== Ja'alin tribe and Shaigiya tribe ==
About an hour after you blocked {{user|38.242.163.236}} and restored sourced content on {{pagelinks|Ja'alin tribe}}, a day-old account restored the same content that 38.242.163.236 had been adding; though now with a source. The anon geolocates to UK and the new account's user page states he is in the UK. The edit summary is quite similar. Do you think I should open a sock investigation?

Hello Discospinster. Wondering why you deleted a majority of the first paragraph of our history. That paragraph has been in place for several years without issue. Thanks. [[User:Shepardde|Shepardde]] ([[User talk:Shepardde|talk]]) 17:49, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. So I see some brands do cite their own company webpage. Can you advise on when that is acceptable? The paragraph you deleted had been in place for several years with any editor feedback, so just curious why now and what had changed. Thanks.[[User:Shepardde|Shepardde]] ([[User talk:Shepardde|talk]]) 17:20, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
:I can't speak for other editors. Citing a subject's own webpage would fall under [[WP:ABOUTSELF]], which gives guidelines on when they could or couldn't be used. If it's citing a fact such as when the company was founded or how many employees they have, it would be OK. If the use is primarily "self-serving" (about all the wonderful things they did such as donating money and helping with relief efforts) then it would need a reliable independent source. <span style="color:DarkGray">...</span> [[User:discospinster|<span style="color:DarkOrange">'''disco'''</span><span style="color: #556B2F">'''''spinster'''''</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:discospinster|'''<span style="color:DarkGray">talk</span>''']]</sub> 23:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

==[[Draft:Raiffeisenbank (Bulgaria)]]==
Hello, Discospinster,

We typically draftify newly created articles, not 11 year-old main space articles. I was just handling some broken redirects that occurred because this article was moved to Draft space and I was surprised to see such a long-standing article moved out of main space where it had existed for so long. Just thought I'd inquire about it. 

Hope your summer is going well. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 22:04, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

== Draftification of [[Draft:Raiffeisenbank (Bulgaria)]] ==

You moved [[Raiffeisenbank (Bulgaria)]], which had been in mainspace since 2011, to draftspace. Per [[Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 172#Proposal to ban draftifying articles more than 90 days old without consensus]], you aren't supposed to do that.

== Elena Fossi is a lesbian ==

Elena Fossi admitted to having had a same-sex crush. It's not known if she's actually lesbian or bi (or pansexual?), but she is LGBT. She once said: "I also like that a girl was in love with a girl. It happens, whether some people like it or not! Then, it's part of my own story..." (source: http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/interviews/elena-alice-fossi-kirlian-camera-spectra-paris-2017/).

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|the bold, revert, discuss cycle]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. 

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you do not violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:InvadingInvader|InvadingInvader]] ([[User talk:InvadingInvader|talk]]) 01:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

== Dear {{ping|Discospinster}} ==

I don't understand, on the english Wikipedia: if I write articles about mathematicians - nobody cares. If I edit articles in math or physics - the same. I am mostly active on the German Wikipedia (writing math and physics stuff). Now I have a created an article for the Ukrainian group "Made in Ukraine" (which clearly exists) and you made that it is not visible for the public. 

I told you, that there are very few sources and I also don't understand Ukrainian that well. So I deleted a lot of stuff, but now it is still in "Limbo". It makes for me a really bad impression! Especially during the war! And if you think I am not serious, watch my German page, I wrote more than 60+ articles in math and physics. --[[User:Tensorproduct|Tensorproduct]] ([[User talk:Tensorproduct|talk]]) 23:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
: Ok thanks then for the help. I still feel kind of "deceived", since I share my math and physics knowledge for free and in both fields administrators are not deleting when there is no source. But thanks! It showed me again that people don't respect my work. --[[User:Tensorproduct|Tensorproduct]] ([[User talk:Tensorproduct|talk]]) 23:23, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Discospinster}} I am going to never edit again any math or physics article in the english Wikipedia page. Last contribution that I made and I think was important was for [[Surgery theory]].

== Hellraiser 2022 ==

Hi there. I’ve been trying to update the cast list (which is very short) but the used Maxbmogs keeps deleting my cast edit. The first few times without a warning. I thhe sent him a text saying “hey just letting your know thwt  cast member is missing and they the film is coming out”, but he simply deleted it again saying there was no proof that I was a part the of the cast. I cited IMDb. Then he said that was not enojgh, then I let him know that I’m citied in the credits of the film and offered to send him my contract.  He then then undid my edit without a warning again…. Then I asked him what the issue was, then he responded that “nobody cared”. Wikipedia is supposed to be a public resource of data. Why does one single editor decide what is and what is not relevant for all the readers of world? Btw im cited on all other films I’ve worked on without a problem. 

Please let me know your thoughts.. [[User:NikolaLA9|NikolaLA9]] ([[User talk:NikolaLA9|talk]]) 05:19, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
:The cast mentioned in film articles are generally the major characters. Wikipedia is not IMDB and does not tend to list everybody associated with a production.

How do I reach the owner of the Cascade Caverns page (DLS Texas?)?  Sometime between 2018 and 2022, somebody obviously and mischievously posted that information about Dario Acevedo in an attempt to hurt our reputation (it looks like an anonymous post).  Before the other administrator edited it down, that post was filled with spelling errors and erroneous information ("multiple murders, strippers. etc.").  The remaining two lines are accurate but serve no constructive purpose (I became the new owner in 2009 and the former owners are all dead).  I fear this is going to happen again.  I'd like to alert the owner if I could.  We are focused on archaeology, biology and geology, not sensational headlines.

== Undoing edits - keeping bias text. Accident or intentional? ==

Why are you undoing edits to a clearly biased text on the germ theory denial page? Whoever wrote that text clearly has an opinion and is pushing it on readers - that's not impartial. Personally im fine with opposition. Im not really fine with essentially a censorship of speech - where one persons bias is allowed and another isn't - although in this case I've made no attempt to write opposing bias - rather keep the text impartial and yet you delete my edits and lower this device's ip address status on Wikipedia. I'm just wondering are you doing this blindly or intentionally?

A certain set of users (Dmytro91, Lute88 and others, plus a number of anonymous IPs) have been editing articles on Ukrainian musicians, as well as the places linked to them, without care for norms and without addressing issues pointed out to them by other users (me included). They have also resorted to labelling any dissent as "Russian propaganda" that "we in the West do not tolerate", which is perhaps even more annoying. I am assuming that they are Ukrainian and while I can sympathise with their predicament their incessant vandalism is contrary to the purpose of this encyclopedia, and their borderline abusive behaviour is hard to tolerate (and gives me second hand embarrassment). Is there any way to protect the articles from this? [[User:Ostalgia|Ostalgia]] ([[User talk:Ostalgia|talk]]) 00:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2019. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are almost caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply to let us know not to send you any more. -[[User:MPGuy2824|MPGuy2824]] ([[User talk:MPGuy2824|talk]]) 07:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

==Reverted edits: Legality of incest==
I tried to fix a problem in the article that I pointed out in the talk section about a month ago. Could you address it?
:We cannot say that something "seems to be legal because it is not expressly forbidden" as that would be [[WP:OR|original research]]. If a legal scholar has pointed it out then we could cite that, but it's not possible to say otherwise. <span style="color:DarkGray">...</span> [[User:discospinster|<span style="color:DarkOrange">'''disco'''</span><span style="color: #556B2F">'''''spinster'''''</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:discospinster|'''<span style="color:DarkGray">talk</span>''']]</sub> 20:35, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
I think that's sort of the problem I was trying to fix. Isn't it worse in the original version where just affirms it? I mean, look at the source.
:I'm not familiar with Argentine criminal law, is incest specifically addressed? <span style="color:DarkGray">...</span> [[User:discospinster|<span style="color:DarkOrange">'''disco'''</span><span style="color: #556B2F">'''''spinster'''''</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:discospinster|'''<span style="color:DarkGray">talk</span>''']]</sub> 20:57, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
AFAIK, no, except for marriage and sexual abuse. Regardless, I couldn't find any reliable source addressing it, so we can only read the relevant sections of the penal code and conclude it's omitted, hence it isn't prohibited, hence it's legal(ish); which I guess it amounts to bad verifiability. TBH, I was going to delete everything said in the article about Argentina and call for updating the map; but I tried to take a middle ground with what it was already there.

Thanks for the revert, according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Mount_Marty_University&oldid=1109569313 Plus if only that 'user' noticed that there is already a [[Mount Mary University]], but located in Wisconsin.

== Re [[User:ActorJosephGatt]] ==

Although there are definitely issues here, I don't consider his statement (if [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Gatt&diff=prev&oldid=1109755962 this] edit summary is the one you blocked him for) to be a legal threat.  The "litigation issues" he mentioned I understood to be in reference to his criminal case in California.

:Because the answer is a hoax and there are reliable sources that say so.

[[User:ST3Ducatic|ST3Ducatic]] ([[User talk:ST3Ducatic|talk]]) 22:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for the response. I have found numerous sources (NY Times, LA Times, photographers, and scientists) that all provide different explanations of how crop circles are created: hoaxers, artists, wind vortices, sunlight/shade, aircraft down draft, Ley Lines and associated electromagnetic forces, underground water currents, and things not of this earth (UFOs, UAPs, light orbs, aliens, ETs). The reliability of any one of these can and should be debated.

However I submit the scientific paper below that also references 9 other scientific papers:
<ref></ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280245462_An_Experimental_Study_for_Reproduction_of_Biological_Anomalies_Reported_in_the_Hoeven_1999_Crop_Circle_Eltjo_H_Haselhoff_Robert_J_Boerman_Jan-Willem_Bobbink_Journal_of_Scientific_Exploration_Vol_28_No#pf3

Please note that I am not endorsing any one these causes over the other, rather I find no definitive source that this is a "hoax by people". I respectfully request my edit that the cause is from an "unknown source" to stand and to delete the word "hoax" unless included in context with other proposed causes.
[[User:ST3Ducatic|ST3Ducatic]] ([[User talk:ST3Ducatic|talk]]) 22:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

:The source clearly calls it a hoax. References concerning crop circles in general do not have any relevance to the article in question. Please read [[WP:OR]] and [[WP:SYNTH]]. You appear to be trying to create a novel synthesis by bringing in these tangential references.
