I had to edit your user page. Stop being a modest bum and at least include a line about your creation in your User Page. I mean, it's something that deserves recognition! [[User:Rivselis|Infested-jerk]] 23:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

== Re: [[Nexus War]] ==

Hmm... If the other appearance wasn't noteworthy, than this one certainly won't be. Unless Nexus War somehow gets a full article in a gaming magazine somewhere in the next two weeks, I don't think the article can be saved at all. I may just have to save the current content and re-install it when the game receives more coverage. -- [[User:Kirby1024|Kirby1024]] 15:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
:As with other entries that are on the cusp of satisying the criteria what I'd recommend is start the entry in your [[Wikipedia:User page#How do I create a user subpage?|sandbox]] and we can all offer advice and scare up some other sources. You can also ask some of the AfD voters to look it over and see if they have any input so if they are happy then you already have some consensus before making it live which means it should avoid deletion. I do think there was some misunderstanding about the mention of the article in the computer magazine and I don't see a big problem if someone were to scan it in and throw it up on Photobucket for people to check (it still fits under fair use) or just scan in a couple of the most relevant ones. I think this should mean it'll be in a solid form when all the sources are in place. ([[User:Emperor|Emperor]] 12:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC))

==copyright==
The basic information is at [[:WP:LOGOS]]. Most people are unwilling to license the use of their logo under GFDL, although I am not sure of the exact interaction with trademark law. The use therefore must qualify as Fair Use by our standards, which requires the formulas given at that page to be followed exactly (and the use of a low resolution image). You cannot give permission for use in Wikipedia alone--it's meaningless, because our content is as a whole licensed under GFDL and anyone can copy it.  If this isn't enough information, the best way to deal with difficulties is to simply go to the talk page for WP:Copyright and ask. All the experts and would-be experts hang out there.

== Article Feedback ==

Hey Jorm, re: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATrue_Grit_%282010_film%29&action=historysubmit&diff=397577545&oldid=397557612 this], thanks for the information.  I find this very interesting, so instead of filling up the article talk page, I thought I'd come by here.  I'm just turning this over in my head and have several questions.  What is going to be done with the information received from this tool?  Is there a list somewhere that shows all the articles that are using the tool, with their current ratings?  I can see several possibilities with this.  If this were rolled out throughout Wikipedia, we could have a list of "highest rated articles".  Sort of like a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured Article]] from the Reader's point of view.  I'm not sure if you are familiar with Featured Articles, but the process in it's current form relies on what editors think of the writing, following all the Manual of Styles and quality of sources and such.  There are a lot of hoops to jump through to get an article featured and perhaps what our '''editors''' think makes "Wikipedia's best articles" is completely different than what our '''readers''' believe makes the best articles.  What are your views on this?  [[User:Tex|Tex]] ([[User talk:Tex|talk]]) 14:35, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

== Some designing help, please? ==

I've built some Wiktionary scripts recently for improving the usability and editability of the English Wiktionary (which will hopefully be enabled by default at some point), switching the layout to a "tabbed" interface with each language section being placed in a separate tab, and adding expanding side boxes with editing options next to definitions. (Enable-able [[wikt:User:Yair rand/Please press this button to test out some scripts|here]], source [[wikt:User:Yair rand/TabbedLanguages.js|here]] and [[wikt:User:Yair rand/editor.js|here]] (alternative version of the second script [[wikt:User:Yair rand/editor2.js|here]])). Maybe you could take a look at the scripts and give some suggestions about how they could be improved? Since no one in the Wiktionary community (afaik) knows much about usability, tools designed entirely with the input of Wiktionary regulars will probably end up not very usable for newbies, so it would be really great if as much of the designing as possible was actually put in by a real designer... --[[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] ([[User talk:Yair rand|talk]]) 00:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

== Need direct help or someone's else help ==

Hi Jorm<br />
this is [[it:UtenteNipas|Nipas]] (aged 49) from [[Monza]] ([[Milan]], [[Italy]]). Please, I need your help to solve this pdf print problem: [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Malfunzionamenti#Stampe_calendari_di_calcio_su_2_e_3_colonne_su_pdf_da_sistema 2 or 3 column aligned on pdf prints]. None had been able to solve the following problem: output pdf prints containing fixtures' tables for soccer championships (older ones in this [[it:http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Nipas/Sandbox|sandbox]]) (new ones in my [[it:Utente:Nipas/Sandbox1|new fixtures' tables]]) are always displayed on 1 single column despite normal (2 or 3 horizontally aligned) on printers' outputs. New tables had been a successful resolution of main problem (3 columns calendars are wider than the normal [[A4 paper]] sheet so that larger team's names are devided into two lines) but when I saw other users linking several championships in a single book I noticed prints were impossible by a saved pdf file because a 15 days calendar was printed on 6 pages (5x3 + 1 = 3 days per page). Is there a way for fixing it or I have to change the first line instructions of each table ?. Even a third part help will be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance, Nick.

==''The Tea Leaf'' - Issue One - Recent news from the Teahouse==
Hi! Welcome to the first edition of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter of the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]! 
[[File:Sakura and Mt. Fuji 桜(さくら)と富士山(ふじさん).jpg|thumb|right|Spring has sprung! Stop by the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]] for a cup of tea under the [[cherry blossoms]].]]
*'''Metrics are out from week one.''' Week one showed that the need for Teahouse hosts to invite new editors to the Teahouse is urgent for this pilot period. It also showed that emailing new users invitations is a powerful tool, with new editors responding more to emails than to talk page templates. We also learned that the customized database reports created for the Teahouse have the highest return rate of participation by invitees. Check out the metrics [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Metrics|here]] and see how you can help with inviting in our [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Invite_guide|Invitation Guide]].
*'''A refreshed "Your hosts" page encourages experienced Wikipedians to learn about the Teahouse and participate.''' With community input, the Teahouse has updated the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Your hosts|Your hosts]] page which details the host roles within the Teahouse pilot and the importance that hosts play in providing a friendly, special experience not always found on other welcome/help spaces on Wikipedia. It also explains how Teahouse hosts are important regarding metrics reporting during this pilot. Are you an experienced editor who wants to help out? Take a look at the new page today and start learning about the hosts tasks and how you can participate!
*'''Introduce yourself and meet new guests at the Teahouse.''' Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests|guests]] at the Teahouse. New & experienced editors to Wikipedia can add a brief infobox about themselves and get to know one another with direct links to userpages. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, they'll surely be happy to feel the wikilove!

==Help debugging a javascript for the Muhammad article?==
Hey Jarm.   As you probably know, lots of people are distressed by the images on the Muhammad article.   In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Muhammad_images#Question_1b:_Should_there_be_a_functional_hatnote.3F upcoming RFC], we propose allowing a functional hatnote that, upon clicking, would hide all images on the page.    

There's a very basic script I wrote to do this, [[User:HectorMoffet/OfferToHideImages.js]]  which works okay for me, but reportedly isn't working for the one other person who tried it out. I've created demo screenshots, but it's not like the real thing.

1-- is there a 'simple fix' that would allow most RFC responders  to be able it out for themselves?  

2-- more broadly, can you just reassure us at the RFC that this functionality IS feasible and that it could be easily implemented if a consensus for it forms?

==''The Tea Leaf'' - Issue Two==
Hi! Welcome to the second edition of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter of the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]! 
*'''Teahouse celebrates one month of being open!''' This first month has drawn a lot of community interest to the Teahouse. [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts|Hosts]] & community members have been working with the project team to improve the project in many ways including creating scripts to make inviting easier, exploring mediation processes for troubling guests, and best practices regarding mentoring for new editors who visit the Teahouse. 
[[File:Backlit tea leaf.jpg|thumb|right|Springtime means fresh tea leaves...]]
*'''First month metrics report an average of 30 new editors visiting the Teahouse each week.''' Approximately 30 new editors participate in the Teahouse each week, by way of asking questions and making guest profiles. An average of six new questions and four new profiles are made each day. We'd love to [[Wikipedia_talk:Teahouse|hear your ideas]] about how we can spread the word about the Teahouse to more new editors.
*'''Teahouse has many regulars.''' Like any great teahouse, our Teahouse has a 61% return rate of guests, who come back to ask additional questions and to also help answer others' questions. Return guests cite the speedy response rate of hosts and the friendly, easy to understand responses by the hosts and other participants as the main reasons for coming back for another cup o' tea!
*'''Early metrics on retention.''' It's still too early to draw conclusions about the Teahouse's impact on new editor retention, but, early data shows that 38% of new editors who participate at the Teahouse are still actively editing Wikipedia 2-4 weeks later, this is compared with 7% from a control group of uninvited new editors who showed similar first day editing activity. Additional metrics can be found on the [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Metrics|Teahouse metrics page]].
*'''Nine new hosts welcomed to the Teahouse.''' Nine new hosts have been welcomed to the Teahouse during month one: [[User:Chicocvenancio|Chicocvenancio]], [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]], [[User:Hallows AG|Hallows AG]], [[User:Jeffwang|Jeffwang]], [[User:Mono|Mono]], [[User:Tony1|Tony1]], [[User:Worm_That_Turned|Worm That Turned]], [[User:Writ Keeper|Writ Keeper]], and [[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]].

==''The Tea Leaf'' - Issue Four==

Hi! Welcome to the fourth issue of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter for the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]! 

*'''Teahouse pilot wraps up after 13 weeks''' After being piloted on English Wikipedia starting in February, the Teahouse wrapped up its pilot period on May 27, 2012. We expect this is just the beginning for the Teahouse and hope the project will continue to grow in the months to come!

<span style="font-size: 1.5em">Thank you and congratulations to all of the community members who participated - and continue to participate!</span>

*'''What you've all been waiting for: [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Pilot report|Teahouse Pilot Report]] is released!''' We look forward to your feedback on the methodology and outcomes of this pilot project.
*'''....and if a pilot report wasn't enough, the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Metrics|Teahouse Pilot Metrics Report]] is out too!''' Dive into the numbers and survey results to learn about the impact the Teahouse has made on English Wikipedia.
*'''Teahouse shows positive impact on new editor retention and engagement''' 
[[File:Teahouse button.png|200px|right]]
:*409 new editors participated during the entire pilot period, with about 40 new editors participating in the Teahouse per week.
:*Two weeks after participating, 33% of Teahouse guests are still active on Wikipedia, as opposed to 11% of a similar control group. 
:*New editors who participated in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles, make 7x more global edits, and 2x as much of their content survives on Wikipedia compared to the control group. 
*'''Women participate in the Teahouse'''  28% of Teahouse participants were women, up from 9% of editors on Wikipedia in general, good news for this project which aimed to have impact on the gender gap too - but still lots to be done here!
*'''New opportunities await for the Teahouse in phase two''' as the Teahouse team and Wikipedia community examine ways to improve, scale, and sustain the project. Opportunities for future work include:
:*Automating or semi-automating systems such as invites, metrics and archiving
:*Experimenting with more ways for new editors to discover the Teahouse
:*Building out the social and peer-to-peer aspects further, including exploring ways to make answering questions easier, creating more ways for new editors to help each other and for all participants to acknowledge each other's efforts
:*Growing volunteer capacity, continuing to transfer Teahouse administration tasks to volunteers whenever possible, and looking for new ways to make maintenance and participation easier for everyone.
*'''Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host!''' Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting [[WP:Teahouse/Your hosts|here]].
*'''Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse.''' Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Guests|guests]] at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is really encouraging to new Wikipedians.

==''The Tea Leaf'' - Issue Five==
[[File:Iced Tea from flickr.jpg|thumb|right|Stop by for a tasty glass of wiki-[[iced tea]] at the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]], today!]]
Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter of the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]! 

*'''Guest activity increased in July.''' Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Invites|automatic invite]] experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteer who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse!  (But don't let that deter you from [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host lounge/Invite guide|inviting]] editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
*'''More Teahouse hosts than ever.''' We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts|here]]. 
*'''Phase two update: Host sprint.''' In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation.

== ''The Tea Leaf'' - Issue Six ==

Hi! Welcome to the sixth edition of ''The Tea Leaf'', the official newsletter of the [[WP:Teahouse|Teahouse]]! 
*'''Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months''' on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever. 
[[File:OranienbaumTeehaus2.jpg|thumb|right|A lovely little teahouse nestled in Germany from [[Wiki Loves Monuments]]]]
*'''Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week.''' Ever since [[User:HostBot|HostBot]]'s automated invite [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Invites|trial phase]] began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
*'''Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests''' according to [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host_lounge/Metrics#Retention_::_Visitors_vs._non-visitors|six month metrics]]. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
*'''New host process implemented''' which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse/Hosts|hosts]] page and become a Teahouse host today!
*'''Host lounge renovations nearing completion.''' Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the [[WP:Teahouse/Host lounge|Teahouse Host Lounge]] - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements [[meta:Research:Teahouse/Hosting#Results|here]].

== Inline editable titles ==
When you hover above a page title a tooltip should appear with the message: "Click here to rename the page". If you click it the title should turn into a textbox, so you can enter whatever text you want to enter, press enter or click on "Rename" and the page is renamed. To confirm you see the "postedit" confirmation message with the text "Page renamed". 

Another option is to display a new combobox (for the namespace) and textbox (for the pagetitle) at the top the &action=edit pages if the user has permission to rename the page.

A checkbox with the option to move the associated talkpage as well is probably a good idea.

[[WP:FLOW]] and [[:File:Wikimania - 2012 - Athena Project.pdf]]. This is clearly an attempt to turn wiki into another Facebook. If I wanted to play on Facebook I'd go get a Facebook account.

::VE doesn't work well at all and this FLOW stuff is way more complicated so what should we expect? I know you're just following orders from WMF and Jimbo and they are all worried about editor numbers, but losing one long term editor is worse than getting 20 newbies, most of whom will be gone in a year anyway. The real root of the problem isn't the interface, but the ever worsening way editors are treated on wiki, which WMF doesn't do a darn thing about.

*PumpkinSky: my first thought on this is that if you think you can divine the intentions, motivations and goals of a person or a project by looking at contextless, year-old slides, you're out of luck. My second thought is that if you are genuinely interested in finding out what Jorm is planning, what bits of it might actually come into effect (as opposed to merely being in a Wikimania presentation), and have any of your questions answered, you need to fix your attitude. We're staffers, not robots; when you come in going "This is clearly an attempt to turn wiki into another Facebook. If I wanted to play on Facebook I'd go get a Facebook account. This will go over even worse than Visual Editor; it's got disaster written all over it." our willingness to engage with you plummets. Come and engage me, or Maggie, or Brandon, when you can show the same decency to us you'd be expected to show to any other editor.

'''Think outside in'''.  Please consider how things work in the "real world" rather than making iterative changes on the current Wiki model.  There are a lot of screwy things on Wiki (people editing each other's talk, no avatars, ability of anyone to edit a user's wall, etc.)  Every other site (linked in, forums, facebook, diet sites, etc.) has the opposite.  And that is BS to act like we're all serious and not social.    

Making changes to the Wiki layout and code and such is really the one "lever" that the WMF can use for making change.  You can't reorganize the moderation structure, change article formats, even the damned MOS.  But you have control over the software.  Think of the new users and be open to the huge real world.

Also think of the functionality.  Why should a user page or a talk page have the same structure as a collaboratively edited article?  

Or look at how poorly talk pages are used for reader feedback (they work OK for article development by hard core users...but some ability to chat back and forth with the real "customers" is not really there.  For some reason, no one clicks on there...they just don't.  Maybe if you had another window (old "article talk" became "article construction talk" and have a new one for "reader feedback" (and make it easy to edit, like a forum).  Yeah, there would be some overlap, but right now...there's just NOTHING.  Maybe getting direct feedback and discussion with real readers (not been here since 2004 regulars) would make people who write articles feel more energized, or affect how they write to improve it (e.g. cleaning up the mess of math project people), or even by engagement...leading to some readers (hopefully the better ones) deciding to get involved.  But this para is just idle ideas.

[[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 19:08, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

P.s.  It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.  Just change stuff and act apologetic when the regulars scream.  (Yeah, be open to real usability issues and learning from bugs and all that.  But some of the static is just the same crap you hear whenever someone changes the background color on a message board.  Risker crying about the edit button moving without consultation was a hoot).  Oh...and I'm trolling, but I mean it too.

Jorm, please do not keep undoing these changes. I find your censorship politically motivated and against Wikipedia rules.

Dumb and dumber think alike. Jimmy Wale's lapdog, hipster long haired, scowling poster boy Jorm graces an ad begging for money to keep Wikipedia afloat. Its hardly public TV or radio. Jorm, NeilN and a tiny group of thought police moderators censor Wikipedia article content with impunity. Its not what you write, its who you know that determines if an edit is immediately censored. Moderators are free to totally ignore every Wikipedia rule. Independent thinkers, editors and dissenters to Wikipedia's cult like sheep thinking are banned and blocked. Wikipedia and its moderators/administrators have zero integrity, reliability, accuracy or respect. The moderator censors are a joke.

== Gamergate vandalism ==

Someone saying "Wikipedia has an official opinion on Gamergate: hatemovement" complete with mocking tells me a few things. 1- the treatment of Gamergate is clearly biased and uneven. 2- the person who made an edit to my account after you is the one who needs to be blocked. 3- the current rules around Gamergate make insigtful and balanced edits to the article almost impossible. The net result of all of this is an article that is biased and incorrect and repeats a one sided coverage of the whole issue.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 05:35, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

== Brianna Wu revert ==

Hi Jorm, I happened to see your Undo of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brianna_Wu&diff=next&oldid=715820627 this edit] where you caution the editor not to removed sourced information. However, it looks like the information was not actually sourced, and in fact had a Citation Needed tag. I'm not going to revert at this time, but BLP pretty clearly states that unsourced information that is challenged (which is was, by the editor you Undid) or likely to be challenged should be removed until consensus to include is reached. Perhaps you have a different perspective? <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-size:3">[[User:The Wordsmith|'''The Wordsmith''']]</span><sup>[[User talk:The Wordsmith|Talk to me]]</sup> 17:06, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

== Brianna Wu" ==

You are partially correct about "Software Engineer" ... There are various fields of study to lead there.  Journalism and political science are not those.  And a person cannot just say they are a software engineer with nothing to back it up other than a tweet about taking computer science classes at age 13 and "It's true!" ... Quite frankly, that's absurd. --[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]] ([[User talk:SVTCobra|talk]]) 22:22, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
:I am a software engineer.  I don't have a degree in software engineering.  You'll be hard pressed to find someone who will say that I am ''not''. 
:Honestly, I don't understand why ya'll have to go about trying to denigrate Brianna.  It's stupid and childish, and you guys look stupid and childish when you do it.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 22:41, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
::Hi Jorm.  I am not part of any "y'all" or "you guys".  I am just a person who recently started reading about GamerGate and all that.  As such, I naturally visited the related WP pages. I saw unsourced information and corrected it as I normally do for any page.  You can see my edit history. 10 years of it. To my surprise, Brianna Wu took to Twitter within an hour (maybe 30 minutes) and a shitstorm (the likes of which I have never been involved in) took off.  I even visited Wu's own website before I removed the term "software engineer".  She's CEO and lead developer.  So I concluded it was unsourced.  I have no motive to denigrate her (childishly or otherwise).
::Indulge me, if you would, Jorm.  As a software engineer, do you have a degree in a related field? (Information systems, computer science, information technology)  Do you hold certifications in the software that you are a specialist in?  (Microsoft certifications, Java certifications, C# certifications ... you know).

:::[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]]: I do not believe you in any way that you are "just reading about Gamergate".  You're running the playbook, bucko.  If you're not one of them, you're definitely doing their dirty work, which, in my book, makes you one of them.
:::I do not have a degree in a field related to software engineering but ''I have been doing it professionally for over twenty-five years.''.  When you get paid for writing code, you're a "software engineer".  I ''defy'' you to say otherwise and not be laughed at by any real programmer.
:::You don't need to reply. --[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 23:23, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
::::OK, chum (since we are on familiar terms). Twenty-five years is a long time. You pre-date a lot of the formal university-level programs for sure. In my own 20+ year career I have pre-spec'ed many programs with flow-charts and what was needed from them. I have never encountered a programmer who insisted s/he was an engineer. And that includes external programming consultants. BTW, you neglected to say if you have any certifications.
::::Now that we've got the "old timer" talk out of the way, what playbook am I running?  Are you seriously considering that I am a GamerGater???  Did I create my account more than 10 years ago for this?  Did I make over 20,000 edits on [[Wikinews]] for this?  I removed unsourced information from an article. I do this often (or semi-regularly). Frankly, the experience of touching the Brianna Wu page has been scary. --[[User:SVTCobra|SVTCobra]] ([[User talk:SVTCobra|talk]]) 00:25, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

The result is an  extreme backslash or one may argue that these are reasons people use to go after her, which I think both are valid in a relevant article.

== New Page Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|80px]]
Hello Jorm. Your account has been added to the "<code>New page reviewers</code>" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as [[meta:Help:Patrolled edit|patrolled]], tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the  [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]]. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you '''must''' read the new tutorial at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol|New Pages Review]], the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various [[WP:Deletion|deletion criteria]]. If you  need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''page reviewer talk''']].
*{{red|'''URGENT'''}}: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
*[[WP:BITE|Be nice to new users]] - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
*You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
*Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
*Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice. 
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator.

== Milo Yiannopoulos article ==

Hello Jorm,

You are correct to point out I've made too many edits on this page today; I hope you can forgive a newb to Wikipedia editing.

As far as I can tell what I originally edited on this page was legit -- I cited existing information already present further below on the same page to justify my edit. As I understand, when you are deleting information on this page you are supposed to cite your reason for this. I didn't see you do this so I have nothing constructive to work with in the editing process.

Tomorrow once I can edit this page again I'm happy to take your editing justifications into consideration and add more detailed analysis and facts from the public record.[[User:Joeparsec|Joeparsec]] ([[User talk:Joeparsec|talk]]) 19:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
:The way Wikipedia works is "Bold, Revert, Discuss".  You were bold in your edit, that is good; step one.  I reverted you (because there's a long-standing consensus against your edit), which was good; step two.  Your next step is "discuss" and that means "go to the talk page of the ''article'' (not my talk page)" and either join an existing discussion there about the topic at hand or start a new one. 
:I apologize if I came across harsh; the article itself is one that is subject to a lot of "drive by brigading" by people who don't want to bother learning how to edit the encyclopedia collaboratively.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. --[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 19:52, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGamergate_controversy&type=revision&diff=798266021&oldid=798262737 This] is typical of the crap that you simply must stop writing. It isn't helpful, it subliminally enforces your obvious POV, and it is incredibly irritating, as plenty of other people have already told you. Why not go write some stuff outside the general Gamergate topic area for a while and reacquaint yourself with the wider workings of Wikipedia?

== [[Milo_Yiannopoulos]] edit - reversion ==

Hi, you were quite right to make [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Milo_Yiannopoulos&diff=801176959&oldid=801109435 this edit] to the article, but leaving an edit summary which just reads '' 'no' '', makes it confusing to see what you've done when it appears on a watch list. I know it can be tempting to leave a tongue in cheek summary, (as I'm probably guilty of also), but I'm going to try to remember that the [[Help:Edit_summary|summaries]] are for all the editors involved in contributing to that page, and not a comment to the person who made the edit.

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Patriot Prayer]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|BRD]] for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].  In some cases, you may wish to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. 

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in your being [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''&mdash;especially if you violate the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that an editor must not perform more than three [[Help:Reverting|reverts]] on a single page within a 24-hour period.  Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert.  Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you don't violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> [[User:Darkness Shines|Darkness Shines]] ([[User talk:Darkness Shines|talk]]) 05:38, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

::{{re|Coffee}}What happened was this, in order:
::# Someone new to the article made changes to the lede that went against long-standing consensus as to what was there.  The lede of that article is a hotspot and ''no one'' edits it without discussion.
::# Someone ''else'' added an infobox right after.  I don't care about that over much, but w/e.
::# I went to undo the lede changes.  Wikipedia gave me the "can't undo" thing, so I decided that I'd roll back to the last "good" version of the lede and then add the infobox changes in a separate edit (so that the infobox changes were separate, and could be reverted or discussed independently - which is, in my opinion, smart).  I even used this edit summary: "We're going to roll back to here first to get to the version that has consensus; I'll add the infobox back in my next edit."
::# Once I restored the correct version of the lede, I added the infobox back in with this edit summary: "Re-add infobox (I don't think the article needs one, but I'm not going to fight about it.)"
::# Darkness Shines then rolled back both of my changes (my first revision, and then the re-add of the infobox), with the edit summary "No consensus for crappy infobox.", which would lead one to think that the infobox was what he objected to.  It is just a ''co-incidence'', I'm certain, that he also rolled back to the non-consensus version of the lede (which, by the way, is the way that DS wants it and has been fighting for for ''months'').
::# I then thought, "okay, no infobox, that's fine, I don't care, but we don't keep those lede changes". So I reverted back to the "good" version of the lede, which wouldn't have the infobox.  Ostensibly, this would be what Darkness Shines wanted (and at this point the article was at status quo)
::# Rather than talk to me, of course, DS immediately went to the Edit War notice board, where witty banter ensued.
::# I got a notice that I was blocked.

== "Go away, little troll." ==

I understand where you're coming from, and I know that editing Sarkeesian's article and other GamerGate stuff can be frustrating because of the high number of trolls and vandals and SPAs and whatnot that they attract, but comments like "Go away, little troll." are really unhelpful. They're not going to deter a legit troll, but they might just turn away a good faith editor. I'm sure you're familiar with CIVIL and AGF, so I'm not going to link them. But I don't think it's too hard to fight trolls while also staying in policy. Cheers, -- [[User:Irn|irn]] ([[User talk:Irn|talk]]) 15:10, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

== Miniscule spelling fix ==

I indeed looked up "miniscule" and "minuscule" in a number of references before embarking on making changes to articles.

There are in fact articles in Wikipedia that address the spelling. I'm confident that, as merriam-webster.com asserts, "The adjective minuscule is etymologically related to minus, but associations with mini- have produced the spelling variant miniscule. This variant dates to the end of the 19th century, and it now occurs commonly in published writing, but it continues to be widely regarded as an error." 

Despite its age, I view this spelling as an error, and I believe it is still widely regarded as an error. Since Wikipedia is so frequently quoted in print, I felt it was an improvement to the body of content to remove instances of a spelling that is widely regarded as an error. 

I checked each article I modified, and in fact added /sic/ as a clarification on those instances where a review or source material showed that it was accurately quoted.

However, since you are concerned enough to reverse these edits, I will correct other errors that are less prone to debate.

When editors make non-vandal or seemingly constructive edits, I believe they deserve the decency of having a reason given for reversion, rather than single word interjections such as "no". For example [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Involuntary_celibacy&diff=838740853&oldid=838740532 here] you deleted [[The Times]] as a source. And [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Involuntary_celibacy&diff=838596085&oldid=838595023 here] you inserted a highly questionable claim into the article without as much as an edit summary.

Hi Jorm.

:I wasn't understanding what you were saying and doing. Try to explain yourself next time and try to reach other people out, before and instead of assuming their bad faith and deleting their comments, which are both against the rules. By the way, try to read objectively what it is written too. My comment was a answer to GorillaWarfare example of a person named "Molly" being someone unworthy of being used as a reference, as she (NOT me) explecitely said. Therefore i wrote that "Maynard is no random Molly like the one you use in the example" and therefore is worth citing. I didn't know Gorillaware was a she and was called Molly. I know only now because i tried to understand why you confusely said i was offending anyone and now i know. So i have deleted the reference to "Molly". Yet it is in a very bad faith to assume that it was some kind of personal attack, as the message as it was before wasn't offensive at all and was clearly using the same example of that user.

:Okay, first: you need to learn how to sign your posts.  You can easily do this by adding <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> to the end of your comments.<br /><br />Second: My talk page is not the place to discuss article things.  It simply isn't.  There will not be consensus reached here because ''this is not the article''. I am only one person; you are only one person; two people who disagree cannot create consensus.  You need to get the input of other people who edit the article itself.<br /><br />Third: I don't know what you mean by people harassing you; that really shouldn't be happening. I believe you're trying to work in good faith, so if anyone is harassing you about your content, that's an issue and one I'll fight against.  However, you have to work within the consensus system, and not simply ignore it.  If you're just ''ignoring'' consensus, that's not good, and people calling you out on it isn't harassment.<br /><br />That said: open a thread on the article talk page.  State what the change you want to make and why.  I'll respond and give my reasons for the revert, and other people can chime in.  You'll want to link to the diff of your original edit (which is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stoneman_Douglas_High_School_shooting&diff=875807402&oldid=875805750 here for your convenience]) so that other people can easily see what you're trying to do.  Note that an argument that is based on "other articles do it" will absolutely ''not'' fly anywhere; that's not how Wikipedia works.

== Hey ==

I've started a (very) brief description of Flow's early days at [[mw:Talk pages consultation 2019/Discussion tools in the past]].  I'd be happy if you or [[User:Isarra]] or anyone else involved in its inception could [[Cunningham's Law|tell me what I got wrong]].  [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 17:43, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
:Hey [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]!  I took a quick look over that, and it's not correct about Flow at all.  Flow had nothing to do with LiquidThreads or its codebase. Here's a couple things:
* First, Isarra did some user research about this while interning as part of the Google Summer of Code.  She wasn't deeply involved in the project otherwise. She'd be fun to talk to about that.
* LQT was an attempt to make structured talk pages and was ultimately very simple. LQT was really just a shit-ton of talk pages with wrapped connection logic and no workflow logic.
* Flow was a ground-up restart that was intended to address the ''actual use cases'' of talk pages, rather than just slapping some structure around talk pages. Flow was designed as a modular workflow system ''first'', of which discussions were one of the workflows.  This wasn't well-understood by the community; most people couldn't get past the idea of "talk page replacement" and never bothered to actually see how a workflow system would help them to their jobs better.
* An important design principle for Flow was that it would be adjustable and adapt to work in ''any'' wiki project, not just the English Wikipedia.  I feel that this was a big confusion for people, because they saw design patterns for things that they didn't use and thus didn't see the value in them. For example, small wikis don't have arduous processes for article creation, so forcing the enwiki process on them didn't make sense.  This was a lesson learned from the Curation Toolbar project, which was unfortunately implemented to be English only.
* Some people in the Foundation leadership got cold feet and pulled support from the project. I'm fairly certain that an astute reader can fill in the blanks as to who made those decisions and why.  None of those people are still employed by the Foundation.
* Internally, some decisions were made about resourcing that I think were the reason the project ultimately was killed:
*# I was pulled off the project for reasons never adequately explained.  This was basically the death-knell for the project because, at the time, I was the only person in the design team who knew ''anything'' about how Wikipedia worked, especially about talk page systems and the workflows of various projects, so institutional knowledge was pulled from it.
*# Some people thought that limiting Flow discussions to shallow nesting was a great idea (literally because "that's the way Facebook works"). This was, and remains, a ''shit'' idea, if only because Wikipedia discussions aren't Facebook threads.  Ironically, this decision turned Flow into ''exactly'' what the community feared it was going to be: an ill-thought attempt to enforce modern, sloppy, "social media"-like features onto what needed to be non-frivolous and useful.
*# Rather than focus on required, important features (like the fact that Flow needed to be cross-wiki from the beginning), focus was placed on bullshit interactions and visual design.

I still love the project. I honestly feel that it could have become something great, and I'd work on it again in a heartbeat.  Sadly, I do not believe that the WMF has the sand to actually do anything to improve the projects at all, ever, so we are where we are.

Hope this helps.  I can talk/rant in much greater depth if you want, but I cannot guarantee that everything I have to say makes the WMF look good.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 18:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

:Thanks for the quick response.  What do you know about the plans for LQT3?  Were you around for that?  [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 18:51, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

::[[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]: I was; it was my project. There were no real plans for LQT3; it never rose to the level of a "real" project because about 2 weeks into the thinking behind it I realized that LQT was insufficient for what was ''actually'' needed (a workflow system), so it was shelved. The codename was vaguely used as a way to talk about "next generation" discussion for a time, which is where a lot of confusion may lie.
::By the way, LQT2 wasn't really a project either, for that matter: LQT2 was mostly bugfixes and minor enhancements. It was a project I was on until management pulled the plug and refocused resources (read: me) on some other projects that never, ever saw the light of day but took up a lot of time and drama, such as Article Creation workflows (which served as the genesis for my ideas around Flow), Moodbar (a pet project of an executive), and the Personal Image Filter (which was a reactionary project that was never going to happen, ever).--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 00:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

::Jorm, you are under no obligation to make the WMF look good. [[User:Cullen328|<b style="color:#070">Cullen</b><sup style="color:#707">328</sup>]] [[User talk:Cullen328|<span style="color:#00F">''Let's discuss it''</span>]] 23:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
:::That's good, because I am well past giving a fuck.  Sometimes I wonder what I accomplished there at all, if anything, and I get a little bitter.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 00:44, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
::::You accomplished awesome stuff.  I'm not interested in reputation buiding here.  I'd much rather have straight answers that I can trust that an effort to make any person or group look either good or bad.
::::It's that transition from LQT3 to Flow that interested me when I was drafting:  LQT simply couldn't do what was needed, so LQT3 was dropped and Flow was born.  It sounds like describing LQT3 as having been "planned" is an exaggeration, so I should change that.  (Or you can.  You know where to find the Edit button.  ;-)  It sounds like it would be helpful to explain the shift from "just talking" to proper workflow support.  Do you have a favorite example/use case for that? 
::::In re shallow nesting, I thought that a lot of effort went into that.  But I think that "here's a way to replace the duct tape and bubble gum that is AFD" would have been far more compelling than any level of nesting.  (I know.  You can't have AFD if you can't post a comment.  But something that would make [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion&diff=691603124&oldid=691225176&diffmode=source this] utterly pointless is what I still want.)   [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 17:39, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
:::::[[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]: Regarding "shallow" nesting:
:::::* I can say that ''I'' put a lot of effort into determining how shallow or not the nesting should be.  I remember a long conversation with [[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimmy Himself]] about it on a whiteboard where I explained my reasoning and why.  I felt that there ''should'' be a maximum nest level, but that it needed to be between 5 and 10 points deep, with more research being required for the final number.  I even wrote a corrollary to [[Godwin's Law]] about it: "As the number of nesting levels a conversation has grows, the likelihood of one participant saying 'fuck you' approaches 1."
:::::* I was present for the decision to remove deep nesting and the "amount of effort" the decision took was about 10 minutes of debate (mostly with me) and no research.  The justification was literally this:
:::::** Deep nesting confuses people (untrue, and no evidence was provided to support this claim)
:::::** Everyone uses Facebook and is used to it (also above)
:::::** It will be more attractive to new users (possible, but I don't buy the argument)
:::::It was overall a blatant disregard for the actual problems that were attempting to be solved, which is like "design 101".  But then, most of the design team at the time was only interested in either making toys or arguing about fonts, and not actually doing real design.
:::::Note also that decision was made by people who ''did not'' edit or use Wikipedia except as readers.  The kind of designers who though that the watchlist was an overly complicated bookmarking system (this is why the watchlist on the mobile site is absolutely useless).
:::::Regarding Workflows: It was both AFD and ArbCom that brought me to the idea that we needed workflows (Flow) over conversation (LQT).  The crux of it was a realization that a "conversation" is also a "workflow".  There are defined rules to conversations, even if we don't think of them that way.  To this end, I started looking at what a "post" actually was, and modifying the definition.
:::::The intent was that a "post" could have a variable "type", those types being things like:
:::::* Wikitext blob - a "normal" post of undefined length
:::::* Enumerated Value and Wikitext Blob - a typical AFD type discussion post, where there's a value selection (support/oppose/comment/whatever) and then a possible text clip of a defined (or undefined length) that may or may not be required. So, a community could say "for these kinds of discussions, we only want these possible values (support/oppose/comment) AND the post ''cannot'' be made if the selection is "oppose" without also including a comment, of a maximum length 200 characters"
:::::* Permission specific posting - "only admins can respond in this section", etc.
:::::Support for post filtering was also a thing (so that ArbCOM could view the discussion without comments by uninvolved jabronis, etc.) or you could hide people who were trolls, etc. It had designed support for marking comments as helpful or unhelpful and then the ability to auto-hide comments to unregistered users if the ratio between the two was too low, as an attempt to help protect unsuspecting users from long-time trolls who liked to throw around the c-word.
:::::Flow also had designed support for filtering on "what I haven't read" and there was a whole system for "subscribing."  You could subscribe to pages (like watching a talk page) or users (if you wanted to watch their posts, like with a newbie or a vandal), or you could subscribe to ''processes'' (like, "users asking for help" or "users requesting unblock").
:::::Closing discussions wouldn't require you to know what <nowiki>{{atop}}</nowiki> was.  Dropping DS notices would have been trivial.  Marking users as ignored. etc.

I still haven't gotten that page updated yet, but now I have a new question.  It works like this:
* Everyone (allegedly) hates infinite scrolling.
* Everyone hates having only part of the Flow board visible (by which they mostly seem to mean "accessible to the Find feature in my web browser").
* Everyone thinks the current archiving system is clunky.  (I mean, really:  we have to run a bot to manually copy individual edits to a different file, and if you want to find a discussion that was archived a while ago, you have to run a separate search, and – well, I'm preaching to the choir.)
* Nobody with any brains wants to load even the last year's worth of WP:ANI, much less everything that's ever been posted there.

So my question for you:  How did they decide how many threads to load, before I get the click-here-to-load-some-more button?  [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 20:15, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
:[[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]: I was not involved in that decision.  I know who was, and I would not have gone with that solution at all.  Here's some thoughts:
:* Each of the infinite scrolling objections I had been presented with I had ways around (and faith that it was the right solution).  The problem more complicated than any of these issues taken singularly, which seems to be the way that folk like to do it.
:* People assume talk pages are flat files ''or'' they assume they're forums ''or'' they assume they're more like books and they will shout ''loudly'' that they are absolutely, in no way shape or form, like "Facebook". These people are wrong.  Talk pages are exactly like Facebook and Twitter in that the following is true: They are streaming conversations and are rarely, if ever, considered "permanent". They are ephemeral and context-driven, and very often that context is "time".
:* People think pagination is the ''only'' solution when they think of the system as being "static".  Talk pages aren't static.
:** However, talk pages are ''not'' like Facebook or Twitter in that their archives are of ''importance''.  There seems to be an impression that changing the way we view data somehow lessens its importance, which I personally do not understand, and typically ascribe to "fear of the new thing".
:* People who think "just load everything so I can control-f" are privileged to live in a part of the world where bandwidth is cheap.
:* With complicated mental models - especially regarding a system (talk pages) - that has multiple, varied use cases, let alone user expectations - the solution to all things is multifold.  The way I intended for navigation to work was built around the confluence of several mechanisms:
:** Infinite scroll for your "feed" until all entries had been caught up with, then switching to chronologically-based pagination.
:** Automatic archiving (as a thread is no longer interacted with, it auto-archives. There's no flag needed. It's just ... further in the history
:** Direct, permanent urls to all parts of a post: the primary and all replies and sub-replies (and eventually translations)
:** A robust search system (which is how I expected most navigation to work). This helps eliminate the "find" problem because if it's well done it replaces.
:*** Searching something like ANI would be smart filter and keyword usage.
:** Affordances (buttons) to "just load everything" for people who wanted to do that.
:** Being able to disable infinite scrolling as a preference (this is a no brainer, and we would have needed to do it anyway because another important thing was "must work without javascript", and pagination is the fallback there)
:Anyways. I could write a book about all this.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 21:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
::I'd read that book, but (for once) I'd probably rather watch a series of presentations from you.  And get to ask questions.
::I'm glad to hear that the click-here-to-load-some-more button isn't integral to (or even a part of) your vision.  As a more immediate question, I wonder if it would be less annoying if I encountered it less (e.g., load twice as much before asking me to pay attention to that button).  It's only a factor at mw.org for me, but the frwiki Teahouse regulars might also appreciate it.  I'll think about whether to phile a Phab task.
::Volunteer-me would like to ask whether you happen to like re-designing Main Pages.  [[:w:ht:Paj Prensipal/Sandboks]] (three comments on the talk page) is another thing I didn't get done last month.  The main goals are:  nothing that requires regular updates (no DYK, no In the News, and the Featured Article might stay up for a year), and not being needlessly painful to readers.  The local technical capability is:  we can copy and paste pretty well.  Are you interested?  [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 23:45, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
:::No, there was no logic to the number that I was involved in.  I was planning to run some experiments within a range once we got to there; I had always assumed it was going to be something like "Load 30 threads at initial load, and then continue loading 10 each on scroll, until you hit 150 threads and then dropping to a static button", with some extra rules around shit like "well, if there's only 160 threads, don't bother dropping to a button" but I also expected to do some testing to find the optimal numbers once it worked.
:::There's another thing, too: it's likely that we could have just avoided it entirely, even for _giant_ archives.  We could pull a metric ''shitload'' of threads as unformatted JSON and simply not draw them until needed, and then in "archive" searches would be ''blinding'' fast (because it would be searching memory rather than an https API).
:::It feels like the current limit was suggested by someone who thinks of talk pages as an email inbox, rather than a stream.
:::I have redesigned main pages in the past!  In fact, Meta still sports huge parts of my design for it. I wouldn't mind doing it but I am not interested in the politics behind such discussions, I think.  Enwiki's main page is terrible (boxes inside of boxes inside of boxes inside of boxes and all using these weak colors that remind me of improperly toasted white bread). I can only empathize with constraints its designer had, one of which is the fact that Vector is terrible and ugly in and of itself.
:::(When are ya'll going to make an initiative to push Timeless?  It's a far, far superior skin in nearly ''every'' way.  It's super usable on mobile and using it on mobile means you don't have to encounter the mobile front-end's wretched implementation of the watchlist!)
:::Anyways: I can take a look at it, though I clearly don't speak the language.  Could I do a design in English and have it localized?  --[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 00:28, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
::::I don't speak the language either (or French, which would also be helpful), which basically means that you cannot possibly do a worse job than I have.  Most of the (few) people there can read English, so translations should be feasible.  
::::So far, my efforts have mostly involved trying to remove stuff that's obviously not wanted.  I don't really know what ought to go in it.  There should presumably be a Featured Article slot.  Maybe some sort of basic "hey, we have some contents" slot?  (Although at enwiki, the various Portal: namespace links to general subjects don't get very much traffic, so maybe even that isn't important – but how else would we tell new readers that this is the sort of stuff they could expect to find?)  Maybe a big search box, since that what's people actually seem to do on the Main Page?  We reduced the sister links a year or two ago down to a small set, and I think that helped.  
::::If it were sufficiently generalizable, and used relatively few templates or other complicated things, then it's possible that it could be used as a model for other small wikis.  [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 01:21, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm reading some comments about communication tools, and I thought that this one might interest you:
<blockquote>Flow: lorsque l'on veut contacter d'autres contributeurs, c'est très rapide et c'est facile de répondre. Par contre dès qu'il y a plusieurs personnes qui interagissent, je n'arrive pas à voir au premier coup d'oeil quelle personne répond à une autre. L'autre soucis que j'ai avec Flow, c'est comme son nom l'indique qu'il est conçu pour afficher un flux de discussion, lorsqu'on cherche un ancien sujet en se disant "Ah, ça me rappelle quelque chose dont on avait parlé il y a quelques temps", c'est usant de scroller jusqu'à arriver à la discussion voulue. Pour résumer mon avis sur Flow, c'est un bon outil pour des questions/réponses, et on a besoin de ce genre d'outil pour certaines pages comme le forum des nouveaux et qui mériterait d'évoluer pour s'adapter aux cas d'usage de WP:Questions juridiques, WP:Atelier graphique, et d'autres ; mais pour des débats ou discussions il est contre-productif. (from Yodaspirine at frwiki)</blockquote>

== Re: [[Max Landis]] ==

All I have to confirm this is a screenshot of a conversation I had with Max this morning. His name is not John Maxwell Landis. I asked him to confirm, and he told me his name is not even Maxwell. Where or how do I submit this, rather than just having you sigh and revert the changes. I've never had an error like this in submitting a Wikipedia change in the past.

::::BFalvey7 is right on the issue, however: There was no source for "John Maxwell" either. So you were introducing unsourced information just as well as them (except "John Maxwell", beyond being unsourced, also appears to be wrong). When someone complains that a piece of information in a [[WP:BLP|BLP]] is wrong, before reverting them you should check whether that piece of information indeed is wrong (or at least unsourced); if neither version comes with a source (such as what name Landis was ''born'' with), removing that piece of information outright is better than opting for the unsourced information we had first.

== Climax Blues Band ==
Hi Jorm,
I'm trying unsuccessfully to update the Climax Blues Band website that reflects where they are today but the content keeps getting rejected.

As a comparison I looked at Eric Clapton's Wikipedia page:
In August 2018, Clapton announced that he had recorded his twenty-fourth studio album, Happy Xmas, which consists of blues-tinged interpretations of Christmas songs, with the album released on 12 October.[123]

Eric Clapton also has a recent photo from May 2015 but again we seem to have a problem changing the photo from 1974 to 2019.

Please tell me what's wrong with the text and changing a photo that represents who the band are for the last 6 years?

Please don’t just arbitrarily remove a npov check tag and proclaim”drive-bye” that is not wp:agf and my claim of not assuming good faith can be supported by no entry on the talk. Also the talk page is rather lengthy and there is a perception any edits whether cited and encyclopedic are being reverted or removed is they show the subjects military service as related to Vietnam claims in an unfavorable light.

Saying that the talk page is not a forum begs the definition of a forum!!!

The purpose of my post was to state that the information on the page is improperly organized.  In particular, prejudicial information appears in the part of the article most presented to readers, especially when the article is displayed out of line to the hit list by a search engine.

I called for the information from the SPLC to appear further into the article, under the heading "relations with other groups", and be removed from the initial paragraph.


How the heck can people discuss anything about the article's structure or contents, given your "not a forum" comment!!!

== Clarification on closed discussion ==
Hello, I see you recently locked a discussion about Gab. My question is why does this article include a particularily inflammatory phrasing on the first line of it. You have locked the discussion with "If the OP wants to challenge the legitimacy of the New York Times, they can do so elsewhere," with no ability to respond. If you read the thread again, I hope you will notice this part, which is the summary of my complaint: "I'm not making a claim that they are not reliable; I'm saying that for extremely inflammatory claims to be put on the first line of an article, it should probably have more than one source, and if it for some reason absolutely must be there, we should probably not be using an organizations real or imagined enemies. This conversation can grow to be fairly long, but I suppose I would ask, why is the onus on me to prove why an inflammatory statement based on one source shouldn't be in the first line of an article about a website? Isn't that backwards?" As I now have no way to find the answer to this because you locked the discussion, I will bring the question to you, more clearly emphasized. Put clearly, even if the NYT is the most authoritative and trustworthy source in the galaxy, ''why does the article for Gab have a highly inflammatory clause about what it's been described as in the first line of it''? Is there precedence for this? Can you show me a well-thought-of article which has a similar tone in the lead? I haven't found anything like this in the area I normally focus on - Chinese history. I did check Hitler's, which didn't. If this is normal I'd like to start adding this kind of stuff to leads.

== Closed Discussion ==

You have closed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gab_(social_network)#Article_uses_slur_in_the_lead_paragraph. my discussion] about word choice on the Gab article. The summary was that extremist is not a slur and that the discussion is ridiculous. I find this odd when Wikipedia itself clearly identifies extremist as a contentious word that is usually used as a prejorative. For reference, Wikipedia calls the word [[extremist]] a [[prejorative]]. The article for prejorative lists slur as synonym. Extremist is listed under [[WP:WORDS]] in the style guide. I don't believe the closure was justified. [[Special:Contributions/2606:6000:6004:2C00:0:0:0:1|2606:6000:6004:2C00:0:0:0:1]] ([[User talk:2606:6000:6004:2C00:0:0:0:1|talk]]) 19:34, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

::::::''I think ultimately the accusations of political bias go to both of two places.  1) It's a waste of time, and 2) The Article clearly exemplifies the exact opposite of what the explicit text says.  Anyone concerned with issues regarding corporate censorship, abridgment of free speech rights and disproportionate representation would see all they need to see by reading this Article, and so while explicitly serving the interests of one group, it implicitly serves the interests of another.  I would prefer this to not be the case.  I would prefer that the same standards that apply to other controversial Articles be applied to this one, and patiently wait for that to occur, while I slowly learn and grow in proficiency as a Wikipedia Editor.  I point to the deafening silence in the section asking whether or not there is any legitimacy to Gab's claim of free speech (without quotes), as well as the lack of involvement or "educational instruction" from the approximately 20 well-experienced Editors that have been involved in the Article in the past.  Read an Administrator's statement once about "letting them fight it out" (regarding a different Article), and assume that idea is also true here.

This was my response, and it was my 2nd.  Decided account preservation was more important than telling the truth, so I'm dropping this here instead of in the Talk Page on Gab.  The real response starts with "Even If".  Even IF a person thinks they are accomplishing something by pushing the POV of the Article to one particular direction, it is having the exact opposite effect on the interested and aware Reader, as it confirms a very long list of continuously stated and openly discussed beliefs on places like Gab (and not Twitter, Facebook, etc...).  We do this all day long and every day.  What we don't do is structure our discussions to fit within the rules of Wikipedia, which I am aware exist for a long list of very good reasons.  Not an anarchist, or a "down with the Establishment" revolutionary.  There is a long history of "unintended consequences" as well as a long history of institutional blindness on the part of the ideologically possessed.  "You're doing it wrong", is the meme.  Once I realized this, the temptation was to actually GO with it, and from the strategic perspective help push the Article even further.  Decided not to do that, for two reasons.  One, I personally trust Wikipedia for the most part, and I would be pissing in my own well, and two I'd be pissing in everyone else's well.  So, the result of that little "thought experiment" was to take solace in the fact that you're all doing it wrong, and it's having the unintended consequences of exemplifying exactly what we're not allowed to talk about, and make the decision to remain committed to the fundamental ideals and "pillars" of Wikipedia, to learn them, to exemplify them through my actions and maybe teach them to someone else.  This is, with regard to Wikipedia, who I am.  Whatever that standard is, whatever those standards are,  I intend to exemplify and implement it, and there's little to nothing any detractors can do about it.  It's safe.  In the short term, it means being willing to back down, to lose, to perceive flagrant violations of Wikipedia Policy occurring on a regular basis, to remain grounded, not "fly off the handle", to be careful of what I choose to make mention of, and what I choose to ignore, to pay attention, to learn what knowledge is there, particularly that which is placed right in front of me, to remain as "collegial" and "professional" as possible and to remain focused on one of my core ideals, which is that Leadership is by Example.  FWIW and IMO, you should constructively engage with me.  You might discover there's a lot more "there" there than you even suspect.

== Calling something a "conspiracy theory" is not a conspiracy theory. ==

Please review the text below that you deleted from Gab's "Talk" page, and provide some justification for your remarks that the below is a "conspiracy theory", when it's obvious that my point is that the assertion that the human quality of "hate" can be measured by counting certain words is a "conspiracy theory", which I explicitly state in the text below.  You've made a regular practice of deleting my text in the "Talk" pages, with weak, little or no explanation and the only explanation I can come up with is that you are "tendatious" in your editing by trying to force the Article on Gab to reflect a single ideological perspective, or narrative.  Further, your manner is abrasive, unnecessarily conflict oriented and you seem to put little to know effort in helping "newcomers".  Nor do I see much effort on your part to actual improve the Article on Gab.  Rather, you seem to function as an idealogical "gatekeeper" or "enforcer".  I wish this were not the case.  I have made several overtures to you in order that we may be "collegial" and work together on this Article, however you seem to prefer to remain heavy-handed with your tendency to suppress any kind of open conversation and unwilling to allow other viewpoints to be enunciated.  But that's not the primary purpose of this note.  It's just "background" in case there is some kind of Administrative review.  My primary objection here is that asserting the existance of the "conspiracy theory" that "hate speech" can be measured by "hate words" is junk, pseudoscience, and rather than respond to this assertion directly, you've "mirrored" the accusation and turned it into a "conspiracy theory" in a thinly veiled effort to enforce an ideaological narrative.  I'm willing to go to "ArComm" over this, so I advise caution in your response.

"'':::::I have a problem using that source for anything in the Article.  First, where did the funding come from, and why the funding?  For all we know, Twitter hired a bunch of international nobodies to do a "hit piece", which is supported by my second objection, which is the entire concept of "hate words" somehow magically contain an intrinsic quality of "hate" (junk science assertion #1), and that somehow, the number of hate words, or the ratio of hate words, or the comparison of the numbers and ratio of hate words can somehow be used as a reliable metric for this junk science pseudoterm "hate" (junk science assertion #2).  As if you can boil-down human emotions to their basic molecules and separate them out and count them.  Do we have "love words"?  "Fear words"?  "Angry words"?  Who makes the determination of what words are "hate words" and what words are not?  How do they arrive at this determination?  Are there any double-blind studies?  Can they replicate their results?  Have they tested their theories on laboratory rats?  What did they use as a control for their studies?  Who would even pay for such a study, anyways?  It almost certainly has a political and/or economic agenda, unless you believe there's an invisible magic money tree that just mysteriously grows cash to pay for such a (stupid) study for no particular reason.  Has anyone ever studied rap music for it's "hate content". and compared the number of hate words in that musical form to, say for example, country music?  Is rap more hateful than country music?  How do either of those compare to Classical Music?  What was Bach's "Hate Index", and should his music be censored for being "hateful"?  They say the tritone is "the devil's interval".  Maybe the next step is to start censoring music with too many tritones, as being "satanic".  I can say a whole lot of really "hateful" things, and not use a single hate word, and so can everybody else.  Further, with all the virulent "anti-conspiracy" watchdogs around this Article, this is absolutely the very definition of a conspiracy theory.  Let's see some learned and academic research supporting the idea that measuring the "hate word content" gives any kind of meaningful information LONG before including this stupidity in an encyclopedia.[[User:Tym Whittier|Tym Whittier]] ([[User talk:Tym Whittier|talk]]) 22:13, 20 June 2019 (UTC)"''

== Proud Boys Talk Page (Citations) ==

I am not an expert contributor by any means, but you are, and seem to be professional and reasonable, so I am wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me advice. 

I posted a comment in the Proud Boys talk section regarding citations used to justify the term "neo-nazi" on the wiki page. The articles used to cite it, excluding the opinion pieces from politically charged sources, are being used incorrectly. 

E.G. citation [11] a Washington Post article that claims the FBI considers the Proud Boys a hate group. This was later followed up on by the FBI and they confirmed the FBI [https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/12/08/fbi-says-proud-boys-are-not-an-extremist-group-after-all/ does not consider the Proud Boys to be a hate group]. The follow up article correcting the citation is left out and never corrected on Wikipedia. I started the talk section, to see if this could be corrected and I was going to follow up as per your instructions with the proper citations, but now I wonder if it's even worth it because because SummerPhD and a couple other contributors are more invested in leaving that label on there and silencing anyone who wishes to present opposing evidence. 

My question is, should I even bother? Is the article currently hijacked to the point where anything conflicting with their political opinions rejected? It seems to me if I gave them an FBI report invalidating these claims they would be able to reject it by misusing Wikipedia Rules that were created for the exact opposite purpose. 

I also want to add, I am not a member of, nor am I affiliated with the group in either way. I am just an avid reader of Wikipedia, and I hate to see all of these articles on politics turning into dumpster fires. 

Thanks in advance.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hoohunglow|Hoohunglow]] ([[User talk:Hoohunglow#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hoohunglow|contribs]]) 12:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:The Proud Boys ''are'' Neo-Nazis though.  So yeah: unless the sun starts darkening the sky, I think you're going to be wasting your time trying to get that removed since there won't be any citations that prove your point, at least from reputable sources.

::Well, maybe I am misunderstanding the definition of neo-facist, and to respond to your comment, I don't have an agenda, I am just annoyed with hyperbolic labels being thrown on anything related to right-wing politics, if you consider than an agenda then I guess it's frustration. 

::It reminds me of this German comedy "Er Ist Wieder Da" where Hitler comes back from the dead and joins the Green Party. Obviously the Green Party was not created to be a neo-facist organization, but due to the actions of its members it deteriorates into a state where it literally is the new Nazi party. Maybe that's the case with the Proud Boys, I remember hearing about it early on and it was a fairly benign group. But like anything else when you have enough people in it it turns into something else. I know there are/were a lot of members who were not Nazis, but after Charlottesville it came to light certain members attended who clearly were racists. Either way, I am not wasting my time with it anymore, it seems like a lost cause anyway, it's like the UKIP of fraternal organizations.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hoohunglow|Hoohunglow]] ([[User talk:Hoohunglow#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hoohunglow|contribs]]) 00:51, 10 July 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Unfortunately the majority of RS do not refer to them as fascist or neo fascist (you may want to address the point on the neo fascist talk page about the word having little to no academic standing.)   WP is supposed to
accurately represent the majority of RS opinion. Furthermore, the experts on labeling hate groups- SLPC  and ADL whom frequently throw around the fascist label do not use it to the describe this group.   The reason may have something to do with Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, and the proud boys being neither authoritarian or interested in dictatorial power.     Not all right wing hate groups are fascist and unlike the other objectors or proponents-my proposal to use the SLPC description is a harsher way of describing them but unlike fascist is not factually inaccurate.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2601:46:C801:B1F0:B86B:1C9F:5778:9BFF|2601:46:C801:B1F0:B86B:1C9F:5778:9BFF]] ([[User talk:2601:46:C801:B1F0:B86B:1C9F:5778:9BFF#top|talk]]) 22:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Gab neutrality ==

Hi Jorm, I added a section to the talk page here. Please weigh in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gab_(social_network)#Neutrality_issues

Thanks!

[[User:Alexgleason|Alexgleason]] ([[User talk:Alexgleason|talk]]) 21:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jorm, can you please take another look at the talk page and address my comments? I wrongly assumed you were conceding the point since it has been 2 days since your last response.

I would also like to point out that we did not form consensus for the inclusion of this newly added line. Consensus works both ways and I am putting in an active and timely effort trying to form consensus with you. I ask you to please do the same for me.

I'm not advocating that we say Gab is a beautiful place with rainbows and flowers, just that we remove an excessive subjective statement by a third-party. It's just '''one sentence''' that I think is in excess. My goal here is to preserve the encyclopediatic tone which I think is not well served by the inclusion of that statement.

To give an example, imagine on the page for Coca-Cola we include a statement from Pepsi saying "Coca-Cola has been accused of murdering union organizers. Also, Pepsi is more flavorful and better in every way." The point has already been made with the first sentence, while the second sentence is a self-promotion.

I'm not trying to twist the article into conveying Gab falsely. We all know what Gab really is. I just do not think we should be shamelessly promoting a competing product on the page. It's not relevant to the point, and the point is strong without it.

== My apologies==
I wanted to apologize for my comment in Floq's RfA that I "for once" agreed with you. That was unnecessary to include. My only interaction with you that I can recall was to post [[User_talk:Jorm#WP:CIVIL|a message on your talk page]] asking you not to be so dismissive of editors with different points of view, a comment with which you disagreed. I guess I wanted to indicate in the RfA that I agreed with you on the point you were making even though we were not like-minded editors. But, as I said, it was unnecessary to say and I did not intend it to be a slight of you. I hope you will accept my apology. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 20:30, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Liz}} - no worries, and no need to apologize.  I mostly was thinking that (as near as I can tell) you and I actually ''agree'' on most things, which was what I found curious.
:Regarding the comment above:  I want to point out that the folks I was being dismissive to were either A) a white supremacist who had been making deeply offensive posts about myself and others on other sites or B) those defending that person.  Person A has been star-chamber banned by Arbcom (likely for those or similar postings) and persons B and B2 are topic banned for their behavior in that area.

== Concensus rewritten lede Cloudflare ==

Could you perhaps help me start finding concensus for a rewritten lede? I believe my attempt, if not good enough to pass outright, should be an OK starting point for the discussion. Are you inclined to agree or do you think my changed version is inherently flawed? 

In any case, I'm really not sure what to do from this point as I'm rather clueless on how the process works. I'd appreciate your help!

P. S. I accidentally clicked on the "thanks" button for the undo. Just wanted to clarify it's not me being passive aggressive. [[User:HoboDyerProjection|HoboDyerProjection]] ([[User talk:HoboDyerProjection|talk]]) 00:20, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
:You opened an RFC. You need to wait for the results of that before you can make a bold edit that adds your whitewashing, I think, or accept/announce that it's malformed.  What you should do is open a new section saying "This is what I think the lede should say, and ''why''.  Be concise in your description.  Don't do anything dumb like say "The EFF isn't a reliable source so it has to go."  Be aware that removing all of the content about how they supported 8Chan and stuff is a ''complete non-starter'' simply because ''that'' is what most of the reliable sources talk about - which means it's quite literally the ''most important'' thing about the company (for now).  You will be better served by trying to be deeply honest and not trying to "save their image", which makes you look like you're here with an agenda.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 00:49, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
:: Accusing me of whitewashing is completely uncalled for. I think you're being needlessly combative towards me. 

To be completely frank, you're giving me the impression that you have reverted my changes without actually taking a look at it. 
:* I did not call the EFF a bad source, I responded to an editor who said that and I told them I would try to replace it with something better it if they believe it isn't suitable. 
:* My rewritten lede kept almost all of the text referring to alt-right, extremist and terrorist groups but changed the ordering to a chronological timeline. Only a few sentences were actually changed at all.
:* There was no whitewashing whatsoever. Everything was properly cited with reliable sources, although as has been discussed, one of which could be deemed to have an agenda. But that source was only used to provide a nuanced text, using direct quotes made by an organisation that supported Cloudflare's policies. 

Criticisms aside, thanks for the advice about finding concensus. I will do that soon. [[User:HoboDyerProjection|HoboDyerProjection]] ([[User talk:HoboDyerProjection|talk]])
::I actually hadn't meant that you thought the EFF was a bad source, but trying to point out that other people want to do that, and caution you against that kind of behavior/decision.  Apologies if I didn't word that well.  And I suppose I shouldn't have said "your whitewashing"; that was unfair.
::I see, uhm, a ''lot'' of this type of thing, and the patterns are always the same, and it all blurs together.  However, you ''do'' need to open a conversation on the talk page; that's the "D" part of "BRD".--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 01:34, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

:Oh shit!  No, it means, "this was on my to-do list and has slipped my mind!" but also I think maybe I could use some more direction as to what it is you're looking for.
:My comment about the c-word was basically saying that when a culture permits misogynist, racist, or homophobic language is not going to be able to retain or draw in large percentages of folk who fit the demographic of the language's victims.  And saying "get a thicker skin" or "it means something different in England" or any other kind of apology doesn't make the offense or damage any less real, nor is it acceptable if one wants to have a functioning society.

== I did not leave "murder accusations" ==

Nor did I even imply that, because the idea of murder is ridiculous. It probably was a suicide; all I said was that the Winnipeg Police haven't issued a ruling yet, which will no doubt be suicide based upon his sister's public comments.

Thank you.

:Implying that Zoe had anything to do with his death and intimating that the police are thinking of her as a subject of interest - without a source ''at all'' - is doing ''exactly'' that.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 23:29, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
::The only implication is that Zoe's recent allegations of abuse, which led to the termination of his employment, in such close temporal proximity to his death, may well have been a contributing factor in his suicide. I don't believe I was intimating that the police considered her a suspect (which would be ridiculous, in my opinion). If I was unclear then I apologize for the misunderstanding.

== Your bullying is noted and will not be accepted. ==

Just to say I will not be accepting any silencing or bullying from the likes of you on here. I removed bias from an article, I got a reversion from an obviously corrupt editor with an agenda (had male feminist in his about page, reverted an edit re that so should have been keeping his fingers off since it's clearly a subject he can't be impartial on) and now I see you polluting my talk page with your intimidation. you can go straight to hell, it doesn't matter how passive-aggressively you phrase it, I know cult-like behaviour, bullying and outright intimidation when I see it and I'm seeing it right now. I've been on here since the start, and I will not bow to anyone pushing an ideological agenda who has been climbing the greasy pole.

== Facebook container reply ==

Hello, Jorm. <s>I responded to your reply [[Wikipedia_talk:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-09-30/From_the_editors#Facebook_tracker_on_this_page%3F|here]].</s> I'm still not sure what is happening here. There's a chance I'll end up with egg on my face for not realizing something silly but at the moment I'm still stumped and I'm thinking it's not a problem on my end. <s>The offending HTML appears to be a DIV inserted ''after'' the page footer, which is highly irregular.</s> I'll tinker with it for a while by using another browser and update in the thread with whatever I learn. [[User:Jason Quinn|Jason Quinn]] ([[User talk:Jason Quinn|talk]]) 14:09, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:I still have no idea what's going on. The only page that trigger Facebook Container is [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2019-09-30/From the editors]] (not the talk page, which I may have been unclear about when I wrote "this page"). Actually Facebook Container itself says "No Facebook trackers detected" but for some reason it is inserting the "badge" it uses to flag an element
<pre>
<div class="fbc-badge js-fbc-UID_1 fbc-badge-small fbc-badge-share fbc-badge-prompt-align-top" style="z-index: 202; left: -12px; top: -5px;"><div class="fbc-badge-fence"></div><div class="fbc-badge-tooltip">Facebook Container has disabled this button and blocked Facebook from tracking your visit to this page.</div><div class="fbc-badge-prompt"></div></div>
</pre>
that it thinks is a tracker (this was the code I thought was suspicious but I now believe it is inserted by the plugin). I still don't know ''why'' the code is inserted by the plugin and the badge doens't seemed to be attached to any element so it ends up rendering in the upper left of the page. Maybe it's a bug in Facebook container itself. I'll let you know if it turns out to be more than that. [[User:Jason Quinn|Jason Quinn]] ([[User talk:Jason Quinn|talk]]) 14:32, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
:[[User:Jason Quinn|Jason Quinn]]This is interesting.  I went back looking on the pages and couldn't find any trackers or html that might trigger one, so I agree that your plug-in (or a different one) may be inserting the code for you.

Just because you don't think Intelligent Design is science does not change the fact that it uses the same scientific processes that Darwinian Evolution does.

Hi, I just thought i'd let you know that antifa is labelled as "left wing" on their own wikipedia page too. So it's not incorrect to use the label "left wing" in the Andy Ngo article.

I'll undo your revisions because you haven't given a reason as to why Antifa should not be labelled as "left wing" but to avoid this turning into an edit war, please let me know again if you're not seeing eye to eye with me and we can then discuss - [[User:Cement4802|Cement4802]] ([[User talk:Cement4802|talk]]) 03:20, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
:You're inserting the text in a way with an attempt to sway the political balance of the statement.  Always inserting "Left wing" in front of things is a conservative propaganda tactic, and I'm going to continue to revert that kind of bias from creeping in.--[[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 04:16, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

== Removing comments on Black Lives Matter talk page ==

Hi, could you help me understand why you felt it necessary to remove the recent comments on the Black Lives Matter talk page? I don't think they should have been removed, as I don't believe they violated any of the talk page guidelines - [[WP:TPO]] - and it's my understanding that talk page comments should not be removed unless they clearly violate one of those guidelines.

I understand that race is a heated topic, and I believe it's important to discuss these issues in a respectful, civil manner. In that light, I worry that your labeling of opposing arguments as "white supremacist" is unfair and unproductive. I hope maybe you'll reconsider and restore the previously deleted comments. Thanks [[User:Stonkaments|Stonkaments]] ([[User talk:Stonkaments|talk]]) 01:22, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|Stonkaments}} The IP was using talking points that ultimately go back to white supremacists and based on bad math.  They were also dishonestly using sheer numbers on one hand and percentages on the other (and furthermore ignoring the context of those percentages).
:If you look at [[Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States#Racial_and_ethnic_categories]], you'll see that white people make up 63.4% of the population and black people 13.4%.  In other words, there's 4.7 times as many white people in America as their are black people.  Even if we take at face value the claim that the annual number of deaths-by-police is three times higher for white people than black people, that means that black people are more likely to be killed by police.  [https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ Statista says there's about twice as many white deaths as black deaths] -- but there's about 4.7x times more white people than black people.  Statista's reliability as a source (for this site) is questioned though, so going into more readily accepted sources, [https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793 this article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences] and [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01846-z this Nature article] both say black people are 2.5 times as likely to be killed by police as white people, while [https://www.newscientist.com/article/2246987-us-police-kill-up-to-6-times-more-black-people-than-white-people/ this New Scientist notes that in some regions black people are 6 times more likely to be killed].  This [https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fact-check-bar-graph-black-white-homi/fact-check-misleading-bar-graph-presents-distorted-interpretation-of-black-and-white-murder-rates-idUSKBN23M2SX Reuters article] has a lot of interesting points as well.
:As for citing percentages of arrests among white vs black neighborhoods, that's just as easily (if not moreso) an argument that black neighborhoods are overpoliced and more readily arrested over smaller infractions than of the (pretty fucking racist) insinuation that black people just commit more crimes.
:Also, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Black_Lives_Matter&diff=prev&oldid=968375259 submitting a request for retraction is not meaningfully different from the authors retracting their work] and [[WP:PACT|makes it hard]] to [[WP:AGF|assume]] that you were merely restoring the IP's talking points as purely a procedural matter.

== Center for Immigration Studies  ==

The way that the article appears without the word some is inaccurate and misleading. It is written in such a way as to omit the information that the Center for Immigration Reform are also scholars. That there are some scholars that disagree with the CIS does not give authority to their opposition.

Hello. I, too, am a bit suspicious of DotWhateverWiki's edits, as well as those by IndieQueenPDX, which seem to be almost entirely related to Logan Lynn. I've asked about their identity on their user talk page, and considered going to WP:COIN. A lot of the LL-related articles are ''way'' too detailed and promotional.

What I posted was on topic for the talk page and an attempt to help a fellow editor. If its wrong to express personal disappointment about a topic then it certainly isn't commonly enforced. I hope you understand this. Although looking at your history you seem to have an issue with professionalism and appear to create or at least thrive in wallowing among the very problems wikipedia supposedly is against so I am not too optimistic. Which is strange for someone who puts themselves forth as an enforcer of this site. Go ahead and censor if you wish. I barely edit anymore anyway.

:::::* 2017.07.14 - Angry user who apparently has a point to prove about... something... when their POV tag was removed. That went to AN/I; nothing happened.
:::::* 2017.08.31 - Sitush decides to come and start a fight. I refused to engage.  Guy Macon decided to get involved!  I said it using emoji, which I thought was clever.
:::::* 2018.09.24 - Darkness Shines, during one of their bad-faith episodes at Patrio Prayer. Note that Darkness Shines is now ''sitebanned'' for that type of behavior
:::::* 2018.02.02 - Darkness Shines, again, taking me to AN/EW, for the same behavior that got them site banned.

:::::* 2018.05.08 - A now-blocked user who also kept trying to rewrite the Incel article
:::::* 2018.07.09 - Sleyece, who has very strong opinions about a target of Gamergate, Anita Sarkeesian. I don't rightly remember this little dust up but there's a typical pattern.
:::::* 2018.09.07 - WillWill0415, an ideological warrior attempting to remove all instances of white supremacy from various articles.  WillWill, my friends, is ''san fran banned'' because of his behavior.
:::::* 2018.11.20 - Another Arbcom message
:::::* 2018.04.08 - To someone named "0pen$0urce" who apparently took issue with me removing their drive-by tags on Nathan Phillips and wanted to start a fight.
:::::* 2019.04.26 - Looks like a couple of folk who dislike that we use the Southern Poverty Law center and took issue with me removing excoriating forum posts and to tell me I "have bias".

:::::* 2019.05.26 - Some more folk mad about not being allowed to scream "bias" all over Patriot Prayer
:::::* 2019.05.27 - Someone's angry that I told Wumbolo (now blocked and banned for being racist) to "go away" from my talk page.  [[User:Liz|Liz]] expressed disappointment that I wouldn't engage civilly with them; I'm guessing that she didn't see or care about my response to her, which lies unanswered.

:::::* 2019.06.20 - Someone comes to my talk to be rude to me for dropping a template on them.
:::::* 2019.08.22 - Someone is mad that I reverted their edit warring.  They wouldn't give it up; decided to say that we were all against the spirit of wikipedia.  They had a cool story.
:::::* 2019.09.22 - Someone wants to yell at me for being in cahoots with corrupt editors who are male feminists and wanted to rant.  It was a cool story.

===Warning===
Hello, Jorm. Pursuant to the report at AE, you are formally warned against continued incivility, personal attacks or aspersions in the [[WP:ARBGG]] topic area. As a reminder, this extends to making any edit, or editing any page within the purview of ARBGG. This should be interpreted as a "final warning"; in other words, you are being issued a warning in lieu of any sanctions, with the understanding that continued violations may be met with sanctions without further warning. Virtually everyone seems to sympathize with you telling bigoted trolls to "fuck off", and this is not blind civility enforcement. Legitimate points were raised against simply giving you a pass, most notably the fact that your attacks were not strictly constrained to bigoted trolls and vandals, and that attacking said trolls and vandals is actually counterproductive because it rewards their trolling with the intended response and makes them feel like they succeeded by getting a rise out of someone. No one is asking you to lose your passion for combating hate on Wikipedia. You're simply being asked to self-correct the incivility, which has gone a bit too far beyond the line. Don't think of this as you getting screwed over, think of it as you being given a break because we get it. That certainly is the intent behind this warning. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, [[User:Swarm|<span style="color:black">'''~Swarm~'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Swarm|<span style="color:DarkViolet">{sting}</span>]]</sup> 00:27, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

:::I don't follow. This was about behavior in the ARBGG topic area, which includes GamerGate and all gender-related disputes and controversies. It should not be contentious that the relevant incidents fall within this subject area, so I'm not sure what you're suggesting. And, Jorm, it brings me no pleasure to be the one to deliver this warning, it was simply the only realistic conclusion based on the feedback. I think it was fairly lenient, and you should not be resentful about it. I don't think your "participation" was to blame, if anything, it was your ''lack'' of participation that forced the community's hand here.

It's lenient, it's relaxed, it's understanding, it's simply a minor check.

::::{{Yo|Swarm}} My second sentence above really just literally means that when I browsed through a bunch of the comments on the AE noticeboard related to Jorm, in no particular order, although I saw GamerGate mentioned I did not realize the scope of the matter was confined to GG (I think maybe I noticed it in the original report as the requested enforcement link, but I assumed it had expanded?), so I was surprised to see that as the fulcrum of the official warning.  Checking back, I think I may have misled myself because the first comment I read was Liz's starting with {{tqqi|Jorm has chosen to patrol some controversial articles...}} and hence thought a broader range of topics were involved.{{pb}}The description of diffs and the comments there do not mention things that seem particularly egregious to me, especially not in the context of GG or the kinds of things transphobes say in gender-related articles; so I'm having difficulty accepting that the community's hand was inexorably forced into placing Jorm into “final warning” precarity here.  (I'm sure you as the closer have done your job properly in carrying out consensus, though.)  But I haven't read through every diff and link, I don't have an admin's perspective on enforcement of conduct rules, and I'm not trying to re-litigate the AE discussion here: I'm just expressing solidarity with Jorm. --<span class="unicode" style="color:black;text-shadow:0.1em 0.1em 0.1em #777777">[[User:Struthious Bandersnatch|‿Ꞅ<span style="font-variant:small-caps">truthious</span> 𝔹<span style="font-variant:small-caps">andersnatch</span> ͡]]</span> [[User talk:Struthious Bandersnatch|&#124;℡&#124;]] 03:45, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Why was Kyle Rittenhouse removed? He has been charged with the shootings. It was specifically mentioned in the articles cited. I am not going to engage in a constant edit war, but his name should be specifically mentioned.

== NumbersUSA ==

Hi Jorm, by my count you reverted four times at [[NumbersUSA]], and the reverts in question don't appear to fall under any [[WP:3RRNO|3RR exemptions]]. I'm guessing you lost count of reverts there, and since multiple other editors were reverting the IP as well I'm just going to leave you this note and call this "done" from an administrative standpoint. Please be careful not to cross the 3RR line in the future. Best, [[User:GeneralNotability|GeneralNotability]] ([[User talk:GeneralNotability|talk]]) 20:43, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
:{{reply|GeneralNotability}} I believe the IP's behavior was ''obvious vandalism'', removing content that was part of a well settled consensus and sourced to multiple [[WP:RS]]. They've also continued on with personal attacks against Jorm [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:NumbersUSA&diff=prev&oldid=989256435], and then trying to accuse others of personal attacks and threatening to have people blocked [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AParler&type=revision&diff=989256349&oldid=989236056]. It's to the point where the [[NumbersUSA]] article is now semiprotected in case the IP tries to get around their block [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NumbersUSA&type=revision&diff=989236361&oldid=989235476].

You !voted a  [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/992017785?diffmode=source '''delete'''] in an AFD you opened, I don’t understand, isn’t opening an AFD in itself a crystal clear indication that you want the article deleted? or am I missing something?

Opening the AFD is "here is this article we should talk about"; making the !vote is me saying "And I think we should delete it."

Hi, you reverted my edits, and I can understand why. I was manually reverting 2 edits made months ago which did not seem to improve the article. By undoing those edits, I was taking the article towards a NPOV with my first edit. The second was more a matter of the previous editor not understanding how nationality works. The original edits are [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NXIVM&diff=prev&oldid=986057167] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NXIVM&diff=prev&oldid=986059420], made by an editor who has made many useless edits, said preposterous things on talk pages and has been warned many times that "fixed grammar" is not an all-purpose edit summary.

== Appeal of Discretionary Sanctions ==

How does one appeal? I'm just a lowly Wiki reader who makes the occasional edit. Seems mighty unfair to have these sanctions (whatever they are) imposed for bringing up an extremely valid point. So, how would I appeal these sanctions which have, in my opinion, been applied with a heavy and unaccountable hand?  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Mongoletsi|Mongoletsi]] ([[User talk:Mongoletsi#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Mongoletsi|contribs]]) 19:05, 2 June 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:[[User:Mongoletsi|Mongoletsi]]: You are not currently sanctioned, to my knowledge. That was a warning message to let you know that you are editing in an area that ''has'' defined sanctions.  It means that the area is watched heavily and if you are being disruptive in that area that sanctions will be applied, and swiftly, and that the severity of them are at the discretion of any administrator.
:Your edit was controversial and you must obtain consensus for it. Trying to bully it through will almost certainly result in you being blocked.  I can tell you right now, though, that there is ''extremely'' little chance of your edit sticking; 8chan is absolutely anti-semitic, and will likely always include that banner. Despite what you think or your gut thinks or you've been told on youtube, we follow what is true and verifiable. [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 19:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
::Thank you for clearing up the DS question. I've been on Wiki a long time; I agree that we should strive for neutral, verifiable articles.
::I consider the anti-semitism categorisation as bizarre; there's far more in the article about shootings, or Trump, for example. There's only one allusion towards anti-semitism, so question the rationale for the article being judged to be part of a series on anti-semitism. There are far more fitting categories. I'm keen to avoid slippery slope arguments, however I see one right ahead if we now categorise an article based on one mention alone, disregarding other more prominent categories.
::I did attempt to obtain consensus for the edit; I created a section on the talk page. Who gets to decide if the edit is controversial? I argue that this article is miscategorised as as an article on anti-semitism, and this is the controversial edit, not mine.

== BLM Manifesto and "Marxist" Ideals ==

Your response to my request that the Wikipedia BLM pages add mention of the co-founders' "Black Lives Matter Manifesto" is below... 

Jorm:
"Patricmcm please read the many, many, many archives where folk have come asking this (or a similar) question and are educated that the right-wing media "Marxist" claim is, in fact, not true, and is nearly always questioned and espoused by individuals who do not fully understand what Black Lives Matter is, what Marxism is, or both! Ke Akua Pū.--Jorm (talk) 17:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)BLM PAGE, May 22, 2021 

You responded with the above to my request that Wikipedia address an apparent oversight on its "Black Lives Matter" page by the inclusion of the organization's founding document, "The Black Lives Matter Manifesto" of 2014. The Manifesto was authored and presented by BLM co-founders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, who within the document espoused the beneficial applications of Marxist training in the struggle against "systemic racism." One need not be expert on either BLM or Marxism to perceive that any public descriptor of the organization, such as a Wikipedia page, with no mention of its founding document would benefit by its addition, much as discussions of the American Revolution benefit from inclusion of the Declaration of Independence. As to the co-founders appreciation of Marxism as a defining philosophy, one need only glance at the co-founders' originating cry, "Black! Queer! Marxist!"  The above is simply illustrative, factual information, and has been referred to forthrightly on numerous occasions by the co-founders themselves. Some may view Marxist theory through a darkened lens, but its tenets have proven valuable for more than a century in regards to the ignition and growth of revolutionary ideals.

== Executive Order 13985 ==

Hi, You rollbacked my revision on the ground that I used what you call « scare quotes » (here I go again) for the expression « systemic racism. » In this instance, the quotation marks were meant to indicate that the expression quoted appears as in in the text under discussion (the E.O.). That is a proper use of quotation marks. They can also be used for a number of other purposes, for instance to express doubts over the appropriateness of a term or the validity of a concept. These secondary and less formal uses should not displace the primary meaning of quotation marks, which is… to indicate that the delineated expression is a quote.
In addition, your rollback did not just remove these scary scare quotes, but also the rest of my edits, which I believe added clarity (and better grammar) to the article. I would appreciate your providing a reasoned explanation for this action, based on your reading of the Executive Order.
Thank you. [[User:Overpop|Overpop]] ([[User talk:Overpop|talk]]) 06:22, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

:You are writing in the lede and it doesn't appear to be a quote. It appears to be you making fun of the words, and that they're ironic.  Perhaps you do not understand the English language enough to understand this but the edit comes across as extremely partisan and bad-faith, and we do not truck with that here at Wikipedia. [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 06:47, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I am admittedly new at this and welcome constructive criticism. Also, I am indeed not a native English speaker and I am aware that my style can at times be somewhat laborious. On the other hand, I hold a J.D. from a T14 law school and I have every reason to believe that I understand nuances in written texts better than most native speakers.
1.What do you mean by « it doesn’t appear to be a quote? It *is* a quote! From section 1 of the order: « Our country faces converging economic, health, and climate crises that have exposed and exacerbated inequities, while a historic movement for justice has highlighted the unbearable human costs of systemic racism. » The point of using quotation marks is precisely to show the reader that the expression does not come out of a hat but is used in the original document, which matters in this case because, like it or not, « systemic racism » is a loaded expression. This is why the use of the term in the order is significant. The summary would be lacking if it did not convey that information to the reader.
2. « You are writing in the lede. » Is that so? Wouldn’t the lede in this instance be the introductory paragraph? The sentence we are discussing is in the body of the article. In any case, why should there not be a short quote in the lede?
3. If you honestly believe that most reasonable readers would conclude that the quotation marks are meant to make fun of the words « systemic racism, » then I guess they should be removed.
4. In any case, there is no reason to roll back the rest of my edit. The current version is a poorly written attempt at paraphrasing the order, the author having seemingly been under the impression that they needed to change words here and there to avoid plagiarism. But the order is a legal text and plagiarism issues don’t apply. On the contrary, the original text can and should be quoted liberally.
 [[User:Overpop|Overpop]] ([[User talk:Overpop|talk]]) 16:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

:I only got to the second sentence of that before I quit reading. I'll start with this: No one on Wikipedia cares the slightest bit about what degrees you hold.  They are meaningless here.  Attempting to appeal to them as an authority will get you nothing but ridicule.
:Second, putting scare quotes around two words is not a "quotation".  A quotation is a sentence that is attributed to a human being, not cut and paste words from dry text.
:I reverted everything at once b/c I saw nothing worth keeping at a glance, your edits were partisan, and from the fruit of a poison pen.  They may very well be good ''eventually'' but in the context of your previous work were not. 
:I suggest that you a) Learn more English and its idioms; and b) ''NOT'' edit in the American Politics area, because I don't think you know the language enough to do so. [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 17:28, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

== Reverted edits on antifeminism ==

Your reverts on [[Antifeminism]] are unconstructive, border on edit warring and contain aggressive summaries. Please take note of [[WP:DRIVEBY]], which states that my edits are perfectly constructive and should not be reverted. Consensus on the talk page is not required for pointing out unsourced claims as per [[wikipedia:Citation needed|WP:CITENEED]]. Furthermore, note that these are not drive by tags, as this article is a current project of mine to improve on (including finding sources for the tagged claims). See my previous edits and the talk page archive.

I have reviewed your contributions to this article, and came to the conclusion that you have quite a history of unconstructive edits, unpleasant summaries and show [[wikipedia:Ownership_of_content|WP:OWN]] behaviour. I will once again add the tags you that you reverted twice, and I expect you to not engage in edit warring. If you want to remove the tags, find reliable sources for the claims.

== Reliable source? ==

Hi, 

When Teri Polo is searched, this is the page that comes up. [https://www.google.com/search?q=teri+polo&oq=Teri+Polo&aqs=chrome.0.0i355i433i512j46i433i512j69i59l2j0i512l2j69i60l2.2602j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] What is a reliable source that can be used to update the birthdate and age?

:I don't know of one. That's why a reliable source is needed to add that information. The only way twitter could be used is if the tweet came from ''her'' account and that the account was ''also'' verified (and then it would fall into [[WP:ABOUTSELF]] territory).

::Hey Jorm, don't know if you recall me at all, but you are someone for whom I have a great deal of respect, and so I thought I'd swing by to see if you were around/what you're up to -- and then I see this.  I confess, I am intrigued; while I have my suspicions, why do you think the Mission can't be achieved?  Penny for your thoughts, I guess, and all the best.  [[User:Dumuzid|Dumuzid]] ([[User talk:Dumuzid|talk]]) 17:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
:::Hey @[[User:Dumuzid|Dumuzid]] - of course I remember you, and fondly!
:::To answer your question, this is a rant:
:::* There is no love lost between the Foundation and the Community. Neither seems willing to listen to the other.  
:::** (If anyone is gonna come and say "blah blah blah the Foundation broke the trust first blah blah blah" yeah yeah yeah stuff that up your ass I don't give a fuck, you're a hypocrite, don't come to me with it anymore)
:::* The Community automatically knee-jerk disbelieves anything said by the Foundation, about any research or points (c.f., the last time I tried to share any information, I was straight up called a ''liar'' by an ''administrator'' of this here place, who never apologized or received any sanctions, for it - the kind of language I would have been blocked for)
:::** Which speaks to the overwhelming hypocrisy in the Community: some are censured, others are not, and the Community only listens to the loudest idiots who say shit like "Wikipedia has cancer" or make transphobic "joke" articles, and then get super snow-flake offended and threaten arbitration when called out on it.
:::*** Why in fuck would I - or anyone else - want to continue to engage with any of that?
:::* The Community is incapable of policing itself and the Foundation is incapable of policing the Community.
:::** There are absolutely different rules for different classes of folk and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. As a former Foundation employee, I fall into the bottom of the lowest class, so I get to see it first hand. As probably the only one who did, ask me why so few former WMF employees continue to work as a volunteer! The answer may surprise you! (it probably won't).
:::*** "We didn't want you anyway blah blah blah" yeah yeah yeah prove my point for me
:::* The Foundation hasn't done jack or shit to actually solve any of the interface or process problems that have existed for decades - only attempted to apply band-aids or patches to a deeply broken system - and they do so with only cowardice, afraid to upset a handful of vocal Community members.
:::** Everyone knows what needs to be done.  They've known for a decade or more. I know they know, because I was there. Yet you're still stuck with this shitty Vector skin and shitty, barely helpful improvements upon it - and let's be very clear that Vector was designed and implemented by someone who ''never interacted with the the community'', ''never edited'' and ultimately ''never used the product''.  Ask how the design for the "visual editor" went down, ask how many of those actually used or edited Wikipedia.
:::*** (Spoiler: the answer is zero.  At one point they threw a token "Wikipedian" on the project, but they were just a yes-person about it, so what was the point of that?  Waste of time, waste of money, who cares.)
:::* WMF trust and safety is a fucking joke. Ask me how many death threats I've gotten, or how many "Community" members have called my places of employment - even years after I've been gone - to try to get me fired for being "racist".  ''DEATH THREATS'' were fucking ignored.
:::* A small handful of Community members are perfectly happy to allow literal Nazis to run a lot of conversations and no one sees anything wrong with that.
:::** Woe betide you if you try to fight this because Wikipedia's bullshit rules are set up to enable bad-actors and punish the sentinels. I'm done with wasting my time on that.
:::* No one has any moral courage whatsoever and without that nothing is going to happen or change; this is just a death spiral.
:::** Don't believe me, though!  There are plenty of charts and graphs to show it to you!
:::This got away from me. I apologize. [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 20:33, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
::::Pre-emptively, for all the responses I'm not going to read:  "Cool story, bro." [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 20:40, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
::::Also this:  I think a lot of people - perhaps most - have either ''forgotten'' what the Mission is, or never understood it to begin with.
::::"To bring the sum of human knowledge to everyone everywhere for free" is an insanely radical, progressive, and inarguably political act.  But further:  it is not the Mission; it cannot be.  It is a ''mechanism by which the Mission is achieved''.  The Mission is ''implicit'' in the goals of the mechanism.
::::"We're not political!"  Bullshit. There is absolutely ''nothing'' more political than educating everyone.  There is a reason that autocrats and MAGA deplorables don't want folk educated, why they don't want things like ''actual American history'' taught in schools:  because education is progressive by nature, and progressive is political.
::::So fuck off all ya'll with the whole "we're not political".  Politics is the art of society; you can't avoid it; the very nature of encyclopedias are radically political and ''have been'' for ''centuries''. [[User:Jorm|Jorm]] ([[User talk:Jorm#top|talk]]) 20:55, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
:::::Hey Jorm -- first of all, agree entirely.  Aristotle knew that everything people do is inherently political, but apparently people need more than two millennia to fully grasp that.  And thanks for all of that; the rant is essentially what I was looking for.  It's very much as I suspected, but you obviously have a lot more visibility into inner workings.  That said, I would mirror almost all of these complaints in microcosm.  I am terribly curious about the tension between the foundation and the community, as it is so far outside my Wiki experience, but I won't ask.  I will say that it does sometimes feel like playing by the rules is ceding territory to those with less benign motives.  I am also sorry to hear about trust and safety--it feels like that sort of awfulness is everywhere these days.  I honestly don't know how transparency and safety can co-exist right now, and they're two things I highly value (though safety obviously wins).  At any rate, I am glad you're around in some way.  I pre-emptively apologize if this draws dissenting opinions, but approve of your answer.  Have a great weekend, and thanks in general.  Cheers.

== Talk pages as new-editor blocks ==

So I saw [[Wikipedia talk:Signatures/Archive 14#jorm-2021-05-27--19-27|your comments on Talk pages]], via a link on {{U|Enterprisey}}'s page, and... I specifically went looking for that information. Years ago. Unsuccessfully. So when I (re) wrote an essay, [[WP:Encourage the newcomers]], on the basis of what I found, it did not include anything about talk pages. Admittedly, changing the talkpage UI is not something an individual editor can do, but any major cause of new-editor loss deserves mention in that essay scope. I've just added some content on talkpage UIs to the essay; I'd very much welcome any edits, expansions, or comments you think appropriate (ditto {{u|Whatamidoing (WMF)}}, or anyone else with useful knowledge). I've also started digging for some of the 2020s testing of reply tools etc..

I've had enough feedback from other editors over the years on that essay (including in the current top section at [[Wikipedia talk:MED|WP:MED]]), that I can safely say that there are other community members who really do care about this. And I misinformed them by omission. I'll try to fix. Ignorance of the data we are using to choose goals just really can't help, with anything.
