Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

DYK nomination of Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument

Hello! Your submission of Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Edwardx (talk) 22:31, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

IEX/Brad Katsuyama

Thanks for your contributions to both articles. I've reviewed the end result and they seem satisfactory. I'll improve on write-up on the other 2 criticisms as that seems to be the most controversial. 198.0.163.1 (talk) 14:33, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: Brad Katsuyama's Biographic Page - HFTs Criminal and Civil Investigations:

I am re-adding the references to the ongoing criminal and civil investigations of certain high frequency trading exchanges that were recently deleted as they were claimed to not be relevant. This is absolutely relevant information to this Brad Katsuyama's page as these investigations are the reason this person initiated IEX, which is definitely relevant to their biography, with one of the main reasons this person is known and has a Misplaced Pages page to begin with and therefore certainly relevant to be place on their biography here. Additionally, this information is completely objective and accurate with no bias whatsoever. These comments portray facts, totally objectively and relevant to the person's biographical work section. I must question the motivation to remove these comments due to the previously mentioned reasons as to why they are relevant and mundane to this person's Misplaced Pages page; the action of removing them is a clearly biased and transparent action to silence the real world events surrounding significant work of this person and are therefore completely justified to be on his Misplaced Pages page and are well within Misplaced Pages's guidelines and policies. Please do not remove these justified, objective and relevant comments again on the matter of criminal and civil investigations into high frequency trading exchanges brought on by this person's work, if you do so your agenda to silence legitimate, real world criticism of an outcome of this person's major work life will become even more transparent and known. For complete and full disclosure I have absolutely no connection or relationship with Brad Katsuyama, IEX, or any organization or person associated with the content of this post. I am simply trying to provide objective, relevant information that is uncensored and free from bias so Misplaced Pages users will get the best and most accurate experience with the site. Thank you. Calboarder24 (talk) 05:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

These comments will be re-added and will remain on this person's Misplaced Pages page as relevant, objective, free from bias and well within Misplaced Pages's guidelines and policies:

Since the publishing of Flash Boys and the opening of IEX, several U.S. authorities have confirmed they are looking into certain practices used by high-frequency traders (HFTs), whose strategies can involve executing thousands of trades in milliseconds using insider knowledge that is not publicly available, giving these HFTs an unfair market advantage. The FBI, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Justice Department and the attorney-general of New York State all have investigations underway.

The USA Today article nowhere mentions Katsuyama, Flash Boys or IEX. Therefore, the insertions are original research and synthesis, which are prohibited on Misplaced Pages. Please use the article talk page for further discussion of this matter. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:48, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I've moved this discussion to the talk page of Brad Katsuyama's article. I agree with NorthBySouthBaranof's point of view; I do not think that Misplaced Pages should be used as a platform to forward, or market, any particular person's professional goals and work. Hence, I believe it is consistent with Misplaced Pages policies that content in Brad Katsuyama's article should remain strictly biographical. Sophie.grothendieck (talk) 08:40, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument

On 14 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that at various times the ground sloth, Billy the Kid, Geronimo, and astronauts could be found in what is now the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi there. Just dropping a courtesy note that I've listed Donghua Liu for AFD here: because it looks like a magnet for BLP problems. Hopefully I'm not treading on anyone's toes. Cheers. Daveosaurus (talk) 05:39, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 Benghazi attack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Allen West (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please make note at WP:BLPN

I do not believe that comments on a talk page when they are referring to the article is a BLP violation. You are free to go to WP:BLPN, but I think that removing talk page comments under 'BLP' is justified, and is a dangerous road. Tutelary (talk) 17:40, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

You need to read WP:BLP. The policy applies anywhere on the encyclopedia, including talk pages. Unsupported allegations of criminal activity are absolutely prohibited anywhere. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I have read it, and nowhere did it mention where you can redact comments on talk pages for the purposes of BLP. The mention of 'including talk pages' is vague. WP:BLPCRIME refers specifically to crime and mentions in the article. One IP editor discussing a common notion of Anita's critics is not a BLP violation. Tutelary (talk) 17:52, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, yes it is a BLP violation. Feel free to open a discussion on the BLPN if you wish. I'll be happy to participate. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:55, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Tendentious editing

You recently restored improper content to the Jennifer Rubin (journalist) article without discussion. The material badly misrepresents its sources and violates multiple core policies including NPOV and BLP. I request that you please not restore it again without at least showing up and saying something at Talk. Centrify (f / k / a FCAYS) (talk) (contribs) 19:27, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  - 2/0 (cont.) 22:09, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I completely agree that IMDB is not sufficient for disputed info. I don't see any "dispute" about it being correct though, just some editor with apparent COI who does not wish the info to be seen. DMacks (talk) 07:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

The fact that they're removing it constitutes a dispute, more or less. If there's not a better source for it, there's not really a reason we should have it anyway. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:53, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Matches what's reported at . Filmbug is a generally variable-reliability source (some user-generated content, some content cited to wikipedia). But that particular one states Bio courtesy Warner Independent for "Looking for Comedy In the Muslim World". That cited work is apparently some sort of documentary that stars this person (and is notable enough to have a WP article), but I don't have access to a copy myself.

Alison Lundergan Grimes

Your recent editing history at Alison Lundergan Grimes shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.CFredkin (talk) 04:33, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Ferguson

Please reconsider or modify your addition. See BLPN for more details, but police reports are primary sources. Even if we were to include "peaceful" you should attribute that. I doubt very much that Alders felt they were being peaceful, whatever that means. From the short portion of the video, it seemed adversarial,at best. But this is why we use secondary reliable sources.Two kinds of pork (talk) 18:54, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it matters what Albers' state of mind was - the objective facts are pretty clear. Any officer of the law who levels a rifle at unarmed, peaceful protestors, says "I will fucking kill you, get back" and responds with "Go fuck yourself" when asked to identify himself is clearly acting inappropriately. If Albers felt they weren't peaceful - then that's Albers' problem with understanding the nature of the word. There are no allegations that Albers was threatened with violence nor are there any allegations that the protestors he aimed a weapon at were armed. Merely feeling discomfort with people who oppose you is not, under any objective consideration of policing, valid reason to threaten them with deadly force.

The secondary reliable sources here are effectively unanimous. I'm not aware of any reliable source making any claims that what Albers did was appropriate - but if there are some, we should certainly include them. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

this is why we use secondary sources to describe the crowd. Or we attribute to the primary source. We should only cite primary sources in very limited circumstances. Two kinds of pork (talk) 19:47, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Brown article

Hi, I think that two Hoosiers can work together. Of course I was only a Hoosier while at ND for my masters, but love Indiana. Of course I never thought my edits had a chance of sticking, but maybe I can get some traction for a more neutral encyclopedic lede. Do you really think that lede represents the goals of the WP project? Best regards! Kevin --Kevin Murray (talk) 01:42, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Gamergate

Please stop trying to delete information which has appeared in multiple reliable sources; it has already been noted to you repeatedly on Zoe Quinn that it is not a violation of BLP. If you continue to do so I will seek to have you barred from these pages; I appreciate your work on finding sources and don't want to exclude you from the editing process, but if you continue to delete such information I will have to in the interest of allowing the article to move forward. Titanium Dragon (talk) 08:51, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Given the fact that it's already been revdel'ed multiple times by several different administrators from both articles, I'm pretty sure that you're the one who is at risk of being banned for violating policy. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:53, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
