User:TheUzbek has singlehandedly tried to "standardize" the government section back to "Communist state" Despite being previously blocked for it and claiming "consensus was made" when it was absolutely not (the RfC was NEVER closed) I have NOT seen a single RfC determining this change either. I apologize if this isn't the right place to handle this, so LMK if this belongs on AN. _⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 13:22, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

@WeaponizingArchitecture That is wrong. There has been noticeboard discussions (see Laos), discussion on talk pages, RFCs etc. All have preferred communist state. TheUzbek (talk) 14:02, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Please provide the links. Because I checked the talk pages for multiple and saw absolutely nothing. And these pages aren't high traffic to have had those discussions archived yet. Furthermore the only talk page I've seen wasn't even closed and didn't have a clear consensus. _⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 14:19, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

It's strange. Because you have edited in one RFC (North Korea), the talk page of Laos links to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 262#Laos, where an external admin concluded that the term "communist state" was best. I have started discussions on the talk pages of China, Cuba, East Germany, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia as well. You need to look rather than accuse. You will also notice that I seldom revert edits on those pages; other users do as well. So, why you choose to accuse me single-handedly is beyond me. I advice you to maybe ask a question. For example, why do you think the term communist state is best? Maybe we could have started a friendly discussion between peers, because we are peers, we are equals. TheUzbek (talk) 14:36, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Okay, that clears up why I didn't see it, because it first appeared to me on Bulgarian People's Republic and the rationale I was given was "overlinking" by somebody else. My bad.

I personally disagree with "communist state" being applied to every country, because it's incredibly vague (would the Zapatista Territory be a "communist state" despite following something different from say, Laos?) especially in the context of North Korea, who to my knowledge don't even claim to follow Marxism-Leninism anymore. I understand the rationale that the specific term "Marxist-Leninist one party state" may not exactly appear, but it seems to be based on most of these states enshrining that specific ideology into their power structure.

I think the best solution to this would be to create one discussion page in one place and to get as many people involved. Otherwise it's just going to complicate things, because I think there are other users who don't know where this started (including myself) who get confused about the change. _⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 14:41, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Communist state is not vague. It institutionally means the following things: a state based on a system of state organs of power headed by a supreme state organ of power (SSOP), which holds the unified powers of the state and delegates its powers to inferior state organs under the principle of the division of labour of state organs in the communist state constitution. The SSOP's relationship with other lower-level state organs of power and the inferior state organs are based on democratic centralism and dual subordination. The SSOP works under the leadership of the communist party, which is granted a monopoly on state power in the communist state constitution, and the party is also organised on democratic centralism. Both the SSOP and the party govern according to the principle of politics in command, that is, the belief that political power overrides law: that means that the SSOP, and the party through it, is not limited by the constitution. You can also add a whole bunch of economic features as well, and of course, the important roles of transmission belt mass organisations. All these features a communist state shares. So no, its not vague at all. TheUzbek (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

real quick, did you see what I said about the one discussion page? I'll prolly write up an RfC about it when I have the time (I have to go do errands). As for this point this accidentally runs into POV pushing because this refers to Marxism Leninism specifically (which the status quo pre-change described in my view) _⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 14:55, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

I support you in starting an RFC, and I think you will loose hecause you have no other arguement than "wrong". What I don't support is your accusations regarding my behaviour, its deeply unfair. We can disagree, but this is something else. TheUzbek (talk) 15:01, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Moxy. I've stumbled upon several editnotices made by you, which have wording similar to Template:Overillustration risk editnotice. Each of them has wikitext {{{1|}}} at the end of the main text. It seems that this is an unused part of these editnotices, because Template:Editnotice load doesn't pass positional parameters. Individual editnotice pages (like Template:Editnotices/Page/Baroque) don't have transclusions elsewhere. Even the original {{Overillustration risk editnotice}} doesn't have any users of its positional parameter.

Should the wikitext {{{1|}}} be removed from these pages? If anything, just to avoid confusion. —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:36, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

what are you asking? Is this some sort of generic post or written by human? Moxy🍁 15:40, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Ok, let me ask a more concrete question. Why did you add wikitext {{{1|}}} in this edit: Special:Diff/1083438120? —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:46, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

no clue what your asking..... Is there some sort of error being caused? Moxy🍁 15:47, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Why is there an unused parameter in the page Template:Editnotices/Page/Canadian cuisine? —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:50, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

it's a generic copy paste if there's an error let's fix it. Moxy🍁 15:53, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Done in these nine edits. —⁠andrybak (talk) 15:59, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

perfect thank you..... I'm at a loss at what the problem is but I'm glad you solved it. Moxy🍁 16:01, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

The problem was that I didn't understand why the positional parameter was there. I double checked with the original author to see if I had been missing something in how the templates are used. But since you don't know why the parameter had been added either, I concluded that it is an unnecessary parameter, and thus should be removed. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:05, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Sounds good I've always trusted your judgment for a decade now. Moxy🍁 16:19, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Laughter for Christmas: enjoy the season! - During Bach's time in Leipzig, they celebrated for three days, DYK? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello. You seemed to reverted both of the images on the articles Shou Arai and Titica. You can check both of the images on Wikicommons and see that they were submitted by the original artists onto Wikicommons and have no mention or sign of AI being used in the process. If you have any proof that these artists lied and used AI without disclosing, please provide it.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Greenland, you may be blocked from editing. Bjerrebæk (talk) 10:56, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to American hybrid warfare against Greenland during the second Trump administration. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. You have now repeatedly edit-warred(, , ) an irrelevant template into the article American hybrid warfare against Greenland during the second Trump administration against various editors who removed for cause (most recently). Please self-revert. Instead of edit-warring, please seek consensus on the talk page. Bjerrebæk (talk) 18:45, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

You have the template editor user right. That means that you should be extra careful when reverting in template space, as editors may interpret your revert as a sort of ownership or power move. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:28, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Greenland 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 consensus among 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 resolution such 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.

It was an RM, not RFC. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:41, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

The Unknown is a seminal work for Crawford, in which she acknowledged that Chaney taught her the art of acting in film. The text in the article is related to this fact. As such, an image from The Unknown seems appropriate. The movie Four Walls (1928) is a minor effort. If you wish, expand the article of this 1928 film with Gilbert to establish its significance. In this context, why should the new image be removed? 36hourblock (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Moxy. Multiple people suggested using new sources or ropening the RfC using different sources. So I restarted the discussion based on this suggestion. I think one more shot is appropriate considering these are the best sources yet and there was a pretty even 50/50 split last time, meaning the consensus with these new sources is likely to shift in favor of the RfC. A lot of the naysayers also cited sources that were previously proposed but were not included in this new RfC as reasons for opposing the RfC. Can I please have your support for one more shot? Alexandraaaacs1989 (talk) 01:11, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Just so you're aware the sources you're using are not new but good luck anyways. Moxy🍁 01:14, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert. I understand that the "Notable people" section may not be appropriate for images, especially in list form.

Could you read over MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES and WP:Gallery Moxy🍁 04:22, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi. fine-dining-guide.com, leadingrestaurants.co.uk, both reference all three guides in the UK. At the moment Michelin is useful for international comparison but is bias by being the only reference. The Michelin guide was referenced directly and this is what I did with the other two. I understand why you think the addition may look like it has no value, but without it the one citation has bias and the sentence has an over emphasis on one guide - Michelin and one type of dining. 117PXL (talk) 18:32, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi there,

I'm a senior writer with CBC Radio digital, and I'm working on a story about the future of Wikipedia amid the rise of AI. I've spoken with Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, and hoped to get your insight for the piece -- particularly whether Wikipedia's mandate of civil discourse might shape AI in a softer way than the Wild West of social media. I would love to hear about how your experience editing Wikipedia over 20 (!!) years has changed, and what you see for its future, too.

If you're interested, please let me know when you might have time today or tomorrow; it would likely be about 15 minutes.
