Thinker78 is a user, since late 2015, of a mesopedian editor of Wikipedia who started editing anonymously when the project came out in 2001. His first account was User:WonderingAngel-aesc78, but sadly he didn't continue editing with it and has since lost the password. He believes in doing an excellent job, fairness, rational and honest debate, admitting mistakes, and the necessity of giving explanations for one's actions. He doesn't like argumentum ad verecundiam, abuse of authority, nor undue censorship.
Among other things, he is an investigator,[a] a translator,[b] a former union official, an empath, a syncretist veg'n, and a free thinking skeptic. In college he was one of the top students in classes of Logic, Math, and Statistics. At one of his jobs, he was one of the best among 1,000 employees and top of his division.[c] Since he was a kid he has felt passion for the written word and its analysis. Sometimes in his life outside of Wikipedia he gets threats of torture or death for unknown reasons.[d] Maybe he tries to be too insightful, open-minded, and vocal for his own good.
NPOV and objectivity
edit
Due to Thinker78's trying to be impartial and unbiased in his analysis and editing, sometimes editors tend to accuse him ironically of being partial and biased, more specially in controversial topics. This is because he tries to think and analyze independently, questioning what he thinks needs to be questioned and playing the Devil's advocate.
This, without trying to adopt, or make exception to his skepticism, the majority's position only because it is the majority's or popular position. This is not to say he won't adopt the majority or minority position if he thinks it is the proper thing to do based on logic and Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. These two latter for some reason in his opinion seem to be often ignored in favor of a single page's status quo or editors' personal opinions.

Opinion about administrators
editAdministrators are users who volunteer their time and who go beyond what a regular editor does. For that alone they deserve praise. But as any person imbued with authority, some administrators act in undesirable ways. For example, they may display the badge when there is absolutely no need to, specially when doing regular edits as any other editor. They may feel entitled to not be pointed out Wikipedia guidance by regular editors and may get annoyed, offended, or angered when an editor dares to do so, or worse if a regular editor dares to criticize them.
They may take unfair adverse actions against editors who they don't like or who criticized them or a fellow administrator, when the context permits it (like denying certain rights or permissions). And they may cover for each other just like police departments do. In some situations, even non-administrators may pile on editors who commit the sin of pointing out policies or guidelines to an administrator, like if they know it all, are above rules and can't make mistakes.
After all, administrators and the Wikipedia community are people too, and as people they have the same qualities and defects as society at large.
Consensus vs no consensus
editConsensus in a discussion is the agreement or support of a proposal by at least a majority of participants who provided non-repeated reasonable arguments. This ideally reflecting objectively more weight of said arguments, which provides proper basis for a consensus decision.
No consensus occurs when there is an unclear balance in the weight of reasons regarding an action in a good faith discussion.
Good advice from an administrator
editSometimes, people just disagree. There is no one, singular Right® way, it is a matter of editorial preference. If you find that the majority disagree with you, you just accept it and move on. It doesn't matter that you disagree or why. Plenty of times I disagree with the consensus/majority, but it is just my life experience, my viewpoint, the way I learned to use the English language. Not everyone has the same background or preferences. Once it is clear that you are in the minority, it is best to just thank them for participating, and bow out. Everyone is on minority side of consensus from time to time.If I could offer some advice, it would be to work on being more concise. People are more willing to consider your perspective when you only use one or two paragraphs and keep it simple. Quoting policy or MOS doesn't really help; people like what they like. So present the before and after, and keep the "why I like this" down to a sentence or two, in plain English. Then they are more likely to read everything you wrote, rather than gloss over the extended reasoning and form an opinion prematurely. The point by point edits did you no favors. It is also more effective to say why your way is better, rather than focus on why the other way is wrong. Positivity often rules the day. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
The status quo sometimes is wrong
editFor a long time, years in fact, the page Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal had as status quo a first sentence that didn't reflect guidance of MOS:FIRST. It was more fit for the biographical page of Jimmy Savile and inappropriate for the article at hand because it didn't even mention the main topic, the scandal. When I changed it to follow the guideline, I was reverted. I posted in the talk page about my rationale but there was no input.
I proceeded to summon editors from the community at large in a Wikipedia:Requests for comment, which had a lot of input. The immediate and final consensus agreed with me, that the page had an inappropriate first sentence.
I didn't do something important: seek consensus to officially end the discussion and implement the change. This is recommended to be done even if it's your own rfc and the consensus about the change seems evident. This reduces the risk of outrage and incivility.
The moral of the story is that sometimes the status quo needs to be challenged, but challenged properly.
First female governor in the Americas was from Guatemala
edit
I learned that Beatriz de la Cueva was the first female governor in North America and all the Americas. She was born in Spain and was governor of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. Apparently, reading the List of first women governors and chief ministers, there was no other female governor in the Americas, for almost 400 years.

- It can take me 2 hours of analysis to reply to a talk page post.
Challenges
editJune 22, 2018: Transclusion. In Talk:Noah's Ark#Myth vs account or story controversy, it took me more than two and a half hours to figure out how to properly format it, given that initially text was just copied from the help desk to the talk page of Noah's Ark. Initially I was just looking at which way was more proper to indicate that text was "moved". I thought about hatnotes, but I spent a long time analyzing the guideline to see if it was proper use. I figured out that I could use a transclusion hatnote. But soon I got embroiled in finding a way to indicate which text was actually moved, because a new discussion was started. I found out about boxes. But then I realized I would have to actually transclude the text. Which I finally managed to do, transcluding the text. Yay!

Historical
editIgnorance and murderous savagery
editContemporary accounts state Mongol soldiers looted and then destroyed mosques, palaces, libraries, and hospitals. Priceless books from Baghdad's thirty-six public libraries were torn apart, the looters using their leather covers as sandals.[8] Grand buildings that had been the work of generations were burned to the ground. The House of Wisdom (the Grand Library of Baghdad), containing countless precious historical documents and books on subjects ranging from medicine to astronomy, was destroyed. Claims have been made that the Tigris ran red from the blood of the scientists and philosophers killed.[9][10] Citizens attempted to flee, but were intercepted by Mongol soldiers who killed in abundance, sparing no one, not even children.
Notes
edit- ^ Non-government investigator, not a university-educated scientist, not a private investigator in the mainstream concept (https://web.archive.org/web/20200430051544/https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/investigator).
- ^ By training but not certified (didn't do the exam)
- ^ Even though constantly in conflict and at loggerheads with management due to his union position and duties, management itself recognized his work as one of the best in the organization. Following the status quo sometimes leads to usual and mediocre outcomes. Innovation and controversy is sometimes a most to improve things.
- ^ An example: A random stranger on the street approached him and chitchats. Eventually the stranger told him to think things before getting left without skin.
- ^ "An edit has presumed consensus until it is disputed or reverted. Should another editor revise that edit then the new edit will have presumed consensus until it meets with disagreement."
- ^ Infinitive: to betoken, preterite: betokened, past participle: betokened[5]
