  • Following the banning of an editor by the WMF last year, the Arbitration Committee resolved to hold an RfC regarding on-wiki harassment. The RfC has been posted at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Anti-harassment RfC and is open to comments from the community.
  • The Medicine case was closed, with a remedy authorizing standard discretionary sanctions for all discussions about pharmaceutical drug prices and pricing and for edits adding, changing, or removing pharmaceutical drug prices or pricing from articles.

Don't ask for people's contact details on Wikipedia, Masmas19. It is highly inappropriate, and you won't get them. Asking three times sounds like trolling. Bishonen | tålk 21:25, 5 July 2020 (UTC).

Help to counter vandalism

Hello Titoda, I need your administrative help to counter continuous vandalism. User talk:Kishalay Mukherjee, a new editor, is continuously vandalising wikipedia with a disruptive manner. A number of editors, including me has reverted his edits and also warned to stop vandalism. But he continue defying those warnings. You can see his talk page and also his contributions. He continuously removed sourced contents and added unreliable original research sources in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Mayapur page to establish his own view. I've warned him a many time, but without giving any reply in his talk page, he continuously defying those warnings. Please take a look. If possible, please block this user or strongly warned him. Thank you, waiting for your administrative activity. বাক্যবাগীশ (talk) 19:46, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

  • I have reverted an edit, and added a suggestion. If an edit is unsourced/badly sourced that can be reverted. An exceptional claim, if made, must be supported by a reliable/multiple reliable sources. You may report at WP:ANI if needed. Regards. --Titodutta (talk) 19:59, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
