Black Kite
Hi, I'm an administrator here, and have been since 2007. I'll try to answer any questions here as soon as I can, though I do have periods where I'm not available. For admins: if you think I've done something really f***ing stupid and I don't respond to a question about it, please feel free to reverse it ... we can work it out later on.

If you email me via Wikipedia, please leave me a note here (unless there's a good reason you do not want that fact to be public). I do check my Wikipedia email fairly regularly, but not that regularly.

System of a Down

I hope I have restored the heritage to your satisfaction. The point is that in the short description and the beginning of the lead sentence, we should avoid hyphenated terms. Those two spots should be solely nationality/country of residence. For clarity, we avoid combining that with ethnicity. It just takes a bit of rephrasing, generally, to satisfy both while following the guidelines. In any case, I don't want to tangle with you so I hope my modification is acceptable to you.

OK, that's better. My issue was that removing the hyphenated term removed the reference to Armenian heritage if it was not then referenced elsewhere, especially given that it is a big part of the referenced individual's background. Black Kite (talk) 08:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fishing Publication

Fishing Publication is at it again at Scott Adams, completely disregarding your warning. Stoarm (talk) 02:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the courtesy of pinging me to the discussion. I feel the need to say first off, and of course this is expected on Wikipedia, assume good faith and everything, I really don't have any problem with you, I don't see you as an adversary and I'm not trying to undo all of your hard and constructive work on Scott Adams, and in this light it is concerning to me that you've listed my username as the title of this section; typically the heading of a section of a talk page refers to the subject or problem of the comments below – but I digress; and have to disagree with your accusation, I'm not edit warring, I started a discussion on the talk page as you asked, I believe your remarks weren't relevant (you stated the content was reliably sourced – I'm not seeking to remove any content, only attribute and edit wording) –-- I waited three days for you or any other contributors to respond – and assuming that you had no further problem I restored my version of the article, whereupon you immediately accused me of edit warring and ignoring a warning from Black Kite. You also immediately remove a template notice for edit warning (as I also received) left by uninvolved administrator User:ScottishFinnishRadish advising them to 'discuss it with Black Kite', which also raises certain questions; I have to ask, when have you attempted to form consensus?

Fishing Publication You clearly don't have consensus for the change, so please stop putting it back in. Apart from anything else, it's totally pointless as anyone clicking the ADL link will be able to see what type of organisation they are - as well as being irrelevant in this context. I mean, you wouldn't say "according to the New York Times, a newspaper based in New York ..." would you? Black Kite (talk) 09:36, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well I can see that but what about the other part, "seemingly innocuous", this sounds like POV or editorializing language Fishing Publication (talk) 16:23, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, EEng seems to have accidentally deleted most of the discussion while adding their comment just before you closed it [1]. The outcome isn't going to change, but the deleted content should probably be restored. 192.76.8.84 (talk) 19:02, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
