Your recent move to draftspace

Hi AntiDionysius, I wanted to let you know that an article you recently moved to draftspace, Negative XP, should not have been moved because it had already been draftified before. You can check to see if an article has been draftified before by reviewing the page history or move log. Per WP:DRAFTOBJECT, an author moving their work back to mainspace after draftification cannot have it moved back to draftspace again, as a page may only be moved unilaterally to the draftspace a single time. ––FormalDude (talk) 12:42, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

That make sense, thanks; I wasn't sure of the proper procedure when someone ignores various recommendations that their draft not be moved to the main namespace, but I get now that AfD is the right way to go. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

SPI

Just for your info, I've added the last two editors at 56 to the sock Puppets investigation. Knitsey (talk) 12:48, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Great, thank you - I tried to find the original SPI page but couldn't for some reason. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Yeah I couldn't figure out which was the master as there have been so many but fortunately, one of the other blocks had details.
I've also reported both the accounts to AIV. Knitsey (talk) 13:01, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello from Germany, you removed my Youtube Link in the article "Fred Carter jr.". How can I make the link suitable?

Best Regards and thank you Martin Martin308GTB (talk) 15:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. YouTube links are not good sources for information, and in particular, the link you posted was just a link to a YouTube search rather than a specific video. You can look at the guide to reliable sources for info on what are better sources to link to. AntiDionysius (talk) 15:26, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your immediate reply. I just tried it again with the correct YT-link. But his is the only - rare -document regarding the mentioned cooperation.
Even Fred Carter's daughter participated in the comment section. Martin308GTB (talk) 16:00, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

DiscoveryTeenHD

Frankly for DiscoveryTeenHD IPs like 212.50.95.53 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) will continue to add hoaxes with abusive edit summaries that harass other editors anyway so it's pointless to warn them. In fact it is just giving more food for the troll. #prodraxis connect 15:48, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah you're probably right. I'm trying to be very by-the-book but there are moments to skip that. AntiDionysius (talk) 14:50, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Masonic Memorial Info

Hi AntiDionysius!

I hope this is the preferred way of messaging you. I had hoped to private DM so this wouldn't be on your page, but I couldn't find another way. Please let me know if these sources are good enough or if I need to provide any other information. As you can tell, I am very new to the wikipedia world and I'm struggling a little bit. Have a great day and thank you again! -Nikki

  • "The Memorial's design, which combines a classical Roman Lighthouse with a modern skyscraper to make a memorial temple, came from a renowned New York architect Harvey Wiley Corbett". "A Deserving Brother, George Washington and Freemasonry" Mark A. Tabbert. University of Virginia Press. Published 2022. page 211 -- proving first, that its Roman and not Egyptian.
  • "On November 26th 1921, the Memorial Association’s executive committee re-convened at Helmle & Corbett’s office. Consulting architect S. Eugene Osgood also attended. Together, Helmle and Corbett presented detailed drawings and a scale model of their George Washington Memorial Temple. The design incorporated elements of different classical buildings, but its basic shape was that of a lighthouse, as is fitting for a monumental structure in a port city named Alexandria. Corbett did not, however, follow the design of the ancient Egyptian lighthouse. Instead, he modeled the three-step tower on the ancient lighthouse of Ostia, the port of Rome. Each step of the tower created a smaller temple, with the top ending with a gabled roof. The three temples would employ different architectural orders: climbing up from Doric to Ionic to Corinthian." https://gwmemorial.org/blogs/news/the-memorial-temple-the-designer-and-the-design-1920-1921. --I realize this may be a conflict of interest considering we posted this, so I may be bold to add more.
  • "The design that the Association approved “in principle” was a refined version of Helmle & Corbett’s original concept, consisting of a podium and tower.61 The podium featured a front portico containing the main entry, which was inspired by the Parthenon reached by a set of wide stairs. Above the podium, a three-staged tower rose out of a solid plinth. The inspiration for the tower was a restoration drawing of the lighthouse at the Roman Port of Trajan at Ostia by the artist, M. Garvez.62" https://www.dhr.virginia.gov/VLR_to_transfer/PDFNoms/100-0128_GeorgeWashingtonMasonicNationalMemorial_2014_NHL_nomination_DRAFT.pdf (62 is a reference for Port of Trajan at Ostia, Restoration by M. Garvez,” Pencil Points 5 (Jul. 1924): 60-61)-- There are many references to that in this National Historical Landmark document.
  • "In the July issue was shown the document given by Harvey Corbett as the inspiration for his design for the Masonic National Washington memorial at Alexandria, Va., namely the lighthouse at the ancient port of Ostia, as shown in a restoration in D'Espuoy. ...he kept the idea of this beacon in mind while design the memorial nd the general plan n the grounds is similar in shape to the of the harbor in Ostia...The big conception of the lighthouse and harbor of Ostia happened to fit in with the architect's idea of the right kind of Memorial to Washington..."

Did Islamophobia on Wikipedia

Why are you targeting Muhammad Siraj's page religiously? नसीर अहमद मेवाती (talk) 13:23, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

You removed content without explaining why, so I put it back. This is a thing I regularly do on all kinds of pages when people remove content without explaining why. AntiDionysius (talk) 13:24, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Far-Right Politician Ken Paxton - sourced by VOX?

And when I remove the "far-right" language, it says there is no source and reverts to VOX as a source? Gimme a break 2603:8081:3CF0:8BF0:DCC4:A97D:7C5D:C977 (talk) 19:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

The existing text is sourced to Vox, the Guardian, the Texas Tribune and Reuters. Three of those are classed as generally reliable by Wikipedia policy (the TT is unclassed, being a bit more obscure). You provided no source for your edit. If you have reason to overturn all of those sources, please feel free to propose as much on the talk page. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Why was my edit reverted?

On Degrowth I added wikilinks, bundled together references, and fixed some POV wording that it said was a problem on the top. It says I removed references, but I really just bundled together four that were in a row into one footnote 94.137.94.6 (talk) 19:55, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

That might be my b, it looked like some of the formatting had been messed up but I didn't spend long enough looking at it AntiDionysius (talk) 19:56, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I also note that the blocked account tried to get the NOR policy deleted, which is kind of a bold move. AntiDionysius (talk) 13:45, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
Ah! you see their mistake wasn't patiently suggesting the same change over and over again but with slightly different wording until you finally work down your opponents into giving up, you know the normal method of changing policy. Damn I forgot /s does something different on Wikipedia. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 14:00, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
