Blocked
Sceptre: regardless of how you feel about the COI or conversion therapy (and FWIW, I view it as drastically not okay,) this diff is ridiculously inappropriate on any page, let alone a page under arbcom sanctions. I have blocked you for 72 hours. Kevin Gorman (talk) 19:35, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I personally don't think we should extend civility to child abusers and their sycophants, but, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do. It's weird, though; we used to ban people who made excuses for child abuse. Now we're blocking people for the exact opposite. Sceptre (talk) 19:37, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Please don't dig yourself a deeper hole. If you continue down this path, somebody is likely to revoke your talk page access. Read my suggestion above. Best, HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  19:45, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I see how it is. We've got to protect people who abuse children, after all. I thought we were better than the Catholic Church, but hey, looks like I'm wrong. Sceptre (talk) 19:49, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have revoked your talk page access for your continued behavior. You may make future appeals through UTRS. Mike V • Talk 19:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Sceptre, I'm altering your initial block. Three days for this was really really lenient. I chose to make it really light on purpose because I know you are normally a productive editor, and I hoped that a brief block be enough to make you realize just the level of unacceptable your comment represented.  Instead of getting the reaction I hoped, you tripled down on your initial comment, going as far as getting TPA revoked even after HJ explicitly warned you it'd happen if you kept going.  Unfortunately, I can really only stand by the original short block length if I was confident that when you were unblocked you wouldn't do the same thing again - and your behavior makes me actively think you will do the same thing instead.  I'm extending your original block to a month... but if you agree via email to not engage in a BLP violation like that again, I will significantly reduce your block.  I'll be monitoring my email at least a few times most days, so I should be fairly responsive.  You still have UTRS available to appeal the block if you aren't okay with the idea of agreeing not to conduct another similar attack. Kevin Gorman (talk) 22:23, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

OS X El Capitan edit
Hi Sceptre,

While I appreciate your start to the OS X El Capitan article, it was not the best choice for an new OS X article. I created the article OS X Mavericks (look back in the history), and have been a Mac user since I was 6, (I'm coming 24 this year, so I've seen a lot in the world of Apple) and OS X articles are usually some of the best Apple articles when they're given a chance. It takes time, but is well worth it. What I am getting to here is a redirect back to the OS X main page is not the best choice, especially when a new major version comes out.

Thanks for hearing me out. Haseo9999 (talk) 17:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * A redirect is preferable when we don't have enough content for an article, if only temporarily. Sceptre (talk) 17:41, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand why that was done now. Thanks. Haseo9999 (talk) 17:51, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.

Formal warning for personal attacks
In your comments in the discussion at user talk:Jimbo Wales you have made several comments that are personal attacks or borderline personal attacks, including casting aspersions. I understand you are passionate about the subject, but unless you are able to communicate civilly and without making personal attacks you will be blocked from editing.

I truly understand that being harassed is a real thing for female editors, and that dealing with people who deny this is frustrating to say the least, but ending the hostile editing environment requires civility from all editors, including you. Thryduulf (talk) 10:44, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah Sceptre, that was pretty revolting. I'm not one for civility blocks, but maybe I should be. Drmies (talk) 15:41, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, Wikipedia, where saying that somebody calls people a cunt is worse than calling people a cunt. Wonderful priorities there! Sceptre (talk) 17:12, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I mean, you said, and I quote, "If you think Wikipedia doesn't have a problem with women, you must be – pardon my French – fucking stupid;" "Corbett is just one example of the misogynist scourge on Wikipedia;" and "Personally, I'm just glad that Wikipedia has a large contingent of men who are have expert opinions on misogyny." It seems like you have some beef with the editors involved and I would suggest taking a break.

FAC voluntary mentoring scheme
During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.

Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton (talk) 21:50, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Terrorism
I think I may have actually removed it once before there were any sources for it. See my talk page comments. Of course, now there are. But we are pretty restrained about actually callings people or events terrorism, or used to be, maybe that's changed. Doug Weller talk 17:07, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Sadly, I think our restraint in labelling things as terrorism only when white people do it; there's currently a dispute at Talk:Murder of Jo Cox where people are squeamish about calling a man who was arrested, charged, prosecuted, and convicted as a terrorist a terrorist, but as a counterpoint, we had no hesitation when it came to Omar Mateen.

Weigh in on criticism statement in article
Hi,

I saw that at one time you were active in the WP:CRITICISM project. There's a BLP article called Noah Oppenheim, about the president of NBC News, that includes a statement that the subject of the article was "criticized" without further details.

I've started a discussion about an alternate approach here: Talk:Noah_Oppenheim building on a prior discussion here: Noah_Oppenheim

Your opinion would be greatly valued.

I have a COI here, representing the subject of the article, so I won't make direct edits.

Thanks,

Disambiguation link notification for April 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Heel (professional wrestling), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Rock ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Heel_%28professional_wrestling%29?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 been a long time...
Hi Sarah -- I hope you've been well and that life hasn't been unduly harsh to you. I'm hoping you remember me from way back in the day? Some wacky stuff sure went down back then, hahaha.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get in touch with you (off-wiki if possible, due to privacy) to just say hi and catch up a little bit. Rest assured that I have no intention of beating any long-dead horses, but am just at a point in my life where I see a tremendous amount of value in checking in on someone I once considered a friend.

All the best. <font color="#FE474B">♥ Fr  ed <font color="#4169E1">il  00:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Planet of the Dead lensflare.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Planet of the Dead lensflare.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:41, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

The article Doctor Who Prom (2010) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No independent reliable citations given (transwiki to a Who fan wiki if appropriate)"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:20th Century FOX fanfare.ogg
Thank you for uploading File:20th Century FOX fanfare.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Cite legislation UK – brief


A tag has been placed on Category:Cite legislation UK – brief requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Impeachment into Impeachment in the United Kingdom. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:23, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Category:Cite legislation UK – brief
Hello, Sceptre,

I saw your comment on Category talk:Cite legislation UK – brief. Except for a few limited types of categories (disambiguation categories, category redirects and categories subject to CFD discussions), empty categories are deleted on Wikipedia. But should you find a need for this category in the future, please feel free to recreate it. Unlike categories that are subject to deletion via CFD discussions, empty categories can be recreated should they be needed in the future.
