Aloha - I am new to Wikipedia. I was trying to flesh out some history for Young Democrats of Hawaii which is an affiliate of the Democratic Party of Hawaii, but it was deleted so speedily that I never had a chance to contest or correct my submission. This is an organization that has been in existence for more than 50 years, is an affiliate of both the Democratic Party and Young Democrats of America, and has produced dozens of notable political figures including at least two state legislative members (in my original version) and more who I was finding sources for when it disappeared. I was planning on also fleshing out other details of party history as well as I have a lot of Hawaii political biographies in my library. Please advise.

Hello Padenton,
You have deleted my changes to Sadiq al-Ghariani for the third time now although I did provide proper edit summary, I only removed parts where false accusation made without any legal evidence only links to other websites taking about these allegation without providing any sort of evidence Please note that this page supposed to provide information about this person and should not be used to address false allegation.

Thanks, Padenton, for taking such an active interest in new articles. It's thanks to people like you that we can maintain high quality standards on Wikipedia. However with this one you certainly surprised me. I created the article at 16.39 and you tagged it for rapid deletion at 16.45! I usually work quite quickly on new articles and add more content with references within minutes. Unfortunately I am now having to spend time on explaining why this person is notable. I would advise you in future to wait at least an hour or two before tagging new articles as it is more than probable that content and references will be added. I have now hastily added a few bits and pieces and will be continuing to expand the article later today. I hope you will now understand that the tag should be removed. Keep up the good work! I'm sure that in most cases you are justified in your efforts.-- Ipigott ( talk) 17:07, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Padenton,
I noticed that you tagged Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano for speedy deletion, arguing that it is unambiguously promotional and would require a complete rewrite in order to not be so. Might you be willing to revisit this conclusion? I would be glad to address any issues you have with the article, as there is a multitude of reliable, secondary sources with which I might do so.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Rape in India. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
In particular, editors should be aware of the
three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a
block.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents
consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an
appropriate noticeboard or seek
dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary
page protection.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Hello Padenton,
I wrote an expansion of the definition of conspiracy theories and believe it was wrongfully deleted. The original definition did not cite a source but provided an explanation (as I did) and a few hyperlinked examples. The writer himself asserted that conspiracy theories cannot be proven by historical record but did not address how conspiracy theories fail to be proven at the time of their creation due to dismissing forces. Also, the writer discusses how they conspiracy theories go against consensus but that defines conspiracy theories as any unpopular idea. Evolution is also an unpopular idea which goes against consensus in many countries but is not suported as a conspiracy theory, rather a theory supported by sound scientific arguementation (some wrongly labeled conspiracy theories incorporate proven facts but are unable to achieve full validation).
I can upload a new expansion with a full list of citations later. I am concerned about the language used in describing conspiracy theories and believed that my addition addressed some aspects of conspiracy theories which were not given proper attention. Again, I would be happy to rewrite what I submitted with full citations, however I think you should apply that same level of scrutiny to assessing the entire article, which to me read as biased and inadvertently equated sound theories such as those posed by the 911 truth movement with actual conspiracy theories such as theories about extraterrestrials.
My point is that this as well as other articles on conspiracy theories deserve a full-review.

I do believe that your comments are rather unhelpful like you had already pointed from start. They are not serving any benefit over there. Discarding strong similarities between an account with 132 edits compared to other account that has only 3470 edits as 'coincidental' looks meaningless and also seems to be challenging the amount similarities that cannot be found only in two persons. And your discussion is clearly about content than it is about SPI. OccultZone ( Talk • Contributions • Log) 22:27, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

What precisely is disruptive about my editing? I removed a single line from an article citing a source of extremely dubious reliability and obvious bias. This line contained a statistic that the cited source presents without any reference or even hint as to the methodology used or even any specific observer of the implied data; it merely states that "estimates from research suggest" said statistic. Absolutely no references, sources, or citations of any kind are offered to support the claim. In what way does this act of technical editing constitute "blanking", especially considering one single line was removed? If I'm not mistaken, Wikipedia protocol is for content to be added, then reverted by other editors, and then discussed. I have justified my revision in the talk page of the article in question, however the editor who is reverting my revision is not making any attempt to reach consensus nor discuss the apparent bias and doubtful credibility of the citation. Furthermore, I have neither edited nor deleted any templates or materials, so I have to ask what justifies your message beyond simple harassment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.203.162.123 ( talk) 16:09, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Are we in agreement as to the main source of the controversy? That is to say: Do you agree that the controversy was launched by Warren's 1) listing herself as a minority in 2) a minority-recruitment directory despite 3) having no documented minority ancestry. (Note: Obviously, agreeing that those three points are what in fact caused the controversy does not mean that you think Warren did anything wrong, or that the controversy was warranted.) If you disagree, please let me know which of the three points you disagree with. I can easily document each of them for you.
I feel like the controversy has been mischaracterized as 'Scott Brown making fun of a multiracial person who looks white.' That's a straw man argument. There are plenty of public figures and politicians who have identified as minorities even though they 'look white.' Gus Hawkins, longtime member of the Congressional Black Caucus, met no controversy for his identity as an African American. Warren's case is strange not because she is a multiracial person who looks white, but because she apparently said she is a minority despite the fact that all her parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents look like and identify as fully white. Steeletrap ( talk) 05:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Steeletrap: I can agree with those. I took a look at your changes last night, I don't have an issue with them. Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit the other day with my revert. The only thing I still think could use improvement is "despite having no documented minority ancestors", but if no one else has an issue with it, I don't feel too strongly about it and I'll live. I think maybe a more neutral phrasing might be
In April 2012, the Boston Herald sparked a campaign controversy when it reported that Warren had listed herself as a minority in Association of American Law Schools (AALS) directories from 1986 to 1995, despite having no documented minority ancestors.

Have you seen my suggestion on creating pages like "New programming languages from year XXXX", where any programming language that don't meet notability by itself but still has reasonable sources can be added (or merged after an article deletion)? Where this discussion can be had? Is there any effort made to keep the relevant content from being lost, like moving it to Rosetta Code, or something like that?
I personally like when I can find the information I want in wikipedia, and I don't care for a second if the world think it is notable or not. I know that this is done to improve the average quality of the wiki, but I think that outdated information for example is better than no information at all. And in wikipedia you can see when that info was updated. IMHO the harm done when outright deleleting those things is much greater than the harm of some slightly outdated info in wikipedia.

Hi, I've been trying to sort out Category:Death-related_lists. Since it's a category of lists, almost every title starts with an L. I've been tweaking the category tags so that more lists move out of the "L" ordering to a more sensible alphabetic position, as you can see by looking at the category. My edit to List of rampage killers moved that list from "L" for "List" to "R" for "Rampage". You've reverted that edit for some reason, so now it's gone back to "L".

Hi. I'm exploring the possibility of proposing a topic ban of User:Marteau in the Neil deGrasse Tyson-related topic area for his continued disruption. However, I've noticed that you've commented about his behavior in the Elizabeth Warren topic area as well. I'm wondering if we shouldn't be combining our efforts to propose a coordinated topic ban on political topics. In the case of Tyson, he's repeatedly trying to go against consensus by adding material about Tyson's quotes concerning conservatives. I'm not entirely sure what he's doing in the Warren area, but it can't be a coincidence that both subjects are considered liberal and Marteau's pushing some kind of conservative POV. In any case, let me know what he's doing in the Warren article so I can better understand the problem. Thanks. Viriditas ( talk) 08:39, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

It is my first attempt to create, and coming close to two weeks soon here I already see that there is a proper place for everything, and simply put, my noob speech is often out of place and in reality probably rather ugly to someone with experience in Wiki's process of discussing articles for deletion.
I will also ask rather bodly, does the chance in status mean that the sources are adequate and accepted to meet Wiki's guidelines? I am imagining the answer might be yes, however the benevolence of the entire community has left me without my congratulatory trophy!

Hi Padenton,
I see you have edited Ant & Dec previously, there is a discussion on the Talk Page regarding the main image, i.e. which image best shows the two. Please leave your comments... SethWhales talk
Hello, Padenton. You appear to be concerned with neutrality in articles, so I thought that this issue required your attention.
The GamerGate page [9] is suffering, as I see it, from a conflict of interest involving its sources. The movement itself can be directly witnessed in its place of origin (Twitter), yet the editors of the article only adopt as "reliable sources" articles by the very media that is being accused of corruption and lack of ethics by the GamerGate movement itself (a movement that claims to be about ethics in gaming journalism). In other words, the "reliable sources" are directly involved in the conflict, and that can't be considered acceptable. They have crafted a narrative of misogyny and harassment as a means to divert the attention from the accusations of corruption, but a quick search can reveal that most of the harassment comes from the opposing side: [10] [11] (the second link contains a collection of twitter posts involving the harassment of GamerGate supporters. The twitter posts themselves can be considered a primary source). Furthermore, the current editors are shutting down any attempts at restoring the neutrality of the article.
When the media is involved in the conflict, the standards for reliable sourcing must account for this fact. Wikipedia Policy clearly states that primary sources can be used on certain occasions [12] This is such an occasion, as the original twitter posts containing the hashtag are direct evidence of what the GamerGate movement is about, and they mostly contradict what the alleged reliable sources are stating.

I just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to WP:RFD. It is a bit of a club, as all these backwaters are, but I think you have joined it without anyone noticing yet! Your contributions, I for one appreciate. I shall not always agree with you, but will argue I hope always politely but vigorously. And sometimes you are right and I am wrong. And if I am wrong, I say so (as I did at a recent listing where you are right). Carry on, a true credit to Wikipedia, I for one appreciate it. I don't know how else to put it, in real life I would give you a hug — don't know if you are man or woman and don't care either, everyone needs a hug — and a half pint of beer (you don't deserve more than that).

Hi Padenton, Many thanks for your thoughts on WP:SPA & Template:spa here, especially the advice on "subst". It is always good to read a different opinion.
I would like to note that I was not suggesting that the editor was attempting anything illegitimate; as this is expressly not the purpose of the Template:Spa tag. The "IP edit" was also not a factor in the decision to add the tag.
On reflection & review (of both WP:SPA & the editors contributions [14] [15]), I cannot concur that the topic is sufficiently "diversified" or that the editor meets the requirement of having a "diverse range of edits"; consequently, I will be re-adding the tag. I must trust the editor closing the MfD discussion to form their own judgement.
I also have some thoughts on WP:BLP application which are relevant to the MfD discussion. I will add those, and a brief summary of this note, to that page. Regards, - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 22:01, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
In response to your , I'm not in a position to say whether Elio Garcia has an inflated ego, but he actually is a consultant on the Game of Thrones HBO series. I looked up his and Antonsson's credentials last year when determining whether Westeros.org met Wikipedia's expert criteria for acceptable self-published sources (it does). Whether "series consultant" is the best thing to call Garcia is more subjective, but if you changed it because you thought it wasn't literally true, you can put your mind at rest.

Thanks, Padenton, for taking such an active interest in new articles. It's thanks to people like you that we can maintain high quality standards on Wikipedia. However with this one you certainly surprised me. I created the article at 16.39 and you tagged it for rapid deletion at 16.45! I usually work quite quickly on new articles and add more content with references within minutes. Unfortunately I am now having to spend time on explaining why this person is notable. I would advise you in future to wait at least an hour or two before tagging new articles as it is more than probable that content and references will be added. I have now hastily added a few bits and pieces and will be continuing to expand the article later today. I hope you will now understand that the tag should be removed. Keep up the good work!

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Rape in India. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
In particular, editors should be aware of the
three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a
block.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents
consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an
appropriate noticeboard or seek
dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary
page protection.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Hello Padenton,
I wrote an expansion of the definition of conspiracy theories and believe it was wrongfully deleted. The original definition did not cite a source but provided an explanation (as I did) and a few hyperlinked examples. The writer himself asserted that conspiracy theories cannot be proven by historical record but did not address how conspiracy theories fail to be proven at the time of their creation due to dismissing forces. Also, the writer discusses how they conspiracy theories go against consensus but that defines conspiracy theories as any unpopular idea. Evolution is also an unpopular idea which goes against consensus in many countries but is not suported as a conspiracy theory, rather a theory supported by sound scientific arguementation (some wrongly labeled conspiracy theories incorporate proven facts but are unable to achieve full validation).
I can upload a new expansion with a full list of citations later. I am concerned about the language used in describing conspiracy theories and believed that my addition addressed some aspects of conspiracy theories which were not given proper attention. Again, I would be happy to rewrite what I submitted with full citations, however I think you should apply that same level of scrutiny to assessing the entire article, which to me read as biased and inadvertently equated sound theories such as those posed by the 911 truth movement with actual conspiracy theories such as theories about extraterrestrials.
My point is that this as well as other articles on conspiracy theories deserve a full-review.

I do believe that your comments are rather unhelpful like you had already pointed from start. They are not serving any benefit over there.

What precisely is disruptive about my editing? I removed a single line from an article citing a source of extremely dubious reliability and obvious bias. This line contained a statistic that the cited source presents without any reference or even hint as to the methodology used or even any specific observer of the implied data; it merely states that "estimates from research suggest" said statistic. Absolutely no references, sources, or citations of any kind are offered to support the claim. In what way does this act of technical editing constitute "blanking", especially considering one single line was removed? If I'm not mistaken, Wikipedia protocol is for content to be added, then reverted by other editors, and then discussed. I have justified my revision in the talk page of the article in question, however the editor who is reverting my revision is not making any attempt to reach consensus nor discuss the apparent bias and doubtful credibility of the citation. Furthermore, I have neither edited nor deleted any templates or materials, so I have to ask what justifies your message beyond simple harassment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.203.162.123 ( talk) 16:09, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Are we in agreement as to the main source of the controversy? That is to say: Do you agree that the controversy was launched by Warren's 1) listing herself as a minority in 2) a minority-recruitment directory despite 3) having no documented minority ancestry. (Note: Obviously, agreeing that those three points are what in fact caused the controversy does not mean that you think Warren did anything wrong, or that the controversy was warranted.) If you disagree, please let me know which of the three points you disagree with. I can easily document each of them for you.
I feel like the controversy has been mischaracterized as 'Scott Brown making fun of a multiracial person who looks white.' That's a straw man argument. There are plenty of public figures and politicians who have identified as minorities even though they 'look white.' Gus Hawkins, longtime member of the Congressional Black Caucus, met no controversy for his identity as an African American. Warren's case is strange not because she is a multiracial person who looks white, but because she apparently said she is a minority despite the fact that all her parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents look like and identify as fully white. Steeletrap ( talk) 05:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Steeletrap: I can agree with those. I took a look at your changes last night, I don't have an issue with them. Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit the other day with my revert. The only thing I still think could use improvement is "despite having no documented minority ancestors", but if no one else has an issue with it, I don't feel too strongly about it and I'll live. I think maybe a more neutral phrasing might be
In April 2012, the Boston Herald sparked a campaign controversy when it reported that Warren had listed herself as a minority in Association of American Law Schools (AALS) directories from 1986 to 1995, despite having no documented minority ancestors.

Have you seen my suggestion on creating pages like "New programming languages from year XXXX", where any programming language that don't meet notability by itself but still has reasonable sources can be added (or merged after an article deletion)? Where this discussion can be had? Is there any effort made to keep the relevant content from being lost, like moving it to Rosetta Code, or something like that?
I personally like when I can find the information I want in wikipedia, and I don't care for a second if the world think it is notable or not. I know that this is done to improve the average quality of the wiki, but I think that outdated information for example is better than no information at all. And in wikipedia you can see when that info was updated. IMHO the harm done when outright deleleting those things is much greater than the harm of some slightly outdated info in wikipedia.

Talk Page, which is as follow:
"I deleted Sections that make reference to past elections result of the Dominican Republic, considering that sections to be unhelpful in this article because there exist independent articles for every one of these elections. In addiction to the deletion, I have add some others Sections to explain better, in general way, the electoral process in the Dominican Republic."
Please direct to Talk:Elections in the Dominican Republic for a better compression of my edition, if you have any questions or suggestion let me now your opinion leaving me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Israel Mencía ( talk) 18:17, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Please re-read the article, and compare it to the sources listed. I nominated it under multiple criteria, but only G10 showed. Excerpted from article "been well received among the frequently drunk and confused juvenile populace", "ill help "keep the casualty (unit) at Navan Hospital open" due to the influx of drunken people riding it and falling off.", "become "a popular meeting place for people of the town" who happen to be inebriated". Article, as a whole, it a hoax at least. 78.26 ( spin me / revolutions) 19:24, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I've been trying to sort out Category:Death-related_lists. Since it's a category of lists, almost every title starts with an L. I've been tweaking the category tags so that more lists move out of the "L" ordering to a more sensible alphabetic position, as you can see by looking at the category. My edit to List of rampage killers moved that list from "L" for "List" to "R" for "Rampage". You've reverted that edit for some reason, so now it's gone back to "L". What do you recommend we do about alphabetical ordering of that category? It doesn't seem sensible to me to keep all the lists under "L". Cheers, MartinPoulter ( talk) 15:36, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I'm exploring the possibility of proposing a topic ban of User:Marteau in the Neil deGrasse Tyson-related topic area for his continued disruption. However, I've noticed that you've commented about his behavior in the Elizabeth Warren topic area as well. I'm wondering if we shouldn't be combining our efforts to propose a coordinated topic ban on political topics. In the case of Tyson, he's repeatedly trying to go against consensus by adding material about Tyson's quotes concerning conservatives. I'm not entirely sure what he's doing in the Warren area, but it can't be a coincidence that both subjects are considered liberal and Marteau's pushing some kind of conservative POV. In any case, let me know what he's doing in the Warren article so I can better understand the problem. Thanks. Viriditas ( talk) 08:39, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
You've been warned before, been redacted and apologized, yet you keep doing it. [4] [5] - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 22:53, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
I renominated the first pink panther article. Please hold off on changing the others so we can get the 3rd mass AFD settled and not have to go touch all the articles again.
However, if editors thought the other 50ish episodes were not notable, does not Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes really come into play here? IS there some reason you think these individual episodes are worthy? Do you plan on reviewing the rest of my contribution history on other completely unrelated articles?

I award you the Socratic Barnstar for your excellent and consistent arguments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Fredinburg; and for your ability and skill in correctly explaining Wikipedia policy in that regard. Law Lord ( talk) 22:11, 29 April 2015 (UTC) |
I see you did some work on the article Kodjo Adabra, thank you! If I understand, you must have a somewhat distinguished role here at Wiki, and I'm thinking you might be kind and tell me what are my options to clean up the format of the project page? It is my first attempt to create, and coming close to two weeks soon here I already see that there is a proper place for everything, and simply put, my noob speech is often out of place and in reality probably rather ugly to someone with experience in Wiki's process of discussing articles for deletion.
I will also ask rather bodly, does the chance in status mean that the sources are adequate and accepted to meet Wiki's guidelines? I am imagining the answer might be yes, however the benevolence of the entire community has left me without my congratulatory trophy! What I am saying is I feel as though I have made progress, even though it is still up for deletion, so I hesitate as well, there is certainly work left to do, in any case, and I suppose I am looking for some direction, as aforementioned, however other tracks entirely would not be unexpected yet welcome.
Thanks, and I hope you are well, Nolanpowers ( talk) 00:41, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Padenton,
I see you have edited Ant & Dec previously, there is a discussion on the Talk Page regarding the main image, i.e. which image best shows the two. Please leave your comments... SethWhales talk
Hello, Padenton. You appear to be concerned with neutrality in articles, so I thought that this issue required your attention.
The GamerGate page [9] is suffering, as I see it, from a conflict of interest involving its sources. The movement itself can be directly witnessed in its place of origin (Twitter), yet the editors of the article only adopt as "reliable sources" articles by the very media that is being accused of corruption and lack of ethics by the GamerGate movement itself (a movement that claims to be about ethics in gaming journalism). In other words, the "reliable sources" are directly involved in the conflict, and that can't be considered acceptable. They have crafted a narrative of misogyny and harassment as a means to divert the attention from the accusations of corruption, but a quick search can reveal that most of the harassment comes from the opposing side: [10] [11] (the second link contains a collection of twitter posts involving the harassment of GamerGate supporters. The twitter posts themselves can be considered a primary source). Furthermore, the current editors are shutting down any attempts at restoring the neutrality of the article.
When the media is involved in the conflict, the standards for reliable sourcing must account for this fact. Wikipedia Policy clearly states that primary sources can be used on certain occasions [12] This is such an occasion, as the original twitter posts containing the hashtag are direct evidence of what the GamerGate movement is about, and they mostly contradict what the alleged reliable sources are stating.

I just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to WP:RFD. It is a bit of a club, as all these backwaters are, but I think you have joined it without anyone noticing yet! Your contributions, I for one appreciate. I shall not always agree with you, but will argue I hope always politely but vigorously. And sometimes you are right and I am wrong. And if I am wrong, I say so (as I did at a recent listing where you are right). Carry on, a true credit to Wikipedia, I for one appreciate it. I don't know how else to put it, in real life I would give you a hug — don't know if you are man or woman and don't care either, everyone needs a hug — and a half pint of beer (you don't deserve more than that).

For the article False accusation of rape, you made some really helpful comments—thank you! I have now submitted something to WP:ANI about what happened. The title is the title of this section. EllieTea ( talk) 21:23, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
I see that ArbCom has effectively reached a decision on what to do with
False accusation of rape. I know that ArbCom is overbusy, but I wish that they had looked into this more deeply. I am, though, extremely and very much glad that you filed the AE Request with them.
Kind wishes,

If you don't know how to read a diff, or don't read what someone has posted, then you really shouldn't undo others' edits. On AN/I, the OP offered up their own sock-puppetry/block evasion evidence. [13] It is hard enough to deal with these issues without decent and experienced editors like yourself who happen - in this instance - to lose focus and miss the evidence and undo attempts to prevent vandalism. Thanks, and no offense intended! Scr★pIron IV 05:24, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
At "Diffs of previous relevant sanctions, if any" you wrote "None that I'm aware of", although you could research, you could also write "Blocked x times". Thanks. OccultZone ( Talk • Contributions • Log) 13:34, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Padenton, Many thanks for your thoughts on WP:SPA & Template:spa here, especially the advice on "subst". It is always good to read a different opinion.
I would like to note that I was not suggesting that the editor was attempting anything illegitimate; as this is expressly not the purpose of the Template:Spa tag. The "IP edit" was also not a factor in the decision to add the tag.
On reflection & review (of both WP:SPA & the editors contributions [14] [15]), I cannot concur that the topic is sufficiently "diversified" or that the editor meets the requirement of having a "diverse range of edits"; consequently, I will be re-adding the tag. I must trust the editor closing the MfD discussion to form their own judgement.
I also have some thoughts on WP:BLP application which are relevant to the MfD discussion. I will add those, and a brief summary of this note, to that page. Regards, - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 22:01, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
In response to your , I'm not in a position to say whether Elio Garcia has an inflated ego, but he actually is a consultant on the Game of Thrones HBO series. I looked up his and Antonsson's credentials last year when determining whether Westeros.org met Wikipedia's expert criteria for acceptable self-published sources (it does). Whether "series consultant" is the best thing to call Garcia is more subjective, but if you changed it because you thought it wasn't literally true, you can put your mind at rest.
