What is this about?
You added in regards to my comment the wording "The distinction you're making is often cited in patriot/2nd amendment type circles and discussions..." which, by seemingly purposeful innduendo, you seem to be tying my comment to. You asked on your user page to let you know when you've made a mistake, this is one. I am not a member of any circle or group of patriots or "2nd amendment types", but had made a statement in my own words which you've now tried to twist, in good faith or not, to fit a narrative. Please strike or remove those from your statement, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I sincerely apologize if you took it as insinuation that those labels described you and I have removed it out of courtesy. I was only saying where I have most often seen this kind of assertion that "republic" is exclusive of "democracy" when to the best of my knowledge they are properly synonymous.
 * You introduced this (possibly pedantic) tangent into a conversation where "democracy" had barely been used, and not incorrectly at all from my understanding. Also the reply indentation was off so I wasn't sure if you were correcting all prior uses of it or just the immediate one. By characterizing where I had seen it I didn't mean to discredit you, and I suppose I did mean to discredit the idea, although I don't think there is anything inherently disreputable about that association.
 * I guess what I meant is: "I have seen this most often among people who like to discuss or argue about the US constitution in particular and not political science, philosophy or history in general." —DIYeditor (talk) 21:47, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Not as much me taking it like that, although it read sort of accusatory, but others reading it may have taken it as an assumption. As I said, it's tangential to the RfC in any case. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Could you please stop ? &emsp;&mdash;&hairsp; Freoh 19:19, 24 March 2023 (UTC); edited 15:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * You act strangely and I'm trying to figure how why, and how to define it, given an ongoing ANI report about you. Also, I believe it is canvassing, The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. You also know I find your overlinked style of warning people annoying. —DIYeditor (talk) 11:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Freoh is currently leaving these and other messages on Geewillickers Talk page and my Talk page. I've requested that Freoh keep all his comments on the ANI currently in progress about his new account.

I noticed that a message you recently left to Efosa david edosomwan may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. I see no reason to start their user talk with a level 4 warning, or any other warning. They clearly were trying to undo this vandalism and should have received guidance how to properly undo vandalism. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:05, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * @Skywatcher68 fair enough. They looked like completely bogus joke edits at first glance but AGF would apply as always. I meant to undo the initial vandalism as well (which  did) but I didn't understand that "rollback" in Twinkle would only do a single user's edits, not all the range that I had selected (unless I just failed to select the correct range). —DIYeditor (talk) 14:18, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

...no criticism intended on my part. I'm mostly just screwing around and laughing at the truth of GN's comment. I wasn't thinking or talking about anyone in particular. I've long thought that experienced editors should be able to quietly and efficiently remove obviously zero-chance case requests, as a courtesy to save the OP the torrent of criticism that awaits them, but that has always been frowned upon by the powers that be.

 * As someone with more than my fair share of neurodivergence, I wonder if someone should show her User:Tamzin/Guidance for editors with mental illnesses -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:15, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I took a look, good read. I'm surprised that this kind of outburst doesn't happen more often and much more dramatically. I only remember running into one editor whom I suspected might have a serious mental illness. —DIYeditor (talk) 18:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That's one of the reasons I recommend self-disclosure, if one is willing. (And just added another paragraph on that.) Most people only learn an editor has a "serious" mental illness when that editor is defending themself from a accusation, or enmeshed in some sort of controversy. That's part of why I, as a person with dissociative identity disorder, maintain a "united front" on-wiki, because the moment I say, "Oh, that block was by C but you're talking to 5 now", I'm perpetuating that. (I've toyed with the idea of listing which Tamzin(s) wrote each of my creations, as some positive visibility, but can never make my mind up.) I do think the trend of less positive visibility contributes to editors often feeling that adverse experiences are negative commentary on disabilities they may have. In fairness, they're not always wrong. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 18:50, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 * , my experience is that if people can judge one negatively for something that holds a stigma, they will, and often use it against someone. —DIYeditor (talk) 19:14, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure, and I've had no small number of people say (mostly off-wiki) that I'm unfit to be an admin because I have DID, although I'm still waiting on any of them to explain why . The list of mistakes I've made as an admin, and the list of quirks in my editing that relate to DID, are basically non-overlapping circles. (The biggest risk of overlap is that it's sometimes difficult for me to respond to messages in a timely fashion, which could lead to an WP:ADMINACCT violation, but I solve that by mentally categorizing ADMINACCT inquiries as the sort of urgent issue that demand my various parts fall in line and take action, like smelling smoke or hearing someone at my door.) But people like to use the rhetoric of "Mentally ill, therefore bad," even when it makes no sense. Things have gotten better, though, at least. This RfA is still the most disgusting discussion I've ever read on Wikipedia. But that editor had the courage to run a second time, even after being shot down based on peers' armchair-psychiatrist opinions on how her condition worked, and in passing set a precedent; 10 years later, for all my RfA's controversy, I don't believe my well-disclosed mental illness came up once. So, there's progress. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 19:32, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

SmallCat dispute case opened
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute/Evidence. Please add your evidence by August 4, 2023, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Arbitration/Requests/Case/SmallCat dispute/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 13:04, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't know how to respond to your incorrect assessment.
Something very strange is going on here. At first I didn't see any dispute at all. I saw 4 editors basically agreeing they don't like WikiTree. Deathmolor did some major WP:FORUM and WP:SOAP violations and is a good candidate to be checked out for WP:NOTHERE. Anyway, I don't see the dispute that is being brought here or what the goals are. All the editors seem to more or less be in agreement, aside from Deathmolor arguing with scarecrows about racism (?). If someone wants to propose it for deletion go for it. I see that the "dispute" which has not been articulated here may be with Turninghearts who is not listed for some reason, and possibly Orlady, but Deathmolor, Belle Fast, MundoMango (who was strangely attacked by Deathmolor?), and Gerdolfo seem to be united as critics. Be aware that should anyone prove to be a WP:NOTHERE WP:SPA account or WP:MEATPUPPET this will most likely end up at WP:ANI (I say this before looking into the individuals in question). —DIYeditor (talk) 08:12, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

The above assessment of the situation is wrong, the TurningHearts character seems to be from Wikitree. And I have yet to see a single editor who did not make an edit who was not personally invested. I have been around on wikipedia since the beginning of time and even trivial edits often have people saying the same thing. If an editor digs in on information provided then people like you come by to attack in a direct an personal way with zero accountability. Applying WP:NOTHERE, WP:SPA, WP:MEATPUPPET, WP:ANI the alphabet soup of rules has a chilling effect on contributions by everyone and again silences others who do not conform to your social click. I would have contributed a lot over the years if it were not for a rude response like this that has been received on any of my edit's. They seem self serving because indigenous and black people editing pages will have a personal and vested interest in the topic. Just like those of English culture have a vested interest in silencing those who do not give out the white person handshake of authoritarian acceptance. We know when we are being oppressed by the rule lawyers. Rules are important but when you combine them with insult that is when we can tell your objectives are also stepping over the line. You did not even acknowledge the flurry of edits that came in shortly after my one contribution that basically obliterated the contribution. Again Belle Fast and I were agreeing, I didn't attack anyone. Your interpretation is so off i can't even sort it out. You need the let the text speak for itself without your slanted "attack" like interpretation. Deathmolor (talk) 22:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh an i am no meatpuppet, or whatever you want to call it. I am a single person Deathmolor is actually my indigenous name. You can do a wiki search and all the instances of Deathmolor on the internet is me. You can even find out my real name this way. i have no other wiki account and have been around since the mid 2000's contributing here and there and getting the same responses from editors who are determined to create a chilling effect on english wiki if your from other cultures then theirs.

 * Any humor I might find in it is tempered with an inescapable feeling that people like this are doing some kind of trolling, like concern trolling or something. Also with the way they've framed everything, it is inevitable that such people will only take it as proof they were right about discrimination. So yes, in a way a funny variation on a certain scene about class struggle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in another way quite tedious and taxing. —DIYeditor (talk) 05:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

 * Hello, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around.
