Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2016 is where you can go to see who is running and what they stand for. One thing to remember is that you don't need to vote support for seven choices. It's OK to have a seat or two vacant. Vote neutral or oppose as the need be. 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸 (talk) 20:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Sir Joseph.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

Hi Sir Joseph,
I'm super new to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I'm not following certain standards... I would just like to know why you did not consider salto-youth a reliable source: It is part of a national agency of the European Commission, which in return is a political institution that belongs to the European Union. Since salto-youth is in charge of the European Training Strategy, this is the source that I have to use for information about it. Is there a tip you could give me for clarifying this better in the article?
Thank you, Luzn_O

Hello,
You reverted my changes that were intended to unify the transliterations of hebrew pronunciation of names into english. For example, in line 5, there is "Baal HaTanya ve-haShulchan Aruch', "Admor HaZaken", i.e. the sephardi pronunciation and next: "Rabbeinu HaZokein", "Rabbeinu HaGodol" i.e. one of the different ashkenazi pronunciations (not even the lubavitch one which is "hagodeil"!). I think it is important to use a consistent and constant system of transliteration, and since the sephardi one is the most widespread and prevailing, it is the one that should be used.
"Sipurie" doesn't exist in hebrew: it's either "sipure" or "sipurei".
In the reference "hayomyom" at the date of the 7th of shvat it is written that he was 12 years old: ז שבט בהיות אדמו"ר הזקן בן תשע שנה למד חכמת ההנדסה והתכונה. בן עשר - סדר לוח על חמש עשרה שנה. בהיותו בן שנים עשר נזדמן שלמד ברבים הלכות קדוש החדש להרמב"ם, ולא מצאו הגאונים, שהיו באותו מעמד, ידיהם ורגליהם בבית המדרש. Therefore that was not his bar-mitwah speech.
I don't understand why you reverted my " accession of Tsar Alexander I ( Alexander I of Russia) to the throne" to the former "elevation". What is the meaning of "elevating" someone?
I hope you therefore will revert to my revision.

Hello, Sir Joseph. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. I have sought administrator input into the lack of mention in the article that an accident by a car in the police-led motorcade of Schneerson caused the death of a Black child, and triggered the riots, and that he had no comment on the events or the death of a Black child. I have faced recurrent deletion of well sourced material by Kemal Tebaast, Debresser, and Bus Stop. They do not seek to resolve the issue. This is due to a bias by these editors to delete mention of this events linked to Schneerson. Rococo1700 ( talk) 03:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with removing a heading for Crown Heights riot from the article. I strongly urge some other compromise. Change the title, or move a subsection to another part of the article. My strong opposition to your move is listed in the talk section. Rococo1700 ( talk) 15:52, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sir Joseph,
I just received your message notifying me that you undid my recent edits to the Electoral Reform article. Would you be so kind as to elaborate as to the reasons that my edits were not acceptable (I'm very new to editing Wikipedia articles)? I did not remove any content, but simply updated the page with information about the recent Prince Edward Island plebiscite on electoral reform and about the Green Party of Canada resolution adopting Mixed Member Proportional Representation as its preferred voting model, and I provided citations for both of these additions. Please let me know what I may have done wrong. Thanks! - Jordanbober ( talk) 19:38, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Jordan Bober
Sorry about that Joseph, and thanks for letting me know what happened! Jordan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordanbober ( talk • contribs) 19:28, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Last time I read the talkpage of Schneerson, at most the number of people in favor was equal to the number of people against. That does not make consensus for such controversial material. Keep in mind that the burden of proof for consensus is on the party that wants to add the material. Especially since I am now convinced Rococo1700 is having competence issues. Simply put, I think he's 1. a bit obsessed with this issue 2. not completely adequate. Debresser ( talk) 00:14, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Well, I'm not the one who moved the category. I moved the articles, yes, but the category move had already been done.
I take your point, but the problem is...well, everything else in Category:American Jews by occupation follows that pattern, so this category was an outlier.

It says citation required for Reza Aslan's connection to Council on Foreign Relations. That is deceptive claim that cannot be edited since the article is protected.

SirJoseph -
I'm sitting on a collection of CC licensed primary Jewish texts. I think that there are many articles that would benefit from linking to complete versions of the text described in the article. I have a COI on the matter - I work for Sefaria, and help to digitize, correct, interlink, and generally steward these resources.
I tried to get WikiProject Judaism involved, but there's been no response or uptake over there. Sefaria Resources - COI
Perhaps you can help me get this ball rolling? (or am I going about this the wrong way?)

Hi Sir Joseph,
Thousands, if not millions, of reliable sources could be cited for the statement that Israel was established in the aftermath of the Holocaust (not "the context of the aftermath of the Holocaust", whatever that means). Likewise, millions of sources could be cited for a statement that Israel was established in southeastwest Asia. The bigger question is, what do they have to do with religion in Israel, the subject of the article?
Also, your reversion removed a two-year-old {{ cn}} tag from the phrase "safe from persecution". Please provide a source for it or restore the tag.
Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 03:37, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Vote neutral or oppose as the need be. 🔯 Sir Joseph 🍸 (talk) 20:16, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Sir Joseph. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi Sir Joseph,
I'm super new to Wikipedia so please forgive me if I'm not following certain standards... I would just like to know why you did not consider salto-youth a reliable source: It is part of a national agency of the European Commission, which in return is a political institution that belongs to the European Union. Since salto-youth is in charge of the European Training Strategy, this is the source that I have to use for information about it. Is there a tip you could give me for clarifying this better in the article?
Thank you, Luzn_O

Hello,
You reverted my changes that were intended to unify the transliterations of hebrew pronunciation of names into english. For example, in line 5, there is "Baal HaTanya ve-haShulchan Aruch', "Admor HaZaken", i.e. the sephardi pronunciation and next: "Rabbeinu HaZokein", "Rabbeinu HaGodol" i.e. one of the different ashkenazi pronunciations (not even the lubavitch one which is "hagodeil"!). I think it is important to use a consistent and constant system of transliteration, and since the sephardi one is the most widespread and prevailing, it is the one that should be used.
"Sipurie" doesn't exist in hebrew: it's either "sipure" or "sipurei".
In the reference "hayomyom" at the date of the 7th of shvat it is written that he was 12 years old: ז שבט בהיות אדמו"ר הזקן בן תשע שנה למד חכמת ההנדסה והתכונה. בן עשר - סדר לוח על חמש עשרה שנה. בהיותו בן שנים עשר נזדמן שלמד ברבים הלכות קדוש החדש להרמב"ם, ולא מצאו הגאונים, שהיו באותו מעמד, ידיהם ורגליהם בבית המדרש. Therefore that was not his bar-mitwah speech.
I don't understand why you reverted my " accession of Tsar Alexander I ( Alexander I of Russia) to the throne" to the former "elevation". What is the meaning of "elevating" someone?
I hope you therefore will revert to my revision.

Hello, Sir Joseph. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. I have sought administrator input into the lack of mention in the article that an accident by a car in the police-led motorcade of Schneerson caused the death of a Black child, and triggered the riots, and that he had no comment on the events or the death of a Black child. I have faced recurrent deletion of well sourced material by Kemal Tebaast, Debresser, and Bus Stop. They do not seek to resolve the issue. This is due to a bias by these editors to delete mention of this events linked to Schneerson. Rococo1700 ( talk) 03:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with removing a heading for Crown Heights riot from the article. I strongly urge some other compromise. Change the title, or move a subsection to another part of the article.

I just received your message notifying me that you undid my recent edits to the Electoral Reform article. Would you be so kind as to elaborate as to the reasons that my edits were not acceptable (I'm very new to editing Wikipedia articles)? I did not remove any content, but simply updated the page with information about the recent Prince Edward Island plebiscite on electoral reform and about the Green Party of Canada resolution adopting Mixed Member Proportional Representation as its preferred voting model, and I provided citations for both of these additions.

Last time I read the talkpage of Schneerson, at most the number of people in favor was equal to the number of people against. That does not make consensus for such controversial material. Keep in mind that the burden of proof for consensus is on the party that wants to add the material. Especially since I am now convinced Rococo1700 is having competence issues. Simply put, I think he's 1. a bit obsessed with this issue 2. not completely adequate. Debresser ( talk) 00:14, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Well, I'm not the one who moved the category. I moved the articles, yes, but the category move had already been done.
I take your point, but the problem is...well, everything else in Category:American Jews by occupation follows that pattern, so this category was an outlier. I have no objection to another change of name, but I'd suggest looking at some of the others as well to ensure that the differential is observed. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

@ Sir Joseph: Have you followed Tim Pool's recent Sweden reporting? ( https://twitter.com/Timcast) His few short videos are more informative than a week's worth of MSM.

It says citation required for Reza Aslan's connection to Council on Foreign Relations. That is deceptive claim that cannot be edited since the article is protected. It is deceptive because the citation is readily available on the internet. It is outright cheating in order to hide his connections to a group affiliated with the CIA. Here is the citation: http://www.cfr.org/content/bios/Aslan_Bio_Dec12.pdf You better fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.0.199.121 ( talk) 04:16, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Apparently, when correcting the POV edits of Seraphimsystem, you made an innocent mistake by changing the text of lead to his version, since a few hours before I restored the original lead. Don't worry. I fixed it again. In addition, I would like you to notice that he puts tags when content is sourced at the very end of the same sentence or throughout the article about IDF.-- 186.138.203.124 ( talk) 04:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

So, are you going to remove these tags or not? Also the same POV warrior put this tag, although given source literally says: "The IDF, founded in 1948, ranks among the most battle-trained armed forces in the world, having had to defend the country in five major wars" Could you remove the misleading and false tag, please? Please do something. Thanks.-- 186.138.118.49 ( talk) 16:53, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

SirJoseph -
I'm sitting on a collection of CC licensed primary Jewish texts. I think that there are many articles that would benefit from linking to complete versions of the text described in the article. I have a COI on the matter - I work for Sefaria, and help to digitize, correct, interlink, and generally steward these resources.
I tried to get WikiProject Judaism involved, but there's been no response or uptake over there. Sefaria Resources - COI
Perhaps you can help me get this ball rolling? (or am I going about this the wrong way?)

Hi. This sounds cherry-picking, supported by a biased source. It seems POV edit is meant to show how meaningless are Israeli casualties compared to Palestinian ones. I don't think "Israeli attacks" belong to WP:lead anyway.-- 186.136.245.26 ( talk) 05:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sir Joseph,
Thousands, if not millions, of reliable sources could be cited for the statement that Israel was established in the aftermath of the Holocaust (not "the context of the aftermath of the Holocaust", whatever that means). Likewise, millions of sources could be cited for a statement that Israel was established in southeastwest Asia. The bigger question is, what do they have to do with religion in Israel, the subject of the article?
Also, your reversion removed a two-year-old {{ cn}} tag from the phrase "safe from persecution". Please provide a source for it or restore the tag.
Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 03:37, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 803 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.
