== Signature: Scott Adams RfC ==

You did not sign your statement for the [[Talk:Scott_Adams#rfc_8F24A95|Scott Adams RfC]]. It is required, so please do so. You can see [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies]] for examples in other RfC's. Also, another editor corrected your spelling of "controversial" in the statement, which you spelled [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Scott_Adams&diff=prev&oldid=1147142962 "contraversial"]. Thank you. [[User:Stoarm|Stoarm]] ([[User talk:Stoarm|talk]]) 16:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Please read [[WP:NPOV]] and do not re-add the tag. If you still have concerns, raise them on the talk page. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 15:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:{{reply to|Stoarm}} - Thanks for the suggestion and the spelling note. I guess I've gotta fess to the typo, as it's a little hard to controdict.
:I think the RfC is OK as the bot seemed to list it correctly despite my not signing. [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 01:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
::Your [[WP:SIG|signature]] is required. The only reason the bot listed it is because you used fictitious signatures as examples in the part that outlines how responses are to be formatted. Are you going to sign the statement? [[User:Stoarm|Stoarm]] ([[User talk:Stoarm|talk]]) 13:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
:::Required by? I'll consider signing it. I'm not sure exactly what the value would be. Is your concern that RfC isn't neutrally worded or something? [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 13:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
::::It doesn't matter what the value is. It's required. I'm not sure why you're making such a basic issue so difficult. You are a long-time editor and I'm sure know when signatures are and are not required. I provided WP:SIG, which I'd have to assume you're very familiar with already. Are you claiming some sort of exemption from this requirement? It's your RfC and so you should obviously sign it, just as [[WP:RFC/AT|all other editors do in their RfCs]]. Are you going to sign it? [[User:Stoarm|Stoarm]] ([[User talk:Stoarm|talk]]) 14:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::I am long time editor. I've done dozen of RfCs. Signed few of them. This is first time anyone has complained. Seems like a you thing. [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 14:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::No, it's a requirement thing. And apparently [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AScott_Adams&diff=prev&oldid=1147249691&diffmode=source the administrator who signed it for you] agrees. If you've done dozens of them but have only signed a few of them, that's wrong. You should sign ''all'' of them, just like it's done in all the other RfCs. Your uncivil and uncooperative behavior over such a basic issue is disappointing. It's a shame that it took an administrator to correct what you refused to do. Yes, you're a long time editor; so you should know better and do better. [[User:Stoarm|Stoarm]] ([[User talk:Stoarm|talk]]) 14:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::::When did I refuse to do it? I said I was considering it. You're either intentionally mischaracterizing or having trouble reading.
:::::::RedRose seemed to think it's important for neutrality. Since I've asked you whether you felt the RfC was neutral and you didn't respond, I can only assume you disagree. So again, what do '''you''' feel the benefit is?
:::::::You don't think it's a little goofy that you were trying to make a point about how important it was to sign, when it was in fact, already signed? If it was really that important, wouldn't you have recognized? [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 16:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
::::Update: The issue is now moot. I just noticed that an administrator appropriately [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AScott_Adams&diff=prev&oldid=1147249691&diffmode=source signed] for you since you failed to do so. You can also see that their edit summary says you violated [[WP:RFCNEUTRAL]] <strike>by making yours the first !vote</strike>. In the future, I hope you will follow the requirement to sign any RfCs that you initiate. I was trying to be nice by asking you (multiple times) to please sign it, rather than making it a noticeboard issue for an admin to handle. [[User:Stoarm|Stoarm]] ([[User talk:Stoarm|talk]]) 14:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::I see that. Acutally I think the sig was in the wrong place. {{ping|Redrose64}} - For the record, I try to make a really clear distinction between the neutrally phrased RfC and my non-neutral position on the RfC by separating them into different sections.
:::::Out of curiousity, does anyone feel like I actually phrased this RfC non-neutrally, or are we arguing about angels on the head of a pin? If you feel like I was being non-neutral in posing the question, I'm happy to consider that. [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 14:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::It's nothing to do with sections. [[WP:RFCNEUTRAL]] says {{tq|Legobot will copy the markup of your statement (from the end of the {{tl|rfc}} tag through the first timestamp) to the list of active RfCs}}. Note that this says ''timestamp'', not signature, and in {{diff|Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147147849|this edit}} we find that it copied up to and including the "13:01, 25 September 2050 (UTC)", even though it is clearly a bogus timestamp and the preceding signature used a fake username. Quite apart from the fact that bogus timestamps can cause problems for Legobot further down the line, a major problem is that having the line beginning "Support Option A" included in the RfC listings has given the impression that a real opinion was part of the RfC statement, which goes against {{tq|Keep the RfC statement (and heading) neutrally worded}}. My edit placed a real signature and a correct timestamp (copied from further down the page) before those non-neutral items, with {{diff|Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147250783|this effect}}; but my effort was nullified by {{diff|Talk:Scott Adams|prev|1147374339|this edit}}, with {{diff|Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147376059|this effect}}.
::::::In making {{diff|Talk:Scott Adams|prev|1147414738|this edit}}, {{user|Floquenbeam}} has not helped matters by dropping their own sig into the middle of the statement, with {{diff|Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies|prev|1147421025|this effect}}. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 22:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

You can link things in See also only if they are directly related to an article and where you're not pushing a POV. You dont want people to start linking [[Criticism of Muhammad]] on every Muhammad related article, right? Its the same thing. --[[User:Matt57|Matt57]] <sup>([[User_talk:Matt57|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Matt57|contribs]])</sup> 00:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:Matt - Two points
:I was trying to reflect views held by a number of groups (see [http://www.islamophobia-watch.com/islamophobia-watch/2007/6/22/another-boost-for-the-council-of-ex-muslims-fraud.html],[http://www.docstoc.com/docs/15564892/CULTURAL-AND-SOCIAL-AFFAIRS-DEPARTMENT-OIC-ISLAMOPHOBIA-OBSERVATORY]).
:The [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]] contends that European muslims are under threat of death if they consider abandoning Islam. If this isn't an islamophic argument, I'm not sure what is. Can you perhaps enlighten me as to what you consider Islamophobia? Or perhaps your POV is that it doesn't exist? [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 03:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
::The same kinds of WP:OR arguements could be applied to defend the inclusion of a see also of [[Criticism of Muhammad]] at [[Military career of Muhammad]], and all other Muhammad related articles (since a number of groups and people are critical of Muhammad). Do you agree we can have them there? And that death threat is not a "contention", its a fact, mentioned in sahih Hadith multiple times, you know that. Its not a matter of Islamophobia not existing, thats not the issue here. The issue is: If you're ok with Islamophobia being linked as a See also at that Council article, then you should also be OK with Muhammad's criticism being linked at all his articles. Agreed? --[[User:Matt57|Matt57]] <sup>([[User_talk:Matt57|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Matt57|contribs]])</sup> 12:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Matt57 - Sidebar perhaps. Footer no. As long as no footer exists for the other Abrahamic religions I can't help but feel that Islam is being singled out.
:::I wouldn't really oppose a sidebar, as it would be hard to argue that the [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]] isn't critical of Islam. However; I might offer one counter point, which is; should we put [[Criticism of Judiasm]] on [[Nazi]]? [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 12:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
::::What are you talking about? I'm not talking about a footer or sidebar. I'm talking about the '''See also''' section. Why should we not link [[Criticism of Muhammad]] at [[Military career of Muhammad]], in the See also section? Or is that ok? Its KB, looks like. --[[User:Matt57|Matt57]] <sup>([[User_talk:Matt57|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Matt57|contribs]])</sup> 13:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:::::I'm sorry. When I read "Criticism of" I assumed we were back to discussing the footer issue. I've reread your post. I think we really have to refer to RS on this matter. If you consider say [[Sherman's March]]; this is a subject about which there is a lot of contention in RS. Some arguing it was legitimate warfare, some arguing it was the first example of modern war crime. In cases where significant "criticism" of this nature exists in RS, it's probably OK to add "Criticisms of" in "see also".
:::::So, to answer your point; I know little about the [[Military career of Muhammad]], but if there is significant scholarly RS which is critical of his military career, than yes, [[Criticism of Muhammad]] would probably appropriate. [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 14:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
::::::So your standard is ''if there is "significant scholarly RS which is critical" of the article topic'', then we can link it in the See also section. So where's the "significant scholarly RS" that justifies you linking Islamophobia to [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]]? On a less-important note I find it funny you have an atheist userbox on your userpage but all of your edits are pro-Islamic / anti Islam-criticism.
::::::To apply your other quote: ''"In cases where significant "criticism" of this nature exists in RS, it's probably OK to add "Criticisms of" in "see also"."'', you and I know that there is a tonne of criticism about Muhammad, from scholarly reliable sources (they're all reliable, otherwise that Criticism article cannot include that stuff), so it should be OK for us to link Criticism of Muhammad to all the article topics where he has been criticized. He has been called a warlord and pedophile, womanizer and so on (to sum up the reliable sources). So any article that has to do with these areas should link to the Criticism article, according to your logic here.
::::::The point is, the same (faulty in my opinion and it shows WP:OR/Synthesis) reasoning you're applying to link Islamophobia on that [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]] can be applied to many other articles. Now to come back to another thing you said previously:
:::::::''The [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]] contends that European muslims are under threat of death if they consider abandoning Islam. If this isn't an islamophic argument, I'm not sure what is.''
::::::For you to say that the statement "ex-Muslims are under a death threat" is Islamophobic and hence Islamophobia should be linked there, is WP:OR. You should know that because you've been here a while since 2007. We dont do anything that is OR. We only say what reliable sources say, directly. --[[User:Matt57|Matt57]] <sup>([[User_talk:Matt57|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Matt57|contribs]])</sup> 15:04, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

'''1)''' ''So where's the "significant scholarly RS" that justifies you linking Islamophobia to Central Committee for Ex-Muslims''
:The [[Central Committee for Ex-Muslims]] isn't really a well known organization. I think it probably just barely passes [[WP:NOTABLE]]. As a result I don't think the bar is very high on what might qualify as "significant". If I were to want to put [[Islamophobia]] in the "see also" section of [[The US Congress]], I would have to provide more "significant" RS.
::This is no criteria: ''"Central Committee for Ex-Muslims" is small so we can list the articles [[silly]]/[[crap]] over there.'' What I mean is this. Notability is only important when we're deciding to keep/delete an article. Linking Islamophobia as you did in the way and as you justified yourself is OR, as I explained. You have to 1) provide an RS 2) stay away from OR, no matter how big or small the subject of an article is.
:::Yes obviously you must avoid [[WP:OR]] regardless of the importance of a subject matter. That's not the point. The point is the ''amount and quality'' of RS required for lesser subject is lower.
::::And your job is to prove using multiple reliable sources that Ex-Muslim council is an Islamophobic organization, otherwise what you did was a violation of [[WP:OR]].


== Feedback request: Maths, science, and technology request for comment ==
'''2)''' ''atheist userbox on your userpage but all of your edits are pro-Islamic / anti Islam-criticism''
:(chuckle) - Are you implying I'm a secret Muslim? No. I am much very an atheist and happen to believe all religions are equally silly regardless of whether you're worshipping Yaweh, Ala, Jesus, Ganesha etc.... The keyword there though is "equal", and I approach WP with a strong emphasis on [[WP:RNPOV]]. I happen to think that WP suffers from a degree of [[systemic bias]] against Islam primarily as a result of the fact that there aren't many muslim editors, and there are a lot of editors who probably have latent predijuices against muslims. The "pro-Islamic/anti Islam-criticism" can probably be attributed to a desire to mitigate this [[systemic bias]] (be it real or percieved).
::If you think they're all silly, you should do some anti-religion editing too. I did see one of them so I'll admit that. Anyway its still puzzling why most of them are pro-Islamic. But again this isnt important as compared to the other issues here. If you have a few good edits that are critical of Islam let me know. I didnt see your whole history in any case so I probably missed them.
:::I think my statement above about there being "[[systemic bias]] against islam" explains why I actively seek to eliminate anti-Islamic POV material from WP.
::::Really? Have you see [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jagged 85|'''this''']]? The problem on WP actually is, systematic bias ''for'' Islam. Thats 65,000 edits right there for you and tonnes like that go on every day with no one to watch over them, including one that you made, by linking Islamophobia there. Are you sure now that Wikipedia is anti-Islamic? I think our work should be to clean up the mess that Jagged_85 has created by editing 1000's of page with pro-Islamic bias, while grossly violating rules such as making up references or falsely quoting them and so on. Thats the problem here and there are many edits who continue to show that pro-Islamic bias while violating policies and preventing dissemination of actual information about Islam.

'''3)''' ''I know that there is a tonne of criticism about Muhammad, from scholarly reliable sources''
:Again, I'm not much of a scholar on [[Muhammad]], so I'll have to believe you. I would mention here though that obviously hundreds of thousands of RS exist that address [[Muhammad]]. If you can only present a handful that make the ''"warlord and pedophile, womanizer"'' assertions, I'm not sure that really qualifies as "significant". If on the other hand, there are dozens and dozens of RS making any one of those claims, than sure, add it under the "see also" section. I guess the point is, since [[Muhammad]] is such a widely known topic, the bar is quite high on level and quality of RS you must present to link under the "see also" section.
:: You have to believe me? Why dont you read the [[Criticism of Muhammad]] article to see how much he's been criticized? Once again its suspicious that you're minimizing the criticism and calling it "insignificant" at the same time you're professing to be an atheist. You did say that all religions including Islam are 'silly' so, I guess its ok.
::But ok. I see your point. Yes Muhammad is a huge topic and so we must list only the biggest Reliable Sources there and so on. But again to come back to the topic, for you to say ''"They're claiming there's a death sentence, and I think thats Islamophobia and I'm going to link it there"'', is OR. This is the main topic of this whole discussion.
:::Look dude, a lot of RS exist critizing a lot of religons. Just because your culture happens to be one which critizes Islam, it doesn't mean you should try to write that POV into WP. I'm sure a number of Imams have "talked smack" about Christain's belief in Jesus. I'm not sure that critisism is "significant" in the context of Christainity itself.
::::Christianity is not the topic here. I dont have any faith system, so the term "my culture criticizes Islam" (seems like an anti-Christian statement) is not true. I don't for one second dont believe that you're an atheist. You've already said you're here to wipe out "anti-Islamic bias" which is strange. There is no such thing as an atheist where all his edits are pro-Islamic and he cant provide a single edit where his edit was critical of Islam. And we dont have to shy away from saying that. We all know we come with our own internal points of view, critical or favourable. What matters is that we follow Wikipedia policies. Thats how the whole [[Criticism of Muhammad]] article was made. My point is, we should be honest about our beliefs so they match with what they're editing but I know this isnt a requirement here. I can profess to be a Muslim for that matter but it would be strange if all my edits were anti-Islamic.

'''4)''' ''"ex-Muslims are under a death threat" is Islamophobic and hence Islamophobia should be linked there, is WP:OR. You should know that because you've been here a while since 2007. We dont do anything that is OR. We only say what reliable sources say, ''
:Sure. But let me offer a few counterpoints. A) Like it or not, you can't completely banish an editor's judgement when making an article. [[WP:OR]] doesn't suggest an editor can't do things like categorizing based off his/her judgement. A lot of stuff which is obviously true isn't explicitly stated in RS, or isn't easily found in RS. Would you suggest that we should scower every article for "see also" links which RS might not exist for and erase them? Wouldn't you accept that there are probably a few "see also" links which are appropriate & accurate but might not have good RS to back them up? B) As I mentioned above, a couple groups have made the Islamophobia claim, so it's not like I'm pulling this from thin air. C) I'd still like to get your opinion on whether you think it level-headed and neutral to go around saying "European muslims kill people who try to leave their faith"? (note, obviously I realize your opinion constitute [[WP:OR]], but humour me).
::Alright, then. Is it OK for me to say this: "Quran contains violent verses (9:5, 9:29 etc) and so I should link [[Violence]] or [[Destructive cult]] there". I'm exercising my judgement here too, right? ''"A lot of stuff which is obviously true isn't explicity stated in RS, or isn't easily found in RS."'' <---- Dito. So lets link [[Violence]] at the Quran article.
::Those couple of groups who made that claim of Islamophobia: What was the exact claim made? Who are these groups? Are they reliable sources? I can find 100 more groups that claim that Quran is full of violence. Do you get my point now.
::''"European muslims kill people who try to leave their faith"'' This is false. This is not what the article said. It said ''"Sharia schools say that they will kill the ones who leave Islam, Jami said.".'' I'll let you see what the differences are in those statements. But even if thats what the article, the OR issue still exists. For us to decide that someone saying "Euopean muslims kill anyone who leaves Islam" is Islamophobic and hence we should link Islamophobia there, is [[WP:OR]].
:::Again, the Quran is a fairly significant subject. The ''quality and quantity'' of RS you'd have to provide to suggest that the Quaran is intrisically violent, is far greater than that I have to provide to suggest the [[Central_Committee_for_Ex-Muslims]] is Islamophobic. I think you understand that the [[Central_Committee_for_Ex-Muslims]] is trying to make the point that European muslims seeking to leave thier faith should fear reprisal. I don't why you won't accept this point.
:::''Who are these groups? Are they reliable sources?'' - I provided links. Look for yourself.
::::Ok. [http://www.islamophobia-watch.com/islamophobia-watch/2007/6/22/another-boost-for-the-council-of-ex-muslims-fraud.html]. Who is Islamophobia Watch? Are they a reliable source? Maybe you contribute to the site, I'm not sure. The article says "As we've already pointed out, the Council of Ex-Muslims is a complete fraud." - are these the extremists you're saying are reliable sources? "so-called ex-Muslims", that site says. Only a Muslim says an ex-Muslim is a "so called" ex-Muslim. They use Western names to gain credibility. The author is definitely a Muslim, I will assure you of that. But the point of this again is: How are these sources reliable? The 2nd link you gave [http://www.docstoc.com/docs/15564892/CULTURAL-AND-SOCIAL-AFFAIRS-DEPARTMENT-OIC-ISLAMOPHOBIA-OBSERVATORY] (notice how I'm formatting the links. The way you did broke the thing and I fixed it): I did not see anyone here saying the Ex-Muslim group is Islamophobic. Did I miss anything?

'''5)''' Thanks for the debate. While I think your reasoning is flawed and probably slightly predijuiced by religous sentiment, you points are at least cogent and your debate is dialectic (something that WP often so sorely lacks). [[User:NickCT|NickCT]] ([[User talk:NickCT#top|talk]]) 18:42, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
::Thats ok, thanks for calling my reasoning flawed. Allow me to say that actually its your reasoning that is flawed. Seeing that you like (dialectic) debate, hopefully you're fine with me being straight up with you. The problem again is your quote:
:::''The Central Committee for Ex-Muslims contends that European muslims are under threat of death if they consider abandoning Islam. If this isn't an islamophic argument, I'm not sure what is.''
::So once again, for you to say that the above is an Islamophobic statement and then link it in the See also, is: 1) [[WP:OR]] 2) like me linking [[Violence]] in the Quran article because "If Quran 9:5 and 9:29 arent promoting violence towards non-Muslims, I dont know what is". Tell me why I would be wrong to link Violence at the Quran article.
::::1) [[WP:OR]] - I provided sources
::::2) Obviously you're cherry picking verses from the Quaran to make it fit your preconcieved notions. But if you were able to find a good quantity of high quality RS that make the same point, sure, like [[Violence]] to the article.
:::::The sources are unreliable. The 2nd source doesnt say anything. Please explain why the sources are reliable and relevant.
:::::Likewise, you're cherry picking statements from unreliable organizations to further your own point of view that supports that Islamophobia should be linked from that Ex-Muslims page.
:::::Of course there are reliable sources that connect Quran to violence. They're all listed at the [[Criticism of Quran]]. One should be forthright about the faith they believe in and their edits would tell that in case they dont want to.

::::''And again, WP:OR means you are generating an idea or fact independently.'' - you got that right. Now you have to prove that the way you linked Islamophobia was not OR (that is the primacy focus of this discussion). Look at your original statement: ''"The Central Committee for Ex-Muslims contends that European muslims are under threat of death if they consider abandoning Islam. If this isn't an islamophic argument, I'm not sure what is."'' -- how is this not OR? As mentioned above, please prove this statement is not OR, but supported by multiple reliable sources. And then ''maybe'' we would have a case for that link. I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill. As I said, what you did is like me linking [[Violence]] in the Quran article.

== Be more responsible ==

I've reverted your edit on [[Qin Gang]] that labels him as a "missing person." If Western news outlets have not seen you in some time because you got fired, that doesn't make you a missing person. You are obviously trying to push a certain agenda here ("Oh, look China disappeared someone again"), and reading your profile pretty much confirmed it. I urge you to practice restraint. Instead of liberally reading BBC articles that amount to "We don't have a clear window into Chinese internal politics" and twisting into "The former MFA is a MISSING PERSON!!!", wait. Do not make grand conclusions and try to pass them off as fact. That is for your Twitter, not an encyclopedia. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5|2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5]] ([[User talk:2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5#top|talk]]) 13:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::What is more likely is that Xi has been seeking to replace him for a few weeks, so he took Qin out of the public eye while he was looking for a replacement (who is now Wang Yi again).<br> Firing someone from the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs (or any important role) is not a split decision that gets made in one day. This happens in the West too. When someone is going to get fired, they're relieved of their duties for a couple weeks and then officially let go. For example, in the weeks leading up to the firing of Rex Tillerson and John Bolton, there were articles about them not being invited to meetings anymore.<br>
::Now, as to why he hasn't been seen, that's just not really the content that Chinese news media does. They don't get former cabinet members to disgruntled analyses of the administration in which they served like they do in the West.

You really should know by now that BLP issues are serious. and it is '''not''' forum shopping to raised BLP issues at [[WP:BLP/N]] if you feel the response you are getting to BLP concerns is not adequate. That is a key purpose of having the noticeboard. I strongly suggest you re-read BLP and quickly learn the seriousness of BLP policy. If you continue to have such an utterly unacceptable disdain for BLP after that, then you need to seriously voluntarily refraining from editing considering all situations where BLP applies or at least direct article editing.

:{{reply to|Tamzin}} - Thanks for the input and apologies on a delayed response. Obviously this converastion is a little stale now, but for the record;
:What's "sourced" is that the Chinese foreign minister fell out of favor with the CCP and was erased ([https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/27/world/asia/china-qin-gang-foreign-ministry.html NYT]) (some use the term "purged" ([https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/27/qin-gang-china-foreign-ministry-transcript-missing-replaced Gaurdian]]) after rumors of an affair with Fu, who has also gone missing ([https://qz.com/chinese-foreign-minister-qin-gang-not-seen-three-weeks-1850651547 Quartz])([https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/i-think-he-is-gone-the-strange-disappearance-of-china-s-foreign-minister-qin-gang-20230725-p5dr2v.html Sidney Morning Herald]).
:My "interpretation" as you've called it, seems to be that Fu and Qin's disappearance is a "forced disappearance".
:I don't accept that calling folks who, after displeasing the CCP, "mysteriously vanish" (RS wording, not mine ([https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2023/08/07/qin-gang-the-mysterious-case-of-chinas-disappearing-foreign-minister/70518886007/) USA Today])) "foricibly disappeared" is an "interpretation". I don't accept that that's an "interpretation", in the same sense that I don't accept that calling a person who has been decapitated, "dead", is an interpretation. It's an obvious consequence. Not an interpretation.
: I respectfully suggest that anyone who thinks that a person who "mysteriously vanish" in China after displeasing the CCP has vanished voluntarily is probably extraordinarily niave to how things work in China.
: Of course, niavity in this case is probably being blended with some CCP apologism and some BLP ultraorthodoxists, who can't accept that the fundamental rationale for BLP was to try to protect people.

Absent a successful appeal of that warning, however, what I said above about potential sanctions stands. <span style="font-family:courier"> -- [[User:Tamzin|<span style="color:#E6007A">Tamzin</span>]]</span><sup class="nowrap">&#91;[[User talk:Tamzin|<i style="color:#E6007A">cetacean needed</i>]]&#93;</sup> <small>(she&#124;they&#124;xe)</small> 18:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
:::I mean, the edit I was initially defending wasn't my own. So obviously someone agrees with me.
:::The problem is that one of the editors involved forum shopped at the BLP noticeboard.

Signature: Scott Adams RfC

[edit]

You did not sign your statement for the Scott Adams RfC. It is required, so please do so. You can see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies for examples in other RfC's. Also, another editor corrected your spelling of "controversial" in the statement, which you spelled "contraversial". Thank you. Stoarm (talk) 16:59, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Stoarm: - Thanks for the suggestion and the spelling note. I guess I've gotta fess to the typo, as it's a little hard to controdict.
I think the RfC is OK as the bot seemed to list it correctly despite my not signing. NickCT (talk) 01:19, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your signature is required. The only reason the bot listed it is because you used fictitious signatures as examples in the part that outlines how responses are to be formatted. Are you going to sign the statement? Stoarm (talk) 13:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Required by? I'll consider signing it. I'm not sure exactly what the value would be. Is your concern that RfC isn't neutrally worded or something? NickCT (talk) 13:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter what the value is. It's required. I'm not sure why you're making such a basic issue so difficult. You are a long-time editor and I'm sure know when signatures are and are not required. I provided WP:SIG, which I'd have to assume you're very familiar with already. Are you claiming some sort of exemption from this requirement? It's your RfC and so you should obviously sign it, just as all other editors do in their RfCs. Are you going to sign it? Stoarm (talk) 14:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am long time editor. I've done dozen of RfCs. Signed few of them. This is first time anyone has complained. Seems like a you thing. NickCT (talk) 14:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's a requirement thing. And apparently the administrator who signed it for you agrees. If you've done dozens of them but have only signed a few of them, that's wrong. You should sign all of them, just like it's done in all the other RfCs. Your uncivil and uncooperative behavior over such a basic issue is disappointing. It's a shame that it took an administrator to correct what you refused to do. Yes, you're a long time editor; so you should know better and do better. Stoarm (talk) 14:57, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When did I refuse to do it? I said I was considering it. You're either intentionally mischaracterizing or having trouble reading.
RedRose seemed to think it's important for neutrality. Since I've asked you whether you felt the RfC was neutral and you didn't respond, I can only assume you disagree. So again, what do you feel the benefit is?
You don't think it's a little goofy that you were trying to make a point about how important it was to sign, when it was in fact, already signed? If it was really that important, wouldn't you have recognized? NickCT (talk) 16:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: The issue is now moot. I just noticed that an administrator appropriately signed for you since you failed to do so. You can also see that their edit summary says you violated WP:RFCNEUTRAL by making yours the first !vote. In the future, I hope you will follow the requirement to sign any RfCs that you initiate. I was trying to be nice by asking you (multiple times) to please sign it, rather than making it a noticeboard issue for an admin to handle. Stoarm (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see that. Acutally I think the sig was in the wrong place. @Redrose64: - For the record, I try to make a really clear distinction between the neutrally phrased RfC and my non-neutral position on the RfC by separating them into different sections.
Out of curiousity, does anyone feel like I actually phrased this RfC non-neutrally, or are we arguing about angels on the head of a pin? If you feel like I was being non-neutral in posing the question, I'm happy to consider that. NickCT (talk) 14:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's nothing to do with sections. WP:RFCNEUTRAL says Legobot will copy the markup of your statement (from the end of the {{rfc}} tag through the first timestamp) to the list of active RfCs. Note that this says timestamp, not signature, and in this edit we find that it copied up to and including the "13:01, 25 September 2050 (UTC)", even though it is clearly a bogus timestamp and the preceding signature used a fake username. Quite apart from the fact that bogus timestamps can cause problems for Legobot further down the line, a major problem is that having the line beginning "Support Option A" included in the RfC listings has given the impression that a real opinion was part of the RfC statement, which goes against Keep the RfC statement (and heading) neutrally worded. My edit placed a real signature and a correct timestamp (copied from further down the page) before those non-neutral items, with this effect; but my effort was nullified by this edit, with this effect.
In making this edit, Floquenbeam (talk · contribs) has not helped matters by dropping their own sig into the middle of the statement, with this effect. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:11, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Redrose64: - Mea culpa. I messed up the bot. I hope we can all appreciate the "fake" usernames/timestamps were not an attempt to decieve anyone. I've tried to correct it. NickCT (talk) 00:52, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

[edit]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Stoarm (talk) 20:39, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys. This conversation seemed to disappear before I got a chance to see it, so I'm responding here.
Geez..... I try to tell someone they're good at something and this is what I get.
@Ad Orientem: - I'm not sure if you want to come down from the ivory tower that is ANI, but this debate could be quickly resolved by simply closing Talk:Scott_Adams#RfC_:_Use_"racist"_in_Wikipedia's_voice?. A certain editor seems to be having trouble letting go of language that this RfC has shown is not right. NickCT (talk) 13:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted a link to the RfC at BLPN. If the general trajectory of the discussion doesn't change over the next few days, I will consider closing it. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On a side note... Geez..... I try to tell someone they're good at something and this is what I get.
Tread carefully with the snark. My note at ANI was intended as a friendly word of caution. But being blunt, some of your past commentary has had an abrasive edge to it that is not conducive to cordial debate. I would strongly prefer not to have to address this subject again. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:42, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't start the fires Ad. And I certainly don't go whining about other's disruptive behaviors.
I appreciate your helping with the RfC, b/c many others wouldn't have bothered, but you are pandering to bad behavior. NickCT (talk) 19:47, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you have specific concerns about other editors, you are free to raise those in the appropriate forum. The subject here are your biting comments directed at/about another editor. And they are to stop. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:52, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to raise them. I'm going to fix them. As I sought to end edit warring w/ this RfC. Let's finish up the RfC. We can eliminate the language I sought to eliminate a month ago and we can end the wikidrama. NickCT (talk) 20:00, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop the slow edit war at Scott Adams

[edit]

It's being discussed in the RFC right now, so please stop edit warring and let it sit at the WP:WRONGVERSION until it's closed. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:19, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish: - Fine. I do think there's some level of perversity in us all looking at something, all agreeing it's wrong, then saying "let it be". If it's wrong, why not fix it? NickCT (talk) 17:35, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because someone reverted what you saw as the fix. No reason to go back and forth with the edit while there is an ongoing discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The RfC is basically down to choice between the current language and two possible alternatives. No one, not even its initial proponent, supports the current language. Beyond making a point, why not just change it now? NickCT (talk) 18:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because someone objected, and edit warring isn't the way to handle it. As it's already being discussed it can be left at the WP:WRONGVERSION until a consensus emerges. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:56, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guess we can allow a minority opinion to filibuster the process. NickCT (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Edit warring is a no no. It's not complicated. There are a few exceptions (vandalism, copyright violations and serious BLP stuff) but that's it. It doesn't matter if you like them or not. Themz the rules until they aren't. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Be more responsible

[edit]

I've reverted your edit on Qin Gang that labels him as a "missing person." If Western news outlets have not seen you in some time because you got fired, that doesn't make you a missing person. You are obviously trying to push a certain agenda here ("Oh, look China disappeared someone again"), and reading your profile pretty much confirmed it. I urge you to practice restraint. Instead of liberally reading BBC articles that amount to "We don't have a clear window into Chinese internal politics" and twisting into "The former MFA is a MISSING PERSON!!!", wait. Do not make grand conclusions and try to pass them off as fact. That is for your Twitter, not an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5 (talk) 13:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IP. Thanks for the comment.
The addition you reverted wasn't actually something that I'd put in.
That said, I'm pretty sure "China disappeared someone again" is a fairly accurate description of what's happened. What's the alternative viewpoint? NickCT (talk) 14:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What is more likely is that Xi has been seeking to replace him for a few weeks, so he took Qin out of the public eye while he was looking for a replacement (who is now Wang Yi again).
Firing someone from the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs (or any important role) is not a split decision that gets made in one day. This happens in the West too. When someone is going to get fired, they're relieved of their duties for a couple weeks and then officially let go. For example, in the weeks leading up to the firing of Rex Tillerson and John Bolton, there were articles about them not being invited to meetings anymore.
Now, as to why he hasn't been seen, that's just not really the content that Chinese news media does. They don't get former cabinet members to disgruntled analyses of the administration in which they served like they do in the West. 2A02:AB88:C86:4E00:4517:2B97:E05D:DEA5 (talk) 16:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the thoughts. If you're equating not getting invited to meetings to being disappeared, I'm not sure we're going to find much common ground. NickCT (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Deeply concerned about your disdain for BLP

[edit]

I am deeply concerned from your comments at Talk:Fu Xiaotian like [1] that you appear to have a disdain for WP:BLP that is completely inappropriate for an editor of your experience. You really should know by now that BLP issues are serious. and it is not forum shopping to raised BLP issues at WP:BLP/N if you feel the response you are getting to BLP concerns is not adequate. That is a key purpose of having the noticeboard. I strongly suggest you re-read BLP and quickly learn the seriousness of BLP policy. If you continue to have such an utterly unacceptable disdain for BLP after that, then you need to seriously voluntarily refraining from editing considering all situations where BLP applies or at least direct article editing. If you fail to do that and instead continue to ignore BLP concerns or treat them as unimportant, don't be surprised if you receive a BLP topic ban. Nil Einne (talk) 03:39, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nil Einne: - Disdain for BLP? I have every dain for BLP. BLP is the only thing that protects us from trolls harming the reputation of innocent subjects w/ shoddy research and rumor mongering. BLP is about protecting people.
Have you considered that the folks on the other side of this argument are using BLP as an excuse to harm people? Let me ask you this; if you got snatched by a foreign govnernment, would you want your Wikipedia article to note that? Or would you want it to use somekind of euphimism? NickCT (talk) 11:47, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration enforcement warning for BLP violations

[edit]

Hi, NickCT. After reviewing the situation regarding Fu Xiaotian (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Qin Gang (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), I am issuing you the following logged warning under the contentious topic procedures for the BLP topic area, in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator and informed by comments of other experienced editors at WP:BLPN and WP:AN/I:

You are warned for repeatedly restoring challenged content to two BLPs, without support from reliable sources but rather based on your own interpretation. Further restoration of challenged content to BLPs may lead to a topic ban from BLPs related to the Chinese Communist Party or from BLPs in general, or other appropriate sanctions, without further warning.

-- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:58, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamzin: - Thanks for the input and apologies on a delayed response. Obviously this converastion is a little stale now, but for the record;
What's "sourced" is that the Chinese foreign minister fell out of favor with the CCP and was erased (NYT) (some use the term "purged" (Gaurdian]) after rumors of an affair with Fu, who has also gone missing (Quartz)(Sidney Morning Herald).
My "interpretation" as you've called it, seems to be that Fu and Qin's disappearance is a "forced disappearance".
I don't accept that calling folks who, after displeasing the CCP, "mysteriously vanish" (RS wording, not mine (USA Today)) "foricibly disappeared" is an "interpretation". I don't accept that that's an "interpretation", in the same sense that I don't accept that calling a person who has been decapitated, "dead", is an interpretation. It's an obvious consequence. Not an interpretation.
I respectfully suggest that anyone who thinks that a person who "mysteriously vanish" in China after displeasing the CCP has vanished voluntarily is probably extraordinarily niave to how things work in China.
Of course, niavity in this case is probably being blended with some CCP apologism and some BLP ultraorthodoxists, who can't accept that the fundamental rationale for BLP was to try to protect people. As we ought to try to protect people who have been "disappeared". NickCT (talk) 15:20, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it. However, Wikipedia works based on consensus, and as far as I can tell not a single other person has agreed with your interpretation, across two talkpages and two noticeboard threads. Failure to heed consensus, particularly on a BLP, goes from a content issue to a conduct issue, and that's why I issued this warning. If you'd like to appeal the warning, you may follow the procedures at Wikipedia:Contentious topics § Appeals and amendments. Absent a successful appeal of that warning, however, what I said above about potential sanctions stands. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 18:26, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, the edit I was initially defending wasn't my own. So obviously someone agrees with me.
The problem is that one of the editors involved forum shopped at the BLP noticeboard. As much as I like those guys, they are the sort that won't accept a person who was decapitated is also dead, unless you produce a source that explicitly uses the word "dead".

There ain't nothing wrong with being interested in conspiracy theories. I'm interested in them myself. Is there a reason you guys aren't comfortable with your interests? NickCT (talk) 18:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
so then you doubled-down and continued to misuse an article Talk page for a wholly irrelevant purpose. do you think you're clever and nobody notices? soibangla (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. NickCT (talk) 13:00, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You keep harassing editors and making fun of them as conspiracy theorists instead of discussing the edits. Superb Owl (talk) 17:18, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're pursuing me to my talkpage, so don't accuse me of harrassing anyone.
