Dear sir- I am writing as a new wiki editor because I have added important, cited details to above mentioned page but there has been someone vandalized many people's comments on this page called an editor ScrapIronIV. Sir, I suggest you please allow the news of the award won by R. Shankar and P. Chabira for Muse India Translation Award on page as it is major award for translation of goddess Andal. Also, magazine started by R. Shankar very influential. I suggest to suspend ScrapIron IV privilegs as he continues to make false changes to page and not respect satya. Thank you.

On a very related note, after my massive cleanup at Subrahmanya Saastri, (look at the edit summaries, if you are seeking reasons) an article created by you, there's not a single non-offline source linked as a reference.All that remained were 4 offline sources .Out of those four, I have persoanlly verified that 2 of them don't support the statements they were affixed next to and don't even mention the name of the subject.I would thus request you to kindly upload the images of the pages of Osborne's books that you have used as a reference in the article in some image-sharing-sites like Imgur etc. and bring the upload links to my t/p for a proper verification or use the Special:EmailUser function to mail the images to me. Sans any cooperation from you in this regard within a reasonable time, I will be compelled to look at alternatives like draftification, deletion et al.Winged Blades ^Godric 09:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback on my draft, Draft:Evan Goldstein. Just wanted to get some added clarification on what you think the priorities items should be. It sounds like it was an issue of sources in the first part of your note, but you also commented on the language. Do you think the latter needs some tweaking? It may be a little robotic, I was just trying to mimic the language of some other doctor pages I found. Thanks!

• First of all, I will be analyzing the sources:--

On the basis of the above 2.5 ticks, I'm not convinced that the subject passes

WP:RS

and covers the subject non-trivially in a subjective fashion.

Lines like He has stated that his motivations are to focus on the mostly underserved surgical needs of the gay community and He offers additional support for the..... looks typical subject-promotion material and imparts a resume-like tone which is completely unsuitable for an encyclopedic article.

I hope this helps:)Winged Blades ^Godric 16:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Winged Blades: Thank you for sharing those details on the sources and language. I was trying to provide some context on Dr. Goldstein himself, but I agree, it may be too trivial for inclusion. I'll look for some new sources that seem less promotional... perhaps a medical journal or some other citation on the surgeries he's engineered.

@Cougarsurf:-Definitely agree.And you are putting your efforts in a very good direction.If you need any help as to any on-wiki-aspect, feel free to ask me.As a side-note, at the end of any post in any talk-page, please put ~~~~ which will automatically sign your post.Regards:)Winged Blades ^Godric 06:15, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I've made some edits to my draft based on your feedback. I found a few useful medical journals, made some changes to the language to be more encyclopedic and deleted the sources I believe you marked as irrelevant or less credible. If you could, would you mind taking a look? Thanks! ~~~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cougarsurf (talk • contribs) 18:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- but just to put the record straight, my comments are generally as careful as a lawyer's, while all the time still being capable of a clean sense of humour. I'm neither a deletionist nor an inclusionist, and I just use the tools that the community wanted to give me. I would hesitate to brand any particular individual of being either (that would not be good faith), unless of course they need to be warned for a tendentious spree of either mass passing articles at NPP as OK that have no place at all on Wikipedia, or mass placing deletion tags on perfectly acceptable pages. But I do believe it to be perfectly acceptable to point out that something is a not policy when it it isn't - I learned a lot here through people putting me right on things I had misuderstood.
I never mind it being pointed out if I make the occasional rare error amongst the thousands of articles I have kept or deleted. Indeed, AFAIK, I don't think I've ever had a deletion overturned and my AfD score tends on the high side. Nowt to be particularly proud of though, it's all in a day's work for an admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As to the epicenter that led to your comment, I don't think that Necrothesp's AN thread was any ill-deserved, esp. in light of the t/p thread on Drmies'.And the starter of the thread (Sitush) is a quite experienced-pedian, not some fly-by deletionist.

On a side-note, I always welcome differing views and my AFD-history will show you that I always have an ear for opposing !voters and tend to assume a high amount of good-faith but I frankly don't admire personalities too stubborn and/or too irrational to ever change their opinion and having voices so loud so as to effectively prevent himself from listening to others.My net experience with N is that there's no point in engaging with him.Every of his alternate reply could be reasonably construed as:--Schools are kept and will be kept. Nothing more. And, I have never ever seen him to even take an attempt at providing any sources at any AFD.It is only very recently that this essay popped out!

And that's the primary difference I note between N and other folks like DGG/you taking the same line.

On an aside, I personally prefer to refrain from branding editors under any category and my comment was largely in response to your highly-visible anti-promo efforts etc.

On a lighter note, AFDstats show me to be more of a deletionist than you but I tend to get the outcomes more correctly:)~ Winged Blades^Godric 15:52, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Facto Post – Issue 9 – 5 February 2018 m:Grants:Project/ScienceSource is the new ContentMine proposal: please take a look. Wikidata as Hub One way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the linked structured data , and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites. Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Wikipedia terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8. Wikipedia:External links speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The Wikidata Resolver tool, these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The hub tool by maxlath takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL.

The G11 was good. If they want the prose back, I can email it to them. I don't restore G11 text to user space or draft space. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Snathcb - I'm sorry if you perceived our exchange was a guarantee by me your article would pass AfC. After I declined your article creation request you asked me "If there are specific citations that you suggest I replace, I will" to which I replied with specific recommendations for improving sourcing (your question to me). This was the starting and ending point for our discussion: I provided you advice in response to your question about improving specific sources and, having done that I said the sourcing issue was "in good shape, however, if you don't mind I'll ask a different person to review it".

In light of this current discussion, I believe you may have thought I had just given you holistic article creation advice, or that our subsequent exchange had begun to evolve into an individualized article development session, instead of me simply continuing to respond to your specific question about source improvement. I also now believe you may have thought that when I said another editor should "review it" that I was actually signaling to you "approve it" or that AfC review was a rubber-stamp process. I apologize for not anticipating the different ways you might have perceived that. In the last exchange we had you asked me "will it be reviewed in the regular queue or on priority" and I told you I was unaware that anything like a priority queue existed. However, in re-reading that now, I should have realized you might have believed that, by posting on my Talk page, you had contacted an editing service and I should have done a better job identifying and correcting this misperception.

I'm afraid I don't remember anything about the content of your article by which I would be useful in answering additional questions about other issues it may have had beyond the specific question you posed to me about sourcing. I've declined hundreds of articles so understand this is nothing personal but just the reality that I don't commit any of them to memory or store copies offline by which I could reference them in the future. I also have not reviewed or edited

ReNew Power, so I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that article by which I could comment on it. Chetsford (talk) 17:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply

Hi Winged: I agree that it wasn't a "personal attack". However I also don't think it was accurate. User:BTZorbas isn't a "single-purpose account", just a user who appears to be interested in set theory and set theorists. I think most of us got started in one particular area of interest. I haven't loved all of his/her contributions or mode of interaction with other editors, but I see no clear evidence that they are "promotional" or "soapboxing". I should say that Todorcevic helped sponsor me for a one-year postdoc in Toronto. That was quite some time ago and I do not think it influences my judgment on this matter. --Trovatore (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trovatore:--I seem to think that it do influence your judgement.COI editors with the sole intention to promote someone.....Sigh......Sigh....~ Winged Blades^Godric 09:58, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I believe you are incorrect. My association with Todorcevic was relatively modest; I mentioned it only for full transparency. I have no project to promote him. My set-theory edits (and my own work in set theory) are generally in areas rather different from the subjects most closely associated with Todorcevic.

As for BTZorbas, I do not see any special focus on Todorcevic in his edits I'm going to use masculine pronouns for convenience; I don't actually know whether BTZorbas is male or female. His contributions show an interest in a considerable range of different set theorists and their work. --Trovatore (talk) 19:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I think that this page should not be deleted because Rosa Berardo is a well known and respected movie maker and photographer in Brazil. Her pioneer work on movies in Goiás State, central Brazil, is a mark of woman in cinema. She's the first woman in Goiás State to produce and direct a film in the latest 1989. Her film Andre Louco, is considered the first professional film made in the State of Goiás and is mentioned at the Brazilian film Dictionary written by Antonio Leão da Silva Neto, Edições Loyola, 2006.

From the point of view of gender and feminism studies, Rosa Berardo is an important character and inspiring source fro Brazilian woman. She also has created the firs Cinema and Film Studies School in her state, Goiás, in the your 2000. There were any film school in the capital of the State, Goiania, neither in the State in general, so no movie makers to represent the local culture in a film made by local people. The school has forme about 30 new film makers that actually represent the state in many nacional and international film festivals . She's considered as the Mother of Goiás State film production.

her name has an important whole in last and actual Brazilian film history as the possibility of self representation in cinema in Brazilian communities and states as Goiás, that are not in the main production front line as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. It is very very important for a democratic use of cinema as a mean of communication. So woman and local cultures are represented by Rosa Berardo as a piopneer the has gone trough all kind of prejudices and machism against woman to have her place as the first woman to work in films in very import and big region of the country, the Central Region of Brazil.

Hope those arguments are enough to highlight the importance for Brazilians to have her name in Wikipedia as a symbol of work, dedication and pioneer in feminist films .

Libertad (Philip Morris front) AfD closure

Hi Winged Blades of Godric, I noticed you recently closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Libertad (Philip Morris front) as Merge per consensus to Philip Morris (tobacconist). No issues with the merge closure, however, I think the merge to page was intended to be to the company (either Philip Morris International or Philip Morris USA) rather than to the tobacconist whose death predates the founding of the company.

@Athaenara: Wikimedia received an email from a new editor concerned about the removal of a sandbox: User:Feroz3/sandbox

I'm about to respond that they should be talking to either the editor who nominated it for deletion or the administrator who carried out the deletion.

I'm writing to you, partly as a heads up that this query may be coming but also partly in puzzlement that the rationale included CSD U5. Please note that I am not contesting the deletion, as the rationale also included G 11, but it's my experience that while we suggest that draft space is a great place to start articles, it is been long practice that I personal sandbox is an acceptable place to start an article, so it doesn't seem to me that this qualifies as U5.

Hello ~ Winged Blades^Godric . I just received a notification about your comment. There are basically 5 different national major newspapers' full page articles quoted, and a number of academic articles which discuss 'the work of the subject'. So I am confused what other sources are needed please for verifying and notability. The "tone reading as advertisement" can be corrected, but regarding the referencing it is puzzling. Similar pages on artists are exactly the same on Wikipedia. For example this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golnaz_Fathi if you could kindly give an advice how to re-organize the sources please, because there is no difference between them than say this page just mentioned.

Major national and international media (TV, Radio, Newspaper) which have carried full interviews and published articles about the works include:

Radio Free Europe (from Paris), Voice of America TV station (from Paris), Kayhan London (from London), Times of Malta, The Independent (Malta), The Guardian (UK), Xinhua (China), Radio Rossi, Main National Radio (Russia), NTV , Main national TV station (Russia), Lark News English Newspaper (Pakistan), International World Business Communicator (Pakistan), Prima Edicion (Argentina), Rahavard Journal of Iranian Studies (Los Angeles, U.S.A) ---for example the the article and interview on this very important quarterly journal is 8 pages long!! How is it possible to quote it on an encyclopedia?---This journal itself is part of the Iranian encyclopedia Iranica: http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/rahavard-persian-quarterly

So how should all these articles be quoted please? Thanks so much in advance Lidasher (talk) 16:41, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to help out by doing the detailed reading to adjudicate the merits of who has the more nearly neutral wording or who has the better sentence, please do.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).

Administrator changes

Lourdes†

AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V

† Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.

Guideline and policy news

• The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
• Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
• A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
• A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.

Technical news

• CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
• The edit filter has a new feature contains_all that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.

Miscellaneous

• Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.

Obituaries

• Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.

• i am film lover and as you mentioned i am not getting any form of remuneration (direct or indirect) from writing the articles on them, my happiness is only that i am sharing part of knowledge with world. and wanted to support 'for the people by the people' policy.
• Sorry but i am not doing it for remuneration that's the main problem, because of my edits may be someone will not able to earn the money, and there is possibility these agencies who takes charges for creating Wikipedia pages will contacted you to demotivate peoples like me who does it for interest, and instead of helping them the administrators like you will remove all the work person has did in past some years, and the thing is i learned Wikipedia editing just by watching others edits, and by seeing that articles i edited these, still there are so many articles like me are presented, delete it if possible so that at least they will get the knowledge how not to edit.
• I am Very Much Disappointed by fifth point you raised may be its correct by your point of view, but without any consideration someone is working and you are blaming him that you are working for money ??.
• i respect your contribution to Wikipedia, and my motive to come here on Wikipedia is share the knowledge and information with world.
• as i mentioned above i learned editing by watching others edits, its failure of the Wikipedia administrators (peoples) like you to keeping all that articles on Wikipedia still and the new comers like me will learn from them and get the deletion notice after long time of creation. let it be.

Thank you very much for much more spending time in spending on my edits ! and i am not going to appose any deletion notice given by you, indirectly i came to that conclusion instead to giving knowledge and spreading awareness that anyone can edit Wikipedia, the peoples like you are indirectly supporting to them who edit Wikipedia for money. and as you mentioned that previous administrator gave me the notice to revoke the access, the answer is he did not replied yet of my questions and the reasons which i asked him on his talk page.

(talk page watcher)Shrinivaskulkarni1388-First off Winged Blades of Godric is not an administrator, neither does he support (in fact he opposes) paid editing. I have certain advice for you which you must follow so that you become better at editing Wikipedia:

• Stop editing mainspace atleast for the time being
• Accept Titodutta's offer and read-up the linked pages in the comment on your talk page
• Untick the Treat the above as wiki markup. box in Special:Preferences

Finally try not to edit pages of subject to which you are close to as it has been proven by research that even if you are extremely careful you may end up writing what looks like a fan page to other people which may be thought of by other people as paid editing. Hope you have a smooth Wiki-journey from now on —

Facto Post – Issue 10 – 12 March 2018 Milestone for mix'n'match Around the time in February when Wikidata clicked past item Q50000000, another milestone was reached: the mix'n'match tool uploaded its 1000th dataset. Concisely defined by its author, Magnus Manske, it works "to match entries in external catalogs to Wikidata". The total number of entries is now well into eight figures, and more are constantly being added: a couple of new catalogs each day is normal. Since the end of 2013, mix'n'match has gradually come to play a significant part in adding statements to Wikidata. Particularly in areas with the flavour of digital humanities, but datasets can of course be about practically anything. There is a catalog on skyscrapers, and two on spiders. These days mix'n'match can be used in numerous modes, from the relaxed gamified click through a catalog looking for matches, with prompts, to the fantastically useful and often demanding search across all catalogs. I'll type that again: you can search 1000+ datasets from the simple box at the top right. The drop-down menu top left offers "creation candidates", Magnus's personal favourite. m:Mix'n'match/Manual for more. For the Wikidatan, a key point is that these matches, however carried out, add statements to Wikidata if, and naturally only if, there is a Wikidata property associated with the catalog.

Hi, I'd like to discuss the wording used in your edit to Y&R ANZ. In the "Controversy" section, you've written "given that many of the social media posts by GPYR were sexually and politically obscene". This is untrue and was fabricated by the original article's author. Can you please read the following articles (Article 1, Article 2) and revise the wording accordingly? Thanks. --Peacenik162 (talk) 21:54, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[53] Please explain why you believe that every member of one Wikiproject should be required to tell people in AFDs they participate in that they saw it listed in their Wikiproject, when none of the other many Wikiprojects on Wikipedia are required to do that. Dream Focus 04:15, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dream Focus: Please look up "should" and "must" in the dictionary and try to understand the difference. There appears to be a unanimous consensus among everyone except you and Andrew Davidson (both of whom are clearly upset that your weak arguments in the YPT AFD are not being taken seriously) that the amendment is an improvement and is in accordance with the project-wide canvassing guidelines.

Hi Let me introduce myself. I am Felix and I’m a novice in Wikipedia ! I wrote an article recently, it’s a biography of a french-american journalist : Laura Haim. Now, I’m waiting for validation from wikipedian reviewer. Would you be able to help me? I have no idea how long it could take… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Laura_Haim Many thanks for your help. Best

@Sitush:-Not much of a coherent idea but given the mess, reverting is always the best option.My edit-summary was wrong in the sense that he made some changes (transposing sections, copy-edits etc.) but heavily duplicated parts of the article from the article itself, probably in error.I will try to re-insert his edits, if any of them are helpful.~ Winged Blades^Godric 08:48, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hola oh Winged One!

You put a note on my talk page about having an interest (financial) in the article I was editing. I have an interest, it is not financial. I just kinda like Charlie the Tuna and some of the other iconic characters used in marketing. I confess I don't buy StarKist because it is too expensive. I buy either the Aldi brand canned tuna or BumbleBee. As I explained to Bri and put on the talk page, I really think Charlie, the Maytag dude and the Jolly Green Giant should maybe have their own section. Anyway, I just started this Wiki editing thing to pass time as I recovered from surgery and it is almost addicting. If you know any other pages that need help because they are flagged for having problems, let me know. I'm just stumbling around trying to make sad pages better. Speaking of better, wow your page is loaded with information and I am sure I will be back and use it as a reference if you don't mind.

Hi Godric, I usually don't ask people to chime in at AfD's I initiate, but today would be exception and I would like to draw your attention towards at least 3 Pakistan-related AfDs which I initiated (Amb Jogi, Iqbal Jogi and Google Tech Mela) and I'm seeking your genuine judgement over there because I believe all three AfDs have merely keep !votes rather than strong arguments. Thank you. --Saqib (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Saqib:--

Whilst I believe that I will be able to opiniate in a canvassed venue, without any bias, it's my principle that I rarely participate in any of such discussions, where I'm invited to, (unless in exceptional circumstances), on grounds of being labelled as a

canvassed participant

et al.

But, that being said, I'm going to prune the article-sourcing, so that there are no more !votes of the like So many sources.....How can anyone even think of deleting this?!.

And, I will be further keeping a watch on the progress of all the 3 AfDs.For the time being, there's nothing to worry about, for all the !votes are standard textbook cases of dis-countable arguments.Best,~ Winged Blades^Godric 16:24, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) I respect your principal, and as I said I too usually don't invite people to comment on AfDs involve me even when my own creations are nominated for deletion such as this. But lately I realised that people often throw keep !vote without providing any solid arguments and the articles resulted kept such as this one. Personally I'm a fan of the arguments made by you and @Johnpacklambert: on Pakistan related AfDs and therefore thought I let you know about these 3 canvassed AfDs and seek your genuine opinion. --Saqib (talk) 16:52, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As to my opinions:--

I'm a bit curious, as to why you did not tag Google Tech Mela for G11.It was clear-cut promo-spam and, I can't think of any of our most conservative sysops declining a tagging, which would have ended the hassle, a lot easily.Anyways, clear delete.

As to Amb Jogi, that's again a clear delete.

I'm still on the fence about Iqbal Jogi, given his reputation about the last master player for the instrument.I will try to dig up some sources about him, if feasible.~ Winged Blades^Godric 16:42, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I had not requested Google Tech Mela for the speedy deletion, probably due to the reason that it has some RS and was not unambiguous promotional. --Saqib (talk) 14:54, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That was unambiguously promotional. Many sysops are not comfortable deleting articles, which is at an AfD.PingingTonyBallioni, for his take on the CSD-ability of the article. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 15:39, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And, by the way, the de-tagger got his flag removed. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 15:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would have G11’d it, but it’s at AfD now with keep !votes so not eligible anymore. You can !vote to delete on those grounds though. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:52, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyBallioni: Unforutnately, a convassed AfD with biased votes. Many users who voted there, here and here never participated in AfDs before. --Saqib (talk) 16:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that there has been definitely some off-wiki canvassing, as to the AfDs, which has brought some near-inactive contributor(s).Anyways, after some discussion with other folks, I think your notification was sufficiently neutral, to be not held as a breach of our canvassing guidelines.Thus, I've recorded my !votes.Best,~ Winged Blades^Godric 04:26, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).

Administrator changes

331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG

Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando

Guideline and policy news

• Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
• Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
• The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
• The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.

Technical news

• There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.

Arbitration

• The Arbitration Committee
  WP:ARCA
  .

Miscellaneous

• A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
• The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.
