You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise.
Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right; don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.
This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated. |
Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia. If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.

First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future. |
The Da Vinci Globe
Hi Doug, I have an academic relationship with Stefaan Missinne and and I asked for his copyright for this wikipedia article and he accepted. how can i solve the many problems i seem to have ? thanks a lot @davidguam
Amendment on Domestic Terrorism
I dont see that the 7.21 Yuen Long Incidents and 8.31 Prince Edward Incidents are commonly recognized as domestic terrorism, and they dont match the definition of "domestic terrorism" at all.
The hong kong protesters are trying to deliver wrong messages to wikipedia users.
These two incidents should be removed from the examples.
The article Theories of Pashtun origin has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
Might you be able to help me with another admin?
I’m writing to you on the strength of your being listed first on Recently Active Users.
This fellow admin is coming on awfully strong, for example saying “It's time for you to drop the stick and back away” on my own talk page.
User talk:FriendlyRiverOtter —> MEDRS
And all of this started from speech and advocacy on Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019, not from actual edits on the article page.
Look, I’m used to sports sites and think of myself as a cool customer. I try not to make jabs at fellow participants. Realistically, I probably do from time to time, but I don’t want to.
Any help you can give would be most appreciated. Thank you for your consideration of this request. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 19:43, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

I understand 100% that people are busy and have to choose their own projects. I’m going to start a discussion on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 13:15, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- @FriendlyRiverOtter: thanks. It's been a bit insane recently, and now my root canal is flaring up for the 2nd time in two weeks, oh joy. Doug Weller talk 13:17, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, been there, done that, no fun!
Please be sweet to yourself and we look forward to having you back as you heal up. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Ds/notice on Bitchute
Hi, observed your Ds/talk notice on Talk:BitChute topic ab and while I am totally in support of a Ds/talk notice on the article I am concerned the ab topic seems contrived, possibly to the extent I find it inappropriate. I can appreciate the likely problem is no Ds topic really covers the problem area but shoehorning one to fit may also be a problem. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:13, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Djm-leighpark: if you look at my edit summary it says "AP discretionary sanctions". ab was a typo in the notice and I've correct it. Thanks for pointing it out, but I wasn't trying to shoehorn anything. Doug Weller talk 14:19, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ok... no problems and thanks for the correction which seem perfectly ok for me. Simple typo as and I understand that as I am the king of typos. Nice thing is correctly quickly. Thanks. Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Fringe theory maps being pushed
I wonder if you remember a problem that was reported about a month ago: Several wikis being flooded with a map based on a study by Yuan et al. 2019 claiming a scientific revolution in racial anthropology, but not even peer reviewed. I have a vague idea that you were involved, but I may be completely mistaken. These days there are three maps claiming to represent the distribution of Mongoloid, Negroid and Caucasoid races. They were inserted into many wikis (among them Persian, French, Yakut language), but not into English WP. I informed administrator Hiàn of the simple English wiki (here), who in turn started a deletion discussion (here). Rsk6400 (talk) 09:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Possible sock IPs making somewhat familiar edits
Two very similar-looking IPs have begun to make edits somewhat similar to those of earlier (new-blocked) IPs that were socks (ultimately I believe) of User:WorldCreaterFighter to pages related to y-haplogroup D and South Asian genetics (and Turkic-related topics). User:5.188.0.140 has been making edits to pages related to y-haplogroup D (one of which appeared to be WP:OR) and User:5.188.0.144 has made a somewhat suspicious edit to the Peopling of India page (removing information removed by similar IP socks before, and misleadingly, perhaps desceptively, describing their edit as correcting "typos/grammar"- see here: [[1]]) which I reverted. Thank you. The two IPs' histories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/5.188.0.140 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/5.188.0.144 Skllagyook (talk)
- Skllagyook, I'm afraid I can't see enough to do anything. Sorry, maybe time will tell. Doug Weller talk 14:35, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Doug. I found some repetition on the Climate change page recently, but I guess I will have to wait until I can edit it out? Knucmo2 (talk) 18:41, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Knucmo2: I'm not sure why. Doug Weller talk 19:10, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
FYI
That anonymous user (IP-hopper) on Mal'ta–Buret' culture is Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Tirgil34. Please see User_talk:Krakkos#Block_evasion_and_IP-hopping_by_LTA_case and this. Now he uses that IP-range for block evasion. --Wario-Man (talk) 03:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- And if you take a look at that long-term abuse page, you can see that among his interests is Presenting ancient Turkic peoples as "Turanid", blond blue eyed, and "Europoid-Mongoloid". Both "blue eyes" and "Mongoloid" were in the edit you reverted. Rsk6400 (talk) 10:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Wario-Man and Rsk6400: thanks, great information. Doug Weller talk 17:54, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Amhara pages vandal
Dear Doug, can you please do something about User:Jai_selassié? He is repeatedly vandalizing Amhara Region and Amhara people. I have warned him twice, but after a little rest he is back at it in full swing. Landroving Linguist (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Landroving Linguist: that account won't be making a nuisance anymore, but let me know if similar edits are made. Doug Weller talk 14:48, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Hamites intro biased
The definition of Hamites from the Wikipedia article Hamites clearly violates Wikipedia's NPOV. It uses loaded words such as 'Eurocentric' and 'white supremacists' which are irrelevant for the definition at hand and do not even represent truthfully the usage of the word in literature. I urge you to take action and protect neutrality and truthfulness of the article by reverting to my changes (which you have cancelled) or asking for a rewording, clarification and additional citations from the original editor. I have made only the necessary changes to restore neutrality while keeping the correct definition and also its broader context. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.254.193.214 (talk) 16:27, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
Climate change
Hello,
Thanks for your interest, and the generic templated message on my user page. Is there any specific point you may want to raise or discuss? Place Clichy (talk) 18:24, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
- I've explained on your talk page that it is not what we consider a generic template. It's for anyone who edits in the area. Doug Weller talk 18:33, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
