The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

In a recent edit to the page John Tawell, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. SpinningSpark 21:52, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Zombie, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

Courtesy notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Removal

Inquiring about this edit. I added this box earlier this year and am unsure as to why this would necessitate removal due to it correlating with the Television series. Please advise, thanks. SunnyLetO (talk) 03:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Further - next edit removaled of sourced awards in place of controversies. Clear case WP:Undue weight. Something doesn't add up SunnyLetO (talk) 03:32, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

The infobox correlated to a separate subject (the Oz show). Seems unnecessary to have two infoboxes on the page. Better to just leave it at a mention of the show in the prose. Same with the Emmys I removed -- they were Emmys for the show, not specific awards granted to Oz. PcPrincipal (talk) 10:40, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

While I don't disagree that it may be unnecessary, and in some cases, cumbersome, to have two infoboxes on one topic, WP:Be bold and identify another place where it could be suitable instead removing non-controversial material when you don't like it. Same goes for the awards. SunnyLetO (talk) 18:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Oz is a controversial figure so the content reflects that. Just the way it is. Also not sure what you mean by WP:BE BOLD in this context? The infobox doesn't belong on Oz's page and there's no show page, so I deleted it. Satisfied? PcPrincipal (talk) 22:30, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Also what other place is "suitable" exactly? See this discussion chain for why the content is on Oz's page. PcPrincipal (talk) 22:34, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from putting words in my mouth. In no way am I saying that his manner and actions are not controversial. They are, and should be reflected while adhering to WP:BLP. It's highly problematic to remove neutral content about a show the subject is on when that's where it is discussed, and replace it with controversies. That's undue weight point blank. Be bold and create something if you don't see it. The link you sent has nothing to do with the infobox and I don't have time to look at it now. Thanks. SunnyLetO (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Fyi credited your work from the link you attached above SunnyLetO (talk) 00:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Interesting. You tagged it as having no lead even though you created it? Looks a lot like what I had put together so thanks for at least crediting me. What's your plan for the now-duplicated content though across all these pages? PcPrincipal (talk) 16:59, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
