Please properly discuss in talk page of article instead of edit warringI am concerned that you refuse to properly discuss the contentious material about Tudor Dixon that you reincorporated. I had questioned and challenged said info for being inaccurate and I tried to reword it in a more neutral way. In addition, you also seemingly ignored the arbitration ruling that I included in the edit summary of my edit removing said challenged contentious information. Said ruling states,
According to WP:CONSENSUS,
According to WP:EDITWAR,
You mentioned an unspecified editor in the edit summary of your revert. In the talk page of the article, in the relevant thread (titled "Restoration of contentious info in place of neutral language ") the only other editor is the ip user, who actually stated, "Why not quote what she actually said/believes, that: 'Liberal policymakers are pushing COVID-19 vaccines on our children and forcing parents out of the process'". Finally, I see the sheer quantity of the edits you have and your permissions. Surely one would expect that an editor with said characteristics would seek more proper discussion instead of seemingly ignoring Wikipedia guidance and unilaterally reverting others edits while refusing to properly discuss.

Autopatrolled granted Hi FormalDude, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers. Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! TheSandDoctor Talk 19:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC) Women in Red December 2022

Question from Qfaceae (19:03, 24 January 2023)Hi there FormalDude, Thanks for taking time out of your day and offering to help out. I usually end up editing Wikipedia pages that I stumble upon in my day to day life, with info that's out of date. For example, yesterday I was looking at the List of plants that are extinct in the wild page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_plants_that_are_extinct_in_the_wild) and noticed that it hadn't been updated since 2016. After some wrangling I got the datasheet from IUCN, the original source, and found an additional 7 species classified as extinct in the wild. My question is this... I can easily add seven species manually on this one page, and keep the formatting all the same, etc. But the template on the side has its own page and, of course, links to other similar pages with many more species- Endangered Species numbered 3,654 in 2016, and now over 10,000 endangered species have been identified. I want to update the template, but I realize this would change the template's data for the Endangered, extinct, etc pages. And I don't think it's sensible to manually enter tens of thousands of species that have been added since the page was edited in 2016. All this to say that I went into this page trying to make a few small updates, and ended up realizing that a web of pages is significantly outdated, and I don't feel like it's a task meant for the hands of one human- are there scraping tools I'm missing, or anything similar, for getting this data onto Wikipedia en masse? Advice greatly welcomed. Cheers, Qfaceae --Qfaceae (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Talk:Andy_Ogles BLPGreetings, the discussion is still ongoing, since the outcome was `no consensus`, and according to WP:NOCONSENSUS and WP:STATUSQUO for BLPs, the guidelines suggest In discussions related to living people, a lack of consensus often results in the removal of the contentious matter, regardless of whether the proposal was to add, modify, or remove it., and If you are having a dispute about whether to include it, the material is automatically contentious. should that guide the outcome of this decision so that the controversial matter may be put to rest? It's worth noting that the editors on the other side have made multiple edits to other politicians labeling them `far-right`, which seems highly suspicious to me, and could be considered biased editing. Looking forward to your feedback. Kcmastrpc (talk) 01:21, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

I've tasked myself with documenting the regulatory process of Formula One. A sport which I enjoy to watch but also one in a far from transparent universe governed by quite some non-disclosed documents involving commercial parties. This comes with some challenges regarding references. Several claims I would like to make can only be substantiated by on-line references on sites which require a (free or paid) subscription, or by hearsay information published by editors on specialized platforms (which they cannot formally substantiate as they get their information from their own trusted sources). Is there a Wikipedia policy which outlines what to do in such situations? --KristelNL (talk) 08:29, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

ANIHi, most ANI threads don't actually need closure. If you are going to close any, please make sure you don't don't close them prematurely. For example, a block of an established editor will often be contested by the blocked editor so it's appropriate to leave the thread open for a block review. But considering ANI is already the second-most edited page on the entire wiki, it's better not to make meta edits unless they're really necessary.

Speedy deletion nomination of Trumpisms
A tag has been placed on Trumpisms requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trumpisms. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Improper closure on Talk:Florida Parental Rights in Education ActI suggest you withdraw this closure.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here. WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers. Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script. You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest. Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

I disclosed a conflict of interest and proposed an infobox for the Lenovo PCCW Solutions sub-section of the PCCW page. You can see my request here. I was hoping you might be willing to review my request to add an infobox as an impartial editor under Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules. Thanks in advance if you have a minute to take a look.

DYK for The Melodic BlueOn 15 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Melodic Blue, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a verse by Kendrick Lamar for The Melodic Blue was leaked before the album's release and went viral as an Internet meme? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Melodic Blue. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Melodic Blue), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

US Politics Page Looking for ReviewHey @FormalDude! Myself and some others are trying to expand info about the major candidates in our Congressional district (MD-06), (I know some other prominent authors like @Y2hyaXM have taken up the effort to expand pages on Maryland politics as well so tagging for interest). Particularly, a new one had to be created for Hagerstown Mayor Tekesha Martinez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tekesha_Martinez, I'm personally unfamiliar with the new page review process so I wasn't sure if you had any suggestions to help it along. Thank you! 24.49.33.119 (talk) 03:58, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Paul Prestopino draft articleHi there FormalDude. You recently moved the article on Paul Prestopino to draft space due to its not yet being well enough documented, and I've added some things to it. It's not ready for prime time yet, but it's still fairly short. Would you be able to guide me on what it's main weakness is before I try to get it reviewed? I've left a message on the draft article's Talk page also. You are welcome just to correct or remove words in the article as needed, or remove parts that don't work, or add the template for "reference needed" (I know there is such a template but can't remember what it is). Any help you can supply will be much appreciated. I understand the need to careful vetting of new articles, as it's such a bad world with many people attempting to do self-promotion and exaggerating and the like. In particular, much of the "proof" for claims about Prestopino can best be garnered by a Google search, a YouTube search, or a Google image search, as well as the fact that his name already appears in 69 (I counted) Wikipedia articles, mostly as a redlink. Best regards, and I understand if you don't have the time to help out. Harborsparrow (talk) 17:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Checking in@FormalDude: Hello. Hope all is well with you. My availability to edit Wikipedia has been more sporadic of late. But I just wanted to drop a line to say hello and to note that I appreciate the work you've continued to do on revised guidelines and policies for articles about the Church. I've fully intended to be more involved with that, but have had a few rough months health--wise. Please keep up the great work, and let me know if I can contribute to the relevant discussions in any way. Thanks again. Jgstokes (talk) 06:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Going back on your wordWith this edit, you said you were going to be "Stepping away" from the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 2024 presidential campaign article. I see you have resumed editing. You are doing the exact opposite of what you said you would do at ANI. I consider this a sanctionable action, due to the fact I believe that in that ANI, you knew you were in danger of recieving formal sanctions. A boomerang, so-to-speak. And if not sanctions, your actions were going to be thoroughly criticized for about a week. You "headed that off at the pass", I believe, by issuing a lame apology and saying you were going to "step away". I will ask that you revert your edit and keep your word. Miner Editor (talk) 20:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC) If you don't, I will take you to ANI and move that you be blocked from eding articles related to American politics. You are clearly emotionally unfit to be editing such articles. Miner Editor (talk) 21:01, 13 August 2023 (UTC) I have re-opened my ANI case, sort of. Consider yourself pinged.

New message from Shearonink
PragerU closure Moved from User talk:Jc37Your closure of the RfC at PragerU seems a bit confusing. The RfC was not about simply whether or not to add text, as your closure seems to imply. It was to decide whether existing text should be reworded or removed. Honestly it's a bit troubling that you closed it without seeming to realize that. Not to mention you barely wrote a sentence of explanation for a discussion that had 146 comments from 45 different editors. ––FormalDude (talk) 04:46, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
RfCNever ever change my words ever again. If you had an issue with the wording it should be discussed. You're not the arbitrator of neutrality. Nemov (talk) 21:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC) |
