Welcome to Wikipedia, Cleisthenes2! I am Erik the Red 2 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{ helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{ helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

I saw you went ahead with the edits to this article which you described and raised on the talk page first. Great stuff. Only one thing: could you add the sources you've mentioned on the talk page to the article itself as references using the <ref> tag? That way the edits are then verifiable. If you need any help with citing sources on Wikipedia then you might find WP:CITE to be of use. Coldmachine Talk 06:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Zopyron requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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 removed 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. cyɾʋs ɴɵtɵɜat bʉɭagɑ!!!

The article Claudia Rapp has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Please stop inserting WP:WEASEL/ WP:W2W/ WP:ALLEGED in articles like on Masculinity and Toxic masculinity. Using terms like "alleged" is a rather clear attempt to discredit and cast doubt into the mind of the reader. It is a violation of WP:NPOV to insert this language when there's no substantive disagreement among sources. EvergreenFir (talk) 01:27, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Toxic masculinity. 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.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 03:42, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Electroconvulsive therapy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Family Life ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 09:11, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, I've substituted a specific link to the film now. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 02:03, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Cleisthenese, regarding this edit of yours at WP:BLPN, which has been reverted and which you restored, please note that you have removed a lot of content from the noticeboard. Would you please have a look and restore what was removed along with including the reply you were making? Thanks, EdChem ( talk) 07:58, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
{{

(e.g., {{
u|Cleisthenes2}}
pings you, like I used above); or otherwise bring it up on one of their talk pages or even here on your own. Whatever you did this time, it had a lot of collatoral damage. I think it's all fixed now, and you can bring up the discussion to
Fæ on
their talk page if you want to continue it, but hopefully now you understand why others were reverting you. —

Thanks Fæ. That Young has edited the article about him in the past isn't relevant. I'm the one who has been questioning the neutrality of the sentence in question, and I don't know him.
"The sky is blue" is clearly a less controversial statement than "those Toby Young tweets were misogynistic." "The tweets are seen to be offensive by the vast majority of people that read them." Do you have any evidence that would establish this, such as a (non-self-selected) survey of viewers of those tweets? In any case, I'm not sure whether a majority of people would find the tweets offensive is even relevant here. That's because it would be quite easy to record the basic facts (that Young was fired after some past tweets were uncovered) without taking any position on whether they were offensive or not. I am going to have another go at re-writing the sentence in a way that doesn't violate our duty to political neutrality. You're welcome to let me know how you think I've done. Cleisthenes2 |
Thanks Nøkkenbuer, that's very helpful. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 02:10, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi, do you have any personal or professional connection with Toby Young that should be declared at this point, per COIN? Thanks -- Fæ ( talk) 06:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
No. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 09:25, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks Fæ - it's good of you to be concerned about potential conflicts of interest on Wikipedia. In this case, though, there are none. I've never met Young nor am I in any of the same networks, professional or otherwise. (As it happens, I haven't lived in the UK for over a decade now.) I'm not lobbying for him nor for any cause he espouses. I'm only interested in the language in this piece because I'm keen to keep Wikipedia a politically neutral and respected source. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 10:59, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Toby Young shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. 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 your 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 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 10:17, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
Nomoskedasticity: I just posted a request for mediation here. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Request_for_mediation_in_a_dispute_over_the_article_on_Toby_Young As you'll see there, my actions were based on a clear majority in favour of conforming to Wikipedia's policy on neutrality. My recent revert was simply to resist continued changes back to language that has been supported by only one user. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 10:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

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 (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed. 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.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
The following sanction now applies to you:
You are indefinitely topic banned from Toby Young.
You have been sanctioned See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Cleisthenes2 and Toby Young - topic_ban
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/GamerGate#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. Galobtter ( pingó mió) 07:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
I have removed your request at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, but this is not a denial of your appeal. Rather, the appeal was malformed. Please see the instructions at the top of the page for using the correct template to file your appeal, and feel free to repost it in that way. This is not just to be bureaucratic; we need all of that information it will have you provide to evaluate your request. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:52, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
OK thanks. I will try to fill in the form. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 18:23, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Per recent revert by another eeitor. Same concerns as mine. Rather than inserting as a separate claim, look at the source and see if it is relevant to the second sentence of the lede as further evidence of the generally negative way that PC is viewed. Then try the talk page and see if you can gain consensus regarding the notability and significance of the study to perhaps have it as a standalone entry or to support other content. Koncorde ( talk) 19:37, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. I will post something on the talk page when I get some time. Are you saying that it would be more appropriate just as a reference after the second sentence? That would seem acceptable to me. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 14:42, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
I have fixed the template so that it displays properly. Please note that you are required to inform the admin ( User:Galobtter) who applied the sanction. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 20:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Seraphimblade. I was just about to correct the English in the entry on Zapatero, and I noticed I'd been banned for a few hours. I have to say I'm a bit confused as to why. I know I'm banned from editing the entry on Toby Young, but I haven't done that for ages. Unless you get banned for making a comment on the talk page for topics you're banned from, which I wasn't aware of and would seem a bit odd, since my comment doesn't affect what shows up on the public page on that topic. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 14:49, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Cleisthenes2. I have put a question to you in my comment in the admin section, namely "Would you like to have a shot at explaining how it computes for you, Cleisthenes2?" (I guess you need to read my whole post for context.) I know you're blocked and can't reply on the AE page, but if you'd like to post a reply here, below, I or somebody else will move it over for you, as Seraphimblade says above. Of course it's up to you if you wish to reply or not — I didn't come here to nag you about it, but just to point out that it's a real question (as opposed to rhetorical). Bishonen | talk 12:17, 11 February 2020 (UTC).
Your appeal has been declined, as there was consensus to do so and no appetite to agree to the delay you requested, but you may appeal again when you next have time if you wish. However, based on the comments received it seems unlikely that any future appeal will be successful without you having demonstrated you can edit productively and collaboratively in other topic areas. Doing so will require that you refrain from the personal attacks on other editors. Thryduulf ( talk) 13:22, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello Cleisthenes2 - I just read the debate you've been having with a couple of other editors at Talk:Political correctness#Study on PC. I mostly agree with you. Perhaps we could write a proposed edit to the lede (and other sections, if appropriate) and then try to reach a consensus with other editors. Let me know if you would like to do that. All the best - - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 23:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
