::::::It's nothing to do with sections. ] says {{tq|Legobot will copy the markup of your statement (from the end of the {{tl|rfc}} tag through the first timestamp) to the list of active RfCs}}. Note that this says ''timestamp'', not signature, and in {{diff|Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147147849|this edit}} we find that it copied up to and including the "13:01, 25 September 2050 (UTC)", even though it is clearly a bogus timestamp and the preceding signature used a fake username. Quite apart from the fact that bogus timestamps can cause problems for Legobot further down the line, a major problem is that having the line beginning "Support Option A" included in the RfC listings has given the impression that a real opinion was part of the RfC statement, which goes against {{tq|Keep the RfC statement (and heading) neutrally worded}}. My edit placed a real signature and a correct timestamp (copied from further down the page) before those non-neutral items, with {{diff|Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147250783|this effect}}; but my effort was nullified by {{diff|Talk:Scott Adams|prev|1147374339|this edit}}, with {{diff|Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147376059|this effect}}.

Hi NickCT. I notice you followed up to my reply on Jimbo's talk page. I'm not going to reply there, for a few reasons. Firstly, I appear to be unable to explain to anyone's satisfaction why trying to weaken an editor's argument by speculating on their religious bias is an extremely toxic thing for the project. Fair enough, perhaps my language skills aren't sufficient to make my point, so there's probably little benefit to me trying. If someone doesn't ''get'' why "you're probably just supporting this because you're a Jew" is a personal attack, probably no amount of hypothetical dialogue about Methodists is going to change that. You either believe in ], or you don't.


== Feedback request: Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines request for comment ==
Secondly, Jimbo doesn't care. ARBCOM is in the process of accepting the case involving Noleander and the "Jews and..." articles, so he's certainly not going to step on their toes and start sanctioning editors while they're deliberating on this whole mess. Any continued discussion on his talk page would largely be for the benefit of other people reading, and I don't feel a particular need to spend time entertaining them.

If you sincerely don't understand my perspective, then I'll be willing to try to explain it a couple more times as best I can on your talk page or mine. But if you do understand it and think it's stupid or "naive", then we're probably just going to have to agree to disagree. ] (]) 14:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


== Feedback request: Politics, government, and law request for comment ==
:@] - Hey. Thanks for your response. Few points.
:1) I think it's appropriate that you reply here. Jimbo's talk page is probably not the best place to be having this discussion.
:2) I'd agree with you that "you're probably just supporting this because you're a Jew" could probably be considered a "disgusting" personal attack. On the other hand though, saying "you're probably approaching this subject from a Jewish perspective, which may not be entirely neutral given the subject matter at hand" might be a valid criticism (we'll abandon the hypothetical dialogoue here that could substitute in "American perspective" or "Methodist perspective"). There are probably a lot of grey areas in-between those two comments.
:3) I don't think your perspective is "stupid". What you're doing is good. Being on guard against bigotry is good. I just think we should be cautious assuming peoples' comments are "disgusting"/bigoted, when really they might simply be asking the question "Hey! Given your background, are you in a position to discuss this neutrally?".
:4) ] - I appreciate the spirit of the policy, but I really don't think questioning another editor's perspective (so long as it's done respectfully) is really a personal attack.
:5) On another note, I haven't really been following the whole ] debate, but having interacted with this editor before my impression is that he's always been fairly cordial and that he doesn't engage in the traditional aggressive editing tactics common to the whole Israel-Palestine field. I've just cast my eye over ], which as far as I can tell is what initiated the controversy. My initial impression is that it seems somewhat ] and unencylopedic. I understand your sentiment re POV ], and it doesn't surprise me that many would share it; however, I really don't think this was Noleander's intent...
:6) Thanks for the conversation! ] (]) 15:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

::Thanks for your reply, and your civil tone throughout. I'm definitely going to have to disagree with you on #4. "Jewishness" is a bit of an edge case in that both ethnicity and religion are involved. You don't seem to have a problem with the editors' religion being brought up; would you feel differently it was solely their ethnicity? For example, if an editor came to AN/I and pointed out a newly created article that was basically an attack page against black people, and someone else came along later and said "sure are a lot of black people commenting. Wonder if that makes them biased?" If that wouldn't bother you... well, I guess I'm out of analogies to offer. The assumption that Jews would naturally react in a knee-jerk fashion against an editor accused of anti-Semitic edits – rather than the AGF assumption that they might better understand what is and is not truly anti-Semitic, presumably having some experience dealing with it – is another problem I have with the "sure are a lot of Jews commenting here" comment. ] (]) 17:24, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
:::re ''"would you feel differently it was solely their ethnicity?"'' - An interesting point. Perhaps I would. Somehow saying "You only feel that way b/c you're Asian" strikes me as a bit more offensive than "You only feel that way b/c you're Mormom".... but then again, perhaps that's only b/c we're more sensitive to racial intolerance than religious intolerance? I mean, I'm guessing the average African American POV regarding the civil rights movement varies from the norm in the same way that a Protestant's POV regarding the reformation might vary. Are religion and race really all that different in the end? They both seem like quasi-abstract classifications into which we group ourselves and others....
:::re ''""Jewishness" is a bit of an edge case in that both ethnicity and religion are involved"'' - True. It's probably worth noting that people tend to use the word interchangeably. It's difficult to know if someone really means it in a racial or religious sense. Frankly, this is a topic that still confuses me. Ethnicity and religion are different. If someone is introduced to me as Jewish, do I first assume they mean ethnically or religiously? Personally, I've always thought of it as religious first, then ethnic, but there are those who seem to think the opposite.
:::Anyways, I don't think our POVs are different enough to warrant extended discussion. I'd agree it's not polite or appropriate or in the best spirit of ] to say something like "You guys are only saying that b/c you're Jews", but at the same time, we probably shouldn't automatically assume that someone saying that is a racist/bigot. ] (]) 18:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

==My analysis of mathsci's example==
Noleanderøs text:
''Marvin Perry states that the Talmud deviates widely from the early Christian approach to money: whereas the New Testament viewed money and profit as "filthy lucre" (1 Tim 3:3), the Talmud took a positive view of money and profit because the Talmud "was written, compiled and edited, taught and interpreted for centuries by rabbis who were merchants, artisans, and professional men, knowledgeable and accepting of business and finance, in theory and practice."''
:Sourced to this text (the underlines text has been left out in Noleander's summary):
''More fundamental than language and other customs in shaping Jewish attitudes and practice was the Talmud. It takes a positive stance with regard to economic activity, in sharp contrast with the New Testament and Patristic theologians who were vigilant against, as they thought it to be, filthy lucre and serving Mammon, and thus incorporated a strong, mystical, antiworldly, antieconomic strain in Christian theology and ethics. The Talmud by contrast was written, compiled and edited, taught and interpreted for centuries by rabbis who were merchants, artisans and professional men, knowledgeable and accepting of business and finance, in theory and practice. They were family men, and some of them earned their living as merchants and the like, <u>so as to serve the community without pay</u>. It <u>may be</u> that Judaism's affirmative outlook on the world—''Weltbejabung'', what Weber called being "accomodated to the world"—made Jews <u>more rational, less mystical, and more focused on life</u>, and thus more likely to engage and be successful in economic activities ''<u>in some degree</u>''. Also the Talmud, intricate in structure and intellectually demanding as it is, may have taught Jews to be logical, analytical, and rational ''in some degree''. <u>More significantly, however, in Talmud and Bible alike, getting and spending are far from being the primary or ideal purpose of life. Learning and wisdom were the jewels without price, which meant that Jews were literate and educated in civilizations where historically these assets for economic doings were rare.</u> ''
By leaving out the underllined text and changing minor wordings such as:
::"economic activity" > "money and profit"
::"New Testament and Patristic theologians" > "christians"
Noleander manages to make Perry make the opposite argument of the one he was actually making, namely that the while certain social aspects of Jewish life may have made Judaic theology less biased against economic activity it is in fact the case that the Talmud and Bible both value knowledge and spirituality highly - and that this value of literacy required Jews to have skills that could make them especially succesful. Noleander in contrast makes Perry say that the Talmud and Bible are signinficantly different, that judaic theology is different from all christian theology and not just early Patristic theology. That this interpretation of Perry is correct becomes clear when compared with this sentence later on in the book: "'' Expectedly, Sombart simplifies matters terribly, reducing the Bible and Talmud to philistine justifications for money-grubbing. God and man are linked by a "businesslike connection" in which each person's deeds of good and evil are reckoned up in "a complicate system of bookkeeping," the one rewarded as profit, the other punished as loss. Many historians have demonstrated that such expositions as Sombart indulges in here are more stereotype and caricature than analysis; according to the modern scholar Ellis Rivkin, "The notion that Jews let loose capitalism is one of those persistent myths that grow with exposure.''" Noleander has in effect turned Perry's balanced and neutrally worded account into Sombart's caricature that he was trying to refute. ] 19:32, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
:Ok. Well look, for the sake of simplicity, let me paraphrase what I see as the main difference between Noleander's wording versus the text.
:''Noleander'' - "The Talmud deviates widely from the early Christian approach to money, in that the Talmud takes a positive view of money and profit."
:''Text'' - "The Talmud deviates widely from the early Christian approach to money, in that the Talmud takes a positive view of money and profit, but both note that getting and spending are far from being the primary or ideal purpose of life".
:Does this seem like a fair paraphrasing of the two?
:Frankly, the only difference I really see between the wordings is one of subtle tone. I'd agree that original text perhaps has a more positive tone to it, but I don't think Noleander's version really tries convey the "opposite" meaning.
:I think if we were making even a minor effort to assume good faith here, and giving Noleander the benefit-of-the-doubt, we'd just assume that this was an accidental and perhaps non-notable omission of content from the reference that slightly changed the tone of the material.
:You'd really have to be vindictive to call this "clear" evidence of intent to distort references. ] (]) 19:52, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
:I don't have an opinion about intent or an agenda to paint Noleander as an antisemite (nor for that matter anything to be vindictive about - I have never interacted with Noleander). I don't care about that. What I see is a pattern of very careless editing in a very sensitive topic area. I personally don't think wikipedia has anything to loose by letting Noleander edit in an area that is less sensitive and where failure to understand and correctly represent sources have less negative consequences.

::Maunus - I might partly agree with your "careless editing in a very sensitive topic" comment.

Additionally, I think WP is crammed full of sensitive topics, no? That's part of what makes it fun....

I've reverted your edit on ] that labels him as a "missing person." If Western news outlets have not seen you in some time because you got fired, that doesn't make you a missing person. You are obviously trying to push a certain agenda here ("Oh, look China disappeared someone again"), and reading your profile pretty much confirmed it. I urge you to practice restraint. Instead of liberally reading BBC articles that amount to "We don't have a clear window into Chinese internal politics" and twisting into "The former MFA is a MISSING PERSON!!!", wait.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
== sock accusations distracting from merit of points made ==


Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
*adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
*comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
*follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
*comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
*refrain from gaming the system.

Point taken.
I will if, I decide to post further.
In a perfect world people's comments should be judged based on the merits
of the content of the comments, but I suppose that Misplaced Pages would be all the
more chaotic if no one registered, because I do recognize the problem of agenda
drive people hiding behind anonimity. Ironically a big part of my motivation
to jump into this particular entry was the obviousness of (Registered User) Mindbunny's
agenda (see my last comment that prompted you to scold me).
But, as I learned yesterday, when I was falsely accused of being a sock of two
other posters, posting anonymously just gave Mindbunny the opportunity to "respond"
with an adhominen instead of addressing my points.

I've been watching on the sidelines for the last two days (sorry, haven't gotten around to registering yet), and
I think that though "giving the benefit of the doubt" is a noble plan of action for civilized people, sometimes
there becomes less and less "doubt" about what someones motivation is. And in that case, giving the benefit of the doubt
crosses over that fine ill-defined line into giving benefit, when there is no doubt.
For example, in this case, though neutral people focus on the brutal and sexual nature of the assault, people on the
"Israeli side" want to highlight the fact that shouting "Israeli" and "Jew" made the mob intensify the attack, and people
on the "anti-Israeli" side, not only want to purge any anti-Israeli nature of the description of this dispicable mob,
but even others without an agenda are buying into the "it must be policies of Israel if anything, and not classic antisemitism".
But the fact is, it wasn't just "Israeli". It was "Jew", that intensified the attack.
Note how even in Talk comments, Mindbunny religiously refers to the question of including "Israeli" or not, whereas
everyone else refers to what it is: including "Israeli, Jew" or not. Even in his Talk comments he wants to purge any
notice of the existance of antisemitism.
One general thought: I think that a(n ideal) good judge is one who a guilty person would fear and an innocent person would want,
not one who, ANY defendant would want. I.E. one who goes too far in giving the benefit of the doubt.
And one thought specific to this case:
I think that anyone who feels that, for example, someone walking around Tarir Square in Cairo with a yarmulka on their
head would very likely get the crap beaten out of him, for being a Jew, would probably be a little redeemed by the
fact that 10 million people who would not have otherwise believed them would now, thanks to what tragically happened
to Lara Logan, and they would be incredulous at the efforts of Mindbunny here. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 02:42, 9 May 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

With all due respect. First, thou should not threaten fellow user (per Wiki rules).

I understand seeking neutrality, but in this case you seem to think that you know better than a RS.

Signature: Scott Adams RfC

You did not sign your statement for the Scott Adams RfC. It is required, so please do so. You can see Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies for examples in other RfC's. Also, another editor corrected your spelling of "controversial" in the statement, which you spelled "contraversial". Thank you. Stoarm (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

@Stoarm: - Thanks for the suggestion and the spelling note. I guess I've gotta fess to the typo, as it's a little hard to controdict.
I think the RfC is OK as the bot seemed to list it correctly despite my not signing. NickCT (talk) 01:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Your signature is required. The only reason the bot listed it is because you used fictitious signatures as examples in the part that outlines how responses are to be formatted. Are you going to sign the statement? Stoarm (talk) 13:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Required by? I'll consider signing it. I'm not sure exactly what the value would be. Is your concern that RfC isn't neutrally worded or something? NickCT (talk) 13:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
It doesn't matter what the value is. It's required. I'm not sure why you're making such a basic issue so difficult. You are a long-time editor and I'm sure know when signatures are and are not required. I provided WP:SIG, which I'd have to assume you're very familiar with already. Are you claiming some sort of exemption from this requirement? It's your RfC and so you should obviously sign it, just as all other editors do in their RfCs. Are you going to sign it? Stoarm (talk) 14:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
I am long time editor. I've done dozen of RfCs. Signed few of them. This is first time anyone has complained. Seems like a you thing. NickCT (talk) 14:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
No, it's a requirement thing. And apparently the administrator who signed it for you agrees. If you've done dozens of them but have only signed a few of them, that's wrong. You should sign all of them, just like it's done in all the other RfCs. Your uncivil and uncooperative behavior over such a basic issue is disappointing. It's a shame that it took an administrator to correct what you refused to do. Yes, you're a long time editor; so you should know better and do better. Stoarm (talk) 14:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
When did I refuse to do it? I said I was considering it. You're either intentionally mischaracterizing or having trouble reading.
RedRose seemed to think it's important for neutrality. Since I've asked you whether you felt the RfC was neutral and you didn't respond, I can only assume you disagree. So again, what do you feel the benefit is?
You don't think it's a little goofy that you were trying to make a point about how important it was to sign, when it was in fact, already signed? If it was really that important, wouldn't you have recognized? NickCT (talk) 16:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
Update: The issue is now moot. I just noticed that an administrator appropriately signed for you since you failed to do so. You can also see that their edit summary says you violated WP:RFCNEUTRAL by making yours the first !vote. In the future, I hope you will follow the requirement to sign any RfCs that you initiate. I was trying to be nice by asking you (multiple times) to please sign it, rather than making it a noticeboard issue for an admin to handle. Stoarm (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
I see that. Acutally I think the sig was in the wrong place. @Redrose64: - For the record, I try to make a really clear distinction between the neutrally phrased RfC and my non-neutral position on the RfC by separating them into different sections.
Out of curiousity, does anyone feel like I actually phrased this RfC non-neutrally, or are we arguing about angels on the head of a pin? If you feel like I was being non-neutral in posing the question, I'm happy to consider that. NickCT (talk) 14:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
It's nothing to do with sections. WP:RFCNEUTRAL says Legobot will copy the markup of your statement (from the end of the {{rfc}} tag through the first timestamp) to the list of active RfCs. Note that this says timestamp, not signature, and in this edit we find that it copied up to and including the "13:01, 25 September 2050 (UTC)", even though it is clearly a bogus timestamp and the preceding signature used a fake username. Quite apart from the fact that bogus timestamps can cause problems for Legobot further down the line, a major problem is that having the line beginning "Support Option A" included in the RfC listings has given the impression that a real opinion was part of the RfC statement, which goes against Keep the RfC statement (and heading) neutrally worded. My edit placed a real signature and a correct timestamp (copied from further down the page) before those non-neutral items, with this effect; but my effort was nullified by this edit, with this effect.
In making this edit, Floquenbeam (talk · contribs) has not helped matters by dropping their own sig into the middle of the statement, with this effect. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
@Redrose64: - Mea culpa. I messed up the bot. I hope we can all appreciate the "fake" usernames/timestamps were not an attempt to decieve anyone. I've tried to correct it. NickCT (talk) 00:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

April 2023

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Stoarm (talk) 20:39, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey guys. This conversation seemed to disappear before I got a chance to see it, so I'm responding here.
Geez..... I try to tell someone they're good at something and this is what I get.
@Ad Orientem: - I'm not sure if you want to come down from the ivory tower that is ANI, but this debate could be quickly resolved by simply closing Talk:Scott_Adams#RfC_:_Use_"racist"_in_Wikipedia's_voice?. A certain editor seems to be having trouble letting go of language that this RfC has shown is not right. NickCT (talk) 13:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
I've posted a link to the RfC at BLPN. If the general trajectory of the discussion doesn't change over the next few days, I will consider closing it. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
On a side note... Geez..... I try to tell someone they're good at something and this is what I get.
Tread carefully with the snark. My note at ANI was intended as a friendly word of caution. But being blunt, some of your past commentary has had an abrasive edge to it that is not conducive to cordial debate. I would strongly prefer not to have to address this subject again. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:42, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
I don't start the fires Ad. And I certainly don't go whining about other's disruptive behaviors.
I appreciate your helping with the RfC, b/c many others wouldn't have bothered, but you are pandering to bad behavior. NickCT (talk) 19:47, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
If you have specific concerns about other editors, you are free to raise those in the appropriate forum. The subject here are your biting comments directed at/about another editor. And they are to stop. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm not going to raise them. I'm going to fix them. As I sought to end edit warring w/ this RfC. Let's finish up the RfC. We can eliminate the language I sought to eliminate a month ago and we can end the wikidrama. NickCT (talk) 20:00, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop the slow edit war at Scott Adams

It's being discussed in the RFC right now, so please stop edit warring and let it sit at the WP:WRONGVERSION until it's closed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:19, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

@ScottishFinnishRadish: - Fine. I do think there's some level of perversity in us all looking at something, all agreeing it's wrong, then saying "let it be". If it's wrong, why not fix it? NickCT (talk) 17:35, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Because someone reverted what you saw as the fix. No reason to go back and forth with the edit while there is an ongoing discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
The RfC is basically down to choice between the current language and two possible alternatives. No one, not even its initial proponent, supports the current language. Beyond making a point, why not just change it now? NickCT (talk) 18:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Because someone objected, and edit warring isn't the way to handle it. As it's already being discussed it can be left at the WP:WRONGVERSION until a consensus emerges. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:56, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
I guess we can allow a minority opinion to filibuster the process. NickCT (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Edit warring is a no no. It's not complicated. There are a few exceptions (vandalism, copyright violations and serious BLP stuff) but that's it. It doesn't matter if you like them or not. Themz the rules until they aren't. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Be more responsible

I've reverted your edit on Qin Gang that labels him as a "missing person." If Western news outlets have not seen you in some time because you got fired, that doesn't make you a missing person. You are obviously trying to push a certain agenda here ("Oh, look China disappeared someone again"), and reading your profile pretty much confirmed it. I urge you to practice restraint. Instead of liberally reading BBC articles that amount to "We don't have a clear window into Chinese internal politics" and twisting into "The former MFA is a MISSING PERSON!!!", wait. Do not make grand conclusions and try to pass them off as fact. That is for your Twitter, not an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5 (talk) 13:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello IP. Thanks for the comment.
The addition you reverted wasn't actually something that I'd put in.
That said, I'm pretty sure "China disappeared someone again" is a fairly accurate description of what's happened. What's the alternative viewpoint? NickCT (talk) 14:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
What is more likely is that Xi has been seeking to replace him for a few weeks, so he took Qin out of the public eye while he was looking for a replacement (who is now Wang Yi again).
Firing someone from the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs (or any important role) is not a split decision that gets made in one day. This happens in the West too. When someone is going to get fired, they're relieved of their duties for a couple weeks and then officially let go. For example, in the weeks leading up to the firing of Rex Tillerson and John Bolton, there were articles about them not being invited to meetings anymore.
Now, as to why he hasn't been seen, that's just not really the content that Chinese news media does. They don't get former cabinet members to disgruntled analyses of the administration in which they served like they do in the West. 2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5 (talk) 16:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the thoughts. If you're equating not getting invited to meetings to being disappeared, I'm not sure we're going to find much common ground. NickCT (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Misplaced Pages’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Misplaced Pages administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Misplaced Pages;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Deeply concerned about your disdain for BLP

I am deeply concerned from your comments at Talk:Fu Xiaotian like that you appear to have a disdain for WP:BLP that is completely inappropriate for an editor of your experience. You really should know by now that BLP issues are serious. and it is not forum shopping to raised BLP issues at WP:BLP/N if you feel the response you are getting to BLP concerns is not adequate. That is a key purpose of having the noticeboard. I strongly suggest you re-read BLP and quickly learn the seriousness of BLP policy. If you continue to have such an utterly unacceptable disdain for BLP after that, then you need to seriously voluntarily refraining from editing considering all situations where BLP applies or at least direct article editing. If you fail to do that and instead continue to ignore BLP concerns or treat them as unimportant, don't be surprised if you receive a BLP topic ban. Nil Einne (talk) 03:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

@Nil Einne: - Disdain for BLP? I have every dain for BLP. BLP is the only thing that protects us from trolls harming the reputation of innocent subjects w/ shoddy research and rumor mongering. BLP is about protecting people.
Have you considered that the folks on the other side of this argument are using BLP as an excuse to harm people? Let me ask you this; if you got snatched by a foreign govnernment, would you want your Misplaced Pages article to note that? Or would you want it to use somekind of euphimism? NickCT (talk) 11:47, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement warning for BLP violations

Hi, NickCT. After reviewing the situation regarding Fu Xiaotian (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Qin Gang (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), I am issuing you the following logged warning under the contentious topic procedures for the BLP topic area, in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator and informed by comments of other experienced editors at WP:BLPN and WP:AN/I:

You are warned for repeatedly restoring challenged content to two BLPs, without support from reliable sources but rather based on your own interpretation. Further restoration of challenged content to BLPs may lead to a topic ban from BLPs related to the Chinese Communist Party or from BLPs in general, or other appropriate sanctions, without further warning.

-- Tamzin (she|they|xe) 02:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Tamzin: - Thanks for the input and apologies on a delayed response. Obviously this converastion is a little stale now, but for the record;
What's "sourced" is that the Chinese foreign minister fell out of favor with the CCP and was erased (NYT) (some use the term "purged" (Gaurdian]) after rumors of an affair with Fu, who has also gone missing (Quartz)(Sidney Morning Herald).
My "interpretation" as you've called it, seems to be that Fu and Qin's disappearance is a "forced disappearance".
I don't accept that calling folks who, after displeasing the CCP, "mysteriously vanish" (RS wording, not mine (USA Today)) "foricibly disappeared" is an "interpretation". I don't accept that that's an "interpretation", in the same sense that I don't accept that calling a person who has been decapitated, "dead", is an interpretation. It's an obvious consequence. Not an interpretation.
I respectfully suggest that anyone who thinks that a person who "mysteriously vanish" in China after displeasing the CCP has vanished voluntarily is probably extraordinarily niave to how things work in China.
Of course, niavity in this case is probably being blended with some CCP apologism and some BLP ultraorthodoxists, who can't accept that the fundamental rationale for BLP was to try to protect people. As we ought to try to protect people who have been "disappeared". NickCT (talk) 15:20, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. However, Misplaced Pages works based on consensus, and as far as I can tell not a single other person has agreed with your interpretation, across two talkpages and two noticeboard threads. Failure to heed consensus, particularly on a BLP, goes from a content issue to a conduct issue, and that's why I issued this warning. If you'd like to appeal the warning, you may follow the procedures at Misplaced Pages:Contentious topics § Appeals and amendments. Absent a successful appeal of that warning, however, what I said above about potential sanctions stands. -- Tamzin (she|they|xe) 18:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
I mean, the edit I was initially defending wasn't my own. So obviously someone agrees with me.
The problem is that one of the editors involved forum shopped at the BLP noticeboard. As much as I like those guys, they are the sort that won't accept a person who was decapitated is also dead, unless you produce a source that explicitly uses the word "dead".

There ain't nothing wrong with being interested in conspiracy theories. I'm interested in them myself. Is there a reason you guys aren't comfortable with your interests? NickCT (talk) 18:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
so then you doubled-down and continued to misuse an article Talk page for a wholly irrelevant purpose. do you think you're clever and nobody notices? soibangla (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. NickCT (talk) 13:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo for bluebird bio.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Logo for bluebird bio.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you bot! It looks like someone uploaded a different version of this logo. I don't oppose deleting the old one. NickCT (talk) 13:18, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

I cackled

Your infobox sidebar is great, and pulled off a class of joke I thought was too inherently corny to be feasible on here. (To be clear, that's not derision of any particular element or the whole. The presentation is just funny as well as enlightening. It's bespoke!) Remsense ‥  18:56, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, I'm glad it entertained someone. It strikes me that pretty much any POV or piece of biographical trivia can easily be communicated with an infobox. NickCT (talk) 19:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
Very rarely do people's bios on the internet—even intelligent people with interesting things to say about such things—make me think "oh, I want to understand the way this person thinks about politics". Remsense ‥  19:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
For the next couple weeks my thinking about politics mostly involves wondering how quickly it will end humanity. Stay safe my friend. NickCT (talk) 20:43, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
