References on date articles
If you're going to try to enforce references being required for every entry on every date article, you're going to have a long road ahead of you. In the future, it might be more effective to check the linked article and simply grab any refs from there. It would save you pointlessly reverting legit edits. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 23:58, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nihonjoe, per WP:ONUS, not my problem. Elizium23 (talk) 00:03, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, yes, pass the buck. Great way to deal with people. Have a nice day. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:20, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nihonjoe, while I would be warmed by your solicitude for my workload, I can tell it is disingenuous, because your proposed solution would increase it 3x-4x. I would be interested to hear from Toddst1 who commended me for my work recently on WP:RSN.
- And I would also turn this around on you, to say that "if editors are going to try to insert unsourced material in entries on every date article, they're going to have a lot of reverts ahead of them. In the future, it might be more effective for them to check the linked article, grab refs from there, and add it along with the entry. It would save them pointlessly receiving warnings."
- I will continue to enforce WP:V in my own way. It would seem that if I did other people's work for them, they wouldn't get the picture that policy has changed now and references are required. This is simply an uncomfortable period of growing pains. Elizium23 (talk) 00:40, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- The reference was in the article that was linked. As I said, start removing everything that doesn't have a reference on those articles and I'll believe your sincerity. If you aren't going to do that, then you're simply being disingenuous. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nihonjoe, dude, you of all people should know that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Policy has changed. At one time, those list articles were allowed to not have references. That's why they are in the current state. We are bringing them into compliance with WP:V now because WP:Consensus can change, do you get the picture?
- Now I'm not a disruptive vandal troll and I'm not removing all unsourced content from the articles because of WP:PRESERVE. So stop fooling around with the fake solutions already! Elizium23 (talk) 00:48, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Did I state Wikipedia is a reliable source? No. I said the reference for the information I added was found in the linked article, not that the linked article was being cited. I wouldn't have added it if it wasn't cited in the article. If you're bringing them into compliance with WP:V, then you must remove all the uncited material, even if it's just moving it to the article talk page until such time as references can be found. This isn't a fake solution. I'm merely asking you to be consistent rather than only going after new stuff that would take you all of 30 seconds to fix. If you're trying to fix things, don't do it piecemeal. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:58, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nihonjoe, since I would never make such drastic changes without obtaining consensus, I have opened an RFC according to your sincere wishes. Elizium23 (talk) 01:07, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

- Following the ping that brought me here: So, I believe I saw @Nihonjoe:'s edit to the DOY page in question without a source, but I chose not to revert it. Why? Well Nihonjoe has been around here forever and is one of the most solid editors you'll find. When I see a veteran like him contravene WP:DOYCITE, I assume that:
- They probably were unaware of the change creating WP:DOYCITE
- There probably is a source somewhere
- Given the editor's tenure, they probably deserve the benefit of the doubt.
- You may notice that there is a group of us (masochists) going through and trying to fix up these DOY pages as discussed here. We've knocked a few out and have quite a few to to go - and welcome help. So in the spirit of fixing up these pages and respect for the veteran editors who are usually unaware of the change and frankly skeptical at the size of the task, I'll usually try to find a source for the veteran editor and when I do, leave the editor a polite note. Yes this is a double standard, but I think it helps veterans buy in to the change and, as as you've seen from Nihonjoe's comments, he's a bit skeptical. In this case, I believe the edit in question could have been supported by a reference on the linked page, but I was unsure of its reliability, so I asked for some opinions at Wikipedia_talk:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#The_Encyclopedia_of_Science_Fiction, which seem to validate the source. Unfortunately I've been a bit busy today and haven't been able to circle back and add the source, and it looks like Elizium23, with all good intentions just reverted it. You were not at all wrong but I understand why Nihonjoe might have his feathers ruffled. I hope this helps. Toddst1 (talk) 01:59, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- As Toddst1 note, I did get my feathers ruffled a bit at the way the reverts were done. I'm fine if there's a requirement for including a source on these pages, but there didn't used to be as long as the article had a source for the information (I think because they didn't want some of the pages to have hundreds or thousands of citations, which would likely at least double the size of the pages given how many short entries there are on those pages). And as Todd noted, I had not been aware WP:DOYCITE was even a thing until this came up. Rather than complaining about "increasing workload" (since this is a volunteer-run site, and any person's workload is exactly as light or heavy as they desire), taking the 30 seconds it would take to fix it, and then advise me of the guideline I apparently wasn't aware of would have been a better way to handle it. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:00, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Reversion of Tulsi Gabbard minor edit
Hi Elizium, I noticed you reverted my removal of an unproven assertion in a biographical page of a political person (Tulsi Gabbard). We seem to disagree on the validity of the claim so could you quote the part of the cited article that shows its source since I didn't find one. Otherwise it would be inappropriate to put this claim in a living person's page.

Jannat Rahmani
Hey, why my edit of Jannat Zubair Rahmani is getting deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SharonAnama (talk • contribs) 05:17, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Because it cited an unreliable source. If you take the very source that's found in her article to cite her birthdate, then that would be acceptable instead. Elizium23 (talk) 05:21, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
Ok can you tell me what's a reliable source? Some link or guidelines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SharonAnama (talk • contribs) 05:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
A new editor keeps restoring material I had previously removed because it cited unreliable self-published sources (mostly blog posts) that did not even back up the relevant claims. Their very last edit summary was "drop it, dude" in Greek. Would you perhaps have any suggestions on how to handle this matter? --Omnipaedista (talk) 12:19, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Omnipaedista, finding other editors to help is good. You could also request page protection. Or you could post an appeal at a noticeboard. Elizium23 (talk) 16:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Please consider my resolution of the report as a warning- there needs to be a talk page discussion between the two of you. You have reverted just as much as the other user. 331dot (talk) 09:28, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I am not sure what this edit summary means. Could you please elaborate? --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:25, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- So here's what I thought, is that the "jurisdiction" field was an automatically parsed one that had to be of a certain value. That it governed the color or layout or something based on a switch. But it does not. So I have reverted myself because the proper wording of the infobox depends on that. Sorry for the confusion. Elizium23 (talk) 14:59, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

>>>Your "edit war" notice on my Talk page
Are you serious? It is not an edit war at all. Look again. It's a vandal! Thus far, one other editor agrees with my pronunciation of "Colchester", and so do a whole load of local people in Colchester who appear in a video at which I pointed Kevin McE (this one); they consistently say "/ˈkoʊltʃɪstər/", as does the voice in the audio file that has been with this article for years. Those recordings are proof. Kevin McE has presented none. We cannot even know whether he really has lived in Colchester for 20 years (I suspect not if he doubts the pronunciation that all those people in the video use, and which I have myself known since before I started school). Please research the matter yourself before you make such accusations. And, don't you rather think it's the editor who calls another editor a "racist wanker" – as Kevin McE called me – who needs a lecture?
There is no edit war here. I have tried presenting evidence to Kevin McE, but he just won't have it; he has only called me names. He might think that this is some kind of game.
And, oh yes, I shall be reverting Kevin's vandalism once again because I have proved true the information that he has deleted. Kelisi (talk) 22:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Sedition Caucus
Hi Eliziun,
I understand that my recent edit of the Sedition Caucus article violated WP:REFERS, but after a talk page discussion I believe the consensus is that REFERS does not apply because that would violate WP:BLPPUBLIC. That said, I was the one who changed the consensus, so I might not have the best judgement as to what the consensus is. Is there a part of Wikipedia policy I am misunderstanding, and if so which one?

Flag Icon
Hello, you have undone my edit of in the article Larry J. Kulick. Originally you stated it was because it was the incorrect flag. After I reverted your edit because the Holy See flag is the standard flag used to represent the distinction on Wikipedia (see Category:Knights of the Holy Sepulchre), you changed your justification. I do not believe your new reasoning of "Do not use subnational flags without direct relevance" which you directed me to is relevant in this case. The flag of Vatican City and the Holy See is neither subnational or supranational, it is national. Additionally, the MOS that you directed me to supports the use of the flag in this case when it states, "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject officially represents that country or nationality – such as military units or national sports teams."--Gri3720 (talk) 13:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Controversies about Opus Dei
I do not understand why you removed citations. For example, in the sentence that ends "have been published" you removed the actual places where they have been published. This makes the statement unsubstantiated, lowering the scholarly quality of the page rather than raising it. The other editor just re-formatted things that needed re-formatting. So if your concern was about the formatting of those citations I gather you would have fixed the formatting. What, then, is your objection to the citations I put in?
In another example, you both removed the citation and changed the verb of a sentence to make the sentence inaccurate. The sentence said "targeting," and you replaced that with "approaching." The source I had linked to was a report of a strategy being laid out to garner new members for the group. Approaching was not the topic.
In a third case you removed a citation from a newspaper article wherein was reported the statement that the article says has been reported. Again, leaving the statement unsubstantiated. I do not understand why an editor would do this.
You did the same in a couple of other cases.
Please explain your rationale for each of the things you removed. Wikipedia exists to provide information to the public.
I noticed that your affiliations say Knights of Columbus, and it is public knowledge that the head of Knights of Columbus was, until about a week ago, a member of Opus Dei (Carl Anderson). I would not like to think that an editor is trying to prevent information concerning controversies about Opus Dei from reaching the public because he wants to use the page as PR for Opus Dei.
I myself am not affiliated with the "survivor networks" of former members and am not any of the people cited in the article. I have expertise and interest in the history and sociology of religion.

Ieronymos II of Athens
Hello Elizium23,
1. I had contributed to the article of Ieronymos II of Athens with the following text:
Ieronymos has however since developed a more Islamophobic view and fueled racism against muslims by stating in an interview with Open TV on Saturday 16th of January 2021 that "Because we know that Islam and its people is not a religion. The believers are people of war."[8][9] These islamophobic remarks sparked outrage within the muslim community across the world, who considers Islam to be a peaceful religion. This forced the Church of Greece to apologize in a statement on Sunday 17th of January 2021. [10]
2. You removed the whole text, with the following motivation:
Hello, I'm Elizium23. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ieronymos II of Athens seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
3. I believe you are partially correct, especially with regards to the choice of loaded formulated phrases such as "... since developed a more Islamophobic view and fueled racism against muslims ..." and ... , who considers Islam to be a peaceful religion ...
4. While these statements might be correct, or not, the rest of the text together with the sources ought to be put back. The text would then instead contain the following facts: Ieronymos has however since stated in an interview with Open TV on Saturday 16th of January 2021 that "Because we know that Islam and its people is not a religion. The believers are people of war."[8][9] These remarks sparked outrage within the muslim community across the world, who considered the statements to be Islamophobic. The Church of Greece later on made a regretting statement on Sunday 17th of January 2021. [10]
5. Will you restore the edited text, or should I?
Thank you,

Rollback
It looks like you're using the Rollback privilege to revert edits you don't agree with. That is not a proper use for Rollback, and could result in it being taken away from you. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:27, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Baseball Bugs, false: The above restrictions apply to standard rollback, using the generic edit summary. If a tool or manual method is used to add an appropriate explanatory edit summary (as described in the Additional tools section below), then rollback may be freely used as with any other method of reverting.

Avril Lavigne
I must say I find it a little strange that you've edited Avril Lavigne before but only five minutes after my edit, you decided to take issue with the wording and attribution (or lack thereof) of the "Artistry" subsection. I don't know if you were intending to partially cite WP:NPOV at me or it was only said in general, but I only tweaked the grammar and punctuation therein—I didn't write the section and couldn't care less what happens to it. Just in case there was any doubt on your part. Ss112 04:55, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Re:June 2021
This is in reference to your message sent to me, this is to inform you that Sede Vacante is over once an archbishop or an ordinary has been appointed to a see or to an archdiocese so technically by CHURCH RULES, it's no longer Sede Vacante, it will only revert to Sede vacante once the ordinary nominated/elected dies or renders his resignation. Please do research further on the these because we worked for the institution that we are maintaining in this article. In addition, the materials is already in the news if you want me to put it each, I'll put it there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.146.46.142 (talk) 17:01, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- No, actually sede vacante persists until the bishop is installed. In fact, a priest can be appointed without yet being ordained a bishop, how could he possibly be in office before his ordination? Canon Law is clear on this. Elizium23 (talk) 17:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- 1983 Code of Canon Law
- Can. 382 §1 A person who is promoted to the episcopate cannot become involved in the exercise of the office entrusted to him before he has taken canonical possession of the diocese. However, he is able to exercise offices which he already held in the same diocese at the time of his promotion, without prejudice to can. 409 §2.
- §2 Unless he is lawfully impeded, one who is not already consecrated a Bishop and is now promoted to the office of diocesan Bishop, must take canonical possession of his diocese within four months of receiving the apostolic letters. If he is already consecrated, he must take possession within two months of receiving the apostolic letters.
- §3 A Bishop takes canonical possession of his diocese when, personally or by proxy, he shows the apostolic letters to the college of consultors, in the presence of the chancellor of the curia, who makes a record of the fact. This must take place within the diocese. In dioceses which are newly established he takes possession when he communicates the same letters to the clergy and the people in the cathedral church, with the senior of the priests present making a record of the fact.
- §4 It is strongly recommended that the taking of canonical possession be performed with a liturgical act in the cathedral church, in the presence of the clergy and the people. Elizium23 (talk) 17:23, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Isn't Advincula the Archbishop-elect of Manila? If you cannot provide sources that he is otherwise, then please refrain from removing the said info in the article that says that he is Manila's archbishop-elect.

- Again, I'm sorry but it appears that you can't prove that he isn't an archbishop-elect. While I agree that until Advincula's installation, he has nothing to with the Manila, the table column, however, tells only about their appointment date, not installation. It seems you are lost.

Reversion of Change from Comedienne to Comedian (Vanessa Bayer)
Hello, you reverted my edit to Vanessa Bayer's page. I'm a bit confused about it though. I'm not very experienced with wikipedia, so I apologize for any ignorance on my part, but I'm wondering on what grounds you wish to have the page refer to her as a "comedienne". To me this seems to be an archaic term and one that is not used very frequently to refer to female comedians on wikipedia or elsewhere. I checked the pages of other comedians like Aidy Bryant, Leslie Jones, Amy Schumer, Amy Poehler and Samantha Bee and only Samantha Bee was referred to as a "comedienne". (And her page used to refer to her as a comedian, just as Vanessa Bayer's used to. Both were edited without explanation.) Reliable sources, at least the ones cited on her page, refer to her as a comedian several times but never as a "comedienne".Fleural (talk) 04:13, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
Regarding sources
About this diff, it seems like an important event for the project. What would you suggest to do, so that it can be inserted into the article?

Hello, I was not disrespecting you, I'm very sorry if you had felt that I was disrespecting you.

Please go through this WP:CENSOR, Wikipedia is never to be censored. And for the points that I included please go through this article by an established and reliable new source "the Wire" (https://m.thewire.in/article/religion/kerala-syrian-christians-caste-anti-muslim-rhetoric), This clearly specifies the Knanaya relation to Assyrians and Jews.

Article Greta Thunberg : puzzled by removal of father's name in infobox in English version
Hello, Elizium23
As I only saw a talk link to Kirkgaard on your 13 January 2021 reversion of good faith edits to suppress Greta Thunberg's father name in infobox, I am adding this entry trying to understand the Wikipedia rationale. Does the indication "Non-notable per talk" signifies that her father's notoriety did not warrant posting in infobox, whereas it appears in the Early Life section ? In such case why does it still appear in the French, Spanish or Swedish infoboxes for instance ?

The judgementalism and partisanship displayed by editors who force their political framing this way is shining through in this article, especially in light of recent edits and expansions. It's reprehensible that POV is pushed, and pushed, and pushed more by those who continually return to the most liberal progressive sources they can get their hands on and claim that all the RS are framing it that way.
is a comment on a group of contributors.Yeah, it also means that you prejudge reliability of sources by your ideological litmus tests, and by selective review of them you come to foregone conclusions that all the reliable world agrees with your viewpoints as you wish to force them into the public square like this
is directly aimed at a single editor.I think you've given me this warning in bad faith
Accusing others of bad faith is usually construed as a personal attack.- Please note that Talk:Alliance Defending Freedom is under the aegis of three separate sets of discretionary sanctions and editors are expected to follow closely with our conduct policies in these controversial topic areas. Sideswipe9th (talk) 04:27, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
- Actually it's not aimed at a single editor. In English, "you" can be a plural pronoun, and I frequently use "you" to refer to groups of people, so this was also a comment on a group of contributors, that being the entire group of contributors who edit this topic area.
- Also, "I think" means that I have a feeling, and not an accusation. That's my POV. I'm not accusing HEB of bad faith, I'm suggesting that that may be on the table because of the situation we're in right now.
