Stacy Abrams page “dispute”

I am waiting for someone to start the discussion but no one is bothering to dispute muboshgu, they are just deleting what I am added and not even arguing it why are you not calling them out for edit warring? When I am only putting facts on the Stacy Abrams page yet because people’s feelings disagree with the facts you do not want them to be stated? Boomchickensoup35 Boomchickensoup35 (talk) 03:53, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Another thing is that I am I lying stating facts which is that she refused to concede and that she made unproven allegations of voter suppression. If you go into Trumps page and the 2020 election page it states that his claims of voter fraud and are “unproven” and “baseless” along with that he refused to concede in the sense that he is a sore loser. But for some reason it is different when it comes you Stacy Abrams you must have lots of of trees in that orchid. Boomchickensoup35 (talk) 03:56, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Correct I for the previous reply: I forgot to put a not lying before the word lying in the first sentence. Boomchickensoup35 (talk) 03:57, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Boomchickensoup35, there is discussion on the talk page. At least I'm trying to encourage all editors to communicate there and not through edit summaries in an edit war. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:59, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Muboshgu, But there has not been any formal objections to my edits just people deleting them and edit waring facts. Boomchickensoup35 (talk) 20:07, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

We seem to be going back and forth on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/117th_United_States_Congress. I am removing presumptive information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nice To Know 19 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Nice To Know 19, it is not "presumptive" to refer to Joe Biden as the president-elect. It is vandalism by removing accurate information and adding incorrect information (after January 6, Pence will still be vice president, until January 20). If you vandalize the page again, I will block you from editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Excuse me?! You are are being disruptive. Wikipedia is meant to show truth. I have removed statements that are not factual until after Jan, 6th, 2021. When the Congress meets on Jan. 6th, new information will be added to show the facts, accordingly. The information in the REVERTED edition is factually false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nice To Know 19 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

The truth is that Joe Biden received 306 votes in the Electoral College. That is not false. Saying that the vice presidency is uncertain after January 6 is false. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Yu Darvish

Look at MLB at bat. The Cubs and Padres have made the trade official. How about you get your damn facts straight before you ban people and report them. ParkerLyme (talk) 04:37, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I understand I was not a 100% right on it being “official”. I know nothing I can say will fix the harshness I have given you but, I want to apologize for everything. I am not trying to vandalize it is just I am doing as the sources have told me. I am honestly as sorry as you can possibly be. You don’t have to forgive me I just needed to get that off my chest. I understand you are just doing your job. ParkerLyme (talk) 05:32, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Can you at least respond so that I know the apology reached you. ParkerLyme (talk) 05:44, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

ParkerLyme, I'm in California, only just signing on for today. I accept the apology and understand you're not trying to vandalize. Nor did I say you did. But, the trade is pending physicals, and can be scuttled at the last minute if they don't come back clean. Look at the Mookie Betts deal from last year. Bad physicals almost killed it, and did change it. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:28, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I understand and will edit the page first thing when the trade is made official 👍🏻. Trust me this will not happen again. ParkerLyme (talk) 17:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Yu Darvish

Why was my Yu Darvish Padres edit taken down. It was announced by Jeff Passan and other official sources that Yu Darvish had been traded to the Padres. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adickey6274 (talk • contribs) 02:16, December 29, 2020 (UTC)

@Adickey6274:, because Jeff Passan is not an "official source", only the teams announcing the deal are "official sources". Passan is a beat writer who has good information, but the deal is only pending. Read his tweets more carefully, like where he says "is on the verge of happening, sources tell ESPN". That means pending. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I have already had this problem. It is because they are still pending physicals so the trade is not necessarily official yet. Plus neither team has confirmed it. ParkerLyme (talk) 17:32, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Muboshgu,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

   Send New Year cheer by adding {{subst:Happy New Year fireworks}} to user talk pages.

seriously tho

You dont have to "agree" with anything im saying, its factual information that should drive Wikipedia, not opinion. It is NOT my "opinion" that there was significant fraud during this election, it is factual, and with plenty of evidence. Just because the sources of information you worship say there was no fraud, doesn't mean its true. Similarly, just because the news sources I align with say there was, doesn't mean there really was. If the biden campaign and/or DNC as a whole disregards concern for fraud, its because they are afraid that a valid, non-corrupt legitimate investigation will shed real evidence of tampering / fraud. Seriously tho. The flagrant double-standard is disgusting and should be supported by no-one.

Thank you for not insisting I am wrong, and allowing the edit to go unchallenged.

Intelxeonmaster (talk) 19:42, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Intelxeonmaster, you are right about removing that sentence, but wrong about fraud. Just because you think there was fraud doesn't mean there was. All the attorneys general, including Bill Barr, say there was no widespread fraud. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

That is your opinion. By using the term "widespread" you are excluding individual instances of fraud which cannot be proven OR DISPROVEN by anyone. Telling me I am wrong is incorrect. You have baseless claims of no voter fraud at all.

EmmadelaFuenteFW, it's at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jana Sanchez – Muboshgu (talk) 22:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks!!! I've added it there and added a few more sources to the document too!

Thanks!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmmadelaFuenteFW (talk • contribs) 00:47, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I would argue against deletion of Jana Sanchez's wikipedia page. While she did not win her election, she is a pivotal figure here in Texas and among women especially who want to run for office. She is one of the top leaders of this movement in one of the most important states for this movement nationally. She's a big deal. EmmadelaFuenteFW (talk) 21:26, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

EmmadelaFuenteFW, don't argue here, argue in the AfD. And use reliable sources, not your opinion that she is "pivotal" or a "top leader". – Muboshgu (talk) 21:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Jana Sanchez

Hello, Muboshgu, thanks for your comments on the article I launched on Wikipedia. I'm not a frequent contributor, so I really appreciate your guidance on how to improve what I add.

Although Jana Sanchez didn't win her election in Texas, she is a well known part of women's candidate movement. I know of her because my partner contacted her to try to figure out if and how she should run for Congress.

We learned of Jana from a documentary on Netflix about her work, Surge.

Please let me know how to improve the article. It would be very good for people to know Jana Sanchez, because she is an increasingly important figure for women considering running for office.

I checked her "page information," just to see if other people were finding the article useful. People seem to be engaged, both looking and editing.

Thanks again,

Bicjic (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2021 (UTC)Bicjic

Bicjic, hi. The page would be improved with better sources that describe her in greater detail. Also, I didn't mention this in the AfD since it's not the place for it, but the organization is a bit of a mess, and neutrality can be improved. Language like "political awakening" is somewhat hyperbolic, and I don't understand the point on her dog, "who is kind of famous". Happy editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:41, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Muboshgu, really helpful advice. I went into the article and most of what I think you mention was changed. The dog bit is kind of weird, but it looks like someone sourced it. Thanks for your help. – Bicjic — Preceding undated comment added 03:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

List of bare-knuckle boxers

Hi. You deleted this article (or rather this list, I suppose) upon an expired PROD, the rationale of which rather bizarrely referenced the "questionable notability of Cyberboxingzone". Obviously I can't see the deleted material, but I have to assume it has to do with the so-called "lineal championship". With multiple sanctioning bodies claiming their title-holder to be the "world champion", the "lineal champion" (in reality, no such thing exists) is supposedly the rightful successor to an unbroken line of champions dating back to the genesis of the sport. Cyberboxingzone is one of several entities, each of which is the self-proclaimed decision-maker and final arbiter as to the present-day "lineal champion". It's absurdity in the extreme, and the bare-knuckle boxers have apparently been linked to all of this foolishness through six degrees of separation. Beginning with James Figg, the father of modern pugilism, universally recognized as the first heavyweight champion of the world, and ending with John L. Sullivan, the final bare-knuckle champion under London Prize Ring rules, and the inaugural heavyweight champion of the world under the rules of the Marquees of Queensbury still used today, the corpus of bare-knuckle boxers is colorful and robust: Tom Cribb, Jem Mace, Jem Belcher, Tom Molineaux, Joe Goss, Tom King, Jake Kilrain, Jack Broughton, Dutch Sam and his son Young Dutch Sam; each of these men is a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, and this short list doesn't begin to scratch the surface. I think this page was unfairly ousted as collateral damage of a good-faith effort to purge Wikipedia of what was otherwise rubbish that served little or no purpose. As I assume deleted content lingers quasi-eternally in Wiki-limbo, providing it isn't Oversighted, could I ask you to have a look at this page? If it isn't fit for Mainspace, would you at least move it to my Userspace temporarily? This is content that definitely belongs here, but to create it from scratch would be an extensive, time-consuming endeavor, so providing me with a copy of the deleted page would be a very sizeable benefit. Thank you, Joefromrandb (talk) 10:04, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Joefromrandb, the article was cited only to a source known as "Cyberboxingzone", and the nominator was questioning the notabiity of the source. I admit that I don't know the issue around that source, or bare-knuckle boxing in general. I've restored it to your userspace at User:Joefromrandb/List of bare-knuckle boxers. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:34, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Joefromrandb (talk) 18:36, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Muboshgu, thanks for protecting Marjorie Taylor Greene; unfortunately at least one account misbehaving seems to have slipped by, a sleeper that made one edit in 2007 and then only returned to Wikipedia yesterday. [1] Just thought you should know? IHateAccounts (talk) 03:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello User:Muboshgu. Would you consider it overkill for me to put EC protection on this article? I was planning to log it in WP:DSLOG under the WP:ARBAP2 sanctions. It's unlikely that people will be able to work out a BLP-compliant solution given the steady stream of new or drive-by editors. EdJohnston (talk) 04:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

EdJohnston, no, not overkill at all. She is the kind of person we have discretionary sanctions on post-1932 US politics. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

IHateAccounts, I'll take a look at that account. It may WP:BOOMERANG on them before long. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:51, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

There's an arrest report (now revdeleted), and that's probably what DD used--but no conviction, no court case, no context, no nothing, and the whole story is a prime example of what not to include. Drmies (talk) 01:41, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:03, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

What's funny...

...is that I was dragged to ANI for the exact same thing you just did: revert an edit and then block. I reverted an edit warrior on a talk page who posted what I considered to be highly inappropriate material (slandering BLM), and then blocked them--and now they're arguing that I am involved (INVOLVED) because I reverted them and am thus an editor and thus shouldn't block. As crazy as this sounds, there's an admin or two that seem to think that a reasonable interpretation of events. Thx for the block--I had hoped that wouldn't be necessary, that someone would revert them and they'd see the light after reading my note. Drmies (talk) 23:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, dragged to ANI for that? That's silly. The person wasn't responding to any of the standard warnings and was only discussing via edit summaries. That's a clear no go. Reverting an edit doesn't make us "INVOLVED". My political leanings mean I shouldn't close am RfC in AP2, but I will block vandals and edit warriors all day everyday. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:12, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I just had a look at your user page. Your INVOLVEMENT is clearly with that most tedious of American sports: baseball. I know an otherwise perfectly normal math professor who likes baseball, and who sometimes tries to convince me that that's somehow normal. I didn't know you'd been an admin for really only three years--I half expected you to have been one of those that simply got appointed by one dude, with another saying "OK". You've been here forever! Anyway, yeah, that ANI thread, I'm sure it'll just go away at some point, but it's always surprising to see fellow admins have such different opinions as oneself. Take care--you know I'm waiting for Monday night, 7 o'clock. Drmies (talk) 23:16, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, what's more America than baseball? Is the ANI thread still active? I'll need to check into that. From your user page, I can tell what side of Monday's conflict you're on. I'll be there for the ITN item. And plenty more baseball DYKs are coming. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:08, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Last I checked it was. Are you telling me you didn't recognize the God of Football Gods, the Man Greater Than the Bear and the Queen of Salem and Alabama's 7th Congressional District? Yeah, it's going to be a -- well who knows. My colleague is from OSU and I was totally ready to laugh at him for the whooping by Clemson--and then they put up a show the likes of which won't be soon forgotten. I know that doesn't rise to ITN level, but man what a game that was. By comparison, UA-ND was sleep-inducing. And how I hate Clemson. No, not hate--strongly dislike. Drmies (talk) 01:03, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, of course I recognized Sewell and Saban. I meant your Alabama biases were showing. It's cool, I don't like Ohio State. I used to root for Michigan when my friends went there. Congrats on the championship! – Muboshgu (talk) 04:54, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Muboshgu. I'm touched. It was exciting: I hate OSU, but my workhusband is from there, and I was not at all confident after what they did to Clemson. But Nick Saban is the greatest coach ever, there's no doubt about it. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 04:56, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I was there for the lean years, as an immigrant, fresh off of this one, and couldn't care less about your football. Ha, I like to think I paid my dues. I'm still trying to understand how other schools feel about their football teams the way I feel about mine. Drmies (talk) 05:13, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, I hear Alabama football is like a religion. I was partially raised in baseball stadiums and the little league fields. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

It's really nothing like religion--it's much more important. (Yes, there's a t-shirt that says that.) ;) Drmies (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I'll quote what my colleague texted me; I'll give him a DS notification for AP2.

By the way that game was rigged last night. In the first quarter we were tied and Ohio State was driving, then all of a sudden Alabama "scores" a bunch of points? It's ridiculous, total scam. Ohio State won by a landslide. We're the greatest team to ever play!

So there you have it. Ready for Twitter. Drmies (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Drmies, he's ready to Stop the Steal. I don't see your vote at WP:ITN/C. Gotta get the news out there. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Can you please unban me from the pages Elliot Page and Talk:Elliot Page? I don't want to post there. I just want to make that red rectangle disappear.

Talk: Jena Griswold Updates

Hi Muboshgu,

I am making a few edits to the Griswold page. She is no longer married, she was divorced so I am removing that information. I am working to update her image right now to one that is more flattering, and I am going to add the following:

In 2019, Jena worked with the legislature to pass:

The Clean Campaign Act of 2019 helps shine light on dark money and requires corporations to disclose their political ads. The Lobbyist Transparency Act gives Coloradans better information about who is working to influence lawmakers' decisions. Automatic Voter Registration increases eligible Coloradans' access to register to vote. Colorado Votes Act adds polling locations and mail-in ballot drop boxes across the state, guaranteeing them on all public universities and tribal lands

And in 2020, Jena was known as the Dr. Fauchi of vote by mail and worked to expand mail ballots across the nation. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2020-election/jena-griswold-the-dr-fauci-of-vote-by-mail-colorados-top-elections-official-on-the/article_1a3241b0-df28-11ea-bb8b-b707dbd2344c.html

Droui004 (talk) 18:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Droui004, hi. We don't use Wikipedia to make someone's image "more flattering". We use WP:RS to create a WP:NPOV article. And we don't delete valid sourced info. I have no doubts that she is divorced, but I haven't seen any sources that say that. If you have one, we can integrate it, rather than delete info. We can also add info on her tenure, like those laws. We just need sources. Are you connected with the Secretary of State's office, or the candidate herself? – Muboshgu (talk) 19:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Muboshgu, I completely understand!

I will look for more sources on the divorce, as for the rest here they are with sources:

In 2019, Jena worked with the legislature to pass:

The Clean Campaign Act of 2019 helps shine light on dark money and requires corporations to disclose their political ads.

The Lobbyist Transparency Act gives Coloradans better information about who is working to influence lawmakers' decisions.

Colorado Votes Act adds polling locations and mail-in ballot drop boxes across the state, guaranteeing them on all public universities and tribal lands.

And in 2020, Jena was known as the "Dr. Fauci of vote-by-mail" and worked to expand mail ballots across the nation.

Here is an image directly from the SOS site that would work well: https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/images/Banner/headResp.png

No, I am not connected, I am just a fan. She is my role model. Are these updates you could add? Droui004 (talk) 20:19, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Droui004, I can add some of these things later today, but WP:SECONDARY sources are preferable to primary documents. So something like this is more useful than the press release from her office. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Again problems with the vandal user

Hello! User Dante4786 keeps vandalising the pages https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steaua_Bucure%C8%99ti_in_European_football&action=history and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1986_European_Cup_Final&action=history, although UEFA recognise FCSB as the team which won the 1986 Champions League (European Cup). He is constantly focused only on erasing the name of Steaua from Wikipedia and destroying all those articles. https://www.gsp.ro/international/liga-campionilor/uefa-cupa-campionilor-europeni-din-1986-atribuita-lui-fcsb-619609.html (The 1986 European Cup, awarded to FCSB in the last published top). And he wants to hide the facts, to unlink this from FCSB!

He knowns the redirection of Steaua Bucuresti goes to the CSA Steaua București (football) but they don't hold the record. Basically nobody ever agrees with him, he does whatever he wants on Wikipedia. Such edits should be counted by a group of users, not by a known vandal.

Please take measures against this vandal, he was also investigated for cloning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Dante4786 I do think this page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FCSB&action=history is full of his clones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2F09:3A17:BD00:64B1:DD03:B5B4:6A0E (talk) 13:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

1. That's not how you report an user. Read the rules. You have to notify me so I can defend myself.

2. This is not the place to talk about Steaua and Fcsb. Use the talk section on the right articles. And no, there is no "FC Steaua Bucharest". There is "FC FCSB" and "CSA Steaua". These are the official (short) names.

3. You explained your last edit by writing "You are contesting my UEFA source". The thing is, it wasn't YOUR source. I believe that was posted by a different ip. You appear to be a new user. So congrats, you just admited to be the real sockpuppet and thus breaking the rules. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:2F09:3A17:BD00:5CB6:1A93:9C64:A379 -> the user posting the "source" vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:2F09:3A17:BD00:64B1:DD03:B5B4:6A0E -> you.

4. And just for the record, I edit in good-faith. To prove my point, somebody vandalised the FCSB page on January 16. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FCSB&oldid=1000749984. Guess who undid the vandalism? Me.

5. I explained my edit, the one which this user is complaining about, like this: "Until there is a final decision, we should avoid direct links to CSA Steaua and FC Fcsb. Leave it at just "Steaua Bucuresti", so everyone is happy. Also, I eliminated one broken link" I tried to be neutral. I went for the middle ground. How is this vandalism?

6. In December, a new user did what you are trying now. Report me on the talk page of the same admin: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Muboshgu&oldid=992821924 Is this also you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:2F0F:3014:6500:B839:1741:925A:C6BF Dante4786 (talk) 23:00, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Marie Newman's vote total

I don't think noting Marie Newman got the lowest vote share of a Democrat running in a Chicago district is apples to oranges. For instance, Mike Quigley won the special election to succeed Rahm Emanuel with 69 percent in 2009, and Jan Schakowsky won her first term in 1998 with 75 percent. So I think we can note that her 56 percent was the lowest vote share in the Chicago area, especially considering it's the most conservative district in the city. HangingCurve^{Swing for the fence} 16:00, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

HangingCurve, are there sources that talk about it? My thought was it's somewhat in the weeds and an apples-to-oranges comparison as her district is less blue. We could ask the masses on Talk:Marie Newman. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:50, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Sounds like an idea. Wouldn't have even raised it if not for the lower shares compared to other first-termers from Chicago, even allowing for the district being far less blue. HangingCurve^{Swing for the fence} 22:22, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Joe Biden

I'd be more than happy for you to share your opinion. You as well as the others went mute. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 05:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Iamreallygoodatcheckers, "mute"? I don't think I chimed in for a matter of hours, at most a day, while I was doing other stuff. In no way does that mean it's okay to insert a huge BLP violation into the article of the president of the United States. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Busy doing something? You appear to be watching Biden's article like hawk. A "huge BLP violation", I said there were unsubstantiated claims that he was cognitively declining. We call trump a racist on his page, the Biden page can't handle saying the media has false claims about him?

Re: December 2019

Hello. Apologies for being fairly late in my reply, but I just wanted to get back to ask after my edit to the Brett Gardner page from 2019.

I was not trying to be partial- though I am certainly a big fan of Gardner- in my edit. I referred to it as "ridicule" because controversy seemed to be the wrong word, and I thought the events noteworthy because of the way it impacted the rest of the season and how the MLB formally told a player to cease his dugout antics. I still think it noteworthy two off-seasons later, so I was curious if I could resolve any points of contention over its inclusion.

Please let me know if my previous edit can be restored.

They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Firestar464 (talk) 04:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Alexei Navalny

Greetings,

I was just looking at the edit history of the Alexei Navalny (Russian politician) page, and noticed you edit fairly often. Since you may have some expertise on the guy, would it be possible for you to look over a fairly heated debate thats happening right now at Talk:2024 Russian presidential election#Navalny? I thought that it would be worth mentioning him being barred from running in 2024 like in 2018 (likley for political reasons), but a user keeps insisting that its Western propaganda. Looking for a reliable editor to mediate. Thank you. LauraWilliamson (talk) 00:25, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

I have made a few edits reverting vandalism on Navalny's page, but I do not have any great knowledge of the situation besides what I see in Western media. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

The Lincoln Project Semi-Protection

It seems the protection of this page hit the media and brought my attention to it. I took a look at its history and it appears there was only one vandalism edit between its last protection and when you protected it. You also set it for 3 months which seems a bit long without much of a vandalism history to merit protecting the page under the Protection Policy. Also, given some of your edits to this article [3][4], particularly your comment on this edit you seem to be pretty involved in this article beyond just an Admin capacity.

I'd like to remove the protection and monitor and I think you should let other admins who are not involved in the editing of it to make a decision on if it needs protection again. --WGFinley (talk) 12:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

WGFinley, I think it's a bad idea to base your Wikipedia actions on a POV outlet like Fox News. If you've checked the protection history, then you see that it had just come off a one month semiprotection and there was an immediate resumption of vandalism. That one month protection closely followed another one month protection. Given the John Weaver story, it's a reasonable expectation that semiprotection remains necessary. I think removing protection is a mistake, but if you want to go ahead and try it, I ask that you be ready to reaffirm it when vandalism resumes. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:27, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

WGFinley, also, you misrepresented what happened before I applied three months of semiprotection on January 10. You said it appears there was only one vandalism edit. See 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, all in quick succession between automatic unprotection and my reprotection. I'm okay with oversight of my admin actions, but I am strongly against unprotecting that page. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Admin GorrillaWarfare has been present at that page as well, she has valuable insight that she can provide, I'm sure. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Correct, I would ask you both to consider if continuing to take admin action on an article you are both actively editing in within the spirit of the guidelines. A lot of the edits you have made have gone far beyond just removing vandalism. I can also see you reverted my tag of the article containing current events as well. Any quick search of news stories on this subject will find many stories across many reputable media outlets about the current situation within the article's subject. My action isn't based on the fact it was in a Fox News article, my attention was brought to the article when I saw the news story reading other stories on this topic. When a news outlet points out the article is protected I think it makes sense for us to be evaluating if that makes sense and if it makes sense for such a long period of time. The Semi-Protection policy's intent is to curtail disruptive editing on a large scale, I'm just not seeing that happening in this article. A handful of incidents across many months of protection don't seem to line up with the intent of the policy. --WGFinley (talk) 17:34, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

WGFinley, as I said in my edit summary, adding the {{current}} template was incorrect. The template documentation says, in part, It is not intended to be used to mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, hundreds of thousands of articles would have this template, with no informational consequence. The purpose of that template is to indicate heavy editing is underway, which is clearly not the case right now. You say that you don't see disruptive editing happening right now, and that's because semiprotection is curtailing disruptive editing as intended. As I showed you in diffs, there were four vandalism edits in rapid succession when the page became unprotected, and reprotection of the page was warranted based on that return of disruptive editing, especially given the factors that would make that article a prime target for vandalism and BLP violations. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I would hope you would have at least discussed removing the tag with me or on the article's talk page before removing it. A cursory news search shows stories on CNBC, CNN, Politico, The New York Times, CBS News, New York Magazine, and others all in the past two days on events within the article topic's organization. I added it with the goal of removing protection soon.

You stated there haven't been many recent edits to the article to which I point out part of the reason for that is you protected the page and the other is that both you and another admin have been heavily editing the contributions of others. I would hope that both of you could recognize you are clearly WP:INVOLVED in this article and shouldn't be taking administrative actions on it. Both of your edits, and that comment you made on that one removal in particular, indicate a bias on the topic. Bias is completely fine but shouldn't be mixed with wielding your mop.

I am going to put the tag back and unprotect the page and would request that, if you still disagree, you bring it for discussion on the article's talk page. I'll be monitoring the page for any disruptive editing and completely agree that if there's a significant volume of it, semi-protection should be reinstated. --WGFinley (talk) 17:55, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

WGFinley, again, the current tag is not for things in the real world news. The current tag is for articles that are being heavily edited. I won't edit war with you but I ask that you understand what the templates are for when you use them. INVOLVED is about actual disputes, not stopping vandalism / disruptive editing. I'm not using admin powers to adjudicate any content disputes. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is WGFinley reversing protection without consent of protecting admin. Thank you. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood. He wasn't accused of being an anti-semite, but he was criticized (per the sources) of making am anti semitic joke. How is that different from what's in the article, that he was criticized for making a transphobic joke? Kenosha Forever (talk) 19:11, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Kenosha Forever, then what content does get added (if any) should be more clear. I posted on Che's talk page at about the same time you did. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't understand - you removed the material , twice, without actually reading what was added? Kenosha Forever (talk) 19:15, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Kenosha Forever, no that's not at all what I meant to say and I suppose I have not been clear enough. Putting in "anti-semitic" like that without any context is POV and a BLP violation. It may be the same with the transphobic mark that I haven't yet looked into. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok, please look into the transphobic joke remark and let me know if that's appropriate. Remove it of not, or explain the difference. I don't see any difference between the two. Kenosha Forever (talk) 19:31, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Kenosha Forever, that is probably appropriate to include, as it seems to be a repeated occurrence. I am wondering though if he's commented on it, for the sake of balance. It could be worth including the joke he made last night, and outrage over it, but only with the appropriate context. And, given the Arab-Israeli DS, it's best to err on caution in including that, by which I mean a firm consensus of editors agreeing. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:35, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Muboshgu! We're having a disagreement about whether to include this section. Both KF and I agree it should be included but another user keeps deleting the section. If you get a chance, could you help us come to consensus?TheBookkeeper7 (talk) 19:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Barnett

Hello, I am Johnadams11:

I wanted to engage you in a discussion of one Richard "Bigo" Barnett in order to learn more about the way editors interpret articles like WP:GNG and WP:BLP1E.

You cited both of these in your nomination to delete the article on Barnett, writing that the article "clearly" fails on both tests. I've spent more than a little time on each of these and struggle to reach the same conclusion. To me, the "Significant," "Reliable," and "Independence" tests in GNG are easily met. I recommend a Google search of Barnett, which will yield 31 million organic results from accredited news organizations around the world. Eager to hear your thoughts on this.

BLP1E is more complex. It states:

"In considering whether to create separate articles, the degree of significance of the event itself and of the individual's role within it should both be considered. The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified."

So far, so good.

"If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. "

It's clear that the Capitol Riot was highly significant. It's clear that Barnett's role was not large. Therefore, it's clear that he fails under this concept. We move on:

"When the role played by an individual in the event is less significant, an independent article may not be needed, and a redirect is appropriate. For example, George Holliday, who videotaped the Rodney King beating, redirects to Rodney King. On the other hand, if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles, for example, Howard Brennan, a witness to the JFK assassination."

It think it's clear that this is the standard which must be used. What was the magnitude of Barnett's involvement in this major event? Let's start with an easy measurement using the example given. A Google search of Howard Leslie Brennan yields 7.4M organic search results. As discussed above, a search of Richard Barnett Yields 31.6M. This may not in itself be dispositive, but it does signal that an immediate finding of non-notability appears at odds with a very obvious and objective point of measurement.

Now let's go a bit deeper. The single most notable person in the January 6th attack was one Jake Angeli, for whom there is now a Wikipedia page. A Google search of Jake Angeli yields 3.8M results.

It seems to me that in order to assess that Barnett is not sufficiently notable for inclusion one has to be applying some metric of notability that I do not yet understand, and perhaps some WP guidelines I'm not aware of.

All insight into how you think about this would be appreciated.

Johnadams11 (talk) 17:24, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Johnadams11, in hindsight, WP:BIO1E may be the better place to review than BLP1E, as it's a notability guideline rather than a Wikipedia policy. It's better to cover the event, not the person. There some coverage of Barnett, and the event is major, so as you say, the argument comes down to whether or not his role in the incident was "major". He got press because of the photo of him in Pelosi's office and the theft of mail, but was that a "major role"? I don't agree with Angeli having a page either. He only has one because of the way he dressed and a little coverage he got for wanting organic food in prison. We also have to consider the WP:RECENTISM factor. Howard Brennan (I'm not sure if you'd get more WP:GHITS if you Google without his middle name) had his one event almost 60 years ago, so we can fully evaluate the event and his role in it. Barnett's was less than 60 days ago. The dust quite literally hasn't settled yet on the Capitol. Investigations are underway and the criminal process has only just begun. Those are my initial thoughts in reply to your post. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:16, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate the reply. Many thanks. Johnadams11 (talk) 16:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• A request for comment is open that proposes a process for the community to revoke administrative permissions. This follows a 2019 RfC in favor of creating one such a policy.
• A request for comment is in progress to remove F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a, which covers immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
• A request for comment seeks to grant page movers the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target. The full proposal is at Wikipedia:Page mover/delete-redirect.
• A request for comment asks if sysops may place the General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019 editnotice template on pages in scope that do not have page-specific sanctions?
• There is a discussion in progress concerning automatic protection of each day's featured article with Pending Changes protection.

Technical news

• When blocking an IPv6 address with Twinkle, there is now a checkbox with the option to just block the /64 range. When doing so, you can still leave a block template on the initial, single IP address' talkpage.
• When protecting a page with Twinkle, you can now add a note if doing so was in response to a request at WP:RfPP, and even link to the specific revision.
• There have been a number of reported issues with Pending Changes. Most problems setting protection appear to have been resolved (phab:T273317) but other issues with autoaccepting edits persist (phab:T275322).

Arbitration

• By motion, the discretionary sanctions originally authorized under the GamerGate case are now authorized under a new Gender and sexuality case, with sanctions authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and associated people. Sanctions issued under GamerGate are now considered Gender and sexuality sanctions.
• The Kurds and Kurdistan case was closed, authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2021 Steward Elections, the following editors have been appointed as stewards: AmandaNP, Operator873, Stanglavine, Teles, and Wiki13.

Your draft article, Draft:Ihssane Leckey

Hello, Muboshgu. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Ihssane Leckey".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

2018 US Midterm Elections article

I saw your edit here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2018_United_States_elections&diff=1009857367&oldid=1009851395 where you believed the part of the line referencing Barrett's eventual confirmation to be WP:OR, but this isn't the case. The information is well sourced and discussed at the top of the 'Aftermath and Reactions' section of the article, which notes Republican benefits from the election night with the following amongst other things: "Continued Republican control of the Senate gave the Republican Party the opportunity to confirm President Trump's nominees without Democratic support.[149] During the 116th Congress, the Republican-controlled Senate confirmed numerous Trump-appointed judges,[150] including Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.[151]"

I thus ask if on this evidence you would restore the Barrett line or that I would have your support for restoring it. It isn't WP:OR but rather an accurate closing reflection on the aftermath of the election as defined and sourced in the aftermath section at the end of the article. I just didnt carry over the sources because then we'd have a case of repetition in citations throughout. Davefelmer (talk) 17:25, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, I may have been too hasty there, so I'll self revert. I don't know that it's appropriate as ACB doesn't directly relate to the 2018 elections, but I guess they do have consequences.... – Muboshgu (talk) 17:31, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, actually never mind that, it is OR. The information was not well sourced. It used sources from the 2018 lame duck period, long before ACB's nomination to SCOTUS. That's not sourced at all. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:35, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

What do you mean? Here is one of the sources in question https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/10/amy-coney-barrett-supreme-court/616865/. How's that from the 2018 lame duck period and long before Barrett's confirmation? Davefelmer (talk) 17:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, the content I was referring to was where it previously said The election was widely characterized as a "blue wave" election, despite the fact Republicans made gains in the Senate which would be crucial to the eventual confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett. Those are all 2018 sources. That Atlantic piece from 2020 makes no mention of the 2018 elections. Hence, OR. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

References

OK but I'm talking about the previously quoted information that is above it in the article section. This part for instance: "Continued Republican control of the Senate gave the Republican Party the opportunity to confirm President Trump's nominees without Democratic support.[149] During the 116th Congress, the Republican-controlled Senate confirmed numerous Trump-appointed judges,[150] including Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.[151]", with source 151 being the one I noted above on her nomination from the very week of it. The line you reference I accept is OR and another editor already removed the reference there, but it is still listed and covered elsewhere there which makes it fair game to be noted in the lead as a summarisation of the other side of the aftermath section. Davefelmer (talk) 18:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, I assume that sources 149-150 cover that content, I haven't checked them, but 151 doesn't mention the 2018 elections and ACB. If the 2018 elections were indeed "crucial" to ACB's confirmation, which I question, sources should exist that tie the two together. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:36, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

OK, I see your point regarding the article. I've made a different note in the aftermath section seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2018_United_States_elections&diff=1009875076&oldid=1009864501, which highlights the results of the hoardes of Trump-appointed judges the article discusses the Senate approving in the aftermath of the Republican gains there. Perhaps that line with references to appointing numerous judges and getting those court majorities would be better suited to be tailed on to the note about R senate gains in the intro, since it flows and connects in exactly the same way in the aftermath section? Davefelmer (talk) 18:54, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, I don't see any mention of the "Court of International Trade" in that NPR source. It does say "no fewer than 200 judges", which can be used in the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Ehh, "no fewer than 200 judges" wouldn't feel like a good fit in the lead. Clunky and not even an accurate figure. Davefelmer (talk) 19:26, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Davefelmer, fair enough. Let's just be as sure as we can be that we're following the sources. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

piping city/state

FWIW, I blue just the city all the time. Less unnecessary blue. I figure why blue the whole long phrase Fayetteville, North Carolina when you can just blue Fayetteville, North Carolina and it's just as clear? —valereee (talk) 23:54, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Valereee, I don't mind the blue, especially since NC is quite related to Fayetteville. I more mind the wasted characters. I guess it's a personal preference thing. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:01, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

@Valereee: It seems consistent with the spirit in WP:NOTBROKEN: Introducing unnecessary invisible text makes the article more difficult to read in page source form Also, if the state is going to be displayed anyways, this discourages someone from separately linking the state and creating MOS:SEAOFBLUE with the linked city.—Bagumba (talk) 05:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

@Bagumba, oh, to be clear, I have zero objection to anyone bluing the entire thing, or changing it if I've done the opposite. I just was responding to an edit summary saying he didn't know why anyone would ever link just the town name, explaining why I sometimes did. IMO it's a judgement call, and if someone disagrees with me, I'm highly likely to shrug and move on. —valereee (talk) 12:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

HickoryOughtShirt?4, I don't know who would. Reference edits aren't a conflict of interest. I've put alot into that article, and like I said, I'm not finished yet. Last night I found an article that verifies he graduated from high school in 1928, not 1930. He must've tried to shave two years. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:07, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Julia Letlow (representative) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Julia Letlow (representative), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. It does not yet contain verification that Letlow is projected to be the winner. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. If major news media have projected that Ms. Letlow has been elected, cite them. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Trump shaming

I‘m neither a fan of Trump, nor do I feel a need to take a position against him, but I disagree with opinions, even opinions of groups of people, being presented in Wikipedia as a fact and without giving the „reliable source“, but if you think that your personal disagreement with a politician should skew the reporting in Wikipedia, so be it.

Just regarding masks, Antony Fauci had the following opinions on masks: - No need to wear them (Feb) - Wear them as a „sign of willingness“ (May) - Wear them (July, because of two hair stylists in MS, until there is a vaccine) - Wear two of them (Dec, after there was a vaccine) - No mask when two vaccinated people meet (Mar 2021, irrespective of one vaccinated person being enough to prevent spread) - ...

Whether one of these positions is „correct“ and, if so, at what time, is subject to debate. Wikipedia shouldn‘t take sides in an ongoing political debate, me thinks.

As a scientist, I tried to separate facts from opinion, but I understand that you want your opinion to be shown in Wikipedia and that‘s fine with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7000:2240:B500:C488:C7AA:AFC:5343 (talk) 14:23, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

All facts in articles are backed up with reliable sources. Point out any specific ones that aren't and we can deal with them. Regarding Fauci and masks, if you're a scientist then you know how quickly the scientific consensus can change as people figure things out, such as that COVID-19 is airborne and that these cloth masks do impede its transmission, which was not known in February 2020. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:48, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Topps cards template

Hello, Muboshgu,

Since you PROD'd all of these Topps baseball card articles, I'm hoping you will know what to do with one of the Topps templates, Template:Topps Sports Card Products By Year. Of course, you might want to wait until the AfDs close but I thought you would know whether the red links should simply be removed or whether the entire template should go to TfD. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:12, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Liz, thanks for going through those! My thought is to remove those red links and move the template to Template:Topps Sports Cards or something like that, as it's no longer "by year". I'll wait for the AfD to close. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:16, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Looks like the AfDs closed mere moments after I posted this message! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editor

Hi,

I see you recently warned Rosvel92 about edit warring; I have warned the user in the past about persistent disruptive editing, but I have neither the time nor patience to keep doing it. Especially when the user continues to ignore warnings.

The user has been inserting the same extraneous detail into multiple articles, including this one and this one. From the edits, the user seems to have a fixation on J. J. Abrams and his work on Star Wars. Much of the detail is unbalanced (a violation of WP: NPOV) and has caused undue weight. I have had to go through multiple articles removing the same detail. The user has also removed their warning history from their talk page, but I have reinserted it for awareness. What can be done about this? Thank you. Doogooder (talk) 09:27, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

They're continuing with their disruptive edits (see their recent edits to here and here). Maybe you're not the appropriate person to raise this with? I only ask because you've warned the user before and they don't seem to be listening. Thanks. Doogooder (talk) 07:34, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Apparent copyvio at Vardhan Puri

Vardhan Puri matches [5] almost word for word and I believe is a copyright violation. However, the page is now protected and I can't tag it for revision deletion. Lithopsian (talk) 19:16, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Lithopsian, well, you came to the right place. I will rev del. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Lithopsian, actually, that site appears to be a mirror of Wikipedia. It may have copied the text from Wikipedia, not the other way around. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Nope, it appear that it's not a mirror. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

That's what I thought. It's a wiki, but it appears to predate the same text at WP. Some previous revisions have already been struck off, apparently not quite the same as these and copyright a different url, but I can't see the details. Lithopsian (talk) 19:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Muboshgu, what can I do to keep the page? Vardhan is an actor and needs his wikipedia page. Va128912 (talk) 19:28, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Va128912, "needs" is a bit strong. You took it to WP:DRV. That's what you needed to do to advocate for the page. If it is indeed a copyright violation, there is no chance of it being restored. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:33, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Gotcha! So if I were to rewrite the contents of the page such that it no longer violates any copyright, then it will be okay to keep it? Va128912 (talk) 19:36, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Maybe, but not necessarily. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:57, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby IS a serial sexual predator. Whatever he did in the past is irrelevant, it's what he is. It is NOT vandalizing a page to state the truth. Please cease & desist from your threats. Senex04 (talk) 21:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Senex04, your edits are vandalism. He's notable for being a comedian / actor, not for being a rapist. The page needs to reflect in a neutral way who he is and what he has done. Calling him a "serial sexual predator" before mentioning his career as a comedian is not neutral. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

I disagree. It's analogous to mentioning Hitler was an artist before he became a mass murderer. It's editors like you that deter people from contributing to Wiki. With you it's "My way or the highway", never accepting for even a fraction of a second that you could be wrong. Senex04 (talk) 23:13, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Senex04, you were the one edit warring without taking it to the talk page to try to change what is consensus. I'd say that's "my way or the highway" thinking. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Consensus? What consensus? Only you flexing your muscles as a Wiki editor. Senex04 (talk) 17:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Removal of my edit from Trevor Bauer’s article that referenced a recent investigation opened against him on using foreign substances on baseballs.

Hi hope your having a good day,

I saw that you removed my paragraph from Trevor Bauer’s page about the investigation about the foreign substance allegedly used on the baseballs that he was pitching with. I am curious as to why you felt this wasn’t necessary to include in the article? I am open to constructive criticism as I want to make sure I am making the highest quality edits as possible. Darkhorse1444 (talk) 04:45, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Darkhorse1444, we are an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. We need to consider the long term significance and impact of events, while newspapers run any story. We also need to consider WP:BLP. If you put in that he had "suspicious" baseballs, it makes him look guilty. If MLB takes action against Bauer, then it is definitely significant enough to include. If MLB leaked that they're investigating Bauer, it could just be to scare pitcher around the league, and would be unfair to single out Bauer. We just don't know enough about this to include anything on it yet. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I definitely see what you are saying about how Wikipedia isn’t a newspaper and only historically significant events should be included. Yeah saying that they were suspicious would definitely make him appear guilty. I’ll definitely be more careful in the future and make sure it’s necessary information. So if mlb actually suspends him or does something like that I can then include it in the article? Thanks again for the response. Darkhorse1444 (talk) 17:10, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Darkhorse1444, if he gets suspended, that definitely needs to be included. It could be a story that we need to include even if he isn't suspended, but it depends on what we're talking about. This article raises some reasonable concerns about the leak. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:34, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Why was my Yang edit considered vandalization

I am new to the site how could this have been done better? I see it on the news so I thought it was appropriate sorry if it was vandalization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramsy1209 (talk • contribs) 19:35, April 15, 2021 (UTC)

Ramsy1209, hi. I didn't say it was vandalism. I cited WP:NOTNEWS, which says that "Wikipedia is not a newspaper". Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. In addition to writing in encyclopedic tone, events must be put into encyclopedic context. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. While including information on recent developments is sometimes appropriate, breaking news should not be emphasized or otherwise treated differently from other information. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Preet Bharara

My comments regarding Bharara are neutral and unbiased. There have been well publicized critiques of his cases, and in fact the section as is could easily be construed as being managed/monitored by a staffer of his. Note: https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-outside-the-law-prosecutor-1418260680 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.121.163.22 (talk) 10:53, April 16, 2021 (UTC)

Your edit did not include any references, made some of the information worse (changing "appellate court" to "lower court") and added criticisms that seem to me not significant enough to include in a WP:BLP. The phrase casting doubt on the factual basis for the SAC prosecution itself stands out as biased and WP:SYNTH. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

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.
