Hi, following from your comments at the El Paso shooting article, I got to looking at the edits of this user - User:5Ept5xW. This person is searching Wikipedia for instances of 'manned' and replacing them with 'crewed'. I think this type of systematic replacement is troublesome. I remember looking at Wikipedia a few years ago and there was someone at that time carrying out wholesale replacements of British Isles with 'Britain and Ireland'. As I recall, this caused enormous aggravation and ultimately resulted in bans and blocks all over the place, as many other editors on both sides of the debate waded in. I suspect this is what's going to happen with the 'crewed' vs 'manned' campaign - if it hasn't already happened. Do you know if anything can be done to stop this user imposing an agenda throughout Wikipedia? 31.52.163.85 ( talk) 14:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Nowhere in the novel did "IT" become ITs name. It was ALWAYS a descriptor, an adjective. Even if it had. ITS/ITs is still the correct possessive form. Do some research and get a clue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GJIMMY11811 ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

If you will please look at the official NTSB report [1] on page 15, you will see that a 1977 Cadillac Sedan deVille is mentioned in the accident. If we have the 1977 Ford B700/Superior mentioned and the Toyota Pickup (year not mentioned, 1987 btw), why not have the Cadillac mentioned on the page instead of "passenger car" and the car is not even listed on the page, but it was in the accident as an innocent victim (and I was just making the page accurate since I read the report a few days ago)

Hi General Ization,
Thanks for your notification. I realized i did not put the source for Enes Kanter and Kemba Walker's new height. However, i did retrieved the source from Boston.com with the new height listing. Hopefully, that clears up any misunderstanding of vandalism on their web page [1]

My edit was described as vandalism. When I made the edit I had listened to an extensive interview with the author in which he described himself as one of Jamaica's few openly gay authors. Anyone who deleted my edit - rather than calling it vandalism, could simply have used Google. Her is a link from the Graun in which Mr James homosexuality is discussed. There are many others.

Hello General Ization. You asked for EC protection for this article. The community is very cautious about this protection, and I am not sure that any arb case applies. Have you noticed any sockpuppetry? Or do you think anybody ought to be notified under WP:GS/SCW? Any admin can apply full protection if they think it needed, but that would prevent article development on a current topic. EdJohnston ( talk) 23:02, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, General.
I noticed that you deleted my contributions to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's page... It occurred to me that you might not know that that's how we typically style our chiefs here in Nigeria, so I thought that I'd provide a link to an article in which that form is used to refer to him.

I'll wait twenty-four hours to give you an opportunity to verify this by reading the article, then I'll restore the edits.
Kind regards,

I realize that the cultural practices of Nigeria may be different than those of the US; this is a question of standard practice here at Wikipedia, not an attempt to impose US cultural practices on a non-US leader.
A better example might be Bernard Francis Law, who, as a cardinal of the Catholic church in the US, was forever and consistently referred to as "Cardinal Law" (or "His Eminence", his honorific title) long after he resigned that position in the church. Nevertheless, we refer to him by name as "Bernard Francis Law" in the opening of the lede. General Ization Talk 15:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Even in the case of Britain's Queen, we refer to her in the opening of the lede as Elizabeth II, not as "Queen Elizabeth" (even though that is how she is consistently referred to by residents of the UK). Unlike the other examples, and as is common with royalty, she has never used her full legal name (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor) in any public context.

“Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gender binary, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.”
I just took another look at gender binary, and it is teeming with unsourced edits. It seems amiss that the only thing you took exception to was the common knowledge statement that Males have XY Chromosomes and Females have XX Chromosomes, when you know that the largest problem with attribution is choosing one of the 8 1/2 million sources to use. With regards to the statements which have no attributions and fall far short of common-knowlege, there seems to be an acceptance of unsourced edits depending on the relative popularity of the positions within the community. Unfortunately, biased moderation often equals or exceeds biased edits, and in my opinion, it is arguably Wikipedia’s biggest shortcoming. People’s bias is typically inverse to the perception of one’s bias, and humans simply cannot moderate in an unbiased manner. I find the referenced article proof of this paradigm. It’s often the case that popular-yet-encyclopedicly-questionable edits receive no scrutiny, while common-sensically-yet-unpopular edits are asked to source the word ‘the’ (I’m exaggerating, but you get the point). Thank you for your time. Opie8 ( talk) 08:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Sure fair enough, I’m not asking you to revert it. I accept the decision. I’m only making the observation that it was unequally applied, and pointing out that selective enforcement of any given rule inevitably leads to bias that can be as detrimental to the article as any specific infraction. Especially when one selectively picks out one infraction in a veritable sea of such. Yes, the position that it is nonetheless an infraction is taken, and I don’t request that it not stand. My point also stands, though. Best of luck to you.

Hello, General Ization. I want to talk to you about the page Ramy Khodeir I created. I've used citations from IMDb, ORCID, Google Scholar etc. There are also interviews and news articles on Ramy Khodeir which I believe that this page may be improved. May I ask why Ramy Khodeir was requested for deletion? Hopefully we can solve this. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmiller02 ( talk • contribs) 05:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Why did you erase my addition on the cover art? I was a 68 IP back then before this one was assigned to the interface. It wasn't done in bad faith by saving your descriptor of "We can see that. It doesn't have to belong in an article." I think you have done it by accident. Please restore it under Background.

I found that you have deleted my edit on the Mexican Standoff article about the instance it appears on The Big Bang Theory, and they check it on Wikipedia itself. "In the popular comedy TV series The Big Bang Theory, in episode six of season nine Sheldon Cooper compares his position at the Helium scene as a Mexican standoff which Leonard later checks on Wikipedia." therefore, should be in the article as that's the norm in any other article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indike001 ( talk • contribs) 07:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I received a notification about a new message on my "talk page", but strangely that message no longer appears there, as it was removed by yourself two minutes later...
"Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Paulie Pennino. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. General Ization Talk 03:24, 29 September 2019 (UTC)"
Can you please explain in what way(s)
this edit can be considered "unconstructive", or even "constitute vandalism" ? Did you actually read the changes in question before you decided that they "appear" to constitute vandalism ? I happen to have watched the six Rocky movies over the course of a few days before I made that edit, and also edited related articles on "Mickey Goldmill", "Apollo Creed", and "Adrian Pennino". What I added here is both factually true (actual quotes from the movies) and definitely relevant to portray the conflicted relationship between Rocky and Paulie (that moment where Rocky finally tells Paulie that he is a "jealous, lazy bum" is particularly important in that regard). Also it is not true that Paulie "invited Rocky to begin his unique training method of punching sides of beef" – Rocky did it on his own initiative, after he saw Paulie punch a beef haphazadly out of frustration while insulting him ("It stinks in here! And you stink!"). But I begin to feel like, on Wikipedia, representing the truth is not a priority so much as to compile consensual misconceptions.--

While I understand that you have no particular mandate to treat people with respect, and can do as you please, I wish you would reconsider the rudeness with which you display at times. As you’re probably aware, there is a somewhat-common theory that moderation attracts certain personality types for whom empathy is in rather short supply. This plus even minor amounts of power seems to provoke a certain hostility. The Stamford Prison Experiment is interesting read for a more extreme example. Was it really not possible to understand the confusion and worry this person may have felt at being accused of a transgression they had no intention of making? Clearly your actions indicate that it’s a potentially borderline issue, and the op is concerned about that. And while you may dedicate much of your time to the task, other volunteers contribute more sporadically. Two weeks is a common vacation length. Or perhaps they changed jobs, witnessed the births their child, or had some life event to attend to. To have no interest in a discussion because a contributor made the cardinal sin of having a life seems to be a contravention of good-faith. There should be a high bar to having ‘no interest’ in discussion one’s good-faith concerns. People will tolerate a great deal of rudeness from their employers, but these people are volunteers. Trolls, vandals, and bad actors never give up, but those with good intentions will direct their efforts elsewhere if they feel that their efforts, even if they make mistakes, are not being appreciated. Participating in Wikipedia can be intimidating, and the first interaction one has with a moderator can determine whether one sticks with it and learns the ropes, or decides that being insulted is not how they want to spend their free time. Please, if you can, try to exercise the power that you have with a bit more humility and understanding. Feel free to take me over the coals, but when you’re done, maybe give just a little bit of thought to what I’ve said. Opie8 ( talk) 20:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Nowhere in the novel did "IT" become ITs name. It was ALWAYS a descriptor, an adjective. Even if it had. ITS/ITs is still the correct possessive form. Do some research and get a clue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GJIMMY11811 ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

If you will please look at the official NTSB report [1] on page 15, you will see that a 1977 Cadillac Sedan deVille is mentioned in the accident. If we have the 1977 Ford B700/Superior mentioned and the Toyota Pickup (year not mentioned, 1987 btw), why not have the Cadillac mentioned on the page instead of "passenger car" and the car is not even listed on the page, but it was in the accident as an innocent victim (and I was just making the page accurate since I read the report a few days ago)
Just my $.02

Hi General Ization,
Thanks for your notification. I realized i did not put the source for Enes Kanter and Kemba Walker's new height. However, i did retrieved the source from Boston.com with the new height listing. Hopefully, that clears up any misunderstanding of vandalism on their web page [1]
Sorry for the misunderstandin
Lemme know if there's any of thing you want me to fix

My edit was described as vandalism. When I made the edit I had listened to an extensive interview with the author in which he described himself as one of Jamaica's few openly gay authors. Anyone who deleted my edit - rather than calling it vandalism, could simply have used Google. Her is a link from the Graun in which Mr James homosexuality is discussed. There are many others.

Hello General Ization. You asked for EC protection for this article. The community is very cautious about this protection, and I am not sure that any arb case applies. Have you noticed any sockpuppetry? Or do you think anybody ought to be notified under WP:GS/SCW? Any admin can apply full protection if they think it needed, but that would prevent article development on a current topic. EdJohnston ( talk) 23:02, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, General.
I noticed that you deleted my contributions to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's page... It occurred to me that you might not know that that's how we typically style our chiefs here in Nigeria, so I thought that I'd provide a link to an article in which that form is used to refer to him.

I'll wait twenty-four hours to give you an opportunity to verify this by reading the article, then I'll restore the edits.
Kind regards,

I realize that the cultural practices of Nigeria may be different than those of the US; this is a question of standard practice here at Wikipedia, not an attempt to impose US cultural practices on a non-US leader.
A better example might be Bernard Francis Law, who, as a cardinal of the Catholic church in the US, was forever and consistently referred to as "Cardinal Law" (or "His Eminence", his honorific title) long after he resigned that position in the church. Nevertheless, we refer to him by name as "Bernard Francis Law" in the opening of the lede. General Ization Talk 15:32, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
Even in the case of Britain's Queen, we refer to her in the opening of the lede as Elizabeth II, not as "Queen Elizabeth" (even though that is how she is consistently referred to by residents of the UK). Unlike the other examples, and as is common with royalty, she has never used her full legal name (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor) in any public context.

“Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gender binary, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.”
I just took another look at gender binary, and it is teeming with unsourced edits. It seems amiss that the only thing you took exception to was the common knowledge statement that Males have XY Chromosomes and Females have XX Chromosomes, when you know that the largest problem with attribution is choosing one of the 8 1/2 million sources to use. With regards to the statements which have no attributions and fall far short of common-knowlege, there seems to be an acceptance of unsourced edits depending on the relative popularity of the positions within the community. Unfortunately, biased moderation often equals or exceeds biased edits, and in my opinion, it is arguably Wikipedia’s biggest shortcoming. People’s bias is typically inverse to the perception of one’s bias, and humans simply cannot moderate in an unbiased manner. I find the referenced article proof of this paradigm. It’s often the case that popular-yet-encyclopedicly-questionable edits receive no scrutiny, while common-sensically-yet-unpopular edits are asked to source the word ‘the’ (I’m exaggerating, but you get the point). Thank you for your time. Opie8 ( talk) 08:32, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
Sure fair enough, I’m not asking you to revert it. I accept the decision. I’m only making the observation that it was unequally applied, and pointing out that selective enforcement of any given rule inevitably leads to bias that can be as detrimental to the article as any specific infraction. Especially when one selectively picks out one infraction in a veritable sea of such. Yes, the position that it is nonetheless an infraction is taken, and I don’t request that it not stand. My point also stands, though. Best of luck to you.

Hello, General Ization. I want to talk to you about the page Ramy Khodeir I created. I've used citations from IMDb, ORCID, Google Scholar etc. There are also interviews and news articles on Ramy Khodeir which I believe that this page may be improved. May I ask why Ramy Khodeir was requested for deletion? Hopefully we can solve this. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexmiller02 ( talk • contribs) 05:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
Why did you erase my addition on the cover art? I was a 68 IP back then before this one was assigned to the interface. It wasn't done in bad faith by saving your descriptor of "We can see that. It doesn't have to belong in an article." I think you have done it by accident. Please restore it under Background.
Night,

I found that you have deleted my edit on the Mexican Standoff article about the instance it appears on The Big Bang Theory, and they check it on Wikipedia itself. "In the popular comedy TV series The Big Bang Theory, in episode six of season nine Sheldon Cooper compares his position at the Helium scene as a Mexican standoff which Leonard later checks on Wikipedia." therefore, should be in the article as that's the norm in any other article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indike001 ( talk • contribs) 07:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I received a notification about a new message on my "talk page", but strangely that message no longer appears there, as it was removed by yourself two minutes later...
"Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Paulie Pennino. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. General Ization Talk 03:24, 29 September 2019 (UTC)"
Can you please explain in what way(s)
this edit can be considered "unconstructive", or even "constitute vandalism" ? Did you actually read the changes in question before you decided that they "appear" to constitute vandalism ? I happen to have watched the six Rocky movies over the course of a few days before I made that edit, and also edited related articles on "Mickey Goldmill", "Apollo Creed", and "Adrian Pennino". What I added here is both factually true (actual quotes from the movies) and definitely relevant to portray the conflicted relationship between Rocky and Paulie (that moment where Rocky finally tells Paulie that he is a "jealous, lazy bum" is particularly important in that regard). Also it is not true that Paulie "invited Rocky to begin his unique training method of punching sides of beef" – Rocky did it on his own initiative, after he saw Paulie punch a beef haphazadly out of frustration while insulting him ("It stinks in here! And you stink!"). But I begin to feel like, on Wikipedia, representing the truth is not a priority so much as to compile consensual misconceptions.--

While I understand that you have no particular mandate to treat people with respect, and can do as you please, I wish you would reconsider the rudeness with which you display at times. As you’re probably aware, there is a somewhat-common theory that moderation attracts certain personality types for whom empathy is in rather short supply. This plus even minor amounts of power seems to provoke a certain hostility. The Stamford Prison Experiment is interesting read for a more extreme example. Was it really not possible to understand the confusion and worry this person may have felt at being accused of a transgression they had no intention of making? Clearly your actions indicate that it’s a potentially borderline issue, and the op is concerned about that. And while you may dedicate much of your time to the task, other volunteers contribute more sporadically. Two weeks is a common vacation length. Or perhaps they changed jobs, witnessed the births their child, or had some life event to attend to. To have no interest in a discussion because a contributor made the cardinal sin of having a life seems to be a contravention of good-faith. There should be a high bar to having ‘no interest’ in discussion one’s good-faith concerns. People will tolerate a great deal of rudeness from their employers, but these people are volunteers. Trolls, vandals, and bad actors never give up, but those with good intentions will direct their efforts elsewhere if they feel that their efforts, even if they make mistakes, are not being appreciated. Participating in Wikipedia can be intimidating, and the first interaction one has with a moderator can determine whether one sticks with it and learns the ropes, or decides that being insulted is not how they want to spend their free time. Please, if you can, try to exercise the power that you have with a bit more humility and understanding. Feel free to take me over the coals, but when you’re done, maybe give just a little bit of thought to what I’ve said. Opie8 ( talk) 20:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
I notified the user one minute after posting the report. You asked me if I was planning on notifying two or three minutes after the report and one minute after the notification.
