New Page Reviewer granted

 

Hi Andrevan. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them โ€“ even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it โ€“ just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
  • Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 01:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary commentary on an editor

This was fine up until Maybe you should actually study international law before you make wild speculations about what is or isn't covered by it. Please leave out the unnecessary commentary on editors. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:54, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@ScottishFinnishRadish: It's all good that you are volunteering to monitor some of the p-i contentious pages. But the most effective action that some Admins really need to take is to survey the talk page conduct of all editors across many pages. I think it will become evident that there is a group of editors who are routinely deflecting and blowing up discussion with sarcastic, off-topic personal disparagement and accusations of bad faith. Instead of us all needing to go through extended structured adjudication at AE or elsewhere, it would be much more effective and hightly efficient to give such disruptive editors warnings and then blocks if needed. Andrevan is one of the most level-headed, best-informed and civil editors in various difficult topics. He was recently brought to AE on a dubious charge by an editor who continued to engage in a provocative manner in the same subject, even while the AE was open. It's an odd spectacle to see Admins first volunteering their time, then complaining about how much time and attention it takes to do this in an inefficient and unproductive manner, when Admins are in fact authorized to do it much more directly and precisely at their discretion. Happy New Year, SFR. SPECIFICO talk 17:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
As I continue to read through talk page discussions with a total length greater than the Bible I will continue to give nudges and warnings, and take actions when I see a need.
Andre, I hope you don't see this as a stern warning, but rather as a gentle reminder to avoid unnecessary personalization to help stem escalations that can disrupt already fraught discussions. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are topic banned from the Palestine/Israel conflict, broadly construed, for 90 days.

You have been sanctioned for WP:BATTLEGROUND editing.[8][9][10][11]

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanctionโ€”and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard.ย Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you.ย ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:17, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

:SFR, why shouldn't I appeal this? The diffs appear to me not violating - can you elaborate? And how come we ran up the pole of escalation from no logged warnings to 90 day topic ban? Is that standard? I have a mind to appeal, but I'd like some explanation first. [18:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)]

Oh, I see I was part of a group as a "equal representative" of "my side" to make it fair. But I'd still like to know how the diffs above show what you're saying. I appreciate the attempt to be even-handed. But my diffs above show an attempt to be conciliatory, not battlegrounding. So, I would appeal it, but I do want to know if I appeal it and it's overturned does that overturn the other topic bans? 'Cause obviously I find those more fair, which I guess was your point, and I applaud that point. But there's no need to sanction me to make it "fair." [18:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)]
Actually, I'd be of a mind to NOT appeal and NOT need your response right now if it will help the other topic bans stick, so go deal with that first. I'll take a break for a while. Is there a statue of limitations on the appeal? Andre๐Ÿš 18:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The first and last diff are not violations. One can dispute the middle two. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 01:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
BTW, SFR is "involved", so was this properly done? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 01:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't think he's involved. I think he's been patrolling this topic. and I find his other topic bans to be quite justified. Even if mine is a little thin, I don't want to quibble on it. Andre๐Ÿš 01:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Valjean, but don't worry about me. If you want to do me a favor, keep an eye on the articles I can't edit. But do so according to the judgment that any sound Wikipedian would do. Andre๐Ÿš 01:57, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
My commentary about "involved" was based on the previous section "Unnecessary commentary on an editor." Otherwise, the topic area doesn't interest me, especially since it's so volatile. I see so much collateral damage to good editors who try to help and end up sanctioned. It's sort of like the LGBTQ area. No matter one's intentions, if one says the wrong word or pronoun, there is no policy, guideline, or million RS that can help you. I dipped my toe and quickly realized it was too explosive an area for me to edit. The personal attacks are nasty and no one sanctions the perpetrator. It's pretty much owned by a group of editors, and our RS policy does not apply, at all. It's a regular walled garden. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 02:41, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think SFR is doing some good work to deal with that, Valjean. Andre๐Ÿš 02:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please

self-revert at AE. Your topic ban doesn't permit you to comment on topic-related AE filings, and it would be unwise of you to comment there regardless. I'm speaking as someone that really hopes you navigate your tban well and get an early reprieve. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 23:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Not that I recall. I'd like to know how to do it. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I could've sworn I implemented that before. Maybe when we had those little simoleons on the Trump article footnotes. The way to do it is simple. The headings all have targets, and top is a target just like the headers, that references use to hop around. Remember now? Andre๐Ÿš 03:02, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I did it and it works. I just added [[User talk:Valjean#top|โ†‘]] (โ†‘) after the text in each heading. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 04:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Transclusion question

What's the code for transcluding a lead? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Transclusion is just a {{ }} with the article inside. So create it as a separate page, and if you want to break out of the template namespace, you use ":"
e.g.
{{:Pizza party}} Check the page history of this page and I actually did it so you can see.Andre๐Ÿš 21:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but I want to only transclude the lead. How is that done? -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 21:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh, there's a shortcut for that. Help:Labeled section transclusion
here turns out there is {{Excerpt}} {{Excerpt|article name|hat=no}} as below. Seems there are several other options to configure.

A pizza party is a social gathering at which pizza is served.[1][2][3]

Typically, a pizza that is 10 to 14 inches wide will feed two people.[4] Since pizzas can include a very wide variety of toppings, one particular type of pizza party allows the guests to create their own custom-made pizza, using a selection of ingredients from among the toppings provided by the party's host.[4]

When a pizza party does not include any custom-made pizzas, and the particular preferences of the guests are unknown, it is common to include at least one plain cheese-only and/or vegetable-only pizza for people who are averse to meats or other available toppings.[5]

Andre๐Ÿš 21:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
