Administrative permissions and inactivity reminder
This is a reminder that established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period. You are receiving this annual reminder since you have averaged less than 50 edits per year over the last 5 years.Inactive administrators are encouraged to reengage with the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to be engaged with the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.Thank you for your past contributions to the project. —&thinsp;JJMC89 bot 00:31, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Bill Carmody Draft
Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Law. I am seeking feedback on a draft I created about trial attorney Bill Carmody, of Susman Godfrey, who has been profiled in the press several times because of the size and prominence of his cases. I have explained more here: User talk:Backyard116/sandbox/Bill Carmody/Seeking feedback. He’s a personal connection of mine, so impartial advice on notability and neutral point of view would be greatly appreciated. Backyard116 (talk) 16:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Re: Sweet Baby Inc. CTOP notification
It's worth pointing out that I filed this request earlier today; I was uncertain whether the gender and sexuality CTOP applied. I guess I can see a connection via Diversity, equity, and inclusion, and of course there's now a connection to Gamergate (harassment campaign) - but the gensex CTOP is no longer GamerGate; it was renamed / transferred in 2021, so it's unclear how things related to that topic are covered. Anyway, if you're of the opinion that it falls under that, or that everything related to GamerGate falls under the GenSex CTOP even if there's no direct connection to gender and sexuality, then you might want to weigh in there. Obviously I have no objection to the page falling under the GenSex CTOP if you're sure about that, as long as it falls under some CTOP... but personally, if topics related to gamergate are going to continue to be a locus for disruption, I'd prefer to have an unambiguous Gamergate CTOP again, or at least a clarification from ArbCom on the matter. -- Aquillion (talk) 07:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't seen that. My interpretation is that the WP:GENSEX remedy that says "all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people" and that "For the avoidance of doubt, GamerGate is considered a gender-related dispute or controversy for the purposes of this remedy" refers to the *controversy* of GamerGate, not specifically to a single article. The scope of Controversial Topics are to be "broadly construed" and per the explanatory essay on WP:BROADLY ""Broadly construed" is also used when designating a topic area as a contentious topic. In particular, if there is any plausible dispute over whether particular content is covered by the scope of a contentious topic (for example, definitional disputes: whether a particular issue counts as a type of American political issue, whether a particular practice counts as a type of alternative medicine, etc), that is normally taken to mean that it does. I'll weigh in, but it seems pretty straightforward to me that anything GamerGate related is covered under the GENSEX CT, as it inherently involves a dispute that is gender-related. ⇒   SWAT Jester   Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 08:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Sweet Baby Inc. Talk page SPA notifications
Hello! Regarding the SPA notifications on my account at Sweet Baby Inc. talk page.

Please note that I made a fair amount of editing on other Wikipedia projects and steered away from the main project mainly for 2 reasons:

- Lacking level of English language

- There was not much stuff to edit in general here, as amount of editors here is much greater than on any other Wikipedia project

Now to the page in question. I do, from the bottom of my heart, believe that changing it in proposed ways will improve overall quality of Wikipedia project. I believe you might agree with me if you're willing to dive deeper into the subject. In other words, I'm not trying to push this article in some weird propaganda direction unrecognized by general gaming community. My goal is to at least try making it neutral. You can learn more at the talk page.

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of Wikipedia. -- Moon darker (talk) 04:17, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the message; but to be perfectly clear I'm uninterested in the content of the page. I'm there to help ensure the conduct of the editors on both the article, and more importantly the talk page, remains constructive and free of disruption. With regard to SPA status, I understand that you might have edits on other projects, but the SPA designation is something unique to *this* project. On this project, your history shows that you meet the definition of a Single-purpose Account: "A single-purpose account (SPA) is a user account or IP editor whose editing is limited to one very narrow area or set of articles, or whose edits to many articles appear to be for a common purpose." And that's perfectly fine, if you edit constructively. We have plenty of very constructive SPA's editing across the project on their areas of interest. This topic and that page, however, is one that's subject to increased scrutiny as it is under contentious topic restrictions due to long history of disruption on the topic. Per the Arbitration Committee, "Single purpose accounts and editors who hold a strong personal viewpoint on a particular topic covered within Wikipedia are expected to contribute neutrally instead of following their own agenda and, in particular, should take care to avoid creating the impression that their focus on one topic is non-neutral, which could strongly suggest that their editing is not compatible with the goals of this project." As long as you keep those expectations in mind, you'll be fine. Though I would highly recommend making sure you ensure that your understanding of what "neutral" means is aligned with WP:NPOV. Best, ⇒   SWAT Jester   Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 05:02, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Sorry for an inappropriate invitation,.
 * While this notice is still here, please advise if IP users can participate in DRNs? Can't find any info besides that the filing user must be logged in. The IP user in question called an administrator in, and I'm afraid it might separate discussion into several unrelated threads (WP:FORUMSHOP?)
 * Also is ok in general to add users to open DRNs that are at risk of going stale, considering reaching consensus on the talk page would be quite unlikely? There should be a place to discuss things productively. Moon darker (talk) 06:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'm not aware of anything saying IP's can't participate in DRNs, but I don't frequent that part of the project so I can't say for certain. As to adding users to a DRN at risk of going stale, with the aforementioned caveat that this isn't a focus area for me, I'd suggest that the point of DRN is for users involved with a dispute to discuss it in a mediated fashion. Adding an uninvolved user, for instance, wouldn't help achieve that; an involved user probably should have been invited from the beginning. In any event, you can always ask the specific mediator/moderator for that case what they'd recommend; or as a general blanket policy question ask on the DRN talk page. ⇒  SWAT Jester   Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat! 06:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the answer, I will try to ask our assigned volunteer in the future, I just noticed that you were active at the moment. All involved users were invited in the beginning, but situation has changed over the last couple of days. Moon darker (talk) 07:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
