Defamation concerns

If I understand correctly, you're saying here that while discussing improvements to the 'pedia, I cannot continue to indicate that I believe that when wikipedia falsely claims, "debunked[:] the idea that SARS-CoV-2 leaked from the institute" wikipedia defames everyone who has argued that it may well have leaked from a Wuhan lab, especially when it directs readers to those arguments, especially when they are identified by name; they don't need to be quoted directly in the article. Is that the case? I have to accept it and can't argue about it? If so, I'm disgusted, and worried about the implications, but you're in charge, so I'll comply. Please provide a clear as possible a reply (Say yes or no if possible.). It seems like you didn't read that or missed it entirely, or perhaps you are under the impression that only people can be defamed, not organizations, but maybe not. Are you actually saying that my claim that not only individuals can be defamed is nonsense? I'm baffled. --50.201.195.170 (talk) 13:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

No, you cannot claim that we are defaming a class of people simply because they have a a difference of opinion. You fundamentally misunderstand what defamation is. Defamation is when we knowingly and willingly publish something that is false and harmful, monetarily, towards individuals or an organization. You are claiming that there is some nebulous class of people who believe that COVID leaked from a lab, and that we are somehow causing them harm by saying otherwise. That is preposterous. Do we defame flat earthers when we say they are wrong? No. A proper example of defamation is like if we claimed celebrity X is a murderer, when we know they aren't.

Conflict of interest

You and Valereee seem to be friends, so you being an arbitrator in the Syrian Kurdistan case would be a conflict of interest. You should resign from the case and give that role to someone else. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 00:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

CaptainEek is friends with everyone. —valereee (talk) 00:35, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Supreme Deliciousness, I understand your concerns here. Now, I can't give the role to someone else. I could recuse, which would then just mean one less arb to work the case, and that happens from time to time. However, I disagree with your characterization of the situation. I am friendly with everyone, that is my nature. I have had very few interactions with valereee at all. We have never worked on an article together, nor have we done any admin action together. Valereee did ask my help on the Syrian Kurdistan case, but I did not give it because I was unwilling to get involved. Also, Valereee isn't even a party to the case, so the point seems moot.

Sorry for being a pedant, but...

...in this edit, "hums" is a rather weird way of referring to the editor; their name is a pun on the Urdu word "humsafar", meaning "companion" (with a "4" substituted for the last syllable; hum-sa-four, see?), so it would have made quite a bit more sense (to my South Asian eyes, at least!) to just use the full name.

Again, apologies for the excessive pedantry, but I can never resist the urge to educate others on Desi culture whenever I see a teachable moment. Best, M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 03:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Looks good. No, I can't find fault with anything. But I'll tell you why I left my note here: you didn't say in any of the block notices or in the CU log who you thought might be a master. Often when CUs don't give those specifics, it's for DENY reasons, and I didn't know if you were definitively on the trail of a longterm socker or something like that. Anyway, glad you're on board, and thanks for taking care of this one. Drmies (talk) 14:38, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Tiffany S. Okirika

If this problematic draft isn't on your watchlist already, would you mind adding it? Just had to draftify it, and I get the suspicion the page creator will probably add it back to mainspace. It might get lost in the shuffle of my watchlist as I'm not super active right now. Sulfurboy (talk) 04:47, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

WP:EF/FP/R

Was that a misclick? That page needs to be unprotected, or there's no point in having it. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Suffusion of Yellow, The protection was intentional. Its being flooded with false positives from the latest TikTok nonsense that is telling people they can add themselves to the "notable people" sections of articles. I only gave it one day. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:24, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Except, 1112 (hist · log) is horribly over-broad. I hate having at disallow, but it's necessary. Can you answer my edit request at MediaWiki talk:Abusefilter-disallowed-1112? Perhaps the custom wording will be better. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Agree that while there’s a lot of crap on that page, it’s also the main venue of recourse to people flagged by many filters (not just this one). I’m not sure that it should be protected. At worst, and only if really necessary, 1112 should use a custom message that doesn’t link to the page. But generally it doesn’t take long to check the reports and just remove the unnecessary ones. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Except, well, it appears a filter has been made private (as usual). SoY, do you guys really think TikTok users are going to dig up the filter regex and reverse it to bypass?... ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
1112 is public. 1113 (log-only) is there to catch the few users who would try to work around it. MajavahBot is confused because everyone who trips 1112 also trips 1113. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:41, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
@ProcrastinatingReader: But then, 1113 is useless if nobody reviews the log. It looks like people are getting around 1112 by accident anyway. Marked public. Suffusion of Yellow (talk)
I tend to just use the IRC bot and subscribe to certain filters, but it’s much easier via the interface here. Thanks! ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 22:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
@ProcrastinatingReader:, FYI, User:Suffusion of Yellow/mark-reverted.js (commented out in your common.js) will highlight AbuseLog entries that have already been reverted. Makes reviewing the log faster. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 22:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Follow Up Question

Hi, a little while ago (1 Feb 2021) I posted a question on the Tea House titled "Help with images and copyright". You very kindly answered and offered to help. I have a follow up question.

  • My initial question was: I had some photographs that I put in WikiMedia of artwork I have the copyright to but the photographs were taken by others.
  • I wasn't sure if I should have posted their photographs so I put in a request in WikiMedia to delete them. They have been deleted.
  • Since then I got permission to use the photographs.
  • Should I contribute the photographs again or try to get them undeleted?

Thanks for your help ArtLover113 (talk) 20:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Felt I need to say this

CaptainEek, I saw your comment at the case and that you was considering to ban me from the english wikipedia. I just want you to get the full picture before you make your final decision.

Yes, I was involved in an arb case 12 years ago. But what is important to take into consideration here was that it was me vs one disruptive sockpuppeteer and his sockpuppet, it was proven after the case that the first one controlled the other, and they were both indeffed for abusing multiple accounts: [1][2], I explained this here:[3]

I realize this isn't a good accuse for my own behavior at that point of time, but what is also important here is that this was 12 years ago and I had just gotten a Wikipedia account. I did not know the rules here and did not know how things worked. I did not know what "edit warring" was or how you was supposed to behave when contributing.

I went more then 9 years without a single block until Valereee recently blocked me 2 times in 1 month over Syrian Kurdistan. One of them was for discussing a source at a talkpage and the other one for saying that a user was cherry picking sources.

I hope that to you take this into consideration before your final decision. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 23:45, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Question

Is repeatedly and deliberately misgendering someone allowed on Wikipedia? I've been experiencing this for some time but can't find a policy about it. GPinkerton (talk) 21:33, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

GPinkerton, Folks shouldn't be misgendered here on-Wiki. We make no absolute policy against it, but generally its treated as a matter of civility and respect. But sometimes folks do need to be gently reminded. For better or worse, English is a gendered language, and assumes he/him as the default. On the internet, where there are almost no context clues, its even more likely for folks to assume he/him pronouns. You'll see my solution has been to put my pronouns on my userpage, but even then I am frequently misgendered and have had to remind folks about it. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 00:54, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Yes "he/him as the default" is fine for me; it's the long-term and unfounded choice to use "she/her" that has been slowly eating into my patience. GPinkerton (talk) 00:56, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter

Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • New York (state) Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Scotland ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
  • Rwanda Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
  • Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
  • Botswana The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
  • Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
  • Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
  • United States Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
  • England Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

UK Internal Market Act moderation

Greetings. In no way am I hurrying your completion of the moderation process for the article. All I ask, is if you'd consider correcting one crucially misleading use of language in the introduction; where the article states "and to restrict" as if to suggest there are additional restrictions beyond preventing internal trade barriers (by principles of non-discrimination and mutual recognition). The editor with by far the most reverts to this precise text finally conceded this fact on the talk page.

The article is overtly critical throughout but I, like others, have resigned myself to the fact no-one has the free time to have a never ending war of attrition of wikipedia policy bingo, fighting disingenuous arguments in an attempt to balance an article detailing legislation... but if we could just have the article not begin on a misleading premise, that's +1 for wikipedia being informative rather than a political tool. 146.198.108.170 (talk) 21:58, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

146.198.108.170, I've made various attempts to address your concerns and incorporate your additions in a way that complies with npov, including in the current version. Your only response has been to revert to the exact same version repeatedly. [4][5][6] I am happy to engage with you on the talk page, but you seem reluctant to explain your concerns beyond saying "it's inaccurate" and then making another reversion.

Cambial Yellowing has still to respond to my request for alternative text on the talk page following discussion where the problematic areas were explained several times here: [[7]] 146.198.108.170 (talk) 20:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Except for in the first sentence of my comment immediately following your posing the question, you mean? [8] Cambial foliage❧ 20:52, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
My most sincere apologies for adding more of this to your talk page but the reply above will hopefully be seen in context to be as disingenuous as it genuinely is. They don't want to spell out what the restrictions are because it sounds much more of an imposition if you can make it vague, this has been the problem throughout. The editor's history on this article is only to focus on anything which could make the act sound like the UK government treading on the devolved administrations, I'm no fan of the government but I have more than a passing interest in objectivity. If you do have time, please take a look at some of the shenanigans from today [[9]] 146.198.108.170 (talk) 21:13, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Conventions for discussion thread formatting

Regarding this edit: as unsolicited advice, please feel free to ignore the following, particularly if you're already aware of it. You responded to a comment that started with *: with a comment that started with :::. The first comment nested a second-level unbulleted list item within an existing first-level bulleted list item. Changing the first character to : changed the first-level list to an unbulleted one, and nested two more unbulleted list items below it. This causes screen readers to announce the closing of two list levels and the opening of three new list levels.

To avoid this additional overhead for those using screen readers, and to prevent (under some circustances, depending on the surrounding wikitext) a more verbose output for those using the visual diff option, you can follow the conventions described at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility § Lists. RexxS has a essay, Wikipedia:Colons and asterisks, and I have my own, User:Isaacl/On wikitext list markup, that also cover this. In a nutshell: use the same prefix as the comment to which you're replying, and then add the character of your choice to it. In this case, that would mean using *::, which would have resulted in screen readers just announcing the start of one new list. isaacl (talk) 04:38, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Not sure what the rules are on this one. Are the requests to proxy edit Nightingale College on the talk page of Infinitepeace (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) allowed? WP:PROXYING says that "Wikipedians are not permitted to post or edit material at the direction of a banned or blocked editor" but I couldn't find a policy that says that a banned or blocked editor cannot ask others to edit material at their direction. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:00, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Guy Macon, My reading of it is that, since editors cannot post on the behalf of a blocked user, we should thus not tolerate blocked users asking us to proxy either. It can just be ignored, or if persistent/problematic, removed. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 01:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

removed Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Question

Would you unblock one of my IPs that was blocked for an unproven reason? I didn't even know it was blocked until the admin who did it said something, nor was the refresh intentional, I have limited ability over what my router does. When I asked them to give evidence, I was reverted given no explanation, then they closed a discussion I opened doubling down on their false accusations. I was never blocked before that action and they proved my point. Not sure why I have to tolerate this abuse. 2603:301D:22B2:4000:6077:DC40:801A:D27D (talk) 12:44, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Strong ornithological feelings

I have to ask: can you please share with me an example of one of your strong feelings about birds? I'm curious what a strong feeling about birds looks like; I can't imagine it. What are the controversies of the day in bird articles? Levivich harass/hound 04:42, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Were you here for the debates on the capitalization of bird species names? As I recall, a number of editors said their future participation would depend on the outcome. isaacl (talk) 04:46, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Ha! No, I wasn't, and thank you, that's exactly the kind of example I was looking for. But how can that be a controversy? I thought that was well-settled in taxonomy: genus is capitalized, species is not, so it's "Homo sapiens" and not "homo sapiens"? Levivich harass/hound 04:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Levivich, I think the ordering of sections in bird articles needs firm standardization. An excellent example exists at WP:BIRD and can be seen in my FA's (at least, in my opinion). The same for plant articles too. I think by allowing non-standard headers we create a poor quality encyclopedia, and make it harder for readers to find info. If I had it my way, I think I would change every bird article to follow a standard section layout as close as possible. Though thankfully, bird articles tend to be not controversial, they are a relaxing place to work. I've never had a disagreement with another bird editor. Much less stressful than politics or anything in the culture wars...I highly recommend all editors have a "calm area" to work in. A sort of encyclopedic paradise, so to speak. I also find ship articles are usually not controversial. So: Try CaptainEek's "calm area" editing technique today! Call now and receive one "get out of ANI free" card! CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 04:50, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh I'm so with you on calm areas. In fact, recently, after a healthy dose of drama, I retreated all the way to my sandbox (where no one can revert me!) and started working on little side projects. One of which, incidentally, is User:Levivich/Stubber, which could use the addition of a standard template for bird stubs. Levivich harass/hound 04:57, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
As per the Manual of Style for the capitalization of names of living things: Lower-case initial letters are used for each part of the English (common, vernacular) names of species, genera, families and all other taxonomic levels (bacteria, zebra, bottlenose dolphin, mountain maple, bald eagle), except where they contain a proper name (Przewalski's horse, Amur tiger, Roosevelt elk), or when such a name starts a sentence (Black bears eat white suckers and blueberries). Many editors of bird articles wanted to use the convention typically seen in bird reference books, thus Bald eagle. isaacl (talk) 04:58, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
If I recall correctly, the debate had already taken place for animals in general. The follow-on discussions occurred as the editors of bird articles didn't follow suit. isaacl (talk) 05:09, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Birds are the only organisms that have official names. For several years there was a standoff between ornithological editors and MOS people and others. Eventually things came to a head in 2014. See Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(fauna)#Bird_article_name_(capitalisation) leading to Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Archive_156#Bird_common_name_decapitalisation, after which several birdwatching editors reduced their wikiactivity for a period.

Functionaries meeting

Greetings,

Thanks for signing up to attend the UCoC functionaries meeting. This initial meeting is designed for sitting Arbitrators, Stewards, and Global Sysops to discuss holes that exist in global conduct and dispute discussion and enforcement. I hope and plan to hold more meetings like this in the future, expanding out the invitations to those like yourself who hold important roles across the wikis. For this particular meeting, however, I don't think you're going to find it very useful for what you do. I'm happy to make sure to personally notify you when I'm setting up a meeting that's more appropriate for the roles you're currently occupying, your input is valuable.

WikiCup 2021 May newsletter

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in Round 2 were:

  • Botswana The Rambling Man, with 2963 points from three featured articles, 20 featured article reviews, 37 good articles, 73 good article reviews, as well as 22 DYKs.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 1718 points from one featured article, 29 good articles, 16 DYKs and plenty of bonus points.
  • Republic of Venice Bloom6132, with 990 points from 13 DYKs and 64 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
  • Hog Farm, with 834 points from two featured articles, five good articles, 14 featured article reviews and 15 good article reviews.
  • England Gog the Mild, with 524 points from two featured articles and four featured article reviews.
  • England Lee Vilenski, with 501 points from one featured article, three good articles, six featured article reviews and 25 good article reviews.
  • Sammi Brie, with 485 points from four good articles, eight good article reviews and 27 DYKs, on US radio and television stations.
  • Ktin, with 436 points from four good articles, seven DYKs and 11 "In the news" items.

Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Harassment from returning banned user

Hi, in regard to this [10] discussion on 15 April I suspected the IP would be back. You said if he returned you would extend the block. You can see from his recent IP edit it the same person [11]

The IP traces to the same geographical area and is making the same personal attacks [12]. This user was indefinite blocked in the past [13] but now uses IPs every month. He stalks my account and if I use a talk-page to leave a comment he shows up. It's a bit sad really but not much can be done about it but I believe the block should be extended on that IP. Psychologist Guy (talk) 17:28, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

The IP is back again [14]. He is also now spreading misinformation about an experienced Wikipedia editor Alexbrn [15] Psychologist Guy (talk) 09:53, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Psychologist Guy, I went ahead and blocked the /17 of his range for the next month. Hopefully that will do a better job of catching him. Otherwise, report him when he shows up, and don't engage with him. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 19:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

The IP has admitted they have a blocked account, and so have admitted to block evasion, the IP should be banned (a range block).Slatersteven (talk) 11:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Slatersteven Psychologist Guy, Yamla has blocked the latest. However a rangeblock doesn't seem possible here, as the user is hopping across very different IP ranges. We'll just have to keep blocking IPs until some pattern can be found. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Also, I previously rangeblocked the 93.141./24, they then jumped to a 78.something. I do see they're back on the 93, but its a telecom with a /16 distribution, so he could get anything within that. That would be a rather wide range to block, I'm not comfortable doing something quite that big but I'll get a second opinion. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:30, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Giant pumpkin

On 30 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Giant pumpkin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while the current record-holding giant pumpkin weighed 2,624.6 lb (1,190.5 kg), an ideal pumpkin could grow up to 20,000 lb (9,100 kg)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Giant pumpkin. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Giant pumpkin), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Guideline and policy news

Technical news

  • Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Regarding Pahonia's case

Hello, thanks for your opinion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Pahonia. I provided arguments here: User talk:RandomCanadian#Regarding Pahonia's case why RfC would not solve this dispute because this article is mostly supported by users with nationalistic anti-Lithuanian POV. This report: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive332#Nationalistic vandalism, pushing of the Belarusian propaganda to the article of Pahonia proved that they will rather try to prove that black is white instead of simply admitting that white is white. Their only aim is to attempt to create misunderstanding in a simple problem. The case is simple: some nationalists attempts to prove that their language is superior, and this way violates WP:NPOV. This dispute should be solved by neutral arbiters with limiting of words in statements because otherwise neutral users will once again "drown" in the war of random arguments. I included these three clear quotes from Britannica for a reason. If a similar procedure is offered by Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, then maybe it should be moved there. Do I need to create new case there or the existing case will be moved? -- Pofka (talk) 11:14, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Pofka, Yeah it seems that WP:AE is probably the better venue here, as we already have special sanctions regarding Eastern Europe. You can simply ask that the case request be closed, and copy and paste the complaint into an AE request. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:19, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
@CaptainEek: Thanks, I created a case at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Pahonia because it is a content dispute, which also involves questionable editors actions as well. -- Pofka (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Scope of ARBPIA

Sorry for bothering you, I'm new to a lot of these policy issues and am a little confused by how to do things. We're having a dispute over the scope of WP:ARBPIA on Talk:Ilhan Omar and can't seem to come to consensus. How would we get clarification on that? Would we open a full Arbcom request for this relatively small question? Would we ask any uninvolved administrator (perhaps you) give an opinion? I'm just not sure what the proper route is. Benevolent human (talk) 13:57, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

It's not a full ARBCOM request, it's a request for clarification posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment. TFD (talk) 14:47, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Benevolent human, Agree that it should be asked at WP:ARCA. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 16:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Pizzagate

The editor who started that discussion you shut down is back at it, trying to litigate out the claims that the CS has been debunked. They've been circumspect about some of it, but over the course of the discussion, has come down to arguing directly in favor of the claims of the CS. They've gotten their BLP and American Politics DS alerts already. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could tamp down their enthusiasm for this. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 20:20, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

MPants at work, I have closed the second section and will give Jwilliams some advice, we'll see if that does the trick...failing that, not really any admin button actions I can take here given my long involvement on the talk page, starting with the GA review.

DYK for Lia radiological accident

On 19 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lia radiological accident, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an improperly dismantled orphan radiation source injured three lumberjacks and killed one of them in the Lia radiological accident? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lia radiological accident. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lia radiological accident), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

MJ article

Hi CaptainEek, thanks for the catch on Mick Jagger. Given that issues re-emerged immediately after the previous 1 year protection expired and its lengthy history of being a victim of vandalism, I think we should probably extend it for a longer timeframe. Thoughts? --TheSandDoctor Talk 05:26, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

TheSandDoctor, Honestly, I almost set it to indef, and have no objections if you would like to do so :) CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 05:29, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
Done. Accidentally made it full protection for a sec there, but fixed haha. Given the level of fame involved, I am sadly not surprised about the vandalism and trolls. Still saddens me that indef protection is ever needed though. --TheSandDoctor Talk 05:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Lime

Hi! I see from here that you were also involved with this band. Do you know if they ever disclosed the information that you requested? FYI, I blocked the band account LIME MANAGER and Mr. Cooper's current account for NLT. Do you think Robbcoop should also be banned since they're clearly the same account. Not particularly concerned about the socking element as they're not contradicting one another. I tried to source the mess of the article, but I'm not optimistic and the whole mess is confusing as hell. Thanks and feel free to comment at User_talk:Robb_Cooper, although I'll watch here too.

No worries, thought it worth checking just in case, and I most definitely wouldn't remember either. I only went that far back as the legal threat referenced copyright and wanted to be sure nothing needed rev del. Have a great day Star Mississippi 22:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Administrators' newsletter – July 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
  • An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news

  • IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

JustANameInUse back on IPs

Hi, per the discussion on your talk-page a while back [16] and the consensus at the admin board [17], [18] JustANameInUse a banned user who was using many IPs to harass editors as "vegan activists" was blocked. This users IP range was blocked for several months but his block has expired and he is now back on 93.141.108.249 [19] and probably others. Can you please keep a watch on this because this user will likely use the same IP range again to make to same disruptive edits. Psychologist Guy (talk) 19:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

You topic-blocked Richardcheese2?

I believe he's editing Richard Cheese again as an IP. I wouldn't have a problem with that except the IP is restoring unsourced additions by Richardcheese2 that I've just removed. Four questions: (1) Am I in WP:AGF trouble for even saying this? (2) If not, can IP=user be confirmed, and who can do that? (I believe not; regular IP edits of that article from Charter Communications IPv6 addresses that geolocate to Van Nuys/Encino, but usually only 1-2 edits per address.) (3) In 3 successive edits I reverted >3 successive reverts by the current IP. (Two of them reverted 2+ successive edits.) Did I violate WP:3RR, or no? (4) If not, and I revert one more edit, is that a violation? WP:3RR says "2+ successive edits=1 big edit", but is that still true after your revert is reverted? (Hypothetical, not my plan; I'll be adding a section to Talk and done.) Yappy2bhere (talk) 20:19, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Also, I placed a "paid editing" template on the latest IP's talk page; I reverted what I thought was promotional WP:CITESPAM [20]. If that's inappropriate I'll remove the template. Yappy2bhere (talk) 20:30, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Re: consensus on the lab leak

See: Template:Origins of COVID-19 (current consensus)

This template has gone on the top of multiple "COVID origins" talk pages to document the hard-won consensus achieved wherever possible. It has been created mostly by moderates on the issue, but editors from both sides have contributed. Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 02:19, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

@Shibbolethink: Ah, you're a godsend! What a fine template too, a fine price of Wikipediaing that folks have assembled. I knew there had to be something but I've kept my toes out of the matter...seemed not worth my hard won effort... CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 02:26, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
@CaptainEek:, happy to help! :) It is definitely a quicksand-filled pit, that much I can affirm from personal experience. Novem Linguae maintains a neutral and up-to-date list of all the affected articles, discussions, etc. over at his user essay. The essay is not, strictly speaking, wiki-voice neutral, but it is not intended to be. The resources attached, though, are useful!
Here are the most recently contentious articles (which are, coincidentally, also mostly where that template is transcluded):
I think the disruption has actually overall gone slightly down in the last week or so. We've seen a lot worse at Ivermectin and Bret Weinstein, because this is where the tabloid press/tv news pundits were most vocal! There were some disruptions at GoFR, but after ArbCom helpfully answered my clarification request, and ToBeFree semi-protected it, that's mostly been taken care of.
Even so, I do fear that this newest ArbE will result in a resurgence of disruption, which is what happened after the last ArbE where User:Normchou was TBAN'd [22]. We saw a huge increase in disruptive editing, and provoking/grandstanding on all sides. I proposed the Normchou ArbE, and I felt like I was walking on eggshells! Some users tried to ArbE me, unsuccessfully about a week later [23]. Anyway, suffice to say, it has gotten pretty heated :) More admin/Arbcom eyes are always appreciated. Thank you for any help you can provide. --Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 02:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

CaptainEek, please note that I didn’t participate in the WP:AE against Shibbolethink, because as I said here [24], I think he is a good editor. The only problem is that - as I will explain in my AE Statement - he tends to mix his own personal opinions with expert opinions quoted in reliable sources, and sometimes even counter them, without finding a source to back it up. This is our main disagreement, and apparently I’ve upset him for being a WP:RANDY, so I am trying to get him to provide the difs of the personal attacks I have been accused of, so that we can deal with that and any other conduct issues separately to the content dispute.
