re: Palmer Report page
Hi, the wikipedia page for Palmer Report was obviously created by a handful of competing news outlets that are allied with each other, as it consisted of literally nothing but links to baseless attack pieces published by those competitors. Today's edits simply added some of the numerous ways in which Palmer Report has been recognized by respected political figures, while explaining the factual circumstances behind the misleading attack pieces written by competing news outlets. This was an absurdly illegitimate page, written entirely from the point of view of Palmer Report's business competitors, until today's edits brought it into neutrality.

Palmer Report is a small site, and this page probably shouldn't exist at all, particularly as it was obviously created by Palmer Report's competitors and has no other reason to exist. But if the page is going to exist, it needs to tell both sides of the story. As it currently stands, it's about as neutral as can be. If it's reverted to the anti-Palmer propaganda piece that it was when the day began, then the page will be in wild violation of wikipedia's own guidelines. We'll be watching your next moves closely, and we'll take this all the way to the top if necessary. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.17.133.155 (talk) 08:59, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Smearing critical sources is a clear violation of the neutral point of view policy. It looks like someone else already beat me to it, but I'm going to be keeping an eye on the article to make sure it doesn't turn back into a puff piece. When a relatively small (but still notable) left-leaning website has been the subject of heavy criticism from various left-leaning sources ranging from Slate to The Atlantic, that is absolutely worthy of inclusion.

re: Palmer Report page
When a sitting U.S. Congressman, a respected former Governor, and a Harvard Law Professor have all expressed favorable views of the same small political site, that's a clear indicator that the site is respected. It's as least as relevant as attack pieces that have been published by that site's direct competitors. The references to Granholm, Lieu, and Tribe will be re-added. Any further attempt on your part to remove them will result in you being reported to the very upper ranks of wikipedia for clear bias, and if necessary, legal action. You are clearly biased in favor of the handful of sites that don't like Palmer Report, and your bias will not stand here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.17.133.155 (talk) 19:43, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

re: out of control moderator with extreme bias
This is your very last chance to stop removing the links to respected public figures Jennifer Granholm, Ted Lieu, and Laurence Tribe. The upper ranks of wikipedia don't put up with this kind of bias from moderators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.17.133.155 (talk) 19:51, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not a moderator, I've been here for like a week. And what are you going to do if I violate your little ultimatum? CJK09 (talk · contribs) 19:52, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm a moderator. And to be blunt, threats like this can have your account blocked. If you feel that this information belongs in the article, please discuss this on the talk page of Palmer Report. I will let you know, Twitter is generally not seen as a reliable source however. RickinBaltimore (talk) 19:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Doctor Who Showcase Series
Why do you need to delete the article: Doctor Who, the showcase series. I was gonna add links to pages about the real YouTube episodes. for example: link to Showcase 2. And I need time to finish this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic Probe (talk • contribs) 22:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell it's a completely insignificant YouTube series with only a few hundred views across dozens of videos. Just because it has Doctor Who in the name doesn't make it significant or notable. Now please stop harassing me. CJK09 (talk) 01:31, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

The Unite the Right rally page
Whoo-wee, it's a mess, ain't it? I don't particularly like folks changing the references around, but everything's gone haywire. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for your contributions to the article. Have a good one! Javert2113 (talk) 00:38, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! You're right, I should probably wait until the edits slow down to start working on source quality. Otherwise I'll just get a bunch of edit conflict messes to clean up.
 * I've only been at Wikipedia for a few weeks and still figuring stuff out. Is it considered problematic here to replace possibly controversial sources with noncontroversial ones? CJK09 (talk) 00:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Oops, just noticed this! Sorry! To your question, though, nope, not at all. We encourage that, in fact! We love our sources to be as reliable as possible, and as we all know, reliable sources tend to be pretty noncontroversial. And that's awesome! Javert2113 (talk) 04:54, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Rosa Paula Caetano
Hi, I moved the Portugese article to Draft:Rosa Paula Caetano, where you can translate it to english. Dan Koehl (talk) 18:43, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not actually familiar with Portuguese, so I can't translate it myself, but I've listed it at pages needing translation so someone else can take a look. (I know enough to recognize the language as Portuguese, but nothing beyond that) CJK09 (talk) 18:46, 26 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry, I never checked who started that article, I just took for granted it was you, anyhow, I wish you a nice day! Dan Koehl (talk) 18:49, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Copying references with new prose
If you copy content from one article to another you must, at minimum, supply attribution in the edit summary with both the copied article's title as a wikilink and the article title that it is being copied into with a statement soothing like; "Content from article title is being copied into article title " so that editors can check those links. However, if you simply re-use just the references and write completely original prose, no attribution is needed. It is not considered a merger or copying of content. Just in case you had done that with any edits at United States. Might save you a little time.--Mark Miller (talk) 04:46, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. Still figuring out how things work around here. CJK09 (talk) 04:55, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Unbanned
I've closed the unban discussion at WP:AN; there was unanimous support for rescinding the old community ban. There are probably a half dozen things I'm supposed to do, and I don't have time to do them all right this second, but I'll work through them this afternoon. It just looked like it would be a nice change to unban someone, so I did it even though I don't have time to do everything right this second. But as of now, even without all the i's dotted and t's crossed, you're unbanned, with no restrictions, and can immediately edit wherever you want. Diffs and stuff to come later. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:27, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I did assume you wanted to keep this account, and leave User:Access Denied blocked. Correct? --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:28, 31 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Correct, and thank you. I'd like to leave the user page at User:Access Denied as is for transparency purposes, just with a soft redirect to this userpage at the top. CJK09 (talk) 18:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I already kinda did that. Didn't want to leave the banned and sock templates there, because then it puts the page into all sorts of categories that aren't really applicable anymore. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks good. Can you just change "Agust" to "August" on the userpage? It's admin only protected so I can't edit it myself. CJK09 (talk) 18:40, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Gah. Thanks. Done. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:42, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
