| == Your proposal at AE == | |||
| ==Hello, stranger!== | |||
| Hi, I have a question. I'm not really sure how administrative processes are modified at Misplaced Pages, so I was wondering what will end up happening to your proposal at AE about comments by non-neutral editors. I think the proposal is a good one and it would be a shame to see the thread archived after inactivity with nothing changed. Will it come to a vote, or will a closing admin just decide, or what? -] (]) 21:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
| Hi, Arcticocean, | |||
| No, nope, nah, nyet, it's not going to work. Go back to your former name! You know us long-time editors don't adapt well to changes, especially small ones. | |||
| : In a couple of days, I will float the proposal on the Committee mailing lists. It already enjoys broad support at the AE and WT:A/R threads, so if my colleagues on ArbCom approve the change, I'll implement it myself. I don't think we need to endlessly discuss what is an obvious improvement. Thanks for following up on this. Regards, ] </nowiki>]] 02:34, 4 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::As far as I can tell there is only "broad support" for ''some'' sort of change, not for the '''specific''' changes you were suggesting.--] (]) 21:12, 4 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
| Any way, in case you have indeed transitioned to a new identity, I hope I'll run into you on this project in the future (in a positive way, I mean). Just spend some time working on some subject that brings a smile to your face. And stay away from noticeboards.

| I realize you removed my previous post, it's your own talk page and all, but still this is an important issue and I think it's important that editors are kept informed of current developments. So basically I wanted to know if you have proceeded to the "floating the proposal on the Committee mailing lists" stage. If so can we get a notification about this floating on one of the Arb pages somewhere, as well as some kind of transparent or semi-transparent executive summary of how that discussion is going? If not, then the AE discussion should probably be closed.] (]) 00:19, 6 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

| : That's quite fair. I haven't raised the issue with the others on the committee, and on reflection I have decided to not do so in the immediate future, because I want to see where the proposal goes from here - without arbitrator direction. The enforcement process is within the community's purview, albeit subject to significant ArbCom oversight, and I'm not sure it would be well-received for me to initiate such a serious change in a quasi-official capacity. Looking at the WT:A/R thread, I note that another editor has proposed an identical change, and that many other editors have participated in the discussion there; my hope is that the proposal will continue on its own. However, if it doesn't, I'll return to it and see what, if anything, I need to do. Regards, ] </nowiki>]] 23:36, 8 January 2012 (UTC) | |||

| Hi! I found your in the list at ] and I think you probably have had experience dealing with this kind of scenarios before. I recently started working on the station articles of Singapore's MRT Network and got into a roadblock with some editors who have somehow adopted pet articles and have been populating them with original research which contravenes ]. Much of it is about the clean up edits I have done in relation to "half height platform screen doors" which constitutes orignal research and type of citation sources. See examples: ] & ]. | |||

It seems to me that I'm dealing with kids who have no understanding on how wikipedia works and think they can populate articles with stuff they have been sharing on some train forum which they are members of. Any advice on how to deal with them? The articles I have been working on so far haven't been near ] but I think this will happen soon. Thank you!

It seems to me there is some problem in proficiency of dealing with situation where WP is being used as a vehicle for ethnic conflict.

| == AE vs. amendment == | |||
| I appreciate your suggestion about addressing the matter at AE instead of in an amendment, but my decision to raise it as a possible amendment is based on advice given by arbitrators and administrators. In addition to the diffs from Jclemens I posted in my response to you in the amendment thread, EdJohnston has warned us before that it's a bad idea to raise requests related to R&I at AE. Even though he points out the advice is not compulsory, I definitely have had the experience that involvement at AE about R&I is strongly discouraged as long as my topic ban is in effect. -] (]) 23:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for the explanation. By way of an explanation of my comment, in my view we must always establish whether an amendment or clarification could be better handled within a community forum. I understand that you have been directed to contact the Committee directly with this issue, and in any case I would certainly not criticise you for submitting such an amendment request, but I remain unconvinced that this cannot be handled as an enforcement action. However, I will reconsider your request when my colleagues have had a chance to review the thread, and it could be that we must handle this directly. Irrespective of the content or phraseology of Mathsci's comments at the amendment page, I would counsel you to be careful in your participation in that thread going forward, because I imagine we will take a dim view of unprofessionalism from you, Mathsci, or Captain Occam (as I am sure you do not need reminded!).

| ::Thank you for your advice. I have slightly reworded my explanation at the amendment thread for clarity. -] (]) 23:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
| Mathsci's now brought the issue to AE himself. I'm sure AE doesn't want to see two threads at once about the same dispute, but maybe this one will be sufficient to handle it, since his hands seem clearly "unclean" here. In any case, if the current AE thread can't resolve it, do you think that would mean this is better handled by Arbcom? -] (]) 16:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC) | |||
