Zaquezipe edits

Hello. I'm following up on some feud that took place in February and that led to edit warring. It was agreed upon that any further changes should be discussed in the country's talk page (Colombia). However, it looks like Zaquezipe just kept on adding information in Colombia's wiki page, without reaching any consensus. I'm referring to the genetic study he posted. He also edited the country's page in Spanish. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this. Thanks. Dougwash (talk) 21:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dougwash, if there's a controversial change you'd like to make, please pre-announce the edit on the article's talk page, invite Zaquezipe to the discussion using a short, neutral notification on their user talk page, and perform the edit if noone has replied to your announcement. In your edit summary, point to the talk page section you have created. More detailed advice can be found in the great essay WP:DISCFAIL. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

It is accurate and reliable information, I do not know why you would prefer to use an outdated and unreliable study from 1993 to assess the genetic ancestry of Colombians other than trying to make the country seem more european than it is. I have tried to contact you but you were offline for a while so I just implemented the change, no one else seems to object to the change and its one of the more recent genetic ancestry studies done on Colombia. Not only that, this study is conducted on many departments and is much more specific about the genetic ancestry of those departments than the Emilio Yunis study which uses regions instead. Remember, the emilio yunis study states that the amazonian region is only 30% Native ancestry (Being the most in the study but being much less than the average genetic study conducted on colombians) and its from 1993 as well it isnt published anywhere except for an archived version of a site, thats how you know its outdated, unreliable and should not be used.

Your edits also seem to be heavily biased, trying to undercount the ethnic minorities of colombia as I have seen on the Colombia and Afro-Colombian pages and overestimate the european contribution to Colombia despite colombia being a genetically diverse nation. This is further clarified by the fact you want to use an outdated and unreliable study from 1993 (Conducted on more european colombians) over any other for the sole reason that it has a larger sample pool (Which doesnt always justify its inclusion over another).

Zaquezipe, please click "Talk" above the article you're discussing and create a section for the discussion, so that there is a central place where a consensus can be found. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

• Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
• Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
• Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
• Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
• Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
• Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
• Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
• Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
