Regarding your comment
Very strange for you to come onto my page randomly because I complained to another user about disrespectful comments being made towards me. Have you considered that Alexbrn had just accused me of stalking prior to my comment about the disrespect, or that he had falsely accused me of being a meat puppet, or that he had told me to piss off? Its important to avoid selective enforcement. Thank you. Gsonnenf (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- Gsonnenf, he accused you of stalking because you were stalking him. Commenting on past punishments/etc is not acceptable behavior on Wikipedia. You were accused of being a meat puppet because it is very strange that you keep randomly showing up to edit in controversial areas without editing in between, and you seem to have a very good understanding of Wikipedia policies, that would not be expected of a "new" editor. You're free to report Alexbrn to administrators if you feel that "piss off" is a violation of policy, but note that as you already know, your edits will be scrutinized as well, and that harassment/stalking is a much more serious offense than one "piss off" comment. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 19:13, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- It is totally clear I was NOT stalking him. It is totally clear that I am not a meat puppet. You assessment of these is completely wrong. And its totally clear that if you have a suspicion of these things that you should take them to dispute resolution and not harass people. Just as it is inappropriate for him to make false baseless accusations, it is also inappropriate for you to make the same false baseless accusations. I have nothing further to say to you except to refrain from canvasing my page, and refrain from making false accusations at me. Gsonnenf (talk) 19:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Greetings
I respect you as a fellow medical professional and Wikipedia editor. As I have said to ToBeFree, I agree the topic of COVID-19 origins fall under WP:MEDRS, and while WHO team’s report is MEDRS, it does not include forensic or phylogenetic evidence. Scientists like Richard Ebright have called for a forensic investigation since May of last year [1]. David Relman in November [2]. Even Marc Lipsitch broke his silence [3]. We are now in controversy territory. Care is advised.
You seem to be advocating for administrators to use special provision of Wikipedia policy to place indiscriminate topic bans, in WP:AN [4] and WP:MEDICINE [5]. You are not the only medical professional on Wikipedia and it behooves you to discuss MEDRS with us in good faith instead of accusing us of disruption and advocating for topic bans where they are not due. The WHO is not a cathedral and science is not a religion. The WHO can make retractions and addendums as with any MEDRS, and if they didn’t ever do they, they wouldn’t be a MEDRS. The WHO DG’s remarks are clearly an addendum to the WHO team’s report, acknowledging its faults.
You and I probably agree on most things, but If we disagree that the WHO team’s report can be read without the WHO DG’s remarks, then we can go to an RFC. I will assure that a representative from the WHO participates in the RFC, as per [6]. Feel free to email me. CutePeach (talk) 16:47, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
How to construct RFCs
Hi, I have a question about a comment you made at the RS noticeboard: "I think it was unhelpful to start this RfC before crafting it in such a way that it not only can be discussed adequately, but can be controlled and useful."
How does one construct an RFC in such a way that it can be controlled and useful? Based on what I've seen at Wikipedia, if involved editors are determined to dominate a RFC that can't be prevented, because there is no way to control who comments in what sections of a page. I think that outcome was likely inevitable in the current RFC no matter what way Ferahgo the Assassin chose to structure it. But I could be wrong. If there is a way to construct an RFC so that outcome can be prevented, I'd like to understand it. --AndewNguyen (talk) 11:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
Please also see [7]. Whenever you have the time, your input there would be valuable. --AndewNguyen (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
