You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for violating your community topic ban about "anything to do with race, racism, racial history and politics, slavery, or white supremacy". Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.  Sandstein  10:17, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

this is a shame. Have you got any advice to give? So far as I'm concerned, I'd really like to see this editor convince the community that they can edit collaboratively with others on the important topics that they've been working on. That will entail of course not only being civil to other editors but following our policies and guidelines in their editing, but if they (or I should be saying you, LumaNatic) can do it they could be a real asset. After the block I'd suggest finding some other areas to edit in and working in those areas with others. That's the way to lay a foundation for an appeal. Doug Weller talk 12:00, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * , As a Wikipedian in Residence and a Wikipedia Fellow, LumaNatic has been given plenty of advice and mentoring about editing Wikipedia. His failure to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines is entirely due to his desire not to, and has nothing to do with any gap in his understanding of the PNG. Because of the many, many warnings he has been given, I am very doubtful that further advice or mentoring would change anything. Natureium (talk) 15:20, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * This block should have never happened - I didn't violate the topic ban - I was actually asked to edit the AfroCROWD event, because as their former intern I'm co-hosting the event, which is about a former town in Houston, Texas, as part of my thesis. I was out off the country presenting said thesis and had slow internet so it was moot, but I'm requesting a retroactive unblock, and repeal of the ban in the first place because it was punitive and unwarranted - I in no way disrupted Wikipedia, and as many editors said in the discussion, it was punitive, vindictive and totally unnecessary. --LumaNatic (talk) 20:32, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no such thing as a retroactive unblock. As far as appealing the topic ban goes, see WP:UNBAN. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Topic ban
You were recently blocked for violation for your topic ban, so I know you haven't forgotten about it. Why did you create Category:WikiHBCUDIO today when you are topic banned from this? Natureium (talk) 17:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not banned from the usergroup I created as part of my fellowship, residency and Visiting Scholarship - WikiHBCU/DIO is a usergroup initiative I founded back at WikiCon NA 2018, and we're launching our first event for Women's History Month.LumaNatic (talk) 20:21, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes you are. You are banned from anything to do with race, racism, racial history and politics, slavery, or white supremacy, all very broadly construed. That very clearly falls within that area. Natureium (talk) 20:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * How so? LumaNatic (talk) 20:28, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * To quote from your new page Thanks for coming today and helping make history with WikiHBCUI/DIO & Weeksville to help close the Wikipedia diversity gap on notable people of African Descent. [...] For the Edit-athon, add at least one sentence or another contribution (photo, audio, etc) to Wikipedia about a notable notable person from Weeksville, or a place or cultural item associated with freedom colonies. This clearly falls under your topic ban quoted above. You may want to familiarize yourself with WP:TBAN. Natureium (talk) 20:34, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That's the text the site staff sent me - it's a women's history event, they're a historic site - that's the language they wanted, others will add in more topics as the week goes on. I actually have to run to seminar and so repeat - this is an event I'm hosting through my fellowship/residency/scholarship duties for Women's History Month. ("women" includes those branded "black" in the Western dialectic - and Weeksville just happens to be a site in NY that was branded "black," and so the center there wants to help curate a Wikipedia presence to share its knowledge - which is part of my duties as a resident/scholar to help do). Its an EVENT. LumaNatic (talk) 20:44, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * So someone deleted the event page anyway. I'm still trying to understand how you gather that this Women's History event violates a topic ban - are you conflating words like "diversity" with said ban? If so, that's a false equivalency on grammatic and thematic grounds alone. Unless there's a whole other set of ideology you're operating from? LumaNatic (talk) 13:41, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

March 2019
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for violating your community topic ban by creating Columbia University Institute for Research in African American Studies (IRAAS) among other edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.  Sandstein  20:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Creating the dept page of Columbia's newest school isn't violating any topic ban, just because it's called the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies. If you think the African diaspora is about "racism and white supremacy" then (outside of that problematic view/lens/gaze in the first place) everything in the Western world is about "racism and white supremacy," including Wikipedia. But sure, we'll appeal - one of the great things about all of this is that it is all being documented at said university and department, as part of my duties.--LumaNatic (talk) 14:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:ROLE. FYI. ——  SerialNumber  54129  14:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Lol. I'm the sole editor of my account.--LumaNatic (talk) 14:34, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Then, why the first person plural? ——  SerialNumber  54129  14:41, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * the issue is that you are topic banned from race and racial history all very broadly construed (in addition to other things). An institute for African American Studes is going to have overlap in those two areas without even very broadly construing the topics. I think you have expertise and passion, not to mention paid time, to positively contribute to Wikipedia. I would like to be able to support some scaling back of your ban in the future. But you need to first show you understand the concerns expressed and can hear feedback and otherwise understand community norms. You had smaller edits on March 6 and 16 which were in a more positive direction. I would hope that there could be other such work fromyou when your ban is up. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:45, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * The bigger problem here is that you are a WIR at Columbia University, which means that your activities for that should be "to facilitate Wikipedia entries related to that institution's mission, encourage and assist it to release material under open licences, and to develop the relationship between the institution and the Wikimedia community." As far as I can see, apart from advertising meetups on your user page, you're not doing that;  there are 164 articles in Category:Columbia_University, many of them in frankly terrible condition, which need to be improved.  This is what you, and your editathons, should be doing.  Instead, you only appear to have been editing in your own sphere of interest, which you're currently banned from doing.  In fact, I can't see a mainspace edit by you on a Columbia University page until going back to 22 December (Columbia Center for Oral History Research, and even that is related to you).  Those articles are what you should be concentrating on, and I hope you will do that when your block expires. Black Kite (talk) 16:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I can see that it ain't easy. Among the difficulties of a WIR is the need to steer between the neutrality of an editor and the loyalty of an institutional agent. Scylla and Charybdis. Your suggestion, based on the definition, pushes a WIR in the direction of being a publicity agent for the institution, so it calls for delicate steering. I mostly know WIRs who serve the GLAM sector, for example a university library. This kind of sailor follows an easier path, since the collections of such institutions are usually not very much about the institution itself. The work promotes the aims of the institution, without directly promoting the institution, thus posing little danger of COI. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:23, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Movies about class moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Movies about class, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Disrupt Wikipedia


A tag has been placed on Disrupt Wikipedia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.) that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Speedy deletion nomination of Disrupt Wikipedia Series


A tag has been placed on Disrupt Wikipedia Series requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.eventbrite.com/e/disruptwikipedia-edit-a-thon-short-lecture-tickets-75938703707. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it.

Hello! I made a little mistake there when I reverted your edits. You were not responsible for the edit that was promotional in the lede: "As of December 2018, he is represented by Abigail Ogilvy in Boston, Massachusetts."

Disambiguation link notification for November 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Herbert S. Terrace, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NSF ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Herbert_S._Terrace check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Herbert_S._Terrace?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:29, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Herbert S. Terrace
A Wikimedian in Residence, but you haven't yet learned how to format section headings for an article, or to avoid linking to disambiguation pages like NSF? Please take the time to pick up the basics of editing. For the links-to-dab pages problem there's a splendid gadget available: go to Preferences, Gadgets, and it's near the end of the list under "Appearance" - but in any case it's good practice to check every link you make in case it leads to the wrong page, so you should have spotted the problem. Thanks. Pam D  16:09, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This should come as no surprise, but be aware that your comment (as all are) is noted, documented and will be used in an university report on the experiences of Wikimedians, particularly why retention numbers are so low outside of its current status quo demographics. Maybe civility and kindness and the spirit of collaboration should be something to take note of? Thanks for the notes, and if these are things you're capable of doing yourself, maybe spend the energy and time to do so, instead of wasting time with hostility? Be well. LumaNatic (talk) 16:24, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This should come as no surprise but people don't like having to fix others problems :). I am guessing that if you had been a new editor that message would have been different. As a Wikimedian in Residence the expectation for competence is higher. The expectations for competence from Pam as someone with numerous permissions is higher, and for me as a sysop, even higher. It feels different to fix someone's problems who shouldn't be expected to know better (as I regularly do when I patrol New Pages) than from someone who is literally paid to edit Wikipedia versus most of us who do this for free as a hobby. Of course none of us can know everything and, personally, I am more than willing to help good faith editors such as yourself. Should you find yourself not knowing how to do something please feel free to drop by my talk page to ask a question. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:22, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I see I was a bit cryptic in my helpful advice above about the links-to-dab pages gadget in that I didn't say what it does: it highlights such links in orange, so you can spot them immediately. Very useful, and recommended. But I also stand by my advice to check all outgoing links in every edit unless you've used them before and know them to be right (time and again the "Primary topic" for a name or other title is not the topic which I expect to find there, or is a disambiguation page: better to get it right than leave the reader having to search for it). I'm sorry you found my comments to be "hostile". Like Barkeep, I spend lots of time clearing up muddles made by new and inexperienced editors, but I do not expect to tidy up after a Wikipedian in Residence. Pam  D  17:40, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * , I made a few edits to Herbert S. Terrace. You might want to have a look at WP:OVERCITE, as you have seven sources on the lede in one spot. The lede does not actually need any sources, unless it is all that there is to the article. The lede should summarize the contents. Overciting is less than desirable; what would be desirable there is to have those sources inline in the article at the places where I have put a "CN" tag. The other thing I noticed was the use of bold in the articles published section (bold now removed). Bold is typically only used in the first instance of the article name, and automatically in some section headings. Have a look at the extensive WP:MOS for questions of formatting. In the case of the articles published area of Herbert S. Terrace, I will usually examine an article by a scholar in a similar area to see how it is handled there. Or one can always ask another editor, as in essence this is a team effort. Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * About the overciting, it might just be that the editor is using a technique I sometimes use: gather several sources, add them all, properly formatted, as refs for the lead section to demonstrate undoubted notability, before saving first version of article - to avoid drive-by CSDs, or the bother of doing the thing in draft or sandbox. The refs can then be re-used or moved as the article developes. I tend then to create infrastructure like incoming redirects, llinks from other Wikipedias, etc, before returning to continue with the article. If I'm not going to be able to get the article more filled out immediately I'll add an under construction template too. This article sems to be notably lacking any main body of content: the lead summarises his academic work but it's not described elsewhere except through the list of publications, so there's clearly more to be done. Ah well.  Pam  D  19:00, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * And in a spirit of collaboration I've tidied up one of your references, added Herbert and a couple of other name-holders to the disambiguation page at Terrace, and made a redirect from Herbert Terrace which has turned blue a previous red link in Errorless learning.

Topic Ban Reminder
Just a reminder that your topic ban of "anything to do with race, racism, racial history and politics, slavery, or white supremacy, all very broadly construed." remains in effect. Edits like from yesterday (minor or not) could result in sanctions. Barkeep49 (talk) 21:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

I know that your work on Vincent Brown (historian) is similar to a lot of other work you've done where it's just doing wikignome sort of work - adding a short description, a wikilink, and an infobox. Arguably given the topic this could be interpreted as a topic ban violation. It feels a bit counterproductive to me to block for that kind of violation. You might be well served seeing if a modification of your tban is something the community would be receptive to. Barkeep49 (talk) 04:38, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * You want to remove a ban because he keeps violating it? That seems counterproductive. Natureium (talk) 21:13, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * We got here because of categories, article creation, and controversial content writing. Adding wikilinks, as Luma has done in the two places I've noted a technical tban violation, doesn't strike me as really repeating the problems that lead to the ban. And I've noticed productive content creation in ways that don't violate the TBAN. So yes I think seeing if the community would support modifying the TBAN is appropriate. If the community is not well that tells me something. I can either do nothing (the joy of being a volunteer sysop) and let someone else (if anyone) note the violations or I can know what the community expects and follow through.

 * I've been keeping an eye on this one as I was involved with it. The topic ban is there to stop LumaNatic from continuing the problematic editing highlighted at this ANI discussion.  Frankly, if they are editing articles which technically violate their topic ban but only to add links and general gnome work, I'm not worried. Anything more, then we have an issue.

Harvard Library
Hi there, I noticed that your profile is listed in Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Harvard University. By any chance do you have borrowing privileges at Harvard's libraries? I've been trying to get access to this obscure pamphlet by John Richard Clark Hall, and Widener Library appears to have the only copy in the US. I've also been unable to ILL it (even just a scan), and I won't be able to take a look in person for the foreseeable future. If you have borrowing privileges and would be willing to put in a "Scan & Deliver" request (ideally for a cover-to-cover scan, which should be easy enough since it is only 28 pages, and out of copyright), I would much appreciate it. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 23:54, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message
 Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Esthelda Parker Selby has been accepted
 Esthelda Parker Selby, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk&action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1&preload=Template:AfC_talk/HD_preload&preloadparams%5B%5D=Esthelda_Parker_Selby help desk] . Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Thanks again, and happy editing! Bkissin (talk) 16:51, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
