Howdy. FWIW, I think you might've meant "United Kingdom", rather than "Great Britain" in your RFC close. We can't leave out Northern Ireland. Also, clarity concerning the infobox status, might be required. GoodDay (talk) 23:35, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, not sure how I made that mistake. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:44, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. There's a lot of folks out there in the real world, who use "England" instead of the United Kingdom. GoodDay (talk) 23:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note, I've re-implemented the RFC result. But, I do think you might want to keep an eye on the situation. GoodDay (talk) 02:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please step in & clarify your RFC closure? There's a dispute over what your decision means. GoodDay (talk) 21:03, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SFR,

What’s the template that admins subst to inform people of topic bans? I noticed a minor error in wording and want to make a template-protected-error-request on its talk page to earn brownie points toward eventually becoming a template editor.

Is ((AE sanction/topicban)) what you're asking about? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He is the author of Screams Without Words. Should his article be subject to Arbcom I/P restrictions? Also I think this kind of edit summary is suboptimal, as is the edit. BLP I think requires that a more balanced portrayal of the Gettleman article be included, especially that the Times stands by that story, criticism notwithstanding, but I'm assuming 1RR applies. Coretheapple (talk) 14:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a clarification and a warning and protected the page for a year. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll put a suitable template on the talk page. Coretheapple (talk) 16:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. You were the blocking admin for this guy, Special:Contributions/Snugglewasp, a Bareham Oliver sock. Although blocked for other reasons, I'd lay money on Troll name 1 and Troll name 2 being the same guy (would be happy to show my working in email on that one). And now we have a succession of Virgin media accounts asserting the same kinds of edits. The latest being this one Special:Contributions/82.18.162.80. I can't open an SPI against an IP, but note that they have just tried to remove text from the Lucy Letby article that Bareham Oliver socks heavily edit warred over before, and when I reverted, they just reverted me back (per usual MO) and talking about Richard Gill (against whom they have a vendetta). Any chance you could take a look please? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taken care of. I think I got it all cleaned up, too. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. Have a good weekend. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:34, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions? Selfstudier (talk) 15:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Selfstudier, definitely, but I'm too busy right now to pull the perm and write up a message. Please bring it to AN or another admin, or I'll take care of it in a few hours. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No rush, just so you are aware. Selfstudier (talk) 16:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on whether to PROD or RPP Vishuddhananda Paramahansa? One of the two needs to occur, and I can't decide which action to follow through on. Zinnober9 (talk) 15:34, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was already prodded, would need AfD. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per this edit. I do not believe this to be the case, as my comments are on topic, only engaging with this user and remain in an acceptable quantity (IMO). As both bludgeoning and falsely accusing someone of bludgeoning are not appropriate, I would greatly appreciate your assessment. FortunateSons (talk) 14:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No that is not bludgeoning in the slightest seems tbh he’s just at this point gas lighting •Cyberwolf•talk? 16:58, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure this fits under the broadly construed piece of WP:ARBPIA and it isn't ECP at this moment. Just wanted to flag this for you here. Thanks! ~~ Philipnelson99 (talk) 19:02, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ScottishFinnishRadish: There's been quite a bit of flare ups around this article again after some meatpuppetry organized on Twitter and you've been helpful in untangling things and keeping civil in the past. Wondering if you would mind taking a look at both the article talk thread (originally the result of meatpuppetry, subsequently ECP which was helpful, so now just OrcaLord and I mostly) and the appeal of the enforcement. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 14:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it absolutely necessary for editors to use edit summaries to accuse other editors of lying?[1] referring to [2] Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 15:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasnt accusing you of lying, I was saying the claims of beheaded babies were a lie. But is it appropriate to put "allegations" for something that has been conclusively proven to have been a lie? If we're going to come running to SFR's talk page every issue we have, maybe he could remark on the POV editing of claiming a proven lie is an "allegation". nableezy - 15:10, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You said "no that isnt neutral, that is a lie." Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 15:15, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is not neutral to call a lie an allegation. The second that, along with the these after that, is in reference to the material, the first that is in reference to your prior edit summary in which you claimed calling a lie an allegation is neutral. nableezy - 15:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well the "allegation" wording in question has been there since early January, such that one can argue it was consensus wording, and was changed today (by another editor). So it is not as if I dreamed up that word and stuck it in. I was reverting back to the long-used wording. As for "lie," maybe you can utilize less overheated language in your edit summaries and not accuse other editors of either lying or promoting lies. Either is unecessarily combative. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 15:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You claimed it was more neutral to call what has been proven to be false, repeatedly, an "allegation". I said that it is not more neutral to call lies allegations. I did not accuse you of lying or even of promoting lies, but rather of non-neutrally representing what are lies. It also isnt ok to come to an an admins talk page to complain about somebody without notifying them, but whatever on that. nableezy - 15:26, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'm curious what you define allegation as. By most definitions it is an unproven claim, even it has been proven false it was/is an allegation. I have no care on this particular battle how ever you both are saying the same thing in the article and an allegation does not mean it has actually happened only that someone accused them of it. No one is required to notify anyone of a discussion on another talk page, this isn't a noticeboard. McMatter ^(talk)/_(contrib) 15:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is correct. Even assuming arguendo that these claims are all "lies," then they are still allegations and saying in Wikipedia's voice that they are "unsubstantiated" is conclusory and non-neutral in my opinion. Further, I would suggest that it is an overstatement to say that these allegations have been "conclusively proven to be lies," but that is a separate matter as is the wording of that section. My concern here is that we should not be adding to the white-hot atmosphere of this subject area by throwing around words like "lies" in edit summaries. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 15:42, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That they were unsubstantiated is well sourced, and that they are proven false is also well sourced. An allegation is something whose validity is still in the air. I dont see sources reporting on disproven allegations and not including that they were disproven. Regardless, that is something for the talk page, and here I was accused of calling an editor a liar where I did no such thing, Maybe running to an admin who has already sanctioned me out of the blue to complain about something I did without informing me is adding to the white-hot atmosphere of this subject area? nableezy - 16:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(tpw) I can see how Figureofnine might take offense at that edit summary and feel that the accusation lying was directed at them. Nableezy, this is similar to the kind of thing I was talking about in my advice last October; it's not sanctionable misconduct, but it does nothing to improve the heat:light ratio or build trust between editors. I know this is an emotive subject, but as one of the most experienced Wikipedians in the topic area, I'd really appreciate it if you would try to build bridges and serve as a role model for the new editors a topic like this inevitably attracts. Figureofnine, please consider discussing issues with editors on their talk page before escalating to an admin's talk page for exactly the same reasons relating to heat:light ration and building trust. Let's all try to see each other as colleagues rather than opponents. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough, but I feel I need to repeat that it was not directed at them, it was about the material in that section. I think Ive learned my lesson not to direct any edit summary to any user already. nableezy - 18:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you. I have absolutely no reason to think you intended that to be a personal attack but you could have been more careful to avoid the perception. That's not me saying you've done something wrong, just that people sometimes read things into what we write that we didn't intend (top tip: sometimes more verbose edit summaries can be helpful; if you'd written "the allegations were proven false" there would have been no room for confusion). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to ask you to consider taking action in your capacity as an administrator against User:Thomas B, who recently started yet another thread on Tim Hunt, this time on BLPN. While Thomas B wasn't formally broadly topic-banned from Tim Hunt, but just page-banned, obviously the intention was to prevent em from continuing to disrupt the editorial process over that article. WP:GAMING likely applies here. Moreover, since we very recently had an extensive discussion and an RfC over that article, this is obvious WP:FORUMSHOPPING and WP:STICK.
