Please block Lavito principa

Hi, please block Lavito principa as a sock of Lazy-restless.[1] Also if possible delete Draft:Paradoxical Sajid, Pak-Bangla language, Khandaker Abdullah Jahangir under WP:G5. What happend is Lazy-restless creates account, creates draft from IP, waits for some days and then login and edits to became WP:AUTOCONFIRM, and then move article to main namespace. In this way the user gets around G5. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the deletion of Do Kwon tweets

Hi GorillaWarfare!

First off, thank you very much for the adjustments you made on the content that I added. I also realized that you deleted some portion on the Do Kwon page regarding his inflammatory tweets. I do understand your logic behind the deletion: that the page should not amount to becoming a gossip page. However, my only concern is that Kwon’s highly inflammatory tweets need to be documented at some level on the page to fully comprehend the crisis that took place.

My logic behind it is that his twitter account was utilized as one of the main outlets for interaction with his investors, therefore what he said on it needs to be considered on a more official ground rather than mere gossip. In fact, his inflammatory remarks were his “official” responses to valid concerns and questions from experts and investors. Hence, I personally think that they should be recorded accordingly. Secondly, my background in public/private financial regulation tells me that The so called “CEO Risk” is an important factor for investors and governance institutions alike. Meaning, the attitude, ethical characteristics, and likability of the CEO or public official of a certain company/institution is one of the most important factors when analyzing a firm/institution or a crisis in general. In other words, my point is that the “CEO Risk” is very much a real thing in the field and Kwon’s tweets are very indicative of it.

Hence, to sum up, I think it is necessary to document his tweets. I am not sayings “all” of his tweets need to be documented, but at least those that related directly to expert and investor concerns and questions. And of course, ones that have been commented and documented on news articles. I just think some justice needs to be done to those who raised valid concerns to Do Kwon and Terraform Labs via their main interactive platform/outlet, and were subsequently abashed to being “poor” and “cockroaches”.

I do not own or have owned any cryptocurrency to be personally engaged in “gossiping” on Kwon. I simply am concerned that important dimensions such as the “CEO Risk” need to be documented to raise valid awareness for everyday investors that do not have much knowledge on financial regulation. Furthermore, I think that the fact that these everyday investors are not only from South Korea, where the firm mainly began its operations, but resulted to a worldwide crisis only further reflects my point that such dimensions of financial risk need to be pertinently documented to mitigate any more crisis of the kind in the future.

I do not have much experience on Wikipedia, as you can see on my account. I do apologize for any customary shortcomings on interacting with you or other users on Wikipedia. I hope to learn and be guided by more experienced people as I venture about here. Thank you very much for reading this and hope to hear your take on this matter soon.

Genuinely, Babyjust Babyjust (talk) 05:11, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Babyjust: While I understand your argument, Wikipedia articles need to reflect what is described in independent, reliable sources (in proportion to the weight it's given in those sources). That means that we as editors should not be making the decision that Kwon's tweets are noteworthy enough to include based on logic like you present above (such as that they illustrate CEO risk), but rather based on whether other reliable sources have chosen to report about it. I suspect that you could find quality sources that do give weight to those tweets, in which case the inclusion could be justified—but "econovill.com" and Business Insider did not seem sufficient to justify their inclusion. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 15:39, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I understand what you mean. Thanks a lot for the heads up, really. I will try to look for more reliable and independent sources in the future. Thanks again! Babyjust (talk) 03:07, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GorillaWarfare: Hi, just wanted to confirm something about the newly split page of Terra.

I found that the source below was left out on the new page and was wondering whether it was because it was considered an unreliable source?:

[1]

I did rewrite the source in the new format (using the original Korean title) that you laid out. The following is the rewritten source:

[2]

While I do understand that my translations are not the most pitch-perfect ones, I think they still very close to the original meaning. Hence, I just wanted to get confirmation whether the reason of its deletion is its source? Thanks! Babyjust (talk) 02:15, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, the year written needs to be “2022”, not “2021” on the second version of the source. Sorry. Babyjust (talk) 02:17, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Babyjust: Was it previously included? I don't recall removing it, but if you link me to a revision that contained it I might be able give more context. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 02:52, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As per the article about you in The Washington Post from this past month, let me know if you need or want help with any articles related to cryptocurrencies. I also tend to be skeptical about their introduction into the financial system. I recently expanded the section of the Gary Gensler article to include summaries of news items about changes to cryptocurrency regulation in the United States, and I added some news items about to the Cryptocurrency bubble article a few years ago. I'm not a computer scientist, but I did complete an introductory computer programming course in college, as well as the calculus sequence, an introductory macroeconomics course, and an intermediate microeconomics course. If nothing else, I can at least help you keep track of things reported in the news and can try to help read and summarize other information (e.g. books, academic articles) you come across to save you time. I also live in Massachusetts. -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:45, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the grammatical error. But the quote could remain in place until the sources were inserted there (still need to look for a translation). Also wording "vs" is more suitable in my opinion.

Misleading edit on Stephen Bonnell

There is a debated allegation about a living person (Stephen Bonnell) that was added and subsequently removed. Instead of bringing this allegation to the talk page or undoing its deletion with a response, you added the allegation in as a new edit and claimed it was made to "Avoid passive voice". I really hope this was some weird bug where you started to edit the section of text, and then maybe it was deleted and by the time you submitted the edit, it was saved in a weird way... I don't know, but as it looks, it appears malicious, so please consider this a warning that doing this again would lead me to report to administrators for vandalism.

Please discuss the content concerns at Talk:Destiny (streamer)#Keffals edit war.

Peter Eckersley (computer scientist)

I'm not proficient in Wikipedia markup, so forgive me for bad formatting.

In https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peter_Eckersley_(computer_scientist)&diff=next&oldid=1108515044 you removed the cause of death.

The cause of death is clear from this tweet: https://twitter.com/bcrypt/status/1565930964252905473

I know that in general Wikipedia dislikes tweets as information sources, but another information source in the article (https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/peter-eckersley-may-his-memory-be-a-blessing/183854) specifically referred https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Zhu (who is https://twitter.com/bcrypt) as information source as they are close to Peter Eckersley.

What would be a good way to still get the cause of death included?

Given that he passed so recently I am hoping that a proper obituary will be published soon that includes that detail. While I personally agree that Yan is a trustworthy source on this, a tweet can't really be used as a proper source (and the forum post is pushing it also, even though Schoen is also pretty clearly trustworthy on this subject). See WP:SPS. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 13:57, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!
Are you going to try to keep an eye on an obituary? Jpluimers (talk) 14:49, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I set up a Google alert for it so I don't forget. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot! Jpluimers (talk) 09:23, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kiwi Farms

Would it not make more sense to try and get their URL globally banned instead of just English Wikipedia? Trade (talk) 15:28, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You could suggest it at meta:Talk:Spam blacklist#Proposed additions, but my guess is it'll end up being a wiki-by-wiki decision. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Does linking to Kiwi Farm violate global policy or does it not? People can't seem to decide --Trade (talk) 23:05, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think it does; others apparently do not. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 23:15, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
