Independent or non-independent articles

Please look at this source and can you give opinion if you think this is independent of the subject MSOE Muslim Sisters of Éire. I believe it is not independent because of the many interview quotes from the members, volunteers and coordinators at MSOE. You gave an opinion on interviews Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_380#Interviews. Was the comment for articles with pure interviews or also meant for articles like the IrishTimes where you have many interview quotes from the subject? Can you please give some time to respond at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:RangersRus_conduct ? RangersRus (talk) 12:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RangersRus: I apologize, but at the moment my Wikipedia time is mostly focused on an Arbitration case, though I'll note here that having quotes from an interview doesn't necessarily make the entire reference an interview, though that line gets somewhat fuzzy at times. - Aoidh (talk) 20:51, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is right "fuzzy". @Black Kite:, because I came from AFD platform where the interviews or interview quotes as non-independent were interpreted differently, now I am learning something different at AFC platform and I do agree with you also. The line like Aoidh said is sometimes fuzzy but is there a way that it can be more broadly explained on one of the policies by taking different scenarios, because it will tremendously help to clear lot of confusion on interviews. I hope we end this on good note and I can continue to learn more from experienced editors like you and Aoidh and hope we can work together and get your advice if needed. @Aoidh: if you have something more to add, please do.

Near edit warring at Chris Martin

Please note that User:GustavoCza is again on the verge of 3RR at Chris Martin (first sentance "best known" vs "widely known", and has engaged in a personal attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Martin&diff=1262488538&oldid=1262470233 here) to maintain his version of the article. It seems the editor has a prominent history of Ownership. Your eyes on the article would be greatly appreciated.842U (talk) 01:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@842U: I may not be able to review this in a timely manner, I would highly suggest opening a report at WP:ANEW. - Aoidh (talk) 01:11, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@842U: I've looked at the history of the article and talk page, and GustavoCza making two reverts to the WP:STATUSQUO version of the article over three days isn't on the verge of 3RR. Per WP:BRD I would suggest reading and participating in the discussion at Talk:Chris Martin#"best known for" to try to get a consensus for your preferred changes. That said, @GustavoCza: the past part of your edit summary was entirely inappropriate. You were blocked in August for edit warring and incivility; if you continue with the inappropriate commentary you will be blocked, and if I'm the blocking administrator it will be an indefinite block until you can show that you understand that this is not appropriate and will not continue. There is no reason for comments like that, it serves no purpose but to inflame disputes. - Aoidh (talk) 01:38, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Back from block

@331dot: Would it be posible to watch over this aggressive editing style. I am also concerned with what is happening at Talk:Canada#Ethnic Origins and User talk:Moxy#I am honestly just confused, because you are saying the data is incorrect with no evidence when it comes to editwaring and not understanding the problem being raised. Basically stating they will reisert their preferred version.....that is also a concern here with an editwar over the same info they were originally blocked for.

@C.monarchist28: Could you explain this, as well as this comment and how it's compatible with the last paragraph of your unblock reuest? This seems like a return to the behavior that resulted in an indefinite block, one you assured the unblocking administrator will not happen again. - Aoidh (talk) 22:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since we are in an edit dispute which we are resolving on a talk page, I just Wiki dived for fun and for no reason went on a page titled Moxy and was curious in seeing (but was not expecting to see) if the user Moxy themselves had edited it and found it sort of funny that they had. Hmm. Wasn't meant to be harassment. Genuinely just banter... we are resolving a dispute on a talk and I have no intention to cause anything negative... C.monarchist28 (talk) 22:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was genuinely asking if they were serious or not. I asked if they were actually trolling because they said we need to "regurgitate the source that has analysed the raw data over your calculation of the raw data", but the source they are saying to regurgitate matches my calculations. I would recommend you go to Talk:Canada#Ethnic_Origins and see my very first response where I talk about how the data actually matches up perfectly. One quick example, the source they provide states "Close to 70% of Canada's population report being White" while my edits (using the same Census data by Statistics Canada) states 67.4% of the population is white. But Moxy was they had a problem "with my calculations" (I made no calculations, just took raw govt data). Yes, I thought they were messing with me because they are insistent on contending my edits when I keep on explaining every concern just fine. I asked what they meant by "problem with my calculations" and didn't really get anything of substance back, in my honest opinion. C.monarchist28 (talk) 22:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked C.monarchist28 (talk · contribs) per my comment on their talk page. @C.monarchist28: that your edits are contested and you believe the explanations given are insufficient does not warrant comments like that, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by accusing someone of trolling just because you personally find their explanations insufficient. That's never going to resolve a dispute, and at best will only inflame a discussion and distract from the substance of the disputed content. Judging by the comments currently on the talk page, it seems that Moxy's explanation is neither inscrutable nor trolling. - Aoidh (talk) 01:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
