Howdy! You may have seen it at FAC on its first nom, but I wanted to notify that Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 is up at FAC again.

Hello, EW.
I have written and carefully sourced, a page for my father. So yes, it should be checked for bias, but I don't think there is one:). I wrote it on my user page with the visual editor:) but would like to move it into the queue for evaluation for bias and legitimacy. I think his accomplishments and the substantiation thereof is documented (academically) and without bias. How do I do this? I looked and it looks like I need to put HTML code into publish, but I couldn't understand how I move it from my user page to 'production' through formal wikipedia processes.....can you help? -- Official PA Bio ( talk) 22:59, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Mentor: How do I set up a page for myself? -- Larksfield ( talk) 21:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
I'll be posting a source review at Rutledge's FAC, but while working on it I suddenly remembered I had a copy of David Atkinson's 1999 Leaving the Bench: Supreme Court Justices at the End. I looked up Rutledge and Atkinson says he was cremated, which I suppose is not necessarily inconsistent with the information in the article that his remains have been removed from the cemetery. If you think that's worth including I can give you the citation information. Atkinson also includes quotes about Rutledge's tendency to overwork; again if you're interested I can give you the details. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

This award is given to Extraordinary Writ for 43 reviews and 8 re-reviews in the July NPP backlog reduction drive. Your contributions played a part in the 9895 reviews that took place during the drive. Thank you for your contributions. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 08:59, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Extraordinary Writ,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Thank you today for Melville Fuller, introduced: "Chief Justice Melville Fuller was, by all accounts, a competent administrator and a kind man, but he also ended up on the wrong side of some of the worst decisions that the U.S. Supreme Court has ever rendered. Leading a conservative court in an era of change, the mustachioed jurist struck down the federal income tax, endorsed racial segregation, and turned laissez-faire into a constitutional mandate. Needless to say, the legal academy hasn't looked too favorably upon his tenure: despite recent attempts to rehabilitate his reputation, Fuller remains inextricably linked with what one scholar called "a far-off and bygone judicial age". Yet that age – one in which an increasingly conservative judiciary faced off against an increasingly progressive society – perhaps bears some similiarities to our own. The story of Melville Weston Fuller remains as relevant today as ever."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey, Extraordinary Writ. I've finally finished the GA review for Wiley Rutledge.

Understandably our old conversations about this have been deleted, and I would not expect you to remember them from about 4 months ago, but basically, you ended up helping me with a rather dodgy effort about removing the page LiveWorkPlay and ultimately it was reversed. Well, it has happened again - despite the page having now gone through multiple discussions and vetting. I don't have the skills or experience to understand how these processes are being utilized but I believe it is much the same as what was unearthed on the previous occasion when this occurred. Basically, the page has been removed under false pretences (again). Iamthekanadian ( talk) 19:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, i see you closed a category about having "...in Czech Republic" in its title. Maybe you overlooked the comments in the discussion but there was an agreement on redirecting it to "in the Czech Republic", so as to have it listed alphabetically correct when editors go scrolling the HotCat list to add the category, instead of looking for it between "Vietnam" and "in the Dominican Republic" at the bottom of it, very counterintuitively position to think about. Can you please do that? There were various methods on how to do it in the discussion you closed. Thank you. -- Opencross ( talk) 11:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Extraordinary WritExtraordinary Writ, I wish to thank you profusely for your indulgence in the absence of Daniel to whom I had marked a communication. The article on Kamla Nath Sharma (an engineer, researcher of Vedic Indian literature, and writer of Hindi language) which was put back as a draft article for further editing, has been thoroughly edited, pruned, improved by me over the last several months. I tried to 'move' it the mainspace, but goofed while doing it. May I request you to kindly consider moving the edited article on Kamla Nath Sharma to the main space, as I am not conversant with the process? @Extraordinary Writ, may I also request you to please 'undo' and revert the wrong changes I did of moving the name Kamla Nath Sharma to User Page of Aaditya Bahuguna and moving it back, to go back to status quo of 21 May 2022.

Dear Extraordinary Writ, could you please explain me your decision not to change the title of the article "Kharkov/Kharkiv Collegium"? There were two positions in the discussion and only one independent opinion from user AjaxSmack , who actually supported my arguments. My Canadian Ukrainian opponent, however, did not agree with it, which was totally expected for me (See: Wikipedia:Content disclaimer). Consensus between us was impossible, so I assumed that the opinions of independent users will be counted. The title of the essay was not changed, although I proved that in special studies on the history of the Collegium the spelling "Kharkov Collegium" is prevalent, even in studies by Ukrainian researchers. And I even explained why using the spelling Kharkiv in reference to the history of the Collegium is an anachronism. Of course I'm not going to start a discussion again, I see no point here and I have a lot to do, but I would be grateful for any explanation of your decision. Cheers, Ушкуйник ( talk) 10:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Writ. About six months ago, you brought Dietrich v The Queen for a review of its featured article status. At the time, I tried to save it, but being brand new to Wikipedia had no idea of the monumental effort doing so would entail, and naively thought a few hundred words of expansion would do the trick. Well months later after spending many hours on the article, I now know that to be not so. I have almost finished re-writing the entire article, line by line I re-typed what was there, redoing the referencing (I used the style of referencing you did in Melville, cheers for that), and have been slowly working my way through the feedback provided at the FA review. I eventually want to re-nominate it at FA, but before I do please would you consider going through the article briefly and letting me know what you think of it now compared to when it was put up for review? I think there is still a long road to go, and I may be better served getting it brought up to GA before FA, but would like your thoughts. Thanks! MaxnaCarta ( talk) 10:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
As noted by Garkawe, it's generally best to make sure the reader knows who the person is; for instance by using something like "As noted by the legal scholar Sam Garkawe..." the first time the person is mentioned.
Dietrich v The Queen is regularly cited in the High Court of Australia. Australia's highest and most supreme court regularly citing a decision it made nearly three decades ago demonstrates the lasting legacy of Dietrich v The Queen, as it is typical for the Court to change its perspective on an issue during such a long period of time.– is there a source for this?
On 16 July 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ex parte Yarbrough, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hey. Answering here, because that discussion just got atoped. Though maybe it's something that should be discussed at Wikipedia talk:Administrators because how you define this will impact the actions that admins can or cannot take when involved? I do not believe the "any" in INVOLVED is using definition 1b. My reading of the relevant paragraph of INVOLVED is:
In the first instance, you cannot use definition 1b, because wheel warring aside, ultimately only one admin can undertake a given action at any time. In the second instance, you cannot use definition 1b because a set of all reasonable people will naturally disagree on any given choice. To require unanimity, which is implied by definition 1b, in the second instance, would I think prevent every involved admin from undertaking an action in most straightforward cases where there is some disagreement about how to handle it. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 00:37, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusionas meaning something like "on the basis that no reasonable administrator would likely disagree with the action". I agree that that's a pretty high standard due to the diversity of views that reasonable administrators might hold, but I think that's the point: if there are legitimate, good-faith arguments for and against something, they should be weighed by someone who doesn't have a horse in the race, not someone who's potentially
incapable of making objective decisions. The exception is focused on cases that are "straightforward", "obvious", and in the same class as "blatant vandalism", and cases where reasonable administrators could disagree don't fit the bill, I don't think. You're certainly welcome to start a discussion at WT:ADMIN if you'd like, though, and I'd be happy to support clarifying the wording if it turns out that there's a lot of confusion about what "any" really means. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 07:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, EW.
I have written and carefully sourced, a page for my father. So yes, it should be checked for bias, but I don't think there is one:). I wrote it on my user page with the visual editor:) but would like to move it into the queue for evaluation for bias and legitimacy. I think his accomplishments and the substantiation thereof is documented (academically) and without bias. How do I do this? I looked and it looks like I need to put HTML code into publish, but I couldn't understand how I move it from my user page to 'production' through formal wikipedia processes.....can you help? -- Official PA Bio ( talk) 22:59, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Mentor: How do I set up a page for myself? -- Larksfield ( talk) 21:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
I'll be posting a source review at Rutledge's FAC, but while working on it I suddenly remembered I had a copy of David Atkinson's 1999 Leaving the Bench: Supreme Court Justices at the End. I looked up Rutledge and Atkinson says he was cremated, which I suppose is not necessarily inconsistent with the information in the article that his remains have been removed from the cemetery. If you think that's worth including I can give you the citation information. Atkinson also includes quotes about Rutledge's tendency to overwork; again if you're interested I can give you the details. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 21:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

This award is given to Extraordinary Writ for 43 reviews and 8 re-reviews in the July NPP backlog reduction drive. Your contributions played a part in the 9895 reviews that took place during the drive. Thank you for your contributions. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 08:59, 3 August 2022 (UTC) |
Hello Extraordinary Writ,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Thank you today for Melville Fuller, introduced: "Chief Justice Melville Fuller was, by all accounts, a competent administrator and a kind man, but he also ended up on the wrong side of some of the worst decisions that the U.S. Supreme Court has ever rendered. Leading a conservative court in an era of change, the mustachioed jurist struck down the federal income tax, endorsed racial segregation, and turned laissez-faire into a constitutional mandate. Needless to say, the legal academy hasn't looked too favorably upon his tenure: despite recent attempts to rehabilitate his reputation, Fuller remains inextricably linked with what one scholar called "a far-off and bygone judicial age". Yet that age – one in which an increasingly conservative judiciary faced off against an increasingly progressive society – perhaps bears some similiarities to our own. The story of Melville Weston Fuller remains as relevant today as ever."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:52, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Understandably our old conversations about this have been deleted, and I would not expect you to remember them from about 4 months ago, but basically, you ended up helping me with a rather dodgy effort about removing the page LiveWorkPlay and ultimately it was reversed. Well, it has happened again - despite the page having now gone through multiple discussions and vetting. I don't have the skills or experience to understand how these processes are being utilized but I believe it is much the same as what was unearthed on the previous occasion when this occurred. Basically, the page has been removed under false pretences (again). Iamthekanadian ( talk) 19:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi, i see you closed a category about having "...in Czech Republic" in its title. Maybe you overlooked the comments in the discussion but there was an agreement on redirecting it to "in the Czech Republic", so as to have it listed alphabetically correct when editors go scrolling the HotCat list to add the category, instead of looking for it between "Vietnam" and "in the Dominican Republic" at the bottom of it, very counterintuitively position to think about. Can you please do that? There were various methods on how to do it in the discussion you closed. Thank you. -- Opencross ( talk) 11:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Extraordinary WritExtraordinary Writ, I wish to thank you profusely for your indulgence in the absence of Daniel to whom I had marked a communication. The article on Kamla Nath Sharma (an engineer, researcher of Vedic Indian literature, and writer of Hindi language) which was put back as a draft article for further editing, has been thoroughly edited, pruned, improved by me over the last several months. I tried to 'move' it the mainspace, but goofed while doing it. May I request you to kindly consider moving the edited article on Kamla Nath Sharma to the main space, as I am not conversant with the process? @Extraordinary Writ, may I also request you to please 'undo' and revert the wrong changes I did of moving the name Kamla Nath Sharma to User Page of Aaditya Bahuguna and moving it back, to go back to status quo of 21 May 2022.

Dear Extraordinary Writ, could you please explain me your decision not to change the title of the article "Kharkov/Kharkiv Collegium"? There were two positions in the discussion and only one independent opinion from user AjaxSmack , who actually supported my arguments. My Canadian Ukrainian opponent, however, did not agree with it, which was totally expected for me (See: Wikipedia:Content disclaimer). Consensus between us was impossible, so I assumed that the opinions of independent users will be counted. The title of the essay was not changed, although I proved that in special studies on the history of the Collegium the spelling "Kharkov Collegium" is prevalent, even in studies by Ukrainian researchers. And I even explained why using the spelling Kharkiv in reference to the history of the Collegium is an anachronism. Of course I'm not going to start a discussion again, I see no point here and I have a lot to do, but I would be grateful for any explanation of your decision. Cheers, Ушкуйник ( talk) 10:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Writ. About six months ago, you brought Dietrich v The Queen for a review of its featured article status. At the time, I tried to save it, but being brand new to Wikipedia had no idea of the monumental effort doing so would entail, and naively thought a few hundred words of expansion would do the trick. Well months later after spending many hours on the article, I now know that to be not so. I have almost finished re-writing the entire article, line by line I re-typed what was there, redoing the referencing (I used the style of referencing you did in Melville, cheers for that), and have been slowly working my way through the feedback provided at the FA review. I eventually want to re-nominate it at FA, but before I do please would you consider going through the article briefly and letting me know what you think of it now compared to when it was put up for review? I think there is still a long road to go, and I may be better served getting it brought up to GA before FA, but would like your thoughts. Thanks! MaxnaCarta ( talk) 10:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
As noted by Garkawe, it's generally best to make sure the reader knows who the person is; for instance by using something like "As noted by the legal scholar Sam Garkawe..." the first time the person is mentioned.
Dietrich v The Queen is regularly cited in the High Court of Australia. Australia's highest and most supreme court regularly citing a decision it made nearly three decades ago demonstrates the lasting legacy of Dietrich v The Queen, as it is typical for the Court to change its perspective on an issue during such a long period of time.– is there a source for this?
On 16 July 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ex parte Yarbrough, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hey. Answering here, because that discussion just got atoped. Though maybe it's something that should be discussed at Wikipedia talk:Administrators because how you define this will impact the actions that admins can or cannot take when involved? I do not believe the "any" in INVOLVED is using definition 1b. My reading of the relevant paragraph of INVOLVED is:
In the first instance, you cannot use definition 1b, because wheel warring aside, ultimately only one admin can undertake a given action at any time. In the second instance, you cannot use definition 1b because a set of all reasonable people will naturally disagree on any given choice. To require unanimity, which is implied by definition 1b, in the second instance, would I think prevent every involved admin from undertaking an action in most straightforward cases where there is some disagreement about how to handle it.

on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusionas meaning something like "on the basis that no reasonable administrator would likely disagree with the action". I agree that that's a pretty high standard due to the diversity of views that reasonable administrators might hold, but I think that's the point: if there are legitimate, good-faith arguments for and against something, they should be weighed by someone who doesn't have a horse in the race, not someone who's potentially
incapable of making objective decisions. The exception is focused on cases that are "straightforward", "obvious", and in the same class as "blatant vandalism", and cases where reasonable administrators could disagree don't fit the bill, I don't think. You're certainly welcome to start a discussion at WT:ADMIN if you'd like, though, and I'd be happy to support clarifying the wording if it turns out that there's a lot of confusion about what "any" really means.

Good morning
I'm new here. I would like to add to Luis Jardim's vast work. He has just finished touring with Marillion on their UK and European 'An Hour Before It's Dark' album. How can I add this? -- Christa57 ( talk) 09:06, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
