Intractable behavior in regard of the Me Too movement article
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Salamandra85 (talk) 18:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC) You roughly violated the most important not negotiable neutrality rule, tried to keep content biased and censored, removed the key points with secondary and other sources (also neutrality rule), extensively added original research and removal even the requests of sources, and by now the bad faith can be assumed (you are so much biased) and so this can be considered vandalism. More details: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=924913943#Intractable_behavior_of_users_CorbieVreccan,_Bishonen,_Yunshui

Strikethrough
FYI, the proper markup is ; the long-winded version hasn't been valid HTML since the 1990s, and using it on WP just adds more load to the WP:LINT cleanup efforts. :-)  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)


 * A five-letter code may not be preferred by all, now that there's also a one-letter version, but if a code works, and this does, it's not correct to call it "invalid". I'll assume you're trying to be helpful here, but changing others' edits this way doesn't always come off as helpful. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 20:32, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Skowhegan article
Hi Corbie. Over on the Skowhegan, Maine article, the entirety of the mascot issue was deleted, initially no discussion. I initiated conversation but the editor who removed it would not budge. Another editor restored it and it was removed again. The section was well sourced and in my response I showed that it was of national interest. I had moved it over to the school district page but it was removed there as well. I feel as if the individuals involved don't understand that in the United States, the mascot issue has been happening for decades and has garnered even international attention. I am not sure what to do about this because according to the sources this isn't a one time recent issue in the town of Skowhegan and it spills over from the high school.

Wounded Knee Massacre statement that it was "the largest domestic massacre in U.S. history"
Hello, I am KVJackson (talk) 12:14, 4 January 2020 (UTC). I concur with your 1 Jan 2020 reversion to my edits on the Wounded Knee Massacre page on Wikipedia, in that referencing another Wikipedia article is a circular reference.

Respectfully, a question: the current page statement that Wounded Knee was "the largest domestic massacre in U.S. history."

Does this statement not need a supporting inline citation / reputable source?

There are other massacres in U.S. history that rival or exceed the number of casualties at Wounded Knee on 29 Dec 1890, including the Fort Mims Massacre of 1813 and the Wyoming Valley Massacre of 1778.

References for the Fort Mims Massacre casualties, between 250 to 400, include: http://www.fortmims.org/history/history03.html ; and Davis, Karl. ""Remember Fort Mims:" Reinterpreting the Origins of the Creek War." Journal of the Early Republic 22, no. 4 (2002): 611-36. doi:10.2307/3124760.

References for the Wyoming Valley Massacre casualties, between 301 to 376, (including a recognized payment of 227 scalps): https://explorepahistory.com/hmarker.php?markerId=1-A-219 ; and "The Iroquois in the American Revolution" by Barbara Graymont, Syracuse University Press, 1972, available at https://archive.org/details/iroquoisinameric00gray/page/170.

Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
 * A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
 * Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration
 * The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
 * Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee:, , , , , , , , , ,.

A barnstar for you!
Thank you!

English word.
I not going to keep correcting the page, you can do that. You're suggesting that I could sit outside a teepee and write down everything I heard. Then copy these words to a dictionary and whala the Indians are now speaking English. And since they have been speaking the same language for ever, their native language is English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.169.164.146 (talk) 22:53, 13 January 2020 (UTC)


 * As I said on your talk page and in the edit summaries, this is an English-language term. There is no equivalent standalone word in any Indigenous language that is used the way the English term is used. The article is about the use of the English term. I think that is clear if you read the article. Again, take this up on the talk page of the article, with sources that support the changes you are trying to make if you want to press this. Edit-warring without adding any new sourcing is not the way forward, especially with established, stable, sourced content. Best, - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 23:07, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation
Hi Corbie. I have already asked Oshwah to take a look but I figured a second set of eyes wouldn't hurt regarding Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation. Two IPs and a new editor are both adding unsourced content and are removing sources and sourced content. I warned the new editor twice now, no activity since the second warning. I don't know what else to do at this point. I removed the new content that was unsourced, I simply do not have time to source it and it was a lot. Indigenous girl (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It's on the user adding the content to source it. They also shouldn't be blanking sourced content. This is especially an issue if they have COI here. They've been warned and I've added it to my watchlist. The disruption seems to have stopped for now, but if it resumes I'll step in. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 23:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

About how long is normal for a response to editing discussion?
CorbieVreccan, I'd thanked you for your guidance a few days ago and had 2 additional questions I'd posted in the response on my talk page. I was looking forward to hearing back from you as I'd made the changes you asked for but want to ensure I move forward correctly. How long do replies typically take as I don't want to rush you but I want to ensure I'm following up as I should to contribute and share with Wikipedia. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beaches.boats.mtns (talk • contribs) 21:06, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The answers are in the informational links I posted on your talk page. Please read the information I posted on your talk page about copyright and sourcing, along with the information about the rules all users must follow here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a webhost, personal listing site, or blog. We are legally responsible for all content published here. You cannot just copy and paste content from other sites, or blank sourced content just because you don't like it. These rules apply to all users. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 21:20, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

January 2020
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Native American mascot controversy; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sandcherry (talk)


 * Uh, nope. I don't think you understand how this works. You have been reverted by two other editors. You are the one who is edit-warring. You do not have consensus for the reverts you keep making, and just throwing back a template at the editor who has warned you, after you've been warned, is not convincing. Respect the process of collaboration and consensus on talk. This is a basic principle of participation on Wikipedia. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 22:26, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Little Big Man photo
Hi Corbie: I'm MillenialScholar The caption for lower photo on Little Big Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Big_Man is incorrect, as it derives from an incorrect note in the Library of Congress. Little Big Man is not in fact in this photo, as the person identified as him is in fact Sharp Nose, a Northern Arapaho. Page 15 of this book has the correct caption: https://books.google.com/books?id=js_3q0j-hv4C&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false MillennialScholar (talk) 20:56, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Article Angaangaq Lyberth
Hello Corbie, I tried to adapt the article about Angaangaq Lyberth, which you did not appreciate :) I understand that links to Websites are not welcome at Wikipedia. In my opinion the link of the film documentary of German TV which can be seen until 2022 is a reliable ressource. It is done by ZDF which is a public broadcasting station in Germany. They call him a Shaman and Elder. Also the books which are posted as ressources are talking about him as a shaman not about a politician. Please can you give me a short reply. Thanks, Michaela- new at Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.149.167.102 (talk) 09:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem is not with all websites, it's with the type of websites. Event listings, commercial sites, and other unsourced promotional materials are not Reliable Sources for Wikipedia articles. As to his claims to be a spiritual leader in an Indigenous community, these things need to be sourced to the Indigenous communities themselves, not German television presenters or new age sources. If he is a new age practitioner you can list him as that. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 21:45, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Yes in somes ways I get your point, though in Europe, especially Germany, Austria, Switzerland he is much more known and accepted as a significant spiritual teacher- not as a self made "new age-person". Just one question: Why would you not see the "Parliament of the Worlds Religions" (which I had linked) as a reliable source- there are all religions of the world represented and e.g. Dalai Lama or Archbishop Desmond Tutu are one of the honorary advisers. Michaela — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.149.166.5 (talk) 08:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Despite their official-sounding name, the "PoWR", as they call themselves in their fundraising emails, is a private organization that holds interfaith gatherings. A wide range of participants attend and present, and these presenters bona fides are generally not vetted. There are controversies around it. His listing is yet another self-penned bio and event listing. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 18:58, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi there,

Thank you for the welcome and the resources! The reason I have been editing the Shamanism page is precisely for the reasons you pointed out: the concept is often used as a means for erasure. In my edits, I tried to focus on the particularity of Indigenous lifeways in order to counteract the notions of universality and pan-Indigeneity prevalent on this page. I believe including Indigenous voices within the conversation on shamanism is crucial to developing an understanding of the term's arbitrariness, as well as its colonial history. This inclusion is something I hope to work towards on this page.

Please let me know of any other resources that may help in this endeavour!

Best,

Special:WantedTemplates
Hi, I have been cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates and noticed that [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:%22_%2B_%22oldafdfull%22_%2B_%22 Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_"oldafdfull"_+_"] is pointing to your monobook.js pages. clearly these are false positives (basically a bug in how WP parses .js pages). it would be really great if you could add to the top and  to the bottom of those pages. by putting these tags in comments, it won't prevent the javascript from executing, but it will remove those pages from [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:%22_%2B_%22oldafdfull%22_%2B_%22 Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:"_+_"oldafdfull"_+_"]. alternatively, if you are no longer using the monobook skin (many people are using vector these days) and don't need to keep the old page, you could just have the page deleted. thank you in advance for your help.
