1: Good question. If the current position is that "scribble" and "squiggle" are interchangeable, then I see no reason not to rename it for consistency's sake.
2: I've been using this site for years, so yes, I've seen plenty of them. I also agree with the others that the distinction doesn't really matter all that much. And I'm a native English speaker.
3: 30 posts is only about 0.42% of 7103. Your sample size is far too small to get any meaningful information from the posts as a whole.
4: Yes. Isn't that your motivation for making these topics in the first place? Because you disagreed with this?
5: If you believe that, then submit a BUR to undeprecate it.
6: You were the one to start getting "hostile" in the other thread when others were merely criticizing your ideas. These mini-rants were really not necessary.
That said, regarding the help page (help:bulk_update_requests), it isn't always easy to find the correct page with the information you need. Sometimes you need to search for titles in the wiki to find it and hope you got the title close enough to where you'll actually get the page you're looking for. So before anyone criticizes others of not reading the guide, they should consider how easy it is to access the page first. Not everything on there is as intuitive as it could be.
1: So we agree on this. If any changes being discussed go through, I think it should at least be this one.
2: When have you ever hear a scribble described as a squiggle? I’ve heard the term “squiggly line” used, but that’s a very specific thing. Squiggles are wavy or circular lines, very little chaos. Scribbles are completely random, uncontrolled, and very chaotic. This word also refers very specifically to children’s doodles, like with crayons. You’d never call a children’s doodles “squiggles”, virtually everyone calls them scribbles.
3: Using statistics, this calculates to the average % of mistagged posts being 86.67% with a 95% confidence interval of roughly 75% to 99%. In other words, only 30 images are needed to determine that there’s only a 5% chance the actual percentage of mistagged posts is under 75%. If you want to try being smart, consider using math instead of your intuition. If you disagree with my proof, you can go and look at more images and honestly count them yourself.
4: My motivation was to point out that there are inconsistincies, which led to me missing these tags when I was using the ai search to look for bar censor images to correct false-negatives.
5: I think this is what needs to happen. This whole fuckfest is due to some smoothbrained activities that had to have occured for the word scribble to be replaced with squiggle - like wtaf happened there?!
6: I was asking people to explain why they didn’t read my whole post before downvoting, or why they didn’t leave a comment explaining why they downvoted. What does this whole forum even exist for, if not to discuss topics? Why are approvers downvoting my post, and then don’t explain shit to me, when I’d just posted my FIRST post? If they don’t help new contributers understand how tf to use this thing, who will? Buddha? Jesus of Nazareth? Diddy?
