Hahaha thanks 🍻 I think sometimes people get either a little excessively defensive of their fav celebrities or overly invested in online conflict, and then they start vandalizing accurate and relevant info out of spite.

I just took a brief glance at their page and it’s clear that they’re upset about the edit warring that they’re engaging in, but it’s equally clear that they’re digging in their heels instead of stepping back and giving themselves what they need, which is a break from thinking about it 🤷‍♀️ SALLY 9000 (talk) 05:40, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Haha i subscribe 100%, it can be annoying for everybody. Speaking on such user's investment, if you want leave a comment / vote on Talk:Cardi B#RfC. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:49, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cornerstonepicker, take note that the above message is against canvassing rules. – robertsky (talk) 10:09, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Robertsky Please note for the record that the above canvassing did not result in any activity on the linked Talk page in question on my part. I don’t have a horse in this race except to keep Wikipedia information accurate and complete to the best of my admittedly novice ability. SALLY 9000 (talk) 13:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

September 2021

Hello, I'm Robertsky. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Nicki Minaj, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – robertsky (talk) 10:06, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Robertsky Hello, this is a valid concern, and based on the information you have provided I have taken steps to remove additional content in the article that cites the same unreliable source except where discussion in the Talk page is requested. Thank you for helping to keep Wikipedia accurate. SALLY 9000 (talk) 13:13, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I went through briefly your editing history and realised that you have a gap in editing on this account. Barring you being editing while logged out scenario, you might not have been aware of the series of discussions on Wikipedia and changes that Forbes made to its website design to blur the distinction between contributors and its staff.

Previously Forbes' own staff were publishing on www.forbes.com with editorial oversight whilst contributors on blogs.forbes.com without editorial oversight. Somewhen Forbes changed its design and blogs.forbes.com was merged into www.forbes.com.

When evaluating any articles from Forbes as a source, we now have to check the author's byline to see if they are a staff or contributor (contributor, senior contributor, former contributer, etc). If they are written by a staff, they are considered as generally reliable, otherwise, they aren't considered as so. Cheers! and welcome back to editing on Wikipedia. – robertsky (talk) 13:59, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Robertsky I definitely wasn't aware of it until you let me know. Thanks a lot; I'll be mindful of it in the future. Cheers! SALLY 9000 (talk) 15:15, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanction alert

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 shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. 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.

TheresNoTime This sanction was created directly following my creation of a new section on Nicki Minaj's article highlighting her anti-vaccine statements, which were irresponsible in my (and certain government officials now named in the article) opinion, along with the public response to said statements. In light of what appears to be a censure of said edits, should I take it to mean that you are part of an anti-vaccine contingent of Wikipedia admins? I haven't edited Wikipedia in a while and it would be helpful to have a sense of the current climate on here (and a sense of how involved I need to get in combating anti-vaccine and broader anti-science sentiment on here). Edit: If I am interpreting this incorrectly, I apologize for the hostile tone; needless to say, I find anti-vax sentiment loathsome. SALLY 9000 (talk) 15:26, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
