Hey, I noticed you were helping on the page, and it really gave me a great idea! I am thinking of putting out a sortable table that will place the endorsements within a number of categories : person, state, date, notes (this is where we can put in flip-flops and near endorsement info, and the reference) If you have some time, you can help out and continue the table. It's a lot of info, but i know we can go at this and make for a really good looking table. Oh, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. I know how rough my early time on wikipedia was (sigh). Anyway, I would love your help! I can see a barnstar in your future for your effort! ;-) --Screwball23 talk 08:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Sounds great! I don't know how to make a table yet, but I can sure help. Thanks! Light-jet pilot (talk) 13:19, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Awesome work so far! I like your new table on Senators. I want to add as many of the politicians as possible, but I think I'll have to draw a line as far as State Senators, Country Republicans, and State Assemblymen go. It's an awesome list, and whenever you can, come and add some more.--Screwball23 talk 01:40, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

- Hi there! I also saw you were working on this. I added Dave Mustaine's endorsement of Rick Santorum. I also added multiple cites (none are really that good as sources), so I figured that three citations from across the political spectrum would suffice. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- I added yet a fourth citation. I think multiple sourcing is needed as it's so unlikely; see WP:BLP. Bearian (talk) 23:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Conservatism#Paul Ryan needs our help!!!. – Sir Lionel, EG(talk) 07:28, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting. So this is how you use the WikiProject to cover for violations of WP:CANVAS. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 09:42, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- What the heck do you mean?! I know you read the context, cause you signed it. The article Paul Ryan needs our help, not the man. This wiki-project is to Improve articles about Conservatism, not to sway them. Light-jet pilot (talk) 14:13, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- This does not appear to be the case. Lionelt has selectively invited only conservatives into the wikiproject, so when they swoop in to "improve" an article, this necessarily amounts to canvassing. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 23:40, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase[edit]
Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.
Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)By Lionelt
Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.

POV pushing concerns at WikiProject Conservatism[edit]
I wanted to let you know that your member statement on the WikiProject Conservatism member list, "I am interested in defending Conservatism everywhere!"
, is one of several that may be seen as inappropriate POV pushing. You might consider editing this statement for neutrality or joining the ongoing discussion. Thanks –dlthewave ☎ 15:15, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
The Right Stuff: July 2018[edit]
By Lionelt
WikiProject Conservatism was a topic of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard/Incident (AN/I). Objective3000 started a thread where he expressed concern regarding the number of RFC notices posted on the Discussion page suggesting that such notices "could result in swaying consensus by selective notification." Several editors participated in the relatively abbreviated six hour discussion. The assertion that the project is a "club for conservatives" was countered by editors listing examples of users who "profess no political persuasion." It was also noted that notification of WikiProjects regarding ongoing discussions is explicitly permitted by the WP:Canvassing guideline.
At one point the discussion segued to feedback about The Right Stuff. Member SPECIFICO wrote: "One thing I enjoy about the Conservatism Project is the handy newsletter that members receive on our talk pages." Atsme praised the newsletter as "first-class entertainment...BIGLY...first-class...nothing even comes close...it's amazing." Some good-natured sarcasm was offered with Objective3000 observing, "Well, they got the color right" and MrX's followup, "Wow. Yellow is the new red."
Admin Oshwah closed the thread with the result "definitely not an issue for ANI" and directing editors to the project Discussion page for any further discussion. Editor's note: originally the design and color of The Right Stuff was chosen to mimic an old, paper newspaper.

Margaret Thatcher is the first article promoted at the new WikiProject Conservatism A-Class review. Congratulations to Neveselbert. A-Class is a quality rating which is ranked higher than GA (Good article) but the criteria are not as rigorous as FA (Featued article). WikiProject Conservatism is one of only two WikiProjects offering A-Class review, the other being WikiProject Military History. Nominate your article here. (Discuss this story)By Lionelt

Out of over one hundred questioned editors, only twenty-seven (27%) are happy with the way reports of conflicts between editors are handled on the Administrators' Incident Noticeboard (AN/I), according to a recent survey . The survey also found that dissatisfaction has varied reasons including "defensive cliques" and biased administrators as well as fear of a "boomerang effect" due to a lacking rule for scope on AN/I reports. The survey also included an analysis of available quantitative data about AN/I. Some notable takeaways:
- 53% avoided making a report due to fearing it would not be handled appropriately
- "Otherwise 'popular' users often avoid heavy sanctions for issues that would get new editors banned."
- "Discussions need to be clerked to keep them from raising more problems than they solve."
In the wake of Zarasophos' article editors discussed the AN/I survey at The Signpost and also at AN/I. Ironically a portion of the AN/I thread was hatted due to "off-topic sniping." To follow-up the problems identified by the research project the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team and Support and Safety team initiated a discussion. You can express your thoughts and ideas here.
