Welcome to my talk page!

I like to keep things compact, and don't have any great ideas for my user page yet, so my signature directs here.

I was a long-time reader and lurker (since 2003). I appreciate the Five pillars and the idea of open knowledge, and want to give something back; this is why I began editing in 2021. I'd like to receive your feedback on anything I've done. Expect a reply! :)

By the way:

I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you start a new talk topic here, I will respond on this same page, as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there, using the ping template like this: {{ping|Alalch E.}}. If you want to initiate a conversation with me anywhere else, simply ping me there—no need to notify me here.
If a discussion here is about a specific article, I may move the discussion to that article's talk page. Were one to disagree I would tell them to treat it as my removing comments on my talk page and my quoting them on the target page. The Moved discussion to/from templates are useful here.

Maintaining Recent Article Improvements & Preventing Edit Wars

After following proper Wikipedia protocol to improve the Egregore article (announcing my intent, receiving no objections, completing substantial improvements), the recent reversion attempt is concerning. To prevent an edit war and document the necessity of these improvements: Procedural Steps Followed:

Discussion initiated regarding article issues by other contributors in (November 2020) and by me in (Sept 2024) No objections raised to proposed improvements Major rewrite completed addressing longstanding issues Attempted reversion (3 Nov 2024) without discussion This discussion opened to establish consensus

Core Improvements Made:

Policy	Previous Issue	Current Solution
WP:NPOV	Presented supernatural claims as fact	Frames content as cultural/sociological phenomena
WP:RS	Relied on self-published/esoteric sources	Uses academic journals and peer-reviewed research
WP:FRINGE	Gave undue weight to esoteric claims	Balances scientific framework with cultural context
WP:SCHOLARLY	Lacked academic context	Grounds concepts in established research

Key Transformations:

Redefined from "non-physical entity" to "sociological and psychological concept" Introduced Durkheim's collective effervescence framework Added peer-reviewed studies on group psychology Properly contextualized esoteric interpretations

The improved version maintains respect for the subject matter while meeting Wikipedia's core standards. Reverting without discussion undermines both WP:BRD and the collaborative improvement process. I request that we maintain the improved version and discuss any specific concerns through proper channels. --HyperSite (talk) 00:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your reaching out to me, and, yes, your desire to improve this article is valid. I can't imagine that any edit wars will be occurring. However, I share another editor's concern stated on the talk page that your rewrite has introduced original research. Do you mind if this discussion continues on the article's talk page to keep everything concentrated? —Alalch E. 12:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing sources

You have removed source references from the article Femke without good reason, which I consider to be vandalism. Please stop doing so and do not turn this into an edit war. – Editør (talk) 02:36, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have accused me of vandalism. Prior to your leaving this message on my talk page, we have already been discussing this at Talk:Femke#References for each person. It's an editorial judgement call. I oppose your edit. Please find support for your idea. You can not enforce this through edit warring. —Alalch E. 04:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe your edits are intentionally disruptive, please stop. – Editør (talk) 10:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your concern, but now that other editors have been invited to review the practice of not having citations in anthroponymy lists (which is the existing practice), I find that it would be best to let the discussion unfold. Useful conclusions of a broader scope can be gained. I respect that you stand behind your edit, but I also stand behind my edit, and have a vision of what is an improvement in this regard that is different than yours. You are trying to make your position seem absolutely justified because you are adding references. Merely adding references, and the question here is where and for what purpose, does not invalidate other editors' views and does not make your idea of a change immediately enforceable. Please refer again to the Wikipedia:Editing policy. —Alalch E. 11:03, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. – Editør (talk) 11:11, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AFC

Hi (again). How is Draft:Luigi Mangione duplicated by Killing of Brian Thompson? The draft is about the (supposed) killer himself, and last time I checked, a Luigi Mangione article doesn't exist and is just a section in an article, not meeting a fail for that reason. I'm even going to go ahead and say that you improperly used rollback as using it on an edit that wasn't vandalism/could be discussed, but oh well. E_F⁵ 13:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. The contents duplicate the statements in Killing of Brian Thompson and the draft is predominantly about the event, which is typical for WP:BLP1E biographies. Even though it is titled after the biographical subject it isn't really a biography and does not cover a distinct subject from an existing article.—Alalch E. 13:48, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Policy says otherwise. Sometimes new editors create a submission without checking to see if the subject already has a Wikipedia article. Do a quick search for the title of the suggested article, as well as any alternative names that come to mind. If you find an article on the same subject, decline the article. Consider making a redirect if the contributed name is useful. (excerpt from Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions). I see no guideline that says drafts can be declined because they duplicate an existing section. E_F⁵ 13:50, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I left an AFC comment on the draft to state the reason more precisely. I don't agree that a "policy" says otherwise and stand by my decline. —Alalch E. 14:00, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I don't agree with the decline reason. I wouldn't mind bringing up the "section" question on WT:AFC, just to see if drafts can be declined for duplicating an existing section. E_F⁵ 14:08, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to do that, and you are welcome to, but I don't think that it would be a good use of anyone's time. —Alalch E. 23:13, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Share a cup with me

I'm proud today looking at how you're helping at Draft:Luigi Mangione and associated discussions. Nice managing of the deep muck around this sort of subject. It gets worse. Your BOLD is our friend here. Ask for help if you need it. Friendly advice: don't let yourself become part of the story.
BusterD (talk) 15:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic to share a cup with you. It's coffee on my end though, as I did just finish making coffee. Thank you for the kind words and the advice. I'm always happy when we're active on the same pages. —Alalch E. 15:39, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Always preferred tea. I went through a coffee phase when I was in college. Coffee always smells better than it tastes... These days I prefer a Builder's brew, something with a strong mouth. BusterD (talk) 15:55, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still a coffee and beer guy over here (edit: and kombucha, however). Not much fun in the drinks department. Definitely need to branch out. —Alalch E. 16:02, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New version if Luigi Mangione article

I would like to work up a new draft that could pass muster. Dylan Roof's page was put up and accepted the day after the Charleston Church Shooting. I think Luigi Mangione should have a separate page. How can I pause the redirect so I can create a page? ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 07:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProfessorKaiFlai: You can create the new article directly in mainspace, over the redirect. Alternatively, you can edit the draft at Draft:Luigi Mangione until you're satisfied and submit it via AfC (currently, a version has been submitted, pending review). You can also create a wholly new draft in your userspace. You do not have to use AfC to move a draft to mainspace. You can not technically perform the move of the draft over the current redirect, but you can request an adminstrator or page mover to do it (which they might decline and point you toward AfC, but they might also accept, completely disregarding AfC, based on their independent editorial judgement); note that you can't request this at WP:RM/TR, as such requests are declined there. —Alalch E. 10:18, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About "pausing the redirect" in general: "To edit a page that is already a redirect (or to view its history, talk page, etc.), follow the redirect to the target page, then click on the link in the "(Redirected from ...)" notice at the top of the page. This takes you to the redirect page itself. (The URL for accessing a redirect page without following the redirect contains the query parameter redirect=no.)" (copied from Help:Redirect) —Alalch E. 12:11, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
