Removal of "where it is formally banned"
[edit]Hi there. Just querying your removal of "where it is formally banned" here. That appears to be supported by the source. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you look at the edit history I stuffed up my first attempt at restoring the material that Jamie had removed in the university section. I didn't intend on reverting all of their edits, just the first two out of three, as I was assuming good faith when they wrote "unsourced commentary" in their edit summary at Special:Diff/1254498510. As I did end up reverting everything I reinstated their third edit. I hope that all makes sense. As it turns out that the material is sourced, so I will self-revert now.

Checking in
[edit]Hey, I wanted offer another apology now that the election results are out. I appreciated your courteousness and frankness in your comments to my election page. If you ever see me do something like that again, please tell me or notify someone else as soon as possible so that they can take action. I'm very sorry for any distress I caused. Keep up the hard work. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti, thank you for reaching out and once again thankyou for your candid response. I also would like to apologise if you felt aggrieved at my comments elsewhere. You weren't the subject of my comments but I could understand how you would feel aggrieved nonetheless as the person I was responding to had made you the subject of their comments.
- I looked up the election results and I see you just missed out. I hope you get through next time you nominate. TarnishedPathtalk 03:20, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- No need to apologize for anything at all on your end. Your well-wishes are appreciated. I don't know if I want to go through RfA anytime soon and I look forward to aiming for a five FA year in 2025 (alongside offline life). ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:32, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Imane Khelif Lawsuit
[edit]“Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.”
I believe you are the moderator of the Imane Khelif talk page. I request it be opened back up for discussion of the reliable sources that have published news about her new lawsuit. LockheedChomsky (talk) 02:36, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @LockheedChomsky, I'm not a moderator. The administrator who protected the article's talk page at Special:Diff/1255516068 is @El C. You'd need to direct your queries to them. TarnishedPathtalk 06:07, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
Arbitration case request declined
[edit]Hi TarnishedPath. The Wikipediocracy-related conduct case request has been declined. While the arbitrators were closely divided, there was not an absolute majority to accept the case. For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Feedback request: Candidates of the next Australian federal election
[edit]This page Candidates of the next Australian federal election is being subject to Inclusionism again IMHO. I removed the joint entry of Bradlow & Bock as Vic Senate Candidates but it was restored. As only a single person can add their name to the nomination form, this team will never become candidates. Added a note to Talk:Candidates of the next Australian federal election. Teraplane (talk) 02:32, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Thomas Sewell (neo-Nazi)
[edit]The article Thomas Sewell (neo-Nazi) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Thomas Sewell (neo-Nazi) for comments about the article, and Talk:Thomas Sewell (neo-Nazi)/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Unattributed quotation
[edit]Heya! Thanks for starting the new move request over at Talk:Great Replacement. I'm very happy to support. Looking over the previous move request which I started back in 2022 though, I noticed that my comment looked a lot like yours.
Here's what I wrote:
The title was changed from The Great Replacement conspiracy theory to Great Replacement as the result of an RfC just over 3 years ago. In that RfC, it seems that the primary argument against using "conspiracy theory" in the article title was WP:COMMONNAME. Since that time, however, it seems that a preponderance of reliable sources have shifted their usage, and that "Great Replacement conspiracy theory" or some very close approximation is now the norm. Some examples:
And here's you:
The title was changed from The Great Replacement conspiracy theory to Great Replacement as the result of an RM about 5 years ago. In that RM, the primary argument against using "conspiracy theory" in the article title was WP:COMMONNAME. Since then, it seems that reliable sources have shifted usage, and that "Great Replacement conspiracy theory" or similar is now the norm. Some examples:
I would argue that this level of copy/pasting from another user's comment is inappropriate, and might even trigger suspicions of socking. Again, I appreciate you opening up the new move request, but please be more careful about this kind of thing in the future. Cheers, Generalrelative (talk) 16:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Generalrelative, apologies I should have put an attribution in the edit summary at the very least. TarnishedPathtalk 01:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ps, I didn't consider suspicions of socking. It should have occurred to me, but it didn't. TarnishedPathtalk 01:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, much appreciated! Generalrelative (talk) 19:14, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

I reverted you...
[edit]...at Imane Khelif and left an edit summary. In it, I was referring to this. This seems to show the current rag sheet publication is not itself notable in a way that can be reliably sourced. Thanks for all the work you've put into this article. I hope it simmers down soon. JFHJr (㊟) 03:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- @JFHJr thanks for the correction. I keep seeing posts in my feed on FB regarding Khelif that are straight up fake news (stuff stating that she has to hand back her Olympic medals because the IBA has disqualified her, which is straight up idiotic because the IBA don't have that power) and that appear to be generated from troll farm/s, so while I share your hope, I'm pessimistic. Once certain groupings decide something is going to be part of the broader culture war, they generally keep at it. TarnishedPathtalk 03:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- and that's really a shame because I was thinking about possible nominating the article for WP:GA but that's not really possible while all this disruption is happening. TarnishedPathtalk 03:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Give it time. We've no deadlines. It's never too late to GA, and this woman's encyclopedic story will keep developing. Sorry you even look at the 💩 feeds (pronounce that how you want). I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to ping me re this article if it appears I'm not already looking. JFHJr (㊟) 03:55, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
