Disambiguation link notification for July 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2013 IRS controversy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Hill. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

July 2014

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Jennifer Rubin (journalist). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  - 2/0 (cont.) 22:09, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I completely agree that IMDB is not sufficient for disputed info. I don't see any "dispute" about it being correct though, just some editor with apparent COI who does not wish the info to be seen. DMacks (talk) 07:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

The fact that they're removing it constitutes a dispute, more or less. If there's not a better source for it, there's not really a reason we should have it anyway. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Matches what's reported at [1]. Filmbug is a generally variable-reliability source (some user-generated content, some content cited to wikipedia). But that particular one states Bio courtesy Warner Independent for "Looking for Comedy In the Muslim World". That cited work is apparently some sort of documentary that stars this person (and is notable enough to have a WP article), but I don't have access to a copy myself.

Alison Lundergan Grimes

Your recent editing history at Alison Lundergan Grimes shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for 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.CFredkin (talk) 04:33, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Ferguson

Please reconsider or modify your addition. See BLPN for more details, but police reports are primary sources. Even if we were to include "peaceful" you should attribute that. I doubt very much that Alders felt they were being peaceful, whatever that means. From the short portion of the video, it seemed adversarial,at best. But this is why we use secondary reliable sources.Two kinds of pork (talk) 18:54, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it matters what Albers' state of mind was - the objective facts are pretty clear. Any officer of the law who levels a rifle at unarmed, peaceful protestors, says "I will fucking kill you, get back" and responds with "Go fuck yourself" when asked to identify himself is clearly acting inappropriately. If Albers felt they weren't peaceful - then that's Albers' problem with understanding the nature of the word. There are no allegations that Albers was threatened with violence nor are there any allegations that the protestors he aimed a weapon at were armed. Merely feeling discomfort with people who oppose you is not, under any objective consideration of policing, valid reason to threaten them with deadly force.

The secondary reliable sources here are effectively unanimous. I'm not aware of any reliable source making any claims that what Albers did was appropriate - but if there are some, we should certainly include them. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

this is why we use secondary sources to describe the crowd. Or we attribute to the primary source. We should only cite primary sources in very limited circumstances. Two kinds of pork (talk) 19:47, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I think that two Hoosiers can work together. Of course I was only a Hoosier while at ND for my masters, but love Indiana.

Gamergate

Please stop trying to delete information which has appeared in multiple reliable sources; it has already been noted to you repeatedly on Zoe Quinn that it is not a violation of BLP. If you continue to do so I will seek to have you barred from these pages; I appreciate your work on finding sources and don't want to exclude you from the editing process, but if you continue to delete such information I will have to in the interest of allowing the article to move forward. Titanium Dragon (talk) 08:51, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Given the fact that it's already been revdel'ed multiple times by several different administrators from both articles, I'm pretty sure that you're the one who is at risk of being banned for violating policy. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:53, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Content removal

Its wasn't large scale removal it was removal of very bias unfounded information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarousedtuna (talk • contribs) 04:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

@Anarousedtuna: Please refrain from edit warring and explain on the article talk page what is "unfounded" or "biased" about including the GamerGate article in Wikipedia's feminism portal. The controversy obviously involves issues related to feminism, as discussed in reliable sources. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Please stop and think with your edits you are trying to paint gamer gate as a sexist issue when it is not. Suggestion revert you edit and state what is is really about. -thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarousedtuna (talk • contribs) 04:51, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I suggest that you read the reliable sources and understand why the predominant point of view about GamerGate is that it's riven with misogyny and internet trolling. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:53, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

ya... no its about journalism people are trying to make it about feminism. You clearly have a very bias dog in the fight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anarousedtuna (talk • contribs) 04:56, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm interested in ensuring the article adheres to core content policies and reflects the mainstream consensus view of the controversy. It's not my fault that some people with honest concerns about journalism hitched their wagon to a misogynistic trolling witch-hunt. I apologize if you're one who's truly concerned about the ethics issue, but your hashtag has been permanently poisoned by the relentlessly-sexist focus on a woman's sex life. Also, please sign your posts with four tildes, like this:~~~~. Thanks. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

If you are then remove the feminism portal it create a hostile/bias resource page. This issue does inculde sexism on both sides but it should not be a focus of the point on the page. Poisoned? I have nothing against equal rights for every one regardless of whom they are but I can not stand to seem an agenda being so blatantly pushed on a page. I also take offense to being called sexist, your the one trying to force an agenda I'm trying to provide a neutral page. Anarousedtuna (talk • contribs) 05:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Re: Edits to the "Gamergate controversy" article

I think it would be best at this point if you either refrained from further edits to the Gamergate page or toned down on your frequency. You have made 61 of the last 500 edits to the article and are the second most frequent editor within that period. At this point I believe it would be best if less invested contributors took over. If you have any concerns about NPOV or SPAs, your argument will be strengthened by relegating such observations to the appropriate resolution channels and engaging the community in these issues. In this spirit, I will also refrain from making any further edits to the article and limit myself to suggestions on the talk page.--ArmyLine (talk) 21:35, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

there is no value in people who are "less invested" in Wikipedia's policies and representing the reliable sources having more editing of the article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

If every SPA devoted to introducing nonsense about living people into this article similarly agreed to not edit, I might consider this. But Titanium Dragon won't even agree to *not mention Zoe Quinn for a month*, so invested are they in depicting her negatively. So no. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 22:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Your video game journalism revert

Why did you revert the allegations of several other people other than Nathan Grayson saying they're not relevent people? These other people were also accused for harming journalistig integrity. --Artman40 (talk) 11:03, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Your sentence makes literally no sense, and this discussion belongs on the article's talk page. Please take your issues there. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 11:54, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

It makes sense but the fact that other 4 people who have received accusations were not mentioned in mainstream media for some reason is still notable. --Artman40 (talk) 12:07, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, no, it makes no sense, because "accused for harming journalistic integrity" is not a comprehensible phrase. What is "harming journalistic integrity," which reliable source made the accusations and is there any substantiation for any of the claims? NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:07, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "GamerGate (controversy)".
