What's the reason for removing this reference to the Dictionary of Welsh Biography? Deb ( talk) 21:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).
Hi, I really don't get that. Would you be able to elaborate? From my point of view, what I'm seeing is two editors changing the consensus-backed policy wording just because they disagree with that consensus. Is there anything I'm missing there? – Uanfala (talk) 23:23, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
continuously disputed, but as far as I can see only since yesterday: and it's because of this disagreement that a new RfC was started. I really don't see how we can justify disregarding the existing consensus unless and until a new one is reached at that RfC. – Uanfala (talk) 14:30, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi. The arbitration case request currently titled "George Galloway" has reached an absolute majority of active arbitrators to open a case, and we are currently working to get it open. During discussion among arbitrators, we considered that it may be ideal to proceed with the case on an accelerated schedule for a couple reasons. The community has already spent substantial time sifting through the contributions relevant to this case, including presenting them at the case request, so the Committee expects that evidence will not take multiple weeks to compile. Further, an accelerated schedule avoids a long drawn-out case which is usually perceived negatively by all participants. Rest assured that, if we proceed with an accelerated schedule, the Arbitration Committee will still review all the evidence, public and private, as well as the contributions to the workshop phase. If it becomes necessary, we will also extend the schedule to the usual time to allow for additional contributions and review. As you are one of the parties in the case request, could you please comment on your opinion of this possibility? ~ Rob13 Talk 10:59, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/BLP issues on British politics articles. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/BLP issues on British politics articles/Evidence. Please add your evidence by June 22, 2018, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/BLP issues on British politics articles/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 14:09, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

You should edit more carefully. Your original edit introduced link errors into the page, so a bot fixed it by re-adding the Amazon links in the text rather than in the references section. I moved them back. Then you reverted me thus moving the links, than you want to remove, back into the text. Robman94 ( talk) 14:54, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Is once again getting heat. The recent removal (and swift reinstatement by Roxy) makes more sense now. It appears his solicitors are targeting individual editors. I have left a fairly candid reponse on the talkpage but I believe its rather tasteless for him to rope in his fellow University professors to apply pressure.

Hi. I'm a summer intern working at a company called Strategic Vision. I guess a while back they hired a freelancer to make a Wikipedia page for them, but they 1) didn't really know Wikipedia--and, by extension, its rules--very well, and 2) ran into some bad luck in that the person they contracted ended up being Mar11, who was recently blocked indefinitely for meatpuppetry and undisclosed paid editing. In light of that, I have read up on a lot of policy and guidelines, and would like to draft a new Strategic Vision (company) page to submit to Articles for Consideration for review. I want to make sure all the rules are followed, including full paid disclosure, to maintain a neutral point of view and to ensure the page is not used as a means of promotion. That being the case, I just wanted to check with you before doing anything, since you originally deleted the page after it had become a draft. Let me know if you have any specific objections, instructions, advice, etc. Thanks! RevanantScholar ( talk) 22:33, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
Please try and be constructive. Rather than summarily delete the Urban Splash article, it would be better to restore the version before the recent COI re-write. If you think an article should be deleted, you should do so via AfD or PROD. Sionk ( talk) 22:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, the Barrero article had been prodded and deprodded so the next stage for deletion should be AFD if you want deletion although he has a high cite level. Moving the article to userspace because it is an autobio is not valid as autobios are allowed and salting was unjustified, thanks Atlantic306 ( talk) 11:35, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Assam is a large state in India with more than 30 Million people residing in the state. There are multiple tourist places of importance in the state. I added the most important places. The ones which are added are not the post important ones like nobody in Assam knows about the Panbari mosque. Its not a tourist place.
You have reverted the changes saying that the gallery images are way too many. How many you think are good number of images to be displayed in the gallery?
Also, I would like to know what Wikipedia policy/guidelines say about gallery images and if there is a maximum number of images which can be added to the gallery in a certain page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saumya.purkayastha ( talk • contribs) 04:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
The number of people was just to explain you the size of the state. Its a big state and its obvious that there will be that many pages of attraction. Wikipedia is supposed to be an exhaustive source of knowledge.
What is the maximum number of images which can be added to a page and who decides that? Are you the final authority on that? If so, please dictate how many maximum images would you like on Wikipedia pages on which you do not have any knowledge about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saumya.purkayastha ( talk • contribs) 05:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

I hit twenty four thousand edits tonight and became a senior editor on Wikipedia. Thank for your help over the years. - O.R. Comms 03:55, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of questionable diseases is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of questionable diseases until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bondegezou ( talk) 17:33, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi JzG. Regarding your nomination of the File:ChaosMagicEvolution.svg, and your removal of this image from the chaos magic page, if you compare it to the image from the original text here [3] you'll see that I've redrawn it so that it doesn't violate the copyright. Hence it is both sourced, and also my own work. Rune370 ( talk) 20:11, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi JzG. I'm not sure which spamlinks you spotted in the edits from Digijio ( talk · contribs). I stopped looking too closely when the pattern of copyright violations, unreliable/poor sources, and promotional content became apparent. I did notice a dealerspike.com spamlink, but it looked to me that the website (created and managed by dealerspike) was set up in such a way that a citation bot would pull the link and include it in a reference automatically, like this. I've never seen this before, and was thinking on pointing it out at RSPAM. What did you spot? Have you seen anything like the dealerspike citations? -- Ronz ( talk) 20:45, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi Guy/JzG. Thank you for replying to my comments on the chaos magic talk page, I appreciate it. I'd also like to apologise for my slightly snarky comments towards you the other day, I allowed my frustration to get the better of me, and I shouldn't have.
I've added some new content to the chaos magic article, under the "concept and terminology" section near the top, in an attempt to address the "mainstream view" that needs to be given more weight. I've tried to address the mainstream view of magic historically, theologically, anthropologically, psychologically, and within occultism more generally. Then and only then have I moved on to addressing the viewpoint of chaos magic. Would you mind casting your eye over it and telling me whether you think this now gives adequate weight to the mainstream view? And, if so, whether the tag at the top of the article can now be removed. Or, if not, how precisely you think it needs to be dealt with? Rune370 ( talk) 21:37, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
