On 20 June 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article 2023 Titan submersible incident, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 14:42, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on 2023 Fort Worth shooting requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
A couple of sources with significant coverage would overcome WP:NEWS. It appears to have no lasting effect and should either be deleted or added to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2023.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Sincerely, Key of G Minor. Tools: (talk, contribs) 21:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

The article Barbie Kardashian case has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Does not seem to be notable via WP:GNG, and is based entirely on a singular source considered non-reliable per WP:RSP
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ForsythiaJo (talk) 21:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

If you have a problem with another use, then please take it elsewhere than on an article's talk page. The goal of the talk page for an article is to improve the article. Making false claims against another editor is not permissible. To quote from WIAPA: Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links.
To quote from an example at ASPERSIONS: Legitimate concerns of fellow editors' conduct should be raised either directly with the editor in question, in a civil fashion, or if necessary on an appropriate noticeboard or dispute-resolution page.
Falsely claiming that another user is leading other editors is a problem. Falsely claiming that another user made edits that they did not is a problem. I will say that I believe that the discussion has become heated at times, but everyone needs to be more cautious about remaining civil. --Super Goku V (talk) 04:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
What two false accusations?The two I removed from your comment on the talk page. Regarding the other article, your words were incorrect then. On the Lewiston talk page, you said that the user added the information to the article. Here you are saying they only discussed it on the talk page. That is a very key difference. Claiming that someone added info to the article is very different than someone discussing adding the information on the talk page. Regarding the second part, there is a difference being someone being active on a talk page and someone organizing users. Just be careful with how you word it. Regarding anything else, my first sentence from this discussion applies: ((If you have a problem with another [user], then please take it elsewhere than on an article's talk page.)) I get that the other users are saying stuff on that talk page. But that is from comments made to that talk page alone, not from issues elsewhere on the site. If you believe that a user is causing problems, then you should make a report to an appropriate noticeboard. (That was why I said
everyone needs to be more cautious, but I guess I was not clear enough about things. Sorry for the trouble there.) --Super Goku V (talk) 08:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:2023 Lewiston shootings. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Please and thank you. --Super Goku V (talk) 10:15, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
[...] only contributor to the discussion who's breaking the rules by repeatedlypart. If so, then you should bring it up with administrators or a noticeboard if you feel it is a problem instead of on the article's talk page.
You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the ((Ctopics/aware)) template.

Apparently, you created the Egbekaw massacre article the same very minute that I wrote in my edit summary that we might need a separate article for the massacre. I can definitely get used to that :P Thank you, and cheers! Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
