In accordance with the ], you are hereby banned from making any edit or commenting on any content relating to the the men's rights movement, including any issues or people associated with that movement and closely related issues. This topic ban is in place indefinitely, but can be reviewed after three months of productive editing in another topic area. The reason for this restriction is that you have, in my opinion, an unhealthy focus on this topic and it would be in your interests and those of the encyclopaedia for you to broaden your editing interests; the immediate cause is your repeated addition of editorial-style content to encyclopaedia articles, based on novel synthesis of source material. This is as a result of at AE, but note that this restriction is imposed under the community sanctions rather than under Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions. Although there is considerable overlap between the two, the consensus appears to be that the articles on masculinity and the men's rights movement are not within the scope of the gamergate discretionary sanctions (which cover "any gender-related dispute or controversy"), but that controversies relating to them would be. ] &#124; ] 13:17, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

At least there's ''something'' on the page regarding Hersh. I'm honestly surprised, since most of the time all mention of it would have been completely removed. I think the reason is that there's enough secondary coverage of Hersh that that's why the other mods haven't been able to claim wholesale ] and not have it mentioned on the page at all. Nobody is ''mentioning'' the secondary coverage on Hersh, let alone citing the secondary articles saying that "Hersh is bogus," which actually might be a good citation to add; but I think that's what's really going on and that's the reason that no one has outright deleted it from the article entirely. Why do you think it hasn't been removed completely?

I went through a similar experience on the ] page, where I was being denied to even mention that the massive amount of money printing was a cause, despite sourcing Stanford/Johns Hopkins economists and being well-within reputable sources with WSJ/CNBC/Forbes, and I was ''still'' getting reverted. It wasn't until the M2 v. inflation graph was posted that there was suddenly a 180 degree turn, and then all of a sudden my arguments that "Hey, WSJ/CNBC/Forbes are in the ] listing, and Johns Hopkins/Stanford economists are experts" suddenly took hold and I was able to get that single section in there. It's weird from a Misplaced Pages Policy POV, because that graph ''shouldn't'' have been the reason to stop reverting the edits, and I was anticipating someone screaming ] about that graph, but in practice that's how it works sometimes. I think a similar unmentioned psychological phenomena is happening here.

I think this is going to be one of those things that we'll have to wait until the war's end before Hersh's reporting can be cross-verified by a third party, and then we'll finally see some cracks in the dam start to loosen up on this information. Well, my real guess is that the war will end, then there'll be a report released by a Danish investigation team, nobody will report on it and nobody will know about it, and then ''that'' can get added to the article; but by then nobody will care about this article.

Anyways, my 2 cents.] (]) 16:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for the response, I think you are right. There is a lot of emotional editing and tendentious watering down of the stated facts that appears to be going on, to favour a narrative of minimization. I don't really understand this drive, an encyclopedia should preserve all the relevant prominent discourse and let the reader decide. I myself have no idea whether Hersh is lying or being misled either. ] (]) 05:27, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

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.

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.

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations.

Proposed deletion of Willingness to accept

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Willingness to accept, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, apparent original research

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. CultureDrone (talk) 11:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Canadian Federation of Students

Please use the talk page prior to editing the CFS article. While I think I understand your desire to add certain information, your approach is not at all constructive or helpful. 71.7.133.156 (talk) 23:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Please discuss the image on the talk page rather than restoring it again. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 01:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Image problems

Please stop uploading images for which you fail to add the appropriate copyright details, or whose details you don't have. We take copyright status very seriously and the images you uploaded don't have this information, so have been nominated for deletion. While you may have made the screen capture, you did not make the original image and that is what counts, so you cannot own the copyright and these images are most likely copyright of the original cinematographer which is not you. Please don't upload images unless you have the permission of the copyright holder or you produced them yourself and are releasing them under a free licence. You may find it useful to read my image copyright information page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 05:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

LikeALittle

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I have restored the article, so that you can improve it. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:56, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I see you haven't edited the article yet. It was restored because you said you knew of sources that indicate notability, but if you don't edit the article to incorporate that evidence of notability then it will be deleted again. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi James, I added quite a number of sources indicating notability, but it appears that the page has been deleted again. College papers have been used for sources on other pages that I've used. There are also other non-college news sources like the Toronto Star that were sourced. Why was it deleted?Spudst3r (talk) 02:00, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
The coverage seemed rather parochial, and not all that substantial. What exists in other articles is not always a good guide, as there are many articles which don't satisfy Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and which may well be deleted if and when someone notices them and nominates them for deletion. College papers are fine as sources for verification of content, but how useful they are as sources to establish notability is debatable. I think it depends on various circumstances, such as how substantial the coverage is. However, since you have contested the deletion in the above message, I will restore the article. It will still be possible for someone to take it to Articles For Deletion, but if so it is by no means certain that it will be deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:07, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement request

Here. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 15:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Topic ban

In accordance with the men's rights movement community sanctions, you are hereby banned from making any edit or commenting on any content relating to the the men's rights movement, including any issues or people associated with that movement and closely related issues. This topic ban is in place indefinitely, but can be reviewed after three months of productive editing in another topic area. The reason for this restriction is that you have, in my opinion, an unhealthy focus on this topic and it would be in your interests and those of the encyclopaedia for you to broaden your editing interests; the immediate cause is your repeated addition of editorial-style content to encyclopaedia articles, based on novel synthesis of source material. This is as a result of this complaint at AE, but note that this restriction is imposed under the community sanctions rather than under Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions. Although there is considerable overlap between the two, the consensus appears to be that the articles on masculinity and the men's rights movement are not within the scope of the gamergate discretionary sanctions (which cover "any gender-related dispute or controversy"), but that controversies relating to them would be. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:17, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Absolutely unbelievable. "Unhealthy focus"? I wonder if this idea will be fairly applied to all editors exhibiting and "unhealthy focus", or more likely, it will only be applied to those whose opinions do not mesh with the cabal of highly-POV admins/watchdogs? Shame... 70.109.187.181 (talk) 14:11, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: KIC 8462852 (October 14)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved. -- Sam Sailor 20:10, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

Non-free rationale for File:KIC 8462852-kepler transit-data-graph-smaller-frequencies.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:KIC 8462852-kepler transit-data-graph-smaller-frequencies.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Huntster (t @ c) 05:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Spudst3r. The license of the paper is linked to in the "(license)" link under 'Download' - it's arxiv-only. I'll delete the files as they clearly don't have a suitable license for Misplaced Pages.

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 11:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

@Alexbrn: Please do not attribute things I was not doing: I genuinely did not see your surprise revert and was merely updating my original edit, no sneaky edit intended whatsoever. I'm unclear why merely stating the scientific and cited fact that no source has been found yet is objectionable or non-notable.Spudst3r (talk) 11:17, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Logitech G19

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Logitech G19, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

At least there's something on the page regarding Hersh. I'm honestly surprised, since most of the time all mention of it would have been completely removed. I think the reason is that there's enough secondary coverage of Hersh that that's why the other mods haven't been able to claim wholesale WP:NOTRS and not have it mentioned on the page at all. Nobody is mentioning the secondary coverage on Hersh, let alone citing the secondary articles saying that "Hersh is bogus," which actually might be a good citation to add; but I think that's what's really going on and that's the reason that no one has outright deleted it from the article entirely. Why do you think it hasn't been removed completely?

I went through a similar experience on the 2021-2023 inflation surge page, where I was being denied to even mention that the massive amount of money printing was a cause, despite sourcing Stanford/Johns Hopkins economists and being well-within reputable sources with WSJ/CNBC/Forbes, and I was still getting reverted. It wasn't until the M2 v. inflation graph was posted that there was suddenly a 180 degree turn, and then all of a sudden my arguments that "Hey, WSJ/CNBC/Forbes are in the WP:RS listing, and Johns Hopkins/Stanford economists are experts" suddenly took hold and I was able to get that single section in there. It's weird from a Misplaced Pages Policy POV, because that graph shouldn't have been the reason to stop reverting the edits, and I was anticipating someone screaming WP:OR about that graph, but in practice that's how it works sometimes. I think a similar unmentioned psychological phenomena is happening here.

I think this is going to be one of those things that we'll have to wait until the war's end before Hersh's reporting can be cross-verified by a third party, and then we'll finally see some cracks in the dam start to loosen up on this information. Well, my real guess is that the war will end, then there'll be a report released by a Danish investigation team, nobody will report on it and nobody will know about it, and then that can get added to the article; but by then nobody will care about this article.

Anyways, my 2 cents.Fephisto (talk) 16:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, I think you are right. There is a lot of emotional editing and tendentious watering down of the stated facts that appears to be going on, to favour a narrative of minimization. I don't really understand this drive, an encyclopedia should preserve all the relevant prominent discourse and let the reader decide. I myself have no idea whether Hersh is lying or being misled either. Spudst3r (talk) 05:27, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing & stop edit warring

@Spudst3r: You are engaging in disruptive editing & edit warring in both the Nord Stream explosion article page and talk page under the sub-section topic you started titled “Berliner Zeitung as RS” (here )
It’s been explained to you & proven to you that Berliner Zeitung is not a wiki RS (here ) And I know you read that comment about BZ not being listed as a wiki RS because you replied to me and ‘thanked me’ for giving you the list, here . Yet, even after knowing BZ is not a wiki RS you are flagrantly & intentionally ignoring wiki policies WP:NOTRS by repeatedly try to add BZ into the article as a source. That is disruptive editing, verges on edit warring, and does not help improve the article. It’s intentional actions like that which get people topic banned or even permanently banned from wiki. Multiple times it's been explained to you and others , that if you all want to try to get BZ listed as a wiki RS then you must follow wiki rules at WP:RSPMISSING and start an RS/N. , Remember, Wiki is not your blog, WP:NOTCV & WP:NOTWEBHOST so follow wiki guidelines. Best regards~ BetsyRMadison (talk) 03:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

I believe you are projecting here @BetsyRMadison, just a friendly warning that today you were in violation of the 3 revert rule by reverting my changes and those of other editors. I opened that talk section, a discussion was had, and with good reasons given by other editors nobody agreed with your position. Respectfully, you are the one doing edit warring and disruptive editing on that page, while accusing others of it. Spudst3r (talk) 03:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
  • @Spudst3r: sounds like you're also engaging in GAMING & looking for 'loopholes' to intentionally edit in bad-faith. You knew BZ is not an RS when you re-added it. And now you 'warned' me not to undo your edit where you added the BZ citation and say "just a friendly warning that today you were in violation of the 3 revert rule by reverting my changes and those of other editors. You know WP:GAMING & disruptive editing, edit warring, & intentionally ignoring wiki policies can get a person permanently banned.
A "talk page" is not an RS noticeboard. Wiki policy says WP:RSPMISSING says [[tq| "start a discussion about it at the reliable sources noticeboard (RSN)}} (noticeboard, not talk page ) if you want to try to get Berliner Zeitung listed as an RS.
We follow wiki policies. Not yours, not mine, & not others. If you reject this warning and continue to engage in GAMING, disruptive editing, edit wars, and flagrantly disregarding policies you will leave me no choice but to bring up your behavoir disruptive on a noticeboard with Adm. Best regards~ BetsyRMadison (talk) 03:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
@BetsyRMadison please assume good faith, tone down your rhetoric and not personalize the argument. I know we have an editorial disagreement about this but I have actually come to your defence on a previous edit. E.g.: changing "stated" to "accused" was a good one per MOS:ACCUSED. Please try not to view the process as adversarial and let us come to a constructive consensus. Spudst3r (talk) 23:08, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently been editing Eastern Europe or the Balkans which has been designated a contentious topic. 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.
