Early pope portraits
It has been decided (more than once) NOT to use these dreadful imaginary portraits of early popes. Please don't add any more; they will no doubt be removed shortly. Btw, I like some of your other edits - esp the pic at Social rejection. Johnbod (talk) 23:03, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- I apologise for inserting those portraits, but may I ask why they are removed? Howardcorn33 (talk) 10:35, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Can anyone point to the discussions? Reasons: ugly, entirely invented centuries later, unhelpful to the reader.... Johnbod (talk) 14:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
Erdoğan–Gollum comparison trials
Please do not remove the references. As they're relevant to the subject of the article, I don't see any justification and such a removal is disruptive. Besides, Gollum's past as Sméagol is vital to understand why some of the lawyers in the trials argued that Gollum was not a bad character and therefore the comparison wasn't an insult.

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript and is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library. Manuscript credit: Ludwig van Beethoven

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi, thanks for the excellent article. I'd like to inform you that I've rearranged sections of the article as per MOS:ORDER. For example, the external links section needs to be the last one. Very interesting topic, btw! BorgQueen (talk) 08:27, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Revert on Palestine
Edit warring notice removed by PadFoot (talk).
Please see the RM discussion on Talk:Palestine (disambiguation)#Requested move 29 June 2024 and do not edit war any further. The redirect target is per editorial consensus and must not be changed without a new consensus. PadFoot (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- I did not engage in an edit war. I performed a single revert before you left this notice. I tried looking for the discussion in the talk page of State of Palestine, however I could not find it. It had not occurred to me that the discussion happened on a different talk page. Please recant your accusation of edit warring. ―Howard • 🌽33 13:07, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- And please remember that an edit war requires an editor repeatedly change content before you place this notice on another's talk page. ―Howard • 🌽33 13:13, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- This is not the standard 3RR warning, but rather the 1RR warning (meaning you cannot revert more than once in 24 hours), which is enforced on some Wikiprojects by the arbitration committee. I'm still removing the notice though. PadFoot (talk) 14:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Mundus Alter et Idem (Another World and Yet the Same) is a satirical dystopian novel written by the English writer and bishop Joseph Hall around 1605. In the novel, the narrator takes a voyage in the ship Fantasia through the southern seas, visiting the lands of Crapulia, Viraginia, Moronia, and Lavernia (populated by gluttons, nags, fools, and thieves, respectively). These locations feature on this map, which accompanies the novel. Map credit: Joseph Hall

The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is a philosophical position about how the mathematics used in quantum mechanics relates to physical reality. It asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe. In contrast to some other interpretations of quantum mechanics, the evolution of reality as a whole in MWI is rigidly deterministic and local. Many-worlds is also called the relative state formulation or the Everett interpretation, after physicist Hugh Everett, who first proposed it in 1957. Bryce DeWitt popularized the formulation and named it many-worlds in the 1970s. According to this interpretation: in the "Schrödinger's cat" paradox, every quantum event is a branch point; the cat is both alive and dead, even before the box is opened, but the "alive" and "dead" cats are in different branches of the multiverse, both of which are equally real, but which do not interact with each other Illustration credit: Christian Schirm
