The following sanction now applies to you:
You have been indefinitely topic banned from all pages related to climate change, broadly construed. Please read WP:TBAN to see what "topic banned" means
You have been sanctioned for persistent disruptive editing on
Myron Ebell and its talkpage. Your restoration of 8-year-old tags for tone and cleanup, with no specific claim of what the tone and cleanup issues might be , and no input on talk — merely "I did not add these tags. Please respect the other editors who did"
[1] — is the last straw. I notice you made that edit after claiming no less than three times on the talkpage that you were leaving the article. It's getting quite hard to take those claims seriously. Your topic ban includes
Myron Ebell and its talkpage, naturally.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Bishonen | talk 16:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

User:Drmies and User:Randykitty: Before I was topic-banned, User:Bishonen redacted someone's comment about Hillary on Donald Trump's talkpage, and I called them out on it. How does that make them uninvolved? How is the topic ban not in retaliation? Note that I am not saying that it is, just wondering, given the curious context. Thank you.

Over at WP:Articles for deletion/Victorino Noval Foundation you've proposed that the foundation article be redirected to VIctorino Noval. The latter is still a red link. Does this mean you have plans to create an article? Let me know. Due to legal issues my guess is that it would be simpler to avoid this whole situation. Let the foundation article be deleted and not create anything new. I saw your note at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Victorino Noval Foundation. The status of Noval the person would be easier to cite than the status of the foundation. Generally we don't like to cite court documents even when they are provided online. They are primary sources and require interpretation. If the status of the foundation or the person has not been covered in the press we can leave it alone.

The article Ömer Vargı has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Pontotoc County, Mississippi 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 removed 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.

Ah, yes - I remember those lighthouses. Quite an interesting grouping - I remember at the time thinking how much I liked his work. Happy to be of help. :-)
Incidentally, I spent the day at the National Gallery of Art at their exhibit of works by Frédéric Bazille. Quite nice - I've long been familiar with his work from reproductions, but don't think I've ever had the chance to see anything of his in person. I think he's about my favorite of the Impressionists; I love his sense of light and color, which one of the labels suggested may have been derived from growing up in the Languedoc.

Re your review: All you have to do is check that the five main DYK criteria have been met. You do not have to recommend adding pictures or fixing a few redlinks. If the article has the requisite 1500-character length, all paragraphs have at least one cite, and is written neutrally ("burst in" is a little iffy) with no close paraphrasing, and if the nominator has performed an adequate QPQ, it is ready to go and you can give it a tick.

Hi, I know there are a lot of rules at DYK, but you might want to choose a nomination by a veteran editor who is familiar with all the rules so it'll go smoothly. For example, look for a current nomination by Gerda Arendt or Cwmhiraeth. You can use the Reviewer's Template in the DYK toolbox (it shows up at the right when you click on "Review or comment").

Hi, regarding your article, you need to put the reason for the subject's notability in the lead. Also, if you are a subscriber to Newspapers.com, you should be able to clip each article and link it, with an "open access" notation.

Hi, at John Green Sims House, the page is marked to be under active construction, i noticed after I started to edit there, after it popped up in my notifications for some reason. If you can use it, anyhow, below is a copy-paste-ready reference.
The NRHP reference there was:
<ref name="npsform">{{cite web|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: John Green Sims House|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/48724e93-d62a-48a8-9a36-902667d14ef7|website=National Park Service|publisher=United States Department of the Interior|accessdate=October 10, 2017}}</ref>
For Tennessee NRHPs, using the NRHP reference number rather than hard-coded URL in references works for the text document and also for the photos document, as in:
<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=87001937}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: John Green Sims House |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Miranda T. Roche |date=July 10, 1987 |accessdate=October 10, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=87001937|photos=y|title=13 photos from 1985}}.</ref>
which displays as: [1]
References
You can also use hard-coded references for both the text and photos docs. I don't claim that using the NRHP reference number is better, i just find it easier to use to cover both the docs once I verify that both the documents exist at an NP Gallery page like the NP Gallery page for John Green Sims House.

Hi there Zigzig20s. I'm also going to ping @ Billmeguire:, who has made a lot of edits to Woodland Plantation (Church Hill, Mississippi). I've been trying to find an exact location for Woodland Plantation. According to the map here, the center of the property is about 31°40′24.41″N 91°13′38.38″W / 31.6734472°N 91.2273278°W. However, the house on the property--which has three dormer windows on each side (see https://www.apps.mdah.ms.gov/nom/prop/15282.pdf) and should be easy to spot from a satellite view--is not to be found. It's very unusual for a NRHP home to have its exterior completely renovated. I wonder if it's been de-listed (or if I missed it!). Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 12:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Just saying that somebody was a "household name" is not a notability criterion per se.

That Forrest monument (or perhaps "monstrosity" is a better word) that you are looking for an article about it not really the sort of sculpture I do. When I write articles I mostly use sources that I have at home. I have a good sculpture and architecture library and although I will augment articles with www references, I prefer not to. I have no mention of that thing here so prefer not to have at it. Also my other issues are not so much feeling unappreciated (the low-priority thing was as much a joke as anything else) and although I have not done a s much as you have on wikipedia, I've been here for many years and I understand how things work. What I have with the Confederate List is a disagreement as to what constitutes a monument or memorial and what refers to the Confederacy and with the meaning of the chart or graph that is presented as a sort of center piece of the article. As if the whole point of the article is to prove what racists Southerners were and are rather than just presenting a list. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 15:47, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Zigzig20s. I've corrected the relationship of Armistead Maupin to General Lawrence O'Bryan Branch in his article: the general was his great-great-grandfather, not his grandfather. If you read the quoted source carefully, you'll note that the person speaking about "Grandpa Branch" is Armistead Maupin's grandmother (whose maiden name was Mary Armisted Jones, and who married Alfred McGhee Maupin, but who is annoyingly referred to in Logical Family only as Mimi). This is a book that would have been much improved if it included full names, some dates, and a family tree, but alas like many autobiographies it makes for confused genealogists. I also found an interview with Sarah Jane Morris who says that she is Maupin's second cousin, so they would not share a grandparent, but a great-grandparent. - Nunh-huh 09:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Could you please remove the NRHP document reference from Mollie and Neel Glenn House. It doesn't work; it is not your source for any information in the article. I'd say "please don't add it (i.e. delete it) if you're not going to check it", but I would really rather you keep it in and try it and like it (usually).
By the way, I got notification of the article, and I was going to happily refine the reference to add author and date of prep and more. I like it when others improve upon my own articles. But I don't want to follow in order to check and criticize. I don't want to have to figure out how to counter abuse of the new feature (ask Elkman to remove it, despite it really helping me? ask Elkman to add negative warning language? try to recruit NRHP editor others to combat abuse? be the enforcer everywhere myself, e.g. by opening wp:ANI incidents or otherwise opening conflict resolution processes at Wikipedia level? )
You could add https://www.tn.gov/news/2012/9/10/six-tennessee-sites-added-to-the-national-register-of-historic-places2.html and use it to add a bit to the article.

But you know how to put a map into the article. Just do it. Or don't you, seriously? It seems disruptive to call for others to come and add the word "Tennessee" to the infobox, and then to have to change the Talk page, too. So that they would be responsible if the coordinates are wrong, and that is then evident in the map?

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.
Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)By Lionelt
Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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".

The following sanction now applies to you:
You have been indefinitely topic banned from all pages related to climate change, broadly construed. Please read WP:TBAN to see what "topic banned" means
You have been sanctioned for persistent disruptive editing on
Myron Ebell and its talkpage. Your restoration of 8-year-old tags for tone and cleanup, with no specific claim of what the tone and cleanup issues might be , and no input on talk — merely "I did not add these tags. Please respect the other editors who did"
[1] — is the last straw. I notice you made that edit after claiming no less than three times on the talkpage that you were leaving the article. It's getting quite hard to take those claims seriously. Your topic ban includes
Myron Ebell and its talkpage, naturally.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Bishonen | talk 16:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Over at WP:Articles for deletion/Victorino Noval Foundation you've proposed that the foundation article be redirected to VIctorino Noval. The latter is still a red link. Does this mean you have plans to create an article? Let me know. Due to legal issues my guess is that it would be simpler to avoid this whole situation. Let the foundation article be deleted and not create anything new. I saw your note at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Victorino Noval Foundation. The status of Noval the person would be easier to cite than the status of the foundation. Generally we don't like to cite court documents even when they are provided online. They are primary sources and require interpretation. If the status of the foundation or the person has not been covered in the press we can leave it alone.

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Ah, yes - I remember those lighthouses. Quite an interesting grouping - I remember at the time thinking how much I liked his work. Happy to be of help. :-)
Incidentally, I spent the day at the National Gallery of Art at their exhibit of works by Frédéric Bazille. Quite nice - I've long been familiar with his work from reproductions, but don't think I've ever had the chance to see anything of his in person. I think he's about my favorite of the Impressionists; I love his sense of light and color, which one of the labels suggested may have been derived from growing up in the Languedoc.

List of monuments and memorials of the Confederate States of America - Zig, you've been editing long enough to know not to remove maintenance tags like you just did, and then claim some excuse that I added them based on IDONTLIKEIT. The issues have been raised on the TP - and when veteran editors challenge POV and a host of other issues, you discuss it, you don't remove the tags. Atsme 📞 📧 05:19, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Re your review: All you have to do is check that the five main DYK criteria have been met. You do not have to recommend adding pictures or fixing a few redlinks. If the article has the requisite 1500-character length, all paragraphs have at least one cite, and is written neutrally ("burst in" is a little iffy) with no close paraphrasing, and if the nominator has performed an adequate QPQ, it is ready to go and you can give it a tick.

Hi, I know there are a lot of rules at DYK, but you might want to choose a nomination by a veteran editor who is familiar with all the rules so it'll go smoothly. For example, look for a current nomination by Gerda Arendt or Cwmhiraeth. You can use the Reviewer's Template in the DYK toolbox (it shows up at the right when you click on "Review or comment"). If you have questions, I'd be happy to help; just drop me a line at my talk page. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 19:28, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your article, you need to put the reason for the subject's notability in the lead. Also, if you are a subscriber to Newspapers.com, you should be able to clip each article and link it, with an "open access" notation. Then the DYK reviewer can read the articles and check them for close paraphrasing. Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 17:50, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, at John Green Sims House, the page is marked to be under active construction, i noticed after I started to edit there, after it popped up in my notifications for some reason. If you can use it, anyhow, below is a copy-paste-ready reference.
The NRHP reference there was:
<ref name="npsform">{{cite web|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: John Green Sims House|url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/48724e93-d62a-48a8-9a36-902667d14ef7|website=National Park Service|publisher=United States Department of the Interior|accessdate=October 10, 2017}}</ref>
For Tennessee NRHPs, using the NRHP reference number rather than hard-coded URL in references works for the text document and also for the photos document, as in:
<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=87001937}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: John Green Sims House |publisher=[[National Park Service]]|author=Miranda T. Roche |date=July 10, 1987 |accessdate=October 10, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=87001937|photos=y|title=13 photos from 1985}}.</ref>
which displays as: [1]
References
You can also use hard-coded references for both the text and photos docs. I don't claim that using the NRHP reference number is better, i just find it easier to use to cover both the docs once I verify that both the documents exist at an NP Gallery page like the NP Gallery page for John Green Sims House.

Hi there Zigzig20s. I'm also going to ping @ Billmeguire:, who has made a lot of edits to Woodland Plantation (Church Hill, Mississippi). I've been trying to find an exact location for Woodland Plantation. According to the map here, the center of the property is about 31°40′24.41″N 91°13′38.38″W / 31.6734472°N 91.2273278°W. However, the house on the property--which has three dormer windows on each side (see https://www.apps.mdah.ms.gov/nom/prop/15282.pdf) and should be easy to spot from a satellite view--is not to be found. It's very unusual for a NRHP home to have its exterior completely renovated. I wonder if it's been de-listed (or if I missed it!). Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 12:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

That Forrest monument (or perhaps "monstrosity" is a better word) that you are looking for an article about it not really the sort of sculpture I do. When I write articles I mostly use sources that I have at home. I have a good sculpture and architecture library and although I will augment articles with www references, I prefer not to. I have no mention of that thing here so prefer not to have at it. Also my other issues are not so much feeling unappreciated (the low-priority thing was as much a joke as anything else) and although I have not done a s much as you have on wikipedia, I've been here for many years and I understand how things work. What I have with the Confederate List is a disagreement as to what constitutes a monument or memorial and what refers to the Confederacy and with the meaning of the chart or graph that is presented as a sort of center piece of the article. As if the whole point of the article is to prove what racists Southerners were and are rather than just presenting a list. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 15:47, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Zigzig20s. I've corrected the relationship of Armistead Maupin to General Lawrence O'Bryan Branch in his article: the general was his great-great-grandfather, not his grandfather. If you read the quoted source carefully, you'll note that the person speaking about "Grandpa Branch" is Armistead Maupin's grandmother (whose maiden name was Mary Armisted Jones, and who married Alfred McGhee Maupin, but who is annoyingly referred to in Logical Family only as Mimi). This is a book that would have been much improved if it included full names, some dates, and a family tree, but alas like many autobiographies it makes for confused genealogists. I also found an interview with Sarah Jane Morris who says that she is Maupin's second cousin, so they would not share a grandparent, but a great-grandparent. - Nunh-huh 09:31, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Could you please remove the NRHP document reference from Mollie and Neel Glenn House. It doesn't work; it is not your source for any information in the article. I'd say "please don't add it (i.e. delete it) if you're not going to check it", but I would really rather you keep it in and try it and like it (usually).
By the way, I got notification of the article, and I was going to happily refine the reference to add author and date of prep and more. I like it when others improve upon my own articles. But I don't want to follow in order to check and criticize. I don't want to have to figure out how to counter abuse of the new feature (ask Elkman to remove it, despite it really helping me? ask Elkman to add negative warning language? try to recruit NRHP editor others to combat abuse? be the enforcer everywhere myself, e.g. by opening wp:ANI incidents or otherwise opening conflict resolution processes at Wikipedia level? )
You could add https://www.tn.gov/news/2012/9/10/six-tennessee-sites-added-to-the-national-register-of-historic-places2.html and use it to add a bit to the article.

Hello. I moved his death entry at Deaths in 2018 to Deaths in January 2018, as Cornell University announced he died on January 8. However, since past monthly DI articles are considered archives for only notable deaths (namely, blue links), he was removed. If you wish to create a notable article for him, he can be re-added. Thanks. — Wylie pedia @ 00:26, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
If you're starting AFDs by hand, you may want to consider installing WP:twinkle instead; its' a Javascript tool that makes such things much easier. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 16:06, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, at Talk:Polk County Courthouse (Tennessee) and some other Talk pages, you've added a maprequest which I then removed. From there:
To answer map request that was here: replace "locmapin = " by "locmapin = Tennessee" to get a map. -- Doncram ( talk) 22:05, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I am sorry if I am mis-understanding something here. I wonder if there is some wp:POINTY attempt to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point about accuracy of coordinates? Relating to my pointing out that the coordinates you included in a different article were grossly wrong, and my suggesting that you change them. Or maybe I am completely wrong.
But you know how to put a map into the article. Just do it. Or don't you, seriously? It seems disruptive to call for others to come and add the word "Tennessee" to the infobox, and then to have to change the Talk page, too. So that they would be responsible if the coordinates are wrong, and that is then evident in the map? Seriously now, stop pretending if that is what you are doing. -- Doncram ( talk) 22:56, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.
Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)By Lionelt
Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

Hi, Zig - Belle Meade needs the demographic section updated. I used the following site for data which is current to 2016. Atsme 📞 📧 23:00, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
Have you abandoned the Ida New and William Madison Turner Farm article? Or, do you intend to flesh it out? Since it had been 22 days since your last edit there, I removed the {{ in use}} template as that is really only appropriate for a short time (hours). -- Bejnar ( talk) 16:22, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
If you don't want to clip articles from Newspapers.com and list them as open access, you can do what this editor did and type in the relevant passage from the article so reviewers can see it. Yoninah ( talk) 20:33, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Telfair Hodgson at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{ db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot ( talk) 08:55, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
Zigzig20s, I'm sorry that you feel "victimized". But you are coming across as quite a whiner on the DYK talk page, and that's not going to win you any new friends. May I suggest that you take a short wikibreak from DYK? When things get too intense, a nice book and a glass of wine also does the trick. As Cwmhiraeth noted, there's nothing wrong with your articles. You just need to look for "hooky" facts and be a little more easygoing about people questioning your hooks. Relax. This is a website, not life. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 20:58, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
how does anybody decide that someone like Telfair Hodgson is not interesting to a broad audience but Innocenzo Leonelli is?We're talking about hooks being "hooky". Yoninah ( talk) 21:27, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Who were you looking for the birth of? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 03:23, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
That link at Geni had some good info on him from a WNYC radio story on DeBlasio's father. You can always quote the census for information on his family. Primary documents are to be used with care, they are not banned. This is obviously him, since we know he is a Jr. Go ahead and start the article. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 04:17, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
