Talk:Las Vegas Strip shooting

Kindly refrain from making false accusations of antisemitism. In addition, please don't make or propose edits on Wikipedia based on conspiracy-riddled unreliable source. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:52, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

There was no false accusation of antisemitism. If people are deleting a quote from a newspaper (Israel National News) and that was removed together with the link from the TALK PAGE (violation of the WP guidelines) with the reasoning, that all Israeli news are bullshit, that is called antisemitism.
I have not used any conspiracy-riddled unreliable source. I have always used reliable sources and suggested edits in the article on the talk page. If you don't think that the sources are good enough, well, what about you use the discussion page to argue against it!?--Albin Schmitt (talk) 10:46, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Dude. Your source is so reliable that the article you linked doesn't even exist anymore, and the article that replaces it says "While initial reports claimed Paddock was a recent convert to Islam, Clark County Sherrif Joseph Lombardo said he had no knowledge of Paddock's religious beliefs"--which is also a lie since no "reports" claimed that--only a few fools, and a couple of fools believed it. I don't know what you're yelling in this edit summary, but it's a falsehood, just like the summary in this one. On the other hand, the edit summary here is incorrect as well, but that doesn't make you the victim of anything; it just makes you a whiner (just like that ridiculous warning on my talk page). Should have listened to what User:Wnt and others told you on that talk page. Drmies (talk) 12:09, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

@Drmies: Schmitt was right to complain loudly about this edit by @Ansh666: claiming that his reference should be removed from the talk page. The idea that it is a "BLP-violating ref" and we can't cite it even on a talk page is dangerously absurd. If a news source posts an allegation, then it is not a violation of BLP to cite the news source. How can we possibly decide, as a group, whether the information in it violates BLP without citing it? So I am 100% in agreement with him about that edit. I also don't know if the initial reports were serious or not, whether INN is fools or not, etc., and see no way that a responsible editor should know.

Where I will agree is that (a) the other editor was not specifically targeting Israeli newspapers, but seemed to have a general belief, with which I disagree, that only local papers would be reliable for such a thing. Caveat being that someone talking about "purging Israeli" news sources and flashing a Maltese Cross in his signature might raise the hackles of even the nicest dog in the park - but a bad feeling is not proof of anything. (b) I absolutely hate those templates and have argued for their deletion in the past; no good can come from those canned hostile messages no matter how many thousands of times they are used, even if those using them mean well. Wnt (talk) 20:31, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

Wnt, I do not know what the other editor's opinions or editorial philosophies are. If you think that they have a questionable bent to them, there is a place to bring it up, especially if that bent becomes disruptive, and I encourage you to do so. But this still wasn't the antisemitic targeting of a person. But the BLP is not set aside or becomes inapplicable if something is cited--next thing you know we can cite whatever we want to Breitbart or Infowars and say "well it's cited"--even if this involves pizza parlors etc. I believe that that reference was a BLP violation of sorts (not the worst of em) because that source was lousy, and/or cited lousy sources. Yes, we are under some obligation to investigate, especially if we are always in such a ridiculous haste to beat the newspapers to it. We have apparently decided that we want to be the up-to-date, go-to source for everything in the world--well, that brings along extra responsibilities. It also means we really shouldn't name that foolish news person who got fired after a really dumb tweet, and we certainly shouldn't name anyone until we are sure: I assume you know about the poor schmuck who was misidentified on Facebook and various other sites, and whose life must have been hell, at least for a day.

Albin Schmitt, I hope you understand why I was a little upset with that warning, and why I urge care and restraint with posting anything that hasn't gone through rigorous fact checking. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 21:23, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

@Drmies: I think there are some mistakes on all sides here; so far the one I disagree with most is redacting talk page comments. I definitely believe it is appropriate to mention this widely reported story about XXXX. I feel sympathetic toward this man because he was simply venting in a way that people in a freer decade, like the 90s, wouldn't have thought twice about; that doesn't mean I feel reluctant to provide a WP:WELLKNOWN story about him. I am actually considering including it in a "reactions" section for the article. I mean, historically speaking, it would be inaccurate if Wikipedia reported that Stalin was the most popular politician ever because everybody was always so eager to clap and cheer -- likewise, if there are object examples made out of people who show an "inappropriate" reaction to the Mandalay shooting, then the article should convey that point to provide a more balanced view of what overall attitudes were.

The fake news is indeed important - I bet the Israeli newspaper was suckered by some early fake news reports. It is even possible that Israeli newspapers are more vulnerable to not recognize the difference between fake and real American news, though that is not in my mind sufficient justification for a blanket prejudice against foreigners. That said, it isn't clear that the fake news is truly "about" the shooting - the shooting affected it (and the reputation of Google/Facebook) but I'm not sure it affected the shooting, even in terms of cultural reaction. Last I looked I think it was actually a big section in the article; I didn't take it out mostly because that's not usually what I do around here. But bear in mind that conflict among all parties here was initiated by people trusting an AI to do journalism; taxonomically that can be fairly described as a demonic influence. So it's best if all involved take a step back and stay clear of what would have been an unnecessary conflict. Wnt (talk) 20:11, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

That you had to include her name here with a redlink (which I'm redacting) is just incomprehensible to me: the BLP requires us to err on the side of caution. You "mean" that somehow this is in any way like Stalin? Sheesh--and don't pretend to feel sympathy. Drmies (talk) 00:59, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

@Drmies: This man's name is all over the news, all over Google, everyone knows what happened. Bear in mind that when you mentioned him I didn't know his name, but that certainly was no obstacle to searching Mandalay fired. He is already set to receive the full measure of bullying over a melodramatic comment that the cowards of the corporate world have so far talked themselves up into meting out. For Wikipedia to redact his name is not sympathy - just censorship. If it were not your example I might keep arguing here, but we should save that for the article. Meanwhile ... you've actually agreed with my point, because you didn't see fit to remove the citation itself, which is what was done to Albin Schmitt. The call to be careful and reliably sourced about what we say in articles must not be converted into a drive to be timidly censored about when we report what the rest of the world knows. Wnt (talk) 01:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

You are still not convincing me that you actually understand the BLP. If you can't understand that removing the name does not automatically mean removing the link, I can't help you. As for your dropping that c-word so continuously, yeah, whatever. Kindly stop pinging me, and stop using this talk page as a forum. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mario Mieruch

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mario Mieruch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. PK T(alk) 11:59, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

I first met you at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle, but for some reason it took this long for me to realize that no one had welcomed you to the project yet....so welcome! I hope you enjoy :) menaechmi (talk) 20:02, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Las Vegas shooting talk page archiving

Please do not archive sections which are unresolved, especially not those which are only a few hour old. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:05, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Please mind your manners

Please WP:AGF and refrain form flinging accusations like this: [1] at fellow editors. If you see actual, inappropriate behavior, take it to ANI rather that posting it on an AfD discussion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, Albin Schmitt.

I noticed you've done some constructive editing recently.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 09:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Editing

Please do not edit (Milo Yiannopoulos) or create (Gertrude Pressburger) articles for which you either cannot or will not provide reliable sourcing. Pink News, for instance, is not a reliable source. Do not use Wikipedia to push a political or partisan agenda. Quis separabit? 18:43, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

RE: Milo Yiannopoulos

@Albin Schmitt: You state, correctly, that "Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view."

-- I am afraid you have not succeeded in that. Your reliance on Pink News, an inherently unreliable source, violates RS and POV. As only one revert is permitted on this article I cannot undo your revert, however I am hopeful that these improper citations in such a widely-trafficked article as that of Yiannopoulos will be corrected. Or I may take the issue to ANI. Quis separabit? 19:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

The article is also under consensus required, so it should not of been reinstated in the first place. PackMecEng (talk) 19:20, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

You are the one who put an "allegedly" in front of a Donald Trump quote, indicating that he might not have said it, isn't that right?--APS ^talk 19:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

It seems to me that you might have a not to pleasant agenda. While the article is full of sections with sources like Breitbart, YouTube and Twitter, you do not consider an editorial media reliable? And that you are criticizing the one article I wrote on a holocaust survivor using a book as source material does leave a bad taste behind, though I am not indicating anything. Please consider your behaviour or I, sadly, may be forced to having a talk with the admins about this issue.--APS ^talk 19:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Civility note on my page

Hi, when accusing somebody of something, pleas be specific. Otherwise it looks like tag-trolling. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:12, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, User talk:Staszek Lem, I think the title of the section I linked to was wrong. It seemed like you picked on a user instead of debating the topic. Kind regards --APS ^talk 20:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

No. the title correctly and neutrally describes the set of edits I was disputing. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Helena Scheuberin

Hello! I'ts wonderful that you have given Helena Scheuberin a full name, but you forgot to name the source for that name. Please put it in - because, of course, it can only be there if it really was her name, otherwise according to Wikipedia rules it will have to be removed again. At present, there are no sources in the article which proves that she was really named Helena. The current source for the article does not mention her name.--Aciram (talk) 12:09, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Openbook (network), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sammelbewegung „Aufstehen“

Hello Albin Schmitt,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sammelbewegung „Aufstehen“ for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

August 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Asia Argento. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:13, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Openbook (network) (August 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drewmutt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Openbook (network) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Openbook (network), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Abuse of administrator rights

I was blocked, because an admin claimed that I had counted one vote of a user that hadn't taken part in the discussion. I could prove that it wasn't true: and he agreed on it. I was still not unblocked: the administrators didn't even mention the reason I was blocked.

Request reason:

Ok, found the claim against me. "notably giving opinions for someone not in the discussion, at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Asia_Argento&diff=856076805&oldid=856076645. His claim is that the user Sandstein wasn't part of the discussion at all. But that is not true. If you take a look at the given link and scroll down till the end, you can clearly see, that Sandstein did comment on the subject. This is a clear abuse of admin rights. Furthermore I would like an admin to undoe the disruptive edits by the admin. Evaluating the submissions into agreeing, disagreeing and neutral is not disruptive at all.APS ^talk 22:07, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Having reviewed the page in question, I think the disruption warranted a block and concur with SarekofVulcan's assessment. I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 22:15, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I eventually saw that, once I unwound everything. However, since you went from Sandstein's actual quote, my view is that the material at issue here is indeed excessive and trivial detail to your summary as neutral, my point stands.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:11, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

So you agree that you did a mistake. But you are not correcting it anyway. Well, at least thanks that you agree that you did a mistake. Secondly: if you think that I was wrong to place him under neutral, well, go and ask him what he meant and if he would be on neutral or the agreeing / disagreeing part. That is not that hard. But instead, you are using your admin rights to block a user. Oh, another thing: Wikipedia guidelines are pretty clear on one thing: you should never ever remove content of another user on a Wikipedia talk page unless it is vandalism or illegal.--APS ^talk 22:16, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The only way for me to "correct" my mistake would be to reblock you with the same expiration date, but with a better description. It wouldn't add to your block length, but it would make the block log look longer at a casual glance. Your call. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 22:18, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

You know that you are abusing your power and you seem to like it. Well, not bad that this is actually possible on Wikipedia. You delete whole sections on a talk page - which is illegal according to the laws of Wikipedia. Because what? You are disagreeing that one comment could be interpreted as neutral? Like that would be disruptive, lol.--APS ^talk 22:24, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Albin Schmitt (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Um, I just did prove that the block was based on false accusations. Even the blocking administrator agreed on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Albin_Schmitt&diff=856104494&oldid=856104058 ... I am still blocked? How could that be? The admin 331dot claims to have reviewed the block - but how can he have a different opinion than the admin who blocked me and who AGREED THAT THE BLOCK ACCUSATIONS WHERE UNTRUE? I mean, it is not that hard to see if Sandstein has commented on the subject or not. It is just a question of fact: did my claim that Sandstein did discuss on a section is true or false. It is that simple. Not to mention: even if Sandstein hadn't voted on the subject, it wouldn't mean a disruptive edit. It would only mean that I did an honest mistake.APS ^talk 22:39, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Nope, what you did was still grossly inappropriate. Talk page access revoked. Max Semenik (talk) 05:26, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Admins admitted wrongdoing

Still, I wasn't unblocked and the log wasn't corrected. A shame.--Albin Schmitt (talk) 12:04, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, there is no way available to administrators to "correct" a block log except by appending to it. That is, the description of a block cannot be changed, the only way for them to note in the log anything about the block is to reblock with block description that refers to the previous block. Sarek of Vulcan offered you that option in the hatted discussion above, and you did not replto his offer. Again, changing a log block entry is not possible for admins to do.

You might do well to read WP:Drop the stick, because your behavior at AN/I could have negative repercussions for you. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Oh, and BTW, Sarek did not admit "wrongdoing" Sarek admitted to having made a mistake, something that everyone does occassionally. We are an encyclopedia, and we need to get the facts straight, so please be more careful when yopu are editing articles then you have been in these discussions. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:14, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

So it is all right for him to block people with no reason at all. But if a user should ever make a mistake, like accidentally counting a poll wrong, which could be solved in a sentence, that is worthy of blocking. Nice environment you have here.--Albin Schmitt (talk) 21:30, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Templating the regulars

This [2] was in no way a personal attack. This [3] is not harassment. Acroterion (talk) 18:24, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

To keep the record straight, I posted this after he posted the unwarranted template to my talk page, which was, I assume, in response to this. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:58, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

You're right. That's not harassment either. Acroterion (talk) 21:01, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Persistent disruptive editing, BLP issues, disruptive templating and generally uncollaborative editing..

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Black Kite (talk) 00:22, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

(block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.

A page you started (Hostile Takeover: How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Hostile Takeover: How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society, Albin Schmitt!

Wikipedia editor Doomsdayer520 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for you new article on the book "Hostile Takeover: How Islam Impedes Progress and Threatens Society". Note that other editors have questioned whether the book is notable enough for its own Wikipedia article. This could be alleviated with evidence that the book has been professionally reviewed or otherwise discussed in the mass media. Click on that notability link for pointers.
