PP request
Please add my Talk page to the Temporary semi-protections for Persistent sockpuppetry. Thanks, - LuckyLouie (talk) 20:36, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you...
for the page protection request. I didn't even know you could do that 😄 Knitsey (talk) 20:36, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Now I know! If I need it again do I just ask at page protection? I've requested pp before but it never occured to me that it can be applied to talk pages. Knitsey (talk) 20:44, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you just ask for it. Most of the times it'll be granted.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 20:47, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

AN/I disruption
Come on, Liliana. I've now had to 1) warn you for no-summary rollbacking a comment that had first been removed by the person it criticized, 2) revert this utterly gratuitous shit-stirring, and 3) hat these forum-y political comments, all at AN/I; the first and second were in particularly frought and sensitive threads, at that. AN/I is a noticeboard where users dealing with serious or chronic disruption go to report their issues to administrators and to those non-admin community members who have something useful to add. If you continue to disrupt that process I will p-block you from the noticeboard. -- Tamzin  &#91;cetacean needed&#93; (she&#124;they&#124;xe) 07:10, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Question!
Hello there!

question (very serious)
I'm part of the Transfem Cabal now, when do I get my membership card and complimentary goodie bag? :3 – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 05:49, 27 August 2023 (UTC)


 * dudhhr: Second door to the left.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 05:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * great, now I'm in my living room, without a card or goodie bag. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 05:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Dammit. Uh, it should be arriving in 6 to 8 weeks.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 05:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * wait, you know my address? Off to oversight you go. – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 05:55, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I thought every trans woman had a trans address book?  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 05:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, true. I guess that comes in the goodie bag I haven't gotten yet. Is that right? – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 05:57, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Indeed.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 05:58, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
 * it's been seven and a half months, and I haven't gotten my goodie bag yet. Did you mean 6 to 8 months, or should I file a complaint against the Transfem Cabal's Goodie Bag Department? – dudhhr talkcontribssheher 21:26, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I dunno, I haven't gotten mine... and it's been almost six years.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 21:27, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of Junlper for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Junlper is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Junlper (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Paragon Deku (talk) 16:18, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Pronouns
I apologize for the response on my talk page. I did not mean to offend you when referring to you in the DRV as the "appellant" or using the "their" possessive pronoun. When editing on the project I never use gender specific he/she pronouns to refer to other editors because I do not want to misgender. I see now that it is important to you so I will remember if I we find ourselves in the same threads in the future. Lightburst (talk) 16:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

For canvasing and battleground behavior related to Articles for deletion/M43 (Durban) and Articles for deletion/F102 highway (Nigeria), you have been blocked for a week. I particularly find the attempted retaliation here to be beyond the pale. This block was almost and indef because of it. Since it is based on private information, this block counts as a Checkuser block. I am willing to share the evidence of canvasing with any CU who is reviewing the block. Additionally, the evidence has been sent to arbcom-en. You may appeal this block directly to arbcom or via the unblock template. -- Guerillero Parlez Moi 18:12, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

73.27.191.165's contributions
Hi, I'm not sure if all of these should be more-or-less blindly reverted. I'm currently failing to find a consensus for 's mass adition of what 73.27.191.165 has removed (see also the bottom of User_talk:QLDer in NSW, permanent link). If you know of one, please let me know. When in doubt, WP:BURDEN and WP:ONUS probably apply. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @ToBeFree: I could always self-revert.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:09, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid that would be the best approach for now; I lack background information about the current consensus if one exists. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:12, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * We are currently discussing this on the Republican Party's talk page; we have been for months now. QLDer in NSW (talk) 02:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * , are you saying there is no consensus and you (silently?) did this during a running discussion, in the background? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:16, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging Drmies because he reverted one of my self reverts.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:17, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * No. These are old edits. QLDer in NSW (talk) 02:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I restored the edit cause it seemed like a perfectly acceptable edit to me. Drmies (talk) 02:20, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * So did I, but I guess it's a mess of a situation I happened upon, which seems to happen a bit too often on here.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was where I was coming from too. AntiDionysius (talk) 18:23, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Mh. What a chaos. I guess blocking 73.27.191.165 for 31 hours wasn't too horrible of a decision, but this all is a mess. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah well, September. Noone had objected to these until now, but that might have been caused by a lack of attention. (Re-)adding the disputed content without a citation and apparently without the article content supporting it either (such as in Special:Diff/1184699703?) may perhaps not be the best approach, but I may also be overlooking something. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @ToBeFree, @QLDer in NSW: I found two discussions (here, here) on Talk:Republican Party (United States).  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:33, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Removal of Old PROD notice on Talk:Oliver Emanuel
I just wanted to inform your decision on this edit. During the spate of sock assault on the article, I placed that notice, not one of the socks. I don't mind whatever you want to do with this, but: sock placed PROD on talk page, I removed it (misplaced though it was), and added the tag to indicate that someone else had already PRODed and was challenged. I felt the benefit was that the article could not be PRODed again, and would need to go to the AfD process. I respect your decisions, and I don't mean to keep you from continuing improvements. Cheers. signed, Willondon (talk) 02:33, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:35, 13 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I should say that it's not that I feel in anyway personally harmed by an association with a sock. Everybody knows that's not true. I meant to propose whether or not the 'Old PROD' tag is beneficial to preventing further harm to the article. Again, I repect your decisions.  signed, Willondon (talk)  02:42, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't associate you with a sock, I saw a sock mention they put such a template on that talk page and assumed it was them who put it there.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:49, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I just read your comments on Tryptofish's neutral vote over at the Clovermoss RFA: I found them hurtful. This is a great project and it likely needs both of us even if we occasionally disagree. In spite of this I do really hope that we get to work together and that we learn to respect for each other. Lightburst (talk) 02:51, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Civility
I don't know what causes you to think that "At least you didn't oppose, unlike a certain someone..." is a helpful comment to make while badgering an oppose at somebody's request for adminship, but please don't do stuff like this. It's just pointless flamebait and has about a zero percent chance of causing any reasonable conversation to happen. If somebody makes a comment that annoys you enough to warrant bringing it up on-wiki, I would recommend doing what I do, and writing a message to them about it on their talk page (in fact, I am doing that right now). Or, at the very least, bringing it up on the talk page for the RfA -- there's really no point to being rude to people and subtweeting them in the middle of what's supposed to be a discussion about the candidate first and foremost. jp×g🗯️ 08:12, 16 December 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.

 * POV/doc states The editor who adds the tag should discuss concerns on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies.

FWIW, I share your view that the NYT is massively overrated as a US paper of record, but this is likely a problem of the English-language media ecosystem that is upstream of Wikipedia, the kind that would take a mountain of peer-reviewed criticism to resolve (and even then would probably draw a lot of tendentious back and forth). If you can find it, I highly recommend My Times: A Memoir of Dissent by John L.

Editing the comments of others
Please do not edit the comments of others on article talk pages unless it is for removing trolling, vandalism, or unless you have the editor's permission. |WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS The guideline for this is very clear. XeCyranium (talk) 00:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)


 * redacting comments that contravene WP:BLP is allowable per WP:TPO. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Does the comment contravene BLP? By my reading it pretty clearly doesn't. XeCyranium (talk) 00:49, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It does.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 00:50, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * yes. As I said in my edit summary, WP:BLPNAME and MOS:GENDERID apply here through WP:BDP. Benedict's former name is non-notable, and per the second paragraph of GENDERID should not be included on any page, including talk pages. We treat former names of trans and non-binary people as a privacy interest separate from and greater than their current name. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:51, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Is there a reason then that it doesn't include talk pages within the pages it's referring to in said second paragraph? All of these seem to be referring to article space. XeCyranium (talk) 00:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Templates and categories aren't in mainspace.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 00:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Because it's a WP:BLPPRIVACY issue, and as the intro to WP:BLP states, it applies to all pages, including talk pages. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:56, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that BLP didn't apply to details of a deceased individual unless the details are "contentious or questionable material about the subject that has implications for their living relatives and friends" which from what I can tell this isn't. XeCyranium (talk) 01:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, it more generally applies to people who died in contentious circumstances. Examples include suicide, homicide, or an unexpected death after an alleged assault. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:11, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That's pretty clearly not what it says. It applies to the details of murders/suicides that could cause distress for the family/friends, it does not simply apply to anybody dead who's ever been the victim of a violent crime. XeCyranium (talk) 01:37, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Please see this recently closed RfC on the current consensus interpretation of BDP. Specifically in the close The community strongly supports the position that WP:BLP should, by default, extend to deceased people for a certain amount of time after their deaths. Sideswipe9th (talk) 01:41, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay now that's something different, shame nobody's updated any of the relevant pages, but if it does apply to non-contentious but private details regarding dead people for some yet to be determined time after their death then it seems you did the right thing indeed. Hopefully there will be an actual set timeframe in the future, but either way if that's the newest version of the policy then that seems fair to leave it as it is. It still would have been preferable if the editors had linked to that in the first place. XeCyranium (talk) 01:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * @XeCyranium: You think I'm gonna let a flagrant GENDERID violation stand?  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 00:49, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Can you specify where in GENDERID it forbids the mentioning of former names that have been reported in reliable sources on article talk pages? By my reading, you're being overzealous. XeCyranium (talk) 00:52, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The second paragraph: it should not be included in any page (...), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. (emphasis mine). Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * If a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists. As far as I know, talk pages fall under "etc."  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 00:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Alison Green (2nd nomination)
Hello, LilianaUwU,

I think of you as a reliable, sensible editor so I'm bewildered why you thought it was appropriate to edit an archived AFD discussion as you did with this edit. This is just not done unless in the rare occasion where there is some objectionable content and even then it would be redacted or struck out. But we don't edit archived discussions on noticeboards or archived deletion discussions. I don't see anything here in the remarks that warrants removal. Do you have an explanation? Please do not do this again. Thank you. Liz <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">Read! Talk! 03:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Quick note on 2024 New Jersey earthquake
Thanks for your revert to 2024 New Jersey earthquake.

Welp - there were also BLP problems with that "popular culture" section. Maybe it can be brought back if it can be written in a neutral manner with due weight. Awesome Aasim 04:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's gonna come back.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 04:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

You rock!
Thanks for helping with that sockpuppet! Cjhard (talk) 05:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Just wanted to quickly say--
I completely understand your position on the Nex Benedict article. I completely agree that the actual cause of death is obvious, but as it has been (somewhat ridiculously) ruled a suicide, I do think the inclusion is appropriate. Sometimes simple formalism is just for the best. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 01:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah, right. It's why there should be an independent investigation ASAP, but until then, I guess every RS says it's a suicide, so we gotta follow that.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 01:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

What's the point?
I don't get why you deleted this comment. I had a point, of course, but it wasn't about frustration with the system or meant to disrupt. Not the most necessary thing I've said, but in a talk about TPA revocation and ruder words, it seemed relevant, at least. Anyway, no big deal, just curious. If you'd rather delete this than answer it, that's fine, too. I'll wonder quietly. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:52, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

To be clear, the burial I refer to happened back in the day, well before the shitshow you might remember from last year. And I found your section by "stalking" Black Kite, not you. We were trying to get a dead and late footballer posted to RD. That was in AN, not AN/I, but this section was close enough (in contribution history) to pique my interest. You creating it was just a coincidence. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:51, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Considering the shitshow from last year, understand why I was worried that it's about that.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 03:44, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I learned better from that one, too, but was allowed to Talk it out. Regret both just the same in other ways. Sorry again, eh? InedibleHulk (talk) 03:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Explaining CTOPIC notices
Hey LilianaUwU. First of all, I wanted to apologize for getting too hot-headed in the discussion with you. My edit where I responded to you was uncalled for and I am sorry for it. I wrote it as a hothead and definitely should not have done that.

If you are up to it, I would like to continue the discussion, but in a calm and cool manner, discussing/answering any of your concerns. Specifically, I would like to discuss/answer why you may think I am targeting you.

So, I made a mistake and did not add a contentious topic notice to the article right after it was made. That was my mistake. I recognized my mistake coincidentally off of the accusation of WP:OWN on the AfD nomination. {Quick reference note, GenevieveDEon and myself had a discussion (where I was definitely too hot-headed), but we have worked it out and the accusation is no longer a concern to them and I do not consider it an accusation any further.} Following my seeing the AfD nomination/wording of it, I realized that I forgot to add the contentious topic notice to the article, in which case I did. Per WP:CTOPICS, specifically, the "Awareness of contentious topics" section, editors who edit in the CTOPIC for the first time or who have yet to receive a CTOPIC notice should be given an alert regarding it. In suit, I did that, alerting not just you, but every editor in the AfD as well as any editor who had edited the article. A few already had the climage change CTOPIC notice, but anyone who did not yet have it received one.

I wasn't intentionally targeting you or any other editor. I made a mistake by not adding it in the first place. When I corrected that mistake, the timing made it appear that I was targeting you. I hope that clears up the timeline and mistake I made. If you do have a question regarding it though, or you still feel I am targeting you, please ask or let's discuss it. I want to discuss and figure this out in a non-hotheaded way. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I mean... again, sending a bunch of CTOP notices to people who have !voted to delete/merge your article wasn't a very good call. If anything, someone else should've sent those.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 02:46, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * For reference, it isn't "my" article. Editors do not own articles. Secondly, technically, I was sending the notice to people who basically agreed with me. If anything, I was closer to canvassing than targeting, since I too did a formal !vote of "Merge", meaning the CTOPIC notice was sent to people who have views similar to mine (you included). Basically, timing was the whole issue from what I can tell. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:49, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That said, I do see what you mean. I should have asked for someone else to do the CTOPIC notifications, rather than myself. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:55, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Troutman comment by Certes
Hello, I hope I'm not adding to anything rough you've been experiencing. I'm commenting under your talk page only because we've interacted before along with your familiarity with a banned user, and nothing else; I'm a little uncomfortable talking to "strangers" over heavy matters. If you suggest I notify a more appropriate user I will oblige.

You're familiar with Chris troutman and was involved in the AN/I discussion leading to his infefinite ban. Almost a month ago Certes made a thank you comment that briefly engaged what I believe is conspiracy and defended his comments. I took notice and just made a reply; maybe it was better that I didn't, but I get really uptight about any form of speculativism or conspiracy and I believe some counter-response has to be made to cut whatever bad influence could come from it. Regardless if I should've or not, I don't believe Certes's comment was known to anyone else so I needed to tell someone about this. I wish you a good rest of your day. Carlinal (talk) 11:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Liliana, I am sorry that you have been troubled with this matter. Although I have now retired from Wikipedia, I noticed Carlinal's message as I occasionally check for pings and felt obliged to .  Both contributions have now been reverted. Certes (talk) 17:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

If this was a non-political event he absolutely would not have an article. Lots of editors fail to understand our BLP policies as evidenced by the AfD discussions. It's shocking how many editors fail to understand BLP and more interested in treating Wikipedia like a tabloid. Traumnovelle (talk) 23:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Rules don't matter for American editors as long as they can shove American politics down the throats of the other countries' editors.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 23:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Even copyright concerns have been thrown out the window. Traumnovelle (talk) 23:23, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the intrusion, but I can't help agreeing--I think the definition of a reliable source should be updated to include "at least two weeks old." Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 23:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I initially disagreed and thought just avoiding breaking news would be fine, but after giving it more thought and seeing edits like this: there is clearly far more benefit to the project than any harm by waiting 2 weeks to update articles. Traumnovelle (talk) 01:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I blocked this account for a commonplace promotional username violation. In my view, trying to argue that this username is hateful as opposed to simply a promotional username is unnecessarily divisive when a straightforward outcome is clear. The account is indeffed. Cullen328 (talk) 03:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Cullen328, I recommend you read Project 2025 and Agenda 47. Then you might understand why I consider such a username hateful.  Liliana UwU  (talk / contributions) 04:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I am fully aware of those topics on and off-Wikipedia, and I have no hesitation to express my personal opposition and indignation off Wikipedia. I have been a supporter of trans people's rights and dignity ever since I first met a trans person at age 17 back in 1969 in New York's East Village. I am not a trans person but am an unwavering supporter of their rights and dignity. I subsequently lived in San Francisco for many years and continued my support which continues to today. But the Neutral point of view is among our most important guiding principles. Dealing with these issues neutrally, in accordance with our policies and guidelines, is by far the best way to respond here on Wikipedia. Non-neutral POV pushers reveal themselves and are blocked for that reason. Cullen328 (talk) 07:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
