Istrian-Dalmatian Exodus
editHello Buidhe. Could you validate that this edit where these sources are reliable and in-fact state that the entire exodus of 350,000 Italians was ethnic cleansing? Not even the article on the topic states this outright. Thanks. OyMosby (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I mean I do find this editing problematic, but you really should not be posting this to my talk page, as it might be construed as canvassing. (t · c) buidhe 03:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Understood. I had seen that you vetted the sourcing of past additions to the page so figured you would be a good editor to reach out to for insight. I don’t have the best of luck of being able to access the citations. I assumed you might have better methods of accessing academic portals. Cheers OyMosby (talk) 04:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- OyMosby Most are available on WP:The Wikipedia Library, which you should have access to. (t · c) buidhe 04:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

The arbitration case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5 has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
- AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
- Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
- Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion.
- WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each:
Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
- Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
- The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
- The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
- Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
- Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.

- If a sockpuppet investigations clerk or member of the CheckUser team feels that third-party input is not helpful at an investigation, they are encouraged to use their existing authority to ask users to stop posting to that investigation or to SPI as a whole. In addition to clerks and members of the CheckUser team, patrolling administrators may remove or collapse contributions that impede the efficient resolution of investigations without warning.

No wood for the trees
editI think it's hilarious that in the upper echelons of administratordom, no one seems to be able to conceptualize any possible tool that they could use other than TBANs. In terms of sanctions against individuals alone, the diversity that here eludes is ever present at ANI, where all sorts of bespoke and custom bans frequently emerge. Sometimes these are TBANs with carveouts, but also notably, there are a range of bans that I have seen introduced specific to RFCs or certain types of RFCs. Editors who have frequently opened bad AfDs or RMs to the point of disruption have found themselves subject to bans for those specific RFC types, for example. Thus, in cases where evidence might rely heavily on RM content, for instance, you might think ... Iskandar323 (talk) 05:00, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Tomasz Jedrowski
editHello, Buidhe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Tomasz Jedrowski".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 03:08, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
