Astrology has no effect on reality, so why should reality have any effect on astrology? – J.S. Stenzel, commenting on astrological planets that astrologers acknowledge don't really exist

This is a manifest and unmerited grievance, since it throws the censure of the vulgar and unlearned entirely upon the philosopher; whereas the fault is not to be ascribed to his theory, which is unquestionably correct, but to the waywardness of Dame Nature, who, with the proverbial fickleness of her sex, is continually indulging in coquetries and caprices, and seems really to take pleasure in violating all philosophic rules, and jilting the most learned and indefatigable of her adorers. [...] The philosophers took this in very ill part, and it is thought they would never have pardoned the slight and affront which they conceived put upon them by the world had not a good-natured professor kindly officiated as a mediator between the parties, and effected a reconciliation. Finding the world would not accommodate itself to the theory, he wisely determined to accommodate the theory to the world. — Washington Irving, Knickerbocker's History of New York Pela primeira vez na sua vida a morte soube o que era ter um cão no regaço.

I know the spelling of Mary Immaculate School(Berhampore) but you gave Merry Immaculate School also Don Bosco School is in Berhampore I added it but ClueBot revomed it . Man I am adding correct things but ClueBot is removing it saying that I have done vandalism Rupmoy (talk) 10:48, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what that has to do with me. I didn't make those edits. You'll need to take it up with ClueBot.

I assume you're Indian? One thing I've noticed with Indian editors is a lack of a space before parentheses. It should be 'School (Berhampore)'. This happens so often that I assume it's a convention of Indian orthography, but it doesn't work for an international audience. — kwami (talk) 19:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are correct I am Indian and a very new wikipedia editor with less than 25 edits. Thanks for pointing my mistake.

From now Hello (World) Rupmoy (talk) 20:43, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i have a question as you are there in wikipedia for more than 20 years. My question is that how do the bots (robots) work and who controls them on wikipedia?? Rupmoy (talk) 02:06, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the blue 'ClueBot' link, you'll be taken to User:ClueBot NG, which explains who controls the bot. The FAQ explains why there are false positives and what to do about them. — kwami (talk) 02:43, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok Rupmoy (talk) 17:21, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What will I have to do?? Rupmoy (talk) 17:25, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a red link to the article you want, or if you create one, click on it and start writing on the page that opens up.

In the welcome message on your talk page, there's a page that links to Help:Your first article. — kwami (talk) 18:27, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

and if there is not a red link? Rupmoy (talk) 01:40, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

'or if you create one' -- you can make a link to the title on your user page. you don't even need to save it, just preview and click on it. but there should be links to your article. you don't want it to be an orphan. — kwami (talk) 03:22, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Rupmoy (talk) 13:24, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to MOS:APOSTROPHE, you recently moved an article from the title Selk'nam genocide to Selkʼnam genocide on the grounds that it was misspelled. This is incorrect as the Manual of Style advises to use the straight apostrophe, not a curly one, on English Wikipedia. Your move was reverted by another user. Also, moving an article unnecessarily causes the article to be mis-assessed by the assessment bot, as page categories are not necessarily updated immediately by the move. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an apostrophe. We try to use proper orthography on WP, and that includes apostrophe-like things such as the Hawaiian okina. — kwami (talk) 23:26, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like an apostrophe to me, and a lot of other editors too. If you disagree with the Manual of Style, I recommend you discuss it in a suitable forum and highlight the agreed consensus policy. Besides, the article is in English, not Hawaiian. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:32, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree. This has already been discussed and settled. MOS apostrophe is for punctuation. This is not punctuation. — kwami (talk) 00:32, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked. The consensus on doing this is still sitting there in the middle of MOS APOSTROPHE. — kwami (talk) 00:35, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
