Why did you close my ANI thread?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Epoch_Times_pov_warrior

I truly hope you misunderstood the timeline or details of what happened, because it surely does seem very unreasonable to me.

First off, I do not want to get unbanned, and I will not apply for that.

  • In September 2020 I noticed that the Epoch Times article claims that they support Qanon conspiracy and that they are far-right.
  • I had been reading ET for several months at the time. The far-right classification seemed inexplicable to me. And more importantly, I did not even know what Qanon conspiracy actually was, never heard it even mentioned by ET.
  • So, I checked the sources in the article, and I found out that the sources do not explicitly claim that ET supports Qanon, but they do implicitly and vaguely suggest related things. They state certain conspiracy theories, but their relationship to Qanon was only implicit/indirect/suggestive.
  • I tried to fix the article so it doesn’t phrase these claims more explicitly than the implicit wording in the sources. My edit was reverted, and I tried two more times in different ways to improve my change, but all were reverted.
  • I got warnings in my talk page.

Now late March 2022, a year and a half passed,

  • I happen to notice that the article still contains these errors, and that other people have complained about that in the talk page.
  • I did *not* try to edit the article again.
  • I explained again in the talk page, why I think that these specific NYT and NBC sources are not reliable.
  • I got banned from the talk-page, without even trying to edit the article since.
  • I tried to explain the problem in the incidents page, and you close the issue because that’s not the place to explain.
  • So which is it?
    • Am I banned for my edits 18 months ago, or am I banned for trying to explain my opinion now?
    • It certainly seems like explaining my opinion in the talk page and in the incidents was the problem, much more than the editing.
    • Are we just taking NBC and NYT’s words about a rival media outlet as god given truth?

More details of the conversations:

  • I tried to explain in the talk page that the sources are implicit/suggestive rather than explicit/clear. I also came to the opinion that these badly written sources were hit-pieces against ET. By NYTimes and NBC, which were in some sort of publication war with ET at the time, ET published several articles about their financial ties with the CCP.
  • Moreover, some of these ET “conspiracy theories”, which never had anything real to do with Qanon, have turned out true since 2020. Like the claim that COVID19 possibly started in a research lab in Wuhan, and that the CCP knowingly allowed it to spread outside China.
  • By today several outlets have published about the COVID lab and about Hunter Biden’s international financial ties. So do they all support Qanon now?!
  • I also pointed out that the far-right classification, by the same sources, is not reliable, and certainly does not fit Wikipedia’s far right politics which says fascist, racist or national-supremacist.
  • I had *not* mentioned Falun-Gong nor their relationship with ET, and didn’t want or try to change anything about that in the article.
  • I got blamed for:
    • Wanting to argue about politics
    • Not arguing in good faith about NYT, NBC.
    • Not reading the sources.
    • Arguing about Falun Gong or arguing about that relationship. Which I had not mentioned. To which I responded truly, that the only thing I know about Falun-Gong, from ET, that they are persecuted by the CCP. I don't directly care, but if one has to be a persecuted religious nut in order to have to courage to come out anti-CCP, so be it.
  • Nobody responded to the issue I raised. Some did copy the quotes from the sources, which are phrased implicitly and/or vaguely - but that just was my point, the sources are implicit/suggestive and not explicit/clear.
  • As I explained, I do think the sources are hit-pieces, but this is not directly provable. One just has to read these really badly written sources and see for themselves. However this is not crucial to make my point. It would be enough if the Wikipedia article does not state facts explicitly while they are implicit in the source.

I would like to know whether anything could be done about

  • The unreliable sources.
  • And about arbitrators who accused me of not argueing in good faith, and I do think they did that without reason, other than disagreeing with me.
  • And got me banned for expressing opinions about reliability of sources.
  • Again, I do not want to get unbanned.

thanks --Itaj Sherman (talk) 14:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Itaj Sherman: The short of it is that ANI should be reserved for conduct issues. As I noted in the closing statement, you were simply repeating the same arguments that led to the partial block. My recommendation is to WP:DROPTHESTICK, otherwise it's likely that your block will turn into a topic ban. I'm uninvolved in the matter and won't reply directly to the rest of your inquiry. Pinging the blocking admin in case she wants to reply to any of this. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 15:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
I'm sorry. I was totaly unaware of the political context of what I was saying.
I looked more deeply into the issue, and read the last source from the ET article, [1].
I wasn't even aware that Wikipedia banned right wing sources that were previously reliable, nor that it had this position about ET.
While NYT, NBC and Haaretz are held absolutely reliable, the clash is far greater than a few hit-pieces.
With some search I found this [2], which made everything clear.
I was reading the wrong site, I'm sorry for wasting yours and everyone's time. Itaj Sherman (talk) 22:34, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
You’re right. If you think Conservapedia is reliable then you don’t need to be here. Dronebogus (talk) 11:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Lol. Absolutely not reliable. Their evolution theory article is pro creationist. Yet their article on ET is less biased to the right than Wikipedia's is biased to the left I said what I had to say, you all like it the way it is. Itaj Sherman (talk) 11:57, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Vibhanshu95 (09:08, 10 April 2022)

Hi. I have created an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vibhanshu95). How can I move this article to public namespace? Thanks! --Vibhanshu95 (talk) 09:08, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vibhanshu95, and welcome to Wikipedia. My recommendation is for you to use your personal sandbox to draft an article. You should also read Help:My first article for some pointers. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 18:09, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Oneplanteam (16:34, 12 April 2022)

hi there, I'd like to create a company page, please? --Oneplanteam (talk) 16:34, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Oneplanteam, and welcome to Wikipedia. Before writing about a company, I recommend you read our guidelines on conflict of interests, which discourages editors to write or create articles about subjects they work for or are being paid by. If your username is also related to the company (as it appears to be the case here), you should consider asking for a change of username. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 16:50, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from HomelessPantheon (21:58, 12 April 2022)

Where or who do you alert about vandal or malicious edits? Someone vandalized "The Ron Clark Story" wikipedia entry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ron_Clark_Story

The whole reason I made this account was to do this. After this issue is taken care of, I will most likely delete this account.

Thanks for your time, -Homeless Pantheon --HomelessPantheon (talk) 21:58, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

@HomelessPantheon: If you want to report simple vandalism, you can go to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and follow the instructions there about how to report a vandal. But Wikipedia articles get vandalized all the time, so sometimes the better way to deal with it is to simply undo the bad edition and move on. You can also do that as an anonymous user on most pages. Thanks for wanting to help the project! Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 22:03, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Your 'correction' of my edit of the 'The Christians' page

Isabelle, it appears that you corrected my edit within less than a minute of my making it.

I did remove the content by mistake, despite having checked the pre-publish view of the page. I discovered my mistake as soon as I posted and checked the live page, and would have corrected the mistake myself, if you had not intervened. You cannot have failed to notice that I had made the edits seconds before your involvement.

I would prefer to be given more than a few seconds opportunity to right any errors, when I'm making changes. Editing Wikipedia needn't be a competition or sport. I am now going to make the change that I originally planned to make. If you notice any similar error when I have made that change, please would you wait a while to allow me to correct any such error.

Teyora - Development first look!

Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside Chlod's UltraViolet). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.

You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.

There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature

*with basic features, advanced features require configuration. To prevent abuse, auto-confirmed users will be in a restricted mode until approved by an admin or via rollback rights.

All the best, ✨ Ed talk! ✨ 23:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Ayoobs112 (11:29, 20 April 2022)

how can I create a company wiki page from scratch? --Ayoobs112 (talk) 11:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ayoobs112, and welcome to Wikipedia. Before writing a new article, we usually recommend the user to first make minor edits and additions to existing pages, since creating an article is hard work and is not guaranteed that it will be accepted. For a tutorial, take a look at Help:Getting started. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 12:44, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Indianexpresstech. Aside from all the warnings you've already received, I will say that, if it's a new company and/or portal, it's highly unlikely that it satisfies our notability guidelines, so I advise against creating an article about it. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 13:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Close at Talk:House system at the California Institute of Technology#RfC on capitalization of buildings

Hi Isabelle, you have taken the time to wade through an extended discussion, to explain the issues and to clearly explain the rationale for determining the close. I commend you for the clarity of your close. While my position in the discussion was "upheld" by the close, I would like to think (in a different circumstance) that I would make this same commendation because you have done a genuinely good job. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 07:50, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the message, Cinderella157! It was a specially long close for me, as I read every discussion in its entirety at least a couple times before deciding I'm able (or want) to close it (I also remember noting how the closing statement was larger than most articles I create).

Question About Why External Link Was Removed in List of Teen Magazines Edit

Hi Isabelle! Just wanted to know why the external link (it just linked to the website of the magazine I added, so people would know what it was) I added for Sesi in the List of Teen Magazines entry was removed. In your message to me, you stated it was "inappropriate for an encyclopedia". I'm just wondering why it's "inappropriate" when it just links to the magazine's website, which tells readers who may never have heard of Sesi what it is. Should I have linked to a different page on the website? I'm just confused. Maglove99 (talk) 19:12, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Maglove99: The message I left in your talk page directed you to the page on external links, which contains a list of times when should and should not add links to external websites. But, in general, you should only add links at the end of the article (in the "External links" section) to websites that are directly related to the subject and will help the reader better understand it. Adding links to promote a website or company (which you said is what you did) is seem as spam and innapropriate. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 20:30, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
Ok, I understand now. I apologize. I didn't mean to be promoting just showing what it was like sourcing. But, I totally understand and won't link to external websites again. (It might help to not even allow that as a choice, just a suggestion.) I see that the magazine isn't even listed on the page anymore, though. It still exists, so I feel it should still be listed, just without the link. I thought only the link was being removed -- why was the name removed, too? Maglove99 (talk) 19:12, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Question from Lolkafka1888 (15:33, 2 May 2022)

Hi Blaze! Hope you're well.

I just wanted to ask for help regarding a specific page I've been editing. I noticed that on the Jonas Mekas page there was a one-sided report of his controversy regarding his WWII activies, which I tried to expand on with as many sources as I could. There is another editor without a username, however, that keeps deleting my information and adding one-sided quotes -- as if attempting to create an official version instead of adding on different arguments. What would you recommend I do? Thanks!

- K --Lolkafka1888 (talk) 15:33, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Lolkafka1888. A quick look at the edit history shows me that you and an IP have been having some disagreements on the article about Jonas Mekas. That's entirely normal when editing Wikipedia, but I also noticed that neither of you have edited the talk page of that article. When two or more editors disagree on an aspect of an article, instead of continually reverting one another (see edit warring) and talking through edit summaries, they should engage in proper discussion on the talk page, where they can try to find a consensus on how to better proceed, while opening the floor for other interested editors to participate. I recommend you start a new thread on the talk page and engage with the IP there. If necessary, leave a message on their talk page bringing the thread to their attention. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 15:43, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

ANI PM revocation issue

Hi Isabelle, thanks for closing WP:ANI#Page move user right revoked after good-faith RM close. Most editors in the discussion agreed that the revocation of my PM right by El_C was wrong and that my close shouldn't have been overturned. The actions of El_C were the main point of the ANI discussion, rather than the close itself. Some editors, including Galobtter, didn't actually think it was such a bad close. Your closing statement doesn't include any of the points I mentioned. Do you mind updating it so that it is more balanced? Thanks. Vpab15 (talk) 20:12, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vpab15! I'm sorry for the delay, I was busy baking. I added a clarification to the initial close, as I think your request was quite fair. I had closed it initially only to make sure the discussion wouldn't meander even farther, and only thought about how the issue had been resolved, but at your request I've added what I found to be a fair summary of what happened in the discussion. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 23:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for closing the discussion. I was going to ask you to amend your close (to summarise how El_C's actions had been perceived), but you already did so. I had some things in my mind that I wanted to mention in the now-closed discussion, but ultimately decided that it had already dragged on for too long. It was a good call to close it. So thanks again, Politrukki (talk) 20:12, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Question from Murie.hahahs on Help:Introduction to Wikipedia (14:39, 15 June 2022)

Wie erstelle ich einen artikel --Murie.hahahs (talk) 14:39, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from MirrorSquirrel on The Revolution Betrayed (14:05, 15 June 2022)

Hello! I am looking at "The Revolution Betrayed" (about book by Trotsky). There are three places where a ""colloquialism" query has been added to a word. In my opinion they are incorrect. "Groundwork" and "burst" (of activity) are in my opinion normal. The other refers to opponents being "atomized" by repression. This is I think the political usage meaning breaking all links between members of a tendency- characteristic of Stalinism where opponents would not even discuss opinions with friends. Possibly this is unsuitable for general readers and should be changed. (I am a professional historian and would probably avoid using the word without explanation when writing for general readership. )

I am a native speaker of English.

What is the appropriate procedure?

Thanks --MirrorSquirrel (talk) 14:05, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi MirrorSquirrel! There are two paths you can take here; you can be bold and remove those tags from the article. If you then get reverted, you can start a discussion on the article's talk page. You can also be careful and begin the discussion concerning the tags before removing them, to see what other editors think about it (and here I'd recommend pinging the user who added them, which you can find in the article's history). Before deciding on what to do, do read WP:COLLOQUIALISM, which explains how one can avoid writing in a manner that's not seen as encyclopaedic. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 16:12, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

A token of recognition

The Closer's Barnstar
When the talk pages are so full of bickering, bludgeoning and other nonsense that admins themselves want to stay away from the discussion, some folks try to look at the brawl from afar, others get into it, but there still needs to be some referee in it. You are doing that job excellently. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:48, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar and the kind words, Szmenderowiecki! I think it's understanble to avoid mesing with a discussion like that one, as it was somewhat convoluted and within a very contentious topic. I'm just very glad that the community agreed with the closing and has moved on to improve the article. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 22:56, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from Marcusthenomad (07:28, 17 June 2022)

Good morning,

I opened this Wikipedia account to create some informative pages for our company, NEUROSPEC AG. I believe this would enrich our company's name and benefit customers seeking more information about our company's track record and history. I wanted to know what I would have to keep in mind and which requirements I might have to fulfil for this page to be appropriately written and accepted by Wikipedia.

I would appreciate any tips and help you could lend me and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, Marcus Mosimann --Marcusthenomad (talk) 07:28, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Marcus Mosimann, and welcome to Wikipedia! Writing about one's company, whether you are being paid for it or not, is frowned upon due to conflict of interests as it's very hard for someone to create an unbiased and neutral encyclopedic article in a situation like this. As a new user, it's also likely that you lack the necessary knowledge on how to create a proper article from scratch. While I recommend against doing so, you can start a draft on your company.

Unnecessary edits

As a hobo and historian , I added a well known hobo to this website . Some one who has kept the hobo culture going. You take that off the site ? And for what ? 75.108.66.35 (talk) 02:17, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

To be added to that list, it must either have an article or a reliable source attached to it. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 02:19, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Comment requested at Arbitration Enforcement

Hi Isabelle, would you be willing to comment on your close on the Warsaw concentration camp source RfC from a few months ago? We have seem to have a misunderstanding at Arbitration Enforcement that I think you could help clarify. Thanks — Wug·a·po·des​ 23:14, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Wugapodes. I'll take a look at it soon. Thanks for the heads up. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 00:34, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from Emkay2004 (05:19, 26 June 2022)

Hello how do I know that the source is reliable --Emkay2004 (talk) 05:19, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Emkay2004, and welcome to Wikipedia! There are two main ways to know if a source is reliable or not. The easiest one is going to our list of perennial sources, which are those that have been discusses by the community several times, and check to see if the place you want to use as a source is in that list. The second way is by understanding what we consider a reliable source and making that analysis yourself. This usually means checking if that source has an editorial oversight and clearly marks their promotional materials and opinion pieces as such. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 13:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Cassam malawi. I assume you want to edit your profile, and not mine, right? Every user has a userpage where they can right a bit about themselves as Wikipedia editors. Yours is User:Cassam malawi, and you can read a bit more about it here. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 22:58, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello!

I was reminiscing about my previous good article reviews — as I pointlessly often do — because I like to cherish happy memories of positive interactions I have with perfect strangers on Wikipedia. Looking at my reviews, I was reminded that you had worked on a topic that is very dear to me, and I was pleased to see you still editing around. It has been a while, so I came to say hello! I hope all is well at your end and that you are doing good. I am glad for your Gnoming work on Wikipedia — in content as well as maintenance. :) — The Most Comfortable Chair 15:32, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi The Most Comfortable Chair, nice to see you here! I'm doing fine and I hope you are as well. Like you, I sometimes enjoy revisiting old articles I've written, and decided to take a look over Gnomes after your message. I'm very happy with how it looks and am glad I had your help in shaping it. I don't do as many content edits as I probably should, but I really enjoy improving our coverage of children's literature.

About my edit to the Menna Elfyn page

Hi,

It seems to me that every 'reliable' source is just parroting the birth year they found on some untrustworthy site. As a great example, the English Wiki page says 1952, but the Welsh Wiki page says 1 Ionawr [January] 1951. It's like no one knows when she was born, and yet she's currently living. Someone should probably ask her. 216.211.119.82 (talk) 00:36, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

While having the subject confirm their birth date would be ideal, we shouldn't be adding new information without a reliable source. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 00:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
