No further edits should be made to this discussion.  Hi Galendalia. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2020-05-31. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 19:13, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

The Sky is PinkThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.  ResolvedHey there, I'm an administrator on the English Wikipedia. Look, I know you recently jumped into Guild of Copy Editors and I know you might've gotten burnt, from your perspective, but I want to encourage you to try again. I don't think that your efforts were made in bad faith, but with regard to the article The Sky is Pink, I think there were some hasty changes that should be addressed and I'm hoping you'll let me explain them to you, and I will do my best to not be condescending. I initially raised the matter with Puddleglum and my hope was that since they were your initial greeting contact, that maybe the feedback would have been better received from them, rather than from me, a stranger. I'm happy to explain my notes, but I don't want to burden you with unwanted criticism, so if or when you're ready, please feel free to {{ping}} me or of course you don't have to at all. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:41, 5 May 2020 (UTC) @Cyphoidbomb: Hi I appreciate your efforts. Puddle had explained them to me but then the individuals within the guild made those statements which made and still make me unwanted. While I will do my best to fight vandalism, they and those individuals involved have a burnt a bridge that may never be repaired. I do appreciate you reaching out though.

@Puddleglum2.0: I will come back if Jonesy stops the personal attacks against me and other new users. Even the other new guild editor took his comments personally based on their comments. GalendaliaChat Me Up 20:06, 5 May 2020 (UTC) Im new here but to me it seemed like you were a good copy editor. I’m sorry about this turn of events.

US Presidents' Nicknames editThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. Hello Galendalia, I actually feel that the content I attempted to remove was "less than neutral". The article is a list of nicknames in "common usage at the time they were in office or shortly thereafter". As I mentioned in my edit summary, the fact that several journalists may have used these nicknames isn't what is meant by the phrase "common usage". I have never heard Trump referred to by these nicknames in conversations with live people. I removed them because they obviously do not fit the article's own characterization of itself, and I'm curious as to how that could possibly seem "less than neutral" to you. Please reconsider your decision or redefine the terms of the article. Thank you 2601:445:37F:8A10:15C2:192E:EF1D:B373 (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

BasilicaThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The only reason the article read that way at that point in time is because GPinkerton had modified it from its original form. He had split off the Catholic basilica section without consensus and erased them from the main article. I am amazed that you would take his word at face value instead of attempt to resolve the dispute. Elizium23 (talk) 21:43, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi – we had spoken on the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard regarding the Ahmaud Arbery page. I was wondering if I could ask your general advice. – Chrisvacc (talk) 02:38, 13 May 2020 (UTC) It depends on what it is. If it has anything to do with the DR then no because it has to be restricted to the board. If it is outside of that realm and what the dispute was about then have at it!

But if you wish to vanish, it is understood that you will not return, and if you do return, your account may need to be re-activated or it could be viewed as sockpuppetry.

No this has to do with the way in which admins are treating me from day one when I asked questions in the chat and having been spoken to rudely, then booted out and that just compounded from there and that just seems the norm. I have better things to do than be a victim of the cliques of admins on here that think they are the know-all and they have the final say. I have nothing more to say. I have filled out the form for the stewards. It had nothing to do with the DRN, however, it had to do with the comments people made about me being a part of it and attacking me. I am not here for that. Cheers and best of luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.73.181 (talk) 00:29, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Dispute Resolution: Rachel ReevesThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. Copied to Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Comment_from_another_volunteer's_User_page by user PoliceSheep99 Rachel Reeves was appointed as Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster to shadow Michael Gove who is the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Second Johnson ministry. Gove also holds the role of Minister for the Cabinet Office - this is not disputed. Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is a new shadow cabinet position created this year by the new Labour Party leader Keir Starmer. However, the duties of this role were performed by Jon Trickett as Shadow Lord President of the Council. Trickett also held the position of Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office - again, looking at the talk page for Reeves, this seems not to be disputed. As the functions of the role Trickett held are almost identical to that of Reeves, it seems to me that his page can be used as precedent to also include Reeves' position of Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office in the infobox. Hope this helps. PoliceSheep99 (talk) 03:00, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service for one or both of the Good Article nomination categories "Arts" and "Everyday life".

In that process, the subscription categories have been updated to match the current categories used by the Good Articles project, and neither "Arts" nor "Everyday life" is used anymore.

Who's gonna take care of the revived project now?! Galendalia, take a look at Wikipedia:Rage quit or some of the pages linked there to put things in perspective. Declaring retirement in light of a conflict is a dime a dozen and I bet you'll come back like most of them—because you clearly care about the project. Nobody's really accusing you of bad faith; that's good.

Spoken Article ReviewHi there, I'm interested as to while you failed Ovinus Real's recordings. I couldn't find your review anywhere, and, when I checked, the recording seemed completely fine. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 08:24, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
Spoken Wikipedia mandatory review processHi Galendalia, first of all, thank you very much for reviving WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia. I am concerned about the unilateral attempt to introduce a review process in Special:Diff/959783323, with yourself as the "lead coordinator" "promoting" "authorized reviewers" in "rank"s (Special:Diff/959785326, Special:Diff/959787788), stating that the "list will grow as [you] get to know people". This is not how Wikipedia works; please have a look at the five pillars and the policy against ownership of content. The attempted introduction of "ranks" makes it hard to interpret this as a misunderstanding; it really seems to have been done with an underlying philosophy that is likely to be strongly opposed if brought to a proper Wikipedia-wide discussion at a village pump. If an audio file was boldly added to an article, but is bad, do feel free to remove it: That's what WP:BRD has been proven to work for, not limited to audio files. To make it easy to review all audio files added to the wiki, an edit filter might be worth an idea, for automatically tagging audio file additions. This requires no authorization and can easily be done like any other kind of recent changes patrolling. Best regards,
(talk page watcher)To be honest @Galendalia: I was a bit confused when you appointed me as a reviewer. I had already reviewed a couple dozen audio files and plenty of other users were reviewing as well. I don't think personally appointing reviewers is the best course of action for a project that is meant to be freely editable and open. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 08:30, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
ConductI had hoped, when I closed the ANI discussion concerning you, that you would have taken onboard the concerns of many other editors, as you intimated. I was therefore surprised and concerned to see your response to Ponyo in this edit. Administrators routinely come across editors that cause them concern, and will leave a message suggesting improvements or changes in their conduct that it is hoped that they would take on-board. Ponyo was simply communicating with you some concerns about your conduct, similar concerns others have expressed. We can all see that you're keen and want to contribute to the project, but as much as we enjoy having enthusiastic new editors join, if their behaviour is sufficiently egregious to cause existing editors to leave or downscale their contributions, we are left with a user who is sadly a net negative. That's an area you are in very real danger of entering with your behaviour on the Spoken Wikipedia WikiProject, as much as we all appreciate the project being revitalised, if your behaviour deters people from contributing, we would rather it remains mothballed. I'm also rather curious as to how someone who (as far as I can tell) hasn't contributed a single Spoken Wikipedia recording, believes themselves to be an appropriate person to co-ordinate the project ?

Definition of HindutvaHi, with all due respect, the first person to term 'Hindutva' was Savarkar. Just because some people believe it to be 'fascist' without reading the book or worse, without understanding it, they've thought it to be 'fascist' in nature, they're entitled to think of it in a particular manner but they do not have the right to make other people misinterpret the actual meaning of the word. If you've read the book, it talks of harmony and celebration of difference and common love for fatherland and Savarkar does not think of 'Hindu' in a religious manner but a geographical term and goes to the extent of interchanging it with 'Sindhu'. He was an outright atheist which further backs it up. I have no issues with anybody personally but i do not wish for people to misinterpret the beautiful idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Not Sherlock (talk • contribs) 19:43, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Archiving Talk:World language discussionsHi Galendalia, a moment ago you added an archiving template to Talk:World language. Do you know how to delay archiving the discussions Talk:World language#Spanish language map and Talk:World language#Spanish Language Map that I linked to from Talk:World language#Semi-protected edit request on 6 June 2020 today? Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 18:19, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Nominating a regular-looking user page for G11This wasn't appropriate. I have removed the speedy. If you objected to his web site being linked there, you should have said that on his user page. I really fail to see how any of it was advertising. Remember that ANI of a week or so ago where you said you would restrict your activities to things you know about? This might be an area that requires some restriction. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:12, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Galendalia, I noticed the speedy deletion template that you left on DLMcN's user page. It was inappropriate. I can see that you did it in good faith and didn't mean to be rude, but it was a mistake - a faux pas or gaffe - and you might want to consider apologizing to them for the upset it caused. You misinterpreted the section of the user page guidelines on personal and privacy-breaching material. Generally such material may be removed on request of the person whose privacy it concerns if they were the one who added it. You could politely inform a new user that using their real name, e-mail address, or website, might lead to privacy problems in the future, if it seems like they're not aware of that. But if someone chooses to do it anyway, it's not your place to interfere. I'm baffled as to how this led you to the idea that you should try to delete their user page for "blatant advertising or promotion"; in any case it was certainly not the right course of action. I saw that you also edited another user's user page yesterday: [1]. These edits surprise me because apparently the main complaint at a recent ANI report about you was "misunderstanding of our userpage guidelines which are pretty clear that "by convention others will not usually edit your user page itself, other than (rarely) to address significant concerns or place project-related tags"; and the first comment it received was "Short copyright problem, BLP problem or some sort of extreme polemic...do not alter user pages". I would suggest that you voluntarily refrain from editing anyone's user page in the near future; if you see a problem discuss it with the user on their talk page or consult an admin, as you are currently on very thin ice in this area. I'm also somewhat concerned by your reaction to ThatMontrealIP above, as there was no threat or anything inappropriate said. As a new user, if experienced editors tell you that you've made a mistake, please try to be open to the idea that, according to Occam's razor, the most likely explanation is that you've actually made a mistake, rather than assuming that they are attacking you for no particular reason, and attacking them back. Thanks for your understanding, and please let me know if there was something I wasn't clear about. --IamNotU (talk) 01:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Accidental rollbackI was looking at your contributions on my mobile device and intended to click on the diff button, the rollback option was directly below. A case of fat thumbs. I reverted back to the previous version. – 2.O.Boxing 12:33, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Comment Galendalia (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: You have blocked me for something in which not one single editor involved in any discussion has met any of these requirements as stated in WP:CIR in which you are claiming to have blocked me for.
Responding to suspected lack of competence - How many times was I called incompetent and told to find something else to do? Count all of them please then you will realize why I have been such an ass to certain people.
I am requesting (since I am blocked) that this go to arbitration since I cannot open the request myself and that no one involved in the discussion, nor the blocking admin review this request. This is a blatant misuse of Administrative powers in order to silence me from a dispute. Decline reason: I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

Galendalia Talk to me CVU Graduate 19:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC) June 2020 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: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Block CommentPrimefac one of the reasons I was blocked is because I edited a users page by correcting the COI. Well guess what, the policy on WP:COI states I can do this by stating Note that someone else may add this for you. The policy should be changed if you guys are going to block someone for this. I have every right to defend myself if someone else is accusing me of wrong doing when it is right in your own policies. Same with the speedy deletion in which I exactly quoted and was still told I misread it when it exactly states whether you or others put it there which has been my argument about all of this. But again, I was told I was incompetent on this and basically being told I can’t read English and I misinterpreted it. What is there in that statement to misinterpret? That was never explained because the admins can’t explain it, instead they want to elaborate on me being an ass and telling them to “fuck off” and “go to hell” and “I didn’t want their POV” as I wanted the POV from the admin who started this and he/she still never explained how I misinterpreted this statement. Instead admins piled up on me and are claiming I caused them to do more work. None of those two things needed to be undone as by policy I have every right as an editor to follow policy and a) report what I see (not investigate) and b) fix the COI code on someone’s page as they didn’t put it in properly and by policy I am allowed to do so. This went from my content editing being disruptive because they could not prove why they even took me to ANI based on these statements which I have maintained throughout the process to making it about what I said to others. No one seems to care about how I was talked to or how admins handled this with me but god forbid I stand up to admins and prove my point and since they had no proof that what I did on these 2 edits broke policy it turned into an admin pile on against me. My next step is going to be arbitration for the abuse of administrative powers to silence me and the way I’ve been treated since day one from certain individuals and since you’ve blocked me I’ll need to email this in. I will not apologize for my remarks until the admins and other editors involved in these discussions and accusations apologize to me for their behavior towards me. Add to that the templated response for denying my appeal to the block which doesn’t even address one single thing I brought up but instead puts all the blame on me. Yeah good try. Galendalia Talk to me CVU Graduate 00:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC) @Nick: also adding you since you closed the topic as Tony blocked me against your own policies in which he stated the diffs in the initial complaint were enough to warrant the block. Actually both of the items I performed are in the policies as something that I as an editor am allowed to do. See links above. Galendalia Talk to me CVU Graduate 00:23, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
@AntiCompositeNumber: I hear you. It’s not about just me though. It’s also about the admins and senior editors also needing to be held accountable for their actions. If I get attacked I’m attacking back. That’s me. I pointed out that I did follow policy in the two things listed in this ANI but not one person even looked into it and said “oh he is right, the policy does say that. It was AGF. Instead it was a pile up on me saying I’m incompetent amongst other things. Just like with the project. I didn’t create nor post the OMBoxes someone else did but yet I got blamed for creating them. I only created one which I accepted responsibility for and understood what they were saying and let it go. Yet the conversation ended up involving other editors who once again blamed me for doing it when an experienced editor created them and put it up of which I didn’t even ask for but instead of admins faithfully executing the who and the why, it was a pile up on me again. Just like everything else. Like I stated some users I’ve never had interactions with but when I’m in ANI they write 4 paragraphs on me but not once followed their own advice of pointing me in the right direction. It’s a common issue in this world with people in management. They want the title and pay but want everyone else to do the work. Granted to my knowledge no one gets paid in the admin group but I do not know that. I asked for the block to be reviewed with all evidence and that wasn’t even done. It was a quick glance and templated response. How is that fair to editors? I have backed off of everything and I mentioned numerous times and I mean numerous times in the first ANI about being the project coordinator for spoken. Not one single person said a word about it. The moment the ANI was closed I was getting pummeled (again) for going somewhere I had no business being and even one person made the comment to the effect of you haven’t even recorded one thing so how can you lead the project. It doesn’t matter if I have recorded anything or not. I do not like my voice. I never have. I don’t even like talking on the phone. Doesn’t mean I cannot effectively run a project especially considering I’m an IT Project Management Certified professional. I could have easily called that person out but I didn’t. I let it go. Matter of fact I don’t even think it was a full 48 hours after the first ANI that I was addressed by an admin for the project in which they never stated prior any objection and then they proceeded to state that I’m breaking my own promise of staying away from things. Boom! There it was. Yet another attack on me. I think I’ve said enough to get my point across. I’m going to start working on the email and the list of names for submission. Thank you though Anti for always being helpful and helping me out when I’ve asked you questions. That was appreciated. @ThatMontrealIP: my apologies for saying you were an admin as you do come off as one. However the rest still stands as I was correct in what I did and I pointed that out to you on my talk page but instead of apologizing to me you accused me of misinterpreting a statement which very, very clearly states I can do that as an editor and instead of saying anything else you kept defending your statement instead of seeing what I wrote then took me to ANI with the subject of “Galendalia, Again” that is what pushed me over the edge. Plus the fact you didn’t notify me made it even worse. Galendalia Talk to me CVU Graduate 01:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
I received a short block (a justifiable one) when I first began editing and had my unblock request accepted within a few hours, so I’ll give you some first hand advice. If you want an unblock request to be accepted, you firstly need to understand the reason of your block, so taking ThatMontrealIP's advice would be wise; politely ask an admin for the exact reasons for your block. Acknowledge and understand the reasons, take full responsibility for your actions and make it clear that you will not engage in whatever actions lead to the block. Explain what steps you’ll take to avoid those same actions and how you’ll handle any similar incidents in the future. Anything else other than that will likely be met with a standard template or something along the lines of "I’m not satisfied with your request, declined." As ThatMontrealIP said, arbcom probably won’t entertain your case, so it would be a waste of time. Just to clarify, I’m not pointing fingers and saying you’re in the wrong, but trying to get your point across in the manner you currently are will not lead to a positive outcome. I hope this helps. – 2.O.Boxing 01:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC) ArchivingThe following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
