Czarking0

Thank you with all my heart

Applause for you!

I am sending you a round of applause which you so richly deserve for all your efforts on Christianization of the Roman Empire as diffusion of innovation. I will never forget your great kindness and your tremendous skill. Thank you. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Dearheart, if you feel it is time, would you do the honors and close out the review? Jenhawk777 (talk) 03:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Than you for the high commendation! This is actually my first article review, and I really enjoyed it. I'd be happy to review more of your work in the feature as you were awesome to work with. I have a couple other things on my docket that are perhaps less in your wheelhouse. Do you by chance know any dutch speakers who would want to review Hugo Krabbe?

VanossGaming GA

Hi @Czarking0, thank you so much for your GA review on the VanossGaming biography, I agreed with all your comments. I've made a load of changes and I've done my best to address your comments, I've made notes as to how I addressed each one on the talk page. I was wondering if I should renominate the article for GA status, that way we could have another go together at perfecting the biography? Also I was reading your talk page about your degree, I'm currently doing a BSc in math and physics, it is certainly loads of fun ahah. Thanks again for the article review, looking forward to your next suggestion :) Idiosincrático (talk) 08:23, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

I've nominated the article for GA again, would appreciate your review. :) Idiosincrático (talk) 02:53, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Yay! Congratulations! You did a great job. I liked the discussion about confidence intervals and accuracy. Y'all made a good compromise about how to convey that. Also, I missed the part about NIST (or maybe I glossed over it, I don't recall since it was back in September 2023). I made some edits tonight, nothing major. They were mostly things that Mike had mentioned. I did leave a comment in a transcluded place that I want to bring to your attention. Please see here. My comments are at the very end of that section.

		The Original Barnstar
		For all of your hard work on Fukushima nuclear accident. I gave you A LOT of feedback and I worried it might have been too much but you handled it fantastically. Great work on that article, I couldn't imagine working on such an important and lengthy topic. I hope you consider nominating it for DYK. Keep up the great work!

DYK for Fukushima nuclear accident

On 16 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fukushima nuclear accident, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an official investigation found the Fukushima nuclear accident was foreseeable and preventable? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fukushima nuclear accident. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Fukushima nuclear accident), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

An apology

This haunts me at night and so I would like to apologize. For your nomination of Fukushima nuclear accident I made you change the citations to have a consistent format. I misinterpreted the GA criteria and have now learnt that this is not a part of the criteria. I'm sorry I made you do all of that as I would assume it was not very fun. This randomly pops in my mind every once and awhile and I hope it did not cause too much of a hassle for you at the time. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 04:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Oh no worries! It was definitely not fun, but it made the article better regardless of the GAC. Plus that is my favorite article I have worked on. Also, I see your edits around WP and think highly of you! Czarking0 (talk) 04:50, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Glad I can finally sleep at night knowing I didn't completely ruin your experience with that article. That also happens to be my favourite review I've ever done. Thank you for your kind words. I often see your username pop up and think of all the hardwork you put into that article as it was amazing. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 04:52, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Your review of Draft:Gary L. Comstock

Hi Czarking0 - thanks for reviewing Draft:Gary L. Comstock. You wrote that the draft doesn’t meet any of the eight academic-specific criteria to qualify for a Wikipedia article. I’m hoping you’ll take another look because according to Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Specific criteria notes, he meets two of the criteria.

1. Comstock holds a distinguished professor appointment from North Carolina State University, the largest educational institution in the Carolinas with the highest possible Carnegie Classification (R1) for a research institution.

According to WP:NACADEMIC an academic is notable if The person has held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, a named chair appointment that indicates a comparable level of achievement, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

From the draft: Gary Comstock is Alumni Association Distinguished Undergraduate Professor of Philosophy at North Carolina State University.

This fact is supported by Comstock's official bio published by North Carolina State University. Per WP:NACADEMIC For documenting that a person has held such an appointment (but not for a judgement of whether or not the institution is a major one), publications of the appointing institution are considered a reliable source.

Already, you can see that he qualifies under NACADEMIC. But he also satisfies a second criterion:

2. Comstock was a fellow at the National Humanities Center, a highly selective institute for advanced studies in the humanities founded by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

According to WP:NACADEMIC an academic is notable if The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics).

From the draft: From 2007-2009, Comstock was an ASC Fellow at the National Humanities Center, where he also served as Editor-in-Chief of the center’s On the Human project.

This fact is supported by a publication of the National Humanities Center. Per NACADEMIC: For documenting that a person has been elected member or fellow (but not for a judgement of whether or not that membership/fellowship is prestigious), publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source.

So you can see that Comstock qualifies as notable under two criteria which are properly supported by sources per the policy.

NACADEMIC makes allowances for primary sources because unlike people like CEOs or celebrities, academics are less likely to be covered in secondary media sources. I’m sure you’re familiar with Good Articles, which are Wikipedia articles that meet a core set of editorial standards. I would invite you to look at any GA’s about academics for an example of how primary sources are used in these circumstances. Here are two in Comstock’s field: Gary Varner and John Hadley (philosopher).

I’ve made a slight change to the draft, moving Comstock’s Fellowship appointment into the Lead. Now both of the criteria that qualify him as notable are prominently placed. Would you like to look it over?

Thanks Roy Louis (talk) 19:38, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Roy, I appreciate you coming to my talk page when you believe I have made a mistake. I take the matter seriously and I will review again Czarking0 (talk) 19:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

After reviewing I agree with your first point here. You said you made a change to the lead but the draft says it has not been edited since I edited it. Do you need to publish your edits still? Czarking0 (talk) 19:52, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks so much for agreeing to take a look! I've just published the update to the lead. Please review it and see what you think. Roy Louis (talk) 20:36, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Hey Roy I am still seeing that my edit is the most recent edit. This is where I am looking Czarking0 (talk) 20:38, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. You're quick on the draw! You must have checked it right before I published it. It should be updated now. Would you kindly check again? Thanks. Roy Louis (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Looks good, will you please click the Resubmit button at the bottom of the red block indicating my denial and fill out the form the same way you did last time you submitted it? Then I will approve Czarking0 (talk) 21:27, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Clearview AI edit

Hi, Czarking0! I was looking at your reversion of one of the edits I made to the page, which mentioned discussing it further - just wanted to come by and say thank you for explaining. The only reason I had removed that sentence and corresponding citation was because the valuation was speculative, and my initial assessment was it may not be relevant, as it could be a wildly inaccurate (or outdated) number, even if the POV was notable.

Not disagreeing with your reversion, just wanted to leave a note with my thoughts. Thank you again for explaining your reversion, so I can make sure I avoid the mistake in the future! Saintpats (talk) 01:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Your WikiCup submission: Talk:15.ai/GA2

Hi Czarking0, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Talk:15.ai/GA2 for GANR points in the WikiCup. Unfortunately, this review is too short to qualify for points under Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Good article nomination reviews. According to the rules, Only reviews of a sufficient length will be counted; quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded round points. As a rough guide, no review shorter than 1000 bytes will be considered, though the judges reserve the right to decline other short reviews. Although quick fails of sufficient length may qualify for points, your review has only four short sentences, excluding the lengthy quote you pointed out. I will say, however, that the quick fail looks good; it just isn't long enough to receive points. – Epicgenius (talk) 02:01, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Quotation marks

As to this edit - the author is quoting a passage from Gardner in the title - it appears in the source as "Moulder[ing] into nothingness among the rocks": Sharpshooters in Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War - since it's a quote, I think Moulder[ing] into nothingness among the rocks should be in an inner set of quotation marks, like the "Make-Believe" in the Snyder source. Otherwise Dietzman's insertion of [ing] into the title doesn't make any sense. Hog Farm _talk 16:49, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

"So weird"

Perhaps the section is weird because the situation is weird:

1. USDS falls under the Executive Office. If DOGE is now the USDS, that could protect it from Freedom Of Information Access obligations. Determining that question is not up to us, Trump or Musk: that's ongoing litigation.

2. The Trump administration tries to argue that Musk or DOGE has no authority. It just "follows orders". This has been disputed in court, and some legal challenges already succeeded. (Tweeting orders wasn't a good idea; leaving a documented trace wasn't either.) Again, not a question we as editors can ignore, or even less settle.

3. DOGE is arguing that it has no responsibility over DOGE members who are now part of other agencies. This led Jacob Altik, a DOGE member, presenting himself as from outside DOGE, which was misleading at best.

We don't know DOGE's obligations, its authority, or even who is part of it. Other legal issues can be shoveled in the Lawsuits page. This is a page about DOGE, and these questions rest on deciding what *is* DOGE. We can't determine these questions. We can only present them.

Review

Hello,

I noticed that you reviewed my article on Hamid Bovard, and I will go over it to make improvements.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could also review the article on Majid Azami and Persian Gulf Star Oil Company (PGSOC) and provide feedback for further improvement.

Thank you in advance! Razgura (talk) 16:10, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Welcome and will do,

Can you please remove the acronym from the title of PGSOC? WP:Requested_moves. I believe this in in violation of WP:AT Czarking0 (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

@Razgura: Other than that PGSOC looks good but I did AfD for Azami as I do not think it establishes notability. Czarking0 (talk) 16:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

😅 Whoa, I’m sorry I even asked... haha.

But seriously, I’ll work on improving the Majid Azami article and adding more solid sources. There’s actually quite a lot of coverage about him in Persian-language media, and I believe that can help establish notability.

Thanks for your time and patience 🙏 Razgura (talk) 16:40, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Tagging

Hi, I noticed you added a {{More footnotes needed}} tag to Shelby (dog) here. In the version you checked, all of the references have a corresponding inline citation, so I am confused as to why you added this tag. The template is meant for articles with a list of references, but without any actual footnotes, which was not the case here. Wondering what was up with that? Sophisticatedevening🍷^(talk) 03:20, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

I see you have added the tag back with the reason: All refs in Life section are grouped. Beginning of In Media missing ref. Again, that is not what the tag is for. It is for having a source listed, but no corresponding inline citation. Just because the references in a section are not staggered is not a valid reason for adding that tag.

AFDs

Hello, Czarking0,

I saw your comment on Star Mississippi's user talk page and I wanted to say that I hope you don't stop participating in AFD deletion discussions. We desparately need editors with a variety of opinions and approaches to editing to review and assess articles and their sources. It can be more difficult if you tend towards the inclusionist side as it is far easier to argue a flat "Delete" than go into details of why an article should be Kept. But that's why editors who lean that way are incredibly valuable to the process. Maybe take the long view towards the AFD process and accept that in some arguments you will prevail and on others others with a differing perspective will be the influential voices. But your participation is appreciated, at least by me. Thank you for your contributions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:23, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate what you are trying to do here. I am conveying feelings in a manner that borders on criticism of the AfD but I don't understand the process enough to say it is really a criticism. I think it would be easier to take the long view towards the AFD process and accept that in some arguments you will prevail and on others others with a differing perspective will be the influential voices if I thought either the other voters or the closer read my arguments (including the sources I indicated). I think the closer should read each of the votes and if the deletes say there are no sources or the sources are not sig cov and then someone votes keep with additional sources they claim are sig cov then the delete votes should be disregarded unless they indicate they looked at those sources. If that is not the norm then I really don't see why anyone would spend time finding sources. I also think I am probably not the first one to think this. Czarking0 (talk) 02:13, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Voting on discussions

In another place, I wrote: Rightly or wrongly I perceive an RfC or AfD or ANI as more of a debate than a scramble to support or oppose a particular opinion or suggestion or as a straw poll. But a debate on an Internet forum is not like sitting in a real debating chamber or on the jury benches where the voters are obliged to sit through the whole process first. The new AELECT system is an excellent compromise but for technical reasons can't be implemented for everyday discussions. I have started many RfC and voted on 100s and 100s more AfD. The actual process has always had me thinking how it could be improved. Unfortunately, for want of better systems, many of these voting-type discussions have stood the test of time mainly because the closures are generally more or less right, and secondly because Wikipedia does not like change - for example it has taken 14 years of discussion to arrive at the WP:AELECT as an alternative to RfA, and it took 7 long years to get WP:ACPERM done. ANI, the most regular of all voting-type discussions has been the subject of independent research several times but nothing has been done to improve its chaotic nature. My preferred solution to all these processes would be to have a 7-day non-voting period for comments, followed by 7 days for a straight 'Support, Oppose, Neutral' voting period. This would encourage participants to read the comments and make an informed decision. The closer would still read the consensus rather than the numbers. It would work for some of the discussions, but not all. Ideas? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I certainly respect your idea and think it could work. However:

1. I think the glacial pace of change in WP indicates that individual ideas from either you or me are not likely to see wide adoption. More importantly than what you or I think are good ideas is how to generate any consensus around improving these processes. Maybe the way to do that would be to have the process that comes up with the idea for improvement be the same process that generates support for implementing it. I am not certain how to make that the case but I suspect it would start with some research into what potential changes have already been discussed, who supported and opposed them. Then, I think those wanting improvement should present their research findings in a platform which is likely to generate discussion like the village pump or something.
2. I am curious if the question of what it means to improve the process needs to be reflected on. I suspect that if point 1 is followed then there will be some reforms that are so broadly popular and obviously an improvement that this question will not need further reflection. On the other hand, some reforms which potentially could occur are likely to stoke reflection on the goal of reform itself. As a taste of what I mean consider two possible goals: have the people who vote be better informed of the different perspectives or have more people participate. I think some editors will support the first goal, some will support the second, some will support both, and I do not think any margin will oppose them entirely. The two goals are not mutual exclusive but they are in tension. I think your suggested reform does a decent job at working towards the first goal but it might actually detract from the second.
3. If you are more interested in what I think of your actual proposal, I will answer that here. I think at AfD there is no real time pressure (outside of some speedy votes which I think are outside the scope of this discussion) and the default consensus building process could very well be as you describe. Though actually building support for a fundamental change like that seems daunting and maybe unnecessary depending on one's views about how well the current AfD system works. Personally, I don't think it works that well and I think your proposal is better than the status quo but I suspect others might come up with an even better solution. However, where I think process reform is really needed is in the <1% of discussion like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caesar DePaço where the conversation is so long that reading it is something you need to make time for. However, it is not obvious apriori that a particular discussion will become like that. Implementing a process which changes based on how large it gets is inherently more complex. One way to do this would be to have size limits for discussions where the discussion in semi-automatically closed as no consensus when it gets too large and relisted under the new process. Back to your proposal, I think some RfC, for example, have more time pressure and your proposed reform is not conducive to quickly resolving debate. I am aware that there is some guideline about there not being a time crunch on wikipedia and of course one could implement your reform such that it is still subject to WP:SNOW but I foresee opposition to your proposal on similar grounds.
4. Lastly, I think as one works for a specific reform proposal they should reflect on what data should be collected to post-facto justify the reform and under what circumstances that data would show that the reform is not working. I think AELECT has done a decent job at that

Czarking0 (talk) 02:38, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

All valid points. glacial pace of change in WP is almost an understatement. It took 14 years to get a substantial change to the RfA process since I started the ball rolling with the WP:RFA2011 project after even the Wikipedia founder called it a 'Horrible and broken process'. After a couple of years and harassment of the task force by trolls who are now banned, we gave up, but you can see the huge amount of research and gathering of statistics we did. AELECT was only achieved recently because one user who was determined to box it through is a skilled Media Wiki developer and took on the task of getting the secure poll software rolled out for local use. It took a very long time and many failed RfC and sub-RfC to get it done, but the result is extremely positive.

Your ElonMusk example is a classic case where a relatively small case of content can get totally out of hand where serious policy and procedural issues are very slow to gain traction - that said, WP:ACTRIAL garnered what are still probably the highest turnouts and massive consensus in history, only to be denied by the WMF for another 7 years until there were some changes n personnel there. and we made threats t do it our way anyway.

It is indeed ironic that a discussion about changing the RfC system (and other voting discussion pages) has to be done through the current RfC process!

I don't really believe that motions for change would succeed any time soon. It's a question of priorities and the actual number of regular 'back office' workers is staggeringly small considering the impact some RfC can have that are sometimes quietly passed with the consensus of only a handful of participants. As I mentioned, AfD gets it right most of the time, and the 'peanut gallery' would resist by force any changes to their permanent soap opera.

I have no designs on drafting or launching any such proposals because my days of that kind of thing are over. It's time for newer generations of Wikipedians to take the relay but I'll happily dive in and help out if anyone does; there's often no substitute for institutional memory. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:51, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

I been letting these ideas stir for a bit. Is there a good write up somewhere of the AELECT movement from its beginnings who was involved how the movement evolved over time? Looking at the 2011 participant list, I wonder how many of those editors have the appetite to push for a new round of reforms? Czarking0 (talk) 01:00, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

The community is agreed that AELECT is a vast improvement on the traditional system - no candidate can be so impatient that they can't wait for the next one, and if they are, then probably they shouldn;t be admins anyway. I think it now needs time for a few more runs before any trends can be extrapolated (one common annoyance on Wikipedia is that people are often too quick to jump to conclusions). All the RfA reform discussions are listed at RFA reform including the trilogy of articles in The Signpost in 2018 which were the result of significant research. The massive 2011 research which I led accumulated a lot of data which is still basically relevant (in principle) today, but no one used it on later attempts for reform. It's debatable if either using readily available research or completely starting over is the best approach. 2011 is a long time ago. Many have retired, or some are sadly no longer with us. If you drag your mouse over the user names you'll see who is still active, and if you're using the user group highlighter script you'll see what advanced rights they have. Yellow is for admins.

One place that is rife for reform is ANI. It could start by proposing that each case be started on its own sub page like AfD. That would vastly improve navigation and avoid most of the infuriating edit conflicts. The architecture is straightforward and requires no programming. Then one could consider cleaning up the participation. It really is a medieval village square replete with pillory and ducking stool where anyone can throw their rotten tomatoes whether qualified to join the discussion or not. For want of an analogy, it's a bit like if the pupils in a primary school were allowed to decide what to do with naughty children, from arbitrary after-school detentions or physical punishment, or to being permanently expelled. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:32, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

I'll think about this in some more depth but the last part makes me wonder if know about Sudbury school Czarking0 (talk) 06:00, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

I don't know about Sudbury but for my postgrad teaching diploma I had to know about Waldorf and Montessori systems. My own education was ruled by prefects in an environment that was almost identical - right down to the school buildings - to that depicted a couple of years later in the 1968 cult movie If.... (except for the last scene!), yes, schools like that in England still existed well into the 80s, 'nuf said. Ideally IMO there should be a minimum requirement for the participation of non-involved users at ANI, but many of them are entrenched wannabe admins who never will be. ANI is the last bastion of administration accompanied by a form of inquisitorial justice for people and content, but don't get me started on Arbcom. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:24, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Ok I think last question. I see that the 2024 RfA reform yielded the recall process. I do not see a 2025 page. This makes me think there is not a huge appetite for more RfA reform right now but there may well be in the somewhat near future (like 2026). On the other hand, I looked for Afd reform. I see this essay WP:IAFD, this very old and defunct page WP:ElC. This one I think is barely worth mentioning WP:AFDMERGE. I am sure a search of village pump archives would yield more discussions.

To me this seems like AfD has not had the level of effort put into its reform that RfA has had. This is almost certainly because it is not warranted. On the other hand, this does not mean that no reform would be beneficial to the project. Based on our discussion and inspired by phase 1/phase 2 split on WP:RFA2015. I think I will use these long AfDs as talking points for building consensus on what should be improved. To me the number one problem is that they are hard to read and feel like you have a good understanding of the debate. Once the Network of DOGE ones closes I think I will write something at village pump Czarking0 (talk) 17:08, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

There is definitely no appetite for more more RfA reform right now. A huge effort was made to code and launch AELECT and the general consensus is that a very satisfactory new solution has been rolled out. This does not rule out any minor fine tuning. The future of RECALL is not so certain but there have to be more cases before any firm consesus for future tweaks emerges, but it is likely to stay. Some years ago I launched a communiy desysop project myself called WP:BARC. It gained consensus but not important enough to proceed to making it policy. Things like reform projects are, like my RFA2011, BARC, and WP:NPR generally launched by one individual who takes the initiative. They are mostly not backed by deep research but are more based on rumblings and grumblings. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:46, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

For that last part do you think that is survivorship bias or what? Like have researched backed proposals been shot down or like is it the research itself takes a lot of effort, and it is effort of a different nature than motivated individuals like yourself or push through reform? Czarking0 (talk) 19:49, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

Research backed proposals have a much better chance of succeeding, especially if the RfC statement is carefully worded and the terms of the RfC are cleary laid out in order to avoid the thing becoming a free-for-all of secondary suggestions and off topic comments. Research takes time, a lot of people are either to impatient to do it, just can't be bothered, or simply don't know how to obtain the data. In 2012 I even ran a full survey using Qualtrics of some 6,000 people who had been patrolling new pages before I finally decided, (due to further increases of abuse of patrolling from inexperienced users) to launch an RfC for creating an WP:NPR user group four years later. All RfC (for the principle and for the details) passed smoothly. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Also I don't know if you are already aware of this but here is another big ongoing AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Network of the Department of Government Efficiency Czarking0 (talk) 02:42, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

Ok now that the second one is closed here is my thoughts on a survey for the participants. If you are interested can you tell me your thoughts on the questions? What would you add/remove/modify?

I can also move the write up I was not sure where a good place is? Czarking0 (talk) 05:58, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

HI. I saw your draft. However, I don't think participants would be interested in such a survey. Surveys are very rare anyway on Wikipedia and don't go down too well with the editors. Once an AfD has been closed, that's the end of it. Your ideas are good, and over the years I've had many too but one has to take into account the time/benefit of launching such ideas. In hinsight, after nearly 20 years on Wikipedia, after an AfD I prefer to get back to writing new articles or getting articles to GA. I'll probably help out on the September NPP backlog drive. I have a solid plan that would keep the backlog really low and encourage new users to submit articles that stand a good chance of being accepted, but although it's done bar the paperwork, I don't have the time for the hassle of a drawn out RfC to get it approved.

EW Chatgpt

Your recent editing history at ChatGPT shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. An edit war occurs when two or more users begin repeatedly changing content—in a back-and-forth fashion—back to how they think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree with their changes. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. The best practice at this stage is to discuss the disagreements, issues, and concerns at-hand, not to engage in edit-warring. Wikipedia provides a page that details how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

ChatGPT - Law

Hi, I appreciate your expanding the paragraph on the ABA guide on using ChatGPT. I also noticed your made comments on news-related edits regarding a recent lawsuit, citing WP:NOTNEWS. You also mentioned other policies may apply. Can you share what these policies you had in mind? Thanks. Path2space (talk) 17:32, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes and thanks for the discussion. Though if this wades more into ChatGPT specifically I will move the discussion to the article talk page.

In no particular order,

1. Not actually a policy but relevant here WP:CRITS
2. ChatGPT has been subject to scrutiny regarding its potential impact on mental health and user safety a past tense was is often preferable to the passive has been.
3. There is a floating here. Maybe it is a notable opinion or even a fact? Either an actual opinion should be attributed or the fact should be stated. If the fact really is that it has been subject to scrutiny then I think that is undue weight there are many existing claims in the article showing downsides. If the claim is specific to scrutiny for the mental health impact then this is still undue weight. You can refer to the prior discussion on mental health coverage on the talk page for why.
4. AI chatbots reinforcing delusions the due weight of this was already rejected on talk page

Hi! I appreciate that you're standing up for using reliable sources on the Ammar page. Unfortunately the user Paul follows a similar pattern in other articles to. He uses low quaility referencs, often blog posts and then reverts useful edits. It's really frustrating. In my opinion, the use of bad referencs undermine the whole Wikipedia. Also sometimes he just planet misrepresents or misunderstands what the original reference says.

Talk:Maria Guyomar de Pinha

He's also actie here now and continue revert useful edits

I'm not sure why he's doing it or what kind of agenda he's pushing. I'm only interested in two things that is that proper references and sources are used and that they are used correcly and that the information on wiki can actually be found in the sources. I don't know if you could consider taking a look at what Paul is doing or continue being active in the ammar discussion for example because he doesn't even let me change a coconut reference about a complete different person and in anyways that coconut reference is just an online gossip blog and shouldn't even be used... nevermind that it's even about a completly different person haha 220.147.123.41 (talk) 18:13, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

GA Review?

I nominated Bridge for GA, are you interested in reviewing it? I've tried using GA review circles in the past, but the reviews can sometimes be shallow and cursory. I noticed Thomas Edison is also nominated ... I'd be happy to review that. If you don't like the idea reviewing each other's articles, that is fine ... I know some editors prefer not to do so. Regardless, Thomas Edison looks like a great article! Noleander (talk) 12:18, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Considering I asked you to restore sources before I reverted and your response was just to revert back to your preferred version it seems rather alarming you're citing the contentious nature of the topic in your edit summary. I actively tried to avoid back-and-forth editing while you're refusing to compromise. I would suggest you should be more collaborative. Simonm223 (talk) 18:48, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Survey (Sgv)

Answers for your survey, collapsed due to length. --Super Goku V (talk) 23:16, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

1) Super Goku V (talk)

2) I dislike the restriction. I will answer No, but I would have added some clarification here about what did and didn't go well.

3) Not sure how this is automatic, but I commented five times on the Network of the Department of Government Efficiency (NotDoGE) AfD. Zero for the Caesar DePaço (CD) AfD.

4) Special:Diff/1304959894 for the NotDoGE AfD. None for the CD AfD.

5) Did not vote. For the CD AfD, I never felt comfortable. For the NotDoGE AfD, I was mainly fixing the formatting and didn't have an opinion for or against. (If I had voted in the NotDoGE AfD, I would have looked for alternatives to deletion first.)

6) Does not apply. Too uncomfortable again.

7) I don't recall, but I did read quite a bit of the CD AfD.

8) No as I never voted.

9) No as I never voted, though I was reading the discussion for the CD AfD. It is unlikely that I read all of it though as it was large.

10) Does not apply?

11) Does not apply?

12) Yes in both cases.

13) I would say so in both cases. The CD AfD was helped by the relist, while the NotDoGE AfD mostly stalled out. I think both ending in a no consensus was fair to each discussion. The CD AfD was definitely the harder of the two to close and got additional rational.

14) Not sure given that I never was comfortable to vote in the CD AfD.

15) Same as 14, I am not sure.

16) Well, my username was specifically mentioned in the NotDoGE AfD closing, plus I had quite a few replies to my comments there, so yes in that sense. (However, this might be a default no as I never voted.)

17) There needs to be a stricter focus on formatting for sure. It wasn't fun trying to re-organize things and I have worried that I am gonna step on someone's foot (in a sense) and make them upset. It would be nice if there was only one acceptable format and a bot managed making sure comments are formatted properly. Also, the CD AfD was very long and uncomfortable, but I can't suggest much there.

18) BONUS: A question I wish I had been asked was if I felt comfortable or uncomfortable in participating in either or both discussions. I think my answer to this is clear for both. (Not interested enough to vote in NotDoGE AfD and interested, but discouraged and uncomfortable in the CD AfD.)

19) Why am I still numbering this? :P Goofiness aside, let me know if you want a follow-up on this. --Super Goku V (talk) 23:16, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

AfD survey?

Couple of questions for you about the AfD survey you're advertising. First off, what made you choose me as a participant? Second, what are you looking to achieve here? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:00, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

I choose you because XTools listed you as a participant on either of the two AfDs the survey is focused on. Since I am doing the legwork and survey design I am trying to make something broadly useful to present at village pump that other people can interpret. I do have some ideas about what would make AFD better. In particular I am interested in improving large AfDs like the two the survey presently focuses on. However, I want to keep specific ideas to myself and let others determine what if anything there is some level of consensus to address after reviewing this case study. I tried to keep the questions broad enough that this data could be useful for others. I think by saying my specific ideas I could bias the survey which is not my intention. If you think any of the questions are bad for whatever reason I would like to hear that as well. Czarking0 (talk) 02:05, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

I think you should make a separate subpage for your survey (similar to Wikipedia:Editor reflections, but in your userspace). Some1 (talk) 02:19, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

I see what you are saying but it is a little late for that I just manually sent out hundreds of these notices. Do you think there is a good way to do that mid process? If not I plan on organizing it better after I have the responses Czarking0 (talk) 02:21, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

An option could be to modify the User:Czarking0#Survey message on your userpage to include a link to the Survey subpage. Some1 (talk) 02:27, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

You should not have picked the DePaço AfD. That subject matter is sensitive. —Alalch E. 02:26, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

I happened to be the closer on DePaco, not a participant, which is why I found it a bit odd :) I respect the urge for reform, but I'll warn you that attempting to reform a process as a relative outsider/newcomer often draws resentment from those with significant experience in the process--I speak from experience. I also agree with Alalch that the DePaco AfD is not an example of a typical AfD; in fact it might be one of the least typical AfDs ever. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 02:29, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Unrelated but I think it is wild that after years of editing, multiple GA, and nearly 10,000 edits I still get called an outsider/newcomer. That is probably one of the issues with WP culture.

Regarding "That subject matter is sensitive" and "might be one of the least typical AfDs" I am surprised it is not obvious to you both that I already know that and specifically choose it for those reasons. Czarking0 (talk) 02:33, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Recall for those of us who haven't brought an article to GAR in the past two years

Sorry but I find this a bit insulting. Besides the fact that although Admins should also edit articles, I have spent a lot of my time simply working on poor articles on archaeological topics, mainly pseudoarchaeological ones. Improving many articles is just as important, if not more so, that bringing one \to GAR. Doug Weller talk 07:45, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

You don't have to revert every edit I make to Nick Fuentes. Reliability is always contextual so WP:GREL may not be sufficient to assert reliability in context. Please show a bit more nuance in the future. Simonm223 (talk) 16:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Hey sorry, I also opened a thread about this on your page. I agree with you in part here. Of course, you are right about reliability being in context. On the other hand I am sure you were not surprised to have your removal on the basis that a WP:GREL is not RS in your opinion reverted. Since I am not the person that added that content to the article I am clearly not the only person that thinks it is due for inclusion. Czarking0 (talk) 16:13, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

We should not be sourcing BLP details to singular tabloids. Even ones that were convenient enough for certain editors to allow them to survive an RfC at RS/N. If that is what the sourcing is like then WP:UNDUE likely applies. Simonm223 (talk) 16:19, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: José M. Salazar (December 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ChrysGalley was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Thank you for your effors so far. Actually with a small amount of work, this subject would be OK for notability and sourcing, but the key fact has not been mentioned in the draft but which is in the sole source. Namely that by accepting Salazar's credentials the USA implied recognition of Gran Colombia/Republic of Colombia (Spence Robertson page 191), which was a big deal for newly independent Colombia/GC. Thus WP:ANYBIO - criteria 2, historical record. But that's not in the draft, which in any case would benefit from more sources and context. I hope the submitting editor can continue their endeavours so that we can learn more.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:José M. Salazar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

ChrysGalley (talk) 14:08, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Hey Chrys, I think you are factually wrong in this comment. The US had already recognized Gran Colombia with the meeting between Torres and Monroe prior to Salazar's appointment. This is covered in the Torres page and to me your point is an odd one to make about the second ambassador. Czarking0 (talk) 15:20, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Czarking0 - the source and footnote 27 I think gives an account of Colombia's pleasure, with a quote to boot, which of course could be incorrect. Looking at the timing, the second ambassador was posted after inaugural events in GC/RoC so I can see how that fits in for this particular ambassador.

But in terms of AFC, I'm trying to move the article from WP:GNG, in which case multiple sources are needed, to WP:ANYBIO criteria 2, where notability is presumed so long as it is sourced. (To be less formal, I'm trying to make your life easier). But feel free to resubmit it, another AFC editor could take a different view. And many thanks for the work so far. ChrysGalley (talk) 16:28, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

You are right about the quote but that is a cordial letter. The official recognition occurred a few months prior. I was shooting for ANYBIO or NPOL on this one but after rereading NPOL I think this needs to hit anybio. This creation was just a quick hit as part of my larger recent effort on Venezuela. I think it currently is presumed notable though the sigcov issue is valid. Czarking0 (talk) 17:27, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Generally it's American ambassadors that get under NPOL due to the Senate process (which in turn generates sources anyway). Most other countries don't ratify ambassadors via that sort of process, so ANYBIO is indeed where you need to concentrate in my view. But yes, SIGCOV is another issue, but there's probably something else out there (somewhere.....). People don't just rise from nowhere to be ambassador. ChrysGalley (talk) 17:34, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

As a fun fact, a full 20% of Columbia's legislature was illiterate at that time. So there tends to be a lack of written accounts Czarking0 (talk) 23:49, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged Metaring for speedy deletion. I have removed the tag from the page because it does not meet the criterion or criteria specified. Please fully read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion before tagging pages for speedy deletion. Thank you. Also Embrace Dignity. For G5 has to be created by a sockpuppet after the master has been blocked. That applies to neither article here. Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:15, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Actually you are the one that should reread. G5 does not require the page to have been created by a sock. That is only one instance it which it can be used Czarking0 (talk) 02:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

G5 for blocked users:

To qualify for a ban- or block-based speedy deletion, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted or expired will not qualify under this criterion. (emphasis mine)

When a blocked or banned person uses an alternate account (sockpuppet) to avoid a restriction, any pages created via the sock account after the earliest block or ban of any of that person's accounts qualify for G5 (if not substantially edited by others); this is the most common case for applying G5.

Just because the user is now blocked doesn't qualify for G5. What provision under G5 are you using? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:23, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

The page was created while the user was blocked Czarking0 (talk) 02:24, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

No, those were created by the user before the user was blocked. Metaring, last edit by user Dec 8, blocked Dec 17. ...Dignity, last edit by user Dec 8, blocked Dec 9. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:28, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Ah you are right, how are you pulling that? I just checked all that manually. Czarking0 (talk) 02:29, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Go to Userpage, then select User->Block->Block log. That's the most reliable way to identify the date of the block. At least that's how I do it. I'm an admin, so you may not have the same view. In general, a completely blocked user cannot edit, so any edits by that user under that account occur before or after the block. That's why I referred to sockpuppets. Almost always, it's a sock that's making the edits in violation of a block of the user. That's the only way a user gets around a block. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:34, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Right, then how are you checking that they are a sock? Same page? I am thinking the NPP script could be modified to not offer g5 if the block is not a sock. That way myself and others using it do not need to check that. Czarking0 (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

If the block message states that they were a sockpuppet, I then check the sockmaster's block date to see if it were prior to the page creation date. I know of no automated way of checking for this.

Also, I haven't used the NPP script in years. Could you discuss this issue at the NPP talk page or script talk page and see if others are having this issue? — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:41, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

You're still making errors. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=AKLKPhilo&type=block . The user was unblocked Aug 19 then reblocked Dec 9. Garcia's Pizza In a Pan was edited Dec 1, so was not made while the user was blocked. Same issue with Sign of The Beefcarver. Please stop tagging for G5 until you are sure you are doing it correctly. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:04, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged Tanvi Patri for speedy deletion. I have removed the tag from the page because it does not meet the criterion or criteria specified. Please fully read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion before tagging pages for speedy deletion. Thank you. You're continuing to misapply G5. Stop now. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:58, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Author is a blocked sock. I am not misunderstanding the criteria. Stop telling me to reread it Czarking0 (talk) 03:28, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Right, but the master is not blocked. A blocked sock's contributions are only eligible for G5 if the contributions occur after the one of the accounts is blocked. These contributions were before the blocks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:41, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Admittedly, this is an odd circumstance, but you have to look at the timing of the blocks versus the timing of the edits. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:42, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Look I, a human, am not going to sign up to do a bot's work. Your since removed stop now comment was obviously a threat to admin action. I think it is ridiculous to threat an editor like myself to protect the obviously bad faith and bad quality work I have nominated G5 since technically (some BS that probably should not be the rule anyway).

I will boycott NPP until I can use the tools with a reasonable division of labor between bot and not.

If my G5 nominations are incorrect that should not be brought by you coming to my talk page and threatening me.

That should be resolved by a bot automatically reverting it.

This is no more worthy of admin action than deleting the definition of a named ref. It is an obvious mistake that should be fixed by bots rather than wasting the time of admins or myself. Czarking0 (talk) 03:54, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm sorry that the "stop now" came across as threatening. I had and have no intent to act against you for those mistaken tags.

I had asked you to stop tagging until you were sure you were doing it correctly, but you didn't stop. That's why I became exasperated. Remember, admins are volunteers too. When you ask for a G5, you need to know that you are making a valid request. There are no "bots" that can do the task for lots of reasons--in short, the wikipedia software does not support a reasonable workflow for this sort of task. And remember that when I respond to a G5 request, I have to do the research again, though it is quicker if the requester includes the name of the sockmaster in the request (Twinkle includes a field for that). The admin is ultimately responsible for the deletion and has to assure themself that the deletion request is valid.

You must not only identify that the article creator is blocked, but also that the sockmaster was blocked at the time of article creation for G5 to be valid. This means doing some research on each potential G5. If you don't want to do the research, that's fine, just skip those articles when patrolling and let someone else handle them.

I had to come and tell you about the issue. Ignoring this would let this problem fester and build into even more wasted time for others. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 20:02, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your volunteering as well. FYI there is now a Phabricator related to these proposed changes. In talking about this with another editor I know in person they suggested that when a SPI yields blocks that a script just runs to G5 all articles from that account with less than a threshold number of edits from other accounts created before some date which the blocker can input.

Hi Czarking0; You appear to be reverting multiple times for fully sourced material on the Project 2025 page. The use of tables and list of names and subjects is common to Wikipedia which is not limited to Prose expression alone. See the Kissinger article for his 'Awards and honors' section which presents a list of his accomplishments using a similar double column format. Your next revert will be three reverts which is against Wikipedia without your starting Talk on this issue. The list is fully cited. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:56, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

Start patrolling!

GA Backlog drive

Hey Czarkingo! I noticed that for your review of T. Elliot Gaiser, you didn't mark the word count on the drive page. Please mark this in the future to make it easier for coordinators to give you extra word count points! This is probably just a tiny thing you missed, but thought I might as well remind you! I'll look at the page history and estimate the word count best as I can so you still get your points! Crystalite13 (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello Crystalite, the idea of humans spending their time estimating how many words are on a page is borderline disgusting to me. However, I am not one to only complain. I have just updated this module to automatically count words on a page and updated my section on the drive to use it. I also updated the template at the top to use my module.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pikes Peak Outdoor Recreation Alliance (February 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mmemaigret was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
• reliable
• secondary
• strictly independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Suggest read WP:42 and WP:CORPTRIV.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit it after they have been resolved.

Bladerunner24 report

That is a sock of Shadowfax33. Note the timing of the ban and creation of the new account. Notice the fantasyname## format. Notice both accounts editing Christian Nationalism related pages mainly. Hope this help re-remove a banned white supremacist. ~2026-89842-7 (talk) 23:13, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Please open an investigation at WP:SPI under Shadowfax33 and tag me in it. Czarking0 (talk) 23:44, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

A brief look at the SPI tools shows no interactions between these accounts but I am no expert on SPI Czarking0 (talk) 23:47, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Can you please clarify how this account is associated with other accounts on wikipedia and/or signin to respond? Czarking0 (talk) 23:48, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Temporary accounts can not file SPI reports unfortunately.

Shadowfax33 edited about Nick Fuentez and Catholicism from a political perspective.

Hours after being banned, Bladerunner24 was created, with a focus on the intersection of American politics and Catholicism.

Both users are semi frequent page creators, which is especially interesting for the much "less experienced" Shadowfax33 sock.

And of course, Shadowfax is a fantasy horse from Lord of the Rings, where Bladerunner is a fantasy movie as well.

Look at this first edit - , seems like a standard new editor right?

Then right into lots of llm based editing, i.e. [] linking to other wikis as sources. Then, back to writing articles about how Catholics are oppressed - . They speak in a similar fashion, but seem to be using more LLM now.

~2026-90761-2 (talk) 03:30, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

"Temporary accounts can not file SPI reports" Where do you see this? I do not see this Czarking0 (talk) 04:41, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

To make a SPI report with a temp account "they have to make it in the wikipedia talk: space if it's a new page creation and ask autoconfirmed user to move it". I will move it if you make it Czarking0 (talk) 04:47, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

It was nice to see a voice of reason at the recent AN threat; the proposal there is quite weird. I think Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_209#h-Seeking_clarification_on_WP:NEWLLM_regarding_human-reviewed_translations-20260103140900 ended up with no closure? Is there some other place this is still being discussed? @User:7804j _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:22, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

I feel likewise even though I do not agree 100% with everything you said. One of my fears for these big WP threads is that they turn into nonsense echo chambers like a reddit thread. Disagreement is healthy. I am not sure where else is is being discussed, but I think more discussion on OKA would be good for the community. Czarking0 (talk) 15:26, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

There have been past RFCs, I think, or at least discussions here and there, although I don't recall all of them. OKA has been controversial, since it involves $$$, and now, AI. "We are paying AIs to write Wikipedia content" headline will always generate a lot of buzz :P

Might be good to have all discussion listed somewhere (OKA has its own project page - probably there...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:33, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

I'm sorry Czarking0, I didn't mean to offend you. I have no problem with you taking it to AfD. I probably won't even vote. I was just correcting the problem of the page being blanked...

I hope you understand. Thanks, MediaKyle (talk) 03:15, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pioneering AI in School Systems (March 30)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, WeirdNAnnoyed, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Sorry, but I don't see how a WP:ROTM school district project is encyclopedia-worthy. School districts announce initiatives like this all the time, they get some local media coverage, and that's it. Perhaps Ref. 5 is significant (though it reeks of churnalism to me), but I would like to see some WP:LASTING coverage before putting this in WP.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Pioneering AI in School Systems to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Recall support based on GAR

I was interested to see your statement on your user page that you expect admins to nominate articles for removal from GA. This was because I can't remember a similar standard around adminship or similar processes based on improving the project by potentially removing recognition from articles that no long meet the criteria; normally this kind of criteria is about promoting content. So I was wondering how many admins have nominated something for GAR in the last two years. If my quarry is right it's 16 admins who might not cause you to support their removal. If you expand that to FLR and GAR it's 27. Since I thought you might be interested in how many admins meet your criteria I thought I'd share this information with you. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:27, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Phd research invitation

Hi Czarking0,

I’ve seen some of your work on the "Open AI" article and really appreciate the care you put into it.

I’m currently doing a PhD research, and I’m inviting you to take part in a short online interview (about 45–70 minutes).

Hearing about your experience would genuinely be very valuable for my research.

If you might be open to it, feel free to contact me by my email.

I’d be happy to share more details. No pressure at all.

AI-generated tagging

(Starting off by saying that I appreciate, truly, your doing AI cleanup work.)

Just wanted to let you know that there are people who are warning that they will remove any AI-generated templates from articles if there are not also parallel discussions started on the talk page, so unfortunately, it looks like you have to tag articles in two places now. I know it's a waste of time, I'm just the messenger here. I'm currently going down the list of currently-tagged articles and doing this for past tags so they don't get drive-by deleted. Gnomingstuff (talk) 01:20, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Wow

I don't think that Wikipedia:Administrator elections/May 2026/Candidates/Taking Out The Trash#Optional questions from Czarking0 is appropriate. Do you think you could re-write that to be less stigmatizing against people with mental health problems, which includes a very large fraction of our community? For example, maybe you could focus the question more on what matters in practice (like sometimes being slow to respond) instead of repeating "poor mental health". WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:16, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

I've removed those questions a AELECT monitor action. Sohom (talk) 05:30, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Is there some policy against asking these questions? I think you need to WP:AGF. Czarking0 (talk) 06:23, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Would you prefer if I use the phrase "mental health issues" as the candidate has stated on their userpage? Czarking0 (talk) 06:24, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

No. I'd prefer that you talked about the effects rather than the cause. For example:

Why the editor (claims to) have limited capacity to respond in a timely fashion is unimportant. What matters is that the editor claims to have limited capacity to respond in a timely fashion. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:41, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Bridgewater Associates

Hey Czarking0, I see that you are a member of WP:Companies. I recently suggested a few updates to the Bridgewater Associates page and would appreciate it if you could take a look: Talk:Bridgewater Associates#Updates to "History" and "Products" sections. A neutral editor added a small portion of the request and I have updated the request to reflect that. If you agree with the additions please make the edits. Thanks! Jaren Laurel Strategies (talk) 18:13, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, Czarking0. I am taking care of the COI editor's request for updating Bridgewater hedge fund. She (he?) left a request on my talk page about a week ago. I am familiar with hedge funds from my past employment for Izzy at Millennium (long ago in the early mid-1990s) and about Ray Dalio, see here and especially here, all authored by me IRL... bwahaha.

Hope all is well with you. You seem to be doing a good job as an editor. I enjoyed working with you on the Clearview article aways back.--FeralOink (talk) 08:23, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey so nice to hear from you, I hope you are doing well as well! I am bit less active editing right now. I am figuring out how I feel about some topics. Particularly the WMF recent actions and the WWWU which I have not yet supported. I was editing Flock Safety recently which I thought has some nice similarities to the writing of Clearview.

I mostly agree with your Review of the Ray Dalio book and yet I somehow still enjoyed it. I'd be happy to add you on goodreads if you send an email. I have a strong interest in China and have been learning Chinese. User:The Account 2 does some amazing work. On their talk page archive there is a nice book discussion between us if you are interested in more China oriented books. I am still working on America Against America which I find to be a challenging read. Czarking0 (talk) 22:49, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Template:OpenAI series

There is no formal process for editing a NavBox. Any editor can edit a navbox, as I did. You can look at the criteria you linked me to yourself and if you think the criteria were applied incorrectly you can explain. Just reverting people is and claiming something is a rule when it isn't is a poor way to work in a collaborative project. Ike9898 (talk) 17:22, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

This is not how that works Czarking0 (talk) 01:52, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

"Not how that works"? I opened the review, it's my review, I already have it handled. I'm working methodically here to ensure that it's done properly. This is not going to work if there are two people on the same review. If that continues, then I'm going to have to seek alternative measures. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 03:04, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

FOIA

Love that you're doing a FOIA request. I've been steeped in this stuff lately, so it got my attention (steeped in the Martin, et al. Wiki stuff, not in FOIA requests, that is). A few things, which you are free to take with a grain of salt as coming from someone who's read some FOIAs and had plenty of conversations with people who file them but has never actually done it:

1. Why start in October? The letter was April, and he joined WWG in May. Was there some other request for earlier than that (in which case, I don't know the answer but it might make sense to mention that request)?
2. Martin's not the head of the WWG anymore, so there's some potential liability in the framing your request as seeking communication between Martin and WWG staff "to the present". In case that's news, this isn't the best source, but states it explicitly. May be worth acknowledging that he left.
3. Any problem with broadening the request? Cruz should definitely expand to his staff, and it should also include WWG staff amongst themselves. Maybe even Mace/'s staff, Comer/'s staff, Wasserman-Schultz/'s staff, and Bacon/'s staff? Perhaps that's a separate request.
4. Possible that "communications" should be specific, like "emails, text messages, messaging app records, memoranda, meeting agendas/minutes, calendar entries, reports, or other documents" (I imagine there's a boilerplate for something like this out there, though it's possible being specific doesn't matter, too).
5. May be worth replacing the long descriptions of what you're looking for with simple keywords: Wikipedia, Wikimedia, WMF, Iskander?

Looking forward to see how it goes. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 01:36, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You are right I should acknowledge that he is no longer the head, I still wanted to make a central person for the investigation and for now I think he is the best fit. The request goes back to October to limit the amount of documents due to the time and potentially funds it will take to process them. I have not had anyone give money to help fund the request and they may be charges associated. Similar logic as to why I am not widening it. Sure I am not a lawyer if someone who has done one of these before wants to tell me how to improve I am open to it Czarking0 (talk) 03:56, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm confident I can put you in touch with someone who knows what they're doing, if that's what you want. If so, let's rope in one of the Signpost editors on correspondence (my hunch is this would be up Smallbones' alley). On fees, I'd encourage you to just ask for what you want to ask for. MuckRock has a built-in crowdfunding tool, which seems like a pretty good fit for something in the Signpost. I imagine there are a lot of us who would be happy to chip in. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:18, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Fair enough, you can send me an email if you want to connect me with people that know how to do this better. I have no idea what the cost would be so I wouldn't know what to ask for, but I can look into the MuckRock version. Czarking0 (talk) 23:35, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

"MuckRock has a built-in crowdfunding tool" I am not seeing this Czarking0 (talk) 00:08, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

FAQ here. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:18, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Ah I see. I have not submitted the request so I think I will have to wait to start the crowdfund. I will say "There is a 15% fee added to crowdfunding campaigns that covers credit card and other processing costs" this seems to be quite a steep fee for what they are really providing. GoFundMe charges 2.9% + $0.3 which would probably be my preferred platform for fundraising. I am really not too impressed with MuckRock. Czarking0 (talk) 16:04, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Want help?

Hi I see that you're looking to bring the Thomas Edison article to featured article status (and I silently watched you bring it to good article status). Want me to help? I'm no Edison expert but I find him to be quite fascinating. Panamitsu (talk) 07:04, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Sure! The number one thing I think it needs to be FA is ensuring that all the best sources have been covered. I have read four biographies of Edison which I believe cover the best sources. However, additional research into other potential sources to include may be warranted. Other than that I am not sure what should be improved. Czarking0 (talk) 16:01, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

For me I have a few suggestions. I've brought one article to featured article status so far and I was surprised by how strict the reviewers are with how the articles should be worded, so I think we should spend a bit of time copyediting. Soon I'm going to expand the death section as the events following his death are quite interesting, such as people turning their lights off for a minute at the request of the president. But other than that I don't have any other ideas at the moment, you've worked very hard on this article! Panamitsu (talk) 00:57, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks I love the copy editing you have done thus far. Czarking0 (talk) 15:07, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Czarking0:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

You are an Example of a Constructive Editor

I observe how you try to save redeemable articles from outright deletion, making way for editors to clean them up to a respectable status. That is the hallmark of an intelligent editor. You are very valuable to this Wikipedia project of ours. I notice that BLPs are more susceptible to UPE and PROMO accusations than other articles. This is understandable. I am learning to mind my sentences in edits to avoid those tags that are thrown at some of my innocent efforts, as were brought to the Conflict of Interest Notice Board by Kqol. I also observe that several of my articles have remained unreviewed for many months. I do not know why. These include articles on the town Ogugu Ntu-egbenese; Olusegun Aderemi, and Lai Labode. At the moment, I am seriously reading this page to become a better editor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles. Thank you for reading.
