No archives and zero comments? What am I missing? Is this a one-editor article? I have no problem with single-creator articles, long as they’re done well, and this looks good, so far.

I do have a quibble, though, and it surprised me, so I thought I’d start a discussion, rather than just ‘being bold’ and changing things solo.

The info-box says simply: “Registration: none”.

In visiting the actual WebSudoku page, the first hyperlink I see, top-center of the landing screen, is ‘’Register - it’s free!’’.

A recent development? Is the info here just stale? I’m not trolling, I ask sincerely. If I’m just missing something, it’s not the first time. Ragity (talk) 21:00, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * In briefly scanning the history, I have decided that the sole creator shows no recent involvement, most edits being by bots or minor tweaks to grammar, etc., so I’ve made the correction. Ragity (talk) 21:30, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Cookbook:Blanching

| Boiling

Blanching is a cooking technique involving boiling food (usually vegetables and fruits) in water for a very short time. Blanching is often followed by plunging the food into ice water to stop the cooking process. Though the word means to make something white or pale, blanching certain vegetables like broccoli will make their colors more vivid.

Blanching is commonly used to remove skins from tomatoes and almonds.

Vegetables are often blanched prior to freezing or canning. This helps preserve the food by slowing down or halting enzyme action that causes foods to break down, losing color, flavor, and nutritional value.

Blanching is similar to parboiling, which also involves boiling food briefly in water. Certain vegetables may benefit from being blanched or parboiled before being stir-fried. One quick way to blanch vegetables is to boil fresh vegetables in water, with salt, for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, before immediately draining and freezing them.

Newbie Junction Halt railway station

Newbie Junction Halt railway station was a railway station in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, located just west of Annan on the old Glasgow and South Western Railway main line that briefly served workers employed 0.5 mile or circa 800 metres away at the Cochran & Co. Boiler factory and the Newbie Brick and Tile Works at Newbie. The Newbie Siding branched off near the halt and was accessed from the west.

History
The halt was not open to the general public and only served workers at the factories served by the Newbie Branch. Trains served this workers halt in the morning and evening. It is not recorded if workers were taken to their destination by rail or whether they walked the short half-mile, however it seems unlikely given the short distance and a passenger carriage would be required and a platform of some description at the end of the line. The Newbie Brick and Tile Works had closed and the track lifted by 1929 and terraced housing was constructed for the boiler factory employees. The halt opened around 1898 and was closed around 1904.

Operation
In 1898 the key for Newbie Junction was kept in an Annan railway station signal box and the Newbie Junction box was opened as required by a porter travelling by train from Annan.

In 1898 no trains were permitted to call at Newbie Branch Junction during foggy weather or between sunset and sunrise unless the Main Line and Branch Signals were lit. if a train had to call at Newbie Junction the following procedures were to be followed with "Is Line Clear?" signalled "as applicable to a train calling at an intermediate siding in a Block Section must be sent to Cummertrees. The signalman in Annan Cabin must not allow a Down Train to follow until the "Line Clear" or "Train out of Section" Signal, as the case may be has been received from Cummertrees, indicating that the train which called at Newbie Branch Junction has arrived complete with the tail lamp attached, and has passed forward clear of the section, or been shunted clear of the Down Line."

Infrastructure
The halt stood on a double-track section of track and the mineral branch was served by trains from the west. No details survive of the station's construction; however it is likely to have been built of wood. The halt was 73 mi from Kilmarnock railway station. A signal box stood on the south side of the line here, opposite the junction to Newbie with main line and branch signal posts present. A network of lanes joined the station site with the nearby factories via Milnfield and a path running beside the River Annan.

The site today
The single track Newbie Branch line ran into the boiler factory that has now been mostly lifted and nothing remains of the halt. The large factory site is partly camouflaged by tree plantations and some unused track remains in situ within the works itself. No signal box is present and an old crossover has been lifted.

Kivas Tully

Kivas Tully, ISO (1820 – 24 April 1905) was an Irish-Canadian architect.

Life
Born in Garryvacum in County Laois, Ireland, Kivas Tully was the son of John P. Tully, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and Alicia Willington. He trained as an architect at the Royal Naval School in London, England, before coming to the Province of Canada in 1844, arriving in Toronto, where he began working at the firm of John George Howard, designing many important buildings throughout southern Ontario.

Following Canadian Confederation, Tully joined the Ontario Department of Public Works in 1868. He was appointed the first Ontario Provincial architect (1868–1896) and engineer. He was involved in the supervising of the competition leading to the design of the Ontario Legislative Building at Queen's Park. As the provincial department of public works' chief architect, Tully supervised a series of district courthouses built in northern Ontario. The courthouse at Parry Sound designed in 1871 still forms the core of the present courthouse complex.

The Ontario Archives hold drawings for virtually all provincial buildings including courthouses, registry offices, goals & lock-ups, schools and colleges, hospitals and other works executed under his supervision from 1896 until 1926.

In 1903, Tully was awarded the Imperial Service Order. He had retired in 1896 and died in Toronto on 24 April 1905.

Works
Some of his more prominent projects include:

Personal
Tully was married twice, first to Elizabeth Drew in 1844 (died 1847) and Maria Elizabeth Strickland in 1852 (died 1883). He had four daughters, and was survived by two, including the artist Sydney Strickland Tully (1860–1911), when he died in 1905.

Publications

 * Preliminary report of the engineer, on the survey of the various routes, for the proposed ship canal, to connect the waters of lakes Huron & Ontario at Toronto, presented to the president of the Board of Trade, 1857.

Ruby Programming/Syntax/Lexicology

Identifiers
An identifier is a name used to identify a variable, method, or class.

As with most languages, valid identifiers consist of alphanumeric characters (A-Za-z0-9) and underscores (_), but may not begin with a digit (0-9). Additionally, identifiers that are method names may end with a question mark (?), exclamation point (!), or equal sign (=).

There are no arbitrary restrictions to the length of an identifier (i.e. it may be as long as you like, limited only by your computer's memory). Finally, there are reserved words which may not be used as identifiers.

Examples: foobar ruby_is_simple

Comments
Line comments run from a bare '#' character to the end of the line. Code commenting and documentation is best implemented with Ruby Embedded Documentation. http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/rdtool.html

Examples: print "Hello" # this line prints "Hello"
 * 1) this line does nothing;

Embedded Documentation
Example: =begin Everything between a line beginning with `=begin' down to one beginning with `=end' will be skipped by the interpreter. These reserved words must begin in column 1. =end

Reserved Words
The following words are reserved in Ruby: __FILE__ and    def       end     in      or      self   unless __LINE__ begin  defined? ensure module  redo    super  until BEGIN    break  do        false   next    rescue  then   when END      case   else      for     nil     retry   true   while alias    class  elsif     if      not     return  undef  yield

You can find some examples of using them here.

Expressions
Example: true (1 + 2) * 3 foo if test then okay else not_good end All variables, literals, control structures, etcetera are expressions. Using these together is called a program. You can divide expressions with newlines or semicolons — however, a newline with a preceding backslash (\) is continued to the following line.

Since in Ruby control structures are expressions as well, one can do the following: The above equivalent in a language such as C would generate a syntax error since control structures are not expressions in the C language.

The durian (/ˈdjʊriən/)is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio. There are 30 recognised Durio species, at least nine of which produce edible fruit. Durio zibethinus is the only species available in the international market: other species are sold in their local regions.

Regarded by many people in southeast Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, strong odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk. The fruit can grow as large as 30 centimetres (12 in) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) in diameter, and it typically weighs one to three kilograms (2 to 7 lb). Its shape ranges from oblong to round, the colour of its husk green to brown, and its flesh pale yellow to red, depending on the species.

The Darlington Arena

The Darlington Arena is a rugby union stadium, located in Darlington, County Durham.

The arena was opened in the summer of 2003, as the new home ground of Darlington F.C., following the decision to leave their previous ground, Feethams, after the 2002–03 season. With a seating capacity of 25,000, the arena rarely attracted large crowds, with the usual attendance being around 2,000. The cost of the arena caused the club to go into administration three times. Eventually, the club decided to leave the arena after nine years following the 2011–12 season.

In December 2012, after rumours that the arena could be closed down and be replaced with different reported purposes, rugby union team, Darlington Mowden Park RFC purchased the arena for £2 million; the owner of the club later stated that he believed that the arena could lead to much more success for the club.

History
Prior to moving to the ground in 2003, Darlington F.C. had been playing at Feethams, located near to the town centre. The current stadium was built on a greenfield site next to Darlington's A66 bypass. Upon completion the arena was originally called the Reynolds Arena, after the club's then owner, George Reynolds. However, Reynolds was declared bankrupt soon afterwards and arrested on charges of money laundering. As a result of this, the stadium’s name was changed to the New Stadium in April 2004.

The Arena consists of four equally sided stands. The West Stand, located behind the goal, was generally the more vocal of the two sides used by home supporters.

A crowd of 11,600 watched the first game in the new stadium for a 2–0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers. Since then, the ground averaged a gate of around 1,500 to 2,000 supporters, although certain fixtures such as the derby match defeat against local rivals Hartlepool United in March 2007 (9,987 spectators), pulled in a significantly larger turnout. The club has sold the naming rights for the stadium to various sponsors: Williamson Motors, 96.6 TFM, Balfour Webnet, and in 2009 The Northern Echo; since Darlington Mowden Park RFC have used the arena, it has been named The Northern Echo Arena, rather than the previous name The Northern Echo Darlington Arena.

It was the largest Conference National venue with a capacity of 25,000. Attendances for football matches were restricted to 10,000 by local planning regulations, because of poor access roads around the stadium, although the club was allowed to apply for an exception for special occasions - namely cup ties against bigger clubs.

It was announced in May 2012 that Darlington would no longer play at the Darlington Arena. The club initially agreed a ground share deal with Shildon A.F.C., before deciding to share with Bishop Auckland F.C. instead.

Following the announcement that the football club would no longer play at the arena, it was reported that the arena may be closed down and be replaced by a housing estate. However, in December 2012, Darlington Mowden Park R.F.C. bought the arena for £2 million, as well as 17 acres of adjoining land, with the intention of developing a multi-sports facility; the club owner stated that he hoped that playing at the arena would improve Mowden Park's performances. This would be proved to be true, as they were promoted to National League 1, the third tier of English rugby union, beginning in the 2014–15 season.

The club played their first game at the arena on 2 February 2013, in front of a crowd of over 1,000 spectators, defeating Bromsgrove 62–7 in a National League 2 North league game. Regular attendances would bring in around 700–1,300 spectators.

Other uses
The Arena also played host to the first professional rugby league match to be played in County Durham, when Gateshead Thunder used the ground for their fifth round 2009 Challenge Cup game against Oldham due to a fixture clash.

Concerts
Darlington planned to use the stadium for musical concerts to increase club revenue. Elton John was the first act to play at the stadium, on 5 July 2008, attracting a crowd of 17,000.

In 2018 Steps and A-ha performed at the arena, followed in 2019 by Jess Glynne.

Vaccinations
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the arena was used as a large vaccination centre. It was able to vaccinate up to 7,700 people per week.

"don't start something that you won't be able to finish!" <-- Wikiversity is a wiki. What one person starts other people will continue.

Why to actually not contribute to Wikiversity
"Because it will one day hurt my career" <-- just enough to stop you getting tenure at Brown.

"...my hard work will be undone by sanctimonious gits..." <-- Wikiversity is a wiki. It has an advanced, nepotistic administrative regime that will see your edits get junked in seconds.

Port Morris, New Jersey

Port Morris is a historic unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) located within Roxbury Township, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Despite its name, Port Morris is in the hills of the Skylands Region, on the shores of Lake Musconetcong.

In the 1820s, George P. Macculloch envisioned a canal that would transport Pennsylvania coal to New York City. The plan was to construct a canal from Phillipsburg, New Jersey at the confluence of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, near the coal fields, to Newark, Jersey City or New York City. The section of the Morris Canal was completed to Newark in 1831, and Port Morris become one of the major stops established along the route of the Canal.

With the rise of the railroad came the demise of canals. Despite the changeover in transportation methods, Port Morris found a new role. With the construction of the Lackawanna Cutoff, constructed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad between 1908 and 1911, Port Morris became a major railroad junction and the starting point of the Cutoff.

Demographics
As of the 2020 United States census, the area's population was 754.

Vicente S. Santos Jr.

Vicente "Vic" Sumajit Santos Jr. (May 17, 1944 – February 17, 2012) was a colonel of the Philippine Army – Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). He is the author of several military books and other publications,  as well as the founding president of Kapatiran ng mga Kawal na Makawikang Pilipino (KAKAMPI).

Early life
Santos was born in Asingan in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines on May 17, 1944, to 3rd Lt. Vicente De Leon Santos and Catalina Dela Cruz Sumajit, he was the eldest among three children. His father was then a military officer who served under the USAFFE during World War II, and was later absorbed in the Armed Forces of the Philippines after the war, whereas his mother worked as a government school teacher.

He took his secondary education in Southern Christian College and graduated valedictorian in 1961.

He graduated at the University of the Philippines with a degree in AB Social Science in 1966. He also showed interest in the military when he graduated on the top of his Advance University of the Philippines ROTC Class of 1966 at the University of the Philippines Diliman Campus as a cadet colonel and class valedictorian.

Military career
He held several positions in the Armed Forces of the Philippines during his military career, one of them is the position of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations, G-7 and Historical Officer of the HSC, General Headquarters, AFP.

The last position he occupied in the Armed Forces of the Philippines before his retirement was Chief of Value Information Division, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil-Military Operations, J-7, AFP.

Defense of Camp Emilio Aguinaldo – August 1987
During the attempt to overthrow the Corazon Aquino government in 1987, Santos was one of the defenders of the General Headquarters Building located at the center of Camp Aguinaldo, the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. The GHQ building was burned to the ground during an attack by rebel forces of the Reform the Armed Forces Movement, and Santos sustained serious injuries to his lungs; injuries which eventually caused him to take a Complete Disability Discharge (CDD) and retire from military service in 1991.

In the book entitled Demokrasya at Kudeta, by Col. Gaudencio "Ding" L. San Juan, the defense of the GHQ Building was cited and particularly, Santos' account was mentioned.

Private life
Santos married the former Erlinda Solis Tolete on June 22, 1969. Erlinda Santos was a public school teacher, and also a civil servant. They have six children, Vicente III, Benhur, Singapor, Vicerly, Pilipino and Fabian.

Santos was a Born-again Apostolic Christian, he believed in the apostolic doctrine in the Bible at the Book of Acts, Chapter Two (New Testament Plan of Salvation: Acts 2:38) that states:

"And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.""

and attended church at the Lighthouse Apostolic Ministry of Pentecost (LAMP). Before his conversion to born-again Christianity, Santos had been a Bible reader since his childhood. His mother, who was a Methodist, taught him biblical principles which he eventually carried on throughout his life. At one instance, a few hours before the bloodiest coup attack in Camp Aguinaldo, he was approached by Col. Honasan to convince him to join the coup attempts and support the rebel forces against the Aquino administration. Santos took hold of his pocket Bible and declined the invitation to join the coup. '"I am neutral, my loyalty belongs to God and to my country..."'. A few hours later, the siege of Camp Aguinaldo began.

Retirement years
After the bloodiest coup attempt of 1987, Santos' health slowly deteriorated as a result of his taking part in the defense of the AFP GHQ building, which the rebel soldiers razed to the ground.

Although, he was insistent to continue serving his nation in the Armed Forces of the Philippines; his body could no longer fully perform the physical rigors of a soldier. Upon the advice of his military doctors, Santos inevitably opted to file for a Complete Disability Discharge (CDD) paving way for his early retirement on September 30, 1991.

Having completed 25 years of service, starting from January 17, 1966, to September 29, 1991; Santos retired from the military service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the grade of colonel pursuant to Sections 7, 9 and 17 of Presidential Decree 1638, and AFP General Orders 932 dated December 7, 1992.

Santos went on to serve his nation through writing of several military books and publications. He also participated in the development of his community. In 1997, he was appointed as a Public Information Officer of Brgy. Putatan, Muntinlupa by Col. Pablo E. Salamat, who was then the Barangay Chairman of Putatan, Muntinlupa. He also became a columnist and Editor-in-chief of "Ang Bagong Kalayaan" newspaper (1996); and "Balita sa Barangay" (The first Barangay Newsletter in the Philippines, and the official newsletter of Barangay Putatan, Muntinlupa – 1997).

His dedication for the military and concern for the welfare of the veterans and retired soldiers inspired him to write his last book entitled, "The Veteran is Worth Caring For". Together with his youngest son, Prof. Fabian T. Santos, and several military friends like Col. Robinson Lumontod and Col. Gaudencio San Juan, they extensively researched and compiled veteran issues and records which comprised the book.

After several months of praying and coordinating with government agencies, the book was finally launched on May 17, 2011, at the AFP Theatre, Camp Aguinaldo; coincidentally it was also his birthday. The latest volume of this book was co-published by the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) through the support of Undersecretary of National Defense Ernesto G. Carolina.

Death
He died in February 17, 2012, due to lung complications caused by the disability he incurred while defending the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in one of the bloodiest coup d'état of the 1986–90 Philippine coup attempts. The coup attempt was led by then Col. Gregorio Honasan, a friend and colleague of his.

Santos Hall
During the incumbency of then Gen. Hermogenes Esperon as the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, a hall inside the AFP General Headquarters was named in honor of Santos. Santos Hall was a recognition of his plight in the burning GHQ building during the defense of the Camp Aguinaldo against the bloodiest coup attempt of August 1987.

Place of interment
Several government officials and officers of the military attended his wake, including former Philippine president Fidel V. Ramos.

He is interred at the COL. VICENTE S. SANTOS, JR - TOMB at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, Fort Andres Bonifacio, Metro Manila.

Publications
Santos was a prolific writer, an advocate of the Filipino language and was influential in the use of Filipino (Tagalog) military commands and terminology in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Together with Col. Gaudencio "Ding" San Juan, he co-founded the Kapatiran ng mga Kawal na Makawikang Pilipino (KAKAMPI), a military organization to promote the use of Filipino for the development of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and served as its founding President.

Santos wrote several military books and other publications, among which were:

 * The Veteran is Worth Caring For (2010) (Revised 2011)

Talk:Alt-right/Archive 13

RfC on Lede Section
Which of these three versions should be the basis of the lede section on the alt-right article? Power~enwiki (talk) 03:53, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Option A: - the previous consensus version

The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loose group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism, principally in the United States, but also to a lesser degree in Canada and Europe. Paul Gottfried is the first person to use the term "alternative right", when referring specifically to developments within American right-wing politics, in 2008. The term has since gained wide currency with the rise of the so-called "alt-right". White supremacist *
 * Chris Welch and Sara Ganim, White Supremacist Richard Spencer: 'We reached tens of millions of people' with video, CNN, December 6, 2016. "Now Spencer, a 38-year-old white supremacist and founder of the so-called alt-right movement, is taking his rhetoric on the road..."

 * "Campus clashes as US white supremacist gives speech." London Evening Standard [London, England], December 7, 2016, p. 22. "Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with riot police at a protest against a white supremacist's speech at a leading American university. Richard Spencer, who gained notoriety for holding a so-called "alt-right" meeting celebrating Donald Trump's election triumph with Nazi rhetoric, told students attending the speech at the Texas A&M University last night: 'At the end of the day, America belongs to white men.'"

Richard Spencer coined the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism, and has been accused by some media publications of doing so to excuse overt racism, white supremacism, and neo-Nazism.    The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 US presidential election.

The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 US presidential election.

Alt-right beliefs have been described as isolationist, protectionist, antisemitic, and white supremacist,  frequently overlapping with Neo-Nazism,   nativism and Islamophobia,   antifeminism and homophobia,    right-wing populism, and the neoreactionary movement. The concept has further been associated with multiple groups from American nationalists, neo-monarchists, men's rights advocates, and the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

The alt-right has its roots on Internet websites such as 4chan and 8chan, where anonymous members create and use Internet memes to express their ideologies. It is difficult to tell how much of what people write in these venues is serious and how much is intended to provoke outrage. Members of the alt-right use websites like Alternative Right, Twitter, Breitbart, and InfoWars to convey their message. Alt-right postings generally support Donald Trump   and oppose immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness.

The alt-right has also had a significant influence on conservative thought in the United States, such as the Sailer Strategy for winning political support, along with having close ties to the Trump Administration. It has been listed as a key reason for Trump's win in the 2016 election. The Trump administration includes several figures who are associated with the alt-right, such as White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. In 2016, Bannon described Breitbart as "the platform for the alt-right," with the goal of promoting the ideology.

 * Option B: - a version by User:Power~enwiki

The alt-right is a far-right political movement that rejects mainstream conservatism, promoted mainly through Internet activism. The term gained widespread use in the United States during the 2016 election to refer to some supporters of Donald Trump.

The term was popularized by white supremacist Richard Spencer and his website Alternative Right. It gained popularity through content on websites such as 4chan, Twitter, InfoWars, and Breitbart News. It is strongly associated with certain online memes, such as Pepe the Frog.

The movement generally supports isolationism, nativism and protectionism, and opposes immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness. It has been criticized for having prominent supporters who are antisemitic, Islamophobic, racist, sexist and homophobic. It is also associated with fringe groups such as the men's rights movement and the neoreactionary movement.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the alt-right strongly supported the Trump campaign. Hillary Clinton attacked the alt-right as "racist ideas ... anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-women ideas" and accused Donald Trump of taking the alt-right "mainstream". The Trump administration includes several figures who are associated with the alt-right, such as White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.

 * Option C: a version by User:Don1182 as suggested above.

The alt-right is a loose group of right-wing activists that reject political correctness, feminism, globalism, egalitarianism, and multiculturalism. Once considered a fringe element among the party, the faction saw significant and profound growth during Donald Trump's run for President of the United States and his Presidency. The movement is made up of right-wing populists, neoreactionaries, national anarchists and anarcho-capitalists, paleoconservatives, national syndicalists, anti-Zionists, paleolibertarians, white nationalists, and members of the men's rights movement. More extreme elements include white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and fascists. The alt-right has had a significant influence on Republican thought in the United States, including using the Sailer Strategy for winning political support. This has been listed as a key reason for Trump's win in the 2016 election, due to Trump's massive gains among white men. The Trump administration also includes several figures who are associated with the alt-right, such as White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. In 2016, Bannon described Breitbart as "the platform for the alt-right". Notable members of the alt-right include Steve Bannon, Richard B. Spencer, Lauren Southern, Jared Taylor, and Milo Yiannopoulos.

!Votes

 * Option B as nom Power~enwiki (talk) 03:53, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A. While Option A could benefit from some stylistic tweaking, I fear the alternatives are merely attempts to water down what reliable sources have to say so as to better fit reality to some editors' worldviews. Option B is the less offensive of those alternatives, but it removes too much information. Antinoos69 (talk) 13:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A. Strongly agree with everything stated by, above. Option B appears to remove way too much sourced content from the lede intro section. Agree with Antinoos69 that this seems like attempts to water down what reliable sources have to say so as to better fit reality to some editors' worldviews. Sagecandor (talk) 17:55, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A - For now. See my comments below. Would rather see a trimming and reordering of the current lead. For example, the second sentence can be removed and the part about anti-immigration can be moved to the second paragraph.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 18:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A. The other versions don't accurately summarize the sources or the article; in particular, omitting or minimizing white nationalism (which virtually all reliable, mainstream sources identify a defining feature of the movement, often the defining feature) is clearly not workable.  Version B in particular is simply unusable for this reason - it reads like it was written to avoid offending people rather than to accurately summarize what the sources say.  It's important to underline that WP:NPOV is about accurately summarizing the sources with weight appropriate to their reputation and focus - it isn't about removing or minimizing something simply because some readers might find it controversial. --Aquillion (talk) 19:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A - see no benefit to other options and plenty of downsides. PeterTheFourth (talk) 20:12, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option B For a more fair and unbiased lede. I've commented in-depth below. Bigdan201 (talk) 02:52, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option B - The only version that fairly describes reality, regardless of how well-sourced the propaganda currently posted is. This is an information site, not a media site--and there is documented proof of the media's left-wing bias (which is what is being 'cited' as if they were facts) . Provide accurate information and let the reader interpret their view. It should be mentioned that there are radical elements, but they are not the core. Bferg317 (talk) 06:03, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

 * So, a brand new account created solely to vote here? Gives "liberal media propaganda" as their reasoning? Fascinating.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 07:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * don't knock it. Votes from accounts created by those invested in a POV in order to vote on a specific RfC by calling fundamental wp:5p policies into question are very valuable in establishing consensus. They don't change the veracity of the currently used sources, but they cast a great deal of light on the motivation behind the RfC and destroy more shrewdly disguised efforts to insert POV into the encyclopedia.
 * I'm not trying to insert POV as much as trying to keep it out. Note the confusion between alt-lite and alt-right. also, here's a source for you: http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-alt-right-branding-war-has-torn-the-movement-in-two this describes the controversy between the white nationalist elements of the alt-right and those who oppose Spencer and his ilk. Bigdan201 (talk) 16:44, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Option B - is best of the three at meeting WP:LEAD. Option A has missteps at start and way too much.   Option C goes astray in second para. Markbassett (talk) 02:17, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Summoned by bot Option A, and strongly so. It is not ideal, but is far better than the alternatives, and accurately reflects the reliable sources. Option B mentions a few very specific things, and the choice is very strange: Hillary Clinton's views, as a politician, should not be given more weight than the views of reliable secondary sources. The mention of Pepe is totally undue weight. Likewise, the first sentence should identify the subject of the article and mention its most relevant aspects; Trump's 2016 campaign is not a defining characteristic. Option C has similar problems. Rejection of political correctness is very far from the first characteristic identified by reliable sources. Vanamonde (talk) 04:41, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option B, because the criteria for being a "reliable source" isn't being "mainstream", whatever that undefined term means. It's being accurate as a reliable source for what the truth is, that truth in our case reflecting what prominent viewpoints are on a certain subject. Breitbart, for example, reflects accurately on the views of many in the alt-right. The view that the alt-right is not inherently "white nationalist" is widely held among many prominent adherents. Take this Breitbart article. It doesn't overemphasize white nationalism, which is what should be the stance of the lede too. One cannot simultaneously refer to the presidents chief strategist and his news organization as "alt right" or at least being associated with such while simultaneously denying their opinions any weight whatsoever. Breitbart et al are prominent voices, and reflects a large segment of the population. WP:DUE exists, and dare I say it, maybe the people with a significant hand in electing the president of the United States should perhaps be considered an important source in their own right, or at least their perspectives shpuld be mentioned in the lede of the Wikipedia article on their own movement. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 18:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Discussion
Some comments and concerns: Just my initial comments. Something between A and B would be ideal (trim A to be closer to B).  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 05:27, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Option A is the most detailed, but a bit overly so. It could use some detail trimming at the very lease.
 * Option B - Feels watered down overall. Other issues are: (1) can we really call this a movement when the body of the article explicitly questions it? and (2) it's not just prominent supporters who are FUBARphobes, but rather is a sizable chunk of entire set of people who adhere to this ideology.
 * Option C - even more watered down and casts the white supremacists as somehow fringe to the alt-right, despite RS.

 * More concerns.
 * Just tidy up the existing version where necessary. Both of the other versions are veiled attempts to distance AR supporters from various unsavory concepts, in spite of the fact that RS predominantly views the distance between AR and various elements of fascism as being measurable on the Planck scale.

 * In summary, the point of the revision seems to be to imbue the reader with the idea that reliable sources are on the fence when it comes to portraying this group, when in reality nothing could be further from the truth. The options suggested are relatively shrewdly written compared to the usual whitewashing attempts on this article, but I think that in no way should the results of the above vote be seen as a binding consensus on the final outcome of the lede.
 * Edaham (talk) 06:55, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * This is an RfC, requested specifically to be binding based on previous discussions. Apart from WP:IDONTLIKEIT, why don't you think the results of the RfC should be a binding consensus? Power~enwiki (talk) 07:03, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I couldn't have been more explicitly clear in my summary: It's an effort to replace what reliable sources actually say, with a version which makes it seem like they say something else. In the tiny chance that I have not been clear, other editors will make up their minds. "I don't like it" is precisely why this article is being subjected to this process in the first place. The lede does need stylistic modifications, but not to the point that the way it presents the sources on which it is based needs to be altered.Edaham (talk) 07:12, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You said "in no way should the results of the above vote be seen as a binding consensus on the final outcome of the lede." I am assuming that was intended purely as rhetorical flourish, and you're not objecting to the concept of the RfC process? Power~enwiki (talk) 07:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It was not rhetorical, neither was it objecting to WP policy. You yourself subjected this issue to a vote in your styling of the opening paragraphs of your thread on this page. If you believe this to be a binding part of an RfC then you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia's dispute resolution system. Since this is a complicated area of Wikipedia, I invite people involved in this thread not to take your, or my word for it but to familiarize themselves with the processes here, here and here. Edaham (talk) 07:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Fine, if other editors don't disagree with your view, I'll close this RfC and go straight to Dispute Resolution tomorrow. There's no point in a month-long process if the editors at this page will continue to object afterwards. Power~enwiki (talk) 07:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * To clear up what may be the mis-conception: this is not a "majority" vote. However, the consensus as determined by an uninvolved admin is binding.  If the editors on this page do not accept that, the RfC should be closed. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:30, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Option B looks good. Option C is decent, but feels more like internal content than a lede. In any case, a shift away from A is highly recommended. While wiki is based on sources, I still think editors should use their discretion in using them, especially when it comes to a current political issue with alot of controversy. It's fine to state that the alt-right has been accused of certain things, it's another thing to state definitely what they are. This sort of obsequious attitude towards sources can undermine the integrity of wiki, especially on an issue like this. The idea is to proceed with caution, rather than applying strong labels haphazardly. Bigdan201 (talk) 11:37, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It is of note to the discussion that those invested in it, while quick to defend their erroneous understanding of Wikipedia's policies when it comes to mediation, are fine with the idea of portraying the (fundamentally important) accurate presentation of reliable sources as obsequious and haphazard. Whilst the subject of Alt-right it's self, as spectacle of debate, may provoke controversy, the way it has been portrayed in a preponderance of reliable sources cited in this article is not controversial. It is not a good idea to change the wording to give the impression that any perceived negative elements of the alt right derive from the accusations of its detractors when the majority of sources simply don't say that. Edaham (talk) 01:12, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree that reliable sources are fundamentally important. On many topics, there is only a minimal need to question reliable sources, especially a preponderance. However, I'm arguing that current political developments require greater caution, especially in a turbulent situation like ours. I'll come out and say it, I think many sources are biased and/or inaccurate in their understanding of alt-right ideology. It is not primarily white supremacist/nationalist. There may be overlap, but the alt-right is primarily about anti-establishment conservatism, radical populism, ethno-nationalism, and opposition to the Left (especially Social Justice) and political correctness. Of course, much of this is original research, and I'd have to pull sources together, but this is my understanding. I'm not saying I should be able to dictate, I'm saying that in light of all this, you should be cautious and avoid committing to strong labels, even if there are many supporting articles and blogs. I'm outweighed here, but I'm writing all this because I value accuracy, and I see accuracy being swept aside in favor of blindly following a popular misunderstanding. Bigdan201 (talk) 02:49, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

As far as the "white nationalist" comments; I'd love to see a section in the article with the title "White nationalism". If it is as close as various editors suggest, there should be ample material for such a section. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:30, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

 * I tend to agree with the analysis of Edaham, the proposed changes attempt to cast the alt-right in better light portraying controversial core issues into non-core issues (White nationalism, Antisemitism, islamophobia, etc.). I found it quite of a an irony the movement that criticizes so much "political correcness" is now proposed here to be portrayed in such manner that it fits "political correctness". I suggest the older pre RfC version should be kept until a new consensus arrives on place. Lappspira (talk) 02:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Option B is good and best follows WP:LEAD - the flow is logical, with definition per WP:LEADPARAGRAPH, history, themes, and a neatly attributed bit from Clinton speech about them. The other two seem wrong length and also content not good for LEAD of an article.  Option A also has some problems beyond just being overly long.  First, the definition line seems a bit incomplete/incorrect/internally conflicted in showing it as too organized/focused to white racism yet linking it to Far-right politics.  Winds up entirely missing that it is a loose collective term and any internet tie-in.  The cites there are about unrest in France/Canada rather than about what alt-right is, and it seems at odds or excluding some of the article content and external RS usages.  Elsewhere, we have definitions like these:
 * [Oxford https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/alt-right] "(in the US) an ideological grouping associated with extreme conservative or reactionary viewpoints, characterized by a rejection of mainstream politics and by the use of online media to disseminate deliberately controversial content."
 * [Cambridge http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/alt-right] "people with extreme conservative views, including extreme views about race, who reject ordinary politics and use the internet to spread their opinions. Alt-right is an abbreviation for "alternative right" "
 * [NBC http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/hillary-clinton-delivering-speech-alt-right-what-s-n637701] covering the Clinton speech "The alt-right, shorthand for “alternative right,” is the blanket term for a loose gathering of conservatives primarily based online that can include everyone from critics of so-called “political correctness” on college campuses to hardcore white supremacists and neo-Nazis."
 * [Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/08/24/whats-the-alt-right-a-primer/?utm_term=.b6fe700f4937] "the movement remains elastically defined, harboring some terms and personalities that remain obscure or impenetrable. This is a guide — which can and will be updated — to the basics."
 * Second big issue seems that as a political labeling or vague pejorative, it not only is vague and in flux but needs caution about WP:LABEL and straying into being ad hominem attacks or guilt by association. The use of 4 and 5 cites seems a possible reflection of contentious POV, especially with many offbeat ones.  (Quillette? Tablet? Christian Science Monitor? Rolling Stone?  Taki's Magazine? Salon?  New Statesman? Mother Jones?)  And the every-single-paragraph of 'Election, Campaign, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Bannon, Bannon' seems overkill both on WP:WEIGHT and running astray on WP:LEAD structure and length when compared to Option B does a single mention at the end in context that is neatly attributed.
 * Cheers, Markbassett (talk) 03:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Reply to Edaham

 * movement... promoted mainly through Internet activism. the alt right are supporters of movements, not a movement. They are nothing so romanticized as activists.
 * I disagree that "internet activism" is a romantic term, but that's not relevant. As a political movement, the main distinguishing feature of the alt-right is their use of the internet.  If you have a better wording, I'm happy to replace it.

 * The movement supports isolationism, nativism and protectionism, and opposes immigration, multiculturalism and political correctness. It has been criticized for having prominent supporters who are antisemitic, Islamophobic, racist, sexist and homophobic. thus dividing the less attractive attributes of supporters as having originated as criticisms from their detractors, rather than (as has been demonstrated) being things they espouse directly.
 * Correct. Specifically with anti-semitism, it's clearly inaccurate to call the entire movement anti-semitic, most references say the alt-right also includes some Jews, as well as people who are against all religions.  For other terms where there is controversy, it's best to not paint with a broad stroke to avoid WP:BLP issues.

 * Hillary Clinton attacked the alt-right as "racist ideas ... anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-women ideas" and accused Donald Trump of taking the alt-right "mainstream". again taking controversial components of the alt right ideological makeup and casting them as being accusations of a political adversary. RS shows these components as having originated with prominent alt-right figures themselves as well as being claims made by detractors
 * The problem with writing about the alt-right is that nobody wants to admit to any definition at all. Hillary Clinton, as a national political figure not associated with the alt-right, is as neutral a person I can find to give a definition of the alt-right in her own words.

 * More extreme elements include white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and fascists. yet another way of obliquely saying we're not all bad, when it could be plainly stating what RS states, which is that these elements are associated with AR.
 * I'm not sure it's possible to use the phrase "neo-Nazi" in the lede at all without violating NPOV or giving them WP:UNDUE promotion.

Power~enwiki (talk) 21:29, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks for your reply and for contributing to the discussion so throuroughly. It's one thing to say that the movement consists of some people who are antisemetic and white nationalist (which is verifiable) and another to say that the group has been accused of being so (which is also verifiable). It would be better to mention both, rather than to omit the first. Edaham (talk) 06:52, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

This looks likely to be "no consensus" at this time, favoring keeping the existing lede. I do still feel that a bunch of details in the lede (entirely un-related to the white supremacy discussion) are excessive; such as mentioning Paul Gottfried in the second sentence. If Edaham or someone else supporting Option A has a proposal to remove some of that cruft that isn't viewed as a violation of NPOV, I'm happy to withdraw my proposal. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:59, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Google memo and Charlottesville rally
Google's Ideological Echo Chamber and 2017 Unite the Right rally both are described as the "alt-right" doing things in multiple news sources. Should these be discussed in this article? Power~enwiki (talk) 21:31, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

I think this should be mentioned in the article. The event was organized by various alt-right groups. Allinallisallweallare19 (talk) 21:42, 13 August 2017 (UTC) Did you read the google memo? It went against alt-right views Jack1234567891011121314151617 (talk) 10:10, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

 * re|Allinallisallweallare19|Jack1234567891011121314151617}} Its article doesn't mention it. The Mercury News source doesn't mention the Unite the Right Rally. The organisers of the planned rallies against Google made it clear (listen to the interview)this has nothing to do with the alt-right and was planned before the rally. There's no point in telling people to read the memo, we wouldn't use it as a source about the alt-right or this rally. Please read no original research. Doug Weller  talk 10:45, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

The term is so new the article suffers significanty from a lack of secondary sources. A few new ones have appeared in the past month (and I suspect more pieces are being worked on now); perhaps there will be enough for a full-scale re-write in September. I'm still not sure whether the "Pepe the Frog / Kek" people are generally considered part of the alt-right or if they are a separate movement. The "neo-reactionaries" are another group that is known among Wikipedia contributors but possibly not considered notable enough to mention when describing the alt-right.

Use of memes
This article is so just wrong.... It was obviously written by someone who does not browse memes pages or understands them. So i will go over everything and tell you why it's wrong, also i'm sorry i just deleted it yesterday it was so horrible to look at.

The alt-right's use of Internet memes to express and advance its beliefs, often on websites such as 4chan, 8chan and The Daily Stormer, has been widely reported.[14][28][124][125] Among the most widely used are the following terms: I think it's silly to always think that there is a motive to the memes most of them just want to make jokes that's what i have understood from talking with these people on reddit mainly. When they talk about 4chan/8chan they are talking about /pol/ which is not a alt-right page it's just a anti political correctness page. I occasionally browse pol and i never see a 'alt-right' thread but i see 'National socialist' threads quite often

Cuckservative, a portmanteau of "cuckold" and "conservative". Alright the cuckservative is a alt-right meme that i can accept

Triple parentheses or "echoes" to identify and target Jews online, which originated on the neo-Nazi podcast The Daily Shoah.[10][14][128][129] This one is mostly people just joking, it's unfair to say all of them are trying to 'express and advance its beliefs'. Many people use it as a joke to mock the alt-right by always blaming them when something goes wrong

Variations of the Pepe the Frog and "Emperor Trump" memes popular in alt-right circles, leading to references of "Nazi Frogs" in the media.[131][132] These variants of the Pepe the Frog meme attracted significant media attention after the meme was criticized in an article published on Hillary Clinton's campaign website.[133][134] No, Pepe the frog is not a symbol of the alt-right.

Satirical worship of the Ancient Egyptian deity Kek has become associated with alt-right politics, as well as satirical nationalism of the nonexistent nation of "Kekistan".[135][136][137] No no non no no no. Kekistan was created to mock the alt-right people in the alt-right hate kekistan because it's making fun of identity politics

"Remove kebab" as a euphemism for calls to kill or ethnically cleanse Muslims.[138][139][140][141] This one comes from the strategy game Europa universalis where the ottomans are always killing everybody, it's not a alt-right meme. Just go to https://www.reddit.com/r/eu4/ and see how many 'remove kebab' posts are posted each day

The use of Moon Man, a character based on Mac Tonight, to promote white separatism and race war.[142][129] I'm not familiar with these memes i will browse them and come back

The use of alt-right music such as Trumpwave and fashwave, which is a right-wing subgenre of vaporwave.[143] I'm not familiar with this either i will come back

The use of "Deus Vult!" and various other crusader iconography as a means of expressing Islamophobia.[129][144][145] no, people use this ironically and it's not even a alt-right meme it's just a meme.

Ironic support of the Black Egyptian hypothesis, often using stereotypical African-American vernacular such as "We wuz kangz n shieet."[146] Not a alt right meme

The use of the phrase "dindu nuffin," a bastardization of "Didn't do nothing," in reference to claims of innocence for African-American victims of police violence, especially about Eric Garner and Michael Brown.[147] not a alt right meme

Pinochet's and the Argentine junta's practice killing of leftists by throwing them off helicopters has been the subject of numerous alt-right internet memes that endorse the killings.[148] not a alt right meme

Stuff like this is difficult to source because it's mostly my own experience browsing memes, but i assure you it's more accurate then what buzzfeed or the nytimes reports about them because they simply don't understand them. However i will try so source all of this later — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack1234567891011121314151617 (talk • contribs) 09:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Your own experience is not necessarily accurate. FWIW, there are "two alt rights", the Alt-right and the alt-lite. It is confusing, including to me, but the more hardcore alt-right is much more explicitly racialized, and frankly, seems to have a larger range of memes, mostly emanating from chan culture. If you are not a literal racist, you may not be aware of this aspect. Granted, it is very difficult and awkward to write about "memes" on an encyclopedia when only relying on referenced sources, but this is our only option on Wikipedia - we can't just insert our original research.

Pepe has existed for such a long time i don't think it's fair to characterize 'him' as a symbol of the alt-right just because some of them use it. Also people who tweet out pepe as trump are not alt-right that should be obvious.

Misleading information
We should switch into "Opinion B" of the above discussion -- the "movement" is way too broad and loose to be classified as white nationalist, as many supporters of the "movement" reject the label. Or, at least, the article should make a distiction between the white nationalist part and the non-white nationalist "alt-lite". --Tiiliskivi (talk) 22:59, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

 * It seems, from all of the sources I have seen, that "alt-right" is now firmly associated with white nationalism/white supremacy. The label used for the broader "alt-right", which is essentially civic nationalist/ant-progressive/anti-globalism, is now "alt-lite". The Anti-Defamation league has also taken up this classification, as have figures on both sides of the alt-lite/alt-right divide (https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/from-alt-right-to-alt-lite-naming-the-hate) DoctorPaveleer (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Additionally misleading is the list of associations. For instance, "Members of the alt-right use websites like Alternative Right, Twitter, Breitbart, and Reddit to convey their message." implies, unfairly, that Twitter, Breitbart, and Reddit are somehow racist organizations. Can we add USPS to the list? How about AT&T? No. The answer is to eliminate sentences like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:26, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Incorporation of the "Alt-lite" concept
This article has in the past been subject to disputes over whether the alt-right ought to be defined as a white supremacist/white nationalist movement. I think it is clear at this point that the association is well documented; the article reflects this, and should stay this way.

However, upon having read dozens of sources on the topic, it appears to me that there is a widely recognized offshoot of the alt-right - the "alt-lite", or "alt-light", which rejects openly racist, racialist, and antisemitic views in favor of a certain brand of "civic nationalism."

Various media figures who were previously associated with the "alt-right" (perhaps under an even looser definition of alt-right than is currently used) are now seen as "alt-lite" by the | Anti-Defamation League, and, it seems, by many of figures involved with these movements themselves. There are multiple independent sources in the alt-lite article using and explaining this distinction.

Currently there is no mention of the "alt-lite" anywhere in this article. I think that this is quite a glaring omission, and has caused many complaints from confused users on this page. In my opinion, first of all, a brief mention should be given to this concept in the article's introduction, and after this a section titled "alt-lite" should be added (which would effectively merge the two articles).

I would like to hear any thoughts on this proposal. DoctorPaveleer (talk) 17:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Tbh this whole article should be deleted the biggest alt right youtube channels have like 30k subs.... It's such a tiny movement that it's not worth a entire section of Right-wing_politics Jack1234567891011121314151617 (talk) 18:01, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * There are hundreds of independent sources discussing this topic and acknowledging it as a significant phenomenon. At the time of your comment, there was an alt-right rally so big that it caused a state of emergency to be declared in Virginia. I think you are under-informed, or trolling. DoctorPaveleer  (talk) 15:23, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

 * It is difficult to separate the two topics completely, given there are multiple individuals who thread the line between the two. The issue is that Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, and most reliable sources say both that 1) Milo Yiannopoulos, Mike Cernovich, Alex Jones et al are alt-right (the 'alt-lite' term is barely used except within alt-right or 'alt-lite' circles); and 2) the alt-right is white nationalist. However, reliable sources overwhelmingly do not specifically identify the 'alt-lite' individuals as white nationalists. A fair compromise would be that the alt-right is is a far-right rejection of mainstream American conservatism, and then separately mention, perhaps in the following sentence, the fact that many publications have referred to it as white nationalist without stating definitively that it is a white nationalist movement.--Jay942942 (talk) 15:08, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Meme 2
So i wanted to redo this because last one was a mess but Sjö wont let me so i just made a new section instead

So the 'Use of memes' is unfair and written by someone who does not browse memes because if you did you would understand that these memes are not alt-right memes but just memes in general.

Cuckservative, a portmanteau of "cuckold" and "conservative".[127][128] the second source does not even mention the alt-right so it's false and the first one does not include a poll about percentage of people that use cuckservative so it's unfair to say that they all are alt-right

Jack1234567891011121314151617 (talk) 17:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't think it should be removed entirely right now. I might support that in the future, though.   It definitely needs to be reduced in size. Having to "include a poll about percentage of people who use this meme that are alt-right" is too high a standard, if a reliable source attributes it to the alt-right, and it is sufficiently notable overall, it can stay. Power~enwiki (talk) 18:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

 * While I agree that this section needs to be trimmed to just the more notable memes, it is clear that they are all "alt-right memes." Many of them incorporate overtly racist, anti-Semetic, and Islamaphobic imagery/slurs or have very clearly been adopted by members of the alt-right(Pepe/"Emporer Trump.") Wikipedia articles about social movements or memes do not require "a poll about percentage of people who use this meme that are alt-right," since these all have multiple citations already. I myself am "a person who browses memes," and I can clearly see that these are alt-right memes because 1. I have seen many of these memes produced and shared by self-proclaimed members of the alt right, and 2. they clearly espouse the hateful rhetoric characteristic of the movement. Anyway, I think this section should remain because memes are a big part of the alt-right's identity, but one Vice article shouldn't be the be-all end-all for which are notable enough for Wikipedia. Personally, I think it should retain Pepe/"Emperor Trump,' the triple parentheses, and Kek (with an addendum about the phrase's original meme origin (sigh). All the rest, while I am unsurprised to see that they originated with the alt-right, aren't as characteristic of the movement, as they create all sorts of racist drivel and Wikipedia certainly doesn't need to list all of them.

Alt-left term isn't exclusively used by the alt-right
The Section should reflect that. Truthsort (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Confusion caused by unclear definition of the term "Alt-right"
The term "alt-right" as well as the alt-right movement is pretty loosely defined, and means different things to different people. For example, quoting the article:

"The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism. White supremacist[1] Richard Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism, and did so according to the Associated Press to disguise overt racism, white supremacism, neo-fascism, and neo-Nazism"

"The Trump administration includes several figures who are associated with the alt-right, such as former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.[37] In 2016, Bannon described Breitbart as "the platform for the alt-right", with the goal of promoting the ideology.[38]"

The obvious conclusion from these two parts would be that Bannon is an outspoken white nationalist. After all, he runs a website of promoting the ideology, and the ideology "rejects mainstrema conservatism in favor of white nationalism."

Yet this is not what Bannon believes, or at the very least not what he claims to believe, as is easily shown by statements such as these.

As it stands right now, at the very least the introduction is severely flawed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Proposed minor edit for tone.
The first sentence of this article is that "The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people with far-right ideologies who reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism.", which is a greatly contentious claim which is denied by many on the alt-right. Would you all be okay with "The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely defined group of people with far-right ideologies who often reject mainstream conservatism in favor of white nationalism." being the new version of this line? While I agree that the alt-right has a well-documented racist undercurrent, stereotyping everyone as a white nationalist comes off a bit too strong.--Ilikerainandstorms (talk) 11:52, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * We don't edit with regard to how the feelings of a particular group are going to be hurt. Adding "often" is a version of WP:WEASEL, and I would not support such a change, primarily because reliable secondary sources describe the alt-right exactly as currently written. Primary sources are less relevant. Rockypedia (talk) 13:59, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Fair enough.--Ilikerainandstorms (talk) 11:19, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Policy aside, from a reader's perspective the word "loosely" already gives me an accurate sense that the people within the group may have differing ideologies and various levels of affiliation with others who identify as or are identified as alt-right. I think the current wording already addresses this concern adequately. Edaham (talk) 15:08, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * May we then change loosely-defined to loosely-defined and loosely-affiliated? I believe that doing so would help improve clarity, especially for non-native English speakers. Although I am fluent in English, I was still unable to catch that connotation from the usage of the word loosely-defined, and it is my personal opinion that such a connotation is also not readily apparent to people who, unlike me, grew up in primarily English-speaking countries. Loosely-defined, although it carries such a connotation, does not have such a denotation, and should then be used in conjunction with loosely-affiliated in the context of this article.--Ilikerainandstorms (talk) 11:19, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Misleading visual aids- Conservatism and Neo-Fascism
The fact that there are two sidebars in such close proximity to each other almost suggests that these two terms may mean the same thing, or that you cant have one without the other. Conservatism and neo-fascism are not the same thing. While both of these terms can be linked to the alt-right, there are many conservatives that do not believe in fascism or neo-fascism. Fascism can also encompass other issues such as an authoritative dictatorship and control of industry and commerce. The average conservative does not want a king, who suppress or oppresses people.Robert george lambert jr. (talk) 20:12, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Robert George lambert jr.

Angela Nagel
Shouldn't we be using her? and give a different insight. In the first link she says that some of her book has been superceded by changes "Significantly, the alt-lite and the entire broader milieu around the white nationalist alt-right proper have now distanced themselves permanently from the most volatile leaders of the Unite the Right in Charlottesville, and it seems likely that this crucial nexus of political affiliation is permanently sundered for the disaffected online legions of the alt-right." "the anonymous online trolling culture, the constant evasions and ironic styles, the hodge-podge of disparate groups united by the “anti-PC” crusade—is over and a new one has begun. The alt-right in the strict sense will now become more isolated, more focused and unambiguous—and perhaps more militant." Doug Weller talk 15:32, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Civ/Civilization III/Civilization Traits

Each civilization has two traits (except in scenarios, where this is usually but not always true). In the epic game, the civs have been carefully designed so that every possible combination of traits is held by at least one civ.

We cannot tell you what are the best or worst traits to have, because everybody is different. Some people may even like "weak" traits because they make the game interesting, or they feel they can really take advantages the trait does offer. There is also no consensus: some experts feel that Commercial is weakest, while others feel it is the strongest! Therefore, what traits are desirable to you must be decided yourself. What we can do, however, is help you decide.

Commercial
If you are constantly spending money to rush-build, and maybe you need to research just a tiny bit faster, this trait may be just what you need. While you will experience less corruption throughout the game, the real effects of the trait will not be pronounced until the middle-game, when you also have cities beyond size 6, which will have an extra commerce per turn. Your advantages will be most pronounced at the endgame, where such considerations are very often irrelevant.

Expansionist
In contrast to the Commercial trait, the Expansionist trait has its strongest benefits early in the game and virtually no benefits by the endgame. That means your advantage will not last and it is vital that it be played correctly, lest you waste one of your two traits. All civilizations need to be aggressive in the early game, and that goes double for you. But the rewards! You begin with a Scout unit (and the ability to build more), whose two-tile movement rate is a huge boon for the first few turns and helpful for many more. These scouts will likely stumble upon a good number of goodie huts, leading to your other advantage: you will never encounter goodie huts with barbarians. Not only do you not have to treat every goodie hut as though it were "loaded", but that means that the more desirable results, such as a new Settler or city, or a free tech, are more likely.

Industrious
The benefits of this trait will last you the entire game. Your workers (except enslaved workers) will work faster. You also build stuff faster: you get a free shield per turn in every city. Of course, you won't have as many shields knocked off as you would for, say, a temple if you were Religious. (If you're Scientific or Religious and Industrious, then you can really build!)

Militaristic
If you want to kick butt, you might like this trait. Buildings like barracks are cheaper, but you gotta build 'em to take advantage of 'em. Unit promotions occur more easily.

Religious
If you want to wage a culture war, you definitely want this. This gives you temples and other religious structures at half price, effectively meaning they will be constructed twice as fast and they can be rush-built sooner. It also effectively makes your citizens happier if, as you should, build Temples and Cathedrals sooner than you normally would. Anarchy is also guaranteed to only lasts 2 turns, regardless of empire size.

Scientific
A scientific civilization receives a free civilization advance when the civilization enters a new age, provided there exists an advance in the new age. The civilization advance that is received is the cheapest available tech, that is, the tech costing the least amount of scientific research. Buildings marked as scientific also cost half as many shields. In Civilization III: Conquests, a scientific civilization has a 5% chance of spawning Scientific Great Leaders when they are the first civilization to discover a new tech, as opposed to the 3% chance for non-scientific civilizations.

The scientific trait is generally useful with another trait that also gives cheaper buildings (militaristic or religious). Thus, in the epic game, Babylon (scientific and religious) and Germany (scientific and militaristic) are often good choices for players that wish to exploit as much of the trait as possible. In particular, Babylon is an ideal civilization for culture wars.

Conquests traits
Civilization III: Conquests introduces two new civilization traits. They are:

Agricultural
Cities will have +1 food. However, in Despotism this only occurs on cities sited directly on rivers. Therefore, agricultural civilizations highly value rivers and will invariably build on them when possible. This can be used by rival civilizations to predict expansion — it is usually wise to build on rivers anyway, but they will have much higher priority for agricultural civs.

Seafaring
Your civilization is more likely to start near the coast of an island or continent. All naval units get +1 movement. The capital also has a commerce bonus, which will likely keep you on par or better against the AI even on higher difficulty settings below Demigod.

User:Sacramento king Solomon T

King Solomon was born in San Francisco California, in 1984,to parents Lawrence Temple sir and Betty Temple. In 1986,King Solomon's mother moved him to Sacramento California. He was two years old. Around seven or eight, he started getting into rap music. He was inspired by his middle-aged brother Prime Minister, who also is a rapper. Prime Minister was the first one to introduce King Solomon to Too Short and Tupac's music. After that, King Solomon became a fan of those two artists. They, as well as his brother, taught him how to express himself in his rap songs. Writing raps became an outlet for him. When King Solomon's father passed in 1998,he started running the streets and recording his rap songs in the studio. In his music, he talked about the struggles of the streets. In 2004,he went to jail. During his trial, the D.A. used his rap songs and his rap video against him. He ended up going to prison. While in prison,he continues to put out music.
