Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. BattleshipMan (talk) 15:49, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Not notable enough?
WP:N means that the subject is sufficiently notable to be on any stand-alone list. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. 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 List of evangelical Christians 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. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:51, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello Sun Crow: I was very impressed with the Women's Commission report adding the appointment by Andrew Cuomo of Lt. Governor (Kathy Hochul, already on the site) to lead the 100th Women's Anniversary Commission on his wikipedia accomplishments, and the removal of entries on housing and the environment (2017 and 2018 State of the State Addresses). Of course, I was concerned about the original author of the wikipedia on issues and scandals, especially for a Governor who could then be our US President in 2020! In addition, Kathy Hochul (wonderful videos online, historic in their own right) is directly involved with "the opposition" (e.g., Republican sheriffs and county executives) and "non-profit service delivery" in which it's a political football on the opiod epidemic "in my home town and county". ````Julie Ann Racino ```` 2018

 * First of all, the discussion you referenced on the talk page did not address the clause in the lede that I tagged as POV. So you're mistaken. Second of all, I don't believe that consensus is needed on the talk page before an inline tag can be inserted. I didn't even change any content. Third of all, drop the attitude or don't post on my talk page again. SunCrow (talk) 15:55, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Consensus is the mechanism for all decisions on English Wikipedia. Also note the usage notes for the tag that you place in the lead:
 * The editor placing this template in an article should promptly begin a discussion on the article's talk page. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant, then this tag may be removed by any editor.
 * The purpose of this group of templates is to attract editors with different viewpoints to edit articles that need additional insight. This template should not be used as a badge of shame.
 * This template should only be applied to articles that are reasonably believed to misrepresent the views of high-quality reliable sources in the subject. The personal beliefs of Wikipedia's editors are irrelevant.
 * Do not add this to a page more than a reasonable number of times, instead use one of the other templates mentioned below instead.
 * - MrX 🖋 16:06, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Adding spurious tags to articles
Hi Sun Crow Would you please stop TAGBOMBING Family Research Council? There are already discussions on the talk page and you have failed to get consensus for your contention that POV needs to be restored to the article. Tagging is not a consolation prize for being on the losing end of a content dispute. Also, edit warring when several editors have reverted your tagging is disruptive and can result in you being blocked. Please discuss any new concerns you have about the article content on the talk page and respect consensus when it is evident. Thank you.- MrX 🖋 11:50, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I added a total of three (3) inline tags to a fairly lengthy article. Another editor removed a clause that I had tagged, which would indicate that the tag had merit. This leaves a total of two (2) inline tags that I am seeking to insert. That isn't tagbombing. I also wouldn't characterize the situation as being on "the losing end of a content dispute," because to the best of my recollection, the two sentences I am currently attempting to tag weren't addressed in any depth on the talk page. So I'm not sure what the "consensus" is that you want me to "respect." Finally, if there is a consensus that involves keeping blatantly POV language in an article simply because it matches the POV of most of the editors, that doesn't work. I can't respect a consensus that isn't respectable. If you want to try to have me blocked, that's up to you. But I think you're overreacting. The article is still flawed, but it is significantly improved from where it was when I started working on it. SunCrow (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Tags are for bringing editors to the talk page. We're there now but you're not. You have not given an substantiation to why you believe the sentence is problematic. Tags are not for warning readers. If you have a policy-based argument about the sentence, please make it in the talk page. Also, you seem to assume that your opinion that the material is POV matters more than other editor's opinions. It doesn't.- MrX 🖋 16:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Just responded on the talk page. I never said or assumed that my opinion mattered more or less than anyone else's. However, I am not going to allow you or anyone else to pressure me into backing off, either. SunCrow (talk) 20:07, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents.

Breitbart Versus Wikipedia

 By

Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

<div style="font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 90%;"> By

WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by 

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey. The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:


 * 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
 * "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
 * "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here. (Discuss this story)

In Ages of consent in the United States, for the following statement:
 * Each U.S. state has its own general age of consent. As of August 1, 2018, the age of consent in each state in the United States is either 16 years of age, 17 years of age, or 18 years of age. The most common age of consent is 16.

you provide the following citation:

On the referenced page, the table provided is described as

This is not relevant, since this article is about age of consent for sexual activity, not the age of conset for marriage.

Hello
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that you are banned from posting comments on my talk page, unless, of course, you are  required to  by Wikipedia  policy . If you are required to post a notice on my talk page, please clearly indicate in the edit summary what policy you are doing so under. Any other posted comments will be deleted without being read.Please note that this ban also applies to pinging me. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:32, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Beyond My Ken, I will be more than happy not to post anything on your talk page, provided that you don't post anything about me on your talk page and that you stop making false and ridiculous POV accusations against me. I am not going to put up with any of it, and I will respond each time you do it. You have been editing on Wikipedia for a long time and are well aware of WP:AGF, WP:CIVIL, and WP:DISRUPT. From the way that you treat me and other editors, it is clear that you don't think those rules apply to you, but they do. SunCrow (talk) 03:37, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
 * From WP:TE:
 * One who "bans" otherwise constructive editors from their talk page
 * Some editors routinely tell other editors that they disagree with to "Stay off my talk page." The editors who do this tend to have long lists of folks that have been "banned." Talk pages are the fundamental medium used for editors to interact. Except in specific and clear cases of WP:WIKIHOUNDING, such "banning" is highly problematic and an indication that the banning editor is having serious problems cooperating with others.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from ACC 50th Anniversary men's basketball team into another page. 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.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Martha McSally. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.''Please engage on the talk page with Snooganssnoogans regarding this issue. I will be warning them next.''

The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Hello there, Mr. Crow. Have you tangled with this snoogans guy? I have recently acquanted myself with this character and have noticed that his edits are often riddled with mistakes and blatant violations of WP:NPOV. Snoogans obviously wants to impart his political opinion on Wikipedia, creating bad faith edits and spreading misinformation around the website. Just recently, he edited in some WP:NPOV-violating content into KidAd (talk) 19:41, 29 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey man. Thanks for your concern about the integrity of the encyclopedia. While I don't like to think of anyone as an enemy, I have been at loggerheads with him many times, and you can see that from my user contributions. I've confronted him about his editing on multiple occasions with no results. It's a problem. I haven't had the time to solicit outside involvement, which is clearly needed with him. SunCrow (talk) 21:15, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding soliciting outside involvement, see Sock_puppetry. Ian.thomson (talk) 06:25, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * By outside involvement, I meant involvement from someone outside the dispute via one of Wikipedia's dispute resolution mechanisms. (I thought the context made that clear, but maybe not.) I did not mean meatpuppetry, which is something I have never done. But who are you, Ian.thomson? And why are you monitoring and commenting on my talk page conversations? It's weird. And slightly Orwellian. SunCrow (talk) 18:23, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * You are aware that almost all actions on this site (except WP:REVDELed or WP:Oversighted material) are public record, right? This isn't your house, this is a public space.
 * I came across KidAd at his topic ban appeal, where he demonstrated that not only was the ban necessary but that his actions needed to be monitored (as he was edit warring in the area of his topic ban while the appeal was clearly not succeeding). Ian.thomson (talk) 18:27, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am aware that Wikipedia is public, and that my talk page isn't my house. For you to pop up out of nowhere on my talk page and start dropping policy reminders into conversations I'm having with other users isn't against any rule that I know of. It's just strange.

polite admonition
Hello, I'm AndInFirstPlace. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —Preceding undated comment added 17:59, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 * AndInFirstPlace, I had no idea what you were referring to, so I searched my history and found that you had reverted an edit I made to the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries page regarding Andrew Yang. Contrary to your comment, I did explain the reasons I removed the content, both in my edit summary and in three separate entries on the talk page. In the future, please do not make false accusations against me or other users. SunCrow (talk) 18:17, 17 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I understand your anxiety and shame about being called out, but I hope that you can try to use this moment as a learning opportunity. Rather than feeling anger towards those you have harmed, think instead about how you can do better in the future and hold yourself accountable for the damage you cause. We are all here to help you become a better editor and person, and there are a lot of great resources on here like WP: Teahouse that can help you avoid situations like this one in the future. No matter how far you travel down the wrong road, you can always turn back! --AndInFirstPlace (talk) 01:24, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Seniority
So, what, we can't add information to a page that was obtained by doing math? I tried to find where someone tallied up the combined seniority of outgoing House members, but I couldn't, so I did it myself.

Been a couple weeks since we beat this dead horse
I'm thinking of proposing this (yet another) revision to see if it will make everyone happy. What do you think of it: fine/not fine? Changes? Several Republican campaign advertisements were criticized for hypocritically expressing support for provisions of the Affordable Care Act that Republicans had recently voted to repeal, while others were described by various media outlets as having engaged in racist fear-mongering on immigration and crime. Note addition of "hypocritically", "racist", and removal of scare quotes around fear-mongering (which is a commonly-used word, right? and some editors might oppose b/c they think the scare quotes are diminishing). The reason I bring this up now is that the prior RfC on that page has now expired, so a new one could be started (though I'm not sure if it's worth it really, but at least it's an option, and we have A/B language to propose).

 * I think the first clause should do it to sum up the third paragraph. The purpose of the second clause being to sum up the second paragraph, I think editors will bay if there isn't a word in there that starts with the letters r, a, and c, and that will become the singular, unproductive focus of any discussion. To sum up the second paragraph now: 1st sentence: "...race." 2nd sentence: "...racially tinged..." 3rd sentence: "...nakedly racial terms..." 4th sentence: "...dark-skinned foreigners." (What do you mean, "undue"?) How about:

CMR and JHB
Hello. First, thank you for your edits to Jaime Herrera Beutler. That article has been in need of a serious copy edit for a long time. It is never good when an article is written largely by one author and I am not so arrogant to think I am an exception. Second, given your areas of interest and recent edits to that article, I was wondering if you might chime in on a discussion here regarding JHB and Cathy McMorris Rodgers. It is an extremely long discussion but essentially another author and I disagree over what ought to be included in the lead of both articles. Any chance you could chime in? Thank you. PrairieKid (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello, PrairieKid. Thank you for your kind words and for soliciting my input on the lead sections of these two articles.


 * So, here is my input, for whatever it is worth. First, I would recommend that you create two RfCs--one on the Cathy McMorris Rodgers talk page (already done) and another on the Jaime Herrera Beutler talk page. I do not believe it is a good idea to ask for input about the Jaime Herrera Beutler article on the Cathy McMorris Rodgers talk page. (Does that make sense?) Second, MOS:LEADLENGTH suggests that lead sections of articles of fewer than 15,000 characters be one or two paragraphs long; that lead sections of articles of 15,000–30,000 characters be two or three paragraphs long; and that lead sections of articles of more than 30,000 characters be three or four paragraphs long. The Jaime Herrera Beutler is (narrowly) in the first category, so I would suggest keeping the lead to one or two paragraphs. Third, per MOS:LEAD, a lead section "should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic". On that basis, I would generally recommend that lead sections of shorter articles omit biographical information like high schools attended, early career experiences, &c. Others might see the matter differently. Finally, it seems to me that the now-current version of the Jaime Herrera Beutler lead (which I just tweaked a bit; see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jaime_Herrera_Beutler&diff=883893820&oldid=883849680) could stand to be beefed up with an additional sentence or two, while the current version of the Cathy McMorris Rodgers lead (which I also tweaked a bit; see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cathy_McMorris_Rodgers&diff=883894514&oldid=883894304) is about right in terms of length.


 * Hope that helps. One other thing: It looks to me like you are now entitled to a Yeoman Editor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Service_awards#Yeoman_Editor_.28or_Grognard_Extraordinaire.29) service badge. :) SunCrow (talk) 08:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Edits at Republican Party (United States)
Can you please tell me that:

(1) you understand the difference between "climate change" and "human-caused climate change"? (2) you understand that Bill Clinton was impeached by the House?

If there is something unclear, please ask questions on the talk page. You've now repeatedly edit-warred long-standing content out of the article, even though it has been repeatedly explained to you how "climate change" and "human-caused climate change" are not the same things, and how the House impeached Clinton. And even though this content is sourced to RS. At this point, this is frankly bizarre. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:49, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Reorg at Boy article
Hi, SunCrow,

I appreciate your attempt to reorganize the section hierarchy at Boy. Please don't take offense, but I ended up undoing those changes and trying another approach, and have made numerous other changes in an attempt to bring some order to this confused article. However, now I think that neither your attempt, nor mine, as far as just organizing the sections is enough, because the problem at the article is much, much bigger than that.

There are two huge problems: the poor organization and structure, which you identified and tried to repair, and secondly, massive unsourced content which has been there literally for years. In fact, much of the content still present dates from 2006 and even earlier, back when sourcing was considered optional. Before I was fully aware of that, I moved large amounts of unsourced OR out of the article to the Talk page, where it could hopefully be worked on, pared down, sourced, and organized. But now I think even that isn't enough to rescue this article; the problems are too big.

This may be one of those rare cases when starting over from scratch is really the way to go, and I'd like your feedback on that. Please see this discussion on the Talk page, Talk:Boy. I'd really like to know your thoughts. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:18, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Mathglot, thank you for posting this explanation. I am not offended, and I appreciate you taking the time to let me know about your edits and request my input. It would be great if all Wikipedia editors (myself included) were as considerate. Also, thank you for taking the initiative to propose starting the article over again. It's possible that people who have worked on the article will push back, but I think you are right. Your willingness to ask the tough question is laudable. SunCrow (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Wierd tagging
I wonder why you tagged the Kathy Boudin article at "The School of Law maintains a video of her lecture.[19]" Following your tagging edit, this now reads "The School of Law maintains a video of her lecture.[19][better source needed]"  The reference is to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez9s8Hvmamc. If not dissuaded by your tag, the reader who follows the citation will see the following as standard YouTube poster's information, under the video of Ms. Boudin's lecture:

19th Annual Rose Sheinberg Lecture

NYU School of Law 9.6K subscribers Kathy Boudin, director of the Criminal Justice Initiative, gave the 19th Annual Rose Sheinberg Lecture on March 4, 2013.

Ms. Boudin speaks at a lectern marked NEW YORK UNIVERSITY. Off to the side is a board labeled NYU LAW / NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW.

Please explain why you consider the cited source inferior.

I notice also that you have a large number of edits to your credit. I have inspected very few of them, but I wonder how many are like your nine edits of Kathy Boudin on 19 May 2019. Please explain why you felt it necessary to generate nine edits to your credit in one day instead of repeatedly using the page editor's Preview facility and generating a single edit.

Finally, the Kathy Boudin article has a standard heading: "This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed." The very numerous "[citation needed]" tags inserted into the text (mostly by you, I would assume) seem both largely unnecessary in light of this heading, and get in the way of a coherent read. Better would be to try to source the various assertions yourself. A truly great Wikipedia editor would build up an article rather than take a long step towards making it unreadable. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 22:18, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Larry Koenigsberg:


 * To your first question: Please see WP:YTREF.


 * To your second question: I have no explanation, but am not sure what difference it makes whether I make one big edit or several small ones.


 * Regarding the Kathy Boudin page, I think you are right that my tags were a bit much. I have made some more edits that I believe fixed that problem.


 * Hope that helps. SunCrow (talk) 02:29, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I read WP:YTREF and observed that at the very beginning, this article states: "There are channels for videos uploaded by agencies and organizations generally considered reliable such as that of the Associated Press on YouTube." I would assume that NY School Of Law, the video's uploader, would be just such a reliable organization. I wonder if you do not think so (as I infer from your tag). Why would you not consider NY School Of Law reliable enough for a WP citation?


 * Larry Koenigsberg, I withdraw my objection to the YouTube video from NYU School of Law (not NY School of Law, as you called it). I am not satisfied that it fits the definition of a reliable source as set forth in WP:RS, but I don't think it's worth arguing about. Next time, I'd recommend that you post a question like this on the article talk page, not a user page.

"what difference it makes whether I make one big edit or several small ones" -- I mentioned this when I saw that you have accumulated kudos for your ample WP editing. The copious and presumably praiseworthy quantity of your editing might perhaps be exaggerated if you make several small edits when one would suffice. That is the difference it makes, in my view, although perhaps my reasoning is ad hominem. I also made several small edits at various points when I did not know what I was doing, but with your much more substantial experience, you ought not to have that excuse. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 01:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Larry Koenigsberg: Regarding making small edits vs. larger ones, another editor once chided me for making edits that were too big instead of splitting them up into separate edits. I suppose it's a matter of preference. Anyway, I am unaware of having accumulated any kudos for my ample WP editing, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. I think it's unfortunate that you would accuse me of trying to inflate my edit count. That is not something that ever entered my mind. Have a good night. SunCrow (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Re kudos, see "This editor is a / Veteran Editor / and is entitled to display this / Iron Editor Star" on your User page. Regardless, please accept my apologies for doubting your motives.

Then also, thank you for willingness to conduct this dialog with me.

Incidentally, I restored Kathy Boudin's YouTube video to her article, which it seems you deleted during your wholesale (and most welcome) removal of your excessive tags that motivated me to contact you in the first place. Regards -- Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 18:12, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

List of tenors in non-classical music
Hey, I noticed your edit to the List of tenors in non-classical music, and there is evidence that George Harrison was a tenor. Though its been kinda tricky to find strong sources to support the claim. I am aware that George did sing a lot of earlier songs in a high baritone register – I thought he was a baritone disguised as a tenor for a very long time myself – but there is still evidence supporting his voice type. If you are doubting that he was a tenor, what voice type do you consider him being? ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 10:53, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * C.Syde, baritone. SunCrow (talk) 23:28, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Personally I can see why some people would think that he's a baritone, since though his voice was pretty deep for a tenor, and I always used to classify him as a baritone myself. Until I discovered that while his natural pitch was probably more like a baritone's, the timbre and tessitura of his voice was more ideal for the tenor range. But each to their own I guess. I guess George will remain one of those singers and musicians whose voice type will remain debatable.


 * P.S. I always used to classify John Lennon as a tenor but then I realised that his timbre and tessitura were actually lower than George's, though the pitches of their respective voices are very similar. I've actually found both John and George sounding deeper or higher than each other in separate interviews, though John's voice sounds more raspy and less smooth, while George's voice sounds lighter and clearer. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 23:57, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Deletion seems rushed and improper
The speedy deletion of Elysium Growth Press seems inappropriate given the large number of references to it within Wikipedia. IMHO improving it would have been a better contribution to this body of knowledge. naturist (talk) 01:36, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * naturist, I hear you. I was unaware that there was a large number of references to that page. On the other hand, the page was (if memory serves) only three sentences long, so people who clicked on it didn't get much information. Perhaps some information about the topic could be added to the naturism page. SunCrow (talk) 03:12, 11 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't believe the deletion was rushed or improper, but I understand that you see it differently. SunCrow (talk) 03:29, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

SunCrow, if an article has a large number of articles referencing but the content is lacking, isn't a better tactic to ask to improve it rather than delete it? --naturist (talk) 22:35, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Pete Buttigieg Page
Am curious why you believe a sentence that says an 18yo Buttigieg "traveled to Boston to accept the award and met Caroline Kennedy and other members of President Kennedy's family" is more relevant to the article than a sentence giving background to the state of South Bend politics? I notice you did not find consensus on the talk page for your deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fifth Harmony Fanboy (talk • contribs) 04:26, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Fifth Harmony Fanboy, there is no requirement that an editor obtain talk page consensus for a deletion. As to the reason for the deletion, the material did not mention Buttigieg at all and I did not believe it was relevant. There may very well be other material in the article that isn't relevant, either; if you believe that's the case, you can feel free to delete other material that you find irrelevant. If you feel strongly that the material you added should be included, please feel free to raise the issue on the article talk page. Regards, SunCrow (talk) 04:36, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit-warring on Pat McCrory
Your recent editing history 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly..

 * Also, since you clearly have no interest in following WP:BRD, I started a discussion on the NPOV noticeboard where you can elaborate on your views about the concept "gender identity". Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:58, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * This is sort of like Joan Rivers chiding someone for undergoing too much plastic surgery. But thanks for the chuckle, Snooganssnoogans!! SunCrow (talk) 05:28, 19 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Continued edit-warring on the exact same issue. You've been reverted by two editors, and two additional editors on the NPOV noticeboard fail to understand what is supposed to "nebulous" about "transgender identity". No one has expressed support for your edit. Zero participation on the talk page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:57, 21 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Didn't notice that there was talk page dialogue. Thanks for letting me know, Snooganssnoogans!! I just posted some comments there.


 * It really is a mindbending experience being lectured about edit-warring by you, of all people. I'm not going to take it too seriously. You're probably just sore and sulky because of that 1RR restriction you're under. If it weren't for that, you'd likely be pushing the outer limits of 3RR just like you used to. By the way, what ever happened to making "an honest effort to understand the concerns of other editors" and "ask[ing] how those concerns can be reflected in the text without undermining the content of the sources and NPOV"? That's actually my favorite part of your restrictions!! Still waiting to see that respectful, conciliatory approach, though... Fortunately for me, not holding my breath. LOL.

Tina Turner and WP:LQ
Hello. I have been looking and it appears before you began your extensive contributions to Tina Turner's article, the punctuation was correctly placed outside of most quotation marks in regards to song titles and sentence fragments. It appears that in your copyedits and contributions, you've reinserted punctuation inside of quotation marks where it should not be. We have a guideline for this, WP:LQ. Please attempt to follow logical quotation in your edits to the article and elsewhere. There is no reason a full stop or comma should go inside of a song title where it wasn't originally. Thanks.  Ss  112   04:09, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, please see MOS:NUMBERSIGN. We should not type chart positions as "#8" but rather "number 8" or "No. 8".  Ss  112   04:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Whats the rush?
We had established a process for doing work together, suddenly there is massive unilateral change. Since I can revert, this is a waste of time.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 23:18, 19 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I completely agree that this is a waste of time. How did we get our wires crossed on this? You consented to the merge, there was no other discussion, I waited a week, and I did the merge. Your initial revert said that the public nudity article was too messy. I was already in the process of incorporating the two articles, so I re-merged and assured you that I would clean it up. I see that you have now reverted again, restored the merged text back to the public nudity article and are continuing to edit there. I don't see this as productive at all and wrote you both on the article page and on the talk page. We need to get on the same page here. What seems to be the problem? SunCrow (talk) 23:21, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I consented to a merge, not a hack job. My last posting on the merge discussion was that I was proceeding with a thoughtful removal of content from Public nudity to prepare for copying what remained. Rather than replying you proceeded to copy all the garbage to the wrong location in the Nudity article and proceeded to do a cleanup there. Differing paths to the same end, perhaps, but I do not see it that way.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 23:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for explaining, WriterArtistDC. I did not realize that you hadn't completed whatever pre-merge cleanup you wanted to do on the public nudity page, or I would have waited to complete the merger. I do take issue with the "hack job" comment. Also, it would have been preferable if you had created a dialogue with me rather than reverting all of the (considerable) work that I did to merge the two articles (which was not appreciated). I am not interested in doing the legwork of performing the merge a second time, so I will leave it to you or other editors to handle that if you/they so desire. SunCrow (talk) 07:15, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I do apologize for "hack job", it was my immediate reaction to seeing all the merged content dropped in without editing which negated the work I was in the midst of doing. After I merge the remaining protest content, "public nudity" will be empty, and I will redirect it.--WriterArtistDC (talk) 14:05, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted, WriterArtistDC. Thank you. SunCrow (talk) 02:36, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Warning
When you make an edit and somebody else reverts that edit, it is your responsibility to provide compelling reasons for changing the status quo. You can read what the reverting editor said in their edit summary and modify your edit to account for their concerns. Or you can use the talk page to discuss further or build consensus for your edit. You should not just revert the revert. Snooganssnoogans has taken on some commitments to change the way they edit. That doesn't mean that you're allowed to engage in the bad behavior, taking advantage of Snoogans commitments to win content disputes with your extra reverts. I expect you to also respect WP:STATUSQUO and WP:BRD. ~Awilley (talk) 18:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Rushing speedy deletion to avoid discussion?
The nominating of Toronto Helios Society for speeding deletion less than two day before Christmas seems, once again, rushed. The timing also suggests to me that you are trying to avoid discussions and that you prefer to make unilateral decisions on the content in Wikipedia. Otherwise, why would you not just propose for deletion? From Criteria_for_speedy_deletion "The criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) specify the only cases in which administrators have broad consensus to bypass deletion discussion, at their discretion, and immediately delete Wikipedia pages or media." --naturist (talk) 22:29, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * naturist: First of all, the Toronto Helios Society page has been redirected to Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. So users who search for "Toronto Helios Society" will get relevant information. Second, if the articles I've been proposing for speedy deletion didn't fit the criteria, they wouldn't get deleted. (If these articles had given any indication of notability, I wouldn't nominate them in the first place.) Third, most of the articles I've nominated have been around for a while. If the subjects of those articles really are notable enough for inclusion, how come those articles don't say anything that would indicate that notability? Either the articles should be worked on and improved to establish notability or they shouldn't be here at all. Having them languish for years doesn't make sense.
 * I do not plan on nominating any more articles for speedy deletion at this time. If I see an article that I think deserves speedy deletion, I will consider opening a discussion instead. SunCrow (talk) 22:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Categories
Just as a general rule, you should never find yourself blanking a category - if you've created one by accident then tag it with db-self to get it deleted, and if you're aiming to restructure a category hierarchy then it should be done by consensus via WP:CFD rather than unilaterally. Particularly on a topic such as naturism which can attract strong passions and which has its own (albeit fairly inactive) project at WP:NUDITY. Le Deluge (talk) 13:15, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, Le Deluge. Thanks. SunCrow (talk) 17:57, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Just adding a tag doesn’t really help. As articles go, it’s not badly cited. The better response is to go find some cites. KJP1 (talk) 22:37, 23 February 2020 (UTC)


 * KJP1, the template message does "help" because it signals to other editors that more sources are needed. I count a total of 19 "citation needed" tags on the page. That's a lot. Also, I posted something on the talk page about the need for more sources back in October, which doesn't seem to have made much of an impact. (I've done a good amount of work on the page, too.) So I added a template message. Rather than removing the template message, why not go ahead and add some sources? I think it's strange when other editors give me blowback for tagging an article for having sourcing problems. The problem isn't my tag; the problem is the lack of sources. That should be the focus, in my opinion. SunCrow (talk) 23:09, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn’t help at all. And it could sit there for years. I‘ve spent the last few days hunting down sources for an FAR. Try and improve it, rather than just tagging it. KJP1 (talk) 23:13, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Per WP:WNTRMT, leave the template message where it is. We can both try to improve the article. SunCrow (talk) 23:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I reserve the right to disagree with your assessment, but I will listen. I truly do want a neutral, impartial encyclopedia. SunCrow (talk) 02:53, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey SunCrow, I have a little issue with your edit on Ilhan Omar. You stated that "Per the talk page, the content satisfies the portion of WP:BLP regarding public figures.” I was the only one who mentioned BLP in the relevant discussion on the talk page at the time you made your edit and I just wanted to let you know that you misinterpreted my statement, in fact you completely twisted my words. How you interpreted "no RS refers to them as anything besides allegations so per WP:BLP we aren’t anywhere near where we would need to be to include this information.” as "Per the talk page, the content satisfies the portion of WP:BLP regarding public figures.” is completely beyond me and requires an explanation.

U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, in New York
Hey SunCrow, I also have an issue with your reversion of my edit to Richard Grenell. There's other U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN's - the other-most significant being in Geneva (there are other U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN at the U.S. Permanent Mission to the UN in regional offices, in, for example: Vienna, Addis Ababa and Santiago de Chile, but NY and GVA are the most significant installations, New York being the headquarters and Geneva being the location of the original League of Nations, and home of around nine other UN bodies).

Differentiating between New York and Geneva (which is the objective) is actually quite relevant.

One can also use the term, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, at UN Headquarters, New York.

Thanks. BlueSapphires (talk) 04:06, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

ps: For reference, I'm a former UN officer, was for many years, now representing an NGO at the UN. The nomenclature in the UN/diplomatic realm is a bit particular, i.e. specific. BlueSapphires (talk) 04:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * BlueSapphires, thanks for explaining. I have no objection to you adding "New York" now that I understand where you are coming from. However, the entire section on Grenell's State Department tenure is unsourced. So there's no basis in the article for saying which permanent representative he was working for. Are you aware of a source that might be helpful? SunCrow (talk) 04:25, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * You seem to be blocked, so not sure if you are around, but........ to answer your question..... For Grenell to be working as the U.S. Government Spokesman for the USMissionUNNY he would "de facto" be employed by the State Department, even if he was being seconded from another branch/office/whatever from any branch of the U.S. Government. There's a State Department phone-book, but sometimes with diplomatic appointments names don't figure in there (also with undercover operatives who use state department titles).  To simplify matters: if he was the U.S. Spokesperson at USMISSIONUN-NY, then he'd have been a State Dept officer. BlueSapphires (talk) 01:09, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I found the UN "Bluebook" (addresses/names of all diplomats in New York) from 2003, which lists him as a Minister Counsellor. In fact he wasn't a "Spokesperson" (which is a low-level title) he was a Minister-Counselor, which is a position which can sign treaties, and is sort-of-kind-of the level of Ambassador, but not the Ambassadorial role (like Deputy Ambassador).

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. 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:. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:11, 22 March 2020 (UTC) Well, this is a pity. SunCrow, do you think you could request reinstatement (assuming you wish to come back) with an offer to an unblocking admin of a self-imposed, voluntary topic ban (e.g., like these) on articles and discussions touching on abortion? You have plenty to contribute on other topics, and since this one seems to be the stumbling block, why not just quarantine it for a while, and concentrate on all the other topics? I think that could work for you, although if you do do it, make sure you can stick with it, because if you violate that, a second unblock request would be much harder, imho. I'm not an admin, but an overture like that on your part would get my vote. Afaict, you're not Talk-page blocked, so you should be able to request unblock in the normal way, here on your page. Here's hoping you come back, under those, or whatever circumstances. Good luck! Mathglot (talk) 19:13, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I also have the opinion that abortion is murder, but I am not a troublemaker in this area because I readily admit that it isn't an objective truth, but a subjective opinion. So, yeah, I would not change WP:MEDRS content based upon my own subjective views, this is a line I do not cross as a Wikipedia editor. Tgeorgescu (talk) 21:16, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment, Tgeorgescu. You may be better placed than I am to be an effective intermediary with SunCrow, since you seem to hold the same opinion that SunCrow does, whereas I hold the opposite one. But I stay away from such articles for the same reason as you apparently do. Thanks again, Mathglot (talk) 01:30, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your post, Mathglot. It was nice of you to reach out. I appreciate it. For now, being away from Wikipedia (and the attendant drama) is working just fine for me. If I feel the desire to edit again at some point, I'll be sure to consider your suggestion. Hope all is well with you. Best, SunCrow (talk) 10:21, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Resurrecting Mens Issues Wikiproject ?
Hello! I noticed that you have expressed that you would like to participate in the men's issues Wikiproject (I have too) and wondered if you'd like to help revive it? I'm still new to Wikipedia but I feel that men's issues (could rename it to men's lib to reflect the current name for men's progessivism?) can become more inclusive if we revive it? I'm a trans man myself and I can cover issues relating to trans men.

 * , SunCrow was blocked (here) so won't be able to help you directly with that, unfortunately. If they retain talk page access, they might be able to offer you suggestions here on their Talk page, but I'm not sure of their status. Mathglot (talk) 22:54, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I will copy paste this statement of mine from the SPI
 * SunCrow, as you're likely reading this I just wanna say that this is one of the blocks I'm in no way happy to make. You have clearly shown that you can be a productive editor and I've seen many good edits from you. My suggestion here is that you request an unblock on your main account potentially after a bit of a break as that will likely make the unblock request easier. I know that I'm not alone in thinking it would be good to have you back with Mathglot giving you their advice back in March
 * I hope to see you return to productive editing on your original account someday. --Trialpears (talk) 01:18, 6 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Trialpears, thank you very much for your kind advice concerning a potential unblock request. The chief reason I have not pursued that avenue is the fact that I do not believe that the original block was justified and do not believe that the process underlying the block was fair (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/Archive264#SunCrow). I doubt that anyone considering an unblock request from me would agree with me on those points. Given that, it seems unlikely that an unblock request would be fruitful. But I do appreciate your input. SunCrow (talk) 03:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * You are now 3X sitebanned. I was going to warn you not to sock further, but I am too late. If you want to get unbanned, you should just appeal on your main account and accept a topic ban from editing articles about controversial issues. However, you should probably wait at least 6 months. Scorpions13256 (talk) 01:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Forgive me. It does not appear that you are sitebanned. Sorry about that. I hope one day you do decide to pursue an unblock. Scorpions13256 (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
