I'm a big fan of keeping an entire discussion in one place, so unless otherwise requested or noted, I'll reply here to anything started here. Similarly, if a discussion was started elsewhere, I'd prefer to continue it there, but if that's something you're rabidly against, I'm easy.

Discretionary sanctions alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Office of the Former President moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Office of the Former President, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. This page needs correct sourcing, expanded text and just generally a lot of work before it is ready for the mainspace. Please develop this article more and get some help before you submit it to the mainspace again. Nightenbelle (talk) 18:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @Nightenbelle: -- this is an article I created that got (correctly, IMHO) turned into a redirect, but then got co-opted by another editor who added entirely new content. You've probably noticed that it's already been recreated by another editor (and deleted again, and recreated, if I'm reading the history correctly) and the war is back on... .

In any event, the content that's currently in draftspace is not mine, nor do I think it needs to be preserved (although it would probably be appropriate to restore the edit history to the original article).

If the edit history can't be salvaged, I think the draftspace version should be deleted. Are either of these something you can do, or guide me on doing myself? Thanks, NapoliRoma (talk) 23:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Patent (disambiguation) cleanup

Thanks! Turns out one of the detailed statements wasn't even correct (the botany glossary says the term means 45–50°, not 90°). DMacks (talk) 21:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar

grunts and groans

In context, grunts are ordinary soldiers; groans is a play on the ambiguity. —Tamfang (talk) 04:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
