Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:PGMS2.jpg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]], but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable.

Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

How can you be an editor on Conservapedia and wikipedia? They're like polar opposites. Besides Rationalwiki. [[User:Fungal vexation|Fungal vexation]] ([[User talk:Fungal vexation|talk]]) 15:10, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

{{od}}NJROTC, I've just come across the AN/I you felt you had enough of a grasp of to involve yourself in. Not only was your advice unconstructive, you managed to be [[WP:UNCIVIL]] towards the editor filing the complaint and, quite evidently, didn't bother to check the diffs properly, or even acquaint yourself with the content in dispute. Consequently, the ANI was closed by the reporting editor rather than having to face any more condescending suggestions and heckling from you. Only one administrator had the chance to weigh in, and other involved editors were denied the opportunity to discuss the new user's disruptive behaviour.

Considering that you don't edit in any controversial areas of Wikipedia, and that you insinuated yourself into an ANI regarding a new contributor to a [[WP:ARBEE]] area, I can't help but find myself wondering how you feel you are qualified to take over the incident report and harass the reporter. Essentially, you disrupted the process, did not [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]], and turned it into your personal [[WP:BATTLEGROUND|battleground]]. --[[User:Iryna Harpy|Iryna Harpy]] ([[User talk:Iryna Harpy|talk]]) 01:07, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
:I fail to see how choosing not to take sides in the content dispute (policy dispute, which ever you prefer to call it) constitutes assuming bad faith (I'm sure they both had good intentions), and I fail to see how suggesting the two editors discuss the matter rather than come to AN/I to try and get each other blocked/banned/topic banned/etc was disruptive, but I don't see the sense in arguing about it. Perhaps my choice of words could have been better, but I still don't see how anything I posted was [[WP:UNCIVIL]] towards any particular user. As for [[WP:BATTLEGROUND]], I don't see it. What I see is a content dispute that made its way over to [[WP:DRN|dispute resolution]], which, IMO, is the proper place for it (either there or ArbCom, since ArbCom is involved in the matter). At any rate, it's history now. I see there's another thread over at AN/I now.

::[[User:Beach drifter]] is at it again, I see. Yes, this is indeed what happens when someone edits as an anon to do his dirty work and then [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Beach drifter/Archive|gets away with it]] (and I fully believe the only reason he took responsibility for the IP's actions is because he knew it wouldn't end well if he didn't and a checkuser had to get involved). But that's ancient history now. That template was a [[WP:BOLD]] move, stating the truth, and I personally don't see anything wrong (or against policy) with it. Although school IP talk pages may be seen by thousands of users, I wouldn't consider them highly visible as compared with other pages on Wikipedia, some of which are seen by millions of people (the templates on school IP talk pages like {{tl|Shared IP edu}} are a different story). While [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]] isn't the best argument, well, [[Template:IBM IP|it does]]. I also distinctly remember another template that said something like "Why do you vandalize the wiki? You're just going to get your school blocked." But, if [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT|you don't like it]], I'm not going to stop you from deleting it; it's not worth an edit war.

::'''By the way''', I did link to policy in that template, both the vandalism policy and the blocking policy. Thing is, I would have linked to an official policy for dealing with schools, but there is no such policy. The only other appropriate policy I can think of to link to is [[WP:AGF]], and if anyone thinks that's being actively followed for school IPs, they are delusional (the attitude towards school IPs by admins is that all schools are filled with immature students and therefore need to be blocked; indeed kids will be kids and they're not completely wrong, but that's still not following assume good faith).

::::That page refers to a very specific type of problem, while those kind of IPs do much more than just that.

Would you consider removing your RfC? It really wasn't properly formatted (there was no specific point to be discussed).

I've added criticism (and pushed to add more) to [[RationalWiki]]. I've disclosed my COI on every post. Yet you repeatedly accuse me of [[WP:SPAMMER]] & [[WP:PROMOTION]] and threaten me with [[WP:COIN]] & [[WP:ANI]].

I had hoped the discussion on [[Talk:Vaginal steaming]] would yield consensus on RW's status under [[WP:ELNO]], [[WP:ELYES]], [[WP:ELMAYBE]]. Instead it is bogged down with your back-and-forth and your incessant links to WP policy & "embarassing" RW pages.

== Re: [[WP:BITE]] ==

imo I think if one user did generally the same kind of edit after a warning is already given, a "more strict" warning should be added to let this user realized it is '''really''' inappropriate for its edit. Is my thinking incorrect? But I think I also should think maybe a few of my warning is too strict in this point... --[[User_talk:Stang|'''<span style="font-family: Cursive;"><span style="color: #F50;">Stang</span></span>''']] 13:53, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|Stang}} For one thing it's [[Broward County Public Schools]], one of the largest school districts in the United States, so prior edits probably aren't the same person that did the most recent edit. For another thing, it's probably just some middle or high school kid messing around, not someone on a plot to undermine the encyclopedia; since they're not plastering people's names on articles or anything, I think one level one warning should suffice for now (usually with schools if someone posts something really bad I call and report it rather than go for a widespread block, but that's just me).

== IP hard blocks soft blocks and sunny side over ==

Heya, Seemed like a conversation not-too-relevant to the RFA, so I thought we could continue here. If you're running into issues with hardblocks (it sounds like you have) - [[WP:IPBE]] is always an option. I 100% understand not wanting your IP to be out there - '''especially''' if it's possibly something that gives away an employer. If you have the need for IPBE, I am more than happy to talk privately about granting that right. I wasn't sure if you were aware that this option is out there - and any admin can grant it. Feel free to email me if you want - I'm happy to help. [[User:SQL|<span style="font-size:7pt;color: #fff;background:#900;border:2px solid #999">SQL</span>]][[User talk:SQL|<sup style="font-size: 5pt;color:#999">Query me!</sup>]] 02:49, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
:Thank you for that. Actually, I was aware of the process to get a hard block exemption, but fortunately the only time I ran into the problem was from a wi-fi hotspot, and I didn't have a great enough need to edit from there to request one or request the IP block be reduced to a softblock. Because I don't care to discuss the matter with the person in question and create unproductive drama (in my experience here, people get mad when I question their blocks whether it's on their own talk page or elsewhere), I'm not going to name him unless I have to, but I was looking over one of the CheckUser's blocks and I noticed quite a few hardblocks issued. I'm a checkuser on Conservapedia, so I can appreciate the need to sometimes hardblock, but I don't want to see average administrators start blocking IPs with thousands of users because apparently no one legitimately edits from there or few people legitimately edit from there. Just because no one edits from there now doesn't mean a newcomer might desire to ''start'' editing from there, and the harder we make it for newcomers, the less likely they are going to be bothered creating an account. Chances are, no one edited from my home IP a month ago because it belonged to someone else then, but that changed when it got assigned to me. I don't know if anyone else edits from my employer's IP or not, but it is softblocked and is shared by thousands of people. One ''good'' side effect of the softblock is that it nearly eliminates the chances of the IP being subject to an autoblock, but it also reduces the chances of us getting newcomers from there. Once upon a time, there were more than one person legitimately editing with accounts from [[Charlotte County Public Schools]] and the Charlotte County Library System, but now people rarely even edit from the Charlotte County Library System anonymously, and I doubt anyone else editing with accounts there either, so when we actually do get newcomers, I don't think we should be discouraging them.

It's hard to know where silliness starts or ends sometimes in this rather odd place... you are indeed accurate in one point, but then cultural mores are so weird, from the perspective people who are not of some cultures see offence and stupidity in what are not in their culture, and so on... thanks for identifying the silliness, in fifteen years only two quite valid trout slaps is hardly a statistical tendency, but then... whatever that arose from - good hunting!  may you find more to root out!!  it seemed that your identification has seen the subsequent block, so well done...

:{{ping|JarrahTree}} No problem, nobody is perfect and I've had my share of [[WP:TROUT]] in my 15 years as well.

== New Wikipedia Page ==
I am looking to publish a new Wikipedia page. It is the Arlin R. Horton Sports Center ([[User:Wjenkins96/sandbox]]). I don't have any associations with the college, rather I'd heard about this facility through another website that ranked their waterpark as the #1 college campus waterpark. I saw that you took photos of the facility, and I have chosen three of them for the proposed article. The reasons why I think this would qualify for a Wikipedia page are that the arena portion has over 3,100 seats (more than sixty NCAA Division I arenas), and because the waterpark features were ranked #1 on the article that I found (as seen in one of the sources on the page). Also, their [[Bob Jones University|rival school]] has Wikipedia articles for both their soccer stadium and basketball court. If you are wondering how I got to a capacity of 3,196 for the arena, feel free to consult me and I'll explain. [[User:Wjenkins96|Wjenkins96]] ([[User talk:Wjenkins96|talk]]) 18:51, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|Wjenkins96}} nice work so far! I don't really have any tie to PCC other than I considered going there a few years ago, and I was unaware of the specifics, but I do know it is a quite impressive facility.

== Food courts ==

Hey.

I stumbled upon the [[food court]] article while searching for other possible notable alumni or faculty at Port Charlotte High School. At first I was very confused but once I saw the photo I knew it had to be you who put it there, and as I suspected it was in fact you.

Coincidentally, I have also visited the food court featured in the first picture in Montréal. Because of you I have somehow visited and ate at 50% of the food courts featured as pictures in this article.

I just thought it was funny and I felt like sharing. Have a wonderful day/night! [[User:Raskuly|Raskuly]] ([[User talk:Raskuly|talk]]) 03:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

== RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I ==

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review|2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review]] is now '''no longer accepting new proposals'''. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|RfA]]'s structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 2: Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA|Proposal 2]]''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, provides for the addition of a text box at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]] reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 3: Add three days of discussion before voting (trial)|Proposals 3]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 3b: Make the first two days discussion-only (trial)|3b]]''', initiated by {{noping|Barkeep49}} and {{noping|Usedtobecool}}, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 4: Prohibit threaded discussion (trial)|Proposal 5]]''', initiated by {{noping|SilkTork}}, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2024_review/Phase_I#Proposal 6c: Provisional adminship via sortition (admin nomination)|Proposals 6c]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/2024_review/Phase_I#Proposal 6d: Provisional adminship via sortition (criteria to be determined)|6d]]''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 7: Threaded General Comments|Proposal 7]]''', initiated by {{noping|Lee Vilenski}}, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 9b: Require links for claims of specific policy violations|Proposal 9b]]''', initiated by {{noping|Reaper Eternal}}, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 12c: Lower the high end of the bureaucrats' discretionary zone from 75% to 70%|Proposals 12c]]''', '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 21: Reduce threshold of consensus at RfA|21]]''', and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 21b: Slightly reduce threshold of consensus at RfA|21b]]''', initiated by {{noping|City of Silver}}, {{u|Ritchie333}}, and {{u|HouseBlaster}}, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 13: Admin elections|Proposal 13]]''', initiated by {{noping|Novem Lingaue}}, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 14: Suffrage requirements|Proposal 14]]''', initiated by {{noping|Kusma}}, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16: Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs|Proposals 16]]''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16c: Community recall process based on dewiki|16c]]''', initiated by {{noping|Thebiguglyalien}} and {{noping|Soni}}, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|administrators' noticeboard]]; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 16e: Allow the community to initiate recall RfBs|Proposal 16e]]''', initiated by {{noping|BilledMammal}}, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 17: Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions|Proposal 17]]''', initiated by {{noping|SchroCat}}, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 18: Normalize the RfB consensus requirements|Proposal 18]]''', initiated by {{noping|theleekycauldron}}, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 24: Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process|Proposal 24]]''', initiated by {{noping|SportingFlyer}}, provides for a more robust alternate version of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll|optional candidate poll]].
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 25: Require nominees to be extended confirmed|Proposal 25]]''', initiated by {{noping|Femke}}, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 27: Introduce training/periodic retraining for admins|Proposal 27]]''', initiated by {{noping|WereSpielChequers}}, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I#Proposal 28: limiting multi-part questions|Proposal 28]]''', initiated by {{noping|HouseBlaster}}, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals]]. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

== Your name ==

Has your name ever been challenged? It would appear to violate our standards around impersonation... PCHS-NJROTC would appear to suggest that this account is representing the Port Charlotte High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps outfit and I'm wondering if there was ever a community consensus to give you an exception? I'm also wondering whether you have a COI with Port Charlotte High School based on the name and editing history. [[User:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|Horse Eye&#39;s Back]] ([[User talk:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|talk]]) 16:17, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
:There is a declared connection on [[Talk:Port Charlotte High School]] and the connection is that I graduated from there in 2010. My original user name was GO-PCHS-NJROTC, which I changed because I later felt that was too promotional (and the change was approved at the time). I made the account years ago and selected the name because I decided I didn't want to use the same name I used at the time on other platforms because I did not want flame wars (which seemed to be common at the time) spreading across multiple platforms. I would have more of a COI editing school articles from Sarasota County because I work for them, and therefore they have the power to retaliate if I write something negative, although I can create another account for that under [[WP:SOCKLEGIT]] if I ever think I'm going to have any problems with that (or I can just go use a wi-fi hotspot somewhere and edit as an IP). I actually want to change my user name to "PCHS Pirate Alumnus" as it keeps me associated with the identity I have held on Wikipedia since 2008 while not giving the impression that I am a high school student or an ROTC instructor. I just have never gotten around to submitting a request for it, for the same reasons I haven't tackled numerous article building projects I want to take on. [[User:PCHS-NJROTC|<span style="color: red; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">PCHS-NJROTC</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:PCHS-NJROTC|<span style="color: black; font-family: Comic Sans MS;">(Messages)Have a blessed day.</span>]]</sup> 16:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
::I would get around to it, it still is a bright line violation of [[WP:ORGNAME]]. I would also warn against editing the Port Charlotte High School page directly, editors with COIs are supposed to make talk page edit requests rather than edit the article directly. Both together put you in some pretty serious jeopardy "A user who ''both'' adopts a promotional username and who engages in inappropriate advertising or promotional edits or behaviors – especially when made to their own user space or to articles about the company, group, or product – can be blocked from editing Wikipedia, and are often blocked much sooner than users who engage in only one of the two behaviors." [[User:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|Horse Eye&#39;s Back]] ([[User talk:Horse Eye&#39;s Back|talk]]) 16:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
:::I submitted the request as we speak. People with connections to a subject are encouraged, but not required, to use the talk page. Please review [[WP:COIEDIT]]. Whenever I am in question as to whether I am biased about something, I request a second opinion. For example, I really wanted to delete the bit about the transgender person suing [[Liberty University]] in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Liberty_University&diff=prev&oldid=1251873182 recent edit], but because I know there is potential for bias as a graduate from Liberty, I decided to mention Liberty's doctrinal positions on transgenders in a factual, straightforward manner instead. In the past I have been told by [[User:Spintendo]] that I was more cautious than I needed to be when editing [[The Gideons International]] (which I also have a connection with as an unpaid member). If I can make contribute to an article about an organization I am actively involved in without problem, I can contribute to an article about an institution I am 14 years removed from without problem. But I appreciate your comments.

:::::I am going to withdraw from this discussion now, which I find to be nonconstructive at this point. If you have an issue with my editing of an article, which brought it from start class to [[WP:Good articles|good article status]], you are free to take the matter to [[WP:COIN]] (and probably get yourself a [[WP:TROUT|fish dinner]] as I have in the past for less-silly complaints).
