ANI

Hi Springee. At one point in your ANI filing, you use the word "antisymmetric/", where I assume you mean "antisemitic". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Also, "Philo" is probably a more reasonable shortening of the user name. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:11, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Vizorblaze

Sorry, I was asleep. I've been meaning to look at that editor but just to busy elsewhere. Too big a watchlist. Absolutely unacceptable behavior. But Philomathes does seem to play down antisemitism. The Spotlight, Liberty Lobby, etc are almost defined by their antisemitic views and that should be made clear in their articles.. Bill Buckley, (a nice guy, I met him a couple of times) and National Review (which I disagree with but respect) were right in saying so. Yes, Spotlight was a lot about anti-globalism, a useful code word, that's all. In cases like these we should call a spade a spade. Doug Weller talk 09:36, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Doug. I didn't realize admins were allowed to sleep. Is that a new policy? ( :D )
I'm generally not familiar with any of those sources so I can't say for certain. I do think Wikipedia editors are, as a group, too quick to apply labels etc to things rather than laying out the evidence and letting readers see the obvious conclusions. I guess that's something that is easy to do when dealing with 1930s European facists but harder when dealing with topics that never got much coverage one way or the other. Looking into Philo's behavior I see an editor who is acting in good faith but is totally not reading the room. Once they have presumed themselves to be right they seem to assume the rules are on their side. Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_therapy might also apply here. I hope they will tone it down and understand wiki etiquette quickly. Take care! (courtesy ping @Doug Weller ) Springee (talk) 12:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I think labels are fine if they are well-sourced. And leads should contain labels where they are significant to the subject. Doug Weller talk 12:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Moved your comment at ANI

Hey! just letting you know I moved the message you left at the transanarchist ANI out of the "asking for closure" section. I think it's a good idea to leave that section empty except for thetransanarchist's comment and comments about closing the discussion.

DN, you are right and thanks for calling me out on that. I've changed it. My intent was to describe the result but that certainly could be viewed as a PA on an editor. I hope "crazy" makes it clear I'm referring to the result. I also appreciate that you reached out. Hope you are doing well my friend. Springee (talk) 01:45, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
I wanted to drop by to clarify what I meant when I mentioned the Hunter Biden laptop article. I assumed you were familiar with it, but I was clearly incorrect. It's a similar situation to the Ngo page, where there is a weak and challenged consensus. With the way the consensus works here sometimes you'll have to end up accepting article content you don't agree with. I'm sure you're familiar with that fact, at least. Sometimes the best thing to do is just let it go for a while.
At the very least you should try to back off long engagements with editors that you're not going to convince to your point of view. The chance of attracting uninvolved input decreases with every level of indentation in the discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:39, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Thanks. I assumed something like what you described but I generally stay away from those articles other than my one suggestion to err on the side of not including negative content about H Biden. I do wish more editors would err on the side of being charitable to the BLP subject as a mater of principle regardless of which side of the political fence they sit on.

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.
