Happened across a few articles that I saw you had a hand in and was fondly reminded of your courteousness and patience at Talk:Ludwell–Paradise House/GA1. Enjoy this tea as a sign of reverberating appreciation. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 3 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article White chocolate, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that white chocolate (pictured) has been used as a coating for vitamin products? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/White chocolate. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, White chocolate), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Are you planning to include cocoa production in Japan in that draft of yours? Because if so, then I'll hold off on my intended writeup of that topic. Cheers. Yue🌙 05:45, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yue I probably would try to merge it in, as to my understanding, Japan's cocoa production is primarily for domestic purposes (although I may be incorrect here). I won't have time to write up the article for a while, but if you do want to write Chocolate in Japan mainly about cocoa production and leave some cursory notes on history, culture and industry (even just based on the journal articles I've left in the draft), I may be able to come by later and expand. I understand if you want to nominate it for GA for the cup this may not work.

I was actually going to request you write a broad-concept article on cocoa production in Africa, which I think is sufficiently sourced for stand-alone notability and would help navigation. Hope you're well regardless. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:01, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rollinginhisgrave: For this specific topic, I wasn't considering aiming for GA status; I just wanted the article to exist. I also inquired because I didn't want us to overlap our work. Good luck with chocolate in Japan in the long run; I may end up writing cocoa production in Africa in the future but not soon, so you might beat me to it! Cheers.

I had the impression you were committed to the sorely needed reduction of Donald Trump—and you're probably the only editor with the personality, knowledge, and skills to accomplish that. Haven't seen you in awhile; was I mistaken, or have you had a change of heart?

Never mind that you were an asset there in general. ―Mandruss ☎ 22:34, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mandruss. I haven't much time for wiki at the moment with other commitments. Getting the Trump page to meet NPOV is an exciting challenge, so hopefully I will be able to return, although I didn't much enjoy coming into conversations knowing the positions of many editors based on what I perceived to be their politics. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:28, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking more about reduction than NPOV. One or two are doing piecemeal trimming, but that's not going to get the article to where it needs to be. perceived to be their politics I share the perception. All the more need for folks like you. And they of course perceive the same about you and me; I'm regularly accused of being one of a cabal of Trump apologists. I just chuckle to myself. ―Mandruss ☎ 02:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article Rogue Chocolatier you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Rogue Chocolatier for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

I think you need to read wp:bludgeon. Slatersteven (talk) 15:37, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Slatersteven Thanks for the note. I do think new points are being engaged, but it is a little WP:1AM. I'll bring it to WP:NPOV/N and leave it in their hands if I am repeating myself (or if you think I'm repeating myself). Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 15:54, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Rollinginhisgrave, there was a recent post on Bluesky highlighting your work on chocolate articles. It has more than 6000 likes and a bunch of replies, almost entirely positive. You have been dubbed "chocolate hero"! Thanks for all you do here, chocolate-related and otherwise. P.S. out of curiosity, whose grave does your username refer to? Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 00:03, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Crunchydillpickle Oh thanks for letting me know :) it's funny to read, and gives me far too much credit over other editors working on chocolate articles such as Zacharie Grossen, Yue and Zefr.

My username refers to the expression itself rather than commenting on any grave. It's being referenced in a similar way to Wikipedia:UPPERCASE#WP:NOTCENSORED. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 08:01, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RIHG, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to thank you for the perspectives you added to my All-American Bitch FAC. They were beneficial to the article's ascent to FA status. Would you be interested in reviewing this similarly-sized article, also for the FAC process? It is totally fine if you do not have the time or interest. I hope the new year is going well for you so far.--NØ 17:51, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From your comment, 'I've been working on trimming the inter-presidency section.' If you are also planning to trim or condense that full section, could you let me know how it is going for the trimmed version and when do you plan it? ErnestKrause (talk) 21:08, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment on the law suits. I've tried a second version of the edit to trim all 4 subsections into a shortened version. ErnestKrause (talk) 01:29, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nice of you to leave your comment on the condense and trims edit for the Trump rhetoric section. I'm starting to think that the 2 paragraph trimmed version is not sufficient, and have tried to do a version that goes to 3 paragraphs which I'll place here (you can remove it and archive it after reading) to ask about whether you think it is better or not. Here is it in 3 paragraphs now:

Political practice and rhetoric

Beginning with his 2016 campaign, Trump's politics and rhetoric led to the creation of a political movement known as Trumpism.^[2] Trump's political positions are populist,^[3][4] more specifically described as right-wing populist.^[5][6] He helped bring far-right fringe ideas and organizations into the mainstream.^[7] Many of Trump's actions and rhetoric have been described as authoritarian and contributing to democratic backsliding.^[8][9] His political base has been compared to a cult of personality.^[a] Trump's rhetoric and actions inflame anger and exacerbate distrust through an "us" versus "them" narrative.^[17] Trump explicitly and routinely disparages racial, religious, and ethnic minorities,^[18] and scholars consistently find that racial animus regarding blacks, immigrants, and Muslims are the best predictors of support for Trump.^[19] Trump's rhetoric has been described as using fearmongering and demagogy.^[20][21] The alt-right movement coalesced around and supported his candidacy, due in part to its opposition to multiculturalism and immigration.^[22][23][24] He has a strong appeal to evangelical Christian voters and Christian nationalists,^[25] and his rallies take on the symbols, rhetoric and agenda of Christian nationalism.^[26]

Many of Trump's comments and actions have been described as racist.^[27] Trump has been identified as a key figure in increasing political violence in America, both for and against him.^[28][29][30] Before and throughout his presidency, Trump promoted numerous conspiracy theories, including Obama birtherism, the Clinton body count conspiracy theory, the conspiracy theory movement QAnon, the Global warming hoax theory, Trump Tower wiretapping allegations, that Osama bin Laden was alive and Obama and Biden had members of Navy SEAL Team 6 killed, and alleged Ukrainian interference in U.S. elections.^{[31][32][33][34][35]}As a candidate and as president, Trump frequently makes false statements in public remarks^[36][37] to an extent unprecedented in American politics.^[36][38][39] Trump's social media presence attracted worldwide attention after he joined Twitter in 2009. He tweeted frequently during his 2016 campaign and as president until Twitter banned him after the January 6 attack.^[40] In June 2017, the White House press secretary said that Trump's tweets were official presidential statements.^[41] After years of criticism for allowing Trump to post misinformation and falsehoods, Twitter began to tag some of his tweets with fact-checks in May 2020.^[42] In response, he tweeted that social media platforms "totally silence" conservatives and that he would "strongly regulate, or close them down".^[43] In the days after the storming of the Capitol, he was banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other platforms.^[44] The loss of his social media presence diminished his ability to shape events^[45][46] and prompted a dramatic decrease in the volume of misinformation shared on Twitter.^[47]

Trump sought media attention throughout his career, sustaining a "love-hate" relationship with the press.^[48] In the 2016 campaign, he benefited from a record amount of free media coverage.^[49]The first Trump presidency reduced formal press briefings from about a hundred in 2017 to about half that in 2018 and to two in 2019; they also revoked the press passes of two White House reporters, which were restored by the courts.^[50] Trump's 2020 presidential campaign sued The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN for defamation in opinion pieces about Trump's stance on Russian election interference. All the suits were dismissed. The Atlantic characterized the suits as an intimidation tactic.^[51][52] By 2024, he repeatedly voiced support for outlawing political dissent and criticism,^[53] and said that reporters should be prosecuted for not divulging confidential sources and media companies should possibly lose their broadcast licenses for unfavorable coverage of him.^[54] In 2024, Trump sued ABC News for defamation after George Stephanopoulos said on-air that a jury had found him civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carroll. The case was settled in December with ABC's parent company, Walt Disney, apologizing for the inaccurate claims about Trump and agreeing to donate $15 million to Trump's future presidential library.^[55][56][57]

Hi Rolling, how are you? I was lurking through some FACs and I wonder if you could provide some comments for my current FAC, on the Taylor Swift song Forever & Always? I don't want it to get archived... thanks so much in advance! Ippantekina (talk) 02:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ippantekina, thanks for reaching out. I'll have a look at this over the next few hours, I'll just leave some brief comments to start. Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 02:52, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
