Hello, as told below, I have more than just this one account.

However, I am not active anymore. Some accounts are actually globally locked (because of edit wars) meaning I cannot even login myself in any wikimedia website. Some account is only partially banned. Some accounts are not even registered on this website (commons.wikimedia.org). Some accounts were used only for a few hours before being banned. All accounts were registered and used between March and August in 2021.

Files uploaded in total: few (about 10).

Since registering Football World Champions (on May 26th 2021), I had a friend too contribute with some of these accounts.


History

[edit]

This account (Brexit Things) was registered on July 6th 2021, following the July edit war at wikipedia page Western world. It was soon banned with no expiration time (indefinitely) from en.wikipedia.org and en.wiktionary.org too.

Certainly the edit war formed by the football hype about the Euro Cup final match, due to be held on July 11th. Indeed the turning point was the addition on July 1st of a very strange map in the introduction of the page, a map of the Western world based on the English language, as well as on the recent withdrawal of the UK from the EU (the Brexit).

What made me edit the page ending then in an edit war, a few days later (on July 5th), was that such a weird map was not reverted by the admins, usually very strict with that page especially its introduction. As a EU migrant in the UK, but unaware of the football final match to be held I followed through the editing, adding maps about European languages (a topic I am genuinely interested in). On July 10th I finally learned about the football match (to be held in just 24hrs), thus understanding what was going on, so turned away to Wiktionary (read section below).

To Set Up means To Ready For Use

[edit]

English Wiktionary

[edit]

Turning to Wiktionary I spotted this entry, specifically it's Latin definition in which a funny (I still think it is a joke) example is given to translate this Latin verb. The first example given was translated in 2013 as "set up in public". And never corrected. I opened a discussion about this at the Wiktionary Tea room, a place of discussion, but I was censored as trolling and banned from editing any further.

How can it be that Ancient Latins thought of punishing women as in "setting them up on sex work"? Verb "set up" is understood as "ready for use". So how is that? Shouldn't it be something like "I station (in an upright position) in public", or "I settle in public", or even removed as an example, because it really is not a good example. Also, "in public" could better be translated as "in the open".

Another weird entry I then spotted soon after, was this entry, in which it roughly declines the English etymology as having "formed by analogy with Grexit". I asked myself whether if the UK-EU withdrawal had happened before Grexit instead of successively, would it'd been named Brexit anyway? I answered to myself "more likely than not". I only briefly pointed at this entry at my talk page there however.
