I saw your edit on the article for Mohammad Shahabuddin; and have since then tried to update it (only the lead till now) with reference to reliable sources. I am fairly new editor here so I just have one query since there is WP:BLP involved here. Wouldn't it be appropiate to state that he is a "convicted gangster" since multiple independent reliable source seem to describe him as such? I've for now only left it as him being "described as a convicted gangster".

Ghoraghatalpha, Amazon should never be used as a source for anything. Thanks for linking those three sources, but I'm afraid that two of the three are not usable. The first is just establishing that she writes for the Gaurdian. Contributors are not inherently notable, we need articles about those contributors. The second is written by her, which is not independent. The third isn't about her, its a review of her book. If anything, that establishes that her book, not her, should have an article. So you'll need to find some better sources than that, which talk about her and not just her work.

T3g5JZ50GLq, But that is what the last discussion was about. The article was List of people with coronavirus disease 2019, and it was a list of notable people (i.e. had Wikipedia pages) and Coronavirus, and consensus was that it shouldn't exist. Whats the difference between that and the one you wrote?

the page I read said Keep, that is why I added it, because the person who decided the consensus, when asked, was non-committal about the article I made.

@T3g5JZ50GLq: Having seen the version before it's deletion (note also that administrators can see deleted content), the difference is not great. Both are lists of notable people who have coronavirus. Could you perhaps link to the discussion with a keep outcome, that would probably help clarify things.

Hi CaptainEek,
I am Thewiselexicon. There was a dispute between another user and I over the Cardinal Mooney page. I am a student there currently who has been tasked with ensuring that it has been properly maintained. I’m a bit new to mediation here but is there any avenue where I can request a review of the information that the other used removed on march 6 2020.

Thewiselexicon, If you are the user that made the request at the third opinion board, then I didn't realize it because if so you were logged out at the time. Always make sure you are logged in to edit, as being logged out to edit reveals your IP address and also can be seen as an attempt to game the system. I think you refer to this edit. The main issue here is that the information was not cited with a reliable source. I support the removal, and think that most folks would. You are welcome to re-add the material if you find a reliable source that supports it. Even though you might know the information to be true, we need a source that says it regardless, otherwise we'd have no way to verify anything on Wikipedia. In this case, I imagine that the sources will be news articles, and maybe the USNews report on the high school. Refrain from using the high school's own website and material where possible, as such sources are not independent. Also, because you are a student of the school and have been asked to make the edits, you have a conflict of interest. You need to declare that by following the steps at WP:DCOI.
I know that's all a lot, but we are glad you are editing Wikipedia. Sorry that your intro to Wikipedia is a trial by fire, but hope you enjoy the place. If you have any questions or need any help, please leave a note here and I'll do my best.

Thewiselexicon You should also put a template/notice on your userpage. Also, a few procedural notes: sign your posts with four tildes, not 3 or 5, as that makes wierd signatures.

Thylacine24, No need to post on my page, you can use one of the Template:ping ping templates to get folk's attention. And glad to be of assistance. As a note: no need to edit a comment several times unless there is a really glaring error. Folks don't notice or care about small errors.

CaptainEek: Thanks for replying, and telling me about the Template:Ping. I know about the "[[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]" replying feature, though, if that's what you were talking about, and sorry for the condescending nature of this sentence. Also, sorry about all this in general; I have OCD, so I feel inordinately guilty and pedantic over my own and others' errors a lot, and a Type A personality, so I often forget to fully proofread (if at all).

CaptainEek: Sorry to be rude, but I wasn't talking about editing on your talk page, I was asking if you saw my responses to you on the help desk. Or are you trying to tell me that you want me to communicate there instead of here? Also, I screwed up for the third time today in being signed in when posting, and had to cut my reply, reload after logging in elsewhere on Wikipedia, and then paste my reply, so it took longer to reply to you that time than earlier, as well as now, for me having to tell you that; sorry yet again.

Okay, full story: when I got around to telling you how I'd forgotten to log in for the third time, I remembered about the cutting, reloading, and pasting, then did it anyway, because I felt bitter and frustrated and wanted to be mean to somebody, and there's a part of me that wants to say that it was my OCD partly motivating me, but that's just my subconscious, and I'm only writing this now out of OCD and to alleviate my guilt by making you think that I was acting on a compulsion when I was really just trolling.

I’ve been on Wikipedia since 2017 as an IP editor but to tell you the truth, I haven’t learnt much. I’ve never written an article before and have mostly made minor contributions. Initially, I was planning on adopting a user whom I frequently helped but he turned out to be a paid editor and was blocked. I tried coding a bot, it didn’t go as planned either. Everything has been going downhill since then, the number of my contributions have dwindled and.. Well, here I am. Could you adopt me and teach me everything from scratch?

I mostly revert vandalism but I’d love to contribute to articles related to history.
Back in 2017, I realised that there were a few typos in the article which I was reading. I corrected them and began contributing to other articles as an IP. It’s a great feeling to actually be useful.
I’d like to learn how to fight vandalism and how to write/improve articles.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

@CaptainEek: Pardon me, but how did I get a B-Class rating on my most recent draft that got accepted. Is it because it covers a wide amount of topics?
@LucasA04: I may have over-rated it to be honest, it might only be C class, but it seemed reasonably complete compared to the likely length of the subject. If you feel that the article should be much longer, or is missing components, I can drop the rating. I cannot however raise the rating, as to get a higher rating you need to go through a formal review process.

I have a problem with how heavy the article leans in favor of discussing the prosecution theory, but is completely resistant to include anything that court records show about the defense’s position. How convenient that information about the prosecution’s arguments are pulled from court documents, but edits adding the defense position is edited out. It’s clear that this article is meant to paint the individual in a harsh light and is not at all written from a neutral standpoint. I expect more from Wikipedia.

Candi Jones, Well the article is certainly quite in need of a POV cleanup. To be honest, all of the court records and the info they support should be removed. For such a controversial topic, only reliable secondary sources should be used. Court records are primary sources and can be easily manipulated or misunderstood. If you can find media coverage that discusses the defense's story, then you can use it. In general the article needs to state less things in Wikipedia's voice. The article should say things like "The prosecution contended" "The defense said" instead of just stating it as the gospel truth.

Candi Jones, It needs a definite cleanup. A lot of sources are bad or need to go, or be replaced by better ones.

Gingerbreadhouse97 completely reversed everything I did to clean up the article and is insistent on using the court documents to support the edits despite them being unacceptable as you told me.

Well there's the issue. Paul Slovic's article is pretty bad, and not the typical style of our articles. Baruch Fischhoff's article is pretty bare bones. I tried to find a good article on a scientist of similar standing, but couldn't in a quick search. But I can suggest taking a look at the Noam Chomsky article, which shows a good way to cover a modern, living, professor. Now of course Chomsky is a bit more famous than your guy. But the point is that the structure of discussing their life, career, accomplishments in separate sections is solid.

Hi CaptainEek,
I hope you'll forgive me if this sounds a little strange, but for the past couple weeks I've been absorbing a lot of information and trying to piece together what, exactly, is going on in world. I've looked through a plethora of sources; everything from ancient esoteric philosophy, to political articles, to mathematical analysis, to programming languages. I believe I am onto something, but I haven't managed to take the final step, that is, I don't know how to decide.
I assure you, I'm not going insane. At least, I don't think I'm going insane. However, I believe strongly that the world as we see it is not the way it truly is. I do not wish to lose my autonomy, and yet I do not wish to be enslaved. To whom, then, should I pledge allegiance? I have loved this world, but truly, I love being alive. If there is some way that I can continue living, and still maintain the fundamental autonomy of "I" - to avoid being enslaved by either the left or the right - then please, help me.
Forgive me if this doesn't make sense, however, I hope it does, and that you can offer me anything that might help me make this ultimate choice.
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to your prompt response.

What would you hope to get out of adoption?
What topics are you interested in? What areas would you like to edit?
Why did you join Wikipedia?

If, as I suspect, we are approaching what one might commonly refer to as "the end of the world", then I admit to having more than a passing interest in self-preservation. It seems to me that this would need to be accomplished via some means of consciousness uploading, storage, etc., or, perhaps, by using some unknown method of moving both my mind and my physical body off of the Earth. However, I am wary of the first, since I fear the loss of autonomy - am I playing into the trap of some malevolent entity, literally "selling my soul" because I am arrogant enough to believe that I have that kind of control? Am I being deceived, and would I be better off accepting the Bible as written, and accepting Jesus as my personal savior? I wasn't raised in the church, but this idea haunts me nonetheless. It's illogical, but what else is "faith" if not the rejection of logic? Regardless, if the world is about to be destroyed, then Wikipedia seems to be our Ark. Whatever happens to me, I think it's worthwhile to help preserve a bit of what this world is, and I think I should help.
I'm becoming increasingly interested in the metanarrative that seems to hold across time periods and disciplines. For example, I think there is an argument to be made that AI research, the Kybalion, coding languages, and the movie Beetlejuice (and possibly everything ever created by mankind) can all be interpreted in such a way as to reach the same conclusions. The fact that we don't see things as such a way is simply because we do not have a proper understanding of the information. I know wikipedia is not the place to cite opinions, post my own research, etc., but I think as I explore more and come across interesting connections, it'd be nice to add relevant citations to further strengthen this informational web I believe I'm uncovering. I know wikipedia has been a great source for me as I've been searching for answers, but I've found several conceptual topics that aren't covered yet.
I suppose I covered that already in my first 2 responses. It was mostly by chance, but now that I'm here, I feel that I ought to participate.

The world is definitely not ending. Yeah, things aren't going so well, but I can guarantee you that the world has had it way worse and made it through just fine. We've made it through countless pandemics and wars and genocides and the world has kept on chugging.
Dunno what you're waffling on about, but this is Wikipedia. It is an encyclopedia. Our goal is to present the sum total of human knowledge in the best way possible. We are not a way to upload your consciousness or preserve your memory etc etc. See a list of other things we are not.
Wikipedia is interconnected yes with links to other things, but its not a big web or some meta-narrative. If thats why you want to edit Wikipedia, maybe you shouldn't. If you see a big conspiracy in Wikipedia, that is also not a good reason to edit.
If you're going to contribute, you should do it because you are interested in the topics and want to help build an encyclopedia. Ulterior motives are not a good reason to edit Wikipedia.
I hope you can take a look at what you've written and understand that from the perspective of others it comes across as vague ramblings. That sort of content is not generally appreciated on Wikipedia.
I know its a very stressful time for everyone. If you're stressed out or psyched out, it may not be good a time to start editing. Make sure to stay connected with the people around you in these tough times, and please take care of yourself :) The world isn't ending, and we're gonna make it through this, and be stronger for it.
Bottom line: if you'd like to actually contribute to Wikipedia for honest reasons and are in a good place personally, I can try to help you or point you to someone who can. Otherwise, editing Wikipedia might not be the best move for you at the moment.

Thank you! Maybe that's what I needed to hear. I still think Wikipedia still seems like something worth contributing to; like I said, there were several concepts that I've been looking into lately that don't have their own pages. Is adoption always reccommended, or can I learn on my own?
I can understand why you'd be concerned, but I proomise I'm not going insane.
Just curious, though. Do you happen to know why wikipedia uses the specific imagery of the Blue Star Kachina? As you progress through the modules, there's all sorts of phrasing that seems clearly designed to evoke the ideas of something coming from space to the earth (I understand that it explicitly means going "to the article", but the imagery is not subtle). Your rewards that you get after each test progress from blue to red, further referncing the Hopi story of the end of the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdjustingFramework (talk • contribs) 04:03, 28 April 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-04-28T04:03:00.000Z","author":"AdjustingFramework","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-AdjustingFramework-2020-04-28T04:03:00.000Z-Seeking_Adoption._Many_Questions.","replies":["c-CaptainEek-2020-04-28T04:13:00.000Z-AdjustingFramework-2020-04-28T04:03:00.000Z"]}}-->
AdjustingFramework, Adoption is not mandatory, though it can be helpful. I wasn't adopted and learned on my own, though I did take a significant amount of time to read our policies and guidelines.
I don't think that we do use the imagery of the blue star kachina. The Wikipedia adventure has had those colors for years, because some volunteer thought that blue and red was a nice color scheme. Blue and orange are contrasting colors, and red is close to orange. Trying to find that kind of meaning in places where it is not can lead to improper conclusions. Wikipedia has no prophets on it or doomsayers, just people who want to build a tool of information.

But may I know why has you redirected the article "Heena Shahab (Siwan)" to his

Sturdyankit, The article was a mess, and it didn't establish the subject's notability. Notability is not inherited, if your wife or brother or kid is notable, that does not make you notable. Furthermore, the article was extremely poorly written, perhaps the result of using auto-translation. It also had WP:BLP issues.

Sm8900, You probably shouldn't use images in your signature, its bad for page load time, and I think its against policy anyway. You can use emojis however! You are using the earth emoji already I see. I used an anchor emoji. As long as Wikipedia will render it, you have a pretty wide choice. I used an emoji finder website to copy what I wanted.

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 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:
Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also 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. 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. Good luck!

Azurerae, Well I think I might be able to be of assistance then! I'll be honest, I have no familiarity with WikiTree, and very little with WikiData so I can't really help you there.

A few answers,
I'd love to get help with learning the ways of Wikipedia sea, with learning more closely the policy, further support with making encyclopedic quality articles, and when to use specific templates!
I prefer to edit about plants, weather, current events, and chem!
I joined Wikipedia in 2018 to not have to use my IP in edits, and in recent months, started making more and more edits.

MRC2RULES, I can help ya out, by either adopting you, or finding someone who can. But before I would adopt you, I would want you to take the Wikipedia Adventure, which it looks like you tried to start a few times. Also, as a side note, you probably shouldn't have as much identifying info as you do on your userpage, especially cus you're a kid. And I would also suggest against using your name as your signature, or using a nickname instead of your full name.

Kind of a rough ride, reminds me of my first RFA, wherein a respected member of the community got in the first oppose with a recent, fairly serious error in judgement. It sank me, but I ran again and got in and here I am ten years later still at it. I actually agree with Tony about "that other captain" but I don't see it as an issue so serious that you can't be trusted to be an admin. In any case you seem to be handling it well, if you ask me RFA itself is a decent test of how a user would handle adminship, since you ge criticized a lot when doing admin work. To use a nautical metaphor, weather the storm, stay on course, and I think you'll get that admin ship.

Hi CaptainEek. top of the mornin' to ya!! thanks for all your input at the recent talk page colloquy with Nick Moyes. I just wanted to let you know, in the interest of getting a fresh viewpoint, and as much feedback, ideas, comments and input as possible, I have contacted another adopter, User: Iazyges, to ask them if they could please provide me with feedback and input, and to treat me as an adoptee. please note, I still welcome any input, ideas, feedback or comments that you may have, any time you may wish. I have enjoyed being your adoptee, and I am glad that I had a chance to be in touch and to get to know you.

I can try to help you understand how to fix it, but if you want someone else to do the work for you, you'll need to ask elsewhere.

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Vermilion flycatcher has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
There are a couple of things I'll mention. In the Taxonomy section a 2016 study is mentioned. I have added a "by whom" tag for clarification. In the Vocalization section I moved the Cornell Lab citation (#4) to the end of the sentence where the Lab is mentioned. I'm not sure if it is still required at the end of that paragraph, (tq|As a lead-up to copulation, the female may give a tjee-tjee-tjee call.[4][16]}}, so I left it there. In the Distribution section this sentence appears South American populations, however, especially those further south, may make large migrations to the northernmost parts of the Brazilian Amazon. I'm assuming "large" here refers to large numbers of this particular population migrating and not that it is a long distance migration. You might want to alter the wording?
Best of luck with the FAC review.

I forgot to mention that I reformatted the Breeding section so that the paragraphs each dealt with a specific topic (I felt). This necessitated me moving the juvenile male photo to the following section so that the Breeding section's layout was maintained.

Galendalia, Can't say that I'm the right person to ask about that, I'm not very familiar with permissions. If you want the perm, you can ask at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Template editor. Alternatively, if you wish to make just a small number of edits, you would be better off just submitting edit requests on the pages in question, or asking a template editor/admin to make the edits on your behalf.

CaptainEek, are you able to edit your closure to provide clarification, or would I have to request that at WP:AN? I feel like the closing statement, "I read the consensus to be that there shall be no paragraph regarding the mental health of Donald Trump" is overly broad because it can be interpreted to mean that there can be no paragraph which includes any text whatsoever making any reference to "mental health". This seems to be how you yourself interpreted that.[3]) I don't see a policy reason for this. So for instance, if I proposed creating a "Personal image" subsection under Public profile with the below text, it could be reverted based on Consensus 39[4].
Personal image
Beginning in the 1980s, Trump had a strong presence in tabloid media where he was portrayed as a playboy and an extravagantly wealthy hero of the working class.[1] Political scientist Michael Nelson writes that Trump has cultivated an image as "the epitome of entrepreneurial success and glamour".[2]
During his political career, "Trump's unique personal style, brashness and disregard for conventional political norms and discourse" has won him both supporters and detractors, according to Gallup.[3] In response to questions raised about his temperament and mental status, Trump has described himself as a "very stable genius".[4][5][6][7]

You write, "Even if we don't take armchair diagnosis as fringe, any paragraph would have to be exactingly written to stay within BLP bounds."..."Even many of the support votes had a caveat that they would only support if the ensuing paragraph was tightly controlled and did not get into fringe issues such as Trump possibly having dementia." That only speaks to the possibility of using armchair diagnoses or including information meant to educate readers about specific diagnoses, not whether to include any mention of his mental health. You write, "While I personally think there could be some carefully worded addition at some point in the future, given the factors discussed: I read the consensus to be that there shall be no paragraph regarding the mental health of Donald Trump. Should substantial new information regarding Trump's mental health arise, feel free to open a new discussion. " This last text taken in context must also refer to diagnoses or medical opinions, but as I said it could be mistakenly interpreted to mean there could not even be a mention of the media story or his own comments about his mental health.
It sounded like you do believe that any mention whatsoever of his mental health was indeed addressed by the RfC close, because you communicated to me that "any paragraph about his mental health would need to be carefully written to give WP:DUE coverage and avoid WP:BLP issues." [5] But that's not a policy or consensus evaluation; of course any added text would have to adhere to policies.
Would you clarify that your close does not find that there shall be no text mentioning Trump's mental health? Thank you.

Hi CaptainEek. Avast and ahoy there!! congrats on your adminship. I hope it's okay if I still approach you periodically, to get your input on my efforts at editing here at Wikipedia? I can still really use your help and input on various things. thanks!!
could you please take a look at this article, when you have a chance?
The article is: 2020s in political history. As you can see, this article is one that I have created, in the hopes of providing it as a way for Wikipedia to continuously provide an overview and a chronicle of contemporary history, as events happen.
so far, the Wikipedia community seems to have accepted this new type of article for the most part. I would like to do everything I can to make sure this article is formatted logically, and can continue to develop and to be updated periodically.
If you have ideas or comments on the format used, or the content, or the basic article structure, feel free to let know. obviously I am hoping that new articles continue to be created on this basis, for each successive decade as time passes. so that is one reason that I would welcome any input on this.

Sm8900, I'm trying to see how that is distinct from 2020 in politics and government? I'm wondering if the article might be better titled as 2020s in politics and government, to match the year articles? Otherwise, seems to be good. It can always be tricky to keep these large scale articles "tamed", but its easier when there is someone (like you!) to keep watch over them.

I suspected as much, and it also explains the unexplained comment "and after discussing it with a few other editors".

Hi CaptainEek, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Is this your original account? If you've had previous accounts, but lost access to them, you need to say so.
If you have a conflict of interest in Grapinet or his companies, or have been paid in any way, including being an employee of Grapinet or his companies, you need to disclose that fact. See WP:PAID for more info.
The reason for the decline of the article was multi-fold. For starters, it reads pretty promotional, and has lots of buzzwords in it.
Mainly, the draft didn't have sources that established Grapinet's notability. The sources mentioned Grapinet either briefly or not at all. Many of the sources were also not reliable. To get the draft approved, you'd need to find multiple quality sources that discuss Grapinet with more than just passing mentions.

Thank you CaptainEek for your responses. Ok I just add on my user page the fact that I'm an employee of Worldline, the company led by Gilles Grapinet. hope it will help to publish his page. What's more, this draft we are trying to publish is a translation of the already published french page of Mr Grapinet (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Grapinet).
You're speaking about buzzwords and others promotional facts, we did not have this blocking factors on french wikipedia. Is it different on the english version of wikipedia?
Ok for the notability i'm trying to find other sources.
Will it help if I first publish the company page?

Each language of Wikipedia has different standards. I don't know what they do on French Wiki, but here we do not allow promotional editing, and require our articles to be neutral.

Hi, I see you're active now, I'm dealing with an editor who is violating ARBPIA 30/500 and shouldn't be editing, I warned the editor and placed a pagenotice but they still edit. They even said they will continue to do so until they build a script to do so. They originally edited under an IP and then created this username "Yeyp" as if that wasn't under 30/500, so I would appreciate if both the Yeyp and "65.18.220.200" were blocked so he wouldn't be able to come back. Also, if you can ECP the Murder of Aya Maasarwe page that would be great.I did request them both, but not sure how long that will take. Thanks in advance!

Most of that article isnt covered under ARBPIA and it should be unprotected. The template should also be changed to include the relatedcontent=yes flag, as literally the only part of the article that comes anywhere close to being included in ARBPIA is the victim's identification as a Palestinian (though how that becomes an ARBPIA issue is still a little murky to me), but by no means should the article as a whole be extended confirmed protected. Can you drop it back to a time-limited semi?

Nableezy, you can change the pagenotice yourself since you have pagenotice rights.

ARBPIA4 requires that once a notice is added it only be removed by an admin. I think "downgrading" it to relatedcontent is close enough Id rather have the admin (or the original creator, that being you) do it. I think semi for the time being would be enough, it would have blocked all the previous disruption (including the until now ignored arbpia vios). I dont think indefinite extended-confirmed is appropriate for an article with maybe 5 words possibly connected to the topic when that connection itself is weak. nableezy - 20:13, 28 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-28T20:13:00.000Z","author":"Nableezy","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Nableezy-2020-05-28T20:13:00.000Z-Sir_Joseph-2020-05-28T20:11:00.000Z","replies":["c-Sir_Joseph-2020-05-28T20:22:00.000Z-Nableezy-2020-05-28T20:13:00.000Z"]}}-->
Nableezy, the problem is that the related-content template is not the same template currently used on the page. The two line template now used does not have a related content usage. The only template that has a related content is the ARBCOM 3/500 one that is huge. I put in the page notice yesterday, so I will edit it to related-content, but I don't think we should put the whole ARBCOM 30/500 template, I think we should just modify the existing template and create a related content variable.

If my protection was in the wrong, I will definitely drop it back to semi. But I'll admit I'm a bit confused, perhaps folks can help. My understanding of WP:ARBPIA4 was that the conflict area included related content, and that related content could be given general sanctions, and that the general sanctions included 500/30. The general way to achieve 500/30 is of course ECP. The Murder of Aya Maasarwe does appear tenuously related at first, but given that there was an extensive talk page discussion over her nationality, and edit warring over whether she was Palestinian or Israeli, this appears to fall resoundingly into the "related" content. However I'm not an ARBPIA expert, so I'd welcome some feedback and would love to get a better understanding of ARBPIA :) CaptainEekEdits Ho Cap'n!⚓20:55, 28 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-28T20:55:00.000Z","author":"CaptainEek","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-CaptainEek-2020-05-28T20:55:00.000Z-Sir_Joseph-2020-05-28T03:41:00.000Z","replies":["c-El_C-2020-05-28T21:04:00.000Z-CaptainEek-2020-05-28T20:55:00.000Z","c-Sir_Joseph-2020-05-28T21:06:00.000Z-CaptainEek-2020-05-28T20:55:00.000Z"]}}-->
CaptainEek, no one is an ARBPIA expert (except perhaps the few editors who focus largely on the ARBPIA topic area), certainly no uninvolved admin that I know of is. The rules remain arcane and contradictory to this day, especially the "primary articles" versus "related content," and when to use protection (ECP and otherwise) vis-à-vis what the templates instructs admins to do. Out of all the discretionary sanctions, it is the most cumbersome topic area — the most difficult to navigate, by far, to editors and admins alike.

CaptainEek, it needed ECP, that's not an issue, the issue now is whether to make it indef or just a semi, for like a couple of weeks. Then there is a discussion, on whether the whole article needs ARBPIA, which I agree, it doesn't. The problem is that the current template is the wrong one since there is no "relatedcontentflag" for that one, and the other template that does have a related content, while you can put it in, would be huge. My suggestion would be to make a new template rather than add a huge template but I don't really care either way. As for protection, I don't mind if you lower it, but I think it needs to cool off first, and I think a month would be fine until the vandal loses his attention.

I think I have a fairly good understanding despite my lowly status. But an article falls into one of three categories, wholly within the topic area, partially within the topic area (relate content), and wholly outside the topic area. For example, the sections of Bill Clinton that discuss Oslo and Wye River dont make the article wholly within the topic area, so the rules on 50/300 and 1RR do not apply to that entire article. The instead only apply to that portion of the article that relates to the topic area. And as you cant really protect just a section and you cant rely on ARBPIA4 to protect the non-related parts that mostly rules out extended-confirmed protection of the entire article. As far as I can tell, this is governed by Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel_articles_4#General_sanctions_upon_related_content. The usual methods for disruption there (semi-protection or full-protection, blocks) would be the normal course of action there. Then an article like Ariel Sharon is so inextricably linked to the topic area that any edit to it is covered, even things that are themselves unrelated (his childhood for example). That article can be extended-confirmed as it is a primary topic area article. The Murder of Aya Maasarwe article is in the Bill Clinton (less really, it's literally a couple of words), which to me means if there is a single ip edit-warring they can be blocked, multiple ips can be semi-protected against, a user can be blocked and so on. But as it stands, theres a level of protection higher than both required and in my understanding allowed for material wholly outside of the topic area. nableezy - 23:04, 28 May 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-05-28T23:04:00.000Z","author":"Nableezy","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Nableezy-2020-05-28T23:04:00.000Z-Can_you_block_this_user_please?","replies":["c-Doug_Weller-2020-05-29T17:50:00.000Z-Nableezy-2020-05-28T23:04:00.000Z","c-CaptainEek-2020-05-29T18:21:00.000Z-Nableezy-2020-05-28T23:04:00.000Z"]}}-->

Can you please extend the protection on the List of Perry Mason episodes page?

Dharmabumstead, well seeing as how it is currently at DRN, the edit warring seems to have calmed. Page protection is not pre-emptive. Though if someone reverts the content again, leave me a post ASAP and I will protect the page again. Also, if Zeus Maximus keeps doing his... roleplay? shtick, lemme know too so I can deal with that.

The Wikimedia Foundation announced that they will develop a universal code of conduct for all WMF projects. There is an open local discussion regarding the same.
Arbitration
A motion was passed to enact a 500/30 restriction on articles related to the history of Jews and antisemitism in Poland during World War II (1933–45), including the Holocaust in Poland. Article talk pages where disruption occurs may also be managed with the stated restriction.

this draft is transcluded from a document in my own user space. that way, if I make multiple edits, I won't cause multiple notifications to be sent, as they would if I wrote the draft here on your talk page. let me know what you think, and please make any edits that you may wish. as you can see, this is very brief and concise; I don't feel a need to make this overly complex. however, if there is anything you wish to add, please feel free to do so. thanks!!! --Sm8900 (talk) 22:36, 1 June 2020 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-06-01T22:36:00.000Z","author":"Sm8900","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Sm8900-2020-06-01T22:36:00.000Z-intro_to_editing_ancient_history_topics.","replies":["c-CaptainEek-2020-06-01T22:50:00.000Z-Sm8900-2020-06-01T22:36:00.000Z"]}}-->

Hello, will you take a look at this article which is currently in a bad condition.[6]
One editor reverted my edits despite various issues with the text. The intro really needed a clean up since it was too long and not about Iraq but Mesopotamia. It honestly seems to be an attempt to push down our throats that there is a link between Iraq and Mesopotamia (The first sentence in the article: The Iraqi people, sometimes colloquially, Mesopotamians, or the people of Mesopotamia is honestly laughable. I justified my edits in the edit summary but one editor reverted my edits claiming the info was sourced and extremely relevant. Some of the references don't even mention 'Iraq' and some are straightforward bad sources (ref. 24 is a blog).

CoachLettermanStan, WP:G11 (promotion) definitely applies. As evidenced by your username, and the tone of the article, you intended to promote said Coach. Wikipedia is not for promotion. The language was also hardly that of a formal encyclopedia. Wikipedia writes articles about subjects that have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Unless your coach gets a book written about himself, or a write-up by a major news organization, he's going to have to stick to Twitter.

Regarding our discussion yesterday on IRC about Alicia Garza when I removed the info after the subject of the article's request, editors have been re-adding it. I removed it, informing the editors that the information has been in the article since 2015, but that the sources were only published in 2018, so WP:CIRCULAR. That's what someone had mentioned on IRC. But then I noticed that that is inaccurate - the information was only added after the publication of the sources, so I self-reverted.
However, I thought we had established yesterday that since I was emailed that the subject of the article is being personally attacked based on the info in question, the appropriate thing to do is err on the side of caution, and keep the info out of the article. If so, why are editors adding it despite the fact that I explained that in my edit summary?

Hillelfrei, If editors think the personal life section should be kept, it would be best to open a talk page discussion. I question if the date of birth is right, or even necessary. It is sourced to blackpast.org, which seems to be hosted on a wordpress-esque cite, so I question if the content is user generated...but this seems to be a question for a talk page or perhaps the WP:RSN. The BLP Noticeboard might also be a good place to ask.

Ok. One question - if I start a discussion, is the email I received relevant?

Hi CaptainEek, fyi the unblock request you declined at User talk:STAY AT HOME FOR THE NHS wasn't made by that user, but by a confirmed sock of LTA user Shingling334, masquerading as them - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shingling334.

As I do not understand how responding to your message works, I hope I am doing this the right way...
Thank you for your message but your response was woefully inadequate, not to mention insulting. Please read the following for additional information regarding who I am and reconsider reinstating my page. I wanted to have a Wikipedia professional create a new article for me, with more extensive information and proper references but cannot seem to get past the damage done by the removal of my old page (which had very little information on it). Respectfully, it seems you could at least explore my credits (references contained in the information below) and maybe even contact me like the last Wiki Admin (or whatever your position is) did a few years ago (see further info in the following paragraph). I can be reached at 310-858-6709 and at 310-592-8675. (I screen all calls because being a Hollywood actor, I get LOTS of curiosity seekers trying to reach me.)
When I recently asked for my page to be reinstated, you (CaptainEek) responded, actually negating my entire life and 30+ year career, to say "being just an actor is not enough" to be on Wikipedia. Not pleasant to have one's entire life wiped out without ANY direct contact whatsoever. The last Wikipedia Admin, who helped me clear the copyright on my photo several years ago, was kind enough to call me, talk with me, ask questions, find out facts, and determine that I was indeed worthy of a Wikipedia page.
I am NOT "just an actor", as you wrote. I am an established Hollywood character actor working in the industry for over 30 years who has appeared on over 100 television shows and in a variety of movies. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists, Actor's Equity Association, the American Guild of Variety Artists, and the Television Academy (producers of the Emmy's) -- please note, an actor does NOT get in any of these organizations, particularly the Television Academy, without extensive credits and career exposure. Even TV Guide cites me as a "celebrity". Among my credits, I have appeared in three different Star Trek series (the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, & Enterprise) and am one of less than a handful of actors who has appeared in both the Star Trek and Doctor Who universes (I made an appearance on the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood). In 2016, both the MIRROR and the SUN newspapers in London, England cited me as one of only three actors ranked as "3rd place for the most underrated television actor ***OF ALL TIME***" <ref>www.VanEpperson.com/press<ref>, based on research that compared the all time top TV shows with a list of actors to see who had appeared on them more than any other actors (again, you can see that article on my website at <www.VanEpperson.com/press>. I am also a respected acting coach, acting teacher, and personal mentor for actors in Hollywood.
Now, the problem is that every time I ask to create a new (more extensive) page for Van Epperson on Wikipedia, all the system will offer me is that my page does not exist and has been deleted after "discussion". There is no remedy for my page's removal, which means my 30 year acting career is damaged by Wikipedia for not recognizing me even though there are LOTS of other Wiki cites and various websites that cite me as worthy of inclusion <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Epperson<ref> <ref>https://24.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Epperson<ref> <ref>https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/van_epperson<ref> As you can see, there are a variety of websites that cite me a "Hollywood celebrity". The removal of my Wikipedia page seems to be everlasting and irreparable -- and that does not seem fair in any way.
Please reinstate my page or at least allow me to have a new one created and submit it to see if it is acceptable by Wikipedia standards WITHOUT BEING CUT OFF BY THE PREVIOUS DELETION. I do not mean to violate any Wikipedia rules but after some two decades on Wikipedia, and with a copyright approved photo, a 30 year history in Hollywood, appearances on over 100 TV shows and several movies, I believe there is more than enough reason for me to be listed on Wikipedia. I was not aware my page on Wikipedia was gone until other members of the Hollywood community contacted me to ask why I am NOT on Wikipedia, pointing out that there are MANY actors who ARE on Wikipedia with FAR less credits and notoriety than I have.

Yeswolf, IMDb and other Wiki's are not reliable sources. If you think you meet our notability guidelines, find me 5 news articles from reliable sources that discuss you in detail.

Eloravsmedia, The voice was far from neutral, and super promotional. GoingBatty's feedback was useful: Phrases such as "longest-running adult cam network", "industry leader", "positioned themselves for exponential growth" and "continued to grow their brand" seem promotional, not encyclopedic. If you really wish to create the page, start it as a draft again, using the article wizard. It will need to read like formal encyclopedic English. Be warned: we don't handhold paid editors. Since you are being paid (and we are not), we expect you to be able to commit the time to read our policies, and figure out how to properly write an article and get it approved.

That was the first draft that was deleted. The article was rewritten without such words and still deleted so clearly it was deleted then without being read. The only word was longest-running cam site because Flirt4Free.com was the first camming site created. This is not my job and posting as a favor. I have read the policies and this site is very conflicting with what it asks to what is even there. My articles are being deleted immediately with no chance to edit them. I understand why they would not want someone who is being paid to post but we have all the information and sources so it doesnt seem fair that we would not be able to post our article.

Eloravsmedia, Also relevant is Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Flirt4free, which established that this website was not notable. Now, if you can create a high quality draft with reliable sources that is free of promotional language, you could overcome that. But so far your articles have not. The last deleted version still had issues with poor sources and promotion.

Hello CaptainEek,
Your help can make a difference
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
