Embroidery of Magna Carta wikipedia article

Magna Carta (An Embroidery) is a 2015 work by English installation artist Cornelia Parker. The artwork is an embroidered representation of the complete text and images of an online encyclopedia article for Magna Carta, as it appeared in English Wikipedia on 15 June 2014, the 799th anniversary of the document. The hand-stitched embroidery is 1.5 metres (5') wide and nearly 13 metres (42') long. The embroidery formed part of an exhibition celebrating the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta on 15 June 2015. It was displayed in the Entrance Hall of the British Library from 15 May to 24 July 2015.

Map accompanying the novel Mundus Alter et Idem

Mundus Alter et Idem (Another World and Yet the Same) is a satirical dystopian novel written by the English writer and bishop Joseph Hall around 1605. In the novel, the narrator takes a voyage in the ship Fantasia through the southern seas, visiting the lands of Crapulia, Viraginia, Moronia, and Lavernia (populated by gluttons, nags, fools, and thieves, respectively). These locations feature on this map, which accompanies the novel.

Sry for judging you

Trouted

[edit]

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: asking someone to test the "trout this user" feature on Discord. :D Happy editing, Complex/Rational 13:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many-worlds interpretation

The many-worlds interpretation (MWI) is a philosophical position about how the mathematics used in quantum mechanics relates to physical reality. It asserts that the universal wavefunction is objectively real, and that there is no wave function collapse. This implies that all possible outcomes of quantum measurements are physically realized in some "world" or universe. In contrast to some other interpretations of quantum mechanics, the evolution of reality as a whole in MWI is rigidly deterministic  and local. Many-worlds is also called the relative state formulation or the Everett interpretation, after physicist Hugh Everett, who first proposed it in 1957. Bryce DeWitt popularized the formulation and named it many-worlds in the 1970s. According to this interpretation: in the "Schrödinger's cat" paradox, every quantum event is a branch point; the cat is both alive and dead, even before the box is opened, but the "alive" and "dead" cats are in different branches of the multiverse, both of which are equally real, but which do not interact with each other

Revert on Palestine

[edit]

Edit warring notice removed by PadFoot (talk).

Please see the RM discussion on Talk:Palestine (disambiguation)#Requested move 29 June 2024 and do not edit war any further. The redirect target is per editorial consensus and must not be changed without a new consensus. PadFoot (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not engage in an edit war. I performed a single revert before you left this notice. I tried looking for the discussion in the talk page of State of Palestine, however I could not find it. It had not occurred to me that the discussion happened on a different talk page. Please recant your accusation of edit warring. ―Howard🌽33 13:07, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And please remember that an edit war requires an editor repeatedly change content before you place this notice on another's talk page. ―Howard🌽33 13:13, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the standard 3RR warning, but rather the 1RR warning (meaning you cannot revert more than once in 24 hours), which is enforced on some Wikiprojects by the arbitration committee. I'm still removing the notice though. PadFoot (talk) 14:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I apologize for not consulting the relevant talk page. ―Howard🌽33 14:30, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change Canada

[edit]

In this map, can you color Canada as "Support for the ICJ's forthcoming decision in South Africa v. Israel". Canada's position is:

  • "In fact, their statements carefully avoided either rejecting or endorsing South Africa's case against Israel."
  • "Canada will abide by all rulings arising from South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), officials at Global Affairs Canada have told CBC News."

For the hard work put in to the List of national flags of sovereign states, an article that perhaps should have existed earlier but clearly took a lot of work to define the scope of and comprehensively research to achieve a wonderful result. MSG17 (talk) 16:04, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
