Clarification request closedThe Noleander clarification request, in which you were listed as an involved editor, has been closed and archived. The request was related to that case's principle 9, which states:
Among the participating Arbitrators, there was a rough consensus that this principle remains true with current policies and guidelines and that there is not an exemption from this principle for asserting that an editor has a conflict of interest.

Image of the Disney character CinderellaIt's just that the image of the Disney character Cinderella that ya uploaded is a screenshot yet it isn't promotional artwork at all. I mean it. Esagurton (talk) 12:00, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Big FishHello again! Just a quick note about this edit. Since "Siamese twins" is a popular (yet becoming archaic) term for conjoined twins, I always assumed that's the way Edward was using it. For better or for worse, people use "Siamese twins" without any intention of describing the geographic origin of the individuals. I haven't seen the film in awhile, so I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure Edward wasn't thinking about the nationality of Ping and Jing. Please let me know your thoughts :) Wafflewombat (talk) 16:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Please understand. It's not a a photoshopped promotional artwork image of Cinderella like the other lead images of the Disney Princess articles of Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana and Raya.

All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updatesYou are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective. Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC).

RoySmith (talk) 00:02, 21 December 2024 (UTC) Reverting edits that remove bold from first sentenceHi Hydrangeans, I notice that you have now twice reverted edits to the article Remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington, by me and by User:Surtsicna, that removed bolding from the phrase "remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington" in the first sentence. The main reason that I feel that the boldface is not appropriate here is that "remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington" is merely a descriptive phrase that happens to be used for the Wikipedia article title; it is not, as far as I am aware, an official title of the speech or even a commonly accepted name for the speech. Putting this phrase in bold gives undue weight to this particular phrase, when in fact it is just one of many possible descriptive phrases that might be used to refer to this speech. WP:SBE agrees with this point of view:
I am going to restore Surtsicna's version because I think it reads more naturally and in fact provides greater context in the first sentence by providing a link to Islamic Center of Washington, which cannot be done if that phrase is put in bold (see MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID). —Bkell (talk) 01:53, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Bkell, Hydrangeans, it is not true that the term "remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington" constitutes the proper name for the event. This discussion should be held at the article talk page, however, where another user has already raised the issue. Surtsicna (talk) 09:08, 22 December 2024 (UTC) The Signpost: 24 December 2024
