Banners?

I'm new to Wikipedia, so I was just wondering about the banners you've added to a couple of talk pages (like Amalickiah or Laman and Lemuel. I can't tell if there's anything specifically different about it? I just got notified that you'd added something and am a bit lost. Thanks for your help and understanding!

@BenBeckstromBYU: Welcome to wikipedia! You can see what the edit was by checking out the diffs in the edit history, in this case the diff would look like this [1] which shows that the WP:wikiproject WP:Wikiproject literature was added to the page as a relevant wikiproject.

WP:AGF at Template talk:Latter Day Saint movement

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. P-Makoto (talk) 20:13, 16 February 2024

And what is the good faith explanation for your participation on that talk page? You haven't given one Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:14, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

You showed up on a lot of pages in a very short span of time. There's also Two thousand stripling warriors, Liahona (Book of Mormon), and Zeniff (maybe a few more? Am I missing any). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 20:31, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I was, Wikipedia:Village pump (policy) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamas most wanted playing cards as well. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:35, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy

Hi Horse Eye's Back, I'm highly thankful for every minute you spend providing a detailed third opinion at Talk:Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and engaging with the concerned user and their arguments. Every time I see the discussion, I wonder if protection was the right decision, but if it was, then I think your contributions are the reason why it was, in the end. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:05, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Please quit your WP:HOUNDING behavior. Stop stalking me and following me on Wikipedia. This is not constructive in any manner. I have more than enough proof that you're constantly fixated on making comments on me, a contributor, rather than the content. You have a history of hounding and harassing a number of contributors as well. This is my first and last notice to you regarding this. ℛonherry☘ 16:48, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Buddy I've only commented on a single talk page and a noticeboard discussion... Both of them related. I think you're deflecting. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:50, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

You've commented on two discussions involving me. You found me on the noticeboard discussion of an article and then followed me to a different article - one that you have never contributed to or even remotely within your area of interest. And in that second discussion, you have once again made a personal comment instead of commenting on the article alone, despite me having already told you to stop commenting on me and stick to the disputed content. I'm a contributor who mostly edits in the areas of music and film, with particular interest in pop music and Swift. I'm a member of Taylor Swift, Music, Pop Music and Album wikiprojects. Your area of interest has been religion. The only person who is deflecting here is you. You have made more than four different comments/replies that is not about the content, but about me in bad faith, in a ridiculing tone. I would have to escalate this to a noticeboard if you keep up the behavior. ℛonherry☘ 17:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

So all of this is over approximately four comments on two discussions? That doesn't seem right. My primary area of interest is not religion... What I find odd is the incredibly personal way you appear to be going about remedying an apparent issue of over personalization... None of my contributions have been in bad faith, I would appreciate it if you would retract that personal attack. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:06, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

AllSides

Hi. Open to hearing your thoughts. From what did you get the impression that AllSides is not a reliable source? Precision123 (talk) 03:52, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't stating my opinion, I was stating consensus. Sorry for the misunderstanding. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources where you can see it has a yellow label (generally reliable sources have a green label) Horse Eye's Back (talk) 03:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Is this a conflict of interest?

Hi Horse Eye's Back, I've seen you around on LDS-related topics and also dealing with COIs, so I thought your input might have value. On the main LDS Church article, there is a brand new editor who claims to be a full-time LDS missionary adding material cited exclusively to the church website, and in the latter case removing an independent reference. Is this a conflict of interest? I'm not too sure how to deal with this, so if you're able to assist or advise in any capacity, it would be much appreciated. Left guide (talk) 09:03, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

It is but I assume that the user just isn't aware of our COI policy. I would suggest using Template:Uw-coi in order to educate them about their responsibilities. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 18:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Discussion listed at WP:3O

I've listed a discussion involving us at WP:3O to receive a third opinion that may help us resolve the matter. P-Makoto (she/her) (talk) 00:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments directed at other users

Please do not make comments such as the one in the thread at VPM; while this was not a bright-line violation of linking to their profile, it is still harassment to provide personal details and indicate that you potentially know who they are and are actively tracking their movements. If you have private information that indicates someone is not being truthful, it needs to go to the proper people, not a noticeboard as dirty laundry. Primefac (talk) 14:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: excuse my ignorance but based on the linked page you appear to be one of the proper people. How do I email this to you? Also note that the user edits under their own name, we all know who they are. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Or perhaps you can suggest someone else? I see you are also involved (Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Conflict of interest management) in the LDS COI controversy. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I am not involved in that case, which if I am not mistaken is about a different set of COI issues (but definitely not directly related to this specific issue). You are welcome to email a different administrator if you feel that to be a better solution. Primefac (talk) 16:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I have email enabled. If screenshots etc are not possible, a written record of what you know and/or have seen is suitable. As far as I am aware or can tell, the user in question has not revealed their name, though obviously I have not been through every contribution, but there is nothing in the obvious places (i.e. user pages) to indicate the disclosure was made.
