Hi, I saw you were discussing an SPI in which I and several of my classmates had our edits deleted despite containing quite a bit of sourced information and (hopefully) unbiased material. I was hoping these edits would be restored and it appears that the discussion is leaning towards allowing that to occur. If this is the case, we appreciate it. Also, you asked for editors involved to contact you, so if you have any questions, here I am.] (]) 03:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

*Thanks a lot and I'm sorry for the distraction in your project. Please understand that with Misplaced Pages being the 5th most visited site on earth, articles on politicians can - and indeed have - come under intense real life campaigns to present them a certain way, and while we obviously assume that people are trying to help not harm Misplaced Pages, It is not surprising that a recent changes patroller might be a bit concerned when a flurry of new accounts start editing a similar topic. If you find your uncontroversial edits reverted, the best thing to do is discuss them with who reverted them and/or raise a discussion on the article in question's talk page. Tell your classmates to go to this page so they can read this message, and by all means come to me if you have any further questions. ] (]) 05:22, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

::Comment: The edits by class members were all reverted by Arbor8 on the ground that she thought the class project was a case of sock or meatpuppetry and that therefore all the content—irrespective of whether was biased or neutral, sourced or unsourced—should be removed. This has all been discussed in the sockpuppetry case, and the editor who removed the contributions by the civics class is well aware of what has transpired. I don't really see why further explanation or disclosure of identities of the teacher, the students, or the purpose of the class project should be required. Misplaced Pages is supposed to be an anonymous venue, and the edits were by and large constructive. Although someone may voluntarily disclose their identity or their motives, I have never before seen an attempt to require or encourage such disclosure. --Regards--] (]) 14:01, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

::I should add that I do not think at all that you were mining for additional personal information on the teacher or the class assignment, but from reading the comments on the SPI page, it seems to me that others were. My view on the info is that if it is neutrally phrased, well sourced and pertinent to the politicians' bios, it should be in the bios, and the identity or motives—disclosed or imputed —of those who add factual information to WP is irrelevant. --Regards--] (]) 15:12, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
::: To follow up on the discussion at the SPI, I am inclined to think (in contrast to my views of a couple of days ago) that if the edits are non-disruptive, we might be better not investigating this. I'm keenly aware that it is vital we do not mistreat new contributors like these. (Of course, I say this without prejudice to investigating the accounts with CU if they make disruptive or partisan edits.) Does that sound okay, William? I didn't want to close the investigation or take any action until I'd consulted you, because aside from Mailer you're the only other CU who has commented on the case.<p>KeptSouth, I don't at all think we were "mining for personal information on the teacher", but I do agree it is unreasonable to compel a confirmation of the authenticity of the classroom exercise in the absence of disruptive editing by the accounts.

*If the source is on the blacklist, then it is there for a reason. These edits appear to present a Holocaust denial view, namely that the death toll at Treblinka has been grossly exaggerated, as an acceptable argument.

== Cung Le's Nationality, please view my Talkpage ==
I posted this on The Bushranger's talkpage as well. I am requesting for more editors to look at the current evidence provided and determine a final conclusion, especially since Cyberpower may have not verified his source as compared to the sources I have provided. I am trying to deal with this in a civil manner and would not try to make any personal attacks towards editors nor try to threaten to sue Misplaced Pages, joke or not. However, I am questioning the source of information regarding Cung Le's Nationality given by both the user Glock and even Cyberpower, who said he was handling the matter. As Misplaced Pages requires, a source of information needs to be verified. The source for his nationality given by Cyberpower apparently is a user on Facebook that claims to work for Cung Le and knows specifically which citizenships/passports that he holds. I am asking directly for more administrators to step in and view and verify this source to be legit, as compared to all the sources I have provided including direct tweets and quotes from Cung Le himself and his website. I further ask for the admins to tell Glock to stay away from my Talkpage and other ways of communicating because I find his comments absolutely ridiculous, outrageous, and disruptive, while I am trying to deal with this in a civil, respectful, and reasonable manner. All I ask if for everything to be verified, just like Misplaced Pages requires. I find the co-worker who claims to be Cung Le's co-worker rather suspicious, and evidence must be shown on how he knows the information that is being seeked. If this can not be provided, I ask that Cung Le's Nationality be reverted back to an American of the U.S.A. Please clarify if you can.
This is the Facebook user in question who claims to be working for Cung Le and knows exactly which citizenship he holds: redacted
This is Cung Le's facebook page (redacted) where a user claims to represent Misplaced Pages (Cyberpower?) directly posted on Cung Le's wall and received a response from the user who claims to know specifically what type of citizenship and passport that Cung Le holds. However, he has yet to provide enough evidence that 1) He actually works for Cung Le 2) That he specifically knows that he has a Vietnam passport. To me it is highly suspicious, if this can be proven otherwise and that his claims are legit, I will stop from dispute and no longer further try to research this issue. But again, all I ask is for more admins to take a look at this. No disrespect to you Cyberpower, but I just find the current source from a Facebook user that claims to work for Cung as not enough proof. ] (]) 09:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

If you intend to return to bureaucrat activity, please request restoration of permissions before 1 October 2015 or three years passes since your last bureaucrat activity, whichever is later.


“ Bureaucrats are expected to exercise the duties granted by their role while remaining cognizant of relevant community standards concerning their tasks. In addition to the "Inactive bureaucrat accounts" requirements, if a bureaucrat does not participate in bureaucrat activity for over three years, their bureaucrat permissions may be removed. The user must be notified on their talk page and by email one month before the removal, and again and a few days prior to the removal. If the user does not return to bureaucrat activity, another bureaucrat may request the removal of permissions at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Permissions removed for not meeting bureaucrat activity requirements may be re-obtained through a new request for bureaucratship.
  1. Bureaucrat activity is widely construed and includes acting or commenting as a bureaucrat at any venue including WP:BN/RFA/RFB/RFBAG/BRFA and responding to requests in their capacity as a global renamer or subscriber to the bureaucrats' mailing list or signalling that they remain actively engaged and available for bureacrat tasks.
”

To assist with the implementation of this requirement, please see Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrat activity. Modeled after Misplaced Pages:Inactive administrators and similar to that process, the log page will be created on 1 September 2015. Bureaucrats who have not met the activity requirements as of that date will be notified by email (where possible) and on their talk page to advise of the pending removal.

If the notified user does not return to bureaucrat activity and the permissions are removed, they will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFB. Removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon the affected user in any way.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. –xeno 20:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
