			::You are right that I was overzealous in reverting your contribution to the talk page. I apologise for this. However, if you start a Talk topic called "Interesting new book" and then ask people to comment on a summary of this book you shouldn't be surprised if someone thinks you are inviting other editors to enter into a general debate about this book. It would have been better to start a topic called something like: "Estimates of Civilian Deaths" and then propose a change to the info box based on cited page numbers of this book. Also the question you posed is already canvassed in the article so it appeared to me that you hadn't even read the article. Nevertheless I should have answered you question on your Talk page or on the article Talk page as I have now done. Again I apologise for not taking your question seriously. I hope you have a great new year and that I wake up less cranky than I was. ] (]) 22:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

	== Move of ''n''-Butanol ==

			Please remember to check our ] each month for upcoming events.
	I don't believe you are interpreting the ] correctly. Use of the lowercase forms like "1-butanol" were used by {{u\|IJBall}} and myself because that is proper sentence case; however the page titles need to have the first word capitalized per ]. Look at the articles for the related alcohols ] and ] that were mentioned in my move proposal and you will see these pages have titles with the capitalized form, as 1-butanol should also be. Myself and {{u\|Wostr}} commented after the move discussion that this move was in error. Generally when someone uses "Support" in bold font it means they support the proposal as indicated; even if IJBall intended to mean the lowercase version, that was not sufficient to conclude consensus for this alternative. ] (]) 19:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

	*]: After checking Google Scholar, I can indeed see that the chemistry convention is to write uppercase at the beginning of the sentence and lowercase otherwise. Perhaps write it down somewhere as a WP:CHEMISTRY style guide? Just a suggestion, (] · ]) ''']''' 19:29, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
	::The capitalization convention with respect to compound names with prefixes is already noted at ], which I agree could be summarized at the ], but I don't think that would have prevented this misunderstanding. To look at a move discussion with only two comments, both in support, and conclude that there is consensus to move the page to a name different from the one originally proposed is quite presumptuous! A discussion closer ought to be very sure such a conclusion is correct and question their assumptions, otherwise they should exercise caution and consider leaving the discussion open for an admin or a user more familiar with the subject matter to close the discussion, consistent with ]. Normally a vote to move to a page other than that originally proposed would be articulated more clearly. Only one of the commenting users specifically used the lowercase version, which by the way is not the official IUPAC name (which is butan-1-ol, which fails ]), and as has already been made clear, this was not intended to mean the page name should be lowercase. As a ] you are supposed to exercise the discretion entrusted in you and demonstrate a better-than-average understanding of ] policy. Nevertheless, I understand the numeric prefix is a potential source of confusion and that this was likely a simple mistake. Believing this was a simple mistake, a user not involved in the discussion attempted to point this out to you on the ], and after not hearing from you for about a day I took this to ]. What I don't understand is how after being confronted with two users challenging your understanding of the discussion, one of whom was not involved in the original discussion, you still asserted you were correct by ] without further investigation, even as (unknowingly) another page mover saw no problem with the technical request and was performing the correct move. Why did you not first take a closer look at the requested move and see the other alcohol articles I linked in the original proposal have capitalized titles, or notice that the original page name, ''n''-butanol, also had the "B" capitalized? Why didn't you discuss your point of view on the talk page after being pinged the first time? My point in all this is that mistakes and misunderstandings happen, and I appreciate your efforts, but your actions in this case turned what could have been a simple misunderstanding into an unnecessarily larger mess involving numerous page move actions and other editors. For someone with page mover rights, I urge you to exercise more discretion and caution with closing move discussions in the future. ] (]) 21:19, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

	**No problem :). By the way, seeing your editing interests above, if you know or can get good quality Polish translations, you might want to follow the sources in the Ukrainian section of ] - the Minister of the about-to-be-merged Ministry of Research and Higher Education (research + universities) and Ministry of National Education (schools) - and decide if the sources justify a comment on Czarnek's views in relation to anti-semitism. I'm unlikely to touch that, because the interpretations of what is anti-semitism versus what is a criticism of Israel as a state and what the allusions are in a statement are issues that I didn't find clear enough in the sources. (I can guess likely interpretations, knowing the context, but my guesses here are irrelevant for Misplaced Pages content.) If the current women's revolution in PL fails, Czarnek will presumably try to revise the Polish school curriculum and Polish university faculties in line with his view on what would constitute improvements. Better that en.Misplaced Pages readers have reliably sourced info on what his views and past actions are. ] (]) 07:06, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

			The arbitration case ] has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
	Hi, thanks for your work at those articles. Do you think a sentence about the theory could be at ]? It is true "the sources cited don't describe any of these as a form of Holocaust denial, full stop", but ] redirects to Holocaust denial, hence why I added it in the first place, so maybe a sentence could be added to say that the double genocide theory is supported in Eastern Europe due to trivalising the Holocaust, i.e. that they "n some former Eastern Bloc countries, Holocaust deniers do not deny the very fact of mass murder of Jews, but they deny the participation of their own nationals in the Holocaust" and perhaps it could be added, "proposing an equivalence, known as the ], to equalize Communism and Nazism", or something like that. ] (]) 04:33, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
	*] The issue here is that most sources define "Holocaust deniers make one or more of the following false statements..." as stated in the lead of ]. Obviously double genocide theory does not make any of those false statements. They aren't interested in claiming that the Holocaust didn't happen, Auschwitz wasn't a death camp, or that Hitler didn't order the murder. At most, double genocide proponents deny the role of local collaborators—"the Holocaust happened, but our guys were not involved"—but even that isn't necessarily the case. Most sources I have read clearly make a distinction between denying the role of collaborators versus denying the genocide itself. Therefore, I would say it is more appropriate to discuss in ] or maybe in a full-fledged article ], or perhaps ] (which should not redirect to Holocaust denial as it is used to mean something different).

Your addition to World War II Talk

Hello there

Please note that The World War II Talk page "is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject." it is not a place to discuss editors' opinions on new books about WWII. If you have a suggestion for a specific addition to the article please provide it with appropriate sources. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 11:00, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Aemilius Adolphin Your overzealous attempt to unilaterally police the talk page are in fact likely to be considered edit warring, if reported. If it's controversial or other editors disagree, you should not be removing others' comments on talk pages. I am asking you to self revert. (t · c) buidhe 22:10, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

You are right that I was overzealous in reverting your contribution to the talk page. I apologise for this. However, if you start a Talk topic called "Interesting new book" and then ask people to comment on a summary of this book you shouldn't be surprised if someone thinks you are inviting other editors to enter into a general debate about this book. It would have been better to start a topic called something like: "Estimates of Civilian Deaths" and then propose a change to the info box based on cited page numbers of this book. Also the question you posed is already canvassed in the article so it appeared to me that you hadn't even read the article. Nevertheless I should have answered you question on your Talk page or on the article Talk page as I have now done. Again I apologise for not taking your question seriously. I hope you have a great new year and that I wake up less cranky than I was. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 22:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Buidhe. Thank you for your work on Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

There are two sources independent of the group, although it would be helpful to show sustained coverage from independent sources.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Exercise capacity

A tag has been placed on Exercise capacity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done for the following reason:

WP:NOTDICTIONARY

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria 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 Misplaced Pages'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.

Proposed deletion of Daniel Uziel

The article Daniel Uziel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Source 1 is worldcat, which is made for any author. Source 2 is a blog. Source 3 is self-published. Every other source confirms a book published + is self-published.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Istrian-Dalmatian Exodus

Hello Buidhe. Could you validate that this edit where these sources are reliable and in-fact state that the entire exodus of 350,000 Italians was ethnic cleansing? Not even the article on the topic states this outright. Thanks. OyMosby (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

I mean I do find this editing problematic, but you really should not be posting this to my talk page, as it might be construed as canvassing. (t · c) buidhe 03:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Understood. I had seen that you vetted the sourcing of past additions to the page so figured you would be a good editor to reach out to for insight. I don’t have the best of luck of being able to access the citations. I assumed you might have better methods of accessing academic portals. Cheers OyMosby (talk) 04:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

OyMosby Most are available on WP:The Misplaced Pages Library, which you should have access to. (t · c) buidhe 04:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I was not aware of the Misplaced Pages Library. Much appreciated! OyMosby (talk) 05:18, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 closed

The arbitration case Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Misplaced Pages by motion.
WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each: Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Misplaced Pages articles, Misplaced Pages discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.

Details of the balanced editing restriction
In a given 30-day period, a user under this restriction is limited to making no more than one-third of their edits in the Article, Talk, Draft, and Draft talk namespaces to pages that are subject to the extended-confirmed restriction under Arab–Israeli conflict contentious topic procedures. This will be determined by an edit filter that tracks edits to pages in these namespaces that are extended confirmed protected, or are talk pages of such pages, and are tagged with templates to be designated by the arbitration clerks. Admins are encouraged to apply these templates when protecting a page, and the clerks may use scripts or bots to add these templates to pages where the protection has been correctly logged, and may make any necessary changes in the technical implementation of this remedy in the future. Making an edit in excess of this restriction, as determined at the time the edit is made, should be treated as if it were a topic ban violation. Admins should note that a restricted user effectively cannot violate the terms of this and above clauses until at least 30 days after the sanction has been imposed. They are topic banned from the Arab–Israeli conflict, broadly construed, in all namespaces other than these four (except for their own userspace and user talkspace). This sanction is not subject to the normal standards of evidence for disruptive editing; it simply requires a finding that it would be a net positive for the project were the user to lower their activity in the topic area, particularly where an editor has repeatedly engaged in conflict but is not being intentionally or egregiously disruptive. Any admin finding a user in violation of this restriction may, at their discretion, impose other contentious topic sanctions.

If a sockpuppet investigations clerk or member of the CheckUser team feels that third-party input is not helpful at an investigation, they are encouraged to use their existing authority to ask users to stop posting to that investigation or to SPI as a whole. In addition to clerks and members of the CheckUser team, patrolling administrators may remove or collapse contributions that impede the efficient resolution of investigations without warning.
