I'm pretty sure this is yet another sock of BKFIP. Considering you've been a critic of AARoads Wiki, I wouldn't put it past them to troll you that way. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 01:15, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- Very likely, but who knows with these things when there are so few edits and so many idiots (and very smart dogs) on the internet. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 05:28, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- So is that why you're tagging multiple road-related articles as failing GNG, even road lists? -------User:DanTD (talk) 04:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DanTD: Nothing at all to do with it. I was tagging road-related articles before the harassment started, lists must also meet notability requirements. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

New legal article[edit]
I have finished enough of Consciousness of guilt (legal) to go public with it. Further development and improvement will be appreciated. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know, I will keep it in mind for future work. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
You were mentioned in a Dot Dot News opinion article back in 2022[edit]
In case you weren't aware of it, I found an opinion article from 2022 from the Hong Kong news outlet Dot Dot News that mentioned you: https://english.dotdotnews.com/a/202202/23/AP6215e7f6e4b0482c7bbc32b7.html
| “ | There are of course, other users who are part of this manipulative editing circle. Another, who goes back the name "Horsed Eyed Jack" or now known as "Horse Eye's back" appears to be a supporter of Taiwan, and similarly engages in extremely aggressive behaviour towards editors he deems to defy his agenda. What both users have in common is their ability to wage war using the Wikipedia rules and cement themselves as the "status quo". In June 2021, the site as a whole then (at Horse Eye's lobbying) implemented a "general sanctions regime" of which allows administrators to more readily ban people who attempt to challenge the Xinjiang narrative as presented. | ” |

- @Félix An: Don't know if I'd seen that one specifically but yes in general was aware of Fowdy, they're ex-wiki with an axe to grind... Banned for doxxing I believe. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Citrus taiwanica[edit]
It looks like Citrus taiwanica is a synonym of Citrus × aurantium, the bitter orange. Usually I or another editor would simply redirect the article to the accepted name without comment. But Citrus is a popular genus so I thought I would ask you first; is there any reason to believe the Citrus × taiwanica is a legit taxon? Abductive (reasoning) 05:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Abductive: That seems backwards... You never presented any reason to believe that its a synonym. Citrus is in general very contentious when it comes to synonyms, you will for example find people who say that Citrus x paradisi and Citrus × aurantium are synonyms... Same with Citrus × sinensis and Citrus × aurantium, yet we have separate pages for Bitter Orange, Sweet Orange, and Grapefruit. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- The consensus at WP:Wikiproject Plants is to use the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew website Plants of the World Online to determine if a flowering plant taxon is accepted. The POWO entry for Citrus taiwanica says it's a synonym for Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium. Abductive (reasoning) 23:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Such a consensus has absolutely no bearing on notability etc. Plants is but one of the relevant wikiprojects, it has no more say than any of the others. Thats what I think you're missing... Even if its a variety its a notable one, so it gets a page. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 00:02, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Going forward it would be best if you checked POWO if a taxon is accepted before creating an article, and to refrain from creating it if is not. Abductive (reasoning) 01:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Why? Whether a taxon is accepted or not has no bearing on notability unless there is something I don't understand. The most we would be talking about here is creating the page under a different name with slightly different formatting. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 03:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, so move it to Citrus × aurantium f. aurantium? Abductive (reasoning) 05:28, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- I would have no objection at all to such a move. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- A discussion on this has arisen at WT:WikiProject Plants#POWO lumping Citrus. Abductive (reasoning) 20:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Your thoughts[edit]
Hi @Horse Eye's Back I can see you've done a lot of work on the Australia-China relations article and would like your thoughts. There's a batch of articles from the last three or four years that indicate Australia has been experiencing a coercion campaign; and I think there's enough of them to create a separate article on the topic. Anyway, I've put that suggestion on the talk page and will let the other major contributors know too. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 09:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, have left a brief comment. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:06, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 16:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
