Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Paul Keating. Nick-D (talk) 10:25, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Simply pointing out the controversy surrounding his Chinese connections, such as being on the board of the China Development Bank. They seem relevant to judging his comments on AUKUS and other matters. The bullying removal of the discussion is what should lead to someone being blocked.

stats on pageview & other cool data stuff

Hello, since you asked about it here...

you can enable XTools; I like it a lot. In preferences, go to Gadgets tab> then Appearance, then check the box for XTools.

Note: FYI, I use "vector legacy 2010" skin, so I hope that doesn't interfere if you use default 2022 skin or whatever. ~~~~ skakEL 16:52, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

PS there were 3400 pageviews on the Helen Toner article in 9 days. 👍skakEL 16:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Doniago, and welcome to Wikipedia. I appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Mafia (party game), it appears that you added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 17:03, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

It wasn't original research. It was merely pointing out what is already noted in Wikipedia in the page Wink Murder: the existence of an earlier game of a similar format in which innocent players try to identify a hidden 'murderer' who is killing them. I was merely linking existing sourced information in a way that is ubiquitous in Wikipedia. Burraron (talk) 15:37, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
That's called synthesis, unless you can provide a source that has linked the two games. DonIago (talk) 16:46, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
I'm fine with it as a "See also" link, though. DonIago (talk) 16:50, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
I disagree. Only one source was referenced and no novel conclusion was drawn. I think it would be better if qualified admin did what you are trying to do. Burraron (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
You're certainly welcome to start a discussion at the article's Talk page. DonIago (talk) 18:32, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
