For pointing out this hypocrisy. I've been staying away from the article and talk page for the most part because my heart just aches but also because I'm tired of the constant attempt to shape the narrative to victim blaming...Praxidicae (talk) 18:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Praxidicae, thank you for this reversion that also tried to change the narrative. You beat me to it. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:56, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not do on Shooting of Jacob Blake. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. With this edit you appear to be trying to "expose me" in a negative way to other editors. This is not appropriate, and I find it intimidating. Please stop. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:08, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Magnolia677, Don't template the regulars. You have "exposed" yourself. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jordan Milbrath

The article Jordan Milbrath has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NBASEBALL as he's never played in a major league game per [1]. No appearances outside US I can see.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
• HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
• Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

HeartGlow30797, there is some good guidance at Help:Archiving a talk page. What page are you thinking about setting up archiving for? – Muboshgu (talk) 04:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

AN thread that mentions your edits

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is "Block appeal". Thank you. I'm surprised I'm the first to notify you since although it was an appeal of a block imposed by someone else, AFAICT although they didn't explicitly name you, User:Lima Bean Farmer has extensively and obviously discussed your edits even to the extent they asked why you weren't warned. But not so surprised I didn't bother to check. Nil Einne (talk) 08:48, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Nil Einne, thanks for letting me know about that. I saw the thread involving them yesterday, but not that they thought I should be warned for removing factually inaccurate content. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:50, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Flynn

I've been interested in some of Sullivan's cases for years, starting with his decisions in a 2008 case. Although some think of him as partisan, some believe that he particularly favors defendants' rights, others disagree. I usually agreed with him, but more than that, I think he has been courageously non-partisan. I think it's caused him to be both rightfully admired but also to be unfairly vilified. The Flynn lede had no almost no info on the case which I expect will dominate Flynn's biography, and how Sullivan had gotten the case, just a single line that he'd put it on hold. There was nothing on how he'd tried to resolve it, which I think is important info for even the casual Wikipedia reader to have available to them and I tried to give all that some grounding, and I followed up with that info in the section.

I've been seeing your edits for years. You've made maybe 20x as many and I have in the same time span, and I've almost always agreed with your work that I've run across. Obviously, if you want to restore any of my edits, you might find some of them useful, either in the case article or the main Flynn article. I'm certainly not contending that they're beyond reproach, but I think using a scalpel, rather than a halberd, would be more useful. Meanwhile, I'm going to read the case article, though I'm hugely tight for time at this point. I've put off creating and/or completing a few draft articles in order to give this article and case some needed attention. I even was going to create one on Sidney Powell, as she was Sullivan's biggest champion, even sending him an autographed book that she had written about the Stevens and Enron barge cases. (It was fiercely partisan, and anti-prosecution.) She's gone from that to being a detractor, and at least one reporter or pundit characterized her court arguments in Flynn as being more directed to the media than to the law or the case itself. I think both the main and the case articles need some mention of Trump's comments about the case as well. She also had an odd relationship with Alex Kozinski, who is an odd duck himself. Anyhow, I'm not sure if I can dedicate much more time to this over the next few days as I expect to be jammed until Tuesday at minimum. Thanks! Activist (talk) 16:50, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Activist, this conversation would be better served on Flynn's talk page, where we have started a section and where others may more easily engage. The content you wrote up seemed perfectly fine to me, except that it's about the court case rather than the defendant, and so should be on the United States v. Flynn page rather than Flynn's bio. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:56, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. What do you think needs to stay in the case section on Flynn's article, and what do you think might be usefully moved to the case page? I suspect when someone gets around to writing a book about Flynn, this will get considerable coverage. Activist (talk) 17:16, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Activist, I'm sure the scholars will have a lot of material to work with when we look at U.S. v. Flynn with the benefits of hindsight. I'd have to look at this more closely to see if I think anything should be added to the biography. The biography should be keeping the historical point of view and not including every back and forth between the various lawyers and judges, which can go on the case page. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:58, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Jake Auchincloss and Draft:Jake Auchincloss

I see that you also noticed that the two authors of these articles were trying to game the system by both editing the redirect and submitting drafts to see which they were able to do. I have given both editors a caution for American politics discretionary sanctions. We need to keep watching. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:16, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Improper and Harassing Editing

I added truthful edits to two web sites concerning elected officials, supported by citations. Muboshgu improperly edited those comments. This violates the rule of consensus and this editor is exercising unilateral control. It also reflects positive political bias trying to overcome truthful content. This politicizes content - as it skews away from one political point of view to another. This, again, renders these supposedly open forums inherently corrupt and calls into question the entire nature of wikipedia as not being true to its own terms and conditions and advertised premise. I'd like the behavior to stop and for my edits to remain unmolested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaGuy (talk • contribs) 10:50, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Republicans who oppose Trump

Please read the current list on the top of the page for what the page has listed. I will quote directly and prove to you that both of these names belong on the page. “ Among them are former Republicans who left the party in 2016 or later due to their opposition to Trump” which qualifies for Dawn Addiego. And a little more “ Among them are former Republicans who left the party in 2016 or later due to their opposition to Trump, those who held office as a Republican, Republicans who endorsed a different candidate,...” which qualifies Crist as he was the governor of Florida, Attorney General of Florida, education commissioner of Florida, and a member of the Florida state senate. He held all of these offices as a Republican. I do not want to continue edit warring on this page but these two people clearly qualify. Please let me add them back. Thank you. Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 22:58, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Lima Bean Farmer, Addiego didn't mention Trump as a reason for leaving the party. And Crist left the Republican Party in 2012. They do not belong on the pge. Let's keep the discussion on the article's talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:03, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

They both served terms in office as a Republican. It says it as a criteria for the article.

Currently we are having a dispute about this, and I know that you’re more on the deletionist side and me the expansionist, but I’m leaving out Senators that don’t specifically oppose since the meaning of the article hasn’t changed. Also, there is no consensus that those who held positions as Republicans (which is the current criteria) should be removed. Please stop removing people who fit the criteria which currently is at the page. This is just as unhelpful to the project as adding people who do not fit the criteria. Thank you! Lima Bean Farmer (talk) 01:31, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Amy Dorris?

I'm not sure that redirect you created is necessary or appropriate. Do we really need such a redirect for a relatively non-notable person (at least up until today, notwithstanding BLP1E...)? Mr Ernie (talk) 17:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Mr Ernie, WP:Redirects are cheap. And it seems like a reasonable search term to me. You can nominate it for deletion if you disagree. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:36, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Apologies

Hello Muboshgu! I just wanted to let you know that I have reached out to Brad v for a potential unblock on the article Republicans who oppose Trump re election. If I do get my editing privileges back, I wanted to make sure you knew that I apologize for edit warring and will do whatever I can to stop it from happening again. I’ve been making tons of edits in the past few weeks and avoided any edit wars. Even if I don’t get it back, a formal apology is still in order. Thank you for your time and happy editing!

Unprotection request

Hey M, I am asking you, the protecting admin, to please unprotect Theresa Greenfield so the draft at Draft:Theresa Greenfield can be moved there. As you see from the sources listed at Draft talk:Theresa Greenfield and included in the draft, in the >3 months since the page was protected in June she has received a large amount of significant coverage in reliable sources. In my view, the protection of a page against repeated recreation is appropriate in cases where no (or few) improvements have been made with each recreation; that is not the case here. It is also not appropriate for me or any other editor to go through deletion review of the AfD, since that would only be appropriate if the former, crappy deleted page is worthy of recreation and there was some procedural problem in the previous AfD. (it is not, and there was not). Thanks in advance, and let me know if you have any questions. UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:36, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

• I would second this request. Out of 69 major party US Senate nominees this cycle, 61 have articles. This includes Preston Love Jr, a Nebraska write-in candidate with no chance. To deny Theresa Greenfield a page is arbitrary and capricious, because the notability guidelines are applied in a way that is completely arbitrary. Narayansg (talk) 03:07, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

  @UnitedStatesian and Narayansg:, I do not agree. Draft:Theresa Greenfield is questionable at best to me. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Muboshgu: My concern is that using full protection as a unilateral way to prevent creation of a "questionable" page (despite several requests to unprotect from experienced editors in good standing) is a misuse of administrator privileges. It makes sense to unprotect it, because there is no threat of damage, just different perspectives on the notability threshold. You can then choose to nominate it for deletion, so that there can be an appropriate consolidated community discussion about the notability of the subject, instead of the discussion being split across several talk pages in a disorganized way. Dreamyshade (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

I would add too that your protection of the page in June seems problematic per WP:INVOLVED, given you were the one who nominated the article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theresa Greenfield. UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

These are valid points. I will think on this today. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:45, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

DYK for 2020 World Series

On 29 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2020 World Series, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 2020 World Series will be the first to be held at one ballpark since 1944? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2020 World Series. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 2020 World Series), 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.

I found where we interacted before

It was at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kerstin Emhoff. And somebody was indeed uncivil to you in that discussion but I was not the person being uncivil, I was just someone who tried to improve the article to make it clear that she was notable, which had not been obvious in its initial state. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:43, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

HouseOfChange, yes, I think that's what I was thinking of! And if that is then I owe you an apology because indeed it was another user, not you, that I was thinking of. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:17, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

No hard feelings, I can see why it made an impression. If looking at my similar battle scars makes anything better, check out Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tim_Canova_(2nd_nomination). BTW, I ended up at both Kerstin Emhoff and Marquita Bradshaw because Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Women is on my watchlist. (That is indirectly how I ended up afd-ing Tim Canova, via Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jen_Perelman (where I supported a Redirect, she was not notable IMO.)) HouseOfChange (talk) 19:16, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

HouseOfChange, the longer we're around here, the more battle scars we get. Honestly, I was pretty keyed up by watching to septuagenarians yelling at each other last night, so this can serve as a good reminder for me to check myself before I wreck myself. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:56, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I salute your courage, having taken only cowardly glances at its progress via Twitter. Remember when Gore sighed during a debate, and that was a great big scandal? Ah, the good old days! HouseOfChange (talk) 23:03, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

gretchen witmer & MI supreme court rulings

You objected to the writing of the sentence about the classification of Gretchen Witmer's recent battle in the supreme court as what propelled her into the national consciousness. Can you tell me how that update should be handled since you're so quickly killing it and classifying the update as disruptive editing? Most national articles are covering only the unconstitutionality of her response, whereas only local articles cover her response. Her gaining national attention (wall street journal, AP articles, many magazines, etc.) was worth noting in my opinion. Do you disagree? I changed the sentence to only highlight the constitutionality issue, which you deleted also. I didn't realize i was not logged in when i made the changes, so if that's an issue, it's fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jobylewisii (talk • contribs) 17:45, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Jobylewisii, "Whitmer has become nationally known for her unconstitutional response to the Covid-19 pandemic" is not in compliance with WP:NPOV. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I cited two national articles from this past weekend. One from the AP and another from the wall street journal. i can cite more if needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jobylewisii (talk • contribs) 18:16, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Jobylewisii, if her actions have been found to be unconstitutional, that's something that can be included, in the article's body, and with neutral wording. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:56, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good. It's there, later on in the article, I was just making things easier for folks looking to figure out who she is since I'd imagine there is a large uptick in the interest in her since that's largely what would bring people to her page after this weekend. have a great rest of 2020! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jobylewisii (talk • contribs) 21:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

ask question

hello. I want your opinion about this..can you help me? the article notability is clear but the problem is banned users created this before (i don't know about this problem until 2 days ago). i created that in my own edition and it's like my other works : Mostafa Aghajani & Mohammad Ali Kazemi & Kamal Nikkhoui ...I don't have a deleted article in my 80 works..please help to undelete. Best--Mojtaba2361 (talk) 16:51, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

why don't you answer me? i need your help--Mojtaba2361 (talk) 21:19, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Mojtaba2361, apologies, I missed this. As stated at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#peyman_keshavarzi_nazarloo, the article cannot be undeleted at WP:RFUD because it was deleted by a discussion, specifically at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peyman Keshavarz. You can seek to change this at WP:DRV, if you wish. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:33, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

thanks for answering. but be notice that i've created this on 29 September (without any history) and the reason of that Afd (on 24 September) was for something else (creation of banned user not for notability of the article), i didn't know the history of that issues before. i think user:GiantSnowman deletion of my article (G4) might not be correct because the pages wasn't similar. i was working on Sabail FK and created template, category, and one player for that club (look at my edits on that day).″Giant″ said that was wp:salt ! but again wrong! i have created 80 articles with no deletion,that was similar to my others. a solution for wp:salt is : if an article create in a correct edition (by confirmed user) and it be survive, we can get rid of repeatedly creation by banned users. that's important point. now the article has Require administrator access that's another problem. how can i solve this? What is the chance of success for the return of the article in wp:DRV? if an admin's action was wrong, another admin couldn't return the article without request in wp:drv ? my article is notable according to WP:NFOOTY that clearly says, only one match play in professional league becomes footballer notable and there is no difference between persons for same job (Area) : Players who have played, and managers who have managed, in a competitive game between two teams from fully professional leagues will generally be regarded as notable. See a list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football. ″Peyman Keshavarzi Nazarloo″ has played in both Azerbaijan Premier League (Azerbaijan) and Persian Gulf Pro League (Iran) and even he scored on 21 August 2020. These leagues are existed in WP:FPL as a professional's league...Best--Mojtaba2361 (talk) 22:39, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

i don't understand what was problem of my article.my last question is if an article passes wp:SNG is enough for notability?--Mojtaba2361 (talk) 23:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

again you answered all topics in your talk page except my's ! why mr Muboshgu?--Mojtaba2361 (talk) 21:57, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Mojtaba2361, the article was deleted at a discussion. So, it can't be undeleted at RFUD per the rules. If you go to DRV and explain to them that the situation has changed and the subject meets notability, they may undelete it for you. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:00, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Admin Noticeboard Discussion

I've posted a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#RevisionDelete_Misuse regarding what looks like you using revision deletion to hide past edits and edit summaries on articles.

You seem like a good site editor overall, and I'm not trying to string you up here. But I've noticed you seem to be using revision deletion much too aggressively, well beyond what WP:REVDEL allows. From what I can tell of WP policies, it looks like posting a discussion there is the correct course of action for addressing this. (Apologies if I just accidentally brought out big guns without meaning to - the guides on what complaints to post where are really not clear at all in this situation, so I made my best guess.)

Alsadius (talk) 01:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Alsadius, Based on the log, I have used RevDel on ~15 revisions in the page's history. I don't think that's a big number considering there was a scandal about revenge porn weaponized against a bisexual congresswoman who was having a throuple with a campaign staffer that led to her resignation. Your edit contained POV language and unsubstantiated slander against Hill based on the link to RedState that includes her revenge porn. I still have the image I saw on RedState seared in my memory. I wish I didn't. The release and publication of that image is a crime. Wikipedia is not going to be used to spread revenge porn. Hence, revision deletion.

I stand by my use of RevDel on that page. I do hope that explains the situation on Katie Hill's page, and that you are more careful when you insert sensitive information like this. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:40, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

I went looking at some other obvious controversial pages, for comparison. The last revision deletion on Donald Trump page was in 2018. It's been used three times on Barack Obama since then(twice for vandalism, and once for copyright issues). It's never been used once for Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 pandemic. I have difficulty believing that Katie Hill has been five times more contentious than those four articles combined in the last two years.

I can't read my edit, even with your link, so I can't comment on specifics. I do recall thinking that it was breaking news worth adding, and I think I just knocked off an edit fairly quickly, so it doesn't surprise me that it was imperfect. WP:BOLD is generally my approach, because it seems like an imperfect description of a news story is better than none at all. As for the image in question, RedState censored it to the point where I don't think you can call it "porn", though I understand if you disagree about that.

In any case, the allegations have since been admitted to, so they're factual at this point, and even before then they never met the standards for revision deletion. If your main issue here is the "I don't want WP linking to revenge porn" thing, though, I kind of get it? I still think you're breaching WP policy, but I can understand why it's one you'd feel strongly about.

I will try to be more careful with phrasing in future, though. Alsadius (talk) 13:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Alsadius, you're starting off with an WP:OTHERSTUFF argument. What happened to Katie Hill and on her wiki page was not what has been happening on Obama or Trump's pages. It was highly contentious for those few days before she acknowledged what was true about the allegation and announced her resignation.

For a WP:BREAKING situation like this was, caution is needed. I don't disagree that you "knocked off an edit fairly quickly", but that was a big mistake. At the time, it was just an allegation. With hindsight, your edit was not factually correct. And yes, RedState posted an uncensored image that was released without Hill's consent. It was revenge porn that I saw. The language you used would have been enough to require RevDel for a BLP violation, and the link being included made it imperative. I did not breach policy. I used the mop as it was intended to be used. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

The "otherstuff" was to discuss whether it was "a big number", in your words. I think you're pretty clearly misusing RevDel, because that is specifically not what it's is for, according to the policies. But I'm obviously in the minority on that interpretation.

I've withdrawn the request, because I might as well just save people some time. And by the same token, feel free to delete this section once you've read it.

Have a good one. Alsadius (talk) 19:07, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Alsadius, RevDel is for BLP violations, which Hill's page had many of during the scandal. Happy editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:09, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Question about deleted article

Hello. A few days ago, one of the pages you nominated for deletion (Joseph Colley) was deleted. I was wondering if you have access to it, or know who would? Just in case he makes his 1st team debut, cause I dont want to recreate the whole thing again. Thanks, and have a great day. ShadowBallX2 (talk) 19:30, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

ShadowBallX2, the article was actually nominated for deletion by another editor, and as it went uncontested for seven days, it was eligible to be deleted, and I just happened to be the admin to do it. Since it was a WP:PROD, the page can be undeleted by request. So, if you want me to do it now, I can, but it may be deleted at WP:AFD. If you wait until the subject meets WP:NFOOTY, then it will last forever. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:09, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

See what in the background section?

If you could clarify, I'd appreciate it. I see theories about Ukraine and the 2016 election, but no theories about the "Trump-Ukraine scandal" FROM 2016. The background section also suggests Trump had long known the conclusion of the Mueller Report, which also seems implausible. MAYBE he's just a very perceptive visionary, but he DID stare at the sun, fail to close an umbrella and lose a billion dollars in bad wagers, so I doubt it. There must be a simpler answer here? 142.51.204.154 (talk) 22:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

The Trump campaign began spinning the source of the Podesta hack in 2016. The background section of that article includes that Manafort suggested it was the Ukranians, rather than the Russians. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

I think there are too many "Trump allies", "Ukraine scandals" and definitions of "conspiracy theory" rolled into one at this article, and with Trump facing Biden instead of Clinton now, the complex timeline of which foreign cyberpower did what to or for which party's associates and when just gets stickier the more it's retold. Thanks for trying to unravel it, but I'll leave it alone as something beyond my grasp for now. If you ask me, American politics would make a lot more sense if the people elected honest judges to make the big decisions in government, including nominating a new president whenever the old one dies or quits. Maybe by 2040, cheers! 142.51.204.154 (talk) 08:15, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Evaluating vandalism allegations and a vandalTraceBot?

In the last 72 hours, @Suffusion of Yellow: reverted two very similar edits to the Wikipedia article on "political corruption" that were obvious vandalism, both written as if the current US presidential election was over, and the recent revelations in the Biden-Ukraine scandal "ended Corrupt Joe's chances of being elected President," and he lost the November 3 election by a landslide. These two cases of obvious vandalism were by User:Grayindie and User:Indanon.

Does the Wikimedia Foundation currently have anything like a "vandalTraceBot" that could do something like the following:

1. Once invoked, the "vandalTraceBot" could identify other recent changes by a suspect user and present them for manual evaluation by a human in reverse chronological order.
2. The evaluator would be asked to rate each edit on some scale with levels like "substantive", "minor, not vandalism", "edit farming", "questionable", "questionable and without a reference", "change citing an apparently irrelevant source", and "blatant vandalism".
3. After an evaluation had been recorded, the user might then be informed of similar evaluations by others, whether the edit had been reverted, and optionally the current status of the article and passage in question.
4. The "vandalTraceBot" could also optionally look for other other users using the same IP address and other IP addresses and anonymous edits from any of those IP addresses and possibly related IP addresses.
5. The tracing effort of each potential vandal and IP address would be scored, so it's easy to identify users and IP addresses that actively work against the mission of the Wikimedia Foundation.
6. A record of each such trace would saved for review by a Wikimedia administrator and / or a committee of users, who volunteer to do this kind of work. The most blatant perpetrators of vandalism can be blocked end their biased not-quite-vandalism edits could be prioritized for review.
7. To help document the impartiality of this audit process, this evaluation should follow standard blinded experiment protocols: People who volunteer to be evaluators would be asked to evaluate more than one user at a time, with at least one having been reported and at least one other selected at random. This data analysis could also help estimate the rate of undetected vandalism as well as evaluate the reliability of reports of vandalism while also helping improve the quality of Wikipedia.

If a capability like this currently exists, how can I learn more about it? If you don't know of any such capability, what do you think about creating such?

Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 02:13, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Entry for Zebpay deleted in error

Hi Muboshgu,

You deleted our company's page (Zebpay) with the following note: 18:56, 10 July 2020 Muboshgu talk contribs deleted page Zebpay (Expired PROD, concern was: notability not established for yet another bitcoin exchange)

I am the Chief Marketing Officer of Zebpay (https://zebpay.com). We have over 3 million users and are the oldest and most widely-known Bitcoin exchange in India. Two-thirds of Indian crypto investors bought their first bitcoin on Zebpay. We were founded in 2014 and have been in business continuously since then, with presences in Australia and Singapore as well. We were the first company to bring bitcoin investing to India. In January 2020 a new owner and leadership team took over from the founders.

By these criteria, we are and have been notable since 2014. We also believe we are not "yet another bitcoin exchange" but rather India's first and most widely-used. I'll be happy to provide you with further supporting evidence.

Could you please remove your proposal to delete if it's still possible? If it has already gone through then I will be creating a new page for ZebPay and wanted to let you know in advance. As a longtime Wikipedia member I have enormous respect for the work that senior editors like you perform for the world.

Thanks, Vikram — Preceding unsigned comment added by NewCapVikram (talk • contribs) 06:27, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

NewCapVikram, as the article was proposed for deletion with no objection for seven days, I deleted the page. Since it was an uncontested deletion (there was no discussion that determined a consensus, I have restored the page upon request. However, I do expect that deletion discussion will take place. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:30, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Why Revert my Hunter Biden Edit?

Did you miss the part where the investigation is ongoing? Wikipedia even says so on the Biden campaign page. Right here: Captainjackster (talk) 23:50, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Captainjackster, your edit said that Hunter Biden is under investigation, and that is completely wrong. The origin of the laptop is under investigation. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:53, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Copyvio

I see I got swept up in a CopyVio clean-up, but I have no idea what it was I posted as it's in a different section entirely? Am I reading the logs correctly? Koncorde (talk) 02:45, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Koncorde, yeah you did, but don't worry! Tvaughn included text copy-pasted from WSJ, and your diff (and soilbanga's) included that text because it hadn't been reverted yet. So, I had to revdel the diffs, but you did nothing wrong and your edit is still there in the pag. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:00, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense. I didn't think about the diffs. I was looking at the page and couldn't see anything missing of mine - so I'm looking at the clock reading 4 in the morning and thinking "maybe, just maybe, I should sleep because I am clearly missing something".

The "alleged" prime perpetrator, lawsuit defendant, is up for reelection to the county commission in 12 days. The regional paper of record outed him. I expect there will be some changes. The guy barely won election for State Senate. I expect there may be a revisiting of criminal charges and perhaps in connection with the county's water supply contract, a half-billion $ boondoggle.

October 2020

; Your recent editing history at Kimberly Klacik shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:32, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Honestly, I was not aware of this. No problem. Just don’t want to see someone in the public eye, particularly in public political elections or office being attacked by unfair means to them. I’m opting out of any involvement in this particular Wikipedia article.

I just read the Wikipedia article on protection policy, can that be applied to the whole page?

I see you’re a fellow baseball fan! What do you think of the World Series thus far? How did you feel about tonight comeback win in the bottom of the 9th inning by the Tampa Bay Rays?!

Lesla-Lar

Hi. 18:28, 5 October 2020 Muboshgu talk contribs deleted page Lesla-Lar (Expired PROD, concern was: The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar.

IKhitron, are you aware of how WP:PROD works? An editor can propose an article for deletion, and if it goes uncontested for seven days, an administrator can delete it. That's what happened with Lesla-Lar. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

You do understand it was a joke? I even added a smiley. And sorry for the missing section name. IKhitron (talk) 02:00, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

IKhitron, no, I'm not that good at picking up sarcasm with just text on a website. I didn't notice the smilie there to give me that hint. Oops. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:43, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Kimberly Klacik

FYI...there's a "one revert in 24 hours" rule at Kimberly Klacik (you've made two). May I suggest you start a discussion on the talk page? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 23:02, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Magnolia677, I did not remember that that page is 1RR, so that is my bad. I am glad to see a discussion started. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

It's all good. The discussion is a weird one. Klacik's campaign website says "bla bla bla". Then along comes a reliable source which says, "we cannot corroborate claims made on her campaign website". My concern is that "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation", per WP:PRIMARY, and if the only "interpretation" of the primary source is "we cannot corroborate this", then it's a sloppy edit all around and should be removed. Please join in. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 16:56, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

You are engaging in an edit war

You have repeatedly reverted a well documented quote by Robert Reich and are engaging in an edit war. This quote has been properly sourced from both the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune. You are your abusing administrative powers. If you wish to make suggestions, adjust or edit my content, do so in a constructive way. To completely remove a controversial and divisive quote wherein Mr. Reich has received a rebuke by multiple respected news sources is a clear indication of partisanship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mason J. Stevenson (talk • contribs) 16:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Biden Conspiracy Theories, BLP Vio

Wookian isn't redacting other than to replace hard "bribe" with "influence bought" and similar, and has double down. I think his contribs need salting because it's impossible to even discuss the topic for him to remedy without bringing up the BLPVIO topic itself. Koncorde (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Larry Krasner

Muboshgu vandalized my addition of additional information on Larry Krasner. He attempted to hide details on Krasner's PAC funding, and an increase in Philadelphia crime. Muboshgu argued that he is a paid George Soros wiki editor and is just doing his job. I suggested that is no justification for suppressing relevant data and vandalizing facts that paint Soros is a negative light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:681:4A00:4FE0:B1B5:C0D8:BCAA:79EF (talk) 00:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

To clarify: We members of the Soros Cartel are not really "paid", per se. We are merely so entranced that we do our master's bidding out of blind loyalty. Think about it: If he had to pay all of us, he wouldn't be as rich as he is. - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

1RR at Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory?

I saw your comment at Narssarssuaq's talk page, warning them about 1RR at Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. Where did you see that 1RR was applied to that page? WP:AELOG shows 1RR at Hunter Biden but not at the conspiracy article page. I'm just curious because there's no AE log entry, editnotice on the page, or talk page template warning about it, so if it is in place those should be added so editors don't accidentally run afoul. GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Ope, looks like ST47 just applied it: [3]. I don't think it was in place before, but it is now. GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:13, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

It wasn't in effect before, which is kind of surprising. I guess ECP prevented any issues from coming up until now. ST47 (talk) 23:18, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

My bad if it wasn't applied when I thought it had been. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:01, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I thought I should explain myself, as you seem rather nice

Look, I know I'm obnoxious and disliked, but I want to make wikipedia as good as it can get when it comes to American politics. The fights I got into, I usually won and were necessary. Somewhere around half the articles were created by me. I had lots of trouble getting them there. Now, most of these bear no resemblance as to what I originally designed, and that's GOOD!!!! I've no problem with that. Thing is, is that all presidential election cycles starting in 1972 are pretty much the same and like the phases of the Moon, can be predicted.

The only major fights I got into were over one FUGLY picture of Joe Biden and whether or not Rocky de la Fuente should be listed as a "Major Candidate". What's weird with that, is that almost as soon as I lost that one, consensus qualified Rocky as a major candidate and he is up there on the primary page. I also tried to say that Trump had won those primaries that he was running unopposed in. What the heck is wrong with that?

Look, the next few weeks are going to be brutal, and we should be prepared for it. Have a nice weekend!Arglebargle79 (talk) 14:33, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Arglebargle79, I know that your intent is positive. I haven't followed the discussions you've been involved in to have a full picture of it. I have noticed what looks like general anxiety to me on the 2020 U.S. prez talk page, and I hope that you aren't stressing yourself about it. There are 1,000,001 possible outcomes from this election, and one million of them won't come to pass. Also, we are prepared to handle misinformation. I expect there will be some chaotic moments, but we should get through this. I mean, at least Wikipedia will. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:45, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Muboshgu

Thank you for creating Keith Amemiya.

User:Doomsdayer520, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for this new article, but note that an earlier article on Amemiya was deleted because he was merely a candidate for office. If he loses the upcoming election, much more evidence of his notability will be required and future editors could call for the article to be deleted again. If he wins, the article could be easily expanded.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

WikiCup 2020 November newsletter

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.

The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

• Gog the Mild (submissions) wins the featured article prize, for a total of 14 FAs during the course of the competition.
• Bloom6132 (submissions) win the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in round 4.
• Rhododendrites (submissions) wins the featured picture prize, for 3 FPs in round 3 and 5 overall.
• Lee Vilenski (submissions) wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 23 FAC reviews in round 5.
• Epicgenius (submissions) wins the good article prize, for 45 GAs in round 2 and 113 overall.
• MPJ-DK (submissions) wins the topic prize, for 33 articles in good topics in round 2.
• The Rambling Man (submissions) wins the good article reviewer prize, for 100 good article reviews in round 2.
• Epicgenius (submissions) wins the DYK prize, for 22 Did you know articles in round 4 and 94 overall.
• Bloom6132 (submissions) wins the ITN prize, for 63 In the news articles in round 4 and 136 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Electioneering

You locked the Hunter Biden page, so this is for you.

"In October 2020, Hunter Biden was the subject of an incident in which the contents of his laptop were leaked to the public. Social media censored the information, and Wikipedia and its reliable sources falsely labeled it "Russian disinformation". An FBI investigation into money laundering is ongoing."

Whether Shanahan and Ratcliffe constitute "Unsuccessful nominations to the Cabinet of the United States"

Dear Muboshgu, I was wondering if you'd seen my response to you on the talk page of Unsuccessful nominations to the Cabinet of the United States. I recognise that your message was a long time ago. (And it's entirely understandable if you've forgotten it!) I was wondering if it would be okay to put Shanahan and Ratcliffe back in the page, as they seem to fulfil the criteria set forth in the article.

Font size infoboxes at US Congresses articles.

Howdy. If I agree to go with regular size font, even though it would crowd up (see 93rd United States Congress) the names? Will you agree not to add the brackets, which only crowds up the names more? GoodDay (talk) 22:54, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

GoodDay, no brackets is fine. But MOS:SMALLFONT is otherwise non-negotiable. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:06, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Fine, even though it makes the print messy & crowded. GoodDay (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

PS- I'm adding spacing as well. Will make infoboxes slightly longer, but less crowded with the larger font for the service dates. GoodDay (talk) 23:11, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

GoodDay, sounds good. Smaller font is inaccessible for many. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Got implemented, in all the US Congress articles, where required. GoodDay (talk) 00:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Only way around spacing, would've been 'blue' colouring for the service dates. But, I don't know how to do that. GoodDay (talk) 00:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Howdy. Just in case you missed the ping. A new editor has joined the discussion on this topic, over at 117th United States Congress article. GoodDay (talk) 16:01, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Women's history

Hi. Thanks for all your amazing contributions! Just a quick note to share that Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History includes contemporary women who have made history or are groundbreaking in their roles in the world. Lauren Boebert is the first woman to represent her district, that is historically significant in her community and in her district. Therefore, she qualifies for inclusion in the project. Feel free to also add Wikipedia:WikiProject Women if you'd like. As a participant in Wikipedia:Women in Red, we often add one or the other to a biography, but there is no rule saying we can't have both, too. Cheers! Missvain (talk) 20:44, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Missvain, okay. I'll self revert. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:45, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Missvain, on further thought, is being the first woman to represent that district in Congress really historic? That seems like a stretch. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Removal of DOJ Information from Steele Dossier

Hi, your user page says you're interested in truth but you are quick to remove it from the Steele Dossier page. Do you dispute the Department of Justice findings? Does the DOJ not meet your threshold as a source?

As posted:

The above paragraph, and assertion of conspiracy theory, is directly contradicted by the Department of Justice's Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane Investigation report published in December 2019. Among the findings from the DOJ, "the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016, just days after its receipt of information from a FFG reporting that, in May 2016, during a meeting with the FFG, then-Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos 'suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama)... We did not find information in FBI or Department ECs, emails or other documents, or through witness testimony, indicating that any information other than the FFG information was relied upon to predicate the opening of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hefn2637 (talk • contribs) 19:31, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Hefn2637, adding a paragraph to an article that says "the above paragraph ... is contradicted" is not how we write articles. Especially since "the above paragraph" is factual and supported by reliable sources that are WP:SECONDARY. You meanwhile use only a WP:PRIMARY source, with no context or analysis from the reliable sources, which discuss the axe the Trump/Barr DOJ has been grinding. Your addition is not helpful. For future attempts to improve the article, use the article's talk page, not mine. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Old requests for baseball peer review

A tag has been placed on Category:Old requests for baseball peer review requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

TJ Cox

Can you please explain why you are reverting my edit when this has been done for every defeated incumbent. The race has been called by the AP for Valadao. 108.14.43.250 (talk) 01:31, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Putting an end date takes away the note that he is an incumbent, which he still is. There was a note there that you deleted that says not to put a successor there as a result of a discussion that formed a consensus. Listen to the note. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok well I didn't reinstate the end date I just put "succeeded by: David Valadao (elect)" as has been done with other defeated incumbents (such as Ben McAdams). The race has been called by the AP, it's over.

At WP:VPR there is an RfC in progress about how the successor field should be used, and participation so far leans heavily toward waiting until the successor has taken office. If it closes with such a consensus, it won't matter what has been done with other defeated incumbents. One could argue that you are probably wasting your time and effort. ―Mandruss ☎ 01:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Mandruss, considering an account just added Cox's successor back to the infobox, I think it may be a waste of our time to enforce. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:45, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

There is not really anything to enforce until the RfC closes. I for one am not going around removing successor fields at this point. In my opinion all editing of that field should pause until said close, not that I would try to "enforce" that. ―Mandruss ☎ 01:49, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Closing edit requests

Hi. Please see User talk:MelanieN#Closing edit requests. Maybe someday we'll all be on the same page. ―Mandruss ☎ 19:03, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Mandruss, noted. I've seen it become more widespread with all of the repetitive "requests" and saw no problem with it. I'll stop that unless the thread becomes disruptive. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:08, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. In my opinion it would be more helpful to help educate all editors that edit requests are, by definition, not discussions – that they are explicitly for things that don't require discussion. I think closure just tends to blur that distinction. (Frankly, I think edit requests are a royal pain in the ass at articles like that, and there should be a way to turn them off at article level – which would still allow discussions to be started by people who can't edit the article. Maybe someday.) ―Mandruss ☎ 01:17, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Mandruss, I think educating these individuals would be great, but they don't seem to want educating. They seem to be the type who watch OANN and Newsmax and then come here thinking the nonsense they just heard is accurate. How do we get through to people like that? You're right though that these mindless edit requests are a PITA. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:26, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

I meant educating the experienced editors who don't know that edit requests are not discussions and persist in treating them as if they are. The correct response to a misuse of the edit request facility is to advise the OP that they are misusing the edit request facility and inform them about how to start a discussion. That should be the end of the response, but many editors can't resist responding to whatever content issue the OP raised. If we're not going to enforce correct usage of the edit request facility, we should get rid of it. It was never intended as a convenient substitute for the "New section" link at the top of the talk page. ―Mandruss ☎ 01:33, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Mandruss, that seems to be the minority of requests around these pages these days. Most of it, like the new one I see on the inauguration of Biden page, boil down to "Biden isn't president elect because litigation". When I see a more legitimate editor not knowing the process, I do my best to educate. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:59, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

The simplest truth

If you don't already recognize Democrat lies, no amount of evidence or reminders about them is going to make you start now. It's something you have to want to see, and if you ever do, Google and rereading past disputes you've had with "the other side" on this will be way more helpful in your potential discovery than I could be. If you never want to know, just keep asking the way you have been, rhetorically inviting to knock whatever follows down, or dismiss it for coming from a more conservative outlet than is generally preferred by most Wikipedians.

Anyway, Clinton lost and Harris won, so my work in this sphere is done. Unless and until Kane and The Rock square off, I'll leave post-1932 American politics for whoever wants some to come get some. I've sometimes been confused and annoyed by you on petty differences like these, but 90% or so of the time, I respect your general intelligence and work ethic. Whatever you decide to focus on, I'd endorse you for Wikipedian of the Month any month, brother. Just leave whatever applicable preliminary application form(s) on my desk before February 3, 2021.

InedibleHulk, still waiting on any reliable sources. The Democrats and the Republicans are not the same, and shouldn't be treated the same.

Waiting won't work, wanting will. If you want the truth, you know where to find it. Google is our mutual friend, my friend! But yes. Their lies are polar opposites, not the same by design. And no.

Angie Nixon

My revisions to Angie Nixon's page keep reverting, removing all of my additions due to it being 'promotional.' It is not promotional... it is is a historical account of her contributions as a community organizer and activist along with her documented plan as a house representative. Please advise what the issue is specifically with the additions I made so I can make necessary changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petlansky (talk • contribs) 16:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Petlansky, you're new here, and I get the enthusiasm, but this is an encyclopedia and we write encyclopedically. We also don't edit war to get what we want, so consider the actual problems with your edits. There is a lot of promotional writing, and phrases like Angie is the mom of a real life superhero are not encyclopedic at all. If you want to work out the wording with other editors, use the article's talk page. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:31, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate the information. I was not intending to edit war and apologize if it came off that way.

Hence, claiming fraud is false. The Gateway Pundit is not a reliable source, and neither is whatever that YouTube link is that I'm not clicking on. AG Barr said there was no fraud. None of the Trump campaign court filings actually claim any fraud. That's the "evidence" disproving fraud. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Same user who was banned keeps removing information

Hi! Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCSB

His only concern for a few months is to destroy the name of this club. Maybe even for years, I think he uses other doors.

He wants to completely erase the name of this club from each paragraph, as if it did not exist and was not part of the club's history. No user agreed with it but continues to do so on various users or IPs. Look at this! He clearly edits from his mobile phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/109.197.83.47

Then later he comes to strengthen the idea with his user from PC. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FCSB&diff=992764094&oldid=992721333 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FCSB&diff=992764478&oldid=992764094 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2F0F:3014:6500:B839:1741:925A:C6BF (talk) 07:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Firstly, this is not how you report an user. Read the rules and try again. I should be told of this, so I can defend myself. For any admin who is interested, feel free to verify my ip. I have nothing to hide. This is my only account. Also, it should be noted that even this user wrote "This was good" if you check FCSB: Revision history. So he was in fact agreeing with me. Also, I'm editing on wikipedia for almost 3 years. His first edits were made today, just to undo my work and report me.Dante4786 (talk) 18:11, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi Muboshgu - please accept my apologies. I just noticed you'd declined a protected edit request at the Eric Swalwell page after which I essentially added the bulk of the content that you'd declined. When I went to make the edit I checked the edit history and saw it was a lightly trafficked article, but neglected to check the Talk page first. Please feel free to revert or remove my edits. Thanks. Chetsford (talk) 06:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Chetsford, no need to apologize. I declined the request mostly on procedural grounds (the edit protected template is for when there is already consensus) and was undecided on the content itself. You added it neutrally, and have no interest in reverting it. Cheers. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Ashley Moody

You reverted one of the changes I made to make the article more neutral. You left this comment "There is no evidence of fraud, and having states choose their own electors is unconstitutional" Having state legislatures choose their own electors is NOT unconstitutional, and it is literally stated in the constitution that they have the power to do so. Straight from Article II, Section 1 of the USC: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress;" Furthermore, the texas lawsuit does not claim to invalidate the election results, they ask the SCOTUS to give the power BACK to the legislatures, instead of other government bodies / politicians that have the power currently. How can you claim this is unconstitutional? Also, there is evidence of voter fraud. There is evidence of voter fraud in every election, this one being no different. Claiming there is none is biased, and is untrue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:C302:D1D0:D40C:C4A4:9F3:C312 (talk) 21:35, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Edit summaries are too short to be a good place to discuss anything, so let me be a little more clear. Having states choose their own electors in the way that is being proposed, as in not as a result of the popular vote in those states, is unconstitutional. The states have their own procedures, and these lawsuits violate those laws. And no, there is no evidence of voter fraud, just some nonsense affidavits (that are not evidence) which have been disregarded by every court that has seen them.

More to the point, your edit to Ashley Moody's page reduced neutrality. Please stop suggesting that states invalidating their own results is at all a possibility. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:41, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I would like you to point me to the section in the constitution where it says that legislatures cannot appoint electors in disregard of the popular vote. You are interpreting the constitution on your own terms, and are adding bias to the article in doing so. There is evidence of voter fraud, just not WIDESPREAD fraud. Disregarding the 300+ "nonsense" affidavits there have been multiple groups that have searched voter registrations and found that dead people have cast ballots. It doesn't matter how many, just being that even one is enough proof that there WAS fraud. You are adding bias to the article by taking hardline stances on specificities, in order to reflect your own political bias. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:C302:D1D0:D40C:C4A4:9F3:C312 (talk) 21:50, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

You want analysis? Here's some from the NY Times, WaPo, US News, Politico, Lawfare Blog, and ProPublica. I'm not the one interpreting the constitution, or the faithless elector SCOTUS case. The analysts say it's unlikely at best, and that's charitable, so we will not give the WP:FRINGE view that this can happen WP:FALSEBALANCE. There is no evidence of dead people voting, or anything else you're suggesting. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:55, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Christine Fang

I request your help with Christine Fang. You seem to know something about the policies of WP:BLP.

Years ago, Fang was followed by the FBI for fundraising with the Chinese community and fraternizing with politicians. The FBI didn't make a case, and when rumors circulated in 2015 she left the country. Scandalous details were leaked a few days ago to Axios, with a sensational conclusion spies are aggressively attacking the US. It became newsworthy for the embarrassment to politicians "linked" to her (Eric Swalwell). This biography page is just a readout of the Axios article. None of the usual biographical details are known, but the top line factually says she was an "intelligence operative for the Chinese Ministry of State Security". Other editors have dismissed my calls to follow WP:BLP and seem determined to emphasize all the circumstantial evidence to persuade readers she really was a spy. Thanks for your assistance. Travelmite (talk) 11:34, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Travelmite, I had no idea Christine Fang had an article. I only became aware of her with the Axios story, though I see someone was aware enough of her to create a redirect in 2010. I'll take a look at it. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

based on the most recent talk page section, I imagine we're talking about this edit. I don't think the factual accuracy tag is needed. We cannot dispute that there are media reports about Fang making these claims, and we can report on them here as long as we do so neutrally, making clear she has never been charged, etc., but these are the allegations. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:56, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm thinking there is enough now that it passes GNG. And there will be interest in him now, as he is in the news as a candidate. And since DYKs seem to take a period of time, it's not a bad idea perhaps to post it now as an article. Unless you think - perhaps - that it is better to wait until you are sure you can mention him being the new CIA director in the hook, and therefore want to wait for that.

Shouldn't Wikipedia strive to be neutral here? All these weasel words like "subverting", "falsely alleging", "conspiracy theories", etc in the 2020 election article are completely unnecessary, especially when followed by statements from officials who, at the time they made those statements, wouldn't have had enough time to review any of the legal evidence presented. How would YOU feel if I listed climate change as a conspiracy theory. It is not fair. Also What the HECK does Muboshgu mean is that some Indian name? I am not trying to be mean. Oh yeah somebody said something bad about trump you said something like while I appreciate this coming from the left is is incorrect as the MAGA sh*t is annoying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8001:4F40:40:654B:E0A8:DC66:8F87 (talk) 03:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I agree that I am not dumb. I thought that this was what this was about, but I'm not trying to read anybody's mind. This particular IP address had no edits made before you posted on my talk page, so I couldn't trace it back to any particular action. And I see now that you have since made an edit on Greta Thunberg's page to call her "retarded". And yet, I'm going to continue responding to you anyway.

There is nothing WP:WEASEL about the words "subverting", "falsely alleging", or "conspiracy theories" as they are being used in the context of the 2020 presidential election. Joe Biden won, and Donald Trump and his allies have falsely alleged a conspiracy theory to steal the election, which has been called "subverting" American democracy by reliable sources. There has been time to "review legal evidence", and there is none. The courts have rejected almost every single case as moot because there is no evidence presented. It IS neutral to point out that the Trump campaign is attempting to subvert democracy by getting SCOTUS to throw out Joe Biden's electoral college win to simply declare Trump the winner. That was the whole premise of Texas v. Pennsylvania. It would be biased to imply anything else.

I do vaguely remember saying something along the lines of "while I appreciate this coming from the left" in an edit summary a week or so ago. Most of the conspiracy theorizing I've seen relating to the 2020 election has come from the MAGA crowd, but that particular comment I responded to came from someone left wing. It was a benign comment on a change of pace, and I rejected that anti-Trump comment as quickly as I have the pro-Trump comments that are similarly silly.

What difference does the origin of my username make? If I say that it is of Indian origin, does that somehow discredit me? Do I have to have a name that reflects White Anglosaxon Protestants to be seen as "American"? Otherwise, I really don't know why you asked that question.

To summarize, if you want to collaborate here on articles, that's great. Please stay and do so. However, we adhere to various reality-based protocols, like WP:RS and WP:CONSENSUS, and that does involve acknowledging that Biden is president-elect on pages that consider the recent election. If you can't handle that, you may have more fun on Parler than Wikipedia. Happy holidays. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#Austin Powell

Hello, Muboshgu,

I was surprised you told an editor who requested an undeletion of an article deleted through an AFD to contact the closing administrator Cirt who you must remember has been blocked and inactive for 4 1/2 years. You're kind of sending them off on a errand that will be unsuccessful since the administrator is not around to respond to a talk page message. It just seems like curious advice to offer a very inexperienced editor. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:15, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

There is no evidence disproving the president of the United States claims of fraud are "false". They may have not been proven to be true either; so, "false" should be left out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomklem (talk • contribs) 00:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Tomklem, there is no evidence of fraud at all. They are false allegations. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:53, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

That simply is not true, Muboshgu, whoever you are with the pseudonym. I contest your participation as a Wikipedia Admin. William Barr was late to look at the fraud, and you falsely quote him: He said, "... to date." Barr has since been fired for incompetence.

https://www.deepcapture.com/patrick-byrne/ whose Bone fides begin with, "Patrick received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and Asian studies from Dartmouth College, a master’s in philosophy (ethics) from Cambridge University as a Marshall Scholar, and a doctorate in philosophy (focusing on political theory, jurisprudence, and economics) from Stanford University. He has taught at the university level and frequently guest-lectures on business, the Internet, leadership and ethics.

"Patrick served as chairman, president and CEO of Centricut, LLC, a manufacturer of industrial torch consumables, then held the same three positions at Fechheimer Brothers, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company that manufactures police, firefighter and military uniforms. Patrick Michael Byrne is the former CEO of Overstock.com, Inc., a Utah-based internet retailer that has been publicly traded since 2002..."

Byrne is a reliable source. Here is what he posted on the fraud:

https://www.deepcapture.com/2020/11/election-2020-was-rigged-the-evidence/

Again, I contest, Muboshgu, your being given any authority to engage in editing of Wikipedia for political advantage. Your are a fool with an agenda. Futhermore, you are darkening the reputation of Wikipedia itself, reported in public media, here (Redacted) itself censored by Wikipedia. [Citaiton]: (Redacted) [End citation]

Biden cabinet religious diversity

Hi, I was hoping you could explain a bit more about the reversing of my edit to the Cabinet of Joe Biden. I am unclear why that quote you cite makes religious diversity original research - there are other types of diversity that aren't mentioned in that quote (for instance, that quote also doesn't mention LGBTQ diversity, yet that is included in the diversity section). Would the addition of citations make it okay or is it original research for another reason? Several of the articles on those individuals mention their religious beliefs already. What changes could I make so it could stay? Kyjama (talk) 18:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Kyjama, where are sources discussing the religious diversity of Biden's cabinet? The lack of them is what makes it original research. For a larger discussion on this, I recommend the article's talk page so the entire community can easily take part. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
