Muboshgu, based on your recent edit here I thought you may be interested in my question at NPOVN . Thanks. Springee (talk) 14:53, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
stop reverting my edit, yall love to see kanye suffer.
always trying to paint him in the worst light possible. i made that picture so people could see that it everything about kanye isn’t always a tmz misinformation campaign.
why would you rather have an edit about slamming his lyrics rather than an edit explaining what the lyric was instead of being rude and calling it “nonsensical”
also again, trying to paint him in a bad light. trump wasn’t a good president at all. so why make it seem like he never went back on his word after supporting a bad dude? setting kanye up for failure time and time again.
put my shit back or i’ll do it myself Nickiandyeoutsold (talk) 00:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

The content that I duplication in the Rand Paul article was an accident and I did not know I duplicated anything until I looked back at the edit I made. X-Editor (talk) 06:39, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Muboshgu. Hope this note finds you well. Regarding the above linked redirect, which you created a good while ago, it seems to me to have stemmed from an erroneous reference to a "Lefty Grove Award" on the Ed Cheff article when I believe the Lefty Gomez Award was meant to be referenced instead, per . I've updated the Cheff article accordingly. I considered RFD'ing the redirect in addition since I know of no "Lefty Grove Award" (at least not from ABCA) and suspect the redirect may have been created based upon the inadvertently incorrect reference to Grove, but wanted to stop by as a courtesy instead, as your baseball chops seem pretty credible. Is there a correct reference to a Lefty Grove Award that you know of and that I am missing (which is certainly not outside the realm of possibility)? If not, and if there is no utility to this now-orphaned redirect, it might be most efficient just to G7 it. But I obviously leave that call to you as its creator. Thanks.

Hi Muboshgu
I edited Patty Kuderer's page, because she does have these scandals. She is a local politician in Washington state, and these citations are neutral in nature. They simply lay out the complaints lodged against her, documented lies she's told, and shown laws she's broken. The purpose of these edits was to make voters aware of the issues against her, so they can make informed decisions when they vote. Patty has been trying very hard to suppress this information, as she's up for re-election this year, and has frequently tried dirty tricks to employ that hiding. If you could revert my changes, I'd greatly appreciate it. Have a good day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:3004:702:4F80:0:0:0:1430 (talk) 17:06, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for giving me the "autopatrolled" permission - I appreciate it very much! Have a good day. - Griggorio2 (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Dear Muboshgu,
You responded to my request to unprotect the Project Veritas article. You responded with: "So discuss it at Talk: Project Veritas". This was precisely my intention, not to go edit the page "all willy nilly". As you have probably guessed, I'm a newly registered user of Wikipedia, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that 'Talk: Project Veritas' itself is protected from new questions (yes I've read the FAQ). Is this correct? If so, do you know why it is protected? To prevent a stream of "internet trolls" poluting the Talk page?
In any case: I wanted to unprotect the Talk page itself. If I go to Talk: Project Veritas, and go to 'Click here to start a new topic', I get a Permission Error, stating "You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: This page is currently semi-protected so that only established, registered users can edit it." Does this mean I can only add to the discussion when I'm "an established user" (4 days, 10 edits I believe)? Voiceofstem (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Local news,
this was WP:SNOW closed on 1 February,
Impact is limited to one state in one country,
I thought the agreed consensus for the previous nomination of this event was clearly opposed to posting the blurb?,
Parochial story, and
Until they cross a line of actually harming others (eg as in Jan 6)clearly fail to note ITN guidelines to not oppose an item as only relating to one location or none at all, doesn't recognize that WP:CCC, and seems to imply that the WP:MINIMUMDEATH threshold for posting isn't met. Support votes were far more convincing. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:17, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
I thought the agreed consensus for the previous nomination of this event was clearly opposed to posting the blurb?, which is appropriate to dismiss under WP:CCC (although the short period of time since that consensus would suggest it should be given some weight), your reasons for dismissing don't appear to appropriate.
this was WP:SNOW closed on 1 February, pointing out that it was not based entirely on a previous consensus but on the editors assessment that the significance of the event had not changed. Regarding
Local news,
Parochial story, etc, I believe your close was in error. As I said previously, WP:ITSLOCAL relates to notability, not ITN significance, and
oppose an item because the event is only relating to a single countrydiscusses countries, while the opposes based on it being local news were due to it only being significant to a single city. Further, the "please do not" section is an information page, not a policy or guideline, so it is inappropriate to assess the weight of !votes on the basis of it, as it would be inappropriate to assess them based on an essay.

Why is the edit to Isra Hirsi suddenly a problem? I had it up for 3 days - it was until I suddenly wrote that body paragraph that triggered you. The same thing applies to former Virginia state delegate Lee Carter. He called himself a communist on Twitter, and it's up on Wikipedia with no problem/ It's verifiable - and there's no denying that she's called herself a communist.
You say you like to spread the truth in your Wikipedia account, but it's clear that you like to hide the truth when it helps the left. Or are you going to edit Carter's page too and hide the facts?

When asked if their country should defend a fellow NATO ally against a potential attack from Russia, a median of 50% across 16 NATO member states say their country should not defend an ally, compared with 38% who say their country should defend an ally against a Russian attack.It's Pew Research, not NATO for one. It isn't OR/SYNTH, because it's directly supported by the source, though that line could use some copy editing. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:34, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Muboshgu, I just saw your protection at WP:NSPORTS and wanted to get on the same page (cc Liz). I warned both Avilich and Nfitz about edit warring. About 15 minutes after I warned them, and simultaneous with acknowledging the warning. Nfitz reverted again. I p-blocked as a clear violation of edit warring, but it seems moot now given the protection. How should we move forward here? — Wug·a·po·des 22:11, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Mobushgu, was this edit made on the correct page? I'm a bit confused because you've responded to an edit request with a comment about unprotecting and p-blocks which is not what's being requested there. I don't expect you to be the one to restore the pre-edit-warring version but I was surprised to see you actively oppose it. –dlthewave ☎ 02:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Muboshgu! I see you reverted the edition I made to the Will Smith page and I dont have a problem with that at all, because after I wrote about the incident, I noticed that it was already written about in another area of the page. One thing about you tube videos, though: sometimes they are the only source we have about an incident (for example, something that happened during a particular boxing fight) so, depending on the incident, it might be appropriate to use You Tube as a source or not (I mean, they do bare, and might actually be the only, witness sometimes to important happenings, specially on minor but important events such as a sports event)

I’ve now edited twice and been twice denied. The issue is the country of birth and early childhood history of Bobby Dalbec. A good portion of New England, and I, heard two NESN announcers discuss the facts during a spring training game this year. NESN is wholly owned by the Red Sox. I included the particulars stated, that he and his older sister were adopted in South Korea when Bobby was 5 mos. old. If I included Seoul as the City he was adopted in, I assure you it’s as correct. I’m not certain at this point. I suspect the birthdate given, and putting “Seattle” next to it is misleading. In my first attempt, I included the names of his noble parents - I’ll cite Wiki for that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Epoch_Times_pov_warrior Seriously, that was exactly my point, the quotes you copied do not explicitly say that ET says Qanon is true. They say implicit things in the hope the reader would think that. They say "conspiracies related to Qanon", but it doesn't have to do with Qanon. e.g. so many news outlets today talk about Hunter Biden's international ties, is that Qanon?! This is exactly a hit piece, were you make the reader understand what you want them to, without being open to libel.
This especially blows my mind, because I had been a reader of ET for many months before I ever knew anything about Qanon, they just never talked about it, nor any other news I followed. I think the first time I ever heard about that was two years ago when I happened to come across the ET article on wikipedia. Then when I found out what it was, it's quite easy to realise it was some sort of fake news or even psy-op, in this case used as a strawman.

Hi there, I decided to keep this away from others on ITN and write it here. I really don’t agree with your comment that there was a breach of neutrality in my closing. The nominator has come up with arguments that administrators engage in vote-counting and simultaneously post a blurb along with an ongoing item for the same story, which are valid points of discussion and contradict some of our basic principles. I never get influenced by the number of oppose votes and give weight on individual opinions if possible. In this case, the nominator presented valid arguments in the wrong place and in the wrong way, so my closing statement wasn’t merely a “consensus-will-not-develop-to-post” summary but also a guide on what to do with those arguments. Best regards.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 10:26, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

The text that is being reduced isn't already small due to the infobox, so small is allowed. And the use of small here was after a significant discussion, (Phi Gamma Delta's policy on letters is fairly unique among GLOs and so the use of Phi Gamma Delta letters vs. FIJI were both placed there.Naraht (talk) 12:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

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. Spanneraol (talk) 18:58, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi M, could you look into semi-protecting Freddie Freeman? The article has been subject to a lot of recent edit warring against WP consensus primarily by IPs over adding his Canadian citizenship to the lead. See User talk:JDDJS#Nationality, not citizenship for further information. I'm considering adding some version of that discussion to Freddie's article talk page in a few days so there's a central place to discuss this. Also, is there an established consensus either way at WP:BASEBALL on this issue? I wouldn't doubt it's come up before in some way. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 19:09, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
In a recent edit about Nikola Tesla, I undid your edit, my reason was unclear, sorry I didn't provide a more detailed reason. Manhattan may be well known to Americans, but perhaps not to people in other countries, and New York City is a much better known location, so I thought it would make more sense to write about it.

Hello, Muboshgu,
Thank you for creating José Herrera (catcher).
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
This article needs more references in order to provide significant coverage for this article. See WP:SIGCOV
References that have scores, lists, order of merit and video do not pass as reliable sources for WP:NSPORT. (There have been changes to the notability guide for sports - you may wish to read WP:NSPORT ) To meet notability requirements, one more reference with significant coverage are needful.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}
. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
Whiteguru (talk) 06:53, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
Muboshgu,
You recently undid several edits that I made to the Mark Robinson page. I would like for you to rethink these.
Overall, the page is clearly against Wikipedia standards of objectivity as it currently stands. Further, my additions were certainly unbiased - including statements such as that he formed the F.A.C.T.S. task force (without even including findings that could be controversial), that he is pro gun rights, and that he is pro parental rights. All of the additions were cited as well.
Given the current bias skew, these 3-4 sentences certainly offer just a little context to the discussion without even changing the general negative view that is being portrayed. So, I'm not sure how you can continue to object.
Please reconsider - I believe that I found a more than fair compromise.

hi! re: "it's not 2024 or 2045 yet so what's the point of this?" I think it's relevant because it is important climate policy (like, a lot of carbon emissions are at stake) and also in terms of how Newsom is perceived. The policy has been a significant topic of discussion (see https://fox5sandiego.com/news/local-news/city-council-votes-to-urge-newsom-to-end-fossil-fuel-permitting/ or https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/09/24/opinion-recall-may-be-over-but-climate-crisis-is-not-a-youth-perspective/) Zaelzo (talk) 04:41, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I am reaching out for guidance. I am doing the Central and Eastern Europe contest. I worked on the Graudenz page last night. I woke up and many things had been deleted/reverted including citations and facts that were not added by me. I re-did them manually and left a note on the person's talk page. That's when I noticed that many people on the talk page are complainig that the user has deleted their cited work.
If you search for the word "deleted", you'll see there are about 4-5 talk messages about content being deleted by Merangs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Merangs#Really,
I'm still new to Wiki so I looked around and found the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/
I submitted a new discussion, but now I can't find it there. I also left another note on the user's wall about the submitting them to the Admin noticeboard for review. The noticeboard said to reach out to an admin if possible. This is my first time doing anything like this, so any help is apprecaited. It seems like this person is deleting cited facts and not contributing to the cooperativeness of Wikipedia. If you see, sometimes people ask why the content was deleted and they reply "I do not recall" or they do not reply at all...
Any guidance is apprecaited. Maybe I'm wrong and the deletions/reversions are correct, but I'm pretty sure they aren't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTypingKat (talk • contribs) 12:35, May 17, 2022 (UTC)
Hi Muboshgu, I'm M and I work with Minute Media. I noticed you had done a lot of work on the Derek Jeter page (which looks great!) and was wondering if you'd be interested in the request I made at The Players' Tribune page since Jeter founded it? I did my best to make sure the requests are backed by reliable sourcing and are neutral in tone, especially with the advertising tag on the article. I've tried several other editors and WikiProjects but received no responses. I won't make any changes due to my conflict of interest, so I'd really appreciate the help!
