Hello, I'm working on the article Vassieux-en-Vercors and the info box is just enormous. I've looked at other pages and their info boxes are much slimmer. Ireland is one. Can we shrink this down to size so it's not compressing the page? Thanks. Malke 2010 ( talk) 16:52, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
HI, I'm back on briefly. Good luck with getting Mr. Grumpy to alter it! If I know Markussep rightly he'll refuse to make any ammendent to it and claim it is fine... Would love your help with Burma and photos!♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
It has to do with context. If someone says, "That's an American," it's most likely someone from the states. However, if one titles a written work Butterflies in America, many would think it might have to do with butterflies in continental North and South America: Butterflies in the Americas or Butterflies in the United States would be the spot on titles, to skirt any misunderstanding. Hence, the article shouldn't be renamed, the name of the country is the United States, anything else would be ambiguous. Gwen Gale ( talk) 17:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
I think you're missing something. This edit "want pic smaller; more room for lede" made the image *larger*, not smaller. And the image belongs in the infobox. The infobox has 270 baked-in for image sizes and if you want to change that get consensus on the talk. Before you mess with things, again, please explain how 270 is so 'huge'. It's only a tad larger than is quite typical. Are you on a machine with really low res video? FYI, I'm seeing a lede that doesn't even reach as far right as the infobox.

Hi, I have a question. In listing an AfD, what is the category letter for Christianity and Catholic related articles? Thanks. Malke 2010 ( talk) 17:23, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
As you and I rightly noted, there were process problems on the deletion of the "Catholic views......." article. But I also noted some other things. One is a consensus (at least amongst the folks present) that there were too many closely related Marian articles. I also noted that I believe that you have both expertise and interest in coverage in this area. I lack expertise in this area, so please feel free to tell me to go pound sand, but is there any chance that you could suggest something to move the Marian article(s) as a whole onward an upward, even if that meant leaving the "Catholic views...." article behind? Just a thought, please ignore if I am out of line. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 23:44, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I began using Wikipedia to occasionally research information about things back when I was in school, and I still occasionally use it for personal insight to miscellaneous subjects I'm interested in at the time. I only know how to use Wikipedia for research purposes, and I've never even made an account. However, today while I was researching something, there was a link at the top of the page saying I had received a message. It appears as follows:
User talk:70.178.119.43 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search [edit] March 2010.
Information.svg Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia as you did to Rebecca Gayheart. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please note that Wikipedia administrators can block editors who engage in vandalism and other disruptive behavior. Thank you.Malke2010 04:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Like I stated, I'm not very versed in using Wikipedia. I'm not even quite sure if I'm sending you a message correctly. At the bottom of the message where it states "Malke", I assumed this meant you sent that message to me. If so, I'd like to inform you that you're incorrect because I've never edited any article, nor have I even been to Rebecca Gayheart's Wikipedia Article, nor do I even know or desire to know who she is. That being said, you must have confused my IP address with that of another user.
If I am, in fact, wrong about how I received this message, then I completely apologize for bothering you and thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my concern. Yet, if you did send me this message, this is my reply:
Please refrain from sending counterproductive* messages to users as you did to me. Your message appears to constitute an arrogant presumption and should be retracted. If you would like to ensure your presumptions are targeted at the correct user, please don't rely on IP addresses alone, for they can be confused; i.e. shared computers. Please note that I have never edited an article, so I must not have engaged in vandalism and other disruptive behavior while not editing the articles that I never edited. Therefore, Wikipedia administrators should not block me because I'm not an editor, but if they choose to anyway-- I'll survive by gaining information elsewhere. Thank you.
* "Counterproductive" is an example of a better choice word in this sentence because "unconstructive" isn't a word.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
What do you mean when you say there's no such thing as the age of consent? Obviously the reason talking to these teens is illegal is because there underage, that's why I added the age of sexual consent comment. In most states if they were 16 or older it wouldn't be a problem. And Dateline stops at age 15. That's why I was clarifying that they're talking about young teens. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 04:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Well I used to think the age limit was 18 in every state and two of the users Legitimus and Flyer22 told me I was wrong and that a handful of states have it at 16 or 17. And the text of the laws seems to indicate that they are correct. Are you telling me their wrong? I'm confused, first Legitimus calls me a liar for saying its 18 in every state now you call me a liar for saying it isn't which is it, its almost as if wikipedia intentionally contradicts itself? -- RJR3333 ( talk) 01:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Even if what you said is true and its 18 in all countries then 18 is the age limit for sex. There's still an age of consent. But you still have not shown me where in Indiana or Georgia it says that. I've asked you for a source other than tradition and you have not provided one. And if its 18 in Georgia then why did the legislature consider raising it to 18 in 2005. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 02:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Just one closing thought, if you're taking it upon yourself to take down my edit because you say all countries have an age limit for sex of 18 then you should be willing to research the issue to see if you're incorrect. By which I mean for you to say you're not interested in the article age of consent in North America for sex is kind of ridiculous. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 03:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to create an article on José Padilla the Honduran/U.S. immigrant. Right now his name redirects to the famous Supreme Court case Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. How can I un-direct it so I can put up the article? I think he's noteworthy enough to have his own article because of the landmark decision in his case and also to make a distinction from the several other Jose Padilla articles on Wikipedia.

Delete of course means to simply delete the article as normal, but adding salt means:
Although you have not said so specifically, it may be that your immediate attack on me when I reminded editors of civility was due to stress resulting from the continued toxic environment on the TPM article and talk page. You've stated you would prefer to edit TROUBLES articles because "the difference is night and day" due to editors being under a tighter constraint. [5] So my evidence may be more about the toxic environment rather than your actions, although those actions were less than stellar. Please feel free to link to this post of mine when you post your evidence. I'm not at all certain whether sanctions are indicated in your case; but I do think your actions on the TPM talk page were less than you are capable of. I'm not an Arb, but if you simply say words to the effect of "yeah, could have been more civil, will be in the future" I don't forsee any action being taken regarding your actions, and I think that would close the issue so far as I am concerned.

Hello, Malke 2010. Thank you for your recent submission of evidence for the Tea Party movement Arbitration case. As you may be aware, the Arbitration Committee asks that users submitting evidence in cases adhere to limits regarding the length of their submissions. These limits, currently at 1000 words and 100 diffs for parties and 500 words and 50 diffs for all others, are in place to ensure that the Arbitration Committee receives only the most important information relevant to the case, and is able to determine an appropriate course of action in a reasonable amount of time. The evidence you have submitted currently exceeds at least one of these limits, and is presently at 1118 words and 20 diffs. Please try to reduce the length of your submission to fit within these limits; this guide may be able to provide some help in doing so. If the length of your evidence is not reduced soon, it may be refactored or removed by a human clerk within a few days. Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the case, please contact the drafting Arbitrator or case clerk (who are listed on the case pages); if you have any questions or concerns about this bot, please contact the operator.

Hi, Malke! I'm a little bit confused about some comments you have made concerning me; maybe you can help me understand. Specifically, these statements at the TPm ArbCom pages have me concerned:
Here, you've stated that I "contribute on a regular basis to the problems on the article". I disagree with that, obviously, and your assertion actually takes me by surprise. Unfortunately, since you have not cited any evidence or provided substantiation, there is no way for me to address this accusation -- that comes off as a bit unfair. Could you please direct me to the contributions of mine upon which you are basing that charge?
Nearly daily? I've edited the article on only 13 days over the past 7+ months (~220 days), and sporadically before that, usually when substantive discussion arises. I understand that your point was that I am a relatively regular contributor there, which is accurate, but "nearly daily" makes it sound as if I virtually live there -- but this is a minor quibble. My real objection is to your assertion that, "the article has not improved and working together to improve it doesn't seem to factor into talk page discussions. Banning one editor won't solve that." I can't speak for other editors, about which your criticism may be valid, but working together toward article improvement has always factored into my talk page discussions. Just a few of a great many examples:
Even editors with whom I frequently disagree have acknowledged that my goal is article improvement:
I can cite numerous additional examples of my efforts toward article improvement, if needed, including one-on-one discussions toward that end with North8000 on his Talk page; outlines of reliable source identification, RfC development, etc. Can you see why your newest assertion has taken me by surprise? You are mostly correct when you say, "Xenophrenic's arguments and edit wars today are the same ones they had back in 2010", since even today I find myself arguing that article content needs to be supported by reliable sources, or arguing against the notion that one TP supporter's views are more or less relevant than another TP supporter's views. But I fail to see how you make the leap to "Banning one editor won't solve that." Solve what? What, specifically, prompts you to call for my banning? I noticed that you amended, almost as an afterthought, your above comment to include this:
What? Where did that come from? Just last month, didn't you comment about me, saying:
If you have recently changed your mind and come to a different conclusion, I would appreciate it if you would indicate what actions of mine prompted this new charge against me; as of this moment, you have left it unsubstantiated. I've heard similar unsubstantiated charges from North8000, and briefly from Arthur Rubin, but after pressed for substantiation, North admitted that it was just a belief of his that might be "wrong", and that he would prefer to "leave behind and not discuss further", and Arthur couldn't substantiate it either. You were right when you observed that I am determined rather than tendentious; sometimes frustratingly so to editors trying to skirt Wikipedia policies or push agendas, but if you've had a recent change of heart, at least do me the courtesy of clueing me in on what prompted it.
The above statement from you seems mostly about Goethean, since you reference a specific dispute involving him and not me, and you reference a specific admission from him and not me, and you mention a specific comment of his and not mine. But you did toss my name in there as well, again without substantiation. I would like to ask you for that substantiation. Regards, Xenophrenic ( talk) 22:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion to get consensus on finding and addressing the main points of contention on the article, and moving the article to a stable and useful condition. As you are a significant contributor to the article, your involvement in the discussion would be valued and helpful. As the discussion is currently looking at removing a substantial amount of material, it would be appropriate for you to check to see what material is being proposed for removal, in case you have any concerns about this. If you feel you would rather not get involved right now, that is fine; however, if you later decide to get involved and directly edit the article to reverse any consensus decisions, that might be seen as disruptive. Re-opening discussion, however, may be acceptable; though you may find few people willing to re-engage in such a discussion, and if there are repeated attempts to re-open discussion on the same points, that also could be seen as disruptive. The best time to get involved is right now. SilkTork ✔Tea time 08:29, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

You took part in a discussion that dealt with
user:Arzel, which took place
here. There was a clear community consensus for a topic ban for
user:Arzel. Many of the issue fell outside of discussion on TPM. With such a large community consensus and with arbitration committee only dealing with issues directly related to the TPM, I went ahead and started a
WP:RFC/U,
here. You are invited to endorse this and to take part in the
WP:RFC/U.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New-adult fiction until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Orange Mike | Talk 00:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The discussion in the "Content discussion, resumed" section got out of hand, so I have closed it. A number of contributors to that discussion wandered away from commenting on the content into commenting on the contributor. I would ask that everyone make a special effort to word what they say carefully. Comments such as "I think we should seriously consider Arthur's suggestion that we vote to ban Xenophrenic from this page, and I'd add we should vote on whether to topic ban him from Tea Party movement. It's obvious he is not here to edit in a collegial way, nor he is interested in neutral POV. His personal attacks, battles, and disruption are directly opposing the work here and hence, the work on the article", are unhelpful and provoke negative responses.
At this point it might be better if anyone has concerns about the behaviour of anyone else in the discussion, that they bring those concerns direct to me rather than raise them on the discussion page. SilkTork ✔Tea time 12:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
The tags are not there to mark socks/meatpuppets - they give context to anyone wishing to add to/close the discussion. Please do not remove them again.

I saw your request in the Article Rescue Squadron talk page for people to examine this article. I did and decided to register a 'keep' vote. I did so, because I examined the article and many of the sources and I agree the subject should have its own page. Decided not to say anything on the Squadron talk page after someone made a comment about what I had said in another discussion. I always look at the subject's merits, or lack thereof, presented in each AfD discussion and vote my views. Bill Pollard ( talk) 03:53, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Moderated Discussion at Tea Party movementLet me say from the beginning that this is not canvassing. This is an attempt, with the best of intentions for Wikipedia, to resolve a problem.
May 2013
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that the Tea Party Movement case be suspended until the end of June 2013 to allow time for the Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion. Pages relating to the Tea Party movement, in any namespace, broadly construed, are placed under discretionary sanctions until further notice.

Problematic editIt appears the edit you are concerned about took place on another page unrelated to the Tea Party. Please do not bring up matters unrelated to the Tea Party on the discussion page - if you have concerns about other editors there are venues for that. If you feel it might relate to matters regarding the Tea Party then you know that the procedure is to approach me directly. This is a warning not to do such a thing again or you will be blocked. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for contacting me. I am now aware of the incident on the Tea Party page, and have given a warning for that.

Thanks for your contribution to the above debate. I certainly agree that the article contains substantial amounts of original research, but I felt that your suggestion that it was a WP:HOAX was probably a little unfair. From personal knowledge I can confirm that a great deal of what's included in the article as written is true, and where I don't have personal knowledge the claims are largely consistent with what little critical opinion there is on this subject. The problem, as you mentioned, is the lack of references. I'm expecting the article to be deleted, and will probably recommend that course of action myself, but I feel that describing the article as BS was less than fair. Thanks.

I agree.thank you, once more-- Ozzie10aaaa ( talk) 23:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC) Discussions, :-)Hi SW3 5DL I tried a bit to understand the conflict we have between the authors. But this is really difficult, I thing it started when authors said, "No do not do this edit." And then the discussion started not to focus on content and arguments but on the contributors. "Do this maverick", "You should have locked into a dictionary", You should read first before you start editing, ... Then one personal statement causes the next. I myself was frustated when I mentioned an interesting idea, and a reply on the talk page was, "We should not take this article serious, a 3rd grade could have done it better". I see only one solution, make only comments focussed on content. Stop saying, what is believed, that the other person is. We do not know. This is an anonymous medium. And the moderators where already activated, so I propose to keep calm and wait how they decide. My opinion is, that they are very reluctant to delete the new pages. So I said to me, let me start to work on the new pages. But if they are deleted, I will write about Guinea on the main article. When I see how much is written on Sierra Leone, I would say, the next split at least to a Combined Guinea/Sierra Leone/Liberia Page is not far. And contrary to some authors, Guinea appears to me quite different from Liberia. And reminding myself of the letter to the editor, I just mentioned on this page.

ARBITRATION REPORT
Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?
By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS).

IN THE MEDIA
Breitbart Versus Wikipedia
By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT
WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire
By Lionelt WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH
Research About AN/I
By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a " boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)Delivered: 09:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Peace Dove Christmas![]()

HI, I'm back on briefly. Good luck with getting Mr. Grumpy to alter it! If I know Markussep rightly he'll refuse to make any ammendent to it and claim it is fine... Would love your help with Burma and photos!♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:08, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
It has to do with context. If someone says, "That's an American," it's most likely someone from the states. However, if one titles a written work Butterflies in America, many would think it might have to do with butterflies in continental North and South America: Butterflies in the Americas or Butterflies in the United States would be the spot on titles, to skirt any misunderstanding. Hence, the article shouldn't be renamed, the name of the country is the United States, anything else would be ambiguous. Gwen Gale ( talk) 17:16, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
I think you're missing something. This edit "want pic smaller; more room for lede" made the image *larger*, not smaller. And the image belongs in the infobox. The infobox has 270 baked-in for image sizes and if you want to change that get consensus on the talk. Before you mess with things, again, please explain how 270 is so 'huge'. It's only a tad larger than is quite typical. Are you on a machine with really low res video? FYI, I'm seeing a lede that doesn't even reach as far right as the infobox.

Hi, I have a question. In listing an AfD, what is the category letter for Christianity and Catholic related articles? Thanks. Malke 2010 ( talk) 17:23, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
As you and I rightly noted, there were process problems on the deletion of the "Catholic views......." article. But I also noted some other things. One is a consensus (at least amongst the folks present) that there were too many closely related Marian articles. I also noted that I believe that you have both expertise and interest in coverage in this area. I lack expertise in this area, so please feel free to tell me to go pound sand, but is there any chance that you could suggest something to move the Marian article(s) as a whole onward an upward, even if that meant leaving the "Catholic views...." article behind? Just a thought, please ignore if I am out of line. Sincerely, North8000 ( talk) 23:44, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I began using Wikipedia to occasionally research information about things back when I was in school, and I still occasionally use it for personal insight to miscellaneous subjects I'm interested in at the time. I only know how to use Wikipedia for research purposes, and I've never even made an account. However, today while I was researching something, there was a link at the top of the page saying I had received a message. It appears as follows:
User talk:70.178.119.43 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search [edit] March 2010.
Information.svg Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia as you did to Rebecca Gayheart. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please note that Wikipedia administrators can block editors who engage in vandalism and other disruptive behavior. Thank you.Malke2010 04:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Like I stated, I'm not very versed in using Wikipedia. I'm not even quite sure if I'm sending you a message correctly. At the bottom of the message where it states "Malke", I assumed this meant you sent that message to me. If so, I'd like to inform you that you're incorrect because I've never edited any article, nor have I even been to Rebecca Gayheart's Wikipedia Article, nor do I even know or desire to know who she is. That being said, you must have confused my IP address with that of another user.
If I am, in fact, wrong about how I received this message, then I completely apologize for bothering you and thank you for taking the time to acknowledge my concern. Yet, if you did send me this message, this is my reply:
Please refrain from sending counterproductive* messages to users as you did to me. Your message appears to constitute an arrogant presumption and should be retracted. If you would like to ensure your presumptions are targeted at the correct user, please don't rely on IP addresses alone, for they can be confused; i.e. shared computers. Please note that I have never edited an article, so I must not have engaged in vandalism and other disruptive behavior while not editing the articles that I never edited. Therefore, Wikipedia administrators should not block me because I'm not an editor, but if they choose to anyway-- I'll survive by gaining information elsewhere. Thank you.
* "Counterproductive" is an example of a better choice word in this sentence because "unconstructive" isn't a word.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
What do you mean when you say there's no such thing as the age of consent? Obviously the reason talking to these teens is illegal is because there underage, that's why I added the age of sexual consent comment. In most states if they were 16 or older it wouldn't be a problem. And Dateline stops at age 15. That's why I was clarifying that they're talking about young teens. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 04:39, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Well I used to think the age limit was 18 in every state and two of the users Legitimus and Flyer22 told me I was wrong and that a handful of states have it at 16 or 17. And the text of the laws seems to indicate that they are correct. Are you telling me their wrong? I'm confused, first Legitimus calls me a liar for saying its 18 in every state now you call me a liar for saying it isn't which is it, its almost as if wikipedia intentionally contradicts itself? -- RJR3333 ( talk) 01:13, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Even if what you said is true and its 18 in all countries then 18 is the age limit for sex. There's still an age of consent. But you still have not shown me where in Indiana or Georgia it says that. I've asked you for a source other than tradition and you have not provided one. And if its 18 in Georgia then why did the legislature consider raising it to 18 in 2005. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 02:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Just one closing thought, if you're taking it upon yourself to take down my edit because you say all countries have an age limit for sex of 18 then you should be willing to research the issue to see if you're incorrect. By which I mean for you to say you're not interested in the article age of consent in North America for sex is kind of ridiculous. -- RJR3333 ( talk) 03:22, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to create an article on José Padilla the Honduran/U.S. immigrant. Right now his name redirects to the famous Supreme Court case Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky. How can I un-direct it so I can put up the article? I think he's noteworthy enough to have his own article because of the landmark decision in his case and also to make a distinction from the several other Jose Padilla articles on Wikipedia.

Delete of course means to simply delete the article as normal, but adding salt means:
Although you have not said so specifically, it may be that your immediate attack on me when I reminded editors of civility was due to stress resulting from the continued toxic environment on the TPM article and talk page. You've stated you would prefer to edit TROUBLES articles because "the difference is night and day" due to editors being under a tighter constraint. [5] So my evidence may be more about the toxic environment rather than your actions, although those actions were less than stellar. Please feel free to link to this post of mine when you post your evidence. I'm not at all certain whether sanctions are indicated in your case; but I do think your actions on the TPM talk page were less than you are capable of. I'm not an Arb, but if you simply say words to the effect of "yeah, could have been more civil, will be in the future" I don't forsee any action being taken regarding your actions, and I think that would close the issue so far as I am concerned.

Hello, Malke 2010. Thank you for your recent submission of evidence for the Tea Party movement Arbitration case. As you may be aware, the Arbitration Committee asks that users submitting evidence in cases adhere to limits regarding the length of their submissions. These limits, currently at 1000 words and 100 diffs for parties and 500 words and 50 diffs for all others, are in place to ensure that the Arbitration Committee receives only the most important information relevant to the case, and is able to determine an appropriate course of action in a reasonable amount of time. The evidence you have submitted currently exceeds at least one of these limits, and is presently at 1118 words and 20 diffs. Please try to reduce the length of your submission to fit within these limits; this guide may be able to provide some help in doing so. If the length of your evidence is not reduced soon, it may be refactored or removed by a human clerk within a few days. Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the case, please contact the drafting Arbitrator or case clerk (who are listed on the case pages); if you have any questions or concerns about this bot, please contact the operator.

Hi, Malke! I'm a little bit confused about some comments you have made concerning me; maybe you can help me understand. Specifically, these statements at the TPm ArbCom pages have me concerned:
Here, you've stated that I "contribute on a regular basis to the problems on the article". I disagree with that, obviously, and your assertion actually takes me by surprise. Unfortunately, since you have not cited any evidence or provided substantiation, there is no way for me to address this accusation -- that comes off as a bit unfair. Could you please direct me to the contributions of mine upon which you are basing that charge?
Nearly daily? I've edited the article on only 13 days over the past 7+ months (~220 days), and sporadically before that, usually when substantive discussion arises. I understand that your point was that I am a relatively regular contributor there, which is accurate, but "nearly daily" makes it sound as if I virtually live there -- but this is a minor quibble. My real objection is to your assertion that, "the article has not improved and working together to improve it doesn't seem to factor into talk page discussions. Banning one editor won't solve that." I can't speak for other editors, about which your criticism may be valid, but working together toward article improvement has always factored into my talk page discussions. Just a few of a great many examples:
Even editors with whom I frequently disagree have acknowledged that my goal is article improvement:
I can cite numerous additional examples of my efforts toward article improvement, if needed, including one-on-one discussions toward that end with North8000 on his Talk page; outlines of reliable source identification, RfC development, etc. Can you see why your newest assertion has taken me by surprise? You are mostly correct when you say, "Xenophrenic's arguments and edit wars today are the same ones they had back in 2010", since even today I find myself arguing that article content needs to be supported by reliable sources, or arguing against the notion that one TP supporter's views are more or less relevant than another TP supporter's views. But I fail to see how you make the leap to "Banning one editor won't solve that." Solve what? What, specifically, prompts you to call for my banning? I noticed that you amended, almost as an afterthought, your above comment to include this:
What? Where did that come from? Just last month, didn't you comment about me, saying:
If you have recently changed your mind and come to a different conclusion, I would appreciate it if you would indicate what actions of mine prompted this new charge against me; as of this moment, you have left it unsubstantiated. I've heard similar unsubstantiated charges from North8000, and briefly from Arthur Rubin, but after pressed for substantiation, North admitted that it was just a belief of his that might be "wrong", and that he would prefer to "leave behind and not discuss further", and Arthur couldn't substantiate it either. You were right when you observed that I am determined rather than tendentious; sometimes frustratingly so to editors trying to skirt Wikipedia policies or push agendas, but if you've had a recent change of heart, at least do me the courtesy of clueing me in on what prompted it.
The above statement from you seems mostly about Goethean, since you reference a specific dispute involving him and not me, and you reference a specific admission from him and not me, and you mention a specific comment of his and not mine. But you did toss my name in there as well, again without substantiation. I would like to ask you for that substantiation. Regards, Xenophrenic ( talk) 22:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

This is twice now I've seen you able to take criticism and self-correct instead of getting defensive. That can be hard to do. Kudos. Killer Chihuahua 16:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC) |

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion to get consensus on finding and addressing the main points of contention on the article, and moving the article to a stable and useful condition. As you are a significant contributor to the article, your involvement in the discussion would be valued and helpful. As the discussion is currently looking at removing a substantial amount of material, it would be appropriate for you to check to see what material is being proposed for removal, in case you have any concerns about this. If you feel you would rather not get involved right now, that is fine; however, if you later decide to get involved and directly edit the article to reverse any consensus decisions, that might be seen as disruptive. Re-opening discussion, however, may be acceptable; though you may find few people willing to re-engage in such a discussion, and if there are repeated attempts to re-open discussion on the same points, that also could be seen as disruptive. The best time to get involved is right now. SilkTork ✔Tea time 08:29, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

You took part in a discussion that dealt with
user:Arzel, which took place
here. There was a clear community consensus for a topic ban for
user:Arzel. Many of the issue fell outside of discussion on TPM. With such a large community consensus and with arbitration committee only dealing with issues directly related to the TPM, I went ahead and started a
WP:RFC/U,
here. You are invited to endorse this and to take part in the
WP:RFC/U.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New-adult fiction until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Orange Mike | Talk 00:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The discussion in the "Content discussion, resumed" section got out of hand, so I have closed it. A number of contributors to that discussion wandered away from commenting on the content into commenting on the contributor. I would ask that everyone make a special effort to word what they say carefully. Comments such as "I think we should seriously consider Arthur's suggestion that we vote to ban Xenophrenic from this page, and I'd add we should vote on whether to topic ban him from Tea Party movement. It's obvious he is not here to edit in a collegial way, nor he is interested in neutral POV. His personal attacks, battles, and disruption are directly opposing the work here and hence, the work on the article", are unhelpful and provoke negative responses.
At this point it might be better if anyone has concerns about the behaviour of anyone else in the discussion, that they bring those concerns direct to me rather than raise them on the discussion page. SilkTork ✔Tea time 12:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
The tags are not there to mark socks/meatpuppets - they give context to anyone wishing to add to/close the discussion. Please do not remove them again. I'm leaving on a trip, so I won't really be able to respond for the next few weeks, but remember that the more you cite WP:AGF, the less you are actually following WP:AGF (see Carbonite's law).

I saw your request in the Article Rescue Squadron talk page for people to examine this article. I did and decided to register a 'keep' vote. I did so, because I examined the article and many of the sources and I agree the subject should have its own page. Decided not to say anything on the Squadron talk page after someone made a comment about what I had said in another discussion. I always look at the subject's merits, or lack thereof, presented in each AfD discussion and vote my views. Bill Pollard ( talk) 03:53, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Regarding Moderated Discussion at Tea Party movementLet me say from the beginning that this is not canvassing. This is an attempt, with the best of intentions for Wikipedia, to resolve a problem.
May 2013
The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that the Tea Party Movement case be suspended until the end of June 2013 to allow time for the Tea Party movement/Moderated discussion. Pages relating to the Tea Party movement, in any namespace, broadly construed, are placed under discretionary sanctions until further notice.

Problematic editIt appears the edit you are concerned about took place on another page unrelated to the Tea Party. Please do not bring up matters unrelated to the Tea Party on the discussion page - if you have concerns about other editors there are venues for that. If you feel it might relate to matters regarding the Tea Party then you know that the procedure is to approach me directly. This is a warning not to do such a thing again or you will be blocked. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:56, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for contacting me. I am now aware of the incident on the Tea Party page, and have given a warning for that. I apologise to you for issuing the above warning before being fully aware of the facts. However, the caution to bring such concerns directly to me rather than raising them on the talkpage remains.

Thanks for your contribution to the above debate. I certainly agree that the article contains substantial amounts of original research, but I felt that your suggestion that it was a WP:HOAX was probably a little unfair. From personal knowledge I can confirm that a great deal of what's included in the article as written is true, and where I don't have personal knowledge the claims are largely consistent with what little critical opinion there is on this subject. The problem, as you mentioned, is the lack of references. I'm expecting the article to be deleted, and will probably recommend that course of action myself, but I feel that describing the article as BS was less than fair. Thanks.

I agree.thank you, once more-- Ozzie10aaaa ( talk) 23:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC) Discussions, :-)Hi SW3 5DL I tried a bit to understand the conflict we have between the authors. But this is really difficult, I thing it started when authors said, "No do not do this edit." And then the discussion started not to focus on content and arguments but on the contributors. "Do this maverick", "You should have locked into a dictionary", You should read first before you start editing, ... Then one personal statement causes the next. I myself was frustated when I mentioned an interesting idea, and a reply on the talk page was, "We should not take this article serious, a 3rd grade could have done it better". I see only one solution, make only comments focussed on content. Stop saying, what is believed, that the other person is. We do not know. This is an anonymous medium. And the moderators where already activated, so I propose to keep calm and wait how they decide. My opinion is, that they are very reluctant to delete the new pages. So I said to me, let me start to work on the new pages. But if they are deleted, I will write about Guinea on the main article. When I see how much is written on Sierra Leone, I would say, the next split at least to a Combined Guinea/Sierra Leone/Liberia Page is not far. And contrary to some authors, Guinea appears to me quite different from Liberia. And reminding myself of the letter to the editor, I just mentioned on this page.

ARBITRATION REPORT
Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?
By Lionelt After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO. Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS).

IN THE MEDIA
Breitbart Versus Wikipedia
By Lionelt Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT
WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire
By Lionelt WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline. At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red." Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH
Research About AN/I
By Lionelt Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a " boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)Delivered: 09:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC) Peace Dove Christmas![]()
