Yeah well until the sale closes we should avoid tar changes but also acts which could lead to the impression that such a change has occurred (as an appearance of a new 'tar could lead to the impression that :10bux:ing was again permissible).

Avoidance of :10bux: and of :10bux:'s near occasion.

Today, grinds are commonly performed on handrails, lips of benches, tables, hubbas (ledge on a slope), on a hard normal ledge, a flatbar, or just simply anything that is possible enough to grind on it.

If these donation-changes lead to a general belief that changes may now be done without funding the wifebeater and therefore lead to (non-donation) changes which benefit the wifebeater then these donation-changes are performed in error.

it seems like anything about the israel-palestine conflict automatically gets this protection, so the vast majority of the pages are about that. but it also includes

- fortnite
- "pronounciation"
- chicken mcnuggets
- rupaul's drag race all stars (season 4)
- potential superpowers

It's about a British public figure

There's a citation to a newspaper article that just doesn't say the thing it's supposed to

Edit: not royalty or anything, an advisor to the PM. There's a claim she was a member of a Trotskyite group in the 90s that's become "common knowledge" but the group basically didn't exist when she was supposed to be a member. It's a dumb thing that bugs me

The Nelson Mandela article says he led an austere life, refusing to drink alcohol or smoke. They didn't even look at the pictures in Long Walk to Freedom before putting it prominently on the bookshelf.

International Left Hander's Day was created to celebrate sinistrality and raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed in a predominantly right-handed world. It celebrates left-handed people’s uniqueness and differences, a subset of humanity comprising seven to ten percent of the world's population.[citation needed]

Knapp announced his millionth edit to Wikipedia on April 19, 2012.[6] At the time, he had been submitting on average 385 edits a day since signing up in March 2005; about his performance he said: "Being suddenly and involuntarily unemployed will do that to you."[6] Margaret Ferguson, an associate professor of political science at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis and one of Knapp's professors, said she was not surprised by his dedication to editing Wikipedia.[9] In 2012, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales congratulated Knapp for his work and presented him with the site's highest award for his achievement[10] by declaring that April 20 would be Justin Knapp Day.[11] In a 2014 interview with Business Insider, Knapp said that "there is no typical day" with regard to his Wikipedia editing, and that his "go-to edits are small style and typo fixes." He also argued that the declining number of Wikipedia editors is "not necessarily a problem."[12]

His Wikipedia username, Koavf, was chosen as an acronym for "King of all Vext Fans", a reference to a contest Knapp entered for the comic book Vext in the 1990s.[7] Knapp was a significant contributor to Wikipedia's bibliography on George Orwell,[8][13] and he has also made many edits involving the categorization of albums through Wikipedia's category structure.[14] In June 2012, the Indianapolis Star reported that Knapp sometimes edited Wikipedia for as many as 16 hours a day.[15]
