COVID-19 pandemic

Shibbolethink I know you've contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic article (and talk) and therefore I'm wondering if it comes to an end (U.S. already) via the WHO if you would review it once I've nominated , thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 15:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I would love to (and am honored by the request). I think whenever WHO rescinds the declaration is a good time to do so, as it should enter a steadier state with fewer big upsets. One hopes, anyway! — Shibbolethink 21:57, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

thank you (I don't think WHO will take long)--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 23:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

• that was fast should you agree w/ the prior posting and today's event let me know (I'll nominate in about 1 week),thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:20, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, works for me! I think Bon courage is in some sense correct that the "pandemic goes on" but I think this is enough of a milestone that the article has achieved some stability. Any new resurgences will be a footnote in this article in all likelihood, compared to the massive stable information already here. So yes, I would agree with the nomination and I'm happy to review it. — Shibbolethink 15:41, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

thank you, will take a look at a couple of things on the article, it will be GA nom in a week, Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:20, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

• done (a little sooner), Shibbolethink I have added/adjusted some things however should you find that anything (including text, ref, image) needs to be changed, added or deleted. I will act on it immediately, I thank you for your effort--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 00:11, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

  Starting the review today! Wanted to give it a few days in case there were any chaotic edits to the article after the announcement. But looks quite stable to me. — Shibbolethink 16:37, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

thank you--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 17:33, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Trump

Hello! I just wanted to give you a heads up that I reverted you on Donald Trump. I agree with your addition! But an editor on that talk page has said (without much explanation) that it would be a BLP issue if the article mentions the jury finding as to the rape claim. Conversely, other editors have said it's a BLP issue if the jury findings are reported without the rape claim. The issue is currently being discussed on the talk page.--Jerome Frank Disciple 21:05, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes I saw that after I made the edit. I think such disagreements usually peter off over time, it's extremely obvious we should report what most reliable sources say, and most sources report all those findings. — Shibbolethink 21:09, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

If you want to chime in on the talk page, I'd personally appreciate it! But I also understand if you want to avoid that mess.--Jerome Frank Disciple 21:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Responded. I probably won't go fifty rounds on this one, but glad to have provided my 2 cents. That talk page is usually a cess pool. — Shibbolethink 21:14, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Trump edit-warring

Very disappointing to see a somewhat experienced editor such as yourself edit-warring multiple bits of content at Donald Trump. Especially with @Space4Time3Continuum2x: locked out by 3RR. My edit summary for the age thing said "trivial" in addition to unsourced. Adding sources does not cure "trivial" and your reinsertion ignored both that edit summary and talk page comment. Please self-revert, as you should also have done with the molestation content. SPECIFICO talk 19:45, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

I disagree that it is trivial, and it is also following BRD to rv your removal of it, especially since I did not add the content in the first place. Will happily respond at the talk page. — Shibbolethink 19:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

It's clear you disagree. That does not justify an edit war. You do not appear to know what WP:BRD says. It is not 24-BRD we're talking about. And you should also carefully read WP:EW -- thinking you're right and others are wrong does not justify edit-warring. SPECIFICO talk 20:12, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from telling me what I do and do not know. I never claimed that I knew what was right or wrong. I also never edit warred. I'll tell you one thing for sure: edit warring is more than one reversion, and I have only done one. Note: An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributionsIf you repeatedly accuse me of misconduct like this without evidence, then that would likely constitute WP:ASPERSIONS. Please refrain from doing so. — Shibbolethink 20:13, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

You are misusing the WP:ASPERSIONS terminology. I have specified exactly what behavior of yours is at issue. SPECIFICO talk 20:19, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
