Penis saint … or geography of the Kyrgyz Republic ?

Ters
Geography
CountryKyrgyz Republic

Ters (Терс) is a mountain in the west of the Kyrgyz Republic, between the Ters and Chatkal rivers.[1] It is 30 kilometres (19 mi) long running roughly south-west to north-east, and between 13 and 15 kilometres (8.1 and 9.3 mi) wide.[1]

The Chaktal side slopes whereas the Ters side is the steeper, with a gorge-like valley.[1] The mountain is mostly crystalline granite, with intrusions of Carboniferous granite-diorite and granite-syenite rock.[1]

It is between 3,000 and 3,300 metres (3,300 and 3,600 yd) high, its highest point being 3,890 metres (4,250 yd).[1] Up to 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) it is covered in field and meadow steppe, meadow and forest bush above that to 2,800 metres (9,200 ft), and above that tall grass meadow and alpine meadow.[1]

It is like a good book, right?

We have the English Professor Vacuum maintaining its continual inward suction by having a complete absence of any English professors whatsoever here, Doktoro, but I am thinking at the moment that it would be unwise to do the same for philosophy professors. Stick a handful of them into a room and ask them what a book is, and they'll come up with three competing schools of thought all with their own -isms and -ists, a solemn explanation of the ontology of an abstract manifold of a set of leaf-forms carrying signifiers for a social construct of lexemes, several critiques pointing out that sets are not ordered, and at least one rebel explaining that everyone else is wrong because they all forgot that books can have pictures.

All that said, John M. Ellis is a German professor.

  • Don't even get me started on Book history, which as you can see, doesn't even exist, though we have an article on Book History, a journal devoted to the topic. And we've got History of books (which ones, I wonder?) instead of History of the book, which rather morosely redirects there. Little wonder that we can't tell the difference between Literary work and Literature... -- asilvering (talk) 10:31, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Asilvering you say "literature" like we know what it is. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      No more or less than we understand what Art or Music are, I suppose. -- asilvering (talk) 18:34, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Aargh! Sociology! That's even harder to write than philosophy, if anything. Although we really all should put a little brown box here at Articles for creation so that Doktoro can get some sociology credits in. The credits all add up at the end of the year, Doktoro.

      I found Jean-Michel Chahsiche and John Raimo straightaway, but the question is are they good places to start. Peter Lamarque was obvious for literature. As you can see xe did the literature chapters for some Routledges and Blackwells, and xe and Olsen were oft-cited by others. Chahsiche and Raimo are chapter 14 in the Routledge ISBN 9780367553258 but it's not obvious that they are a good place to start. They go on to begin with Roger Chartier and D. F. McKenzie (Donald McKenzie (academic) to xyr close friends). Although ISBN 9781134380060 seems an interesting source. The title is somewhat of a clue.

      Doktoro:

      Did you know … that William J. Mitchell once described books as "tree flakes encased in dead cow"?

      I can cite not only a an Indianianana University professor and person of culture (Ted Striphas) as a source but even an English professor (Graham Holderness) as a source for that. A bit of Aussie straight talking to set all of these -ologists right.

      • DF McKenzie is the big name. Can't get through grad school in book history without having to read Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts. (Or, well, without having pretended to read it, anyway.) -- asilvering (talk) 18:32, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
        • Alas, to be an encyclopaedist one has to read the books. After reading the sociology books, one spends at least a day speculating on the fact that, whilst not epistemologically unsound and certainly not in abstract a priori forbidden by any innate attribute of the ideal forms that cannot be overcome at least in a topological sense, yet nonetheless as a result of historio-cultural influences that have deep roots in human praxis that seemingly admit of few cultural restrictions let alone an explicit semiosis, one always puts on one's socks before one's shoes.

          And what is a shoe?

Definition

Literature is delirium,[1] that is strewn with wreckage of men,[2] impoverished by shut doors,[3] and divided between two slopes.[4] Being turned toward the movement of negation by which things are separated from themselves, it attempts to become the relevation of what revelation destroys,[5] and is connected as the literary to the phallocentric.[6] It is a forbidden presence that sympathizes with darkness and has triumphed over the meaning of words that find in the interior the outside that it endeavoured to leave behind as the outlet of going out.[7]

As not the result of any true work, it does not provide serious help.[8] Being the invention of groups of powerful professors, its effect is repression.[9] It has expanded to nowadays include works of literature,[10] and has a built-in escape clause.[11] Having been usually explained through social science and political interpretation,[12] it only puts to sleep those who want to go to sleep.[13]

As you can see from Talk:literary work, I think that literature#Definitions needs some improvement. Seeing what LEvalyn wrote, I might tackle it in the way that I suggested, although I am still in the mucklands with the sweetcorn at the moment.

But I thought that I would quickly knock together something that you could use in your well-lit class in the meantime, Doktoro.

It is very reliable. It is from a really good source that I found that even had "What is Literature?" as its title and was published by Wiley and edited by an English chair; which, being the furniture lover that you are, I know that you will appreciate. Almost all of the authors are bluelinked, too. What better sign of reliability could one get?

I hope that two paragraphs is enough for the class, Doktoro. Otherwise I might have to pull out a second book.

kunstschilder!

Edith Fairfax Davenport (born 1880-07-13 in Kansas City died 1957-11-01 in Winter Park[1][2]) was a painter and the first woman admitted to the École des Beaux Arts.[3]

Life

Born in 1880 the granddaughter of Isabella McNeill, who was James McNeill Whistler's mother's sister; she moved with her family in 1884 from Kansas City, Missouri to their new home in Zellwood, Florida.[4][3][5][6] Her father judge Joe K. Davenport had been the mayor of Kansas City, and the new house was on the shore of Lake Maggiore.[6][2]

She studied at the École for 8 years, having been admitted in 1905, working with Jean-Paul Laurens and in the studio of Louis-Joseph-Raphaël Collin.[5][2] She studied for a further 4 years in Florence, Italy.[6] Upon returning to the United States she studied with Howard Giles and Hans Hofmann and was a modernist by the 1930s.[5]

With J. W. Paul she instituted the Free Public Library (later just the Public Library) in Zellwood in 1912.[6] She co-founded the Orlando Art Association in 1924, exhibiting 30 of her paintings in its first show, and from 1952 onwards was president of the Florida Federation of Art.[2] She worked for the Works Progress Administration from 1933 to 1937.[2] Later in life she mainly focussed on education, providing free tuition in art at the high school in Mount Dora and lecturing on art history at the Gainesville Association of Fine Arts.[2]

She maintained a studio in the family home for many years, dividing her time between Zellwood and New York, until finally moving to Winter Park in 1955 where she died in 1957.[4] She is buried in Kansas City.[2]

Works

Four of her paintings still reside in the 21st century in the Zellwood Historical Society's museum, including one of two full-size copies of Whistler's portrait of his mother that he authorized her to duplicate.[4] The other, entitled Après Whistler, "Arrangement in Grey and Black, No. 1: Portrait of the Painter's Mother" and painted in 1906, resides in the Whistler House Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts.[4][5] They are the only full-size copies of the work, and Davenport reproduced them when the varnish on Whistler's original had yellowed with age.[5] Thus they show what the Whistler painting looked like before it was later restored, even down to duplicating the original frame.[4][5] She bequested them to their current homes some time around 1950.[5]

Other of her works include four murals — themed citrus, lumber, cattle, and turpentine — painted for the Chamber of Commerce building in Orlando.[3][2]

Reading the sources for your African Urban Youth Cred, Doktoro, in particular the watery African professor and the African Hamburger professor writing in 2004, I am struck by where they talk about borrowing, truncation, hybridization, metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, dysphemism, metathesis, archaism, paraphrase, and dummy affixation. One of these linguistics terms is not like the others Doktoro, and is instead like Edith Fairfax Davenport here.

Maybe it is because dummy isn't as Greek as the fancy terms. You know that we only do fancy titles here in Wikipedia.

Maybe we should switch the English Professor Vacuum to one of its special settings to suck in an English Greek professor to explain to us what the fancy Greek name is for what the African professors are talking about. Then we can write an article with a proper fancy Greek name, Wikipedia style.

  • I don't know--what strikes you as suspicious? The convoluted syntax, or the awareness of WP:CASTE? Are they brand-new, do they sound like another editor, are they taking up where a (blocked) editor left off? Are there similarities in style or syntax with other editors? It's kind of like a detective story sometimes. Drmies (talk) 03:47, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am not involved in the area so I can't tell if their editing patterns match another user. I should have added more detail: their 41 edits seem to be largely moves, deletion nominations, or edits to their user page. As soon as they had made 10 edits (nine of which were to their user and user talk pages) and their account had existed for four days, they began to edit Phor (name)‌, a semiprotected page, and perform moves. This does not strike me as a normal editing pattern for a new user, and I recall that caste articles can attract sockpuppets, but I may be incorrect. XabqEfdg (talk) 03:59, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case, you CU-blocked 2409:40D6:105:2C18:3C85:5B09:BC19:CE8C, and that IP interacts with the abovementioned editor--see the barely comprehensible nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bedia (caste), and the IP's equally incomprehensible comments. Drmies (talk) 04:11, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'm coming off a very busy weekend where I didn't have much time to look at/into things (And that wasn't a CU block as I don't have that tool). Is my input still sought? Daniel Case (talk) 21:56, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Daniel Case, I know, but I see now that you adapted a block from Spicy three times. The log lists you because you kept the previous block settings. Either way, I figured you might know something that I didn't, but in the meantime Zzuuzz confirmed who the master is. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 22:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

XabqEfdg, look in the history of Phor (name)‌, and where Tamzin reverted? So an earlier editor, User:Aj indiana, who is blocked as a sock account, was screwing around in there. That was three years ago and their edit summaries are not idiotic, but who knows. Drmies (talk) 04:16, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, having seen both Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tibrewal and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bedia (caste) I think that we can do without this in toto. Edit summaries like that of Special:Diff/1280366616 and talk page statements lie Special:Diff/1280378116 are rubbing it in our faces, aren't they? Uncle G (talk) 12:32, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oh, that the current user is begging for a block is clear, and I'm on it. But until I saw that AfD I thought we might do this as an exercise, rather than as an immediate block for NOTHERE. Drmies (talk) 13:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quilts!

Further information: § Sweetcorn!, and § Gelderland!

No more making Doktoro stare at xyr socks, people! There are now quilts at Zellwood, Florida — quilts that the EPA no longer speaks of. Quilts that I still have to check a University of Nebraska Press book for, if I can find it. Quilts that need redirects.

Reverted changes and threats due to Jacob Elordi page

Why were my changes reverted, even when I was simply adding new information? On my talk page and conversation with OhnoitsJamie, I was told that despite our disagreements, I could still add new information. There are even typos that I fixed, which have been reverted back. Librasunco (talk) 01:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying to reason with them, but the accusations continue and now they've filed an ANI. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible sockpuppet

@Bubba6t3411 is a possible sockpuppet of @Archiepo. They edit the same articles and have the same editing style DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sebastian Stan?

Hi, I noticed that you removed a significant amount of content from Sebastian's page, and I don't understand why. Just because it might not seem highly notable does not mean it should be excluded. Additionally, the information about his personal life is not speculation; it has been confirmed by his rep or by himself.

I would also like to note that just because the information comes from primary sources does not mean it is not notable or that the source itself is bad. Yes, secondary sources are far more preferable, but primary sources are not inherently bad, unreliable, or whatever. Lililolol (talk) 19:04, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there is a discussion about his relationship on the talk page, and there is an initial agreement to add Annabelle Wallis. I brought up the topic of other relationships, asking whether we should add them or not. Until we reach a consensus, please don’t remove them. You’re also welcome to comment. Lililolol (talk) 19:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Lililolol:, per policy the WP:ONUS is on you, the person looking to restore the disputed content, to get consensus for its inclusion prior to restoring it. Wikipedia isn't Who's Dated Who.-- Ponyobons mots 19:51, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Keene

Reaching out because you made some changes to the Jimmy Keene article back in January 2024, including the removal of irrelevant award details for the miniseries based on one of his books.[2]

I've attempted to remove these again ([3]) and performed some clean-up on the article, but the changes are being reverted by Joseph M31. I've posted a 3RR warning to their talk page, but their only contribution to the discussion so far is a screed accusing me of vandalism.[4]. At one point this user also removed the COI tag you inserted.

As I've mentioned at the talk page, the entire editing history is suspicious. The majority of editors are single-purpose accounts.

I'm uncertain as to how to proceed here. I'm in danger of breaking 3RR myself, if I haven't already. There's probably sockpuppetry involved, but I doubt SPI would be interested since most of the other editors haven't been active for a while. Any suggestions? Barry Wom (talk) 15:07, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Barry Wom, you seem to be very overzealous in your desire to cause harm and vandalism to this person's page.
You have no right to assume things as you have and put unfounded COI's on other editors for no reason, again an overzealous action against Wikipedia rules.
Mr. Keene's page was doing fine till you got a biased itch to vandalize this persons Wikipedia page. The awards are not irrelevant, they were all won directly as a result and because of Mr. Keene, even the names of the awards wins and nominations are in Keene's name example best lead actor as Jimmy Keene, best supporting actor as Big Jim Keene, best limited series awards to all Executive Producers which Keene was lead Executive Producer, ect. ect. that is a great accomplishment in life.
You may see it as screed writing but that is sometimes the only way to get a point across to Wikipedia Page vandals. It does not matter if you think its suspicious not everyone else does, again it is your biased nature towards this person that causes your unfounded suspicions. You already broke the 3RR rule first which caused a return effect.
My suggestion, just leave the man's Wikipedia Page alone and stop causing vandalizing harm to it. The page is just fine, and all information was accurate and correct, factual and cited, till you came along and vandalized it for no reason.
Let's call it a day and stop bickering and just leave something that was not broken alone. Joseph M31 (talk) 15:47, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Barry Wom, I'm calling it a day and I am blocking the editor from editing that article directly: please edit the article as you see fit--you have a lot of experience, I see, editing Wikipedia. Joseph M31, your edits have been reverted by at least three different editors, and C.Fred asked you years ago to disclose a COI--you haven't done so. You also accused User:Glane23 of harassment and vandalism--if you continue with such accusations, you may find yourself blocked altogether. For now, you may seek the talk page. Drmies (talk) 17:20, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Drimes, I see that you partially blocked me for no reason, and you told this Barry Wom to edit Mr. Keene's page as he sees fit. Does that include intentional slander and defamation? Now this Barry Wom is intentionally making up lies and disinformation and as I said early on vandalizing and slandering this man's Wikipedia page, trying to damage his good name and reputation.
This Barry Wom has now gone to extreme measures to write a slandering disinformation article, and it is definitely intentional slander and defamation. Mr. Keene is not an ex-convict, Mr. Keene was completely cleared of everything and record expunged, so you cannot be an ex-convict. The only way you are an ex-convict is if you do the sentence imposed to term, and your record is not cleared.
Mr. Keene did a great deed for society and stopped a deranged child molester serial killer from ever being able to kill anyone else's young daughters and he should be respected for that and not be being slandered with disinformation and lies by the Barry Wom.
Drimes you have to do something to stop this person he is out of control, Barry Wom is the problem here no one else. Barry wom is obsessive and intentionally trying to damage and slander this mans cleared good name and redeemed record and life. Joseph M31 (talk) 11:36, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Since Joseph M31 was blocked from editing the Jimmy Keene article yesterday, suspected sockpuppets have been restoring his edits. I've raised a case at SPI [5]. Barry Wom (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Joeseph was not blocked, only partially because you Barry started a disinformation campaign of lies. Lawyers will be getting involved. Keene was completely cleared of everything that means no ex-anything. That is the point of being cleared of everything. There are no sockpuppets. The only one who is the problem is you, Barry! Joseph M31 (talk) 13:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
SPI closed; no relation between the suspected accounts. Barry Wom (talk) 13:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (talk page stalker) User:Joseph M31, I suggest you step back from all these personal attacks aimed at User:Barry Wom, someone guilty of merely disagreeing with you. You seem to think that personalizing the debate is a satisfactory substitute for discussing on the merits. Perhaps that works in pro wrestling... That you've chosen to act badly on an admin's talk page is so incredibly... inadvisable. In the future, make your arguments on the merits ONLY; casting WP:Aspersions is likely to get your account quickly blocked. You should <s>strike through</s> all your insults above before any passing admin decides to consequence you further. BusterD (talk) 12:56, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The merits are clear, but not when Barry is spreading lies and disinformation! Barry is not just disagreeing is spreading false lies. The man was completely cleared of everything and has no record that is the point of your record being expunged. The law is very clear on this. Do you think if your record is clear, and you go to a job interview you are still an ex-convict? By law you are not, so why spread false lies on a public forum. Joseph M31 (talk) 13:05, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I asked you nicely a few days ago Barry, to end this bickering. I ask again. There is no need to be slandering this man. Stop with the ex-convict stuff, this man earned the title of clear and free man. I would appreciate it. Thank you Joseph M31 (talk) 13:15, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've blocked Joseph M31 for making legal threats above ("Lawyers will be getting involved.") BusterD (talk) 13:20, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
BusterD, thank you so much for stepping in! Drmies (talk) 15:51, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've never used the legal threat block template before, so every day a new experience! BusterD (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's not a very common one, but when it happens it's pretty much indisputable to everyone except the blocked person. Drmies (talk) 17:19, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User: Bozoclown2024

Hi, I was wondering if you could check and see if this account[6] is yet another sock puppet of Dpugh500/Dpugh520/Samurai30001? The account was made a few months after you banned the last one and like those accounts this user is obsessed with putting up DOBs for voice actresses(even when there's evidence that it's incorrect) using poor sources such as the ones made in these edits.[7][8] Kcj5062 (talk) 09:05, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
