Talk:Sweet Baby Inc./FAQ
Could you add a section that explains to users where to post (Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard) if they want to complain about Kotaku and other sites being used as reliable sources? Trade (talk) 01:03, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I want to point out, that right now a RS, already used in the article of Sweet Baby Inc, to quote her tweet about the List and to report it, stated in this sentence, that the Sweet baby Inc employee tried to targeted report the user as well. This was for undue reason not mentioned and one of the main reasons for the critics on this article.
- It is based on the source https://dotesports.com/general/news/sweet-baby-inc-detected-drama-explained
- it says: "They asked their followers to report it and its creator due to it failing Steam’s code of conduct,"
- So shouldn't it be added the full statement of the quoted RS:
- The curator group received increased attention in February when a Sweet Baby employee asked others to report it and its creator for failing Steam's code of conduct.

Invincible Incivility
Thanks for your comment on the lab leak discussion page. Just to confirm, I only speak up there when there is adult supervision around. In addition to the constant abuse, there's lots of banning people over trumped up content disputes.
But it isn't limited to that page and it's been going on in full view for years. What kind of superpowers does this guy have, that he can flout CIVIL for years without consequences? Not to mention the other PAGs. It's impossible that other people don't see this and it's spooky how almost nobody will say anything (again, thank you).
I can only speak as a very small-time editor, but the conspicuous failure of the site to rein him in hasn't just driven me away from the topic but from Misplaced Pages as a whole. - Palpable (talk) 16:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Beyond the Individual: Misplaced Pages Ethics Workshop
Hi JPxG. Back in December you left a message on our talk page about your interest in our workshops. Given the slight disconnect between our email communication and outreach on Wiki, I wanted to reach out and make sure you were able to sign up if you're still interested. Up next we have a workshop planned for April 11, 2024 · 1:00pm - 3:00pm CST. If that doesn't work, we're planning one soon after that you could be a part of the scheduling processes.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello JPxG,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Regarding the false allegations you made about me alleging I was involved in doxxing someone.
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.TheSpacebook (talk) 20:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Your response to me at AN
Re Special:Diff/1216918845, nothing in my comment says we should allow or ignore doxxing. I'm saying that pointing to the specific location is unnecessary and does nothing but cause more harm to the person who has been doxxed. It's insensitive, especially when there are other less public ways to deal with these kinds of things. In case that wasn't clear, I'm trying to help the person who was doxxed not have that doxx made more visible, but sure, take my words as meaning doxxing is "extremely cool and normal". Giraffer (talk) 21:39, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I mean, they've already been enabled, they've already done le harms -- they just pulled some yakuza hit job style bullshit on an arb in broad daylight! And the concerns getting brought up are like, righteous indignation at the suppression of criticism??? The criticism isn't the main issue here! I feel like I have been transported to a hostile alternate universe today.
- That whole thing is not your fault, it's just, like -- what the fuck? jp×g🗯️ 22:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Friendly advice
It can be tempting to always have to get the last word in a discussion or reply at great length to make yourself clear and capture every possible caveat. I've gradually learnt over the years that brevity is the soul of wit and sometimes it's better to let the discussion move on or die out without you. I haven't learnt to always follow my own advice but apparently that doesn't stop me offering it to others for whatever it may be worth. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I suppose every once in a while I have to be told my zipper is down; better to be told than not, and most fortunate of all if I am told discreetly... jp×g🗯️ 22:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
