You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Merging articles ==
Hello Bob! I was wondering if you could help me merge the articles [[Ministry of Popular Power for Interior, Justice and Peace]] and [[List of Ministers of Interior and Justice of Venezuela]]. Take a look and tell me what you think. --[[User:ZiaLater|<span style="text-shadow:#C0C0C0 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em"><span style="color: ForestGreen">''ZiaLater''</span>]] ([[User talk:ZiaLater|<span style="color: ForestGreen">talk</span></span>]]) 05:48, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

== Bridgefest 2009 ==

Bob, having spent a lot of time on Wayback and 'foreign' WP, I got the impression that BF2009 was probably genuine, it was organised from Canada and then appears to have disappeared for 4-5 years. I found one functioning ref on a foreign WP, but failed to copy it. So prob is that it WAS real, but whether notable is another matter.

==User concerns==
Hello again Bob... As I dive deeper into my Wikipedia edits I have encountered another interesting user, [[User:Kriswarner|Kriswarner]]. Kris Warner is [http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/canada-2012-08.pdf a former staff member of CEPR] and has been making edits on articles involving [[CEPR]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Center_for_Economic_and_Policy_Research&oldid=631671144 (where he nearly blanked the entire article)], and also [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deborah_James&action=history removed content] from (probably a former work acquaintance) [[Deborah James]]. Since we have had our recent situation with a user who has deleted work without any sign of making valuable contributions, I just wanted to bring this to your attention and see if we have a similar case occurring.--[[User:ZiaLater|<span style="text-shadow:#C0C0C0 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em"><span style="color: ForestGreen">''ZiaLater''</span>]] ([[User talk:ZiaLater|<span style="color: ForestGreen">talk</span></span>]]) 19:31, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

:Thanks. I'll have a look.
:There are lots of different conflicting views - lots of people want change of various kinds, some want the status quo - but the worst possible outcome we can have is that we get into the habit of responding to any new proposal with "''People suggested change before and nothing happened, so why bother with this one?''".

== Looking for collaborators ==

Hi Bobrayner, I’m currently working on the page for [[David M. Cote]] and noticed that you're a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Business|WikiProject Business]]. I'm fairly new to Wikipeida (at least on the editing side) and I’m reaching out to experienced editors to collaborate with on future projects, so that I might more quickly learn the ins and outs of what makes a good article (in practice, rather than theory), as well as more about the Wikipedia community in general. I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions you might have for me on my Wikipedian adventure. Thanks! --[[User:FacultiesIntact|FacultiesIntact]] ([[User talk:FacultiesIntact|talk]]) 00:09, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
:OK. Usually I'm keen to help improve business articles - they're often neglected or have serious quality problems - but [[David M. Cote]] already looks relatively good. Is there any particular goal you have in mind for the article? And do you have any connection to {{user|Presto808}} ...? [[User:Bobrayner|bobrayner]] ([[User talk:Bobrayner|talk]]) 11:29, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
::Hey, thanks for the response, somehow it slipped under my radar. As for [[David M. Cote]], I've been working on a draft to add some more content here on [[User:FacultiesIntact/sandbox|my sandbox]] and I've disclosed my COI on the [[Talk:David M. Cote|talk page]]. To answer your second question, I'm on the same team as {{user|Presto808}}, but they've since been unable to continue work on this article, so I picked up where they left off. I'd appreciate any help publishing the content if there's consensus that it's all Wikipedia-compliant. --[[User:FacultiesIntact|FacultiesIntact]] ([[User talk:FacultiesIntact|talk]]) 07:55, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

:The main problem behind ARBEE and ARBMAC was, of course, the tribal editing: Tag-teaming, and overlooking bad things done by fellow-travellers whilst sniping at anybody who disagrees with you, and so on. I am therefore surprised that you warned me for making two reverts, but didn't warn your ally who has ''repeatedly'' editwarred on that page. If you'd like to start a thread at Arbcom or on some other dramaboard, I will happily provide several diffs that make this highly asymmetric response - and other tendentious behaviour - quite clear.

And you're right, I didn't warn the other person, and should have, warning you too. But I was letting you know because you violated ARBEE, and if you'd continue to do that, you'd need to be appraised of the rules at least. As to "other tendentious behavior," if you're referring to me, I reject that accusation and would be interested to know what you mean. -[[User:Darouet|Darouet]] ([[User talk:Darouet|talk]]) 01:42, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Surprised at you removing a POV tag ==

Hi there

I consider myself an editor who has gained in experience and don't go around adding POV tags for nothing. I did add one however to the [[Annexation of Crimea by Russia]] article as whether the facts of what happened amounted to annexation or accession of a state that declared independence following a referendum. I feel that the title clearly takes sides in this dispute and as such goes against wikipedia policy of seeking to find a NPOV way forward. Other terms could be used that make clear that the territory was tsken over without implying whether that take over was 'annexation' or 'accession'. I have been trying to have a discussion with a number of editors about this point on the talk page. I'm surprised that you would remove a tag when there is clearly a dispute over whether the title is NPOV or not and when the matter is being actively discussed. Perhaps you may wish to reconsider your decision to remove the tag (meantime at least) and add a contribution to the talk page instead?

Hey Bobrayner, per [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_financial_system&diff=639589114&oldid=638975476 this edit] I am indifferent to either spelling, but the GA reviewer called it out specifically as departing from the rest of the article's American English. It's immaterial in my opinion, so I'm fine with your revert. Happy New Year by the way, [[User:John Shandy`|<span style="font: bold italic 11pt Candara; text-shadow: #8ca5bd 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em;"><span style="color: #2c7c9f">John</span> <span style="color: #1d5575">Shandy`</span></span>]] • [[User_talk:John Shandy`|talk]] 06:01, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
:No worries. Sorry for the hassle.

I'm not really sure where you're from and I don't really care but I see no reason for you to insist on continuing to point out that I was involved in canvassing, POV pushing, etc. Everybody has a different opinion and I appreciate your's just as much as anyone else's, I just don't see that you do the same. If I say what my opinion is, which I think that everybody has the right to be informed as well as to be able to speak their mind, then it's not my fault if someone informed me. I happen to think that it's a great misfortune for so many people not to be informed and you automatically say that's "POV pushing and canvassing"??? 

Nobody asked you to contact me today and that borderlines on stalking and it's not the first time you did that. If you persist in doing so, I will be forced to report you to the admins. I can also attest to the fact that there is a relatively large group of people here who don't appreciate your behavior either. Have a great day.

== Edit war and personal attacks at [[Organ theft in Kosovo]] ==

Hello, Bobrayner.  I'm concerned about some of your recent edits to [[Organ theft in Kosovo]].  You have made the same revert six times in the last three days, and your edit summaries comment on other editors rather than the content.  You appear to be involved in an edit war on this article and I see no attempt to discuss the content dispute on the talk page.  If you believe an editor is socking (e.g. by evading a block), you should log the evidence at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations]]; making accusations of socking in edit summaries is a personal attack.  Cheers, [[User:Bovlb|Bovlb]] ([[User talk:Bovlb|talk]]) 20:13, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
:SPI - although far from the only place where sockpuppetry is handled - is not ideal for this, because the standard template for SPIs requires a single sockmaster, and I'm not sure who the sockmaster is here. (I have a couple of ideas, but that's not sufficient in our current system). If you are familiar with this topic area you would surely know it's awash with sockpuppets, to the extent that we can't be sure who's controlling them; and of course checkusers don't want to associate an IP address with a named user, which unfortunately limits our ability to deal with abuse.
:So, as the rules stand, we're stuck in a vicious circle: I can't identify who's behind this particular sockpuppet without checkuser; you're not going to block the usual Serb stalker-sockpuppet; the fact that I even assert that this problem still exists is now regarded as a personal attack. (On the other hand, when they make [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Serbia&diff=prev&oldid=642130271 obvious and venomous] personal attacks, people stand by and do nothing). The rules are stacked in the abuser's favour. [[User:Bobrayner|bobrayner]] ([[User talk:Bobrayner|talk]]) 20:43, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

== Removed shades from yellow ==

Hi.  On the Shades of Yellow page I noticed that about a year ago you removed a number of shades because of a circular sourcing issue.  I found them because links from the page on the List of Colors were broken.  The shades were added by a user AlanM1.  The information is useful and I was wondering what the best way to get it back in.  At least so that the links work again.  Would replacing the information but having a "citation needed" for the source be satisfactory?  Thanks for your help.

:::Regretfully, I fully agree with [[User:Jurriaan]]'s original post. Some of Bobrayner's edits consist of removing content that is entirely unsourced or very poorly sourced, and I generally support these edits, although in many cases  reliable source(s) in support of the content can be found by spending no more than a few short minutes doing an online search. However, Bob almost never removes unsourced or poorly sourced content that supports his personal POV (strongly pro-capitalism, strongly pro-US-government, strongly right wing, strongly against left-wing). And if an editor removes unsourced or poorly sourced content that supports Bob's right wing POV, Bob puts the content right back into the article. Bob has done this in many WP articles.

==Argentine pages==
Greetings Bobrayner! I am currently looking for any third party help or opinions here. I often write about political corruption and have therefore written about Argentine politicians in the past. User:Sherlock4000 has been very disruptive. I wouldnt normally be that concerned, but this user has made a very aggressive, concerted effort to remove any mention of corruption to Argentine pages. They have also been very accusatory towards me and even made some personal remarks I dont particularly care for. Nonetheless, I have tried to remain civil, but this user wont even compromise or meet me half way.

I know you have dealt with them in the past ([[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sherlock4000/Archive]]). I have noticed some potential socking on a few of the pages in question. Most recently is here [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jorge_Horacio_Brito&action=history]. I am suspicious this user is using multiple accounts to push their POV. (They will claim I have a POV (Again, I write about political corruption. I recognize this can sometimes be difficult but I still do my best to remain as objective as possible), but I believe this user removing any mention of political corruption specifically on Argentine politicians' pages is a POV. Their editing is also disruptive and never seeks a compromise, which I find particularly alarming. I'd love to hear your opinion or suggestions. Thanks for any help. If youre too busy I understand.

Hello Bob, the alphabet soup "(D-OH)" and "(R-IA)" you reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Too_big_to_fail&type=revision&diff=663720605&oldid=663311073 here] is a standard abbreviation for "Democrat of Ohio" and "Republican of Iowa", just like "R-TX" or "D-NY" (Texas and New York respectively). This shows the party affiliation of US Congresspersons and the states they represent. This adds to the article by showing that the letter was a bipartisan undertaking. I would be happy to linkify the letters to clarify things for non-US readers, but I still think the letters add to the article.-[[User:Ich|Ich]] <span style="font-size: 87%">([[User_talk:Ich|talk]])</span> 15:13, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
:OK. I can understand the appeal on articles about American politics, but the abbreviations don't make much sense to a global audience.

::I added the abbreviations back [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Too_big_to_fail&diff=prev&oldid=664419925 here] but linkified them to appropriate articles.

:No, the "Daily Mail edit" was the  by obvious trolling by the anonymous IP account (which I still have no way of attributing to you), which you then re-added without citing ANY sources until you were pressed to do so. Your reconstruction of reality is based on that even the most anti-government newspapers in the world (La Nacion and Clarin) would not take such an extreme stance as you have, and have in fact repeatedly condemned these Vulture Funds. Again, using opinion pieces from hostile publications as the sole source for an anonymous edit which stinks of xenophobia and a little islander view of the world and persistently repeating to yourself that doing this kind of sloppy and heavily tilted referencing to add snide little paragraphs to almost every article related to Argentina is somehow improving encyclopedic content benefits no one other than yourself through the ego boost gained from having your free market fundamentalist worldview reaffirmed by the columnists of a couple of publications. Ignoring every valid comment I have made against your editorial practices further demonstrates that you have no interest in reason and wish to stick your fingers in your ears when faced anything which might challenge your free market fundamentalism. Your role as an editor should not be self-serving, nor should it be to act as the agitprop arm of international finance. I request that you and your sockpuppets stop editing these articles since with every press of a key you are making the world a slightly stupider, more xenophobic and more hostile place.

==Board of Deputies of British Jews==

Afternoon there :)

Interested to ask you if we could think a little more about your decision to remove RT news sources from the article above last May 2015. It seems that RT news is indeed known for a non US/UK focus however does this make RT news an unreliable news source? I would posit that when used with other news sources, themselves guilty of overt or covert bias, it can add another perspective that can open up debate and get minds questioning what they perhaps don't even know are other widely held points of view. Do you think you could take another look at this? Am happy to work with you as I feel RT news offers valuable interpretations of events that many US networks do not.

:RT is not a reliable source. If RT said that 3 + 4 = 7, we'd have to check our abacus just to be sure. [[User:Bobrayner|bobrayner]] ([[User talk:Bobrayner|talk]]) 18:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

== Latin American protests article? ==
With the recent protests in [[2014 Venezuelan Protests| Venezuela]], [[2015 protests in Brazil|Brazil]], [[2015 Ecuadorian protests|Ecuador]], Guatamala and Honduras, [http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-09/protesters-are-now-everywhere-in-latin-america-as-the-boom-fades there has been a recognition of protests across Latin America]. Would this be worthy of an article?

I've read in a few places that called it the "Latin American Spring", but it isn't that popular or sourced. Also, placing it into a year timeframe (like 2015 Latin American protests) may be difficult since some protests and conflicts began last year and could possibly continue into next year (who knows?). Just wanted to note that so we don't have to go change titles and such in the future.

== Comments / feedback welcome ==


Hi there, 

You probably do not remember, but a while back you [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Pictet_Group&type=revision&diff=649012619&oldid=646925403 flagged] [[The Pictet Group]] with a <nowiki>{{COI}}</nowiki> tag. Since then the people behind [[user:Banquepictet]] have asked me to help them improve the page, which I did. The list of changes is on the [[Talk:The_Pictet_Group|talk page]], but in a nutshell besides beefing up the sections about the company history and activities, I've also created a new infobox including wikidata statements and uploaded images from the family archives. I'm pretty much done now.

This being said, it remains paid editing and I think an outside look is always good: I would very much appreciate your input before removing the tag.

Thanks a lot! [[User:Leo Fischer|Leo Fischer]] ([[User talk:Leo Fischer|talk]]) 07:10, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
:Hello!
:Personally, I don't object to paid editors ''sensu stricto''; I object to neutrality problems, and some (not all) editors with a conflict of interest create serious neutrality problems. Our content on the Pictet Group looked like an advert. Now it looks much better, thanks to your hard work. [[User:Bobrayner|bobrayner]] ([[User talk:Bobrayner|talk]]) 20:22, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
::Excellent, thank you very much! IMHO  paid editing is okay insofar as one just does the work of someone who is too lazy/unfamiliar with wikitext to do proper edits, but I'm a lot more worried about paid advocacy (or even unpaid one, come to think of it).

:hi,

:i noticed you were familiar with a user named History2007, or now [[user:VanishedUserABC]]. i was wondering if you could share a little about the individual so i can better understand his academic pedigree. is it possible you could share any of his work on mathematics, aside from his very controversial creation of page [[Probability measure]]? i would be very appreciative if you could share anything, as this individual miraculously vanished when math scholars with expertise in this area became aware of the success of a now-deceased colleague's (https://web.archive.org/web/20100324055343/http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/story.html?id=2439178&p=2) methodology. i found his insertion, which was a short time after the death of my colleague (who would have likely rejected this page), to be a bit interesting. especially since he later on fled wikipedia very suddenly (around the time the community learned of the success of his methodology, early-mid 2013), leaving people such as yourself asking questions (this is how i found you).

==Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content,  a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]]. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 00:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

== March Madness 2017 ==

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|March Madness drive]]. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas: 

* tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
* updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
* creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. 

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/March Madness 2017|here]] for those that are interested, and  members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now. 

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, [[User:AustralianRupert|AustralianRupert]] ([[User talk:AustralianRupert|talk]]) & [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Category:Train services in India]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#C1|section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a [[:Category:Disambiguation categories|disambiguation category]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia soft redirected categories|category redirect]], a [[:Category:Wikipedia featured topics categories|featured topics category]], under discussion at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|Categories for discussion]], or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Category:Train services in India|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:BrownHairedGirl|<span style="color:#663200;">Brown</span>HairedGirl]] <small>[[User talk:BrownHairedGirl|(talk)]] • ([[Special:Contributions/BrownHairedGirl|contribs]])</small> 11:51, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

== AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October! ==

{{Ivmbox|[[File:AfroCine - bare logo.png|211px|frameless|right]]

Greetings!

After a successful [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/2018|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! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine|The AfroCine Project]] welcomes you to October, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content]] that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema#Participants|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema|here]]. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--[[User:Jamie Tubers|Jamie Tubers]] ([[User talk:Jamie Tubers#top|talk]]) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)}}

== Please comment on the discussion regarding the term "right-libertarian". ==

Please comment on the discussion regarding the use of the term "right libertarian" to describe libertarians that do not oppose free markets, and that do not make a clear distinction between laissez-faire capitalism and advocacy of free markets. This discussion can be found on the talk page for the [[Libertarianism]] article. The term is primarily used in a derogatory way and by self-described "left-libertarians". The individuals described in that article, and in the poorly-titled [[right-libertarianism]] article do not typically identify with the political right - or the political for that matter.

== Classical Age of the Ottoman Empire Article ==

The “Classical Age of the Ottoman Empire” is really more of a “Military history of the Classical Age of the Ottoman Empire” article, content on culture, economy and politics lacking. On the ottoman wikiproject you stated you wanted to help with creating well made articles. I have been seeking someone qualified to improve this article and thought you might be just such a person. I currently can’t work on it myself as I lack money for books and time to read them but in ~3 weeks that should be over, what I’m trying to say is the helping will probably be doing it on your own instead of helping me if you take on this job somewhere in the next three weeks. Thought you might still be interested. [[User:Dorromikhal|Dorromikhal]] ([[User talk:Dorromikhal|talk]]) 15:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions|discretionary sanctions]] is in effect. Any administrator may impose [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions#Sanctions|sanctions]] on editors who do not strictly follow [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies]], or the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions#Page restrictions|page-specific restrictions]], when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{tlx|Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about.

:Thanks for automatically reverting yet another user and giving them a generic template! It almost looks like you want to work with rules and consensus rather than inserting your preferred words at any cost. The sources in the target article do ''not'' support your preferred wording (at least, not in wikipedia's voice).

== Correction to previous election announcement ==

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election!  I ({{noping|Hog Farm}}) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message.  The voting will occur '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2022|here]]'''; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one.
