A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Streisand effect, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Wesha. My name is Mike Lyons and I am a doctoral student at Indiana University in the United States. I am conducting research on the writing and editing of high traffic current events articles on Wikipedia. I have noticed in the talk page archives at 2008 South Ossetia war that you have contributed to the editing or maintenance of the article. I was hoping you would agree to fill out a brief survey about your experience. This study aims to help expand our thinking about collaborative knowledge production. Believe me I share your likely disdain for surveys but your participation would be immensely helpful in making the study a success. A link to the survey is included below. An explanation of my project is included with the survey.

Hi, and thanks for your contributions. I noticed that you linked some dates recently. This practice is now deprecated. Please see WP:LINKING and WP:MOSNUM. Furthermore, there is an Arbcom restriction on mass linking/delinking of chronological elements, although this is no suggestion from me that you are in breach whatsoever. I'm happy to respond to any inquiries you may have about the matter. Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for uploading File:Rs82lagg3.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Huffington Post, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tabloid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Streisand effect 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/Streisand effect (4th nomination) 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. — ṞṈ 02:03, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-04-01T02:03:00.000Z","author":"Razr Nation","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Razr_Nation-2013-04-01T02:03:00.000Z-Nomination_of_Streisand_effect_for_deletion","replies":[],"displayName":"\u1e5e"}}-->

Hi. You recently made an edit to the Able Archer 83 Article saying it was a 10-day exercise starting on 2 November 83 rather than a 5-day exercise starting on 7 November.

I think you may be confusing the scenario with the exercise itself. Exercises have a scenario as a context, explaining what has (for purposes of the exercise) been assumed to have been happening. It sets the stage for the exercise itself. In this case, the scenario began with (fictional) events on 2 November through 6 November which led up to the exercise itself that began on 7 November and continued through 11 November.

I refer you to the quotation from the SHAPE historian, Dr. Gregory Pedlow, at the bottom of the section on "Exercise Able Archer 83" in the Article, that explains the war game:

"The exercise scenario began with Orange (the hypothetical opponent) opening hostilities in all regions of ACE on 4 November (three days before the start of the exercise) and Blue (NATO) declaring a general alert. Orange initiated the use of chemical weapons on 6 November and by the end of that day had used such weapons throughout ACE. All of these events had taken place prior to the start of the exercise and were simply part of the written scenario. There had thus been three days of fighting and a deteriorating situation prior to the start of the exercise. This was desired because — as previously stated — the purpose of the exercise was to test procedures for transitioning from conventional to nuclear operations. As a result of Orange advance, its persistent use of chemical weapons, and its clear intentions to rapidly commit second echelon forces, SACEUR requested political guidance on the use of nuclear weapons early on Day 1 of the exercise (7 November 1983)..."

Note that he explicitly says that the events before 7 November "had taken place prior to the start of the exercise and were simply part of the written scenario." He also explicitly notes that Day 1 of the exercise was 7 November 1983.

I am aware that some second-and third-hand sources make the same error of confusing the scenario with the exercise, but according to SHAPE it was a 5-day exercise starting on 7 November.

May I recommend that you correct your edit yourself? Or, if you have good authority showing that the SHAPE historian was in error, perhaps you could provide it.

Thanks.

For all I know, the source (http://books.google.com/books?id=Q2IECQ3WF1oC&pg=PA92) clearly says, verbatim, "the exercise took place from November 2 through 11". Wikipedia is all about quoting sources — so if you have a more reputable source, be my guest and make the change with respective citation (and preferably the verbatim quote). -- Wesha (talk) 23:05, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2014-08-19T23:05:00.000Z","author":"Wesha","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Wesha-2014-08-19T23:05:00.000Z-D.A.Timm-2014-08-09T09:28:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Paracetamol. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Hi Wesha, Have you considered copying over the discussions about Self-propelled barge T-36 to it's talk page?

@Broichmore: It is a possibility! Do you think I should do that just straight-up. or is there a special procedure? -- Wesha (talk) 19:33, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-11-17T19:33:00.000Z","author":"Wesha","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Wesha-2020-11-17T19:33:00.000Z-Broichmore-2020-11-16T15:14:00.000Z","replies":["c-Broichmore-2020-11-27T20:09:00.000Z-Wesha-2020-11-17T19:33:00.000Z"]}}-->

I did it for you, but I think there are other sets of notes from the past that could precede it... Trick is to make sure pings and mentions are deactivated when you do it... --Broichmore (talk) 20:09, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-11-27T20:09:00.000Z","author":"Broichmore","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Broichmore-2020-11-27T20:09:00.000Z-Wesha-2020-11-17T19:33:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, the image that you added to the Dunning–Kruger article, or a similar image, was part of the article for a long time. After a talk page discussion, now archived, it was agreed that the image had no authentic link back to Dunning & Kruger or any respected academic publication in the relevant field. and was remove by consensus. Although the image is widely circulated on the internet, the source appears to be from someone's blog and may have been intended for humor. I have no opinion. My interest is in the stability of the article. If you have reliable sources showing the use of the curve by actual practitioners in the field of cognitive bias, you might consider opening a new talk page discussion about reinserting the image.

Hello! This is User:Luiysia (IRL name is Kelly). My main interests are fashion, music, literature, and history. I am fairly new to Wikipedia editing and I found that there has been very little activity from the Chicago Wikipedia user group since 2020.

I'd like to host a casual meetup in Chicago to celebrate Wikidata Day on Saturday, October 26.

Proposed location is Engine Coffee in the Wicker Park/West Town area, at 11AM.

Here is the official meetup page, where you can add yourself as an attendee.

(If you would prefer not to see messages like this, go ahead and take yourself off this list.)

Hope to see you all there!
