DS 2021 Review Update

edit

Dear GZWDer,

Thank you for participating in the recent discretionary sanctions community consultation. We are truly appreciative of the range of feedback we received and the high quality discussion which occurred during the process. We have now posted a summary of the feedback we've received and also a preview of some of what we expect to happen next. We hope that the second phase, a presentation of draft recommendations, will proceed on time in June or early July. You will be notified when this phase begins, unless you choose to to opt-out of future mailings by removing your name here.

Discretionary sanctions topic area changes

edit

In a process that began last year with WP:DS2021, the Arbitration Committee is evaluating Discretionary Sanctions (DS) in order to improve it. A larger package of reforms is slated for sometime this year. From the work done so far, it became clear a number of areas may no longer need DS or that some DS areas may be overly broad.

The topics proposed for revocation are:

  • Senkaku islands
  • Waldorf education
  • Ancient Egyptian race controversy
  • Scientology
  • Landmark worldwide

The topics proposed for a rewording of what is covered under DS are:

  • India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan
  • Armenia/Azerbaijan

Additionally any Article probation topics not already revoked are proposed for revocation.

Community feedback is invited and welcome at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Motions. --Barkeep49 (talk) 16:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

实无颜面对

虽然阁下再三邀请,但我实无颜面对,且经此一事,我的编辑恐已经没有其他维基人信任。维基能人异士众多,不一定要我本人来改善--折毛 (talk) 06:48, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

折毛您好,我是南方周末的文化记者,最近我们在操作一篇与这件事相关的稿件,通过各个渠道也了解到一些初步信息。在维基这里,通过您的道歉信及各种回复也了解到您是个有错就改并且对历史有一定研究和看法的人(而并非网上流传的那样),想问问您愿不愿意跟我们聊一聊相关的内容及看法呢?真的非常诚恳地希望能跟您有进一步的交流~(电话或其他您乐意的方式都可以~)方便的话请添加我的微信号SRONGRONGZ,谢谢您~期待您的回音~~ 112.120.41.214 (talk) 09:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am the translator of Deportation of Chinese in the Soviet Union, which is now under deletion review due to User:折毛's hoax. Although the English version differed from the Chinese version created by 折毛 from the very beginning, it contained English translation of the Chinese content created by 折毛. To eliminate the impact of her content, I have validated the sources and removed all sources if they are unverifiable. Also, I have added new content backed by new reliable sources. I am thankful for your participation in the previous discussion of the deletion review, but now that the deletion review is not being relisted, I am not sure whether you might want to take a look at the new, mostly re-written, and validated version of the article and express your opinion in the deletion review. I will be most grateful to your further comment regarding any potential improvement of the article and regarding your decision in the deletion review.

Contentious topics procedure adopted

edit

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.

The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:

The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.

The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.

This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Contentious topics procedure now in effect

edit

You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's contentious topics procedure revision process.

In December, the Arbitration Committee adopted the contentious topics procedure, which replaces the former discretionary sanctions system. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial implementation period.

The drafting arbitrators warmly thank all those who have worked to implement the new procedure during this implementation period and beyond. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 19:44, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Taizhou University

edit

Just letting you know that I moved Taizhou University (Zhejiang) back to Taizhou University and removed the disambiguation page. This is because there is currently only one existing article on an institution called Taizhou University, and as such a disambiguation page is not needed. If you create an article on Taizhou University (Jiangsu), then a disambiguation page would help and you can re-create it, and ask me or someone over at WP:RMTR to move Taizhou University back to Taizhou University (Zhejiang). If you have questions or concerns, please do ask me. The Night Watch (talk) 14:44, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

HızRay

Hello, what is your rationalization for changing Hızray (Istanbul Metro) to Hızray? It has the former name on the Turkish language wikipedia, and it only makes sense. Please start a discussion on the talk page before implementing such a change, thanks. ~eticangaaa (talk) 18:07, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
