Hmm I took a quick look at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Calton_2. Seems I'm not the only one who should be getting an invitation for that walk.

No offense but I don't think that's an appropriate way to resolve disputes. You're basically saying that administrative decisions like this are made based on a vote of involved editors. You and other admins almost blocked me for crying BLP without even checking the sources to assess the validity of my BLP claims, just because I was outnumbered on the talk page. I mean I understand you're busy and good admins such as yourself a precious commodity. I just don't think you should be drawing conclusions that affect longstanding editors' block logs based on a superficial skim of a talk page. Better to say something like "there may be a CRYBLP issue here, can someone please look into it and ask Dr. F for an explanation?" Am I wrong? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 16:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-06-13T16:23:00.000Z","author":"DrFleischman","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-DrFleischman-2018-06-13T16:23:00.000Z-Drmies-2018-06-13T02:27:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-06-13T16:48:00.000Z-DrFleischman-2018-06-13T16:23:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Dr. Fleischman"}}-->
I'm not resolving a dispute, nor did I create the one here under discussion. If someone reverts because of the BLP it behooves them to explain that certainly if it's brought up on a board. And no, this is not a vote, but if a number of folks with judgment agree, then yeah, that's the way that cookie is going to crumble. If one of those admins, say, me, makes a relatively short comment and you think they're wrong or they're not seeing all there is to see, it's better to detail those problems on said board rather than posing it on the admin's talk page as what appears to be a somewhat rhetorical question. Said admin, by the way, does not like any editor of good faith to be blocked.

Mies, how are you faring? Hopefully well...
Don't know if you remember this IP address (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/109.180.164.62). Apparently, they are known for they confrontational manners with their various addresses, and I was on the receiving end with this particular one, which resulted on they having the nerve of reporting me (if you see the list I sent you above, the report was filed on 15 SEPTEMBER 2017, don't know if it will be easy to find the thread for you). Not for that, but they were eventually blocked, for more harassing; they dedicated some very harsh words to me in their talkpage until I left them talking to themselves and removed my entries (here is the complete flow of conversation before I did so https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:109.180.164.62&diff=820748178&oldid=820747575).
Now they have returned with this other address (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/87.54.9.210), and in one of their articles of choice, Quique Sánchez Flores, they already wasted no time in commenting my ineptitude in the summary. Of course, I reverted! Could you please check both versions to see which is more correct, before this escalates AGAIN?

UPDATE: if you notice, I have now reached a compromise in the wording, it did contain some glaring errors that were quite possibly written by me as I edit massively there.

They did it again even though I tried to reach a compromise (at least this time no insults, an improvement of sorts!). If you notice, the WATFORD section was written entirely by an English editor with whom I interacted heavily (TheAlmighteyDrill, blocked in the meantime), can you please tell me what's wrong with it because I can't see it? in the VALENCIA sub-section, they wrote "In his first season, Flores guided the club to third place, and then to qualification for the UEFA Champions League...". It's implying the third place in the league and the Champions berth were totally unrelated; I wrote "In his first season, Flores guided the club to third place, which qualified for the UEFA Champions League...", because one was a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE of the other, isn't mine more logic (not blowing my wiki-horn or anything)? Last but not least, for no apparent reason except fuck all, I arranged the display of the references from Goal, they reverted it!
Can you please see that the article is protected? Thanks (but I will try again to engage in more compromise in wording, along with one or two refs). --Quite A Character (talk) 09:28, 14 June 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-06-14T09:28:00.000Z","author":"Quite A Character","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Quite_A_Character-2018-06-14T09:28:00.000Z-Hard_times_(?)","replies":["c-Quite_A_Character-2018-06-14T10:06:00.000Z-Quite_A_Character-2018-06-14T09:28:00.000Z"]}}-->

They reverted AGAIN, new refs included!!

Vasco, I have never found fault, really, with their English. I don't quite know what's going on with the references. Starting that one section with "In his first season", for instance, is helpful because it clearly indicates chronology, and giving that bit of information to start the sentence is an advantage over the mere repetition of the name to begin the sentence. And I don't know, removing that reference from /www.mundodeportivo.com in that Beginnings section--is the information also in the later reference from www.elmundo.es? At any rate, Oshwah blocked them...

SOOOOOOOOOORRY, only checked out your reply now (I remember checking your page in the hours that followed to my original message, but after seeing no reply I forgot)! I have (hopefully, if I understood them well) followed on your editorial suggestions grammarwise. Regarding the ref issue you ask in the last lines, sometimes refs may contain similar content, but what I tried to do was use the article from MD to source him signing for Getafe (oddly enough, could not found a direct one though I tried and tried) and do the same with the one from ELMUNDO to source him signing with Valencia (that one is a direct "hit"). Isn't that what WP is all about, source your choice of wording?
And surely, you don't imply the IP removed the sources for aesthetic reasons, no ("repeated refs", "not needed", etc)? Nope, they did it to TAUNT ME!

I reverted your addition of evidence as it was a week after the close of the evidence phase. My edit summary directed you to the workshop page, but as that has since also been closed I've taken the liberty of moving the content you added to the 'analysis of evidence' section. I hope that's okay. If for some reason you'd rather it just be left out let me know and I'll self-revert the change on the workshop page.

Hi Drmies. I'm going to post this here because your talk page tends to have lots of watchers, so I figure it's probably a good place to ask. I came across Asim543 while checking on an image file. Looking at some of their other edits, it seems as if they are making quite a lot of basic errors that might be because English is not their first language. I understand WP:IMPERFECT and WP:CIRNOT and I don't want be seen as WP:BITEing a relatively new editor. Correcting the mistakes is not a big deal, but I'm wondering if it would then be appropriate to bring this up for discussion on the editor's user talk. My goal wouldn't be to discourage them from further editing, but just to make them aware of the simple errors they are making. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:19, 22 June 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-06-22T05:19:00.000Z","author":"Marchjuly","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Marchjuly-2018-06-22T05:19:00.000Z-Editor_English_ability","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-06-22T14:30:00.000Z-Marchjuly-2018-06-22T05:19:00.000Z","c-Drmies-2018-06-22T14:33:00.000Z-Marchjuly-2018-06-22T05:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

Pretty sure that's a kid trying to get a leg up by claiming to be the principal.

But that's what's on their website too, "Principal's message". Or did they use it with a capital or something? A lot of people get those wrong.

Adding my two cents; in my experience with COIs they tend to be very formal during discussions and don't use short forms like "BTW". However, the fact that they have been here so long did throw me off too. I guess we will have to see. If they aren't the principal I assume they are at least some kind of teacher or administrator.

Geo Swan should have been banned from BLPs years and years ago. This one was far from the worst (borderline speedy, but I certainly would have voted for deletion at AfD anyway). Things like User:Geo Swan/Fa‘iz al-Shanbari (from 2009) or User:Geo Swan/Hesham Mohamed Hussain and User:Geo Swan/Mohammed Quayyum Khan (from 2012) should not remain in userspace indefinitely, and have no chance of becoming articles anyway, so a major cleanup of Geo Swan's userspace seems necessary.

I agree completely with Fram. In regards to the example here, it failed WP:BLP1E.

DGG disagree with me on the deletion, but besides the other problems I deleted it primarily because of the improperly verified claim that he's "routinely characterizes as an 'al Qaeda associate'" associate, which is a rather damning thing to say about a person. The Chicago Tribune article makes it clear he claims he didn't know what they were and doesn't use the word "associate" to describe him (GeoSwan put that in quotation marks), and the Fox article (these are the two that are cited in the opening sentence, with "was described as an al Qaeda associate") uses "associate", but for another person--and the article is nothing but speculation from detectives and some commentary from, of all people, Andrew Napolitano. Calling him something he's not called in reliable sources is already a BLP violation, and putting false quotes around a term makes it even worse. GeoSwan's says "Alrababah was convicted of playing a role in identity theft" but without a source--a bit of due diligence with the help of Google shows he was convicted in 2002--but "Non-terrorism related", which GeoSwan conveniently failed to mention (I do not believe in their good faith anymore).

Do understand that the out-of-nowhere defeat of Joseph Crowley by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a screaming-headline shocker.

PackMecEng, I don't think you are reading the temperature correctly at all. I don't know anyone who is upset at Gorsuch per se. What's being loathed is McConnell's tactics, that excuse that he so obviously didn't even believe himself. Gorsuch, I don't know--I can't help but wonder how he would have swung in Obergefell; I don't think it's a done deal he would have sided with the anti-gay marriage side. But seriously, no, not everyone is still angry about the last guy. "No one is angry about the last guy" is more likely to be correct.

No I don't think they were angry at the man, but the process as you pointed out. I do however think we will see it brought up more in the coming weeks when Trump announces and tried to get confirmed whomever he nominates. Everyday I get to listen to Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, and Norman Goldman, and since it was announced yesterday the McConnell situation has been brought up quite a bit. Now if it will make it to the midterm, by which time I would assume Trump would have his pick confirmed well before then, is a big speculation. Crazy times we live in.

On Gorsuch. I don’t know whether it’s the weight of history, an epiphany about the function of SCOTUS, or interesting gases emanating from the bowels of the court à la the Delphic Oracle; but the actions of some justices cannot have been predicted based upon their earlier careers.

Thank you Dr. Mies for the clarification on the Arbcom page. Just want to add that I know several users who were/are upset about the edits of user:K.e.coffman. However I am not one of them, as they found little or nothing to amend on the articles I re-wrote for GA, which includes pretty much all the top brass and a lot of heavily viewed articles.

Diannaa, I like to think that I knew pretty well how much you had done for our beautiful project, but the last time I stumbled on your user page (probably to check yet again how many ns and as...) I was just incredibly impressed by the number of stars. I don't think I ever thought of you as a MILHIST person, but I am glad you are. As for Coffman, yeah, and that's all I'll say.

You'd better move your new edit from the evidence page (which is closed) to Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/German war effort/Evidence before a clerk does. You'll probably move it more the way you like it if you do it yourself. Or shall I ask superclerk Bishzilla?

Comment: Yes, the credit for "Flagcruft" belongs to Diannaa. I did find it a bit funny that a MilHist coord accused me of using this word, He sometimes deletes cited material in his effort to remove (...) what he describes as “flagcruft”, while I merely linked to the Talk page thread that Diannaa had started [3]. In any case, I'd like to share a story. After my article was published in the Society for Military History's newletter, I received a number of unsolicited emails. One included:
Maybe 10 years ago I tried to edit the article about Manstein to include his anti-semitism and role in atrocities. As fast as I made a change, someone came in and took it out. Eventually, I gave up.
I looked at the article today for the first time in long while and it now has a complete picture of the man. The article includes discussion of a letter in which Manstein argued with the SS over who should get the wristwatches of murdered Jews, an especially grotesque incident that was new to me.
People outside of Wikipedia do notice when articles provide a neutral representation, and I thank Diannaa for having rewritten the Manstein page. BTW, it was one of the articles targeted by the subject of the ArbCom case, where he planned to fix "everything" and "rehabilitate" it: source. That's why, in part, I felt that the case was needed.

(edit conflict)(reply to K.e.coffman) It makes me nauseated to even think about it. The first thing he did on Manstein was pop in to question sourced content where two historians had opined that Manstein most likely lied at his trial.

You, at Wikipedia have a "don't bite the newcomers" policy. i felt not only bitten, but raped by you and Dissident93. I am a newcomer, I saw your information is wrong, I wanted to fix it. For me, an experienced web designer wikipdia is extremely hard to navigate and edit. I want to update the LGD logo, but I don't know how to do that. Forum BB codes are more intuitive than this. I can fill you with lots of information about Esports, Dota2 since I work closely in that sphere, i wanted to contribute with factual information, because the page move from LGD Gaming to PSG.LGD is simply NOT JUSTIFIED, PSG don't own and didn't buy LGD, it's a partnership for 1 team only, out of 6 others. I revised what I could, and it got changed back for no reason by Dissident. it felt discouraging.
I'm now not sure if I should even help you any further, since I wanted to help and got a 31 hour block for it. Where's the fairness in that? For wanting to correct your incapable moderator?

Frustrating, isn't it? But the problem is, all these wikia things have their up-to-date content, and then once that content becomes notable, it eventually finds its way into reliable sources and then it eventually finds its way into Wikipedia articles. And then people create really excellent Wikipedia articles about video games, and then people complain because really excellent articles about video games are on the front page of Wikipedia too much. And then you complain because, oh I don't know exactly. Probably our coverage of e-sports needs to be improved. But then, probably every single major media outlet's coverage of e-sports needs to be improved, and that needs to happen first. Patience.

The page defines Yelp as "controversial" in the first sentence of the Lead and has a dedicated section about a recent lawsuit, Hassel v. Bird. That section says stuff like "Yelp also censors reviews" and that Yelp is "misleading site visitors." It contains likely original research about an individual's experience posting negative reviews on Yelp itself. The section contains no secondary sources. The page also has a Controversy section, which is discouraged by WP:CRITS. That Controversy section cut-off the "Relationship with Businesses" section that is now a stub-section.
I can't imagine most editors would find this to be an NPOV representation of secondary sources. Doing a quick Google News search, the Bird case appears to be widely considered a major victory for Yelp. It held that Yelp cannot be accountable for the content on its site (much like Wikipedia) and no one can force them to censor reviews under defamation claims.

It seems to me that Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market ought to be semi-protected.

Yeah, but it would have to be seriously bad mess before an admin can decide that the mess is so big that it overrides good faith and all that.

Please note that a short time ago Modernist was warned by User:NeilN about using invective like this to characterize ongoing content disputes [7], a warning Modernist has repeatedly disregarded. This comes out of a longrunning content dispute regarding the use of nonfree images of visual art, where Modernist is among those who strongly reject NFCC policy (see, for example, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts#Under attack, and the related deletion discussions at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 June 18 (where many of the disputed uses that Modernist advocated for have already been removed). The underlying issue is whether certain articles on the visual arts are exempt from (or subject to much more relaxed application of) basic WP:NFCC, WP:V, and WP:RS policies. With his side not prevailing in the dispute, he is again personalizing the issues rather than substantively addressing serious policy concerns. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

Pinkbeast, you are doing what you can, except for one thing: you didn't warn the IP editor for edit warring. Doing that is always a good idea, since it speeds up a process that otherwise needs to go through a couple of cycles--warning someone is the first one. I just did, and I reverted them again, and I hope they will knock it off with the reverts. I think there's enough ground for an edit warring block if they do it again.

Hi, while NPPing I came across EngelskaSurname who has a false UP, claiming 12 years experience, Catholicism, and work at DRN. From previous cases, I am pretty sure this was lifted wholesale from a pre-existing user, but the page is not familiar and some cursory searches are not bringing up any priors. Do you or any of your weeb-cultTPS know where this is originally from? I don't want to remove it or ask for deletion if I don't have the original as evidence.

Seems like they want to be caught, since EnglishEfternamn and EngelskaSurname are the same name, with the languages, Swedish and English, switching places ("engelska" is Swedish for "English" and "efternamn" is Swedish for "surname"...). I doubt the sock master is a native Swedish speaker, though, since "engelska efternamn" is in the plural but "English surname" in the singular (in the singular it would be "engelskt efternamn"...). - Tom | Thomas.W talk16:44, 9 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-09T16:44:00.000Z","author":"Thomas.W","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Thomas.W-2018-07-09T16:44:00.000Z-L3X1-2018-07-09T16:13:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Drmies, I know we've disagreed at various points, but whatever, I'd love your advice here. I saw your comments at Talk:Lana Lokteff and thought they were reasonable. I do think her denial of being a White Supremacist, even if published on Youtube, needs to be covered since this is a BLP.
However, User:WikiVolunteerBen's latest comment on the talk page, asking "Are you Jewish? Serious question." seems to be a major red flag. Am I misreading this? I've made a post at ANI [14] and have notified WikiVolunteerBen.

(talk page watcher) Hi Alexanderlee. Your block log doesn't show your account ever being blocked. Is it possible that you forgot to login when tried to edit yesterday? Maybe you were editing from a different IP address than usual, one which had been blocked by Drmies or another admin? The only other possibility I can think of is that you were tyring to edit an article which had been fully protected so that only administrators can edit it and that protection was set to last until January. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:43, 13 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-13T07:43:00.000Z","author":"Marchjuly","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Marchjuly-2018-07-13T07:43:00.000Z-Alexanderlee-2018-07-13T07:12:00.000Z","replies":["c-Alexanderlee-2018-07-13T12:02:00.000Z-Marchjuly-2018-07-13T07:43:00.000Z"]}}-->

(talk page stalker)@Alexanderlee: A rangeblock is a block put on a range of IP addresses. From what you said, your IP address happened to be within the range of an WP:LTA case, and Drmies blocked the range. The reason you're no longer seeing any such method is likely because your ISP rotated your IP address to one outside of that range. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.12:25, 13 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-13T12:25:00.000Z","author":"MPants at work","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-MPants_at_work-2018-07-13T12:25:00.000Z-Alexanderlee-2018-07-13T02:25:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"\u16d7\u16c1\u16df\u16da\u16be\u16c1\u16b1Pants"}}-->
I think MPants and Marchjuly are right. I (and others) have placed a lot of rangeblocks recently to deal with a couple of trolls, and it is entirely possible that your IP fell under one of those.

Hi, it seems that you have blocked editing until 11 January 2019 for possibly a lot of people. I logged into Wikipedia on my mobile this morning and found I was unable to edit pages while using my mobile data, but there was no problem when using my wifi. The reason given for the block was an LTA rangeblock, so I presume that someone else using the same service provider has been blocked, and because of this, so has everyone else using the same provider? Would just like some clarification on this issue, cheers.

I take it the block message says very clearly what WP:COLLATERAL is, but I certainly recall browsing Wikipedia on my phone logged out while generally "chilling" in Hyde Park and noticed my IP was blocked (it would have been an O2 4G connection, can't remember the IP or who did the block).

On Miss Sarita's talk, you wrote "as an admin, though, you know how serious the vandalism can get sometimes". I don't often do anti-vandalism, but the stuff on Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia that I redacted really angered me; it's the only time I've done a rangeblock without hesitation, thinking "take that, you sick fuck". So yeah, I know the sort of stuff we're up against and it's a shame good-faith editors get caught by it.

Given the tone and content of some of the vandalism I've seen in the last year or so (haven't looked at yours yet) I'm starting to rethink the "anyone can edit" thing. But then I see all the good work that IPs do, and I also frequently do IP edits (the app doesn't do this two-stage logging in), and we should have a low threshold, and then I'm wavering again.

Yup, I occasionally do anti-vandalism patrol logged out, just to catch people out who think "OMG IP, BAN BAN BAN". There was the maths expert regular IP who got into a tussle with RandNetter96 and if I hadn't popped along to AN3 at the right time, the IP might have got a "3RR, NPA, sock" block from somebody else. Instead the IP got let off (because he was right and the only party to actually think about improving the article) while RandNetter96 turned out to be a sock anyway. The moral of this, ladies and gentlemen, is AGF really is a thing, not a three letter acronym to whack people round the head with.

Drmies, thanks for understanding about the IP sock. I used to mark the reverts WP:DENY but NeilN suggested EVADE [[16]]. This sock is targeting the firearms topics basically because I'm here. If you look at HughD's sock history you can see this guy has used a lot of Chicago area IP addresses. He's even been bold enough to try to discuss things with NeilN[[17]]. Since his block occasionally the IP will throw up a RfC or the like in hopes of getting something to stick regardless of sanctions. This is part of why I typically will revert even mundane changes.

Would you please take a look at what is happening over there? 72bikers made an edit (removing some quotes that had been in the article at least since March) that I challenged by reversion. My revert was reverted very quickly, with almost no discussion. I think that violates the remedies, so I asked the editor (Thomas.W) to send revert, but they refused. I reported them to ANI but was told it's the wrong venue. So I restored the revert the next day, was again reverted, and then again.
Unfortunately I'm now in a place where Wikipedia is blocked, and I can only access it by a phone with very slow internet. That makes it impossible to copy and paste diffs or make long reports. So I cannot report these users to the correct notice board (I'm not even sure which it is). But I consider their actions a blatant violation, and yet the edit stands.

It seems editors want this to go through AE (and a thread was closed twice, though in my quick perusal I couldn't find where the first thread was at or how it was closed). I don't necessarily agree with that, but it's true that there is a hesitancy to deal with such matters outside of AE. I don't think we're doing ourselves many favors by always choosing that route, and I can't collect evidence or go to AE right now; perhaps Slatersteven can? What I can say is that I don't understand their reasons for wanting the quotes gone: "they're wrong" just isn't a good enough reason to throw out quotes from reliable sources (and they seem to be reliable), and this semi-semantic finagling of the definition of "assault rifle" is just another ruse from gun advocates.

(talk page watcher)Actually, it was a "ruse" developed by anti-gun folks in the late 80s/early 90s to create a public perception that firearms are capable of assaulting and that firearms in the hands of civilians are baaaad. And the ruse worked when the "assault weapons ban" was put into place by Congress for 10 years beginning in 1994. However, like all ruses, the truth the ruse became clear when the ban did nothing to deter the use of firearms that were part of the list of no-no guns with the criminals being the only ones still using them and the only ones able to get them. And today? Well, gosh - with the ban expired in 2004, the most commonly used "assault weapons" are fists, feet, and knives while rifles are way down on the list. These statistics are all available at the ATF, CDC, and FBI websites, by the way. -- ψλ ● ✉✓14:43, 23 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-23T14:43:00.000Z","author":"Winkelvi","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Winkelvi-2018-07-23T14:43:00.000Z-Drmies-2018-07-23T14:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-07-23T18:11:00.000Z-Winkelvi-2018-07-23T14:43:00.000Z"],"displayName":"-- \u03c8\u03bb"}}-->

Let's put a few things straight here. I'm all for gun control, but since the English language Wikipedia is an international English-language encyclopaedia, not a U S only encyclopaedia, I feel that discussions about gun control in the U S should be kept to articles about gun control in the U S, and not spill over to all articles about firearms. Assault rifle is not a relatively new U S only term, but a longstanding (70+ years) internationally accepted and used name for a very specific type of fully automatic purely military firearm, a type of firearm that no civilians in the Western world, not even in the U S, have ever been able to legally own (in the U S because of a federal law from 1932 that banned civilian ownership of fully automatic weapons), with the name being a direct translation of the German term Sturmgewehr (derived from Sturmgewehr 44, the firrst weapon of that type). People in the U S who are not familiar with military weapons, however, often conflate assault rifle with the U S only political/legal term assault weapon, which apart from the first part of the name has nothing in common with assault rifle (even though some types of assault weapons have been made to look like assault rifles), since assault weapon refers to semi-automatic purely civilian weapons only, while assault rifle only refers to select fire (i.e. fully automatic) purely military weapons. - Tom | Thomas.W talk15:01, 23 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-23T15:01:00.000Z","author":"Thomas.W","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Thomas.W-2018-07-23T15:01:00.000Z-Drmies-2018-07-23T14:07:00.000Z","replies":["c-Dlthewave-2018-07-23T15:09:00.000Z-Thomas.W-2018-07-23T15:01:00.000Z"]}}-->

The quotes are visible only in the reflist-section, not in the short Terminology-section that mentions the Armalite AR-15, and only one of the quotes makes clear that it is talking about the Armalite AR-15. The Terminology-section of the article also doesn't mention that the Armalite AR-15 differs from AR-15 style rifles by being fully automatic (referring to it as being an assault rifle is of no help since the average reader doesn't know the difference between an assault rifle and an assault weapon; see my post above), and seems to be deliberately intended to confuse people... - Tom | Thomas.W talk15:31, 23 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-23T15:31:00.000Z","author":"Thomas.W","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Thomas.W-2018-07-23T15:31:00.000Z-Dlthewave-2018-07-23T15:09:00.000Z","replies":["c-Springee-2018-07-23T16:52:00.000Z-Thomas.W-2018-07-23T15:31:00.000Z"]}}-->

Springee, that may be useful. Typically (as an admin) I'm only interested in whether these quotes exceed the fair use boundaries.

ANI, ELSEWHERE!!!, AE, GO ELSEWHERE!!!, frankly the admins seem to be unwilling to deal with this so why the hell should I bother? I really am not very impressed with the unwillingness to answer the question "was there a violation?". I have noticed on other pages that DS just seems an excuse for some admin to go "see we have done something" and then the same behavior that caused the DS continues unabated. IF DS is meaningless why even have it, and if not then admins need to more proactively enforce it, it is after all why it is there.Slatersteven (talk) 08:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-24T08:30:00.000Z","author":"Slatersteven","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Slatersteven-2018-07-24T08:30:00.000Z-AR_15_style_rifle","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-07-24T16:09:00.000Z-Slatersteven-2018-07-24T08:30:00.000Z"]}}-->
Slatersteven, as long as we're dealing with a whole bunch of people who think that INVOLVED is a blanket concept that they can throw over anything, as long as so many editors think that admins are incapable of setting aside their personal opinions if they are to judge policy violations, I am staying out of this one. But I agree: we need more admins taking up their responsibilities in DS areas. Right now we got a half dozen, maybe a few more, admins making most of those decisions--that is not a good situation.

Hi Drmies. Nah I wasn't trolling. I wasn't deliberately baiting to get a rise. It ain't my style. If it came across like that, I apologise to you and the community. But I was fucking angry. I've been made aware from the threads there is some shit going on in the Wiki politics projects. At the moment it's conservatism. I saw banning it as an unwise an extreme and totalitarian move. Ditto banning any of them. But the nub of it is this. I'm angry and actually a little scared as to how we conduct politics in the West in 2018. Trump, Corbyn, i'm sick of them all. Populism of the right and left stalks the continents. Political tribalism has now become society-threatening. Back in the day you could agree to disagree, find common ground. Those days are gone. And yeah. I went to university to hears ideas and thoughts that were designed to make me uncomfortable. And many did. But nobody ever ran from an idea. You came up with other ideas from the academic toolkit University gave you. (I'm not talking about real-deal Nazi's, that's what violent demos were for, and I attended a few). I used to be seriously far-left, but no one Militant or the SWP would have me because I didn't (and don't) follow party lines. So now i'm a centrist I suppose. I'm no conservative (in the U.S sense. There are differences. In the U.K the Tories are about where Clinton was). So I was venting basically yeah. Thanks for the good words Dr by the way, but even valued long-term contributors can blow their tops sometimes. Thanks for the space to type this crap. I don't know what is up or down anymore.

You know this talk page is a happy place, but there is plenty of space for honest comments by valued contributors. Let's all try to judge things on their merits. As one other contributor said, or hinted, if a project does more than just coordinate in order to improve the quality of the encyclopedia, it doesn't matter what ilk they are, but I can see how some believe that this project does a bit more than that. I was displeased at one of the DYK tips, and at the language of "planting a seed"--that latter evokes an Astroturfing association for me, but that's just me and I don't think that personal association of mine is grounds enough for me to try and ban something, if "ban" was even the right word. I live under a two-party system (not allowed to vote anyway, haha) and I firmly believe that having only two parties is toxic; at least you have, I think, two and a half, at least, no?

(talk page stalker)(edit conflict) Irondome, my comment, directly above the subsection explicitly called out Libertarianism and Liberalism as possible wikiprojects to include in such a ban. I specified that it was only those political projects with an ideology that I was proposing to ban.
I also stated that there's no way to have such projects without them resulting in POV pushing: a point nobody who responded even touched on.
The point of my proposal -as any reasonable person could clearly see- was to reduce the tribalism of political editors. A reader capable of grasping obvious implications would have seen more: that I was defending Lionelt's editing. Now go read my user page, where I clearly refer to myself as a liberal, feminist and an SJW, and ask yourself again how "deeply sinister," "extreme and totalitarian" it is for me to make a suggestion to reduce tribalism in the defense of an editor who has a political POV in general opposition to my own.
And if you still think it's all of those things, you'll want to start doing some research on what those words mean, because in the grand scale of things, even the most obvious partisan push on WP is about as sinister, extreme and totalitarian as a puppy being potty trained. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it.16:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-07-26T16:59:00.000Z","author":"MPants at work","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-MPants_at_work-2018-07-26T16:59:00.000Z-Irondome-2018-07-26T16:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-07-26T17:05:00.000Z-MPants_at_work-2018-07-26T16:59:00.000Z"],"displayName":"\u16d7\u16c1\u16df\u16da\u16be\u16c1\u16b1Pants"}}-->

a} I’ll follow you anywhere if you have wine instead of cake. b) These days I’m an SJw (Social Justice wimp). c:) On the subject of killing DS-related WikiProjects, we can’t baby~bathwater. It would seem fairly easy to abuse WikiProjects in any DS related area on any “side”. I’ve only witnessed this once, and I raised my concerns in an ANI post that was roundly dismissed; so you won’t see me bringing it up again soon in that forum. But, I remain concerned about any particular WikiProject (or member therein) that may be engaged in votestacking or any other area of POV-pushing.

Per my comment above about my own Wing: I don't usually do wine, though I also have a nice 50 year old Macallan if you like scotch. As for the wikiprojects: Yeah, that was pretty much my point, except I feel like Lionelt is the baby and the wikiprojects are the bathwater. I've seen Lionel's editing and I don't think it's that bad. But wikiprojects where any notification is by definition canvassing, and any coordination is by definition meat-puppetry?

Hello,
Whomever adds the quote on women’s leadership, could you please provide a working citation? The link goes to “The Australian,” but no article or video about Lauren Southern is given.
Also, please do not remove my other edit without providing a valid reason.
If you have any constructive criticism for me, it would much appreciated.
Thank you and have a great day,

Classifying me as a libertarian would be an oversimplification. I consider my ideology a mix of social liberalism and the foreign policy of a neoconservative, if you're really that interested. As for the right being too dogmatic, I am referring to the fact that the American right seems to rely far too much on tradition and religion, things which I think should be held inferior to reason and scientific knowledge. Perhaps I am an asshole; I don't really care all that much, as I have come to learn that being an asshole is warranted on occasion, especially when being confronted by aggressive and condescending individuals (such as the one in the instance to which you are referring). I think it's interesting that all of you have retreated to some random Admin's talk page to mock me instead of confronting me about the issue, as should have been done in the first place.

Not that I must justify to you what I do on my personal user page, but seeing as I only get on here to make a few minor edits to articles every now and then, I modeled that user page after what I had believed to have been the common setup (i.e. I had viewed the pages of the most active contributors and simply tried to make a similar user page). After Bbb23 had blanked my page (as I may add, yet again, without doing the polite thing and contacting me first), I looked at WP:User pages and saw that this was, in fact, not the norm. Hence my own blanking this morning. Spockofdagobah
You can have a userpage, an intricate one even; but the amount of time you spend developing it should be dwarfed by the amount of time you spend improving articles. ~450/500 edits on userpage with ~30/500 on articles is not typically indicative of an editor here to contribute constructively to the encyclopaedia.

I mentioned it because if you talk to alumni of that fine institution, what you will find is that they tend to universally agree that one of the best experiences they had there was feeling like an idiot for the first time in their lives and having the great realization that there are many people in the world of equal and greater intelligence to themselves.You are currently arguing on the talk page of an academic who has published in peer reviewed journals. We have editors here who are faculty at Harvard and retired librarians from Princeton. No one cares that you are a physics undergrad at UNC. It doesn’t matter one iota on Wikipedia. The basic theory behind this website is that anyone can write an encyclopedia because it’s a tertiary source that summarized reliable secondary sources. High school kids can and do write featured articles.What does this mean for you: well, you have a valuable resource by having access to one of the best library systems in the country which means you can contribute a lot to our project.

I can personally attest to that statement, as I have been dealt many blows to my ego at this institution. And as for "getting over myself," I think you will see above that I did admit that I was in the wrong, deleted the intricate user page which may have appeared narcissistic (believe it or not, that was not the intention), and even apologized for not knowing the rules of this website. As for Wikipedians being published, Harvard faculty, etc., great for them, that's something to be proud of. As I think you'll see, the only place I mentioned what/where I was studying was on my user page; it was never intended to be flaunted about, just a detail about my life. And I tend to agree with you, none of it matters here or anywhere else on the Internet. That's why, frankly, I don't care if this user is published, if I am being mocked for something that I did or was purported to have done, I intend to stand up for myself.

I’m glad you see why it might have gotten to people, and am happy you’re having a good experience at UNC. My larger point is that even here in your responsss to Drmies and in your dealings with other users that he warned you about, you don’t seem to quite get that this is a collaborative project where we treat people with respect. I hope you stay and become more involved here, you seem like you have a lot to offer, but working on Wikipedia takes a certain degree of humility (I will never understand how Drmies and EEng still suffer fools like me) and that starts by listening to people who are trying to give you advice.

Could use a second set of eyes on a range block. There's really nutty vandal running on a German Unitymedia range that's been problematic for a while now. Your attempt at ascribing a behavior domain here seems apt, so GSJ it is. It looks like you've blocked him/her with a prior rangeblock, but they've slipped the bounds. I've greatly expanded the rangeblock to this; high traffic, but I could swear all of the edits are still the same troll.

Just looking for another opinion on this; the user Foal Breeze has recently added a bit more they felt was missing from Phonograph record: [19] Do you think all/any of this needs to be sourced, or does it fall within the realm of simply explaining how records work?

Hmm--yeah, I do think some of that stuff needs a source. I don't think they're an L1 English speaker. I don't think I'm familiar with the master; they seem to be of some good will and I wonder what got them blocked. Anyway, Ss112, for anything related to records, you go to the source, to the expert, to the God--I'm talking about 78.26. Yo DJ--spin that wheel!

Cryin' shame, this editor generally knows what they're talking about. Why sockpuppet? What a waste. The changes were to the lede, which is supposed to summarize important points in the article body, and therefore don't usually contain sources. Not all "record players" use electronic amplification, although certainly almost all made after 1940 do, so that statement was technically erroneous. The x/y-axis description of stereo reproduction is too detailed for the lede. I like the statement which contrasted the selling points of cylinders vs. discs, but that deserves further (sourced) explanation in the article body, and again doesn't really belong in the lede. In sum this was a good revert, sockpuppet or no sockpuppet.
Drmies' description of my knowledge base will stroke my ego for months to come, but when reality sets in I'll need to recognize several people I know who, regarding vintage phonographs and recordings, leave me an utter ignoramus by comparison. 78.26(spin me / revolutions)16:37, 2 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-02T16:37:00.000Z","author":"78.26","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-78.26-2018-08-02T16:37:00.000Z-Drmies-2018-08-02T01:35:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-08-02T17:14:00.000Z-78.26-2018-08-02T16:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

Gerda, look at the other edits. They're not picking specific topics. Widr, perhaps you recall that bot a few months ago that jumped from one ghost IP to another, making as many vandalism edits as possible, mostly on random targets that were edited just before. Beeblebrox, the earlier ones didn't stick in a file; they just reverted recently made changes, as far as I remember, though they may have stuck something in as well.

Clearly, neither you nor the programmers at eBay have ever been to Alabama, where I will -coincidentally- be travelling next week. It's called "Bama" and it's indecipherable to anyone who isn't possessed of a farmer's tan or a homemade still.

Xanthomelanoussprog, one of my linguistics students this summer wrote about that language--I'm grading those papers this weekend. User:MPants at work, drop me a line if you get close to the Heart of Dixie, by which I mean the capital. I can show you where to get the best hamburger in town, and everyone should see The National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Also, there's only one "Locomotive Breath", and that's this one. Seriously, let me know. There's a lot to see in Montgomery. You too, PackME. But if all y'all need jams, there's this, which apparently is homegrown.

Thank for the extra ;) - You are missing that - as a DYK veteran, I can make a thing look well-referenced by having sourced statements at the end of paras.

Instead of OR, it could also be that the Dutch author confused two pieces, the Nigar and the Golliwogg's Cake-Walk, look at this.

Given the tide of racist and conspiratorial nonsense that has been flowing in the past few days, along with editors trying to argue with a straight face that the Proud Boys are center-right (you know, like the Chamber of Commerce, only with violence, or maybe grumpy Rotarians), my patience for this stuff is scarce.

The logs that Tornado chaser signaled (I removed that while it was being worked on, per Streisand effect) were even worse than the edits. Plus, I just blocked another editor, edit-warring over a BLP, and another, and then placed an AE block (a short one) on an editor who edited an article on a racist segregationist to make him "extreme left wing", and inserted racist information based on unreliable sources. They are truly coming out of the woodwork; one wonders how the off-site coordination is, with flash courses on how to game the system. It's GamerGate 2.0, in part.

That's odd, considering what the article said: "Iolanda won the title Miss Egypt 1954 and automatically became the representative of Egypt on Miss World 1955 in London". Ah, now I see it: buried in the middle of the next paragraph, hidden beneath chit-chat about contracts and hesitations, it says "Eventually, Egypt didn't even attend Miss World 1955".

What's the name of that awful present tense some of the article's written in? Last time I am reading a big wodge of that is in a book by Dan Cruikshank- "I'm floating down the canal in a gondola, looking up at the Rialto bridge".

You're doing well- I think the tense might be 'simple present passive'. Whatever it is, Cruikshank's book was rendered unreadable by his two subeditors (unless he actually writes like that).

On a bulletin board I was a regular on about 25 years ago, the term "shark" meant "go to a pub and chat up women" (broadly construed). So based on that, I've got a different definition for "shark week".

Hey Alex--I think everything will have to wait for that one discussion to close. No admin will do this in response to an edit request as long as the discussion is ongoing. As far as I'm concerned there is a consensus for one thing, but like SarekOfVulcan, it's my own thing also so I can't act on it. I don't know if there's been more comments since BullRangifer's last remark, but the moment there are, and the moment there appears to be a strong consensus (again, I'm convinced that what Sarek and I and others propose will win the field simply because it makes the most sense and is consistent with policy), an admin can close it. What you can do to speed this along is place a note on WP:AN and ask for an admin to come by and have a look at it, or to implement the consensus as you see it (which is apparently how Sarek, I, and others see it).

Hello,
You are receiving this message because you are a top user of Special:Block on this wiki. Thank you for the important work that you do. There is a discussion happening about plans to improve Special:Block with the ability to set new types of blocks. To get the best design and new functions added, it is essential that administrators who use the tool join the discussion and share their opinions about these changes.
Instead of a full site wide block, administrators would be able to set a Partial Block. A user could be blocked from a single page, multiple pages, one or more namespaces, from uploading files, etc. There are several different ways to add this feature to Special:Block. Right now Important decisions are being made about the design and function.
Please review the page on Meta and share your feedback on the discussion page. Or you can reach me by email Also, share this message with anyone else who might be interested in participating in the discussion.
I appreciate any time that you can give to assist with making improvements to this feature.

Hi Dr. The spam dinner hit the spot. Now i'm having a pre-bed Perla Mocha. A great beer! Before I crash, can you remember the name of a very interesting Dutch-Jewish chap's article that we worked on together about 18 months ago? For the life of me I can't remember his name, although it was a fascinating story. I just wonder if it can be improved further, maybe to GA. I recall it was a pleasure working with you on that, although you did most of the heavy lifting in translation sources etc. Irondome (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-10T02:24:00.000Z","author":"Irondome","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Irondome-2018-08-10T02:24:00.000Z-A_Dutch-Jewish_gentleman's_article_we_co-operated_on","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-08-10T02:32:00.000Z-Irondome-2018-08-10T02:24:00.000Z"]}}-->
Hmm. I worked on a few articles about gay and gay Jewish victims of Nazi persecution in WW2--does that sound familiar? Can you give me an idea of the historical era? Hmm--the Polish Perla? I remember coining the word "pivoteren" (in Dutch, of course) while in Chzech. Or perhaps it was in the last year that it was still two countries for the price (and currency) of one, haha!

Browary Lubelskie that's the brew origin. Get the trivial stuff out the way first!. Unsure about the gay aspect, although it might have been a point. This fellow I think was a journalist and co-produced publications in the Netherlands prior to the occupation and post-war, was a pre-war Zionist. He was very aware of the existential danger to European Jewry as far back as 33, and warned in his writings and to German Jewish friends. He had a German Jewish friend who was murdered by the Nazis I think as early as 1934 and this hugely alerted him. He was shocked by the attitude of his German-Jewish friends in that they were in no physical danger. I think he went to an extermination camp and survived. Something about teaching in the camp? After the war made Aliya to Israel but returned. He was strongly philosophical, and his experiences made him question the existence of God. Holocaust theology I recall came into it. I think he may have moved back to the Netherlands. It was a fascinating story.

Well sure, and he deserves it. Now, the problem of course is that all the sourcing will be in Dutch, though there might be some in Hebrew, and there's a few notes (of the "World Lit" kind, I believe) in English. I believe that Dutch digital library has a ton of material. So there are challenges, but it's already a moderately decent article, so sure. Yeah, we can get on that.

I managed to find only a single article from Yisrael HaYom in Hebrew about Herzberg. Not a big fan of that newspaper, but the author of that article writes to all kinds of newspapers, so it seems fine. Here's the article. I don't know if I'll find time to work on that. I am currently in Squad leader course, which gives me only two days of vacation every week, and the first day begins at 4 A.M. because of the long ride from Eilat to my home in Tel Aviv, so my patience is very low on Friday, and Saturday is preserved mostly for friends and family.--Bolter21(talk to me)12:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-10T12:23:00.000Z","author":"Bolter21","type":"comment","level":9,"id":"c-Bolter21-2018-08-10T12:23:00.000Z-Irondome-2018-08-10T03:08:00.000Z","replies":["c-Drmies-2018-08-10T14:42:00.000Z-Bolter21-2018-08-10T12:23:00.000Z"]}}-->

Long story Dr :) All my mothers side hailed from a vast swathe of central Europe, the Austro-hungarian empire and I suppose what is now Poland, and even bits of former Russia. But we got the hell out en-masse in the late 19th century and ended up in the U.K and the U.S and I think we have branches of the family in Australia, S.A. and Israel. I like to think we didn't leave anyone behind before 39. I think of that a lot. I'm an Adler, and I think some of us made good in the arts in the U.S. I just drink Polish beer a lot. Quality stuff. Oranjeboom Brewery export 8.5% is also starting to turn up a lot in London and that is an awesome brew too. I met Bolter (Stav) on here. A straight-talking guy who has done great work.

An arbitration case regarding German war effort articles has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
Cinderella157 is topic banned from the history of Germany from 1932 to 1945, broadly construed. This topic ban may be appealed after six months have elapsed and every six months thereafter.
Auntieruth55 is reminded that project coordinators have no special roles in a content dispute, and that featured articles are not immune to sourcing problems.
Editors are reminded that consensus-building is key to the purpose and development of Wikipedia. The most reliable sources should be used instead of questionable sourcing whenever possible, especially when dealing with sensitive topics. Long-term disagreement over local consensus in a topic area should be resolved through soliciting comments from the wider community, instead of being re-litigated persistently at the local level.
While certain specific user-conduct issues have been identified in this decision, for the most part the underlying issue is a content dispute as to how, for example, the military records of World War II-era German military officers can be presented to the same extent as military records of officers from other periods, while placing their records and actions in the appropriate overall historical context. For better or worse, the Arbitration Committee is neither authorized nor qualified to resolve this content dispute, beyond enforcing general precepts such as those requiring reliable sourcing, due weighting, and avoidance of personal attacks. Nor does Wikipedia have any other editorial body authorized to dictate precisely how the articles should read outside the ordinary editing process. Knowledgeable editors who have not previously been involved in these disputes are urged to participate in helping to resolve them.

Once you've reached a conclusion about someone or something, it's a judgment (see def #2 in the dictionary), and while, technically, you may not be sitting as a judge, you are sitting in a position of influence, so when you attempt to persuade others to draw the same conclusion as your own, you are passing judgment - be it right or wrong. Have a wonderful day.

Well thanks for the lesson. So all those other editors were passing judgment too, and the Arbs are like metajudges.

#2: "The fact of possessing this ability ["The ability to make considered decisions or to arrive at reasonable conclusions or opinions on the basis of the available information; the critical faculty; discernment, discrimination."] to a high degree or in a sophisticated form; discretion, good sense, wisdom." OK, that I'll take that.

Excellent example of cherrypicking a RS (out of about 349,000,000 possibilities) because it agrees with your POV. 😂 Yes, Drmies, it's called passing judgment. What did you think you were doing? You were sitting in judgment of someone you don't really know. The arbs take all those judgments into consideration, form their own conclusions, and hand down a final judgment as you well know. Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." Now throw in the Golden Rule and that's what I consider a high degree of good sense and wisdom because it's based on fundamental principles that have withstood the test of time. You do realize that I'm older than you, right? I'm at that point in life where I've stopped lying about my age and started bragging about it. Class dismissed. 😊 Atsme📞📧04:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-08-11T04:45:00.000Z","author":"Atsme","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Atsme-2018-08-11T04:45:00.000Z-Drmies-2018-08-10T22:39:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

(talk page watcher) In no source you have cited is there support for your statement that The principal feature of antifa groups is their acts of domestic terrorism. As you cannot source that claim, it cannot be included in Wikipedia.

NBSB, sometimes I get tired of the gaslighting, and I love being reminded of policy by someone with 68 article edits, all of which are...well, we know that they are. Prepper, I invite scrutiny; you may argue your case at ANI. But if you're so well-versed in policy, can you verse yourself in formatting too? And I don't mean just the inept ref tags, the bare URL, the reference in the wrong place, but also this line spacing. And if you want me to look up what a bully I am, dude put some wikilink brackets around it...

Ooooh SDSU-Prepper, that's right--this is how you got started here. Your ridiculous claims (about the segregationist's "radical left-wing ideas") are never verified in the article, and like Faubus's opponents you're engaged in "efforts to paint the candidate as a communist sympathizer"--because he went to that one school. Guess what. I work for Auburn and I'm still a Tide fan. Besides, the prose that you inserted in the lede there is awful--"As a result of Faubus, there was undue stress regarding their integration....the truth eventually prevailed about Faubus and desegregation won. After the 1965 Voting Act, which made it easier for African Americans to vote, Faubus political career came to an end." It is understandable that early edits on Wikipedia often fail to recognize that this is not Freshman Comp, and that we're not writing argumentative essays here, but I do wonder if you can get away from argumentative editorializing. MrDemeanour, I appreciate your good work, but this just needs to be reverted.

Agreed. I'm new to the subject and to the article; I didn't want to blow away a big chunk of the article.
I see that Prepper has now been perma-banned. WP:NOTHERE seems to apply. He also seems to be pretty short on clues about both politics and US history.
