| Hi. As i'm sure you remember, ] and myself had strong disagreements on the article ] a few weeks ago. Edit warring occurred as a result, and we were warned both by ] and yourself that future edit warring would result in a block. I eventually refrained from further editing at Germanic peoples, and Andrew Lancaster exploited this opportunity to completely rewrite the article. In the meantime, i have instead worked on improving the article ], which is currently under a ] review. Having rewritten Germanic peoples the way he wants it, Andrew Lancaster has now exported the edit warring to the article Goths, an article which he has never edited before, thereby seriously inhibiting my work. This seems like violations of ] and ] to me. ] (]) 12:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC) | |||

Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first... |
Please leave me new messages at the bottom of the page; click here to start a new section at the bottom. I usually notice messages soon. I attempt to keep conversations in one location, as I find it easier to follow them that way when they are archived. If you open a new conversation here, I will respond to you here. Please watchlist this page or check back for my reply. If I have already left a message at your talk page, unless I've requested follow-up here or it is a standard template message, I am watching it. If you leave your reply here, I may respond at your talk page if it seems better for context. If you aren't sure if I'm watching your page, or I'm slow to reply, feel free to approach me here.
| Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Misplaced Pages. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia.

| First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future. |
Socks
Hi. I notice you blocked User:Truth is this as a sock of User:Asadul rasel, but actually, I think they're both socks of User:Smatrah. PepperBeast (talk) 17:48, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Pepperbeast: why? Doug Weller talk 19:10, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- Looks like a duck. All of the articles edited by those two were previously edited by Smatrah. The writing style is similar, as is the combattiveness. That's actually what I was thinking when I commented on User:Truth is this's page. PepperBeast (talk) 19:25, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Pepperbeast: that seems quite possible, and I've asked another CU. Doug Weller talk 19:42, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
- How did that CU go? I see Smatrah has joined the edit war on Women in Islam. PepperBeast (talk) 13:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Pepperbeast: they couldn't help. They couldn't recall the earlier case where they blocked him and there's not enough evidence for a CU. Doug Weller talk 09:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- No worries; thanks for checking. PepperBeast (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Young Conservatives of Texas
Doug, there's two IPs that keep restoring material; I have not checked whether they restored the stuff you deleted earlier. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:45, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- I semi-protected the article. Johnuniq (talk) 04:08, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Drmies and Johnuniq: thanks. Doug Weller talk 19:34, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Wait, no! Drmies, I haven't edited the article, have I? Doug Weller talk 19:37, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry, I remember, I revision/deleted some names that I think were just being added by kids playing around. Unsourced anyway, possible BLPs. Doug Weller talk 19:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- No worries. Thanks Doug. Drmies (talk) 21:36, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Uncomfortable about your comment on a talk page
I was browsing the talk page on Fascism today and I came across a comment that you left on October 8, 2019. (https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Fascism#Fascism_is_not_associated_with_any_political_party_by_its_very_definition)
I will be the first to admit that I am pretty new to the Misplaced Pages community and don't have the most experience yet, but seeing a comment like this coming from an administrator of the site makes me feel rather uncomfortable as it seems to convey a tone and message opposite to the ideals of the site that I've learned about from the introductory material for being a part of the Misplaced Pages community.
To me, your comment of "Anyone who thinks there can be such a thing as a "far-left liberal" has no business anywhere near articles about politics." feels like it violates Misplaced Pages's policy on no personal attacks, as WA:PA states that "Abusive, defamatory, or derogatory phrases based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religious or political beliefs, disabilities, ethnicity, nationality, etc. directed against another editor or a group of editors."
I hope you'll take my concern in to consideration, as your comment is the first time I've ever come across an administrator on Misplaced Pages and seeing comments like that from an administrator cause me to worry about the neutrality of the site as a whole and question the value of the contributions I make to the site.
Sincerely, FACP2007 (talk) 06:27, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- @FACP2007: I find it odd that you've singled me out. The first response to that editor was by User:Ian.thomson who wrote "If you're going to suggest that Routledge, Oxford UP, or Harper Collins are unreliable, we're going to show you the door. Maybe the problem is that you've trapped yourself in a far-right echo chamber?" Then User:Black Kite wrote " To be honest, there probably needs to be some sort of "block on sight" answer to statements such as the lunatic one above..." Since you've only complained about my post, I have to assume you are ok with them. You've misinterpreted my comment entirely. It was not about the editor's personal politics, it was about his competence. I've got a degree in political science from Yale and his comment was for me could be compared to someone saying that rusting is caused by phlogiston. If you are that ignorant about a subject you shouldn't be editing it. I also find it odd that you would take my comment and go from there to worrying about the neutrality of the site. That's not a very scientific approach. You also seem to misunderstand Misplaced Pages - it does not attempt to be neutral in the sense you seem to mean. It doesn't give equal weight to science and Creationism. It doesn't treat Breitbart as reliable as the New York Times or the Miami Herald. It is explicitly mainstream. Read WP:NPOV carefully. I'll also add that the editor in question had only made 3 edits 2 years before coming to the talk page to post, and hasn't posted since. I think I agree with the comment by other editors there that they were trolling. Doug Weller talk 09:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
- Just sad replies should be more carefoul of fringe viewpoints in my opinion. Galileo would have enormous problems in actual wiki. --83.42.252.78 (talk) 21:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Ilhan Omar redirect
Hi, I have nominated a redirect of Ilhan Omar that implies that her father's name is the same as her ex-husband father's name. The name was made up by a conspiracy theorist right-wing blogs. It's defamatory and should be removed. However, I don't think editors here get how this fake name implies that, because they use a different naming system that make the first and the second name are the names of the same person and not his name and his father's name.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 13:09, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Greetings, regarding the MS-13 page
You're saying that adding text that is essentially a paraphrase of the same text that was shot down by the RfC is fine? And you're also saying that it's fine for you to come around to my talk page instead of discussing such a questionable addition on the talk page of the article? How are you an admin, exactly? PaganPanzer (talk) 16:46, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
- It was a short sentence summarising the material in the article - that's what the RfC suggested, but in fact I didn't see the RfC, the edit I made about 2 weeks ago, reverted in error and then restored by
Hindustani language
Hi Doug! Can you consider to add a ds/talk notice-template to Talk:Hindustani language? The subject relates to India and Pakistan, so ACDS implicitly also apply to this topic. The scope of the page is debated, and one editor repeatedly resorts to quite odd assertions about the "motives" of other editors, which IMHO violates AGF (e.g. ). I know this can be reproachable even without ACDS, but lowering the threshold should help to stengthen awareness about proper conduct. –Austronesier (talk) 08:46, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Austronesier: done. Doug Weller talk 11:08, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Great, thank you! –Austronesier (talk) 11:47, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
IP and likely sock puppet recently added extensive original research to Negrito page.
The same IP (81.10.217.91) that had disruptively edited the Vedda page not too long ago (and has a history of adding WP:OR to Peopling of India and Andamanese), and also seems to be a suck puppet of previous similar IPs (and several blocked accounts), has just made a very extensive edit to Negrito. Though I could not investigate all of it immediately (there was a lot) I looked it over it and noticed the it included several inaccurate statements and instances of what appeared to be WP:OR as well a the removal of sourced material that seemed to contradict that claims added by the IP. I reverted it with explanation in the edit notes including a points. This seems to be persistent. Here is the edit history of the Negrito page: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Negrito&action=history Hopefully something can be done. Thank you. Skllagyook (talk) 14:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
IP apparently just here on vandalism
Hi Doug,
Can something be done about IP 136.32.114.40. If you look at their contributions , all they do is delete/mangle article content leaving an edit summery of "≈≈≈".--Ermenrich (talk) 20:29, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Islam and domestic violence
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Koreangauteng (talk) 03:17, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Hounding and continued edit warring by Andrew Lancaster
Hi. As i'm sure you remember, Andrew Lancaster and myself had strong disagreements on the article Germanic peoples a few weeks ago. Edit warring occurred as a result, and we were warned both by Fram and yourself that future edit warring would result in a block. I eventually refrained from further editing at Germanic peoples, and Andrew Lancaster exploited this opportunity to completely rewrite the article. In the meantime, i have instead worked on improving the article Goths, which is currently under a GA review. Having rewritten Germanic peoples the way he wants it, Andrew Lancaster has now exported the edit warring to the article Goths, an article which he has never edited before, thereby seriously inhibiting my work. This seems like violations of WP:HOUNDING and WP:BATTLE to me. Krakkos (talk) 12:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
