Hi Kevin, I saw your message after I emailed you. Can you indicate which passages are the "significant text that was copied from copyrighted sources."? That would be very helpful. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venndiagram8 ( talk • contribs) 14:47, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
I have also reposted the article to my sandbox if that is easier for you to indicate what your specific objections are so I can remedy them. This is a very prominent organization in improving enrollment and graduation rates for Latino students. Is that part of your objection? I did look at UNCF's article and tried to model after that. Thanks for any help you can give me.

THANKS Kevin!! This is very helpful. May I make some significant changes and have you review again? In terms of notability, I think they qualify, so I will proceed adjusting the language and investigating those copyright issues. I will let you know when it is ready.

Hi Kevin, I believe I have successfully neutralized the tone. Because this is a non-profit, I wasn't really thinking about "promotion" when I posted so thanks so much for your detailed explanation. Double checking the copyright issues now too. If you have a second, I would really appreciate your taking a look at my sandbox again. Specific question - I copied the format for other similar "minority" advancement nonprofits which is why I included "recognition". Is it okay to leave that or is that too "promotional" as well.

Hello, L235. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Kevin,
On or about Nov 10, I wrote a note to Oshwah on his talk page, to which you responded.
At the time, I was upset about being triple-banned for edits I made that I thought belonged. The ubiquitous NorthBySouthBaranof explained to me where my edits were inappropriate, and you chimed in as well, although without his imperious tone.
Indeed, I made mistakes, although I would maintain that mistakes should not be a cause for a ban. The mistakes in my edits were legitimate errors - they were not intentional vandalism.
It's been about 38 days since my 30 day ban.
I went back to the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez page, and added that which I intended to add last time, except I was more careful this time around.
My edit remained for a whopping 15 minutes.
An editor with the handle "Tsumikiria", the same person who attacked me 38 or so days ago and referred me for banning, reverted all my edits there, for which his basis was not just false, they were and are, I dare say, anti-Semitic.
I added content which was sources by three provided links: 1. CBS News 2. The Times of Israel 3. The Jerusalem Post "Tsumikiria" not only reverted my edits, he sent me a message accusing me of "disruptive editing", of making "defamatory" claims, and threatened another block.
And here is his reasoning, I kid you not:
"we know Israeli media criticize anyone criticizing israel (sic)"
Um, CBS is not Israeli media. The other two organs are respected, centrist publications, one of which (Times of Israel) has an Arab language publication. (See Wikipedia's respective articles on each publication.)
Furthermore, the Israeli media articles linked contain quotes from named Americans, both on the right and on the left. Even if Tsumikiria's false accusation were true, it would be irrelevant.
Can you please go to the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez page and see for yourself? I am just an editor, same level as Tsumikiria, albeit I'm the one with lousy computer skills. Can you please jump in on behalf of truth, justice, and the American way? Or, failing that, for a fair and open Wikipedia?

I created a temporary "bengal cat" page which I was editing for copyright violations. I woke this morning top find it gone. Please advise. ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 14:37, 27 January 2019 (UTC))
I am having some difficulty in sorting the issues. My goal is to get the Bengal Cat page up and make it encyclopedic. I have done extensive edits, and apparently over-quoted material for the article. The latest example you have alerted me to is the (cfa.org/breeds/breedsab/bengal.aspx reference). In that instance I can erase the offending reference. I do hope to leave one reference to the relevant CFA "Breed Standard" in the infobox. Is there an area where a temp Bengal Cat page can exist. Thank you ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 15:12, 27 January 2019 (UTC))
I will create the "Bengal cat/Temp" page and try to go section by section to create a new article using the previous versions as a guide. I hope that this is an appropriate use of the page. Please alert me if this is not procedure. All my best ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 16:17, 27 January 2019 (UTC))

Hello, I observed your recent block of User:Itchyjunk and I believe it was a hasty ban that was unnecessary. the user came to IRC looking for assistance which was rendered. We discussed a citation that needed fixing and the user acted boldly and tried to assist. If the username is offensive, then I highly suggest helping the user with a username change (Like User:ItchyJ or something) rather than handing out a block.

Thank you for what you're doing to protect the Notre-Dame de Paris page. ThomasBur ( talk) 09:19, 16 April 2019 (UTC) |
Hi, I've found that even some experienced editors are confused by Template:ArbCom Arab-Israeli editnotice and its documentation. It is hard work to wade through Wikipedia:ARBPIA3 to sort out the decisions from the argument. Can I suggest that the notice instead links to the summary at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles? That way, people who just want to see what the current restrictions are (i.e., most editors) will see them immediately. Also, the documentation looks out of date. It refers to the ARBPIA restriction, but there are several. Then it says "Note that a lack of this template is not an indication that the article is not subject to the restriction", but arbcom has retracted that in the case of the General 1RR restriction. Thanks. Zero talk 04:52, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.
|
This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:59, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
Sk8erPrince I don't know what to do about this situation. He keeps holding a grudge against me. I really want to make up with him. I admit that I made very very rude comments previously but now I apologize. Sincerely, Masum Reza ☎ 17:01, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic personal data and approved your request.
You may now access the interface here. Before you begin handling requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarize yourself with the process.
Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list following the instructions on that page. I also advise that you also join us on IRC #wikipedia-en-accounts connect where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and you can get real time advice on how to handle requests.
Please note failure to correctly assess requests will result in suspension of tool access. Account creation is not a race, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly. Releasing personally identifying information (such as IP and email addresses), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated very seriously and will generally result in immediate suspension.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me or any other tool admin if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome! — JJMC89 ( T· C) 03:00, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Here, you claim to have rangeblocked the IPs for the 45.116.0.0/16 range, but that didn't happen. Maybe you were too busy and missed it? ( [5], [6]) This range is still making sock edits and vandalistic edits along with disruptive editing, such as unsourced additions. - R9tgokunks ⭕ 22:26, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey. I made an account, but I messed up a bit. Can you please:

I created a temporary "bengal cat" page which I was editing for copyright violations. I woke this morning top find it gone. Please advise. ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 14:37, 27 January 2019 (UTC))
I am having some difficulty in sorting the issues. My goal is to get the Bengal Cat page up and make it encyclopedic. I have done extensive edits, and apparently over-quoted material for the article. The latest example you have alerted me to is the (cfa.org/breeds/breedsab/bengal.aspx reference). In that instance I can erase the offending reference. I do hope to leave one reference to the relevant CFA "Breed Standard" in the infobox. Is there an area where a temp Bengal Cat page can exist. Thank you ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 15:12, 27 January 2019 (UTC))
I will create the "Bengal cat/Temp" page and try to go section by section to create a new article using the previous versions as a guide. I hope that this is an appropriate use of the page. Please alert me if this is not procedure. All my best ( Lubbad85 ( talk) 16:17, 27 January 2019 (UTC))

Hello! I stumbled across the standing review offer on your user page and was wondering if you might be interested in taking a look at Ninetieth Minnesota State Senate v. Dayton. It's a Minnesota Supreme Court case, but I submitted it for peer review over a month ago and have yet to receive a reply. If the article isn't of interest to you or you don't have time at the moment, don't worry about it. In any case, I'm in no hurry. Thanks for your time! ebbillings ( talk) 21:30, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi. How are you doing? Hope all is well and fine. I just gave Kb03 NPR on permanent terms. If that's not alright with you (as I noticed you had given NPR on a temporary basis), feel free to revert my right addition. Thanks, Lourdes 04:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

My apologies. I get a little archive happy sometimes. My problem is that it doesn't seem to work all the time (as in I don't see "|Archive"), so I get a little too excited when I see it pop up. I won't make that mistake again! Thank you! :D ― MattLongCT - Talk- ☖ 20:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello Kevin! I am a grad student working under Angela. We are hosting another edit-a-thon on March 8th for Women and LGBT+ Diversity on Wikipedia. Here's our Outreach Dashboard: [9].

Hello, I observed your recent block of User:Itchyjunk and I believe it was a hasty ban that was unnecessary. the user came to IRC looking for assistance which was rendered. We discussed a citation that needed fixing and the user acted boldly and tried to assist. If the username is offensive, then I highly suggest helping the user with a username change (Like User:ItchyJ or something) rather than handing out a block. Please remember that We should not bite newcomers, some of whom might need a little guidance. The Pony Toast 🍞 ( Talk) 20:45, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for what you're doing to protect the Notre-Dame de Paris page. ThomasBur ( talk) 09:19, 16 April 2019 (UTC) |
Hi, I've found that even some experienced editors are confused by Template:ArbCom Arab-Israeli editnotice and its documentation. It is hard work to wade through Wikipedia:ARBPIA3 to sort out the decisions from the argument. Can I suggest that the notice instead links to the summary at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles? That way, people who just want to see what the current restrictions are (i.e., most editors) will see them immediately. Also, the documentation looks out of date. It refers to the ARBPIA restriction, but there are several. Then it says "Note that a lack of this template is not an indication that the article is not subject to the restriction", but arbcom has retracted that in the case of the General 1RR restriction. Thanks. Zero talk 04:52, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrators
must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:59, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.
Sk8erPrince I don't know what to do about this situation. He keeps holding a grudge against me. I really want to make up with him. I admit that I made very very rude comments previously but now I apologize. Sincerely, Masum Reza ☎ 17:01, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic personal data and approved your request.
You may now access the interface here. Before you begin handling requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarize yourself with the process.
Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list following the instructions on that page. I also advise that you also join us on IRC #wikipedia-en-accounts connect where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and you can get real time advice on how to handle requests.
Please note failure to correctly assess requests will result in suspension of tool access. Account creation is not a race, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly. Releasing personally identifying information (such as IP and email addresses), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated very seriously and will generally result in immediate suspension.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me or any other tool admin if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome! — JJMC89 ( T· C) 03:00, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
