Sorry, I had just copy and pasted it from List of Toronto Blue Jays minor league players, and didn't really pay attention to the formatting. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherrell410 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I figured as much. It is important to add, though. It can get tedious, so it can be helpful to save some of the formatting text elsewhere to copy/paste and not have to type out every time....

The sense of hubris of the writer
I’ve read some of your articles on Wikipedia, and almost everyone of them involving current politics is slanted to the left, in fact almost to the point of libel. You’re not trading in objectivity, but in political bias. I’m a lawyer with a Harvard Law degree, and I can  tell bias and tendentiousness when I see it.

If you’re the one who wrote or changed the article about Ronna McDaniel, then I have proof of your bias right there. The article starts off with every negative thing one can think of about her, and then continues in that same vein. Although the article is footnoted, I’ve read some of the footnote articles, and they are largely so-called “progressive” (leftist) opinions, rather than facts. 63.155.42.108 (talk) 06:49, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I created Ronna McDaniel's article, but it's a community effort that got the page where it is. If you're criticizing the Washington Post or New York Times, I don't know what to tell you because that's pretty standard journalism not whatever you think are so-called “progressive” (leftist) opinions. If you want to point out anything specific from the McDaniel article that you think is biased, it's better to do so on the article's talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:54, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Stolen election illegitimate President direct quotes
Can you please explain how a high ranking public figure that claimed two elections were stolen or a president was illegitimate is not included on her Wikipedia profile. Shouldn’t readers know that she once said this? How can Wikipedia be neutral when it whitewashes content like this? These are direct quotes from her. The previous press secretary acknowledged that these statements were made. Shameful if this is t added. 47.203.28.160 (talk) 01:11, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Myrie
Hey, just to make sure you're aware three months prior Myrie's page also had fawning/uncited additions from Special:Contributions/Abe.nysenate, the name nomenclature was obvious enough for me to be suspicious, but I merely reverted and COI noticed them because I saw only tenuous overlapping edits for an SPI. Also, Myrie's middle initial is Y as seen as on his state leg page and twitter and the fact that "FML.nysenate" is an established localpart of a gmail address for Senate staffers, it seems like this might by Myrie himself if not someone with his initials who still works for him, for instances see "Matt Baer Director of Policy and Communications Email: msb.nysenate@gmail.com". No comment on whether the abe.nysenate account was Austin William "Bill" Erwin or someone else on the Myrie staff who is not listed on their State Gov contact us page. JesseRafe (talk) 19:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , thanks for pointing that out. I think you handled it correctly in March given the circumstances. Now this new account is here. I'm of the impression that it's Myrie himself, or someone in his office or campaign staff. I thought I had seen other users with ".nysenate" in their name. Some of the changes may be constructive, I plan on taking a look later unless you or someone else beats me to it. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:52, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

 * This is a case of discrimination. Wikipedia is not supposed to do that. I was disruptively editing. I got banned for one word. I am asking to be unbanned so that I can fix one word without fear of being banned. Cbinetti (talk) 23:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * you are incorrect, there is no discrimination, and you've been blocked from editing one page, not banned, for your overall disruption. If you want to address the issue on that page, use the talk page and discuss content, not other editors. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:54, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This is discrimination. I will have to go to the Arbitration Commission or Wikimedia's legal department to assert my rights if the pattern of discrimination and retaliation continue. I was not being disruptive in context. The other editors were bullying me. DeCausa taunted me. I begged for help from Bishonen and he blocked me. This is discrimination and retaliation and it is illegal. I am being discriminated and retaliated against for being Italian, Catholic, and disabled. I was no more disruptive than DeCausa and Doug Weller, but they are white able men, so they can be disruptive. I tried to edit one word. I stopped trying to edit this page for months. I only tried editing it again recently. Bishonen said that I had disrupted for six months. That is a lie. How do I get unblocked? Cbinetti (talk) 21:32, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This is discrimination. I tried to edit one word yesterday and got blocked for life for it. This is discriminatory and needs to be fixed. Cbinetti (talk) 21:36, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you the same administrator as Bishonen. He is supposed to review my initial request for appeal. I have apologized to him and DeCausa and Hobomok and Doug Weller. I thought that I had apologized to you, but I do not see it. I got overheated. I am sorry. Please give me another chance to appeal. Cbinetti (talk) 22:46, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , I fixed your unblock request on your talk page. Another admin will consider it. I am not Bishonen, we are different people. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:49, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * With my disabilities and past history, it is far too easy for me to feel ganged up on and discriminated and retaliated against. I apologize for all the things I said about you. I was clearly wrong with you. I just am not sure if I was wrong about everybody. I hope to one day be an administrator but I do not think that I ever will get the chance, even if I get unblocked, because I have so many warnings on my record. Thanks again for helping me and I am sorry. Cbinetti (talk) 23:52, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

So on the Chesa Boudin article, there is someone that keeps editing the infocard. I’m asking you because you seem to know your stuff. Is she right or wrong? I just don’t want to edit it because I’m not as high as her… Bbraxtonlee (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2022 (UTC)


 * , none of us have status, if that's what you mean by I'm not as high as her. While I'm an admin, that doesn't mean anything when I'm involved in content editing.

On June 12, 2022, in a game between the Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners, Refsnyder earned his "Superman" nickname by making a sensational diving catch while playing right field.[84][85][86]

Question about MLB player
On the official roster on the A's website, I saw that Seth Brown was listed as a 1B. On the template however, he's listed as an OF. Should I move him to the INF category or leave him in the OF category? Apdiggs1997 (talk) 02:11, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , if MLB.com lists him as a 1B, we should be listing him as an infielder. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:16, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Teresa of Jesus, Child – hoax museum
I recently put forward an article for deletion as a suspected hoax, title Teresa of Jesus, Child. It was deleted as per G7, but given its longevity (November 2010–June 2022), I think it should be archived and moved to the hoax museum. 00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 20:17, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * , is it a hoax? I don't know what this source is and can only make out some of what it says based on my high school Spanish. http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/93698 – Muboshgu (talk) 03:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I pointed out on the AfD page that no other sources existed (besides the website, which was actually in Italian) and the exact dates and location were linked to a different saint. The creator of the article also admitted she made a mistake and wrote it in good faith. 00sClassicGamerFan (talk) 06:56, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Yeah, it's a hard day for me. Scary to be a woman in the US, especially one who is mid-pregnancy. And the hypocrisy is truly amazing. Today "states have a fundamental right to tell women what to do with their bodies and legislate it!" but yesterday "no, no, how dare states try to legislate gun rights, those are federally protected!" PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

You forgot to revdelete the edits for the talk page. On IRC, it appears that other administrators did not approve of your decision, as it was ordinary vandalism. I just think we should be consistent. The consensus appeared to be to undelete. Scorpions13256 (talk) 22:27, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm very disappointed that you persist with content on the Kari Lake page that makes statements that are potentially untrue. At the very least, the public should know that the person making the remarks is being sued by Kari Lake as defamatory.

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * ICS Zulu.svg BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
 * Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
 * Transgender Pride flag.svg Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

US Bias
Don't ever post on my talkpage or ping me ever again (this includes handing out of ITN credits). Your support of a US article at WP:ITNC is a clear US bias in my opinion, and I refuse to tolerate it. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:34, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * , you must be joking. I said I want to support the Copenhagen article, but it's quality is poor. You want to support the Copenhagen article but not Highland Park, that shows your bias is very clearly anti-US. And I don't believe I've posted on your talk page or pinged you, aside from this reply. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:38, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The article quality on 2022 Highland Park parade shooting is just as bad, but apparently that's fine for you... Joseph2302 (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The Highland Park article is no longer a stub, while the Copenhagen article was when I last looked at it about an hour ago. The Copenhagen shooting was 24 hours ago, and the Highland Park shooting was about one or two, so I see that one improving at a much better rate. But, it's American, and you don't want to post American events that make the news, it appears. If the Copenhagen article gets expanded, I'll support it. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:43, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't know if you've ever pinged me before, but refrain from doing so in the future. With ridiculous comments like this, I don't think you should be replying to nominations that focus on such heated topics. The Highland Park and Copenhagen nominations are separate and independent of each other, except for your attempts to link them. This kind of nonsense behavior is what has made ITN/C such a battleground and I don't appreciate it. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:03, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

thanks for your edits--i reformulated the contributions to reflect your feedback (e.g., fewer sections) but I think a lot of this is newsworthy and widely reported. for example his political donations were a defining controversy of the republican primary and unusual for a republican ag candidate. the tibbetts affair was reported on by national media and resulted in rare condemnations from republican office holders that typically remain neutral in primaries.

also you eliminated newsworthy details about his business career and grouped his law school and government staffing under the headline of business and legal. there is stil little to no coverage of the various reported controversies from his ranching, banking and legal career.

Not sure if you saw the alternative I offered: What if we restore those topics that were included but which are now missing from the bio page Pol pos § in the form they were in prior to [ my splitting out the Pol pos page ], basically undoing part of my large edit? We could then work step-by-step from there. Going that route, there would initially be some duplication of material that's currently in the Foreign policy section, but should be easy to resolve. I'm willing to work from there if that makes it easier for all. Humanengr (talk) 23:32, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

I reverted the deletion of my April Madison edit which just came to my attention. If he wants to dress frilly, it's not our business to approve of or conceal it for him.

Hi M, since Ronald Acuña Jr. is in the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game this week, it might be a good idea to semi-protect the article for a week or so. I know protection isn't supposed to be preventative, but his article does tend to get more of these edits when he's on national TV. Thanks for whatever you can do.

Honest debate, not censorship, is required
Muboshgu, on the Paul Krugman cheerleading page, I made reference to a NYTimes op-ed written by Paul Krugman in which Paul Krugman himself says he was wrong.

Several users have tried to create a more balanced article on Paul Krugman, presenting both his good points AND BAD POINTS. The changes were being talked about (not actually made) on the TALK page. Each time, SPECIFICO summarily deletes all dissenting opinion.

How do you consider this censorship as neutral and unbiased? Where is the balance? where is the debate? How can there be a debate when one side is deleted without any consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.75.162.21 (talk) 15:43, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * There can be debate, there cannot be disparagement of the subject of a WP:BLP like whatever Princeton/CUNY nonsense you were spouting, or claiming that a Wikiepdia editor is a PR flack for the subject of the BLP. If you want to discuss adding mention of Krugman's predictions about inflation turning out to be incorrect, thta's fine. But stick to that without disparaging anybody, and you might get somewhere. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:47, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If you want to be involved in the debate, kindly take the time to educate yourself on the number of times SPECIFICO summarily deleted all dissenting views (from several users, not just me).
 * Look at the history of "edits". Actually look instead of just taking any one users opinion.   SPECIFICO has deleted opposing viewpoints over and over and over.
 * Censorship is not going to fix wikipedia 148.75.162.21 (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * PS - as someone who was directly involved in the "Princeton nonsense" as you called it, it was a humiliating period for Princeton. The lawsuits I mentioned (that were censored) were widely reported in many newspapers.  Some of us wanted the university to come clean, sunshine is the best remedy.  Others wanted to save face.  The "save face" crowd prevailed, at least in the short term.  Krugman was allowed to "retire" and the university avoided further scandal in newspapers.  But the matter still simmers in the minds of countless alum.  Perhaps Princeton's dirty laundry does not belong on a page specifically about Krugman.
 * The Krugman page needs to be more balanced 148.75.162.21 (talk) 16:19, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually present those newspaper sources rather than alluding to them obliquely. If there is relevant material to add, we can add it. But there are ways to go about doing this, and besmirching either the subject of the article or a Wikipedia editor is not the way. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:08, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The NY Times link that I included, and SPECIFICO deleted, was this:
 * https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/21/opinion/paul-krugman-inflation.html
 * This was clearly linked. Anyone who bothered to look at the history would have seen it.
 * If you aren't going to actually look at problems, what is the point of having editors at all? 148.75.162.21 (talk) 17:14, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * If you present the link without the smear campaign, we can discuss it. I'll start off the discussion. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The link was in there all along.
 * You and other editors seem to encourage a tight nit clique of Krugman cheerleaders who censor and delete anything and everything that doesn't meet their very partisan opinions.
 * Why don't you apply the same standards to them? Why is SPECIFICO allowed (and encouraged) to delete dissenting viewpoints?
 * If you want civilized dialog, you need to lead by example. You *MUST* apply the same standards to SPECIFICO and crazies like him.
 * You joining the debate late, failing to read the history -- and taking sides is not going to result in civilzed discussion.
 * More importantly, it will lead the public not to trust wikipedia at all. 148.75.162.21 (talk) 17:36, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have given you every opportunity to discuss adding that content in a constructive manner. Instead, you continue to bash us. If you were to engage constructively, we could add something to the article. Instead, I'm blocking you and I don't know that discussion will go anywhere. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:59, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

WP:BITE
Given that discussion of the crime as a lynching was already in the article, I feel like this was an unnecessarily snide reply and not in line with WP:BITE. Can I suggest that you tone it down a shade in the future? VQuakr (talk) 19:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't think he was being bitey - my response was probably a little off the cuff, but he was correct to ask for sources and if it was OR. <span style="color: white; font-weight: bold; background: linear-gradient(red, orange, green, blue, indigo, violet)">PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:12, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , how is it BITE to ask for reliable sources? I had not checked the article to see if it mentions the word "lynching". – Muboshgu (talk) 19:14, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Description as a lynching and the crime's role an example for driving passage of anti-lynching laws is a major aspect of the subject. Maybe if you are that unfamiliar with the topic and don't have time to look at the article you should let someone else reply? It was mostly the last clause that seemed snide to me. Communication over text can be tricky, though, so I accept the possibility that I am reading it in a way that the neither you intended nor was how it was interpreted by the IP. I had started a reply here before you replied, so your response wasn't a contributing factor to my feedback here. VQuakr (talk) 19:19, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , I"m plenty familiar with the topic, as well as WP:ONUS, AGF, etc. The IP did not put together reasoning behind their one line comment and I was attempting to get them to expand on it, with sources. I can see how it can come across as dismissive, though, and there are other ways I could have gone about responding to that particular comment. It was not my intent to BITE. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:43, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

winds of winter
Hello. I see you are trying to keep an article about a non existant book, Winds of Winter. It's a bit too soon to have articles about books that were announced 15 years ago but not written. This book doesn't exist, and you are trying to keep an article on a nonexistent book Polly Rood (talk) 20:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , "incomplete" and "non existant" are not the same thing. There are plenty of reliable sources for the incomplete book, which makes it notable whether or not it's ever completed. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:48, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The author has promised no particulars. The article lists characters, plot points, and even a sequel. This book has been "incomplete" for 15 years, and any prose beyond "this may be the title of a sequel" is pure WP:Crystalball The article is sourced largely to 12 year old blog posts, and these are unlikely to be related to the state of the "book" today. There is no such book, it has no characters, it has no prospective release date. It has no publisher. There is no draft manuscript. The author is still blogging that he is thinking about what to include. This book isn't real and may never be released, especially under this title. Just speculation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polly Rood (talk • contribs) 20:54, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

G-Eazy
Hi Muboshgu, may I ask is there a way to edit G-Eazy’s page to where you can “pull down” his “Early life, career, and discography etc” to where there is the “pencil edit icon” for editors to edit it? For some odd reason you have to go all the way up to the top of the page and hit the pencil icon in order to edit all sections which seemingly opens the entire article, like everything isn’t separated as most usual pages on here should be. Hopefully you understand what I’m saying as it’s sorta hard to word it. Pillowdelight (talk) 01:05, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , you mean that you're unable to edit a section on that article and instead have to edit the entire page? Yeah, I see that problem as well. I don't have "pencil icons", but it says "[edit source]" for me at every section. But, not on G-Eazy's page. I don't get those shortcuts. Huh. Something may be broken on that page. Try asking at WP:VPT. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:35, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually nevermind that, I think I fixed it. I took a look at the wikicode and took out a line that was preventing section editing. I had no idea that existed, and have no idea why someone thought it was a good idea. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:37, 26 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes it is now fixed! Thank you! I’ve been confused on why it was like that? Pillowdelight (talk) 01:39, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It was that way because an IP user added it here. They also added "STATICREDIRECT" in the next edit. What is that? BilCat (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note that the IP was later blocked for 2 week for vandalism on another page. BilCat (talk) 02:31, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Repairing access-date info on the FBI Search of Mar-a-Lago article
Thanks for cleaning some of it up. There is also this revision which cannot be undone, because other edits were mixed in with removal of access-dates. : /

Will this need to be done by hand, or is there a script that could do that? Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:07, 27 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Oy. I'm not aware of a script that can get around an edit conflict. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:18, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I reverted it back. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:20, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:24, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Muboshgu: No, you are misreading the documentation. "Access dates are not required for links to published research papers, published books, or news articles with publication dates." That could not more clearly support my position. Your quote does not appear anywhere in the documentation page. Please revert your "restoration" and reversion of my work. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:22, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm quoting Help:Citation style 1. The template documentation and Help page are not in synch with each other. The help page takes precedence and is the correct point. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:25, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Muboshgu: What? No, it doesn't. The template documentation shows how a template should be used, not an optional help page. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:30, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Regardless, why are you removing access-dates? What is the purpose of these edits? Andre<span style="border:2px solid #073642;background:rgb(255,156,0);background:linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255,156,0,1) 0%, rgba(147,0,255,1) 45%, rgba(4,123,134,1) 87%);">🚐 21:32, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * User:Andrevan: I was working on cleaning up reference formatting in general on the page, and was standardizing the "cite web" and "cite news" templates for that purpose. I looked to the documentation and, seeing that the "access-date" parameter wasn't needed, systematically removed it. I was going to continue working on cleaning up the references, but, of course, I have been thoroughly reverted. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:34, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no way that access dates are optional for web sources. That's most of what we use to cite articles on Wikipedia. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:34, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * User:Muboshgu: I don't know what to tell you: I looked at the template documentation, and it clearly stated that "access-date" is not needed. I agree with that choice, as well, especially with the prevalence of archived sources (which I was also working on). TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:36, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I see that WP:CITEWEB, a content guideline page, says it's "typically included", along with the other typically included parameters. Required when there is no publication date. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * User:Muboshgu: That's for cite web, not cite news, and cite web's documentation doesn't mandate it either. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 21:43, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no need for it to be removed, so please just stop. It's useful to know when someone has accessed the article & related information that is being referenced. Thank you! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:58, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have removed it if I thought the article would've been better with them. They take up space and provide no useful information. The articles may change very quickly when they are first published, such that a day is not sufficiently specific, but then not change for an extended period of time, at which point several days, or even weeks, make no difference. For reference to specific versions, archived copies are valuable; but dates, in the abstract, are not. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 22:04, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please just stop. Other editors clearly disagree. Thank you! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 22:25, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This discussion is probably better suited to the talk page, but as the actual editors are off, it won't progress any further at the moment. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 23:05, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:27, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
 * These citations, being edited (by you) are for websites where the info may frequently change, these are not citations for news articles from the printed paper version etc. Books and other published material doesn't rapidly change in the same ways as digital information. This is the difference. Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 21:38, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Incident
There is currently a discussion at Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Stone walling. The discussion is about the topic Topic. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kitchen Knife (talk • contribs) 15:23, February 2, 2022 (UTC)

I can confirm this Muboshgu is stonewalling me in the mark Takano wiki page. Mangbroson (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Mark Takano
You are incorrect and letting your emotions get in the way of my edits and you haven't responded to my rebuttal.

"In the documentary "What is a Woman?", Takano is asked a difficult question by interviewer Matt Walsh. Takano begins answering the question, leading him to abruptly end the interview early without providing a reason."

How do I cite this documentary to your satisfaction alsowukai? You didn't add anything to the talk section. Are you disputing this is true? Mangbroson (talk) 16:02, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

How do I cite this documentary to your satisfaction alsowukai? You can't. This "documentary" is WP:UNDUE for Takano's article. Your citation isn't WP:RS, not that it would overcome UNDUE, and edit isn't WP:NPOV, as well. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 25 August 2022 (UTC) How is this documentary WP: UNDUE for Takano's article? I'm not arguing for or against the opinions in the documentary, I'm stating a fact. I backed up this fact with a citation that you consider unreliable. There is a simple solution - watch the documentary and you will find everything I said is true. There is no issue of neutrality if I am only stating a fact and not providing an opinion. I invited others to add or edit my writing if you think I left out certain facts about the interview. Right now, you've mentioned UNDUE, RS and NPOV as issues with my edit but none of them hold water. I don't want to assume you're arguing against my edit because of your feelings, but right now you're acting like a lawyer trying to stall a case you know you're going to lose. Finally, if you think this fact isn't relevant to his page, I would argue it is far more important than the fact that he makes teriyaki sauce with his family. I'm new to Wiki editing and learning trying to write with less hostility, but it seems you're trying to bully me into submission. @tamzin and User:@peter gulutzan can I get your opinions on this? Mangbroson (talk) 18:02, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

This is true, relevant and properly cited. Can you explain your reasoning behind why you think this addition should not be allowed? Mangbroson (talk) 19:04, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I addressed this on the article's talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello,

Why did you revert the edit that cited "spacing per MOS:SPACEUNDERHEADING" as the edit summary on the Recession page? ♥ Th78blue (talk) ♥ 16:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I saw what I did. Funny, that truly was on accident. I suppose I was a bit hypocritical in that edit. Let me fix it and just do what I intended to do. Since I wanted to do two separate edits, I will leave out the more controversial one for now then. Thank you. ♥ Th78blue (talk) ♥ 16:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

One sided censorship, it seems.
My edits are censored even though they are based on fact based material and properly edited, cited etc, but when I try to delete text my edit is disallowed because wiki “does not allow censorship”? Amazing. One might assume you were working to some kind of agenda. Kellogsricecrispies (talk) 16:57, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Not allowing you or other editors to insert poorly our unsourced content, original research and the like into articles isn't censorship, it's called having standards and some amount of quality control. Or, in your case, not allowing you to indiscriminately remove reliably sourced content just because you don't like it isn't censorship, it's literally the opposite. <span style="color: snow; font-weight: bold; background: linear-gradient(DarkGreen, Green, DarkOliveGreen, ForestGreen, SeaGreen)">PICKLEDICAE🥒 17:00, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Did you read my post? I cited every.single.thing. Everything. “Unsourced content”. So my content which was carefully sourced and cited gets ditched and another source which references a dodgy “official” report insinuating drug use and carelessly disregards the reputation of the individual and his family is accepted as gospel. Way to go man, it’s great that you’ve taken the moral high ground here. Kellogsricecrispies (talk) 17:34, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I never said anything about "unsourced content". But actually you didn't cite anything. You mention a Rolling Stone article, but there's no source presented. As in the actual URL. Adding [70] is not a citation. This is a URL citation that can be used. https://variety.com/2022/music/news/taylor-hawkins-10-drugs-system-colombian-authorities-say-1235215813/ – Muboshgu (talk) 17:37, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

“Reliably sourced information” a rushed urinary drugs screen released by the Columbian authorities against the wishes of the family. Reliable. Right. How in gods name are people like you allowed to moderate? Kellogsricecrispies (talk) 17:36, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

You literally said I was trying to insert “unsourced content” dude. Read your message. Kellogsricecrispies (talk) 17:38, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * You should read a bit more carefully. I didn't say that. My friend in the pickle cabal did. But, she's right. You didn't provide the citation in the article as you are supposed to, you are mentioning an article that you failed to link to.
 * We do not judge the RS to question them the way you are doing. That is original research, and is forbidden. Also I am bothered by your not assuming good faith in your fellow contributors. If you do not engage in this constructively, on the article's talk page, without ad hominem attacks, I will block you. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:39, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

 * And there's a personal attack. You're blocked. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:40, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm not surprised this thread exists - it seems some editors have an issue with the addition of truths they don't like. Muboshgu, you should look in the mirror and ask yourself if you may be censoring legitimate content based on your personal beliefs. You've had 3 people disagree with write threads on your page just this year based on your stonewalling and censoring information. There seems to be a list of "preferred media companies" you have in your mind and if the source doesn't match this list, it is therefore not reliable. Please don't take this an attack - on the contrary, I am telling you in good faith that your personal beliefs may be interfering with the truth. Mangbroson (talk) 16:18, 2 September 2022 (UTC)


 * , threads like these where people make personal attacks on me do not prove that I am the problem. Quite the opposite, in fact. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Have you considered that you may be letting your biases and personal beliefs get in the way of the truth? Mangbroson (talk) 16:19, 2 September 2022 (UTC)


 * , have you considered that "truth" is not the only factor we're supposed to consider? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I have considered that, but this is an online encyclopedia. In regards to Mark Takano, you've argued that 1) my source is unreliable when it has a video of the incident I wrote about, and what I wrote was not defamatory or opinionated in any way. 2) you are arguing the incident in the documentary is not important while arguing his terayaki recipe is. In the context of his life and career, as an elected politician, how can you justify saying his interview is less important than his terayaki recipe? Seriously, what is your angle on omitting my comment? I have a hard time believing you actually consider this and non-issue. Mangbroson (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no "angle". And you're not WP:AGF if you think I have one, beyond the WP:5P. The documentary is not significant to Takano's biography. His position on Taiwan, however, is relevant. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:45, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Tim Ryan edit
Hi,

My edit to Tim Ryan’s page was strictly factual.

1. There was a primary on May 3, 2022. 2. Ohioans voted for U.S. Senate candidates. 3. Tim Ryan was a democrat candidate who ran, and won against Morgan Harper and Traci Johnson.

The edits I added noted those three facts and were stated in a neutral manner. Dwigginsj3 (talk) 04:46, 5 September 2022 (UTC)


 * This edit is okay, so I'll put that back in. Putting the word "Controversy" in bold is not neutral. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

The word “controversy” was previously in bold. During my edit I accidentally merged the word with my edit and the word’s formatting was removed.

By making the word bold, again, I was fixing my error. Dwigginsj3 (talk) 05:01, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

William Hurt - edits by "Tropic Wolf"
I just posted a note in the talk section about the wiki page for William Hurt. Whoever Tropic Wolf is, his commentary is blatantly right wing white supremacist, and the fact he literally has a sycophant posting his praises immediately after his first talk post about the changes he made concerns me greatly. I see you have intervened before, but I am still concerned that there will be further attempts to mangle the page from white supremacists. I really do feel you should move this up the chain, even to the point of banning Tropic Wolf from being able to make ANY edits to any wiki pages, permanently. I believe this person to an actual dangerous individual, dedicated to the exact opposite of what you believe in... truth.

thanks for taking the time to read this, signed: concerned. 121.98.228.243 (talk) 11:39, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I just read the entire discussion. Your accusations about tropic wolf are inaccurate and defamatory. You are worried the page will be mangled by white supremacists? I'm not sure if you believe what you're saying or if you have an agenda looks Muboshgu. Either way, your attempt to silence tropic thunder is far more dangerous than his quest for fair reporting. Your "dedication to truth" is non-existent. Mangbroson (talk) 14:52, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

 * The page was deleted as a copyright violation of this. But, I believe the tagging editor,, and the deleting admin, , made a mistake here. That source appears to me to be a mirror site that copies Wikipedia, not the other way around. I believe those edits should be restored, and I'm requesting an informal re-review rather than undeleting it myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:39, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The mistake was made due to the material being copied from another WP page without attribution.

There is plenty of room in USER TALK to explain all the many reasons you have for undoing my addition to the Matt Gaetz investigation story. I'm curious what those reasons are. Please respond. Let's try to remain politically neutral and just tell the story. The "anonymous sources" doesn't cut it because there are tons of stories here in Wiki with details that come from anonymous sources. The fact that it's being reported is often part of the story, especially when nobody refutes it. In this case, the prosecutors have NOT stepped forward to call the WaPo claim false.

 * , talk pages have plenty of space but I think this would be better done on Gaetz's talk page, which others interested in Gaetz's article can more easily find and participate. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:36, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Legacy version of Newspapers.com
Since nobody at the Newspapers.com help desk or at Wikipedia talk:Newspapers.com seems to want to answer me, I'll ask you, who I've seen cite the legacy version of newspapers.com recently: how can one have the legacy version of viewing papers set on the website? Whenever I click on a newspaper, it shows me it through the new version (see here), which I do not like. I like using the legacy version much more, but can't seem to find how to have it set as my preference. I would appreciate if you could tell me how to do it. Thanks.

 * There's a new version and I'm on the "legacy"? Actually, that's news to me. When I clicked on the link you shared, it changed to https://www.newspapers.com/image/legacy/390719390/?terms=john%20smith automatically. I must have it accidentally somehow? – Muboshgu (talk) 01:38, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

 * you have repeatedly bullied me on wikipedia by making unfounded accusations 2603:7000:3540:AF:205D:AFEC:BBC7:E3A3 (talk) 21:48, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I have demonstrated that what you say you added to Adams' article is not what you added to Adams' article. That's not "bullying". I recommend you edit in a more collaborative manner in the future if you want to achieve your desired outcome(s). – Muboshgu (talk) 21:55, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Then update it with accuracy since you took away any of my power to do do the appropriate edit

 * WP:ONUS is on you to get a WP:CONSENSUS for that on the article's talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * you are a bully - here's the definition - and do not dictate my behavior - it's rude and elitist.
 * bully - you attempted to intimidate me when you made a false accusation regarding my approval/like/dislike of Mayor Eric Adams and you did this from a position of power with your status on wikipedia
 * elitist - you were writing in a manner of a superior attitude and behavior 2603:7000:3540:AF:205D:AFEC:BBC7:E3A3 (talk) 23:22, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If I was a bully, you would've been blocked by now. I'm not the one engaging in petty name calling here. You're on my talk page, not the other way around. This is unbecoming of any editor. Give it a rest. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
