sXephil discussion

Hi, I saw your comment on the sXephil discussion and I totally agree. I added him, and included a reference but someone deleted it :( If you have any ideas on how we can add him and not get deleted (i.e. better reference or something else) please leave me a message or write back on the sXephil discussion part of the list of youtube celebrities article. I appreciate your trying to help :D --FallingDarkness (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for replying back, I would add sXephil, but I'm worried someone will just delete it again. Some guy who wasn't even an administrator deleted it. Maybe we need to go through an administrator, maybe that Netsnipe guy.. I think he manages the article.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FallingDarkness (talk • contribs) 21:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added sXephil with the two references. Is there any chance you can make the citation better by making the stories into hyperlinks and adding the authors? I can't seem to get the coding right for it. Thanks --FallingDarkness (talk) 22:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Watching You

Considering it looks as though you still haven't learned your lesson yet about how to treat others, I'm going to be watching you, closely. Dark Lord Phoenix Wright (talk) 00:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm watching you to, but that's because I'm waiting for Blaxthos to try and report you to ANI, and watch for amusement the ensuing feud between you two. :P Wikiposter0123 (talk) 00:04, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More concise

Hi. Nice edit here. I like it when someone takes the time to make a sentence easier to read. Please do more of this!

And who am I? I'm a Wikipedia old-timer: been around longer than 99.8% of all contributors (I'm User #188). My main interest is describing both sides of controversies and disputes, although I'm often been stopped by people who don't want a side described as clearly or fully as I'd wish. So now I go along to get along.

See you around the wiki! --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your encouraging words

I'm not really a "movement conservative" anymore, if I ever was really was one, however I'm not a big fan of the liberal bias I see in any number of Wikipedia articles. Occasionally, though less often, I'll see conservative bias in certain articles. I'd like to think that I do my best to be "fair and balanced" (at least somewhat more so than either Fox News or MSNBC) in my edits. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More words for Everdude

Well, sad to see that BHZ is still like a bunch of pussies when they talk about politics. Also, I'm glad the forum's dead. I knew that after my non-sensical banning (and yet, it was sensical in terms of abuse), the forums would die.

I go to these forums now: http://www.youchewpoop.com/forum/index.php

A member of them already? Or do you dislike YTP?

Right now, I gotta draft a story and add Chris-chan to the Internet celebs list.

Talk:List of YouTube personalities#RfC: The criteria for inclusion on List of YouTube personalities

Hi PokeHomsar. Because you participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of YouTube celebrities (4th nomination), your input is sought at Talk:List of YouTube personalities#RfC: The criteria for inclusion on List of YouTube personalities. There are disputes over who should be and who shouldn't be included in the list. Cunard (talk) 23:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have a personal attack

From above, in the section titled 'whoa', you seem to have a personal attack and you should report it to WP otherwise he will keep doing it. I would continue the fight with you, but the aforementioned attacker has said that we are taking no regard to what he is saying and that we are taking things way out of context and finding any way to complain and mis-use WP discussion pages. I would help you with the fight but then we might be teaming up against them and that would be just as wrong as the 'personal attacks' they accuse me of (since a general group contains their names) but it is perfectly alright for them to do it above. Take action. And good luck with adding Ray. Underwoodl06 (talk) 05:09, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background: I took all mention of, and cites to, Media Matters out of the Thomas Sowell article. CartoonDiablo restored them. I took them out again, giving my reasons on the article's talk page.

ARBITRATION REPORT

Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?

By Lionelt

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.

Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)

IN THE MEDIA

Breitbart Versus Wikipedia

By Lionelt

Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT

WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire

By Lionelt

WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH

Research About AN/I

By Lionelt

Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:

53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
"Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
"Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here.
