When you're able to, I would appreciate you reading my comments in this ANI thread. I'd like you to be aware of this because in your comment here, you were the one user who agreed with me that it was probable the user behind the "race and intelligence" RFC was a parody account. I'd like you to be aware that I knew more about this than I initially let on, because I was a member of the Slack server where the parody trolling was being coordinated. I posted a link to the Slack server in the ANI thread, although the server has been deleted now. I'm sorry for not disclosing this detail earlier; in the earlier arbitration request I was hoping I could present a case for what I knew what was going on without betraying any private information.
You might be interested to know that when the same people were doing the same thing at RationalWiki, there was a nearly identical situation involving someone else. There was one user, who called himself "Concerned", who knew exactly what was being done to these articles and tried to stop it, but nobody else listened to him. You can see an example of that in this discussion, as well as the subsequent discussion directly below it. Like me, "Concerned" was blocked for making what everyone else assumed to be a false accusation, eventually permanently.
It isn't all that important to me whether I get blocked again at ANI, but I'd like to know what I should do with the information I have from Slack about what's been done to these articles. While the parody material was being inserted I made every effort stop it, and my efforts were both futile and widely regarded as disruptive. A few users are telling me that I should email ArbCom about what's been happening, but I know emailing ArbCom will result in no action, because that's always been the result when other people have emailed ArbCom about similar issues in the past. Is there any other course of action you'd recommend here? 2600:1004:B150:FD91:ED6E:C62F:3958:DF62 ( talk) 19:09, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Small text has been used for scientific authorities in taxoboxes since 30 May 2004 (well before I started editing here!). The style seems very consistently used in article text as well. But in response to a query at Template_talk:Speciesbox#Small_text, I tried to find the convention in the MoS. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Scientific names is the obvious place, but it's not there. Do you know whether it is written up, and if so where? Even if it is elsewhere, it could usefully be added to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Scientific names (which could also usefully have a short cut).

Hi. I would be curious to know who those two admins are who regained their bit. I'm sure the circumstances are very different and in the case of BHG, I and many are of the opinion that her desysoping was a heavy-handed remedy even if, according to some, it was a close call. You can email me in confidence if you don't want to make it public. I won't use it anywhere - my discretion is still something I can be trusted for. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 12:39, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
I've done my own homework in the meantime (it took an hour) and I only came across 2 admins who have been resysoped by RfA in the last 5 years. They were both returning after their bits had expired for lack of activity. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 13:36, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

"they go further in some directions than I'm willing to." - thats because you still have a fundamentally good opinion of people and care about others. Whereas I am cynical, assume there is a hidden angenda, and DGAF if I lob a cat amongst the pigeons. I still think WP:AGF is absolutely the worst guideline written and should be nuked from orbit.

A tag has been placed on Category:Geography and place list templates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Have you seen {{
Infobox person/Internet info}}
? It is used in 62 infoboxes to add "a person's internet presence". |website=
(of the main infobox) is for one "official website". Even ELs are limited per
WP:ELMIN and multiple Social Media links are discouraged per
WP:ELNO. Use of this seems highly promotional (see the parameters). There is already {{
Infobox YouTube personality}}
for people known primarily for Youtube. The template doesn't have a TP. Comments? Should this be nominated for deletion as a back-door method to expand infoboxes with inappropriate info.
MB 22:33, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
|website=
can show more than one. The entire line of template code for that in {{
infobox person}}
is |data70={{{website|{{{homepage|{{{URL|{{{url|}}}}}}}}}}}}
, so it is freeform input. One could put in two links to official sites using {{
plainlist}}
or whatever. —
