Future elections: Vote.org and Vote411.org. Eventually people may realize that voting for Democrats is the only way to raise the state and federal minimum wages from $7.25 to at least $15 an hour, regain abortion rights, get expanded Medicaid in the South, and flip the Trump tax cuts for the rich (2) back to progressive taxation.

Gaza and Lebanon. The last bastions of settler colonialism

Return to top. And its kept in place mainly by US aid. US could easily force Israel to remove its settlers by threatening to remove all aid and protection. Peace would ensue in the Middle East. The occupation is not the main problem. Settlers are. The US occupies Germany and Japan to this day, but not with settlers. It is not an oppressive occupation. Nazis are not allowed in power, just like Hamas could be blocked from power. A road could be opened between Gaza and the West Bank. Just like the road from the West to Berlin before the wall fell.

Censorship on Wikipedia

Return to top.

July 8, 1947, issue of the Roswell Daily Record, featured a story announcing the Roswell Army Air Field "capture" of a "flying saucer" from a ranch near Roswell. See Roswell Incident. The article came about from Walter Haut's initial press release.

See User:Timeshifter/Userboxes for many userboxes. See also this old essay: User:Timeshifter/Unchecked admin misconduct. Admins with biases, combined with a few biased editors can block verified notable info. Happens all the time. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. See: Systemic bias and cognitive bias. See confirmation bias where editors only post references that agree with their viewpoints. And: Criticism of Wikipedia. Some of the following info may no longer be censored by the time you read this. Some censorship comes and goes depending on the whims of groups of editors. Examples of censorship: • Seven JFK Parkland Hospital ER doctors (see documentary) who testified on video that there was an entrance wound from the front; meaning that more than one shooter was required. Also, a separate interview with Dr. Robert N. McClelland who was there. • Roswell UFO craft, 2 crash sites, and alien body retrieval were real according to eyewitness U.S. Army officer Walter Haut. Haut issued the initial July 1947 "flying disc" press release. His 2002 notarized affidavit tells all. It was released in a 2007 book after his death in 2005. It is on pages 239-242 of the 2022 edition: Witness to Roswell, 75th Anniversary Edition: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-up (more eyewitnesses). 36 pages previewed in Google Books. Click "preview" button and scroll down to pages 239-240. Search within the book. Moonwalker Dr. Edgar Mitchell wrote the foreword. I have the inexpensive Kindle ebook. The 20 paragraph affidavit is online here: [4] (page 14). [5][6]. Haut's daughter, Julie Shuster, in 2002, 3 years before his death, "verbally discussed each and every sentence" of the affidavit with him. She said it was not a deathbed confession. See Sept 2007 MUFON UFO Journal: Issue 473. Page 15. And this article from Special Broadcasting Service. Archived. See Julie Shuster on IMDb. More info: [7][8][9][10].

Trump's 2017 tax cuts for the rich.

On average, taxpayers in the income groups highlighted in yellow will incur a net cost (shown as a positive figure as this reduces the budget deficit), due in part to reduced healthcare subsidies. Higher income taxpayers receive a benefit via tax cuts (shown as a negative number as this increases the budget deficit). The percent of taxpayers in each income group is also shown for the 2023 period. "Taxpayer" in the chart refers to a tax return, meaning it could represent one person or a married couple filing jointly, among other options. [18][19]. Commons source.

Barnstars, comments, etc.

You have GOT to be the coolest Wikisloth with super-powers that I ever met!! For a Sloth, you sure move at a quick pace!! :) Do you wear a "super cape", I wonder? That would really complete the whole outfit and mystique.. I keep trying to think of things I could maybe do for you since you are such a blessing and a help... Hmmm. Did you ever contact Roger Ebert before his untimely demise? Is there perhaps a photo of someone that I can search for on your behalf? Just say the words. I feel a great debt to you for your help over these years. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 12:00, 17 August 2013 (UTC) WikiProject Ireland Collaboration Thank you for initiating this project. There may be a great opportunity for it - please check out talk:Ireland#Ireland article names: Request for Remedy 2 and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland Collaboration. — Sebastian 06:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC) The barnstars below were copied from my user talk page, and its archives. The latest one is on top. What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar For the concept of a noticeboard that would have allowed editors to air out complaints against abusive admins. Pity WP is not truly about improvement. —Djathinkimacowboy 01:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC) The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar You know, aside from wanting you to know I strongly supported your idea for an admin complaint board, I strongly support your whole philosophy. A huge problem here is the ignoring of content dispute plus admins who will not get involved in anything. Much of the opposition to your board proposition are childish whiners, I noticed. They claim a new notice board will decrease editing time. Don't let them get you down with such fallacious 'reasoning'. Keep at it! Godspeed, and drop me a line anytime.--Djathinkimacowboy 14:43, 19 February 2012 (UTC) Bookbound barnstar To Timeshifter, for contributing to the Internet "meme" (as reported in the The Washington Post) of "Neda," the slain Iranian protester.  — Justmeherenow 07:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC) The Article Rescue Barnstar Thanks for saving File:Day 18 of War on Gaza.PNG from deletion by doing a little legwork and using your extensive knowledge of copyright and image description procedures. Its much appreciated. Tiamuttalk 15:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC) The Working Man's Barnstar For your work on compiling detailed maps, free images, and in your efforts in categorization. Tiamut 20:24, 13 September 2007 (UTC) The Barnstar of Diligence For your efforts at organizing regional maps in the commons and your patience in explaining those efforts Tiamut 22:32, 10 March 2007 (UTC) The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar For remaining cool and encouraging others to do so, while retaining editorial integrity and passionately advocating for the truth (all POVs) to be presented :) Tiamut 10:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC) The Barnstar of Diligence For diligence on the Iraq War subtitle debate and for helping solve a very tough issue. Also, nice work on keeping everyone (myself included) honest on the various casualties sections. Nicely done. Publicus 21:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The red-lored whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis) is one of nine species of whistler occurring in Australia and a member of the family Pachycephalidae. It resides in the low mallee, spinifex, cypress pine and broombush woodland in the desert of central New South Wales, north-western Victoria and adjacent south-eastern South Australia, preferring low mallee woodlands or shrublands with open canopy, above a moderately dense but patchy scrub layer. The male bird has an orange or buff face and throat, a grey breastband extending around the neck and over the head, and rufous underparts with pale yellow or olive edging to primaries. The female is similar but with a paler throat and underparts. While it is often seen perched in trees and shrubs, the red-lored whistler feeds, for the most part, on the ground. Little is known about the movement of this species, although it is thought to be sedentary, with some movement possibly after breeding. It builds a substantial, cup-shaped nest made mostly of coarse bark and mallee leaves, neatly woven around the rim in low shrubs and lays two or three eggs. The species's limited range has seen it listed nationally as a vulnerable species. This red-lored whistler was photographed in the Nombinnie Nature Reserve in New South Wales.Photograph credit: John Harrison

ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and Wikipedia finances

Return to top.

Update on Wikimedia's financial health. Wikipedia Signpost/2023-11-20/News and notes.

Wikipedia Signpost: Golden parachutes: Record severance payments at Wikimedia Foundation. 22 May 2023. This is outrageous. Just another example of the concentration of wealth and income into the hands of the 1% in the US.

See: ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer: Wikimedia Foundation Org. It is interesting to look at the greatly increasing salaries of CEOs of nonprofits over the years. Far faster than other salaries. Salary transparency is a wonderful leveling tool. ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer shows how some CEOs tried to sneak in a $300,000 pay increase one year, but had to drop back the following year. Why would I donate to a "nonprofit" like that?

This is part of a pattern: Richest 1% bag nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years. And: The First Trillionaire: No Cause for Celebration.
