Democratic Party editsHi Toa, hope all is well since we last talked (If I remember right, we were the ones who reached a consensus on removing the political position from both Dem and GOP infoboxes years ago!). Just wanted to note that I've done some further research into the page history and discovered that while "left-wing populism" is longstanding, sourced content (my bad for the removal here), "Democratic socialism" is not. It was added over the objections of many other editors and continually reverted by its original editor since they first added it three weeks ago. The latter should come to the talk page. I've also proposed the removal of "left-wing populism" as a whole on the talk page. Hope you can join the discussion.

WikiCup 2022 May newsletterThe second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I've known you to be active in CCM related music for a while, but I don't usually edit in that particular area. Your work with CC is impressive, and I recently began working as an intern with WCTL. In their office, they have an RIAA gold award for their self-titled record, as well as an award for "If We Are the Body" - I don't remember if that one was a number-one or an RIAA award. I have never uploaded a photo to Wikimedia before, but would you welcome a shot of these to add to the articles? dannymusiceditor oops 14:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

MorbiusLet's discuss this instead of edit warring. The fact that Leto's and Smith's performances received some praise is determined by reliable sources rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. They are not mentioned as praiseworthy, as you said, but just as better received in relation to the overall critical response to the film, and this is reflected in the reviews included in the article. The sourced material you removed has had a consensus through editing, so please discuss on the talk page and seek a new consensus if you disagree.--Earthh (talk) 11:04, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
[1] It's not my place to butt in, nor do I intend to, but I think you should consider asking for some guidance from administration to be sure you aren't creating a toxic environment. If you do bare even the tiniest bit of responsibility, you should not want it to get worse, or blown out of proportion. You may want to think about how many times in the last few months have you been in arbitration over similar issues. Considering you have been warned about this type of thing somewhat recently [2], and are now seemingly at ANE over something, perhaps similar, perhaps not, as I said I'm not looking to get involved. Maybe you should consider the possibility that your demeanor and conduct possibly tends to rub some editors the wrong way. Your recent interactions with me might not have been as funny or pleasant and conducive to a collaborative & constructive project environment as you may think they are [3]. Best of luck. Hope things improve. Cheers. DN (talk) 03:07, 22 April 2022 (UTC) The Signpost: 24 April 2022
Last Jedi leadConsidering how many critics included Star Wars: The Last Jedi on their 'best of' lists - to the point where it was listed on Metacritic as the 22nd-most mentioned film on 'best of the decade' rankings and 25th on 'best of the year' rankings - I feel like it'd be better to change 'some critics' to 'many critics'.

Since you decided to remove the tag without consensus I have decided to notify Bishonen [5], and I have tagged you in my message to them. I will be taking a break and will be back tomorrow to continue the discussion. DN (talk) 23:03, 6 May 2022 (UTC) [6] [7] These types of comments and personal criticisms seem unproductive in trying to work towards some kind of consensus. [8] I have already asked you to keep these kinds of comments out of the discussion there, and take them to my talk page. [9] I have also already asked you to AGF. There are (seemingly) many other editors there that have shown support for adding something to the info box. I wasn't even the one that raised this issue. It seems you are only focusing on me. At this point I am only focused on researching RS to see what sources say in order to find some consensus. I do not wish to engage with you in such an unproductive manner. I also prefer not to have to keep dragging admins into this because you refuse to disengage. Let's start over with a clean slate and just try to disengage for a while, so that we can both be more productive. Agreed?

word of adviceViriditas seems to be getting very worked up about this. They lashed out at me the other day merely for pointing out that their reasoning for exclusion was not grounded in policy, and they seem eager to accuse you of bad faith, disruptive editing, BLP violations, etc. I would suggest keeping a cool head. I don't see how the reverts help your case at all. For the record, I'm not sure I agree with you that the memoir etc. ought to be cut (though I have no interest in getting involved). I'd just hate to see you get baited into another ban when you seem to be arguing in good faith. Wallnot (talk) 01:30, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Bionicle Heroes Page's Modding Section ReversalHi, I edited in the section regarding the game's modding scene this afternoon and saw it has been reverted. With tens of thousands of hits and coverage through fan-sites, and with modding for other games on the site mentioned, what would be your bar for notable? Considering the game's niche appeal and audience anyway, even on release, this level of attention being paid to the game again by Bionicle fans as a result of, largely, the modding scene, seems worthy of note. There's also a few YouTube videos with a few thousand hits covering various mods. 82.39.243.28 (talk) 18:14, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Revert of my edit to the Democratic Party pageHello. You recently reverted my edit to the Democratic Party page on the grounds that references to European parties "didn't make sense here." I would like to state that my reasoning for this edit was that it provides a comparison of how far left the Democratic Party has shifted for the reader to get a better sense of how the party currently stands in the ideological spectrum with a concrete example rather than just saying "more to the left." I believe this improves the article considerably. Furthermore, if this comparison to European parties was the grounds for my edits' removal, why was the additional sentence after that which had nothing to do with European parties also removed?

WikiCup 2022 September newsletterThe fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round. At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!
