Guideline and policy news

A request for comment is in progress to remove the T2 (template that misrepresents established policy) speedy deletion criterion.

Technical news

Protection templates on mainspace pages are now automatically added by User:MusikBot II (BRFA).

Arbitration

Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community.
The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.

I need your help

There is an article that needs your experience, someone highly recommend you. The article is Tendencia band. I would like you to see it and help to improve it for having it approved in Wikipedia. I know it needs a lot if work, but I can give you better references, and help with the translation, because they are in Spanish mostly. But again, someone said you are the best. I hope you can help... Kubanische (talk) 07:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but too little time. I have a list of articles I am working on, including many translations, so time is short. Also I do not do bands as I know little to nothing of the genre. You failed to add a link to it, to make it easy to find, lithe this: Draft:Tendencia. -- Alexf^(talk) 10:17, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TPA revocation

Hey Alexf, would it be possible to revoke TPA for CorryGiles (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? Thanks in advance. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:39, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Alexf^(talk) 14:40, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Ohio

I'm not aware of any rule that says talk page comments need to have sources or they get reverted. [1] Beeblebrox (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was curious about that too. It seems BITEy, and for me to say that is something. Perhaps if the info is already in the article, that should be pointed out to the OP, and if not, a polite request for sources so it can be added is appropriate. Removal isn't. John from Idegon (talk) 19:12, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you are right. Are these entries meant for the article's page? They would need sourcing to be moved there. What other purpose do they serve in the talk page? Feel free to restore them if you disagree. -- Alexf^(talk) 19:15, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the level-2 warning[2] that this new editor received on their first four edits which were neither disruptive nor out of Wikipedia scope. I can't believe my eyes that this came from an admin. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing of userpages

Hi, I noticed that you carry out frequent edits to users' own userpages, mainly removing content:

[3] - editor's short bio
[4] - editor's phone number and locality (your edit summary: "rm spam")
[5] - editor's social media profile address
... and many others.

In all these instances, the content you removed was allowed on Wikipedia. I suggest you revisit WP:UPYES and WP:UPNOT.

Additionally, you in some instances you deleted the entire userpage with similar comments as earlier, as for the editor User:The Abbasid Alsayeid Al Abbassi.

Why not reviewing your pattern of editing? — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:54, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Spamming your website or YT channel is not allowed. In the case of the mentions of family names, it is borderline, but adding personally identifiable information in the open internet is questionable at best. -- Alexf^(talk) 22:48, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any such things on WP:UP. Can you link to a policy? — kashmīrī ^TALK 22:57, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, we have this policy that I am afraid you might be violating. By Wikipedia tradition, a userpage belongs to the user and unless there is a gross policy violation, nobody should touch it. — kashmīrī ^TALK 23:04, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking of new user

Hi Alex, I recently conducted a Wikipedia Training in Nairobi and one of the new users came to me and showed me that you deleted her page and she is currently blocked. This was extremely disheartening to her and other volunteers as she had just began her journey as a Wikipedia editor. Her username is: Betty Auma. Kindly assist and let me know what she did wrong and how we can rectify this. -- FaithMwanyolo (Talk) 12:58, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
