Thanks for bringing this theorist to my attention. I think I'll enjoy reading some of his work. Simonm223 (talk) 19:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

In addition to his picking apart of media memes in the broader text I linked at AE, his papers on Liberal , Marxist and Anarchist views of the state, as well as the broader place of Marxian theory in international relations academia are interesting. _signed, Rosguill 19:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

the indefinite topic ban

Hello, Rosguill. Yesterday I was left heartbroken after being banned from the AA topic by you without a chance to respond to the Vanezi's misrepresenting claims.

May I write my response to Vanezi that would consist of a table and several references to the AA topic?

Regards, Hew Folly (talk) 11:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Hew Folly, no. I gave you a chance to respond, waiting until you continued editing before addressing the concerns raised. You ignored the concerns, and proceeded to post a The message on Lucky102's talk page alone is clearly against the letter and spirit of GS/AA and merits a ban after having received the prior warnings from Firefangledfeathers (as would the edits I identified from the report). You have received sufficient warnings and second chances already. Your remaining recourse is to follow the standard appeals procedures described in the ban notice. I would strongly recommend that you first demonstrably build up your editing skills and dedication to Misplaced Pages by making significant contributions to other topics. _signed, Rosguill 14:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Chance to respond

I gave you a chance to respond, waiting until you continued editing before addressing the concerns raised. You ignored the concerns, and proceeded to post a The message on Lucky102's talk page alone is clearly against the letter...

I propose to look through chronology:

My post on Lucky102's talk page was written at 05:16 on November 12, 2024 .

Vanezi wrote his distorted claims more than 16 hours later, at 22:13, November 12.

And you issued your ban less than 24 hours after the Vanetsi's letter in the absence of my answer, at 14:55, next day, November 13.. And then issued your ban notice right after that(one minute later), at 14:56, November 13 , and then on the AEL page, just three minutes later or at 14:59, November 13.

All my edits after the Vanezi's letter were either related to my response on my draft page or those posted on your talk page on starting from 16:10 November 13 to November 14. . Last but not least, the edits were done more than 1 hour after you imposed your ban, and not before.

Conclusion: you technically couldn't impose your ban due to alegged disregard to the raised issue (in the form of post on Lucky102 and edits after the issue) from my side for the following reasons:

1. My post on the Luck102's page was written before the issue was ever raised.

2. All my edits after the issue was raised were not only related to the issue itself but were also done after the ban was actually imposed.

Do you agree?

Regards, Hew Folly (talk) 18:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

See WP:WIKILAWYER. I still think the ban is warranted for the reasons I have already laid out, I do not disagree with the technicalities you point out but they're ultimately irrelevant. You have not demonstrated care for abiding by GS/AA after warnings; no further warning or response was required following the initial CTOPs notice left by FireFangledFeathers about 3 months ago. I'll also note that you're addressing comments that I had already struck and amended as of several hours ago. _signed, Rosguill 18:05, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

See WP:WIKILAWYER. I still think the ban is warranted for the reasons I have already laid out, I do not disagree with the technicalities you point out but they're ultimately irrelevant.

Sure, I have some questions about them, too. But let's finish this one, because there's still some unclarity about that:

I'll also note that you're addressing comments that I had already struck and amended as of several hours ago

I have checked both the older and current versions and noticed that only one of the comments I addressed was struck , while the first line (I gave you a chance to respond, waiting until you continued editing before addressing the concerns raised.) remains unchanged in both versions. .

Let me just clarify if you still stand with it.

Apologies for the error in the application of the text striking. This has now been addressed. _signed, Rosguill 16:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! We have finished this part and now I suggest to start working on the next one. Hew Folly (talk) 16:53, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

WP:Tendentious, relevance and source-free

After our previous discussion, I appreciate your modified post on my talk page. Although there is still some unclarity:

I am also deeply concerned by the most recent comment, which is another irrelevant, RGW and source-free statement about Armenia-Azerbaijan.

So, we have two comments: Mine and that of Lucky102:

1. The Lucky102's post was written on a Stepanakert talk page that was published on January 16, at 06:06. .Note: as you can see, Lucky102's post was published with no links but WP:OR (which is legitimate for a Talk page), supported by links to Misplaced Pages pages , not specific sources, proper.

2. My post on his Talk page published several months later on November 12, at 05:16. . Note: this post, as you can see, was tagged with a link to his post on another talk page, and provided with a source to a text on another Misplaced Pages page that itself had a source .

Was my statement on the Lucky102's source-free, as you mentioned here  ?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hew Folly (talk • contribs)

The difference is that as an editor who is not yet extended confirmed, you are expressly forbidden from making any edits to this topic at all, unless they are obviously constructive improvements like correcting spelling mistakes, updating information based on RS, etc. Lucky102's comment in this case does appear to be subpar and reflects poorly of them. If they exhibit a consistent pattern of behavior in this fashion, they may face sanctions. But as an editor with more than 500 edits and 30 days, they are allowed to participate and that means some leeway for being less-than-constructive in discussions. You have not reached that level of clearance, and thus are held to a higher standard per WP:GS/AA. The exceptions to GS/AA exist to allow us to accept clearly beneficial edits that no one would object to; you have repeatedly abused them to make polemic arguments on talk pages, and for this reason you have been indefinitely banned from the topic.

I believe that I have sufficiently explained the grounds for the sanction. Any further appeals should be made to WP:AE. _signed, Rosguill 19:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

I believe that I have sufficiently explained the grounds for the sanction. Any further appeals should be made to WP:AE

To appeal to WP:AE (or any other relevant Misplaced Pages arbitral institution) is exactly what I am planning to do, but I need to clarify all the unclear issues, as you recommended yourself .

Lucky102's comment in this case does appear to be subpar and reflects poorly of them.If they exhibit a consistent pattern of behavior in this fashion, they may face sanctions.

And that's exactly what I meant when wrote that Lucky102's statement was not subject to the Misplaced Pages rules. Can we now agree that my post on his talk page was relevant, not WP:Tendentious due to this reason and the fact that I actually supported his point, and definetely not source-free? If yes, please modify your comments here .

GS/AA, Polemic ≠ disruptive

The exceptions to GS/AA exist to allow us to accept clearly beneficial edits that no one would object to; you have repeatedly abused them to make polemic arguments on talk pages

How can I know if anyone would object my argument or not? And according to the rules you referred to, Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Polemic ≠ disruptive. I took part in polemics after receiving warning from FireFrangledFeathers, was reported, warned again yet, supported by FireFrangledFeathers themselves in multiple cases . Hew Folly (talk) 20:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

See, this is the kind of wikilawyering that is unlikely to persuade anyone to unban you. I believe that I have sufficiently explained the grounds for the sanction. Any further appeals should be made to WP:AE. _signed, Rosguill 21:01, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

My thoughts match Rosguill's. It's very unlikely that an appeal based on these grounds will succeed, and it's likely that it would worsen the chances of a future appeal based on better ones. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers@Rosguill Thanks for advice! I appreciate that! Can we set the record straight here? Hew Folly (talk) 19:42, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you'd want to continue to talk about your ECR violation, except to say that you understand that it was one and will be sure it isn't repeated. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:44, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Guidance

Hi Rosguill, thought i'd reach out as I saw you had issued a topic ban for Ratnahastin in 2021. I'm concerned about their behavior on an article (among others) and seeking guidance on whether the 2021 ban needs to be revisited. Looks like it was lifted in December 2023.

In their appeal they mentioned that "In the future, I will only rely on broad perspective scholarly sources for the changes i wish to make and utilise venues such as WP:RSN and WP:DRN incase the dispute arises. I will avoid making any edits that might be deemed promoting a POV. If I get reverted, I will seek consensus on the talk page and refrain from edit warring . I will not accuse or cast aspersions against any fellow editor. I will maintain civility and take additional time to seek the consensus". However, recently, I've observed how their behavior has violated the conditions by which they sought appeal. To keep this brief, will try to limit my diffs to one article, but as I said before, am concerned it's also going on on other articles.

• For starters they copied one pov of an incident from the article into the lead without accurately summarizing the entire details from the body in a npov
• Ignored questions raised on talk when reverted
• Disregarded reliable sources that don't meet their POV:
• Edit warring and tag teaming with editors who had no prior history/edits on the article to bait a new user into violating 3RR and getting them banned for some time, only to later add in the content the editor was trying to point out earlier
• Instead of trying to seek consensus on the talk, they haven't WP:AGF and filed an SPI against me and other users who have attempted to engage in discussion

Eucalyptusmint (talk) 04:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Eucalyptusmint, based on these diffs this seems like it's still at the level of a content dispute.

• For the first point, the lead expansion is perhaps off base, but the text clearly includes that the claims are "alleged", and the sources used to support most of the additional details undermining the suit appear to generally cite weaker sources, so it doesn't seem to be a foregone conclusion that they're due for the lead. Is this edit going to win Ratnahastin a Defender of the Wiki barnstar? No. Is it grounds for an immediate sanction? Also no.
• Ignoring the questions raised on talk would be a significant concern if they continued to make edits to that page contra the objections after they were made, but the questions seem to have been made after Ratnahastin's last edits to the page.
• Dismissing the AP source out of hand is perhaps the most concerning thing listed here, but they don't appear to address that source directly, so it's not clear whether this is tendentious. It's also not clear that AP really supports most of the issue under contention, as most of the contentious information seems to be attributed to Trivedi, in which case ignoring it is less of an issue.
• I think that the evidence related to the edit warring does not demonstrate that this was an attempt to bait anyone into anything, and Ratnahastin was only peripherally involved with that.
• Editors are allowed to file SPIs if they provide appropriate evidence; if it's baseless and clearly tendentious, that will be evident from the result of the investigation and action can be taken at that time.

_signed, Rosguill 17:48, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you taking some time out provide your thoughts! I can see how this can be seen as a content dispute, but as far as the RS I think it would be unlikely that the AP along with other widely circulated Indian sources are all deliberately falsifying the same set of facts. Regardless, I'll look into this further to see if there's any independent verification of these facts available. And to my point about being concerned, I'll also take a look again to determine if this is indeed merely a matter of differing viewpoints on one article or a wider re-emergence of similar behavior that had previously led to their tban.

You offered a statement in an arbitration enforcement referral. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Evidence. Please add your evidence by 23:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC), which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Workshop.

Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates

You 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 The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

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). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Topic ban about bludgeoning

Appeal Regarding My Topic Ban

Dear Rosguill,

Merry Christmas.

I am writing to respectfully appeal the topic ban you imposed on me. I understand that i have made mistakes, and I take full responsibility for them.

Upon reflection and further educating myself on the policies of Misplaced Pages, I realize where I went wrong, and I now better understand the importance of following to Misplaced Pages's guidelines.

I am genuinely passionate about contributing to[REDACTED] in a constructive and collaborative manner. Moving forward, I am committed to ensuring that my edits align with community standards and that I have respectful yet informative discussions with other[REDACTED] editors.

I kindly ask you to reconsider my topic ban, or at least provide guidance on steps I can take to rebuild trust within the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, Lemabeta Lemabeta (talk) 09:07, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lemabeta, I appreciate your reflections. Generally speaking, topic bans like this are only lifted following demonstrated constructive editing to other topics. I would recommend working on editing topics not affected by the ban for a few months (if you're not sure where to look, WP:TASK has a long list of different things to do). _signed, Rosguill 17:38, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Eric Rajah

Hey Rosguill, I was going over the AfC for wikiproject Christianity when I stumbled on the aforementioned draft. I was about to pass it because it met the minimum notability standards, but I saw that you draftified it due to the creator's COI. Before I do anything to the draft submission, I want to check with you first to make sure it is alright to pass first. The picture might need to go and further edits to ensure neutrality in tone might be needed, but in my opinion, I think it can go back to the mainspace. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:23, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

HistoryTheorist, the COI concern was reason for it to be sent to AfC, but now that you're reviewing it there it's fine for you to accept the submission. Taking into account my conversation with the initial editor a few months ago, I think it's clear that while there is a personal connection to the subject, it's not UPE (even if their acknowledgment of this isn't quite by-the-book), so if it meets notability guidelines and other relevant policy then it's ok to publish. _signed, Rosguill 14:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok. I don't know what to do about the picture though. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 19:07, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

I think it's fine--he's claimed it as own work, and all indications suggest that's true. Photos provided by someone close to the subject aren't in themselves a problem--they're usually just an obvious giveaway that someone has a COI. But it's been disclosed, so that's water under the bridge. If there were something egregiously non-neutral about the photo it would be a different story, but that's not a problem here. _signed, Rosguill 21:20, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks! ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 21:43, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Chiyo miyako

I did not undelte that article because i am a sock my reason for undeleteting the artcile is the blatant agenda of the editors who delted it 6 years ago if you check the WP longevity page youll see there was a mass deletion if artfiles such as this one with the basis being "being old isnt notable" which is a inherently subjective article i would also like to point out that the first afd result was overturned as there was a clear majority to keep the article so what happens? The exact same group of editors wait a couple months then rush it into afd again while most people have left the area i dont think this is sufficient critea to keep an article deleted and such an argument as "being old isnt notable" isnt generally accepcted anymore hence i have undeleted an article because the reason for delelting it in the first llace was extremely flimsy and doene witn pseudo shady tactics Wwew345t (talk) 21:43, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

well I may not have been an editor for very long but I have been a reader for much longer I used to edit all the time on "the gerntolgy wiki" before the grg staged a hostile takeover of the site and eliminated any reference to lq or any other longevity organization so I migrated here and while my main focus is longeivey article (which lead me to researching how hundreds of articles somehow all got deleted in a 2 month span) I do try to edit other pages basically what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to reform that article topic as many pages that were arguably better written articles then other were deleted for seeming trivial and subjective reasons Wwew345t (talk) 22:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Your close of the AA discussion

While I agree that this was going nowhere fast, and that opening the discussion was technically a violation of GS/AA, I tend to think that this is a situation where we should IAR. It seems procedurally unfair not to allow non-EC editors to appeal community restrictions that affect their ability to edit. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:27, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

voorts, I considered that, which is why I didn't impose any sanctions or further warnings from what is otherwise a clear-cut violation. However, it was clear that they were intending to bludgeon the discussion and that other editors were collectively taking the bait, so I decided to close it to conserve community time. _signed, Rosguill 01:31, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I fully agree with closing this discussion; my intent was to make a note more generally about IAR. And, for what it's worth, I think SSCG was being earnest here. They initially posted at ARCA and when I told them that that was the wrong place, they opened this at the proper forum (unfortunately before I could share some advice with them). voorts (talk/contributions) 01:36, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
