It's on the main page! Nice work! — Newslinger talk 00:26, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Newslinger, Thanks for all your help too! The charts are interesting; looking forward to see how it goes. -- Yae4 (talk) 02:05, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Newslinger, Yesterday the chart looked like no change; today it looks like a big spike - 3,800 isn't 5k, but it's not bad. -- Yae4 (talk) 13:14, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

You have shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions 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 discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. 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.

Warning

I am very close to filing a complaint against you at WP:AE to ask for a topic ban for your tendentious editing on climate change articles. I think you need to take a step back.

Climate change AE

Graham's Hierarchy of Disagreement

So, about the AE... there's a consensus there for a full topic ban, and even though I'm not 100% on board with it, I'm closing it anyway because it needs to be closed. It's not the end of the world. It is what you make of it. I've seen people come back as better editors after appealing indef topic bans. I do hope to see you appeal it as it's clear you have some knowledge about the subject. Anyway, I have a couple pieces of unsolicited advice for you in navigating the topic ban and bouncing back after:

• First, remove everything related to climate change from your watchlist. You don't want to get tripped up by accidentally reverting something you saw on your watchlist, and continuing to follow the discussions from a distance will make you more likely to mess up and get blocked. And don't continue any conflicts with users you clashed with in the topic area.
• Find something less controversial to edit about for a while. You shouldn't jump sideways into some pseudoscience, alt-med, or politics battleground. Maybe make a goal, getting some obscure article up to WP:GA or something. This will help in your appeal.
• Spend some time reading up on Wikipedia's core policies and mission, and try to make that your primary motivation for editing. It's easy to get caught up in righting great wrongs but the editors who have the biggest impact are the ones who have writing a quality encyclopedia as their primary goal. It's a mindset of "I'm making Wikipedia better by making sure it reflects my (correct) POV" vs. "I'm making Wikipedia better by making sure it reflects the highest quality reliable sources, and maybe sometimes my personal POV may come in handy helping me see in other editors' blind spots and helping me craft phrases in a neutral way."
• Oh, and like I suggested to Hob Galding, remember Graham's Hierarchy and keep all your interactions in the top 2-3 tiers.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk. ~Awilley (talk) 22:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

And here comes the generic template with instructions for appealing:

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you: You are topic banned from climate change, broadly construed. You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request. This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions. You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. ~Awilley (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

CopperheadOS

Hi Yae4. I noticed you've made three reverts in the last 24 hours at CopperheadOS. I'm sure you're already aware of it, but please take a look at the three-revert rule. In particular, even if you don't break the three-revert rule, administrators may still block you for edit warring. I won't be doing any blocking myself, as I am pretty much involved with this particular issue now, but I can't speak for other administrators, so it would pay to take extra care here I think. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 13:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Stradivarius, Thanks for the reminder. I was just about to go to Dispute Resolution Noticeboard to ask for more opinions on the 2v3-p name thing. I was a little too careless about the 3 changes because Anupraitsno1 is, to me, clearly closely connected with GrapheneOS and its developer, Micay/Strcat, and has not participated in the Talk about the name. Should I provide links showing the connections, and if so, where/how? -- Yae4 (talk) 14:01, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

You shouldn't post links showing the connections in public, as that would probably violate the policy on posting personal information. There is a tension between that policy and the conflict-of-interest policy, and the personal information policy takes precedence. You can see the options available to you at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to handle conflicts of interest. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 14:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

@Mr. Stradivarius: I've looked at the list of personal information, and I don't think any of the following would be forbidden. Am I wrong? Let's say hypothetically...A person using an alias is developer of X-ROM, which is a derivative of GrapheneOS. A person using that alias has advocated X-ROM in at least one forum. A person using that alias gives advice on GrapheneOS in communications channels. A person works on development of applications jointly or as forks/spinoffs of the applications in or from GrapheneOS. Therefore, the person is closely connected with GrapheneOS, and its developer, and has COI, which should prevent them from editing the articles on Graphene or Copperhead. Do you agree it would be OK to ask the editor to confirm or deny these connections? And to give them links showing the basis for these statements, if they deny these connections? -- Yae4 (talk) 03:40, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

CryptoHarlem moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, CryptoHarlem, is not suitable 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). In addition the company is not meeting Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. 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.
