Peace Dove

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, peoples rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension.
Happy Holidays. ―Buster7  20:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Whpq, can you post here the original text so that I can work from what I had originally added as a reference? I can't start from scratch and it would be going back to square one for me. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 03:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. It was a copyright violation and will not be restored. It is a violation of copyright policy for you to have copied the material into the article, and I would be committing copyright policy violation by restoring it for you. -- Whpq (talk) 03:22, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia orphan

Seeking the attention of an admin on the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia. The article on Olga Bolbukh is an orphan on there and was recently deleted on this Wikipedia for not meeting notability. The article on that Wikipedia has no encyclopedic value either. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Each Wikipedia works by itself, as such you can't delete articles in other languages here. I believe that the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion page would be your best bet for this! TGHL ↗ 🍁 00:50, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review

I have overturned and reopened it in my individual capacity. One thing that I noted from your nomination statement, subsequent follow-up and also some edit summaries was you believe that "this should be no consensus as it was 8-8 and therefore a tie" (very much paraphrased). This is strictly not the case - often in debates, even where numerical contributions are roughly equal, consensus can be found by a closing administrator if they believe one argument is stronger than the other, or one argument has been refuted more than the other. WP:NOTVOTE (an essay) kinda explains this, as does WP:XFD#CON. One thing I will say is, generally, where an administrator finds a consensus in a debate which is numerically split, they often provide a rationale as to how they weighed !votes relative to the policies & guidelines, and which arguments if any were refuted partially or completely. This is also why I relisted, to allow further discussion to assess arguments in the hope consensus can be reached either way. Hope this makes sense. Daniel (talk) 01:15, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I got it when you closed the review discussion. One of the reasons why I had called for it was because there was no consensus even from the closing. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Scottish government crisis

Hi. I am speaking to you as I believe you have become involved in the above article.

I live in Scotland and follow Scottish politics. This article heading in itself is both inaccurate and politically charged.

I changed the heading to reflect what the article was more accurately about, which was a series of events (follys, even) that led to the resignation of the First Minister, Humza Yousaf. A user called Tim O'Doherty objected to this on the grounds of the title being "broken English", which is arguable. However, instead of rewording the title, he put it back as it was (as above). Frankly, on the grounds of neutrality alone, this is not acceptable.

I am not certain whether or not this person is naive or ignorant or showing political bias in terms of Scottish politics, but I had to make a few other corrections to the text because of ignorant mistakes about who did what in this series of events, suggesting a lack of knowledge, however their actions do suggest political bias.

Some of the arguments I am seeing about this article stem from other articles in UK politics centering around Westminster, which refer to events as a crisis or crises. This wording however in a Scottish context has connotations of political bias. It is a common right-wing and Conservative trope to undermine the Scottish Government. Politicians and right-wing newspapers (including The Times) do so by misrepresenting and overstating the actuality of such matters, because the Scottish Government has a different political makeup to Westminster. There are clear political considerations here, as Conservatives have talked-up the idea of closing the Scottish Parliament; therefore you need to be careful as to how you describe events such as those that led to the resignation of Humza Yousaf.

The Times has apparently (or so this O'Doherty claims) printed that the Scottish Government has fallen. This is a plain nonsense, only believed by ignorants or people who want to believe it - or in other words, the politically biased.

Had the Scottish Government fallen, a Scottish election would be required. None has been called. it is in fact a wilful misrepresentation of events. This newspaper may be regarded as a 'paper of record', but it is not above political bias.

I have called for a non-partisan title that describes these events for what they are: Events leading to the resignation of Humza Yousaf as First Minister. It is matter of fact and without political bias. Calling it a "crisis" in the Scottish Government is at best misleading if not outright false, and has political connotations. Frankly, I insist upon it, because failing to change this title is an act of political bias.
