Autism

I want some further explanation on this issue. These sources do not look that bad and I got them in the same manner I find other sources I add to Wikipedia (none of which have been reverted). How is it determined that these are not "secondary peer-reviewed studies"? Thylacinus cynocephalus (talk) 22:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

@Thylacinus cynocephalus: No worries, I'll explain. I'd like to first mention that one should, of course, establish consensus before adding information that might be controversial or disputed; Such things should be mentioned on the articles talk page. But apart from that, now about the sources. Your sources were not bad in and of themselves, but they were pretty poor and are outweighed by the rest of the sources in the article. A secondary peer-reviewed source is a source that contains research and also references other studies/journals. It is then reviewed and evaluated thoroughly by non-involved researchers to improve credibility and eliminate possible biases or issues. Of course, not all references have to be like that in Wikipedia articles, but if we are dealing with a Featured article (especially about medicine), then definitely. One source that you added (this one) is decent, but it talks about possible art traits in autistics during the Upper Palaeolithic and not really about whether it was a disability or not. Also, the news references were unreliable because pretty much all of them either referenced that study or was just poorly sourced.

About the text that you wrote, it was fine, but somewhat non-adhering to WP:MOS. By writing that "they may have been seen as having an advantage" was somewhat twisted by the news sources, and another issue arises. According to whom would they have an advantage? If they were grouped as being excellent at art, they would most likely still be ostracised for behaviour and sociability, and thus, not have evidence to suggest that ancient humans categorized them for us to research them one day. Autistic people existed at times where there were communication and cooperation, and it is unlikely that autism then is vastly different from what it is now.

Summary:

• One should establish consensus before making changes to a controversial or featured article.
• Top-quality sources are not always needed but are preferred, especially in featured articles.
• One should be careful with wording as to not cause confusion or possible misinformation, keeping non-weasel wording out of view is also good.

I hope you understand, Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 23:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Okay, but that one source did talk about whether or not it was a disability (page 266). What should I ask on the talk page? Thylacinus cynocephalus (talk) 02:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Thylacinus cynocephalus: That source could probably be used, but currently, there are some problems going on. The autism article has to be completely rewritten top to bottom because it no longer reflects the ICD10/11 and the DSM 5 criteria and information. Most sources are from 2009 and older, you can see that there are many tags and maintenance templates regarding these issues, and many editors are gathering to get new studies and rewrite the article (you could also join if you want to). On the talk page, you can see many discussions regarding featured article review and other issues. You can perhaps bring that source up regarding the history section on the talk page. Cheers.

Adolf Hitler edit summary

About this. I realise at 1200 edits you may not be familiar with the editor you directed that comment at, but you should be aware of WP:NPA. To say that it is evident that they are not here to build an encyclopaedia looks rather foolish as well as being a PA. A quick check would have revealed that they are one of our most productive contributors, with 200k+ edits and 170+ Articles created over the last decade. They may not have wanted to point that out to you but I will. DeCausa (talk) 10:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@DeCausa: Apologies, didn't know that. Thanks for bringing this up to my attention. Cheers! Wretchskull (talk) 10:14, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok - although the apologies are due to BMK not me. DeCausa (talk) 10:19, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Bike edit as a transportation to mecca

Hi, I can understand it is uncyclopedic...but why however? I am not exactly sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OjuzKiopo (talk • contribs) 16:28, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Cheadle Hulme

Please tell me exactly why you are reverting my improvements? You don’t need to get consensus for every change made, especially uncontroversial ones. I’ve been editing since 2006 and I wrote the article back in 2009. Don’t revert me again like some vandal or newbie. I’ve improved the article’s main image and added information. Again, explain why I need consensus before making an uncontroversial change to an article (that it’s featured is irrelevant). In what way has the article been been made worse by my improvements? 80.44.193.2 (talk) 13:58, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

@80.44.193.2: The reason I reverted is because you changed the lede image without consensus. After looking at the two pictures more and more I honestly don't really mind your new image. I addressed that it is featured because FAs should be stable (though this may or may not fit in this case). Anyway, I'll just let it pass, thanks for the contribution.

Wikipedia:Requests for page protection

Hi Wretchskull. I've declined a number of your requests at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Please be advised that only pages with severe ongoing disruption (i.e. multiple reverts from different users in the past 24h) will be considered for protection. Thanks, FASTILY 22:52, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Okay. They seemed kind of highly-vandalised, as that is what happens with articles about general everyday things (names, items, etc.). Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 10:22, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to evaluate edits for automatically detecting issues in statements

Hi Wretchskull,

I am reaching out to you because of your experience with recent changes patrolling. We are building an automated system that can suggest specific improvements on Wikipedia statements (like removing bias, clarifying, adding citations) based on editing guidelines.

For that, we need the opinion of experienced editors on the semantic intentions (e.g., point-of-view edits, clarifications, adding citations) of a small number of Wikipedia edits. The evaluation will take place remotely, online over Zoom. If Zoom is difficult, I can also send the link to the evaluation page over email to finish asynchronously.

The evaluation will take approximately 1 hour to complete and you will be compensated 30 USD per hour for the same. Alternatively, we can donate this compensation to Wikipedia on your behalf, if you so choose.

Please let me know here if you are willing to participate in our study. We will be grateful for your participation in helping us assess the effectiveness of our system to improve Wikipedia.

For more information, see the research page. Sumit (talk) 01:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Big Bang

@Blockhouse321: Judging from your time you joined Wikipedia, you might not have been here long enough to understand the important details of Wikipedia, which is fine. A bibliography section (which some articles have) is a list of full references where shortened citations can be clicked so that a person can get what the source is from, instead of just the short citation. When you removed the book, the reference "Asad 1980" could no longer be clicked and is therefore no longer a verifiable source because there is no book to associate it with, it would just say "Asad 1980". Please make sure you understand how to cite sources before making citing alterations to Wikipedia. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 18:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Wretchskull: The Quran has absolutely nothing to do with the Big Bang theory. If someone has used it as a citation, so be it, but it should definitely not be listed in the bibliography. Before you leave messages on my talk page, you should apply your intellect first and think! Blockhouse321 (talk) 18:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Blockhouse321: See WP:CIVILITY, WP:CITING before you run your mouth at me like this. I know that the Quran has nothing to do with the Big Bang, but I do not care who put it there and what citation it is (as long as it is secondary and relevant), if there is a short citation I said that it SHOULD have a bibliography where the book citation can be clicked otherwise it would just should "Asad 1980" and would no longer be a real source, but you didn't even bother to check if you're wrong. Sometimes one has to learn that one is not always right and that one makes mistakes. I will keep a close eye on your contributions judging from your behavior. If it continues I will have to take this to ANI. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 18:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Also, why did you remove my comment from your talk page and replaced it here? If a discussion is going on your talk page then it should be there. Wretchskull (talk) 18:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Be careful, wiki-stalking me through my edits is called Hounding. Warning, stop now! Blockhouse321 (talk) 18:57, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Listen mate, I have no time for your nonsense. First of all, hounding is where you disruptively annoy a user by joining their discussions and aggressively editing their edits, but the paragraph right below the explanation of the guideline says that it can be done in good faith where an editor breaks guidelines. You have shown your side of incivility and not understanding how to cite sources, burying your head and not listening instead of accepting criticism (and ignoring my argument about your actions and instead deciding to accuse me of wikihounding). Please, read the guidelines and acknowledge mistakes, acting like this will result in consequences in the future, as that is what happens to many stubborn editos. Cheers.

Methane and life at the surface (The paper by McKay, C. and Smith, H.)

Hey there! I just wanted to explain that the source for my additions to the section about Chris McKay's paper "McKay, C. P.; Smith, H. D. (2005). "Possibilities for methanogenic life in liquid methane on the surface of Titan"" was the paper itself, which was already there as a citation. NixonFan1962 (talk) 12:53, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Christopher Hitchens

Most influence sections don't have any sources at all. Some editor came along and vandalized it, taking it down. You're all assisting him in vandalizing a perfectly good list that now has sources. If you want to destroy good information, be my guest. I'm out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:C281:79F0:B84C:3A1F:9C7:907F (talk) 08:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I've reported you to info-en-v@wikimedia.org for vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:C281:79F0:B84C:3A1F:9C7:907F (talk) 09:53, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm not going to just take your word for it that you're doing this in good faith. You're reported. Deal with it.

You are absolutely not assuming good faith, you haven't read a single thing that I said. Also, reporting me for reverting your disruptive editing? That's unfortunately not how it works mate. Report me all you want. Wretchskull (talk) 10:00, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

When you remove whole chunks of a person's work, even the parts that aren't referencing YouTube when your complaint is about referencing YouTube, it's not good faith. It's vandalism.

It doesn't matter, you must change them. Is that hard? Also by the way, you still cannot add an entire book of influences. Wretchskull (talk) 10:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

When a list (not my list in the first place) is taken down and I'm told it can't be put back up until all influences are referenced, I damn well can. It doesn't matter if I put 15 references for each person, that just improves the quality of the list.

What you are saying doesn't make sense. First of all, spamming more references doesn't mean better verifiability, it is just WP:OVERCITE and shows your ignorance about Wikipedia guidelines while trying to "win" a dispute. Also no, you cannot add whatever you want; Wikipedia is driven by WP:CONSENSUS. Spamming millions of influences is poor MOS as only the most notable ones should generally be mentioned. You also show ignorance about vandalism and good faith. You reporting me is probably a lie because that would just generate trouble for yourself. Trying to win disputes this way with people who know far more about Wikipedia will always backfire. Wretchskull (talk) 10:15, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

You can feel good about removing good information that might've been helpful to people. Good night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:C281:79F0:B84C:3A1F:9C7:907F (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Again, you're not really trying to learn anything. I have added a request for a third opinion, and an uninvolved editor will judge the situation. I'm just telling you mate, trying to stubbornly win disputes won't work. Sometimes one has to listen. I have dealt with similar people but their responses were fare more respectful and they grew significantly as editors. By the way: you edit was reverted by someone else. This should show you the dissatisfaction of the edits. Please, we are glad to have more editors but when you ignore collaboration, issues occur. Take care. Wretchskull (talk) 10:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I reverted the edit of the IP because they are not following Wikipedia protocols and added advice on their talk page. I don't know whether you have reported them to admins but I think they should be given the chance to engage with the Wikipedia processes and see if they will stop edit warring before doing so now that a second editor has reverted them. Robynthehode (talk) 11:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries, I haven't reported them. I only spoke to them and requested a third opinion, I just hope the editor familiarizes themselves with Wikipedia. Thank you for your involvement. Wretchskull (talk) 11:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry for losing my cool. I've slimmed the list down, removed YouTube as a source. I don't have the time to fill out the citations entirely but the links are there. I filled out the citations for each. Also, you guessed right that I didn't actually report you for anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:346:C281:79F0:B84C:3A1F:9C7:907F (talk) 08:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I see the 3rd Opinion request. Bravo! I applaud your spirit. May I be so bold as to recommend you put a section on the article's Talk page, with a civil and (as much as possible) unbiased summary of the issue, and link to that new section from the 3OP page? Someone can then give their opinion there. Perhaps it's not so appropriate for a user's talk page. (Or is it?) To misquote Churchill: WP:BRD, like democracy, is the worst possible system, apart from the alternatives. Chumpih. (talk) 13:33, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chumpih: Thank you! The situation deescalated and my points have been addressed. I withdraw my request, take care! Wretchskull (talk) 13:36, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

It's a delight to see an acceptable resolution. The very best to you all. Chumpih. (talk) 13:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Woodrow Wilson GAN

Hi, regarding your message on Talk:Woodrow Wilson/GA1, I've removed it as I think from reading it it is meant for Talk:Woodrow Wilson/GA2, which is where the most recent assessment comes from, but I haven't added it there as I thought I'd check with you first. CMD (talk) 02:17, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: I did mean to have it at the first GAN. I commented before the second review started. Some editors (most of them are inexperienced) don't seem to understand how to properly review a GAN while adhering to the good article criteria. Wretchskull (talk) 12:45, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

What do you mean? You commented on 20 March, three days after the second review started on 17 March. CMD (talk) 13:16, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: I was unaware that a second review started so I commented on the first GAN. Anyways, the article has been promoted. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 13:17, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

The article has not been promoted, its promotion was undone on 24 March. With this in mind, would you like to shift your comment to GA2? I had already added a comment to indicate the reversal of the assessment, and your comment makes it sound like GA1 is still open. CMD (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: Alright, I will move it. The article has been promoted to GA as of today-ish as per GA2 and talk page consensus. Wretchskull (talk) 13:25, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Unfounded accusation of Vandalism (Eystein Halfdansson)

"Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Eystein Halfdansson. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -Wretchskull"

With no argument for the reversion you simply claimed this, along with the threat, and reverted the simple correction I made. One in line with other languages' Wikipedia pages (Norwegian especially) -- including previous versions of the English one before the ACTUALLY incorrect change you are defending. The version I changed back from is objectively incorrect, and you offered no justification for how I was possibly in violation of Wikipedia:Vandalism, you simply added a scolding note. Terrible impression of the site's culture. The etymology of the word is not connected to the modern word for speed (of Middle Low German origin). This is not in dispute in any way and it is complete nonsense that someone without using sources can just change it from the correct one. THAT revision is vandalism and makes the article misleading. It doesn't matter if it's a silly byname, it is the actual translation. You don't get to just decide differently.

How can you possibly justify this? I am literally in line with the version immediately preceding this unhistorical edit, and yet it's some out-of-nowhere vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.232.40.148 (talk) 00:36, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

@81.232.40.148: Apologies! I was going through recent changes on Wikipedia and the system flagged it as possible vandalism. I checked the edit and I immediately assumed that changing something like "Swift" to "Fart" is vandalism, but I should've checked the context first. By the way, sorry if the message came harshly. It is an automatic template used when warning users for certain edits. I will be more careful, cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 08:39, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Commas

Thanks for explaining comma rules in your edit summary in the tiger page!! None of the 20 top-most editors ever had the idea in past couple of years that these would be necessary. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 13:08, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@BhagyaMani: You're welcome! Though keep in mind that there are some exceptions and additional rules to adding/removing commas. This site has some elementary rules on commas. Take care! Wretchskull (talk) 14:07, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the link!! Would you be so kind to check commas + punctuation in Jaguar? ..whenever you have time. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 09:06, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Important message regarding you

Hi Wretchskull,

I appreciate your time and efforts in guiding me on citations for articles.Before staring making any editions in wikipedia article I understand the subject,reliable sources,guidance from authors in talk pages for wiki policy.I also noted the guidance and caution suggested by you for future and will adhere to them.Kindly share the specific instances where the policy is missed so that I can learn from it.I thank you again.Cheers.Gardenkur (talk) 14:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Gardenkur: It's my pleasure! Regarding citations that didn't adhere to policies I unfortunately saw quite a lot. WP:RS basically lists all types of sources to cite and which ones to ignore. It is quite hard to exactly pinpoint references that are bad as most sources that you add are refgroups. But do not worry too much, you will eventually learn subconsiously. There are some other issues; I see that you often use the same reference at multiple locations (example) which increases the risk of plagiarism. I also see that you often add too many links (see WP:OVERLINK for info on what to link and why overlinking is bad). Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 14:58, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

archiving live links

Hi, I noticed that you reverted my edit on ‪Elizabeth II‬, commenting "Do not archive live links"—would you mind giving me a source for that? I personally believe archiving live links can serve as a very useful reference for readers and editors (especially with websites that are liable to change article content over time), and can also serve as a powerful prophylactic measure against link rot.
Yours, Yitz (talk) 11:30, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Yitzilitt: Greetings. If archiving all links were good, everyone would do it. The problem with it is that by archiving live links, the corresponding links to sources (not journals, studies, etc.) can never be updated, and so, it will be difficult to tell if the current information on the article is outdated or not. Some vital articles (such as Earth) have had editors revert your archiving because it could probably pose such a possibility. Note that I am not 100% certain of this rule of thumb as I did not read from a real and established Wikipedia guideline but it seems logical. Wretchskull (talk) 11:45, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying your opinion. I would respectfully disagree with you on this, however, as A) many live links are in fact archived throughout Wikipedia (I would have to estimate around 1/5th-6th of live links or so are archived, though that's just a rough guesstimate based on personal observation), so it's not like nobody is already doing this, B) the exact date of archival is alway given and clearly stated with the tool I use, so it should be clear if the archived version is particularly outdated (not to mention the fact that the original un-archived source is given first), and C) the vast majority of my edits of this nature on popular articles seem to be uncontested, which indicates to me that my position is not wildly unpopular. I've stopped edits of this sort since seeing your rollback out of caution, and I'll wait another day or until/unless you respond to this, but if there aren't any further objections, I think I'll continue my archival work after that. I do appreciate your feedback though, and won't contest or edit war with any of your prior or future rollbacks of this nature out of respect for your position. Yours, Yitz (talk) 19:11, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Yitzilitt: Thank you for being candid; I understand your point of view much better now! If you want to archive links, you are free to do so. I am not too informed about archiving so I cannot really judge which articles should and shouldn't be fully archived, or whether these rules even exist. I have seen some editors revert your archives but I doubt if they are fully justified; you probably have to ask the teahouse for an answer. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 08:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Re: Yamato People Page

Hello, Thank you for your concern. Please check out the reference he's using. He's hiding behind his ID to distort the article, and writes a totally opposite conclusion on Wikipedia from the reference he is using. For instance, the reference concludes that " although similar in appearance, Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean are different in terms of genetic make-up, and the difference among the three groups are much larger than that between northern and southern Han Chinese." HOWEVER, he writes on the Wikipedia article as if the reference shows "Chinese, Japanese, and Korean" are indistinguishable. He clearly has a mal-intention to distort the article, and for that, he's using multiple IDs. I guess we have to do something about it. Thank you Jejuminjok (talk) 12:27, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Jejuminjok: Thanks for bringing this to my attention upon my leaving. I have requested page protection of the page so that they can hopefully stop. Wretchskull (talk) 12:44, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Articles do not require a discussion about notability before they can be tagged

Regarding this edit summary you left on Too Hot (Jason Derulo song), there does not need to be a prior discussion before an article can be tagged for a concern about its notability. Any editor can tag an article with the template if they believe it may not meet our criteria for notability. I have no idea where you got the idea that there needs to be "consensus or prior discussion" to even tag an article. That's particularly silly—"let's have a discussion to even place a template on an article"? That is not a common thing. Besides all of that, there have been concerns about the article's notability, regardless of whether you think it passes—another editor has said twice [1], [2] that they believe it isn't and have even redirected it once, and another editor has restored the article multiple times (both editors are sockpuppets of blocked editors, but anyway). I put the template there as a middle ground between them. It was a compromise on my part. Ss112 20:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ss112: Greetings! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was going through random articles and stumbled upon the tag, confused as to how it could be on a song from a relatively distinguished artist. Apart from the consensus issue, which is just silly on my part, I'm not sure if the article should've been tagged. Anyway, I assume the issue has been solved, cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 08:12, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Covid-19 pandemic

you deleted my impact on the article. Please restore. contains very important information on global sanity. The federal agency of civil education is a very reliable source. : https://www.bpb.de/politik/innenpolitik/coronavirus/308483/pandemien-umwelt-und-klima is an official german governement linked website. feel so sorry for you not speaking german. please use translator and check the origin. i already requested the agency to translate the article in proper english. WikiYeti (talk) 15:28, 3 April 2021 (UTC)WikiYeti

@WikiYeti: It seemed like a very bold claim in the lead section and the source doesn't cut it for such a claim. Perhaps the studies that mention such things should be there instead. Discuss it on the talk page before adding it back. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 13:36, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Comma

Hi Wretchskull. You said in your edit summary here: "Do not try to hide the edit under that edit summary. Again, it is grammatically incorrect. Want me to explain it again? Subordinate - subordinate - main clause means there should be a comma. Removing it makes it grammatically incorrect." I'm not quite sure what you meant by "try to hide". But I'd like to reiterate that I think your use of that comma in that way was simply incorrect. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Martinevans123: This issue has been resolved. I understood what you tried to say, however, the removal of the comma would still be grammatically incorrect. I have simply reworded the beginning of the sentence because removing the comma only introduces more errors. Wretchskull (talk) 16:52, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I disagree. The removal of that comma would not still be grammatically incorrect. There is nothing you can say that will change my mind, sorry. Thanks for rewording it. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:54, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

It is grammatically incorrect regardless of what anyone thinks. I can't really change your mind if you disagree with grammatical facts. It is an extremely common grammatical error where people believe there shouldn't be a comma because that very clause already has one next to the date (in this case it was "[...] in 2018,"). It was a sentence adverb (examples: however, recently, also, etc. There are some elementary rules about commas and sentence adverbs here). It is a word that precedes the rest of the sentence. I understand what you mean, though. Putting "also, in 2018" suggests that 2018 was not mentioned already, but it was, so removing the comma might seem logical. It is, but, it would be grammatically incorrect because it is a sentence adverb, which is why I reworded the sentence instead. Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 17:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Whether there is or is not a "grammatical error" will depend, at least in part, on the intended meaning. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Franz Liszt revert

I had a question about the removal of the Franz Lizst infobox. The Revision history stated "Reverted good faith edits by Fastrack98 (talk): This has been discussed. An infobox on composers is discouraged", and I am wondering, where has it been discussed? Where should I check to know more? Thanks. Fastrack98 (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@Fastrack98: No problem. If you want to see the actual debates, here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Infobox debates. If you want to read a summary of what the main issues with composer infoboxes are, here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Composers#Biographical infoboxes. Take care. Wretchskull (talk) 08:25, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Christopher Hitchens

Appreciate the good faith revert but the source isn't simply a youtube video, it's Hitchens being interviewed. Thus youtube is not the source, only a medium by which we can view the source, in this case the source being Hitchens himself.v--Jamirowikee (talk) 21:36, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@Jamirowikee: Greetings. Although I do not necessarily object against it that much, YouTube should generally not be linked as per WP:YOUTUBE. You can see that other editors are dissatisfied and have also reverted your edit. By the way, please read WP:BRD, cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 07:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Stop Wiki-Stalking

Stop Hounding by tracking me through my edits, it is against Wikipedia policy! Blockhouse321 (talk) 08:41, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

@Blockhouse321: you are yet again not willing to cooperate or improve your behaviour. What you think is "Wikistalking" is allowed if you clearly break guidelines, as you did many times. By me checking on your edits it is obvious that this continues, therefore, I have you on my watchlist. I wouldn't have done that if you were more civil and were willing to improve. Wretchskull (talk) 08:44, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

You have just admitted to Wiki-Stalking, which is harassment and against Wikipedia policy. You have been warned for the last time by me to stop Hounding! Blockhouse321 (talk) 08:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

@Blockhouse321: I cannot take you seriously anymore. Keep making these false accusations again and I will have to take this to ANI. The paragraph literally right below the first one says that it is allowed if I track someone who is (along the lines of) clearly new and breaking multiple guidelines. WP:HOUND. I just truly can't take things like this seriously; it is not just WP:OVERLINK but just so mediocre and childish to the point where I do not care. Wretchskull (talk) 08:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Some trout soup for you for your contributions at Chess

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Symptom: According to MaxBrowne2, "one of the worst reverts I have seen on Wikipedia". Potential adverse effects: Experts at their field who are new to Wikipedia, such as Cazaux, being repelled from the platform. Diagnosis: You're in desperate need of some WP:ONLYREVERT treatment.

Huge apologies, I didn't know what I was thinking when I did that. I quickly glanced over the edit and for some reason thought it was worthy of revert. I will also apologise to the respective individuals. Wretchskull (talk) 20:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Chad

Hi there. I can't say you're wrong: after the article became a FA, no major additions were made to it, so the article in some sections, like the one you mentioned, is seriously outdated. Unfortunately, I only edit rarely these days due to work and the latter will be especially intense in the coming weeks. I can't promise anything but I'll see if I can find some time later (the biggest issue here is gathering authentically reliable sources, something that's not easy to obtain a neglected country like Chad).Aldux (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

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 the Arab–Israeli conflict. 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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from James W. Fowler into Psychology of religion. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:10, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

@Diannaa: I see, thank you for the information! Wretchskull (talk) 09:40, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

British Empire

It is exceptionally poor behaviour to revert an edit because it's not sourced and then when the editor sources it properly, to cite another (dubious) reason and revert again. I can see absolutely nothing in the FAR policy that says minor edits to an article unrelated to the gist of the FAR request are not allowed. You say Consensus is required for an edit on a page in FAR, this is nonsense and directly contradicts WP:BOLD. I'd suggest reading the FAR policy before applying it incorrectly. Ecrm87 (talk) 09:56, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

@Ecrm87: I reverted your edit due to the text being completely unreferenced, but even after you added references, this specific situation is very complicated. The article has been at FAR since October 2020 (the longest that I've personally seen), and people are currently very careful with what to add and remove (WP:DUE). I honestly don't really mind your edit, but I'd say it's best to quickly ask on the talk page and just see if those who are most involved with the article can assess if the text is due. Sidenote: I didn't mean that FARs require consensus to edit, but that this specific article during this period may do. All best - Wretchskull (talk) 10:41, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Franz Liszt's life rewrite

Hello, Wretchskull. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Franz Liszt's life rewrite, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occurred, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 00:02, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Misuse of WP:RFPP

Please stop making reports to RFPP for pages that clearly don't meet the criteria outline on the page (e.g. [3]). Ultraviolet only had two reverts since the beginning of October. Nearly all of your recent reports have been rejected per "not enough recent activity." Protection is intended to handle chronic vandalism, or acute bursts of vandalism from multiple users, not occasional vandalism, which happens across the board. Your efforts to improve Wikipedia are certainly appreciated, but for simple occasional vandalism, please warn the user appropriately, then report to WP:AIV if they persist. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: Sorry, I find it difficult to tell when it is appropriate to send a request. The line seems to be blurred between valid and invalid requests as my requests are accepted at times but declined if it is a different admin judging, or will be declined by the same admin who some time earlier accepts one with less vandalism. I will try to be more careful though, cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 17:22, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Admittedly the interpretations between different admins can be fuzzy, but can't imagine any admin judging Ultraviolet to be in need of protection given the recent history. What I'm looking for when I look at page histories: are there multiple vandalism hits from multiple users over the last week or longer, or a larger cluster within the scope of a shorter time? Species was given short protection because within a span of 1 week, it was vandalized four times by three IPs. If the vandalism is coming from one user or IP, AIV is a better option. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:29, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

While I think its time for me to admit, my IP range 2001:4455:364:A800:0:0:0:0/64 will probably also be blocked tomorrow at ANI for unintentionally causing a drama when I redirected an article with no source at Talk:Yoichi Asakawa. As a non-existing account, we tried contributing as well, since there's no way for us to be unblocked like the guy on who edited Russia. Just because We live in the same country as the LTA, doesn't mean we are like them (Admins thought base on their checkusers). I'm likely to be stressed out if all of my edits were reverted. Hoping you for a better opportunity. 2001:4455:364:A800:9DB4:9E57:540C:7E19 (talk) 10:13, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words! Don't worry though. If you aren't a sock, your edits won't be reverted. Wretchskull (talk) 10:27, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

I am, but not an LTA like what the checkuser guy before thinks. 2001:4455:364:A800:9DB4:9E57:540C:7E19 (talk) 10:30, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
