Censorship on Wikipedia

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 the neck wound was an entrance wound; meaning that more than one shooter was required. • 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: [1] (page 14). [2][3]. 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.

User-editable US maps

These SVG maps have user-editable sections (any text editor) to allow creation of more maps on more topics. Just paste in a list of states and values. See examples at Commons:Category:English-language SVG maps of the United States made with templates. Feel free to create map templates for other countries too. Cmglee may be able to help with that.

Version 2: Convert a US list/table to a state-by-state data map. With examples and step-by step instructions. Example:
Homicide rates per 100,000 by state. FBI.

Simple map below with state names and colored states. See its talk page.

US maps showing many ways Republican states fail

Return to top. See: US Republican states.

Many state-by-state US maps exposing more problems in GOP states. In the South for example. Higher overdose rates, worse healthcare, lower minimum wages, higher debt, higher murder rates, higher incarceration rates, higher poverty rates, lower percentage of female legislators. Especially when compared to Canada. Please share these maps on social media. PNG maps can be found via the links below, and via the various-size links under the SVG images on the SVG file description pages. Facebook does not accept SVG images.

Backward cannabis laws in US Republican states

Return to top. See: US Republican states.

Lack of more progressive cannabis laws in US Republican states. In the South for example.

For the map below see map source with more info. Hover to see state and territory names there. "State regulated" is in the map title. Some states enacted "CBD/low THC programs" shown on the map in orange. This map does not show access to federally-regulated hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol), delta-8-THC, etc.. Those are available in many states due to the federal 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills linked in Wikipedia: Cannabidiol#United States. Some states have restricted access to them. For more info see: [4][5][6][7][8]. See also: Wikipedia: Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction.

It looks like the Northern Mariana Islands are currently using the blue color in the legend: "Adult use only, no medical regulated program".

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. [9][10]. Commons source.

Barnstars, thanks, funny comments, other things of note

This editor has been thanked
by these Wikipedians.

Return to top.

The following comments and barnstars were copied from User talk:Timeshifter.

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. Tiamut^talk 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

A basso porto (At the Lower Harbour) is an opera in three acts by the Italian composer Niccola Spinelli. The opera sets an Italian-language libretto by Eugene Checchi, based on Goffredo Cognetti's 1889 play O voto. It premiered to critical success at the Cologne Opera on April 18, 1894, sung in a German translation by Ludwig Hartmann and Otto Hess. This watercolour illustration depicts the set design by Riccardo Salvadori for act 1 of the opera's premiere. A basso porto is set in the slums of Naples, and Spinelli included mandolins and guitars in his orchestral score.Set design credit: Riccardo Salvadori

ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and Wikipedia finances

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.
