Malcom X Personal Academic Paper(s)

He is on the research team of this person, as stated so on his Academia profile here.

^ First Paper, will then be followed up by
It is quite comical, and rather depressing, when realized that the Nation of Islam are still attempting to discredit Malcolm X, and run from the evils that they have committed. A 2022 paper by Dr. Wesley Muhammad, "Compromised Credibility: Zak Kondo on the Assassination of Malcolm X" is perhaps the most severe case of irony I have ever seen, given that Dr. Wesley Muhammad is on the research team of the "Honorable Minister" Louis Farrakhan. It is important to note why I have put "Honorable Minister" in quotes, as there is nothing honorable about commiting evil under the facade of religion. Dr. Wesley Muhammad, Louis Farrakhan, and the modern rendition of the Nation of Islam have gotten away with injustice for too long. This paper is a follow up to: " ", and aims to stop the spreading of misinformation and the shield of religion that these propsertous individuals are using in order to continue to slander and defraud an innocent man's name.

Language parameters
[edit]Hi there, I'm not really sure why you're removing English-language parameters. I realize that the Cite web template doc calls for the language box to be filled in for "The language in which the source is written, if not English", but the automatic citation generator automatically fills in English-language parameters and viewer mode automatically eliminates English-language parameters on the English Wikipedia, so I worry that you are trying to ice skate uphill.

Please help me with...
Okay, I also feel like this is a little unfair, and I am defining myself from accusations when I have done nothing (that I know of) wrong, but I do remember seeing something on the Teahouse about 2% of users having a new feature regarding redirects. I don't remember what was said exactly, but it was about how people should not be alarmed if users have a "precocious" level of understanding as stated by @Liz here.
Again I am not upset or concered about any of this and am just trying to clear all the air so I can continue to edit and volunteer my time because I really enjoy it and it's really fun to me. The following help message is quite vunerable and invasive into my personal life which I try to avoid but I feel as if it is needed now:
I'm going to note a few things below to try and explain as much as I can:
- I try and read as many Wikepedia rule pages as possible, and try to base my edits on WP:5 and WP:JUSTDOIT as much as possible.
- Given my socioeconomic status, I have had access to a vast amount of resources and have had the privelage of being taught by some amazing academics and professionals.
- I have always loved technology and programming, and would say that I am pretty well versed in both Javascript and Python.
- I have been taught and inspired by people around me a lot about language which is why I believe I can learn about the wikitext formatting quicker than others (I think it is ultimatily the combination of all these things)
Again please ask any questions I literlly have nothing to hide, I would prefer to not have to post a picture of myself but I will if its needed. I'm truly just trying my best here, I donate $52 a month to the site, I would never of disclosed (out of personal principles, I have no idea if this is a rule), nothing on my talk page is a lie or meant to deciete, I am a 17 year old high school student from Toronto.
Best, L.E. Rainer 03:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC) L.E. Rainer 03:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Okay I am going to add to this and explain further, this paragraph:
- "Again please ask any questions I literlly have nothing to hide, I would prefer to not have to post a picture of myself but I will if its needed. I'm truly just trying my best here, I donate $52 a month to the site, I would never of disclosed (out of personal principles, I have no idea if this is a rule), nothing on my talk page is a lie or meant to deciete, I am a 17 year old high school student from Toronto."
- Is just meant to explain and attempt to dispell any suspicision of me being a paid editor, I am not and have no affiliation to any organization what so ever, I'm trying to explain that I literlly do the opposite and give my own money to the site. L.E. Rainer 03:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- I would prefer if I could not be talked about when I have tried my best to answer questions to the best of my ability, I can give documents and proof for every major claim I'm making, but again I urge any more suspicion to instead be talked about privately or researched through all of my contributions. To close I will be taking a break from Wikepedia for a little partly because of this interaction, but also because I feel like I also spent an obscene amount of time on the site today and probably need a break anyway. L.E. Rainer 03:44, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Please do not try to use the {{help}} templates for issues other than to get help with 'how to edit' or 'how to use' Wikipedia. Since it appears here that you are offering to answer questions about yourself rather than to ask questions, I've turned off the 'batsignal' that the help template lights up to bring helpers' attention to your query. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 04:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- This will be my final message until I sleep on what has happened here, but I really appreciate that. I'm looking back on the message and I put "defining" instead of defending which I must have missed when I reviewed my work the first time as it kinda fit the situation but I really meant to put defending. Thank you for turning off the 'batsignal' and thanks for letting me know the proper usage of help templates, I will be sure too not use it for things like this in the future (although I would love advice as to where to go to for situations like this)!

CheckUser and the privacy policy
[edit]The CheckUser feature facilitates access to non-public information. The Wikimedia Foundation takes the privacy of its users extremely seriously, and there may at times be tension between protecting Wikipedia from damage and disruption, and protecting the privacy of users (even disruptive ones). Checkusers must perpetually weigh these opposing concerns. In order to reach the optimal result, checkusers on the English Wikipedia are required to adhere to the following conventions and practices:
- Checkusers are given discretion to check an account, but must always do so for legitimate purposes. Broadly, checks must be made only in order to prevent or reduce potential or actual disruption, or to investigate credible, legitimate concerns of bad faith editing.
- Checkusers often receive requests from non-checkusers that they check an account (though many checks are also initiated by the checkuser without direction, for instance because the checkuser has noticed a suspicious account). Where a check is initiated as a result of a request from a non-checkuser, that request may be received in public or in private. Requests received privately may be directed by the checkuser to be made publicly if the checkuser so desires, and vice versa.
- Unsubstantiated requests will be declined and a check will not be run (typically using the slogan "CheckUser is not for fishing"). On their own cognisance, checkusers may nonetheless privately make any check that falls within the bounds of CheckUser policy; this might include a check that they have elsewhere or earlier declined to make.
- The disclosure of actual CheckUser data (such as IP addresses) is subject to the privacy policy, which requires that identifying information not be disclosed except under the following circumstances:
- With the permission of the affected user;
- Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to non-checkusers to allow the making of IP blocks or rangeblocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers or network operators; and
- Where it could reasonably be thought necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.
These conventions arise out of practice that has emerged in the years since the checkuser tool was created, and in some cases out of rulings or "statements of best practice" by the Audit Subcommittee (now disbanded) and the Arbitration Committee.
IP information disclosure
[edit]Checkusers may state that different named accounts are operated from the same IP or range, so long as the actual IP address(es) are not specified, or if only non-specific details are given (such as the name of the country, region, or large ISP associated with the IP address). If the checkuser's statement could not lead to another person divining the personal identity of the user accounts in question, such disclosure would be permissible. However, on the English Wikipedia, checkusers are discouraged from making a public statement that connects one or more IP addresses to one or more named accounts, since an IP address is often much more tightly linked to a specific person. (In the case of larger IP ranges, this discouragement is not as great because larger ranges mean a less specific connection can be drawn.) When announcing the results of their checks, checkusers will employ a variety of means to avoid connecting a user to an IP address, but in some cases it is hard to avoid doing so. This policy encourages English Wikipedia checkusers not to allow such connections to be made from their results, but the global privacy policy allows them to do so in the case of serious disruption, and this policy allows checkusers to prioritise compliance with Wikipedia policy over the personal privacy of a user who has abusively edited the encyclopedia.
In some situations, while checkusers can endeavour to avoid explicitly connecting an account to an IP address, they will find it difficult or impossible not to do so. For instance, when a user edits disruptively using multiple IPs, or a mixture of IPs and accounts, the checkuser will find it difficult to block the accounts and then the IP addresses without an obvious inference being drawn by onlookers from the series of blocks being made in a short period of time. When a user abusively uses several accounts and it is reasonably plausible they will create more accounts, the underlying IP range must be blocked so further abusive accounts cannot be made. The IP addresses and user accounts must therefore be blocked together.
Users who engage in problematic conduct to the point that requests for administrative action or blocking are raised and considered valid for CheckUser usage—and where a checkuser then determines the user probably has engaged in such conduct—must expect the protection of the project to be given a higher priority than the protection of those who knowingly breach its policies.
IP information retention
[edit]Information about users (like their IP address) is retained for a limited period on Wikimedia Foundation sites. Data retention is limited in this way because incidents or actions that are not current rarely require investigation.
Guidance given to checkusers
[edit]m:CheckUser policy advises that even if the user is committing abuse, personal information should if possible not be revealed. Checkusers are advised as follows:
- Generally, don't reveal IP addresses when announcing their results. Only give generalized results, such as that one account uses the same network (or a different network) to another account. If detailed information is provided, make sure the person you are giving it to is a trusted person who will not reveal it. Typically, such information should not be given to people who are not functionaries or experienced administrators; it would be best to deal with the abusive accounts with other checkusers.
- If the user has said they're from a certain region and their IP address confirms that, you are permitted to declare that CheckUser verifies they are.
- If you're in any doubt, give no detail – and "answer like a Magic 8-Ball"!
On the English Wikipedia, checkusers asked to run a check must have clear evidence that a check is appropriate and necessary. The onus is on an individual checkuser to explain, if challenged, why a check was run. The CheckUser log is regularly examined by arbitrators. All actions associated with the CheckUser tool, especially public or off-wiki actions, are subject to public view and can result in a complaint being filed with the Arbitration Committee, the Wikimedia Foundation Ombuds Commission, or both. Checkusers who run checks based on an unsubstantiated accusation may be cautioned or subject to sanctions, up to and including the revocation of their permissions; for a previous example of this, see this 2009 investigation by the Audit Subcommittee.
Fishing
[edit]"Fishing" is to check an account where there is no credible evidence to suspect sockpuppetry. Checks are inappropriate unless there is evidence suggesting abusive sockpuppetry. For example, it is not fishing to check an account where the alleged sockmaster is unknown, but there is reasonable suspicion of sockpuppetry, and a suspected sockpuppet's operator is sometimes unknown until a CheckUser investigation is concluded. Checks with a negative result do not mean the check was initially invalid.

[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
Election timeline
[edit]- Self-nomination period from Sunday 00:00, 03 November 2024 (UTC) until Tuesday 23:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC) (10 days) → interested editors can submit a candidate statement. An editor is eligible to stand as a candidate who:

- is not prevented from submitting their candidacy by a block or ban,
- meets the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public personal data, is willing to sign the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, and
- has disclosed any previous or alternate accounts in their election statements (legitimate accounts which have been declared to the Arbitration Committee before the close of nominations do not need to be publicly disclosed).
- Voting period from Tuesday 00:00, 19 November 2024 (UTC) until Monday 23:59, 02 December 2024 (UTC) (14 days) → eligible voters can vote on the candidates, using the SecurePoll system. An editor is eligible to vote who:

For more details, see the instructions for scrutineers.
Community notification
[edit]When voting starts, a mass message will be sent out to all eligible voters that have been active within the last 12 months and meet other criteria. If this cannot be done within 72 hours of the voting starting, the Electoral Commission may elect to notify all eligible voters.
Citing a Source
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I was helping contribute to the Orange Pi page, and I needed to cite a certain part(YT8531 Ethernet Chip). I found a data sheet by the manufactures, Motorcomm. However, in the first page, I see this Copyright Statement:
"This document is copyright of Motorcomm Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. ("Motorcomm"). All rights reserved. No
company or individual may copy, disseminate, disclose or otherwise distribute any part of this document to any third

I am unsure if this makes this datasheet not stable, and I do not want to risk with Copyright. Can I cite this? A.W (talk) 22:50, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Alexander Wil, Welcome to the Teahouse. I haven't looked at the specific document you are referring to but here is my advice.

- Thank you for such references. I have cited a datasheet from LCSC (https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/lcsc_datasheet_2302091130_Motorcomm-YT8531C_C5357044.pdf) for the part needed. I will make sure to use these websites in future edits for both my personal assignments and Wikipedia Entries. A.W (talk) 00:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
