Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Suggestion

I noticed that you made two edits at the Kenosha unrest shooting article that I think you will be challenged about. One is that Rittenhouse is an "active shooter." I don't believe that if we see something obvious on video, i.e., that the sun was "rising," that we can say, "the sun was rising." We need to find a reliable secondary source (RSS) that says "the sun was rising." Someone might respond that you're wrong, that the earth is actually turning, or that you're trying to be disruptive. There are editors who can drive you nuts with challenges, who might stalk your every edit, deleting hours of work you might have done in a few seconds. I wouldn't invite them to do it and you've experienced it to some extent. You also can write something on your User page to make it obvious that your Wikipedia birth wasn't yesterday, as suggested by a red link on your User name that might motivate someone to challenge you. One editor who joined recently wrote, "I'm a human being," or something like that, that eliminates that problem. Lastly, you can set up an email account so that other editors can contact you or vice versa, privately, if you might find that helpful. An option, "Email this User," will appear on the menu to the left side of your User screen that will allow other editors to make such a contact. I hope that Wednesday brought you a better day.

Hello, I'm CommanderWaterford. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Cristina Garcia (politician), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! CommanderWaterford (talk) 15:28, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain this edit. I didn't see anything in the source that indicated that the subject attempted to have anyone arrested from the article. Was there a reason as to why you included that? --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 14:34, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Note especially the 1RR rule, which I believe you have just broken on Tira, cheers, Huldra (talk) 21:35, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Did you note the 1RR rule yourself? Your edit reverting this editor broke it. Inf-in MD (talk) 23:11, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Wasn't a revert and wasn't a 1RR violation, I changed what I was editing. My first edit was based off an intermediate edit and ended up removing positive additions to the article. Second time around I only changed parts that were written in an editorial (rather than encyclopedic) tone.
