Jolie page
I'm gonna do you a favour and not get involved, otherwise you could be accused of WP:CANVASSing help. Just follow the rules and you should be ok. - wolf  13:29, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey, Thewolfchild. Thanks for the welcome.


 * I read the that guidance. If I understand correctly, it appears that asking for advice isn't a violation of that policy page. I didn't ask you to turn away the user's changes. I asked you for advice for three reasons. 1. You seemed to be a film and biography user. 2. You've edited both the Pitt and Jolie pages (albeit the Jolie page says you only made one edit there). 3. I've seen other film users ask for advice or assistance on one another's talk pages. The user I asked you about just got another warning from a user who warned them before. I've tried to talk with the user. Other users have tried to talk with them. No luck. I'll follow the this guidance and try to engage WT:FILM. If WT:FILM is no help, I'll try to engage WT:FILMBIO. If that's no help, I'll just let it be. Film Bio Legacy (talk) 07:03, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I didn't make any accusations, it was just a friendly heads up to let you know about the policy. Regardless of what you did or didn't say, if you're in a disagreement with someone, and you post about it on another user page, don't be surprised if that other person starts to scream "Canvassing!! Omigawd!! You're canvassing!! You cheating SOB!" ...and so on and so fourth. It's been done before. It can be used to distract from the actual content dispute, and if it ends up at ANI, and you get the wrong the admin on the wrong day, well... it's possible that the end result is the content dispute doesn't go your way, and nothing will make sense. Just be aware, and be careful. Like I said, just a friendly heads up. - [[User:Thewolfchild|wolf ]] 07:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, and also be wary of forum shopping. - wolf  07:25, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thewolfchild, OK. Thank you for the advice. Film Bio Legacy (talk) 07:23, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Statement regarding Flyer22Frozen
Earlier this year, the Arbitration Committee dismissed a case involving after receiving a credible report that that editor had passed away. Members of the community expressed condolences and Flyer22 was added to the "Deceased Wikipedians" page.

The Arbitration Committee subsequently received off-wiki correspondence alleging that Flyer22 had not actually died and explaining the senders' basis for reaching that conclusion. The Committee takes this issue seriously and looked into it as thoroughly as we could within the bounds of appropriateness.

We must ask editors to bear in mind that while the Arbitration Committee can be privy to some evidence that cannot be shared on-wiki, such as checkuser findings, the scope of our responsibilities and authority is still limited. We are a committee of volunteers who are elected to help solve disputes arising on a website. Our authority and responsibilities do not include conducting forensic investigations off of the site. For example, in connection with the current allegations, someone sent us documentation purporting to reveal the identity of Flyer22, and suggested that we investigate, perhaps even reaching out to that person and members of their family to determine whether and when the identified person had passed away. It would not be appropriate for the Arbitration Committee or anyone else to do these things, and we have not and will not do so.

It is, however, possible to take action with regard to the SPI relating to accounts that have edited in recent months. The following have been blocked following traditional SPI investigations:



The editing by these accounts is improper independent of the circumstances concerning Flyer22. Accordingly, these accounts have been blocked. The person or persons behind these accounts is required to cease editing. Any concerns about further accounts may be posted to an as-yet-to-be created SPI page that the committee should have posted shortly, or e-mailed to the Arbitration Committee.

This is a difficult situation for many Wikipedians. Some key facts still are not known, and behind every username there is a real person. We ask that everyone please treat it with sensitivity, proportionality, and decorum.
