[p]roposal for better addressing undisclosed paid editing. Feedback is being accepted until 24 April 2023.
As I told User:CityOfSilver at User talk:CityOfSilver#I don't want to be unblocked, I am dropping my appeal. I have no desire to deal with User:Feoffer's behavior.
I will also be off Wikipedia for a month or so, likely followed by the process of having my account removed.
Before I request vanishing from a bureaucrat, I would like to say --as a matter of constructive criticism-- the tone of Wikipedia bureaucrats has been insulting and snide and is not a small part of why I want out.

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/AlisonW. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/AlisonW/Evidence. Please add your evidence by June 30, 2023, which is when the evidence phase closes. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

Re this revert, I didn't notice until after I edited another section for over-capitalization. Can you say which chnages you think were sub-optimal, and which were OK (at least roughly)? Dicklyon ( talk) 21:05, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Would you consider the latest edit under WP Voice. I'm trying to state an important fact without it sounding too critical, as a fact that just happens to be negative. Immelt presided over the most dramatic period in GE's history, something not reflected currently in the article's lead section. Knightoften ( talk) 02:45, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello @ SarekOfVulcan, I don't want to make it too long, but I have been personnally attacked multiple times on the same controversial article Juan Branco by an SPA (100%), and also an almost SPA (editing mostly this article or schools of the subject like Sciences Po) who both arrived after 2-6 months of inactivity in the sole purpose (it seems) to rollback my contributions (which consisted mainly of wp:translated content from the French B-class rated article). Also, I noticed that two contributors on the same page have an account name beginning and ending with the same letter (D......d) and both containing 8 characters. All that makes a bit much for me and, as I feel like I lost hours of work for nothing, and as I am still quite new here, I am wondering what I can do in this situation ? Can all that already be sanctionned if I report it ? Thanks, Imagritte ( talk) 01:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi SarekofVulcan,
Besides the "resort" in the very first line of the entry (which I wrote to you about separately), I'm baffled by why you would revert to the older census data when I provided the 2022 census number with the proper footnote. Can you explain what's motivating these reversions?
Thank you,

I'm trying to remove "resort" from the opening line describing the town of Bar Harbor, Maine. I think this label does a disservice to the town in multiple ways. Both economically & culturally, Bar Harbor is defined more by its significant research institutions (one of which employs 1,400 locals), its college, fishing community, hospital and schools, than it is by tourism. But, it's also, like many desirable destinations, struggling with a severe housing crisis and overwhelming seasonable tourism. These threaten its year-round community, who can no longer find housing or afford to live here. What I'm trying to say is Bar Harbor is and is struggling to remain More Than a Resort/Tourist Town. Wikipedia choosing to label it a "resort town" when many equally inundated, over-"loved" towns/cities are not so designated seems arbitrary & unfortunate.

Noting that you misspelled my name in your close of the ANI discussion. Also, just wondering, how did you figure out the consensus to be for one year? Not complaining, but just wondering as I don't remember seeing anyone state that they supported it only for a specific amount of time. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 17:10, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to
note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.
FYI,
Squared.Circle.Boxing reverted your notice of his GENSEX topic ban with
the edit summary Won't affect my editing; won't prevent anything; notches on pitchforks lol
.
I
asked him if he could clarify whether this was him signaling that he intends to continue editing in the same disruptive manner with no regard for the topic ban, which
he reverted with the edit summary Nope, I can not.
Just wanted to note this here, since I have no clue whether noting it at the closed ANI discussion would be appropriate or not. 2600:1700:87D3:3460:EC8D:3C81:53D4:D796 ( talk) 23:05, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
Hey, seems like 2601:C7:4202:6720:D981:6102:6FF8:C06A is an alternate IP of 2601:C7:4202:6720:99B9:43D5:CE62:2BF6, someone you blocked recently. Seems like a range block is required. Vonkelonkel ( talk) 14:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
