User talk:George Ho

An arbitration case regarding The Rambling man has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

1. The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)'s resignation as an administrator is to be considered under controversial circumstances, and so his administrator status may only be regained via a successful request for adminship.
2. The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) is prohibited from insulting and/or belittling other editors. If The Rambling Man finds himself tempted to engage in prohibited conduct, he is to disengage and either let the matter drop or refer it to another editor to resolve. If however, in the opinion of an uninvolved administrator, The Rambling Man does engage in prohibited conduct, he may be blocked for a duration consistent with the blocking policy. The first four blocks under this provision shall be arbitration enforcement actions and may only be reviewed or appealed at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. Should a fifth block prove necessary, the blocking administrator must notify the Arbitration Committee of the block via a Request for Clarification and Amendment so that the remedy may be reviewed. The enforcing administrator may also at their discretion fully protect The Rambling Man's talk page for the duration of the block.

   Nothing in this remedy prevents enforcement of policy by uninvolved administrators in the usual way.

3. The Rambling Man (talk · contribs) and George Ho (talk · contribs) are indefinitely prohibited from interacting with, or commenting on, each other anywhere on Wikipedia (subject to the ordinary exceptions).
4. George Ho (talk · contribs) is indefinitely restricted from participating in selecting main page content. For clarity, this means he may not participate in:

   1. Any process in which the content of the main page is selected, including Did you know?, In the news, On this day, Today's featured article, Today's featured list, and Today's featured picture.
   2. Any process in which possible problems with the content of the main page are reported, including WP:ERRORS and Talk:Main Page.
   3. Any discussion about the above processes, regardless of venue.

   He may edit articles linked from or eligible to be linked from the main page (e.g., the current featured article) and may participate in content review processes not directly connected to main page content selection (e.g., reviewing Featured article candidates). He may request reconsideration of this restriction twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every six months thereafter.

5. The community is encouraged to review the selection process for the Did you know and In the news sections of the main page. The community is also reminded that they may issue topic bans without the involvement of the Arbitration Committee if consensus shows a user has repeatedly submitted poor content, performed poor reviews, or otherwise disrupted these processes.

Hello,

I’m writing to remind you that as a result of the arbitration case that both you and The Rambling Man are prohibited from interacting with each other, barring the usual exceptions. Recently, you posted questions to the election pages of multiple candidates where you indirectly made reference to The Rambling Man. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) Please note that such comments are not permitted under the interaction ban and further instances will result in a block. Best regards, Mike V • Talk 22:59, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

I won't do that anymore for now, Mike. Shall I report this the next time it happens? Or can someone else do it? George Ho (talk) 23:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

If you are referring to a violation of the interaction ban, you can mention it another admin once. Otherwise, it would be best to avoid all discussion related to The Rambling Man. Mike V • Talk 23:55, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Shall I report his attempts to excuse himself to you, Mike? I felt unease when he made indirect references by saying "canvassing". I was prompted to ask questions when mentioned "canvassed". Is this his actions at the questions subpages excusable? George Ho (talk) 00:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

At this point, a warning has been made and I've encouraged him to leave things alone. I think that is sufficient for now. Mike V • Talk 00:26, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop a note that, as a result of extensive community discussion and numerous issues, the warning issued above has been overturned. Regards, The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 22:36, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Would you kindly explain why you think this article needs a GAR? There was no talk page notice, and you edit summary does not explain why you requested such. mftp dan ^oops 22:12, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

If you don't believe the article needs reassessment, then please feel free to remove the tag. The article contains info about the singer and the relative who wrote about her and is subject to WP:BLP. I was also hoping that the book itself and the book article aren't too damaging, especially if the info is too contentious to include. George Ho (talk) 00:09, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure that really answers my question. My best guess is that you are disputing its neutrality, but going over that is the whole point of the GA review. If you have specific concerns, that could be revisited, but if you have no particular qualms to present, then I'll be removing the tag shortly. mftp dan ^oops 03:30, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi George, hope all is well. I’m not sure if this was a mistake, but a couple of your edits at Fidel LaBarba seem to have erased most of his professional boxing record from the article. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 01:35, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

@GOAT Bones231012: Don't know what you mean, honestly. From what I see, I just made table headers stickier without removing essential records. Well, I made the table window kinda smaller... but scrollable. Are you able to scroll down the table? George Ho (talk) 05:41, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Apologies, I am able to scroll down his record, I just didn’t realize it at first, sorry. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 10:22, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi George. I don't know if you remember but 5 years ago I spoke to you on the Frasier talk page about "correcting" the Frasier colors. We went back and forth a little, with me proposing 11 colors and you suggesting changes. I forgot about this for a long time and recently went back and noticed the colors still haven't been "fixed". I notice someone else was calling for this change to be made, too. I would really like to unarchive that conversation (from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Frasier/Archive_2#Season_color) and continue where we left off. Before I do so, just checking that you still be interested in participating? You could unarchive it if you like as I'm not experienced with how to do it. When we left off, I was going to make a final selection of 11 colors then you could convert to the appropriate web-safe palette and use in the Frasier pages. Grand Dizzy (talk) 00:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Don't try to unarchive the discussion (From WP:TPG#Archiving: Do not unarchive a thread that was effectively closed; instead, start a new discussion and link to the archived prior discussion). Rather start a new one called "Colors redux" or something like that. George Ho (talk) 02:48, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello George Ho. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of File:Bb1usacast.jpg, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Image is not from a press or photo agency. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:02, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm very sure it's not a screenshot. Also, I rewatched and skimmed through Episode 1 of Big Brother 1 (US). I don't see the exact photo anywhere in the episode. The then-live camera showed a different angle of the same setting where the photo took place.

As for the photo itself, it's also seen in Getty Images. Sure, CBS took this photo, but it also donated it to Getty Images. Why doesn't "speedy delete" apply? George Ho (talk) 07:40, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

That's a mistake on my part. I have deleted the file F7. -- Whpq (talk) 03:17, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm a researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder working on a project about how Wikipedia’s design features (like links and talk pages) shape how history is remembered across different languages. We’re especially focused on the Arab Spring articles in English and Arabic. More info here: https://columnlab.github.io/projects/wikiAffordancePerception/

Since you've made important contributions to the Arab Spring article, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take a quick survey about your experience editing it. It’s just 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes. Survey link: https://cuboulder.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5tlLObfgSGPJMjA

All responses are anonymous, and no identifying information will be published or shared.

If you're open to a short follow-up interview, I’d love to hear more about your perspective. You can respond here, on my user talk page, or let me know in the survey.

Thanks so much for your time and for your contributions to Wikipedia! Very best! Hlauriejones (talk) 21:13, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Murder of Travis Alexander shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page's content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please stop editing the page and use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensusamong the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolutionsuch as a third opinion. In some cases, you may wish to request page protection while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, or whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule— if things indicate that you intend to continue reverting content on the page.

Hello there!

The user above, Threeholedwonder, made a post at ANI here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1212#A_warring_editor_is_targeting_image_uploads_with_deletion_requests about you. They have been indefinitely blocked, and the post has now been closed.

They apparently failed to properly notify you in any way, so I figured someone should let you know it happened at all.

That's all. Have a lovely day! MEN KISSING (she/they) T - C - Email me! 19:22, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi George Ho. You been tagging a lots of Survivor cast photos uploaded by User:JoyfullySmile for speedy deletion per WP:F7. I'm not disputing your reasons for doing so and want to thank you for digging through Getty's inventory to verify the images as being {{db-f7}}. I'm only posting to remind you to ask you to notify the uploader of the issues with these files, particularly the one you brought to FFD. I don't think you need to add a notification for each of the F7 files, but it would be a good idea to at least post something (possibly including a list of the files) to explain why the files are a problem per F7. Not only will this be courteous, but it might also help the uploader avoid making the same mistake again in the future. Perhaps you were intending to do this, and I'm just being premature by posting about it here; I apologize if that's the case. AS I'm sure you probably know, F7 deletions can happen fairly quickly (particularly those tagged per WP:GETTY), and it can also be easy to forget about a file you've tagged after it has been deleted when you're busy with other things. Another advantage of notifying the uploader is that it shows an good-faith attempt was made to make them aware of an issue with their uploads; so, if they continue to uploaded similar files in the future despite said warning, an administrator will be less inclined to cut them some slack and more inclined to issue a block. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:50, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I already pinged the user at Talk:Survivor (American TV series) about this issue. It's not too informal, is it? Also, the user would be notified about the reverts I made. George Ho (talk) 05:53, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I think a user talk page notification is probably better than a ping: a user can set their preferences to ignore pings, but that won't be an issue with a user talk page post. F7 deletions can happen quite quickly, sometimes even before you have time to add a notification; so, a user talk page post might end up being noticed before an article talk page post. This user appears to be editing in good-faith and just is not familiar with things like F7. They appear to be monitoring their user talk page; so, it might be better for you to post something their as well, even if it's just a {{Please see}} template to the article talk page discussion you started. As for FFD, you should though notify them of the FFD discussion per the "Instructions" given at WP:FFD. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:03, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Here's the issue: the user always changes or empties one's own talk page. Unsure whether I should post at the talk page, especially about one FFD discussion. The user would erase talk page notifications. Furthermore, a bot can notify the user already. Maybe I might consider... or... George Ho (talk) 06:12, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Whether a user blanks their user talk page of notifications isn't really relevant to the notification itself; they're allowed to do so per WP:BLANKING. However, they can't blank their talk page and then claim later they weren't notified; moreover, it will be assumed that if they blank their talk page of notifications that they read the notifications and understood what they meant. FWIW, the F7 template instructions do say "consider notifying", but the FFD instructions are much more strongly worded and say "Give due notice". Moreover, relying on bots to do something you can easily do yourself doesn't necessarily transfer the responsibility to the bot if something goes amiss. FWIW, I only meant this post to be a friendly one. I wasn't trying to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do. It's up to you I guess, but non-free content deletions often become quite contentious; so, taking the high ground from the beginning at least by notifying the uploader can sometimes avoid the discussion from being heated right from the start and makes it clear that you're acting in good-faith.-- Marchjuly (talk) 06:24, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Greetings, I am experiencing my own world of health issues. While I do not agree that a single image should be featured in the article, I have a couple of concerns. I was going to advertise in a couple of places, since it is an RFC. I looked at previous involved editors. I have had AFD's derailed because SPAs got involved instead of marking and ignoring. If you feel like advertising at say the relevant projects, that would be good. I don't have a snail in the race so I am going to bow out. Thanks, -- Otr500 (talk) 07:22, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

If you feel like advertising at say the relevant projects, that would be good. I already notified relevant projects a month ago (or two?) about that discussion before adding the RFC tag. Nothing can about much there. George Ho (talk) 07:26, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Per the note embedded on that article, "DO NOT PLACE AN IMAGE HERE WITHOUT CONSENSUS ON THE TALK PAGE. See Talk:Luigi_Mangione#Infobox_image.". There is no consensus on which image to use. Do not reinstate an image without gaining consensus to do so. Please see Talk:Luigi_Mangione#Infobox_image. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 21:20, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

How come I am just trying to create an article and you are already threatening me with deletion nomination? DentistRecommended (talk) 12:53, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello Wikipedia User:George Ho, delightful salute to you and I hope you are having a super day.

Do I have your permission to keep expressing myself writing the Kyle Fraser article or my text irks you? 14:37, 28 January 2026 (UTC) DentistRecommended (talk) 14:37, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Didn't mean to feel "threatened" or anything like that. Didn't mean to bite you either. I'd just rather be cautious about moving an article about a Survivor winner to a main namespace if I were you. Even some returnees are declared WP:BLP1E/WP:BIO1E. Shall I give you examples then?

Why can't you consider WP:AFC, i.e. why erasing {{subst:afc draft}}? George Ho (talk) 17:47, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi George Ho, with regard to this revert of your recent change, please note that our Manual of Style states that as an exception to the standards on English variations, "Proper names use the subject's own spelling, e.g., joint project of the United States Department of Defense and the Australian Defence Force;" Thus, even on an article that explicitly uses British English, the correct (and direct) link is Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, not Terminal High Altitude Area Defence (with or without a piping). Thanks. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 07:09, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hey George, I normally don't get into the weeds on the internet, in particular with moderators but I recieved a Google Alert notifying me that my Wikipedia page (?) was deleted by your judgement saying that I have not done anything notable in the past 10 years, in and outside of my time on Reality TV. Winning a TV show the 1st time, and coming 2nd place the 2nd time, on one of the longest running reality TV shows on one of the major TV networks might not be enough, but then I went on to create a Twitch career which provides clean, positive, entertainment to 1000s daily, in addition to that, my content airs internationally via Gametoon in 40 countries, you may have seen my Cuphead playthrough on the Hotel TV while you were sipping tea in Bulgaria. In addition to that, I also won an emmy for as a castmemeber on the peacock hit show traitors. In additonal I am also a game dev, who contribbutes daily to the game dev community, you may know some of my friends, Eddmund McMIllen, and Derek Yu to name a few. In additon to that, I know you are viewer of my dear friend Northernlion, I do not think he would appreciate the targeted SEO attack. In additon I also am familar with your favorite RTV person Ian Terry. Either way, I do not take this personal, I merely invite you to a humble audio discouse call, on this topic so I can learn about the process of your judging people who you ahvent met or research, and took down the hard work of the people who do know me and have researched me as evident in the important interview with the Ultima Online legend known as StraightStupid, which was linked in the wikipedia article has sense been deleted. I do not take personal offense that the wikipedia page of my former now directs to the Big Brother 10 wikipedia page, as I am more than just a single link to a ancient CBS reality TV show. I look forward to your response and would invite you on my Twitch show to discuss live. Toodles, Dan Gheesling RealDanGheesling (talk) 18:40, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

Not just me, but others said the same thing at this AFD discussion (link). In addition to that, I also won an emmy for as a castmemeber on the peacock hit show traitors. Umm... What category?

Um... wow! You're inviting me to your Twitch show. Not just me, why not invite others at WT:WikiProject Television?

Meanwhile, do you plan to resurrect the article or something? If so, perhaps you should read the WP:Autobiographies and WP:conflict of interest guidelines and WP:BLPSELF before doing so. George Ho (talk) 19:02, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

He has a Wikipedia article about him. Still, unfamiliar with him until I just now found out he's perhaps notable. George Ho (talk) 19:51, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Clayton Lockett.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SchroCat. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SchroCat/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 15, 2026 at 23:59 UTC, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/SchroCat/Workshop.

Just to put it in context, the final edit I did was based on the clear consensus of the discussion, where multiple editors had also complained about the misleading clickbait 'headline'. It's the bit that no-one has mentioned in either of the times this has been raised. - SchroCat (talk) 08:52, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification.... or heads up(?). Didn't mean to take this out of context; just observing. Umm... Want me to retract my evidence on edit warring claims... or...? BTW, as I see, your effort was just reverted (diff) George Ho (talk) 10:04, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it was reverted, which is just ownership or IDONTLIKEIT, given there was a false rationale for the revert and a strong consensus that the change was necessary. (And yet here I am, the bad guy!). What you do with the context—whether you post the context at the case, ignore it or remove the evidence altogether—is entirely up you - I make no demands over it, I just thought you should be aware that much of the "evidence" against me should be seen in it's context. If you're interested, there's more context about "evidence" against me here; some people are going to great lengths to create a certain impression. - SchroCat (talk) 10:22, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Umm.... I hate to to be rude or say this, but... May you please submit/add your own... and I mean your own evidence in the Evidence phase of your own ArbCom case? Just.... Well, you can continue discussing your own case here... after the end of the ArbCom case. Please? Thanks.

As I said in the Evidence phase, I don't intend to fully research your conduct here or too much, but I'm doing the best I can there. Well, I got a lot in my mind and other things in real life. FWIW, I... (start sarcasm?) I need someone to help me with Draft:List of Project Runway finalists (season 1–5) and individual biographical articles about finalists, goddammit! (end sarcasm?)
