Topics
You are a very good editor, a content creator of whom we definitely need more of around here on Wikipedia. So I ask you, why do you have to keep poking bears? You're already firmly banned from the KofC. Do you want to be banned from homosexuality next? Arbitration enforcement is on top of this one, unlike the Knights. Do you have any idea of the history of the article, between Roscelese and Contaldo80 and Esoglou and others? Esoglou was permanently exiled from Wikipedia by ArbCom. I hate to say Roscelese is in the right here, but she is a good-faith editor whose opinions should not be discounted or set aside so easily as you are doing. The best thing that could happen right now is for you to realize it's Lent, disengage from this topic, go edit in something inconsequential for 5-6 weeks, and see when Easter dawns whether or not it's really worthwhile for you to be messing around at contentious topic areas, against WP:SYSTEMIC bias that we'll never hope to upend.

Stop the Church
I would advise you to retract the statement you made "Contaldo, as another editor pointed out to you just 48 hours ago, you have been editing long enough to know the rules" or I will make a formal complaint. This comment was made by another editor, and not an administrator. And it was in relation to a discussion with which you have not been involved. It bears no relevance to the discussion under Stop the Church. You have used it to try to humiliate and belittle me. Contaldo80 (talk) 04:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , I am sorry if you feel that you were humiliated or belittled. That certainly was not my intention. If editing here provokes such an emotional reaction, as apparently it does, then perhaps you may want to consider whether doing so is in the best interest of your mental heath. -- Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 15:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It is your behaviour alone that disappoints me. I asked you to retract the statement you made and I will make a formal complaint if you do not. It was not relevant to the discussion in hand, and served the purpose to try to humiliate me. Why are you pointing to my separate discussions on one of the administration boards to refer to my "emotional response"?! Just what are you playing it? I advise you to make a real effort to observe absolute neutrality in your edits. If you can honestly say to yourself that you are not making an edit that is motivated by a defence of the Roman Catholic Church then you will have proved yourself worthy of editing on wikipedia. If, on the other hand, you are here simply to edit articles so they look good for this organisation and its associated parts then you really have no business in editing and may want to follow the lead of Elizium23 seeing as you seem so interested in that debate.

Fed up
I'm really fed up with you Slugger. You are possessive and you are biased. I think your bias towards Catholicism is a disgrace to the ethos and founding principles of wikipedia. I'm not going to constantly battle over every single edit as it's soul-destroying (thankfully I don't believe in souls). But you really need to look inwards and think carefully about why you are here and why you are editing. Are you interested in improving the sum of human knowledge or are you determined to present a particular narrative. You have a long way to go in my opinion if you want to demonstrate the former and not the latter. I have worked with many editors over the years, and I can honestly say that I have found working with you to be the worst experience. So kudos on that. Contaldo80 (talk) 02:52, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds like you're the different side of the same coin for atheism. You're acting like a manchild over Slugger being in favor of a synonymous term that makes sense contextually. Drassow (talk) 05:19, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , I am very sorry you feel that way. Truly. I've said before that if editing with those who disagree with you provokes such a strong emotional reaction then perhaps you should consider whether it is in your best interest to do so. Someday I hope you can do so without getting so upset or so personally involved. -- Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 02:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

hint
Please be cautious about including "philanthropist" in the lede, unless there's really something major. A number of NPP editors have begun to use it as an indication of likely promotionalism.  DGG ( talk ) 22:26, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , Thanks for the hint. That's how most of the sources described him. --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 23:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * of course they do. Most of the sources for a businessman are PR, at least to some extent, and most sources of any sort describe any one they are writing an article about in the most expansive way possible. That's why encyclopedias are different.  DGG ( talk ) 06:31, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Advice regarding chronic issues
RE Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents: I agree with the close that this issue is "stale", but this brings the problem that any current issue is just a "one-off incident" which is discussed and resolved, but the long-term pattern is not considered or acted on. Administrators' noticeboard is generally considered a poor venue for resolving issues like this, although it is an essential part of dispute resolution. The current ArbCom has shown signs of willing to take chronic incivility seriously. Honestly, you should have probably requested arbitration after those three initial AN/I threads which included the religious personal attack and the serious case of rev-deleting one's own edit. I am uncertain if a case would be accepted now, without further developments (perhaps inclining to not), but you shouldn't be afraid to try that if there are sound reasons. --Pudeo (talk) 08:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I second Pudeo's advice. Jusdafax (talk) 09:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * and, Thank you for the advice. I spend the vast, vast majority of my time here creating articles and adding content. I don't spend any time on noticeboards unless I am directly involved in an issue. As a result, I am only vaguely aware of what ArbCom does and completely unfamiliar with how they operate. If you think it is worth filing a case and are willing to take the lead, I would support you in any way I could. Or, perhaps, we could collaborate together to file one. I am really not sure what the best course of action is here. -- Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 13:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)


 * ArbCom is time-intensive, no doubt about that, and partly because of that I've never filed a case there. I would hesitate to start one without devoting considerable study first. You need to know how to do it right, and have a strong case. You do have the option of contacting ArbCom by email. In my view, Pudeo's last sentence is a good summation.

Arbitration Case Request
Hello I'm and I am a clerk for the arbitration committee. I recently removed some comments you made from the case request you recently filed, as they seemed to be a personal attack. Please keep in mind that all editors are required to act reasonably, civilly, and with decorum on arbitration pages, and may face sanctions if they fail to do so. I am also required by our procedures to warn you that arbitration clerks are authorized by the arbitration policy and ArbCom precedent to sanction users for conduct on arbitration pages, including by blocks and topic bans from Arbitration Committee pages.

Please undo the archiving
Please undo the archiving you performed. I believe it gives a skewed view of the conversation and forces me to repeat points I have already made to you. AlmostFrancis (talk) 18:55, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , Could you be a little more specific? I only archived conversations that have gone dormant for a month or more. I also left some that have not had any further commentary in more than a month but are directly relevant to other conversations (e.g. RfCs). If you tell me which you would like restored, I'd be glad to do it. Alternatively, you can restore any of them yourself if you want to continue a line of discussion. I think the real solution here is to set it up so that the archiving is done automatically. I'll work on that. -- Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 18:39, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * You archived two sections about sectioning right around the time you asked a question that had been answered ad nauseum. Is this your statement that you will not undue the archiving?AlmostFrancis (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , No. That is not what my statement said at all. In fact, I said the exact opposite. However, I don't think it benefits anyone to have 40 dormant sections on the talk page. Again, if you tell me what sections you would like un-archived, I would be glad to do it. I also encourage you to be bold and do it yourself. -- Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to fix that issue, so I just decided to move the contents of the malformed archive to the correct one. My advice would be not to use OCA on that page; I would suggest going to the script creator, but they've been arb banned.

Proposed deletion of John Farrington (Massachusetts colonist)


The article John Farrington (Massachusetts colonist) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Verifiable as having existed and led a worthy life, in local history and family genealogy sources ... but the same could be said for countless individuals. There appears to be no reason for an international encyclopedia to have an article about this person."

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Pam D  08:18, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Navigation
Hallo, Although I have my doubts about the encyclopedic value of John Farrington (Massachusetts colonist), I'll add a message I regularly post:

When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie John Farrington), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. Pam D  10:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Genevra R. Counihan moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Genevra R. Counihan, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. New articles generally need at least two (but preferably more) references from reliable sources that are independent of the subject that discuss the subject with significant coverage (trivial mentions do not contribute to notability).(See Rule 42) Information that can't be referenced to reliable sources should be removed from the draft because verifiability is necessary for information added to Wikipedia. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of  before the article title) where you can work on the article with minimal disruption from other users while you improve it. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready to be published, you can move it back to the article space yourself. However, I recommend that instead of moving it yourself that you follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template that I have added to the page. This submits the article to be reviewed by experienced editors that specialize in helping new editors write their first articles. —  Insertcleverphrasehere(or here) (or here) (or here)  20:53, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

 * , For the last several years, my main focus has been on Women in Red. I found a list of every female state legislator in Massachusetts, the single source used is this article. I've created dozens of stub articles using it all following the template in my sandbox, and none have been moved to draft before. That single source has always been enough to demonstrate that the article passes GNG. I don't have time to give them all the full treatment I would like, so I figured a stub was better than nothing. If my understanding is wrong, I would appreciate being set right.
 * I've also found a few new sources for this particular article, though, as I suspected it would be for a two-term backbencher, coverage is light. I submitted the draft for review. If you would be kind enough to give it another look I would be obliged. --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 13:23, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding additional sources. Note that a single source is never enough to demonstrate meeting the GNG. The GNG requires multiple independent and reliable sources that show significant coverage. I guess the issue is that stubs on rarely visited pages like this rarely get significant future improvement, so it is important to be meeting at least the bare minimum of our sourcing requirements. It seems that someone else has already accepted it, but I would have happily done it myself. Nice work. —  Insertcleverphrasehere(or here) (or here) (or here)  06:40, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Unexplained addition of disgusting religious propaganda on the article HIV/AIDS in the United States
Hello, I'm GenoV84. 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 HIV/AIDS in the United States seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising, and showcasing. This applies to usernames, articles, drafts, categories, files, talk page discussions, templates, and user pages. GenoV84 (talk) 20:55, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I haven't edited that article in two years, so I'm not sure to which "recent edit" you are referring. If you can be a little more specific, I would be glad to try and rectify it. If you would rather I stay out and let the community work on it instead, I'd be glad to do that as well. I don't have the time for content disputes or inclination to engage in edit wars, but also don't want a problem to persist if I have the power to fix it. --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 01:28, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * The edit is Slugger fixing a ref, @GenoV84? PRAXIDICAE🌈 12:27, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No @Praxidicae, the edit is Slugger adding a self-published religious book which has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this article, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States, without explanation or justification. GenoV84 (talk) 13:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I am glad you fixed it to your satisfaction, Geno. I'll considered this resolved. However, I might suggest you reconsider using phrases such as "disgusting religious propaganda." I don't find the hyperbolic tone to be helpful. Additionally, the edit in question was two years ago, so again I'll note that it was not "recent." Glad it all worked out. --Slugger O&#39;Toole (talk) 16:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
