Olympic event pages

Hello, I just noticed you have been creating and editing Olympic event pages, so first of all, thanks for your help! But you should know that the consensus we now have at WP:WikiProject Olympics is to use {{Infobox Olympic event}} for these pages, and this infobox includes a link to the previous and next event pages. Therefore, we do not use succession boxes on Olympic event articles. See my update to Fencing at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's foil for an example of what we have been doing since the 2008 Games. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me, or better yet, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Olympics. Thanks — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:43, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Random survey

Hi, This is a random survey regarding the first sentence on the Wikipedia policy page Verifiability.

"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."

In your own words, what does this mean? Thank you. Regards, Bob K31416 (talk) 19:41, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

April 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on International recognition of Kosovo‎. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TDL (talk) 17:24, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Wrong. Serbia recognising Kosovo is recognising its independence. Nothing less in this outfit. Diplomatic relations are black and white. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 17:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

You are wrong. Being in the EU which is for independent countries is black and white. Serbia saying Kosovo can be in the EU not a part of Serbia but as its own country is recognizing its independence. It's all in the agreement. Qwerty786 (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

So is being in any trade bloc, EU, EFTA, AU or NAFTA. Serbia and Kosovo have been members of CEFTA since 2007, but that doesn't mean Belgrade recognises Kosovo. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 19:55, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

yes it does. Tadic was a strident supporter of Kosovo independence too. Ever since tadic made these deals Serbia has recognized Kosovo independence but to Wikipedia it hasn't, dacic is expanding Kosovo independence every day now Serbia has customs agents and ambassadors with kosovo Qwerty786 (talk) 20:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

So Tadić a strident supporter of Kosovo independence, and Serbia recognises but Wikipedia doesn't. Now I've heard it all. I suppose according to you, Tadić was in Pristina waving a "Newborn" banner on that Sunday in 2008 when independence was declared. Never mind. Maybe one day you'll awake to discover the shock reality, but until then, sweet dreams. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:38, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes Tadic is a supporter. He met with Thaci didn't he? There is a picture of them together at a meeting of current and former world leaders and there was Tadic and Thaci as equals. Qwerty786 (talk) 20:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija

You wrote on this article that the Assembly has been abolished, as part of the Brussels agreement. However, in all the text documents of the agreement that I can find, it says:

"1. There will be an Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo. Membership will be open to any other municipality provided the members are in agreement.

3. The structures of the Association/Community will be established on the same basis as the existing statute of the Association of Kosovo municipalities e.g. President, vice President, Assembly, Council."

Therefore, I will revert you, until you provide some source that says otherwise. Furthermore, please reply on my talk page, and assume good faith. If you can prove that this assembly has been abolished, then I will accept it. However, the Brussels agreement (2013) seemed not to abolish it, while also not providing any legislative power to it. Heracletus (talk) 18:44, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I disagree. From the perspective of Albanians, the old one was always illegal, as from the perspective of Serbs, the whole Kosovo independence was illegal. I do not find anywhere in the Brussels agreement something about any assembly being illegal or not. What I can read is that there will be a recognised community of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo and that its structures will be established on the same basis as the existing statute of the Association of Kosovo municipalities, including an Assembly.

Even if we distinguish between the already existing Assembly and a new assembly to come, the Brussels agreement makes no declaration on the legality of the old assembly.

But, as we read in Association of Serbian municipalities, Kosovo, the new Community envisaged by the Brussels Agreement, had been initially established as the Association of Serb Municipalities and Settlements of Kosovo and Metohija before the Brussels Agreement. It follows that its Assembly, which was the Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija will also be the new assembly, as the old community of Serbian majority municipalities is the new community envisaged in the Brussels Agreement.

Furthermore, I see nowhere a source that the old assembly has been disbanded/dissolved and does not continue as the new assembly. It only makes sense that if the community of Serbian municipalities has been recognised and transformed by the Brussels Agreement, the same recognition and transformation holds true for its Assembly.

After all, the agreement says that the new community organisation will have the same kind of structures as the old one.

Moreover, an IP user has made edits on Association of Serbian municipalities, Kosovo regarding the new Assembly, which are not supported by the sources. Specifically, in the Serbian criticism section, it is written:

"The Brussels agreement has been criticized by the Democratic Party of Serbia which argues that all Serbian autonomy in Kosovo is abolished with the dissolution of the Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, as it effectively means that laws of the Republic of Kosovo will be administered in the Serb-majority municipalities of North Kosovo previously governed by the Assembly.[8]"

However, reference 8 (http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics.php?yyyy=2013&mm=04&dd=23&nav_id=85844) says about the assembly:

"The former Serbian prime minister welcomed the decision of the Kosovo Serbs who established their own assembly on Monday, saying that they are the ones defending the Serbian state in Kosovo, while the government is destroying it."

So, it says that an assembly was established in 2013 in Kosovo by the Serbs. I would think this is the new assembly or will be recognised as such. Furthermore, it makes no comment about the dissolution of any assembly.

The Brussels agreement was formally signed on 19 April 2013, and reference 8 is from 23 April 2013, so the Monday it refers to is 22 April 2013. Therefore, I see nothing else than the implementation of the deal.

Moreover on the same article, it was Ramush Haradinaj who said that the new Assembly will not have executive power and thus would not violate the constitution of Kosovo. Hashim Thaci also said it would not violate the constitution but did not comment on the powers of the Assembly. The reference is this: http://top-channel.tv/artikull.php?id=252302 .

The Brussels Agreement says about this:

"4. In accordance with the competences given by the European Charter of Local Self Government and Kosovo law the participating municipalities shall be entitled to cooperate in exercising their powers through the Community/Association collectively. The Association/Community will have full overview of the areas of economic development, education, health, urban and rural planning.

5. The Association/Community will exercise other additional competences as may be delegated by the central authorities.

6. The Community/Association shall have a representative role to the central authorities and will have a seat in the communities’ consultative council for this purpose. In the pursuit of this role a monitoring function is envisaged."

I therefore do intend to change these sections according to what the sources used actually state.

Finally, my edits on the Assembly were exactly on the spirit of the Agreement that the Assembly will now be recognised by all Kosovo authorities, but will not have legislative power. I really fail to understand why you disagree with them.

So, the interesting thing would be to see the new composition of the Assembly, after the 2013 elections, and change the article accordingly to the new composition of the Assembly. Heracletus (talk) 01:39, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree. If you read the text, it does not abolish something, it merges the Serb police force into the (Albanian) Kosovo police force, and does the same for the courts.

For example:

"7. There shall be one police force in Kosovo called the Kosovo Police. All police in northern Kosovo shall be integrated in the Kosovo Police framework. Salaries will be only from the KP."

For the Association of Serbian municipalities in Kosovo, it explicitly allows it to exist and sets out the rules on its competences and dictates that its structure will be the same as the already existing one. Since the old Association has been transformed into the new Community of Serbian municipalities, its follows that its structures follow the same fashion; I would call this fashion "implementation of the Brussels Agreement".

The text is here: Brussels_Agreement_(2013)#Conclusion and can also be easily found online. The text and the agreement explicitly follow a neutral tone. On the contrary, you try to deviate from this neutrality. Please stop doing so, as all articles related to Kosovo (and the Balkans in general) are under probation by the Arbitration Committee, as can be read here: WP:GS.

There is no mention in the Agreement of anything being dissolved. There's a mention of institutions merging or being established. It is clear that the new Community continues the old one, but with different competences being recognised. This is clear by a search online, by the way the institution is formed, by the text of the agreement mentioning it will have the same structure as the old one and by the wikipedia article on it. The article is small enough to not require splitting.

In the same spirit, the assembly of the old institution will obviously be constituted as the assembly of the new institution after the 2013 election results. Its members will again be the elected officials of the Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo. This is also quite explicit in the text of the agreement:

"3. The structures of the Association/Community will be established on the same basis as the existing statute of the Association of Kosovo municipalities e.g. President, vice President, Assembly, Council."

Please stop taking a point and try to act neutrally, as that is the spirit of the Brussels Agreement, too. It does not touch the legality of previous institutions or dissolves anything, it just merges them and allows for legitimate recognised representation of the Serb-majority municipalities.

This representation already existed, but was not recognised by the Albanians in Kosovo. Now, it is limited in its powers and is recognised by the Albanian side, too. Heracletus (talk) 02:45, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

no this is completely wrong. The old assembly was a parallel institution abolished by Serbia. It doesn't exist anymore. It was not a part of Kosovo law on municpal powers. It was completely beyond that. This is just fundamentally wrong. Qwerty786 (talk) 05:29, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

If you do not understand English, could you please just go to the wikipedia of your own language?

You write to me:

"sticking to your view that the Brussels agreement is not about abolishing all Serbian parallel structures"

Fine, find where it talks about abolishment and quote it. Until you do this, I believe that you're making an assessment of the agreement and you're pushing your POV.

You also wrote:

"The things you quote explicitly say a new assembly will be formed based on the condition of neutrality so no assembly can be called "assembly serbian municilanties of province of kos met."

Where did I support that the new Assembly will be called "assembly serbian municilanties of province of kos met"???? Give me the quote. What I supported is:

There was a Community of Serbian municipalities in Kosovo and Metohija which was made up from elected members of the Serb-majority municipalities of Kosovo, in elections that the Albanians of Kosovo did not recognise, which had an Assembly with legislative and executive powers over those territories. Obviously, the Albanians did not recognise these powers to that Assembly either. Now, there will be a Community of Serbian municipalities which will be made up from elected members of the Serb-majority municipalities of Kosovo, in elections that the Albanians of Kosovo have recognised, which will have an Assembly without legislative and with regional oversight powers over certain areas (economic development, education, health, urban and rural planning) in these territories.

For reasons obvious to everyone unbiased on the issue, I also wrote the same stuff on the relevant articles.

You also wrote:

"You talk about assemblies according to the Kosovo law on municipalities associations and the old one was not that. You just don't see that the old assembly was a parallel institution. Not in line with Kosovo law and was abolished by Serbia because it was serbias pre Brussels parallel institution"

I do not talk about such things. The agreement says:

1. There will be an Association/Community of Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo. Membership will be open to any other municipality provided the members are in agreement.

2. The Community/Association will be created by statute. Its dissolution shall only take place by a decision of the participating municipalities. Legal guarantees will be provided by applicable law and constitutional law (including the 2/3 majority rule).

3. The structures of the Association/Community will be established on the same basis as the existing statute of the Association of Kosovo municipalities e.g. President, vice President, Assembly, Council.

4. In accordance with the competences given by the European Charter of Local Self Government and Kosovo law the participating municipalities shall be entitled to cooperate in exercising their powers through the Community/Association collectively. The Association/Community will have full overview of the areas of economic development, education, health, urban and rural planning.

5. The Association/Community will exercise other additional competences as may be delegated by the central authorities.

6. The Community/Association shall have a representative role to the central authorities and will have a seat in the communities’ consultative council for this purpose. In the pursuit of this role a monitoring function is envisaged.

Before there was an agreement, there was a Serb-majority institution which was not recognised by Albanians. Now, there is an agreement, this institution is also recognised by Albanians and its operation should be based on the European Charter of Local Self Government and Kosovo law. That's what the agreement says. Personally, nobody asked me where I want it to be based, which institution I recognise or if I want it blue or black. However, if we suppose that Kosovo is a Serbian province, then the Serbian institution might have been in accordance with the law of Kosovo. If we suppose that Kosovo is an independent country, then the Serbian institution might have been in violation of the law of Kosovo. If we suppose that Kosovo is a UN-administered territory, then things would be even more complicated. However, it is not my place to suppose something here. Try to understand this and understand English, especially when talking about an agreement that was specifically designed to be as neutral as possible under the circumstances.

No Serbian institution is to be dissolved according to the Agreement; they are to be implicitly merged or "rebranded". There was a Community of Serbian municipalities, it had an Assembly. There will be a Community of Serbian municipalities, it will have an Assembly. It is CLEARLY stated that it will be pretty much the same thing with the same structure:

"3. The structures of the Association/Community will be established on the same basis as the existing statute of the Association of Kosovo municipalities e.g. President, vice President, Assembly, Council."

Two things changed. 1. The Albanians agreed to recognise it. 2. The Serbs agreed to eliminate its legislative power, and minimise its executive one. This is a compromise. I understand you do not like it, but this is what happened.

And, as your comment caused an edit conflict, you had already commented in the same way, with the same arguments on my talk page, why repeat it here? I will repeat again, from a Serbian point of view, Kosovo has only Serbian and perhaps UNMIK laws, so, you cannot say that something was not lawful by the laws of an entity (the independent state of Kosovo) which does not exist. However, again, we're not here to comment on who's right or wrong in world politics. The institution existed, now it changed a bit, it still exists.

From a Serbian point of view again, there was no parallel structure as you mean it, there were the legal Serbian structures and the illegal Albanian ones. From an Albanian point of view the opposite thing was true. Guess with which point of view you side. Also, Serbia did not dissolve any institution, they were just merged or had their competences changed. This is a legal position. I will try to give you a document that explains the Serbian negotiating position: http://www.vaseljenska.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/non-paper.pdf, but your writing does seem to indicate you will not understand it. Heracletus (talk) 06:31, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I implied that English is your native language, because you just keep failing to understand what I am writing, and because you wrote something like this: "assembly serbian municilanties of province of kos met". I challenged your overall position, by asking you to come up with the quotes that support it, and you just don't. You want to turn a neutral agreement into what you would perceive as favouring one of the sides (the Albanian one). I cannot help you with that. There was an obvious compromise, as I explained above. The position you support for parallel institutions that were abolished and so on, cannot be found in the Agreement text, exactly because it would bias it. I would see the Agreement as a fragile attempt for some normalisation, rather than an instrument of pragmatic EU politics.

If we had to be pragmatic, it's also obvious that without a NATO/EU presence in the region, Kosovo would never have survived as (semi-)independent. And, furthermore, as it is not an EU member, it cannot block Serbia's accession to the EU, which, speaking in a strictly realistic tone, is set to occur before Kosovo's one. In this case, Serbia could block Kosovo's potential accession to the EU, its recognition and even EU missions there. But, all these scenarios, whether plausible or not, do not have a place on wikipedia. Let's just stick to what the Agreement says and not on how we may perceive things to be. Heracletus (talk) 15:13, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

The Reuters source that you gave me doesn't really support your position. The euobserver one is written by a person of Kosovar Albanian origin who makes quite some claims, such as that Serbs won, as in that they do not follow the agreement, which is simply not true. Apart from the comments right below his article, the balkaninsight article proves him wrong. The balkaninsight article is based on Thaci's comments and opinions. I wouldn't exactly consider him unbiased either. In any case, the agreement makes not the claims you wish to make. It is clear that the agreement is formulated in a way that tries to produce no winners or losers. Try to understand this and not be biased. Heracletus (talk) 00:58, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

There's a distinct difference between something being abolished and something being incorporated, merged, absorbed, fused or replaced by something else. Not all the sources claim that the Serbian institutions were just abolished. Since the new institution will be comprised of people representing again the Serbian-majority municipalities and will have the same structure as the old one, it is clearly a continuation of the old one. Moreover, even so, the Agreement is still being implemented and the previous structures have not yet ceased to exist. For example, the police seems to have somehow united (http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes.php?yyyy=2014&mm=04&dd=01&nav_id=89838), but the courts are still being restructured (http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics.php?yyyy=2014&mm=03&dd=31&nav_id=89824). And, about Serbia, Kosovo and the EU, try to read again what I have written above and understand what it means, because you try to argue against a position that I did not take.

Seeing your recent edits on the article of the Assembly, I fail to see where we disagree. I mean, I am not arguing on whether the Assembly was reformed, reconstituted or some other similar word. I'm arguing that the Assembly of Serb-majority municipalities did not just vanish by being abolished, but there's some continuation with the new one. In the previous state of the article, this was not mentioned anywhere. Heracletus (talk) 08:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

You wrote:

"One was from elections organized by Belgrade in 2008 and which has been defunct for years..."

and this does not seem to be true. The news sites I have been looking at do not seem to indicate this assembly (the Assembly of the Community of Municipalities of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija) has been inactive over the years. Yes, it was not recognised by the Albanian side, but it does not seem to have been defunct for years. Do you have some source to back this up?

You also wrote:

"The Brussels deal formally abolished all Serbian government institutions and powers in Kosovo which the former assembly was a part of and therefore completely abolished by the Brussels deal..."

However, each time I challenge you to find this on the Brussels Agreement, you do not provide me with something from it, but rather with one-sided (Albanian-sided) references. Would you like to take a third opinion on the issue, while also moving this to the relevant talk page? Heracletus (talk) 10:37, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

And, I will try to make my position more clear. You claim that the Brussels Agreement abolishes the previous (Serbian-backed) institutions, and establishes new institutions for Serbs in Kosovo. And, I tell you that:

The Brussels Agreement does not explicitly abolish the previous (Serbian-backed) institutions for Serbs in Kosovo. It only implicitly does so by explicitly setting up the same or similar institutions, especially in the case of the Assembly. In the case of the Assembly, the only thing I see changing is its competences being diminished and its being recognised by the Albanian side.

A document which only implicitly abolishes the previous (Serbian-backed) institutions for Serbs in Kosovo by explicitly setting up the same or similar institutions, cannot but make these institutions continuations of the old ones.

Finally, all this is still under negotiation and nothing is final. Even what we know as the Brussels Agreement is a first agreement on principles rather than a final agreement with full details. I mean, here:

"31 March 2014

The negotiators in Brussels today are also expected to discuss the jurisdiction of the Basic Court in Kosovska Mitrovica, which, according to Priština, should include seven municipalities, three of which are predominantly ethnic Albanian.

Belgrade believes that such a solution is not in the spirit of the Brussels agreement, as the ethnic structure of judges and prosecutors of such a court would be majority Albanian. "

Heracletus (talk) 12:11, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

First of all, you reverted me on the Association_of_Serbian_municipalities,_Kosovo article. The relevant reference: http://top-channel.tv/artikull.php?id=252302 does not have anyone saying something about legislative or judicial powers. Therefore, what you add is not from the source. I do not deny that the Community won't have legislative or judicial powers, but that is not found in the source. I would suggest you just add something like, "According to the Brussels Agreement, the Association/Community of Serbian municipalities of Kosovo will not have legislative, judicial or executive powers." However, it does say something about broad overview on certain fields, and this probably is still under negotiation, so I would also add something like "It will only have broad overview on the ..... fields."

Secondly, I do not want to revert you, in general. And, as I also reverted you on the number of communities in the Assembly article, do you have some source on how many they are or how many people they elect to the Assembly?

Thirdly, exactly above this comment, I gave you some sources that explain that the particular details of how this Agreement will be implemented are under negotiation. Moreover, the article (article 10 of the Agreement) you mention is about the courts and says that they will be integrated. This is quite different from just everything Serbian being abolished. And, again is about the courts, while we argue about the Community and Assembly of this Community, which are mentioned in the first articles of the Brussels Agreement. Where that Agreement says that something happens under the Kosovo law, that will of course happen under the Kosovo law. However, there is no mention of anything being abolished. I also agree about the case of the mayor you mentioned, this has been reported by both sides. Heracletus (talk) 20:46, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Kosovo status

Kosovo will participate as an independent country at the Olympics. Why add a status when the IOC has recognized the Republic of Kosovo (including your country, USA).. and just by the end of the line it says 'as an independent nation.' This is Kosovo's official profile at the Olympics.

Do not add the status, because it's just politicizing the article, when this is just about sports, and that the Rep. of Kosovo is going to participate with its flag and name, not as a disputed territory. Thanks! --PjeterPeter (talk) 21:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Elena Radionova

Hello! Could you tell me what your source is on Elena Radionova's retirement from figure skating. As far as I know, that information hasn't been confirmed by Elena herself, her coaches, or by a reputable media source. Thanks!

Important Notice

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 recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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.

This doesn’t belong here. Editing for years and years. Qwerty786 (talk) 02:24, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

I explained this on my talk, but I'll reply here: WP:AC/DS requires that these be given in areas where discretionary sanctions are in force for editors to be made aware of sanctions. They are standardized, and have no comment on your edits, and I don't control the wording. I gave them because after I had removed the books on the Dice article, mentioning the talk, you restored them. This is probably the single most contentious article on Wikipedia right now, and basically is the situation making people aware of DS was designed for. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

I did restore but with a source. I did think amazon could be used as a source for books if it was an author page. Qwerty786 (talk) 02:34, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Nope. We don't link to Amazon because of the selling bit. The other issue on that article is that no secondary sources cover the books at all (I've looked because if there was coverage, I would actually like to include it along with commentary from book reviews, etc.) If secondary sources don't cover them, we don't, especially considering the books are self-published. Also, your confusion here has prompted me to suggest removing the word "recently" from the template. Sorry for any hurt feelings over that. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:42, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Taking care in making page moves

I have undone a recent page move that you undertook. A brief glance at the top of the article talk page would have informed you that there had just been a formal requested page move that settled on the title to the page. Wikipedia:Requested moves is very clear that one should not unilaterally move a page title if there has been any discussion, especially recent discussion, about the title of the page, or in other similar cases.

Formal warning about a BLP violation

Your edit summary at My Son Hunter saying "It is perfectly reasonable to call hunter Biden corrupt. It’s not false. He’s under investigation" was a clear violation of our BLP policy, which you should know by now. Being under investigation does not make anyone guilty. This is the sort of thing that gets editors topic banned if repeated. Doug Weller talk 13:45, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

I never said he was guilty Qwerty786 (talk) 04:16, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

You said he was corrupt, more or less the same thing and definitely a BLP violation. Worrying that you don’t understand this. Doug Weller talk 06:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Was this discussed?...

Was there a discussion or a RfC re: moving January 6 United States Capitol attack to January 6 United States Coup attempt by President Donald Trump? - Shearonink (talk) 00:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

For the record, I've undone this move. I can find no record of such a proposal. Qwerty786, this is not only a highly controversial article but it's a highly controversial title. So much so that most users can't even move it -- only those of us with admin rights or page mover rights. If nothing else, that should really be cause to stop and take a minute to use the talk page... — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
