::::All three accounts either have no previous activity, or have had their last activity long before I joined (friendly reminder I joined on the 15th this month, or 8 days ago). I find it extremely suspicious that three IPs with no recent activity, and no obvious connection to my cleaning up of vandalism, just randomly decides to make edits like that - they're probably connected in some other way. Two of those edits also use a writing style that's extremely similar (socks?). I'm aware protecting has consequences, but I don't know what those are, so I'm not able to make a decision - at least not yet. I haven't done anything beyond rolling back because I had and still have no idea where those kinds of things are best reported. I didn't warn all of them because they appear to be disposeable accounts (no further activity on any of them).

I have just seen [[User:Dlohcierekim/nua]], and your use of it at [[User talk:Petrmani]]. Thanks for the acknowledgement, but I think a big prominent link to a user space page, all in three-letter acronyms, is unlikely to be helpful to a new user. At the best they will follow the link, taking up time and achieving nothing, and at worst they will will feel intimidated by seeing yet another thing that they don't understand to add to the other aspects of editing Wikipedia that are new and puzzling to them. I'm not too worried about being having attribution, but can I suggest that if you do want to give attribution then a hidden comment would be better? [[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]] ([[User talk:JamesBWatson|talk]]) 13:00, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
:{{done}} 

Actually, on second thoughts I quite like the ability to occasionally check if pages I have created have been used, which doesn't work with hidden comments. I thought of creating a z-template, but I'm not sure about the propriety of using one for a user page. Perhaps it doesn't matter, or perhaps the content of the page could be copied into template space. Anyway, even if neither of those is done I still regard not being able to trace it as better than having a prominent link on new users' talk pages. 
While I was considering the possibility of a z-template I discovered that you created {{tl|Z184}} but didn't add it to [[Template:Z number doc#List of assigned z number templates]], so I have taken the liberty of doing so. <small><small>Please don't hit me if you didn't want me to do that.</small></small> [[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]] ([[User talk:JamesBWatson|talk]]) 14:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

*Z number templates (which I abbreviated to "z-template") are fairly obscure, and probably not many people know about them, and I assumed you did only because I mistakenly thought you had created one. A z number template is a template with a name like {{tl|Z1}}, {{tl|Z2}}, {{tl|Z184}}, etc and no content at all except a link to [[Template:Z number doc]], which explains all about z number templates, but the idea is as follows. Suppose you want to know where some template is used, say [[Template:Uw-spamublock]]. Transclusions can be found by [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Uw-spamublock]], but that will not list pages where the template is subst-ed. However, the text of [[Template:Uw-spamublock]] includes <nowiki></nowiki>, so [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Z17]] will show all pages where the template has been used, whether by transclusion or by subst. (Probably not very useful for a template used on such a large number of pages as Uw-spamublock, but it can be useful for tracing uses of less commonly used templates.)

Hi Dlohcierekim. I saw that you moved [[Manish Raj Pandey]] to draft space in early June [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Manish_Raj_Pandey&oldid=900569602] as the article was only sourced to wikipedia. Another user (who I suspect as being a sock of a blocked user) moved the article to main space and made no changes to it [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Manish_Raj_Pandey&direction=next&oldid=900569602]. I moved the article back [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Manish_Raj_Pandey&direction=next&oldid=908735983], but unfortunately I do not have the ability to do so without leaving a re-direct.

Clearly, a customer made a hate tweet by refusing to accept food delivery from a ''non-Hindu'' delivery executive and this incident draws wide support when the food delivering company cancelled the order. Now, some people are trying to shame this company for taking stand against such bigotry.

Hi, my name is Ido Kislev.
In the past few weeks, I’ve edited the draft of Aleph Farms based on the comments I saw. I really want to avoid late date review and be canceled and then wait to review again after more 8 weeks. Do you mind looks over the draft and see what I need to change for acceptation? Also, is there any way to get the draft review?

== Hat trick ==

You hatted part of my original appeal text at [[WP:AN]] when you hatted BMK's reply/discussion.  Can you fix please?  Note that I carefully avoided anything about his intent or malevolence that he introduces there. [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 15:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

== Dicklyon ==

Hi.

I didn't mind when you hatted my comment in the current AN discussion on the grounds of "moving on", especially since I had no intention of further participation, but now I find that Dicklyon is referring to those hatted comments, and I have the choice of either going back on my intention and getting involved again -- which I really don't want to do -- or suffer Dicklyon's slings and arrows, making me into the bad guy he can bitch about without consequences.

I don't think that's fair.

Would you consider either unhatting my comment, or convincing Dicklyon to re-write his comment without me as the big bad wolf?  After all, there was no numerical consensus to indef him, but 10 editors did !vote for it, with 2 others opting for a topic ban, vs. <s>12</s> 14 who opposed, so it's not as if the community rose up as one and struck me down in indignation for my audacity. It's not BMK vs. Dicklyon, and it was '''''never''''' BMK vs. Dicklyon, and my name should not be bandied about when I've decided not to participate in order that we "move on". 

Thanks for thinking about it. [[User:Beyond My Ken|Beyond My Ken]] ([[User talk:Beyond My Ken|talk]]) 05:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I noticed that the editor that was banned that resulted in those articles deletions’ edit history of a deleted draft they made prior to being blocked was merged into [[Draft:Untitled The Matrix sequel]]. I know it’s typically protocol to erase those edit histories, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to have their edit history removed from the draft?

{{reply|Rusted AutoParts}} At first blush, I'd think we need to keep the edit history for attribution if it contains earlier revisions of the page.-- <b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span>]][[User talk:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:red">fried</span>]][[Special:UserRights/Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:gold">okra</span>]]  </b> 17:32, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
:I suppose. It’s a bit of a weird thing cause it’s mostly just copy and paste content that I also did when I created the next version of the page. [[User:Rusted AutoParts|<span style="font-family:Rockwell; color:red"><i>Rusted AutoParts</i></span>]] 18:39, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

== Genesis Institute ==

Hey Deepfriedokra,

What would you recommend I do with [[Genesis Institute]]. It was originally created as a disambiguation page and seemingly hijacked by an SPA (who hasn't edited since 2016) (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Genesis_Institute&diff=696058885&oldid=596553783] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Genesis_Institute&diff=791813358&oldid=777749298]). The article was pure fluff sourced only to the company's website. I recently reverted an IP adding gems like "From the time of its inception, the institute has taken immense pride in having trained thousands of students – intrinsically demonstrating a high level of quality and commitment to training in the region" and "Our world-class ecosystem allows you to access our expertise even outside the classroom through round the clock trainer and student relations support." Would an AfD be best here or a page merge since it was hijacked? [[User:HickoryOughtShirt?4|HickoryOughtShirt?4]] ([[User talk:HickoryOughtShirt?4|talk]]) 21:25, 4 September 2019 (UTC) 
:{{reply|HickoryOughtShirt?4}} At first blush, I'd revert to the original.  If the 2nd version is notable, I'd separate the two and move the 2nd one to a new article. Or, separate the two and AfD the [[WP:ARTSPAM|ARTSPAM]] page. If the 2nd is G11 and you think that would fly, revert, protect, and revdel the ARTSPAM. If there's a hint of notability, AfD.

== Recent history restorations ==
This is a copy of the talk page message I left on [[User:Anthony Appleyard]]’s page in regards to some recent requests for history restorations made by a potential suspicious IP:

I’m concerned recently that the history restorations/merges of [[Draft:Gladiator 2 (film)]], [[Draft:Baby Driver 2]] and [[Draft:Your Name (upcoming film)]] that were requested by the IP address {{user5|70.21.181.186}} were very specific requests. These edit histories were deleted when the draft creators [[User:Hayholt]], [[User:Artix Kreiger]] and [[User:TheGreenTower]] were blocked for sock puppetry, with the first two being socks of [[User:Winterysteppe]].

== Legal threat on [[ESPN]] ==

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I'm not exactly sure how to deal with [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=ESPN&diff=prev&oldid=916245394 this]. I reverted and warned the IP about legal threats. Should the edit/edit summary be deleted from the history? Thanks for any help in advance.

Howdy Sherrif, a few weeks ago you dealt with this editor User talk:LightFromABrightStar. Now we have User talk:CherryBlossomsInTheNight causing trouble for [[User:Doug Weller]]. I assume that this is the same IP. I discovered this new user because, despite you advising LightFromABrightStar to do no further edits without reaching consensus on the [[Origin of the domestic dog]], CherryBlossomsInTheNight did just that.

== Cleanup thoroughly? ==
I have just deleted pages created by [[user:EFarda]], [[user:Supriya Sharma MHC]] and [[user:Risingfreemovie]]. In each case you had applied a speedy tag to one of the user's pages and then gone on to block them. If your thinking was that you always like someone else to have a second opinion on a deletion, then I thoroughly agree with you. But I think in cases like these, if you have been bold enough to block the user than you can be equally bold and delete their rubbish speedily. — [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] ([[User talk:RHaworth|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/RHaworth|contribs]]) 12:02, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
:{{tps}} {{u|RHaworth}} and '''Deepfriedokra''': Opinions on this vary considerably. {{u|DGG}}, for example, rarely if ever speedily deletes a page off his own bat rather than tagging it to be considered by another administrator. (At least that's how it seemed to be years ago, but his editing and mine overlap much less nowadays than they used to, so his practice may have changed.) At the other end of the spectrum are some administrators who cheerfully apply IAR and unilaterally speedily delete pages even when they '''must''' be aware that doing so is not only unsupported by the speedy deletion policy but also against what consensus would be if there were a discussion. (I have in mind one particular administrator, but I won't name him unless and until I decide his actions warrant a report at ANI, which I may do sooner or later.) My own view is that taking up two administrators' time on a task instead of one means that there is one other task the second administrator could have done in the time and doesn't, and there is always a backlog of admin tasks, some of which never get dealt with, so I regard it as more constructive to delete things unilaterally ''if I am confident they should be deleted'', and tag for a second opinion only if I have doubts. [[User:JBW|JBW]] ([[User talk:JBW|talk]]) <small>''Formerly known as JamesBWatson''</small> 21:10, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

:::{{yo|RHaworth|JBW}} Indeed, like DGG, I prefer checks and balances and will sometimes tag rather than deleting myself. I arrive at such pages by checking contribs of editors whose work I have have already CSD'd or by checking contribs of those reported at UAA-- presumably the page was reviewed by the reporting user and not tagged. So there is a hint of a doubt. Or perhaps they did not go that far into thoroughness. I never ask.  Like DGG, I am seldom declined and am seldom reversed at DRV. Ironically, one of the DRV reversals occurred after I honored one of his tags. 

:::I have a higher threshold for honoring CSD tags than some, and I should imagine some have a higher threshold than I. SoWhy comes to mind as someone I think has a higher threshold than I. So if I have a doubt or am uncertain as to the salvage potential for a promotional page, I like a second opinion.

:::So why SPAMU block the said editor? Because the editor had a promotional user name and created a promotional page. Whether or not it could be rewritten instead of  being the deleted is a separate question. And ''that'' is the one for which I needed a second opinion. Also, I could have been wrong in the first instance. I hate ''apologizing'', but might have owed them an apology even so. 

:::As to wasting time, I'm sorry if anyone feels time is wasted. I seldom feel my time is wasted when I go through all of a blocked editor's contribs looking for more problems. Could the reporting of user have done so? Likely. Perhaps they also felt the crush of time and simply moved on or had some other pressing matter. And then there's the maxim, "measure twice and cut once". Or double check. Because even more time wasting than checking CSD's for accuracy is being reversed at DRV. The listing, the discussion, the chastising, and then the inevitable reversal (followed by an apology) are time consuming for several people. (There are a number of users whose taggings I no longer consider because I've gotten reversed for CSDing something that might even have been kept a AfD. Looking for a good version is ''de rigueur'', and sometimes I miss a good revision that could have been reverted to. More wasted time.)

:::So yes, if I read a page and it's promotional, but my delete reflex isn't triggered, I will likely seek a second opinion by tagging only.-- <b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span>]][[User talk:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:red">fried</span>]][[Special:UserRights/Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:gold">okra</span>]]  </b> 13:23, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
:::: Yes, everything you say makes sense, and it's really a question of emphasis, and where to draw the line, rather than real disagreement. I will just make a comment relating to one of the things you mentioned. I have rarely had deletions I have made taken to DRV, but on a significant proportion of those rare occasions I have not contested the challenge, but just reversed my deletion. While CSD, unlike PROD, is not only for deletions which nobody contests, if there is any reasonable disagreement then insisting on keeping the page deleted is not worth doing, in my opinion. (Of course it's a different matter when it seems to me to be a matter of ''un''reasonable disagreement.) [[User:JBW|JBW]] ([[User talk:JBW|talk]]) <small>''Formerly known as JamesBWatson''</small> 16:05, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

:::I think it is almost never a good idea to delete single handed. I have sometimes done so when it's a matter of removing a self-disclosing page by a child, or obvious vandalism, but otherwise i think it always safer not to.  I think that I make very few  mistakes, but with over 40,000 deletions,  if I make only 1% errors that would amount to 400 wrongly deleted articles. My mistakes are generally those where another admin does not think  it quite as obvious as I did, but I have also made a few misinterpretations and --if I try to do too many at once--downright errors. The operational meaning of ''obvious'' is that all other admins would agree also;  the only way to tell that is to see if others actually do, so I do not think that anyone has justification to assume it.    Quite apart from the possibility of error, it adds strength to the decision to delete to be able to say that two people agreed.   I agree with {{U|JBW}} that there's no point in insisting on a speedy deletion.-- and I'd even say it's unjust to do so, because we have no authority except as the community agrees with us. If the other party is absurd, the only chance of their understanding is if several other people tell them.
:::The only reason we do not have an absolute rule against it is that it's proved difficult to define the exemptions. 
:::There are many fewer admins deleting single handed than there used to be. If I encounter one still doing it, I've been known to try to persuade them otherwise and for some cases, I've succeeded. JBW, if you are still doing that, it's time you changed also.  It's not that I think you make mistakes, for I think you rarely do, but that it shows a degree of confidence that nobody here should take upon themselves,  as WP is a place dedicated to the principle that we do not decide by authority.)

== New GAMA Platform page ==

Hello,

You removed my previous draft about the GAMA Platform ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gama_Platform ) because it contains some unwanted advertisements. 

I've been working hard on it and I would like to submit it again, but (to avoid being deleted again) I would like you to take a look on it and tell me what you think about that new page and if you think that there's still some stuff to change.

Regards

== Question about User Pages ==

Hi. I have a question, and I want to see if your answer confirms what I suspect about it - is there any such thing as acquiring points on your User Page on Wikipedia, which would increase and decrease when you do editing on articles? An editor who made some disruptive edits (and who I warned them about these), who is claiming some IP did them in his place (I suspect from using their account, which seems... far-fetched), stated this in response to a reply I made, stating that I believed their argument and reason for the edits were not honest ones. I assume he is making false claims, and need to verify this part as the same. [[User:GUtt01|GUtt01]] ([[User talk:GUtt01|talk]]) 16:01, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

{{reply|GUtt01}} If someone other than the user used their account to edit, then that account is [[Wikipedia:Compromised accounts|compromised]] and should be blocked. I have never heard of being awarded points for editing, ''per se''.-- <b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span>]][[User talk:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:red">fried</span>]][[Special:UserRights/Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:gold">okra</span>]]  </b> 16:13, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

== Deletion of Draft:Sanfine International Hospital / Submission decline ==

Hi, I have been AFK for a while, and logged back on to see my one page contribution had been rejected. I wanted to discuss and inform you addressing your reasoning.

Multiple (rules, looks like laws even) things all following the same theme that you had made up in your mind were used in your explanation, "blatant advertising" "needs to be fundamentally rewritten", "conflict of interest" "PAID", etc.

I am not affiliated with the hospital. It does seem you made up your mind that I am. Please prove that, me, the author of the article, is connected to the hospital. I was just trying to contribute a better, non-promotional looking hospital article, for people who are trying to find a hospital in Beijing.

If you were traveling or living abroad, wouldn't you like to be able to find a hospital where you are? My page was a contribution that puts a level of safety and trust in [Wikipedia], but your removal of my page takes away from that trust.

I will reference a page for you: wiki/List_of_hospitals_in_Beijing

This is where I started. That was the hospital I knew. I am an expat in Beijing, trying to contribute on a platform that recently got blocked here, but that many expats frequently use. Most of the other hospitals in the list are written much more promotionally, please check them. They all have warnings, YET they still stand. But mine was written and edited many times and I followed the feedback I received, I got rid of the more promotional items. And my page was declined. Please tell me why the others are not deleted as well. I focused heavily on the references being from outside sources. It looks more like other hospitals PAID Wikipedia.

I do think it's a double standard that you have contributed to with your decision. I also think that it is edits like this that turn away editors and further harms the reliability of the platform. The message you send is that hospitals are not notable. Your response to that will be just that this hospital is not notable, but I would like you to check your ethnocentrism.  

Comment added by [[User:Wnkwdy|Wnkwdy]] ([[User talk:Wnkwdy#top|talk]]
:{{reply|Wnkwdy}} My deletion notice was about the content. Please read and heed the information on how to write a non promotional page. Certainly, from reading the page, it bears some of the attributes of conflict of interest and paid editing. If you do not have a conflict of interest and do no meet [[WP:PAID]] then there Is nothing you need do.  I was merely informing you of the need for you to comply with Wikipedia's rules if you are. Sorry if asking you to comply with the same rules we all are to follow upset you.

:Wikipedia is not a travel guide for one to find a hospital near where someone is traveling.  I cannot help if other promotional pages exist. That is no reason to add more. The AfC reviewer tagged it as promotional and I deleted it as such. If you feel that was done in error, please seek restoration at [[WP:DRV]]. 
:Sorry you think I'm ethnocentric. How do you know what my ethnic center is? Where do you think it lies? No, looking at the thing again, you really need to remove the promotional language before you try again. Did you follow the informational links? They are there to help you write in a non promotional manner

:I'm one of the few admins who explains why I deleted a page and offers advice on how to avoid deletion Sorry you find this unhelpful. Removing promotional pages does, actually, not hurt Wikipedia's reliability.. My first creation was deleted too. It's harder than people think. Perhaps, if you wish to help build Wikipedia,  you could start with small improvements, gain experience, and grow into editing.

== Urgent Help - Editor pestering me ==

I got an editor pestering me. I've been reverting a number of edits they made on an article, because they were both unhelpful and not constructive; I think they were also using an IP to do the same thing before using their registered user. I tried advising them to be careful, but after blanking the message I sent to their user's talk page, I am now getting them starting to send a ridiculous message, and putting it back in when I keep removing it, because of hjow silly and stupid it is, to the point they are now becoming a nuisance. Can you do me two things, please?

# Can you put my User Page and Talk Page under edit-confirmation protection for a few months? I want to avoid having someone harassing me like this.
# Can you warn the user not to proceed in this manner, unless you feel his actions justify a suspension?

Re [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Benetembry&diff=prev&oldid=930241636 this]. Maybe I'm just feeling sentimental but I don't think I have ever properly thanked you or any of the other admins who helped me so much when I was new. I started editing because of an Edit-A-Thon but it was run by people who edit maybe, once or twice a week. It was you, and a few others, who really made editing this encyclopedia worthwhile.

I ask you to please further review your changes to [[Home Alone (franchise)]] and the Talk page discussion too please. 

I know Anon IP editors have a bad reputation and are often to blame but in this case I am the one who was restoring the STATUSQUO and [[User:DisneyMetalhead]] is claiming he can make exceptions to [[WP:USERGENERATED]] and add unreliable information such as Audience score from IMDB (and others) to a film franchise article. 

If you look at the article from a week ago, a month, ago and a year ago you will see that status quo did not include the changes [[User:DisneyMetalhead]] made to article. Reverting to his version was not the neutral position. 

If you look at the edit history you will see that the changes made by [[User:DisneyMetalhead]] were [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Home_Alone_(franchise)&diff=930651381&oldid=930502896 first reverted not by me but by another user] [[User:Prefall]] for ignoring [[WP:UGC]]. It was only after [[User:DisneyMetalhead]] repeated the same edit that I reverted and asked him to discuss and I started the talk page discussion. He only belatedly responded to with more assertions that he is allowed to make exceptions because. 

If you disagree with [[WP:USERGENERATED]] and think that there is good reason to make an exception and include unreliable sources such as IMDB polls in the [[Home Alone (franchise)]] article then please do add your comments to the talk page discussion but [[User:DisneyMetalhead]] wants to ignore that rule, and I am asking for him to discuss first and establish that he at least has someone else say they agree with him before he does so. I don't think I'm asking very much by expecting him to follow [[WP:BRD]] if he wants to break [[WP:UGC]]. -- [[Special:Contributions/109.79.165.65|109.79.165.65]] ([[User talk:109.79.165.65|talk]]) 19:34, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

== Dabangg 3 pending changes ==

Hey there, would you mind terribly if I bumped up the protection at [[:Dabangg 3]] from pending change to semi? I typically find that semi-protecting high-profile Indian films in the first three weeks tends to stall a lot of disruption and doesn't require much of the community's time.

== LaShawn Daniels Protection  ==

Hello, 

I noticed your response in regards to my request to protect the LaShawn Daniels wikipedia page. Would the "Biographies of living persons" page apply to LaShawn Daniels considering he is deceased? I have noticed that there has already been false information provided on his wikipedia page and that someone has recently deleted a large portion of information from his page. To preserve the integrity of the person he was and promote '''the goal of an encyclopedia, which is to provide accurate information''', it appears that the best way to ensure both is to protect this page in some capacity. While full protection might not be possible, is there another form of protection that would be applicable given the nature of who he was (a high-profile, songwriter in the music industry) and the nature of the circumstances (the page being needlessly edited multiple times)? [[User:Okramber|Okramber]] ([[User talk:Okramber|talk]]) 02:31, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
:{{reply|Okramber}}  I think so-- newly dead. This is an editorial dispute with you being in the position of having an external conflict of interest. You should bring up problems with content  and sourcing on the talk page, [[WP:BLP]], and then seek [[WP:dispute resolution]]. [[WP:BLP]] is the best tool available to you as it demands the highest quality sourcing, Also, you mention children and dates of birth. We should not include children's names and date of births to protect their privacy and to prevent identity theft, unless these are covered in strong reliable sources.'''Not public records'''. If the news media have covered their names and dates of birth already, that cat's out of the bag already. There's more, but I need to go back to bed. I will look at the page and watclhist it Thursday, when I'm back. Be sure to address your concerns on the article talk page. That's the starting point from which you can proceed.-- <b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span>]][[User talk:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:red">fried</span>]][[Special:UserRights/Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:gold">okra</span>]]  </b> 19:12, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

== Can I pick your brain about this? ==

In asking for guidance, I am pointedly not seeking for your commentary on the article in question, ''[[The Mandalorian]]''. Not sure if you are a watcher, or even a ''Star Wars'' fan, but in the season of the finale, the Bad Guy escapes his crashed ship by cutting a hole in the hull of the ship with a a weird-looking black sword with a white outline. I thought it reminded me of [[Stormbringer]], the evil sword from Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone series of books. Or maybe a vibroblade or something. <br>
Apparently, there is a unique thing that looks like this in the Star Wars universe, called the [[Darksaber]]. That said, it wasn't identified within the episode (the primary source). It wasn't identified via anyone associated with the series (cast crew, studio, etc.). Some reviewers suggested it was such, which is what editors wanting to identify the sword have glommed onto, and think that avalanching a consensus is going to trump Synthesis. They are taking fan information from several different movies and series and extrapolating that the unidentified item they say is this thing. Without the primary source identifying it as such. <br>
Now, I don't mind if someone writes an article about the episode and notes what the sources are saying, but - until someone ''associated with the series'' says so - it can't be in an article ''about the series'', and especially not in an edit summary.<br>
My problem now is that the other editors in the article are saying that, because the sources suggest it is this Darksaber thingie, it isn't Synthesis at all. Furthermore, consensus will determine whether it should be in the article, OR and SYN be damned.<br>
Thoughts?  - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:40, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
:I don't think consensus trumps policy. This is an encyclopedia-- not a fan site. I saw the post at AN. Unless an admin determines consensus, no one can say, "we out-voted you. Consensus is ours". Consensus is not a vote. Hopefully,  some AN regulars will opine. In the end, you might need to say, "can't 'em all, even when your right" and let them have there wway. Sorry, I'm fr bed.-- <b>[[User:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:black">Deep</span>]][[User talk:Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:red">fried</span>]][[Special:UserRights/Deepfriedokra|<span style="color:gold">okra</span>]]  </b> 19:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
::Believe me, I've had my share of those 'can't win 'em all' situations as well, most recently trying to point out that the DC Universe and the DC Extended universe are not interchangeable terms (it was a back-and-forth about Reeves' 2021 Batman film being part of the DCEU).
