TemplateScript

Hello Jbhunley. While updating TemplateScript in your common.js page, I noticed that it was disabled. I wasn't sure from the edit history if that was deliberate, so I left it inactive. Let me know if you'd like me to fix it for you. :) —Pathoschild 22:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

User:Pathoschild Please do enable the common.js. I am not sure how it was disabled or what to do about it. Thank you. Jbhunley (talk) 04:49, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Done. Let me know if you notice any problems or have questions. :) —Pathoschild 00:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Answer to question by ArtemisOfMars

@ArtemisOfMars: In answer to the question you asked here about opening a SPI. Yes you can open a SPI into those users. InstantSnapFeedback has already admitted to previously editing as Salivasnapshot. You can find the diff at BLPN just after I outlined why I thought you both had a COI. If you can prove that they are not Braunden Reed you can get the RichardBrandonReed account blocked for username impersonation. If you can link all three you might be able to have an admin take some kind of action against ISF. My guess is you will need to go through WP:OTRS to avoid WP:OUTING issues.

Before you open the SPI you need to read and understand what evidence is needed then collect the diffs. Without diffs a SOCK accusation is a personal attack. If you have off-wiki evidence you need to go through OTRS.With ISF the SOCKing seems to be a smaller issue to me than the possible impersonation issue. JBH (talk) 21:05, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@JBH I will try to find these evidences and put them in my request. I found some relevant information on Facebook, is it something that I can use here on Wikipedia or not? What I found is a conversation about the band's article on Wikipedia between some people and it is dated the same day they started to "attack" Polaroid Kiss article on Wikipedia. Moreover, they only edited the same information: Steve Hewitt. I will work on this and submit what I found to your approval, but it's true that I have to be careful about WP:OUTING issues. I'm going to read the documentation you linked and see what I can do. ArtemisOfMars (talk) 22:34, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

@JBH What Artifice of Mars is referring to is a group on facebook called 'Ex Polaroid Kiss Members'. Feel free to read any conversations in there and contact the members if you have any questions about this issue, as I can assure you that any screenshots Artifice of Mars sends to Wikipedia will be heavily edited.InstantSnapFeedback (talk)

@InstantSnapFeedback: I looked at that group when the accusations came up at BLPN it is a closed group so I have no idea of its contents. I do not use Facebook much and while I edit under my own name I am not comfortable exposing of-wiki accounts with a view, even if small, into my real life while I am trying to work on an ongoing dispute so I did not join to look. Since the URL at BLPN links to your actual identity I will find the edit and have the people at WP:OVERSITE purge that link. JBH (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@JBH Thank you. I appreciate that.InstantSnapFeedback (talk)

@InstantSnapFeedback: After an email conversation with OVERSIGHT they determined that since the group was closed/private and required permission to view that it was not something that they could purge. Sorry, I thought it was within their guidelines but I was wrong. JBH (talk) 08:53, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Jbhunley: No worries. I'm not worried that Artifice of Mars is viewing the group. Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts.InstantSnapFeedback (talk)

@ArtemisOfMars: Do not put any off-wiki information or other's personal information on Wikipedia. They take privacy here very seriously. If you have relevant information, and in this case the only thing that I think would be relevant is proof that the RichardBrandonReed account is being used by someone other than Richard Brandon Reed, you need to contact the WMF offline either via email or via OTRS. They will tell you how to proceed. I am not comfortable dealing with personally identifiable information, nor do I want to be in the position of being an advocate for either of you. I see many issues related to Polaroid Kiss that have been going on for a long time. As I work on this clean up I hope to be able to maintain a working relationship with each of you but I will and can only make my editorial decisions based on Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I can not even, in most circumstances, "do what is right" if it is in violation of policy. JBH (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

For both of you, since we seem to be communicating ok here, please allow me to make a comment on the SPIs. Both Wiki-culture in general, and I in particular, tend to be very forgiving of past transgressions on-wiki. The policy here is that blocks are preventative not punitive. We have editors here who have made major missteps and are still editing here. If you have been SOCKing admit to it, list all of your previous accounts on your user page and promise not to do it again (and don't). COI and even limited impersonation can be handled all that is needed is to admit it, say "sorry I did not understand the policies - I do now and I will follow them from now on". It is best, in my opinion, to ask an admin to block the old accounts and I would say it is required for an impersonation account. After that you are an editor in good standing and you will have gained credibility with the community because you backed away from the cliff.

ArtemisOfMars, I know you deny being a SOCK, that is what SPI is for. If they clear you I will apologize, that is why I did not accuse you and just let the accusation hang. InstantSnapFeedback when I asked if you edited as Salivasnapshot you said yes, that got you a lot of respect in my book so I will just ask; Did you edit under RichardBrandonReed?

@JBH No, I did not edit under RichardBrandonReed InstantSnapFeedback (talk)

@InstantSnapFeedback: OK, ArtemisOfMars will likely want to start a SPI or at least block it as a deceptive username. I will still advise them on what they need to do but as long as neither of those accounts are editing I have no reason to start one on my own initiative. JBH (talk) 06:35, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Cleaning up the Polaroid Kiss mess be much easier with the two of you working with me than with than having out-of-policy editors working against me. So neither of you are taken aback I will tell you the next thing I am going to do is nominate Polaroid Kiss for deletion at AfD. It was my opinion from my first edit at BLPN that it was non-notable. I can not PROD it until the page protection expires but I will let you see the deletion proposal so you have a few more days to look for viable sources to improve the article. I spent a lot of time looking for good sources because I know this article means a lot to you and others but the sources just are not there. JBH (talk) 00:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@JBH So the only way to solve this is to delete the article? I didn't know that Wikipedia was a dictatorship. Sorry, but this band exists for many years now. I'm sure this InstantSnapFeedback will open a bottle of Champagne to celebrate this. That's exactly what he wants to do from the beginning. Jealousy and frustration may lead some musicians to do silly things. Polaroid Kiss is a successful band, with a bright future, ISF is nothing. Great, you say you're neutral but from the very beginning you only believe what he says and not what I say. He has edited the article under several aliases or user names as you call them here and tells lies. I have the truth on my side, and if you delete the article, I, or anyone who knows the band, will write it back. Anyway, do what you want, I don't care anymore. If you don't believe the official websites (yeah, ISF is a more reliable source than a record company with a good reputation of course! He is God, isn't he?), so clean all articles written on Wikipedia because many of them use official information as sources. ArtemisOfMars (talk) 09:33, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@ArtemisOfMars: I am sorry you believe that but I am yet again amazed how many otherwise intelligent adults think neutral means "the way I want it". You have been told many, many times what it takes to support a Wikipedia article. This is not a Facebook page or a public relations outlet it is an encyclopedia and to date Polaroid Kiss has done nothing that has been reported by independent third party sources to merit inclusion here. It has been managed here for years by a user who placed their name in other artists articles by marking the edits minor so they would not show up in people's watch lists. They knew that other editors would object to the insertion, else why the deceptive editing practice.

The Polaroid Kiss article languished in obscurity until you brought it to BLPN because InstantSnapFeedback wanted to remove unsourced BLP content. The way they went about is was very wrong but what they asked was correct. Have you read all those blue links to policies? I do not type all that extra crap because I like the color blue, I do it so you can easily get to the information - so you can read it and understand it.

Let me be very very clear about something. With statements like "and if you delete the article, I, or anyone who knows the band, will write it back." and "Can we control the contributions of different users before they appear... " from your French Wikipedia account you brought up here at SPI you are setting yourself up for a WP:BLOCK or ultimately even a WP:BAN. That means that any edit you, as a person, under any account name or IP address make can be deleted by any editor whether it is a good edit or not. That would be a sad outcome and the way to avoid it is to work with the community not disrupt it. At WP:AFD you can argue why my position it should be deleted is wrong. I spent several hours looking for good sources to support the article and I am convinced they simply are not there. Make sure you base your arguments on policy and reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a dictatorship it works on consensus. If the consensus is to keep the article then we keep the article no matter what I think. JBH (talk) 16:45, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@JBH What amazes me the most is that Wikipedia DO NOT accept OFFICIAL information and ask for third party sources. It's not "the way I want it", it's the way it "should be because it is the truth". That's totally insane because what you call "third party" in this present issue are newspapers and/or magazines... who contact the band's official websites to write their articles! So when it's official for a band, it's not the truth for Wikipedia? So when U2 (let's talk about them) say on their official website they will be on tour this year, you don't believe it and wait for NME to confirm it? Because, of course, U2 official website is not a reliable source for almighty Wikipedia. What kind of madness is this?

What I wrote on this article is official, so the truth. It's written everywhere on the official websites of the band.

Now you're threatening me? Telling me that I will be blocked or banned for telling the truth? That's good, do what you want.

And about the other user who placed the names of band members on their articles, nobody said anything about that. The edits are visible and can be read on the clean version of the article. Those who know the artists and the band knew that the info were right that's why they didn't edit it.

Oh, and the day, in a very very near future, Polaroid Kiss will become a huge band, you will remember all these "conversations" and see that I was right and you were manipulated by ISF and your "rules".

Now, ban me, block me, I don't care. ArtemisOfMars (talk) 17:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@ArtemisOfMars: First, I never threatened you please strike that claim. I informed you of potential conciquences of your attitude. To be perfectly clear, I am not an Admin. I have no power or authority greater than any other editor. I do however have, I believe, a good grasp of the rules and guidelines for editing Wikipedia and the principals they are based on. You, obviously are more concerned with the band than the encyclopedia. That is not the way to edit here.

If you think "... the day, in a very very near future, Polaroid Kiss will become a huge band, you will remember all these "conversations" and see that I was right and you were manipulated by ISF and your "rules"." you simply have not been listening. If that happened there would good sources and I would hapily help write the article.

The policies of Wikipedia are as they are being indignant about them serves no purpose. If you are indeed not a COI editor try taking all that passion you have and work to improve some more established bands like Apoptygma Berzerk, VNV Nation, Blutengel, Covenant, Funker Vogt or Icon of Coil until Polaroid Kiss "makes it big". Those are all established bands, in the same genre and, in my opinion, are also quite good. JBH (talk) 19:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Jbhunley: After not getting their way with the Polaroid Kiss page, Artifice of Mars has now decided to focus their energies into making malicious edits to the Sneaker Pimps page.

From the Euromaidan Talk page

Collapsing cut/paste

Too Much Advocacy and Too Little Neutral Point of View The Euromaidan article is extremely problematic. It fails to conform to the three basic article policies: (1) no original research, (2) neutral point of view, and (3) verifiability. The article covers a highly politicized issue on which there are several sides of the story, and none of the sides appear to comport well with verifiable facts. Recently I deleted two paragraphs that contained a narrative that advocates just one of the several non-factual versions of this issue. The text in question was completely unsupported by references. I also made two minor editorial corrections where I could see that point of view could be easily removed by simple word changes. For instance, the original text said "Many protesters joined because of the violent dispersal of protesters..." Calling the police action violent is pejorative and reflects one side of the story. Another side would say that the police were responding to a provocation and were seeking to restore law and order. I thought that a POV-neutral way of describing the incident would be to use the term "forceful dispersal" instead of violent dispersal. Similarly, a sentence beginning with "Escalating violence from government forces..." seemed to reflect the same point of view that is in contention. For the sake of neutrality, I changed that to "Escalating use of physical control by government forces..." In both cases, my edits maintained the undisputed description of the events, but without the pejorative words used originally. And, finally, in a later section the narrative discusses an action of the parliament. It said that the body "allegedly impeached the president." That suggests that there has been no authoritative determination made about whether the president was really impeached or not. But this is an instance where there is irrefutable evidence that the president was not impeached. I modified the text accordingly, and provided references to reliable sources. After having done all that, Volunteer Marek, citing "POV pushing, weasel-ing and removal of relevant text," undid all of my editorial corrections. In my opinion this article in its present state is an affront to the facts of the matter. It is a narrative of advocacy. The article needs to be more factual and less partisan. One of the challenges in achieving that is the unfortunate amount of media bias that has manifested in covering the topic. There are vast differences in media storylines depending upon which country's media is doing the reporting. This mainstream bias means that simply citing media reports will not establish something as factual. The media reports themselves would have to be fact checked before they could be relied upon. But if there is some reasonable way to move toward fixing the present article's problems, I'd be glad to help in a modest way. (Although, I must say that I have no appetite for going back and forth with individuals like Volunteer Marek who apparently wish to preserve a distorted description of the issue.) But are there others who might be motivated to join in to remove POV rhetoric from this article? If not, perhaps Wikipedia readers would be better served if this article were deleted entirely.

@Tikva2009: Jbhunley was completely correct in removing the prod notice. You, however, are close to being sanctioned. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 05:35, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

@Tikva2009: I explained why I removed the template on your talk page. I also addressed the issue a bit later on the article talk page [1]. There I gave you some advice and offered to help you if you had specific diffs that you were concerned with. Your copy/paste tantrum here was rude and uncalled for. The only purpose served was to irritate someone who offered you help. Shame on you.

To answer your question about the sanctions; Yes I, with my whole 1 edit in the area, am subject to the same discretionary sanctions. Being subject to sanctions and being sanctioned are two very different things. Again, I strongly suggest that you become familiar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines before editing in such a controversial area and that you approach editing in a collaborative manner. If you do this you will make a positive contribution to the encyclopedia and help shape the articles you work on. If you do not your input and point of view will be lost to us and no one will ever know the point of view you wish to document. JBH (talk) 06:23, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Jbhunley: Thank you for the conciliatory note that you posted to my Talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Tikva2009#Follow-up). You are correct that I am unfamiliar with the process of making diffs. But I will look into the link that you provided. Certainly yesterday I had no intention of doing anything that would be perceived as being rude. So now we are left with the disposition of the two articles that I believe presently serve to seriously mislead the readers. They also appear to violate the basic article policies. I'm talking about the Euromaidan and Alexander Litvinenko articles. I tried and failed at inviting discourse and working toward a consensus. Are you willing to join in an effort rectify the currently misleading state of those articles? If so, perhaps you can suggest a reasonable and manageable way in which we may proceed. Thanks. Tikva2009 (talk) 02:29, 24 January 2015 (UTC)tikva2009

@Tikva2009: OK, based on your earlier edits it looks like you want to add some Russian perspective. In principal that is great. I think we need a wider perspective on contensious issues. In practice I think you might find it difficult to do on those two articles in particular. I will explain why later on. First let me tell you how to format text on a talk page:

This is just a quick and dirty way to get you up to speed on editing on talk pages. You can get more information at Simplest Diff Guide, Talk Page Guidelines| and Wiki Markup. If what I said here contradicts anything those documents say follow them not me.

Earlier I said it would be hard to bring the Russian perspective to these articles, essentially it comes down to reliable sources. Both articles reflect pretty well what the non-Russian media and much of the English language Russian media, that meet Wikipedia's RS criteria, has to say. Russian media has two big problems, 1) it is in Russian and very few Wikipedians speak Russian, this is not insurmountable but it makes things harder. 2) English language Russian media is perceived in the West as at best self-censoring and at worst a propaganda organ of the state, particularly when they are reporting on issues dear to the state or very powerful people. I am not saying Western media is neither of these things just that they are not perceived that way by most writers.

The next issue is both of these articles deal with issues that are the subject of massive propaganda and disinformation campaigns by both Western and Russian intelligence services. In the case of Alexander Litvinenko my opinion is that he was running a disinformation campaign on his own behalf and/or on the behalf of a third party as well. (But that would never go into the article that is what WP:OR is.) So the facts have been purposely muddled by several parties who are extremely good at creating 'halls of mirrors'. The truth of these matters will not be known for many years, if ever. All we can do is report what good sources say.

This brings be to the last issue. You need to carefully read Wikipedia's policies on Reliable Sources, Neutral Point of View and Original Research. Neutral Point of View (NPOV) and Original Research (OR), in particular, do not mean what you think they mean. Here is a quick overview but please read the policies for your self.

• Reliable sources must, with few exceptions, be published by a third party with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, it is best that they be secondary sources. Books like The Phony Litvinenko Murder, like you discussed with NeilN, which are self published or published by a person who has no real credentials or widely recognized expertise are not acceptable and claims referenced to them should either be backed up by a better source or removed.
• Original research means that we can not analyze the information in sources and draw our on conclusions or theories based on that information. Nor can we combine sources to draw a conclusion neither expresses on its own. The classic example is if Source 1 says A implies B and Source 2 says B implies C we can not then say in the article A implies C.
• A neutral point of view means that we faithfully report what reliable sources say about a subject. It does not mean we must use neutral terminology if the reliable sources do not. For instance if the reliable sources say a reaction was violent we say violent not forceful. It is possible to relate what a specific source says about an event by directly quoting them however the opinion must be both Notable and not UNDUE.

I hope this helps some. If you would like to go over to the Litbinenko page and address specific issues where you have concerns I would be happy to participate. However the article looks pretty good and seems to reflect that is available in the open sources so I can not support major changes in content or tone without good sources to back it up. The biggest issue I see is the section on his conversion to Islam is completely unsourced so it might need to go if some sources can not be found. JBH (talk) 18:46, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
