Copyright violations again
[edit]As before, I'd like to remind you that copyright infringement isn't acceptable. Uploading images you found on the Internet and claiming to be the artist just isn't right, so please don't do it. I have tagged:
- File:Chousecrest.jpg as lacking a source, because I can't find one, and
- File:Sunbeam01 s.jpg for speedy deletion, because it is stolen from this website
I'm only trying to be helpful, so please respond to this message, if only to acknowledge that you understand that uploading images like this is wrong. If you do not acknowledge this, and undertake not to continue uploading copyrighted, unlicensed files that are not your own work, you will be blocked from editing, to prevent you from continuing to violate others' copyrights on Wikipedia.
In the near future, I will be nominating all of your remaining image contributions for deletion, because I do not trust that any of them aren't copyright violations. — mholland (talk) 02:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:ISC Burgee.JPG
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:ISC Burgee.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Skier Dude ► 07:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Possibly unfree File:LogoRed.jpg
[edit]A file that you uploaded or altered, File:LogoRed.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. -- Skier Dude ► 07:23, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Cathedral info box
[edit]Please don't keep sticking the list of canons in the info box. There is a section further down devoted to the cathedral staff. this stuff doesn't need repeating twice. It s simply not of genral interest or significance.
I hate large info boxes. The larger they are, the less room for pictures of the building in parallel with the text, because you have the space filled with reptitious text in parallel with the text. I hat almost everything about these boxes, and particularly the fact that they give you so many options that you might as well just have a box with lists of info and no text at all.

Articles for deletion nomination of 2009 United Kingdom Cabinet reshuffle
[edit]
I have nominated 2009 United Kingdom Cabinet reshuffle, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 United Kingdom Cabinet reshuffle. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 02:34, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Community restrictions
[edit] | The article Martin McGuinness, along with other articles relating to The Troubles, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a previous Arbitration Enforcement case that closed in October 2007, and was amended by community consensus in October 2008.

- Please do not revert my archiving without discussion, the ip editor whose comments you have replaced is a previousely banned disruptive editor, I have replaced your discussion. Off2riorob (talk) 17:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Your revert of my archive
[edit]Please explain why you have done that. Off2riorob (talk) 17:08, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- There were issues to be discussed, such as that awful misrepresenting picture of PM Gordon Brown. YOu can't just erase the topics on the talk page! Willwal (talk) 17:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The soapboxing additions by the blocked disruptive editor are good to go, you also have not any edits to these threads, your comments regarding the picture is also of no benefit to the article, the picture has been there over a year and just because you think he should appear more grumpy is not going anywhere. Off2riorob (talk) 17:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The fact that he is a grumpy politician is completely relevant to his picture. I guess that you're voting Labour in the election this year? Willwal (talk) 17:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- I care less, I guess you went to private school and vote tory. so what, the talkpage is no place for soapboxing your opinions..
Wikipedia shouldn't misrepresent the UK Prime Minister to be happy and cheerful (which he very clearly isn't!): he's grumpy and depressed looking ... but who can blame him; the country as well as his party detest him! .. this is pure opinionated soapboxing and has no place on the talkpage, I will appreciate it if you don't edit war to keep it on the talkpage, regards. Off2riorob (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Firstly, you didn't answer my question... and secondly, I think you'll find the vast majority of people agree with me. Ask someone like David Cameron or Nick Clegg! And finally, what does my education have to do with you.Willwal (talk) 17:41, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
The article United States presidential candidate girls, 2008 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

The Right Stuff: September 2011
[edit]
By Lionelt
Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Right Stuff, the newsletter of WikiProject Conservatism. The Project has developed at a breakneck speed since it was created on February 12, 2011 with the edit summary, "Let's roll!" With over 50 members the need for a project newsletter is enormous. With over 3000 articles to watch, an active talk page and numerous critical discussions spread over various noticeboards, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the information overload. The goal of The Right Stuff is to help you keep up with the changing landscape.
The Right Stuff is a newsletter consisting of original reporting. Writers will use a byline to "sign" their contributions. Just as with The Signpost, "guidelines such as 'no ownership of articles', and particularly 'no original research', will not necessarily apply."
WikiProject Conservatism has a bright future ahead: this newsletter will allow us tell the story. All that's left to say is: "Let's roll!"
By Lionelt
A new style guide to help standardize editing was rolled out. It focuses on concepts, people and organizations from a conservatism perspective. The guide features detailed article layouts for several types of articles. You can help improve it here. The Project's Article Collaboration currently has two nominations, but they don't appear to be generating much interest. You can get involved with the Collaboration here.
I am pleased to report that we have two new members: Rjensen and Soonersfan168. Rjensen is a professional historian and has access to JSTOR. Soonersfan168 says he is a "young conservative who desires to improve Wikipedia!" Unfortunately we will be seeing less of Geofferybard, as he has announced his semi-retirement. We wish him well. Be sure to stop by their talk pages and drop off some Wikilove.

On August 3rd Peter Oborne, a British journalist, became the Project's 3,000th tagged article. It is a tribute to the membership that we have come this far this quickly. The latest Featured Article is Richard Nixon. Our congratulations to Wehwalt for a job well done. The article with the most page views was Rick Perry with 887,389 views, not surprising considering he announced he was running for president on August 11th. Follwing Perry were Michele Bachmann and Tea Party movement. The Project was ranked 75th based on total edits, which is up from 105th in July. The article with the most edits was Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012 with 374 edits. An RFC regarding candidate inclusion criteria generated much interest on the talk page.
Hello. You have a new message at WT:WikiProject Conservatism's talk page. – Lionel (talk) 03:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
The Right Stuff: October 2011
[edit]By Lionelt
The Right Stuff caught up with Dank, the recently elected Lead Coordinator of WikiProject Military History. MILHIST is considered by many to be one of the most successful projects in the English Wikipedia.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: I'm Dan, a Wikipedian since 2007, from North Carolina. I started out with an interest in history, robotics, style guidelines, and copyediting. These days, I'm the lead coordinator for the Military History Project and a reviewer of Featured Article Candidates. I've been an administrator and maintained WP:Update, a summary of policy changes, since 2008.
Q: What is your experience with WikiProjects?
A: I guess I'm most familiar with WP:MILHIST and WP:SHIPS, and I'm trying to get up to speed at WP:AVIATION. I've probably talked with members of most of the wikiprojects at one time or another.
Q: What makes a WikiProject successful?
A: A lot of occasional contributors who think of the project as fun rather than work, a fair number of people willing to write or review articles, a small core of like-minded people who are dedicated to building and maintaining the project, and access to at least a few people who are familiar with reviewing standards and with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
Q: Do you have any tips for increasing membership?
A: Aim for a consistent, helpful and professional image. Let people know what the project is doing and what they could be doing, but don't push.
If you've got a core group interested in building a wikiproject, it helps if they do more listening than talking at first ... find out what people are trying to do, and offer them help with whatever it is. Some wikiprojects build membership by helping people get articles through the review processes.

The arbitration request submitted by Steven Zhang moved into its second month. The case, which evaluates user conduct, arose from contentious discussions regarding the naming of the Pro-life and Pro-choice articles, and a related issue pertaining to the inclusion of "death" in the lede of Abortion. A number of members are involved. On the Evidence page ArtifexMahem posted a table indicating that DMSBel made the most edits to the Abortion article. DMSBel has announced their semi-retirement. Fact finding regarding individual editor behavior has begun in earnest on theWorkshop page.
Last month it was decided that due to the success of the new Dispute Resolution Noticeboard the Content Noticeboard would be shut down. Wikiquette Assistance will remain active. The DRN is primarily intended to resolve content disputes.
By Lionelt
Was your article deleted in spite of your best efforts to save it? You should consider having a copy restored to the Incubator where project members can help improve it. Upon meeting content criteria, articles are graduated to mainspace. The Incubator is also ideal for collaborating on new article drafts. Star Parker is the first addition to the incubator. The article was deleted per WP:POLITICIAN.
WikiProject Conservatism is expanding. We now have a satellite on Commons. Any help in categorizing images or in getting the fledgling project off the ground is appreciated.
We have a few new members who joined the project in September. Please give a hearty welcome to Conservative Philosopher, Screwball23 and Regushee by showing them some Wikilove. Screwball23 has been on WikiPedia for five years and has made major improvements to Linda McMahon. Regushee is not one for idle chit chat: an amazing 93% of their edits are in article space.
The Right Stuff: November 2011
[edit]By Lionelt
On October 7, WikiProject Conservatism was nominated for deletion by member Binksternet. He based his rationale on what he described as an undefinable scope, stating that the project is "at its root undesirable". Of the 40 participants in the discussion, some agreed that the scope was problematic; however, they felt it did not justify deletion of the project. A number of participants suggested moving the project to "WikiProject American conservatism". The overwhelming sentiment was expressed by Guerillero who wrote: "A project is a group of people. This particular group does great work in their topic area[,] why prevent them from doing this[?]" In the end there was negligible opposition to the project and the result of the discussion was "Keep". The proceedings of the deletion discussion were picked up by The Signpost, calling the unfolding drama "the first MfD of its kind". The Signpost observed that attempting to delete an active project was unprecedented. The story itself became a source of controversy which played out at the Discuss This Story section, and also at the author's talk page.
Two days after the project was nominated, the Conservatism Portal was also nominated for deletion as "too US-biased". There was no support for deletion amongst the 10 participants, with one suggestion to rename the portal.
In other news, a new portal focusing on conservatism has been created at WikiSource. Wikisource is an online library of free content publications with 254,051 accessible texts. One highlight of the portal's content is Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke.
October saw a 6.4% increase in new members, bringing the total membership to 58. Seven of the eight new members joined after October 12; the deletion discussions may have played a role in the membership spike. Mwhite148 is a member of the UK Conservative Party. Stating that he is not a conservative, Kleinzach noted his "lifetime interest in British, European and international politics." Let's all make an effort to welcome the new members with an outpouring of Wikilove.

Timeline of conservatism, a Top-importance list, was nominated for deletion on October 3. The nominator stated that since conservatism in an "ambiguous concept", the timeline suffers from original research. There were a number of "Delete", as well as "Keep" votes. The closing administrator reasoned that consensus dictated that the list be renamed. The current title is Timeline of modern American conservatism.
The Right Stuff: January 2012
[edit]
By Lionelt
On January 21, The Conservatism Portal was promoted to Featured Portal (FP) due largely to the contributions of Lionelt. This is the first Featured content produced by WikiProject Conservatism. The road to Featured class was rocky. An earlier nomination for FP failed, and in October the portal was "Kept" after being nominated for deletion.
Member Eisfbnore significantly contributed to the successful Good Article nomination of Norwegian journalist and newspaper editor Nils Vogt in December. Eisfbnore also created the article. In January another Project article was promoted to Featured Article. Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias, a president of Brazil, attained Featured class with significant effort by Lecen. The Article Incubator saw its first graduation in November. A collaboration spearheaded by Mzk1 and Trackerseal successfully developed Star Parker to pass the notability guideline.
By Lionelt
Another discussion addressing the project scope began in December. Nine alternatives were presented in the contentious, sometimes heated discussion. Support was divided between keeping the exitsing scope, or adopting a scope with more specificity. Some opponents of the specific scope were concerned that it was too limiting and would adversely affect project size. About twenty editors participated in the discussion.
Inclusion of the article Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was debated. Supporters for inclusion cited sources describing the KKK as "conservative." The article was excluded with more than 10 editors participating.
Project membership continues to grow. There are currently 73 members. Member Goldblooded (pictured) volunteers for the UK Conservative Party and JohnChrysostom is a Christian Democrat. North8000 is interested in libertarianism. We won't tell WikiProject Libertarianism he's slumming. Let's stop by their talkpages and share some Wikilove.

Articles about the GOP presidential candidate and staunch traditional marriage supporter have seen an explosion of discussion. On January 8 an RFC was opened (here) to determine if Dan Savage's website link should be included in Campaign for "santorum" neologism. The next day the Rick Santorum article itself was the subject of an RFC (here) to determine if including the Savage neologism was a violation of the BLP policy. Soon after a third was opened (here) at Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality. This RFC proposes merging the neologism article into the controversy article.
The Abortion case closed in November after 15 weeks of contentious arbitration. The remedies include semi-protection of all abortion articles (numbering 1,500), sanctions for some editors including members of this Project, and a provision for a discussion to determine the names of what are colloquially known as the pro-life and pro-choice articles. The Committee endorsed the "1 revert rule" for abortion articles.
The article James Thomas (Director of Music) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. noq (talk) 15:00, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Conservative Women's Organisation logo.gif)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Conservative Women's Organisation logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Samuel Peirson
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Samuel Peirson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Qxukhgiels (talk) 18:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Removing Speedy at Samuel Peirson
[edit]Hi Willwal, you recently removed a deletion tag from Samuel Peirson. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 18:26, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Re cathedral organists and all that, when you add a new cathedral, could you please write a little sentence about the cathedral and its music, as I have done for other cathedrals, so that we are able to link the music article directly to the cathedral's home article in every case, because it is bad form to make links in the section headings. e.g. "There has been a choir at Wells Cathedral since 1066 (or whatever)". Also, for the look of the article, could you please maintain 3 columns, whenever the list goes beyond one column. Amandajm (talk) 01:50, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:LogoRed.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Jeremy Corbyn leadership campaign, 2015
[edit]If you are prepared to move the article into a sandbox, and then have it moved into article space if he wins, I suggest you just unilaterally go ahead and do that. The discussion at AfD is getting more heated and personalised, and there's no real purpose in letting it continue if you are willing to take that step. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:31, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oh right, I didn't think I could do that without reaching consensus? Shouldn't there be a vote of some sort? If not, let me know what I should write on the talk page, please! For what it is worth, I have already moved it to this sandbox, to avoid losing all that content etc., which just leaves the deletion process and the wait for the result. However there are several users that seem opposed to deleting the article, so I would not want to do so without reaching a consensus/majority support. Willwal 22:50, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Jeremy Corbyn
[edit]I made some minor alterations to your template for Jeremy Corbyn. A double border is reserved, in series boxes, for heads of state & heads of government. Gold color is normally for heads of state (Monarch, President, etc.) and other color, like David Cameron's blue, is used for Heads of Government. The black & blue for Cameron come from official colors used by HM government publications these days. I also switched the crest to the portcullis of the House of Commons. The previous crest was that of Her Majesty's Government, which is distinct from Her Majesty's Opposition. These are minor necessary changes, thought I'd give you a heads up.

Hi, I noticed you moved the table to Template:List of Democratic Party superdelegates, 2016 in order to transclude it on Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016. I'm not sure it's a good idea, because it makes it less likely the table will be kept up to date when a delegate gets added to the list. Maybe we can make the list work with a section tag like how Endorsements for the Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016 transcludes the endorsement lists?

UK Prime Ministers and numbers
[edit]Because there is no custom of numbering UK Prime Ministers (unlike, say, US Presidents), and no agreement on how the numbering would be done (eg would non-consecutive terms count as two separate numbers or just as one person?), the consensus on Wikipedia is that Prime Ministers should not be given numbers. See Talk:List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom/Archive 2#Numbering for a debate. Sam Blacketer (talk) 23:16, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of LGBT politicians in the United Kingdom
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on List of LGBT politicians in the United Kingdom, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Fellow members, I'm pleased to announce the return of the newsletter of WikiProject Conservatism. And considering the recent downsizing at The Signpost the timing could not be better. The Right Stuff will help keep you apprised of what's happening in conservatism at Wikipedia and in the world. The Right Stuff welcomes submissions including position pieces, instructional articles, or short essays addressing important conservatism-related issues. Post submissions here.

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.
Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)By Lionelt
Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

The Right Stuff: July 2018
[edit]By Lionelt
WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.
At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."
Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos
 | Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. There is more info on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org. |
Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
- 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
- "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
- "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here.

Ways to improve List of resignations from the Second May ministry
[edit]Hi, I'm Doomsdayer520. Willwal, thanks for creating List of resignations from the Second May ministry!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks for you new article on resignations from the Second May ministry. Please consider expanding the introduction section to indicate whether this is a notable pattern of resignations when compared to similar administrations. Good luck!

Numbering British Prime Ministers
[edit]We do not number British Prime Ministers, please stop doing so. DuncanHill (talk) 11:39, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. DuncanHill (talk) 11:45, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Willwal, here are some thoughts on why we don't number Prime Ministers.
British Prime Ministers aren't numbered like US Presidents for several boring reasons. Firstly, the term "Prime Minister" wasn't used until the early twentieth century, before then the office was called "First Lord of the Treasury", in fact to this day the Prime Minister still is the First Lord of the Treasury, that's what it says on No. 10's letterbox. Another thing is, the United Kingdom didn't exist until 1801, before then it was Great Britain, so technically Robert Walpole was the first Prime Minister of Great Britain and Henry Addington was the last Prime Minister of Great Britain and the first Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Also, there is a debate as to weather non-consecutive terms are counted twice, like the way the Americans count Grover Cleveland, the Downing Street website says Boris Johnson will be the 55nd person to walk through the doors of Downing Street as PM not the 78th. Then there is the issue of how many times Ramsay MacDonald is counted as the government changed part way through his second term but he remained as Prime Minister. Finally, it's just not a British tradition to count the number people who have held a particular office.
Regards - Galloglass 12:04, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for this explanation, Galloglass - this makes perfect sense and I will steer clear of the numbering issue in future.
- Willwal (talk) 12:23, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- You were previously told not to do this here. That is still on this talk page so you did already know. DuncanHill (talk) 12:24, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out - certainly explains the block and clears up the confusion in my own head as to when/whether I had made similar edits before. Willwal (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. GoldenRing (talk) 12:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)- When someone contests your edits, you're expected to stop and discuss it. When you don't stop and they report it to ANI, it's a good idea to stop and discuss it. I've blocked you for 12 hours to stop the immediate disruption. If you resume this after your block, the next one will be longer. Stop and discuss. GoldenRing (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi GoldenRing. Completely understand this decision and apologise for the unintended disruption caused. I honestly don't recall whether/when I made similar edits to the numbering of British PMs in the past - I have contributed fairly extensively to an array of political/historical articles over many years, so it wouldn't surprise me if I have indeed made these changes before.
- As such, I won't contest the 12 hour block, but would stress that these edits were made in good faith.
- Willwal (talk) 12:33, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Willwal: If you'll explain to me how you made these edits at about one every three seconds, and commit to not making the same changes again, I'll happily undo the block. GoldenRing (talk) 12:46, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Scrolled through the list on List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, opening the PM articles on new tabs. Edited their respective infoboxes but didn't publish the changes until all 55 had been edited. Then it was just a case of moving between the tabs and hitting the blue button. And yes, very happy to make that commitment. Willwal (talk) 13:10, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
- Done. Whatever your intent (which I'm sure was good), editing in that way can easily give the impression that you're trying to get a big batch of edits done before someone can stop you; I wouldn't do it. Go careful. GoldenRing (talk) 13:36, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
