Hi! Three years ago you opened this SPI related to Doon Business School. I'm wondering if it's worth adding the creator of Draft:Doon Business School Group to it? Obviously I can't see the content of the earlier deleted versions, and the time gap between the attempts is also considerable, so the only 'evidence' I have is the subject connection which may not be enough.

Firstly, appreciate your work here so far and thank you for the steer. I see you added a {{Peacock}} and {{Third-party}} tags to the article this morning. Wondering what specific areas you need me to tweak on this article as learning from an admin like you can help me get better at my work. I look forward to your reply.

Cordless Larry I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to address some concerns I have regarding the recent tagging of certain articles and the perception that my efforts to comply with guidelines and seek community input have been disregarded. I have always aimed to maintain a respectful and cooperative relationship with you, but I feel that there may have been a misunderstanding or oversight in this case.
Firstly, I would like to discuss the article that was tagged despite being worked on diligently for a considerable period. As you may have noticed, the article in question was tagged for a year, and both I and another experienced editor, Melcous, have made significant adjustments and improvements to it. We ensured that all the necessary links were included as well. Therefore, it came as quite a surprise when the article was tagged again, even though I believed all the requirements had been fulfilled. I must admit that I find this situation disheartening, as it seems to infringe upon my rights as an editor.
Similarly, I have encountered a similar situation with the article on Vusi Thembekwayo. I made a genuine effort to implement the suggestions you provided and sought advice from the wider Wikipedia community through the Teahouse platform with also an experienced editor - Scope creep doing an awesome job on it too. All these are evidenced in the edits. The input from various experienced editors allowed us to refine and enhance the article to align with the guidelines. However, I now feel uncertain about the value placed on these contributions and whether they are truly recognised as efforts to improve the article within the Wikipedia community.
I believe in fostering an environment of collaboration and open dialogue within the Wikipedia community. It is crucial to acknowledge the contributions of experienced editors who invest their time and expertise to enhance the quality of articles. Therefore, I kindly request you reconsider the tagging of these articles and re-evaluate the improvements made with the assistance of the wider community.
I genuinely value your expertise and guidance as an administrator, and I am open to any constructive feedback or suggestions you may have. By working together, we can ensure the continued growth and improvement of Wikipedia as a reliable source of knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Oceanview1590 ( talk) 07:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi Larry. With respect to the changes I've made to the page on myself Mike Buchanan (politician) you raise the issue of 'reliable sources'. Of course I understand the importance of reliable sources, but there's an issue I keep raising with Wiki editors, but never get any engagement. Two key points:
- the publications considered 'reliable sources' - I assume you're referring to the mainstream media - are anything BUT reliable with regards to men's issues and feminism. They either give no exposure to Men's Rights Activists and anti-feminists (such as myself) or they mislead.
- conversely, Wiki editors - feminists, many of them - freely use non-reliable feminist sources (e.g. Cambridge University-related website 'Varsity') to corrupt pages such as mine.
I've said it before, but the corruption of Wikipedia by feminists is self-evident on every page concerned with gender politics. Mike3167 ( talk) 11:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
...many months ago you communicated w/ me re: my father Sen and Judge Mario Umana of Bostoc, career and events spanning 1931 -2005. Since then, I have downloaded from four archival websites (e.g. newspaperarchives.com. ancestry.com etc.) almost 750 documents/articles/sources about my father and his career of which we, his family, are so proud. I wish, as I am so computer and internet-challenged, that I could sit down with someone or talk, not by chatbox or email alone, and be able to paint a more accurate and powerful portrait than the mere thumbnail sketch afforded by the research of others. He was historically a much more significant player in Boston and as a law prof, political press secretary and researcher it lies with me to provide it. I know you suggested Teahouse...it still is so removed and not hands on and unwieldy. Has nothing changed? I have so much source material for footnotes...please advise.

Hi Cordless Larry I am reaching out to you since you are an administrator and somewhat familiar with ethnic groups in Britain. An account named Raguzz has been mass deleting information on the British Indian page. This edit here in particular removing information from the politics section : [1] This is clear cut point of view editing deleting information from several well sourced references and replacing them with the views of a very questionable organisation called the Hindu council of Uk which is apparently aligned with far right Hindu BJP in India. Plenty of sources covered the Indian hard line Hindus who wish to influence voters in Britain the CNN itself talk about the influence of far right Hindu groups on swaying voters in Britain along with many others sources [2] as I said its well sourced and most definitely not a "minor aspect" Look at the the flimsy edit summary reasoning of removing such important information is laughable they are unable to provide solid reasons apart from their own opinions its a case of I dont like it. Furthermore they are also removing information on social issues claiming the sources are old. Would you kindly look into this when you have the time as I would like to refrain from engaging in a edit war with a user who is clearly only here to push a particular pov.

Hi. I wanted to bring to your attention user Zaquezipe who insists on editing Colombia's page even though people differ from his standpoint. He has a thing for overestimating the percentage of minority peoples and claims the country has some sort of prosecution policy going on against them with no actual proof to back up such claims. Please help us resolve this, I think he might want to create a page where everyone can discuss and share their point of view and not edit as he wishes. Also, I've noticed the ethnic subsection now is too large, the article is not exclusively about Colombia's ethnic breakdown. Most of his disputes seem to be race-related. Thank you.

While acknowledging your long history as an administrator and editor, I am perplexed by your recent challenges to editors on the International Churches of Christ Talk page. In my case, you violated the guidance on the COI Noticeboard that says, “This page should only be used when ordinary talk page discussion has been attempted and failed to resolve the issue, such as when an editor has repeatedly added problematic material over an extended period” There was no attempt on your part to resolve any issue that you had with my only edit to the article, a minor edit of repositioning a single sentence in the article, prior to suggesting that I had a conflict of interest on the COI Noticeboard. Further guidance from the COI Noticeboard states, “The COI guideline does not absolutely prohibit people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject. Editors who have such a connection can still comply with the COI guideline by discussing proposed article changes first, or by making uncontroversial edits. COI allegations should not be used as a ‘trump card’ in disputes over article content.” I have been diligent in honoring WP policies by only posting substantive comments on the Talk page. Please consider this outreach as my attempt to resolve directly with you my concern about your conduct as a WP Administrator as required by WP:ADMIN. During the past 8 months, you have become a frequent editor on the International Churches of Christ article making substantive comments in the article and on the Talk page about the character of the church. At the same time, it appears to me you are wielding the powers afforded you as an Administrator to squelch the input of other editors, like me, who are wanting to debate WP policies to challenge your position on the subject matter of the article. I believe your inclusion of me in a post on the COI Noticeboard for making a minor, non-substantive edit is one example of your questionable conduct and I have appealed to you to remove that posting, so far to no effect. However, you also referenced in the COI Noticeboard post another of your archived COI Noticeboard postings about another editor where you proposed blocking the editing privileges of that editor. Is that your ultimate intention with me? According to WP:INVOLVED, “In general, editors should not act as administrators in disputes in which they have been involved. This is because involved administrators may be, or appear to be, incapable of making objective decisions in disputes to which they have been a party or about which they have strong feelings.” An explanation of such curious behavior on your part may be offered by your archived comments in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 414#Reliability and independence of sources for International Churches of Christ. You entered the following comment on the “about-self” sourcing of a book written by a church member that was published by an entity with a connection to the church, "Given that the group has been described as a cult, I'm not sure there are such things as non-controversial about-self details! Cordless Larry ( talk) 20:44, 6 September 2023 (UTC)," To me, this statement reflects a lack of objectivity about one of the issues at hand – the allegations about the cult status of the church. You appear to have already reached a conclusion on the matter. In my view, such bias has no place in the actions of an Administrator. I welcome your reply as we attempt to resolve this issue.

In my case, you violated the guidance on the COI Noticeboard that says, “This page should only be used when ordinary talk page discussion has been attempted and failed to resolve the issue, such as when an editor has repeatedly added problematic material over an extended period” There was no attempt on your part to resolve any issue that you had with my only edit to the article, a minor edit of repositioning a single sentence in the article, prior to suggesting that I had a conflict of interest on the COI Noticeboard. Further guidance from the COI Noticeboard states, “The COI guideline does not absolutely prohibit people with a connection to a subject from editing articles on that subject. Editors who have such a connection can still comply with the COI guideline by discussing proposed article changes first, or by making uncontroversial edits. COI allegations should not be used as a ‘trump card’ in disputes over article content.” I have been diligent in honoring WP policies by only posting substantive comments on the Talk page. Please consider this outreach as my attempt to resolve directly with you my concern about your conduct as a WP Administrator as required by WP:ADMIN. During the past 8 months, you have become a frequent editor on the International Churches of Christ article making substantive comments in the article and on the Talk page about the character of the church. At the same time, it appears to me you are wielding the powers afforded you as an Administrator to squelch the input of other editors, like me, who are wanting to debate WP policies to challenge your position on the subject matter of the article. I believe your inclusion of me in a post on the COI Noticeboard for making a minor, non-substantive edit is one example of your questionable conduct and I have appealed to you to remove that posting, so far to no effect. However, you also referenced in the COI Noticeboard post another of your archived COI Noticeboard postings about another editor where you proposed blocking the editing privileges of that editor. Is that your ultimate intention with me? According to WP:INVOLVED, “In general, editors should not act as administrators in disputes in which they have been involved. This is because involved administrators may be, or appear to be, incapable of making objective decisions in disputes to which they have been a party or about which they have strong feelings.” An explanation of such curious behavior on your part may be offered by your archived comments in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 414#Reliability and independence of sources for International Churches of Christ. You entered the following comment on the “about-self” sourcing of a book written by a church member that was published by an entity with a connection to the church, "Given that the group has been described as a cult, I'm not sure there are such things as non-controversial about-self details! Cordless Larry ( talk) 20:44, 6 September 2023 (UTC)," To me, this statement reflects a lack of objectivity about one of the issues at hand – the allegations about the cult status of the church. You appear to have already reached a conclusion on the matter. In my view, such bias has no place in the actions of an Administrator. I welcome your reply as we attempt to resolve this issue.
