Why Are You Blocking Corrections to the "J.D. Vance" Article's Lies?[edit]

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:J._D._Vance#Is_J.D._Vance_an_Antisemite.3F PeaRidge62 (talk) 00:16, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

The new citation you added to the page does not prove J.D. Vance to be "antisemitic." All he's saying is that Jews who really care about Israel should vote for Donald Trump. I disagree with him just as much as I'm sure you do, but that does not make him "antisemitic" in the least. Please look up the actual definition of the word.

It is standard procedure here that after edit warring, the protection of a page can be changed to prevent further edit warring and the page gets reverted to it pre-edit war state. I changed the protection to last for 3 days. In the meantime, you can still make your case on the talk page that he is not antisemitic or that the citations given are insufficient.

Collapse problem[edit]

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Uyghur_genocide

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I collapse a piece of text, I end up taking the whole page along. I literally copy-pasted the code from someone else on that page... Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 11:18, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the problem is. The page looks fine as it is now. Some templates conflict with others when nested. Bongolian (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
I saw that Geejay already fixed it. Arcadium Trancefer (talk) 17:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey[edit]

Thanks for giving me my sysop status back. I’ll avoid using the categories of racists and fascists now, I know I sometimes overused them in the past. But I’ll get to editing now and use them wisely. Rational Dude (talk) 17:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome, but it was not just me. It required the vote of the mob. Bongolian (talk) 17:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
I know, but you still helped :) Rational Dude (talk) 17:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Two spam accounts just registered[edit]

The two spam accounts of KetonaraIngredients‎ and BuyKetozenseACV‎ just registered as RationalWiki editors. Jurisdicta (talk) 18:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Dealt with. But for future reference, you don't need to alert mods of spam accounts, we have enough sysops who will take care of the issue on their own. Plutocow (talk) 18:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Excuse me?[edit]

I've been lurking for a while but this is my only account. I just got tired of cringing after seeing "pwned" linked everywhere, with the last straw being someone adding a link to it back to a page today. Hell, even in the talkpage for the "article", you can see the editors even ten years ago wanted nothing to do with that article and was only moved to funspace because people were too lazy to AfD it. I don't see who I'm being accused of being a return of? Summer1109 (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

There was very similar behavior last night by User:Joe Smith. It is was consequently suspicious that the first edits you made were also for an AfD.[1] Traditionally, there is substantially more leniency about the content of Funspace articles. I've removed you from the vandal bin. Try making a few contributions first before doing the AfD again.[2] Bongolian (talk) 20:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
The problem is it's linked to from many mainspace pages so it's not just a funspace issue. As for the other guy, just because a vandal used AfDs doesn't mean every AfD is vandalism. Vote against the AfD if you wish, but I feel I have presented a legitimate case that deserves to be heard. Summer1109 (talk) 20:53, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Take out the links then. It's part of RW's history. Scream!! (talk) 21:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

About categories[edit]

Am I allowed to add categories for anything not relating to fascism? I have been avoiding using that category on drafts unless I find proper sources that justify the category. Rational Dude (talk) 02:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I think it's fine to add whatever categories you think appropriate on draft articles as comments or as draft categories. If you want to move it to mainspace at some point, just make sure another editor has reviewed the categories. Thanks. Bongolian (talk) 02:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Am I allowed to add categories to mainspace pages though? Rational Dude (talk) 11:52, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
You're still under active sanctions for that (RationalWiki:Active sanctions#Topic bans), so no. You would have to win an appeal for that privilege to be restored in the moderator noticeboard (RationalWiki talk:All things in moderation). Bongolian (talk) 14:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Alright. How much longer should I wait until I’m allowed to appeal? Rational Dude (talk) 19:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
There is no set time for how long to wait, but it's been over a year so that seems more than a reasonable length of time. In your appeal, give an explanation for why you think the sanction should be removed, and you might want to cite any draft space pages that would support your case. Bongolian (talk) 19:37, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Of course, I will. Thank you. Rational Dude (talk) 04:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Vote[edit]

Can you please start the vote this time? I tried doing it, but I have no clue how to start it, and I don’t want to make a mess on the page. Rational Dude (talk) 19:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
