You're not a new editor, so you should seriously know better. Seppi333 (Insert ) 02:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   11:11, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

Thank you for your thanks so graciously put. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Notice of discretionary sanctions

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

The placing of the above template on this page may be related to these links [1] [2]. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]
You can treat the notice as some kind of combative thing, or you can be mindful of it. If you keep editing in violation of PSCI you will end up topic banned from editing such topics. Everybody chooses their own path here. Jytdog (talk) 06:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And I see that you have put three templates [3] on the talk page of another contributor to the RfC. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:31, 14 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Hi. As I stated in my edit summary, the recently (some days ago) added content does not have any source. I have asked the editor who added it to provide sources. Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:37, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response a [citation needed] notice is helpful. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:41, 9 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]
The cn tag is ususally used for unsourced content that has been in the article since a relatively long time. Very recently added content should preferably be removed. Otherwise Wikipedia would be flooded with cn tags. In this specific case, I leave the solution up to you. Do what you feel is better. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 22:47, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks: the material seems well-sourced in the Meyer reference. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:02, 9 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Can you provide the relevant page and quote? Before the text I removed is a sentence added by the same editor. That sentence has a source, Meyer page 132. I checked Meyer on GBs and on that page Wogar is not mentioned. Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:18, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The extract that you want to delete: Much of this centers around his identify as there are many discrepancies regarding the identify of Wongar in the forewords of his books. In his book "The Track to Bralgu'" the foreword mentions that the author B. Wongar is part Aborigine, while in his book "The Sinners", the foreword mentions that the author B. Wongar is in fact a mixed race American Vietnam veteran seems to me to be a fair synopsis from Meyer's well-sourced PhD thesis on these literary frauds. I suggest you take the matter up with the person who first inserted the material into the article. I have transferred this thread from my talk page to the B. Wongar talk page, which is its proper home. See the note at the top of my talk page. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:18, 10 June 2018 (UTC).[reply]

I do not want to add or delete anything. I only want to make sure all of content of Wikipedia is sourced to reliable sources. If you can not not provide sources, including the correct pages and quotes, do not add content again. It is disruptive no matter your good will. Cheers, Ktrimi991 (talk) 10:50, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion

Rajendra Rathore (chemist) manages to pass NACADEMIC. It'll be interesting to learn your take(s).......WBGconverse 03:16, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unprecedented behavior and Vandalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion

Your act was a pure act of vandalism and malice... your claim proposal was 100% ungrounded and done for your personal reasons. You are holding a vendetta on me and I will not play your game. You have been warned.

Markoulw (talk) 02:30, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is the diff[ [5]. I have no personal reasons relevant to you. Please do not issue threats against me. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:38, 26 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]
I note that the articles that you wrote have been deleted at AfD and that you have been banned as a sockpuppet. Xxanthippe (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Warning by Kudpung

Take this as official - do not post again on my talk page. Even to add a link or correct a typo. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "official"? Do you mean policy-based or a personal request? In the edit that you deleted [6] from this [7] thread, and which I copy below for reference, I offered a solution for ending this time-wasting to and fro. I am sorry that you ignored it but continued to present false information about the matter here [8]. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:13, 14 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]
@User:Kudpung. From looking at this edit[9] I have concluded that you have been harassing me in an attempt, possibly in your mind, to earn Brownie points from the Women in Red project by attacking what you suppose to be a critic of them. Now that you have had a bust-up [10][11] with that project I hope that you will stop harassing me with further personal attacks and threats including instructing me toPipe down [12]. It's a bit rich to be told you are a misogynist by somebody who makes an edit so sexist [13] that a woman user asks for it to be changed for future use[14]. Your response to her request was not gracious. See also [15]. I found this[16] edit to be particularly incongruous: when you were whining about admin-baiting while simultaneously making personal attacks and threats against me. Here[17] you ask me to give your talk page a "permanent pass". I will be happy to oblige provided that you stop making personal attacks and threats against me either explicitly or implicitly. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:16, 13 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Your intrusion is welcome. I am finding that this matter is a vast waste of time. I have made a proposal to end it which has been ignored. I would like it to stop if the badgering of myself (like being told to "pipe down") stops too. If false claims about me are made[18] I feel that I am entitled to respond. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:28, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Knock it off, and dial down this completely unnecessary dispute, Xxanthippe. You are skating on very thin ice. Try silence instead. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:41, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good suggestion. I hope you will urge it on the other people involved. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:47, 14 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]
My suggestion applies to everyone involved in this and similar disputes, and I will repeat my advice wherever I conclude that it will be useful. I will remain silent while observing the situation elsewhere if I do not believe that my comments would be helpful, but I will remember. I noticed this thread, and this is where I have chosen to comment at this time. Please retreat from the confrontation. Thank you. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:14, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cullen328. Was this pile-on threat really necessary? I see that another editor commented on your even-handedness in the matter.[19] Xxanthippe (talk) 05:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Sorry about that. Maybe a double heading would have been more appropriate. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:14, 14 August 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Comment: Following the debacle of his editorship of Signpost Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ceased to be an administrator on 16 August 2018.[20] Xxanthippe (talk) 05:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and was later resysoped without community discussion [21] on 26 October 2018. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:42, 19 November 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Kundpung's behavior led to a complain about harassment at AN/I [22] and an Arbitration request [23]

Complaints about Kudpung's behavior had been made at AN/I before 2015, 2017, 2018 but dismissed without action.

As a result of the arbitration of 2020 Kudpung's position as an administrator of Wikipedia was terminated on 29 February 2020. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:28, 2 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Ada Lovelace copyedit

Hi there, Have you checked my earlier copyedit to Ada Lovelace yet? As you reverted it, I thought I'd give you time to come back to me on it, but haven't heard anything from you yet. Please give me some feedback. As I stated in my follow-on edit, I'm a proofreader/copyeditor by profession, so I'm basically interested in improving the text and presentation of wiki articles. Ada Lovelace has been in the local news a lot lately as the people of Nottinghamshire are campaigning to get her on the £50 note, hence my current quest to improve her article. You should be able to see from my previous edits over the past couple of weeks that I can be trusted! So if you're not happy with my entire copyedit of the Early life section, then would you rather I did it in small stages (more transparent but also rather tedious)? By the way, I arranged for the article to be semi-protected for the next 3 months as it was being plagued by IP vandalism. Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 21:49, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An editor who is challenged after making substantial edits to an important and well-established article should follow WP:BRD and discuss the matter on the talk page of the article, not here: see the top of this page. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC).[reply]
You're the only person who's objected to my edits so I wanted to open a personal dialog with yourself, but failing that I will proceed more cautiously. I don't see the point in opening up a discussion on the Ada talk page that would basically just say: Any objections to me improving this article? What would be the point in that!? Rodney Baggins (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that it would be consistent with WP:BRD. There are many other watchers of the page apart from you and I. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:39, 7 December 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Greetings,

I'm sorry but I have to insist. This article - and many others as well - make a bad confusion between the two notions of lattice and structure. A lattice is an abstraction that represents the periodicity of a crystal structure. Atomic positions in the unit cell can be anywhere, not only on lattice nodes. This is something that many non specialists get wrong, unfortunately. Mahlerite (talk) 16:38, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Me again. am I getting it right that you do not care to reply? I'm going to post in the discussion page of the article, before correcting it again. Regards. --Mahlerite (talk) 22:08, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When the charge is that the content is in violation of our copyright policy, a notability criterion is not relevant. Uncle G (talk) 00:03, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bad test

I have no idea what thing did you intent to test, but the namespace 1 pages of actual articles would do better without Twinkle rubbish. Go elsewhere with it, please. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:31, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Joan of Arc

You blanket reverted ALL of my edits without providing any indication what you are objecting to or why. Please state your reasons or at least which edits you are objecting to. Str1977 (talk) 19:47, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow Wikipedia procedure WP:BRD. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:29, 13 September 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Okay, I will post my question on the article talk page. If I don't get an answer there, I guess you have no objection. Str1977 (talk) 06:05, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Posted on talk page of Joan of Arc: Thank you for following WP:BRD and bringing a discussion to the talk page. User:Str1977 has made 6 consecutive edits to Joan of Arc, 4 without edit summaries and 1 with an incomprehensible edit summary. His edits seem mainly to be changing Roman Catholic to Catholic and coronation to anointed. There may be theological issues of WP:POV here and the changes in this sensitive area need to be justified by sources. User:Str1977 may like to open an RfC in Portal:Catholicism or elsewhere. Under WP:CAUTIOUS it the responsibility of the changer of an article to justify their changes. Xxanthippe (talk) 10:24, 14 September 2019 (UTC).[reply]

I am having a lot of trouble with the user Jontel, as it is clear from their edits that they are a member of the hard left and are removing (or at least attempting to minimise) all criticism of the Labour Party over the well-documented antisemitism issue.

Good luck

Merry Christmas!!

Hi Xxanthippe, thanks for all you do on Wikipedia, and for all your help at BLPN. My you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. (and if you don't celebrate Christmas please feel free to take that as a Happy Hanukkah, a great Dhanu Sankranti, a blessed Hatsumode, or whatever holiday you want to insert there.) Zaereth (talk) 08:55, 25 December 2019 (UTC

Hello. In regards to Moberly–Jourdain incident, I was going by Talk:Moberly–Jourdain incident. As it's currently a GA, the icon shouldn't be removed. If you feel that it no longer passes GA, feel free to do another Good Article Reassessment. However, this article is currently GA unless it get delisted. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:33, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please make your comments on the talk page of the article concerned (as above). Xxanthippe (talk) 01:42, 5 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Arbitration case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 28, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, CodeLyokotalk 05:01, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it. Correction made. Thanks for the alert. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Abraham–Lorentz force

Hello,

I've wanted to notify that I've re-added the some of recent content on surface plasmons back to the Abraham–Lorentz force article. I think my recent additions got mixed up with a previous edit that used Arxiv as a source; the content on surface plasmons cited highly cited papers from reliable, peer-reviewed journals.

The best, Myxomatosis57 (talk) 07:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

O.K. I can make mistakes. I was editing rather heavily today. I will look at the previous edits. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:14, 4 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Pass by comment

Your comments on Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Kudpung/Proposed decision are unnecessary and inflaming. The gender thing is completely unfounded and provocative. RHaworth isn't female but he was desysoped. What's the point of bringing up "venue of the 2020 Wikimania" which has now spilled WP:BEANS and is potentially jeopardizing Kudpung's participation in it because he is now aware of it due to your comment? I had to spell it out for you lest more redundancies. Sad Boy Jesus (talk) 13:07, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To 1 edit Spa and presumed sock puppet (please correct if wrong): How so? The banner for Wikimania 2020 has been on Kudpung's talk page for weeks. Have you edited under any other user name? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
