I don't know what you did but you messed up a bunch on the 1950's playboy playmate page. You can not bring up certain info on some of the playmates. It's almost like you deleted them. If you don't know what your doing don't mess with it! Moose696 ( talk) 03:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Greetings. I saw the comments you made on these list pages, which were all reverted by a very inexperienced editor. I've returned the redirects, as per your rationale, but the one above was just reverted, see comment in edit summary. While I agree with your assessment of the 2019 afd discussion, the closer did not expressly say they should all be redirected. Thoughts? Onel5969 TT me 14:50, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello CaptainEek,
I saw you conducted the WikiEditorAd sockpuppet investigations in May this year. In March, I had requested to investigate WikiEditorAd too as part of the Sonofstar sockpuppet investigations, but the Checkuser did not find a connection. I looked closely at WikiEditorAd's socks, and found that their behaviors was very similar to the behaviour of the accounts I suspected to be sock puppets.
Now, I don't know how the Checkuser works exactly, but I wanted to know if it was possible to see if the the accounts I suspected of sockpuppetry in March are connected to those that were banned in May. Can that be considered? Mottezen ( talk) 22:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi CaptainEek, just wondering if you can check out the additions to another page that may violate Wikipedia standards? The contributor is not neutral, particularly as he has a podcast and he's trying to make a name for himself (I can direct you to his Twitter feed with proof, if you need it) by constantly attacking the organization whose page he has modified: /info/en/?search=Atheist_Alliance_International#Criticism
In particular, he is presenting an opinion on the board meeting held in July, based on speculations of a disgruntled affiliate member: 'At that AGM, there were again complaints about the AAI Board preventing legitimate Members from voting. For example, the Humanist Union of Greece complained[18] that despite being a fully paid-up AAI Member, they were not permitted to vote during elections for Director roles, and they were not permitted to discuss their complaint during the AGM.' I know for a fact this is a deliberate skewing of the facts, as I was present at this board meeting. This is not a neutral presentation and presents a one-sided retelling of the events as the participant would like to frame it.
You can also see his comments on the talk page. Sylvesterjay ( talk) 08:12, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Gallic Wars you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Ahoy Captain Eek! I am sorry if this is overstepping my bounds, as I am not an admin or moderator, etc. I would like to address a concern I have about the blocking of user Fragglestomp. In response to the ArbCom sanction expiring on the Kubrick infobox thing September 1st, they said the following on the
Stanley Kubrick talk page:
It's September 2021, and you know what that means: according to the top of the page, the ban on infobox discussions is officially over. Forgive me if this is the wrong place to bring it up. I would like to express my views on the matter wherever appropriate.
I do have to admit, the first part does come across as a bit cocky, but they could've been trying to introduce their statement in a humorous manner. After this, Fragglestomp came off as collected and humble, not malicious, at least to my perception. User Floquenbeam gave the following response:
No. You don't get to "express your views" here, or anywhere, they are not welcome. After looking at your first edit from March, it's clear you're a returning sock, here solely to disrupt this article. Not sure why you weren't blocked as such at the time. While any good faith editor is allowed to raise the issue again (keeping in mind that just because something is allowed doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea), you can't, because I'm blocking you. I would strongly suggest we not allow new accounts to start this up again.
This response is why I came. I just want to express some concerns about this. Flo comes across as
hostile and gives an automatic block. Shouldn't
good faith be assumed? It seems mean to assume malice and
accuse them of being a sock. Accusing and blocking here just comes across as a case of
assuming bad faith and general
meanness. That's my two cents. Again, I'm sorry if it was not my place to say anything and please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere here.

Hello CaptainEek,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

I'd settle for "acquired primarily as a result of the Mexican-American War," if you'd prefer that. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:22, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
On second thought, I don't know whether that is true; I don't know what percentage of the new territories were acquired as a result of the Mexican War Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:28, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
On your second point, I had changed it from "after" to "as a result of" because "after" refers merely to the time sequence and not necessarily to a connection between the Mexican-American War and the acquisition of territories. I grant that most people will infer a connection, but it's better to be explicit about it. It's only three extra words. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:41, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
If you like my suggestion, then I'd change "territories" to "U.S. territories." Maurice Magnus ( talk) 00:38, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.

On 9 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gallic Wars, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Julius Caesar's portrayal of his actions in the Gallic Wars have led historians to call him one of history's first " spin doctors"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gallic Wars. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Gallic Wars), 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.

I am a writer and digital savvy, I have done some edits already, and know how to work Wiki to add new pages as I have experience writing in many different formats and how to communicate effectively. I have a lot of exceptional interests, I like sports, art, digital/technology, and entertainment. -- Curttom
I would like to write about Canada, and British Columbia, I grew up here and have been almost everywhere. I would use websites from reliable sources such as https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/home or https://www.hellobc.com/ I also think the local sports organizations should receive more attention and be included in Wikipedia. I would use resources from their respective websites like I have done before on my editing. Then there is art galleries that should have their pages as well, Canadian artists should be featured, and more. I would look to sites such as: https://www.vanartgallery.bc.ca/ or https://www.art-bc.com/places/category/art-galleries/ Curttom

If you could show me how I can share it with you, or if you can just access my sandbox without it that would be great.

Hello CaptainEek! So I saw article today that included titles of francizes, with links to the main page, but not all of them had links to the main page, possibly because some of them were francizes that belonged to the main francizes.

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hi friend, you helped me out when I first started Wiki Editing and I was wondering if you could spare a bit of time and maybe pop over to the Beekeeping in Ireland page. Some other Editors have taken an interest and are trying to Copy-editing it, to try and get it up to a B-Class, but the result is somewhat difficult to assess. I am not sure where now to start with it as there are lots of little but important inaccuracies, certainly the additional Sections with Sub-Sections does help in readability, but I fear we may be losing the parameters of the well defined subjects. There are a lot of conflicting views within the community and I have tried to give both sides, but I'm not sure that is being done now (although I do personally agree with the tone of the Article, I must put my personal opinions on subjects aside and present counter arguments in a balanced and fair way, ie: if scientific research concludes ABC, but a sizable vocal and very influential minority dismissed the Science and says XYZ then I think both sides should be acknowledged, but the scientific facts made clear, etc.). I'm just thinking that maybe a fresh pair of eyes may help, if a decision could be reached on how the page is to be Copy-edited then that might be more effective?

Hi there, you're receiving this note because you're currently signed up for the 2022 WikiCup and don't yet have any points in the competition. As you may know, scoring any points in the first round is traditionally sufficient to advance to the second, and a fast way to get 5 points is to complete a good article review. Given that the January 2022 Good Article Nomination Backlog Drive is active for another 10 days, you might be interested in pitching in. Complete one review, and you'll be on to the next round in WikiCup; complete two or three, and you'll also be eligible to win some barnstars. As always, quality reviews with attention to detail are expected. Cheers, -- Usernameunique ( talk) 19:40, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello CaptainEek,
I saw you conducted the WikiEditorAd sockpuppet investigations in May this year. In March, I had requested to investigate WikiEditorAd too as part of the Sonofstar sockpuppet investigations, but the Checkuser did not find a connection. I looked closely at WikiEditorAd's socks, and found that their behaviors was very similar to the behaviour of the accounts I suspected to be sock puppets.
Now, I don't know how the Checkuser works exactly, but I wanted to know if it was possible to see if the the accounts I suspected of sockpuppetry in March are connected to those that were banned in May. Can that be considered? Mottezen ( talk) 22:27, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi CaptainEek, just wondering if you can check out the additions to another page that may violate Wikipedia standards? The contributor is not neutral, particularly as he has a podcast and he's trying to make a name for himself (I can direct you to his Twitter feed with proof, if you need it) by constantly attacking the organization whose page he has modified: /info/en/?search=Atheist_Alliance_International#Criticism
In particular, he is presenting an opinion on the board meeting held in July, based on speculations of a disgruntled affiliate member: 'At that AGM, there were again complaints about the AAI Board preventing legitimate Members from voting. For example, the Humanist Union of Greece complained[18] that despite being a fully paid-up AAI Member, they were not permitted to vote during elections for Director roles, and they were not permitted to discuss their complaint during the AGM.' I know for a fact this is a deliberate skewing of the facts, as I was present at this board meeting. This is not a neutral presentation and presents a one-sided retelling of the events as the participant would like to frame it.
You can also see his comments on the talk page. Sylvesterjay ( talk) 08:12, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Ahoy Captain Eek! I am sorry if this is overstepping my bounds, as I am not an admin or moderator, etc. I would like to address a concern I have about the blocking of user Fragglestomp. In response to the ArbCom sanction expiring on the Kubrick infobox thing September 1st, they said the following on the
Stanley Kubrick talk page:
It's September 2021, and you know what that means: according to the top of the page, the ban on infobox discussions is officially over. Forgive me if this is the wrong place to bring it up. I would like to express my views on the matter wherever appropriate.
I do have to admit, the first part does come across as a bit cocky, but they could've been trying to introduce their statement in a humorous manner. After this, Fragglestomp came off as collected and humble, not malicious, at least to my perception. User Floquenbeam gave the following response:
No. You don't get to "express your views" here, or anywhere, they are not welcome. After looking at your first edit from March, it's clear you're a returning sock, here solely to disrupt this article. Not sure why you weren't blocked as such at the time. While any good faith editor is allowed to raise the issue again (keeping in mind that just because something is allowed doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea), you can't, because I'm blocking you. I would strongly suggest we not allow new accounts to start this up again.
This response is why I came. I just want to express some concerns about this. Flo comes across as
hostile and gives an automatic block. Shouldn't
good faith be assumed? It seems mean to assume malice and
accuse them of being a sock. Accusing and blocking here just comes across as a case of
assuming bad faith and general
meanness. That's my two cents. Again, I'm sorry if it was not my place to say anything and please correct me if I'm wrong anywhere here.

The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! No further nominations will be accepted after that time. Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the current coord team. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello! How do I publish a draft? -- Mattdimarc ( talk) 18:59, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
ok. assuming the article is edited to be neutral, is there a way to make it “notable” at the moment and publishable, in your opinion? Mattdimarc ( talk) 14:25, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
makes sense Mattdimarc ( talk) 23:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello CaptainEek,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

I'd settle for "acquired primarily as a result of the Mexican-American War," if you'd prefer that. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:22, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
On second thought, I don't know whether that is true; I don't know what percentage of the new territories were acquired as a result of the Mexican War Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:28, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
On your second point, I had changed it from "after" to "as a result of" because "after" refers merely to the time sequence and not necessarily to a connection between the Mexican-American War and the acquisition of territories. I grant that most people will infer a connection, but it's better to be explicit about it. It's only three extra words. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 22:41, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
If you like my suggestion, then I'd change "territories" to "U.S. territories." Maurice Magnus ( talk) 00:38, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

The WikiCup is over for another year and the finalists can relax! Our Champion this year is The Rambling Man ( submissions), who amassed over 5000 points in the final round, achieving 8 featured articles and almost 500 reviews. It was a very competitive round; seven of the finalists achieved over 1000 points in the round (enough to win the 2019 contest), and three scored over 3000 (enough to win the 2020 event). Our 2021 finalists and their scores were:
All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition, not forgetting User:Jarry1250, who runs the scoring bot.
If you have views on whether the rules or scoring need adjustment for next year's contest, please comment on the WikiCup talk page. Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2022 competition.

On 9 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gallic Wars, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Julius Caesar's portrayal of his actions in the Gallic Wars have led historians to call him one of history's first " spin doctors"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gallic Wars. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Gallic Wars), 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.

I would use resources from their respective websites like I have done before on my editing. Then there is art galleries that should have their pages as well, Canadian artists should be featured, and more.

The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?Special thanks to xaosflux for help with implementation.
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Greetings and all the best in New Year, for a few days now there are unsourced changes in lots of wikipedia articles, some of them were already noticed by admins, it started with this ip [ [2]] after few days it continued with this ip [ [3]] and today it continued with this ip [ [4]],All 3 have the same target articles, the last 2 ip have the same geolocation, could it be that they are the same person, could you run a quick SPI check ? Thank you. Theonewithreason ( talk) 17.January 2022 (UTC)

Hi friend, you helped me out when I first started Wiki Editing and I was wondering if you could spare a bit of time and maybe pop over to the Beekeeping in Ireland page. Some other Editors have taken an interest and are trying to Copy-editing it, to try and get it up to a B-Class, but the result is somewhat difficult to assess. I am not sure where now to start with it as there are lots of little but important inaccuracies, certainly the additional Sections with Sub-Sections does help in readability, but I fear we may be losing the parameters of the well defined subjects. There are a lot of conflicting views within the community and I have tried to give both sides, but I'm not sure that is being done now (although I do personally agree with the tone of the Article, I must put my personal opinions on subjects aside and present counter arguments in a balanced and fair way, ie: if scientific research concludes ABC, but a sizable vocal and very influential minority dismissed the Science and says XYZ then I think both sides should be acknowledged, but the scientific facts made clear, etc.). I'm just thinking that maybe a fresh pair of eyes may help, if a decision could be reached on how the page is to be Copy-edited then that might be more effective?

Hi there, you're receiving this note because you're currently signed up for the 2022 WikiCup and don't yet have any points in the competition. As you may know, scoring any points in the first round is traditionally sufficient to advance to the second, and a fast way to get 5 points is to complete a good article review. Given that the January 2022 Good Article Nomination Backlog Drive is active for another 10 days, you might be interested in pitching in. Complete one review, and you'll be on to the next round in WikiCup; complete two or three, and you'll also be eligible to win some barnstars. As always, quality reviews with attention to detail are expected. Cheers, -- Usernameunique ( talk) 19:40, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
