Thanks for Services Rendered
Thanks, Alexander. From his personal attacks, it's clear that the new editor is a resident of my town. I have three books under contract that I'm finishing up on a wide variety of subjects, gambling, math puzzles, body shapes of ET's, color vision, theatrical and stage acting, the meaning of life, why the Sun is really white, radar astronomy from Jupiter, Fibonacci sequence, organic molecules in space, and on and on. More than 300,000 words! Let me know your college major (or post-college field) and I'd be happy to send you a chapter that's relevant to your interest. Drlesmgolden (talk) 06:40, 5 May 2019 (CDT)
- You're welcome.
- You may find that difficult since I'm taking IT related things (Computer Systems Technician) but I appreciate the offer. It's not really a major (that's university here), I think colleges and universities work slightly differently where I live. ;) Alexander (talk) 07:34, 5 May 2019 (CDT)
- I always wondered that about the sun, like if we see all colors reflects from it in stuff on earth, why wouldn't it be white? And the atmosphere is scattering blue first and letting yellow pass through so we see what's left after the atmosphere has messed with it. I'd like to read a more intelligent analysis. Auggie (talk) 20:32, 5 May 2019 (CDT)
- Les, I do not live in your town, in fact, I live in Canada, in the province of Ontario. RandomUser34 (talk) 15:20, 6 May 2019 (CDT)
It seems that the consensus is that the Sun is white, but a yellow/orange color filter is often added because that is what people expect. (http://solar-center.stanford.edu/SID/activities/GreenSun.html) RandomUser34 (talk) 08:28, 6 May 2019 (CDT)
Wikiphoria
- Hello, Alex. I'm Dove Windsor. I am the sole founder of Wikiphoria, an online wiki encyclopedia. We focus on desserts from around the world. Wikiphoria is the smart-ass encyclopedia. It would be great if you'd decide to join this fantastic, lush project. My username there is Wikiphoria. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 23:30, 8 May 2019 (CDT)
- Hello! Welcome to Encyc. I barely have the time for this wiki, but thank you, nonetheless. Alexander (talk) 23:33, 8 May 2019 (CDT)
- You're welcome, and thank you for the welcome. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 02:39, 9 May 2019 (CDT)

Hey! Could I create some articles about space, which I am passionate about? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 12:51, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Sure. You don't even need to ask. Alexander (talk) 12:53, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Thanks! Do you guys need a hand with blocking fake accounts? I'll surely put my cards on the table to help. My general goal is to become an admin here, as well as reverting vandalism. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 12:58, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- I wish we had more active admins but it's not my call to make. "Stick around for a while and help out" is generally what we say. :) Alexander (talk) 12:59, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Alright. I presume that you cannot make me an admin because only User:Auggie is a bureaucrat, correct? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:02, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Well, even if I could, I wouldn't because you're new. Sorry. :) Alexander (talk) 13:04, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- I get ya! You don't ask to become an admin, it comes to you. I became an admin on Deletionpedia in just 13 days. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:06, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- One does not simply ask, or something. Alexander (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Lol. Did you know that if I did become an admin here on Encyc, it would mean that I'd be the first ever female admin, correct? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:10, 12 May 2019 (CDT) DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:09, 12 May 2019 (CDT)

Warning!
More sockpuppets are being created by the sock master, User:RandomUser34. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:16, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Jaysus. This is insane. I think I've got them all. He can't vandalize what he can't edit. Alexander (talk) 13:18, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- I suppose. I do not understand. If the sock master has been blocked indef, that means that we are being targeted by other people from other I.P. addresses. You did block the sock master's I.P. address didn't you? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:20, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- This isn't my first rodeo ;) The autoblock takes care of that. It's possible he's using proxies, VPNs, or some such thing. I could do that trick too if I really had loads of time on my hands. Alexander (talk) 13:23, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- I think that other people who know the sock master is creating more accounts from other I.P. addresses to help the sock master. Or, like you said, it could be true that the sock master is using different proxies. But where is he going to find more I.P. addresses to cause more havoc? I don't think that a global bock will work, right? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:27, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Would you like me to block everyone? Because that'll block us both - and I don't think I could do that anyway. ;) I don't even have the access to block new account creation, which would be ideal. That's a bureaucrat thing, as far as I know. So I gotta block them as they happen, and just protect pages so he has nothing left to vandalize. Alexander (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Great idea, smartypants! But, that means that I cannot edit them then, if I'd wanted to extend an article. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:33, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Not quite that extreme. I'm just protecting the pages he's/she's specifically targeting. Alexander (talk) 13:34, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Ask User:Auggie to make this wiki a read-only site for now. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:36, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- I would love to do that, if he was around. I thought of that. He's been apprised of the situation, however. Alexander (talk) 13:37, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Still, only existing users can login and edit, whilst it stops new sockpuppets from being created. Could you reply on my talk page from now on? My talk page is quite empty. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 13:39, 12 May 2019 (CDT)

Thanks for services rendered. Good to have you with us, Dove. I commpiled a cookbook from family recipes and it includes some great desserts, Dove. But your site is quite classy and I don't have appropriate photos of the finished products. Also, I sent Auggie some paragraphs from upcoming books on evolution of color vision and the color of the Sun as perceived by humans (and possible extraterrestrials AMONG US, LURKING), with trichromatic (three types of color cones) vision. If you're interested, I could either email them to you both or make a page. Dove, what is the basis for your handle? Are you a descendant of the House of Windsor, or did your family make its billions as developer of Dove soap? Back of lawn mowing day. Drlesmgolden (talk) 15:13, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
HELP! Vandal alert!
Please block User:Vandalize the Fash!. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 15:17, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Ugh. Seriously. I have better things to do. Alexander (talk) 15:40, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- What does lockdown mean? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:10, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- It just means "No new users". Sadly, I can't set that. It means editing a file, I think. Alexander (talk) 16:12, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- If that is what needs to be done, then do so. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:13, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- If it were that simple, I'd have done it. Auggie has to do it. :/ Alexander (talk) 16:14, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- How long do you think the wiki will be on lockdown for? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:16, 12 May 2019 (CDT)

Wrestler Silver King dies during Camden Roundhouse bout aged 51
This guy has died. Silver King. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:18, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Whoa. I'm not into wrestling but that's tragic. Alexander (talk) 16:19, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Silver King was an actor who starred in a film with the American comic actor, Jack Black in in the 2005 film Nacho Libre. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:21, 12 May 2019 (CDT)

- Better if I just download (ahem, you saw nothing) the movie or see if it's on Netflix. Alexander (talk) 16:31, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Sure. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:32, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- What is going to happen if you are not active here tonight and the sockmaster strikes again? It is now the afternoon. Are you staying up all night? DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 16:45, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- If it gets vandalized while I'm sleeping, then I'll fix it in the morning. We need more admins in varying time zones. Alexander (talk) 16:47, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Like me! Night, Alex! ;-) DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 17:51, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Literally anyone who knows what they're doing at this point. I can't be everywhere. Goodnight. Alexander (talk) 17:53, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Are you sleep-editing now? ;) Alexander (talk) 18:44, 12 May 2019 (CDT)
- Is that even possible? :/ DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 05:58, 13 May 2019 (CDT)
- I don't know. I was teasing. And it didn't have to go to Auggie's page. I will not do this in future, I suppose. Alexander (talk) 07:59, 13 May 2019 (CDT)
- Too be honest, I need users to help me with Wikiphoria. Mind if you lend me a hand and please ask User:Drlesmgolden too? I don't think that I will continue with Wikiphoria. I'll think I will just focus here on Encyc. DoveWindsor (Talk to me!) 10:20, 13 May 2019 (CDT)

BREAKING NEWS: Grand Central Station Explosion
There has been a huge explosion in the Grand Central Station in New York. 550 people have died from this terrorist attack. 44 people were injured. The terrorists were shot dead by police force officers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DoveWindsor (talk • contribs) 17:39, 13 May 2019

- A lot of stuff you're quoting is from a Jul 19, 2018 article, not May 13, 2019. It didn't happen today. If it happened today, it would be all over the news. It's not. You can't just quote an article that happened a year ago and say it happened today. That's not how anything works. I don't think you were really paying attention to the date, were you?
