Bob Hawke edit
Hi, my edit to Bob Hawke was to add a link to the notable historical event that Hawke attended (as noted in the caption). I’m not sure why this was reverted as vandalism. 159.196.100.171 (talk) 07:52, 21 October 2023 (UTC)


 * My apologies. I didn't realise the event was commonly referred to as "Apology to Australia's Indigenous peoples". I thought it was commonly referred to as "Apology to the Stolen Generations". Just looked at the page now and confirmed your edit was correct and I've self-reverted my edit. TarnishedPathtalk 08:43, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help. :) 159.196.100.171 (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Moira Deeming page
I have previously tried to correct inaccuracies on the page relating to the above person. The changes were to correct inaccuracies. Almost the next day this changes were reversed. You have asked me to talk to you before changing anything else. So here goes. The first paragraph suggest she was at an "an anti-trans rally". This is not true. it was a rally in favour of biologically based sex rights. It further says Ne0Nazis attended this rally. They did not. It was a separate rally close to but not part of the rally Moira Deeming was attending. These factually inaccurate points are repeated in the Anti-Trans rally section of her Wikipedia entry. These entries slyly seek to suggest Ms. Deeming is in some way linked to Neo-Nazi groups. I would appreciate if these false claims were removed or I can remove them and you can then if you not allow these slurs to be repeated. Many thanks for your time. Clanrickard (talk) 10:54, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Clanrickard, I invited you to discuss the topic at Talk:Moira Deeming. That is the appropriate place for such a discussion to take place. However to answer your request, Wikipedia follows what reliable sources say. If you edit in the way that you suggest you are going to then I can guarantee that you will have people reverting you because what you plan on doing is contrary to what is conveyed in reliable sources. If you believe other editors and my reading of reliable sources is incorrect, please feel free to discuss it in the article's talk page. TarnishedPathtalk 11:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Untrue. The statement that Neo-Nazis attended the rally she was at has NO references backing it up which is required for a Wiki entry. At the very least if you are going to allow this to stay then I should be able include Deemings rebuttal that these Neo-Nazis had nothing to do with the rally she was attending. Clanrickard (talk) 11:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * There was only one rally, which the neo-nazis attended. The reliable sources do not reference multiple rallies like your edits claimed. Now again if you think other editors and myself are misinterpreting the sources, the article's talk page found at Talk:Moira Deeming is the appropriate forum to discuss it as it could be anyone who will revert you if you make the changes that you suggest you will. I've already called your attention to the article's talk page previously so I heavily suggest you take any content discussions there. TarnishedPathtalk 12:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I have done so. And no these Neo-Nazis were not at the same rally. This is a wilful misinterpretation of the facts. I have put up a post in the Talk page so hopefully my suggestions will be taken on board. Clanrickard (talk) 16:27, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

WP:OUTING
You may want to revise your links and comments about the photographer on the ET article, to be careful not to be afoul of WP:OUTING. VQuakr (talk) 23:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @VQuakr, thanks for the advice. Does this apply given that there username is their real name? TarnishedPathtalk 23:35, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I'm not sure. Caution is advised because that policy and the related items that the section links are taken very seriously, but at the same time I tried to phrase my post above in a way that made clear I understood that harassment isn't your intent here. As I noted in my reply in the article talk page, the suggestion that the photo creator's affiliation or political views somehow makes the photo unusable, is not correct. So there isn't a great reason to be including those links at all. VQuakr (talk) 23:43, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah I get you. I did read an exception in that policy about where an editor has identified themselves but I've removed the links that were there out of caution anyway. TarnishedPathtalk 23:47, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @VQuakr. I disagree with your assertion that "the photo creator's affiliation or political views" should not factor into an image's usability. In isolation I would agree that a user's affiliation or political views should have no bearing on their editing; but in this case, since usability arguments regarding the image involve COI and non-neutrality facets, these facts about the uploader are not only appropriate to include in the discussion but practically necessary for establishing those things. In fact almost all COI of interest editing revolves around the user's affiliations virtually by definition of what a COI is. If I work at Kraft foods, it's a COI of interest to edit the Kraft articles. If I am the head of the Democratic National Committee, it'd be a conflict to edit political articles about Democrats and Republicans. etc. Why? Because of my affiliations. This case is no different than that. Jason Quinn (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware that evidence has been presented that anyone affiliated with the subject has substantially edited the article. Regardless, working for Kraft and being head of the DNC are false equivalences since I believe the concern TP noted was that the original image author/copyright holder is right wing, not affiliated with the org. VQuakr (talk) 00:57, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * They appear to be something more than "right wing". Online searches for commons:User:Peterdukephoto indicate that they most likely have close ties to the subject and promote MAGA. TarnishedPathtalk 01:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Or he just knows how to make a buck off of the Right, but yes, people with right-wing views may promote MAGA. Frankly I'm not seeing any evidence from a web search that they are affiliated with PB or any other org. But again, even if they were they still haven't substantially edited the article. To continue the Kraft analogy: if Kraft freely licenses a nice-looking, professionally-produced photo of some mac and cheese, we're not going to avoid using it just because it's by Kraft.

Invitation

 * Hello, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Warning of WP:3RR violation on the Nick McKenzie article
Hello @TarnishedPath. You have currently done 3 reversions on the Nick McKenzie article. Another one within 24 hours will put you in violation of the WP:3RR rule. Furthermore, you did not receive a consensus to make the edit in the first place. Please do not perform another reversion. Mkstokes (talk) 11:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mkstokes. Please learn how to count. I've only performed 2 reverts in the last 24 hours. Now please withdraw your patently incorrect statement. TarnishedPathtalk 11:22, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't say you performed 3 reversions in the last 24 hours. Your reading comprehension skills here and on reading reliable source material have been noted several times. Please don't put words into my mouth. I said you've done 3 reversions. That is not "patently incorrect." WP:3RR also includes those using the 24-hour rule to game the system. Note that "The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times." Mkstokes (talk) 12:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * To violate WP:3RR an editor needs to revert more than 3 times within 24 hours. I suggest you read the policy. As I've only reverted 2 times in the last 24 hours you placing a warning of WP:3RR on my talk page is incorrect. Now please at least read policies before leaving messages on people's user page's which refer to them. Tarnis<b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 12:15, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I did read the policy in detail. It says, in part, "Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period will usually also be considered edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior." You have 2 inside and 1 just outside the 24-hour window. I would surmise that is why the Nick McKenzie article hasn't been reverted since my last reversion. Please don't be obtuse. It doesn't suit you by half. Mkstokes (talk) 12:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Learn to count. The 1 you refer to is not just outside the 24-hour window. It is a number of hours outside the 24 hour window. Now, you have no justification for warning someone about WP:3RR when they have only reverted 2 times in the last 24 hours. Now go away. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:02, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi TarnishedPath. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion.

Sexual assault denials
I was going to respond on the article but I respect your perspective so I brought it here. I'm curious what you think about my question. The Assassination of John F. Kennedy is a featured article so it's a worth topic of WP:OTHERCONTENT. There are a plethora of reliable sources covering Lee Harvey Oswald's denial that he shot JFK, but it's not mentioned in the lead. Do you think that's talking the official POV of the US government? Don't you see how it's false balance to elevate Harvey's denial? There's no real logical debate the assaults in Israel happened or who caused them. Hamas' denial is in the article. I'm perplexed at the idea that not mentioning it in the lead is taking the POV of Israel. Do you think this is POV is politically motivated? Nemov (talk) 13:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I think it comes down to a question of creditability. I would put the creditability of Hamas's denial a bit above that of Oswald's, while noting that the lede is not confined to one paragraph and that the RfC in question doesn't specify where in the lede the denial would be placed. Currently it is in the last sentence of the first paragraph, however further discussion might clarify that it should be somewhere else in the lede.
 * I think all too often in this current and past conflicts in the PIA area creditability is given to Israel, and any Palestinian/Arab militants are discredited by default and this is not always warranted and is a POV. Already during the current hostilities Israel has been shown to have lied on the number Israeli civilian casualties and been ordered by the ICJ to stop engaging in genocide (how to say they're engaging in genocide, without saying they're engaging in genocide) and yet Western media and by extension Wikipedia editors are all to happy continuing on with this narrative that Israel has creditability by default and the other side doesn't. I think a slightly more critical attitude, i.e a NPOV is called for. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 02:19, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not getting in the weeds on credibility of two sides of af conflict. However, no reasonable person is denying these abuses happened. Just like no reasonable person denies JFK was killed. There's still a lot of people who don't think Oswald did it. The US government has lied a lot over the history of the US. We go by reliable sources and not "what I think about Western media." When you start down that road you sound like someone attempting to correct a great wrong.
 * It's disappointing, but most of your response reads like someone who can't see this from a NPOV and I was hoping that wasn't the case. Happy editing. Nemov (talk) 13:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no interest in major rewrites of PIA articles to tell a completely different narrative or RGWs. I see others getting involved in that and I'm not interested. I edit much more on BLPs/politics than I do PIA content. When I do edit around PIA it's usually more likely to be a RfC (lately anyway) and I don't fool myself in thinking my !vote is going to change the world. I'm not seeing the possibility of putting a Hamas denial towards the end of the lede for example as being FALSEBALANCE issue like I would as putting stuff promoting the COVID lab-leak anywhere into the lede of the COVID-19 lab leak theory article. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Warning of Concerns Regarding "Bad faith" Adminship
Hello! This message is being sent to warn you about your renewed campaign against Mkstokes. As you were previously warned by Ivanvector, "But please don't harass editors even if they are sanctioned, unless you want to see your names beside logged interaction bans at WP:AELOG." You provided | feedback that information should be excluded from the Fani Willis article per WP:BLP. When | corrected regarding your understanding of that policy, you erroneously called that a "personal attack." When | corrected regarding what Wikipedia designates as a personal attack and | politely asked to validate your reading of the WP:BLP policy, you used your administrator privileges to suppressed the conversation. This is the only warning. Per WP:ADMINCOND: <ul>Administrators should lead by example and, like all editors, should behave in a respectful, civil manner in their interactions with others. Administrators should follow Wikipedia policies and perform their duties to the best of their abilities. Occasional mistakes are entirely compatible with adminship; administrators are not expected to be perfect. However, sustained or serious disruption of Wikipedia through behavior such as incivility or bad faith editing is incompatible with the expectations and responsibilities of administrators, and consistent or egregious poor judgment may result in the removal of administrator tools. Administrators should strive to model appropriate standards of courtesy and civility to other editors. Administrators should bear in mind that they have hundreds of colleagues. Therefore, if an administrator cannot adhere to site policies and remain civil (even toward users exhibiting problematic behavior) while addressing a given issue, then the administrator should bring the issue to a noticeboard or refer it to another administrator to address, rather than potentially compound the problem with poor conduct.</ul>

Furthermore, as per WP:ADMINACCT: <ul>Administrators are accountable for their actions involving administrator tools, as unexplained administrator actions can demoralize other editors who lack such tools. Subject only to the bounds of civility, avoiding personal attacks, and reasonable good faith, editors are free to question or to criticize administrator actions. Administrators are expected to respond promptly and civilly to queries about their Wikipedia-related conduct and administrative actions, especially during community discussions on noticeboards or during Arbitration Committee proceedings. Administrators should justify their actions when requested. Administrators who seriously or repeatedly act in a problematic manner, or who have lost the trust or confidence of the community, may be sanctioned or have their administrator rights removed by the Arbitration Committee.</ul>

Your action to suppress honest, reasonable, and cogent arguments rather than providing a reasonable response to them is unbecoming of your position. Further actions in this regard will immediately be reported to the appropriate process for adjudication, starting with Administrative action review. Mkstokes (talk) 13:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Mkstokes, you need to undo this immediately. This is your only warning. I'm going to be extremely charitable and suggest if you remove this whole conversation that I'll act like it didn't happen, because I'm going to suggest this doesn't look good for you. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your extreme charity. It is noted. I stand by my assessment. As noted "...editors are free to question or to criticize administrator actions. Administrators are expected to respond promptly and civilly to queries..." I did so and you not only didn't respond appropriately, you made an unfounded accusation and then acted to suppress my comments. Another administrator had to step in and | reverse your suppression/closing of the discuss because you are NOT an "uninvolved editor." Now, you are threatening me to remove my warning by suggesting this doesn't look good for me? No, I will not be intimidated and will trust the process, come what may. Mkstokes (talk) 14:03, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

You are not even an administrator 🤣 per information provided here and per the Wikipedia:List of administrators. You have my permission to delete these comments from your page, bless your heart. Mkstokes (talk) 16:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Daivd Lammy RfC summary help
Hello, could you help with closing the RfD on David Lammy talk page and summarising because it seems there's a consensus on a change to British politician but I do not want to make a mistake and have bever done this before. Erzan (talk) 03:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @Erzan, RfCs generally go for 30 days unless there is an complete landslide (WP:SNOW). I suggest waiting until then and then if you want a independent closer you can try WP:CR. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 05:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Heads up
CVDX already had the AP2 notification in 2019; they do seem a tiny bit like they're looking for a fight and might respond poorly to being overly-templated.

 * I missed that. I looked at their user talk history and didn't see it. I learnt from a recent experience with another editor that I should leave CTOP notices early so that if action is required I don't have to wait for diffs after I've left a CTOP notice later than I should have.

Archive links for live URLs
Please don't add them to talk pages, especially comments that are not your own. Doing it to articles is already seen by many as a dubious practice (and banned from the Donald Trump and Steele dossier articles) as it just adds bloat and makes large articles much larger. That creates accessibility issues for many readers. Doing it to other's comments on talk pages is not justified. Doing it to dead URLs is very welcome, and no one every complains about that. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 15:00, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

The second I saw UAE, knowing BRS is one of the articles that editor repeatedly goes back to, I knew it was them.

In the article on Chloe Lewis (figure skater) reference name "Oregonian140214" meant newspaper=Oregonian, date=14 Feb 2014. That is more useful/unique than "Schnell-2014", which meant author=Schnell, date=2014. -- Toddy1 (talk) 05:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Criminal parameters at Donald Trump
Hello. I recently reverted the inclusion of the criminal parameters in Trump's infobox citing legitimate policy concerns. As of now, this happened less than 24 hours ago. You reinstated them without consensus soon after.This amounts to tag teaming and distorts the consensus building process. Also, violates the spirit of the arbitration restriction to follow the BRD cycle set for the Trump article. It would be a courtesy to respect the process and revert your reinstatement. <b style="color: #E2062C ;"> Iamreallygoodatcheckers</b><b style="color: #000000;"> talk</b> 15:41, 31 May 2024 (UTC)


 * If you're going to accuse me of WP:MEATPUPPET, I suggest you provide specific evidence that I'm coordinating with other editors off-wiki. Otherwise I suggest you strike your ridiculous accusations. Note: there has been obvious consensus formed at Talk:Donald_Trump for the inclusion of the material in the infobox. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:58, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Somebody added these parameters and I appropriately reverted them within policy and guideline. You then reinstated them without consensus (you can't cite an unclosed, one-day old RfC as consensus for anything). This created an edit war situation where I couldn't revert what you reinstated but you also technically avoided breaking the BRD restriction because you didn't originally add the parameters, someone else did. That's what I meant by saying it was a form of tag teaming in this context, but if there is a different understanding of it I will strike the accusation. Either way what happened was disruptive. <b style="color: #E2062C ;"> Iamreallygoodatcheckers</b><b style="color: #000000;"> talk</b> 16:20, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Iamreallygoodatcheckers, per WP:TAGTEAM: "Tag teaming (sometimes also called an editorial camp or gang, factionalism, or a travelling circus) is a controversial form of meatpuppetry in which editors coordinate their actions to circumvent the normal process of consensus". <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 16:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * While I'm pretty sure I've seen the use of "tag team" to describe what has occurred here before, I will strike it because I don't believe it was coordinated in any meaningful way. But, I will reiterate what occurred was disruptive. It's all resolved now anyway. <b style="color: #E2062C ;"> Iamreallygoodatcheckers</b><b style="color: #000000;"> talk</b> 20:35, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Iamreallygoodatcheckers, my single revert was no more disruptive than yours or anyone else's single revert. I really don't see what the need was for you to come to my talk page, rather than just discussing it in the article itself. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 03:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It is because your revert was a violation of BRD by reinstating major content changes with no consensus that had been challenged, and I had put in my edit summary not to add back without consensus. These things cannot be said about my revert. <b style="color: #E2062C ;"> Iamreallygoodatcheckers</b><b style="color: #000000;"> talk</b> 10:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * My revert was within what is specified by the Active Arbitration Remedies notice. Again my single revert was no more disruptive than yours or anyone else's. If I put a note in my edit summary for others after me to not revert my change would that have made a substantive difference to my edit? The answer is no and neither did it to yours. Again, I'm not sure what inspired you to come here which was unable to be dealt with through normal conversation on the article's talk page. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 10:36, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

RfC assistance
Hello again and thank you for the earlier advice for the RfC on Hayes Barnard Talk page. Based on the consensus, would you agree that it would be a sufficient time to close the RfC? No responses since May 17, and have received 4 'No' votes in total. I see the WP:CR and am considering this as next steps or if I should wait out the full 30 days. Thank you in advance on any advice you have for me. JesseGoodLeap (talk) 03:15, 5 June 2024 (UTC)


 * @JesseGoodLeap, it’s been going for 23 days at present? I can’t tell for certain because I’m overseas away from my home, away from my PC, and only have my iPad and phone. I’d say there’s no harm in letting it go another 7 days, as it doesn’t appear that editors in other threads have contributed. I don’t think those discussions demonstrated a solid policy basis on behalf of those other editors but I think you should leave it at least until the RfC tag expires given the previous contention. When the RfC tag does expire, if all the !votes are still unanimously no, don’t take it to WP:CR because you’ll most likely be told to do it yourself. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 13:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

 * @100.36.106.199, I don't know how I ended up inserting that sentence at the top of the page.

Someone else will close with pretty much the same reasoning I gave. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 14:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * FYI, and speaking only for myself, I don't really want to work here with anyone who spends time participating in public off-wiki forums shit-talking about editors. If you got something to publicly say about someone else here, say it here, or else say it in private. What really irks me, more than the public-but-off-wiki shit-talking, is people who do that, and then come on-wiki and close threads, propose sanctions, vote on stuff, etc. Publicly gossiping about people on websites is crass. Wikipedia editors aren't like celebrities or public figures where it might be crass but at least tolerable to engage in gossip. Why would you participate in a public forum where people are shit-talking other volunteers here? I don't get it, and I wish you would stop. I think less of you because of your participation there, and I really do hope you stop. Levivich (talk) 15:08, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Levivich, you really need to fucking drop the WP:ABF about everyone that has a WPO account. I have all of 12 comments there and I haven't talked shit about other people, nor do I intend to. I only created an account so that I could look up the comments of other users, otherwise I would have browsed without an account whenever someone referenced something there. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Levivich FYI, but I'm sure you're already aware, the sub-thread was closed by another editor at Special:Diff/1234096504 with exactly the same reasoning I gave. What exactly was the point of your revert? <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You have posted in the WPO thread dedicated to talking trash about Lightburst. It's not ABF, it's holding you accountable for what you actually wrote and where you wrote it, I'm not assuming anything, I'm reading what you're actually writing (and where you're writing it) and responding to that. You're simultaneously proposing sanctions and closing threads. Not cool. Please do not participate in public off-wiki trash-talking of other editors, or at least if you're going to do that, stay away from those editors on-wiki. Levivich (talk) 15:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Nothing you write displays anything other than a blind dislike of anyone who has a WPO account. You've not provided any evidence of me talking shit about anyone and just assume because I've casually written all of 12 comments that I must be part of some homogenous group. Pat yourself on the back. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm criticizing you for participating in a thread that is dedicated to trash talking an editor. Do you understand this? Not for participating in WPO, but for that one particular thread. Levivich (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You criticising me participating in a thread without criticising the content of my actual words is ludicrous. Do you understand that? What's even more ludicrous is you reverting closes that I made on that basis, when they have been and will be closed by other editors with exactly the same reasoning. Do you understand that? <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:48, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No, it's not ludicrous. By analogy, one cannot hang out in a skinhead bar and say, "But I've never said anything racist!" I'm criticizing you for the online company you keep, for palling around in a thread dedicated to trash-talking one of your fellow editors, even if you haven't done the trash talking. But what you have done is try to put your thumb on the scale by participating in that thread, and then making proposals for sanctions here, and voting on other sanctions... and even closing threads. You are absolutely a participant in the harassment of Lightburst that originates on WPO, even if you haven't written anything negative about LB on WPO. You are helping to effectuate the will of your fellow WPO forum-dwellers on this website. It doesn't matter that the thread was closed by other editors with the same reason (obviously, both the threads you closed were going to be closed for the same reasoning). What matters is that someone hanging out in the trash-talking forum, and making the proposals to sanction the editor who is being trash-talked, should not also close the threads in the same discussion. As the saying goes, it's not just about the end result, it's not just about actual impartiality, it's about the appearance of impartiality. Levivich (talk) 15:53, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, I'm a skinhead now. You really should strike most the dribble you've typed. <b style="color:#ff0000;">Tar</b><b style="color:#ff7070;">nis</b><b style="color:#ffa0a0;">hed</b><b style="color:#420000;">Path</b><b style="color:#bd4004;">talk</b> 15:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm with User:Levivich on this one. User:TarnishedPath, I would re-read through WP:NAC, particularly point #1 of the "inappropriate closures" section. — <span style="background:#1F6295;color:white;padding:1q 5q;border-radius:10q;font-family:Franklin Gothic, Verdana">AP 499D25  (talk)  02:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
