adding pp-sock

Hello, Chetsford. Can you adding pp-sock in the article Palmer Report? Because IMO, aside from semi-protection due to arbitration enforcement, it also due to sockpuppetry from IP users which reinstated same edit to change UK to US spelling. I hope you can add it because admin forget to add it. 110.137.124.134 (talk) 10:51, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Good close

I'm on WikiBreak right now, but had resolved to keep an eye on Talk:James Barry (surgeon) just to see how things went. Just wanted to say, thank you for taking the time to sift through the good and the bad arguments on both sides. While it was clear to me for a while that my proposal was going to be unsuccessful, I was afraid that there'd be a head-count close, which would have been an unfortunate end to a nuanced discussion.

I tried my best to formulate the RfC in a way that would keep the focus on policy/guidelines and away from individuals' speculation, and I was disappointed that much of the discussion veered toward the latter despite that. There were some very well-reasoned opposes—Mathglot articulated the case better than anyone had in previous threads, I think, and impressed me rhetorically as much as is possible for an argument that completely failed to convince me[light-hearted]—and some very poorly-reasoned supports, so this is far from me complaining that "the other side" was doing it wrong. It's more, if anything, that Wikipedia might not be ready yet to answer these kinds of question. I'll hold out hope that maybe 5-10 years down the line there will be room to reässess, given that there's never been a strong consensus in favor of the status quo. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:34, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Tamzin - for what it's worth, it was an unusually well-formulated RfC and, even though there was no consensus to adopt the proposal there was also no consensus to preclude it. I'm sure a reassessment at some point would very much be in order. Chetsford (talk) 03:58, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
I agree with Tamzin's assessment—and not just because the current consensus wasn't overturned, it could easily go the other way next time. This is the best of Wikipedia, and makes up for a lot of the disappointments that inevitably occur (by which I mean, not things that don't go my way, but things not decided on the merits). Thanks from me as well. Mathglot (talk) 09:48, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Jose Luis Gonzalez, artist

Hello, Chetsford: I am a novice...but this removal was not a mistake. I removed an entry someone else made that was erroneous and libelous. I just found a reference I wanted to add and found the statement that is totally untrue. Also, I don't know what it means to neutralize the page but I will try to work on that, too. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehonza5 (talk • contribs)

Hi Ehonza5 - there are five WP:RS that support the content you removed. Can you better explain why it was "erroneous"? Chetsford (talk) 06:36, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Toby Romeo

Hello there. You have rejected the Draft of Toby Romeo. Did you consider the fact that his song was ranked in the national charts of Germany and Austria? This meets notability criteria for musicians at #2. If yes, are there any other issues with the draft? Thanks for your help. --Ss279 (talk) 22:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ss279 - yes, of course, you're correct. I'm not sure how I missed that. Thanks for calling my attention to this oversight. I've accepted the article. Chetsford (talk) 23:48, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
