On 16 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Going Infinite, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Michael Lewis, author of Going Infinite, compared a rival author to the subject of both their books, convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried? You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Going Infinite), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

My request to edit the article to use the word "massacre" is valid, legitimate and doesn't breach any EC restrictions. Please clarify yourself on what restriction specificaly has been breached, and how. Thewildshoe (talk) 22:41, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I happen to agree with you on the substance, as you may have noticed. However, you need to use the "Edit Request" form. I hate to be bureaucratic, but that is how things are on these pages. There is an edit request directly below the discussion I hatted. I can try to find the form if you don't have access to it. Then you can pretty much replicate what you said in the post that I hatted, though I would suggest that you boil it down a bit. Remember that an Edit Request has to be specific. In other words, you need to specify where in the article the word "massacre" should appear, etc. Coretheapple (talk) 23:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My brain hadn't registered that Doing Weller's note was a year past; thought it was this January - the old December/January mind slip! Iskandar323 (talk) 05:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Iskandar323 Dolng doing! Great typo. And that alert is out of date I believe as they can't use talk pages except for edit requests now. Doug Weller talk 07:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New editors relying on the old alert may innocently fall afoul of the new restriction and might even be sanctioned for doing so. Perhaps there is some mechanized way of alerting them of the new rule. Also if the alert is out of date I imagine it would need to be fixed.

I think it would be helpful for talk pages of affected articles to state what new editors can and cannot do on those talk pages. Oddly, the current language doesn't say so. Coretheapple (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe an even better idea is to go back to the old way. What is wrong with constructive comments? Coretheapple (talk) 22:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 7 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cold Crematorium, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a Holocaust memoir translated in 2023 described prisoners so dehumanized by the Nazis that they introduced themselves in past tense, as in "My name was ..."?

Hey, can you expand the lead section a bit? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 17:50, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been off-wiki but I will give it a look. Coretheapple (talk) 20:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aloha! Viriditas (talk) 20:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good suggestion, as I needed more of a description of the contents of the book. Coretheapple (talk) 21:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, can you take a look at Alvin J. Reines when you have time? I recently discovered his idea of polydoxy while working on the James A. Lindsay article. Apparently, there's a Christian theologian named David W. Congdon who points to polydoxy as a potential solution to the crisis in American Christianity. Did Reines come up with polydoxy or did he just incorporate it into his own concept of reform Judaism? Viriditas (talk) 21:39, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Found Polydoxy: Theology of Multiplicity and Relation (2010).[1] Once again, academia is 50 years behind Alan Watts. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. It's hard to take any of these people seriously. Watts was talking about this in the 1960s. Viriditas (talk) 00:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's interesting. A bit beyond my area of expertise however. Coretheapple (talk) 14:04, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a Christian theologian! Just thought it was odd tracing the concept of polydoxy from 1987 to 2010, when Alan Watts and numerous others had been talking about this for years only to be ignored by academia. Now, it's suddenly acceptable, decades later, to talk about the same ideas. I've seen this thing play out over and over again. Viriditas (talk) 19:52, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. 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. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You offered a statement in an arbitration enforcement referral. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Evidence. Please add your evidence by 23:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC), which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Introduction. For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm notifying you that I have listed your name at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Evidence#Seven proposed parties as being among the most active editors in Palestine/Israel noticeboard disputes, and I have proposed that you participate as a party to the case. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's your privilege, but just FYI typically people are brought into Arbitration cases due to specific claims of misconduct, not as a kind of participation trophy because they took positions in various discussions, in my case largely quite a while ago. Coretheapple (talk) 21:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:

First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.

Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, editor, I noticed you recently participated in a discussion of a requested move for the article Brian Thompson (businessman).
