Speedy deletion nomination of Craftsmen's Houses - Nuremberg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Craftsmen's Houses - Nuremberg, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Machine translations

I'm sorry to have had to decline several of your drafts, and I appreciate that the formatting probably took quite a bit of work. I'm hoping that you can speak/read both English and German and can clean up the translations. Are the other articles you contributed also machine translations? If so, they should probably be moved back to draftspace until the translations can be cleaned up. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience... (wish I could help, but I don't speak German!!) Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:39, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

By the way, apart from this machine translation issue, you seem to have a hang of it around here. You don't need to use the articles for creation process -- feel free to create directly in the encyclopedia, or move your own drafts into the encyclopedia without waiting for to others to approve them. Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:49, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

I can speak english and German, I have been just directly copying it in so that I can then format it. Thanks for your feedback, I will make sure it is formatted and readable before submitting it. I will look into how to create articles outside of the articles for creation process, I dont fully understand how to do it without that yet!

By the way, the example you gave of "nonesense" like "the cookie on the rose neck" made me laugh because it does sound like nonesense! But a cookie in this sense is german for a small place or platz and the rose neck was the name of a series of houses in the frankfurt altstadt. It does sound absurd when put like that. I will work on rephrasing it. Best wishes. Gd123lbp (talk) 00:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

@Gd1231lpb: Thanks for the quick reply! Pasting machine translation as a starting point is completely fine. I do that sometimes when I translate from Spanish. Yeah, for the "cookie" one I actually checked the word in the German article and went to Google Translate, and saw that something like "spot" would be a better translation. Anyways, good luck going forward! In terms of creating articles outside AFC, you can work in the "Draft" space then just move them out. Instructions for moving are at Help:How to move a page.

You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}.

Request reason:

The edits I have tried to make are a subject of debate. They are not very contentious though because many people before me have tried repeatly to make them. My edits and comments have not been "in general discord with the majority" as can be seen in the 16 talk pages of archived discussion in which the subjects "far right" and "political extremist" have been debated with many people at great length. I tried to talk through my edits with people to try to reach an understanding. It was however, when I tried to do this that I got blocked from editing the page. So it was not the edits themselves, which I stopped making once I realised the would be immediately undone.

The fact that I have been blocked following a discussion in the talk page is seriously problematic. The claim is that I "cast aspersions against people" which I did not do. But more importantly, talk pages involves discussion, nothing more. Shutting them down runs against the principles of Wikipedia as an open platform for discussion. Open dialogue and debate is at its most crucial for discussing contentious things. This is because if something is not contentious in any sense and everyone agrees, then nothing needs to be said. The admins on this page keep on shutting down the conversation by archiving it, meaning that no one can add to it and it is made harder to see the discussions. The topics about "far-right" and "political extremist" keep being brought up again and again by people who query their accuracy and objectivity, but are immediately archived because the topics are deemed "settled". This is clearly not the case if they are repeatedly brought back up and certainly does not help with bringing about an understanding in the discussion because the debate is stifled.

Secondly, I have also not cast any aspersions against anyone. This may have been when an admin on the page said I was disagreeing with "'our' coverage of Alex Jones". I wondered what they meant by "our", because this implied a group of people to which I was an outsider. This was a very exclusionary comment to make and I asked "who is 'our'? Are you in a group of people with an agenda?" This was taken as a personal attack. I have respect for people who want to improve Wikipedia and add to it and have no desire to undermine it in any way or attack anyone personally on it. I believe this is a great platform and that is why I am upset and disturbed by things that go against its core principles of tolerance, openness to discussion and most importantly; objectivity, rather than political bias.

Just to show that I am not "against the majority consensus" Here is a list of archive pages in which times people have called into question whether Alex Jones should be labelled "far right/ political extremist" in the first sentence of his page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_11#We_should_NOT_include_%22far-right%22_in_the_lead_because_it_sounds_too_opinionated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_11#Jones_is_NOT_far-right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_15#Alt-right_/_far-right_in_the_lead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_15#Alt_Right?_Far_right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_16#Alex_Jones_is_not_far_right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_16#Far_right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alex_Jones/Archive_16#Biased

My view on Alex Jones' article is expressed very well by the following users comment: "...defending and upholding Wikipedia's core values by removing subjective information in favor for the objective. If Wikipedia was just 100% paraphrasing news articles, it would be a mess, and frankly it is especially on Alex Jones' page. This article is chock full of negative portrayals, but if the public should entertain them, which is fair, then they should also be given a neutral unbiased introduction..."

Your many edits to Peter Hitchens (and Christopher)

Hi, fantastic work. You are very focussed on these guys, I assume you are friend or family. Made a small reversion, I don't think we can conceal Richard Evans's criticism of Peter's history book. Actually it plays to Peter's base, we Hitch fans love the way he stands up to experts. Thanks! Anti-Anti-Vaxxer2 (talk) 07:37, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

I am not a friend or relation. I just want to improve Wikipedia and there is so much needing done on Peters page because it is so appallingly bad. It has been written by people who hate him. I am not trying to conceal criticism, my point was it was in the wrong place. It shouldn't be in the list of books, it should be in a separate section about the book. Please remove it from the section again. Gd123lbp (talk) 10:29, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Peter is certainly lucky to have somebody who is neither friend nor relation devoting a good chunk of all their edits (outside art/architecture, at least) to him - and not only that, but imagining emotional/personal motivations behind unfavourable content and removing criticisms of him. If youre suggesting the criticism should be moved, rather than removed, please go ahead. But the criticisms are there, properly cited and made by a world famous academic, you cant simply suppress them. Ive found him on Twitter and see he is actively attacking experts in a number of fields, the most recent being an OXford meteorologist. This behaviour is likely to drive criticism of quality of work, nothing personal at all. Anti-Anti-Vaxxer2 (talk) 13:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sucharit Bhakdi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Sucharit Bhakdi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

October 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on David Starkey; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Newslinger talk 00:33, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Lockdown skeptics moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lockdown skeptics, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Praxidicae (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2020 (UTC) There are now 27 references on the page please allow this page to be created so that I and others can work on it. Thanks.

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gd123lbp, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

— Newslinger talk 00:53, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

This seems to be a bad faith case by an editor making a fake case for an "attack" or to prevent their own editing being examined. Furthermore, I have looked at the edits Special:Diff/986960661 by Anomalous25; the supposed sockpuppet account and found they were 1st party sources so I deleted them from the page. So, I do not even agree with their edits! This is a bad faith argument. Gd123lbp (talk) 01:29, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gd123lbp, I apologize for starting the sockpuppet investigation. In light of the result, this was a bad call on my part. Thank you for reversing the edit in question, and for removing excessive primary sourcing from other articles. — Newslinger talk 20:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Alex Jones. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. — Newslinger talk 13:33, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

I haven't attacked any other editors. You need to provide evidence of it, else you are making a NPA on me. You have made attacks on me most recently in a sock puppet investigation - this needs to stop. Gd123lbp (talk) 13:54, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

My last edit on Alex Jones wiki talk page was many months ago. I was going to respond a few days ago but I deleted it (you can't attack something that I deleted immediately, that's very unfair and involves quite a lot of searching through my wiki history, which appears to be doxing) Gd123lbp (talk) 13:58, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Your comment in Special:Diff/987922159/987997941, which you had posted less than a week ago (10 November 2020), is a personal attack against other editors and is not allowed on Wikipedia. The comment was something you had submitted on-wiki, and comments on on-wiki actions are not considered doxing. Talk:Alex Jones is on my watchlist. — Newslinger talk 14:10, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

But to find that comment you had to pick it out from the history, because I had deleted it almost immediately. Also, I edited the comment numerous times and you have picked out a particular one which I toned down. In the comment I did not name anyone in particular, so it is not a personal attack. In sending me guidance on NPA, you are advising me on how to write better on wikipedia, yet in this instance I had already deleted and edited the comment many days before you sent me this guidance...? That is why I am objecting to what you have said. The fact that I had already edited and deleted this comment many days previously is surely enough? (also, the fact I had done this is surely evidence of my self awareness of the need to tone it down without administrator comments) Gd123lbp (talk) 14:53, 16 November 2020 (UTC) Since you are an administrator, I do take your comments seriously, but since I had already edited and deleted this post, I am not sure what you are expecting me to do? The comment I made had been deleted days before you sent me this, so if you are wanting me to improve my actions, what are you expecting from me in this instance? This really does seem unfair, especially when I make numerous edits to many other pages that are perfectly reasonable and I have written about vastly different subjects on wikipedia all without problems. If you want me to do something about the comment, I have already done so...? Gd123lbp (talk) 15:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC) As a resolution to this, I really think you should retract your claim that I have made personal attacks on people, when it was in a comment that I edited and then deleted. If editing or deleting are not considered good enough actions to improve wikipedia then I have no course of action to improve wikipedia. Gd123lbp (talk) 15:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

This warning message was posted in my capacity as an editor, not as an administrator. It is not an administrative action, and your account is unchanged. As long as you avoid posting personal attacks like Special:Diff/987922159/987997941 again, you'll be fine. — Newslinger talk 15:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Please address the points I have made about editing and deletion so that we can resolve this. Gd123lbp (talk) 16:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

A personal attack that you made and then deleted is still a personal attack. In Special:Diff/987922159/987997941, you made disparaging comments regarding the presumed "political affiliations" of other editors who were participating on the Alex Jones and Talk:Alex Jones pages, which constitutes "a group of editors" as described in WP:PA. Editors are regularly warned for making edits that they subsequently take back: see {{Uw-selfrevert}} for a generic example. As I mentioned, if you avoid posting personal attacks like the one in Special:Diff/987922159/987997941 again, you'll be fine. Otherwise, it is a policy violation regardless of whether you subsequently delete it. — Newslinger talk 17:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

General sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules. Any administrator may impose sanctions – such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks – on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Edits by User:Alexbrn @ ANI

Hello Gd123lbp, can you, on WP:ANI#Edits by User:Alexbrn, please provide diffs to back up your accusation of “ensuing edit warring by the user” so that we can move forward? Thanks! ◅ Sebastian 10:04, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I closed this case, as the accusations have not been proven, but to the contrary been aggravated by further unproven accusations. You are herewith admonished to not accuse other users without proving it using diffs. Note to other admins: If Gd123lbp continues to do so, I would recommend a topic ban. I think a topic ban is more appropriate than a block, as written in the text of the user warning template used by Newslinger (at 00:53, 4 November), because a block would seem rather punitive and short lived to me, while a topic ban would serve to counter the tendency of WP:OWN exhibited in this case. ◅ Sebastian 18:59, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Harold Shipman

Hi. It has been unequivocally proven that there are fake names which signed the declaration. This therefore proves that literally anybody could sign it, and if anybody could sign it, it has no scientific relevance and no legitimacy. Seven different Harold Shipmans, Professor Ita Role, Mr Banana Rama, Dr Brian Blessed. How on earth can you possibly think this has any merit. ItsKesha (talk) 12:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi! The declaration was authored by top scientists. The content was by them, not the signatories. If anyone could sign it, then that explains why it became open to trolling and abuse. I am not disputing that this happened, I am saying that it has no relevance on the content of the declaration. I believe one of the authors said they regretted opening it to public signing because of this, but I think it was opened to the public so they could show support for it. Clearly Harold Shipman didn't sign it, since he's been dead for 14 years so associating him with it is false. It is quite reasonable if you read it, especially sunepta gupta's take on it, she emphasises that it is about reducing collateral damage on those who are least affected by the virus (the young) while showing compassion and care to those who need it most. I have re-added the fake names part, I simply wanted to reduce the length of the article by just stating the facts, rather than the discussion surrounding them, but I added it back in to stop this dispute. I think as far as criticism goes for the declaration, there are much better ones than this (which is more of a smear tactic.) For instance, there is difficulty in socially distancing the old and ill while the rest of society carries on. That is a very valid criticism. There is also a lot of scientific dispute about the authors claims about how the virus spreads and how far it has spread, the time frame etc. We can add better content than evidence of name calling. Gd123lbp (talk) 13:33, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Btw I asked Dr Johnny Tightlips why he signed it, but he wouldn't say haha Best wishes. Gd123lbp (talk) 13:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Jay Bhattacharya - Bon courage reverting your edits.

Hello. I see you've edited the Jay Bhattacharya page. What's been the behavior of editors such as Bon courage? I've noticed that the Bhattacharya page kinda sucks (clunky and repetitious language, brazen viewpoint advocacy, et cetera), but Bon courage seems to overreact by reverting anything that tends to lend credibility to the subject, preferring poor copy in order to retain the denigrating tone in the page.

Rule of thumb with Wikipedia - the more controversial a topic, the worse the Wikipedia page...

Its always true, especially on politicised topics. The reason is simply due to human nature - people find it harder to be objective and encyclopaedic on topics they have an emotional or ideological investment in.

I hadn't realised this when I began the Jay Bhattacharya page or others on covid, but since realising it, I no longer see any utility in continuing to write Wikipedia pages on it or other potentially controversial topics. Wikipedia is unfortunately lost to gatekeeping hot heads who cant keep Wikipedia's founding principles in mind... so to answer you question, I have no doubt that he and others are doing that, I would predict them to.
