Sir, This is TheGoodIndian here. I see that my account on Wikispecies has been blocked infinitely, citing vandalism, on 1 March. The vernacular names for a few birds that I had added were reverted immediately. I am both surprised and confused as to what action of mine constituted vandalism. I can assure you that all I have done on this platform has been in good faith. I request you to kindly explain to me what led to this block. Regards, TheGoodIndian ( talk) 14:05, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Evidence. Please add your evidence by March 23, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Jytdog/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
All content, links, and diffs from the original ARC and the latest ARC are being read into the evidence for this case.
The secondary mailing list is in use for this case: arbcom-en-b@wikimedia.org

Hello, Pigsonthewing. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review
Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially
the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow
post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using
Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to
secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status
can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 17:02, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello
I didn’t get an answer to
this, so I thought I would ask direct. You said in your edit summary here, "Plenty of results on Google"; would you care to elaborate?
The search I did for the term showed a load of hits (
over 2 million!), but most of them (that weren’t in German, or were mirrors of the page here) were for the
Imperial Treasury in Vienna only; while the specific searches ('
Rosenborg palace + Schatzkammer', '
St Marks Basilica + Schatzkammer', etc, turned up nothing useful (8, and 5 hits resp.). There's nothing to substantiate the claim being made. Do you have any different results? If so, can you add them to the article? Regards,

I understand your comments when it comes to the RFC—I really do. However, I'm unsure how else this issue can be put to rest other than having an RFC on the matter. While ANI is an option when it comes to Debresser's apparent refusal to accept consensus, which is disruptive, resolving the content dispute through an RFC, hopefully once and for all, is probably still useful.

Hi Andy, your views are clear, but you should formally !vote on this. Johnbod ( talk) 04:42, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Deaths from Coronavirus disease 2019 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Thanks for the tip at COIN; I may have given the company time to scrub unsightly information this time, but in the future I will be certain to archive similar material. Best. SamHolt6 ( talk) 14:29, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
