RfC on male expendability

You are being contacted because you participated in this NPOV noticeboard discussion. There is now an active RfC on this issue on the Male expendability talk page. You are welcome to lend your voice to the discussion. Darkfrog24 (talk) 17:02, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

If I do lend the discussion my voice, can I get it back later? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Clozee

How can you say there has not been discussion? Stub was creating in english after seeing clozee in french using independent sources. Was denied by user MurielMary on September 11 because in users opinion "IMO her achievements" are not notable. Now same user comes back months later to remove page? Artedm (talk) 02:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Artedm, I responded at the draft talk page. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Times Machine volume and issue information

Hey,

Many thanks for the Tanahey searches. Would you happen to know whether the articles could easily be associated with their issues' volume and issue numbers, for a more complete citation, especially given the offline/paywall nature of the sources? No worries if that's unfeasible, but it would be greatly appreciated.

– John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 05:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi JMW! Good call on the complete citations, I'll add the info soon. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Contentious topics procedure adopted

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.

The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.

The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.

This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Constant unsourced DOB Edits by 24.219.36.2

Hi, you have restricted this user before and same IP is still posting unsourced DOB on this page. Can you please assist? Thank you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Leila_Rahimi 205.178.18.180 (talk) 15:36, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi IP205. It wasn't me that restricted that other IP, but our friendly neighborhood binational root vegetable, ScottishFinnishRadish. SFR, you blocked 24.219.36.2 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) back in October for a month for adding unsourced DOB to Leila Rahimi. They're back and are now just adding the unsourced year of birth; see edits on 12/8, 12/9, 12/9, and 12/14. Year of birth is less of a privacy concern, but it still needs a source. I'm only seeing unreliable scraper sites mentioning even the year. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:01, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Blocked again, this time for three months. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

What an exquisite card, Beccaynr. Thanks! Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:35, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Happy holidays!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Firefangledfeathers!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Raccoons! What a lovely choice. Happy holidays to you too Rhodo. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Hey, I get why you removed the Jan 6th bit. If a more credible source comes out, could you let me know/revert it.

Thank you, Cyan CyanCat8991 CyanCat8991 05:17, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi CyanCat8991, looks like you learn quick! I'll be on the lookout for more sources. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 09:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from Lavanya Rawat on User:Lavanya Rawat (08:20, 28 December 2022)

Add image --Lavanya Rawat (talk) 08:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

@Lavanya Rawat: if you'd like to upload an image for use on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Uploading images. Once it's uploaded, or if you find an already uploaded image that you'd like to use, you can follow the instructions at Help:Pictures to insert an image into an article. I'd be happy to help you further with any of those steps. Welcome, and good luck! Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 09:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Edit question on sensitive topic

I got your message on editing a sensitive topic. Ottoman history or Turkish cities or anything related seem to attract much attention form nationalist editors. I could use some guidance. In the history of Van section there is a subsection that does not relate to any history or period but a controversial event. Actual history of the relevant period is totally missing meanwhile. I tried to address this and even the most minor edit to paragraph heading was immediately reverted. I tried to discuss in the talk page but no takers, only reverts. What venue should I follow, what are my options? How can I get an impartial judgement on this? Article itself is need of much work but I am concerned about edit warriors. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hudavendigar (talk • contribs) 23:10, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Hudavendigar, I responded at the article talk page. I'd give that discussion more time before seeking other venues, but you might like to start reading WP:DR for some future options, pretty much all of which require lengthy local discussion as a starting point. Some advice: try not to assume bad faith on the part of other editors (e.g. that they're motivated by nationalism), and please try and ensure your communication does not hint at Armenian genocide denialism.

Why do you believe that all meninists are anti-feminists or misogynists

@Firefangledfeathers:, Why do you believe that all meninists are anti-feminists or misogynists, please explain it. Lefjag (talk) 07:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Lefjag, and happy new year. I'm not sure why you're making assumptions about what I believe, when I gave clear reasons for reverting your edits. Just to re-iterate, you should not add unsourced content and simultaneously tag the addition with [citation needed]; the WP:BURDEN for finding sources is on whoever adds the content. I reverted your next edit because it was unsupported by the cited source. PS: you don't need to ping users on their own talk pages, as a post there automatically generates a notification. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 07:30, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

@Firefangledfeathers:, I am requesting you to get informed about Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj who is and Indian female and she is a men's rights activist. Happy New Year's greetings to you too and cheers. Lefjag (talk) 07:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Firefangledfeathers,

New Page Review queue December 2022

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Reminders

• Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
• There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• If you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Thanks ...

for your solid editing on Alliance Defending Freedom and many other articles. Happy New Year! Goodtablemanners (talk) 18:14, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF, formerly Alliance Defense Fund) is an American conservative Christian legal advocacy group[6] that works to curtail rights for LGBTQ people;[7] expand Christian practices within public schools and in government;[8][9] and outlaw abortion.

canvassing

You mind saying what account emailed you? Just want to try to piece some things together. And a very heartfelt thanks for bringing that up, but also I dont think you should feel the need to disqualify yourself because of what some other dishonest person did, as I promise you that others will not have the same scruples anyway. Plus, youve always struck me as fair-minded and policy-oriented, so whatever your view Id welcome it to be added. Take care, and thanks again, nableezy - 17:19, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi nableezy! It was Dur Godiva (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), a Yaniv sock. Thanks for the kind words. I admit to being on the fence about whether participation is reasonable, and I figure I'll err on the safe side. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:36, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Can you help me with Draft:Council_for_Foreign_and_Defense_Policy Ms. Mr. Fire fangled feathers?

hello, happy holidays. What is canvassing? Wikipedia:Canvassing

In general, it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it be done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus.

There was canvassing done via email?

Stealth canvassing: Contacting users off-wiki (by e-mail or IRC, for example) to persuade them to join in discussions (unless there is a specific reason not to use talk pages)

Can you help me with Draft:Council_for_Foreign_and_Defense_Policy Ms. Mr. Fire fangled feathers?

Metro2fsb (talk) 04:12, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Metro2fsb. Just Firefangledfeathers, or FFF, is fine. Yes, someone was canvassing me via email, and I don't think their intent was to broaden participation and achieve a legitimate consensus. I'm not sure I can help with your draft, but I'll take a look. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 04:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
