Yup, I thanked him for his edit and am about to reply on his talk page – the Mail appears to be intent on establishing its gutter press credentials, and if Dacre authorised the doorstepping then he's a 'double you-know-what', as well as a hypocritical slipper farmer! JezGrove (talk) 22:59, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Do you think any Admin action is needed. Perhaps one of the RfC closing admins? There's a current thread open at User talk:Jimbo Wales about the whole thing, but Mr Wales himself has not made any comment, so far. It's obvious that "the press" have just singled Hillbilly out as a scapegoat as he's the one who dared to open the RfC and have his name at the top. Seems just a trifle unfair. People might start to think their identities were not safe. Maybe the Mums of all the others who !voted will getting a knock on the door? Martinevans123 (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

With my own humble edit count, I've no idea about how the Admin stuff on WP works. Exposure, via the 'responsible' media, of the Mail's intimidating tactics would be the way I'd go - together with any official complaint likely to have an effect. If Jimbo and the Foundation can put that in train, then so much the better! JezGrove (talk) 23:24, 14 February 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As an afterthought, I'd also try to get the police to move the doorsteppers on - from my own experience (don't ask!) the law on 'obstruction' seems to prevent anyone from staying on a public footpath once they have been asked to 'move on' by a member of the police, and no argument that you are standing in a public place appears to prevail!

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your quality of contributions. Thank you for the great endeavors! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Clovermoss submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate JezGrove for the Editor of the Week Award. JezGrove has made over 10,000 edits, but it is the quality of their contributions that shines through, not just the numerical value itself. More than 4,800 of their edits are over 1,000 bytes, and their contributions to mainspace are absolutely phenomenal. They have created 35 articles, some of my personal favourites of articles they've worked on being Let Toys Be Toys, Women of the Year Lunch and Emma Sophia Galton. JezGrove has also made substantial contributions that improve the quality of pre-xisting articles, including articles like Buglife, Life in Squares, and The Lego Group. What I have chosen reflects just a handful of their vast contributions to the encyclopedia. Their work is amazing, and I believe that they should be recognized through the Editor of the Week Award.

Conflict of Interest?

Hello, JezGrove. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the ((request edit)) template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 11:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Deb,

Just for the record, I have never been paid or requested to create or edit any page on Wikipedia and none of my edits have been on pages related to myself, my family, or my "friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors". Indeed, just last month I added comments to two related talk pages mentioning a recently published book that I thought might be a useful source for them, and declared my COI. (See [here] and [here].)

I have never personally met or spoken to anyone whose article I have edited with the exceptions of: 1) Former NASA astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan, who I met for about 90 seconds in March this year after her talk at the Royal Institution, when she signed a book for my space-obsessed daughter and allowed me to take a photo of them both. You can find my edits to the page here. 2) Former Teletubby (!) Nikky Smedley, who I have very occasionally met socially although not for many years. When I first saw the WP article about her (about five years ago), some of the language struck me as a little self-promotional and I flagged this up, together with my COI, to User:Martinevans123. Since then, I have added an external link (to the British Film Institute), replaced a ‘citation needed’ with a reference (one of only three in the entire article), and reverted some unexplained deletions. My edits are here.

I am a subscriber to Jerry Coyne's website Why Evolution is True and frequently comment below the line. These interactions are with other readers of the website and not directly with its author, and generally involve me making stupid jokes or adding links to topics under discussion. Like many regular readers of Coyne’s website, I have emailed him with links to stories about science, cats (!), or current events that may be interest for inclusion in his posts, and have submitted photos for his 'Photos of Readers' feature. The friend who introduced me to the website, Dom, is one of many people thanked in the Acknowledgments section of one of Coyne's books – something I only discovered when I read the book myself, as Dom had never mentioned the fact to me. I don’t know how many times the two of them have met, but Coyne is aware that Dom and I know each other and asked after Dom’s health during the first UK lockdown when he hadn’t heard from him for a while. My edits to Coyne’s article are here.

I recently created the article about Matthew Cobb. Like many of the Wikipedia articles I have created, I went to add a detail to a page only to find it didn’t exist and eventually got around to putting that right. I have never met, spoken to, emailed, or had any other correspondence with him. From Jerry Coyne’s website, I am aware that he and Cobb are friends; my friend Dom has also met Cobb although, again, I have no idea of the details. (Dom has a keen amateur interest in science and attends a lot of lectures and the subsequent book signings – indeed, he was there when I and my daughter met Kathy D. Sullivan!)

I have exchanged emails with the author Linda Grant – on both occasions (two years apart) it was related to the fact that I had gone to her publisher’s website to find information for Wikipedia about her latest book only to find that the website was years out of date. My edits to the article are here.

I hope that has clarified everything. JezGrove (talk) 18:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks, that's great. I had just wondered why you were adding Matthew Cobb to all the year and date pages. Deb (talk) 18:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I realize this is in response to something from a few years ago, but the Strickland deletion had nothing to do with notability. As the notice on SteplightJohnson's talkpage makes quite explicit: the deletion was because SteplightJohnson had copied-and-pasted the content of Strickland's entry on the Optical Society's official website, verbatim. This was a flagrant breach of our policies on copyright.

The notice further told SJ how to properly contest the deletion, a path SJ chose to not pursue. DS (talk) 20:46, 25 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also, the source you provided for this is Abigail Shrier's substack, and the only other place I've seen it is the Daily Mail - neither of those is a reliable (usable) source. Newimpartial (talk) 19:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Once again, this would be more appropriately discussed at the article's own talk page. For what it's worth, and this isn't a phrase is heard often enough on Wikipedia, but here I am saying it nevertheless: on reflection I believe that you are right in that my talk page post at LGB Alliance wasn't closely enough related to that article.

I'm very well aware that (former) WP editor Hillbillyholiday successfully got the Daily Mail listed as an unreliable source. (He emailed me when his mother's house was doorstepped by what he described as then-editor Paul Dacre's "goons" shortly afterwards.) The fact that Abigail Shrier's piece (actually published on Bari Weiss' Substack, as it happens) hasn't been picked up more widely by the liberal press is a shame. Bower is a very important voice in her field, and Shrier and Weiss are legitimate authors too - regardless of whether or not you like their opinions.

Anyway, very best wishes, Newimpartial. In future, can we please discuss these issues on the relevant article's talk page. Not least so that other editors can listen and learn. JezGrove (talk) 20:21, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the "Thanks" you just sent me Newimpartial, but a public and transparent acknowledgment here would have been preferable. JezGrove (talk) 20:35, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. on reflection I believe that you are right is perhaps the most precious phrase one can ever hear on WP. Newimpartial (talk) 20:37, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cheers. Not sure if you will have seen Jools last night, but the incomparable Gregory Porter not only did a rockin' version of "My Babe", but he also did a blissfully sparse version of this one. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

After adding a section on doubts about whether she expressed doubt about eugenics, I looked through the history of her page and noticed you had added the claim in dispute. I figured I should let you know. 208.59.185.238 (talk) 03:30, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
