Request for comment

Hi there, recently you edited the page La Luz del Mundo, which at the time has only 3 editors working on it. We have been trying to make the page as neutral as possible but have gotten into certain disputes. One of the editors accuses two of us of trying to make the page a publicity page for the church, which is false. Anyway, this editor reverts most edits to the Controversy section (which I recently changed to Criticism according to WP:CRIT). Two of us believe that a source (The Revista Academica) is not reliable, but the other editor insists that is. Please have a look at the talk page Talk:La_Luz_del_Mundo, particularly this section Talk:La_Luz_del_Mundo#RfC:_Is_Revista_Academica_a_reliable_source.3F and give us your input. Thank you. Ajaxfiore (talk) 21:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what to do

Hi, Another editor has begun to edit La Luz del Mundo article. He came on the talk page as a 3O editor and oddly requested opinions from all three current editors of that page. After receiving only two, he oddly accused the only editor that has edited multiple articles, Ajaxfiore, of having a single purpose account based on my comment that RidjalA and I mainly edit the LLDM article...which is really strange since that would make me and RidjalA the real WP:SPA's (Note:I have been attempting to spread out to other articles). This is his comment on the talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:La_Luz_del_Mundo&diff=522433367&oldid=522431560 before he proceeded to section blank the following:

1. Half the Controversy and Critism section
2. The architecture section
3. The discrimination section
4. The history section
5. removed sourced material from the Belief and Practices section
6. removed most of the section lead
7. Changed the infobox by removing sourced information

I honestly do not know what to do. RidjalA isn't responding and Ajaxfiore mentioned that he "quite" the article. You were the first thing that came to mind after I alerted RidjalA of what happened (on his talk page). What should I do? What can be done? How can I get RidjalA and Ajaxfiore to return to the article to edit it? Fordx12 (talk) 01:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

RidjalA responded to me here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RidjalA&diff=522571033&oldid=522568288 Apparently he threatened to ban me and says that the 3O editor is an admin and PhD dissertations are not viable wiki sources...one of this makes sense...I really need someone to help me out here. I contacted you because you edited in the article's talkpage. Fordx12 (talk) 02:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Is User:RobertRosen your 3O editor? He is not an admin.
• WP:Identifying reliable sources says of PhD dissertations: "Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a PhD, and which are publicly available, are considered publications by scholars and are routinely cited in footnotes. They have been vetted by the scholarly community; most are available via interlibrary loan. Dissertations in progress have not been vetted and are not regarded as published and are thus not reliable sources as a rule. Masters dissertations and theses are only considered reliable if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence."
• It looks like dispute resolution has been initiated. There are editors there who can help the involved parties come to an agreement. A word of advice: the goal there is to resolve the content issues, not hash out interpersonal disputes, so try not to get dragged into accusations and counter-accusations.TheBlueCanoe 12:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

You know this guy?

Hi Blue Canoe. Today several edits appeared on my watchlist by a new editor, User:Lostromantic. When I checked his contribution log, I found a couple things that gave me pause. First, he's almost exclusively editing articles I created. And secondly, one of his very first edits after creating an account was to leave you an apparently unprovoked, abusive talk page comment. Just wondering if you know anything about this. I've had the experience of being wikihounded before, and I don't take kindly to it—especially from people with an apparent predilection for userspace harassment. Homunculus (duihua) 01:24, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry too much about it. My guess is that the talk page thing was in response to this edit, where I restored some information that an IP address (possibly the same guy) had deleted. If you want to edit on contentious topics you just need to be prepared to deal with the consequences. I'm fine with that. But I understand you don't like being stalked. Let me know if he gives you more trouble, eh? TheBlueCanoe 03:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Yay! Are you wanting to hold the Yu Zhou DYK for a certain date? Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:29, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Yup. I'm starting realize how convoluted disputes can get. Anyway, I think all the real disagreements on the content issues have been sorted, and I don't think there's a single thing that a neutral observer could possibly have a problem with in that article at this point. The DYK is probably good to go whenever it's approved. It could be nice to hold it to the anniversary on February 6th, but I don't know how to request that, and I'm not very picky. You seem like a regular at DYK, so you probably know better than me what we should do.

about Falun Gong's page

Hello

I'm not sure it's the best way to contact you,nor if I'ù talking to the right person, cos I'm a beginner on wikipedia. I'm french and actually try to edit some content on the Falun Gong's page. I found the english page very interesting, so I directly translate part of this page to the French Falun Gong's page. Some wikipedia editors are... kind of angry, talks about controversial point of view, and so on? I don't know what to answer, for I think the research made by people on the english page are quite serious and I agree on them. But these french editors points out that some controversial are still existing on the english page, I don't really see what they are talk about. These are the same editors that spread rumours coming from the CCP, I don't know what to answer. They don't even talk about the content or try to reformulate, they are just kind of angry and always blame on cotroversial, or "unappropriate form to encyclopedia". As I'm almost blocked on wikipedia, I'd like to have the point of view of english writter on Falun Gong page, and about the controversial than existing on the english version. Do you know someone that can help me?

Thanks.

Davives

The content we have on the English side seems to be much richer than what's available in French, so you're probably making some good contributions if you can translate some material.

I haven't found the Falun Gong pages to be too controversial, actually. Most of the regulars on the pages are pretty cool, even if I don't always agree with them, and for the most part the Falun Gong articles are well written. It hasn't always been that way, and I think there used to be more of the problems you're describing, but this is just my experience.

If you find certain people are acting in a counterproductive or obstructionist way, or even if you're just having a hard time finding common ground with other well-meaning editors, try getting input from experienced editors to help sort it out. You could also initiate a dispute resolution resolution process to sort out the particulars of the content disagreements (here we have a dispute resolution noticeboard, as well as several more specific noticeboards like WP:POVN, WP:RSN, etc. Not sure what you have on French Wikipedia). In the mean time, keep a cool head, be patient, and read up on both the content and conduct rules, including WP:NPA, WP:3RR, and WP:NPOV. TheBlueCanoe 05:09, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

STOP your harassment and intimidation

I'm asking you to stop your harassment and intimidation on my user page regarding Falun Gong articles. If you have any issues on the content just use the article's Talk page, you're not welcome to write on my user page. STSC (talk) 22:58, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Asking you to focus on content, rather than conduct, is not harassment. Neither is pointing out that you had engaged in a pattern of problematic editing across multiple pages, and giving you the opportunity to remedy it yourself. If the problem with your caption changes were confined to a single article, I would have brought it up on the corresponding talk page. Anyway, you've been reminded of the applicability of discretionary sanctions to these pages.TheBlueCanoe 01:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I would also remind you the discretionary sanction. I can see your real motive is to intimidate other editors who try to input more balanced content in Falun Gong related articles. You don't own the articles, you don't give me "opportunity to remedy", what a nonsense. STSC (talk) 01:16, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

I'll take a look. TheBlueCanoe 17:47, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Your AE report

I suggest you strike this and explain why because STSC's edit is consistent with the cited sources.

• [2] – claiming that something attributed to a third party is actually just from “Falun Gong sources”

The cited sources.

• Falun Gong sources estimate that tens of millions continue to practice privately.[3]
• Lawyers representing imprisoned Falun Gong members said...[4]

Sean.hoyland - talk 17:19, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Also, you should strike this and explain why because, again, STSC's edit is consistent with the cited source.

• [5] - Torture deaths as reported by the New York Times are merely “alleged”
• that human rights groups say has led to the imprisonment of tens of thousands of practitioners and claimed at least 2,000 lives [6]

What else did you get wrong? Sean.hoyland - talk 17:26, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

• Chinese human rights lawyers who have represented Falun Gong defendants are not "Falun Gong sources".
• Except in certain cases (e.g. when an individual is accused of a crime and a trial is pending, for instance), Wikipedia's manual of style recommends against using expressions of doubt such as "alleged", which is precisely what STSC has repeatedly done. (see WP:ALLEGED). TheBlueCanoe 18:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

If you provide weak evidence in an AE report, any experienced editor/admin can rip it to bits and you can end up looking like the POV pusher. STSC changed the statement to exactly match the State Dept report cited. If you don't acknowledge that and someone points it out, what does that say about you and the quality of your evidence? Maybe lawyers representing Falun Gong defendants are not "Falun Gong sources" but they are not independent third party sources and pretending they are will not look good. And WP:ALLEGED obviously doesn't mean it's okay to remove the attribution that was in the New York Times (that the 'alleged' represents) and turn the statement into an undisputed, unattributed statement of fact in the neutral narrative voice of one of the top sites on the internet with a mandatory WP:NPOV policy, in the lead no less. This isn't an effective way of dealing with biased editors in my opinion. Sean.hoyland - talk 18:47, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Also, consider the options available to counter evidence presented about the image caption changes. The Amnesty source cited (in German) does not say Gao Rongrong was tortured to death, it says they died in custody. So the caption was apparently inconsistent with the source cited. And while a German speaker might pick 'was reported' or 'reportedly' I guess, perhaps a non-German speaker might rely on google translate which uses 'allegedly', the word STSC used. So there is a non-English source ambiguity defense against the evidence. And again, the evidence can be used to make you look like the non-neutral editor. Sean.hoyland - talk 19:07, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

I appreciate your thoughts. Interestingly, when pressed on his claim that the number came from "Falun Gong sources," STSC didn't point to the state department report, but rather to the Telegraph article. Either way it's clear that the estimate is supported by more than just Falun Gong sources (though personally I think the number seems too high). On the NYTimes question, the ideal scenario might be to have the article read "As of 2009, human rights groups estimated that at least 2,000 have died..." That is the more neutral way to attribute the claim. But simply stating that something is "alleged" is not particularly helpful, and here the intended effect is to express doubt about the credibility of the claims. On Gao Rongrong, the sources I find do use "reportedly" (e.g. "Officials had reportedly beaten her in 2004, including by using electro-shock batons on her face and neck"), but they clearly state that she died in custody—so why would STSC remove this? And why use misleading edit summaries? And if, indeed, the editor is simply trying to maintain a NPOV, why is there no evidence of this level of prudence and attention to detail being exercised in the opposite direction?

Anyway, you may be right—maybe I could have found better diffs to illustrate the case, but we'll see what happens.TheBlueCanoe 19:17, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

stop editing my work out.

When I wrote why should "mere mentions of Li 1999 times interview" be omitted from Wikipedia.

I was being specific. By editing it out and changing it, people would think I'm talking about something different.

Can you at least tell me why among other eduts, you removed it?

I did not take this to the dispute department yet only because I feel it would be better if you and I were to discuss the reasons why. If we can't then I'll take it to official disputes.

Discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in pseudoscience and fringe science. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Also, a reminder that there's similar measures in place for articles relating to Falun Gong. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:49, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Falun Gong, you may be blocked from editing. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:08, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

You know that placing frivolous warnings on user pages is also considered a form of harassment, right? That you don't like an edit does not make it disruptive. TheBlueCanoe 22:10, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

That you keep "accidentally" removing info that FLG doesn't like is disruptive. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:26, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

What exactly are you implying? I suggest you spell it out. Do you have more than a single data point to establish this pattern? TheBlueCanoe 23:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

There's a reason editors keep referring to edits like this and this with terms like "scrubbing" and "censorship."

If they are good-faith mistakes and not attempts to go against sources and consensus, then slow down and start making smaller edits so you don't keep "accidentally" removing information that FLG doesn't like. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:21, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

I disagree with your assessment that the above diffs defied consensus or were otherwise unjustified. As to whether Falun Gong "likes" or "doesn't like" something, I am agnostic. I care that Wikipedia articles need to follow content policies like WP:NPOV.TheBlueCanoe 12:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Continued disruption of the FG space

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Falun Gong. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 15:53, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

And you may be reported for userspace harassment.TheBlueCanoe 15:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Stop disruption the goddamn FG space and you won’t get templates on your talk, you seem not to be able to take a hint even when an admin explains exactly what about your edits are disruptive as above. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:02, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Editing a page so that its content conforms to content policies, and providing detailed explanations of those edits on the corresponding talk page, is not disruptive.

But following editors around the encyclopedia to disrupt their work, engaging in userspace harassment, and edit warring while refusing to engage in talk page discussions, are all examples of disruptive conduct.TheBlueCanoe 16:06, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Ian.thomson has already explained to you why your edits are seen as disruptive and advised you to change up your editing style, you did not. Per WP:ASPERSIONS lets see diffs for each of the aspersions you just cast, some of those are serious accusations of misconduct. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:13, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, they are serious accusations. I agree. The kind of offences that should get an editor topic-banned. TheBlueCanoe 17:21, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Now that you’ve doubled down would you mind providing diffs or retracting the aspersions? Horse Eye Jack (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

I will absolutely compile diffs. It's a pretty long list. TheBlueCanoe 17:40, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

It should be, you made a lot of accusations. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:11, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

If you don't intent to support your accusations after they’ve been questioned you need to retract them, now. I’ve given you more than enough time. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:41, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry. I'm compiling diffs, and you'll have an opportunity to answer for them. But this isn't complicated. Your last revert on Falun Gong was an instance of edit warring, wherein you did not discuss the merits of the changes. Nearly all your reverts on that page fit the same pattern. Your actions on this page is an example of userspace harassment. Following me to Why Liberalism Failed and The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties is an example of hounding.TheBlueCanoe 22:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

So instead of justifying/supporting your previous allegations you’re going to make more? Seriously? Horse Eye Jack (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Yo TheBlueCanoe, you still need to provide diffs. It will be ten days tomorrow. Failure to satisfy WP:ASPERSIONS will lead me to escalate this to a noticeboard. By the way when WP:ASPERSIONS is invoked compiling those diffs needs to be your first priority, you seem to have engaged in multiple edits since so I would like to know your excuse for the delay. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 16:21, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

you may not make any reverts, subject to the usual exceptions, on Falun Gong

You have been sanctioned for edit warring on Falun Gong.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Falun Gong#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Guerillero | Parlez Moi 20:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. :bloodofox: (talk) 05:28, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Good Work

We have come to a time and place where the truth has become more costly than ever.

I have paid careful attention to your contributions for some time. No one dares to say it but I will. You have done amazing work and I respect you for your perseverance. I don't know who you are, what you do or what it is that drives you to do what you are doing. But keep it up. There are people who are watching. HollerithPunchCard (talk) 04:59, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

That's kind of you. I'm on vacation for a couple more days, but when reunited with books and stable wifi I may start bringing forward some more editing proposals.TheBlueCanoe 01:22, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
