Tedder, here are the comments I left on Kudpung's talk page after Lootbrewed's blanket removal of content and edit warring behavior after the removal was reverted: [4]. My comments at Fred Bauder's talk page regarding same are here: [5]. For some reason, Lootbrewed believes the discussion at Kudpung's talk page was a carte blanche to remove a large amount of content at the St. Paul's article; that Kudpung alone okay-ed the content removal. I can't say I've ever seen something like this before in Wikipedia. One editor (allegedly) making a decision without consensus and another editor taking that as license to gut an article. Since Lootbrewed has dragged you into this, I'd be interested in your take on all of it. In spite of Lootbrewed's obvious attempt to poison the well against me here, none of what's going on has anything to do with any past transgressions I may or may not have committed. At this point, it's about what I see as disruptive editing on Lootbrewed's part and his claim that an admin told him to do it. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Hello Tedder, as you have dealt with edit-warring in this article in the past (far far back in 2012), just a notification: it seems like the PoV-pushing is occuring again. I am completely uninvolved myself (only noticed the edit via a vandalism filter), and don't know anything about the involved organizations. Maybe it's worth putting the article on watch again for a while to restore the NPOV version, if necessary. Best regards. GermanJoe ( talk) 21:13, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I disagree with some of the changes you made to my edits on Big Cat Rescue's article. 1. You removed a line with allegiations from critics due to being "poorly sourced". I didn't write anything that would suggest that these allegiations were true, merely that they have been raised. I think that the website were the allegiations are raised is a good reference to back up a statement that these accusations were made. 2. You should have taken a closer look at the 10 News video. The animal purchases might have ended by 2001, but the other questionable activities were committed much later. If you have proof that the animal acquisitions ended in 2001, please add references just as I did and clarify that this applies only to the animal acquisitions, not to the other unclean activities. 3. For the same reason, renaming this section from "Controversy" to "Origins" is misleading. I added items that indicate wrongdoing that were committed after BCR started calling itself a sanctuary, and I plan to add more of them. Also, even for activities that have ceased since BCR became a sanctuary a valid point can be raised as to whether this change of heart is genuine or only motivated by financial considerations. 4. Referring me to the talk page is complete nonsense, and you know it. Nobody, not even you, responded to comments that I made on the Talk page while the article was still semi-protected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serval5412 ( talk • contribs) 21:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Not sure why you deleted my additions to the Senior Salute section of the article on St. Paul's School. Those facts about Labrie were widely reported in the media: that he was a scholarship student from a modest background who became captain of the soccer team and was awarded the Rector's Award at graduation which was later revoked. Also widely noted was the fact that he was admitted to Harvard but never enrolled. So these facts have no poverty of sources and are not the subject of any reasonable controversy, although partisans of SPS may be anxious that this scandal be minimized and fade from public view. For what it's worth, my grandfather graduated from SPS in 1918. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.248.88 ( talk) 05:13, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Tedder. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tedder, regarding your protection of List of things named after Donald Trump. The extended confirmed protection option can only be used if semi protection has proven to be ineffective. The page you protected would likely not have enough vandalism to be semi protected based on the edits to the page so far. Would you be willing to consider either removing your protection or changing it to pending changes? Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 00:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Tedder.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I think this was inappropriate. I don't know whether you're familiar with the history of this article, the various BLP and UNDUE issues and the recent editing environment surrounding Amercian Politics, the Russians, and Wikileaks. But all of the issues raised at the previous AfD's remain unsettled, and after 2-3 days, all you've got on the AfD page is the editors who've leapt to the page while shutting out the rest of the community that has real-life schedules that don't lend themselves to rapid response. The result may again be keep but I see no benefit in a speedy close egged on by off-topic comments by indignant Keep pov's. Please consider letting this run its course. SPECIFICO talk 16:47, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
(moving left) I can technically reopen, but I'm refusing to do so because it wasn't going to be deleted at AFD- at best, it would have gotten closed with "no consensus". tedder ( talk) 03:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Just to close the book on this. If you don't mind, Tedder, could you answer the question I asked above, "Tedder, for everyone's information, how did you happen to see that the AfD seemed ripe to close?" I know some Admins actively patrol AfDs and other pages that need closes but you don't appear to be active in that role, and indeed are one of the less active Admins. How did it happen that you came to this AfD to close it? Suspicions have been raised on the article talk page and it will be good to clear the air. Please do not take this as any kind of accusation.

Tedder, here are the comments I left on Kudpung's talk page after Lootbrewed's blanket removal of content and edit warring behavior after the removal was reverted: [4]. My comments at Fred Bauder's talk page regarding same are here: [5]. For some reason, Lootbrewed believes the discussion at Kudpung's talk page was a carte blanche to remove a large amount of content at the St. Paul's article; that Kudpung alone okay-ed the content removal. I can't say I've ever seen something like this before in Wikipedia. One editor (allegedly) making a decision without consensus and another editor taking that as license to gut an article. Since Lootbrewed has dragged you into this, I'd be interested in your take on all of it. In spite of Lootbrewed's obvious attempt to poison the well against me here, none of what's going on has anything to do with any past transgressions I may or may not have committed. At this point, it's about what I see as disruptive editing on Lootbrewed's part and his claim that an admin told him to do it. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 20:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Hello Tedder, as you have dealt with edit-warring in this article in the past (far far back in 2012), just a notification: it seems like the PoV-pushing is occuring again. I am completely uninvolved myself (only noticed the edit via a vandalism filter), and don't know anything about the involved organizations. Maybe it's worth putting the article on watch again for a while to restore the NPOV version, if necessary. Best regards. GermanJoe ( talk) 21:13, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

I disagree with some of the changes you made to my edits on Big Cat Rescue's article. 1. You removed a line with allegiations from critics due to being "poorly sourced". I didn't write anything that would suggest that these allegiations were true, merely that they have been raised. I think that the website were the allegiations are raised is a good reference to back up a statement that these accusations were made. 2. You should have taken a closer look at the 10 News video. The animal purchases might have ended by 2001, but the other questionable activities were committed much later. If you have proof that the animal acquisitions ended in 2001, please add references just as I did and clarify that this applies only to the animal acquisitions, not to the other unclean activities. 3. For the same reason, renaming this section from "Controversy" to "Origins" is misleading. I added items that indicate wrongdoing that were committed after BCR started calling itself a sanctuary, and I plan to add more of them. Also, even for activities that have ceased since BCR became a sanctuary a valid point can be raised as to whether this change of heart is genuine or only motivated by financial considerations. 4. Referring me to the talk page is complete nonsense, and you know it. Nobody, not even you, responded to comments that I made on the Talk page while the article was still semi-protected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serval5412 ( talk • contribs) 21:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Not sure why you deleted my additions to the Senior Salute section of the article on St. Paul's School. Those facts about Labrie were widely reported in the media: that he was a scholarship student from a modest background who became captain of the soccer team and was awarded the Rector's Award at graduation which was later revoked. Also widely noted was the fact that he was admitted to Harvard but never enrolled. So these facts have no poverty of sources and are not the subject of any reasonable controversy, although partisans of SPS may be anxious that this scandal be minimized and fade from public view. For what it's worth, my grandfather graduated from SPS in 1918. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.242.248.88 ( talk) 05:13, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Tedder. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Tedder, regarding your protection of List of things named after Donald Trump. The extended confirmed protection option can only be used if semi protection has proven to be ineffective. The page you protected would likely not have enough vandalism to be semi protected based on the edits to the page so far. Would you be willing to consider either removing your protection or changing it to pending changes? Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 00:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Tedder.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

I think this was inappropriate. I don't know whether you're familiar with the history of this article, the various BLP and UNDUE issues and the recent editing environment surrounding Amercian Politics, the Russians, and Wikileaks. But all of the issues raised at the previous AfD's remain unsettled, and after 2-3 days, all you've got on the AfD page is the editors who've leapt to the page while shutting out the rest of the community that has real-life schedules that don't lend themselves to rapid response. The result may again be keep but I see no benefit in a speedy close egged on by off-topic comments by indignant Keep pov's. Please consider letting this run its course. SPECIFICO talk 16:47, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
(moving left) I can technically reopen, but I'm refusing to do so because it wasn't going to be deleted at AFD- at best, it would have gotten closed with "no consensus". tedder ( talk) 03:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
Just to close the book on this. If you don't mind, Tedder, could you answer the question I asked above, "Tedder, for everyone's information, how did you happen to see that the AfD seemed ripe to close?" I know some Admins actively patrol AfDs and other pages that need closes but you don't appear to be active in that role, and indeed are one of the less active Admins. How did it happen that you came to this AfD to close it? Suspicions have been raised on the article talk page and it will be good to clear the air. Please do not take this as any kind of accusation.
