Your GA nomination of Impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson

The article Impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Kwkintegrator -- Kwkintegrator (talk) 03:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

@Kwkintegrator: Thank you for taking the time to conduct this good article review, for providing useful guidance for getting the article fully up-to-snuff, and for providing me the opportunity/time to make needed adjustments to the article. This is greatly appreciated. SecretName101 (talk) 05:02, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

More clarity on matters from earlier topic appeal would be appreciated

@Amakuru: You had failed to notify me of the closure of my earlier topic ban appeal, which would have been appreciated. But I, in genuine gratitude, thank for having closed it, nonetheless. While it was not the closure I had wished for, obviously, I still appreciate that you took it upon yourself to resolve a discussion that stayed un-closed for far too long after new contributions had ceased. I had seen requests for a closure go unanswered for a long while, so I genuinely appreciate that you took care of the unresolved task.

This is not a challenge to the result, but rather a request for more clarity from contributors that might be able to help.

(The appeal has been archived here)

In verdicts/discussion, I had been told by several that I did not seem to fully grasp the reasons for the ban. In particular by @Begoon:, @Yngvadottir:, @Guerillero:

In their verdicts, neither Begoon nor Guerillero actually specified what they felt I had failed to grasp or acknowledge. I feel it is unfair and hampers my ability to reflect and grow if I am not actually given any direction as to what I am perhaps failing to grasp. So if they could lay out what specifically I failed to acknowledge about the reasons for the ban, that would be useful for me.

Yngvadottir at least provided me a description of what they felt that I had not acknowledged. However, these were things I indeed HAD acknowledged, so I am a little bewildered by that. They charged me with failing to notice, “the at best marginal notability of the subject, coupled with the wholly inappropriate emphasis in how it was written”, contrary to the fact that I had explicitly acknowledged both of these things already. I had acknowledged that it very problematically placed a wholly extreme emphasis on several unflattering details of the subject’s life. At the time I published the article, I had I thought that the subject perhaps fell on the side of relatively-marginal-but-notable-enough, but I have never professed that he had strong enough notability that there weren’t grounds to dispute notability (in fact, I believe that I had throughout much of this process expressed that I have seen a strong case for him lacking enough notability, often using direct derivatives of the term “marginal” in my wording). It is bewildering to me how I can explicitly acknowledge something multiple times, and be yet be charged/faulted with failing to have done so.

Any assistance by providing more clarity on what y’all would like me to better reflect on would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm not sure how helpful this is going to be, since one of the things that emerged in the appeal is that you hadn't kept your topic ban in mind and seemed unwilling or unable to recognize that it was just what it said, "broadly construed". So it wasn't just your understanding of the reason for the restriction. But ok. Looking back at the appeal discussion, take a look at this diff, from 17:09 on April 4. You say there, I think that the article indeed was poorly-considered. It painted too negative a picture on a figure that do I believe is notable, but I also believe threads the line between sufficient and insufficient notability for this project. (I'm assuming you intended to type "I do" rather than "do I".) This contrasts with what you said immediately above, at 17:04: I created an article on an individual I believed surpassed the notability threshold for their business exploits (having established a nationally notable music club/bar and received accolades for it). In retrospect, since the article was an incomplete picture that leaned negative, and since the individual's notability was so-marginally above the threshold, I would have not published the article if I could do it over. The earlier statement says you now recognize his notability was marginal, but you thought at the time his notability was above the threshold; 5 minutes later, you are saying with emphasis that you believe him to be notable (present tense), even though his notability is marginal "for this project". This is a contradictory pair of answers to Begoon's questions, What did you do that led to the ban? and How would you handle the same situation now? You were asked to respond to both in detail, and it's apparent that you tried to do so, but the later response makes it clear that you are still defending your decision to write an article on the guy, and not grasping that we are talking about Wikipedia notability, not some kind of abstract notability or notability on another publishing platform, so marginally notable on Wikipedia ("threading the line") is marginally notable. You walked back a better response to make some point about how you still think he's notable ... with some distinction between Wikipedia notability and notability ... and that indicates, to me at least, that your judgement on BLP is not fully trustworthy.

You have to manage your own adherence to both your topic ban and our wider rules and guidelines. I can't speak for Begoon, but what I saw was them patiently asking you questions to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of what you did that led to the topic ban, and of your having followed the ban, so that it can be lifted. It was your job to show these things in your answers, and although yes, you clearly tried, I wasn't impressed by the argument about the word "concerning". If you put the first synonym of "concern" that you quoted from the dictionary, “be about”, into the wording of your topic ban, you would have "from editing pages or otherwise making edits that are about living or recently deceased persons (WP:ARBBLP), broadly construed", which is exactly right; the wording you have not been observing carefully enough is broadly construed. There's a link on the term in the topic ban notice. It's the opposite of what you said at AN in explaining why you'd made several edits that mentioned living people, all which implies principal involvement and not passing relation. (Quite apart from the fact I disagree; "concern" does not only refer to "is the main topic".) I've said before, I recognize that being topic banned from living people is very hard for you, since what you like to write about is people who have been elected to offices, and you like to use a lot of newspapers and other sources that often relate such people's careers to other people's, including living people's. But to get it lifted, you have to demonstrate understanding and that includes understanding how to adhere to the topic ban. Otherwise, you are, again, showing that your judgement can't be trusted. Yngvadottir (talk) 09:13, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@Yngvadottir: As I went over before, people don't get bans put in place on this project for disagreements about the notability of potential subjects. Deletion discussions are there for a reason, to determine a communal consensus on notability. Notability on wikipedia requires consensus, and it is okay in forming that consensus for users to have differing viewpoints. I have always acknowledged that there are grounds to argue that the individual fell below the notability, but I also have said that there is a possibility he falls ever-so-slightly on the notable side. And I honor that the community reached a consensus that they do not feel he is notable enough, so it is a dead issue regardless.

That is not a crime for which a user requires a topic ban. Is it? SecretName101 (talk) 16:59, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

And I feel that I have been far more cautious in broadly construing the ban these last few months. SecretName101 (talk) 17:01, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

And thank you for your response. I appreciate you not ignoring my request for input. This is helpful to be able to unpack and better understand what was said in my last appeal. SecretName101 (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

The issue was never just 'notability'. The underlying issue was that you used the facilities provided by Wikipedia to create a grossly inappropriate attack page on a living person. Even if said individua had met Wikipedia notability guidelines, the article would still have been a violation of multiple Wikipedia policies. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

@AndyTheGrump: I agree, that notability was not the sole factor. But as I have said before, the intent was never to attack the subject. I made a massive error in judgement in taking an article out of the draft space that painted an incomplete picture of a subject due to limitation in sources I had access to on them. I should have recognized the limitation of available online sources as a further sign that the figure was of negligible notability, and not published the article unless I ever had better balance and a more complete picture. It was very poor judgement on my part, that I own up to and have learned from. I also thank you for engaging and helping me unpack this. Even if we may have had unpleasant interactions in the past, I hope this will be civil between us. SecretName101 (talk) 17:08, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

I think that the more notable topic, though, was the nightclub/bar he owned. That would have been the wiser thing for me to have written an article on. But I’d avoid ever writing an article on that now, because it feels inadvisable and like it would be definitely frowned upon for me to be the one to create such an article after the previous related article. SecretName101 (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

As for the accusation by Yngvadottir of a contradictory claim. Perhaps we understand the word marginal differently and that is the crux of why you thought there was contradiction. SecretName101 (talk) 17:56, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Cut and paste move

The article you created, Indian commissioner, appears to be a straight cut and paste copy of Board of Indian Commissioners. I’ve redirected the title back there for now. What are you trying to do? Mccapra (talk) 22:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mccapra: Not sure what happened there. I was certainly trying to make a redirect. I think I accidentally copy and pasted the wrong edit window there. I think I thought I had copied from the edit window of Indian Commissioner (a redirect to the article), but accidentally was redirected to the article and instead copied its edit window instead which I unwittingly copied and pasted.

jonesbeach.com

You seem to be stuck on the reasons the link is not allowed when we are way passed that, I understand the reasons now..  Again I am not a Wikipedia expert and asked politely FIRST and was flat out ignored, on purpose.. ohnoitsjamie even saying afterwards "I'm not owed a response" (is that a nice thing to say?) and full retaliation by unnecessary blacklisting. Also, This is not the first time this admin has been a bad actor: https://ohnoitsjamiewikipediascammer.wordpress.com/ 24.189.112.39 (talk) 22:09, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@Defeedme @24.189.112.39 Using an IP to post on Wikipedia in a manner that your account has been blocked from posting is sockpuppetry. I recall you've been warned before not to sockpuppet with IPs. Sockpuppeting is a grounds to be outright banned from Wikpedia. Do not do this.

Persistent spamming seems like a reasonable grounds to blacklist a website that has no encyclopedic value to this project.

They've been very curt with you, yes. I don't love that they have been. But you are being eggregioius in your conduct here as well.

And I am not going to address a Wordpress post from 2008 that provides no evidentiary basis for its claim.

I would refrain from fussing about that website. It only seems to land you in trouble. If you are here to contribute in general and not solely to promote your website, my advice is to let this issue die. It seems like a losing battle.

Do not respond until your account is permitted to. Doing so with an IP address or a different account is sockpuppeting and will likely result in more consequences. SecretName101 (talk) 00:55, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm not "fussing"- I'm giving the FACTS, since You decided to chime in about it.. "They" have been more than CURT with me, "they" have retaliated for no reason. There has been no "persistent" spamming, I stopped when admins explained. THEN I asked politely if it could be added to the bottom (based on the long rich history since 1996 and my limited knowledge of wikipedia) and was completely ignored - is that hard to understand.. I'm not owed a response? Is that nice?

In your last sentence - Are you threatening me? At this point I'm convinced almost everyone here is a bully (especially the admins). 2601:589:4100:1C77:990B:6DF2:5B87:7209 (talk) 05:40, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@Defeedme @2601:589:4100:1C77:990B:6DF2:5B87:7209 I warned you not to comment like this because doing so is prohibited as it is sockpuppeting. I was telling you what is in your best interest if you genuinely would like to avoid being outright banned from Wikipedia. Sockpuppeting is subject to sanction, blocking, and banning. It was incredibly unwise for you to have disregarded my advice. It'll most certainly hurt your cause, and that is unfortunate for you. Yes, the rules and conventions of Wikipedia are frustrating to navigate, and I have been relatively sympathetic to you in recognition of that. But you have repeatedly dug yourself into unneeded holes and ignored warnings and advice that you have been given. This is like the bicycle fall meme at this point [1] , you are repeatedly sabotaging your own cause and then getting upset when things don't go in your favor. I fear that an admin will probably be very tough on you because of this continued sockpuppeting. SecretName101 (talk) 06:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Help on determining whether it is appropriate to refactor

Can an experienced non-involved user help us determine whether it is appropriate to refactor a long conversation chain at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Establishing a guideline outline preferred dimensions (aspect ratio) for images in the inboxes for biographies and elections. I beelive it is appropriate to refactor it by either collapsing a portion as expanded content or resectioning it because it hurts readilbity and is a distraction among other reasons.

I fear at this point that the lengthly thread might have been a successful implementation of a deliberate tactic by another user: antagonize and steer a conversation to great length so that it'll discourage others from contributing to the discussion in order to sabotage the chances of a proposal they dislike getting any consensus.

Hi there. I recently left a message on talk:efforts to impeach Joe Biden#Article's protection in the hope that someone could notice it. Please check.197.240.155.207 (talk) 21:21, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Jacob Loeb - newspapers.com

Hi, I just noticed your submission Draft:Jacob Loeb and noticed your use of restricted access newspapers.com sources. Did you know if you clip the article that is then open access? I just mention as I didn't know the first few articles I used it on. Open access sources are not required here, but it's not just nicer to the readers but also more likely to get a quicker AfC review if sources can actually be checked as I don't know how many other viewers have access. I clipped and replaced the obituary as an example and just thought I'd mention in case you didn't know. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 17:10, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

First Ladies of the United States

Hello! I'm currently trying to bring List of first ladies of the United States to Good Topic status. I understand that you're a major contributor to Betty Ford and you've already brought it close to Good Article status. I was wondering if you had any interest in nominating it as a Good Article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien I definitely do. It's already on my "to do" list for articles to nominate in the future. I have a few articles currently awaiting assessment at the moment, but Betty Ford hovering around the top of the articles I intend put nominate once those are assessed. I limit the number that I list for nomination at a given time, as (in the past) I once had too many articles all begin separate assessments at the same time, and that proved too much for me to handle. SecretName101 (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Chad Johnson

Quick note - the practice of removing all mentions of Johnson's arrest and domestic assault allegations goes back to at least October 2020, to an account called DaddySaurus, months before I noticed it. It's likely the same person, popping up every few weeks, attempting some variation of that removal every time. Pure speculation next: wouldn't surprise me if it were Chad Johnson himself, based on some of the attacks on my talk page from back in 2021. I should probably start reporting the IP addresses as socks of the DaddySaurus account, but I didn't have Twinkle yet when that situation happened. Makes it much easier now. Anyway, I wanted to provide some context as to why that's been on my watchlist. Wes sideman (talk) 16:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Trude Building moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Trude Building, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:28, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Kim Janey

Hey! I don't want to start an editing war so I wanted to ask you a few things about Kim Janey's infobox. First, you mentioned a consensus. I couldn't find it in the talk page, so do you mind linking me to it? Next, I believe you about the charter that mentions different offices, however, unlike what you said, acting mayors actually usually do have different jobs in most strong mayor-council cities (example: SF, Baltimore, St. Louis, etc.). Do you mind quoting from the charter where it specifically says they are different offices?

Thank you so much!

WezouskyMike (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

@WezouskyMike there’s some consensus in the edit summaries of the edit history from during her acting mayoralty SecretName101 (talk) 21:48, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

And the charter outlines a separate title of “acting mayor” and separate scope of power for those serving as mayor in the absence of a mayor. SecretName101 (talk) 21:49, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

I would just also encourage deference to how local media interpreted acting mayor as being distinct from mayor as a title.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/01/25/metro/boston-could-soon-have-an-acting-mayor-what-will-that-mean/

I didn't really notice any NPOV issues; if anything, you were very (almost overly) cautious with the "regarded as possibly aspiring to..." and whatnot. (Also a lot of passive voice, but I don't mind that.) Regarding NPOV: I mean... they're criminals. You wrote what they did, without saying "they were terrible horrible people and I really don't like them" - neutral doesn't necessarily mean positive, but I'm sure you know that.

I did tweak working in a few places, mostly typos and things that weren't immediately clear to me; nothing major, but feel free to revert any of those changes if you disagree. I also left a few comments in edit summaries. A few other questions that aren't a big deal but I think would add a bit to the article:

• The timeline of when Alvin and his wife had their children isn't particularly clear; was it before or after his 1970-1982 sentence (and do you have anything on when he got out on parole, other than "by 1982"?)
• Do you have rough years for when it would have been Alvin died?
• M-1 links to a disambiguation page

Overall those are just really minor nitpicks, I don't see any major shortcomings with the article as-is. LittlePuppers (talk) 07:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@LittlePuppers Alvin's daughter Andrea graduated college at Princeton in the class of 2004. Since a source I found indicated that he died when she was in college, that seems to mean that he died sometime between 2000 and 2004. So a search for any obituaries or death notices would probably be focused on that timeframe. SecretName101 (talk) 08:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

1924 United States Presidential Election Page

I'm trying to put together something of a team to improve the article for the 1924 US Presidential election; I worked on this article in the long past, but I have extreme difficulty in summarizing information in a manner which would be proper for Wikipedia. If you take a look at the article you would be able to see that in many of the places I made entries I had taken the words from my sources more or less verbatim. What I'm trying to do now is put something of a team together to finally tackle the article and make it presentable, and for that I primarily need writers. In the past I would inquire at the Wikiprojecct that I'm part of, but much of the membership is now inactive, and I'm at a loss as to who actually works on the articles extensively these days. Whether your interested or not in helping, please let me know. By extension, do you happen to know anyone else who might be? Ariostos (talk) 13:54, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Christy Mihos, 2006 (3x4).jpeg

The file File:Christy Mihos, 2006 (3x4).jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Looks like a campaign image. Questionable licencing by uploader. EXIF metadata suggests this was pulled from Picasa.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Matr1x-101 _{(Ping me when replying)} {_{user page} ^{(@ commons)} - _talk} 16:27, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Regarding Talk:Removal of Kevin McCarthy

I am a bit confused about the whole situation on the talk page. From my current perspective, you replied to my message with some caps, then mocked me for being confused about your message, before denying that you even replied to me. Is the indentation showing something different on your end? (I have GardenCosmos' at three indents, myself at four, and yourself at five in that thread.) I am a bit peeved about the situation, but if it is a bug on your end then I can at least understand the confusion. --Super Goku V (talk) 07:29, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

@Super Goku V I apologize that that came across as being rude towards you.

The context should have given you an idea that the first reply was directed at Cosmos' comment that preceded your's. Since what I said didn't address what you had said, but directly corresponded to what Cosmos had said. And caps were only used to highlight a key term. SecretName101 (talk) 15:41, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for apologizing. Unfortunately, no I could not tell by the context that you were directing it to Cosmos' as my mind doesn't work that way, sadly. (I do have struggles in discussions with multiple people in real life as a result.) Gotcha on the caps and sorry on my end as well. I also struggle with intent at times and misunderstood. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

Hello SecretName101, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around.

AI images

Thanks for your work on biographies, but be aware that Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Images#Editing_images discourages the use of AI upscaling on historical photographs, as the process may introduce details which are not present in the original:

AI upscaling software should generally not be used to increase the resolution or quality of an old or low-resolution image. Original historical images should always be used in place of AI upscaled versions. If an AI-upscaled image is used in an article, this fact should be noted in its caption.

Editors colorising black and white photos is also generally discouraged, by the same guideline. Belbury (talk) 09:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

For goodness sake, there's no allegations of illegality here, it's a municipal pissing contest. It isn't due inclusion. Please go to article talk. Simonm223 (talk) 18:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Simonm223 Things do not need to be illegal to be mentioned on Wikipedia articles. Especially since it is not in any way framed as being an act of even alleged criminality. A large line-item that has attracted scrutiny need not be illegal to be notable. SecretName101 (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

It's a bit of municipal piffle. A power struggle in a tiny pond. It's not relevant to an encyclopedia. Simonm223 (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Simonm223 Your edits are verging from cleanup into whitewashing. SecretName101 (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

No they're really not. I suggest you also add WP:RGW to your reading list. I left in literally every mention of a lawsuit. Simonm223 (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Simonm223 I'd urge you re-read that yourself SecretName101 (talk) 19:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

AGF warning

OK, again, for the second and last time I will caution you to assume good faith - your commentary regarding Tiffany Henyard is getting very personal; I am focused on the article content and not you. I would appreciate the same courtesy. Furthermore I asked you to reduce the number of tags you used on me as I am tired of constant notifications regarding this one article. Your response was to immediately tag me.

I want to make this very clear. The article is on my watchlist. I will see your comments. You do not need to tag me. Please stop. Simonm223 (talk) 19:50, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Simonm223 I am warning you that the rationale YOU STATED is a personal opinion, and editing with that as your basis is an act of bias. Assuming good faith does not mean to ignore when people outright declare their bias. SecretName101 (talk) 19:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I am giving you one last chance to A) comply with my repeated requests to stop over-tagging me and B) redact your claims that I am intentionally white-washing this article. Simonm223 (talk) 19:53, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I never said that you are intentionally white-washing. I said that it appears you are either making clear misjudgments (in good faith) or intentionally white-washing.

I never cast any doubt that the prior is the an equally or more likely explanation for your editing. SecretName101 (talk) 19:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Will you redact the white-washing claim you made here [2] and here [3]? Yes or no? Simonm223 (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

The first comment does not doubt that your actions may be without malintent. In fact, it presents misjudgment as a valid explanation for your edits.

the second comment also assigns no malintent to your edit, as it only states that the end-result of your editing verges on whitewashing territory. pointing out the end-result of your editing is not an accusation of mal-intent.

Neither asserts that you are acting with malintent. for what reason are you demanding that I retract those comments?

I am not accusing you of mal-intent in either comment. What is your issue with either; and what reasons would I be asked to retract those comments? SecretName101 (talk) 20:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

So that's a no then? Simonm223 (talk) 20:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I am asking what issue you find in those comments. What are they a violation of? SecretName101 (talk) 20:11, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

It's a violation of WP:AGF and a clear one. Simonm223 (talk) 20:20, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

In what way.

where did I assert you were practicing bad faith? I already clarified to you that neither comment is written or made with an

assumption that you are in fact editing in bad faith.

Maybe re-read about AGF. You seem mistaken in your understanding of what it is and is not.

You actually appear to be violating the advice set out at WP:AGF

Be careful about citing this principle too aggressively. Just as one can incorrectly judge that another is acting in bad faith, so too can one mistakenly conclude that bad faith is being assumed; exhortations to "assume good faith" can themselves reflect negative assumptions about others.

As AGF makes clear, one can indeed call out incorrect conduct (such as edits whose end-result amounts to a whitewashing of content) without assuming that those actions must have been done with mal-intent. And AGF does not prohibit one from doing so. SecretName101 (talk) 20:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Regardless of your motivation: the end-result is a white-washing. SecretName101 (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@Diannaa: if my recollection is not impaired here, what I added was not in any way violating copyright. Please reinstate those edits or be more specific in what you are raising alarm about SecretName101 (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Also, You omitted a sizable chunk of edits that included content not even referenced from the source you are concerned about. That was not an appropriate remedy even if there was a sentence fragment accidentally left in or something that was copyrighted. You remove the content you ARE concerned about, and leave all else. SecretName101 (talk) 15:07, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Actually scratch that last comment. I’m mistaking content “missing” from there that were actually added to a different article (another election). SecretName101 (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Could you tell me what was deleted? I might have accidentally left a block of text that I was referring to as a source for my edits rather than deleting it once it was finished being referenced. SecretName101 (talk) 15:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

The overlapping content will be highlighted (the iThenticate report may take a while to load).

Please don't paste content from your sources into articlespace; I suggest that instead you use an external editor such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs and work on it there until you are sure it's completely original. — Diannaa (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I happened to pull up the deletion when I saw this thread, it was the entire first paragraph under "explanation" on ilsos.gov. Verbatim. No other content removed. tedder (talk) 20:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha, must have been something I thought I had deleted once I had written a sentences incorporating that content in the body SecretName101 (talk) 21:45, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Diannaa, that’s literally what I did. Evidently, I forgot to delete something SecretName101 (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
