Neutrality Expert

Regarding Oscar Lopez Rivera, is there some authoritative editor on neutrality, perhaps has a special interest in it or monitors the neutrality guidelines? Someone who could (quickly) comment on the quality of the article and sourcing from a neutrality perspective? The mediation of the article was rejected as involving "conduct issues" with little further explanation. [1] While I don't edit that article, I do edit a similar one, Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, with the same group of editors controlling the content. Having read through the Neutrality Notice Board with its multiple relists and its "This category has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors" banner, it appears to be where notices go to die.

Reason for the Removal of some Content in Recent Contributions

Dear CambridgeBayWeather,

About two days ago, you sent me a message about the removal of some content by me in my recent contributions such as those in the article, 'Conquest of Mecca', without an explanation. Well I respect your response. I am surely responsible for my act and here is a declaration (written by me to the volunteer team) that I, with due respect, would suggest you to read:

I was utterly disappointed when I saw some Islamic Pages on wikipedia which had faults and wrong information in them. The problem is that when I edit and fix the wrong material, it is reverted to the previous one again which is already wrong. Therefore, it is a humble request as a Muslim that some consideration should be paid on this issue as it harms the religion of Islam by placing wrong information on the topics and pages related to it. Islam is a religion that teaches humanity and good relations with every creed and color. But reflecting bad and wrong images of it is against humanity itself which no other religion allows. I will offer all the cooperation I can and as a Muslim, I offer a hand of friendship to all the team of wikipedia. So as humbly as I can, I demand the resolving of the discussed issue. And if any shameful paradigm of a regrettable act is played by me, then I am terribly remorseful and if any harm is done to the values of any other party or religion by any other Muslim in the parameters of wikipedia, then I can be trusted to be informed and I would cooperate at my level best.--Hassan.Pt (talk) 11:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)Hassan.Pt

Summer solstice

Thought of you yesterday and wondered if you were reading by the midnight sun? I'm at a conference in Portland, Oregon and it was light outside until about 9:45pm... nothing in comparison to your neck of the woods, I'm sure. Met a librarian at this conference from Vancouver, BC who is starting up an Inuit library in Sept. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Not much info regarding the library yet, but there is this. I'm intrigued on how one starts such a task, creating a library in potentially 3 languages. Not such a bad habit, looking over the planes at your airport... especially if you are able/allowed to fly one. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:14, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Williams Lake, British Columbia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scandinavians. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. I noticed that you semi-protected Doraemon yesterday for three months. However, I noticed that only one IP was vandalizing the page. Unless the IP was a sock, isn't three months due to a single IP too long? I think maybe at most one month is a better length, though I don't mind if the article stays at its current length of protection. What do you think?

People are still claiming he has transferred, with the latest change saying it is official, even though neither OGC Nice or Arsenal have confirmed it. It's almost certain he will transfer, however he hasn't done so yet.

Roger Goodman

"Goodman has stated that the allegations are completely unsubstantiated and originated from a 2012 divorce filing, where he claims that his ex-wife was trying to convince the judge of her then-husband's unworthiness in an attempt to get more money from the divorce.[12]"

Please review the sourced information. Goodman did not "state that the allegations were completely unsubstantiated" and does not "claim" anything about his ex-wife. This sentence should be removed.

FYI. The research would show that the divorce declaration cited, occurred in October 2012. The Motion of Contempt filed in August 2013 (presented in court September of 2013) is a completely separate entity from the Temporary Orders filed back in October. The Motion of Contempt, was in fact, filed in regard to violations to the Final Order (which was the settlement) which occurred in June of 2013. The divorce documents from October 2012 were not a part of the Final Order.

The original quote "I asked Carns if it was fair to quote contentious divorce documents in the Goodman ad, particularly since they're part of his ex-wife requesting more money in the settlement." was a false statement and has since been removed by KOMO 4 TV--the source continues to be quoted but if you look at the source it is simply not there. Since it is not sourced, the libelous statement should be removed.

The divorce documents had nothing to do with the Motion of Contempt mentioned in that false quote which continues to be cited. And since it is is impossible to change any financials after a divorce settlement is signed (in our case June 2013)--the three things are not one related to the other, placed in a sentence as if they are:

contentious divorce documents (Temporary Order--October 2013) and settlement (Final Order/Settlement--June 2013) requesting more money (Motion of Contempt--August/September 2013)

Requests for financial relief for attorney fees when forced to return to court for violations of parenting plans and settlement agreements is routine, but completely separate from the final settlement (inferring money) Final Order.

That is why I continue to edit this so that it is factual. The "undo" edits are disingenuous and an inaccurate picture. Erroneous and libelous.

I need to add that while you might have an opinion that my statements made under penalty of perjury were simply allegations, that is an opinion--not based in fact. Contentious indicates: causing or likely to cause an argument; controversial. Roger too, had the right to respond to my supposed "allegations," under penalty of perjury but chose not to. That was the time to dispute my supposed "allegations." Under penalty of perjury. Through the court of law. Not now, through a medium other than the court of law that doesn't apply the same standards or opportunity to rebut the accusations made.

Therefore, it should be assumed that my divorce declaration statements were not contentious because they caused no argument or disagreement. Roger, making no response to the court, indicates concurrence, not controversy.

I can only assume that the edits are made by supporters who are not caring about the Wikipedia standards for truth and non-inflamotory statements. Facts are very different from truth in Wiki world as well as my world. The edits essentially state that statements made under penalty of perjury are assumed false while statements with no standards for assessment or recourse are not. That is incongruent with reason. As you know, edits must be made fairly and rationally accessing the validity of claims. The rules for biographies are not being followed. Do I need to continue to report those who continue to make libelous claims?

If you would like, I can have one of my attorneys explain in legalese. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I understand completely how this kind of error could have been made. That is why I simply request that you make the corrections asked.

Roger Goodman Edit-Thanks.

Thank you for your response and information on what to do better--when/if there is a next time. I also appreciate that you made the edit so quickly. I am clearly not a wiki person and only doing reputation management out of necessity. I have no idea what I'm doing and frankly, have other things I need to be doing with my time. ;-) I was frustrated as I did put short info in edit line but it seems like there might be a vested interest for some of the editors? (The news report indicated as such.) I don't know. I just want "my" person left out of "his" issues. That said, I probably should have created a different user name? I just wanted to be transparent in this case in particular.

If you decide to keep this edit, it would be more accurate to add that the divorce filing was made under "penalty of perjury." The way it reads now is as if it is a simple "he said/she said" case while that is not the case. Roger could have filed a response to my divorce documents but chose not to because he would have had to do so under penalty of perjury. Making a false statement would have legal repercussions for anyone who did. It is significant that he made a statement. I had to sign that what I wrote was true or face charges.

This edit surrounds the issue of 2014 campaign allegations. I am curious as to why that was the only thing referenced from my divorce documents. If the fact that Roger drove my kids stoned is relevant, why isn't the 20K IRS collections or DSHS failure to pay in full child support payments relevant? The omissions are interesting. All three were the subject of the source used, so why only use the part about the kids. Personally, I think this is irresponsible toward our children and question the integrity of the original poster who added this topic to the site. (BTW. I have letters, emails, texts and drug tests from Roger proving this supposed "allegation" If I need to release them to protect my reputation and protect my children, I will.)

The following is now, apparently also an issue of the 2014 … and frankly, who knows what is next.

"The prickly topic of Sonntag's inquiry was personal use of office computers, a continuing problem at the Sentencing Guidelines Commission (SGC) ever since Sonntag's office determined adult Web sites had been visited on the work computer of Leggett's predecessor Roger Goodman, who resigned."

Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

And if you really need this edit, fall under the career category?

See why I don't see why this is all relevant? The campaign issues will take over the page which is really for biographies, right? I'm sure that's not what Roger wants … and I know it's not what I want for the children to see--nor is it necessary to the bio. Interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks again. I hope you will consider full removal of the edit or make the changes I suggested to reflect the truth and soften the focus on the kids.

Let me know if I'm posting this wrong.

National Day of Commemoration

I have no objections to full protection, if that will help talk page discussion. Give it a week and I would leave it up to an uninvolved admin (like yourself as you are now fimilar with the context) deciding to undo protection once the outcome is clear. Murry1975 (talk) 08:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I'd just like to put your SP protection decision into some sort of context. First though a remark about the editor Murry1975- if you will permit. If you study his edit history you'll see that by far and away the majority of his work is concerned with policing the current version of WP:IMOS. To that end, he trawls Wikipedia replacing instances of Republic of Ireland with Ireland. While this is the IMOS standard, actually, it leads to confusion. Consider one of Murry's edits today. Look at the edit [7] and then read the (start of) the article Drogheda. The reader will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that Drogheda is the 6th most populous conurbation on the island of Ireland. This is absolutely incorrect. Drogheda is the 6th most populous conurbation in the Republic. Unless the reader goes to the previous piped link of List of towns in the Republic of Ireland he will effectively be reading wrong information. And of course if the page is printed, the error is even harder to detect (impossible, in fact). It is this type of error that I was trying to rectify in the article in question. Again, ambiguity and potential error is being introduced due to these edits.
Why are these edits proliferating? Because of a small number of editors who object to the terminology "Republic or Ireland", it being deemed to be of British origin. As a result, they have managed to arrange an IMOS "ruling" which is favourable to this point of view. This ruling will never change now. These editors will not allow it. So against this background I was merely trying to ensure that wrong information does not get out of control. Unfortunately, due to this warrior mentality it is doing so, with the article in question being a prime example. The National Day of Commemoration ONLY applies to the Republic, but in the article this is not clear, and could be read as applying to Ireland the island. I know my edit warring is wrong, and I apologise to the community for it, but to me, edit warring is preferable to wrong information being disemminated as a result of political motivation. 86.9.250.59 (talk) 20:24, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Discussing as to the merits of either wording on my talk page or edit warring across articles is not the way to go about this. The talk page at WP:IMOS is the place to have the discussion. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 03:04, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
I am not discussing anything. I am providing you with background information so that in future you may be able to make better informed decisions. For instance, by taking account of this statement at WP:PROT: "Semi-protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against vandalism that has not yet occurred, nor should it be used to privilege registered users over unregistered users in (valid) content disputes (my emphasis). 82.26.93.215 (talk) 08:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
In case you've still got any doubts about this, you seemed to have sided with editors simply because they have accounts and I didn't. This is the type of edit one of them gets up to. Perhaps you could explain to me why my edit (left), was reverted, because I can't see why, and the reverter is incoherent about it [8] Neil Edgar (talk) 20:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
If you read the edit you will see Neil, that you have added a "personal" remark about de Velera, in a section the is already tagged for citations. Anyhow, no new consensus has been put forward on NDC to replace the existing one and Neil here has revert the editor the restored the version before edit warring started, CBW, what next, I templated him for MOS.

Weather balloons

I think we should keep our substantive conversations about this where they are, but I wanted to tell you of the unusual source of my interest in weather balloons. There's a fellow named Charles Hall who writes about (get ready for it) Tall White extraterrestrials. He claims to have encountered them closely in the 1960s when he was a U.S. Air Force aerographer at a desert base in Nevada. I'm kind of open to this sort of thing, so I read his short books on the subject. They endlessly describe his balloon-launching trips out into the desert, and talk at length about using his balloons and equipment, though he doesn't really describe the latter in detail. Imagine my surprise when I found your photos. They depict exactly the things I remember him talking about. Lou Sander (talk) 13:57, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Hello.

I was hoping I could bother about one of your closures at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. I hope I am not catching you while you are very busy.

Today, you closed a protection request for {{Infobox OS}} with a verdict of full protection for one week. However, I believe there is a point the review that you might or might not have seen. I thought perhaps you will allow me to give it a shot. The instance that you visited contained the following statement:

(Personal attack removed)

In reality, it was the following sentence:

You have a huge block history, some of which are because of violating WP:1RR on sensitive/widely-transcluded templates.

It is not written with the purpose of hurting, but with genuine concern that the person in question will do it again. (I personally never comment on a person unless I feel not doing so hurts Wikipedia. For one thing, I do know that in Wikipedia, the personal attacker only succeeds in hurting his own reputation.)

Please re-consider upgrading the protection to indefinite.

Best regards,

It is complex, but has what I believe is a clear consensus there.

Regarding Page Edward Tobinick

Please revert the protected page to the protected version from August 4, 2014.

The current protected page contains two recent edits by User: Proper Stranger that are in violation of NPOV. As noted on the Talk page, Proper Stranger cherry picked evidence. He removed positive clinical trial results, while leaving other results in. The results of his edits do not present all the significant points of view. His edits fail to conform to Wikipedia NPOV standards.

The doctor’s work with etanercept is an issue of public importance. It is unconscionable that evidence was removed, that all significant views are not presented.

The page without all the evidence should not be the protected page.

If this request to revert the protected page to the protected version from August 4, 2014, is denied, please unprotect the page to allow proper editing that observes NPOV. Proper Stranger’s edits of 8 August 2014, included in the current protected version, fail the NPOV standard.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThirtyCat (talkcontribs) 14:28, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Please revert the protected page to the protected version from August 4, 2014.

Comment to Mr. Stradivarius, who denied a request to edit the protected page:

Mr. Stradivarius, I must beg to differ, specifically with two of the points you discuss.

Your suggestion that “detailed information on the clinical trials of etanercept would probably be better off in the Etanercept article” does not describe an issue with this biography. There has been no detailed information on the clinical trials discussed on this page.

This is the biography of a physician who is the inventor of new methods of treatment for neurological disorders. The inventions are why the doctor is notable. You can’t separate the doctor and his inventions. The inventions belong on the page.

While there have been no detailed discussions of clinical trials in this article, note of all trials and news stories should be listed, as they represent the response to these inventions. It is the comprehensive and objective listing that readers want, and expect. It is not NPOV to cherry pick which trials or news stories are included, as Positive Stranger has done.

How is the recent Daily Mail (UK)(this article having been removed by Proper Stranger), “Arthritis drug could also halt Alzheimer's: Treatment found to stop progression of memory loss and poor mood” article not relevant to the topic? The doctor’s invention for the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease, first reported in 2006, has again been reported on by a major London newspaper, its efficacy being confirmed by a randomized clinical trial. This is not detailed information of a clinical trial that belongs on another page. This is news of the results of a randomized clinical trial, from a major news source, confirming the efficacy of a new method of treatment by the inventor. This is exactly the subject of this article.

The doctor is the holder of the following patents for his inventions: U.S. patents 6419944, 6537549, 7214658, 7629311, 8119127, and 8236306, and Australian patent 758,523. The reporting of all trials and news stories relative to these invented new methods of treatment is exactly the kind of comprehensive, objective evidence the reader wants and deserves, and which is required by NPOV.

Intractable spinal pain is a major public health problem around world. This page discusses a doctor and his new methods of treatment for this health problem. Is there evidence of the efficacy of these inventions? Yes, there is. Four randomized clinical trials (their listings removed by Proper Stranger) report on the efficacy of these treatments.

Proper Stranger removed the listing of trials and news stories that speak to the efficacy of these inventions. He did not remove detailed discussions of the trials themselves, which he argues belong on another page. But mentions of the results of these trials, as a reflection of the inventions, belong on this page. And they must not be selectively edited out.

Regarding your statement that you “don’t think it’s fair to characterize the edits in question as “[removing] positive clinical trial results, while leaving other results in.”” I can’t help but think that’s exactly what was done. Why leave a trial with unfavorable results (Johns Hopkins Walter Reed), but remove the positive trials? Why does the unfavorable trial remain? How is it different?! If the stated purpose is to remove what is relevant to the article’s topic, how is this trial more relevant to the topic than the positive trials? The selective removal of positive trial results appears to be simply because they were positive. This is not NPOV.

The cherry picked version of this article, as edited by Proper Stranger, should not be allowed to mislead and misinform readers for a minute more. Please revert this page to the protected version of 4 August 2014.

Protection

Hi CambridgeBayWeather.

On February 2nd, 2014 you protected Shahjalal International Airport. After the expiry of the protection on the 1st day of August, the page is again going through persistent vandalism by 180.149.8.166, 58.97.142.165, 58.97.142.165 etc. who are filling the page with unexplained airport destination links.

Also, you protected Shah Amanat International Airport on the same date. Again after the expiry of protection, it is going through persistent vandalism similar to the airport page mentioned above. Here is its history page.

I would like you to please protect both pages for 12 months as vandals return as soon as the expiry ends.

Thanks - Ahnaaf (talk) 12:47, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi CBW! The IP airport vandal from Bangladesh has been pretty focused (instead of going everywhere). Heydar Aliyev International Airport probably needs protection. HkCaGu (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

The Pink Print 2

Hi, CambridgeBayWeather. I have moved The Pinkprint to The Pink Print. The reason is simple: Media reports all use "The Pink Print" instead of "The Pinkprint". Even MTV, Bustle, Billboard and other reliable sources say "The Pink Print", and Wikipedia is the only website that uses "Pink Print" as one word. Even if the word in the dictionary is compound, the artist can choose whether to put a space or not. I have moved it back to "The Pink Print", and I may start a new conversation on its talk page. Cheers, DEW. Adrenaline (Nahnah4) 03:28, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

ANEW closure

Do you mean to say that multiple editors can breach the so-called "red-line" of 3RR, multiple times, and get away with simply a warning? Cfredkin was to ANEW for breaching 3RR on a different page, and also got a warning then. What meaning, then, does the phrase "re-line" have anymore? Are you effectively saying that edit-warring will go unpunished so long as there are two people involved? 59.97.32.195 (talk) 07:45, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I started at the bottom of the page and worked up. I didn't see that there had been multiple reports about one editor. However, if either edit wars (not necessarily with each other or on that page) they will be blocked. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 07:49, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Why did you fully protect Zoe Quinn?

Full protection is only supposed to be used in terms of a content dispute, not for general vandalism. The semi protection was working perfectly well. In addition, WP:PROTECT outlines that Pre-emptive full protection of articles is contrary to the open nature of Wikipedia. Please unprotect or state your reasoning for protecting.

La impostora

Hi you could revert edit ip?, prizes are bad, as on August 21 were delivered, and the soap opera was only nominated in 3 categories, current information is erroneous. He spoke of awards and nominations. On the edit war, try to talk to the IP on their issues and ignored me. I also asked for help, and ignored my request, the problem is not from a single article, comes from several.--Damián (talk) 08:25, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Here it is. The IP 46.229.194.33 is the same person. As I said before, the ip 46229193141 ignored my message, so I do not understand with whom I discuss this in the discussion page of the article. IP is only connected to revert my edits on any item.--Damián (talk) 08:46, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Let's see, you will be left 2 messages to the ip and ignored when reverse editing clearly put on because in my edit summary, ip simply ignores everything and reverted without explanation, and the same has been done in other articles as Rosa diamante, Corazón valiente, La casa de al lado, among others, is ip reverts my edits without explanation. and i do not think leave a message in the discussion of the article "La impostora", so that no part of that conversation.--Damián (talk) 09:10, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Autoconfirmed Editor

Good day:

I am an Autoconfirmed Editor and the article James Foley (journalist) is restricted.

This edit [10] and all my previous edits were "automatically accepted".


Yet, this (very helpful) edit [11]that actually fixed a site eror, was not automatically accepted and had to be accepted by Dawn Bard.


I first discussed my inquiry with Dawn and she advised me to ask an admin to find out the reason I, an Autoconfirmed editor, am now restricted.

It is still fully protected, for some reason. Please reduce the protection level. RGloucester 23:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks very much. RGloucester 23:24, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Move protection was supposed to expire on September 19. Why moving up to September 4? Also, it was recently changed to "War in Donbass", although some media, like BBC, don't declare it as "war". --George Ho (talk) 03:34, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Almost forgot: according to Special:Log/War in Donbass, the semi-protection time was indefinite. Why should semi-protection expire in September 4? --George Ho (talk) 07:47, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Because, other than templates, I don't think that it is good to protect something indefinitely. If it needs protecting again then it is easy enough to do. CBWeather, Talk, Seal meat for supper? 16:16, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

IP User Vandalism Ukrainian Articles

I noticed that you had been involved in the protection of the page War in Donbass and I was wondering if you could help me out with the page Battalions of territorial defense in Ukraine. Over the last 24 hours, one IP user utilizing multiple IP's has been changing article information to their opinion such as changing "Pro-Russian Unrest" to "Anti-nationalist rebellion" and "Ukrainian soldiers had difficulty combating insurgents" to "Ukrainian soldiers had difficulty suppressing dissent". They have changed ip's several times and now are on their third IP address. Now they have turned to constantly reverting the removals and vandalizing my user page and talk page with warnings that they copied and pasted from one of their IP's talk pages that I posted there. I'm not sure how you can help but I hope you can. Thanks. SantiLak (talk) 20:43, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Recreational Drug Use, admin only

Hi. The only problem with the article was a couple of days age when WarriorLut decided to make a change to the lead. I explained why I didn't agree, but instead of responding to my talk page message, explaining his opinion, he left a message at the top of the page describing all my recent edits as "vandalism". He then, still without responding to my message, started repeatedly changing the entire article back to how it was 3 weeks ago. I reverted these changes. He is no longer doing this. So, I wonder if the protection is necessary. Ps. he states here [12] that he thought I was a 'bot'. (I don't know of any bots that explain their actions on talk pages, and chase editors around trying to engage in discussion, but anyway). Now he presumably accepts that I am a human, I don't expect any problems. His user account is odd, it was opened in 2006, but his first edit was a couple of days age, to recreational drug use, and he has not edited anywhere else, (except the admin's notice board).

Also, I get the sense I may have done something wrong. If so, could you explain what, please? I know there's some kind of 3-revert rule. But what was I supposed to do about a brand-new editor who changes the entire article to an old version, repeatedly? Am I supposed to leave it in any state he desires for 24 hours? That would only reward his behaviour. In taking a firm stance, I demonstrated to him that vandalism is not preferable to discussion. Is there a different course of action I could have taken? Perhaps I should have informed an administrator. (I don't yet know how/where to do this, though).

If you think the temporary page protection is a sound idea, no problem. I just thought I should explain what the article situation is, and ask if I did the wrong thing vis-a-vis reverting changes which the editor absolutely refuses to explain or discuss. If you could tell me what I am supposed to do in such situations, after having written on the article talk page and the editors page, that would be good to know in future. Thanks.

Ps. The editor still may have a chip on his shoulder judging from his latest criticism of me on the talk page. But I honestly think it should be fine, since he appears to care what administrators think (see above). I'm not sure the protection is necessary, it seems like an over-reaction. The article is in a sound state, but I was thinking about expanding it further. Thanks zzz (talk) 11:47, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

PPS. I later removed his "vandalism" message. It was a clear case of personal abuse, which he moved to the top of the page to draw more attention. He had persistently refused to even acknowledge my existence, let alone respond to my messages. (Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that. I don't know. It seemed the right thing to do.) I think the editor just decided he hates my guts, but he seems to have calmed down.zzz (talk) 12:03, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

But maybe its best to leave it protected, to be on the safe side, since it's in a sound state. The history section does still need expanding, tho. I just wanted to explain that I don't think I acted badly, really. zzz (talk) 12:46, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
