It's fine to delete or reference it but I didn't post the comment you moved to the NRA talk page. I posted it here. Moving it falsely impressed implies I discussed editor behavior on the article talk page. [[User:Springee|Springee]] ([[User talk:Springee|talk]]) 22:48, 27 December 2019 (UTC) |

Do I have a "Kick Me" sign on my back?

- This doesn't appear to be a request for administrative action, so I'm closing the helpme template. If there's a specific administrative task that you need to be performed in relation to the above edits, please feel free to reinstate the request with more details.

Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections
Guten Abend,
Do you understand that at Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, per page restrictions outlined in Template:Editnotices/Page/Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, you are not allowed to reinstate any edits that have been challenged? I have undone this and this revert of yours, which reinstated challenged [6][7] edits without talk page consensus and included violations of biographies of living persons policy either by citing court documents or stating Adam Schiff's unproved allegation in Wikipedia's voice.
Also, in this edit you reinstated challenged edits saying "I don't see consensus", when in fact, per page restrictions, you need consensus to reinstate challenged edits (see also WP:ONUS). Politrukki (talk) 20:45, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- @Politrukki: Why is this location the only place Template:Editnotices/Page/Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections is used? Not used at Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, for example? The creator of that Template also seemed to have been having some issues at the time of creation.
- If you think that Template is valid, why did you put on my Talk page, and not at Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections?
- Why are you writing in German on English wp?
- PS, you have a curious Username: have you seen fi:Politrukki (redirects to "Komissaari (puna-armeija)"; En redirect of Commissar)? X1\ (talk) 20:57, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- Normally there is no reason to link to an edit notice. Coffee logged the page restrictions and added proper editnotices to the article and talk page, but they apparently forgot to add an explanatory talk page notice, which is shown when someone is reading the talk page.
- If you click an edit link at Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, you'll be reading instructions transcluded from Template:Editnotices/Page/Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, and if you edit the talk page, you'll see longer instructions transcluded from Template:Editnotices/Page/Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.
- If you have read WP:AC/DS#sanctions.page, you have already noticed that an editor may be sanctioned if they (a) are aware of DS and (b) violate page restrictions outlined in an editnotice. In other words, the talk page notice is not mandatory. I have asked Coffee to add a talk page notice to the talk page, but they have not responded.
"If you think that Template is valid, why did you put on my Talk page, and not at Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections?"
– The talk page already has an editnotice. Even though any editor could also add {{American politics AE}} to the talk page as a notice, in order to avoid wikilawyering, it's better to leave it to an uninvolved administrator, and preferably to the administrator who imposed the restrictions."Why are you writing in German on English wp?"
– For the same reason you did here?"have you seen ..."
– I have now. Interesting. And surprising. Thanks. Politrukki (talk) 06:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)- Der Kommissar (see above), I see User:Coffee has been blocked / retired; in April. X1\ (talk) 20:00, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Unless there is follow-up, I will assume this string is moot, and ignore. X1\ (talk) 20:01, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

investigation
Thank you for quality articles such as Timeline of investigations into Trump and Russia (2018), for improving and discussing Sherri W. Goodman, Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and Greenland ice sheet, for lighting a candle, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Wayback
The Wayback machine [8] can be very useful, although it doesnt always work. If you see a dead url just pop it in; if the Wayback machine's bots have crawled it, you will get a list of past "snapshots" of the page. If you have a choice of dates, it's usually best to stay closest/just before the retrieval date of the original Wikipedia citation as page content can get updated or change. Re the Tom Elliot article, Wayback didnt have anything at all for the weekly review city page, so it came up blank, but it was easy enough to find another ref for the information. You can also save urls you want to use as refs there, which is also very handy if you suspect a page might get taken down or changed. There are other archive sites, but Wayback has the reputation for being the most reliable. Curdle (talk) 01:22, 15 May 2019 (UTC) Update- Look at WP:DEADLINK. I've used Archive is before too Curdle (talk) 03:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Standard notice refresher
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 shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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.
June 2019
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The banner at the top of this talk page is dishonest for an editor who is apparently trying to re-open old disputes.
If you have a specific issue, rather than just asking me whether I want to stir up trouble, be specific. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:13, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Robert McClenon: see my comment at your talk page. X1\ (talk) 20:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Threatening good faith editors who are fixing disruptive edits is not right and clearly violates AGF. Instead, warn the one making the disruptive edit. -- BullRangifer (talk) 21:12, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

custom message
Hi... if you don't know, that template is strictly FYI. It is part of the procedures for "DS", and is fully explained by clicking on the links in the template itself. I placed the same thing on my own page, and will try to make sure recent Climate crisis editors all have one. No biggie. Just a procedural thing. But be sure to read about DS if you don't already know. Carry on! NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:24, 24 September 2019 (UTC)resol
Hi X1\, it looks like you're focusing on the positive end of the reliability spectrum this time! Personally, I would do things a little bit differently here compared to the deprecation RfCs.
- The "Wikipedia proposals" (
prop
) RfC category is usually for proposals that have concrete effects. I tend to tag deprecation RfCs with this category, becuase implementing an edit filter is a concrete measure. However, the "generally reliable..." designation is more of an endorsement rather than a concrete action, and I wouldn't use the "Wikipedia proposals" category for RfCs that don't ask for something like deprecation or blacklisting. Ultimately, there are no strict guidelines for RfC categories, and it's up to you to decide which categories you want to use. - After the moratorium RfC, I renamed the "generally reliable" designation to "generally reliable in its areas of expertise" in order to help address the concerns some editors had about the classification being too broad of an endorsement. If you can tighten the wording of the RfC a bit – from "generally reliable" to "generally reliable for news coverage" – that should address this issue. Also, "generally reliable..." RfCs tend to be less well-received than deprecation RfCs, since uncontroversial sources that don't run afoul of WP:RS are presumed to be usable.
Now that you're more familiar with starting RfCs, it would be great if you could also consider closing some RfCs once you feel comfortable enough to do so. The requests for closure noticeboard (WP:RFCL or WP:ANRFC) lists all of the elapsed RfCs that are waiting for uninvolved experienced editors to close. The closing instructions (WP:CLOSE) tell you everything you need to get started. There are many RfCs in the backlog, and by closing some of the ones you're not involved in, you help direct the attention of other closers to the RfCs you are involved in (which speeds up their closure). Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about closing discussions. — Newslinger talk 00:10, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Newslinger::
- As I learn more and get more time I will attempt closing some RfCs. X1\ (talk) 19:20, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, X1\! — Newslinger talk 20:46, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- One last thing: it looks like leaving a blank
rfcid
parameter in the {{rfc}} tag prevents the RfC from being added to the RfC categories. I've removed them to let Legobot process the tags. These RfCs should receive more attention after they're added to the categories and publicized through the feedback request service. — Newslinger talk 08:57, 21 October 2019 (UTC)- @Newslinger: wow, I never would have thought of that happening. I was attempting to make the process faster, as you may have guessed. I have so much to learn. X1\ (talk) 22:26, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- No problem, that was the first time I saw this issue and I didn't know it would happen, either. You're doing great! — Newslinger talk 22:59, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
