...easily manipulated by a small number of disgruntled trolls
. Not just trolls either. There are too many vindictive and abusive users out there including Arbcom members themselves, who will blow a case up out of all proportion by taking things cleverly out of context as if butter wouldn't melt in their mouths, and the result is a desysoping.

October thanks
Thank you for improving articles in October! - Today: see yourself, read about a hymn praying to not be on earth in vain, about a comics artist whose characters have character (another collaboration of the "perennial gang", broken by one of us banned - as if blocked wasn't enough), and in memory of the last prima donna assoluta, Edita Gruberová. I had to go to two grave sites last week, one who died now, one who died 10 years ago, so standing upright and in black seems appropriate. More colours - but subdued - can be had on hikes, - click on songs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:23, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Hey, just popping by to say I finally replied on the talk page. Been super busy lately, sorry. Iamnotabunny (talk) 00:53, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Prabook as source at John Misha Petkevich
Hi Montanabw, I removed Prabook as a source because it’s completely user generated, and isn’t a reliable source per WP:USERGENERATED. While a self-published source would be acceptable for basic biographical details, Prabook isn’t self-published, it’s an openly editable wiki with no editorial standards or reviews, so it isn’t acceptable for any information at all. It’s been discussed a few times at WP:RSN. Would you consider undoing the revert? Thanks, Politanvm talk 04:31, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- So @Politanvm: what you are saying is that while Facebook or LinkedIn would be ok for basic bio details, Prabook is more like WP itself in that anyone can edit, and that’s why it is viewed as unacceptable? Montanabw(talk) 15:22, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that’s right. Facebook or LinkedIn is fine for WP:ABOUTSELF types of things, but Prabook is completely open. There’s a bit more about it on the founder’s Wikipedia article. It’s a combination of scraped information from other public sources and unverified edits by users. Politanvm talk 15:38, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
DYK for Earl Old Person
On 12 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Earl Old Person, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Earl Old Person, lifetime honorary Chief of the Blackfeet Nation, inadvertently broke a 1000-year tradition in 1971 when he asked the Shah of Iran to stand up? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Earl Old Person. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Earl Old Person), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Just found this at CAT:CSD tagged with {{db-animal}}
. I added a source specifically about Danetime, but I don't know much about horses. As you do, could you take a look and see if the article can be expanded? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
