Supplements and complementary and alternative medicine listed at Redirects for discussion

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Supplements and complementary and alternative medicine. Since you had some involvement with the Supplements and complementary and alternative medicine redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Closing discussions

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

You were involved in the discussion previously. As you know, involved editors should not close discussions. You may request a close. See WP:CLOSE. Between the two, it's odd that you'd leave the stale discussion open and close the active one. I've corrected that. James J. Lambden (talk) 17:49, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Was not aware of that — thank you for correcting my mistake. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 18:03, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Problems

  • The block log sometimes showed blocks as being much longer than they were. This has now been fixed. [5]

Changes this week

  • Wikimedia pages will now be better at showing pictures when you share them on social media. The descriptions will be different too. You can see an example of before and after. [6]
  •   There are some changes to the OOjs UI. Some old functions will not work anymore or not work as they used to. This could be a breaking change. [7]
  •   The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 February. It will be on all wikis from 9 February (calendar).

Meetings

  •   You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 7 February at 20:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

  •   Tidy will be replaced later this year. Instead, the HTML 5 parsing algorithm will be used to clean up bad HTML in wikitext. This will cause problems on a number of wikis. They need to be fixed first. You can see if your wiki still has something to fix here for one of the HTML problems. This list does not cover all problems. You can read about more problems. [8][9]

Thanks for uploading File:Steele dossier.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I've unblocked per my comment at AE. Not sure you won't be re-blocked per the arbitration enforcement rules, but I hope not. Happy editing. Bishonen | talk 21:47, 21 February 2017 (UTC).

Thank you Bishonen — I hope we can leave this incident behind us. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 21:53, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Fine work by several people. Now, Carl, please tread more carefully, eh? As it goes, I completely disagree with your edit, and would have done so even if similar edits had not been reverted. Even the mango Musolini gets the protection of WP:BLP, and it's best to leave contentious matters to an RfC ad let some poor bugger with a mop close it. Guy (Help!) 23:49, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

To enforce an arbitration decision and for your reinstatement of a challenged edit without consensus, in violation of the page restrictions currently in effect on the page Donald Trump–Russia dossier, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 16:41, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

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 most common way to appeal an AE block is for the user to fill out the {{Arbitration enforcement appeal}} template here on their talk page and then someone will copy it over to AE for them. EdJohnston (talk) 18:43, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

==Arbitration enforcement action appeal by CFCF==
Procedural notes: The rules governing arbitration enforcement appeals are found here. According to the procedures, a "clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors" is required to overturn an arbitration enforcement action.

To help determine any such consensus, involved editors may make brief statements in separate sections but should not edit the section for discussion among uninvolved editors. Editors are normally considered involved if they are in a current dispute with the sanctioning or sanctioned editor, or have taken part in disputes (if any) related to the contested enforcement action. Administrators having taken administrative actions are not normally considered involved for this reason alone (see WP:UNINVOLVED).

Statement by CFCF

The sanctioned edit was performed in the faith that it was both uncontroversial and in line with the current consensus. It was also performed several days ago, and the action taken against me occurring now is quite far detached from my edit and acts in my view to be WP:PUNITIVE. I realize that this may on certain occasions be appropriate, but the idea that I was acting out of line did not occur to me at the moment as I considered the edit to be justified by consensus. The ongoing discussion on the talk page was not concluded but weighted towards inclusion as per my reading. Judged together with: a discussion consisting of a mix of voting; with non-voting discussion preceding this: and some users who had engaging only in one of the two — it may have been rash for me to conclude that I could so quickly determine consensus. I admit that it may have been wrong in my interpretation, but do not believe this should have incurred sanction. I may also have been rash to conclude that since the image was present for a longer period before being removed, that would fall under the ordinarily interpretation of meaning it was less than controversial. Judging these together I consider I was acting in good faith when I believed my edit would not violate any sanctions.

I realize that my actions can be interpreted as defying consensus, even though this was not my intent. However, the change was neither contested when it was made or in the period preceding this block, which I believe acts in my favor. No comments addressing me or that I was made aware of through a ping or similar were made. Any editor could have repeated the removal or commented with a differing interpretation of the consensus in a way that informed me. To me the block seems overly harsh, considering neither prior warning nor so much as a comment was directed towards me. Had anyone suggested I was acting incorrectly — the situation would have been very different and I would have attempted to rectify it immediately by self-reverting.

These may be some of our most contentious articles, but I did not act believing I was in defiance of rules, policies or other regulations as set by ArbCom — and would very much like to resume editing as per usual. I believe this type of block is harmful in part because it strongly discourages me (or others) from working in controversial subject areas if such risks persist — and these areas need quite a few eyes. Since I consider editing Wikipedia to be very important to me I am especially careful to avoid risks, and believe this goes for many of us — and this impacts which concepts I feel I can engage in. I hope you accept my sincere apology and regret and hope you would reconsider this block so that I can resume using one of my rarer free evenings to edit. Please also rest assured this has been taken as a strong warning and I will act more carefully in the future. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 19:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Discussion among uninvolved editors about the appeal by CFCF

Result of the appeal by CFCF

This section is to be edited only by uninvolved administrators. Comments by others will be moved to the sections above.

Appeal copied to AE

...by me. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC) Thank you, Beyond My Ken, closing this section here.

Note I did not sign the appeal prior to your copy, I do not know if this matters at all. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 19:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
This is "a fair use image", it adds little to the subject. Moreover, there is no consensus for inclusion as should be obvious here. You probably did not realize what kind of trouble this is going to be. I would advise you to withdraw this AE appeal, given that the block is only 24 hours. My very best wishes (talk) 20:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
We can disagree on the specifics of interpreting consensus and of whether it adds to the subject, as I stated above. However I remain steadfast in stating that I acted in good faith and that the block was overly harsh — especially as it was not preceded by any warning and came 2 days after the disputed action took place. If there is insufficient time to review the block before it runs out I still see reason to review the action in order to judge if it was appropriate. Why do you suggest I withdraw the appeal in face of that My very best wishes? Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 20:56, 21 February 2017 (UTC) 
I agree that block was too harsh (a warning with explanation would be enough). But I simply think your request is not going anywhere, given the circumstances and opinions of admins around. So it would be best to withdraw and save some time. But, OK, please keep it if you think this will help you to achieve something. Just remember, this is not a place for justice, but merely an educational resource/website. As about the Log, no, this article was included in the Log, and if you insist that you should be included in the Log, someone will probably do it. My very best wishes (talk) 21:30, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

I would also like to add that I find no reference to the sanction in question as applied in this case at the link provided: Wikipedia:ARBAPDS. Nor can I find any log of the current action as relates to American politics at Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions/Log, and there is no accompanying prior discussion or request for arbitration enforment. As such there are several faults in the block which I will appeal to have it entirely rescinded — which I understand must not pass through arbcom. Whether this happens within the 24 hours or not is of no issue, these misses are not mere formalities, but frankly sufficient to rescind the block immediately. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 21:26, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

You were right. One never knows what these guys are going to decide. Happy editing! My very best wishes (talk) 01:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Kåeff?

Latest comment: 7 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

If it's not too personal, Carl Fredrik, I've been wondering what you call yourself in daily life. I have an uncle named Carl Fredrik, and he's always familiarly known as Kåeff. Phonetically speaking, that is. It's spelled "CF". :-D Names and nicknames are fascinating to me. When I was a child and innocent of spellings, I thought Kåeff was an ordinary, regular man's name, that anybody might be called, just as well as Åke or Lars. Bishonen | talk 22:26, 3 March 2017 (UTC).

I'd assume that from my account name you could guess :p. "CF" is my nickname, and people normally call me that, (pronounced "see-eff", like a longer version of the e in "met" / "seː-ef") or my full name, Carl Fredrik (which I actually recorded for fun at File:Carl_Fredrik_pronunciation.ogg – ignore the last-name). Most English speakers call me Carl, which is also fine. I'm assuming your uncle's name was actually "Karl-Fredrik" (mine is a rare spelling, especially among those who are over 50), which makes it more reasonable to call him KF, or if you pronounce the letters K & F : "Kåeff" ("koː-ef"). Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 02:12, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
No, it wasn't. Your spelling may be rare, but I wrote it because it's also my uncle's spelling. It's the "C" spelling that makes the "Kåeff" so intriguing. And, as I said, his Kåeff is spelled CF. I was wondering if the same oddness had happened to you. But I guess these are mysteries. May I call you Kalle? Bishonen | talk 13:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC).
Sure, I'm called Calle from time to time. However you may want to spell it with a "C" to avoid confusion. Haven't heard of anyone being called "Kåeff" who spells it with a C, but I guess you learn something new every day. It's interesting because the C is pronounced as a [k], while the letter "C" is pronounced ~"See". The letter K is prononunced "Kå", but I guess anyone is free to have an idiosyncratically pronounced/spelled nickname :). Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 14:27, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

  • You can now search on English, French, Hebrew and Greek wikis and find words even if you forget the diacritics. It also works if you use diacritics in your search but the wiki doesn't. [25]
  • When you use the mobile view and click on a link to an article in another language you will see that article in the mobile view. Previously it changed to the desktop view. [26]

Problems

  • Some watchlist gadgets didn't work for a period of time last week. This has now been fixed. [27]
  • Admins who click on "mass delete" on a user's Special:Contributions will be taken directly to a list pages created by that user. It has worked like this before, but not lately. [28]

Changes this week
