Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Grunwald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

IQRA Promotions

Hello, thought I'd let you know I de-PRODded IQRA Promotions, because it has a couple of notable artists on the roster and therefore its deletion may not be uncontroversial. However, I agree it is probably a non-notable label/organization, but would like to see the article go through AfD just in case someone with more familiarity has sources (I couldn't find any in a more-than-cursory but less-than-exhaustive search.) If you want to nominate go ahead, otherwise I will. All the best, 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 16:45, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've nominated it for deletion now. Christopher Connor (talk) 17:31, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Edward Williams (businessman)

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 Edward Williams (businessman) 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 real person, but it does not 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 the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. YousufMiah (talk) 21:30, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Michael Grunwald

On 29 September 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Michael Grunwald, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Time journalist Michael Grunwald said, "I can't wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out [WikiLeaks founder] Julian Assange"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Michael Grunwald. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks

for the personal attack here, touched a nerve have I? YousufMiah (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attack, just a statement of fact that you don't know what you're doing. Christopher Connor (talk) 22:57, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"You have no understanding of the deletion criteria. You shouldn't be getting involved in anything to do with deletion here." Seems like a personal attack to me. Also you clearly don't understand the definition of fact as well as WP:personal attack, as the statement is clearly opinion not fact. YousufMiah (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In what way does putting speedy tags on two articles with multiple reliable sources show that you do understand the deletion criteria and hence show my assertion isn't fact? Christopher Connor (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right, so the statement "You shouldn't be getting involved in anything to do with deletion here", is a fact is it? I really hope you're not an English teacher or a lawyer because you would really suck at both if you were. 21:16, 2 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by YousufMiah (talk • contribs)

The fact here, as I've already explained, is that you don't understand the deletion criteria, as evidenced by your attempts to speedy and PROD two well-sourced articles (in response to me nominating for deletion an article you wanted to keep but which was found to be non-notable). Given this, any sensible person would come to the conclusion that you shouldn't get allowed with anything to do with deletion. Christopher Connor (talk) 18:31, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Jew goal for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jew goal is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jew goal until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jew goal

After the various prior concerns that have been raised concerning your editing, I am dismayed that you have created another article about a term containing a snide reference to Jewish people. To be fair, the article itself (putting aside the notability issue) does not itself reflect prejudice on the part of yourself as the author (as opposed to on the part of those who coined or used the soccer term). Nonetheless, I think it would be to everyone's advantage if you didn't continue to focus your edits on this sort of thing. Newyorkbrad (talk) 21:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My editing is fine, that article is fine, so I don't see what your point is. You might be offended by it, but that's not my problem. Your assertion that I'm "focusing" on this area is also just wrong, but I doubt you care. Christopher Connor (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Christopher. If the above concern had been expressed by one of the numerous throwaway accounts that have targeted you, I would be tempted to agree with you. However, Newyorkbrad is one of the more thoughtful of Wikipedia's arbitration committee (it's an elected position, fwiw, there's a new election going on at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2013), so in this instance I don't think it's helpful for you to dismiss his comment in this way.

You may need to look at accepting that it's a good idea to back off from creating or promoting or being involved in such articles for a while. The Wikipedia community as a whole seems to be rather more negative about them that it used to be. Brad may have been suggesting ways for you to avoid the attentions of that self-described "Torches and pitchforks" mentality. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody sensible here knows that ArbCom is a joke filled with self-serving power mongers. They're the wiki equivalents of the likes of David Cameron, Tony Blair, Michael Gove, and Nick Clegg, so being a member of it isn't going to make me automatically respect them. It'll more likely have the opposite effect. No doubt Newyorkbrad's a powerful wiki-individual and he wants to use that clout to get rid of me. In any case, it's unlikely I'll stumble across any more material any time soon to make an article of the type that so bothers righteous individuals here. Christopher Connor (talk) 23:42, 16 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Indigenous Australians and crime

It is profoundly racist. The vast majority of crime in Australia is committed by white Australians, we don't have a page called White Australians and crime - places undue weight on criminality among an ethnic minority group

Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict...please fill out my survey?

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Sarah Sanbar
