== Wendy Carlos Reversion == | |||
== Vandalism of ] article == | |||
Hi SarekOfVulcan | |||
You have inaccurately suggested that I am engaging in "warring" after attempting to undo repeated vandalism of the above referenced article by a clearly biased editor who apparently knows little or nothing about the history covered by this article. I thought article vandalism was not allowed by Misplaced Pages. It would appear that you may be taking sides with a clearly biased editor who is engaging in article vandalism without careful review of the substance of deleted and contributed content for this article and the ] article. Is that the case? The same editor who has waged a campaign to degrade this article also recently tried to delete the entire ] article and was reversed for that attempted sabotage. That evidence of the editor's pattern of frivolous and improper deletion of verifiably accurate content should properly be taken into account when weighing the merit of that editor's editing of this article. | |||
You reverted my research on Wendy Carlos based on ancestry.com and archives.com, however these websites are based on information from official US documents, so what's the issue? ] (]) 21:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC) | |||
== Invitation to participate in a research == | |||
== April 2011 == | |||
Hello, | |||
Regarding your comment: Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large | |||
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''. | |||
:: Hello. I did not receive a reply to my earlier question (above) about the continuing vandalism of the ] article. Novaseminary has engaged in what you call canvassing to recruit involvement of other editors to support her biased viewpoint concerning Baptists and possibly other subjects. I notice you issued a warning to me and not to her. Why is that? My contributions are not indiscriminately posted at all. You have also deleted project improvement tags on the discussion page for this very poorly developed article. You asked about the relevance of the constitutional, historical, Jewish and Christian dimensions of the history of the colony. All of that was in a stage of improving development until Novaseminary improperly deleted content from the article just as she improperly deleted content from the ] article. Have you reviewed the content deleted by Novaseminary before deciding to remove those content improvement tags? It seems very clear that this article has been vandalized through erroneous deletions when it is in need of improvement and expansion. Thanks for your guidance on this. | |||
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate. | |||

== 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. ] (]) 16:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
Hey Sarek, | |||
Just noticed the ban you proposed on AN. Only had time to look at "current" talk page of the user. Has anyone tried to talk to him/her about these stubs he's creating? Maybe if he was clued in he'd understand a bit better, and work on things in his user space first, then roll them out once they had a bit more meat to them. Just wondering. — <small><span style="border:1px solid #000000;padding:1px;"><b>]</b> : ]</span></small> 15:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC) | |||

:But they are the incumbents. We don't need any further editorializing. Leave that to the headline writers. --] 16:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC) | |||
::And he does that because he doesn't want negative comment on his talk page - see ] to see him say this. It is as if he is trying to deflect attention or something, but who knows what his objection to negative comment is.

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)

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
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.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- 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.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.
- An arbitration case titled Palestine-Israel articles 5 has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.
