Following an RfC, consensus has been found that, in the context of politics and science, the reliability of FoxNews.com is unclear and that additional considerations apply to its use.

Hello DatGuy, you recently protected this article, but since the protection expired the same edits have continued to be made by almost certainly the same person who keeps adding grammatically incorrect text (seemingly an LTA that is also active on other articles, particularly Nordic related religion). Would it be possible for you to protect the article for a longer period? The constantly differing IP's and persistence unfortunately makes this an issue that is difficult to deal with through blocks of the IP's.

@PravinGanechari: this is why you were barred from filing SPI cases. You ignored my recommendation to stay away from sockpuppetry while still not being familiar enough with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. Having multiple accounts by itself isn't socking. Misusing them is. I'm now telling you to henceforth avoid all sockpuppetry related matters on Wikipedia until you successfully appeal at WT:SPI/C.

Were you responding to the right report when you declined this one? When I looked at it, all the edits had been reverted and the editor had been warned three times for removing sourced content. After reviewing the filter log, I saw further attempts to do this and two warnings, so I have blocked them for 24 hours even though they didn't edit again after this morning North American EST.

@Daniel Case: I saw that some of the edits removed unsourced content and that the filter hits were before the {{Uw-blanking3}}. I contemplated blocking them, but considering all their edits were in a span of ten minutes and they didn't edit for 1h30m, I added the two pages to my watchlist in case they returned but let them off without a block.

Hi. I saw your block here. First and foremost, thanks for getting involved as an SPI patrolling admin. We need all the help we can get (and congrats on your new mop). If you don't already have it, you should install User:GeneralNotability/spihelper.js, which makes everything to do with SPI a lot easier. Once you handle an admin request, if there's nothing else left to do in the case, you should change the state to "closed". The spihelper script makes it easy to do that. And thanks again for diving into SPI. -- RoySmith(talk)13:57, 28 September 2022 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220928135700","author":"RoySmith","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-RoySmith-20220928135700-SPI_patrolling","replies":["c-Mz7-20221013012800-RoySmith-20220928135700"]}}-->

On October 9th, I requested page protection on Vietnam War casualties due to disruptive editing by a user from multiple IP ranges. You ultimately banned one of the ranges 2001:EE0:4A60:0:0:0:0:0/46 (talk·contribs) for two months. However, this user has returned to make the same disruptive edits in recent days from different IP ranges they have previously edited from. The pages affected are Easter Offensive and Battle of Khe Sanh. Maybe increasing page protection on these pages, Vietnam War casualties, and other affected pages could also mitigate this disruptive editing if they choose to edit from a new range.

If I am having a consensus dispute in a talk page that can’t reach consensus based on wp:FRINGE, where can I go to appeal it?

@Bobisland:WP:FTN is indeed the perfect place for this. Wikipedia administrators aren't the only ones who can conclude a discussion. If consensus is reached but other people continuously violate that consensus, then an administrator can use their tools to help enforce it.

Do users in the fringe noticeboard have administrative powers to conclude consensus based on rules regardless if users disagree? If not is there no place to dispute balance/neutrality of an article to administrators due to controversial pages being marginalized by bias users in talk pages leading to a lack of consensus about its balance/neutrality?

Ok so to force consensus based on rules there is no noticeboard and users individually ask administrators? Or is it only special users in the noticeboards that can ask administrators?

I posted a dispute on the fringe theory noticeboard and would like the input of an administrator as the talk page isn’t reaching consensus on what’s fringe, the link is here the link, I think administrator input is necessary as the Wikipedia page is controversial Bobisland (talk) 13:36, 29 October 2022 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221029133600","author":"Bobisland","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bobisland-20221029133600-Can_you_help_reach_consensus_on_a_fringe_noticeboard?","replies":[]}}-->

@Another Believer the issue is generally that the image's metadata says its width/height is a certain value while in reality the values are flipped/the image is rotated. This is why it happens to many images by a single uploader.

@DatGuy Thanks for helping me understand. I think I will continue to upload images as I know how and just hope these get corrected over time. I'll stop logging them here since it sounds like an issue has been identified. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. ---Another Believer(Talk)19:11, 20 September 2022 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220920191100","author":"Another Believer","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Another_Believer-20220920191100-DatGuy-20220920190400","replies":["c-JJMC89-20220922025500-Another_Believer-20220920191100"]}}-->
@Another Believer: I've fixed all of the listed files. @DatGuy: There should be an indication in the metadata that the image is rotated - this is automatically detected when I open them in GIMP. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:55, 22 September 2022 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220922025500","author":"JJMC89","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-JJMC89-20220922025500-Another_Believer-20220920191100","replies":["c-Another_Believer-20220922031100-JJMC89-20220922025500"]}}-->

@Another Believer: It looks OK to me. That can happen when new versions of images are uploaded due to caching though.
