheid Movement, from 1960 to 1964, a position that would also be held by his brother John from 1968 to 1976. However, he later came under criticism from the Movement for his involvement in passing the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1968.

In 1987 Lord Ennals went on a parliamentary fact-finding mission to Tibet and on his return to the UK he became a tireless campaigner for Tibetan independence and a friend of the 14th Dalai Lama. He joined the Tibet Society of the UK, the first Tibet support group in the world, established in 1959, and became its chairman for a number of years. He campaigned energetically and enthusiastically with it and various other UK and international Tibet support groups until his death in 1995.

Personal life
Ennals married Eleanor Maud Caddick (born 1924/1925) on 10 June 1950, and they had four children before they divorced in 1977. Later that year he married Katherine Gene Tranoy (born 1926/1927).

Ennals had an older brother, John and a younger brother Martin. Martin Ennals, was a human rights activist and Secretary-General of Amnesty International. His son, Sir Paul Ennals, is chief executive of the National Children's Bureau.

He died in 1995 of pancreatic cancer at his home in Belsize Park, London.

Extraterrestrial_skies
I stumbled upon this article, and discovered a very interesting article. I state to all:
 * ¡Extraterrestrial_skies deserves to be a featured article!

The article is a breathtaking tour of the skies of the other planets in our solar system. The has everything:
 * Pictures
 * Explanations
 * About the right length
 * An interesting subject
 * --Ŭalabio 02:29, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

 * Object for now. Article needs quite a bit of work to make FA status.
 * - Article title, should be "Atmospheres of planetary objects" or "Atmospheres of solar system objects"
 * in order to include the Moon... which since NOT A PLANET! doesnt belong.
 * I proposed moving Skies of other planets to Extraterrestrial skies on its talk-page. If now of its other editors object, I shall move it tomorrow. Ŭalabio 16:40, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)
 * - Lead in WAAAY too brief
 * - Information on Mercury reads stilted and broken.
 * - Information on Venus is 2 lines?!?!!
 * - Mars section needs reformatting badly
 * - Martian moons are NOT PLANETS! ... doesnt belong.
 * - Asteroids are NOT PLANETS!
 * This boils down to definition. Unfortunately, we define planets by fiat.  as we explore the universe, we shall have to define by definition.  My own personal definition of planets is a round object which experienced gravitational segregation.  I suppose I shall have to move the page, but I shall discuss that on the talk-page before stepping on everyone's toes. -- Ŭalabio 10:51, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)
 * Yes and the scientific definition of a planet is based on mass and common consensus has us with 9 planets. Asteroids and Moons are not planetary bodies but have been classified as "minor planets" informally. I'm not entirely opposed to having them included, but only at having them listed as planets. using the Extraterrestrial Skies as suggest below for example allows for there to be 1 section for Major Planets, 1 section for Minor Planets and Moons, 1 section for Extrasolar moons and planets. Alkivar 17:59, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * - Jupiter needs serious work as 90% of its content regards its moons.
 * this entire thing needs so much work, plus its a rehash of content from other sources, I'd almost suggest VfD on this! Alkivar 08:10, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * As for this point, it is good to collate such information. It is like trying to find the names of all of the UN-Ambassadors by going to the UN-site versus going to the sites of each nation.  The value of collation outweighs redundancy here. -- Ŭalabio 10:51, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)
 * Yes and I understand that, however this is not a list, and serves no purpose other than to replicate the content in the individual articles. This can be overcome if extensive editing of the article modifies the content to be more than just a brief rehash of individual articles. REGARDLESS of which it is not FA material Alkivar 17:59, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I moved Skies of other planets to Extraterrestrial skies. --  Ŭalabio 00:45, 2004 Dec 19 (UTC)

Arthur-Virden

Arthur-Virden is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1989, combining the former constituencies of Arthur and Virden.

Arthur-Virden was located in the southwestern corner of the province. It was bordered to the north by Riding Mountain, to the east by Spruce Woods, to the west by the province of Saskatchewan and to the south by the American state of North Dakota.

Communities in the former riding included Virden, Elkhorn, Oak Lake, Hartney, Deloraine, Melita, Reston, and Boissevain.

In 1999, the average family income was $41,338, and the unemployment rate was 4.80%. The former riding is primarily agrarian, with agriculture accounting for 32% of its industry.

Ten per cent of Arthur-Virden's residents listed German as their ethnic background. The former riding had one of the highest rates of senior citizens in the province, with 19.7% of the total population.

Arthur-Virden, and the two ridings from which it was formed, were Progressive Conservative seats from 1953 to its dissolution in 2018. The northern chunk of Arthur-Virden was absorbed by Riding Mountain, and its southern portion joined with that of Spruce Woods and Midland to form the new riding of Turtle Mountain. Doyle Piwniuk was the last MLA for Arthur-Virden, and was re-elected in the 2019 election as the MLA for the newly-formed Turtle Mountain.

Well done for taking on the redirect template. As you seem to be quite knowledgeable about the technical stuff I have a request for you. Please ignore it it doesn't appeal! Back in the day when all submissions were on the same page, we used to use a javascript to automate the process of accepting and declining submissions. It's at User:Henrik/afc-helper. This isn't really appropriate anymore because most of the reasons relate to articles and not redirects. However it would be fantastic if you could make a version on this which would produce the various options in the redirect template. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't know enough Javascript to figure out how to update it. -- kenb215 talk 04:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's okay, neither do I. By the way I just added the rollback ability to your account. I hope you find it useful, but please read WP:ROLLBACK before using. Cheers, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, how are you doing? I've just adjusted your afc mm template to use a combined template afc-c for all of these collapsed boxes, for easier maintenance. Perhaps you could check it out. You might like to tweak the colours. Secondly, I can't see any advantage in substituting these templates, can you? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:19, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm doing good. I said to subst: afc mm just to match the other templates. I think the reason for it was just site performance, which shouldn't matter much. I think your change might have messed up all the archive pages, the entries there aren't closing properly. -- kenb215 talk 04:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Uri Fineman
A tag has been placed on Uri Fineman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Exxolon (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Suggest you work on the article in userspace User:Kenb215/Uri_Fineman then move it to Uri Fineman when it's at least a stub to avoid problems. Exxolon (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Revolving restaurant

A revolving restaurant or rotating restaurant is a tower restaurant designed to rest atop a broad circular revolving platform that operates as a large turntable. The building remains stationary and the diners are carried on the revolving floor. The revolving rate varies between one and three times per hour and enables patrons to enjoy a panoramic view without leaving their seats. Such restaurants are often located on upper stories of hotels, communication towers, and skyscrapers.

Design and construction
Revolving restaurants are designed as a circular structure, with a platform that rotates around a core in the center. The center core contains the building's elevators, kitchens, or other features. The restaurant itself rests on a thin steel platform, with the platform sitting on top of a series of wheels connected to the floor of the structure. Alternatively, some designs, like one in Memphis, Tennessee, have the platform mounted on tires. A motor rotates the restaurant at less than one horsepower. The speed of rotation is noted to vary, depending on preference.

History
It is believed that Emperor Nero had a rotating dining room in his palace Domus Aurea on the Palatine Hill with a magnificent view on the Forum Romanum and Colosseum. Archaeologists unearthed what they believed to be evidence of such a dining room in 2009.

Architect and designer Norman Bel Geddes proposed a rotating restaurant for the Century of Progress, the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, although it was not built.

A barrel-shaped, but stationary, restaurant on Fernsehturm Stuttgart, a TV tower in Stuttgart, Germany, built in 1956, was noted as the inspiration for the idea of a revolving restaurant. A revolving restaurant on Florianturm, a TV tower in Dortmund, Germany, was brought into service in 1959.

The Egyptian architect Naoum Shebib designed the Cairo Tower with a revolving restaurant at its top, which opened in April 1961.

The first revolving restaurant in the Balkans was built on the top floor of the OTE tower as part of the 34th Thessaloniki International Fair in 1965. The revolving restaurant was then closed, but has been in continued service since 1969.

John Graham, a Seattle architect and early shopping mall pioneer, is said to be the first in the United States to design a revolving restaurant, at La Ronde, atop an office building at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu in 1961. Graham was awarded US patent 3125189 for the invention in 1964, and used the technology to build the former revolving "Eye of the Needle" restaurant at the top of Seattle's Space Needle, drawings of which appear in the patent application.

Safety
One death has been attributed to the operation of a rotating restaurant. On April 14, 2017, a five-year-old boy was wedged between the rotating part of the restaurant and a wall at the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:24, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Can you please explain your rationale?
You have got to be kidding me. IBAN on me and not the other two?!

Let's rehash the !votes and discount the subject's opinions (Support/oppose/neutral):
 * IBAN on me: (4/0/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, MI*
 * IBAN on IG: (4/0/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, MI
 * IBAN on CV: (4/0/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, MI

Let's rehash the !votes with the subject's opinions:
 * IBAN on me: (5/1/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, MI, CV/Buffs
 * IBAN on IG: (5/1/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, Buffs, MI/CV
 * IBAN on CV: (5/1/0) GoldenRing, Swarm, GMG, Buffs, MI/CV

* MI, inexplicably, wrote "Support per Buffs", so I'm assuming that's on everyone. I asked for clarification. He declined, so I'm guessing he's a supporter across the board but he could have meant he supported me.

Note: IG appears not to have clearly specified an opinion on the subject per se.

Lastly, your conclusion states I'm guilty of inappropriate, significant hostility, and incivility. WHERE?!?!

You've effectively given these others carte blanche to revert any/all changes of mine and I have no recourse. Buffs (talk) 03:13, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Hello. I’ve been expecting you, although as you’ll see I should not have. Welcome, briefly, to my talk page.

 * I understand that you might not approve of the outcome, and that you might be frustrated right now. Quickly, and in the heat of the moment, is not the best time to do… well, anything at Wikipedia. Note that my job as volunteer closer was not to inject my own opinion, only to summarise the existing consensus. It’s a fiddly clerking task. I’m fairly wonkish, so I care more about things running well than about the personalities or opinions involved. Getting up in my face about the execution of this task is not how to proceed.

 * To answer your “where” question expediently, you’ve demonstrating inappropriate hostility here already. (See below for why here is inappropriate. See WP:CIVIL [and WP:AGF] for why the content is.) If you don’t yet recognise that, then you might consider taking time for some reflection on how you post here. Apart from self-reflection, I must advise you that I’m an admin who doesn’t take personalised guff, so you probably don’t want to pursue the strategy on display in that discussion further with me directly, especially if skipping the self-reflection. See below, however, for avenues of pursuit.

 * The correct place to contest a discussion close is not on the talk page of the closer. See WP:CLOSECHALLENGE for the correct procedure.

 * Also be aware that policy is that consensus is not about votes. That’s why Wikipedia tasks uninvolved closers to evaluate consensus instead of simply counting votes, which any bot could do. As you are a strong advocate of following policy, I’m sure you’ll understand that simply counting votes would have been a dereliction of my duty.

 * I expect this completes our interaction on this subject. Before you are tempted to reply anyway, please review the second and especially third paragraphs of this reply, and consider not doing so, in favour of using the prescribed avenue for challenging a discussion close. — Saxifrage ✎ 04:26, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm very confused. The proscribed procedure in Closing_discussions is "For other procedures...contact the editor who performed the closure and try to resolve the issue through discussion". Buffs (talk) 05:25, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Sorry I was unclear. I got the impression that you wanted to relitigate the dispute, which if one reads between the lines there, shouldn’t be brought to the closing user. On second read you may be simply objecting to the accuracy of my summary, in which case bringing it to me was fine.

 * To be very clear though, what your question here asked does not change my evaluation of the discussion. It did not present new information or context, or point out a procedural error. It does object to the summary, but by making the argument that I miscounted the votes—but counting votes is not part of correct closing and so that is not a persuasive point. Since it lacked substance presenting new material or clear procedural errors, demanded my reasoning (which was already fully supplied in the comment on the close), and because of the yelling, I mistook it for simple objection to the outcome rather than a request for review.

 * Re-evaluating your question as merely a request for review, I still have to decline to change the conclusion of the close. I don’t think I made an error. In such a case where the closing user declines to reconsider, or when it’s an objection of conclusion rather than procedure, WP:CLOSECHALLENGE notesyou can request a review on the self-same Administrators’ Noticeboard. — Saxifrage ✎ 16:35, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm not interested in relitigating anything or even challenging the conclusion, per se, but I am confused by your rationale and would appreciate clarification. I'm not saying your summary is incorrect; it's your opinion and, by virtue of your position, it stands, I suppose. You're saying it's consensus, but I don't see how that's possible with the given evidence and positions taken by the participants. And that's what I need clarification on. It seems to me that something that IG/CV/MI said must have been more persuasive. Conversely, perhaps something I said wasn't persuasive. If so, what were they? If there is something that the community wants me to change, then I should at least know what it is, not just "Buffs has been uncivil, etc" with no specifics. How on earth can I (or others) possibly change behavior without knowing what was "wrong" or "right"?
 * I'm well aware of !votes (it's in my initial comments). Buffs (talk) 21:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

A two-way IBAN was proposed. One of the people who would have been subject to it proposed a one-way IBAN instead. No-one else supported a one-way IBAN. How on earth do you find consensus for it??? GoldenRing (talk) 17:02, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I considered the substance and quality of evidence offered (as closing advice directs) and the number of people in support, for each individual under discussion. I noted that support for IBANs for everyone was too muddy for consensus. I found that the argument for Buffs behaviour being egregiously hostile was overwhelming solid, and the facts were not contested by uninvolved commentors. A one-way IBAN for Buffs was proposed as an alternative; for egregious incivility, that fit. As the only consensus that emerged was on Buffs behaviour, and IBANs were the point of the discussion, that’s the remedy for the consensus misbehaviour. That is what shook out of that mess. — Saxifrage ✎ 04:08, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * This is exceptionally unclear. What is the "egregiously hostile" behavior of which I am guilty? Which "facts were not contested by uninvolved commentors"?
 * As I've shown above, the 4 editors who voiced opinions NOT named in the original IBAN proposal clearly voiced in favor of IBANs for all: *  *  How was that in any way "muddy"? What you're saying doesn't seem to make sense. While I don't agree with the IBANs, if we're going to apply it, what's good for the goose is good for the gander...
 * * Involved editors
 * Clarification would be greatly appreciated. Buffs (talk) 05:23, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Saxifrage, I deeply apologize for posting on your talk page over this issue., stop bullying the closing admin. Stop trying to re-litigate a closed case. Stop trying to speak for me and misrepresent what I said. When I said "Support the IBAN per Buffs", it was referring to a one-way IBAN on you. It was also sarcasm if you clicked through the "per Buffs" which linked to a diff of the absurdly long post of yours directly above mine. Your current behaviour here just emphasizes your problem with bullying and harassment. Please, please stop. Mark Ironie (talk) 06:02, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Buffs, your incivility is overt and obvious, and has been explained before. I’m not going to read WP:CIVIL to you and do a deep dive into quotes from your posting in that discussion and in the activity linked from there. You are capable of that yourself. If others can learn what’s right and wrong by reading the page that already explains it, so should you be able. — Saxifrage ✎ 06:31, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Given the above comments, I've gone ahead and pulled the trigger for this close to be reviewed at AN. Mr rnddude (talk) 07:34, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Buffs (talk) 16:00, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * So, basically, you found no consensus and then closed with what you thought was the right outcome, discussion and consensus be damned. Right.  Good to know.  GoldenRing (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * No, but I would thank you to assume good faith. I saw consensus to use IBANing to resolve the broken situation, disagreement over who should get one and why, but consensus for Buffs behaviour being unacceptable. That added up to me as Buffs getting the remedy under discussion. If that’s wrong, fine, but please dispute it at WP:AN, as is normal procedure. There’s no need to be rude on my talk page. — Saxifrage ✎ 16:07, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm still bemused that you can't see that "consensus to use IBANing... disagreement over who... added up to me as Buffs getting" is the same as "no consensus... closed with what you thought..." At any rate, given the very clear consensus at AN that this was a supervote that didn't reflect consensus, could you please undo your closure?  GoldenRing (talk) 09:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there's some other admins around the site who can handle closing the review of the close. My desire to engage with the kind of contributions displayed by editors here, given the quality of these interactions, is somewhat south of the x axis. Fortunately, procedure has it covered and I'm not needed. — Saxifrage ✎ 16:17, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Please remove your close or resign
It should be readily apparent by now that your close was a supervote. I don't know why it hasn't been vacated by an uninvolved admin yet, but that needs to happen. Ideally, you would vacate it yourself as a gesture of good faith. However, as it stands right now, you seem to be able to supervote Ibans into existence and that's a huge problem. If you are unwilling to reverse your close, please resign your tools. Indeed, I think you should resign your tools regardless of whether you vacate the close as it seems apparent that you are seriously out of touch with how this community operates. If necessary, I will open a separate section at AN and call for whatever sanctions are necessary to prevent you from doing this again. Lepricavark (talk) 02:26, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You're right that neither thing you're requesting works this way. The closing admin will do their work, and should be allowed to. If my adminship needs to be reviewed, you know where that happens too. To suggest that I need to prove good faith when you haven't even extended the simple courtesy of WP:AGF to begin with is a third thing you have backwards. Thank you for doing these things with politeness though. — Saxifrage ✎ 16:12, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You supervoted an Iban into existence and as of yet have failed to acknowledge your mistake, so I suggest you stop pontificating about how things work. Also, I notice your response to GoldenRing in which you seem to be attempting to play some kind of victim. That will garner you little sympathy at AN, ANI, or wherever I decide to raise the issue of your administrative misconduct. Lepricavark (talk) 17:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You can either acknowledge that I have declined to take orders from you and use the procedures, or not. I understand you feel that you're right, and that sometimes that can feel like enough to take a position of authority. It isn't though, and I am not choosing to extend you text-activated controls over my account privileges. I don't disbelieve that you might take this to an appeal of my adminship, but your insistence is making them sound like attempted threats rather than simple statements of how things work. So, I prefer to let that unfold as it will rather than precipitously obey a self-appointed judge. You can keep pursuing this attempt to browbeat and end-run every processes you've mentioned so far, but I think I've made it clear that being some angry random person on my talk page is failing to move me. — Saxifrage ✎ 18:05, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Saxifrage. Lepricavark (talk) 18:11, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the notice. — Saxifrage ✎ 18:17, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Saxifrage, just a heads up to let you know that I undid your close.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:08, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Perhaps this will put this that particular tangent of the matter to rest. I hope that the reopened discussion has a useful conclusion. — Saxifrage ✎ 19:19, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Posts
Please note I did not actually read what you posted. I simply reverted it and removed it from my talk page. I do not like my talk page clogged up with people coming and trying to be high and night or posting weird warnings, which are things I have previously removed.Also comments I am completely uninterested I remove. Please do not consider the fact I removed the comments you or anyone else posted as proof that I actually bothered reading the comments. Please also feel free to ignore this comment and remove it. Sparkle1 (talk) 00:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that it's Wikipedia policy that if you remove warning such as this one, you are considered to have read it. Being an admin, I therefore cannot honour your request. — Saxifrage ✎ 00:27, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Natalie Mars talk page
Please do not restore content on the Natalie Mars talk page which contains continuous material as you did. This is a violation of the BLP policy of Wikipedia. The allegations made in the comments you restored are potentially libellous and must not be re-added. The comments are all open to wide interpretation and are poorly sourced, with the person adding the comments editorialising that the subject of the article is of a certain controversial persuasion. Please do not re-add this information. The BLP policy applies to article talk pages as well as article main spaces. As you have previously said you are an Admin and I would have thought that this was bread and butter for you. I would like to assume you actually read what I removed from the talk page before you restored it. Sparkle1 (talk) 20:50, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have looked at your latest diff and I see it cites WP:BLP, so that's good. Your previous removal of Talk page material didn't explain that you thought it was a BLP issue of contentious matierial, nor did reviewing the removed link indicate that the material was obviously contentious without doing extended research into the person. That's the sort of thing that editors must cite in their edit summaries, for exactly this reason. Expect that when you leave edit summaries that don't support their edits, you open your edits to being reverted.
 * Given the BLP rationale in your new edit summary and your claim that it's contentious here, I agree with the removal now. Thanks for doing that, and please be more careful with your edit summaries when making deletions. Good edit summaries help your fellow editors understand your actions, and help you by preventing misunderstandings that can drag you into conflicts.
 * As an aside, your first version of your message here was sufficient and appropriate. Your afterthought addition borders on being an attempt to insult a fellow contributor, which is a habit that I would recommend against, since a pattern of insulting others and assuming bad faith can lead by itself to suspensions and topic bans. I'd recommend not going in guns blazing when you're interacting with other editors, just in general. I find it helps to re-read WP:TALK sometimes, especially the WP:TPYES and WP:TPNO sections. It has some very good advice for how we can each do our part to keep from unintentionally provoking our fellow editors, that even the best of us benefit from refreshing now and again. — Saxifrage ✎ 23:09, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Stickeen Territories

The Stickeen Territories, also colloquially rendered as Stickeen Territory, Stikine Territory, and Stikeen Territory, was a territory of British North America whose brief existence began July 19, 1862, and concluded July of the following year. The region was split from the North-Western Territory in the wake of the Stikine Gold Rush. The initial strike attracted large numbers of miners — mostly American — to the region; by detaching the region from the exclusive trade zone of the Hudson's Bay Company, British authorities were able to impose tariffs and licences on the speculators. The new territory, named after the Stikine River, was under the responsibility of the Governor of the Colony of British Columbia, James Douglas, who was appointed "Administrator of the Stickeen Territories" and under British law, within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

The boundaries of the Stickeen Territories were the 62nd parallel to the north, the 125th meridian to the east, the Nass and Finlay Rivers to the south, and the panhandle of Russian America to the west (only vaguely defined by treaty and disputed until resolved with the Alaska Boundary Settlement of 1903).

A year later, the Stickeen Territories was dissolved, most of its former land being added to the Colony of British Columbia, except for the sector north of the 60th parallel, which was returned to the North-Western Territory. In 1895, most of this strip was again redistributed, this time to the District of Yukon, as newly constituted during the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush. The remainder of the strip stayed in the Northwest Territories.

Jean Grave

Jean Grave (October 16, 1854, Le Breuil-sur-Couze – December 8, 1939, Vienne-en-Val) was an important activist in the French anarchist and the international anarchist communism movements. He was the editor of three major anarchist periodicals, Le Révolté, La Révolte and Les Temps nouveaux (newspaper), and wrote dozens of pamphlets and a number of important anarchist books.

Grave supported anarchism in the late 1870s, when it first began to emerge as a distinct movement. He was initially a supporter of Jules Guesde's Marxist-inspired philosophy. He attended political meetings in Paris before moving in 1883 to Geneva where he was invited by Peter Kropotkin and Elisée Reclus to be the editor of Le Révolté, which was renamed La Révolte when it moved to Paris in 1886. He edited La Révolte from 1887 to 1894.

In 1893 Grave wrote La société mourante et l'anarchie, prefaced by Octave Mirbeau, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison. Mirbeau, like Élisée Reclus, Paul Adam, and Bernard Lazare had testified on Grave's behalf, but to no avail. The trial only popularised the book, which was rapidly translated into German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Yiddish. An English translation by Voltairine De Cleyre appeared in 1899.

Grave was acquitted in the "Trial of the thirty".

From 1895 to 1922 Grave was the editor of Les Temps nouveaux, which was influential in literary and artistic circles of the time. Many well-known artists (such as Aristide Delannoy, Maximilien Luce, Paul Signac, Alexandre Steinlen, Théo van Rysselberghe, Camille Pissarro, Kees van Dongen, Charles Angrand, Henri-Edmond Cross, George Willaume, etc.) illustrated and helped to finance the review.

In 1914 Grave joined Kropotkin in England, and incurred the wrath of anti-war anarchists by signing the Manifesto of the Sixteen, which supported the allies during World War I.

Grave also wrote Le Mouvement libertaire sous la IIIe république.
