Question from ReclaimEC1 (12:03, 13 May 2025)

Could you take a look at my first draft please? --ReclaimEC1 (talk) 12:03, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ReclaimEC1! Your first draft is good, but relies too much on non-independent and primary sources. For instance, his own guild promoting him isn't necessarily encyclopedic, and we would like to see commentary by independent sources writing about him instead. Same for the database listing every association he is a member of: if independent, secondary sources haven't picked up on it, it is not necessarily due for a mention in the encyclopedia.

Assyrian–Chaldean–Aramean–Syriac topics

Question from Surayeproject3 (11:22, 14 May 2025)

Hello! I saw your recent comments at the messy AfD and the village pump proposal for general sanctions. I'm one of the editors involved in the recent disputes on Assyrian (Chaldean/Syriac/Aramean) topics, and given the recent events, I want to work to resolve the dispute in a way that is non-POV and neutral from the content perspective. So far, I have a few ideas in mind as to how I want to go about this:

• Look at Draft:Aramean people and condense the references into a bibliography section, and then find content to merge into Arameans. I've already done the condensing to a certain degree and once I conclude, I hope to start glossing over both in order to determine the content that should be carried over.
• Finish my current Draft:Assyrian identity crisis, which aims to outline the history of the overall dispute so that future readers/editors/admins can understand why this is contentious to begin with.
• Edit bigger articles such as Assyrian people, Assyrian continuity, Terms for Syriac Christians, etc. to include the new information while simultaneously being non-POV and reliant on secondary, reliable sources

I also want to have peer reviews of the first two (Arameans and Assyrian identity crisis) so that they can be elevated to a status such as GA or FA; that way, I believe this would reduce edit-warring and allow for a consensus to be placed on the content by the community, but I've never done these processes so I don't know if that's how it works.

These are just some of the steps I have outlined, but please let me know what you think and if you have any thoughts. The recent disputes have also been a reflection of my own editing since joining Wikipedia and I hope to take away greater dispute resolution experience so I can continue to positively contribute to the encyclopedia and the topic area. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon! Surayeproject3 (talk) 15:25, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

14 May

@Chaotic Enby the whole tban thing and draftifying is very confusing still. as recently pointed out at WP:XRV. what is now happening to Draft:Aramean people is the other party starting to edit it in order to incorporate the text into the current Arameans article and other places, basically fragmenting the article which would then lead to it never passing as a article due to being a WP:FORK.

Why is no sanctions placed on the other party, there were some people raising awareness of him gaming ANI and edit-warring as well and was also subject to tban? As seen above (in their talk message), their POV is even showing there when he stated "Assyrian" topics and then all the other in parenthesis; (Chaldean/Syriac/Aramean). His Draft:Assyrian identity crisis is POV by the name, asserting that the Arameans are in reality Assyrians with an identity crisis. Isn't this undermining of other ethnic identities? How is this allowed? It is now a targeted attempt to fragment Draft:Aramean people into other articles due to Asilvering drafing the article.

@Hammersoft Am I allowed to speak about things like this? Wlaak (talk) 17:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

In short, no with respect to your comments regarding articles and drafts. With respect to the behavior of another editor; if you can do it without mentioning topics covered by the topic ban, then yes. I implemented the topic ban with respect to you because that was the proposal on the table, not a topic ban for anyone else. A number of editors expressed an interest in topic bans for others. I could not and would not apply topic bans to them from that discussion because the topic ban was explicitly set up to seek consensus on whether to apply a topic ban to you, not to anyone else. To interpret further topic bans from it than the one for you would have been out of line. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:54, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

But I am sitting here completely silent and I am seeing how the draft is slowly falling into their control, when I say this I am referring to the question above titled "Question from Surayeproject3." Can there be no action to prevent them from ruining it? It was set to be decided at AfD, but they are now disregarding that and starting to plan on how to fragment it and place it in other places, that way a indirect AfD with closure "delete" will be happening since there will be no way for it to pass AfD once it gets brought up to question again (because all information is already available on wiki, just fragmented). Wlaak (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Wlaak, what you've just said rather proves the necessity of the topic ban. You are not able to let go. Even now, you are not being completely silent about the topic. This continuance is a violation of the topic ban. Walk away. Turn your back. Go do something else. There is no 'winning' or 'losing' on Wikipedia. Some things don't work out the way we want. That's just how it is in a large, collaborative environment. Please, drop the stick and move on. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

I am going to group these two discussions together, as they are intricately related and it is hard to answer one without discussing the other at the same time.

Ideally, changes to the contentious aspects of the topic (incorporating elements of Draft:Aramean people in other articles, pretty much everything on Terms for Syriac Christians) should reflect the consensus of the community, which is not as obvious to assess as it might appear. @Surayeproject3, your goals of improving the articles in a more NPOV way are very commendable. However, as all of you might have seen, it is hardly something that one person can do without controversy (even if you work from historical sources, the weight you give to each and the understanding you have of them might not be the same as someone on "the other side" of the issue). Because of that, I believe that the best thing to do now is to not edit articles directly related to the controversy, as that would only add more fuel to the fire. Working on other topics can also teach you a lot about how consensus-building works on Wikipedia, and give you hindsight as to why diving head-first into a controversy is not advisable.

@Wlaak, I really understand your frustration. It may seem unjust to feel powerless while someone from "the other side" is editing a topic you care a lot about. However, you should also take this as a learning opportunity. Most likely, after you successfully appeal your topic ban in six months, the dispute won't have been resolved yet, and you will have more experience and know how to contribute constructively in the discussion. In the meantime, it is best to not think too much about the issue. I know that is easy to say, but focusing on other topics, and becoming more familiar with consensus-building discussions, will make for a much stronger case when you appeal your topic ban in six months.

You might notice that I gave both of you very similar advice, and that is not a coincidence. While you do come from opposite sides of the issue, it is clearly something that matters a lot to both of you, and that has been in the focus of your Wikipedia editing. Covering a topic which systemic bias would tend to miss is very much helpful, and I really hope you both stay here and become regular editors. However, being too laser-focused on a controversial topic at the very beginning means you might miss on learning a lot of baggage that is essential to navigate these tougher discussions, which is why I strongly invite both of you to work on other topics close to your heart. The dispute has been here for more than a decade – it can certainly wait six months. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good with me. I've been recommended by Hammersoft to follow the same path, so I'll mostly focus on other topic areas for now. Would it be a problem to edit articles in the topic area that are not contentious or part of the controversy (say for example, cuisine, or something related to the Syriac alphabet)? Surayeproject3 (talk) 20:40, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Surayeproject3! Yes, those edits would be fine. Technically, all articles in the topic can be made part of the controversy (for instance, by disputing the national origin of a dish – happens way more often than you'd think), but I trust you to have common sense and edit responsibly. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:53, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Chaotic Enby, I hope you've been doing well! In the week+ since the dispute has settled down a bit, I've taken up your advice and have worked on articles outside of the topic area (La CQ, for example) while also editing articles within the topic area that are not part of the controversy (ex. Roomrama). I aim to continue this route of article editing primarily, but I just had a quick question I wanted to pass by you.

I mentioned in my first reply that an intention of mine was to finish Draft:Assyrian identity crisis (which aims to explain why the dispute is so contentious in the first place) and eventually publish it with the intent of having it reviewed for GA or FA status. However, your advice was to not work on articles related to the controversy as that could fan its flames before greater experience in Wikipedia is accrued. Since the previous work I've completed is still in draftspace and not yet an article, would it be a problem for me to continue working on it and write it closer to completion? And once I do finish it, should I keep it in draftspace or am I OK to publish it and go ahead with the review? The waters surrounding it are kind of muddy given recent events and I want reassurance on whether it's recommended before I go ahead and do anything.

Let me know what you think, hoping to hear from you soon! Surayeproject3 (talk) 16:49, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Surayeproject3! Thanks a lot for the question, your current editing looks pretty fine.

Regarding your draft, it is fine to work on it in draftspace, and I encourage you to do so! However, it could be better to put off a move to mainspace until we can have a broader discussion on how to address the topic, as otherwise, we might see a similar situation as what happened with Draft:Aramean people.

Happy editing! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:02, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

@Chaotic Enby Thanks for your input and for letting me know. I'll be sure to follow up with any questions about it once the discussion resumes and I'm in a better position to handle disputes. Otherwise thanks for the kind wishes and I hope to continue contributing positively to the site! Surayeproject3 (talk) 23:35, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for this, I agree with everything here. I just don't want to be back in 6 months just to see that the Draft is fragmented in other articles (as said above) and thus making it impossible getting the article to mainspace again due to it being a WP:FORK.

But for now, I will follow your advice and see other things I find interesting, might be autonomy. I know that I am on a topic-ban so I will step down from discussing this topic more to avoid getting worse sanctions upon me. Thank you for your help. Wlaak (talk) 20:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

@Wlaak, you're welcome. Have fun editing, I believe in you! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:55, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Need guidence

Hi there

You don’t know me but I was part of a wikiproject about the Aramean people draft. Thid whole month have been a rollercoaster and I’m not the most experienced guy out there so I need some guidance to what is happening next. I cane across you on Wlaak’s talkpage and you wrote very well answers may I add that’s why I am contacting you.

Since Wlaak now have received a tban I almost feel left alone in the draft. The draft was sent to review way before it was finished. Still it got accepted as a good draft and two seconds later nominated for deletion. The deletion discussion was all a mess and the article is now sent back as a draft, again. It would seem that those who write about Assyrian topics holds a grudge against Aramean related topics (based om my experience on wiki). Those who were against the Aramean draft in the discussion have all been accused of have an POV. My question is what is the next step? Should I continue to work on it and sent it to review if I feel it is now finished. And if I do so I am afraid the same process will take place which would make all of this a waste of time. Those who have an Assyrian POV will nominate the article for deletion and jump in the discussion with their [fragile] arguments.

Sorry for the long text but as you notice I’m as confused as Trump is atm.

Kind Regards Historynerd361 (talk) 12:35, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Historynerd361!

Thank you for asking – that is often the most responsible thing to do when you are unsure. With the recent events, the Aramean/Assyrian situation is in a bit of a truce: Wlaak has been topic-banned, while Surayeproject3 has agreed to move away from the contentious aspects of the topic for the time being.

As you might guess, the dispute goes beyond the existence of a single draft, and extends to how we should label Aramean and Assyrian people in general, and whether or not to treat the two as separate. That is why I do not believe that sending the draft for review once again right now is helpful, although you can certainly work on improving it! Ideally, in a few months, everyone will have familiarized themselves a little bit more with Wikipedia's processes, and we will be able to set up a wider-scale discussion about how to properly describe the topic on Wikipedia (including Wlaak assuming they successfully appeal their topic ban). That will hopefully settle what to do with the draft, and avoid a cycle of repeated submission and deletion.

Drafts usually expire after six months, which is the same timeframe after which Wlaak will be able to appeal. So, for the draft not to disappear just before we can decide what to do with it, I have tagged it with {{Promising draft}} for the time being. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 06:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from ReclaimEC1 (20:25, 15 May 2025)

I am slowly getting to grips with the styles and how to edit things any chance you can take a look through those i've done work on and ensure they are ok. improve coverage of overlooked but historically relevant civic bodies in the City of London. I acknowledge there may be tone issues, but these can easily be corrected through collaborative editing. I intend to expand documentation on other underrepresented Livery Companies and Common Councillors across Wikipedia. --ReclaimEC1 (talk) 20:25, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @ReclaimEC1! Looking at your last edits, I notice that some rely too much on primary/non-independent sources, which isn't necessarily helpful (especially for neutrality). For example, in this edit (with the summary Re-edited the entry to make it meet the Wiki criteria for notability and neutrality.), you added His leadership has been credited with modernising the Guild’s engagement with young professionals in the City. Following his election in 2025, the Guild acknowledged his civic service as a milestone for younger members rising through the City’s institutions., sourced to the Guild's own website. This isn't ideal, as the Guild is likely to publish material putting its own leader in a positive light. Draft:Financial Services Group of Livery Companies also heavily relies on sources from the Group's members, and would need more secondary and independent sources.

Hi there,

The other day you rolled back some edits made by an IP to Rouba Mhaissen. Would you be willing to do so again? Another IP editor is going in and removing references and adding unreferenced statements. Since they made multiple edits, I thought a single revert would be easier than reverting all their individual edits. I'm going to go ahead and request protection for the page as well, so hopefully this doesn't continue to happen. Thanks for taking a look at this! ForsythiaJo (talk) 18:18, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey CE, I was wondering if you've made any progress with the prototype of Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)#Unblock request wizard? I'm assuming we'll need an RfC to actually get it implemented later on down the line... is that something we should start planning now or later? I don't have much experience with RfCs so if that's something you're willing to help with as well that'd be a lifesaver. I'm just good at brainstorming cool ideas, I guess.

Question from Encyclo Rida (13:34, 31 May 2025)

Hi, I am creating some articles with available reliable sources to publish on Wikipedia. The articles are on my sandbox, I can not see MOVE button to move my pages to main page. can you please guide and help me I am new here --Encyclo Rida (talk) 13:34, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Encyclo Rida! You should be able to move the article in draftspace (not in mainspace yet). You might find it in a top-down menu labeled "Tools", otherwise there is guidance at Help:How to move a page. Then, you can use Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Submitting to submit the article for review. However, I would advise you to not submit your draft just yet, as it is currently lacking sources for many paragraphs (Help:Referencing for beginners), and reading in a quite promotional, editorializing way (Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:46, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

By the way, a few other things to note:

• Chaldean and related identities are under a general sanction regime. While this shouldn't be an issue if you're just describing him as identifying as Chaldean-American, it is something you can keep in mind.
• A lot of the prose (especially the promotional/editorializing aspects) reads like it was written with the help of a LLM. It can be best to rewrite this yourself, as these tools are known to have pitfalls when used for encyclopedic writing.
• If you have been working off-wiki with User:Louiszarour and User:Rida Nawaz on this project, it is good to be transparent about it.
• You should be careful with images labeled "own work" to make sure that the person uploading them was indeed the photographer (and thus the copyright holder).

Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:55, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

How can you say this? Have you checked my sandbox? So if I use button move, it will go to my draft box, not main page? and for what and when should i submit the article for review? Encyclo Rida (talk) 13:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I checked your sandbox, which I assume is the article you wanted to move. If you use the "move" button, it will give you the choice of where to move it (you can select "Draft", which isn't "your" draftbox but an open draft), and then you can submit it so an Articles for Creation volunteer will review it and move it in mainspace.

How do I make good info boxes --Astrawiki3203 (talk) 15:44, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Astrawiki3203! You have many pre-existing infobox templates for each possible use case – looking at your userpage, you might use {{Infobox event}}, which has some documentation about which parameters you can use. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:17, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from Nitinrv0099 (17:57, 9 June 2025)

Hello sir, i read the policy which say always add relevant sources, how shall we determine which one is relevant source…? Kindly guide --Nitinrv0099 (talk) 17:57, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello @Nitinrv0099! Usually, when you write anything on Wikipedia, you will want to cite a source that supports your claim, which means that a reader having access to the source can look at it and see that it does mention what you are writing about. You can check if the sources are reliable (generally accurate for the topic) here, here and here, and, if you have a few independent reliable sources that talk about a topic in-depth, it might just be fit for an article of its own!

Colors

Re: [1]

I think those colors are too close to be distinguishable to the vision-impaired who are not completely blind. Maybe also to people who suffer from a certain type of color-blindness. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 20:24, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

Good call! I replaced green with yellow (and made it slightly lighter) so they can be more easily differentiated. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:37, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

That's an improvement, but I think more contrast would be more improvement. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 20:56, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

I added more contrast, how is it now? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:06, 9 June 2025 (UTC)

That looks ok. I think when I added the colors years ago, I went to some website and used it to choose two colors that were mathematically complementary. I made a damn science out of it. But that was perhaps overkill, and I doubt I could find the site again anyway. Thanks. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 01:06, 10 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from Presleyconnor (22:35, 14 June 2025)

Hi! I just spent quite a bit of time editing a page, and when I went to publish, it gave me an edit error. When I went to resolve it, it showed the conflict, but my work had disappeared. Is there a way to locate what I wrote? I spent a lot of time on it! --Presleyconnor (talk) 22:35, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Presleyconnor! When an edit conflict happens, the content you wrote should be present at the very bottom of the edit window. Is that the case for you? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:37, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

It was momentarily, and then it just sent me back to the first version of the draft I was working on. Presleyconnor (talk) 22:40, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

If you still have the content you wrote, you can copy-paste the relevant changes you made into the current version. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:41, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't have the content saved anywhere else, so I may just need to write again. Lessons learned. Thank you! Presleyconnor (talk) 22:44, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Good luck! In the future, you can go to Preferences, Editing, and check "Enable the Edit Recovery feature" for cases like this! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:49, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from BROTHER KULEE (17:38, 16 June 2025)

Why do they delate my information --BROTHER KULEE (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @BROTHER KULEE! Which information are you referring to? In limited cases, you can take a look at WP:REFUND to get a copy of a deleted page emailed back to you or recreated as a draft. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:32, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

As the person who did the deleted your userpage in the first place, the quick answer is "because Wikipedia is not meant for personal web hosting". The kind of writing you posted is more for a blog talking about yourself, not Wikipedia. Sohom (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from Aisemusician (00:04, 19 June 2025)

How do I publish my watchlist to wikipedia --Aisemusician (talk) 00:04, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Aisemusician, if you are talking about your Wikipedia:Watchlist, it is private. If you meant to talk about your draft article about yourself, then Wikipedia is not really the place for that. It is pretty much impossible to write about yourself neutrally, and, even if you did manage to do so, an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. If you are notable enough, someone else will write an article about you in due time. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 00:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
