I came across a link to Findthedata.org . The original website seems defunct, I get various nasty stuff or complete page loading failure when I try to access it. A press release from 2011 says "FindTheData has launched powerful comparisons such as City Crime Statistics, Salaries by Job and Industry, Airport Facilities, Vehicle Complaints, and many more, to help you quickly and easily access the data you need.".
Archive.org has minimal coverage of the site, and nothing looks useful. I think the various references [1] are so bad they need to be expunged. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 05:23, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Dear 力, a.k.a. power~enwiki,
I was very impressed by your bold removal of WP:FRINGE material here. I had complained about this problem earlier on the talk page, but I was just given a lecture in ancient mysticism.
I have been trying to maintain your edit since against one or two IPs that tried to revert it. However, today your edit was reverted by the same admin that had given me the mentioned lecture when I first complained about it. I have reverted it back with an attempt at a more clear argument, using WP:FRINGE, WP:DUE, and WP:OR. This is just to alert you of what is going on there, since my attempt to ping you directly from the edit summary failed. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 19:28, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Dear 力,
Thank you for participating in the recent discretionary sanctions community consultation. We are truly appreciative of the range of feedback we received and the high quality discussion which occurred during the process. We have now posted a summary of the feedback we've received and also a preview of some of what we expect to happen next. We hope that the second phase, a presentation of draft recommendations, will proceed on time in June or early July. You will be notified when this phase begins, unless you choose to to opt-out of future mailings by removing your name here. --Barkeep49 & KevinL (aka L235) 21:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Please note that I have blocked User:Ali mjr for a WP:3RR violation at Investigations into the origin of COVID-19. You have also been reverting a lot there but you have stayed under 3RR and I think your reverts may fall under the BLP 3RR exemption.
If you are reverting under a 3RR exemption such as BLP it is important to put this in your edit summaries as it can be difficult to tell by the admin. A link like WP:NOT3RR#EXBLP in the edit summary can help the admin notice this. Thank you. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 01:14, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to open a conversation with you and to ask why you did a soft redirect to the New York Emmy Awards article? While these are regional Emmys they do not deserve to be redirected to the academy's main article. There are I believe twenty three Emmy Awards pages under the regional headings. Each of these regions have their own awards shows and broadcasts. So, I do not think the article should be a redirect and the conversation was leaning more to the conclusion to leave the article the way it was created. So, lets discuss this.--Canyouhearmenow 22:47, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

For various theological and disambiguatory reasons, it is difficult to determine a short name for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (hereafter identified by the unlikely [but in context unambiguous] acronym CJCLS). The previous two most-common short-names, the "Mormon Church" and the "LDS Church", are both discouraged by CJCLS for theological reasons. The name "LDS Church" has issues with confusion regarding other churches in the Latter Day Saint movement which are not affiliated with CJCLS.
For a variety of reasons, the CJCLS is entitled to be identified as it desires to be identified, so long as it does not cause confusion in doing so. Currently, CJCLS appear to prefer "The Church of Jesus Christ" as a short name, which is hopelessly confusing. There are lots of churches which attest to being "of Jesus Christ", and this name does not identify their differences with other sects of Christianity in any useful way, nor is the name commonly identifiable.
In my own writing, I have suggested The Church (Salt Lake City) as an alternate name for CJCLS; however, as literally no other sources appear to be using that name, it is not an option for Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia Manual of Style is conservative; until some new name is in common use we will likely to continue to use old names. Not even a divine proclamation can over-ride site consensus unless and until there is consensus for a replacement; we operate by common consent here. While the process may be slow, in the long run, the arc of history bends towards justice. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:59, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello 力,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Choosing not to bother to respond to the above is obviously your prerogative, but I believe it to be a bit rude. Now when you choose to remove the content about child soldiers and noting WP:UNDUE / guilt-by-association - you're obviously following my contributions, but have no regard to speak to me. It seems like you do not fully understand the matter hence why you think those points apply. First of all the United States is not a minority in this context, it is a main proponent on the world stage and their views carry weight. As the sources says Turkey has been added to a US list of countries implicated in the recruitment or use of child soldiers. I did provide sources that clarified this and tried to be neutral in explaining how they were listed. As for how the US department works out the list. ″Every country in this report is placed on one of four tiers, as mandated by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). This placement is based not on the extent of a country's problem, but on the extent of government efforts to eliminate human trafficking.″ the resulting means ″States placed on this list are restricted from receiving certain types of security assistance and commercial licensing of military equipment.″' - https://www.rudaw.net/english/world/010720211
I have reversed the undo and if you feel to discuss further let me know. - May have been wrong to do.

Rhee Syngman, the first president of Hanguk, and my distant relative from Hwanghae or Hwanghaedo. Was responsible for several massacres, the sum of the low estimates is about 150,000 deaths, and the sum of the high estimates is about 350,000 deaths. The square root of 150000 multiplied by 350000, is 229128.7847, which rounds to 229129. This comes from a series of other articles including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_South_Korea.
I am genuinely confused, did I do something to offend you? Do you think "I do not know what I am doing" or are you suspending judgement on my character and passing judgement on my work, which makes me look bad? No harm intended.
I think I solved part of the problem by finding out how to use talk pages as opposed to comments on edits. Which is what I think you might have been referring to earlier.

The only thing that that discussion is becoming is "unreadably long"; and canvassing by selectively pinging people is not going to help. As for your argument, merely saying "this is not OR" without actually presenting a coherent argument about it is like saying "Keep - meets GNG" without identifying any source which actually meets it. Mysteryman's comment is "My response to the first concern is that every list and institution uses different criteria for what counts, so we should use the most expansive definition of affiliation out there." - in other words, "there are different criteria, so we should take a stance [something which is actually against NPOV] and select one and write the list based on that criteria of our own choosing [which is indeed OR]". Tired's comment is " It's also not WP:SYNTH or WP:OR as no immediate conclusions are reached (a criteria for those tags)." - something which makes no sense, because listing somebody as "affiliated with institution X" is obviously a conclusion of some form. Andrew's comment was properly rebutted at the discussion. You don't like the outcome. Fine. Making the same arguments at the DRV as at the AfD, however, does not help, as DRV is not about whether an article is suitable but whether the closer correctly assessed comments and ignored those which had no solid basis. No valid argument has been given to show that ignoring comments about the red herring of notability is wrong, or that ignoring those who merely assert something without providing any reasoning to back it up is wrong.

I was reading this move discussion and saw your comment. Knowing that we had disagreed in the recent McCarthy process (similarly contrasting an entertainer versus a current politician), I hoped a dialog with you might help me understand a concept better.
In the current discussion, an early and guiding assertion is on the subject of incoming links, 1200/335/179/>100. This has the appearance of statistic neutrality and impartiality, and I'll concede is certainly a worthy standard to observe. The next assertion is about pageviews, again a statistic, so I'm okay here too. Ghits, again just a number. After various assertions of policy and preference, you comment "...it may be recentism (most coverage nowadays is driven by things he says on Twitter) but he does get enough pageviews...".
I totally agree with your interpretation, and think it significant, and not because ANY context. Your comment helped me to process something that's been brewing in my mind for some time: such numeric assertions seem to have a recentism/immediacy/connectedness bias because of the frequent use of ROUTINE entertainment, celebrity and political news sources, which feed themselves and each other. In the case of McCarthy, I hoped I was making an appeal to the lasting impact of his accomplishments. Because of my view on NOTNEWS, developed as primarily a wiki-biographer of dead people, I don't necessarily agree that stuff presented in contemporary news is valid for sourcing, and certainly not statistically.
Am I making any sense? I'd like to hear you contrast your position with mine. BusterD (talk) 22:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

P.S, I didn't see this one in your ds-aware block :) Sideswipe9th (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:40, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi @力 I think you're right about PROD and actually on reflection, I think that article requires improving rather than deleting. It's rubbish as it is, but actually the subject is definitely noteworthy and I'm going to see if I can improve. Thanks and All the best, Emmentalist (talk) 07:55, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
On 6 December 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Bob Dole, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 02:08, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
I disagreed that this can be converted a redirect, a bold move. ~ cygnis insignis 13:25, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Dear fellow editor,
I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.
All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.
Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.
I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).
The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Power, I sincerely hope your holiday season goes well this year especially with what we went through last year. I'm optimistic that 2022 will be a better year for all of us: both in real life and on Wikipedia. Wishing you the best from, Interstellarity (talk) 13:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Not going to lie, had I run across the comment TheresNoTime referenced in her nomination, I would've happily co-nominated (TNT: any others, feel free to ping me). I have been itching to nominate various different editors and am happy to see you running. Wishing you the best on that! On a separate note, from my family to yours, wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! --TheSandDoctor Talk 05:30, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Whatever!
Hi 力, Enjoy the holiday season and winter solstice if it's occurring in your area of the world, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
I was expecting opposition (or at least concern) on six different grounds for the RFA. That's certainly more than the average candidate. Those were: use of multiple accounts, participation at ANI, participation in American Politics, participation at AFD, article writing (aka. no Good Articles), and general "temperament"/"trust" issues.
I was not expecting opposition based on my username. I'm still quite surprised. Too surprised to even comment on the topic.
As far as RFA: If I changed my username to (insert random Shakespeare character name here) I expect I would pass an RFA in January 2023. I am not going to do so. I would rather keep this username than be an admin.
If you look at this the wrong way, you will say I am obsessed with being an admin, and am now blackmailing the community to change its admin username policy.
The correct answer is that I don't care at all about being an admin or the admin username policy, and was only interested due to the repeated comments that there is a critical shortage of admins. Apart from dealing with page protections, every part of the admin toolkit would make my Wikipedia experience less enjoyable.
I have determined that the shortage of admins is not more critical than the other shortages of editors.
We have a shortage of editors who care whether it is Turkey or Turkiye, and a shortage of editors who care if there is an edit war on that topic.
We have a shortage of editors who care what article we have on Diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We have a shortage of editors who edit the Indonesian Wiki. (and we have almost no editors at all who edit the Tok Pisin Wiki)
The admin shortage can go to the back of the line.

All that was required was to use Latin characters in their signature
At great risk of waxing far too poetic, it seems so true that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. As far as I'm concerned, every single oppose based upon your username should have been redacted, obliterated. There was no reason to allow that to submarine your RfA. Where are the "powers that be" who should be removing frivolous opposes? Nope, there is nothing wrong with RfA, nothing at all. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. put'r there 18:26, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
On 29 December 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Harry Reid, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. —Bagumba (talk) 08:42, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
The 2021 re-examination of RFA has been completed. 23 (plus 2 variants) ideas were proposed. Over 200 editors participated in this final phase. Three changes gained consensus and two proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration. Thanks to all who helped to close the discussion, and in particular Primefac, Lee Vilenski, and Ymblanter for closing the most difficult conversations and for TonyBallioni for closing the review of one of the closes.
The following proposals gained consensus and have all been implemented:
Why are you interested in becoming an administrator?
The following proposals were identified by the closers as having the potential to gain consensus with some further discussion and iteration:
Editors who wish to discuss these ideas or other ideas on how to try to address any of the six issues identified during phase 1 for which no proposal gained are encouraged to do so at RFA's talk page or an appropriate village pump.
A final and huge thanks all those who participated in this effort to improve our RFA process over the last 4 months.
This is the final update with no further talk page messages planned.
