ACE2024
[edit]Hi. Not a criticism, but just pointing out that your question (#12) here appears to be a near duplicate to Q5 which seems to have been adequately answered. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:26, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I mentioned in the question that there is overlap with your question 5. isaacl (talk) 00:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
COI/paid language tweaks
[edit]Take a look at User:Lawlerfa. I successfully AfD and deleted the page on which he was the overwhelming majority contributor but this is something that should be worded into COI/Paid somehow. He was the board president at the organization I AfD'd at the time he did a lot of contents adding, however I think most non-profit board members are "unpaid". There's nothing that addresses board members in our current language. Graywalls (talk) 02:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- In theory it's covered by Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § What is conflict of interest?. But like all guidelines in English Wikipedia, compliance depends on editors acting in good faith and having a common alignment in goals. I can think of a few reasons why a board member might edit an article about their organization. They might think it's OK if they can edit neutrally (and there is a significant number of editors in the community who think the content of the edit is more important than who makes the edit), or they might not be concerned about Wikipedia having text written from a neutral point of view. If you have any ideas about how to effectively educate such editors, and efficiently channel them towards either making productive edits or ceasing to edit (if their goals remain incompatible with Wikipedia's), please do raise them in a common venue so others can discuss them. Personally, I don't think language tweaks will make much difference in either educating or redirecting their efforts – I think something has to change with the process of getting new users familiarized with Wikipedia expectations. But I don't have any good ideas on what might work well. isaacl (talk) 03:47, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Palestine-Israel articles 5 arbitration case opened
[edit]You offered a statement in an arbitration enforcement referral. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Evidence. Please add your evidence by 23:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC), which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Palestine-Israel articles 5/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Party Guide/Introduction. For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 06:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Palestine-Israel articles 5 updates
[edit]You are receiving this message because you are on the update list for Palestine-Israel articles 5. The drafters note that the scope of the case was somewhat unclear, and clarify that the scope is The interaction of named parties in the WP:PIA topic area and examination of the WP:AE process that led to two referrals to WP:ARCA
. Because this was unclear, two changes are being made:
First, the Committee will accept submissions for new parties for the next three days, until 23:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC). Anyone who wishes to suggest a party to the case may do so by creating a new section on the evidence talk page, providing a reason with WP:DIFFS as to why the user should be added, and notifying the user. After the three-day period ends, no further submission of parties will be considered except in exceptional circumstances. Because the Committee only hears disputes that have failed to be resolved by the usual means, proposed parties should have been recently taken to AE/AN/ANI, and either not sanctioned, or incompletely sanctioned. If a proposed party has not been taken to AE/AN/ANI, evidence is needed as to why such an attempt would have been ineffective.
Second, the evidence phase has been extended by a week, and will now close at 23:59, 21 December 2024 (UTC). For the Arbitration Committee, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
