This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Thanks for your contributions to Praia do Ervino. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and also read about verification on Wikipedia and burden on citation. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Reading Beans (talk) 20:16, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Fair warning, I will block you if you revert again. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:WikiWikiWayne reported by User:Alalch E. (Result: ). Thank you. —Alalch E. 16:45, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Per WP:BRD, when you are reverted you should leave the article as it is and then discuss on the talk page. You're edit warring (I count that you're now up to 5 reverts), your edit seems to be inserting a note/commentary into the text, and you seem to have stopped replying on the talk page. Please leave the article as it is and discuss on talk. — Czello 17:26, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

What do you think about citing or redirecting to Tennessee statutes for 2nd degree murder instead of the general wiki article? I also found on archive dot org, "Tennessee Pattern Jury Instructions 26th edition" (the criminal edition) which better explains 2nd degree murder in Tennessee. The Jury instruction is clear in what is required to convict. AgntOtrth (talk) 03:34, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

23:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)I'm sorry you feel bullied,
but saying that I made "no efforts to mediate or mitigate" is simply not true.
I offered a third opinion on the talk page
(you didn't engage and in fact continued reverting)
and I left a very clear and unambiguous warning
on your talk page
(you state that you didn't see it;
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
but it was there for you to see
and you edited afterwards,
in fact you made another revert).
Even without those intervention, an editor with your experience must know that edit warring is frowned upon
and that making four reverts in one day is a violation of a bright-line rule
and grounds for a block.
In fact, you cited WP:BRD
and even told someone else "please do not edit war during a BRD (discussion)",
but you continued reverting and declined to engage in the discussion beyond your initial reply.
I feel I've been more than reasonable in explaining the grounds for this block
but if you want another admin to review it,
you can use the ((unblock))
template and a second admin should be along shortly.

11:41, 15 March 2023 (UTC)I'm reverting you. Huh? "What's the point of that", I wondered. "How does that get us any closer to a resolution?" It was like we were communicating from slightly time-lagged parallel universes. I suspected that you may be intent on discussion avoidance. But you were distracted. That's the real reason.You have my sympathies and I'm so very sorry that I hadn't thought up something else, some other approach that would have precluded this unfortunate development. Please forgive me. Please be well. Kind regards—Alalch E. 12:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you assume ownership of articles, as you did at Killing of Tyre Nichols. You have made over 300 edits to the article, which is 21.7% of edits Please slow your roll. AgntOtrth (talk) 07:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Killing of Tyre Nichols shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
3 Times in less than an hour you reverted edits to your personal opinion. You are being disruptive. Your actions, of repeatedly reverting edits to your opinion of what you believe is right, is edit warring. You did not seek a consensus. Yet you repeatedly reverted edits to your opinion. Additionally, your conduct shows a lack of good faith from you towards others. AgntOtrth (talk) 07:34, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
I restored the page for Killing of Tyre Nichols which you erased in its entirety earlier today. I have explained why on the talk page. You removed the page body in its entirety again without discussing. I have undid this revision to preserve the page content before it gets buried under a dozen new edits to the lede. As I am writing this, you have already undone my edit and nuked the entire page a third time, again without discussing. I hope we can discuss this on the talk page instead of treading into WP:ER territory. Combefere ❯❯❯ Talk 07:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

notice on the blanked area of the article states that only admins and clerks are permitted to unblank or edit things. Unblanking copyvios puts the whole project at risk. Take care always. Cheers! ((u|WikiWikiWayne)) {Talk}
23:37, 20 March 2023 (UTC)I've closed your discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Killing_of_Tyre_Nichols. The discussion at the Talk:Killing of Tyre Nichols#Resolving vs wikilawyering has not been going on for long enough to be brought to WP:DRN. I also want to remind you that you must inform involved editors on their talk pages when opening a thread at WP:DRN, you did not do this for the thread you opened.

The dispute must have been recently discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) to be eligible for help at DRN. The discussion should have been on the article talk page. Discussion on a user talk page is useful but not sufficient, because the article talk page may be watched by other editors who may be able to comment. Discussion normally should have taken at least two days, with more than one post by each editor.Furthermore, they also say
This noticeboard is for content disputes only. Comment on the contributions, not the contributors. Off-topic or uncivil behavior may garner a warning, improper material may be struck-out, collapsed, or deleted, and a participant could be asked to step back from the discussion.
rabid and militantand in the very next sentence say
There are conduct issues, but that's another story, I assume good faith and give the benefit of the doubt for their content control efforts and their tenacious conduct.and then say that DRN can
let the newbie SPA editor know what they are doing is harming the encyclopedia and coach them on how to be an awesome editor, and to stop wikilawyering to support their content edits; stop reverting the content of good edits. Provide a support team to filter their content edits maybe in a personalized "pending changes" protocol until they internalize their own direct content edits. Teach them the need and how to build out references that contain full metadata and use the citation style in place.This is not at all the purpose of DRN and if you had read the guidelines at the top of the page you'd know this. I've reviewed the other editors contributions and discusssions on the talk page. Their disagreement around the close of the discussion regarding the title of the Killing of Tyre Nichols was rightfully dismissed by most of the editors on the talk page, but singling them out in a thread at WP:DRN because you have issues with how they conduct themselves as an editor is not what DRN is for. I think both of you would be well served by stepping back from the article and moving on to a new page. I promise there's more out there than this article. Philipnelson99 (talk) 00:59, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Just FYI: another volunteer at WP:DRN has closed this thread now with the same reasoning as I did. Philipnelson99 (talk) 01:51, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
I have closed the DRN case again. User:Philipnelson99 was correct in stating that the discussion at the article talk page had been going on for less than 24 hours. Also, the discussion did not seem to be about article content. If there is an article content issue, it has been overtaken by conduct allegations. User:WikiWikiWayne says that they are not lecturing, but that doesn't change the fact that they are lecturing, and is being overbearing. Also, DRN is not a forum to discuss copyright, and DRN will not handle a case while either copyright problems or conduct issues are being discussed. Resume discussion at the article talk page, but be civil and concise (two qualities that have been in short supply). Robert McClenon (talk) 02:01, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

In response to your request to revert my comment on the VRT noticeboard:
My only intention in writing that comment was to restore the blanked page Killing of Tyre Nichols. I made an effort to ensure that each sentence was a neutral and objective statement of fact. You asked me to revert any parts of it which could be construed as a personal attack, broadly speaking. I can honestly identify no such parts. I came here to suggest that you AGF and view the comment as a genuine attempt to restore a blanked page, instead of interpreting it as some sort of personal attack.
I have noticed that this is not the first time that you have chosen to accuse others of bad faith. You earlier accused another editor stalking you. On this page you have accused no less than three editors of attacking you. One such accusation is in the form of a wall of text in allcaps. As you have so often reminded me and others, AOBF is against wiki policy.
Please review the WP:AGF policy, and consider that the policy is not a weapon to be used to win an argument, but it is actually supposed to apply to your own conduct. Not everything that happens on Wikipedia is a personal attack against you.
Should you return to Wikipedia, I hope this pattern of disruptive behavior does not return with you. Combefere ❯❯❯ Talk 20:34, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary | |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
