On 10 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Death of Ronald Greene, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after police beat, choked, pepper-sprayed, and dragged Ronald Greene face down while shackled, saying "that shit hurts, doesn't it?", a trooper was initially reprimanded for violating courtesy rules? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Death of Ronald Greene. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Death of Ronald Greene), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for your comments on the Fauci Talk page. I work full time on BW, and I can put some effort into WP articles. Your mentoring would be appreciated. There are so many articles that need updated. I just ran across the Marc Lipsitch bio, and there is no mention of his role in the H5N1 GoF controversy. That might go to the top of the list. Please feel free to suggest work for me. I strive for a neutral POV, but more importantly, I am extremely cautious about giving the wrong people any good ideas in BW. Charles Juvon ( talk) 14:28, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Great work. The inclusion of "appeared to be false" and other negative descriptions (which are varied interpretations/opinions), are now framed and attributed properly, so can be included. PME's version was in wikivoice making it an NPOV violation by editors taking one side.
This is a quick analysis, so I'm not sure. I could easily have missed something. Here are a few points:

Hello Starship.paint. I noticed the ANI thread that you opened about this article, at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Sustained WP:COATRACK behaviour. My own suggestion is that you open a new thread on the article talk page and make a list of the changes you would like to make to remove the excessive Epstein-related material. It is possible that others will support this proposal and you will be able to go ahead. If there is opposition, consider a formal WP:RFC. Either way you should be able to get a talk page verdict on whether to remove the Epstein material. EdJohnston ( talk) 01:43, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Because I can no longer contribute to the discussion on AN/I, I am posting this same comment on multiple user's talk pages. You are one of those users, and I apologize for bringing this to your talk page instead. I am disappointed that the issue I posted on AN/I was closed so quickly, without giving me a chance to respond. Not everybody is on Wikipedia 24 hours a day. This was my very first time reporting anything to AN/I and, yes, I should have included more detail, and I apologize for not doing so, but now I do not have the opportunity to do so.
The very fact that Hammersoft assumes that I simply don't understand Wikipedia does not assume good faith (and, yes, there is the clear implication that it is my fault that I do not understand what Hammersoft doesn't actually state). The fact that I asked questions repeatedly that Hammersoft did not answer (for no specified reason) is uncivil.
I do not believe Hammersoft is trying to improve Wikipedia here. Someone who wanted to improve Wikipedia would help figure out how to get this notable information in the article, not reject it no matter what. And they would explain why they think Pantheos is not acceptable here while it is acceptable in hundreds of other articles. Whether or not this is uncivil by the Wikipedia definition of the term, it is uncivil by the definition of the word. On notability, I argue that the proposed addition is notable simply because of its direct connection to the SCOTUS case, an "unintended consequence" of it, just like Gavin Newsom's proposal to advance gun control in California based on the Texas law that it looks like SCOTUS will uphold. Every SCOTUS case is notable and unintended consequences of those cases are notable.
Hammersoft is very good at citing all sorts of policies. I don't like citing policies as they are frequently used as a fake "appeal to authority." For example, in Hammersoft's response, they cite WP:NOTSILENCE incorrectly. I did not say that their silence meant consent, nor did I chastise them for a general failure to respond. Not responding is their right. But they did respond and, given that, I said that their failure to respond to my questions and my attempts to confirm my understanding of what they were trying to say meant that I would assume they are incorrect. (Note: Hammersoft did what WP:NOTSILENCE says they shouldn't do — they repeated the same things without providing additional information.)
The discussion in AN/I is also tainted. Does Cullen328 refer to other religions as "guerilla theatre groups"? Or just The Satanic Temple? Cullen328's personal opinions on a particular religion they don't like — essentially an attack on that religion — are absolutely not NPOV and do not belong in this discussion.
I do not intend to make this minor addition to Wikipedia my life's work, but it exhibits one of the things I hate about Wikipedia. Wikipedia would be much better off if people spent more time figuring out how to add important and useful (and notable!) information to Wikipedia rather than trying so hard to remove things. It's sad. I will follow up with an RfC on the issue of whether Pantheos can be cited or not (note that I have already tried, unsuccessfully, to get Hammersoft to engage on this issue).
