Hi Uncle G. It looked like you have an interest in BLP pages and I was hoping you might have a minute to review 3-4 sentences I've proposed at the bottom of Talk:Ulf_Mark_Schneider to expand on the career section (see COI disclosure). It's based primarily on a Financial Times article I can provide a PDF of. Someone tagged it with "request edit", but my understanding is that using Request Edit is for after consensus for the change already appears evident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buckeye16505 (talk • contribs) 13:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as I Should Have Died, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nominationbyvisiting 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 deleted 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.

This comment is filled with personal attacks ("tripe", "bunkum", "utter drivel"). You might want to tone it down a bit. FOARP (talk) 20:27, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, FOARP, you reflect on all this shifting and tapdancing, and why your goal of getting rid of the wretched GNIS stuff has so blinded you that you'll outright resort to all of these tactics and what has now become (since you've had it explained four times over to several utterly fundamental levels) wilful repetition of falsehoods in the face of what's right under your nose, including things that are easy to read right from the title page of a source. This is a poor show for people who are expected to be writing an encyclopaedia. Reflect that you're now being lauded by the "I Googled it and got no hits." ("I looked in Google Earth") camp. Counting Google hits is of course not research, but your methodology is being defended by the people who put zero research effort in, whose own approach is also shameful. That's a big red flag that you're going very astray.
Hello, Uncle G,
I was looking at our PROD list and I think there might be a problem with the PROD tagging you did today. I don't know whether you use Twinkle or paste in a template on to the target article but you have a lot of tagged articles that showed up on the error list (see User:DumbBOT/ProdSummary#Failed to parse). I'm not tech savvy enough to diagnose the problem but since you went to the trouble of evaluating and tagging these articles, it's important they show up on the list that admins review when they come due next week. It might be a problem with the time stamp, that sometimes causes errors. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 04:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While reading through WP:AN#Distasteful? (in re death of Kissinger), you commented that the Nobel Peace Prize article has two different prize figures quoted, and you had a seemingly-relevant but paywalled source.
I'm not sure if you're still looking for sources. If so, here's what (some of) the article said, and I've incorporated into Nobel Peace Prize: the amount of prize money varies from year to year (presumably depending on how much the Nobel Foundation has on hand). They give some recent prize amounts, hovering around the 10 megakronor mark, and note that an early award to Red Cross was only worth about $15k.

Hi Uncle G. I noticed that you seem to be using pretty long full protection durations when dealing with edit warring compared to what I'm accustomed to seeing (and what I've inferred from WP:PREEMPTIVE which is a bit vague). I wanted to ask if the common practice differs on WP:ANI and WP:ANEW compared to WP:RFPPI where full protections are generally a week or less. Thanks.
