March 2018

Hello, I'm Srich32977. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Socialism seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – S. Rich (talk) 03:57, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Eurabia. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Basically the sources need to discuss the subject of the article, which is very different from writing an essay where you can use sources not discussing the subject to build up an argument. Doug Weller talk 18:26, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my reply on the article's talk page.Adoring nanny (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen it and replied. And removed a whole section someone else wrote where the sources were about something else entirely. Doug Weller talk 17:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)r[reply]

I've undone your edits to the subject page. They were fairly major edits. We can certainly discuss the matter further on the article talk page, if you wish. a one line mention of the article may be valuable however it's not something worthy of editing the lead or features sections.Labattblueboy (talk) 13:03, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert for articles and content relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict

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

You have recently shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Doug Weller talk 20:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please avoid editing in the Arab-Israeli area until you have 500 edits

That applies to any content relating to the conflict even if the article itself isn't devoted to it. I see you last few edits have been in violation of this. I'm presuming you didn't read the section heading here. Doug Weller talk 20:38, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Once there was a small country with a mighty army. They fought with considerable skill and won many victories. However, the more victories they won, the more enemies they made, and eventually they were thrown onto the defensive. They continued fighting with considerable skill, but in the end they were defeated. Their terrific tactical skill, which is admired to this day, did not make up for their lack of grand strategy.

You just reverted an article that was sourced with reliable secondary sources. In addition many of the claims from Undisclosed and all from the Undisclosed Wiki and a Reddit AMA are not Wikipedia Reliable sources.

Cynistrategus (talk) 08:20, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Reliable sources Because you may disagree with the content of a journalistic reliable source does not mean that you can just revert them away. Please refrain from doing so in the future.

General sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)

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

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Fox News RfC and questions about Trump collusion

I don't want to overwhelm/distract at the RfC, so I'll provide this information for you here. This is from the Mueller Report:

In evaluating whether evidence about collective action of multiple individuals constituted a crime, we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of "collusion. " In so doing, the Office recognized that the word "collud[e]" was used in communications with the Acting Attorney General confirming certain aspects of the investigation's scope and that the term has frequently been invoked in public reporting about the investigation. But collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. For those reasons, the Office's focus in analyzing questions of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law. In connection with that analysis, we addressed the factual question whether members of the Trump Campaign "coordinat[ed]"-a term that appears in the appointment order-with Russian election interference activities. Like collusion, "coordination" does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law. We understood coordination to require an agreement-tacit or express- between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests. We applied the term coordination in that sense when stating in the report that the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.

Conspiracy/coordination "requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests." The Trump campaign did take myriad proven "actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests", but without evidence of a formal written or spoken agreement (the "more than the two parties..."), conspiracy could not be proven, even if everything done, and the results of those actions, indicated that such an understanding existed, regardless of whether a formal "agreement" existed. Conspirators usually avoid leaving such evidence.

Keep in mind that, already starting in 2015, EIGHT foreign allied intelligence agencies incidentally recorded numerous Trump campaign members and associates secretly meeting with known Russian intelligence agents (who were being monitored) and discussing the coming election. The campaign lied about all these contacts. Their conversations were so worrying and a threat to American democracy that those intelligence agencies reported their findings to the FBI (and maybe CIA). The Trump campaign was deeply involved with Russian intelligence in planning election interference to help Trump. That's collusion, no matter how it's defined. -- Valjean (talk) 17:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commenting on the personal motivations of RfC participants

Your suggestion that editors based in mainland China (if there are any, in the first place) comment the way they do out of fear of legal ramifications is not far-removed from the tired trope "do you have a connection to the Chinese state", and thus dangerously close to a WP:WIAPA violation. And your assertion that Xinhua is a "CCP organ" is a WP:SOAPBOX-level falsehood, as our own article states it is ministry-level institution subordinate to the State Council, not any Party apparatus such as the Politburo Standing Committee. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 18:00, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was also disturbed by that same comment. Wikipedia allows people of all nationalities to edit, and suggesting that editors from one country be discounted goes fundamentally against the values of the project. -Thucydides411 (talk) 20:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can be certain that I don't like the reality of it either. But it is also factual. See Ren Zhiqiang. If it would make the two of you happier, I could change it to something that is purely factual and leave the motivation part out, i.e. "participants from mainland China risk arrest and disappearance if they are too critical of the CCP." Would that be an improvement? Adoring nanny (talk) 20:43, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflating a critical essay written by a very high-profile tycoon (Mr. Ren) with Wikipedia editing, which I doubt the Central Government gives a hoot about it vis-a-vis surveilling dissidents, is a bad look, but, alas, I have come to expect that from the comments on RS/N. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 21:22, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TPS: WP:Disinformation contains documented cases of government sponsored disinformation on Wikipedia. Always looking for new entries that are verifiable :) My opinion: the Chinese government does care about Wikipedia. If they have UPE on Wikipedia has never been determined, as far as I know, beyond suspicions. -- GreenC 14:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

China COVID-19 Cover-up moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, China COVID-19 Cover-up, is not suitable as written to remain published. The article raises concerns about neutrality WP:NPOV and due weight to an alledged cover-up. China's response has wide coverage across the Covid article spectrum, especially COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China#Propaganda. Therefore, this strikes me as POV-Fork. I may be missing something, hence moving to Draft instead of a Deletion discussion. I suggest to follow the WP:AFC process for an additional set of eyes. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 00:04, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest to double check the "Propaganda" section. It goes into a lot of detail around censorship, handling of whistleblowers, questions around accuracy of data, questions around virus origin and so forth. All this can easily be a substitute for "cover up". Plus, there's also COVID-19 misinformation which looks at all sorts of angles surrounding this._pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 00:53, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A cover-up is about hiding information. That is not the same as misinformation. Indeed, some of the material of the draft was deleted from the misinformation page on grounds that it is off-topic there. Adoring nanny (talk) 00:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How to put sources inside a collapse

I prefer to use Template:Sources-talk as it adds a second inner collapse inside the template, that contains all the sources within. You can do it like this:

{{ctop}}

(content)

{{Sources-talk}}

{{cbot}}

This has the effect of removing those sources from any subsequent references, but it will also "catch" any pre-collapse sources, so watch out for that. I love wiki-formatting, as you may have noticed! :) --Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 16:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there!

I really appreciate your comment[[10]] about how to keep only the best sources in Wikipedia in an unprecedented situation.

Also, while I was here I also noticed your essay. I have started a user essay of my own, and while it's kind of along similar lines in that it is counter to WP:NOLABLEAK (I swear I didn't copy you idea haha!) the explicit intent is a bit different. The idea is to allow the scientific process to work on its own, while Wikipedia does Wikipedia's job based on common sense inclusion of sources rather than be inflexible beyond reason.

Would you be interested in contributing to the section about the joint WHO-China study? If so I'll let you know once I have something posted.

Square brackets

I think the problem was that you used square brackets in the section title. I fixed it by using round brackets.VR _talk 17:36, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Adoring nanny (talk) 17:44, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also its generally better to strike out comments, as opposed to deleting them, after someone has responded to them.VR _talk 18:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the tradition. In this case, however, the comment has nothing to do with the discussion. That's why I suggested deletion and did delete after your fix (thanks). For a substantive comment, I would not have done that. Adoring nanny (talk) 18:06, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adoring nanny, I think you have grounds for an ArbCom case. LondonIP (talk) 22:01, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nah. a general rule of Wikipedia is that it is best to take things calmly. I'm not going to ANI, let alone arbcom. Adoring nanny (talk) 23:13, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Without arbitration, I doubt your draft will pass, but I will try to help with the sources I've read. I recommend to start collecting diffs of all arguments made to POVDELETE content, like the WP:AGEMATTERS and WP:REDFLAG, here and here. WP:ARBCOM is the right venue for this. LondonIP (talk) 19:18, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be too sure. It seems to me that it's one user strongly objecting and several others indifferent. In general, WP:AC is a terrible place for content disputes. Adoring nanny (talk) 19:30, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2021

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. [11] Removal of a source simply because you disagree with its conclusions is exactly the opposite of NPOV. — Shibbolethink ^(♔ ^♕) 22:37, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Shibbolethink, The first step in WP:BRD is in fact B. There is nothing improper about making a bold edit. Getting into an edit war, without discussing, would be improper. I would add that your message misses the mark as I neither added commentary, nor my point of view, nor any analysis to the article. I request that you retract the insinuation that I did so. Adoring nanny (talk) 01:03, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, a POV warrior. Yes that explains the otherwise inexplicably bizarre behavior at [12]. FYI, I'll pursue a topic ban if this ever again bleeds into article space. VQuakr (talk) 03:09, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Came here after noticing this raised at RSN, and then was pretty shocked to see this[14] removal of an obviously high-quality source (and also depressed to see people still banging on about this topic). Could be that AE is soon needed. Alexbrn (talk) 15:03, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good grief. It is allowed to make a WP:BOLD edit once. If reverted, one is supposed to discuss, which I did. It was one thing to have Shibbolethink and RandomCanadian disagree with me. But when DGG also did, the answer was clear. I have now accepted the general opinion that the source should be kept. I do still believe we need to explain Frutos' reasoning more fully. All of this is part of the normal editorial process. Adoring nanny (talk) 15:12, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Be WP:CAREFUL. An obviously bad edit to anyone with WP:CLUE, and apparently part of a disruptive pattern of POV-pushing. Your only seeing the obvious when a certain named editor gives their word too, rather compounds the problem. Alexbrn (talk) 21:01, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Proposed COVID topic ban for User:Adoring nanny. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

Please do not come on my talk page again. I respectfully disagree with your incomprehensible misunderstanding of my comments. You're certainly self-aware enough to understand that these are not personal attacks and also have enough introspection to understand how edits like this one (to pick the recent one) do breach WP:NPOV and WP:FRINGE without me having to detail it out for you (just for clarity: "believe" is clearly the wrong word and "Most scientists" is really "Almost all of them with relevant qualifications", facts which you are also well aware). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:40, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that "say" would have been a better choice than "believe". Thank you for pointing that out. However, I would note that the second sentence of the article says Most scientists say that as with other pandemics in human history, the virus is likely of zoonotic origin in a natural setting, and ultimately originated from a bat-borne virus. and appears to have been stable since at least August. Are you arguing that the only problem is the word "believe", which I agree was the wrong choice? Or is there a further problem? Adoring nanny (talk) 22:21, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

Please do not continue to claim i have made personal attacks towards you, when i simply was incorrect regarding a topic ban (which i later corrected) and suggested that you reconsider your edit history. It seems you have been doing similar things (claiming things are personal attacks when they clearly aren't) to another edit quite recently as mentioned in the above section, do not continue doing so. Corinal (talk) 15:38, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This[15] was a personal attack. Adoring nanny (talk) 15:59, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly there is a personal attack? I was incorrect about your TBAN (it had only been proposed) but that is not a personal attack. I stated you had nothing to say but threats, my view regarding your message (not a personal attack). I mentioned WP:BOOMERANG, not a personal attack. Please quote directly what you believe is a personal attack. Corinal (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"perhaps you should consider why you have sanctions on related topics instead of falsely claiming i do not understand policy and then threatening me." they were right, you. didn't understand. Thats pretty clearly a personal attack as there is no truth to the statement that AD falsly claimed something (nor was there actually truth to the statement about threats or sanctions but those aren't truly PA). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a personal attack, even if you believe it incorrect. As stated numerous time, i have corrected my mistake regarding the TBAN. Please take the suggestion of another editor and end the conversation, rather than interjecting yourself into it. Corinal (talk) 16:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User talk pages

While they're adequate for warnings and non-canvassing notifications, and allowed more freedom than article talk pages, it's not really a good idea to confront other editors at their user page to continue content disputes (the article talk page is the place to find compromise). If the goal is to warn per WP:WARN, just do it with a clear message and move on; if they've been warned enough already, consider reporting them (of course it may not always turn out as planned, depending on how legitimate it is)... I post this advice because I've seen it happen several times lately. —Paleo Neonate – 08:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring on Elections in Cuba

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.. If you continue your revisions, you will be reported per WP:EDITWAR. Hcoder3104 (talk) 23:20, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Filtration camp system for Ukrainians moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Filtration camp system for Ukrainians, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Dubious COVID-related information

You've reinstated this material, which is a dubious claim that has never been substantiated. Simply stating that SCMP and The Guardian are "perfectly good sources" does not address the problems I pointed out on the talk page. Many claims that are made in breaking news coverage turn out to be inaccurate. The SCMP made a claim in early 2020. The Guardian and a few other outlets related that claim, which does not mean that they independently investigated and verified it - newspapers often repeat breaking news from other papers. Subsequent investigations (such as the WHO mission) have not been able to verify the claim.

As you know, accuracy in COVID-related topics is something that we take seriously on Wikipedia. Please self-revert. -Thucydides411 (talk) 08:51, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Advice on how to frame an RfC

Hello, Adoring nanny, I'd like some advice from you on how to formulate the RfC Talk:War crimes in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. You already made a contribution to the discussion, so you know what it is about. What do you think of the following set of questions? Is there any way to say it more clearly and simply? Thank you.

This RfC concerns if and how the article should report about extrajudicial executions of suspected collaborators of Russian forces.

Option 1 (status quo). The article should not include a section on extrajudicial executions of suspected collaborators of Russian forces.

Option 2 (proposed text). The article should include a section as the one proposed here below.

Option 3 (different text). The article should include a section different from the one proposed (specify how).

Proposed text

Extrajudicial executions of suspected collaborators

As of 11 July, Ukrainian officials and media reported that at least five Russian collaborators had been shot dead or blown up in their cars and three more wounded.^[1] On 30 August, nearly a dozen people had been killed and a number of others have been injured in assassination attempts targeting collaborationist and Russian-appointed officials in the occupied territories.^[2] On 8 September, Washington Post reported a wave of assassinations and attempted killings targetting officials and collaborators in Russian occupied territories.^[3] Some of the attacks were carried out by Ukrainian partisans who are led and trained by Ukrainian special forces.^[4]^[5]

On 27 September, the OHCHR documented six killings of suspected "traitors" of Ukraine. The victims were officials of local authorities, policemen and civilians who were believed to have voluntarily cooperated with the enemy. According to OHCHR, these killings may have been committed by government agents or with their acquiescence and may amount to extrajudicial executions and war crimes.^[6]

Gitz (talk) (contribs) 17:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think your proposal is clear. You have used multiple options, rather than multiple questions. That's a big helper with clarity. I'm less certain that your wording is neutral. I would be inclined to use the word "killings" outside of option 2. Adoring nanny (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the prompt answer. I don't understand what you mean by use the word "killings" outside of option 2. Do you mean that we should use the word "killings" instead of "executions"? "Extrajudicial killings"? I'm fine with that, but I don't understand your reference to Option 2 - option 2 doesn't mention neither killings nor executions. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 19:07, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think "extrajudicial" is a word that tends to frame things in a certain way. Very few of the people who are killed in a war are killed after a judicial process. Think of a German killed by a WW2 resistance movement, or by partisans, for example. There was no judicial process, but would we call it "extrajudicial"? Anyway, it's your RfC -- that's just my opinion. Adoring nanny (talk) 00:27, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, OK, thank you - I did not realise that the adjective 'extrajudicial' was the problem. I will avoid it in the wording of the RfC. Regarding your observation, note that I used the word "partisan" in the proposed text, as one sources does (they also use "hit squads"). I believe that from the perspective of international humanitarian law, it all comes down to whether the targets are civilians or enemy combatants. Recently, there has been much debate on the legality of targeted killings and some scholars have argued that in asymmetric warfare, leaders and members of terrorist organisations can be legitimately targeted. However, as far as I know, no one has ever claimed that civilians without military responsibilities, such as civil servants, can be legitimate targets. As for law enforcement officers, there might be some controversy, but killing an elected mayor because of his pro-Russian leanings? Usually the OHCHR is very cautious about labelling something as a possible war crime. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 06:38, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Liberation of Kherson City

The article Liberation of Kherson City has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Already covered by content in 2022 Ukrainian southern counteroffensive and Kherson.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

November 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Investigations into the origin of COVID-19. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

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

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. VQuakr (talk) 23:24, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adoring nanny. You mentioned a couple of articles that you are aware of that use "far-right" in the opening sentence, namely Dorothy Moon and the Gatestone Institute. Are there others that you are aware of? I've been asked to compile a list of articles that use "far left" and "far right" as statements of fact to describe people and groups. This is unrelated to the RFC discussion underway. Perhaps, if this is an issue that has captured your attention to some degree, we could collaborate on such a list. Thanks.

Not aware of others at present. Adoring nanny (talk) 02:17, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I have a list of approximately a dozen others so far, some of which use in-line citations, like the Dorothy Moon article, and others which simply assert that the subject is "far" right/left without any citations at all. If you happen to stumble across another, and you think of it, I'd appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Thanks. Philomathes2357 (talk) 02:29, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Adoring nanny (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do the allegations say

Pertinent query. Shoot me an email, and I will try to send some scans (in Polish) from the Nasz Dziennik in the weekend. TrangaBellam (talk) 21:47, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened

Hello Adoring nanny,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee,

Thank you. The void century 18:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I did intend to do it on your talk page. Adoring nanny (talk) 03:58, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and not a problem. Easy fix. The deletion discussion is a separate issue that I became aware of when I visited your user page. I think it's fine if you disagree with an article's consensus and gather sources to support that viewpoint. I just don't think an essay is an appropriate place for that. It should be proposed as a change on the lab leak talk page. The void century 04:30, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinitely blocked

To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

I honestly couldn’t figure out a topic ban broad enough to contain your misunderstanding of core policies. COVID, pseudoscience, American Politics? Not even sure that’s enough to be workable. So, the siteblock is the better solution for the project. Per Wikipedia:Contentious topics protocol, the first year of this is an AE action, the remainder is not. Courcelles (talk) 13:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Courcelles: Based on what you wrote, it is difficult to tell. But is it possible that your perception is affected by the fact that the discussion in question was about a userspace essay, where standards are much different from article space, and criticism of core policies is permitted? Here, for example, I gather up a bunch of sources related to a question under dispute, even including one that goes directly counter to my opinion in the discussion.[17] My position in that discussion might be summarized by saying that the harshest criticism does not belong in the first sentence. Adoring nanny (talk) 20:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am now noticing that I got WP:NOTTRUTH wrong in that discussion. In that particular instance I plead temporary insanity. Sigh. Adoring nanny (talk) 06:08, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Been there, bud! Just remember, nothing lasts forever and we both know hearts can change. And yeah, never be wrong! InedibleHulk (talk) 23:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
