Moving my comments

Is CUA for Catholic University of America and do you have a conflict due to a relationship with the university?AlmostFrancis (talk) 04:30, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

AlmostFrancis, briancua was my former username. I had it changed several years ago to avoid confusion about potential COI. I didn't realize the new automated talk page archiver was using that name to archive my old discussions. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll see if I can fix it. --Slugger O'Toole (talk) 12:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough but you should probably take your alma mater off of your watchlist and leave it to others to edit. AlmostFrancis (talk) 04:29, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Massachusetts General Court session article names

Thanks for your input on this topic at User talk:M2545. I've moved the conversation, including your comments so far, to Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Massachusetts#Massachusetts General Court session article names.

Toll Booth Willie, Thanks! That'll be a dollar twenty five, pop! -- Slugger O'Toole (talk) 14:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Content sourced to Catholic Priests

Are you aware that all the sourcing you just added to the HV article was from a liberation theology publisher, a mixture of religions and Marxism, and was written by two Catholic priests.AlmostFrancis (talk) 06:03, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

AlmostFrancis, This type of discussion is best held on the article talk page. I will respond there. -- Slugger O'Toole (talk) 13:16, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Advice regarding chronic issues

RE Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Years of incivility: I agree with the close that this issue is "stale", but this brings the problem that any current issue is just a "one-off incident" which is discussed and resolved, but the long-term pattern is not considered or acted on. Administrators' noticeboard is generally considered a poor venue for resolving issues like this, although it is an essential part of dispute resolution. The current ArbCom has shown signs of willing to take chronic incivility seriously. Honestly, you should have probably requested arbitration after those three initial AN/I threads which included the religious personal attack and the serious case of rev-deleting one's own edit. I am uncertain if a case would be accepted now, without further developments (perhaps inclining to not), but you shouldn't be afraid to try that if there are sound reasons. --Pudeo (talk) 08:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

I second Pudeo's advice. Jusdafax (talk) 09:59, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Jusdafax and Pudeo, Thank you for the advice. I spend the vast, vast majority of my time here creating articles and adding content. I don't spend any time on noticeboards unless I am directly involved in an issue. As a result, I am only vaguely aware of what ArbCom does and completely unfamiliar with how they operate. If you think it is worth filing a case and are willing to take the lead, I would support you in any way I could. Or, perhaps, we could collaborate together to file one. I am really not sure what the best course of action is here. -- Slugger O'Toole (talk) 13:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

ArbCom is time-intensive, no doubt about that, and partly because of that I've never filed a case there. I would hesitate to start one without devoting considerable study first. You need to know how to do it right, and have a strong case. You do have the option of contacting ArbCom by email. In my view, Pudeo's last sentence is a good summation.

Arbitration Case Request

Hello I'm Cameron11598 and I am a clerk for the arbitration committee. I recently removed some comments you made from the case request you recently filed, as they seemed to be a personal attack. Please keep in mind that all editors are required to act reasonably, civilly, and with decorum on arbitration pages, and may face sanctions if they fail to do so. I am also required by our procedures to warn you that arbitration clerks are authorized by the arbitration policy and ArbCom precedent to sanction users for conduct on arbitration pages, including by blocks and topic bans from Arbitration Committee pages. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ 17:02, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 12

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Benjamin Bussey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hessian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

JzG case request declined

The case request "JzG" that you are a party to has been declined by the committee after a absolute majority of arbitrators voted to decline the case request. The case request has been removed from Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case. A permanent link to the declined case can be accessed through this wikilink.

For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazz 15:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you

for all the good work that you do and your perennially constructive approach to editing and discussion. On the HES article, I agree with you that RWM's characterization of the June 18 version as "stable" is not accurate. Are your proposed changes basically to add the phrase with "one of the twelve degree-granting schools" and condense the organization to one paragraph? While I do not believe that the emphasis on "degree-granting" is necessary (because the fact that HES offers degrees is covered later in the lead), I would still be absolutely fine with your changes. Just wanted to let you know. RedHotPear (talk) 20:36, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
