Talk to me

Interview request

My name is Daniel, and I’m a senior at Harvard University currently writing an undergraduate thesis about Wikipedia. I’m particularly interested in how the Wikipedia community decides what facts are relevant and/or notable enough to warrant inclusion on a particular article — especially in regards to articles on contentious topics.

I noticed that you’ve been quite active editing the “COVID-19 pandemic” article over the past few months. So, would you mind if I send you a few questions (via email or right here) about your work editing that article, and the approach that you take? I’d really love to hear from you.

Thanks so much! --Dalorleon (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just checking in again, Humanengr! I'd love to ask you some questions about your editing work for Wikipedia. Let me know if you're available. If not, no worries! --Dalorleon (talk) 16:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tulsi Gabbard political positions inquiry

Hey Humanengr, I saw your message you left on my talk page about taking a look at Tulsi Gabbards political positions, could you clarify for me what I need to look at, I would love to give some notes and help shape up that article. Eruditess (talk) 19:56, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eruditess, Excellent! I've actually started one approach on this sandbox, where I've been paring down a copy of the existing Pol pos page, removing pretty much all the quotes and trimming material such as that which is sourced only to congress.gov. (I've only pared from the start of the Domestic positions § through Health Care.)

You're welcome to edit that draft into shape to merge onto the bio page to make it conform more to the extent to which Buttigieg, Harris, and Sanders cover their pol pos page mat'l on their bio pages. Does that make sense? (UPDATE: I appended the bio page pol pos § so we have that handy.) Humanengr (talk) 21:22, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eruditess, I'd welcome your thoughts when you have time. Humanengr (talk) 19:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I made a second version, regrouping under the 6 headings from 1/14/2019 (shortly after campaign announcement). Next step is probably a bit more lower-level rearrangement and further paring. Humanengr (talk) 19:18, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Eruditess, I'm thinking now of splitting the bio page Pol Pos § into 3 main sub-§§: Foreign policy, Domestic issues, Governance, with a 4th for Trump administration. Do you have any thoughts on the following:

A Foreign policy § structured like this?
A Domestic issues § consisting of these §§ in addition to the ones currently on the bio page (Drug policy and criminal justice reform; Environment; Healthcare and GMO labeling; LGBT issues)?
A Governance § like this?
A Trump administration § like this?

The other main issue of course is which and how much of this material should be added.

Coming at this from the other end, I’m gonna see what can be cleaned up on the existing bio page in advance of whatever might be added from the above.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Disambiguation link notification for December 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Science of Identity Foundation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page President-elect Trump. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
