Hello, I see you suggested to delete the article "Orthodox Croats" (and you are right, I think). It seems to me that this is about the same case: White Croatia and White Croats. If the first article is relatively decent, then the second is a "POV fork riddled with OR and speculation". In the discussion of the article, the same Mikola was noted (he admitted that these were his comments under the IP) [1]. Perhaps this situation will interest you.-- Nicoljaus ( talk) 21:33, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
You beat me to it. We're very quick to banninate these days, which causes me some unease, but this is not a hard case. We could let it run for years and the outcome would be the same. Guy ( help!) 01:14, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

why did you delete an actual fact extremely important for context? Regards, Alain Alainlambert ( talk) 16:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
What is OR? He does not give an example, read the source. Stating an opinion that "he says that it contains anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric that would certainly be agreeable to white supremacists" without citing what constitute anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric is just his opinion. I find that too often on Wikipedia, editors put as source someone's opinion and then state that opinion as a fact. With your permission, given this clarification, I will reinstate the truth. OK with you? Regards Alain Alainlambert ( talk) 16:44, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
I forgot to thank you for your intervention at the Polish-Ukrainian War article. I think your comments really helped to diffuse the situation and allowed folks to find a compromise.

Hi Slatersteven. Just to let you know, the AfD you recently posted was malformed; I have fixed that for you. I see you used Wikipedia:Page Curation to nominate it - I don't know if you want to check that's working properly for you and/or report a bug (I'm not familiar with the tool myself, so I'm not sure what might have caused that).

Can you explain please what is wrong with the Drexler article, he was a very important person, see all his exhibitions, books over his tenure at the MoMA and see his obituary in the New York Times!

Hi there- Sorry if I'm butting in, but I helped out with some of the refs, so the creator asked me if I could close the AFD. I'm going to decline, because by voting keep I would be "involved", but according to WP:CLOSEAFD as nominator, you could withdraw your nomination and close it. Fair enough if you would rather just wait for someone else though. Curdle ( talk) 14:06, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Slatersteven. I kindly ask you to check the voice on the Italian painter Pino Concialdi, i personally think that the encyclopedic relevance is missing.

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Bahhh Humbug! Slatersteven ( talk) 10:58, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
Please elaborate more (the proposal) - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Inappropriate_claims I tend not to agree with the proposal, because I do not work in RL and on Wiki with my hands tied. There is no pleasure in that, and this is not work, but a hobby. Furthemore, just because I did a bit of edit warring with one rather stubborn and uncooperative editor, which was also confirmed by another editor @ Nicoljaus:, you think that it is okay to put us on the same level? It may sound arrogant (that is not my intention), but it's offensive in my book. I am here for more than 10 years and I do not plan to stay dragged on a level of people who are using facsists for sources and do not know what the project, or teamwork for that matter, are all about. I got x2 24h blocks because I reverted disruptive editors who denied the existence of a nation (!), in one way or another. I am not that sorry about those blocks, but I do understand that my actions were not per Wiki policy. Maybe this is a boomerang effect, and maybe the things went out of the proportion. If I understood well, If I wanted to edit, say Serbs or Bosniaks, I would need to ask for a permission on the TP first, like some child? Thank you, Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 15:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Once again you claim that "you saw me being disruptive", which is half-true. I do not care to add a bunch of diffs which would "cover me", I do not want to talk a lot about the fact that I acctualy do have the arguments, that I have been dragged into this under a pretense (I did not label anybody), that I even reached out to M22 on his TP, that I did not touch the article in question after the report and so on. I am able to see when somebody has a strong opinion over something. The current proposal is not good one, nor do I think that it is fair. The better solution, in my opinion, would be that we come up with a mutual agreement not to edit the article in question, for a month or two, and that any further big or bold edits on the article and other articles about Vlachs would NEED consensus. Plus to promise to stay out of each other's way with the realisation that this is in fact a yellow card. Not being able to edit all related articles is far too severe and such a decision would also cripple several articles related to the Balkans. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 14:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Slatersteven,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
After being warned on my talkpage, I have reported you. Please stop harrasing me, stop stalking me and stop your false accusations and personal attacks. 31.161.148.196 ( talk) 16:34, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Can you tell me the reason why you have deleted my contribution to the voice Time travel claims and urban legends? Bibarte ( talk) 07:19, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
In wikipedia not all the info providen must be sourced, or at least you will add the tag "not sourced" instead of deleting. It also was unsourced because mine was the first source, and also because the picture was a proof itself, strong enough for a voice about "urban legends and calims". For this reason I think your deletion was not correct. ( Bibarte ( talk) 19:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC))

Hi, that ANI thread is stalled because it's too diffuse. I think that if we try to take up your new sanctions proposal before that ANI thread is resolved, we're going to get more crosstalk and confusion there. I wonder whether you'd consider striking that and raising your proposal separately. This could be done either after this ANI is resolved, or it could be done at ARCA as a DS amendment. FYI my view is that the crux of the problem on the Assange/Russia articles is a very small number of POV editors with behavioral deficits and that further DS/GS complicates things with no net benefit. The Admins who have become aware of Thucydides411's behavior have (with one or two exceptions) seen it for what it is. This could easily have been resolved through DS enforcement or AE. Unfortunately ANI is rather erratic. Regards. SPECIFICO talk 12:58, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello Slatersteven. In the recently closed thread on “Use of racial slur” at AN/I you say this:
As this may not be "all that common" a warning for now, but I also think withing a month we will be back here (or at the least his "fuck you Admins" message on his talk page will lead to the usual chorus of "don't be like that"s until his reactions escalate to a full block).
I wonder could you possibly provide me with a diff for that message, as I can’t recall ever posting one. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 11:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, because it is under construction or in use as per the template, and you have added a tag within minutes of it being created- It is very discouraging when you are disruptive editing / tag bombing.

I didn't want to drag out the conversation at WP:RSN, but please, for the love of god, read people's comments before replying to them. In nearly every single post in that discussion, you've claimed that I've said things I very obviously didn't say (or have in no uncertain terms said the opposite), clearly not out of any bad faith but because you just haven't bothered to read the individual posts you're specifically replying to.

Hi Slatersteven. I kindly ask you to check the voice on the Italian painter Pino Concialdi, i personally think that the encyclopedic relevance is missing. The article contains exclusively local sources linked exclusively to the places where this artist worked, that is in Sicily, region of Italy.-- 5.171.189.19 ( talk) 22:30, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Please elaborate more (the proposal) - /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Inappropriate_claims I tend not to agree with the proposal, because I do not work in RL and on Wiki with my hands tied. There is no pleasure in that, and this is not work, but a hobby. Furthemore, just because I did a bit of edit warring with one rather stubborn and uncooperative editor, which was also confirmed by another editor @ Nicoljaus:, you think that it is okay to put us on the same level? It may sound arrogant (that is not my intention), but it's offensive in my book. I am here for more than 10 years and I do not plan to stay dragged on a level of people who are using facsists for sources and do not know what the project, or teamwork for that matter, are all about. I got x2 24h blocks because I reverted disruptive editors who denied the existence of a nation (!), in one way or another. I am not that sorry about those blocks, but I do understand that my actions were not per Wiki policy. Maybe this is a boomerang effect, and maybe the things went out of the proportion. If I understood well, If I wanted to edit, say Serbs or Bosniaks, I would need to ask for a permission on the TP first, like some child? Thank you, Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 15:18, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Once again you claim that "you saw me being disruptive", which is half-true. I do not care to add a bunch of diffs which would "cover me", I do not want to talk a lot about the fact that I acctualy do have the arguments, that I have been dragged into this under a pretense (I did not label anybody), that I even reached out to M22 on his TP, that I did not touch the article in question after the report and so on. I am able to see when somebody has a strong opinion over something. The current proposal is not good one, nor do I think that it is fair. The better solution, in my opinion, would be that we come up with a mutual agreement not to edit the article in question, for a month or two, and that any further big or bold edits on the article and other articles about Vlachs would NEED consensus. Plus to promise to stay out of each other's way with the realisation that this is in fact a yellow card. Not being able to edit all related articles is far too severe and such a decision would also cripple several articles related to the Balkans. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 14:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello Slatersteven,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
After being warned on my talkpage, I have reported you. Please stop harrasing me, stop stalking me and stop your false accusations and personal attacks. 31.161.148.196 ( talk) 16:34, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
Can you tell me the reason why you have deleted my contribution to the voice Time travel claims and urban legends? Bibarte ( talk) 07:19, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
In wikipedia not all the info providen must be sourced, or at least you will add the tag "not sourced" instead of deleting. It also was unsourced because mine was the first source, and also because the picture was a proof itself, strong enough for a voice about "urban legends and calims". For this reason I think your deletion was not correct. ( Bibarte ( talk) 19:10, 6 March 2020 (UTC))

Hi, that ANI thread is stalled because it's too diffuse. I think that if we try to take up your new sanctions proposal before that ANI thread is resolved, we're going to get more crosstalk and confusion there. I wonder whether you'd consider striking that and raising your proposal separately. This could be done either after this ANI is resolved, or it could be done at ARCA as a DS amendment. FYI my view is that the crux of the problem on the Assange/Russia articles is a very small number of POV editors with behavioral deficits and that further DS/GS complicates things with no net benefit. The Admins who have become aware of Thucydides411's behavior have (with one or two exceptions) seen it for what it is. This could easily have been resolved through DS enforcement or AE. Unfortunately ANI is rather erratic. Regards. SPECIFICO talk 12:58, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello Slatersteven. In the recently closed thread on “Use of racial slur” at AN/I you say this:
As this may not be "all that common" a warning for now, but I also think withing a month we will be back here (or at the least his "fuck you Admins" message on his talk page will lead to the usual chorus of "don't be like that"s until his reactions escalate to a full block).
I wonder could you possibly provide me with a diff for that message, as I can’t recall ever posting one. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 11:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

tag on it because it was only created about one hour ago. It's really annoying that all some people seem to do is put tags while others are constructing articles!
WPCW ( talk) 09:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Yes, because it is under construction or in use as per the template, and you have added a tag within minutes of it being created- It is very discouraging when you are disruptive editing / tag bombing. We can all tag all day long, but that will not expand Wikipedia or encourage people to contribute.

I didn't want to drag out the conversation at WP:RSN, but please, for the love of god, read people's comments before replying to them. In nearly every single post in that discussion, you've claimed that I've said things I very obviously didn't say (or have in no uncertain terms said the opposite), clearly not out of any bad faith but because you just haven't bothered to read the individual posts you're specifically replying to. This is not a recipe for any kind of helpful contribution to discussion if every reply to you has to involve pointing out what you didn't read the first time.

In any case, I appreciate your effort in informing the editor of the applicable rules. Cheers.
