Hello Slatersteven,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Hi, I've reverted your revert. I agree including location is helpful, but here in this case it's unnecessary, as it's already in the title. And your revert reinstated the 90 charactered shortdesc, which is almost double the recommended size. Thanks. Ahated ( talk!) 10:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Could you please stop reverting me like this ? That feels a bit hostile. If you disagree, you may just manually undo what I did. Please note that I'm the one who put the "2019" date, as the page originally said June 22 2018. I'm pretty sure that 2019 is incorrect so I'm trying to fix this. Thanks.

Hi Slatersteven,
For those who may have missed it in our last newsletter, here's a quick reminder to see the letter we have drafted, and if you support it, do please go ahead and sign it. If you already signed, thanks. Also, if you haven't noticed, the backlog has been trending up lately; all reviews are greatly appreciated.

Greetings.
I wanted to post some info at Talk:Project Veritas, but my account seems to be too new for that. I see that you have made quite a few edits to the article, so I thought you might be interested in this.
Apparently, PBS considers Project Veritas to be a reliable source. At least, reliable enough that PBS did not want to continue employing one of its lawyers after he was shown saying certain controversial things in a Project Veritas video.
In my opinion, this speaks highly in favor of the reliability of Project Veritas. PBS is usually praised by people on the political left, the very same people who claim that Project Veritas is not reliable.
I present these three sources, and ask that you consider adding to the Project Veritas article based on this content, if you think this content is notable enough to deserve being included.

I have started a discussion on the talk page. The text I removed is inaccurate, so I have no idea why you would want to put it back as is. Please engage in the discusion instead of just blindly reverting to reinstate an inaccuracy. — Amakuru ( talk) 13:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
I have posted a sentence about the ability of the law to help USA accomplish it pledge in Paris agreement. You deleted it saying: wait for they will do it! But several sentences before there are suggestions about how much the bill wil reduce the GHG emissions. These are also suggestions based on calculations, so why you do not delete them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Joe_Biden&oldid=prev&diff=1114029121
If you think my edit is based on my own proposition you are wrong: the same sources who are cited when talking about suggested GHG reduction several sentences above says it explicitly (page 1):
" If the IRA passes, additional executive and state actions can realistically achieve the U.S. nationallydetermined commitments(NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. "
The second source (below the second graph):
"This is a huge step forward towards the US climate target of 50-52% below 2005 levels in 2030, though clearly more action is needed. No single action on its own will be enough to meet the target. Still the IRA changes the game, not just with the deep emissions reductions it generates but also by cutting the cost of additional action by the executive branch and states, which could put the 2030 target within reach."
https://rhg.com/research/climate-clean-energy-inflation-reduction-act/
I think this is enough important for being mentioned on the page of Joe Byden.
Can you please reinstall my edit?

Hello Slatersteven,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
I’ve been thinking about what you said and I apologize. - 24.227.34.10 ( talk) 15:45, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

I found something odd on an article on the Simple English wikipedia - Special:CentralAuth/Statersteven. Very, very few edits, but there's a bad smell coming from that. I think it's a blocked editor, but not sure which one. FYI. Ravensfire ( talk) 18:47, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

[1] I notice that the COVID-19 articles are under discretionary sanctions from the Arbitration Committee. Putting your own opinions in Wikipedia's voice rather than quoting someone, as is required by WP:OR, WP:NPOV, and WP:SYN would appear to me to be reportable under those sanctions. Before I do so, have you ever received any previous warnings or sanctions by the arbitration committee or an administrator? 152.130.15.129 ( talk) 19:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
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 2022 election, please review
the candidates and submit your choices on the

Hello, you recently undid my edit on John Campbell (YouTuber), seemingly saying my edit was in conflict with Reliable Sources; I disagree with you, and in fact the current language on the page is in itself misleading, as it discounts as pseudoscience a range of theories that are in fact at worst questionable ( Wikipedia:FRINGE/QS). I am not saying that the article should endorse these theories, but the current wording is one-sided, I would be happy if you could take another look at it and maybe make a suggestion of your own. I am especially looking at words like 'descended', which are unnecessary and unhelpful. Timeless99 ( talk) 15:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
The reason I had to reply so much on that talk page is that you kept missing the mark, distorting reliable sources, and making recommendations that were unnecessary according to guidelines, the latter being very curious coming from someone who was ostensibly preoccupied with preventing bloating. If you don't want other editors to spend several posts explaining you what a source is saying and what Wikipedia's editorial guidelines suggest, try to become a better reader on your own. Peleio Aquiles ( talk) 17:28, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
Alpha 2, an F-16, was shot down that day. While Wg Cdr Abhinandan may or may not have fired a missile at the F-16, radio messages intercepted by the Indian AWACS have recorded frantic calls to Alpha 2. We old-timers believe it was a blue-on-blue. Of the 26 PAF aircraft that comprised this mission, 25 landed at their home bases. Selective security can be irritating. In the attack over Balakot, villagers heard the sound of a few aircraft roaring past. This is on record everywhere. [I'm out of touch and can only revert next year.] That meant that aircraft flew past at a relatively low level. Bomb blasts were heard five minutes later. These first six were Mirage 2000I upgraded aircraft that swept the target area. Of the remaining twelve, only six dropped their munitions. Foreign agencies gave India the death toll-253. Forty more died in hospital. There was a film of a Pakistani JCO consoling villagers and relatives of some of the victims. As an ex-Mirage 2000 Sqn Cdr (1 Sqn), I was allowed to listen to the tapes and watch the assortment of films. We will have to wait 27 years to get actualities of a non-event.

Hello, I edited the Wikipedia article on the " Sinpar " automobile, these were good faith edits as you wrote in your edit summary, so why did you undo my edits ?

This man is using his edits to obfuscate the number of confederate statues remaining in Maryland. He is using one article about statues at courthouses that is 3 sentences and a link and two of those sentences contradict what he's trying to assert, that all statues in the entire state are gone. I gave him the benifit of the doubt but I cannot when hes following after me changing it back without addressing that his source and the rest of the Wikipedia article hes editing contradict him.

Hello Slatersteven,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
Hello sir. I have noticed that you recently reverted an edit of mine adding a "2023 truce" section to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine article in its "Peace negotiations" section, stating "let's see if it holds". In full respect of your choices, I suggest re-adding the section as "2023 truce attempt" or otherwise, since it's still a notable event during the invasion considering that it's been covered by multiple reliable news outlets in detail and has caused a bit of a rumble.

Hi, About our discussion that you didn't agree. You need to remember that Poland during WW2 was divided between Polish Underground State that was against Soviet Union and Polish Committee of National Liberation in 1944 that was against USA and against Polish Underground State. That's why writing just "Poland" is wrong and non accurate. DerekTDR ( talk) 12:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello Slatersteven,
I'm writing to request that you don't respond to grossly insulting WP:SOAPBOXing like this. It makes it significantly more complicated for someone else to simply delete it, which is the appropriate thing to do with grossly insulting soapboxing. As it stands, it's now a puzzle how to hat / retitle all the inappropriate threads started by obvious meatpuppets. In the future it would be much simpler to revert on sight (or let others do it). Thanks, Generalrelative ( talk) 17:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/War in Ukraine 2023 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 until the discussion has finished.

I understand your complete dependence on RS to defend your characterization of Project Veritas as far-right activism. However, I disagree on this characterization, and I would appreciate it if you could take the time to consider my position. My contention is as follows: 1) mass media sources cannot be considered RS when discussing a competing platform/source, and academic sources are not NPOV until proven otherwise; 2) the characterizations are based on flawed definitions (by all definitions, PV is gotcha journalism, not activism); and 3) PV itself has not actively engaged in or called for minimalist government or reactionary social policy, and while it does seem to associate with reactionary groups, it is not truly far-right (which, in opposition to things like totalitarian socialism and Communism, would advocate for minimalist or completely absent government).
I am, of course, discussing my position with you (and I will do so with other editors) in order to resolve a dispute amicably and reach a resolution, since my edits, which were in good faith, and my edit comments were categorically ignored by you and several other editors.

Hello Slatersteven,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Could you please stop reverting me like this ? That feels a bit hostile. If you disagree, you may just manually undo what I did. Please note that I'm the one who put the "2019" date, as the page originally said June 22 2018. I'm pretty sure that 2019 is incorrect so I'm trying to fix this. Thanks.

Greetings.
I wanted to post some info at Talk:Project Veritas, but my account seems to be too new for that. I see that you have made quite a few edits to the article, so I thought you might be interested in this.
Apparently, PBS considers Project Veritas to be a reliable source. At least, reliable enough that PBS did not want to continue employing one of its lawyers after he was shown saying certain controversial things in a Project Veritas video.
In my opinion, this speaks highly in favor of the reliability of Project Veritas. PBS is usually praised by people on the political left, the very same people who claim that Project Veritas is not reliable.
I present these three sources, and ask that you consider adding to the Project Veritas article based on this content, if you think this content is notable enough to deserve being included.

I have started a discussion on the talk page. The text I removed is inaccurate, so I have no idea why you would want to put it back as is. Please engage in the discusion instead of just blindly reverting to reinstate an inaccuracy. — Amakuru ( talk) 13:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
I have posted a sentence about the ability of the law to help USA accomplish it pledge in Paris agreement. You deleted it saying: wait for they will do it! But several sentences before there are suggestions about how much the bill wil reduce the GHG emissions. These are also suggestions based on calculations, so why you do not delete them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Joe_Biden&oldid=prev&diff=1114029121
If you think my edit is based on my own proposition you are wrong: the same sources who are cited when talking about suggested GHG reduction several sentences above says it explicitly (page 1):
" If the IRA passes, additional executive and state actions can realistically achieve the U.S. nationallydetermined commitments(NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. "
The second source (below the second graph):
"This is a huge step forward towards the US climate target of 50-52% below 2005 levels in 2030, though clearly more action is needed. No single action on its own will be enough to meet the target. Still the IRA changes the game, not just with the deep emissions reductions it generates but also by cutting the cost of additional action by the executive branch and states, which could put the 2030 target within reach."

Hello Slatersteven,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
I’ve been thinking about what you said and I apologize. - 24.227.34.10 ( talk) 15:45, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

[1] I notice that the COVID-19 articles are under discretionary sanctions from the Arbitration Committee. Putting your own opinions in Wikipedia's voice rather than quoting someone, as is required by WP:OR, WP:NPOV, and WP:SYN would appear to me to be reportable under those sanctions. Before I do so, have you ever received any previous warnings or sanctions by the arbitration committee or an administrator? 152.130.15.129 ( talk) 19:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
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 2022 election, please review

Hello, you recently undid my edit on John Campbell (YouTuber), seemingly saying my edit was in conflict with Reliable Sources; I disagree with you, and in fact the current language on the page is in itself misleading, as it discounts as pseudoscience a range of theories that are in fact at worst questionable ( Wikipedia:FRINGE/QS). I am not saying that the article should endorse these theories, but the current wording is one-sided, I would be happy if you could take another look at it and maybe make a suggestion of your own. I am especially looking at words like 'descended', which are unnecessary and unhelpful. Timeless99 ( talk) 15:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
The reason I had to reply so much on that talk page is that you kept missing the mark, distorting reliable sources, and making recommendations that were unnecessary according to guidelines, the latter being very curious coming from someone who was ostensibly preoccupied with preventing bloating. If you don't want other editors to spend several posts explaining you what a source is saying and what Wikipedia's editorial guidelines suggest, try to become a better reader on your own. Peleio Aquiles ( talk) 17:28, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
Alpha 2, an F-16, was shot down that day. While Wg Cdr Abhinandan may or may not have fired a missile at the F-16, radio messages intercepted by the Indian AWACS have recorded frantic calls to Alpha 2. We old-timers believe it was a blue-on-blue. Of the 26 PAF aircraft that comprised this mission, 25 landed at their home bases. Selective security can be irritating. In the attack over Balakot, villagers heard the sound of a few aircraft roaring past. This is on record everywhere. [I'm out of touch and can only revert next year.] That meant that aircraft flew past at a relatively low level. Bomb blasts were heard five minutes later. These first six were Mirage 2000I upgraded aircraft that swept the target area. Of the remaining twelve, only six dropped their munitions. Foreign agencies gave India the death toll-253. Forty more died in hospital. There was a film of a Pakistani JCO consoling villagers and relatives of some of the victims. As an ex-Mirage 2000 Sqn Cdr (1 Sqn), I was allowed to listen to the tapes and watch the assortment of films. We will have to wait 27 years to get actualities of a non-event.

This man is using his edits to obfuscate the number of confederate statues remaining in Maryland. He is using one article about statues at courthouses that is 3 sentences and a link and two of those sentences contradict what he's trying to assert, that all statues in the entire state are gone. I gave him the benifit of the doubt but I cannot when hes following after me changing it back without addressing that his source and the rest of the Wikipedia article hes editing contradict him.

Hello Slatersteven,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
Hello sir. I have noticed that you recently reverted an edit of mine adding a "2023 truce" section to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine article in its "Peace negotiations" section, stating "let's see if it holds". In full respect of your choices, I suggest re-adding the section as "2023 truce attempt" or otherwise, since it's still a notable event during the invasion considering that it's been covered by multiple reliable news outlets in detail and has caused a bit of a rumble.

Hi, About our discussion that you didn't agree. You need to remember that Poland during WW2 was divided between Polish Underground State that was against Soviet Union and Polish Committee of National Liberation in 1944 that was against USA and against Polish Underground State.

Hello Slatersteven,
I'm writing to request that you don't respond to grossly insulting WP:SOAPBOXing like this. It makes it significantly more complicated for someone else to simply delete it, which is the appropriate thing to do with grossly insulting soapboxing. As it stands, it's now a puzzle how to hat / retitle all the inappropriate threads started by obvious meatpuppets. In the future it would be much simpler to revert on sight (or let others do it). Thanks, Generalrelative ( talk) 17:43, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/War in Ukraine 2023 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 until the discussion has finished.

I understand your complete dependence on RS to defend your characterization of Project Veritas as far-right activism. However, I disagree on this characterization, and I would appreciate it if you could take the time to consider my position. My contention is as follows: 1) mass media sources cannot be considered RS when discussing a competing platform/source, and academic sources are not NPOV until proven otherwise; 2) the characterizations are based on flawed definitions (by all definitions, PV is gotcha journalism, not activism); and 3) PV itself has not actively engaged in or called for minimalist government or reactionary social policy, and while it does seem to associate with reactionary groups, it is not truly far-right (which, in opposition to things like totalitarian socialism and Communism, would advocate for minimalist or completely absent government).
I am, of course, discussing my position with you (and I will do so with other editors) in order to resolve a dispute amicably and reach a resolution, since my edits, which were in good faith, and my edit comments were categorically ignored by you and several other editors.
