I don’t understand why you removed my revisions. The article as written implies that institutional racism exists in policing though this is disputed by many credible studies. I merely changed it to be neutral and not assume facts not known to be true. It also includes information which is not supported by the articles cited, specifically that police have instigated violence at the protests and that there are examples of white supremacist organizations. The articles cited on the police instigation only imply this without providing any specifics. The article cited with respect to “examples” of white supremacist activity deals with only one very limited incident in Stone Mountain, Georgia which as far as I can tell was not even a significant site of protests last year. I believe my edits significantly improved the accuracy and neutrality of the article. Gregausman ( talk) 04:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

The reason I know this is because I've been to the two villages where this language was spoken. The Nondalton Clinic said one person in Nondalton is left in Nondalton that speaks the language.

Hi GorillaWarfare, I was talking to a few editors about how to streamline a BLP page which had become a bullet list of trivial events and mentions. Given that that was (in part) your concern in our last discussion I wanted to bounce their approach off you and see how it struck you.
Rather than putting every single reference in the history section, the major points could be pulled out to a separate section and summarized. This structures the article in such a way as to make trivia addition less likely since it would need to rise to a theme to add. IE it wouldn't make sense to add a single incident, but only groups of events along a similar topic.
I really like this structure and I think you can see how much cleaner pages like CNN's read that have adopted that approach. I wanted to pick your brain on this before developing a similar structure for the Babylon Bee article.
Hope this finds you well, Squatch347 ( talk) 17:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Rather than putting every single reference in the history section, the major points could be pulled out to a separate section and summarized?

Thanks for bringing that Tweet/Youtube video to my attention. Good stuff, but I guess that just shows the extent to which the public doesn't understand this thing of ours. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 20:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
The way the media world works is that if a defamatory comment is made about someone, every news paper and media organization comments on it and rarely anyone defends the person being slandered. Quoting from Acosta, "We all get put through the meatgrinder in this town". And that is a major problem in today's world. Few will standby a loner if he gets crushed by the media which is why we need journals, and historians of different political leanings to take the opinion away from inflammatory articles and focus on the facts. That is also why blanket trusted sources (as in every article sourced to that org gets a 100% trustworthy ranking) does not work. For instance years ago Wikipedia would have reported that Sir Cliff Richards sexually abused children only for that to be proven as fake news years later. Putting unproven allegations on a person's page(or on the company that they own's page) is wrong in itself as it makes the reader assume they have done the alleged offense.

You then undid that and I did too, saying this needed to move to the discussion page.may be the basis of the misunderstanding: the onus is on you to make a case for new edits which have been changed; not on other editors to maintain the status quo.
it was clear that neither you or him are interested in actually finding common ground and a good solution to the disputeis about. Asking you to stop edit warring (which three reverts in just over 24 hours absolutely is) with a templated warning is by no stretch of the imagination harassment.

The ADL said it has documented antisemitism on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram, with messages including explicit praise for Hitler, promoting tropes about Jewish control and demonizing all Jews.
The ADL says it found more than 17,000 tweets using variations of the phrase, “Hitler was right” between May 7 and May 14, 2021.
The ADL and SLPC are the language specific domain experts.
Given the project is now calling other social media networks antisemitic based on non topical academics, when can we expect to see the above added to the social networks pages' mentioned? 2601:46:C801:B1F0:941C:C6D:97E3:611 ( talk) 03:53, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Thanks for the note. There is a lot of material on the talk page about this (most of it from me, but see in particular the quotation from Daily Nous for the insider view). Over the past year I have been editing the article toward increasing accordance with the original and virtually exclusive academic use of the term "the trolley problem". The nonacademic use is sometimes different but there are few if any RS that clearly use Trolley Problem to refer to individual scenarios, rather than for brevity after stating "the" problem in the conventional academic terms. 73.89.25.252 ( talk) 17:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked, initially for up to one month, and then with blocks increasing in duration to a maximum of one year.
I don't think Snopes is an objective fact-checker. There is no transparency as to the methodology behind Snopes' fact-checking, which is why it's my belief that references to Snopes should be removed from Wikipedia in general as political commentary or opinion under the guise of "fact-checking." They claim it is objectively false that the California bill to ban conversion therapy is tantamount to banning the Bible--when there is enough room in the CA bill for a judge to claim that the Bible is a tool of conversion therapy and therefore must be banned. This is why I removed Snopes and replaced it with "critics" claim that Wheeler's interpretation is false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:C401:990:95F9:807E:D254:68D ( talk) 04:21, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi—saw your edit here and just wanted to ask ... am I missing a bit in WP:BLPPRIVACY that mentions names of family members? Not disputing that your edit was the right call, but I just wasn't aware that we thought there were BLP considerations around names of family members when those names are published in online sources. For example, I write articles about a lot of baseball players, and the team bios tend to list the name of their spouses and/or children, and that information makes it into a lot of baseball bios. Wasn't sure if we should think about that differently or if perhaps this is just a context-specific thing given the trolling/campaigns against Levine. Thanks! Go Phightins ! 18:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

I saw this edit of yours, assumed it was a revert of some IP's vandalism and spent 5 minutes trying to figure out whose attack on that page you thought you'd thwarted, and why it was bad enough that you'd call them an incel and announce their geoloc in an edit summary before it occurred to me to actually read the content you "restored". Even then, it took me another minute or two to recognize that you were just adding some new content.

Why did you you delete that draft? Hoponpop69 ( talk) 19:34, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Hoponpop has now filed a "grievance" against you: WP:ANI#Grievance against User:GorillaWarfare.

Hi GW,
In light of a FOX New's segment on Christine Weston Chandler's legal troubles, and the responses it is garnering from media figures (both positive and negative), I believe that a case may be made for Christine passing this site's notability guidelines, and that an encyclopedic article may be written about her. I believe she represents a notable figure in that she is being cited by political pundits in regards to gender identity in the criminal justice system. I would be willing to write a working draft for this article, one which hopefully satisfies your concerns around WP:BLP1E and WP:BLPCRIME. Christine has appeared in articles from reliable sources prior to the current allegations, and has even been noted for her contributions to Shrek Retold, and so while Christine is only now receiving wide media coverage, she may be called a notable figure for a variety of reasons.
Assuming I follow Wikipedia's policies and standards, would I be within my rights to create such a draft? If this would be inappropriate for me, who would be responsible for assessing if Christine's mainstream coverage constitutes notability?

Hi GorillaWarfare, I was wondering if I could get your advice on what I think is a possible sockpuppet. This is not the first time I've noticed this behavior from this user, but this is the most blatant.
Here is the edit by Orientls on 14Jul21: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&type=revision&diff=1037175322&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source
I reverted it a few days ago because it seemed to strip out content (my revert is here just for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&diff=prev&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source)
Then along comes a different user, TolWol56 who makes a couple of edits that are essentially identical to Orientls with only a few minor variations. The language is just too identical to be pure accident: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&type=revision&diff=1037175322&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source

Hi Molly, I hope all is well with you. As you're probably aware, the WMF has opened nominations for its Movement Charter Drafting Committee. I hope you'll consider applying – we desperately need people with your experience, skill, and community standing to stand for the committee. Out of all the strategy work going on right now, this committee will be the most important by a significant margin. My personal take is that the Movement Charter, whether intended this way or not, will result in a considerable consolidation of power in the WMF (and out of the project communities). If you're seated, regardless of whether you agree with my take, I'll rest easier knowing you're on it. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 06:15, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

I don’t understand why you removed my revisions. The article as written implies that institutional racism exists in policing though this is disputed by many credible studies. I merely changed it to be neutral and not assume facts not known to be true. It also includes information which is not supported by the articles cited, specifically that police have instigated violence at the protests and that there are examples of white supremacist organizations. The articles cited on the police instigation only imply this without providing any specifics. The article cited with respect to “examples” of white supremacist activity deals with only one very limited incident in Stone Mountain, Georgia which as far as I can tell was not even a significant site of protests last year. I believe my edits significantly improved the accuracy and neutrality of the article. Gregausman ( talk) 04:02, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi GorillaWarfare, I was talking to a few editors about how to streamline a BLP page which had become a bullet list of trivial events and mentions. Given that that was (in part) your concern in our last discussion I wanted to bounce their approach off you and see how it struck you.
Rather than putting every single reference in the history section, the major points could be pulled out to a separate section and summarized. This structures the article in such a way as to make trivia addition less likely since it would need to rise to a theme to add. IE it wouldn't make sense to add a single incident, but only groups of events along a similar topic.
I really like this structure and I think you can see how much cleaner pages like CNN's read that have adopted that approach. I wanted to pick your brain on this before developing a similar structure for the Babylon Bee article.
Hope this finds you well, Squatch347 ( talk) 17:15, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

The way the media world works is that if a defamatory comment is made about someone, every news paper and media organization comments on it and rarely anyone defends the person being slandered. Quoting from Acosta, "We all get put through the meatgrinder in this town". And that is a major problem in today's world. Few will standby a loner if he gets crushed by the media which is why we need journals, and historians of different political leanings to take the opinion away from inflammatory articles and focus on the facts. That is also why blanket trusted sources (as in every article sourced to that org gets a 100% trustworthy ranking) does not work. For instance years ago Wikipedia would have reported that Sir Cliff Richards sexually abused children only for that to be proven as fake news years later. Putting unproven allegations on a person's page(or on the company that they own's page) is wrong in itself as it makes the reader assume they have done the alleged offense.

Let the record show I tried my best, but with the conversation on my talk page and the discussion on Talk:Eugene Gu, I believe that AsianAmericanAdvocate and the IP are incapable of a rational policy-based discussion together. AsianAmericanAdvocate actually reverted my removing personal attacks against them because they wanted a record to paint the other person in a bad light. However you choose to intervene, the discussion isn't helping anyone–I'll start an actual RfC once they're out of the picture. theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) ( they/them) 09:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Regarding the Winston Boogie Smith protests, should the library in Wikimedia Commons be renamed? Are you able to do that? There are several photos here [2] that are really about Winston Boogie Smith protests, not the actually killing of Winston Smith.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Thanks for the note. There is a lot of material on the talk page about this (most of it from me, but see in particular the quotation from Daily Nous for the insider view). Over the past year I have been editing the article toward increasing accordance with the original and virtually exclusive academic use of the term "the trolley problem". The nonacademic use is sometimes different but there are few if any RS that clearly use Trolley Problem to refer to individual scenarios, rather than for brevity after stating "the" problem in the conventional academic terms. 73.89.25.252 ( talk) 17:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Should any user subject to a restriction in this case violate that restriction, that user may be blocked, initially for up to one month, and then with blocks increasing in duration to a maximum of one year.
I don't think Snopes is an objective fact-checker. There is no transparency as to the methodology behind Snopes' fact-checking, which is why it's my belief that references to Snopes should be removed from Wikipedia in general as political commentary or opinion under the guise of "fact-checking." They claim it is objectively false that the California bill to ban conversion therapy is tantamount to banning the Bible--when there is enough room in the CA bill for a judge to claim that the Bible is a tool of conversion therapy and therefore must be banned. This is why I removed Snopes and replaced it with "critics" claim that Wheeler's interpretation is false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:642:C401:990:95F9:807E:D254:68D ( talk) 04:21, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi—saw your edit here and just wanted to ask ... am I missing a bit in WP:BLPPRIVACY that mentions names of family members? Not disputing that your edit was the right call, but I just wasn't aware that we thought there were BLP considerations around names of family members when those names are published in online sources. For example, I write articles about a lot of baseball players, and the team bios tend to list the name of their spouses and/or children, and that information makes it into a lot of baseball bios. Wasn't sure if we should think about that differently or if perhaps this is just a context-specific thing given the trolling/campaigns against Levine. Thanks! Go Phightins ! 18:47, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi GW,
In light of a FOX New's segment on Christine Weston Chandler's legal troubles, and the responses it is garnering from media figures (both positive and negative), I believe that a case may be made for Christine passing this site's notability guidelines, and that an encyclopedic article may be written about her. I believe she represents a notable figure in that she is being cited by political pundits in regards to gender identity in the criminal justice system. I would be willing to write a working draft for this article, one which hopefully satisfies your concerns around WP:BLP1E and WP:BLPCRIME. Christine has appeared in articles from reliable sources prior to the current allegations, and has even been noted for her contributions to Shrek Retold, and so while Christine is only now receiving wide media coverage, she may be called a notable figure for a variety of reasons.
Assuming I follow Wikipedia's policies and standards, would I be within my rights to create such a draft? If this would be inappropriate for me, who would be responsible for assessing if Christine's mainstream coverage constitutes notability?
Thank you, JayBogdweller ( talk) 03:56, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

an article on her has been written it's been done to harass her, and attempts at it have been going on for over a decade.However, I believe creating a WP article is not harrassment in itself; David Bawden, who is also mocked by some, has a WP page, and Christine W.C. has an article on ru WP. I do not appreciate the fact you are implying my draft article is a form of harrassment (which is implied in

Hi GorillaWarfare, I was wondering if I could get your advice on what I think is a possible sockpuppet. This is not the first time I've noticed this behavior from this user, but this is the most blatant.
Here is the edit by Orientls on 14Jul21: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&type=revision&diff=1037175322&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source
I reverted it a few days ago because it seemed to strip out content (my revert is here just for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&diff=prev&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source)
Then along comes a different user, TolWol56 who makes a couple of edits that are essentially identical to Orientls with only a few minor variations. The language is just too identical to be pure accident: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Widow&type=revision&diff=1037175322&oldid=1036602252&diffmode=source

Hi Molly, I hope all is well with you. As you're probably aware, the WMF has opened nominations for its Movement Charter Drafting Committee. I hope you'll consider applying – we desperately need people with your experience, skill, and community standing to stand for the committee. Out of all the strategy work going on right now, this committee will be the most important by a significant margin. My personal take is that the Movement Charter, whether intended this way or not, will result in a considerable consolidation of power in the WMF (and out of the project communities). If you're seated, regardless of whether you agree with my take, I'll rest easier knowing you're on it. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 06:15, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
