== Wendy Carlos Reversion == | |||
== Feedback on potentially biased block == | |||
Hi SarekOfVulcan | |||
You have protected the Autism Speaks article because you say it will always be a target for what you term 'vandalism'. However, I feel this does not take the source of the "vandalism", and what I feel is the consequential enshrining of one side in a controversy without allowing the other side an opportunity to be heard. The reason I looked up the article in the first place was to find out why the administrator of the r:/autism reddit requested that no posts linking to that organization be posted because so '''''many''''' autistic Reddit members found them objectionable or questionable. And all I was thinking of doing, when I found there wasn't even an acknowledgement in the Misplaced Pages article that there even WAS any such controversy, was to add a perspective note worded something like, "To be fair, it should be noted that some people feel / believe / have a different opinion " ... whatever language it takes to be sure both sides have been fairly presented. If removing the block is a non-starter ... and I can understand how that might not be as simple as it seems ... please, in the interests of justice and fairness, at least add such a note yourself ] (]) 06:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC) | |||

::That's why I filed a report at WP:ANI/3RR. They did not bother to address the points I made on their talk page(s), and instead continued to edit war in the matter of ]. Reverting to the previous stable version will give them the incentive to continue the discussion on the talk page like they should have, instead of persistently reverting.

::::Per this I explained the reasons why their edit was not an improvement on their talk page, and received no response. They instead kept edit warring in the edit summaries sticking to their own viewpoint. So who has the incentive to continue the discussion on the talk page exactly?

== Revert question == | |||
== ''The Signpost'': 16 May 2024 == | |||
Hi, I was wondering if you go into a little more detail on why you reverted my edits on changing to outgoing rather than incumbent. The reason why I put those in is because a new president and vice president has just been elected so since they are leaving office soon, putting them as a lame duck seems to make the most sense. I'd be willing to hear your arguments on keeping the incumbent on both the president and VP pages. I'm not sure if there was a time that we used the term outgoing for politicians leaving office, but it just doesn't make sense to keep incumbent there. ] (]) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC) | |||

Revert question
Hi, I was wondering if you go into a little more detail on why you reverted my edits on changing to outgoing rather than incumbent. The reason why I put those in is because a new president and vice president has just been elected so since they are leaving office soon, putting them as a lame duck seems to make the most sense. I'd be willing to hear your arguments on keeping the incumbent on both the president and VP pages. I'm not sure if there was a time that we used the term outgoing for politicians leaving office, but it just doesn't make sense to keep incumbent there.

- But they are the incumbents. We don't need any further editorializing. Leave that to the headline writers. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.

- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.

- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
