The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 16:15, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Raphael Morris moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Raphael Morris, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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. 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.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK?

I'm working on a draft article that may interest you. When it's ready for DYK, I have one in mind. As an IP, I can't myself nominate it, but am happy for someone else to (and to take DYK credit); I've done this with some other articles, and am happy to do the QPQ. As we worked on the above DYK together, I thought you might be interested in promoting this one - if not, no worries, I'll ask another editor. The article is Draft:Oakdale Golf & Country Club. The DYK I have in mind is: "... that when Oakdale Golf & Country Club was founded, The Toronto Star ran a story with the headline: "Hebrews buy farm; build golf course." 2603:7000:2101:AA00:5941:162E:547A:BD23 (talk) 15:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Autoconfirmed rights

Hi, Longhornsg. I was wondering if you have considered applying for WP:AUTOPATROLLED* rights. Generally speaking you need at least 25 articles created in order to gain this privilege, and you seem to have plenty of articles under your belt. It would not help you much per se except to save you the notification that your article has been reviewed and to automatically release your new articles for search indexing, but it would also help the new page review backlog. I'm almost certain you would be granted it given your editing history, and to my understanding the privilege stays with you indefinitely. It's of course up to you; it's still always good to have another pair of eyes on a new article. All the best, TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:29, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, @TheTechnician27. I think I already have these rights? Longhornsg (talk) 22:34, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, oops! Yes you do. I made a typo. I meant to say WP:AUTOPATROLLED, which automatically releases your new articles for search engine indexing. My apologies. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 22:38, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thanks -- applied Longhornsg (talk) 18:41, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TheTechnician27: Not sure if you're aware, but autopatrolled is the one permission that you're able to nominate other users for. I understand if you'd rather users request the permission themselves, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:52, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Dodgy quote

Hi, I only trimmed the quote here, I didn't remove the description from Kemp, so you've doubled this up. Also the quote doesn't actually finish; it stops halfway through, so it's just nonsensical at the moment. But the broader point is that a blog post on an advocacy website doesn't establish weight for repeating a quote. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:05, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks Longhornsg (talk) 18:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fyi, I meant that the material as it stands is duplicated, and the quote incomplete. I hadn't fixed it at the time, as it's a contentious topic and I didn't want to edit the same material twice. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:33, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Safari (restaurant)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Safari (restaurant) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Raphael Morris (November 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Vanderwaalforces was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This subject may be borderline notable and because this is a BLP, you need citations for the statements made on it, some current don't have. If you have a source for the date of birth please do add. There are grammatical issues but that is not part of why I am declining (per principle). If you can cite sources for statements that currently aren't verifiable then I can fix grammar and we're good to go.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Raphael Morris and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Longhornsg! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Perhaps Ireland has different permitting laws for bakeries and commercial ovens? In other words, why wouldn't they make their own bagels? Viriditas (talk) 20:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation

Hello Longhornsg, we need experienced volunteers.

New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Medhat Abbas moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Medhat Abbas, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) The sources in the article are quotes by the subject, not in-depth coverage of him. In-depth coverage is required to show that the subject is notable. 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. 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.

You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Longhornsg,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Melmann and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Eli Stefansky, for deletion, because a consensus decision previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Melmann}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Your draft article, Draft:Medhat Abbas

Hello, Longhornsg. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Medhat Abbas".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Longhornsg, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! – Joe (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JTA in JINFO citation

Your 4 October 2023 List of Jewish Nobel laureates edit added a JINFO citation which included "Cited by JTA". That phrase doesn't appear to be mentioned on JINFO's current JEWISH NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS page or home page nor the winners list page archived 30 September 2023 nor the home page archived 3 October 2023 at the Wayback Machine so I'm wondering where you saw it.

Jinfo.org is mentioned in the last paragraph of Drew Weissman, Jewish immunologist, wins Nobel Prize for his work on COVID vaccines so the phrase is justified but I don't think it's appropriate in the citation. Mcljlm (talk) 17:46, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
