== Saudi soldier death section ==

Hello there, user. Consider that you were taking charge of contributing to the Saudi Arabian protests, if you read the recent news there would be two deaths: a protester and a government soldier. I have place the soldier name as part of the death list, but I can't really tell if that's the right place to put, unless if you really want the death table section to be under protester-ONLY death (meaning no pro-government troops were included). Either way, I will leave those for you to decide where you want to put the soldier's death. Thanks

[[User:Myronbeg|Myronbeg]] ([[User talk:Myronbeg|talk]]) 15:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

:Thanks for the note, i'll have a look. BTW, i would recommend that details relevant to an article go on the article's discussion page, and a note on my talk page to let me know is enough. Also, remember [[WP:OWN]]. So even if i edit your edits, it doesn't make me the owner... If the KSA authorities ignore the [[2000s in Morocco]] option, sooner or later there'll soon by an avalanche of new editors and i'll become a minority editor.

Hi, user. You will need this:

August 6

And recently 13 August
http://www.nowlebanon.com/NewsArticleDetails.aspx?ID=427435
:This one is hard to use: the Ministry only says that the shooting occurred in a region where political protests take place, and specifically claims there is no link with the political protests. I think the others are now in the timeline. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

[[User:Myronbeg|Myronbeg]] ([[User talk:Myronbeg|talk]]) 13:12, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, user. There are two events ongoing, but for the one in Awamiyah, do you think it should be under the Saudi protests or it just another outside event? If it should be included then I will include another death toll.

== November battle (dubious) of Damascus ==

It was agreed already on the talk page of that article that there are no sources to confirm a Battle of Damascus, it was the POV of one editor, Alhanuty. Also, the article was more of a content fork from the Rif Dimashq campaign article. All other editors agreed that the info from the article was better suited to Rif Dimashq campaign article (by a count of 3 to 1). And it was merged. Alhanuty went against consensus and reverted back without even talking. Alhanuty didn't even try to start a new discussion, he simply went against a majority consensus. And I'm once again pointing out that the article, which he created, is totally at this point his own POV because there are no sources to indicate a battle for Damascus or even a siege as he suggested. Also, more than half the content he put in the article is already in the other one. The current rebel offensive that Alhanuty has been pointing out to has not been happening in Damascus itself, but 30 kilometers to the east of the capital in Rif Dimashq province, which the Rif Dimashq campaign article already covers in detail. This includes the airport which itself is not in the capital itself, but 30 kilometers southeast from it, and is already covered in the other article. I have merged the new content that you added to the Rif Dimashq campaign article, thank you for those updates. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 14:43, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

:P.S. I clarified those sentences you pointed out to at the Casualties article. Hope they are good now. :) [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 14:49, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

::Ok, since it has become a hot topic I made a totally new proposal at Rif Dimashq campaign article. The main central article on all the fighting in Damascus capital and Rif Dimashq province will be [[2011–2012 Damascus clashes]]. The sub-articles to that article will be Battle of Damascus/Operation Damascus Volcano, Darayya massacre, 1st Rif Dimashq offensive (military August-September; result - indecisive), 2nd Rif Dimashq offensive (rebel November-present; result - ongoing). So in essence I am proposing to split Rif Dimashq campaign up into a 1st offensive and 2nd offensive articles, the military one and rebel one. Since the issue of the scope of the article has been hotly debated. And some even proposed that the article cover all the way since November 2011, but 2011–2012 Damascus clashes already does this. So, can we agree on splitting the article into two offensives? Since we already agreed that there have in fact been two offensives. And the 2nd offensive article would of course also include the current sporadic clashes in the capital, although they are still minimal. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 15:40, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

:::In reply to not seeing Alhanuty commenting anywhere on that talk page, he is user 24.0.208.70. In any case seems we have reached a wide agreement on what to do with all of the articles. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 14:23, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

== [[User:YasminaDD|YasminaDD]] ([[User talk:YasminaDD|talk]]) 22:46, 2 June 2018 (UTC)Thanks Boud ==

[[User:YasminaDD|YasminaDD]] ([[User talk:YasminaDD|talk]]) 22:46, 2 June 2018 (UTC) Hi Boud.Thanks for your edit. I added a reference for the first "citation needed". However, for the second part, I am not sure how can I cite emails and meetings that took place years ago?

:Other Wikipedians will have to judge the validity of your first reference - see [[WP:NONENG]] for suggestions. 

:For the second part, you would need to convince, for example, a journalist or someone active in a human rights organisation that this is an important issue, and provide the emails and reports or verbal memories of the meetings to that person to help convince him/her that this really happened. If that person then published a report (preferably online: newspaper article, human rights report) with the information in those sentences, then that would be one example of a [[secondary source]] for the information. Someone who is recognised as a journalist or publishes in a serious newspaper, or who is active in a human rights organisation and succeeds in getting his/her report published officially, is someone who has judged the validity of the information and should be aware of the context; his/her report or article will also have gone through several degrees of criticism by colleagues/editors. This type of procedure does not ''guarantee'' that the information is reliable, but it does tend to remove some obvious types of ''false facts''. Different organisations and publishers also have different reputations for fact-checking. As long as the publishers have been around for a long time, Wikipedians can generally make some judgement about whether a publisher satisfies [[WP:RS]] or not, although obviously there's a fuzzy middle ground. 

:If Yasminah E. has an online public cv, then that would count as a [[primary source]], which is not normally acceptable - see e.g. [[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Misuse_of_primary_sources]], although there are exceptions.

:This might sound unfair, since you feel that these facts are important and should be in the Wikipedia article and you're sure they're true. (I personally have no reason to believe that they're false, and they seem both credible and relevant to me.) But you have to think of the whole system of trying to check claims of facts and trace their sources, and see the point of view of Wikipedians and Wikipedia readers. There are millions of people around the world who contact ministers and bureaucrats and politicians and successfully convince them to implement administrative/legal changes. But who judges what were the "causal" factors that led to the change? Journalists, historians, human rights organisations have (some) credibility for judging what the facts are and how significant they are and who/what was most important in getting the change to happen. Wikipedia [[WP:NOR|does not substitute for them]]. You can see longer (more careful :)) explanations of what I've more or less said here in the links above, especially:
:* [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]
:* [[Wikipedia:NOR]]
:* [[Wikipedia:COI]] - if you are the same Yasminah... (you don't have to say if you are, but you should read the guideline)
:* [[WP:BLP]] - Yasminah Elsaadany is presumably still alive, and Wikipedia is especially sensitive to claims of facts about living people (though positive facts are less sensitive than negative ones).

==[[Template:Did you know nominations/Murder of April Tinsley]]==
Hi, thanks for helping out with the reviews at DYK. Just a heads-up: if you write a hook, you cannot review it, per [[WP:DYKSG#H2|Rule H2]]. It seems the nominator did tweak this one enough to make it his own, but in future you could either suggest a new hook and then leave it to another editor to finish reviewing the nomination, or encourage the nominator to write his own alt hooks. Thanks, [[User:Yoninah|Yoninah]] ([[User talk:Yoninah|talk]]) 22:42, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
:H2 refers to ''"You're not allowed to approve your own hook..."''. Sure, that's obvious. 
:I guess what you're trying to say is that my variations on FallingGravity's hook and tweaking of his/her ALT3 hook are felt by you to be "my" hook. Given that ALT1 and ALT2 contained almost the same information as FallingGravity's original hook, and that FallingGravity wrote ALT3, and I only modified it a little, I don't really think it can be called "my" hook without modification of the guideline.
:I propose to work on your suggestion of an extra guideline at [[Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know/Supplementary_guidelines#H5_-_a_reviewer-modified_hook_needs_a_third-party_reviewer]]. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 07:32, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
::Just to clarify in this particular case: although I wouldn't use the description "my hook", I do see that it would have been useful to let a third-party reviewer judge whether or not to finish the review, e.g. using ''subst:DYK?again'', especially since there's a BLP aspect here.

==[[Draft:Naresh Dadhich (political scientist)]]==
Hi. I've moved this article to draft because it is in a pretty poor state. It looks like you created it from existing content so it's nothing personal. However, it's obvious that the subject of the article has been editing it and it is basically promotional from start to finish. If you want to do anything about it, you know where to find it. [[User:Deb|Deb]] ([[User talk:Deb|talk]]) 12:50, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Deb}}. I've put an edit history analysis at [[Draft talk:Naresh Dadhich (political scientist)#Disambiguation from 2008]]. So yes, the "this-is-ND's-brilliant-self-cv" content was <s>put</s> copied there by me under the assumption that it was covered by CC-BY-SA, without condoning the (low) quality. As a matter of principle, do we have any policies about removing an article from mainspace to Draft - without any of the normal discussion procedures for move and delete proposals? 
:In terms of practicality, in this particular case, it's probably hard to complain and [[WP:SNOWBALL]] applies. In 12 years of en.WP history, the ND-political-scientist article has not progressed at all. Four titles of what appear to be books and no other bibliometric information do not constitute a list of verifiable references for inline sourcing of factual claims in the article. The involvement of [[User:Nareshdadhich]], whose user page looks like a not-very-humble cv, doesn't suggest that the person most motivated to improve the quality of the article by asking for help from uninvolved parties has made any effort to read any Wikipedia guidelines. (Which makes me wonder about the author's would-be academic skills...)
:So I'm not disputing the move, but I am curious about whether a policy exists. There could be similar cases that are not so clear-cut.

::I don't think so, but I've done it once or twice recently (I should add that I came across this one purely by accident - I wasn't tracking the article creator or anything.)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Maria Ribeiro (disambiguation)]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:Maria Ribeiro (disambiguation)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] disambiguation page which either
:::*disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]); or
:::* disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Maria Ribeiro (disambiguation)|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 [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-disambig-notice -->  — [[User:Gorthian|Gorthian]] ([[User talk:Gorthian#top|talk]]) 03:30, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

==Sovereignty Council of Sudan==

Hi
Why the name of the article is Sovereignty Council of Sudan and not Sovereignty Council? --[[User:Panam2014|Panam2014]] ([[User talk:Panam2014|talk]]) 23:01, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

:Hi Panam2014 - In {{diff|Sovereignty_Council_of_Sudan|911890780|911879512|label=this name change}} MayorCarter made the change from ''Sovereignty Council (2019)'' to ''Sovereignty Council of Sudan'' without respecting the fact that a debate was opened: [[User_talk:MayorCarter#Please_respect_other_editors|I warned him/her about that.]] I'm [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]], that MayorCarter will learn from this mistake. In terms of Wikipedia principles, the move made by MayorCarter has no effect on the discussion, except for annoying people. If you like you can [[Wikipedia:Protection_policy#move|ask for admin help for temporary ''move protection'']] - and explain that it would help for the present discussion to move the name back to the name when the move request started, to reduce confusion. Keep in mind that the better you explain yourself, with appropriate links, rather than forcing admins to have to look for all the info themselves, the more likely it is that an admin will respond to you quickly. Start from the top of [[Wikipedia:Protection_policy]] for more info about admins (how they're selected, who they are) and this particular role of admins. See [[:Template:diff]] for a guideline on how to show individual edits like I did above. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 00:27, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

==Bluetooth mesh networking - Community usage==
A note about using a peer-to-peer communication app in HK is interesting, but I'm afraid it's not about Bluetooth mesh protocol, as standardized by Bluetooth SIG. To my knowledge, none of the phones available on the market are capable of peer-to-peer Bluetooth mesh communication. They only can talk to mesh network if one of the nodes provide them with so-called proxy capability. So I assume that Bridgefy app uses some other form of mesh communication, most probably based on iBeacon protocol. iBeacon is based on Bluetooth Low Energy like Bluetooth mesh is, but they are different things.
Summarizing, I'd suggest to move your info to some other Bluetooth- or mesh- related pages.
[[User:MichalHobot|MichalHobot]] ([[User talk:MichalHobot|talk]]) 11:43, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
:{{reply to|MichalHobot}} The sources used in the article do not, as far as I can see, make the surprising claim that "mesh networking" is a protocol. It might well be true that Bridgefy is not based on the Bluetooth Mesh network specifications but instead on iBeacon, which according to you depends on [[Bluetooth Low Energy]]. If so, please add your sources and cite the info from them at [[Bridgefy]], and it would be best to use web.archive.org or wikiwix.com to include archiveurl's so that if the sources are volatile, the Wikipedia entries will still make sense in a few years' time. Nobody guarantees that s/he will maintain any given Wikipedia article...
:It would be best to place more specific discussion on the [[Talk:Bridgefy|talk pages]] of [[Talk:Bluetooth_mesh_networking|these articles]] - interested readers and editors are more likely to find the info in the [[Talk:Bluetooth_Low_Energy|obvious place]] in that case - thanks! :) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 01:16, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

How do you fix the "|first= missing |last=" errors?
[[User:Quebec99|Quebec99]] ([[User talk:Quebec99|talk]]) 17:24, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

:I think you may have already started fixing that - see {{diff|Timeline of the 2011–12 Saudi Arabian protests (from July 2012)|925223495|925222111|this edit}}. Instead of ''first'' and ''last'', use ''author''. My interpretation is that these authors are initials, but there would be no point trying to separate out the initials into "last" and "first" names. It would be speculation. In principle, looking at the newspaper's list of journalists should make it possible to work out who is who, but that would be quite a bit of work. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 17:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

::I made a few of these changes just now, but I'm happy to leave it to you to do more on this series of pages. Since Press TV often lists two authors with a slash - ''AB/CD'', meaning e.g. Andrew Bloggs and Carol Dean - we could in principle split to ''|author1=AB |author2=CD''. Since the author information in this case is already weak, I would say that keeping a single author is just as useful as the split.

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==
Hello, 

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. 

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. 

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. 

Thank you!

== Helping me with updating a file. ==

Hey,
You have previously said that there's a button "Upload a new version of this file" on the [[Commons:File:COVID-19 Outbreak Cases in Poland.svg]] but I dont see any button like that, and there's also is a text saying "You cannot overwrite this file." So, how I can upload an updated, a newer version of that .svg picture? Thx, for help. [[User:Natanieluz|Natanieluz]] ([[User talk:Natanieluz|talk]]) 13:26, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
:{{re|Natnieluz}} If you have Polish set in your preferences: go to the bottom of the section "Historia pliku". Just above the next section "Wykorzystanie pliku" you should see "Załaduj nowszą wersję tego pliku". In English do the equivalent. :) In many browsers (e.g. firefox), you can use Ctrl-f to search for a string (sequence of characters) within the page. Do you see "You cannot overwrite this file." at the position in the page that I'm talking about? [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 17:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
::I found the explanation: [[:Commons:Commons:FAQ#How_can_I_upload_a_new_version_of_a_file.3F]] + [[:Commons:User_talk:Natanieluz]] - you only created an account at Commons at 16:43, 6 March 2020 UTC = 17:43 CET, so you'll have to wait two more days, until 17:43 CET 10 March, before being able to upload new versions. I don't think that for you to switch to new file names for each update until then would be reasonable. The idea of forcing people to wait until they've had a chance to learn is reasonable, and four days is not extremely long. For reading through the various guideline pages, four days is in fact rather short. Building an encyclopedia is a long-term project. At [[:Commons:User_talk:Natanieluz|your talk page on Commons]] you have a welcome message pointing to lots of th e key guidelines. If you switch your preferences language to Polish, then this welcome message will very likely to switch to Polish. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 17:27, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

== Table collapse and sorting ==

Hi, from [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ACOVID-19_testing&type=revision&diff=945004579&oldid=945003067 this] I figure you know something about tables. On [[2019–20_coronavirus_outbreak]] the desire is to have the [[Template:COVID-19 testing]] table collapsed, and when expanded to have headings that are sortable. Unfortunately that seems technically hard, that there is a choice between either having it collapsible or having it sortable, see [[Template_talk:COVID-19_testing#Autocollapsing]]. Can you help?

== Ref source in templates ==

Hey, 
you often write: the ref source is/should be in one of the templates, can You tell me where (in which template this is), how You made that source and how to use it? [[User:Natanieluz|Natanieluz]] ([[User talk:Natanieluz|talk]]) 21:45, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
:hi Natanieluz. The templates are [[Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Poland medical cases]] and [[Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Poland medical cases by voivodeship]] (which you edit quite often). The idea is that the full source for a reference should only be in one of these; references in the other or in the main article should be repeat references. I've noticed that recently you've started using repeat references :), which to me makes sense. However, you're using ref names such as ":0", which apparently is the only option allowed by Visual Editor.  I edit the wikicode directly using a text editor. This allows me to use the keyboard and keyboard shortcuts, almost without using the mouse, which makes editing fast and efficient. I use the [[firefox]] browser and the [[emacs]] text editor. Emacs has many powerful tools to make systematic editing efficient. To use these two together, in my <code>~/.emacs</code> file I have 
:<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp")
(require 'edit-server)
(edit-server-start)
</syntaxhighlight>
:and in <code>~/.emacs.d/lisp/</code> I have the ''edit-server.el'' code that does the work. [https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Edit_with_Emacs Here's a longer explanation.] When I start an "edit" on Wikipedia, I see a little "edit" button at the bottom-right of my editing window; if I click on this, I get a standard ''emacs'' editing window, which has the full power of ''emacs'', rather than just the firefox editing tools. I don't know if VE (Visual Editor) shows you the reference names; if you try ''edit code'' to at least look at the source, you'll see ref names such as ''MOHPL_LD8_DS5_OP1_SL1_ZP1_PD1_17Mar''. The idea is that when you're looking at the full reference, you cross-check the name against the actual source of the reference; and when you're editing numbers in a table, you can add up the numbers from the name, e.g. if the references for one day include DS5 DS2 DS1, then you expect to get DS=8.
:With other powerful text editors (where you can do everything from the keyboard without wasting time with a mouse), e.g. [[vi]], (and there are [[Comparison of text editors|many, many text editor programs available]] that are less powerful than emacs and vi), you'll have to find other ways of connecting them to your browser.
:For making the structured references, you're welcome to cut and paste from [[User:Boud#A_few_useful_links_and_tools|notes on my user page]] (they're obviously CC-BY-SA, since they're on Wikipedia), or make similar notes on your own page.
:Hope this answers your question. :)  (BTW, in English you don't capitalise the "y" in you, except at the beginning of a sentence. :)) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:32, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
::{{re|Boud}} ohh ok, thanks - and sorry for late answer but I have pretty bussy days right now. Yea and I know that "you" is writted with "y" not "Y", but I like starting you with "Y" couse of (for me) that make more pleasant and welcoming  :). So there is a more "easy" way to make that sources like you? or is this 100% needed to be done with every source?  [[User:Natanieluz|Natanieluz]] ([[User talk:Natanieluz|talk]]) 18:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Each of us contributes what s/he can: we're all volunteers, including you. I think that this method (with names such as ''MOHPL_LD8_DS5_OP1_SL1_ZP1_PD1_17Mar'') is good and will tend to reduce errors, but you've seen that I made a few errors recently, even with this method. I've seen that a few other editors have been following the method with the information in the ref name. But as long as you don't mind me or others updating your references with the longer named ones, you shouldn't feel bad about adding references with the ":0" label from VisualEditor. This is already better than copy/pasting the same reference in full detail many times. :) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 21:44, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
::::{{re|Boud}} okey, if I am not wrong, I can "manualy" (in VisualEditor or in source editor) edit that ":0" to source name, like you done here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3A2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic_data%2FPoland_medical_cases_by_voivodeship&type=revision&diff=946635388&oldid=946634900], in short - when I publish changes in VE and then we have ":0" I can manualy overwrite which source name e.g."MOHPL_WP4_DS3_PD2_PK1_MA1_LU1_KP1_452tot_21Mar", if that will work - I will do that [[User:Natanieluz|Natanieluz]] ([[User talk:Natanieluz|talk]]) 14:24, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

:::::::{{re|Natanieluz}} Nice work :). I made {{diff|Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Poland medical cases by voivodeship|946698997|946693548|just one edit}} on the voivodeships template. 
:::::::Also see {{diff|Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Poland medical cases|946699189|946687136|this edit to the medical cases}} template. If you look carefully at the two templates, you'll see <nowiki><noinclude>...</noinclude></nowiki> sections in each, at the top, and at the bottom. This means that when the template is included in another page, the ''noinclude'' parts are ignored. Each of these two templates calls the other one in its own ''noinclude'' section. If you look at a template on its own, you see the ''noinclude'' parts. This way, a reference in one can be used in the other, and looks OK without having to go to the main article. But also, the main article does not end up with multiple copies of the same reference. If you want, you can experiment in your user space, e.g. create [[User:Natanieluz/sandbox/test]], [[User:Natanieluz/sandbox/medtemplate]], [[User:Natanieluz/sandbox/voivodetemplate]], and put <nowiki>{{User:Natanieluz/sandbox/voivode}}</nowiki> in a ''noinclude'' section in /sandbox/medtemplate, and do it the other way around too, and put in some simple references. Put in a bit of text, enough to avoid getting confused which article is where. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 21:35, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
::::::::{{re|Boud}} now is everything good? [[User:Natanieluz|Natanieluz]] ([[User talk:Natanieluz|talk]]) 18:38, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::{{re|Natanieluz}} In terms of the logic of referencing and cross-referencing, I didn't see any mistakes. :) I looked at your edits without separating them from those of other people - there were one or two others who made minor changes not long after you did - but I assume the changes were mostly from your edits. I made one change (to the three pages) in the name label: there was DS twice, instead of MA4 the second time. The numbers in the tables were correct (it seems to me); it's only the label itself that was wrong, and it was wrong in a consistent way, so it was only a problem for humans, not for robots. Someone coming along later (one of us or someone else) might have got confused later on. I made that sort of mistake in name labels at least once or twice. Also, I replaced ''http'' by [[HTTPS|https]] - for some people this is quite important for personal privacy - see especially [[Edward Snowden]] to understand why most of the world shifted from http to https a few years ago - and I changed archive.vn to archive.today - see [[Wikipedia_talk:List_of_web_archives_on_Wikipedia#Archive.today_preferred_URL|this discussion]].

== SARS-CoV-2 spread in Poland and its neighbours ==
Rgarding  [[2020 coronavirus pandemic in Poland]], I believe  you are responsible for producing this insightful gnuplot graph of "SARS-CoV-2 spread in Poland and its neighbours". 

The graph can be still improved:

a) Please always use the red color for the most important country, in  this case: Poland
b) Please arrange the countries on the graph's legend roughly in the same order as the are placed in the figure, namely, from top to bottom: DE, CZ, PL etc so that the eye need not search the entire graph to localize the next country in the graph
c) remove labels from the "y" axis for the multiplicities of 2 (2, 20, 200, etc.)
d) on the y axis, introduce minor tics (in gnuplot: "set mytics 10"). Their length is typically half the length of ordinary tics
e) it should be possible to draw the "30% slope% curve  as a dashed line. Ths would easily indicate that this curve is different in nature and does not represent any country. Also, please do remove the symbols from its ends!!! You can also reduce the line thickness for it. 

Anyway, great job, this is my favorite figure for many days!

== note re [[Protests of 2019]] article revisions  ==

hi., what is the latest status, on the edit process or article improvement process for [[Protests of 2019]]? I have saved the latest version in my user space, at [[User:Sm8900/Drafts/Protests of 2019]]. you are welcome to work on it there, or alternately to create your own copy. could you please let me know what the current status is? I appreciate all your efforts. thanks!!  --[[User:Sm8900|Sm8900]] ([[User talk:Sm8900|talk]]) 19:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

:I don't quite follow. The article, including its full edit history and copyright of all the authors, is temporarily undeleted at [[Protests of 2019]]. In terms of copyright, I am forbidden from working on any version that includes contributions by other authors without the proper copyright tracing, since the copyright conditions of their contributions - CC-BY-SA by default unless they declare something like PD on their user pages - require full attribution. There's a procedure we can look up for requesting a copy of the full article including the edit history in user space, but I'm not going to look it up right now. 
:But back to your question: I technically cannot edit or improve the article right now (unless I write a script to download the full edit history and reconstruct that on another mediawiki server, which I'm not going to do; or if one of us requests restoral of a full copy with full attribution in our user space). The temporary undeletion makes it a little easier to respond at [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2020_June_15#Protests_of_2019]]. I'll discuss there. In principle you should put a warning on the snapshot that you have made about attribution and the context. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
::{{Re|Sm8900}} - see [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content]] and [[:Category:Wikipedia_administrators_willing_to_provide_copies_of_deleted_articles]] for policy and admins willing to provide you with a userfied copy of the article. You should also ask the same admin to delete - on your request - the page [[User:Sm8900/Drafts/Protests of 2019]] - on the grounds that you created this with the best of intentions, but without realising the problems of missing attribution. I don't think just a warning placed there is really enough. I would also suggest that you place your opinion in the DRV as either '''endorse''' or '''overturn''' or '''relist''', in the style that others have done, with a very brief summary of your reasons, and briefly state that longer comments by you are above. That would make it easier for uninvolved people to more easily get an overview of the discussion. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 00:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

== Protestor vs protesters ==

{{ping|Boud}} Hello, I'm Akmaie Ajam. I need to clear up ambiguity about whether "protestor" should be corrected into "protester" or that "protestor" is correct and just an alternative to "protester". I'm confused about whether to correct it or not because you reverted my edit in the Sudanese Revolution article but not in the 2020 Belarusian protests article. Thank you. [[User:Akmaie Ajam|<span style="font-family:tw cen mt; color:#33ccff;">ᐱᔌᕬᐱɭᕮ ᐱᒍᐱᕬ</span>]] [[User talk:Akmaie Ajam|<span style="font-family:tw cen mt;color:#000000">(Talk)</span>]] 08:49, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Akmaie Ajam}} Selamat malam (di sini sekarang malam)! :) See [[:wikt:protestor]]. Both are correct. The general policy with a question of style like this (such as US vs AU/UK English) is to prefer consistency within any single article. Consistency between different articles is not generally expected. Once an article is one style, it's generally not a good idea to change unless there's a special reason to, or if all editors agree. The Sudanese Revolution article (that started off as a "protests" article), has had "protestors" for a long time. The Belarusian 2020 protests articles had had "protesters" more or less since it started (I think). Keduanya artikul baik. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 21:52, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello 

Greetings,

I visited your profile and and viewed couple of contributions. I have been supporting and looking for article expansion support for some of following. 

* [[International Conference on Population and Development]]
* [[Draft:Sexual politics]] (Gender politics)
* [[Draft:Autobiographies of Muslim and Ex-Muslim Women]]
* [[Draft:Expressions of Muslim and Ex-Muslim Women through media ineteractions]]
* [[Draft:Women's rights in Muslim societies]]
* [[Draft:Civil life in conflict zones]]
* [[Draft:Women, conflicts and conflict zones]]

After visiting your profile, a question came in my mind whether Wikipedia has any article on Women's role in promoting peace. 

Please see do consider  above topics and also help / support in expansion of those which you find interested in.

== All-Poland women strike ==

Dear Boud,
I'm concerned about the impartiality of editing when it comes to "All-polish women strike" article.
It is strange you address warnings to me, and not to the user Trasz and other anonymous who constantly remove sourced information?
Are the statements I added false? 
About relevancy: What is relevant? Statement about Suchanow can be treated as a minor detail.
But I do not remove it. The acts of symbolical violence by many organizers and protesters, devastations of monuments etc. are important hallmarks of the protest. The lack of clear condemnation of the violence by organizers is also important. I cited Marta Lempart herself and added original source.
So do not aim your threats to me, rather help to write an unbiased article.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Semper liber sum|Semper liber sum]] ([[User talk:Semper liber sum#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Semper liber sum|contribs]]) 18:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== election forensics ==

I have just discovered, through your user page, that you were the author of the famous paper applying Benford's law on the results of the 2009 Iranian election. I had read about it ten years ago. This is fascinating. Have you written on the subject ever since? [[User:Kahlores|Kahlores]] ([[User talk:Kahlores|talk]]) 04:01, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{re|Kahlores}} Glad you liked it. :) My main subject is cosmology, so the short answer regarding Benford's law is "almost nothing", apart from getting the paper peer-reviewed. I did write a chapter in [https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691147611/benfords-law this non-free Princeton book] coordinated by Steven J. Miller (not the Trump guy), and a few weeks ago I did a quick calculation which [https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-benford-idUSKBN27Q3AI Reuters included in its fact check] on the "Elvis lives!" rumours about the US presidential election.

:What you might find interesting, since you appreciated the 2009 paper [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014JApS...41..164R (peer-reviewed in JApS)], is [https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.11779 my SARS-CoV-2 paper], currently waiting for the peer review report(s). It's again a "statistical signs of likely fraud" paper, using a completely different method, but again based on "what's obvious to an astronomer". [https://codeberg.org/boud/subpoisson/src/branch/subpoisson/README-popular-science.md Here's a brief popular] explanation. Poland turned up as one of the "minor heroes" of the paper. Algeria and Belarus are the "champions" in defeating [[Poisson distribution|Poisson noise]]. The paper aims to be one of the new generation of quantitative science papers aiming at high-quality, long-term [[reproducibility]]: any quantitative scientist with reasonable scientific computing skills should be able to check the complete chain from the source data to the pdf form of the paper.

==War crimes in the Tigray War==
Hi [[User:Boud|Boud]],
you added [[2020 Oromo schoolyard massacre]] to [[War crimes in the Tigray War]] claiming genocide as whole under Tigray war crime causes controversy. it supposed to be under Ethiopia page not Tigray war crime page. to keep matter apart not associated each other. however you insisted to be appears in the page.

::For the record no consensus has been reached and the material you want to add to EDF has major issues. Additionally the EDF article is currently biased against EDF. The material you want to add only adds to the bias therefore making the page POV of "EDF is bad". Criticism of an organisation is ok but to point of just being smears especially by active participants of the conflict ie Amnesty and HRW being in collusion with TPLF, makes there reports unreliable. Both Eritrean and Ethiopian governments have rejected. Also Amnesty and HRW have not specifically called out TPLF for their war crimes.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 18:09, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

::::Unverified and unconfirmed allegations and accusations do not belong on the EDF page. The Tigray War page has whatever allegations you want to put are there. Duplicating that on the EDF page is just spreading disinformation. The EDF page should be about the EDF ie training battalion, etc and not allegations especially weasel worded reports from amnesty and HRW which have major criticisms even from Democratic countries. So that does not belong in the EDF page.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 17:01, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::Ok I’ve verified that Amnesty and HRW have both been criticised by governments and their sources are not always credible and in this particular instance the 41 refugees of Tigrayan origin are themselves suspected of being Samri group members who committed massacres in Mai Kadra. Also whatever allegations against EDF are in the Aksum massacre does not belong on the EDF page. The amnesty report is highly disputed by Eritrea and Ethiopia government and people and the victims of Mai Kadra. So trying to add highly controversial disputed material as if a fact is unacceptable and vandalism.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 17:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::*{{tquote|Ok I've verified that Amnesty and HRW have both been criticised by governments}} Since Amnesty's and HRW's main purpose is to criticise human rights violation by governments, it's rather unsurprising that they are criticised by governments. That does not stop them from being [[WP:RS]] in the Wikipedia sense. The Eritrean government is biased in favour of the EDF and is criticised by the [[Universal Periodic Review]] for [[crimes against humanity]].{{pb}}Again, '''please read [[WP:NPOV]]''': ''"As a general rule, do not remove sourced information from the encyclopedia solely on the grounds that it seems biased."'' ... ''"Remove material only where you have a good reason to believe it misinforms or misleads readers '''in ways that cannot be addressed by rewriting the passage.'''"'' (emphasis added){{pb}}What you claim is misleading ''can'' be addressed by rewriting the passage. Your belief that the information "misinforms or misleads" only justifies ''rewriting'' that part of the text, not removing it. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:17, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
::::The EDF is clearly missing much data about the EDF which is the subject of the article. The Tigray War has a page already and duplicating that in th EDF is misleading and going beyond the scope of the article. Further any allegations against the EDF that are disputed already in the Tigray War and the War crimes cannot be added as an accepted fact. Just because Amnesty and HRW accuse and write a report does not make that report reliable. And reliablity can be disputed. Any mention of Tigray War in EDF when both EDF and Eritrea and Ethiopian governments have denied the presence is putting unconfirmed and unverified allegations hence vandalism.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 22:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::{{re|Facttell}} I don't think you read [[WP:VERIFIABILITY]] or [[WP:NPOV]] or my quote from [[WP:NPOV]] in my comment of 22:17 15 March 2021. ''Please read these fundamental Wikipedia policies.'' [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC) 
::::::I did and Amnesty and HRW neutrality in the conflict is highly questionable therefore presenting and what they report is not verified but just the words of potential war criminals hiding in refugee camps. Link provided in Talkpage of Tigray war.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 01:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Amnesty and HRW are generally accepted as reliable sources of human rights information (not 100% neutral, but being criticised by nearly every sort of government in the world over half a century suggests that the overall bias is not very strong or consistent). The fact that you personally hypothesise that the witnesses and survivors are lying and are in fact war criminals is not sufficient to remove the sources. Instead, we can ''add'' the sources the claim that Amnesty and HRW are wrong if they're sufficiently notable and if they're sourced. (Additionally, I recommend that you fully read the Amnesty and HRW reports; if you think they're wrong, you could at least read them properly to see what they claim. You'll see multiple methods of cross-checks done, for example, that some of the interviewees were phoning from Aksum (landlines show area codes), that satellite photos cross-checks with stories of graves dug.) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 03:25, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::I am not one refuting Amnesty or HRW both governments are and additionally AI and HRW have only double down unwilling to review their sources nor obtain information from both governments. If they were really neutral and unbiased they would at minimum interview victims within Ethiopia. I don't they have been denied access to Ethiopia. Also their is already investigations being done by Ethiopian Human Rights organization which is independent from the political party in power in Ethiopia. AI and HRW should've consulted and collaborated as they do with Western governments however their unwillingness to do so and repeating exactly as TPLF propaganda makes them a party to the conflict and not a neutral source. Also the Tigray war does not belong on the EDF page,the subject is about the EDF and not what they are accused of! I think the Tigray war already covers any allegations. The two subjects are different topics and are covered in separate pages. Already EDF is linked into the Tigray but repeating Tigray war data here is clouding the page. If you continue the EDF page will essentially be just accusations from Tigray war page. This page needs work but not more clutter![[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 03:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::::::As I said, you should read the reports. The whole point of [[WP:VERIFIABILITY|using sources in Wikipedia]] is that we're supposed to ''read'' and understand the sources that we use. [https://web.archive.org/web/20210226160802/https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/AFR2537302021ENGLISH.PDF Amnesty 25 Feb 2021]: page 5, footnote 2: {{tquote|Amnesty International is still trying to secure access to Tigray Regional State to conduct fact-finding on the ground, following a formal request made on 3 December 2020. Other international human rights investigators do not have formal access to Tigray either.}}; same page, {{tquote|On 18 February, Amnesty International shared the research findings presented in this briefing with Ambassador Redwan Hussein, Ethiopia's State Minister for Foreign Affairs and Spokesperson for the Emergency Taskforce in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but had not received a response at the time of writing.}}; [https://archive.ph/MgEjn Human Rights Watch 5 March 2021]: {{tquote|Human Rights Watch provided its findings to Ethiopian and Eritrean government officials on February 18 but received no response.}}; {{tquote|While the lack of access to conflict areas has hindered reporting on the conflict, ...}} It's not very convincing to say that AI has just repeated TPLF propaganda; AI has been accused of serving in the federal Ethiopian government's interest in its report on the Mai Kadra massacre - the Amnesty and [[Ethiopian Human Rights Commission|EHRC]] reports (published so far) on the Mai Kadra massacre give very similar overviews of what happened. EHRC does have ''formal'' (legal) independence from the federal government, but (see the article), its resources (salaries, overall funding, other resources) are weak, and we don't have independent sources stating how independent the EHRC really is in practice from the federal government. The existence of the EHRC is certainly a good institutional part of federal Ethiopian structures: if it gains in respect as being independent and effective as a neutral human rights body, then it might gain in funding and other resources and contribute more in a complex human rights context. But EHRC has not yet published its report on the Aksum massacre, and it will very likely be criticised from at least some sides, and maybe by all sides, if it does its job properly. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 04:11, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Let's continue the discussion on the talkpage of EDF, I have many issues with EDF page. I am comparing the page to other DF military pages. The way the page is written and missing data or we confirm the data is in other articles. Adding everything from other articles will just make the page unreadable and confusing for other people to follow.[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 22:48, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The Tigray war data should not be repeated in the EDF article. The EDF page so far is biased against the EDF. You want to add more allegations against EDF, how does that even bring this page to NPOV?[[User:Facttell|Facttell]] ([[User talk:Facttell|talk]]) 04:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
:NPOV does not mean that we balance good and bad information about a topic; we make the NPOV balance reflect what the best sources say. For example, in the article on [[Figure of the Earth]], there are ''no'' direct links to [[Modern flat Earth beliefs]]; you have to first click on [[flat Earth]] for the overall historical development of flat Earth ideas, and go from there to the conspiracy theories. I'm not proposing to exclude official Eritrean government information from the EDF page, but under NPOV, there is no basis for excluding information from [[Amnesty International]] and [[Human Rights Watch]] and the [[Universal Periodic Review]] from the EDF page. Anyway, I agree to close this particular discussion on my talk page. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 11:47, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|25px|alt=|link=]]  It appears that you have been '''[[WP:Canvassing|canvassing]]'''—leaving messages on a biased choice of talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence [[:Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#RfC: Press TV on Saudi Arabian protests]]. While [[Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification|friendly notices]] are allowed, they should be '''limited''' and '''nonpartisan''' in distribution and should reflect a [[WP:NPOV|'''neutral''' point of view]]. Please do not post notices which are [[Wikipedia:Canvassing#Spamming and excessive cross-posting|indiscriminately cross-posted]], which espouse a certain [[Wikipedia:Canvassing#Campaigning|point of view]] or side of a debate, or which are [[Wikipedia:Canvassing#Votestacking|selectively sent]] only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

The article [[:Society for Development and Change]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''I can't find [[WP:SIGCOV]] of this organization in multiple RS. I see some trivial mentions in reliable sources, such as [[The Independent]], but I don't see multiple in-depth citations from reliable, independent sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Society for Development and Change|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> — [[User:Mikehawk10|Mikehawk10]] ([[User talk:Mikehawk10 |talk]]) 07:06, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

== Eritrea ==
Probably not enough for an SPI, given the time passed, but does {{diff|Talk:Eritrea|prev|737918879|this diff}} from 2016 sound familiar to you? [[User:BubbaJoe123456|BubbaJoe123456]] ([[User talk:BubbaJoe123456|talk]]) 15:22, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
:{{re|BubbaJoe123456}} Interesting. There are quite a few similarities in specific and general style and in topic, though my feeling is that there are also a few characteristic differences. This is just intuitive - I haven't tried using any proper statistical tools. {{u|Ponyo}} picked up some SPs last time around when I failed to be sufficiently sceptical.

==Vandalism of page on Menelik II==
Hello, I am in dispute with another editor [[User_talk:Mooproop1#Vandalism_and_discriminatory_speech]]. This regards the page [[Menelik II]]. Would you look into the matter and advise? [[User:Rastakwere|Rastakwere]] ([[User talk:Rastakwere|talk]]) 05:08, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
:{{re|Rastakwere}} Each of us has limited experience, and the context of the Tigray genocide is the wider context of hate speech being encouraged in Ethiopia. The assumption of Wikipedia since two decades ago is that [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]] and giving people a chance to learn is not just a matter of idealism, but it can work in practice, especially when there are many third-party people checking the full record of what's going on. But third-party people need evidence. Mooproop1 may not have been aware of the concept of [[hate speech]] and the fact that it's unacceptable and that hate speech ''itself'' plays a role in the [[ten stages of genocide]]. I've {{diff|List of ethnic slurs|1050184903|1049981383|added ''Galla''}} to the [[List of ethnic slurs#G]] page so that people unfamiliar with the term can understand that it's offensive. I also warned Mooproop1 on his/her talk page. While it can be difficult to assume good faith, you could try starting a section at [[Talk:Menelik II]] and asking Mooproop1 to justify why s/he thinks that the sources are invalid. (BTW: the link for the user's contributions is [[Special:Contributions/Mooproop1]]). You could consider a [[WP:3RR]] warning if the user continues rapidly removing well-sourced material and/or using hate speech in edit summaries. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 09:30, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

::THis Rastawarke guy keeps putting fake oromo news on the menelik page about aanollee without citing any reputable sources. Can you warn or ban them as they are spreading hate. I've provided my sources and yet he keep reverting it back <ref> https://zehabesha.com/delusion-of-oromo-and-pseudohistorical-of-emperor-menelik/</ref><ref>https://borkena.com/2019/06/13/settler-colonialism-the-oromo-extremist-narrative-getaneh-yismaw/</ref> <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mooproop1|Mooproop1]] ([[User talk:Mooproop1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mooproop1|contribs]]) 23:42, 16 October 2021 (UTC)</span>

:::{{re|Mooproop1}} I have started a [[Talk:Menelik_II#Aanolee_massacre|talk page section]] where you, Rastakwere, and others can discuss this editing dispute. Please read [[WP:AGF|the 'assume good faith' guideline]]. You need to assume that Rastakwere has checked the sources and believes that the text is justified by the sources, and you should not make claims that s/he is deliberately spreading hate. Please also read [[WP:TALK]] about editing talk pages. You should ''not'' delete material on someone else's talk page as {{diff|User talk:Boud|1050292187|1050188853|you did here on this talk page}}, and you should sign your comment with four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Focus on the content of the editing and the quality and content of the sources, rather than attacking other editors. The location for discussion should most reasonably be [[Talk:Menelik II#Aanolee massacre]]. Thanks. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 01:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

== Request for review ==
Hi there, I am writing you to ask whether you could help me with the review of the page [[European Partnership for Democracy]], on which I've been working on so that it fits with the community standards. I would be grateful if your expertise could help me enhancing it again, if it needs to, or if you could validate the publication. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

== Follow up on your comments ==
Hi Boud, thank you very much for having taken the time to answer me in the talk page of [[European Partnership for Democracy]]. I truly agree with your comments -- I've been trying to include the more external sources as possible, but unlike NED/IRI/NDI/USAID that you mentioned, the EPD is a network of NGOs relying on funding from various donors, mainly from the EU (The Secretariat support the actions of its members towards the EU institutions, both in terms of advocacy and fundraising). The only researchers that spoke about EPD are already included in the draft article. Find below some additonal sources that could help editing the article. At the EU level, EPD works in coalition with other European NGOs to work on democracy related issues of the EU - for example, recently by recommending actions on the EU Rule of Law report<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ifex.org/how-the-european-commission-can-improve-the-credibility-inclusiveness-and-impact-of-the-rule-of-law-report/}}</ref>, or co-organise events with various stakeholders such as policymakers and civil society<ref> {{cite web |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20200903STO86314/democracy-week-how-democracy-is-dealing-with-covid-19 |title= European Parliament, Democracy Week: How Democracy is deadlin with Covid 19?}}</ref>. Actions on the ground are mainly about civil society support (capacity building, helping advocacy coalitions etc) and depends on the funding opportunities (EPD answers to call for proposals to this extent) and cooperation between local CSOs and governmental authorities (for example, on issues related to media development in Kyrgyzstan<ref> {{cite web |url=https://internews.kg/glavnye-novosti/proekt-media-dialog-predlagaet-granty-dlya-smi-i-mediaorganizatsij-kyrgyzstana |title= Internews.kg, Glavnye Novosti, Proekt Media Dialog predlagaet granty dlya smi i mediaorganizatij Kyrgyzstana/}}</ref> through the project Media Dialogue. On the other hand, the approach to policy dialogue promoted by EPD (through advocacy and project) is inclusive and participatory (see a recently published paper<ref> {{cite web |url=https://epd.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/sense-and-sensibility-policy-paper.pdf |title= Sense and Sensitivity, Policy Paper, EPD}}</ref> on the topic that seeks to frame policy dialogue methodogolies in international cooperation). To further answer specifically on your questions, EPD's view on digital democracy is to have democratic principles in the digital sphere, including in the rules that govern the online public sphere. EPD supports open data (through the Charter Project Africa<ref> {{cite web |website=https://goreeinstitut.org/nos-programmes/the-charter-project-africa/ |title= Goree Institute, The Charter Project Africa}}</ref>), advocates for transparency in paid add advertising (through research and advocacy<ref> {{cite web |website=https://epd.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Virtual-Insanity-synthesis-of-findings-on-digital-political-advertising-EPD-03-2020.pdf |title= Virtual Insanity: Synthesis of findings on digital political advertising, EPD}}</ref>) to give a few examples. I did not thought of including these information before because I understood Wikipedia article standarts as primarly focused on dictionnary-like information (general and not anecdotic information to keep the article short and concise).

Best regards, 
[[User:Coffeebreak12|Coffeebreak12]] 14:56, 24 November 2021 (CET)

:hi again {{u|Coffeebreak12}}. You were probably right to put this reply on my user talk page, since to some degree it's a discussion between you and I about what's relevant, and risked being a bit distracting to others. However, the list of references itself probably could have been put directly on the EPD talk page, since more people will be interested in checking the URLs themselves and judging if they have notable information in them. In some sense, a raw list of URLs is more neutral for someone in your situation than a full discussion, because you let the others decide what they see as notable information in them, rather than debating which of my questions are the most relevant. Of course, in that case you would not have had your response directly linked to the references. In any case, no harm done. :){{pb}}By the way, if you use <nowiki><ref>...</ref></nowiki> structures on a talk page, better put <nowiki>{{reflist-talk}}</nowiki> within the same section so that the references remain in the section; otherwise, they will slide to the bottom of the page each time a new section is started. You can do an "edit" of this page and then cancel without saving to see how I've done it here.{{pb}}As for "dictionary-like, general, not anecdotic" information: it's true that anecdotes don't constitute general knowledge. However, concrete, well-sourced information tends to be better accepted by Wikipedians than more abstract general claims that require a lot more judgment and interpretation, and have to have good sources to avoid [[WP:SYNTHESIS]]. Until academics publish peer-reviewed information on a topic, overviews tend to be [[WP:OR|risky]] and have to be limited to summaries.

Hi again {{u|Boud}} ! Thank you for your mentoring in this process -- I've included into <nowiki>{{reflist-talk}}</nowiki> my references, I hope it helps. I understand that it's relevant to provide these links to editors -- thank you by the way to redirect potentiel editors from the page of Talk Page of EPD to yours. I've been kind of struggling making it right for the past weeks, and I am really thankful for your help in this review/approval process. I mainly aim at updating the information because the current page is really out to date and provides for inacurate information. It's very interesting though to participate in the Wiki community and to get familiar with writing standards and address to one another -- a full new world for me. I remain at your disposal to provide you with any information on my edits' proposals, if any. 
Best, [[User:Coffeebreak12|Coffeebreak12]] 17:36, 24 November 2021 (CET)

Hi again {{u|Boud}}  I hope this message finds you well. I really appreciate that you started to review my changes in the page of EPD and I hope that other editors will continue reviewing my change. For the sake of love to academia and definitions, I just would like to build on your comment in the edit histoiry, saying that we should prefer the use of "democracy promotion" rather than "democracy support" -- which is a page that does not exist and is not a wide concept in your view. First, please note that in the page of [[Democracy promotion]], it's written "can also be referred to as democracy assistance, democracy support". We at EPD use the word democracy support, because this wording defines our work more than "democracy promotion". Democracy support is a bottom up movement building on the needs of civil society in the ground, joint contextual analsysis and shared objectives. On the other hand, "democracy promotion" is connoted with the idea of an external support and influence coming from a third party regardless of policies and programmes ownership on the ground. Many international organisations such as the [[OECD]]<ref>{{reflist-talk}}{{cite web |url=https://www.oecd.org/derec/norway/48085855.pdf}}</ref> or the [[European Parliament]]<ref>{{reflist-talk}}{{cite web |url=https://www.europarl.europa.eu/globaldemocracysupport/en/home/home}}</ref> speak of the field with the term of "democracy support". Thanks for the discussion, hope it's interesting for you. 
Best, 
[[User:Coffeebreak12|Coffeebreak12]] 17:31, 30 November 2021 (CET)


Hi there {{u|Boud}}, thanks for the discussion on the talk page of [[Democracy promotion]]. I would like to raise something in relation to your change in the page of EPD - you put between quotation marks the word "partnerships", to deal with the work in EU partners country. I am not sure that it is the best way to convey this idea, because it may imply irony and self denomination while it's not the case in fact. When 'EU partners countries' are named as such, it means that the actions implemented in these countries is within the framework of agreements and partnerships between the EU and third countries. For example, with the [[Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States]], and [[Eastern Partnership]] countries, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Union#Foreign_relations]], [[Armenia-EU Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement]]. These imply joint agenda and establishment of funding priorities, hence I think you can probably remove the quotation mark. 

To continue our discussion on the distinction between democracy support and promotion, these frameworks establish win-win relationships - unlike the negative history of the understanding of "democracy promotion" may imply (e.g. Iraq) 

Best, 
[[User:Coffeebreak12|Coffeebreak12]] 10:35, 1 December 2021 (CET)

:The quotes are indeed risky, because they risk being [[scare quotes]]. I had assumed that this was jargon rather than well-defined terminology, but [[partnership]] does seem to define the word, so I put that instead as a Wikipedia intrawikilink. {{done}} As for the question of whether the partnerships and democracy support within them are genuinely win-win relationships or not, from a Wikipedia point of view, that's up to third-party sources to judge.

== url-status versus url-access ==

(If you already know this tip, then skip over it.) I notice that you like to add archive.org/web links to citations. One request that I have is that ''if'' you are making up a citation to a website that requires a subscription to read the article (nytimes.com and independent.co.uk come to mind; though I don't recall you using those two much) that instead of using <nowiki>|url-status=live</nowiki> you instead use <nowiki>|url-access=subscription</nowiki>. When Wikipedia displays the citation, it will offer up the archived version first. Usually the archive version will access the entire article without needing a subscription. (I don't know why; maybe they have agreements with Internet Archive.) Anyway, it's something to keep an eye out for. I rarely add archived links to live pages, but I ''always'' do this for New York Times citations (because otherwise I cannot read the article).

Also, thank you for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Famine_in_the_Tigray_War&diff=prev&oldid=1057339321 removing] a "the" in front of a university name. I have long since noticed that most Americans obsessively add "the" in front of just about everything, even when it isn't necessary. [[User:Platonk|Platonk]] ([[User talk:Platonk|talk]]) 04:57, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

:Hi {{re|Platonk}} I have no objections to adding ''url-access=subscription'' to articles that are paywalled, but I prefer to do this ''in addition'' to the ''url-status=live'' and archive for the article.{{pb}}However, I don't think it's justified for me to add ''url-access=subscription'' for a reference for which I have no evidence about the paywalling. The paywall-blocking mechanisms are apparently quite sensitive to what sort of javascript or cookies or browser parameters are set in the user's browser (including geolocation info, for example). If someone else allows some cookies or third-party javascript and finds that the page is paywalled as a result of that, then I think it's up to him/her to add the ''url-access=subscription'' tag.{{pb}}The reason for archiving ''all'' sources, including live pages, is that the world-wide-web is volatile. In the early part of the web epoch, even a few mainstream Western media switched their web server software without putting in redirects to old URLs - after all, for a serious newspaper to have web pages at all was quite radical - and the old pages either disappeared completely or became quite difficult to find. Archiving provides, to some degree, an increased confidence in having a long-term record of the source by a more-or-less independent web archiver (see [[digital preservation]], for example).

:: I didn't realize those two parameters could reside simulataneously. I thought I got an error message when I tried that before, indicating they were mutually exclusive, but I could be wrong. No matter.

:: I agree about how volatile some links are. I also read somewhere that Internet Archive and Wikipedia work together in that when you add a link to an article in Wikipedia, within a short period of time IA sees that and archives the link. I don't think IA did years ago, but I've seen this behavior somewhat. For example, I'm looking for an archive link to add to a WP article and I find that the IA archiving started shortly after someone added the original URL to the WP article (which could be months or years after the source article was published). So that confirmed for me that IA and WP were cooperating. I've seen someone else being scolded for adding too many archived link (on the basis that it bloated a large article, maybe?); didn't know if it was some sort of unwritten rule. So I don't routinely add them, but I don't object to others doing so.

:: Yes, of course you wouldn't add url-access=subscription if you didn't know there's a paywall. Most people don't even know there's that parameter, though, and you're the only editor I've seen who ''routinely'' adds IA links. I'm always annoyed when people who have subscriptions to NYTimes add links that then I cannot read. I have to copy the link, open IA, paste the link, select a version, open the IA copy (slow website, that), then decide if I want to add the link to the WP article or not. And that's just to read something I was interested in (because I do use WP for my own interests, even if I'm not in an editing mood). Well, I guess I should be greatful to at least have a workaround to getting an NYT subscription. 

:: Thanks for the reminder about how those sites determine whether or not to block readers. I can imagine geolocation being used by some websites. There's a small local newspaper that uses cookies and people are always complaining on Facebook they can't read it; all they have to do is delete their cookies and they'll get to access another few articles for free.

{{od}}
Nonsense. I'm not going to discuss or argue the [[WP:Systemic bias]] essay with you because this isn't about the other editor's edit, it is about how you handled yourself in this situation, causing me and another editor to get involved to deal with it.

Recap: You made a change to a decade-old redirect to co-opt it into a disambiguation page with a flimsy edit summary. An editor with 10-times your edit experience reverts it. That is considered a challenge to your edit. But instead of you following [[WP:BRD]] advice ({{tq|"Discuss the contribution, and the reasons for the contribution, on the article's talk page with the person who reverted your contribution. Don't restore your changes or engage in back-and-forth reverting."}}) you ''escalate'' the situation by reverting them with a snide edit summary. They respond by reverting you with a matching sarcastic edit summary, you revert them and this time you demand ''she'' explain herself instead of you explaining yourself. She doesn't return to explain or answer you, but you're not done with her yet. You then post your invectives on both [[Special:Diff/1059013860|Talk:Tigray War]] and [[Special:diff/1059013272|Talk:EHRC]]. You express yourself like a tantrum, call her reverts "racist", suggest she is from some "rich country" and her act of reverting your edit was "a pure case of [such] bias".

At that point you were no closer to understanding why she reverted your original edit, and despite your tirade — which was disturbing to read even though it wasn't directed at me — I offered you a perfectly logical explanation of that editor's actions that indicated no bias on their part.

So yes, you were assuming bad faith of her edits, insulting her personally, and showing ''your'' contempt for your fellow editor who ''you'' perceive as different from yourself. No, Boud, you weren't [[WP:FOC|focusing on content]] but on that editor's person, because you were making assumptions about that editor's ''background'' and ''intentions''.

This wasn't the first time you used these insults. The last time I recall [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard&diff=1056640290&oldid=1056638538 you using these sorts of terms] was in the RSN about tghat.com just two weeks ago, but I know I've read them elsewhere, too, in the last month. I wasn't able to find them yet, but in my searching I discovered other discussions as far back as the mid-2000s complaining about how you were inappropriately bandying about the term or concepts of "racist" and "bias". I highly suggest you check your personal POV at the door before entering Wikipedia editor space. And please refresh your understanding of [[WP:Civility]] and [[WP:PA]] to see how in the future you could contribute to a more pleasant editing environment within Wikipedia.

:{{tq|You made a change to a decade-old redirect to co-opt it into a disambiguation page with a flimsy edit summary.}} I disagree with "flimsy". The edit summary was just one word, but I saw no reason for there to be any controversy about switching to a disambiguation page. An edit summary does not need to be detailed if the reason is clear.
:{{tq|10-times your edit experience}} [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Unreal7 Unreal7] vs [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Boud Boud]. 10 times my number of edits, true, and 47 edits per day, compared to my 3 edits per day. Less experience than me in terms of years editing. Typically smaller edits: mean edit size 132 bytes, vs me at 434 bytes.
:{{tq|you ''escalate'' the situation by reverting them}} An experienced editor can make a mistake, especially one who edits on average 47 times a day; reverting a mistake is not an escalation. I can make mistakes too, of course.
:{{tq|with a snide edit summary}} There is nothing [[:wikt:snide|snide]] in ''"this is a world encyclopedia, not the UK encyclopedia"''. That is ''your'' interpretation of my brief description of [[WP:BIAS|statistical demographic bias]] in the context of the particular article being edited. The bias is well-known and there's no easy or magic solution. Here you are violating WP:AGF by adding your misinterpretation of my comment.
:{{tq|They respond by reverting you with a matching sarcastic edit summary,}} I fail to see any sarcasm in ''"It's not the Ethiopian one either. This is a two dabs situation."'' The first sentence is clear: it's a fair comment that this is not the ET.encyclopedia. The second sentence is unclear: there's no disambiguation policy that I could find that forbids having a disambiguation page point to two articles, in a situation with no obvious justification for one being the "main" article, and where either could reasonably be the article that the reader is looking for.
:{{tq|you demand ''she'' explain herself instead of you explaining yourself.}} I made a guess as to the likely outcome of consensus and opened up a discussion, inviting Unreal7 to participate if she wished to.
:{{tq|post your invectives}} I do not see any [[:wikt:invective|invective]] in my comments; ''"repeated attempts"'' seems objective to me - where is the inaccuracy? The references to WP:BIAS and the main argument for having a disambiguation page are as above - the statistical bias is known and documented. It doesn't imply anything about the particular editor. The adjective [[:wikt:racist#Adjective|racist]] is, per Wiktionary, ''"1. Constituting, exhibiting, advocating or pertaining to racism"'' or ''"2. Discriminatory."''. This does '''not''' say anything about intentions. It's about behaviour as part of a statistical pattern by many people. The link was to the page on the statistical behaviour by large groups of editors. It said and implied nothing about intentions. Obviously, there are contexts in which "racist" refers to claims of intentional behaviour, but there's no hint of that at [[WP:BIAS]].
:{{tq|So yes, you were assuming bad faith of her edits, insulting her personally,}} No, that's a false statement. I only described her edits as being consistent with a statistical pattern of the Wikipedia editor community in general. There were no personal insults against her.
:{{tq|you were making assumptions about that editor's ''background'' and ''intentions''.}} No. I now see what Unreal7 says briefly about her background, and I have no reason to doubt that. At the time, I had no idea what her background was, and I made no assumption about her background; I only saw the editing events. I made no statement and implied nothing about her ''intentions'' or her ''background''.
:I think the core misunderstanding here is about [[WP:BIAS]] as a [[statistics|statistical]] [[demography|demographic]] phenomenon. It doesn't imply bad intentions by individuals.

:*[[WP:CIVIL]]. Yes, I would suggest that you read it too. Claiming that I had bad intentions and was {{tq|snide}} and used {{tq|invectives}} in my comments is a matter of your ''interpretation'', i.e. these are ''hypotheses'' from your side, they don't look like attempts at clarification: ''"[[Wikipedia:Civility#Dealing_with_incivility|First of all, consider whether you and the other editor may simply have misunderstood each other. Clarify, and ask for clarification.]]"''
:* [[Wikipedia:Civility#Apologising: It's OK to say sorry]]. True. {{diff|User talk:Unreal7|1059061201|1057509561|An example.}}

== Creating Kazakh unrest or uprising redirect ==

Hello, Boud. I seen in your [[WP:RM]] on talk page that you have purposed moving the page from [[2022 Kazakh protests]] to [[2022 Kazakh uprising]], but there are clearly two arguments whether the page moved or not was divided into two sides supporting only one word, someone supporting "uprising", including you as nominator, and others who supporting page move as [[2022 Kazakh unrest]].

The pages you want to purpose to move have not yet created (redlink), so why not creating redirect pages ([[2022 Kazakh uprising]] and [[2022 Kazakh unrest]]) in anticipation of page move consensus? [[Special:Contributions/125.167.59.48|125.167.59.48]] ([[User talk:125.167.59.48|talk]]) 00:43, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

:A good reason not to create them (yet) is technical, to avoid creating extra work. If a page Y already exists, then page X cannot be moved to Y. The technical operation of a "move" is to keep all the editing history (and talk page) the same - only the name is changed, from X to Y. But if page Y already exists (as a redirect), then extra technical help is needed to first delete page Y, and then carry out the page move from X to Y. See [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Reasons for deleting]] for more discussion. After an uninvolved person has closed the discussion and (depending on the result) made the page move, then making redirects will be reasonable.

== Geographical bias of sources ==

{{re|Dunutubble|RandomCanadian|ObsidianPotato|Intralexical}} Following the closed discussion at the Bucha massacre talk page, there remains a fundamental difficulty, though I don't see it affecting that particular page. For Bucha massacre, we already have 5 Russian references (3 reliable, 2 unreliable; and 4 Middle Eastern (reliable)), and other ''specific'' "non-NATO" sources can be discussed there if their reliability is controversial.{{pb}}The ''broader question'' is that there are ''purely statistical'' analyses that show systematic differences in the probability of publishing false data by government agencies from around the world.<ref name="Kobak2022" /> For example, the worse the [[Reporters Without Borders]] [[Press Freedom Index]] is for a country, the more statistically suspicious (on average) the country's [[COVID-19 pandemic]] daily infection count data are.<ref name="Roukema2021" /> The results are not purely NATO vs non-NATO, since Turkey is in the list of the countries with the most statistically dubious data, i.e. (depending on which of the two analyses you look at) Algeria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan.<ref name="Kobak2022" /><ref name="Roukema2021" /> See [[Wikipedia:Reliability of open government data]] for the question of how Wikipedia should handle open government data (typically, numerical data), which, in principle, should be less subject to political interference, as opposed to news type information, which is more likely to be affected by political interference. The peer-reviewed research papers listed here do their primary analysis based purely on the statistical properties of the data. The consequence of these analyses is that, unfortunately, there is a difficult-to-avoid playoff between favouring reliable sources versus minimising [[Geographical bias in Wikipedia|geographical bias]]. The countries whose mainstream media currently dominate en.Wikipedia are those with unsuspicious COVID-19 data; this makes it difficult to work against the existing geographical bias. And in [[Wikipedia:Reliability of open government data|the essay]], there's an open question for Wikipedia more specifically, especially for infoboxes - do we sufficiently well warn readers of the difference between official data and reliable data, especially in the case where official data is dubious? In what ways should or could we handle the specific case of official versus reliable data? Please edit the essay directly if you have any good ideas, where it will be more useful than here... [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 21:59, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

:{{re|Boud}} Thanks for the mention, and for the link to the article on geographical bias. Some time ago I was thinking that seemed like an important question to look into and cover; I'm glad there's already work being done. I started typing out some thoughts yesterday, and have now put those in a very much not-quite-fleshed-out state at [[Wikipedia:Reliability_of_open_government_data/Intralexical%27s_Response]]. Not putting anything in the main essay yet as I'm not sure if any of it counts as "good ideas", and I would want to put more thought into it and flesh it out more in any case. Not sure when or if that will happen, so also feel free to take from the draft if you see anything you like.

== ANI or AE? ==

Thank you for your comment [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Volunteer Marek's incivility and POV-pushing|here]], which looks helpful. I have a very vague idea about the differences between ANI and AE, and I had been wondering all the afternoon about the reason why Black Kite suggested that AE is the appropriate venue. Conciseness is not my main virtue but I think I can manage to summarise my main quarrels in 500 words. It won't be easy: it's a pattern (I argue) of incivility and tendentiousness, not a few edits. If you have any practical suggestion as to how to proceed, I'd be grateful. In any case (I imagine) it will be necessary to wait for the closure of that discussion at ANI - or am I wrong? [[User:Gitz6666|Gitz]] ([[User talk:Gitz6666|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Gitz6666|contribs]]) 22:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
:{{re|Gitz6666}} My guess is that [[Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard]] is a good place for the meta-question of how to withdraw your ANI complaint (I assume that's possible) so that you can open an AE request. Conciseness is often not easy, but without that, uninvolved people don't have the time to make any useful assessments. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
::Thank you for your reply. After a long thought and [[User talk:Alex Bakharev#ANI or AE?|this conversation]] with Alex Bakharev, I decided not to pursue the matter further. If in the future I will have new reasons for believing that Volunteer Marek doesn't comply with WP:CIV, WP:AGF and WP:DIS, I will follow your advise and raise the issue at AE. Best, [[User:Gitz6666|Gitz]] ([[User talk:Gitz6666|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Gitz6666|contribs]]) 12:59, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
:::{{re|Gitz6666}} For what it's worth, the cases I did at WP:AE are [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive282#Leechjoel9|this one]] and [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive288#Leechjoel9|this one]], both concerning the same user. I found the declaration of the result in the first case quite appalling: the admins (or at least the closer) didn't seem to have actually ''checked'' the match between claims and evidence by myself and the other editor, and the closer called my behaviour "substandard" and I was "cautioned to moderate" my behaviour (along with the other editor). My only reasonable interpretation is that the admins read the editor's claims without checking the evidence properly. This is possibly because it was difficult to understand the editor's behavioural problem without having sufficient understanding of the editorial conflict. In the second case, an admin at least gave me the chance to explain to him/her how to check the validity of the troublesome editor's claims. So despite my huge investment of time and patience, and presentation of evidence that the editor was repeatedly making false or misleading statements, which makes rational discussion extremely confusing and tiring, there were no formal sanctions against the editor.{{pb}}However, my huge investment of time (the whole process was several months for the first WP:AE + an RfC + the second WP:AE) did actually give results: the editor's behaviour became a bit more constrained after the first WP:AE, and one admin made one highly significant statement regarding a key content issue during the second WP:AE, which was enough to convince the editor that s/he would have to accept NPOV on that key content issue.{{pb}}The long-term (a year or so) effect seems to be stable in terms of Wikipedia content, but I admit that the effort was exhausting. It was concerned with the existence (around 2021) or non-existence of about 3 million people in a particular country (population 3 million versus population 6 million), so it was probably worth it for people interested in that part of knowledge. (Of course, if more, sufficiently experienced and patient editors with basic understanding of what distinguishes a good quality source of [[demography|demographic]] information from a low quality source had been involved, the issue would have ended up as NPOV in a few days instead of several months.) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 16:53, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
::::Thank you for sharing those links. Your past experiences are such as to moderate my most warlike spirits - I really don't want to go through all that! However, if there's a problem one needs to address it somehow, otherwise one becomes angry and rude in the long run, or just stops editing. Maybe one problem of that dispute of yours was that it required a relatively high level of technical expertise from the editors: consensus among uninformed people may be a problematic way of producing knowledge. At War crimes in Ukraine, on the other hand, everybody could in principle read the sources and express a meaningful view on how to best summarise their contents. In fact, I strongly believe that the best way for de-escalating that conflict would be to bring in more editors - I mean, editors who have a detached, objective approach to the subject, editors who at least try to have such an approach, and who could help containing the few vociferous ones that have an entirely different way of editing Wikipedia.

== Pokalchuk ==

Hi Boud. The DAB page [[Pokalchuk (disambiguation)]] is malplaced because DAB pages should be at the base name if there is no primary topic. If you don't object, I would like to move the contents to [[Pokalchuk]] and either keep it as a DAB page, or make it a surname page. What do you think? [[User:Leschnei|Leschnei]] ([[User talk:Leschnei|talk]]) 18:12, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
:{{re|Leschnei}} Go ahead either way, shifting to [[Pokalchuk]] as either a DAB or a surname page. I did actually suspect that I did this the wrong way around - I scanned through WP:DISAMBIG too rapidly... Thanks in advance for the cleanup. :) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 18:18, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

== Your edit war in [[Tabassum movement]] ==

Boud, I suggest you to stop your unreasonable edit war ([[WP:EDITWAR]]) against me in the article "Tabassum movement". Even if you're the major contributor to this article, it doesn't mean the article belongs only to you and other Wikipedia users need your permission to edit the article.

Your argument that putting all refs into Reflist is somehow much more "legible" and "easy to edit" doesn't hold water at all, because most of Wikipedia articles don't use your put-all-refs-into-Reflist format (use '''[[WP:VisualEditor]]''' instead of waging edit wars). You can put all refs into Reflist again, '''I don't mind it'''. However, if you continue to revert the whole edit ('''[[Special:Diff/1136737971|diff]]''') because of your individual (and, IMO, debatable) preferences, then you leave me no choice but to ask Wikipedia administrators to be involved in this case.

I repeat again: the majority of Wikipedia articles don't use your "legible" and "easy-to-edit" way of putting all refs into Reflist. Don't use it as an excuse for edit warring. [[User:Russian Rocky|Russian Rocky]] ([[User talk:Russian Rocky|talk]]) 18:53, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

:Majoritarianism is not an argument. There is no consensus implying that anyone should use VisualEditor.{{pb}}Editing that respects the work of other editors generally makes changes that can be reasonably easily checked using the differencing functions on the wiki source provided by [[MediaWiki]] software. Your shifting of the references into the main body and renaming the labels made any changes you made in sentence and paragraph structure hidden by the shifting of the references.{{pb}}I'm sorry if my edit reversed some of your content changes, but those were camouflaged by your shifting of the references. If you want to use something like VisualEditor, then better use it in a way in which your changes are still easy to see if you want to avoid someone misinterpreting an edit like you seem to have done in this case. Your edit overwhelmingly looked like shifting references into the body, making any content changes difficult to see. If there is no option in VisualEditor to keep the references in the references section, then propose a wishlist item for VisualEditor to be fixed. People who use VisualEditor have to take responsibility for any damage done using it.{{pb}}In fact, it appears that {{diff|Tabassum movement|1137117310|1094116045|what appear to be your changes to the content}} look useful but only concern ''a few dozen bytes'' of wiki source. Let us not confuse the two different issues. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:25, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

:It would be best to go to [[Talk:Tabassum movement#Trying to preserve edits by Russian Rocky]] {{s|if you feel that the swaps you made between the NYT references are correct. I've left them in place to allow for discussion:}} my matching of source to content might be wrong. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:03, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
::Boud, there is no "put all refs into Reflist and no other way" consensus either. It's definitely not a good reason for edit warring and calling names as if you know better than others what is and what isn't "more illegible and difficult to edit". Just because you ''personally'' prefer putting all refs into Reflist, it does NOT mean that it's more "legible" and "easy to edit" for others. And this isn't just about the article's size. <u>You make it impossible for other editors to edit references in the "Section" mode.</u> Because you put all refs into Reflist, other editors need to edit the whole text. It's a nightmare when an article is long. 
::And what damage are you talking about? You reverted the whole edit because you ''personally'' prefer putting all refs into Reflist. You literally said it in your edit summary, calling it your "bibliography". I didn't try to camouflage anything as you claim. I added categories, wikilinks, improved references (added author-links, dates, used proper cite templates, etc). I didn't know that touching your so-called "bibliography" in Reflist, which is visible only in the "Source editing" mode, would provoke you.
::You've said "respect the work of other editors", but I've noticed that you arbitrarily put refs into Reflist in almost every article you edit ([[Special:Diff/1134650485|diff1]], [[Special:Diff/1134630161|diff2]], [[Special:Diff/1131886981|diff3]], [[Special:Diff/1131578957|diff4]], [[Special:Diff/1130596115|diff5]], etc). What will happen if someone arbitrarily shifts another "bibliography" of yours into article text? Another edit war?
::Sorry, I don't really get it. You tell other editors how to edit your article, but you yourself edit other editors' articles as you like.--[[User:Russian Rocky|Russian Rocky]] ([[User talk:Russian Rocky|talk]]) 06:36, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
:::{{tq|impossible for other editors to edit references in the "Section" mode ... other editors need to edit the whole text}}: incorrect: the technique is to edit in a modular way: one edit to the body section, then one edit to the references section.{{pb}}There is no edit war; {{s|your four errors in ''[[WP:VERIFIABILITY|matching content to sources]]'' have been corrected by another editor after I pointed them out; and you have restored your updates to the details of the references.}} We appear to have converged.{{pb}}Thanks for the cooperation.

== BLP notice ==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, I'm [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]]. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a [[Help:Referencing for beginners|citation to a reliable source]]. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|how we write about living people]], so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:ElKevbo|my talk page]]. Thank you! <!-- Template:uw-biog1 --> [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 22:29, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
:{{re|ElKevbo}} Which edit? [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:32, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::You've recently made a few edits accusing someone of plagiarism. [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 22:35, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
:::I made some talk page edits showing text matches, with sources. I comment that they appear to be plagiarism, using the well-accepted definitions that do not require interpretation, and ask if there are external sources, since these are prominent people so the existence of external sources is likely. So I think what you're trying to say is not that you've reverted some of my edits, since at least at the time of {{diff|User talk:Boud|prev|1149547625}}, you had not reverted any of my edits, but instead that you're worried that those edits violate our BLP policy. Is that what you're trying to say? [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)  Adding ping: {{re|ElKevbo}}. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:42, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::::Yes. I haven't reverted the edits because I've asked administrators to delete them entirely so they're not visible in the edit histories; that's our typical approach for edits are serious violations of BLP. [[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 22:52, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::So where's the discussion? Are you claiming that the discussion has to be offline to protection the reputations of those two people? While BLP applies to talk pages as well as article pages, the context is different. I understand your motivation, but this is not like accusing someone of rape or murder without sources - while copy/pasting without attribution is seen negatively, in this case there were sources show the exact copy/pastes. In any case, it would nice to be able to participate in the discussion rather than have this happen behind closed doors. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)  Sorry, forgot to ping: {{re|ElKevbo}} . [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{re|ElKevbo}} If there's a Libera irc channel to discuss this, given that some info may need to stay non-public, I could join now. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:09, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{re|ElKevbo}} Just to make things clear: I'm happy to go by whatever the consensus is, but so far I'm not convinced by "serious violations of BLP". Obviously, it's tricky to discuss details if the final decision is that they are BLP violations, because then this meta-discussion would have to be deleted. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:19, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
::::::{{re|ElKevbo}} Whether copy/pastes are interpreted negatively or not is a matter of interpretation. The current state for the [[Ursula von der Leyen#Plagiarism accusations]], for example, seems to be that the copy/pastes themselves are undisputed - the disagreement is about whether they are ethically acceptable or not. I'm not convinced that my brief comments risk convincing anyone to make interpretations of intentions one way or the other. Anyway, I'd be happy to chat over irc with BLP admins for off-the-record discussion. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:37, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
:::::::{{done}} Seems like case closed. Sorry for people wishing to read details, but BLP issues cannot always be discussed on-wiki. In any case, while the initial comment above was a standard template, leading to confusion, the bottom line is that there was a de facto consensus. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 22:26, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

:If you look through the full set of comments on the initial RfC, I think that you will find [[:wikt:complaint|complaints]].

:::Fair point.

==Refseek==
{{ping|Boud}} How goes it? Hi I saw your RFC at [[WP:VPR]]. I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I always thought the recent limitations of google, along with the "Don't do evil" thing which went went up in smoke 2008-2009 is a good reason not to exclusively indicate its use at the {{tq|find sources}} template. I started using [https://www.refseek.com/] which should be on the list. Its a much more academically orientated search engine. There is specialised search engines that don't see the light of day on here. I would also like to see archives on it, for example archives.org. What is current state of the RFC. It seems a bit chaotic. It looks as though its being reformed?  '''<span style="text-shadow:7px 7px 8px black; font-family:Papyrus">[[User:scope_creep|<span style="color:#3399ff">scope_creep</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:scope_creep#top|Talk]]</sup></span>''' 16:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
:{{re|scope creep}} I took a break for a few days with the hope of depersonalising the discussion away from focussing on me personally. I'm about to have a look at what progress has been made about seeing if there's consensus on what the format of the RfC itself should be...{{pb}}As for [[Refseek]] itself, it doesn't (yet?) seem to be Wikipedia-notable, and the ''About'' and ''Contact'' pages give no hint about who organises it or how it's run. [https://www.refseek.com/site/terms 7.i of Terms of Use] hints that there's a relation to [[Princeton University]], but in any case, independent [[WP:RS]] would be needed. I do see [https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02763877.2013.755440 at least one academic source] and [https://opnxng.com/search?q=refseek&language=all&time_range=&safesearch=0&categories=science some others], so it might be Wikipedia-notable. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 18:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
::: I never thought about those aspects. I'm still on surface I guess. I never bothered looking to see who ran it. I've found it quite useful and seems to find stuff that Google doesn't care to share. It will be interested to see how you get on. I've been wanted to change that template for more than a decade. There seems to be quite a few of these new search engines. I don't mind mucking in to create new articles on any of this stuff,  assuming its notable to advance your project.

::::A Wikipedia article would be useful no matter the outcome of the current discussions. What's interesting here is that you say that you more or less agree with me, but one of my points is at the meta-level: what do we know about how we know things? or what do we know about how we find out about how we find out about things? We, as a community, should be able to do better than our own anecdotal experience. The word "notable" is now removed (not by me) from my userspace draft of the RfC - which makes Refseek now "eligible" (per the wording of the question) despite not being notable. Personally, I would consider Refseek ineligible until we at least have a viable Wikipedia article on it. Anyway, I'm about to check the VP discussion ...

== ICC ==
Hi Boud! Thank you for your additions. Unfortunately I don't understand "reflist talk" or "Please add further discussion within this section above this 'reflist-talk' line". Do you want me to add something?

I tried to read [[WP:ARBECR]], but I failed to unterstand it. What's that about "non EC editors may only file edit requests in AI/IP topic area"? Cheers, [[Special:Contributions/93.211.218.228|93.211.218.228]] ([[User talk:93.211.218.228|talk]]) 22:53, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

:On the first point, no, there's nothing particular you need to do with the 'reflist talk'. You can see {{t|reflist-talk}} to see a longer version of the "hidden comment" meant to explain the role of the template. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

:On the second point, you are (in this role, at least) an IP user, so you count as a "non-EC" editor. That means that in principle, even on the talk page [[Talk:International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine]] you're not supposed to "discuss the topic". I haven't followed the degree to which these rules are implemented in practice. While the talk pages are, in principle, only supposed to deal with discussing edits to an article, in general it's not always possible to discuss edits without discussing the topic itself, and what is known about the topic, how reliable sources are, and so on. The risk is that on sensitive topics like this, inexperienced editors risk seeing the talk page as a [[WP:NOTFORUM|forum]], or a lot of energy needs to be invested in explaining well-evolved Wikipedia guidelines. Maybe {{u|Selfstudier}} could add a comment here if my explanation is unclear, or if there's not enough explanation at [[WP:CTOP]]. I think that if you stick to focussing on [[WP:MAKINGEREQ|requests to edit]] nobody will object. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 23:15, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
:+1 on the last sentence, that's the essence of [[WP:ARBECR]]. I usually give more detailed explanations to new users but not to IPs, sorry about that, it doesn't say anything about you personally. [[User:Selfstudier|Selfstudier]] ([[User talk:Selfstudier|talk]]) 23:22, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

::Aha, Thanks to both of you! Most of the time I/IPs are allowed to start a request. (Open systems make [[Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living|autopoiesis]]. Closed systems die.) --[[Special:Contributions/93.211.218.228|93.211.218.228]] ([[User talk:93.211.218.228|talk]]) 23:34, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

== Copyvio? ==

I have been editing on WP for a long time now and I know what a copyio is. Making pointy and irrelevant edits is not a good look, suggest you desist. I will ignore, this time, that you also breached the 1R rule, removing the fact that the court did not comment twice. [[User:Selfstudier|Selfstudier]] ([[User talk:Selfstudier|talk]]) 22:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
: Thanks for the alert about 1R - technically you're right, even though it was about removing non-information, which I hadn't thought was particularly sensitive. To be careful, {{diff|International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine|prev|1221490177|I've self-reverted}}.{{pb}}The [https://web.archive.org/web/20240430071538/https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/29/icc-possible-war-crimes-charges-israel-hamas-g7 source (The Guardian)] says {{tq|The ICC has not commented officially and has advised diplomats that it is not aware of any dramatic moves in the investigation.}} and {{diff|International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine|prev|1221419912|your edit}} added {{tq|The court has not commented officially and has advised diplomats that it is not aware of any dramatic moves in the investigation.}} That is clearly a copyright violation. Changing "ICC" to "court" or [[WP:PARAPHRASE|paraphrasing]] does not make a copyvio into a non-copyvio. The legal risk was low, because it was only one sentence, but it was still a copyvio. The information in the edit description linking to [[WP:COPYVIO]] is for all people who check the edit history, not just you personally.{{pb}}To clarify other reasons for {{diff|International Criminal Court investigation in Palestine|prev|1221421676|the edit}}, apart from the fact that the second sentence was a copyvio: [[WP:RELTIME]] was a problem; "not aware of any dramatic moves" is too vague for Wikivoice; whether Japan counts as [[Western world#Modern definitions]] is definition-dependent - the source does not say which particular G7 members attempted to influence the judges of the ICC; we don't know if the G7 diplomats are genuinely worried about disrupting ceasefire talks, so "for fear" risks talking about the diplomats' genuine thoughts (which we cannot know) rather than their statements - it's safer to say that that's the argument they presented, no matter whether they believed it or not - {{tq|amid concerns that such a move could disrupt the chances of a breakthrough in ceasefire talks}} is ambiguous about who has the concerns, it could be either "everybody" (implicit generally accepted knowledge) or it could be these particular diplomats who have the concerns.

== Introduction to contentious topics ==
{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text  = You have recently edited a page related to '''the [[Arab–Israeli conflict]]''', a topic designated as '''[[WP:AC/CT|contentious]]'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

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, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. 

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully</strong> and <strong>constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
*adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
*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>Additionally, you must be logged-in, have [[WP:ECR|500 edits and an account age of 30 days]], and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.</p><p>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 [[WT:AC/C|arbitration clerks' noticeboard]] or you may learn more about this contentious topic [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles|here]]. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template.  </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> [[User:Selfstudier|Selfstudier]] ([[User talk:Selfstudier|talk]]) 22:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

For getting the ICJ case into wikinews. Well done. [[User:Nishidani|Nishidani]] ([[User talk:Nishidani|talk]]) 11:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
:{{re|Nishidani}} You actually did most of the work, but thanks anyway. BTW, I think it's risky to say "wikinews" for [[WP:ITN]], since [[Wikinews]] exists. (I don't see much point in Wikinews, especially since the culture there is opposed to inline sourcing, and long-term, integrated encyclopedic knowledge is a lot more useful than summarising hot-off-the-press mainstream media reports, which probably give us as much info about the [[propaganda model|main model of Western media]] as about events in the world itself ... Though apparently ru.wikinews is very active - maybe it serves a useful purpose, given the particular situation?) [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 15:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

== Malalai Joya ==

Hi. In the article 'Malalai Joya', you changed the title of the section 'Current condition' to 'Islamic Republic'. What was your intended meaning behind this change?

The edit in question: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Malalai_Joya&diff=next&oldid=1096644281] --[[User:AdamM|AdamM]] ([[User talk:AdamM|talk]]) 12:01, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

:{{re|AdamM}} There's no guarantee that any Wikipedia article will be kept up to date. In practice, I have personally seen many articles e.g. from the mid 2000s writing about what's happening "now" or "currently", that sound suspiciously like they're neither "now" nor "current" in the normal sense of the words. The reader cannot make sense of these without investigating the process of writing the article, finding out when the text was added. We should not force the reader to have to guess when an article was written. There's a standard explanation of this at [[WP:RELTIME]].{{pb}}But I see that my edit was messed up (thanks for spotting that!): the Taliban pseudo-government is the ''Islamic Emirate'', not the ''Islamic Republic''.  My ''intention'' was to describe the epoch in a generally NPOV way, and to separate that sentence from the previous section, ''Announcement of political comeback'', since her actions during the Taliban-2.0 epoch in Afghanistan are not really part of an announcement of a political comeback - they're a reaction to the takeover of the country by the Taliban. There might be a better section title, especially since Joya has lived through both the Islamic Emirate epochs. The idea is to have a section title (and contents) that will still be valid if it happens that nobody makes any further edits to the article. So far there are only two sentences in the section - so alternatives for the section title could be something like "Post-Aug-2021" (but then the reader who knows less about dates will have to search for what is special about Aug 2021) or "Post 2021 fall-of-Kabul" (but that's a bit heavy). You can probably think of something better. I suggest that you [[WP:BEBOLD]] if you have a good idea, and further debate on this question could go on the talk page there so that anyone else interested in the article is more likely to see it. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud#top|talk]]) 00:47, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

::Yes, I surmised it may have been an error, but didn't want to assume. Thanks for correcting it. Can't think of a better section title at this time. --[[User:AdamM|AdamM]] ([[User talk:AdamM|talk]]) 14:41, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

== source ==

Dear {{ping|Boud}} Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I understand how important it is to maintain high standards for sourcing on Wikipedia. When I added the reference to Newsweek, I did so in good faith, as I recall it being a respected publication during my upbringing. I wasn't aware that the community's perception of the source has shifted over time, and I appreciate you pointing this out. If we had talked about it first, I would have gladly reverted it myself. Collaboration and communication are key to building a better encyclopedia, and I value the chance to learn and improve. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention, and I'll be more careful about vetting sources in the future. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help address this matter.
