== Noel Rose (a page you deleted in 2006) ==
== Secret Society Deletions ==


Hi Tom, I work in the field of autoimmune disease and went looking for a page on Noel Rose, but noticed a 2006 version had been deleted by you. I expect it was a guideline problem (e.g., a verbatim copy of existing content), but let me know if there was some other reason. I am going to start creating the new page, but if you have issues please let me know. Thank you.
Tom, could you please clarify what is notable vs. what is "non-notable"? You deleted a link to an article I had written regarding a secret society at ], yet you leave untouched several comparable articles with little or no citations or available data. If notable means something that should be a house-hold name, then only 2-3 of the rather lengthy list should be there. Thank you.

== ArbCom 2018 election voter message ==
This is an entry from someone calling themself LogicBiH. There several things wrong with it:
1) I was in a symposium on Kamil Avdich in 2002 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and the paper I wrote was published in Bosnian and English with a collection of the Islamic leader's Bosnian writings that LogicBiH claims is long dead and long forgotten. Why would the religious leadership of Bosnia publish such a work if he was unimportant. He must think the religious leaders of Bosnia are idiots too since they just collected the writings of "some long dead and forgotten Islamic leader".
2) I wrote a thirty plus page introduction to his collected works. That seems like a little more than just reprinting his works.
3) I was on a panel that wrote a coffee table book on Bosnian immigration to America that was in Bosnian and English on facing pages. Of those articles I wrote more than a quarter of them.
4) The Bosnian community must think the work is important since they had two book promotions for it the past month.
5) It seems LogicBih is jealous that I married a Bosnian, visted Bosnian, and have published over a dozen articles about Bosnian and Bosnians in the United States.
6) LogicBiH is a coward and if he knew me he would say those things to my face.
7) I don't go around talking about people's wives behind their back and my wife did go to school and knows how to read. It just shows you the lengths some jealous people will go to.

We have ] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed.

The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

== Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society ==
The user is ], and I believe is the same user as ] and a few IP sock puppets. The main reason I think they're the same is that they keep inserting linkspam to the same sites as apparently their primary activity on Misplaced Pages. The linkspam is to a BB called Universe Daily, and much of it is in the form of redirect URL's including badastronomy.com, robertzubrin.com, and amateurspaceflight.com, that all redirect to the same "Universe Daily" site. ], the same one ] had slathered everywhere, on his userpage. The ] username was apparently created two days after ] (May 23, May 21). Since ] created his account, his chief activity () seems to have been adding linkspam to the same URLs that ] spent his time adding, and creating new sites such as ] with names corresponding to his redirect URL's to host his linkspam, and ].
] Dear {{PAGENAME}},


I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the ''']''', an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Misplaced Pages project for fifteen years or more. &#x200B;
As an example of the continuity of linkspamming between these two usernames and a few other apparent sockpuppets, the ] article has had the same linkspam added six times in the past two weeks (), including three times in the past hour and a half, by ], a few IP addresses with no other contributions, and ]. The first time, the added link was to "universedaily.com", then after that was reverted away, the subsequent five times have all been to a URL, "robertzubrin.com", to match the title of the article, but which is just a redirect to Universe Daily:

Hello Tom, Can I ask you to look at the recent "edits" on the ], which you reverted earlier. A noted conspiracy buff then reverted back to his preferred version, which I reverted back. This has been reverted, yet again, by the same person. My suggestion was to wait until ]'s proposed rewrite, but this has been ignored. Regards, David, ] (]) 18:10, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
In addition, ] made abusive comments to those who warn him on linkspam, e.g. ]: "What is the point of having links then? Stop talking gibberish. Wpel? Speaky english??? Oh fine.

Hi Tom. I've been working on an article about ] (], ), a small Silicon Valley peace group made up of expat Indian-Americans and Pakistani-Americans advocating for peace between their two countries through vigils, letter-writing, etc. (References: , , , ).


== Bob Dylan and Alcohol ==
FOSA is strongly opposed by some Indian nationalists and Hindu fundamentalists, who apparently believe that the group harms Indian and/or Hindu interests by calling for secularism and peace between India and Pakistan. When I first encountered the article, it was short on facts, and presented in a way that appeared biased against the group (see ). I've been working on the article, and added a substantial amount of detail -- both on the group, as well as on specific criticisms. Three Wikipedians have kept deleting segments of the text that didn't match their POV, so I started sourcing every statement possible. (See .)


Hi Tom harrison, Following my deletion of this material ], there is a discussion of Bob Dylan and Alcohol here: ]. Any comments you wish to make are welcome. ] (]) 18:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
These three users continue to make edits and frequent reversions supporting the conspiracy theory that Friends of South Asia is secretly a Pakistani-controlled organization, biased against India, supportive of Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan, and working to bolster the Pakistani army. What's left is a boring slow motion edit war, continually chugging along for two months now.


== ] ==
I've been documenting detailed, externally-referenced, critiques of the Indian nationalist POV edits on the talk page; my comments are typically ignored, and my edits swiftly reverted by editors pushing the secret-pro-Pakistani-bias theory, often without explanation. I believe my edits are NPOV, and I've posted the dispute to ] and ] over a month ago, trying to get outside opinions; neither request has gotten any bites.


Hi Tom. I'd appreciate your input ] Thanks. ]&nbsp;<sup>(]&#124;])</sup> 09:58, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

I take the liberty to contact you, I am a doctoral student in Political Science at the University of Paris 1 and my work focuses on the history of conspiracy theories, on which I have already published a few scientific articles and I am now preparing a book. I have been interviewing conspiracists and truthers, their critics and opponents for several years, working particularly on the French association ReOpen911 and the question of 9/11, as a now "historical" case of conspiracy...And obviously wikipedia has been a rather major theater of discussions/criticisms on the subject.
'''Comment''': Tom, We have to thank Anirvan for starting to search web documents regarding FOSA and bringing quite of few of them to attention by citing them. That has lead to the discovery of the more facts about FOSA. However, about the founders of FOSA, what we know is this:
# It was "founded" by 9 individuals (the first meeting was apparently attended by 9 persons). No information about seven of them.
# I know names of only two of the co-founders, both from Pakistan; from claims they have themselves made. I don't know the name of any Indian co-founder.
# For all practical purposes, it has been coordinated by a Pakistani individual, the FOSA address and phone for the past several years has been his personal work address and phone.


Looking at the related conspiracy pages' statistics, I realized that you have worked for long on these issues on wikipedia, hence my message and a small request: I would really appreciate if you can share bits of this "experience" with me in an interview.
Thus I think FOSA should be described as a "Pakistani and Indian" organization and not as an "Indian and Pakistani" organization.--] 00:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
:] is a good place to start. You contributions are welcome, but ] is a contentious article. Most pages are, when they touch on religion and politics.

Tom - a few points which you might like to bear in mind........
* The case study was linked to several process related articles to which it was directly relevant. The case study concerns a world-wide project that has won numerous awards.
* Since including the case study links to these half dozen articles (some 3 days ago and some today) there have been over 250 direct hits on the case study web page. There have been over 40 enquiries for further information on a variety of related issues, which has been provided free of charge and has further informed those recipients. Clearly other people find the case study more informative than you do.
* I personally have nearly 20 years' experience in this field and to be frank, normally when we offer information on process improvement, BPR etc, people are interested because bluntly we know what we are talking about
* I don't know you Tom, but I do not think you are in a qualified position to offer an opinion on this case study, nor on the links to it from the associated articles. May I suggest you seek advice from Misplaced Pages in future before deleting links which you personally consider inappropriate, failing which I shall approach Misplaced Pages directly as to your actions.<small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) {{{2|}}}.</small>

Thanks, Tom. Such a compromise was exactly what was needed.

He's a very direct interest in removing these words of advice, as he is among their most egregious violators.

:I expect Arbcom will judge his case on its merits. I hope the compromise is useful. I've been trying to move away from contentious pages. I have no particular expertise in this area beyond haveing read a few books, and the pages just don't seem to give very much return for my labor. Others have been able to do some excellent, scholarly work under very difficult conditions.

== Flight 77 Videos ==

Tom, regarding my edit concerning the accuracy of what lead to the release of the recent Flight 77 videos, you wrote:

>>rv- flight77.info is not a reliable source for anything but what its operator thinks

In response, the edit was concerning the legal documentation in the case. The edit was made to correct the inaccuracy written that the Department of Defense released the videos to Judicial Watch in response to their lawsuit. This is not accurate. I don't know how to correct the inaccuracy without linking to the related documentation that is on the site, flight77.info. Perhaps the documentation files could be moved to a different source.

I've worked for this site and its efforts, but I sincerely don't wish to promote it in correcting the inaccuracy on Misplaced Pages.

It was the Department of Justice, not the Department of Defense that released the videos. from the Department of Justice concerning the release. As stated in the letter, the release was a CD ROM which represented "...the responsive record described in the Declaration of David Hardy dated August 1, 2005 in the above-captioned case."

The case mentioned was the case filed by the webmaster of flight77.info, Scott Bingham. I don't know how to avoid referencing Scott Bingham and his site in describing why the videos were released. It was simply through his lawsuit that they were released. That lawsuit had been active for over a year when Judicial Watch filed their lawsuit. Their lawsuit was a junior lawsuit. All junior lawsuits were issued the same release as the senior lawsuit. The release was forced by the senior lawsuit. You can refer to the in the case. It is this information that explains why these particular videos were released and about the timeing, and why the other videos referenced in the documentation have not been released.

If you can suggest a way and a reason to omit Scott Bingham's effort in the release of the videos, it can be arranged. The supporting documentation can either be moved to a different server and/or Scott Bingham's name can be removed from the documentation.

The important thing is to convey accuracy in why the videos were released and when. The inaccuracy that Judicial Watch forced this release has fueled conspiracy theories due to speculation.

You may or may not agree with the views or integrity of Scott Bingham, but that shouldn't stand in the way of providing an accurate article.

Your comments are appreciated.

You reverted my contribution to the intro of ], without comment, which as you should know as a fellow admin is not good practice. If you have concerns, lets discuss on the talk page. In the meantime, I'm re-reverting, because the original text has some NPOV problems. ] 01:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

== False Accusations ==

You claimed in your revert from my work back to Musical Linguist's that you were restoring the word monotheistic. I ask where you see that altered in my version at all.

:''Christianity is an array of diverse but interrelated monotheistic religious movements centered on the life and teachings of Jesus, as recounted in various sacred texts, the most generally accepted being the New Testament. Christians believe Jesus to be the Messiah, and thus refer to him as Jesus Christ. With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.''

It calls says "an array of diverse but interrelated monotheistic religious movements"! That is leaving no place to restore monotheism. Rather, you removed the concepts that Christianity refers to many, many diverse but interrelated movements, and that some of them use other texts than what is in the New Testament.

](]) 18:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

:We all make an occasional inaccurate edit summary. It's not a big deal, and edit summraries can't be altered afterwards. But in any case ''"rv - restore 'monotheistic'"'' is not an accusation. Tom didn't put "rv King Vegita's attempt to remove monothestic", so there was no false accusation. ] ] 18:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Full Immediate protection needed.

A full scale editing war has broken out on this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/Golden_Dawn_tradition#The_Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn_.28Inc..29

They’re reverting the article incessantly, and arguing over whose order is at top of the links section, furthermore, there is also an editing war being perpetuated rampantly about a non- traditional Golden Dawn order being included in the links section. The article is being edited and reverted now, every couple of minutes.

Help! Can someone please lock this article to stop this vandalism, so that the other editors and myself can work this out. Please lock this article to stop these new, unscrupulous users frivolously editing the links in this article. Please lock the article immediately, so that myself and the established editors on the Golden Dawn article can stop this rampant editing war.

User 999 is making false claims that I am using a so-called sock puppet, I vehemently disapprove of this, and I can state categorically that I am not using a sock-puppet. I am willing to send my IP address into a Misplaced Pages admin so that they can verify that these other new users, that are frequently editing the page are not operative via my IP address.

User 999 is creating schism and false intrigues against me they should he should rightfully receive a warning or a 24 hour block ,so that myself and other established editors of the Golden Dawn article can put a stop to this edit war.
Please lock this page immediately to stop further abuse and editing wars.

A moderator has already blocked new users to the article; however, this is not the problem. It is not new users that are causing the disruptions, it is established users: 999, synergetic maggot and JMAX555.
The article needs to be immediately fully protected as the aforementioned users are on one side of a current trademark litigation case and I am on the other. Their trying to get me blocked to that they can vandalise the article to their own biased political agenda. The aforementioned users have in fact had me innocently blocked a few days ago and then vandalised the article to
You need to intervene more seriously and put a permanent block on the article, as these problems won’t go away until you take action against the aforementioned users.

These aforementioned users have instigated a full-scale edit war and the problem isn’t due to vandalism by new users. Take a look at the Rosicrucian Order of A+O page that was locked due to these aforementioned users creating an edit war, and now this has spilled over on the main Golden Dawn article.

These users are conspirators and are attempting to get me blocked so that they can go unchecked in an edit war to change the article in a defamatory tone, in an attempt to promote their political agenda over the other orders entries.

Here’s the link to show the aforementioned users last editing war that has now spilled over onto the main Golden Dawn article: http://en.wikipedia.org/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn_%28Rosicrucian_Order_of_A%2BO%29

As this will spiral into a full blown editing war when JMAX555 reverts back to his biased article. The establihed users need talk about this to sort this problem out. The only that will happen is if the article is locked and their forced to discuss their changes.
This will develop further into a full-blown edit war, strong action needs to be taken, as I've reverted the article back to the neatral POV, Jmax555 will now just revert back to his version when he spots the changes.

== Another request ==
Hi Tom,

It's again me with another request. Could you please have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Dhimmi#Some_evidences_that_the_article_is_still_disputed

The question is whether "Jewish Encyclopedia" could be cited in wikipedia (Pecher argues that it is outdated). Your input is appreciated.

Thanks,

== Egyptian math ==

Tom,

Progress is being made, at least from my side of the
discussion. The issue of RMP #31 not being written
in 'false position' arithmetic on Misplaced Pages is a problem
that may take up too much of your time. Others have
already worked on the topic, as St. Andrews U., Scotland's
web site on the subject has already noted. Modern
arithmetic does offer the most direct and convincing
method to write out 28/97, and many other vulgar
fractions, and weights and measures problems.

Given this one explicit non-use of 'false position' in
RMP #31, another explicit proof that modern arithmetic and
algebra were used in all other vulgar fraction problems
written by Ahmes may follow relatively quickly (for those
that take the time to review the subject with pencil and
paper).

Given that you have not read this 10 year old posting,
I can see why you are reluctant to expand the current
debate of attested or contested scribal methods to
'false position'.

How has your review of Boyer and the Encyclopedia
Britannica.com progressed , on Egyptian ciphered numerals,
the first anywhere recorded in the world, if Britannica
is to be believed?

Best Regards,

Milo Gardner

==Improperly Blocked as a Sock==

I have been improperly blocked as a sock. Who do I talk to to straighten this out?

Sorry, Mr. Harrison, it looks like I was mistaken. I misread something in my talk. In any case, two of my friends and fellow editors have been improperly blocked today and this made me paranoid. The group of editors on the HOGD pages with HOGD, Inc. bias are behaviing quite unfairly. They (especially User 999) are actively recruiting other editors and every time a new editor enters that shares our POV they complain that they must be a sock. Please note that Frater Fiat Lux and Opuat are two distinct editors. The former lives in the and the latter in Berlin, Germany. A simple examination of their IP addresses should straighten this mess out.

Hey thanks for clearing up those edits. Brandt is definitely leaving though, and I've heard Bongard will be the replacement.

Roman's website is in terrible condition, so I'm going to scour the Archdiocesan press releases instead of relying on Roman to update the info.

Noel Rose (a page you deleted in 2006)

Hi Tom, I work in the field of autoimmune disease and went looking for a page on Noel Rose, but noticed a 2006 version had been deleted by you. I expect it was a guideline problem (e.g., a verbatim copy of existing content), but let me know if there was some other reason. I am going to start creating the new page, but if you have issues please let me know. Thank you.

Aaron Abend (talk) 13:58, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Invited!

Hi Tom! Next on my list to bring to Featured Article level is the Collapse of the World Trade Center article. I have commenced doing some adjustments and some may become major as it proceeds. I feel it lacks the engineering discussion needed to provide a full understanding of how and why the buildings collapsed and for that I need persons better versed than I to at least steer it along the correct path...so anything you have to suggest there or here is welcome.--MONGO (talk) 14:08, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, sounds good. Tom Harrison 20:24, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
I think some organizational issues persist and was thinking a brief summary of the attacks, followed by a detailed description of the collapses (the article lacks many finer details) then on to the mechanics of what happened. I am not sure a lengthy discussion about lost artwork, etc, belongs as I think this needs to mainly discuss the engineering aspects. We may have to address conspiracy theories was well near the end if for no other reason than to put them in their bed.--MONGO (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Icon of a white exclamation mark within a black triangle
 Administrators must secure their accounts

The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

View additional information

Why have I received this message?
All administrators are receiving it.
What prompted you to send this message?
Recently, several Misplaced Pages admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account.
What do I need to do?
Only to follow the instructions in this message.
  1. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
  2. Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
  3. Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.
How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

About a Research on the History of Conspiracy Theories

Dear Tom Harrison,

I take the liberty to contact you, I am a doctoral student in Political Science at the University of Paris 1 and my work focuses on the history of conspiracy theories, on which I have already published a few scientific articles and I am now preparing a book. I have been interviewing conspiracists and truthers, their critics and opponents for several years, working particularly on the French association ReOpen911 and the question of 9/11, as a now "historical" case of conspiracy...And obviously wikipedia has been a rather major theater of discussions/criticisms on the subject.

Looking at the related conspiracy pages' statistics, I realized that you have worked for long on these issues on wikipedia, hence my message and a small request: I would really appreciate if you can share bits of this "experience" with me in an interview.

All the best

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Administrators at risk for being desysopped under these criteria will continue to be notified ahead of time. Thank you for your continued work.

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
