Regarding Nampeyo Page
Nampeyo's daughter Annie Healing was not added to the list of descendants but is mentioned within a paragraph as her daughter. Annie and Willie Healing had a daughter named Beatrice. Beatrice married Vinton Naha and they had many children including a son, Willie Naha. Willie Naha was my father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.15.64.92 (talk) 20:42, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * As noted on your talk page, please read WP:WTAF and WP:RS. As we are writing an encyclopedia, everything needs to be sourced according to policies. It's against WP standards to add redlinks to See also sections, as that section is specifically for finding other, existing articles related to that person/topic.

Administrators' newsletter – March 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2021). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg TJMSmith
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Boing! said Zebedee • Hiberniantears • Lear's Fool • Only • WGFinley

Interface administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-add.svg AmandaNP

Guideline and policy news
 * A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
 * A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
 * A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Page mover/delete-redirect.
 * A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
 * There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news
 * When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
 * When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
 * There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (T275322).

Arbitration
 * By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
 * The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.

Miscellaneous
 * Following the 2021 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: AmandaNP, Operator873, Stanglavine, Teles, and Wiki13.

Order of Woodcraft Chivalry
Hi Corbie As you saw I tried to make an edit on the OWC Wikipedia page. I am a member of the the OWC and would like to make changes to the page to correct some missconceptions about the group. The particular entry associating the group with witchcraft in the New Forest is incorrect.

I would appreciate your help on how to make the changes properly.

thanks

 * Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news
 * When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem.
 * Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers.

Arbitration
 * A community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure is open until April 25.

Nomination of Munay-ki for deletion
Hello—I've nominated the article about Munay-ki for deletion, and thought you might be interested in weighing in: Munay-ki AfD. Suomichris (talk) 15:20, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

June 2021
Your recent editing history at St. Joseph's Indian School shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Elizium23 (talk) 04:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Interesting. But you didn't warn the sourced-content-blanking, POV-pushing, Catholic-COI-having, not engaging on talkpages, user, . Quite a few of Nate's attempts to remove sourced, but critical content from St. Joseph's Indian School could be considered vandalism, and my edits reversions of vandalism. This is not a simple content dispute, nor are you neutral here. This is you taking sides and misusing the templates. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 05:17, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus was reached to deprecate Editor assistance.
 * Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news
 * Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration
 * After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

Romani Americans
Hello CorbieVreccan, and thank you for removing copyright violations from the article. I remember that I had restored some sourced content which was previously removed without an explanation by an IP address, but I did not check the content I was restoring for any copyright violations. I would hate it if my edits made the copyright problem worse, and since I cannot check my revisions, would you be able to tell me if I made a mistake there? Would you have any tips and suggestions on how to better spot potential copyright violations? I feel that copyright violations is still an area on Wikipedia where my confidence is shaky at best. — The Most Comfortable Chair 03:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

No original research
Please add a source on St. Joseph's Indian School that states parents were given information from the school that mislead them prior to their kids sending them those letters. There is a source for the student letters, but otherwise it's original research to add what parents "assumed" about the school, etc. You can't add two different sources together if they both don't mention the letters and misleading information by the school per No original research.  oncamera (talk page)  22:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, ideally we need a source from a parent talking about what the recruiters said to them. The quote you put in your edit summary is not the one you removed. The quote in the source was, "Danielle Kucera, associate director of communications and outreach for the school, told CNA she is proud that St. Joseph’s provides a safe environment in which students can learn and be involved in extracurricular activities, and where their parents trust that they are safe." So, we have a p.r./outreach person going out and saying the kids are safe. So far I think that's the best we've got. We can probably do better, though. Or we can reword it. The way you reworded it though made it sound like the kids were the sole informants to their parents, and the reason they were sent there in the first place. That doesn't make sense. The parents had to have been told promotional things in the first place to send their kids there. We have to cover that in some way so the kids aren't blamed, in WP's voice, for being sent there.  -  CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:28, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

"Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not clearly stated by the sources themselves." Those letters and the statement by the PR team are not related in the sources so you can't use it to make your statement as it's written. The PR statement seems to be a more recent statement as well and it's not clear the time period of when the student letters were forged. It's misleading.  oncamera (talk page)  22:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news
 * IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration
 * The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

Could you have a look at this IP editors contributions to Indigenous peoples of Mexico
Hi Corbie, I know you are very busy, but if you find a moment, could you please have a look at this IP editor's recent edits to Indigenous peoples of Mexico. They are changing statistics and leaving inflamatory edit summaries. They may be right about the population numbers (?) but I am not sure they are going about this in the right way. I haven't reverted them, nor left a message on their talk page yet. I wanted to run it by you first to get a "temperature read". Thanks in advance. Netherzone (talk) 16:26, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

User: Natemup
In what seems to be an increasingly evident trend, I am having repeated issues with User:Natemup, who seems to be unwilling to engage in constructive dialogue about unexplained and highly questionable edits and reverts he has made on Institute Catholique. He has repeatedly either replaced "citation needed" markers with unreliable sources or simply deleted them without explanation. He has also refused to admit or understand why the clearly unreliable source he is citing is indeed unreliable (it literally lifted all of its information that the very Wikipedia article in question!). It's one thing to make an editing mistake or not understand the proper process—I'm certainly been guilty of this many times. But this editor is incredibly confrontational, unwilling to admit any mistakes, and is nearly impossible to engage in any form of meaningful discussion. I have left messages on his talk page as well as tried to engage him on Talk:Institute Catholique. Everywhere, he has been unreasonably argumentative. I know that you have had issues with him, at least based on what I see on his talk page (which also shows a long history of this type of behavior), so I thought it would be helpful if I made you aware of it. I appreciate any help or guidance you can provide. Anwegmann (talk) 18:25, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Corbie and co. attempted to make something out nothing and got nowhere. The page they were attempting to protect is now in great hands, and the page you and I discussed is also in better shape now (with your help). Feel free to end this.

 * I'm sorry you're having to deal with yet more of his disruptive editing and gaslighting. is clearly a WP:TENDENTIOUS editor, and is WP:NOTHERE to collaborate or follow Wikipedia policy.
 * If you haven't seen it, here's the previous ANI thread on Natemup which unfortunately scrolled out without action. As an involved admin, I unfortunately can't take an admin action like blocking Natemup at this juncture. But if his disruption has continued, I suggest taking him to WP:ANI again. Make a note of that past thread, then thoroughly but concisely document the disruption that has taken place since then with diffs that clearly illustrate the problem. Hopefully this time uninvolved admins will either topic ban/semi-block him from the articles in question, or see that he's WP:NOTHERE to build the encyclopedia and block him. -  CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:59, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Disruption
Per your final warning here, the user has again returned to Wind River (film) to remove sourced information (their second attempt to remove some of the production companies). Grandpallama (talk) 16:23, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And in terms of the previous suspicions about socking, this might be of interest. Grandpallama (talk) 16:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know. They have clearly earned a block on Wind River. Have any of their edits on the other pages been useful, or have all of them been disruptive? - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 17:45, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Some of their other edits have been what appear to be malicious changes to film grosses and budgets, so it does seem disruption-only. Since they edit a few times and then disappear for months on end, I'm sure they've long flown under the radar. Grandpallama (talk) 14:22, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry if I'm bothering you here, but the editor seemed to have returned as another anon in what is apparently the same region based on a IP check, although there isn't hard (like 100%) evidence that it is a sock puppet of the original editor, it seems to be behaving in the same ways. I really have no to minimal experience dealing with socks so can you block, tag or do any other action if you think it's necessary? thanks!  Just ' i ' yaya  13:25, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Looking into it. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 19:13, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

I've tagged them based on the rather clear pattern. The IP is static, but I'm waiting to see if they disrupt further before blocking. If they do and I miss it, let me know. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 19:21, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

And sure enough, continued identical pattern of edits with zero talk engagements after warnings. Blocked from all pages the drawer targets. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 19:49, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

I habe no idea what this is. From capitalization of indigenous re Squaw. I tried searching, but maybe not in the right place. deisenbe (talk) 20:53, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Indigenous peoples of the Americas
Please, explain how that section are, all text is about evidence of the topic, even none text is about another point of view about the topic. Thanks. Janiclett (talk) 22:43, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Have you read the section? Stop edit warring and take it to article talk. Indigenous identity is not defined by DNA. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 22:45, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee decision. The thread is CorbieVreccan. Thank you. Janiclett (talk) 23:24, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Yep,, disrupt the 'pedia, edit war, engage in personal attacks, abuse the templates, then go straight to ARBCOM Sanctions Enforcement for an issue that has nothing to do with ARBCOM. That should go fantastic. See the block log. LOL. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 00:09, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
