Just letting you know that disruption on that article

"Interviews conducted with law enforcement officials, reproductive health care providers, women's rights activists and policy analysts in the summer and fall of 1996 found advocates of tougher enforcement of statutory rape laws suggesting that such an approach is a worthwhile strategy to consider, even if it turns out to have little or no effect on adolescent pregnancy and birth rates." Is this what you're referring to? This doesn't actually indicate their opinion on whether minors are "incapable of meaningfully consenting to sexual activity until they reach a certain age". It indicates their opinion on enforcing statutory rape laws. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:9580:3FF0:F41D:1C21:F54C:87C7 ( talk) 02:47, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

How would I know using a frog image after asking my questions on Wikipedia Talk would get anyone upset? I would never think that would be judged inappropriate but know I know. While you explained that I should not do use frog images in the Talk sections, you did not answer any of the questions I asked on those Talk pages today. I used the frog image on 3 Talk pages I think, that were related to Kekistan, to show that I am serious and not joking. I get accused of being insincere but I am not. Do you know the answers to any of the questions I asked? Why isn’t Kekistan listed as a micronation? How is a conceptual country different from a fictional country? I am trying to be helpful and I am learning Wiki as I go. Obviously Wiki admin can bounce me for rule violations but I would not be breaking rules intentionally. The whole reason I used the Talk sections was to stay out of trouble. And to learn how to go about making proper edits so I do not get in trouble from admin. If there is a link to a Wiki Rules page that explains how I broke a rule by adding a frog image, then I would much appreciate having the link. I would like to learn all the rules for the Talk sections. I am learning the rules for the Article sections. I figured the Talk sections were for asking questions when you did not know the rules and protocols. DErnestWachter ( talk) 02:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi there Acroterion,
A certain editor has been making repeated problematic edits over at MOS:CHINA, and a few of us have had to regularly revert him. I recently learned that this is part of an ongoing saga, and that the editor in question ( Geographyinitiative ( talk · contribs)) is recently returned from a block you gave him for this very behavior, or at least something closely related to it. He has deleted this material from his talk page, and so I only learned about this when another editor mentioned it in passing.
Here is a list of said edits from the past 36 hours:
Each of these was reverted (the last one was self-reverted at another's urging). A small section on the talk page ( Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/China and Chinese-related articles#Historical and alternative transliterations) clearly showed no consensus for the changes. We'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at the situation. I can post this elsewhere if required. Thanks in advance! White Whirlwind 咨 21:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

The only clear and logical reason to deny a person's identity or to proclaim they are "partly" indigenous when they have clearly identified as being Indigenous Australian is racism. It's also not a matter of what part of you is indigenous or how much. It also promotes the Barack Obama argument... Which part of me is "black" is it my left or right arm? There is no qualifier to indigeneity in Australia other than being accepted as such by your community and self-identifying. Ash Barty has done both. She is a noted indigenous community member, removing these details clearly has severely racialised problems that are common among right-leaning people in Australia and elsewhere in the world. There is also no need for an RFC over commonly accepted terms either. There is no dispute that the correct term for describing her in Australia is Indigenous Australian from any widely accepted perspective. -- 124.181.82.220 ( talk) 15:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

That's a beautiful image on your page. I love that place. Some years ago I visited, and we had a most strange experience on a long, narrow, dead-end road: coming out, right at sunset, a herd of bison had blocked the road so I could not get by. They wouldn't move. Got out, said -- hey you. Get up. They were most unimpressed. I backed up and drove at them fast, hitting the brakes, multiple times. Took more than an hour, but eventually the two or three lying on the roadway got up and ambled away. We laughed, but the buffalo may have laughed more. Antandrus (talk) 01:32, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

I objected to the word "allegedly" to qualify the statement that the earliest blood libels had no mention of Jews using blood to bake Passover matzos. In the case of William of Norwich this is not disputed. See details in 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia. RPSM ( talk) 17:35, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest |
![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

I understand your efforts to moderate the talk page at the WTC collapse, so I thought I'd just offer a suggestion. I think it looks strange that we all give our opinions on the request and then remove the conversation from the talk page. If we're going to delete any mention of controlled demolition from the talk page, I think we need to establish that as a consensus, and then do it in a polite manner when it happens. That is: we delete it, and explain our actions on the user's talk page. I think engaging with his arguments and calling his ideas "claptrap" (I know that wasn't you) during this process is needlessly combative, and is only likely to prolong the conflict. The consensus against mentioning controlled demolition or any other conspiracy in the article is already in place and being observed by everyone. I think we can explain it without insulting anyone. The idea of collapsing any suggestion like this seems pretty good to me. But the message we put in the box could be a bit more helpful.-- Thomas B ( talk) 07:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Acroterion,
Thanks for your message.
I have cited three scientific articles, two from peer-reviewed journals (one article uses data from the US EPA), and one from a scientific magazine Europhysics News) which was also cited to me by a Wikipedia editor to dispute the article I cited.
Can you please advise how these do not fall within the Wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources, because my understanding is that they do.
If you say any source which disagrees with the Wikipedia article is by definition not reliable then you are stuck in a logical loop which would prevent the article from ever being updated in light of advancing knowledge.
Please advise
Dr Realidad ( talk) 06:12, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
On December 13, 2007 you and Deepfriedokra each speedy deleted the article on Carolyn Bothwell Doran. I'd never heard of her, until yesterday, and I had some questions. I had questions about what how she came to be hired, what fallout there was from her hiring, and, well, whether she measured up to our inclusion standards.
I can't remember ever hearing of administrators emailing anyone the source to any deleted article that could be described as a genuine attack page. I am going to request you answer a couple of questions about the article, and I am going to ask you to cut the references it used, and paste them into an email to me.
In September 2005 I had my first experience with AFD, and with wikipedia administrators. I was so inexperienced I did not know the wikipedia had administrators, or an AFD process. Starting with Omar Khadr and Murat Kurnaz I had started a handful of articles on individuals held in Guantanamo, and, on a single day, four of them were nominated for deletion.
It was very confusing. One laconic nominator's nomination was two letters long "NN", and he couldn't be bothered to return to explain what that meant.
Another individual, an administrator, asserted that the wikipedia should not cover ANY topic related to Guantanamo, because Guantanamo was an "inherently biased topic", and could only serve as a venue for "POV America-bashing".
I genuinely thought she mis-spoke, and couldn't possibly mean what she said. I suggested that topics were neither biased or non-biased, that it was how we covered topics that could be biased or non-biased. I suggested that there weren't any topics we couldn't cover using a neutral voice if good faith contributors made enough effort.
I still feel that way. The only thing I would add would be "provided we have good references", because September 2005 predates our current system of references.
Normally, I'd assume that, provided there were sufficient good references, there would be no reason why a neutrally written article couldn't be written about Ms Doran. Are either of you aware of a reason why a neutrally written article couldn't be written about Ms. Doran? Geo Swan ( talk) 14:23, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
People at the WMF were very embarrassed that a felon held a position of trust at what was then a million dollar organization. Jimbo Wales said that, once an audit was completed, if it showed a shortfall, he would pay for the shortfall, from his own pocket. Well, the critics said that no audit results were made public.
No audit will be adequate, or even meaningful, if proper financial records aren't being maintained.
Cohen is a buddhist, and so very forgiving, he did not want to sue her. He could live out the rest of his life on a pittance. But, his lawyers informed him, he was not just broke, she had incurred substantial debt, in his name. So, if he didn't sue her, his creditors would think he was in cahoots with her, and sue him. So, he did sue her, and she turned out to be completely broke herself. So, he had to go on a final concert tour, in is 70s, after hanging up his guitar decades ago.
The comparison I am drawing here is between Cohen and Mr Wales. Mr Cohen did not have the option of forgiving his embezzler, because of his creditors. Because the WMF is a public institution I don't think forgiveness should have been a choice Mr Wales thought was open to him. If the audit wasn't made public out of concern for Ms Doran, then I think that was questionable. The WMF is not a family business. Members of the public made donations. Volunteers, like me, contributed thousands of our hours of time. I think we were entitled to see the audit, even if it was embarrassing.

The unrecognized persistence of vandal edits is one of the reasons I think (IP) vandalism it is so much more important than the common perception. Okay, sneaky vandalism. But then restored once twice thrice four times in 3+ weeks. (That last restore was yours) When will the rusting of articles become understood? As it is, I seldom get away from my watchlist, and never stop being nervous. Shenme ( talk) 04:11, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Acroterion. My name is MrThunderbolt1000T. I'm here making a request because I honestly don't know where else I could bring this issue.
The issue is with a user, Snooganssnoogans. Snoogans has continually engaged in edit warring with other users, has reverted my edits on multiple articles, sometimes without merit, and has so reverted the edits of another user ( Apeholder) when they restored my edit and pointed out Soogans's hypocrisy. Snoogans then made a personal attack on this user's talk page.
Now, I'm not aware if saying this would constitute a violation of the good faith rule, but I believe Snoogans has been watching my contributions just to revert my edits on any politically-related articles, and I believe he may be biased, according to his prior conduct. I can't say whether the aforementioned is true for sure, but I'm honestly distressed by his interference with my attempts to improve Wikipedia.
If you could please take a look, I'd appreciate it. I'm sorry if bringing this to you is unnecessary because there's a help desk or some other resource to bring this to. If so, I would be 100% open to guidance on that. I would still like your assistance, though. Thank you very much, and have a great day (or night).-- MrThunderbolt1000T ( talk) 04:21, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Take it to ANI where there are more eyes. It's 11:30 here and I'm not going to take admin action when I should be asleep. Acroterion (talk) 04:39, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
I initially posted this to Snoogan's talk page rather than here as I intended. I've reverted the Snoogan talk page edit. The summary Snoogan's has added is problematic since it claims a causal relationship vs a correlation. It is unlikely the any cited study makes that claim. I'm not going to claim all of Snoogan's edits were wrong but it's problematic that so many back and forth edits were made with no talk page discussion. I do think Snoogan has a long pattern of problematic editing. No one case crosses the line but on the whole they are of questionable benefit to Wikipedia.

Greetings, this is Stewart Rhodes, the Founder of Oath Keepers. The opening line of the Wikipedia entry on Oath Keepers makes several erroneous statements, but the most egregious is the false assertion that Oath Keepers is "associated with the white supremacy ... movement[s]"
"Oath Keepers is an anti-government[1][2][3][4][6] American far-right[5] organization associated with the white supremacy and militia movements.[7][8]"
The article that citation 7 links to doesn't even assert that Oath Keepers is associated with the white supremacy movement.
That article merely describes us as white (even though we have black and Hispanic members and leaders, such as Greg McWhirter, who is a current serving sheriff deputy who is on our national Board of Directors). Here is what the article says:
"Oath Keepers: Who are white militia at Ferguson protests and why are they allowed to carry guns? At least three white members of the group were seen carrying assault rifles among protesters during demonstrations overnight. A group of white men armed with assault rifles have been filmed “patrolling” the streets of Ferguson during a fourth night of protests marking the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death."
The article doesn't assert that we are a white supremacist group, or associated with the white supremacy movement. And yet it is being cited as a reference for the entry describing Oath Keepers as "associated with the white supremacy ... movements."
That needs to be corrected ASAP. This is very damaging as well as false. We are overtly, strongly anti-racist, and do not allow anyone to be a member who discriminates against anyone for their race. Can you help get that edit done? I can be reached at <redacted>
Thank you very much!

I have been trying to remove a false bit of information from the Flight 11 article; the supposed myth that one of the pilots pressed the radio so that controllers could hear Atta’s voice. Unfortunately, I was the one who put it on this article all those years ago, as I wanted to keep the myth of some of the heroism of 9/11, especially the flight crew. Flight 11’s pilot’s didn’t keep an open mic so that the hijacker’s voice could be heard. From what I have gathered, that was just early news articles misinterpreting why hijacker pilot Atta mistakenly transmitted to ATC when telling the passengers to stay in their seats. I’m not impeaching or downplaying the bravery of the Flight 11 crew, but that doesn’t seems to have been what happened. Regardless, I’m sure the pilots tried to fight back, but it would have been over quickly. We never know if they were killed or incapacitated, but we hope it was over quick. These sources must be treated with a great deal of caution and we should instead rely on primary sources of information as often as we possibly can. If this cautionary advice is not acted upon, it is quite possible for well-meaning researchers to expend a great deal of time and energy discussing the fine points of historical events that never occurred in the first place.
Hi! Can I request the removal of the protection of 2b2t as the sources in the draft Draft:2b2t clearly indicate a WP:GNG pass. You have protected the page and this doesn't fall to A7 anymore, so it can be properly accepted in AfC. Regards, Jovanmilic97 ( talk) 15:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

This is my first attempt to update a Wikipedia page. I am editor in chief of the standard scholarly edition of James Fenimore Cooper, and am working closely with Wayne Franklin, who in 2017 finished the two volume biography of Cooper.
some of my edits are being rejected, with no reasons given, and by an anonymous person. They are accurate; that cannot be the issue. Please tell me what i need to do to update the site correctly. Doubtless I have format issues as the site is new to me.
If you don't want the leading scholars to do this work, well, we have other projects too.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2019).
Interface administrator changes
will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.
The “admins” or whomever is undoing all edits to the page are ignoring cited changes to the wildly incorrect page that has 20+ year old information and uses “sources” like Forbes.com as legitimate factual points of reference. This violates Wikipedias own guidelines As they are taking personal opinions and displaying them as factual evidence and actively ignoring, discouraging and hiding modern factual and empirical changes based on newly found research. These page administrators or editors or whoever has the ability or power to ban or grossly remove edits are those which give Wikipedia a bad name and are why It is never acceptable to cite Wikipedia in any medical journal. In my several decade experience as a physician it is disheartening to see someone who is clearly uneducated on the topic but yet are in a position of power to spread misinformation and discredit any sort of validity Wikipedia tries to continuously establish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1007:B106:50A:B88E:2769:C850:ECBC ( talk) 04:09, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

How come NONE of the members in the list have sources (Like Mélenchon being here despite being not even a member of the french green party) yet Greta Thunberg, an ecologist militant (do you want source on that ?) that advocate for "After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it. We need to dismantle them all." is NOT an eco-socialist ?

"RE: Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Trump–Ukraine scandal, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 13:07, 10 December 2019 (UTC)"
This article is ENTIRELY written in a BIAS narrative on the assumption of guilt against NON PROVEN accusations thus VIOLATES the NON BIAS "NEUTRAL" INTENT OF WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. My last edits changed some of the accusative wording to be NON BIAS such as adding "allegedly" in sentences that say "did" or "did not" in accordance with the NON BIAS and NEUTRAL INTENT OF WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. This article cites known and proven BIAS media sources, eg. CNN of which it is common knowledge and FACT that this media outlet is entirely the bias "mouthpiece" of the Democratic Party and the article is written entirely from the BIAS of the Democratic Party. This is like asking the Nazis to write a "neutral" or "non bias" article on the Jews. I am sadly forced into having to interpret you accusation of "disruptive editing" to be an effort on your part to OBSTRUCT genuine NON BIAS editing and therefore consciously further the BIAS of this article and thus VIOLATE WIKIPEDIA'S RULES OF NEUTRALITY. My edits were in NO WAY "disruptive editing." I have been editing Wikipedia articles successfully for MANY YEARS. Do I need to escalate this?

Hello. Recently you have blocked User:Realsales23 as a promotion-only account. Now, the user User:Fixphone23 has appeared. I suspect they are the same person because of related-ish usernames and account purposes and the following filter log record, where one of them seemingly accidentally used the old user's user page instead of the new one: Special:AbuseLog/25582717. Can you confirm if the text added by User:Realsales23 to their user talk page is the same as the text added by User:Fixphone23? If so, does this imply they are the same person?

"Interviews conducted with law enforcement officials, reproductive health care providers, women's rights activists and policy analysts in the summer and fall of 1996 found advocates of tougher enforcement of statutory rape laws suggesting that such an approach is a worthwhile strategy to consider, even if it turns out to have little or no effect on adolescent pregnancy and birth rates." Is this what you're referring to? This doesn't actually indicate their opinion on whether minors are "incapable of meaningfully consenting to sexual activity until they reach a certain age".

How would I know using a frog image after asking my questions on Wikipedia Talk would get anyone upset? I would never think that would be judged inappropriate but know I know. While you explained that I should not do use frog images in the Talk sections, you did not answer any of the questions I asked on those Talk pages today. I used the frog image on 3 Talk pages I think, that were related to Kekistan, to show that I am serious and not joking. I get accused of being insincere but I am not. Do you know the answers to any of the questions I asked? Why isn’t Kekistan listed as a micronation? How is a conceptual country different from a fictional country? I am trying to be helpful and I am learning Wiki as I go. Obviously Wiki admin can bounce me for rule violations but I would not be breaking rules intentionally. The whole reason I used the Talk sections was to stay out of trouble. And to learn how to go about making proper edits so I do not get in trouble from admin.

Hi there Acroterion,
A certain editor has been making repeated problematic edits over at MOS:CHINA, and a few of us have had to regularly revert him. I recently learned that this is part of an ongoing saga, and that the editor in question ( Geographyinitiative ( talk · contribs)) is recently returned from a block you gave him for this very behavior, or at least something closely related to it. He has deleted this material from his talk page, and so I only learned about this when another editor mentioned it in passing.
Here is a list of said edits from the past 36 hours:
Each of these was reverted (the last one was self-reverted at another's urging). A small section on the talk page ( Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/China and Chinese-related articles#Historical and alternative transliterations) clearly showed no consensus for the changes. We'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at the situation. I can post this elsewhere if required. Thanks in advance! White Whirlwind 咨 21:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

The only clear and logical reason to deny a person's identity or to proclaim they are "partly" indigenous when they have clearly identified as being Indigenous Australian is racism. It's also not a matter of what part of you is indigenous or how much. It also promotes the Barack Obama argument... Which part of me is "black" is it my left or right arm? There is no qualifier to indigeneity in Australia other than being accepted as such by your community and self-identifying. Ash Barty has done both. She is a noted indigenous community member, removing these details clearly has severely racialised problems that are common among right-leaning people in Australia and elsewhere in the world. There is also no need for an RFC over commonly accepted terms either. There is no dispute that the correct term for describing her in Australia is Indigenous Australian from any widely accepted perspective. -- 124.181.82.220 ( talk) 15:13, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

That's a beautiful image on your page. I love that place. Some years ago I visited, and we had a most strange experience on a long, narrow, dead-end road: coming out, right at sunset, a herd of bison had blocked the road so I could not get by. They wouldn't move. Got out, said -- hey you. Get up. They were most unimpressed. I backed up and drove at them fast, hitting the brakes, multiple times. Took more than an hour, but eventually the two or three lying on the roadway got up and ambled away. We laughed, but the buffalo may have laughed more. Antandrus (talk) 01:32, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest |
![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

I understand your efforts to moderate the talk page at the WTC collapse, so I thought I'd just offer a suggestion. I think it looks strange that we all give our opinions on the request and then remove the conversation from the talk page. If we're going to delete any mention of controlled demolition from the talk page, I think we need to establish that as a consensus, and then do it in a polite manner when it happens. That is: we delete it, and explain our actions on the user's talk page. I think engaging with his arguments and calling his ideas "claptrap" (I know that wasn't you) during this process is needlessly combative, and is only likely to prolong the conflict. The consensus against mentioning controlled demolition or any other conspiracy in the article is already in place and being observed by everyone. I think we can explain it without insulting anyone. The idea of collapsing any suggestion like this seems pretty good to me. But the message we put in the box could be a bit more helpful.-- Thomas B ( talk) 07:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Acroterion,
Thanks for your message.
I have cited three scientific articles, two from peer-reviewed journals (one article uses data from the US EPA), and one from a scientific magazine Europhysics News) which was also cited to me by a Wikipedia editor to dispute the article I cited.
Can you please advise how these do not fall within the Wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources, because my understanding is that they do.
If you say any source which disagrees with the Wikipedia article is by definition not reliable then you are stuck in a logical loop which would prevent the article from ever being updated in light of advancing knowledge.
Please advise
Dr Realidad ( talk) 06:12, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
On December 13, 2007 you and Deepfriedokra each speedy deleted the article on Carolyn Bothwell Doran. I'd never heard of her, until yesterday, and I had some questions. I had questions about what how she came to be hired, what fallout there was from her hiring, and, well, whether she measured up to our inclusion standards.
I can't remember ever hearing of administrators emailing anyone the source to any deleted article that could be described as a genuine attack page. I am going to request you answer a couple of questions about the article, and I am going to ask you to cut the references it used, and paste them into an email to me.
In September 2005 I had my first experience with AFD, and with wikipedia administrators. I was so inexperienced I did not know the wikipedia had administrators, or an AFD process. Starting with Omar Khadr and Murat Kurnaz I had started a handful of articles on individuals held in Guantanamo, and, on a single day, four of them were nominated for deletion.
It was very confusing. One laconic nominator's nomination was two letters long "NN", and he couldn't be bothered to return to explain what that meant.
Another individual, an administrator, asserted that the wikipedia should not cover ANY topic related to Guantanamo, because Guantanamo was an "inherently biased topic", and could only serve as a venue for "POV America-bashing".
I genuinely thought she mis-spoke, and couldn't possibly mean what she said. I suggested that topics were neither biased or non-biased, that it was how we covered topics that could be biased or non-biased. I suggested that there weren't any topics we couldn't cover using a neutral voice if good faith contributors made enough effort.
I still feel that way. The only thing I would add would be "provided we have good references", because September 2005 predates our current system of references.
Normally, I'd assume that, provided there were sufficient good references, there would be no reason why a neutrally written article couldn't be written about Ms Doran. Are either of you aware of a reason why a neutrally written article couldn't be written about Ms. Doran? Geo Swan ( talk) 14:23, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
People at the WMF were very embarrassed that a felon held a position of trust at what was then a million dollar organization. Jimbo Wales said that, once an audit was completed, if it showed a shortfall, he would pay for the shortfall, from his own pocket. Well, the critics said that no audit results were made public.
No audit will be adequate, or even meaningful, if proper financial records aren't being maintained.
Cohen is a buddhist, and so very forgiving, he did not want to sue her. He could live out the rest of his life on a pittance. But, his lawyers informed him, he was not just broke, she had incurred substantial debt, in his name. So, if he didn't sue her, his creditors would think he was in cahoots with her, and sue him. So, he did sue her, and she turned out to be completely broke herself. So, he had to go on a final concert tour, in is 70s, after hanging up his guitar decades ago.
The comparison I am drawing here is between Cohen and Mr Wales. Mr Cohen did not have the option of forgiving his embezzler, because of his creditors. Because the WMF is a public institution I don't think forgiveness should have been a choice Mr Wales thought was open to him. If the audit wasn't made public out of concern for Ms Doran, then I think that was questionable. The WMF is not a family business. Members of the public made donations. Volunteers, like me, contributed thousands of our hours of time. I think we were entitled to see the audit, even if it was embarrassing.

The unrecognized persistence of vandal edits is one of the reasons I think (IP) vandalism it is so much more important than the common perception. Okay, sneaky vandalism.

Hello, Acroterion. My name is MrThunderbolt1000T. I'm here making a request because I honestly don't know where else I could bring this issue.
The issue is with a user, Snooganssnoogans. Snoogans has continually engaged in edit warring with other users, has reverted my edits on multiple articles, sometimes without merit, and has so reverted the edits of another user ( Apeholder) when they restored my edit and pointed out Soogans's hypocrisy. Snoogans then made a personal attack on this user's talk page.
Now, I'm not aware if saying this would constitute a violation of the good faith rule, but I believe Snoogans has been watching my contributions just to revert my edits on any politically-related articles, and I believe he may be biased, according to his prior conduct. I can't say whether the aforementioned is true for sure, but I'm honestly distressed by his interference with my attempts to improve Wikipedia.
If you could please take a look, I'd appreciate it. I'm sorry if bringing this to you is unnecessary because there's a help desk or some other resource to bring this to. If so, I would be 100% open to guidance on that. I would still like your assistance, though. Thank you very much, and have a great day (or night).-- MrThunderbolt1000T ( talk) 04:21, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I initially posted this to Snoogan's talk page rather than here as I intended. I've reverted the Snoogan talk page edit. The summary Snoogan's has added is problematic since it claims a causal relationship vs a correlation. It is unlikely the any cited study makes that claim. I'm not going to claim all of Snoogan's edits were wrong but it's problematic that so many back and forth edits were made with no talk page discussion. I do think Snoogan has a long pattern of problematic editing. No one case crosses the line but on the whole they are of questionable benefit to Wikipedia.

Greetings, this is Stewart Rhodes, the Founder of Oath Keepers. The opening line of the Wikipedia entry on Oath Keepers makes several erroneous statements, but the most egregious is the false assertion that Oath Keepers is "associated with the white supremacy ... movement[s]"
"Oath Keepers is an anti-government[1][2][3][4][6] American far-right[5] organization associated with the white supremacy and militia movements.[7][8]"
The article that citation 7 links to doesn't even assert that Oath Keepers is associated with the white supremacy movement.
That article merely describes us as white (even though we have black and Hispanic members and leaders, such as Greg McWhirter, who is a current serving sheriff deputy who is on our national Board of Directors). Here is what the article says:
"Oath Keepers: Who are white militia at Ferguson protests and why are they allowed to carry guns? At least three white members of the group were seen carrying assault rifles among protesters during demonstrations overnight. A group of white men armed with assault rifles have been filmed “patrolling” the streets of Ferguson during a fourth night of protests marking the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death."
The article doesn't assert that we are a white supremacist group, or associated with the white supremacy movement. And yet it is being cited as a reference for the entry describing Oath Keepers as "associated with the white supremacy ... movements."
That needs to be corrected ASAP. This is very damaging as well as false. We are overtly, strongly anti-racist, and do not allow anyone to be a member who discriminates against anyone for their race. Can you help get that edit done? I can be reached at <redacted>
Thank you very much!

I have been trying to remove a false bit of information from the Flight 11 article; the supposed myth that one of the pilots pressed the radio so that controllers could hear Atta’s voice. Unfortunately, I was the one who put it on this article all those years ago, as I wanted to keep the myth of some of the heroism of 9/11, especially the flight crew. Flight 11’s pilot’s didn’t keep an open mic so that the hijacker’s voice could be heard. From what I have gathered, that was just early news articles misinterpreting why hijacker pilot Atta mistakenly transmitted to ATC when telling the passengers to stay in their seats. I’m not impeaching or downplaying the bravery of the Flight 11 crew, but that doesn’t seems to have been what happened. Regardless, I’m sure the pilots tried to fight back, but it would have been over quickly. We never know if they were killed or incapacitated, but we hope it was over quick. These sources must be treated with a great deal of caution and we should instead rely on primary sources of information as often as we possibly can. If this cautionary advice is not acted upon, it is quite possible for well-meaning researchers to expend a great deal of time and energy discussing the fine points of historical events that never occurred in the first place.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2019).
Interface administrator changes
will no longer use partial or temporary Office Action bans... until and unless community consensus that they are of value or Board directive.
The “admins” or whomever is undoing all edits to the page are ignoring cited changes to the wildly incorrect page that has 20+ year old information and uses “sources” like Forbes.com as legitimate factual points of reference. This violates Wikipedias own guidelines As they are taking personal opinions and displaying them as factual evidence and actively ignoring, discouraging and hiding modern factual and empirical changes based on newly found research. These page administrators or editors or whoever has the ability or power to ban or grossly remove edits are those which give Wikipedia a bad name and are why It is never acceptable to cite Wikipedia in any medical journal. In my several decade experience as a physician it is disheartening to see someone who is clearly uneducated on the topic but yet are in a position of power to spread misinformation and discredit any sort of validity Wikipedia tries to continuously establish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1007:B106:50A:B88E:2769:C850:ECBC ( talk) 04:09, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

This article is ENTIRELY written in a BIAS narrative on the assumption of guilt against NON PROVEN accusations thus VIOLATES the NON BIAS "NEUTRAL" INTENT OF WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. My last edits changed some of the accusative wording to be NON BIAS such as adding "allegedly" in sentences that say "did" or "did not" in accordance with the NON BIAS and NEUTRAL INTENT OF WIKIPEDIA ARTICLES. This article cites known and proven BIAS media sources, eg. CNN of which it is common knowledge and FACT that this media outlet is entirely the bias "mouthpiece" of the Democratic Party and the article is written entirely from the BIAS of the Democratic Party. This is like asking the Nazis to write a "neutral" or "non bias" article on the Jews. I am sadly forced into having to interpret you accusation of "disruptive editing" to be an effort on your part to OBSTRUCT genuine NON BIAS editing and therefore consciously further the BIAS of this article and thus VIOLATE WIKIPEDIA'S RULES OF NEUTRALITY. My edits were in NO WAY "disruptive editing." I have been editing Wikipedia articles successfully for MANY YEARS. Do I need to escalate this? What's your agenda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.190.87.225 ( talk) 10:36, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
It is GoBlackhawksGo ( talk · contribs). There at least fpur, here [21], and three others at his sandbox #s 66, 67, and 68. All about players who never existed. He has more these in his sandbox but I haven't checked on them but based on these I would suspect more hoaxes. Could you please take care of them and have a word with this editor and Happy Holidays. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 21:33, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello. Recently you have blocked User:Realsales23 as a promotion-only account. Now, the user User:Fixphone23 has appeared. I suspect they are the same person because of related-ish usernames and account purposes and the following filter log record, where one of them seemingly accidentally used the old user's user page instead of the new one: Special:AbuseLog/25582717. Can you confirm if the text added by User:Realsales23 to their user talk page is the same as the text added by User:Fixphone23? If so, does this imply they are the same person?

Hi, I see you received a mention from an IP who's recently begun commenting across at the Greta Thunberg talk page. I wondered if this might be related to MartiniShaw ( talk) whom you recently blocked for a couple of weeks and topic banned? Esowteric+ Talk 17:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

I dont get why my user page gets deleted again Albert Tanoni ( talk) 06:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Thisisafakeaccount13 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Hey Acroterion, hope all is well. You might need to revoke talk page access for the above account you blocked. I'm seeing they are trying to edit their talk page after the block. -- LuK3 (Talk) 13:32, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Hello
I'm not looking to use Wikipedia against policies. I'm a legitimate motorcycling coach and author. I see that others are listed on Wikipedia so I thought it would be okay to include myself. Just a simple listing like these: /info/en/?search=Nick_Ienatsch or /info/en/?search=Keith_Code
If this is unacceptable, how did they get listed? Just curious. Does someone else have to build my page for me?
