Help request: very simple image thing

Hi. As you can see on this talk page of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wahbah_al-Zuhayli#Photo I wonder if you can help get this image to the English Wikipedia of this biography from the Arabic one. Thanks. DivineReality (talk) 03:06, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, as Anachronist already informed you, that image seems to lack the proper licensing to be used. See Licensing Andre🚐 03:35, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look

I notice that you added some good content, but the essay has undergone a number of changes, and I now wonder about the proper location of that addition. Please take a look, and feel free to integrate it where it fits best. Also, feel free to improve that essay. It addresses some very important concepts that the community really needs to understand, accept, and incorporate as a formalized modus operandi.

With certain revisions, it could be used as the basis for an article. It is related to Ideological bias on Wikipedia. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:55, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to "refactor mercilessly" my text. Andre🚐 18:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. The idea is legit and valuable. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I don't mind if you want to remove it though. Maybe it belongs in a different essay. Andre🚐 19:36, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no. It belongs. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 21:55, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move for Wikipedia and antisemitism

Hi. Just a quick note -- you "agreed" with my points about an alternative article name, and I thought you should know that I edited my comment. I hope you'll still agree, but I figured you should be aware of the edits. Cheers, ProfGray (talk) 18:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Generally still agree :-) thanks for the ping. Andre🚐 18:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

American Academy, or the New Gilead

Trump has made the opening salvo in the elimination of the Department of Education, calling for the creation of the "American Academy", a kind of educational online version of Conservapedia written by far right extremists, who will offer online degrees for brownshirts to work in the federal government. Note, this is the beginning of the final push of a two-prong attack for complete control of education, followed by a reorganization of the military. Once those are complete, the seven mountain mandate of Christian nationalism will be complete, and the US will be a theocratic republic. The GOP already has control of business, religion, and the media. They are in control of the courts but do not have control over education and the military just yet. Viriditas (talk) 03:37, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought they have that already. It's called PragerU. Why would a conservative use government money to do what the private industry can do cheaper and shabbilier? Andre🚐 03:38, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This question actually comes up a lot. As it turns out, whenever the GOP comes into a new admin, government spending goes up, not down. The elimination of the department of education is a money grab for private industry, mostly cronies of the Trump family and the wider network, who stand to make billions cutting services and raising costs. It’s the same grift they always pull. Don’t forget, the vast majority of wealthy businesspeople who support Trump rely on government contracts, kickbacks, subsidies, and aid. It’s socialism for the rich and rugged capitalism for everyone else. Viriditas (talk) 03:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I think you may be right about most of that, but I don't think the Wall Street financier people are actually going to give the fundamentalist wing what they think they are getting. They want to cut spending and reduce taxes for the wealthy, and will pretty much promise whatever they can to get that done and not necessarily follow through on it. Also, don't forget that Trump failed to repeal the ACA and only barely accomplished the tax cut agenda while failing at most everything else he wanted to do legislatively, and this Congress is going to be even thinner of a majority than the one Trump had in 2016. Andre🚐 03:47, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wall Street, venture capitalists, and Silicon Valley are on board. The whole "cut spending and reduce taxes" thing is a bit of smoke and mirrors. The GOP will cut taxes on billionaires and raise them on the rest of us. They have admitted that. As for cutting spending, I would invite you to look at all the attempts to cut spending in GOP admins since Reagan. It may surprise you. It turns out, that contrary to conventional wisdom, it’s the Democrats who cut spending after every GOP spending spree with a Republican president. Look at the data and you’ll see it for yourself. It may also surprise you to learn that the vast majority of Democratic programs actually save money, which is one reason the GOP is always against them. It turns out that the GOP plan is always about enriching themselves and disenfranchising and impoverishing the rest of us. Viriditas (talk) 03:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although I think you are right about the GOP writ large, and while that is probably true and I haven't researched any budget numbers, that probably is mostly military spending that conservatives spend more on I'll guess? E.g. Reagan in Latin America, Bush in the Middle East, etc. The main things they want to cut are domestic "entitlement" programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the EPA, the NIH, CDC, NOAA, and the DoE. They also tried to cut stuff like the NEA. Any vestige of New Deal or Great Society stuff. Whereas they will spend more on military adventurism in the Middle East and Latin America. At any rate, Congress controls the purse. I don't see any change that Trump wants to enact will be easy and may not happen at all before midterms neuter him.

Citadel Securities Partnerships Edit Request

Hi Andrevan. I see that you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies/Participants, so perhaps you would not mind taking a look at an edit request I recently posted at Talk:Citadel Securities#Add to Partnerships and History. Thanks, Cduffymul (talk) 16:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sorry, I'm not sure I'll have time to get to this. Andre🚐 23:52, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Kahina

I told you that would result in a contentious discussion. AnonMoos (talk) 23:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, and may not lead to any consensus, but I do think the issues are worthy of discussion, I think there is a valid concern about WP:TITLESINTITLES and WP:PRECISE, and sufficient sourcing to support what I proposed. The last discussion was in 2022, that is sufficiently long enough, and I do not think this discussion is the same one as last time either. Andre🚐 23:51, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration motions regarding Palestine-Israel articles

The Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

Motion 1: Appeals only to ArbCom

When imposing a contentious topic restriction under the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic, an uninvolved administrator may require that appeals be heard only by the Arbitration Committee. In such cases, the committee will hear appeals at ARCA according to the community review standard. A rough consensus of arbitrators will be required to overturn or amend the sanction.

Motion 2b: Word limits

Uninvolved administrators may impose word limits on all participants in a discussion, or on individual editors across all discussions, within the area of conflict. These word limits are designated as part of the standard set of restrictions within the Arab-Israeli conflict contentious topic. These restrictions must be logged and may be appealed in the same way as all contentious topic restrictions.

Motion 2c: Word limits

All participants in formal discussions (RfCs, RMs, etc) within the area of conflict are urged to keep their comments concise, and are limited to 1,000 words per discussion. This motion will sunset two years from the date of its passage.

Motion 5: PIA5 Case

Following a request at WP:ARCA, the Arbitration Committee directs its clerks to open a case to examine the interaction of specific editors in the WP:PIA topic area. Subject to amendment by the drafting arbitrators, the following rules will govern the case:

  • The case title will be Palestine-Israel articles 5.
  • The initial parties will be:
  • Aoidh will be the initial drafter
  • The case will progress at the usual time table, unless additional parties are added or the complexity of the case warrants additional time for drafting a proposed decision, in which case the drafters may choose to extend the timeline.
  • All case pages are to be semi-protected.
  • Private evidence will be accepted. Any case submissions involving non-public information, including off-site accounts, should be directed to the Arbitration Committee by email to Arbcom-en@wikimedia.org. Any links to the English Wikipedia submitted as part of private evidence will be aggregated and posted on the evidence page. Any private evidence that is used to support a proposal (a finding of fact or remedy) or is otherwise deemed relevant to the case will be provided to affected parties when possible (evidence of off-wiki harassment may not be shared). Affected parties will be given an opportunity to respond.
Addendum

In passing motion #5 to open a Palestine-Israel articles 5 case, the Committee has appointed three drafters: Aoidh, HJ Mitchell, and CaptainEek. The drafters have resolved that the case will open on November 30. The delay will allow the Committee time to resolve a related private matter, and allow for both outgoing and incoming Arbitrators to vote on the case. The drafters have changed the party list to the following individuals:

The drafters reserve the right to amend the list of parties if necessary. The drafters anticipate that the case will include a two week evidence phase, a one week workshop phase, and a two week proposed decision phase.

The related Arbitration enforcement referral: Nableezy et al request has been folded into this case. Evidence from the related private matter, as alluded to in the Covert canvassing and proxying in the Israel-Arab conflict topic area case request, will be examined prior to the start of the case, and resolved separately.
