Earlier today I edited the page of someone who has been accused on multiple occasions of sexual harassment, and who has responded to these allegations on both occasions. His page can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacy_Reese_Anthis
Specifically, I wrote:
"In December 2012, Anthis withdrew from Brown University following allegations that he had sexually assaulted female members of his co-ed fraternity. Anthis characterized these allegations as "false" and a "witch hunt" in a letter he published in the Brown Daily Herald.[15] In March 2019, the Center for Effective Altruism stated that they had "received reports from several parties about concerns over several time periods," leading Anthis to publicly apologize on the forum for the Center for Effective Altruism for making "some people uncomfortable with my online romantic advances."[16][17]"
My version can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jacy_Reese_Anthis&oldid=979257521
These changes were later reverted, with the editor (Jmill1806) writing: "This has been discussed extensively. Blog posts are not WP:RS, and it's not encyclopedic content for a WP:BLP. Take it to talk if you want."
Source 17 was a blog post, but sources 15 and 16 were both from more official sources; the first was a letter published in the Brown Daily Herald by Anthis; the second was a public apology written by Anthis. This information is highly relevant, both because there have been multiple allegations made over the course of several years, which Anthis has acknowledged, and because Anthis works in ethics, making the allegations particularly relevant to his line of work. To ensure Anthis' page is maximally accurate, transparent, and relevant, it seems important to include this information.
I would be curious to know whether I am wrong about this, and if so, exactly why these allegations should not appear on Anthis's page. Thank you!

How can I get the templates aligned on my user page, meaning looking like a rectangle/square put together, instead of looking like a weird polygon shape, as seen here? Gioguch (talk) 02:35, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
When looking up the cast of Postcards From The Edge there is a picture of Bobby Carnavalle but with the name Sidney Armus. Sidney Armus was born in 1924 and has since past away. Bobby Carnavalle is gorgeous, much younger and still among us living. Just information as needed. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.63.206 (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Hey there, I have finished a draft about a college Draft:Pakundia Adarsha Mohila College. I have provided two reliably sourced references. They are in Bengali language though. I don't know if two references are enough. I have submitted the draft anyway. I would be glad if you look at it. Userths (talk) 07:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Recently, a user named Ales sandro has change the title of Ukrainian TV program Kiev Day and Night to the native language "Kyiv". Nonetheless, in some sources alters to "Kiev" Day and Night, they lead to controversial dispute on the article. For example, The capital of Ukraine is written in Kiev (the international accepted standard of writing). I need the page to be protected. The Supermind (talk) 10:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
When monitoring a long discussion on a Project web page, Ive noticed that "break" is used to provide a pause and a place to restart and insert discussion and not have to start at the beginning of the thread. How is that done. I once knew but have forgotten how ―Buster7 ☎ 12:48, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
@Buster7: I've inserted a level 3 section heading just above by typing === Arbitrary breakpoint ===
on a new line, which can be thought of as creating a subsection within the level 2 section you created for this thread (== Break ==
). This shows up in the table of contents of the page and can be gotten to with WP:Help desk#Arbitrary breakpoint or with the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Help_desk#Arbitrary_breakpoint . —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 14:23, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Councils held by Constantine such as Nicea etc. ,were attended by ROMAN CATHOLIC bishops ,approved by Eusebius , Origin and other of Constantine's " lap-dogs. The ROMAN CATHOLIC church is NOT Christian , but made up from Arians , Pagans , and Eusebius 'idea of christianity. Mary was NOT introduced as co-redemptrix at Nicea , but 100 years later.---This is NOT Biblical according to TEXTUS RECEPTUS. Roman Catholic church " history" fails to cover the works of true CHRISTIANS , men and women--and this includes Magdeline , who worked tirelessly in the area of Judea .all her life.) who followed Christs directive in Mark 16--15 to the end.
Roman Catholicism is NOT ,"traditionally the oldest form of CHRISTIANITY, The Roman Catholic church ,CONTINUALLY ,AND FOREVER---IGNORES , deliberately , the first 300 years of the TRUE Christianity that Christ taught. and goes straight to Constantine's Councils , which Both HE , Eusebius , Origin and other PAGANS WRONGLY TEACH AS TRUTH. You cant just IGNORE HISTORY and substitute it with LIES.---especially ,when the POPE calls Jesus a liar ,on TV.( 2018) Peter was NEVER the first pope . , James the elder was the first Christian Church leader , Mary is in her grave awaiting her SAVIOURS return Luke 1-46-47, only Jesus can resurrect the dead, not the Pope — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:929F:BE50:34DB:ADFA:FF9A:9E13 (talk) 14:09, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
I am no longer able to see the radio buttons for diffs in the page history. I can view a diff if it's in my contributions, but the radio buttons have disappeared. My browser is Firefox 80.0.1, but it works in Chrome and Safari. Does anyone know the cause of this problem? —Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 18:30, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I've been waiting a week now for my username to be changed, but I have not received any mail. How long will it take, or could it be that I did something wrong? I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiSAMvh (talk • contribs) 19:03, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
In sustainable energy, the subsection on solar heating uses an excerpt. Unfortunately, the article on solar heating uses the same template ((sustainable energy)) as the sustainable energy article, leading to this template being duplicated. Two questions: are we supposed to use excerpts of one article in other articles? If this is okay, is there a way to remove the template? Femke Nijsse (talk) 20:21, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
I just noticed that there were 10 non-constructive edits, blatantly replacing dates and miscellaneous information with incorrect ones, made on 20 September 2020 on the page for Bill Hader by the User (IP address): 2A00:23C6:D88B:A501:5896:9E07:1927:674C
I have never had to file a report for vandalism on Wikipedia before, and the site says to send messages to the User, but since it is an IP address this didn't seem like it would be beneficial. Also, another user has left a message for this user for making non-constructive edits on Bruce Wayne (Dark Knight Trilogy) wiki page.
I was wondering if you would be able to file the vandalism report for me against this IP address.
Update: Someone reverted the edits, but I still think it may be best to report Vandalism anyway.
