Charles Saatchi
Regarding your edit summary of your recent edits to Charles Saatchi, "She [Heather Harvey] works for a charity that works with domestic violence victims and understands the subject", in my response to my edit summary reverting your original edit ("just the opinion of someone with an agenda having no first hand knowledge"): She works for a charity that works with domestic violence victims reinforces my point that she is someone with an agenda; and while she may understand the subject of domestic violence, there is no evidence she has knowledge of the subject of the article (Charles Saatchi), or of the facts of the event she is commenting on. --hulmem (talk) 17:22, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Ark Encounter: attendance
Here's an interesting thread in Reddit that I came across while googling for Ark Encounter attendance: [https://www.reddit.com/r/atheism/comments/4rwt9v/im_an_atheist_and_i_visited_ken_hams_ark/ I visited Ken Ham's Ark Encounter on opening weekend. AMA]. I had been wondering how it would do and it appears is that the place is not that interesting to be at to begin with. It's neither a theme park nor a "museum", but a strange combination of both. Who would want to be indoors at a theme park? K.e.coffman (talk) 16:42, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gabriella Taylor


A tag has been placed on Gabriella Taylor 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 a person or group of people, but it 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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:39, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Unattributed statements of opinion
In several places you have added statements of opinion as if they were facts, e.g. in National Health Service and Premiership of Theresa May. Please try to make sure in future that you attribute any statements of opinion to whoever was making them, e.g. "John Smith in the Guardian wrote that X is true" rather than "X is true." Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 12:29, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I try to attribute opinions but sometimes it's hard to tell what's fact and what's opinion. Proxima Centauri (talk) 12:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I added an attribution. Still frankly I feel so many people have criticised May's grammar school plan calling it controversial is objective. Proxima Centauri (talk) 13:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

I looked at National Health Service and read the source again for the suggestion that either funding must increase or the service must be cut. You're right, the source definitely states the opinion of the Royal College of Physicians though I think other sources expressed the same opinion. I have been paying attention to attribution but I'm sorry, I overlooked that one. Proxima Centauri (talk) 14:54, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Proxima, you may have missed the discussion at the talk page.

Proposed deletion of Gabriella Taylor


The article Gabriella Taylor has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

NPOV on HM Prison Service and other articles
On the article Her Majesty's Prison Service, I noticed that the "Criticism" section had grown from being non-existent just over a year ago until just before I edited it today. I did a word count and calculated that the criticism section accounted for 58% of the article's content. It read as a gradual collation of every single recent article about the effects of austerity on prisons, frequently criticising current government policy without giving them a voice. Even taking into account the recent publicity about disorder and riots in prisons, the article was in need of urgent change.

I realise that most of these edits were yours. Judging by some of the comments posted above, you may have done similar edits to other articles. I'm writing these suggestions as to how this work can be improved: Hope this helps. Anywikiuser (talk) 15:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a policy of neutral point of view. That doesn't mean that all opposing voices have to be treated equally; indeed this can sometimes result in false equivalence. Opposing views should be shown with some idea of how prominent those views are.
 * An article should always try to show the 'big picture'. It's so easy to zoom in and dwell on the negative side of things, and as human beings this is something we are hard-wired to do. However, if something is actually doing an acceptable job, this ought to be mentioned before discussing its failings.
 * An article should not show undue bias towards recent events. If an organisation was founded in 1917, the article should reflect its 100-year history and not be dominated by stories from 2017.
 * When adding content through repeated small edits, consider what their combined effect on the article is.
 * You clearly haven't listened to what I have been trying to tell you. Anywikiuser (talk) 12:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

You might think this will be another empty threat. We suprised you last time and destroyed your whole site, taking you four days to rebuild. Now we have the power to cause a Fourth Cross-Wiki War.

WikiMedia, Fandom, Wikia, all will be targets. You can not stop Daybreak.

I am Noxid, the leader of Daybreak. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:CA80:C140:F408:7DAB:5EBA:9B1A (talk) 17:34, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Edits on Ravi Zacharias
Dear Proxima Centauri,

you recently blanket reverted and edit of mine with the summary: "If you think so much should be taken out please discuss it on the talk page." 

I guess you are confusing my edits with other edits that attempt to remove large parts of actual content from the article (e.g. Fredparker), as you have opened a section on such edits on Talk. If so, you ocmpletely misunderstand my edit. My reverted edit actually consists of three different issues that just came together in this one edit:

1. The largest part is removing again the additions of User:Wouldjesuswritethis, who - under the summary "accuracy of facts" - is bent on making a big issue out of the RZIM board not making the identities of their members public. I have discussed this removal at Talk:Ravi_Zacharias. I initially did not aim at remove the entire issue but merely integrating it better, avoiding repetitons and attributing the criticism as such (and not fact). After reviewing the matter, I found out that the issue was based only on a single source. I suspected that this was a case of WP:UNDUE weight and hence removed it alltogether, explaining myself on talk. Obviously, I would have no problem in returning to my previous version, if that is the consensus.

Apparently, this all went right over the head of User:Wouldjesuswritethis, who then returned and reinstated his original, unacceptable version.May I also point out that that editor, has a certain history of this. Take a look at this revert. This "twisting a statement into its opposite" is even more obvious here.

2. I also removed an entire section titled "Fallout and Closure of RZIM", recently added by an IP user. The reasons for this are that it was not only unsourced but it also contained no additional information beside RZIM clearing "all data and information" from their website. The "Open Letter" was already mentioned and quoted from as was the UK branch cutting their ties. The reaction of RZIM Canada was also already included.

3. Finally, there is one little change that probably upset you the most: the word "rape". I removed it from the intro and section headers not because I somehow oppose or deny rape allegation against RZ but because as of now the article doesn't support it. Right now the only other occurence of the word "rape" in the article is a report from Christianity Today that One woman told the investigators that "after he arranged for the ministry to provide her with financial support, he required sex from her." She called it rape.

IMHO that is too small a basis for the other occurences of the word. Remember that the introduction and the headers are supposed to be only summaries of the actual content of the article.

Now, I have very little reason to believe that a predator like RZ has not raped anyone or that nobody has accused him of actual rape. I am almost certain that the reports are somewhere out there. But until they are included in the article, the intro cannot summarize what's not in the article.

I hope this helps in understanding my edit a little bit better, so that we can avoid any further blanket reverting.

Hello, I'm Curbon7. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Matt Gaetz, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. '' This is regarding the lede of the Matt Gaetz article. The statement you keep trying to shoehorn in ("Gaetz has been involved in a number of controversies including alleged sexual relationships with minors") does not belong in the lede, and is completely unsourced anyways.''

Hello, I'm Inexpiable. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Capital punishment in Oklahoma seemed less than neutral and has been removed.

Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined WikiProject Skepticism. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.

The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.

The WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.

Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I assume you mean this and this, which are spurced from The Guardian snd The Guardian is certainly reliable. Please do not pretend otherwise. Proxima Centauri (talk) 15:22, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Proxima Centauri, yes. And yes, The Guardian is considered to be generally reliable, although per WP:RSP Some editors believe The Guardian is biased or opinionated for politics, so using for such needs a great deal of care.
 * That's not quite the point here though, the point is that even The Guardian doesn't support what you wrote. It doesn't support that she resigned over alleged 'security breaches'. It doesn't say that's why she resigned, it uses that phrase when it says that she is under pressure to answer fresh questions about alleged 'security breaches'. Talking about why she resigned it says she fell on her own sword over a 'technical infringement of the rules' after using a personal email address to send an official document, which is from her resignation letter where there is no mention of security breaches at all. You need to be more careful with your interpretations. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Jake Berry. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- DeFacto (talk). 14:40, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

I believe the Evening Standard, which I sourced is reliable. Proxima Centauri (talk) 15:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)


 * @Proxima Centauri, you made this edit though. Where is Berry is strongly criticlal [sic] of Suella Braverman's security breach supported (you put it in Wiki's voice, so it must be supported as an incontrovertible fact) in that Evening Standard cite? The closest it gets is when it says he has claimed Suella Braverman committed 'multiple breaches of the ministerial code'. It nowhere mentions "security breach" other than when describing a Labour reaction. It says she admitted to a 'technical infringement' of the rules. Perhaps it time to stop trawling the web for negative comments about Tory MPs, and re-interpreting them into Wiki articles, until you understand how to apply Wiki's policies? -- DeFacto (talk). 18:07, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi ,

Please keep the following policies in mind:
 * Edit warring is prohibited; WP:DR provides advice.

Your recent editing history at Conservative Party (UK) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Czello 16:40, 3 January 2023 (UTC) Your recent editing history at 2023 in the United Kingdom shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree.

Tip for citing Wiki policy pages, guideline pages, etc.
In this edit you pasted the full external link to a policy page.

Inside Wikipedia, even in edit summaries, that long link can be replaced with a normal Wiki link to the page and section using the standard link syntax, like this WP:What Wikipedia is not - which appears as a clickable link like this WP:What Wikipedia is not.

Or better still, most policy and guideline sections give a shortcut at the top-right somewhere next to the section heading - the one you cited gives a shortcut of WP:NOTNEWS, which can be used directly as a Wiki link like this WP:NOTNEWS, which appears as a clickable link like this WP:NOTNEWS.

I hope you'll agree that makes links a lot easier to add and a lot clearer to read. -- DeFacto (talk). 14:43, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Your (made after I reverted a previous edit of yours) has been reverted by another editor as out-of-scope, which I agree with.

Contentious topic restriction
Given that you have previously been warned about much the same conduct as this edit, I am imposing the following restriction on you, in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator and in accordance with the Arbitration Commitee Contentious Topics procedure:
 * You are banned from restoring any text to a biography of a living person, or text which relates to a living person to any other article, that has been reverted by another editor. The only exception is for edits which are obvious vandalism. Any violations will result in blocks or other sanctions.

This restriction is indefinite but I will be willing to reconsider after three to six months. You can appeal it by following the appeals procedure. If you are unclear about whether a given edit would violate this restriction, you can ask me and I will be happy to provide clarification.
