Satanic Minion, I Challenge Thee To Single Combat!

Foul Fiend, though stands Unmasked and revealed as the Satanic Minion thou art! Yea Indeed! Being enmeshed the Coils and Most Nefarious Designs of thy Infernal Master, thou hast Transgressed, Blasphemed and Presumed to block the True Word of God in Wikipedia! For such an Enormity of Mortal Sin there is not – and cannot be – any Forgiveness! Know, thou Wretch, thou Foul Fiend, thou Satanic Minion, that the True Word of God issues and emanates from The Most Holy Person Now Living, none less than The Most Holy Reverend Ebenezer Abel Lux, Consecrated Pastor and Prophetic Leader of the First Church of Jesus Christ Militant, to whom were vouchsafed Divine Visions and Angelic Visitations and who is Fated and Destined to Stand at the Right Hand of Christ in the Second Coming. Know, thou Wretch, that the Synod of The First Church of Jesus Christ Militant has duly resolved and commanded and commended that Wikipedia must be and shalt be Cleansed and Purified and be made a Ready and Fitting Vehicle for the True Word of God. Know, thou Wretch, that I, Thomas Lucas McGregor III, am a faithful, zealous, righteous and upright Christian soldier, a True, Faithful and Loyal Son and Knight of the Church, and that I most willingly and happily do the bidding of the Synod and of the Most Holy Reverend Lux – so help me God Almighty and the Risen Jesus Christ Militant. Thereupon I, Thomas Lucas McGregor III, Soldier of Christ, hereby challenge thou, Fould Fiend and Minion of Satan, to single combat! Yea, to to single combat! Choose your Arms and Come to Me on the Field of Tournament! You may prepare all thy Infernal Devices, you may beseech the aid of Succor of thy Foul Infernal Master – but it would avail thee Naught. For it is God Almighty who Guides my sword arm, and it Jesus’ Bright Sword of Justice which I Bear. To the Righteous shalt Victory go, yea indeed, most assuredly! I shalt meet thou on the Field of Testing and I shalt mete out to thee thy Just Deserts. Thy Earthly Husk shalt go to a miserable shameful burial in Unhallowed Ground, and thy Doomed Immortal Soul shalt go down to Total Perdition and a million million years of unceasing Hellish Torture – as thou so very richly Deserve. So be it, so be it, Amen in the Highest! So Hast God Ordained At The Very Creation Of The World, and So Verily Shalt It Be! Amen, Amen, Amen! A Wayfarer Bearing the Sword of Jesus (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Black List of Satanic Minions calling themselves “administrators” of Wikipedia – doomed, doomed, doomed, one and all, to Fall before the Bright Sword of Jesus Christ Militant and go down to Perdition and Eternal Hellish Torture:

This is amazing. Thank you. —Non-Dropframe _talk 01:29, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:James ville

Hi. Just a heads-up, that this other user account has apparently lifted your user page wholesale, including claims of identity, credentials, etc. I noticed because they did the same thing with my user page on Wikinews (so I'm guessing they aren't you, either). --Pi zero (talk) 13:52, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked the other account and posted a notice at Administrators' Noticeboard. Please respond on that posting. — Maile (talk) 14:13, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I noticed you sent a message

Hi, I noticed you sent me a message about an edit I apparently made to the page Gusev, in January 2017? That was really weird because that wasn't me who made that edit. :D But apparently I seem to share this person's IP address? Confused.

Patrick Little

hi, im not sur ehow to use this properly, but my edits were correct. there is a racist attack happening against Patrick Little, by Semites, and patrick IS A CIVILS RIGHT ADVOCATE, AND AN EX MARINE. that is neutral. what isnt neutral is his personal wiki page, being locked, with racial slurs against him and his current CALIFORNIA US SENATE CAMPAIGN. The page is also locked, until 10th June, 5 days after election day. how do you explain this? Whilst im not a lawyer, i think it would be interesting to see where this stands legally in an election campaign. I understand that wikipedia has demonstrated they have no issue with people racially profiling him, for the interests of foreign countries in the senate election, but your edits are insane. "white nationalist" is not what is on the election ballots. its CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCATE and EX MARINE. of course, using a propaganda hit piece in a ((JEWISH)) written article must surely be more credible then the election ballot itself. lolol wa sthe user who deleted patricks 18% polling data (2nd from feinstein at 1st place), from the wiki. but thats fine? are you joking? one could only assume that this would need to be taken higher up the wiki pyramid to someone who is generally neutral, and not shilling for feinstein. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.36.239 (talk) 21:55, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

86.164.36.239, your message to me is basically "IT'S THE JEWS!" Personally, I find that sort of bigotry disgusting. However, if you want input, I would suggest contributing to the talk pages for the articles in question in order to make your concerns known. I deal with individual edits. I am therefore neither aware of nor concerned with all of the issues you have had with associated articles. —Non-Dropframe _talk 22:21, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removing my edit

Thiccenzie is an actual nick name for her so why did you remove my edit? Would appreciate it if you could get back to me. Therealsadcat (talk) 17:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Therealsadcat. As I'm sure you can appreciate, this nickname certainly sounds like an insult. Please add a reference in order to add the nickname. Thanks! —Non-Dropframe _talk 17:43, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The nickname is insulting but that doesn't stop it from being a nick name - look at the strangle squad post on Instagram for a "reference." You'll find many people in the comments using the nick name as well as the poster themselves.

Thank you, enjoy your day. Therealsadcat (talk) 11:01, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship by Google editing

You recently deleted an edit I made to the article Censorship by Google due to a current lack of a source. My information is accurate for my edit, but I am not certain how to cite it yet. I am new to Wikipedia and do not know the proper citing method currently. The source is an email form Dennis Prager's foundation, PragerU. Uraniumharvest (talk) 06:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ARBITRATION REPORT

Russian Agents Editing at American Politics?

By Lionelt

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.

Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)

IN THE MEDIA

Breitbart Versus Wikipedia

By Lionelt

Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

DISCUSSION REPORT

WikiProject Conservatism Comes Under Fire

By Lionelt

WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.

At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."

Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

RECENT RESEARCH

Research About AN/I

By Lionelt

Reprinted in part from the April 26, 2018 issue of The Signpost; written by Zarasophos

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:

53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
"Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
"Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."

In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation

Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.
