Coming here to ask about a block or other admin action that I have issued on another WMF wiki where I am an admin? Please discuss on your talk page there (if you have Talk Page Access) and ping me as it has nothing to do with enwiki and is outside of its processes. Please also do not assume that that WMF wiki has the same blocking policy or processes as enwiki. If you have any questions about another WMF wiki or my actions on such edition, please leave it on my talk page on that wiki and I will see it as a notification/get back to you. enwiki is not the appropriate place to discuss concerns from other WMF wikis

If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please let me know. I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please don't interpret an error on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. I ask you to simply bring it to my attention; I am always open to civil discussion. Thank you. TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)]][reply]

If I see something such as a box, template, image, etc., on another user/user talk page that catches my eye, I will "borrow" it. More than likely without asking.  ;) TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)]][reply]

Hi, I wanted to inquire as to the protocol/custom for editing pages where the neutrality/tone is challenged. Can the page just be revised or is there a form of review process? --ExiaMesa (talk) 22:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ExiaMesa: If the tone or neutrality is challenged, typically we should come to a consensus on that article's talk page about how to proceed by following WP:BRD. What is this question pertaining to, though? Without that piece of information it is difficult to accurately advise. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 04:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My question was generalized, its one of the more common disclaimers I keep seeing and while I was aware of the guidelines for fixing it, I wanted to make sure there wasn't a form of unwritten custom for handling it. Thanks for the help. ExiaMesa (talk) 00:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please how can I add a biography on wikipedia (extensive article)? I have all the necessary information and links. --Stephen Ini (talk) 03:23, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Stephen Ini:! I would recommend looking at this guide, this notability policy, and this guide to referencing. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 05:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've made a few contributions to the dumpster fire well-oiled machine that is DYK's prep sets and backrooms. Welcome! Prep setting is a job that earns you a lot of trouts, but also lots of thanks. One thing is WP:DYKVAR recommends against putting more than four biographies or four US-related hooks in one set, so try to keep that in mind. Also, I see you're an admin, which means you can also contribute by promoting preparation sets to the queue (see WP:DYKAI). Happy setting! ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: "Dumpster fire" hahahaha. Thanks for the tip! I will read up on that closer, I missed that guidelines page mention in Wikipedia:Did you know/Prep builder instructions and it wasn't in DYKAI. Starting slowly deliberately rather than diving in head-first so I learn without messing too much up. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 16:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! For semi-protected pages, what would be the best way to go about making edits to gain experience and be able to edit them? Also, how does one enter a "Talk" section? Thank you for your time. --Hestatus24 (talk) 01:03, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear User:Crystallizedcarbon and User:TheSandDoctor, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention several disruptive edits made to the Wikipedia page of Gurbaksh Chahal. These edits have altered the content significantly, adding undue negative emphasis and removing positive information that balanced the article. I kindly request your intervention to revert the page to the version as of July 31, 2022, which represented a balanced view reached through consensus. curprev 19:21, 31 July 2022‎ Crystallizedcarbon talk contribs‎ 57,904 bytes −1,185‎ Restored an old revision of this page, as edited by Vanisaac (talk | contribs) at 21:28, 27 July 2022. The status quo version was a hard to reach consensus that required very long discussions. Any change to this highly controversial point must also be reached by consensus first on the talk page. Tag: Manual revert. Summary of Negative Edits Added: Infobox: 2022 Version: Did not include "Criminal charges: Domestic violence battery." Lead Section: Legal issues involving violence against women were introduced prominently in the opening lines, giving undue weight to these aspects. Domestic Violence Section: Detailed and graphic descriptions of the alleged incidents of domestic violence were added after already being reversed by User:TheSandDoctor and others. BNN Breaking Section: A dedicated section to BNN Breaking was added, giving undue prominence to this event while creating its own Wikipedia page. Detailed Chronological Changes: November 20, 2022 - Edits by User: Chisme Removed Positive Content: Gravity4: Simplified details about the company's achievements and innovations. Removed Content: "Gravity4's main area of business was gathering useful customer data regarding their user experience to allow marketers to improve their ad targets. This company also started working in the AI sector and launched a marketing cloud for blockchain."

Added Negative Content - Edits by User: Chisme Domestic Violence Section: Added specific details about the number of times Chahal allegedly hit his girlfriend and the inadmissible video footage. Added Content: "Video footage of the assault, taken by a camera in Chahal's bedroom ceiling, showed Chahal smothering the woman with a pillow and hitting and kicking her 117 times over a half-hour period." March 2, 2024 - Edits by Users: Hemiauchenia, Belbury, Amigao, Gråbergs Gråa Sång Added Negative Content: BNN Breaking Section: Dedicated a section to BNN Breaking, separate already from its negative Wikipedia page created. Added Content: "In 2022, Chahal founded the now-defunct news website and aggregator BNN Breaking in Hong Kong. The website was subject to several controversies regarding the accuracy of its reporting, and all of its accounts were suspended from Twitter in June 2022 for violations of the site's policy on spam and platform manipulation. As of March 2024, Google appeared to no longer show search results for the website. The BNN website was deleted and moved to the website TrimFeed. Trimfeed was closed after The New York Times informed Chahal they were doing a report on BNN." March 2, 2024 - Edits by Users: Amigao Added Negative Content: Infobox Added Criminal charges: Domestic violence battery to Infobox Added Content: "In 2022, Chahal founded the now-defunct news website = June 6, 2024 - Edits by User: Gråbergs Gråa Sång Added Negative Content: Lead Section: Introduced legal issues involving violence against women prominently in the opening sentences. Added Content: "However, legal issues involving violence against women have resulted in his removal from two of his businesses.." June 6, 2024 - Edits by User: Gråbergs Gråa Sång Added Negative Content: BNN Breaking Section: Updated the section with details about controversies and the suspension of Twitter accounts. Added Content: "The website was subject to several controversies regarding the accuracy of its reporting, and all of its accounts were suspended from Twitter in June 2022 for violations of the site's policy on spam and platform manipulation." Positive Content Removed: Edits by User: Chisme Gravity4: 2022 Version: "Gravity4's main area of business was gathering useful customer data regarding their user experience to allow marketers to improve their ad targets. This company also started working in the AI sector and launched a marketing cloud for blockchain." 2022 Version: "The company further launched two main applications named MonaChain and MonaBrowse that aimed to target fraud and ad blockers." Philanthropy and Honors: Edits by User: Chisme 2022 Version: "In 2012, after the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, he committed US$1 million to found BeProud (since renamed to Chahal Foundation), a charitable foundation that supports the families of hate crime victims and combats child trafficking in India." Specific Other Negative Edits Added To Date: Domestic Violence Section Edits by User: Chisme Added detailed and graphic descriptions of the incidents. Added Content: "Video footage of the assault, taken by a camera in Chahal's bedroom ceiling, showed Chahal smothering the woman with a pillow and hitting and kicking her 117 times over a half-hour period." Given these changes, it is clear that there has been a pattern of disruptive editing aimed at highlighting negative aspects of Gurbaksh Chahal's life while removing or minimizing his career achievements and contributions. I kindly request that the page be reverted to the version as of July 31, 2022, which can be found here: July 31, 2022 version. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your efforts in maintaining the integrity and neutrality of this Wikipedia page. 103.139.133.12 (talk) 11:15, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
