Thank you again for your comments at The Emperor's New School FAC. I learned a lot from each reviewer, and it was a lot of fun to learn more about the rather obscure show. If I ever do become active on Wikipedia and pursue FACs again, I would be very happy to hear your perspective again.

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/Kudpung. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 28, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Workshop.

This is a warning. Stop to undoing and denial the relation (direct or indirect ) of Sara Braun with selknam genocide , with verified academic sources and arguments given in talk:Sara Braun by various user User:SusunW , User:Gerda_Arendt and me , against your exclusive criteria. Your insistence makes you suspicious of conflicts of interest. Wikipedia is not your personal space. And this is a subject with high sensitivity. -- Fitmoos ( talk) 19:13, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
You are neglecting responsability of genocide. This crime is called concealment. ¿really you wanna be concealment of a genocide ?
(by my doctoral advisor) its called "braun lie") The source from Fitmoos' thesis advisor does not implicate Sara Braun in the genocide either. The best I am able to tell, Fitmoos is stating that the thesis advisor called this "the Braun lie".

SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 20:06, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
But, when i give the opportunity to write the section with your point of view, you deleted the only reference in the article
of the relation of Sara Braun with selknam genocide. A quote to a public document, is not a plagiarism, specially when this document is made for be quote. SandyGeorgia are not trying to reach an agreement. Even under Sara Braun ownership of the company was committed the genocide, no matter what Sara was or no the Adminstrator of the company (compañia explotadora de tierra del fuego).
This is a very controversial topic in Chile and Argentina, for example

Hi Sandy. This edit just popped up on my watchlist, and I'm wondering what it's about. If it's this content ("similar to more commonly recognized conditions such as delusional infestation"), then fair use applies, so no problem. Otherwise, there is still nothing to forbid paraphrasing, but quoting is not forbidden either. Maybe I'm missing your whole point. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 15:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

16:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Thank you for tracking down that watchlist-whitespace-gap "bug" (the one that's fixed by unchecking the "group pages" option). I had the same thing happen to me, like six months ago. I thought I was crazy. One day the whitespace just magically appeared and I couldn't figure out how to make it go away. I started uninstalling scripts, I read a bunch of docs, I couldn't figure it out (and was frankly too embarrassed to ask for help). Finally I concluded that I must have been imagining that it was ever any different. Literally, I thought I was crazy, until I read your thread at VPT. :-) Now the whitespace is gone! Yay! So thank you for asking the questions I was too embarrassed to ask. Leviv ich 18:22, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You have been very helpful, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:20, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

On looking into the examples you gave in connection with Inter-Allied Women's Conference, I see that the foreign name in italics is frequently a result of using Template:Lang which automatically introduces italics unless conditions such as italic=no are used. I'm pretty sure nearly all organizations covered by the template come out incorrectly in italics. Quite a job to correct them all (or simply avoid the template altogether). See, for example, French Confederation of Christian Workers which I am now about to change. I really wonder whether the template default should be no italics, leaving the editor to italicize if necessary.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:04, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Since I found you as the last editor of the Wikipedia Morgellon's Disease page, I am writing to ask if you might be able to consider review of a 2015 medical journal article that describes a study of 25 patients with the Morgellon's syndrome. It is a study dated than many current citations in the current Wikipedia page, published by BMC Dermatology. Rather important, the article outlines identification of spirochetes found in lesions, and keratin strands beneath skin surface. They identified Lyme's related spirochetes and more importantly syphillis spirochetes in the lesions of the test subjects. Some of the test subjects had prior negative test results for Lyme's disease (which should have identified spirochetes.) Since syphillis sexually transmitted disease and many still retain employment that might include health care or contact with public, believing the disease a neurotic manisfestation, and Wikipedia is rather important for its use in understanding clinical diagnosis, I hope that you can consider reviewing the study and adapting the Morgellon's Wikipedia page. Thank you for your time. Here is the link: https://bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12895-015-0023-0 and here is the citation: Middelveen, M.J., Bandoski, C., Burke, J. et al.

If the article doesn't get passed to a FA status, this next will be a moot point, but if it does get passed to FA status - maybe by the end of March or thereabouts, do you think it is possible that it could be the FA for May 18th?

I have been reading and lurking on wikipedia for a while and have noticed a huge trend in how some articles on Venezuela or relating to Venezuelans who have ties to the government get a free pass. I just read an article in the New York Times about a Venezuelan money launderer and yet when I come on wikipedia what I see is that they have, more than likely, a company working on their page. I just joined because I want to help bring some light to this and eliminate puffery and manipualtion. I am not an expert editor so I write to you to find out if you think this is a good idea. I want to start with the article for a guy who keeps popping up in criminal investigations but I don't want to get into a massive edit war.

But, when i give the opportunity to write the section with your point of view, you deleted the only reference in the article
of the relation of Sara Braun with selknam genocide. A quote to a public document, is not a plagiarism, specially when this document is made for be quote. SandyGeorgia are not trying to reach an agreement. Even under Sara Braun ownership of the company was committed the genocide, no matter what Sara was or no the Adminstrator of the company (compañia explotadora de tierra del fuego).
This is a very controversial topic in Chile and Argentina, for example

¿Please, can you do a section of the controversy and the relationship? Only a little section, this is my only request.

Hello. We haven't, as far as I recall, encountered each other on WP hitherto, but I should like to put your mind at rest about my quoting emails from my friend (on WP and IRL) Brian Boulton. Will you please explain to me why he is uniquely exempt from having his private correspondence quoted when countless WP FAs - including BB's - quote the private correspondence of their subjects and others. I realise standards were lower in your day at FAC, but surely even then "releasing a dead person's private [...]mail is the lowest low" would be to disqualify many of the biographical articles that quote dead people's letters. Would you care to explain your protestations of outrage? Best wishes, Tim riley talk 16:43, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

WP:LUNATICS is an essay and basically renders Jimbo's statements about "lunatic charlatans". How I am supposed to link to this essay without others inferring that I am calling editors "lunatics"? If the essay is offensive, it should get deleted, but don't blame me for its existence. Tgeorgescu ( talk) 03:11, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Sandy. This edit just popped up on my watchlist, and I'm wondering what it's about. If it's this content ("similar to more commonly recognized conditions such as delusional infestation"), then fair use applies, so no problem. Otherwise, there is still nothing to forbid paraphrasing, but quoting is not forbidden either. Maybe I'm missing your whole point. -- BullRangifer ( talk) 15:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

16:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)Thank you for tracking down that watchlist-whitespace-gap "bug" (the one that's fixed by unchecking the "group pages" option). I had the same thing happen to me, like six months ago. I thought I was crazy. One day the whitespace just magically appeared and I couldn't figure out how to make it go away. I started uninstalling scripts, I read a bunch of docs, I couldn't figure it out (and was frankly too embarrassed to ask for help). Finally I concluded that I must have been imagining that it was ever any different. Literally, I thought I was crazy, until I read your thread at VPT. :-) Now the whitespace is gone! Yay! So thank you for asking the questions I was too embarrassed to ask. Leviv ich 18:22, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to create some kind of collaborative workspace where coordinators or members of various WikiProjects would gather and provide updates and information on what is going on at each wikiproject, i.e. regarding their latest efforts, projects, and where interested editors can get involved.
You have been very helpful, so I wanted to get your brief input on whether you'd be interested in helping me to make this happen. I see a few possible options for making this happen, so I would like to get your input and feedback on this. which of the options below would you prefer? also, please reply to the brief questions below.
Please feel free to let me know what you think of this idea, and please let me know your preference, regarding the options above. if you do not see any need for this idea, that is totally fine. However, I think that the majority of editors lack awareness of where the truly active editing is taking place and at which WikiProjects, and I would like to do whatever I can to help make people more aware of where the activity is, what they can do to help, and also which areas of Wikipedia offer ideas and efforts that might help them in their own editing activities. Please feel free to let me know. -- Sm8900 ( talk) 05:20, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

On looking into the examples you gave in connection with Inter-Allied Women's Conference, I see that the foreign name in italics is frequently a result of using Template:Lang which automatically introduces italics unless conditions such as italic=no are used. I'm pretty sure nearly all organizations covered by the template come out incorrectly in italics. Quite a job to correct them all (or simply avoid the template altogether). See, for example, French Confederation of Christian Workers which I am now about to change. I really wonder whether the template default should be no italics, leaving the editor to italicize if necessary.-- Ipigott ( talk) 11:04, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Since I found you as the last editor of the Wikipedia Morgellon's Disease page, I am writing to ask if you might be able to consider review of a 2015 medical journal article that describes a study of 25 patients with the Morgellon's syndrome. It is a study dated than many current citations in the current Wikipedia page, published by BMC Dermatology. Rather important, the article outlines identification of spirochetes found in lesions, and keratin strands beneath skin surface. They identified Lyme's related spirochetes and more importantly syphillis spirochetes in the lesions of the test subjects. Some of the test subjects had prior negative test results for Lyme's disease (which should have identified spirochetes.) Since syphillis sexually transmitted disease and many still retain employment that might include health care or contact with public, believing the disease a neurotic manisfestation, and Wikipedia is rather important for its use in understanding clinical diagnosis, I hope that you can consider reviewing the study and adapting the Morgellon's Wikipedia page. Thank you for your time. Here is the link: https://bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12895-015-0023-0 and here is the citation: Middelveen, M.J., Bandoski, C., Burke, J. et al.

Hi there, just wanted to thank you for your detailed comments on this article at FAC. Admittedly I read your initial comment, "there are prose issues", with some trepidation, given that vague concerns over prose have sometime been the downfall of candidacies. But the comments that (subsequently) followed have clearly helped improve the article, and have been fun to work through. -- Usernameunique ( talk) 07:36, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

There is a more recent and - arguably - more impactful recent publication that made it past peer review and was also based on delusional observations, like the Traver paper, and SHelomi also published on this case: Shelomi, Matan (2013). "Evidence of photo manipulation in a delusional parasitosis paper" (PDF).

Can the lead section of Tourette syndrome be ordered based on all other major medical articles ( Autism, Cancer, Huntington's disease) and the contents of the body, as specified in WP:MEDORDER (Definition + symptoms, cause + diagnosis, management + prognosis, epidemiology + history + society & culture)?

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article and Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article#Separate issue and was wondering about TFA's and the timeliness of them etc As you may or may not know May 18th is the anniversary of the Bath School disaster. If the article doesn't get passed to a FA status, this next will be a moot point, but if it does get passed to FA status - maybe by the end of March or thereabouts, do you think it is possible that it could be the FA for May 18th? I know, I know...probably too much to ask for but I didn't realize FA-of the Day was done so far in advance. Just wondering. If this year isn't possible there's always 2021. And 2022...

I have been reading and lurking on wikipedia for a while and have noticed a huge trend in how some articles on Venezuela or relating to Venezuelans who have ties to the government get a free pass. I just read an article in the New York Times about a Venezuelan money launderer and yet when I come on wikipedia what I see is that they have, more than likely, a company working on their page. I just joined because I want to help bring some light to this and eliminate puffery and manipualtion. I am not an expert editor so I write to you to find out if you think this is a good idea. I want to start with the article for a guy who keeps popping up in criminal investigations but I don't want to get into a massive edit war. Do you have any advice? thanks Quarantineer ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:46, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
