News, reports and features from the English Wikipedia's weekly journal about Wikipedia and Wikimedia

April 2019

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Fraser Anning shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You know the rules, it was your edit that was contested, YOU need to take it to the talk page. Bacondrum (talk) 23:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, you added the bit about a conspiracy theory - that's what I'm objecting to. StAnselm (talk) 23:44, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Fraser Anning, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Your actions are borderline edit warring, StAnselm. Repeatedly removing a sourced statement about Fraser Anning's endorsement of the "Cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory, despite being repeatedly warned against doing so, is entering the territory of vandalism and it shall be halted accordingly. Stop trying to blank sourced data. Adrian Fey (talk) 02:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you've breached 3RR. Would you kindly self-revert? PeterTheFourth (talk) 07:07, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ivey

Thanks for your response and civility. After you reverted my edit, I looked at your history for the past few days and noticed the title of the edit, and used it as my own subject line. But having read your subsequent response I saw that you had reverted the same text on the same day it was posted, April 25, 2018. Since you're so prolific on Wikipedia, you had possibly forgotten that. Hopefully we'll get some feedback from other editors. Activist (talk) 11:01, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you're saying: if you're talking about this edit, it was a partial restoration of some material added by a new editor. A salvage job, if you like. StAnselm (talk) 11:07, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

R. C. Sproul Jr. - Reverted good faith edit

R. C. Sproul Jr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._C._Sproul_Jr.

Hi, thank you for your experience in regards to this article and the stats on Mrs Sproul Jr's marriages. I have a great deal of respect for RC Sproul Sr and wish to cover matters wisely with his son.

I certainly agree that the website ( http://rc-sproul-jr.blogspot.com/2019/04/rc-sproul-jr-abandons-reformed-faith.html ) would not be considered a reliable source under most circumstances, however, Mrs Sproul Jr herself is the source within the website. She entered a long detailed entry which included the statement: "Yes, I have had four marriages and whether or not I say it was their fault or mine, nonetheless it is the choices I live with." On the source I included the name and time of her entry for easy reference:

Source location: "Lisa Sproul4:21 PM" (Wednesday, April 03, 2019)

I think it best to err on the side of grace and would not having included this information except that she made it public knowledge on the internet.

You are the pro, though, and I'm relatively a new. What do you think?

Beth Timken (talk) 03:56, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, for one thing, it's not verifiable. How do we know it was really her? StAnselm (talk) 05:01, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input ...that was my first concern, too!

The questions I asked myself were -- why would someone with a grudge against Sproul Jr write a long and lengthy detailed defense of him in his wife's name? In the reverse, why would a friend of Sproul Jr write a long and lengthy detailed defensive him in his wife's name? His wife has had a clear online presence and is very capable to write any defense, herself.

The tone and character of the writing is consistent with the other writings Mrs Sproul Jr has online. The knowledge she has about her husband's upcoming book release is also an indicator that she is the writer.

The details about her prior marriages are confirmed by her Facebook account with her relationships with her children and stepchildren.

I think if we apply Occam's razor, the fair conclusion is the writer is who they claims to be -- Mrs Sproul Jr.

What are your thoughts? Beth Timken (talk) 19:45, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts are that we should follow Wikipedia policies and not use self-published sources in biographies of living people. It's also irrelevant for this article, though it would be relevant for a biography of Lisa Sproul. StAnselm (talk) 20:35, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

_____

Using this source would fall into the parameters Wikipedia has for using self-published articles about living people:

Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the requirement in the case of self-published sources that they be published experts in the field, so long as:

1. the material is not unduly self-serving and exceptional in nature;

2. it does not involve claims about third parties;

3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;

4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity;

5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Identifying_and_using_self-published_works#For_claims_by_self-published_authors_about_themselves

If you still don't think this information should be included I'll leave it as is. Just let me know. Beth Timken (talk) 21:38, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I still don't think so. The above guidelines might apply on Lisa's article (if she had one) but not on RC's. StAnselm (talk) 23:41, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts and Prayers edits

Can you please roll back your edits as i consider them unwarrented or vandalism. Bodconn (talk) 11:22, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The content removed was secular, legal status along with other contributor content. There is no clerical confligtation as the talk page was open to broad planetary references and religious leaders stating that prayer is only of use when accompanied by suitable corrective actions. So with respect will you rollback the edits. I have no interest in ancient anthropologic theories. The issue is the confligration of clerical spiritulism being used as a tool to obstruct secular legal discussion, a mild case of the red and the blue napolionic war.... with more modern casualties unfortunately. Is this a bias as written above but not outlining other legal states responses, adoption is not expect but to have the ability to review would be usefull.

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1!

Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of pressie and reformed denominations in australia

The reason I added the eschatology column was to give the Ulster pressies their historic premil focus. I just added post/amill for the others for this purpose. I think it's important to keep it in. --One Salient Oversight (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but you need to source it for all the other denominations. That will be almost impossible. StAnselm (talk) 02:48, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What about combining "Gospel offer" and "Eschatology" into a column called "Distinctives"? StAnselm (talk) 03:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal

Hello! I came across the article for the URCNA and it is very bad. I was wondering if you wanted to help me improve the article. I'm the very long run I would like to bring it to BE Status, but that is not going to happen in a while. I ask you because you seem to share my Calvinistic beliefs, and as the URCNA is a Calvinist denomination, I figured you also might be good person to help. Thanks for considering this, Yours, Puddleglum2.0 Have a talk? 21:41, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My reply to your recent actions on the Rod Dreher page

The user StAnselm recently removed extensive, carefully sourced additions to this article (made by me). He gave the rationale that these additions were recently challenged. This is incorrect. Prior additions to these had been challenged; these more recent additions are different and met the objections in the previous challenge - that is, they relied on secondary rather than primary sources, cited multiple sources, included qualifications relating to Dreher's disavowal of some of the language in "Camp of the Saints", and used neutral, non-POV language.

StAnselm also removed information regarding a controversy related to Tommy Curry, citing "undue weight" and "relying on a single source". The sourcing can easily be rectified - the controversy, and Dreher's role in it, was widely reported - including in Snopes, the Guardian, the Chronicle of Higher Education and elsewhere. I do not understand the attribution of "undue weight" - how can it not be notable or significant that Dreher published a misleading excerpt from a talk which resulted in significant racial harassment and intimidation of a scholar, an action which has been widely and extensively criticized in mainstream publications, and which had significant consequences for this individual and his family? If this is not notable, then nothing in Dreher's career is.

Likewise, there is no justification for the claim that providing details of Dreher's views on sexuality, gender, race and immigration are not notable or are somehow "undue". These views, as shown in the multiple citations from mainstream and reliable publications which I provided, have aroused extensive controversy, and are thus by any definition notable and relevant. Anyone familiar with Dreher's blog and other writings will know that he publishes with extreme frequency on sexuality, gender, race and immigration: how can reporting his views on these topics be giving them undue weight, when he himself clearly gives these views significant weight? I could just as easily argue that the section on the "Benedict Option" book gives "undue weight" to this, as Dreher's blog is far more widely read than his books.

As detailed in the career section, Dreher's blog receives over a million page views per month, making him a significant and influential public figure. It is thus appropriate and reasonable that he should have a detailed Wikipedia page, which provides summaries of his major concerns and opinions, as well as the major cultural reactions that these opinions have generated. It is also entirely appropriate that instances of journalistic misconduct, as with the Curry case (which caused a major scandal and had significant effects for an individual and his family), should be reported.

I note that StAnselm retained my edits to the "Career" section, presumably because these edits reflected well on Mr Dreher. I also note that StAnselm has not changed the section on the Benedict Option book, despite this consisting mainly of some laudatory cherry-picked quotations clearly designed to place the author in a positive light. Perhaps StAnselm defines "notability" and "dueness" simply as information which happens to place Dreher in a good light? This is clearly a misinterpretation of Wikipedia's guidelines, in which "notability" and "dueness" can cover both positive and negative information.

As I say, I will add additional sourcing with respect to the Tommy Curry case. Other than this, I don't see any reasonable justification for deleting my most recent additions. Unless rationale can be provided by StAnselm or other users, I will restore them. (It could be argued that for balance the section on the Benedict Option should also be extended to include a wider range of reactions - I am happy to do this.) --Robert12345678901 (talk) 14:20, 25 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

...for your touch-up at the Francis Chan article. I am glad for other careful attention. My only aim is to identify sourced vs unsourced content, then to check the former and to label the latter. I have no "horse in this race," so to speak, just want what is presented to be reliable to third-party sources. (With regard to those sources, I am inexpert, but believe CT to likely be reliable in this arena, and the others—well, these will have to be later checked by experts in this area of scholarship, after I am done.
