Opinion Polling next UK Gen Election: graph

Hi, I understand from user:Impru20 that he will add if polling results for Greens are in the main table for the entire period 2010-2014. Since I learnt that from Impru, 7 days ago, I've added 7+ months of Green Party shares in 2014 and to 31 rows of the 2010 table (that I had to add the new column to first, and is harder, because fewer of teh URLs are correct after 4 years). Perhaps, 81.58.144.30, you want to join me in filling in the data? DrArsenal (talk) 18:20, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks for all the work! I'll start adding some old Green Party figures :) Chessrat (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I was really pleased to see that you have come back to working on them: it feels like the end is in sight! ...However, can you be more careful, please - I was looking through the diffs of those you did in the early hours, and noticed some obvious errors - a couple of times when you forgot to adjust the 'others' and some where you seem to have wrongly 'corrected' ComRes and ICM polls. For the ComRes ones I have added notes so editors can see where to look when they think of editing that particular poll - perhaps you could have a look to see why I have put the figures I have in the table? Please don't let that put you off working on the backlog of Green shares - and please do ask for advice/ideas if you think it will help. Thanks DrArsenal (talk) 22:32, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for spotting that! I had tried to get into a routine of updating "others"- but must have gone too carelessly and missed a few. Sorry about that. Those ComRes tables are very confusing, so I think in the future I'll skip them when doing the general editing, and get back to them later if no one else has finished them. Once again, thanks so much for doing all of this work! Chessrat (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Absolutely. I think both Headlightmorning and I have found (having done it strictly by date first) that it is easier to get into a routine of doing a load of polls of one particular pollster before moving on to different pollsters. DrArsenal (talk) 13:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the contributions

	Beans on toast for you!
	Thanks for all your work so now we have good coverage of green shares all the way back to October 2011. I also noticed that it was just as well we were working on different years, otherwise we would have had an edit conflict tonight. So, in the interests of avoiding edit conflicts, any thoughts what bit you will try to tackle next? Any way BIG thanks. DrArsenal (talk) 22:08, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not sure what to tackle next. That October 2011 gap needs filling but the data is currently inaccessible... Same with many 2010 surveys. I don't know if the data has been intentionally been made private or accidentally concealed. Will probably fill in the 2012 gaps once other jobs have been done. And try to find the missing 2010 data. Chessrat (talk) 23:39, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for getting 2010 done.

Oct 2011 YouGovs seem to be the biggest problem, but try as I might, I can't find them. Techniques that have found all sorts of others don't work with them. So, time to ask impru20 to change the 'Graphical Summary', I think? DrArsenal (talk) 07:37, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

No problem :) Yep, I've tried to find October 2011 YouGovs as well, but no dice. Short of actually contacting YouGov themself, I think we've done the most we can do. Agreed, time for a graph update. Chessrat (talk) 10:35, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Nvm, found the Oct 2011s. https://yougov.co.uk/news/categories/politics/?page=153 http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/2011-10-24/YG-Archives-Pol-Sun-results-241011.pdf Will complete the table. Also, nice graph here. http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/inlineimage/2014-12-04/Monthlytotal.png Chessrat (talk) 13:13, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Cheers!

	Time to share a beer!
	I thought those of us who worked to backdate Green shares at Opinion polling for the 2015 United Kingdom general election and clear up the mess of the UKIP 2011 shares there should share a beer to celebrate 'mission accomplished'. DrArsenal (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

PROD rationale for Christina Cock (Swedish pioneer)

Technically, the article wasn't recently-created - it was buried in the edit history of a page that had morphed into a page about someone else (see Christina Cock and the deletion and move logs for that page, Christina Cock (Swedish pioneer), and the typo-generated page Christina Cock (Swedish poineer for details). The rest of your rationales are sound. Please consider re-wording "recently created" in your rationale. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:36, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

HH Ferry route

Hello ! You put an "advertise warning" on a part of the HH Ferry route article. I can see your point, and it was correctly done. It was unintentional bias from my side, due to the time I spend on this article - and could at the time perhaps not see "the forest due to all the trees". I have removed a lot of "coffee breaks" etc. So I wonder if could you kindly could have a new new look at the part. Perhaps even more ought to be removed, and I guess your eyes are not "contaminated" due to many hours, as still may be the case with me in this article. I'm very open for any kind of suggestion to improve the part further. Thanks ! Boeing720 (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Second attempt. I have now reduced the part even further. And as I now find it balanced - and you haven't made any comments (here or in the article), I removed the warning. I you think this was incorrectly done my me, just put it back. (and preferably with some comments to what still is wrong, if thst's the case) Thanks! Boeing720 (talk) 02:53, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dollarydoo

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello. A tag has been placed on Dollarydoo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I have a possible solution

Could you make the statistical tie between Clinton, Trump, and McMullin one color on the map? You can pick the color, this would make things easier. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:11, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

@Knowledgekid87: That would work, but goes against the long-standing convention of stripes=tie, and would be less easy to understand at first glance.

Doug Jones

I have undone your RM closure after less than an hour, and opened the RM again per IAR. There was no consensus between the two titles, and a rush to establish a stable title would be inappropriate and make it more difficult for whomever eventually closes the RM. Please let the ongoing discussion play out. I've move protected it also to let the RM play out, but if there is a clear consensus for a SNOW close over the next day or so, myself or another uninvolved admin can execute a move.

Proposal from User:DemocraticSocialism

I see that you support the idea of merging the "List of Roman emperors" and the "List of Byzantine emperors" articles. Although I agree, I've come up with a compromise solution: merge the two, and retitle it, "List of Roman and Byzantine emperors".

Please write back! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DemocraticSocialism (talk • contribs) 17:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

TOC in Deaths in 2018

Hi. The TOC as you recently modified it only currently appears in completed archived versions of the Deaths pages which have all the date links working. The "TOC right" in use (agreed during historic consensus) adds a link for each day during the work-in-progress page that is the current Deaths in 2018, and contains no redlinks or non-working date links. A change such as the one you made would require a new consensus among editors and needs a section opened on the talk page to discuss such a change. Thanks.

American Politics editing

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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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 the 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.

Moving 2020 Portland, Oregon mayoral election

Hi! Could I ask you to revert changing the title of the article, please? Disambiguation is required as there's a Portland, Maine with a similar series of articles about their mayoral election. The change has also made the history of Mayoral election pages related to Portland, Oregon inconsistent. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andymcmillan (talk • contribs) 23:30, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I see your point and I think a talk page discussion would probably be most appropriate, to get input from others. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 08:10, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I would like to suggest that you revert the change as it is breaking consistency in the naming convention. It should be discussed on the relevant Talk page(s).

List of chess players by peak FIDE rating

Hi – thanks for all your work on chess articles here! I updated List of chess players by peak FIDE rating#2020s, and in the process I also checked the sections on the previous decades that you set up in this edit. I found what seem to be some errors, and before I correct them I wanted to check with you, since the sources for historical FIDE ratings are so shaky that some of this might be due to differences in our sources (or their interpretation). I'm working with the lists at https://ratings.fide.com that go back to 2000 and the earlier ones at OlimpBase (https://olimpbase.com, click on "Elo lists 1971-2001" in the right-hand sidebar). Please let me know whether you come to a different conclusion on any of these items or whether I can make the changes as described. thanks! Joriki (talk) 20:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

1970s

The date for Vassily Smyslov's rating of 2620 is stated as 1971-01. According to the OlimpBase list table, the January 1971 list was unofficial and the July 1971 list (where he had the same rating) was the first official FIDE list, so I think that should be 1971-07.

The date for Leonid Stein's rating of 2620 is stated as 1972-01. According to the OlimpBase list table, the only list in 1972 is from July, but I'm not sure how precise the months for these initial lists are – do you have other sources on this? In that table, Leonid Stein is rated 2620, and in the July 1971 list he's only rated 2605, so I think the date for that peak should be 1972-07.

1980s

The date for Ulf Andersson's rating of 2640 is stated as 1983-01. I think this should be 1983-07, as he's rated 2640 on the July 1983 list but only 2630 on the January 1983 list.

1990s

Vassily Ivanchuk is ranked as 9, but he's tied for 8= with Alexei Shirov.

You have a peak of 2712 in 1999-07 for Boris Gelfand, but Gelfand is rated 2713 on the July 1999 list, so he should be tied for 12= with Peter Svidler at 2713.

2000s

You wrote a footnote about the discrepancy in FIDE's data on Kramnik's peak rating in January 2002. I looked into that issue and posted my findings under the existing discussion at Talk:Vladimir Kramnik#Was his peak rating 2809 or 2811? – I'd be interested in your take on that. As I argue there, I believe the correct rating for January 2002 is 2811. If we do stick with 2809 though, the date should be 2001-10, not 2002-01, since he reached 2809 already in October 2001.

I think Vugar Gashimov's peak at 2758 dated 2009-11 is correct, but he's missing in the complete November 2009 rating list; this rating is only in the November 2009 top 100 ranking list and on his archived personal profile page (which no longer exists on the FIDE site). He doesn't seem to be missing in any of the other lists; it's strange that it happens to be this peak that's missing. (It's not his overall peak rating, which was in the 2010s, but it's his peak ranking at #6. Incidentally, if the 2758 rating in November 2009 should turn out to be wrong, he'd still be in the top 20, with a peak of 2740 at #20 in July 2009.)

Boris Gelfand is ranked as 15 with a peak rating of 2758; if Gashimov's above rating of 2758 is correct, the two should be tied for 14=.

Ruslan Ponomariov's peak is stated as 2741 in 2009-09, but his personal profile page, the top 100 for April 2002 and the complete rating list for April 2002 agree that he was rated 2743 in April 2002, so this should be 2743 dated 2002-04. (That doesn't change his ranking at 20.)

2010s

Viswanathan Anand's peak rating of 2817 is dated 2011-09, but he already reached this rating on the March 2011 list, so this should be 2011-03.

Teimour Radjabov's peak rating of 2793 is dated 2012-10, but he only reached this rating on the November 2012 list; his rating on the October 2012 list was 2792, so this should be 2012-11.

General

It seems that you didn't include inactive players. (For instance, Kasparov's rating of 2812 isn't in the 2010s list, and Fischer's rating of 2780 isn't in the 1990s and 2000s lists.) If so, I think this should be stated?

That's the standard- no reliable sources like FIDE report such inactive players in their rating lists. However, there'd be no harm in including a note like that. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 21:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

The complete FIDE rating lists do include inactive players; there's a flag for that at the end of the line. The top 100 lists don't include them.

No comment on any of the other items? Joriki (talk) 22:47, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

My apologies- I'd somehow overlooked more sections above that! Thank you very much for your detailed work. Looking at it all...

-I used Olimpbase and the FIDE ratings website too, so in the discrepancies you found that is likely a case of error on my part.

-Having checked it, everything of the Smyslov, Stein, Andersson, Ivanchuk, Gelfand, Ponomariov, Anand, and Radjabov peaks seem to be what you said.

-The footnote about Kramnik was based on one previously existing in his main article. Given your analysis, I think putting the figure at 2811 would be most appropriate, but it's still probably worthwhile to have a footnote there mentioning the source discrepancy.

-On Gashimov, I have no idea why he doesn't appear in that FIDE archive but in general the 2758 figure seems accurate from the other sources.

-And on the inactive players, I'd be perfectly fine with a footnote mentioning that they're not included. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 23:17, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your rapid response. I made all the changes. Joriki (talk) 10:03, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

New Wikipedia Guideline Proposed which you might be interested in.

Hello. I am letting editors know who participated in the recent discussions that decided whether the Killing of David Amess should be called "killing, murder, or assassination", about a new Wikipedia essay being proposed for a new guideline. The essay, Wikipedia:Assassination, explains how the common definition of "assassination" does not determine an article's title. Only reliable sources can determine whether it is murder/killing or assassination. Since you participated in those recent discussions, I wanted to drop a message to you about this new proposal. If you want to leave your opinion about it, you can do so in this discussion. Have a good day and keep up the good editing! Elijahandskip (talk) 01:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

List of longest-reigning monarchs

The list of 32 states weren't reduced to 15 on the basis that Elizabeth was alive, they were reduced to 15 on the basis of the paragraph before the first table.

"Twenty-five longest-reigning monarchs of states that were internationally recognized as sovereign for most or all of their reign." (emphasis mine).

This means Elizabeth's passing does not require that all 32 states be included, because 16 of those states were not sovereign for most of her reign, they became sovereign over half way into her reign.

If you think they should all be included (and consolidated), then that'll need to be the subject of an RFC. Though I recommend taking the previous two RFCs into account. El Dubs (talk) 22:10, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

2023 Hamas attacks on Israel move

I understand your reason to move the article to 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel but that should have happened via an RM.

2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies

I note your suggestion that this article be split, to which I responded with broad agreement. As nobody else seems to have contributed to the discussion, are you happy for me to proceed with this, as the main contributor to the article? No doubt some tidying up would also be desirable. I see you added a table of demographic changes in Northern Ireland. I don't think this level of detail is appropriate for this article which deals with the whole of the UK. I suggest it is included in List of parliamentary constituencies in Northern Ireland. JSboundaryman (talk) 10:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

My edit reverting your unexplained removal of the BBC source was the only revert I have made on the article in question in the last 24 hours, so no, it wasn't. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 00:36, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Fine I can report it to AE in a bit. nableezy - 00:43, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Chessrat, for future reference, your edit was fine and this 1RR notice is without merit. See [1]. Coretheapple (talk) 04:09, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Joaquín Torres-García

The article body of Joaquín Torres-García cites they married in 1909. The other article Manolita Piña cites a marriage year of 1908. I don't have access to those writings; could you help confirm the year and fix appropriately? Cheers, --Engineerchange (talk) 12:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't have access to the sources either, unfortunately. Manolita Piña cites a specific date in the article text so I would assume that that is the correct one. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 12:57, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I added a citation needed; can't confirm either way is my take. --Engineerchange (talk) 13:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Reversing Politically Motivated Page Changes

Hello Chessrat. Thank you for fixing the politically-motivated change on Ariel (Israeli settlement). Unfortunately, other pages, including Judea and Samaria Area and Ma'ale Adummim have been targeted with the same misleading use of the Palestinian flag. If you have the time, I'd recommend making similar reversions on those articles. Thank you. Theirishisraeli (talk) 22:15, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Klbrain (talk) 15:17, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@Klbrain: May I ask what "unproosed" means? I've searched for it and can't find any information on it. And I'm not sure in what way you believe the split went against WP:SPLIT- the embassy itself is a very clearly distinct topic to the organization and it is standard for embassies to have their own articles so it's a pretty clear case of WP:CONSPLIT. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 15:24, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

A simple typo! I had meant, of course, 'not proposed'! Even independently notable topics don't need or warrant separate pages, if they can be discussed better in the context of the broader topic. The Indigenous Coalition for Israel is really short, so having more material consolidated there is helpful. So, the formal reasons for the merge are short text and context (not on the grounds of notability). Please also see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia; there were 3 copies of very similar text, the other version previously being at The Friends of Zion Museum#Indigenous People Embassy.

• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Deletion discussion about Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency

Hello Chessrat, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notional results of the 2019 United Kingdom general election by 2024 constituency.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dclemens1971}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

1918 election article

Just wanted to say well done for proposing the RM – that article title has been on my list of minor annoyances for a very long time, but I had some very unpleasant experiences with Irish nationalist POV pushers in my early days on Wikipedia and never really fancied dealing with the inevitable flak that would come with it. Thankfully most of the ones from back then seem to have disappeared over the years, but best of luck with the discussion! Number 57 01:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Non-admin closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election

Hi there. I am curious about your decision to close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election under WP:SNOW. According to WP:NACAFD, "a closure earlier than seven days may take place if a reason given in either Wikipedia:Speedy keep or Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion applies. Note that, per WP:SK#NOT, this does not authorize WP:SNOW closures." I agree with the outcome but I am concerned the early close may have short-circuited the discussion. Thoughts? Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

@Dclemens1971 Thanks for bringing this to my attention- I had searched through the guidelines to ascertain if there was a rule preventing early closures under WP:SNOW, and evidently overlooked that one. Had I noticed it, rather than performing a non-admin closure I would instead have pinged the AfD creator suggesting they withdraw the nomination, given that their reason for nominating the article for deletion (namely, that no voting intention opinion polls existed) was no longer applicable. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 21:42, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

After sleeping on it, I thought it would be best to allow other "redirect" !voters to have had a chance to weigh in again, given the new evidence, and for an admin to interpret whether SNOW applied, so I have posted this close at deletion review: Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election. No actual disagreement about the ultimate outcome but want to respect the other redirect voices (like mine; I was actually in the process of updating my !vote when it was closed and I saved my change after the actual close happened). Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, just a courtesy heads-up that I've reopened this debate per the 'uninvolved administrator' clause at WP:NACD. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 20:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

December 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Robert Irwin (television personality), without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. As this move has previously been discussed with consensus for current title, I have reverted your move per WP:RMUM. Please make a WP:RM nomination on talk page if you still want the article to be moved. Happily888 (talk) 01:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Happily888: That's alright if the disambiguation is contested (as is evidently the case given your reversion of the move), but I am curious as to why you started your message with "welcoming me to Wikipedia" when I have been an active user for several years longer than you have? Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 01:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Flag of Syria. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Chetsford (talk) 03:34, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi

Due to the fast-moving number of edits involving Syria-related topics I want to ensure that enforcement sanctions related to WP:CTOP are not accidentally applied on an editor.

In this edit [2] you said you've added a source that indicates the Flag of Syria has recently changed. Before making any other edits to WP please clearly identify the source you've added by replying to this message. I was not able to identify the addition of any such source myself but, out of a preponderance of caution, want to check with you first. Thanks! Chetsford (talk) 04:02, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Actually, nevermind. I've had a chance to look at some of your recent edits and I think the interests of the project would be best served by blocking you for a very short period, probably no more than 24 hours. Please let me know if you disagree, ideally before you make any additional edits. Thank you! Chetsford (talk) 04:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Chetsford: The source was just one of many which exist which report that the Assad government has fallen, which is reported widely. The edit I made was moving the Assad-era flag from the lede to the historic flags section. I'm not sure what the problem is or why you viewed it as appropriate to revert such a large number of people making similar edits. Note that shortly prior to this, consensus had emerged at the Syria article to stop using the Assad-era flag as a current flag too. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 09:14, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

What was the source? Just go ahead and post a URL so I can check to see if it was in your edit. Also, please wikilink to the consensus that was established prior to the timestamp of your edit. Thanks! Chetsford (talk) 16:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

This was the source that I added: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/syria-rebels-celebrate-captured-homs-set-sights-damascus-2024-12-07/

My edit to Flag of Syria was at 03:51 UTC; the Syria article has not had the Assad-era flag present in the infobox since this edit at 02:51 UTC https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Syria&diff=prev&oldid=1261815662 (and there were many more edits to that article within the following hour indicating a stable consensus had developed) Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 16:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

The source doesn't mention the flag at all. It appears you slapped in an unrelated source to game the system by providing a (very thin) veneer of deniability.
Insofar as the claim of a "consensus" based on an edit to the Syria article: the edit you cited occurred less than one hour before your sweeping rewrite of the article [3] and, during the time preceding your edit, was reverted no less than four times by three different editors. There is no believable way an editor with your experience would have construed that to have been the emergence of a stable consensus.
All that said, given the fact that the cadence of problematic edits experienced earlier today has largely abated, the protective utility in the application of user-level discretionary sanctions is no longer warranted. Chetsford (talk) 16:51, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you are acting in this way and making baseless accusations of bad faith. There was a strong effective consensus from around 03:00 UTC that the Assad regime had ended and numerous editors got to work updating the various articles to reword articles relating to Syria as a result– see e.g. the quick development of the Ba'athist Syria article which I had started in draftspace earlier and got moved into mainspace by other editors around that time.

The only disputes from around 03:00 onwards were around how articles should be worded (e.g. whether Syria should contain the opposition flag in the infobox or no flag). You're the only editor I have noticed who, long after that point, actively disrupted other editors working on the various updates and thereby incorrectly re-inserting information implying the Assad regime was still in power. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 17:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

You made a sweeping edit to a WP:CTOP article; not on the basis of any new sources (you didn't add any) but because of an alleged "stable consensus" you said you were implementing. When asked to point to that "stable consensus", your proof was an edit [4] made less than 60 minutes prior, and which was reverted at least four times by three different editors [5], [6], [7], [8] in the intervening period.

I was convinced these were disruptive edits by you that no longer required any active intervention since consensus may have, indeed, caught up with the premature edits you were making. And that the matter could be concluded. Your last statement, however, in which you seem to double-down on your earlier enunciated belief that a "stable consensus" existed inclines me to think there may be a more holistic WP:CIR that needs to be examined, though I'd stop short of saying I'm convinced of that at this point. I'll let you know if I have additional questions. Thanks. Chetsford (talk) 18:16, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out those edits– every time I looked at the main Syria article the regime flag wasn't there, but evidently didn't notice that some editors had tried to reinstate it but been swiftly reverted. As it seems that you weren't the only editor doing so, I now appreciate you weren't acting in an intentionally disruptive manner with your edits.
