Hi, I'm Steve.
Steve – The editor Robvp11 of Wiki page John Hampden is known to me and he knows my identity. We have known each other for over 30 years but 10 years ago we fell out for what reason is known only to Robvp11. We have met and had drinks together many times since over the years. Robvp11 has in depth knowledge regarding John Hampden’s life. Was it jealousy that caused the upset, who knows, but ‘John Chalgrove’ become ‘the’ authority on the battle of Chalgrove? On 19 April 2019 Robvp11 removed four years of detailed contributions input by Johnhampdensegiment, my then username, from the Battle of Chalgrove Field webpage. My complaint to Wiki that years of work had be removed resulted in my editing rights being taken away. My polite argument to the administrators resulted in confrontation at every turn. It is my suspicion that Robvp11 has friends in high places on Wiki’s team that will do his bidding regardless.
My fully referenced input on the John Hampden page ‘Nugent’s Fabricated Account of Hampden – Uncovered’ confirmed my academic argument. This brief piece is of global importance to the history of the English Civil War and Robvp11 will lose face among his peers if my contribution gets on the John Hampden page. Going through the usual channels of dispute is not an option Robvp11 has too much to lose and the power to censor my work through Wikipedia' adminstrators.
Academia will be the poorer if Robvp11 is allowed to corrupt Wikipedia’s good name. Can you resolve this issue? ([[User:John Chalgrove|John Chalgrove]] ([[User talk:John Chalgrove|talk]]) 18:49, 21 March 2021 (UTC))


For over a decade, I've been active on and off on Wikipedia, involved in improving Wikipedia's [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] processes and helping other editors resolve their disputes. I created the [[WP:DRN|dispute resolution noticeboard]], served as a mediator for the [[WP:MEDCAB|Mediation Cabal]], worked on various articles and performed maintenance activities including closing discussions, and general cleanup. I also served on the committee of Wikimedia Australia for several years.
== Welcome back ==


I no longer have the time to contribute here anymore, and while few will notice or maybe even remember me (as I'm a relic now), to those that I did work with over the many years (and you know who you are), I will miss you.

== WLC Dispute Resolution ==


== A barnstar for you! ==
After reading all the threads, what's your impression that re-opening the dispute resolution about [[William Lane Craig]] will not result in another failed case? It seems there are some very fundamental disagreements about the article, and I have my doubts if a collaborative, voluntary process will make any progress towards resolving them, given the past behavior. The current version of the article reflects one disputant's [[WP:BOLD]] edits that did ''not'' achieve consensus (hence the dispute). Do you plan on focusing on the fundamental issues (e.g. does [[WP:FRINGE]] apply, should the article have been [[WP:TNT]]'d like it was, should it have been incrementally improved from something closer to the pre-dispute baseline, etc.)? If there's little progress resolving them will the case be failed quickly or be allowed to linger? - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 22:19, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
:Speaking briefly, my style of dispute resolution varies based on the dispute at hand - sometimes it will indeed be a collaborative discussion based approach and other times I will guide the involved editors based on policies that are applicable to the article in question. I’ve not made a determination either way at this stage, as I first need a commitment from those involved to participate in the dispute resolution process. But it won’t linger idle but will be be actively managed. That won’t mean it will necessarily be a fast resolution, but I’ve been doing this on and off for ten years, so I know my stuff. Would appreciate I feel you agree to be involved at the DRN page and I’ll take things from there. Cheers. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 10:16, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
::I guess my concern is that the fundamental disagreements won't be addressed directly, and the dispute will drag on arguing about one sentence or another or some small improvement proposal (and given the recent drastic changes, there's too much to discuss like that). There seem to have been some longstanding issues at play here that are outside the scope of [[WP:DRN]], which have made this all pretty stressful. If we can get to the core disagreements, then I'm tentatively willing to participate. - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 15:12, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
:::Issues will be worked through methodically. I’m not a moderator, but a mediator, and I’ve handled tougher disputes than this before. At a glance, I see fundamental issues with how the article in general that should be addressed, and they will be. Have some faith, I’ve broken the back of other cases before, including many religious articles, I don’t see why that isn’t possible here. (Can you note your agreement at DRN please). <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 15:20, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
:::: Hi Steve. I edited the article/talk page without knowing there was a reopened DRN process. I've backed out of the editing process out of respect for the DR process. Anything else I should do? Also, I wasn't one of the original people involved in the DRN, but I would like to take part in working on the content in the article. Can I join the DRN process? Thanks. [[User:Approaching|—Approaching]] ([[User talk:Approaching|talk]]) 21:34, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::Hi there, yes you definitely can join in - the active question at the DRN is regarding the infobox content. There aren't any hard and fast rules in place at the DRN thread (it's not my style) but try to be succinct and obviously be kind to each other. I've already determined the best starting point for the article rewrite based on my reading of consensus and weighing policies and guidelines, so out of respect for that and [[m:WRONG|the wrong version]], I will undo your edit to the article to keep the peace. Nothing personal - I just discourage any non-controversial edits (vandalism removal, typos) while dispute resolution is active. Cheers. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 21:46, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::Understood. Thanks. [[User:Approaching|—Approaching]] ([[User talk:Approaching|talk]]) 21:48, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

The dispute may be in need of some mediation right now. Some of the fundamental disagreements have reared their heads, among other things that may need some attention. - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 20:05, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
:Thanks for the note - alternate time zones making it a bit challenging but I’ll take a look. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 22:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

I have some questions about your proposal for private mediation: 1) Based on your experience with this dispute so far, how long do you think this will drag on? 2) Will there be similar rules against editing the article as we have now? 3) How will a mediation failure be determined and communicated? 4) As we work through the sections one by one, will you update the article with the drafts that have the most support, even if we have to return to that section later? Especially if this is to be a long process, I'd like to see the actual article move towards a consensus rather than staying at a non-consensus WP:BOLD version for months. 5) What kind of visibility will the dispute have while the mediation is proceeding if it is private? - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 20:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]]. Briefly -
# Hard to say. Things are moving a little slower than I'd have liked so far given the item under discussion is an introductory item (bio section). I've mediated disputes that take quite some time - it all depends on how often users participate. I used to do online (Skype or [[IRC]]) based mediation - much faster. Unlikely to be an option here.
# Similar rules regarding article editing will apply.
# If mediation fails, it will be because a deadlock can't be broken. Unusually rare. If discussion fades out, things can be picked up down the track if need be. I'm not going anywhere.
# Yes, normally once consensus is formed, I've historically made the update myself based on consensus
# Private mediation just means it's hosted in my user space rather than at DRN. As I mentioned elsewhere, other informal mediation venues have been made historical, and DRN isn't suitable for longer discussion, hence my suggestion. Hope this clarifies for you. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 14:19, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

::* Can you give me a picture of what consensus and what a deadlock would look like? Would we note the private mediation on the DRN thread and article talk page? - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 14:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
:::Not really, as they're something determined by me. I can show you an example of a consensus, deadlock is something I know when I see it. [[User_talk:Steven_Crossin/Mediation/Archives/Prem_Rawat#Proposal_1]] is part of an example of a dispute discussion that ended well - that discussion for that content took 3 weeks. [[Talk:Second_Intifada/Archive_6#Mediation-Deadlocked]] was a discussion that I ended after a month as deadlocked. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 14:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

:::* Ok, I'll take a look at those. I'm just concerned that the whole thing might end up being an extremely draining waste of time. I also think we're going to need pretty active hands-on mediation for some of the upcoming sections. - [[User:GretLomborg|GretLomborg]] ([[User talk:GretLomborg|talk]]) 15:40, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
::::Draining, possibly. Waste of time, that depends on all of you. Mediating disputes needs compromise by all. If we don't have that, then mediation often ends deadlocked. I've mediated tougher disputes than this in my eleven years on Wikipedia, and ones that I saw go on for some time. I'm not worried. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 15:53, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

* FYI: You can access the full bibliography of the encyclopedia entry by going to [https://books.google.com/books?id=XjM0CwAAQBAJ&pg=PA211&dq=%22The+Bloomsbury+Encyclopedia+of+Philosophers+in+America%22+%22William+Lane+Craig%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU5sqItrLjAhWDB80KHW-zBbAQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=William%20Lane%20Craig&f=false this link] and clicking page 213. I've posted methods to access it to the DRN thread a couple times, but I get the impression that you didn't notice them. Also, to correct a couple of things:
:* You stated [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:William_Lane_Craig/Mediation&diff=908028961&oldid=908010537 here] "{{tq|Since it has been stated that the secondary sources referenced in the entry do not contain the information in the entry...}}": I don't think this is correct:
::# The entry's bibliography doesn't really list any traditional secondary sources. It lists Craig's works and a few direct responses to him.
::# I think you may be misremembering my comment [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ADispute_resolution_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=906826933 here] or Approaching's comment [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ADispute_resolution_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=906633959 here]. I think the accurate statement is that we ''don't know'' if the works in the bibliography contain the article's biographical facts. It cites a lot of books, some may contain autobiographical sections, but it looks like a lot of material and I don't have access to any of it to check. The book also lists a significant number of general references at the front.

== July 2019 ==

Hello Steven, I'm [[User:Canopus27|Canopus27]]. Apologies if this is not how to "talk" on wikipedia, I've edited many articles but talking this way is new to me.

You just reverted one of my updates &nbsp;—specifically <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WeatherTech%20Raceway%20Laguna%20Seca&diff=904782236 this edit]</span> to [[:WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca]]— with the observation that "it did not appear constructive."

I actually submitted two updates in a row - one was to an update to the track record, a new record that was set this past weekend - and the second update was to correct an error I had made in the first update (I mis-read the drivers name). I think you perhaps just looked at the second update, perhaps didn't understand the context, and then reverted both updates. I'm always happy to see others improve my edits, but they were neither factually wrong nor were they "experiments". The current article is wrong, as it relates to the (newly broken) electric vehicle track record. Please review my changes again, and then undo your reversion. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Canopus27|Canopus27]] ([[User talk:Canopus27#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Canopus27|contribs]]) 15:03, 4 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Hi there, and thanks for your message. Yep, leaving a message on my talk page is the best way to get in touch with people here! You are correct - I did only see the second edit and not the first one - I was using a tool and I only saw the change in driver name. I have happily undone my revert - sorry for the misunderstanding!

Thanks for your help on my DRN requestion on [[Operation Mockingbird ]]. Sorry to say I have another issue which I am thinking of taking to DRN. If you have time, I wonder if you could look at the [[talk:Allegations of CIA drug trafficking#Michael Ruppert in the lead|talk page for Allegations of CIA drug trafficking]] beforehand and let me know if DRN would be appropriate at this point, or whether there is another, better process. [[User:Rgr09|Rgr09]] ([[User talk:Rgr09|talk]]) 20:44, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:Hi there. An RFC might be a good process to use for this discussion, which I can see you have started one. I would suggest you try and write a clearer, more neutral overview about what the dispute is and the sources in question and uninvolved editors will in due course pop in and give their thoughts. Hope this helps. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330;">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#2875B0;">Crossin</span>]]</span> 20:48, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks, I will continue with that. In addition, 82.27.90.157, the anonymous ip-editor who has continued adding the source which is the subject of the RFC writes on the talk page:
:::Wikipedia is crawling with operatives from various intelligence agencies. The international narcotics trade has long been controlled by NATO member state intelligence agencies (both civilian and military) and there are many paid operatives whose role is to monitor wikipedia to prevent that truth from becoming apparent to the general public who would rightly be appalled if they knew how their tax dollars are being spent. As I say Ruppert is a New York Times best-selling author widely respected in many quarters. I can only assume that you are working for those people seeking to keep the truth from the general public.
::I don't see how this is compatible with [[WP:AGF]]. If it's not, should I post about this on the DRN again?

== Hey Steve ==

Great to see you still around. I've actually done more in the last month or so than probably the last year. The main reason for that being the WMF/T&S/Fram mess. It's certainly shaken things up around here it seems. So glad you dropped in, reminds me of some good memories of days gone by. :-) I hope you and yours are well.

Best Always,

== Event coordinator granted ==

[[File:Wikipedia Event coordinator.svg|right|130px]]
After reviewing your request for the [[Wikipedia:Event coordinator|"<samp>eventcoordinator</samp>" permission]], I have&#32;temporarily enabled the flag on your account&#32;until 07:47, 23 July 2019 (UTC). Keep in mind these things:
*The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
*The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "[[Wikipedia:Confirmed users|<samp>confirmed</samp>]]" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
*The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
*Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right.

== [[William Lane Craig]] ==

I will just point out that, although you chose to close the discussion at DRN in order to conduct extended off-line mediation, I concluded an extended mediation case that was open at DRN for about five months. Perhaps that is a distinction without a difference, because I created a separate page for the multiple exchanges, but left it open at DRN. It was yet another dispute involving regions in India, which is therefore a nationalistic case, since India is a nation of nations. It was an exception to the rule that we normally don't do well with entrenched disputes. The fact that DRN cases get archived after two weeks is a trivial issue because anyone can tweak the archival date. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 00:58, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

== Why bother ==

Virtue signaling IP users and “editors” who have been here 8 months may offer up “archives” that show 5 pages of a magazine to save face but the reality is '''no one''' is ever going to fix those derelict, atrocious articles. [[Epizeuxis|Ever]]. No idiot with more than 2 working brain cells would ever try to use AfD “as cleanup” (knowing no one would even bother picking up a broom) and anyone who sees it that way is blithely ignorant. Oh well, the encyclopedia can continue being garbage and unreliable. It’s not like we have standards. [[User:Trillfendi|Trillfendi]] ([[User talk:Trillfendi|talk]]) 04:17, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
:Sorry for my delayed reply. I stand by my close of the discussion - it may be true that they may not be cleaned up, but again per my closing rationale, that is not the purpose of an AFD discussion.

::Okay. Just so we're clear, though, I was trying to make a point and wasn't trying to just rile up others.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic '''300''' as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

;Coordinator
A proposal is taking place [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Coordinator|'''here''']] to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

;This month's refresher course
''[[Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters|Why I Hate Speedy Deleters]]'', a 2008 essay by long since retired {{U|Ballonman}}, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

;Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

;Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator <u>if appropriate</u>, and submit the issue to [[WP:COIN]] if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

;Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
*Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for [[WP:ORG|organisations and companies]].
*''Blank-and-Redirect'' is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

;Not English
*A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with [[WP:NPPNE]]. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
;Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See [[User:SD0001/StubSorter.js]], It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at [[User:Evad37/rater]] makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

{{noping|DannyS712 bot III}} is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=patrol&user=DannyS712+bot+III&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= patrol log].

==Requesting help re: an RfC close==
Hi, Steven. I have a question solely about the wording of the RfC close at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Citation_Style_1/Archive_59#Italics_of_websites_in_citations_and_references_%E2%80%93_request_for_comment this Help page for the citation template]. Per [[Wikipedia:Closing discussions]] protocol, the first step is to discuss it with the closer. I hope you don't mind. I'm not disputing the close itself, just the wording of the close.

The RfC was about a single footnoting template, Citation Style 1's "cite web." Yet the wording of the close says "names of websites in citations/references should be italicized," without making clear that this consensus is only for the use of this template.

From what I understand, we're not required to use this template — [[Help:Citation Style 1]] even says, "The use of CS1 or of templates is not compulsory; per WP:CITESTYLE: Wikipedia does not have a single house style." Yet because the wording of the close may be overly broad, I'm hearing editors mistakenly say it now ''is'' compulsory and official house style.

I'm wondering if the wording of the close could be adjusted to address this point — that it is only about this particular citation template, and that the close is not mandating a single house style that must be used in all footnoting across Wikipedia.--[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 08:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

:{{ping|Tenebrae}}, thanks for your message. I’ve spent some time re-reading the RFC, and my close. The wording of the RFC itself was “Should the names of websites in citations and references always be italicized?”, and I also see that the RFC was widely advertised at other relevant citation pages, the MOS talk page etc. The wording of my close was based on the text of the RFC as proposed, however I take your points raised above and see others in the discussion opined about this being specific to citation style 1. Therefore, I am more than happy to clarify my RFC close to clearly defined the scope, and will do so now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. <span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 09:14, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

:::Perhaps your clarification should be reverted and, when real-life permits, re-clarified. The question posed by the RFC was not, as Editor [[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] incorrectly states, {{tq|about a single footnoting template, Citation Style 1's "cite web".}} The RFC question does not name any of the 23-ish cs1|2 templates, nor even name Citation Style 1 and / or Citation Style 2, yet your 'clarified' close says, in part, {{tq|this consensus [is] limited to this citation template only}} and {{tq|Other styles of citing sources that exist on Wikipedia are unaffected by this RFC...}} As far as I can tell, the question of the RFC was not constrained to cs1|2, nor was the question, as so often happens, modified ({{diff|Help_talk:Citation Style 1|897606539|897594958|the initial edits that posed the question}}).

:::I am not opposed to clarification, it can make my life easier, but clarifications made in haste, as it appears to be the case here, does no one any good.

{{od}} I see it both ways, honestly. The wording of the RFC question was rather broad and advertised widely to related pages. At the same time, where the RFC was held, along with my reading of some comments, favours a more narrow implementation of the consensus. I’m currently travelling; but the course of action I intend to take is to rewrite the RFC close, confirming there is indeed a consensus to italicise, but the scope of applying this consensus needs to be defined more clearly, and then I’ll hold a discussion solely on the scope of application for 30 days, and then close that discussion to answer the scope question, since it is honestly open to interpretation here, and if this is indeed to be a broad change, it would be best for it to be clearly defined to avoid discussions such as this in future. I won’t be able to get to it until at least tomorrow, however. <span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 23:41, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

:Apropos of this, I think it's important to note the RfC may have been decided in part based on an editor at 22:19, 18 May 2019 falsely claiming policy requires websites to be italicized. The editor alleged that [[MOS:ITALICWEBCITE]] says, "When any website is cited as a source, it is necessarily being treated as a publication, and in that context takes italics. Our citation templates do this automatically; do not abuse unrelated citation parameters, such as |publisher=, to evade italicization of online work titles in source citations."

:In fact, [[MOS:ITALICWEBCITE]] says not a word of this. It does say, "Options include either of Wikipedia's own template-based Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, ''and any other well-recognized citation system''." (Emphasis added. Also, speaking as a professional journalist/editor, I need to note that the word "other" in that sentence is grammatically and factually incorrect, since CS1 and CS2 are not themselves "well-recognized citation system[s].") --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 16:06, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
;Getting the queue to 0
There are now {{NUMBERINGROUP:patroller}} holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.<br>
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If ''each'' reviewer soon does '''only 2 reviews a day''' over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by ''every'' reviewer doing '''only 1 review every 2 days''' - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.<br>
Want to join? Consider adding the [[Template:User NPP Pledge|'''NPP Pledge userbox''']].<br>
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Awards|'''really cool awards''']].
; Coordinator
Admin {{U|Barkeep49}} has been officially invested as [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|NPP/NPR coordinator]] by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
;This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: [[WP:LTA/OM|This official Wikipedia article]] will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Conflict_of_Interest_(COI),_paid_editing|The Hallmarks]] to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
;Tools
*It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
*It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
;Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#New Reviewer Mentorship|New Reviewer mentorship]] will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#Peer review cohort|peer review cohort]] for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch ''November 13''.
;Second set of eyes
*Not only are ''New Page Reviewers'' the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the [[WP:NPP#Monitoring the system|'''Monitoring the system''']] section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing ''good'' work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
*Do be sure to have [[WT:NPR|'''our talk page ''']] on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
;Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
;Community Wish list
There is to be no [[:meta:wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020|wish list]] for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

===Coffee's recommendations===
While not unanimous, the '''clear consensus''' is as follows:

On the matter of italics in citations: '''Italics are to be used for all publication titles in citations''', regardless of the medium used for delivery (there is no journalistic/editorial difference between the electronic version and printed version of [[Barron's (newspaper)]], yet there are more current stories available through the electronic medium). As to whether certain websites are reliable to use as sources (such as whether Rotten Tomatoes follows "journalistic standards" or not), that is an entirely separate discussion. As of yet, websites that lack the journalistic standards of certain news outlets are still considered allowable as sources in certain circumstances. If editors believe they shouldn't be permitted as sources, then those editors need to take that up in a separate RFC directed specifically at WP:RS/WP:V.

On the matter of which title to use when referring to a publication on the internet: Website [[URL]]s are used for navigating to the publications and should not be italicized or used in place of the name of the actual content publisher: i.e. work=''CNN.com'' should not be used in place of work=''CNN''. While humans frequently use shortened website urls (like "Expedia dot com") as names to refer to publications on the internet, it is important to remember that website URLs are referring to how one navigates to the publication on the publisher's machine via a series of routers and DNS servers... essentially citing a website name is the same as citing the IP address... and in older terms that's a bit like writing out the address of the publisher's office every time the publisher's name is used. Not only is that time consuming, it is technically redundant... and as such doesn't play well with the current long standing ''de facto'' consensus that work and publisher names in a citation should not be used together when the information is redundant.

I further recommend that due to the discussion's visibility not being as high as some would have preferred, that it be closed ''without prejudice against new findings of consensus'' in a more widely distributed RFC. However, '''I would not restart the RFC''' as it was advertised at CENT for ''two whole months''. Drawing issue with the wording at CENT is not a good reason to restart a RFC that was advertised for ''twice as long as usual'' (and technically has ''allowed discussion since May'' until now), which is more than enough time for our community to have changed the wording. Overall I find Steve's original consensus determination to not be far off the mark, indeed the basic conclusion takes into account what our community consensus has been for a long time, it is just refined.

Lastly, I have no issue with you drawing from my wording here directly in your updated close, in fact you have my express permission to without attribution. I hope this close doesn't ruffle too many feathers, but I'm sure you've got the knack to handle it Steve. It's always a smart idea to rely on our peers when we need another set of eyes, and I appreciate you choosing to utilize mine. <small style="color:#999;white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:lightgrey 0.3em 0.3em 0.15em;">&mdash; [[User:Coffee|<big style="color:#ffa439">Coffee</big>]] // [[user talk:Coffee|<font color="#009900">have a</font> ☕️]] // [[Special:Contributions/Coffee|<font color="#4682b4">beans</font>]] // </small> 21:45, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

:Fantastic, thanks for giving your opinion Coffee. This is along the lines of my original close, so I'm glad that you've come to a similar conclusion. I also agree that an RFC shouldn't be re-started, it was well and truly advertised long and wide enough for people to give their opinion. I believe that without an overwhelming consensus to overturn the result of the RFC, the outcome is clear and should remain in place.

:::Also, I think one point may have inadvertently gotten glossed over. If we're italicizing TV networks now — CNN, ABC, BBC, Bravo — that's a major change in Wikipedia MOS and establishes a site-wide house style that's at odds with every other major footnote style.

== editToken ==

Hello Steven Crossin,

Your scripts [[User:Steven Crossin/testcode.js]] and [[User:Steven Crossin/DRW.js]] are no longer functional because they attempt to get an <code>editToken</code> from <code>mw.user.tokens</code>. The scripts should instead get a <code>csrfToken</code>. <code>editToken</code>s were removed from <code>mw.user.tokens</code> on October 3, 2019 at Phabricator during [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMWa0447d3a67b28ed13aa2d30c74e6f7f49df135d3 this edit] as they were redundant to <code>csrfToken</code>s.<span class="nowrap">– [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;">Brandon</span><span style="color:green;">XLF</span>]] ([[User talk:BrandonXLF|talk]])</span> 00:06, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

== Adoption Request ==

Hi Steven!

I saw you listed on the [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user|Adopt-a-User]] page and was wondering if you are still currently accepting adoptees? If so, I am interested in being adopted and would be interested in learning about next steps. [[User:Yerkes-Dodson|Yerkes-Dodson]] ([[User talk:Yerkes-Dodson|talk]]) 07:33, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

;Reviewer of the Year
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|right|200px]]
This year's Reviewer of the Year is {{noping|Rosguill}}. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to {{noping|Onel5969}} who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to {{noping| Boleyn}} and {{noping|JTtheOG}} who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with [[User:CAPTAIN MEDUSA|CAPTAIN MEDUSA]] and [[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

While there was no recent activity and the departure happened in relative silence, the requested removal of permissions marks the end of an era.

;Redirect autopatrol
A recent [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers/Redirect_autopatrol#RfC_on_autopatrolling_redirects|Request for Comment]] on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was [[WP:SNOW|closed early]]. New Page Reviewers are now able to [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|nominate editors]] who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Redirect_whitelist#Editors_whose_redirects_are_whitelisted|list of users]] whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by {{noping|DannyS712 bot III}}.

;Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first [[WP:NPPSG|New Page Patrol Source Guide]] discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a [[WP:BEFORE]] prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the [[WT:NPR|New Page Patrol talk page]] for more information.

;This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on [[Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)]]. Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

== Question ==

Since you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=934679091&oldid=934678908 said] you reviewed those tickets, perhaps you can answer [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Debresser&diff=934121657&oldid=933626743 my question], which two other OTRS members have ignored for a few days now. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 22:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
:Hello. Due to OTRS privacy rules, I am unable to disclose the contents of the tickets or provide more detail, however I can state that I have sufficient information to affirm my belief that the concerns you raised at AN are not ones that apply in this situation. <span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 23:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Thank you for your reply. I just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I asked you about my concern, whether perhaps these tickets may be part of some coordinated effort. In other words, whether it is not possible, as far as can be determine from the tickets, that a group of people (or editors) with a certain - possibly anti-Semitic, or otherwise - agenda stands behind them. I raised that concern on my talkpage, not at WP:AN. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 08:11, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
:::Hi, yes, I did see and understand your question and my above reply is in relation to that specific concern. Normally I would be more explicit when asked questions, but in this instance I can’t go into further detail without violating the privacy of those that contacted OTRS. Kind regards, <span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 08:24, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
:::: I understand. Thank you again. On a general note, and with full understanding, that this is not one of the things that can be changed, I am not happy with the idea of undisclosed tickets that influence a community project based as a rule on consensus. There is a certain tension between the two. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 08:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

== Request for help ==

Hello, I'm writing to ask whether you might be able to help. I saw your page on the mentors list and it said that you resolve content disputes. I've had a particular issue about content with an article for quite some time; it's provoked edit wars and the like. As a rather junior editor, I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to resolve it permanently. Would you be able to help?

[[User:Kohlrabi Pickle|Kohlrabi Pickle]] ([[User talk:Kohlrabi Pickle|talk]]) 13:50, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
:Sure, [[User:Kohlrabi Pickle|Kohlrabi Pickle]] , tell me what your thoughts are/question is and I'll see if I can guide you along. <span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 15:01, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

:: Thanks so much [[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span>! It's about the article [[Sharada Peeth]]. Sharada Peeth is the ruins of an ancient temple and centre of learning in Azad Kashmir (officially disputed territory, but administered by Pakistan). Alongside the title, I introduced the name in two common scripts of the Kashmiri language. Kashmiri is read in both scripts: Devanagari (Kashmiri Hindus/Pandits) and Nastaliq (by Kashmiri Muslims). I also introduced the Sharada script, which is a ceremonial script, but I thought it was appropriate because the subject of the article played a big role in its popularisation and the script was subsequently named after it.

::Several editors have tried to remove the Devanagari script (most frequently) and the Sharada script (less frequently). Often this is done without giving reasons, and nearly always done without referring to the talk page, where I presented a case for introducing all three. The most common reason is that Devanagari (or Sharada) is a script that is not native to Pakistan. My opinion was that since Wikipedia does not take sides in territorial disputes, the most neutral stance was to introduce all three scripts, especially since they are all read by members of the native community of that area. I also used the neutral language of "Pakistani-administered Kashmir" and "Indian-administered Kashmir" throughout the article, but some editors have removed them in favour of more firm language like the official names used by either India (Jammu & Kashmir) or Pakistan (Azad Jammu & Kashmir).

::I'm quite tired of debating with every editor who chooses to edit the title, and it'd be great if I can show a consensus to refer to, so that a new editor has to engage with that before making these edits. I know I am supposed to assume good faith on Wikipedia, but I note that nearly all the editors on that page focus only on the politically charged elements, like the name, rather than expanding the content of the page (which I have done extensively). I am also not partial to any particular outcome - it could be anything as long as the title can remain consistent with good reason.

::Thank you again for your help. [[User:Kohlrabi Pickle|Kohlrabi Pickle]] ([[User talk:Kohlrabi Pickle|talk]]) 17:26, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

== Scripts to do multiple page moves ==

Hi Steven. I just came across your question at [[Wikipedia talk:Requested moves/Archive 32#Scripts to do multiple page moves]], and wanted to point you towards [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/massmove]], which can add and remove prefixes from large lists of pages (for example, you could have it remove the prefix "List of United States Senators" and add the prefix "List of United States senators"). --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#04A;display:inline-block;padding:1px;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</span>]]) 16:07, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Source Guide Discussion
The first [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Source guide discussions/Ghana|NPP source guide]] discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

;Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]]. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at [[WP:RPATROL]].

;Discussions and Resources
*There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Improving_new_article_edit_notice|ongoing discussion]] around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
*A recent discussion of whether [[Michelin star|Michelin starred]] restraunts are notable was [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_284#RFC_on_Michelin_stars_as_a_reliable_source_for_notability_of_restaurants|archived without closure]].
*A [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Resources|resource page]] with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Increasing_the_scope_of_WP%3AG5_vis-a-vis_socking.|proposal]] to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

;Refresher
[[WP:GEOLAND|Geographic regions, areas and places]] generally do not need [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of [[WP:SPAM]] for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Your help can make a difference
[[User:SDZeroBot/NPP sorting|NPP Sorting]] can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since [[WP:ACPERM|ACPERM]], your help could really make a difference.
;Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
;Discussions and Resources
*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Paid_editing|discussion]] on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
*Also at the Village Pump is a [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Is_it_time_to_place_greater_restrictions_on_AfD?|discussion]] about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
*A proposed new [[Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_77#Proposed_new_CSD_criterion:_R5,_for_redirects_with_malformed_or_misspelled_(disambiguation)_qualifiers|speedy deletion criteria]] for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
*Also ending with no change was a [[Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content/Archive_70#RfC_on_converting_fair-use_raster_graphics_to_vector_graphics_as_it_relates_to_criterion_3b|proposal]] to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

== There is no Cabal! (Long live the Cabal!) ==

I've done gone and done it. I've raised the possibility of reopening MEDCAB. See [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Proposal_to_add_'Fourth_opinion'_as_a_means_of_dispute_resolution|here]].

Oh hell yes. Reopening MedCab is something I thought about doing for the same reasons you listed, and would honestly draw me back into the fold.<span style="font-family:Verdana">[[User:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#078330">Steven</span>]] [[User talk:Steven Crossin|<span style="color:#27a">Crossin</span>]] <sup>[[WP:DRN/V|<span style="color:#d81">Help resolve disputes!</span>]]</sup></span> 21:30, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

== Dispute with user Revan646 on Lawrence Kasdan article ==

Hello Steven. I'm in the midst of a dispute with user Revan646, and not sure how to resolve it. I added a substantial amount of new material to the article for Lawrence Kasdan in February 2020 (all of it meticulously sourced), and Revan646 has now three times deleted all of it to revert back to the old (and quite thin) version of the article. Their only reason given is that I "ruined it" by making it too long and "filling this page up with unnecessary information." I tried to communicate with the user directly (politely, despite them calling me "a troll or stupid"), but they have ignored me and once again deleted all of my efforts. The back and forth prompted another user, Timaaa, to warn me about the consequences of engaging in an edit war, which I certainly have no desire to do. How can I resolve this situation according to Wikipedia's protocols, and at the same time maintain the integrity of the article? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tgreiving|Tgreiving]] ([[User talk:Tgreiving#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tgreiving|contribs]]) 22:32, 25 June 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Is there a case for NPOV here? If so, guidance please... ==

Hi Steven, I'm quite new with the exact workings of Wikipedia, but I try to interject some balance into the odd article that seems biased.

In this case, it's the [[Thomas_Woods]] article, specifically the reference to [[League_of_the_South]]. Woods was present in their initial meetings and is cited as a co-founder, however he insists he had left the group long before their political views become so extremist. His body of work does not belie any of the far-right or racist views of the latter stage League.

My point for NPOV here is: There already is a League of the South page, and that's where all of their extremist views should be enumerated. Editors are insisting that their promulgation of white supremacy and anti-semitism be included in the Thomas Woods page itself. I'm not trying to get the association or the link removed, I'm making the case to that say:

"Woods was a founding member of the League of the South, a white supremacist and neo-Confederate organization which spreads conspiracy theories about Jews."

Is inflammatory and non-neutral with respect to the actual subject of the page, who was not a member of said group once their views went in this direction.

I have been reversed by two editors who keep putting that language back in. I'm ready to post this to [[WP:Neutral_point_of_view]] noticeboard but figure I should get an opinion on whether there is a genuine case here and if so, some guidance on how exactly I move forward.[[User:Balance66|Balance66]] ([[User talk:Balance66|talk]]) 13:55, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|100px]]
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

[[File:NPP 2020 Chart.png|800px|A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue]]

;Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by {{noping|Rosguill}} who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to {{noping|JTtheOG}} and {{noping|Onel5969}} who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to {{noping|John B123}}, {{noping|Hughesdarren}}, and {{noping|Mccapra}} who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by {{noping|DannyS712}} which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|redirect whitelist]].

[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|left|200px]][[File:NPP Technical Award.png|right|200px]]
;Reviewer of the Year
{{noping|John B123}} has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

;NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you {{noping|DannyS712}} has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Six Month Queue Data: Today – 2262 Low – 2232 High – 10271

== Editing of biographical page of Joseph Couture ==

Dear sir-

Here is a copy of the exchange I had with the editor I disagree with over her edits on this page. Could you possibly assist?

Biography of Joseph Couture[edit]
Looking back through the history of this page, it is clear that you have focused a great deal of your personal attention on this particular page. You continually revert edits, demand citations for simple and ordinary matters and keep reducing the size and scope of information about this individual. Now you have tagged it as not being a notable subject although it clearly meets the guidelines for such as both a published author, award winning journalist and famous gay activist. The pattern here appears to have an element of personal dislike for the individual or subject matter. This is an opening dialogue as per Wiki guidelines before a complaint is filed and a review of your edits requested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BD29:1900:2012:35CE:1224:43BB (talk) 05:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Feel free to review my edits - if you look through my contributions you will see that I have edited a large number of articles here, so I have hardly focused a great deal of personal attention on this particular page. It is on my watchlist, and so I have noted over the last couple of years when unsourced content has been added and maintenance tags have been removed without improvement of the content and therefore reverted those edits. I have no personal opinion in this particular person whatsoever, my concern has been with wiki guidelines for biographies. If you could clearly explain which of wikipedia's notability criteria this person meets, that would be great and the maintenance template can be removed. Melcous (talk) 06:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
P.S. Why was this completely unrelated link to the Capital attacks added to this comment? I did not put it there and it has no relevance whatsoever to the matter at hand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BD29:1900:2012:35CE:1224:43BB (talk) 05:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

It is a footnote from an earlier editor and was not added to your comment, it has been on this page well prior to you editing it. Melcous (talk) 06:23, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

No doubt it is on your watchlist as the history shows that often within minutes of an edit to the page you respond. But you do not simply review the changes just made, you take the opportunity to make extensive changes of your own at that time, usually cutting larger and larger chunks. Like today, you removed his journalism award, which was in fact published in numerous places around the world and is a documented fact. As he was the only journalist in Canada to have won this prestigious award at the time, and under the circumstances he did is only one element of his clear eligibility. This now helps your case he doesn't meet that criteria as things such as winning major awards are a factor. Being an internationally best-selling author is an another example of his eligibility, which has been listed there for many many years and you did not challenge. As is the fact that he was named amongst the top newsmakers of the year at the end of 1995 for both his journalism and the award he won. That same article from the Globe and Mail (one of Canada's most respected national newspapers) mentions his award, but you ignore it and delete mention of the award because you claim another source inaccurate. As you chip away at removing the history, you slowly erode the evidence of his eligibility.

As much of this material is now quite old and was placed here long ago, it is harder and harder to find it in a simple Google search and you are burying his history and putting people in the position of having to work harder to prove things that were previously available and established- and that at an earlier time you even approved yourself. You also arbitrarily decide what stays and what goes regardless of proper and verifiable sourcing. For example, from the last two lines quoted from the same source, you leave one line and remove the second. The second happens to talk about his history of bisexuality and polyamory. You have previously removed properly sourced material on numerous other occasions, seemingly simply because you do not like it. Whether you like this man, or his history does not permit you to decide what details of his life get told and those which get buried. The fact that in raising this issue with you, you respond by immediately further removing documented elements of his history and attacking this individual even more reveals your clear bias. You obviously have had this page on your "watchlist" for a long time and many things that you later changed were there before you appear on the list of editors and you did not remove it until much later. And why only now, after all this time and all your deletions of his many accomplishments, do you now suggest the page be removed?

You have actually made it easy to demonstrate your history of bias and edit warring, a rule which was designed to protect against random members of the public who disagree, and likely not from one of their own editors who may commit such an offence. Since you not only will not cease your campaign or demonstrate a willingness for meaningful discussion, I now have no choice but to escalate this and complain to your superiors. It will be easy in some many cases by examine your history of arbitrary and capricious editing as it is well documented in the record, which, thankfully, you cannot edit out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BD29:1900:8442:1568:65B3:B9AE (talk) 13:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


Here is a great example of your selective editing:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/bernardo-author-wins-humans-rights-award/article1136923/

This article mentions in the Globe and Mail that Joseph Couture had previously won this award before author Stephen Williams and that such awards are typically only given to journalists living under dictatorships. You claim to have checked this information but it only took a quick check to prove this point as it is so well documented. This award, the circumstances, the high level of publicity around it are all evidence of his notability. Yet you continue to chip away at it. You are well aware that as time goes by more and more things slip behind pay-walls and can no longer be easily accessed by the public and only now make changes that are increasingly difficult to reverse, but easy for you delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BD29:1900:8442:1568:65B3:B9AE (talk) 13:57, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


Case in point, that link to the article with the headline that Stephen Williams won the same award is no longer found on the web, possibly because the paper is now defunct. Did you simply read the headline and conclude because it only mentions Williams that it had nothing to do with this author? As you can see from the still available link to the Globe, Couture is mentioned as having won it first. So if you read the actual article, or did your own research, you would have known that. But I suggest you are not looking for what you do not want to find. The link to the journalism committee report documenting the harassment of Couture is still active and is evidence again you choose to ignore. On and on it goes, I will be reporting you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BD29:1900:8442:1568:65B3:B9AE (talk) 14:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Another important item deleted earlier was the fact that he was nominated repeatedly by his colleagues for awards in investigative journalism. Again, many of these links are gone. But this one remains:

== Looking for a dispute resolution volunteer ==

I've been editing Wikipedia for about five years, but until recently have not had experience with disputes concerning my edits. I am having issues with my edits to the page [[Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed]]. In December and early January my edits were criticised as being possibly biassed. I defended these criticisms as I felt my edits were an accurate reflection of media coverage. For a short time a neutrality tag was placed on the article. It was then replaced with a tag 'This article has multiple issues'. I have made further edits to the article in the past week which a new editor has repeatedly reverted. As I have had little to no involvement with disputes in the past I am not sure how to handle it and I would appreciate your help and guidance on how to proceed. I would appreciate if you could spare me some of your time to help with this matter, [[User:AmirahBreen|<span style="color: darkblue">Amirah</span>]] [[User talk:AmirahBreen|<span style="color: darkgreen">talk</span>]] 22:51, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

== External Links Dispute ==

Hi Steve - Can you give me some advice about handling an issue I'm having with an administrator about an external link? The dispute is contained on the following talk page: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:River-kind?markasread=222602776&markasreadwiki=enwiki#July_2021/ Link Dispute]]

The external links are at the bottom of the article on Secular Buddhism. There are two links at issue, but the specific link I'm most concerned with is this one: [https://sites.google.com/view/nichirensecular/home/ Secular Buddhism and the Lotus Sutra]

As I understand the rule Wikipedia articles may include external links, links to web pages outside Wikipedia. Some acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

I'm quite familiar with the site and believe it fits this description of acceptability. It's not a personal webpage, as it is not about a person or "personal," but rather fully on topic. The link was on the page since 9/11/18 and it was working properly before the administrator removed it.

If you are unable to advise, would you please let me know of someone who might? All I need is a decent explanation about why it was removed. It would also be helpful to know why the other external links above it were maintained, but knowing the answer to this last question is not necessary.

Thank you,
[[User:River-kind|River-kind]] ([[User talk:River-kind|talk]]) 23:55, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Revision as of 07:06, 6 September 2023

Retired
This user is no longer active on Wikipedia.

Hi, I'm Steve.

For over a decade, I've been active on and off on Wikipedia, involved in improving Wikipedia's dispute resolution processes and helping other editors resolve their disputes. I created the dispute resolution noticeboard, served as a mediator for the Mediation Cabal, worked on various articles and performed maintenance activities including closing discussions, and general cleanup. I also served on the committee of Wikimedia Australia for several years.

I no longer have the time to contribute here anymore, and while few will notice or maybe even remember me (as I'm a relic now), to those that I did work with over the many years (and you know who you are), I will miss you.

I wish everyone on Wikipedia all the best. Signing off for the last time, Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 04:14, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar
Steven Crossin, I'm sorry to see you go. While there was no recent activity and the departure happened in relative silence, the requested removal of permissions marks the end of an era. It seems appropriate to provide a barnstar that combines thanks for the use of each of them over the years. All the best! 🍀🌻 ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
