The following remedies have been enacted:
- All articles whose topic is strictly within the Arab-Israeli conflict topic area shall be extended confirmed protected by default, without requiring prior disruption on the article.
- AndreJustAndre, BilledMammal, Iskandar323, Levivich, Makeandtoss, Nableezy, Nishidani, and Selfstudier are indefinitely topic banned from the Palestine-Israel conflict, broadly construed. These restrictions may be appealed twelve months after the enactment of this remedy, and every twelve months thereafter.
- Zero0000 is warned for their behavior in the Palestine-Israel topic area, which falls short of the conduct expected of an administrator.
- Should the Arbitration Committee receive a complaint at WP:ARCA about AndreJustAndre, within 12 months of the conclusion of this case, AndreJustAndre may be banned from the English Wikipedia by motion.
- WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (discretionary) and WP:Contentious topics/Arab–Israeli conflict#Word limits (1,000 words) are both modified to add as a new second sentence to each: Citations and quotations (whether from sources, Wikipedia articles, Wikipedia discussions, or elsewhere) do not count toward the word limit.
- Any AE report is limited to a max of two parties: the party being reported, and the filer. If additional editors are to be reported, separate AE reports must be opened for each. AE admins may waive this rule if the particular issue warrants doing so.
- The community is encouraged to run a Request for Comment aimed at better addressing or preventing POV forks, after appropriate workshopping.
- The Committee recognizes that working at AE can be a thankless and demanding task, especially in the busy PIA topic area. We thus extend our appreciation to the many administrators who have volunteered their time to help out at AE.
- Editors are reminded that outside actors have a vested interest in this topic area, and might engage in behaviors such as doxxing in an attempt to influence content and editors. The digital security resources page contains information that may help.
- Within this topic area, the balanced editing restriction is added as one of the sanctions that may be imposed by an individual administrator or rough consensus of admins at AE.

There’s uncontroversial knowledge around, among scholars and among Wikipedia editors who have read their books, that the ‘(first) charter’ (1988) was named with a different Arabic word than the 2017 Document. (And there’s knowledge around about how those Arab words can or should be translated, which translations however on the contrary can indeed be ununanimous, controversial, disputed, among scholars.) Such information is still missing in the very top of the article ‘2017 Hamas charter’ (and even in that whole article), whereas for example the German Wikipedia does already give such linguistic information in the very top of the articles.
Personally I’m not allowed to add it, because I have not read those scholarly books (except Seurat who doesn’t seem to mention it). You however apparently have read that information in good sources: at least from Legrain, as shown in your talk page posting of 13 May 2025, 20:29, and apparently even from an Arabic article (on www.palestine-studies.org, as mentioned in that same talk page posting). But this or such information seems relevant for the average Wikipedia visitor to be aware of – that’s also why you put it on talk page. Therefore, I’d like to advice, suggest and ask you, to give such elementary information now in the top of the article; ofcourse with solid references to your sources. --Corriebertus (talk) 06:21, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
This wiki says that she's Philip's long time mistress but there's no credible proof (other than declaring herself as a mistress) that she was actually a mistress/lover. And it said that they have illegitimate children, William prince of orange which linked you to a wiki of William the silent and his confirmed parents are both people who's not even Philip or Isabel. Many historians also proposed a theory that it's more likely she's a mistress of Philip's father (?) because Charles V apparently has a mistress with the same name as her. --ARISTOLE1ARSES (talk) 20:23, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
The so-called ‘Updated table’ yesterday(19June) counted 37 sources. Many of them have unclear/incomplete/inadequate title + retrieval description (Levitt, Hani Awad, Spitka,Mintz, ”Contemporary Review of the Middle East(editors)2017”, etc.). Therefore, this collection seems too intransparent and unverifiable and I think shouldn’t play a (great) role in settling any editing dispute among us(contributors) until you, Alaexis, at least present more clarity on following questions.
None of these questions is currently clearly answered in the table’s introductory text of 13May, which is vague and mysterious for people directed to the table from the June RM debates because this 13May text is talking not to the wider Wikipedia community but only to the very few, approx. eight, ‘insiders’ from the preceding discussion about the starting line of the article. As for your current, old introductory text(of 13May) of ‘the table’: this text seems ill-located and thus likely to cause confusion in people who come to ‘the table’ from the RM debate. That text is clearly talking to the (eight) people of the previous discussion (not to other RM debaters) and is openly defending a stance, a position in that older debate – which can only confuse readers who presume the table to be a neutral instrument to help settling later disputes. For these two reasons, I think you should replace that old 13May text to the chronologically right place in that previous discussion (with a copy of the original date stamp under it, which now has landed in subsubsection ‘Debate over usefullnesss…’; and with mention that its analysis—‘tally 10 vs 8’—applies to the 13 May version, not necessarily to later versions), upgrade that subsection ‘Updated table’ into an independent section but with a much clearer name than “Updated table”(a good name will in itself already partly explain what ‘the table’ shows and/or what its purpose is), and then make that relocated old introductory text of 13 May(relocated into that old discussion) clearly refer, direct to that ‘table’ in that new talk section with that better/clearer title. --Corriebertus (talk) 17:02, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi Alaexis,
I am a writer who writes content for a variety of clients (including Guardian Life Insurance, Military Benefit Association, Resource Capital Funds, among others), primarily about financial services and health/wellness topics. I want to be a Wikipedia editor because, while I find it to be a credible source for most topics, occasionally I find the information to be imprecise or incomplete. As a user, I want to help others get the best information possible. For my first edit, I chose a topic that I’ve written about for two decades – life insurance.
On your main page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_insurance - the discussion of taxation was a bit misleading because it implied that death benefit payouts in the US are not taxed. This is only partially true: while in most cases life insurance money paid to beneficiaries is not taxed as income, large policies can be taxed at the estate level, if they
This is what I originally proposed:
United States
Premiums paid by the policy owner are normally not deductible for federal and state income tax purposes, and death benefit proceeds are not included in gross income for federal and state income tax purposes.[34]This means that for the average payout - just over $200,000 in 2023[35] - beneficiaries typically collect death benefit payments free of taxes. However, if the payout is large enough, it may trigger federal estate taxes.[36]Depending on where the deceased lived, their estate may be taxed at the state level as well.
However, per below my citations were questioned and a source was requested for the last claim, and I’d like to submit the paragraph and sources below. I made some additional changes because after doing a little digging, I found that the average payout number I used, while often attributed to Aflac and/or Statista (and widely cited on the internet), actually refers to average face amount, and originally comes from the American Council of Life Insurers 2024 Fact Book https://www.acli.com/about-t --DKNY999 (talk) 14:57, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
Hello Alaexis, I’ve been away from Wiki for several days, due to physical discomfort. I’m trying to understand now your arguments and strategy in the discussions on Talk:2017 Hamas charter since 8 Oct 2024. On 8Oct,21:22, you mysteriously present a short table (13 sources) proving that not all sources call or consider it a charter – but that had never been contended by anyone! (A while later, 14Oct,17:09, Selfstudier on talk page clarified that “a.k.a.”—which somehow had become written in the lead sentence—means only that “there are sources referring to it as a charter”; implying, what I believe too, that nothing is wrong with that lead sentence – the article’s title though, which you and I reject, was created by Selfstudier, who hasn’t yet reacted on our RequestedMove debates…)
Then, on 14Oct2024, you announced to “recheck my list and prepare a table” but you don’t say for what purpose (as there was no purpose already for your first table of 8Oct.!) Your table was ready on 13May, suddenly on 10 June you very faintly contend that in a (rather biased) test sample of only 18 sources, ten say ‘document’ and eight say ‘charter’, therefore you want to change the title! I mean—get serious! A (biased!) sample of 18, out of an unknown body of hundreds, thousands..! What’s the big deal? Why is suddenly that title so important for you? Since when can a 55–45% split, in a sample (biased or not) of 18 out of hundreds, without any further arguments, be a good enough reason to decide about a title? If you’ve ever had any statistics at school you know that such small margin in such a sample cannot count for a reliable ”significant majority”. And what do you mean there with “neutrally described”? ‘Most commonly’ is not the same as ‘neutrally’; further down you speak of “(neutrality on) the contested question of whether this document constitutes a new charter” but that ‘question’ was not ‘contested’ anywhere, as far as I can see (not among us, and only very few scholars actually consider that ‘question’). So, your talk about ‘neutrality’ is totally vague, thus not an extra argument for any title, on 10 June and again on 18 June.
In your 18 June RM, you refer to a so-called ‘analysis of sources’ purportedly containing “[all] the sources that discuss the 2017 document” which I’m sorry to say seems nonsense: it is a vague/arbitrary/biased selection of sources (dozens of sources used in article 2017 Hamas charter are left out, not to mention the hundreds of (news) sources worldwide that are not used in our article). The contents of that table can only be checked by people who have access to all those books (VR, Rask, Alaexis), but these three people already fiercely disagree on its contents, as is shown on 9July when Raskolnikov presents his “Updated analysis…” (which ofcourse is also a biased and incomplete list—which is hardly his fault—and can also not be checked by the great majority of participants). This (i.m.o.) underlines that neither of these two recent tables can prove in a way transparent to the Wikipedia community whether ‘charter’ is or is not ‘most frequently used’. In that case, we can only attempt to change the title by giving other arguments.
Meanwhile, there indeed exists another, serious concern why the current title is wrong: I’ve started mentioning those reasons on the talk page on 3June2025, in Talk:2017 Hamas charter#Renaming the article as: ‘Hamas 2017 Document of General Principles and Policies’; later I repeated them in your RM sections of 10 and 18 June. By calling the 2017 document a ‘charter’ (even though alternative titles are possible), which is the same title as Wikipedia has given to the 1988 Covenant (declaration of the principal values and ideology of Hamas), Wikipedia (strongly, and needlessly) suggests that that earlier charter has been revoked (which is not so), which I think amounts to deliberately misleading (the) readers. You’ve never yet supported that argument. Do you disagree with it? If yes: why?
But I presume, we have no chance to ‘win’ an RM if the requester in his rationale doesn’t present serious concerns against the existing title. As you can see (because I’ve posted it in Talk:2017 Hamas charter#Requested move 10 June 2025 (INACTIVE!) on 8July,16:47), the three first opponents of the RM (VR, Raskolnikov, JayenAndreas) have declared themselves satisfied with influencing (misleading) the readers the way I describe here above (though my labeling it as ‘indoctrination’ might be a bit too strong). Perhaps they could still be convinced that such influencing is not our task, or be overruled by colleagues rejecting it. But the opposition coming from PhotogenicScientist on 15 and 16(2x) July seems much harder to beat: he seems to resort to nonsense arguing. I presume his nonsense is partly meant as mockery (and partly camouflaging his refusal to accept some of his arguments being refuted); but I’m afraid we’ve ‘provoked’ such mockery – though mockery is to be considered respectless in Wikipedia – by starting that RM without solid rationale. --Corriebertus (talk) 17:25, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
Hello! Apparently, you are my Wiki mentor!
I was wondering how conflict of interest works. I am an employee for the Fraternity and Sorority Life Department at FGCU, and, of my own accord and without compensation, noticed the Greek life section of the FGCU page is almost empty and somewhat outdated. I spent a few hours updating this section with everything that has to do with greek life on campus: the current organizations, the councils they're in, how intake works for them depending on the council, and statistics at fgcu comparing greek life students to the general student body. However, after the edit I was told that it is a conflict of interest and I can't advertise one specific organization nor turn the fgcu page into a "recruitment brochure". What am I able to put, if anything, on the page? I just want to inform those that are curious and want to learn more, and thought updating the fgcu wiki would be a neat way to do so.

Hi Alaexis! I hope you're well!
I've been working on an article about the flavoring agent fiori di Sicilia, which is a blend of essential oils used in Italian baked goods. I've been struggling to find any mention of it beyond King Arthur Flour, who produces it in the U.S.; I had thought it was a common ingredient in Italian cooking, but fiori di Sicilia might be a proprietary name for a very specific product. (I had found a blog that suggested Italians might use it as a substitute for orange blossom water as a result of Arab influence, but I can't find any acceptable sources backing that up. And I've found Italian sources that use the term, but I don't speak Italian and can't understand them.)
Should I draft the article under the assumption that it's just a generic culinary ingredient? Would it be possible to write about it specifically as a King Arthur Flour product, or would that be seen as promotion? My only motive here is just making sure that home bakers know about a potentially-useful ingredient that they otherwise might not!

Thank you for your undestanding --Nick Lequement (talk) 00:39, 30 August 2025 (UTC)
The following sanction now applies to you:
You are warned to be more careful when interacting with primary sources, especially regarding living or recently deceased people. You have been sanctioned per this arbitration enforcement thread.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles and the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the appeal process. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. Let me know here if anything above is unclear to you. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 05:07, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi there! I'm really stuck on how to get my citations adequate. I'm working on Draft:Governor General's Curling Club. The issue is the organization was founded in 1874 and any links to its original creation are books or documents at Archive Canada. We're a fairly niche organization but notable in the Curling Canada world. Many members are past Olympians. With not being in main stream media, how can I get our sources approved?

@Alaexis:, I can not but notice that It just so painfully obvious that you are u/sxva-da-sxva (https://www.reddit.com/user/sxva-da-sxva/) on Reddit - all you do there is defend Russia and Israel, just like here.
You are just so typical example of "liberal" Russian and Zionist Jew (Russian Jew) - unapolotigically defending Russian imperialism and also Israeli imperialism, but trying to mask it in liberal terms.
Assuming that you are a genuine person and doing all of this out of genuine opinions - may I ask why are you doing this? If you are genuinly liberal, does not it means that you should be sympathetic to post-Soviet countries which struggle against Russian imperialist influence? Or you think propping up separatist movements, exploiting ethnic tension, arming up rebels is very "liberal", granting you right to defend Russian intervention by saying - "those population wanted to be separate, Russia is clean"? So imperialism is justified for you, as long as the imperialist can create liberal grounds for intervention, even though in reality they are just exploiting the situation in bad faith by creating never ending frozen conflicts which benefit them? And why are you defending Israel, they are literally committing genocide in the most barbaric ways, but of course they play the victim, as if they are the poor guys and not Palestinians who lack anyone's support for their statehood. 131.100.62.157 (talk) 17:49, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

I recently created a Wikipedia article about Satish Kumar Yadav, a politician from Bihar who served as the MLA from Raghopur constituency (2010–2015) and is contesting again in the 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly elections as a BJP candidate.

Could you please review the page and let me know:
1. Whether the notability criteria for politicians are adequately met, and
2. If there are any suggestions to improve the references, tone, or structure of the article?

Hi Alaexis. In response to Raskolnikov.Rev's inquiry on my talk page, I have decided that you should take a break (not optional) from editing the Hamas article for a while, as well as a shorter break from the broader PIA topic area for the 1RR violation. Looking through the contributions there for more than the past year, I see a long pattern of you both "repeatedly overrid[ing] each other's contributions" based on your "disagree[ment] about the content of a page" (that is, edit warring), especially regarding your dispute about its acceptance (or not) of the 1967 borders. (This isn't to say that there wasn't other poor conduct involved.)
In particular, please do not edit Hamas article for 90 days (a restriction I'm also giving to R.R) and please do not edit regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict on any page for 30 days.
Less euphemistic template message with details below:
The following sanction now applies to you:
Alaexis and Raskolnikov.Rev are banned from the Hamas page for 90 days for editing warring over the course of more than a year (especially in relation to their dispute over whether it accepted the 1967 borders). Additionally, Alaexis is topic banned from WP:PIA (except on talk pages) for 30 days for violating 1RR (during which time Raskolnikov.Rev may not revert Alaexis's past PIA edits). This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Index/Palestine-Israel articles#Final decision and, if applicable, the contentious topics procedure. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the appeal process and the arbitration enforcement appeals template. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything above is unclear to you. ~ Jenson (SilverLocust 💬) 05:59, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

FYI, I have now (likewise belatedly) imported it to the new issue of the research newsletter (per our usual process for "Recent research"), with some updates based on the corrections and tardy research result postings that the story had triggered on the side of WMF and some grantees, which I think showed the value of your reporting.

Hello! I'm new here. I signed up primarily to help improve the citations the "Chapman Stick" and similar pages. However, my background is in neuroscience and biomedical research, and I hope to eventually contribute to these areas as well. I'm very pleased to have been assigned a mentor!
My first question is a technical one. I'm putting in a citation for a book authored by the inventor of the Chapman Stick, which he originally self-published in 1974. (I realize there are potential problems with self-publishing, but this is the best source for a lot of details about the instrument.) At the beginning of the book, it list "copyright 1974, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1989 and 2004," as I assume the first date he published it and dates when he added material to update the book.
The citation template doesn't seem to like it when I put in all these years...Can you point me to where I can find specific details about this kind of citation, as well as other book citations (i.e. listing the whole book once and listing specific page ranges later)?

} at the top of it to get the attention of the Articles for Creation reviewers. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:58, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
I was worried about that! Here’s my pitch:
I had started building this chart as a means of adding to the “Movement” article itself given that most articles for songs have a cover/alternate versions section, but it looked like it was getting long so I made it a standalone thing (charts are collapsible, so if you think that could go in the original article, let me know!). Not every item on a list needs to be notable, but most of these groups *are* notable; they tour, win competitions, have press, have thousands of social media followers, release music professionally, have long institutional histories, etcetcetc—they just happen to not have been written about elsewhere on Wikipedia. The Harvard groups, for example, have large amounts of institutional resources and it shows in the way they’ve been received and have been able to publicize themselves. They’re really big fish. At a certain point, I stopped checking to see if I could internally link each group because I wasn’t finding preexisting articles, but as someone with a lot of collegiate a cappella knowledge, I found it genuinely odd that the only group I could find Wikilinks for were the Beelzebubs (and it makes sense that they have a page given their age/stature/impact and Deke Sharon’s role as the father of modern a cappella, but still—it doesn’t compute that they’re the only ones?).
As for the choice to focus on a single song, very few a cappella songs receive *this* number of covers. “Movement”’s popularity in the a cappella community is notable for its disproportionate relationship to popularity outside the community (not that it’s unpopular elsewhere! But this is an outsized amount of covers.) and it’s worth making a chart just to have a way of explaining why that is. There’s a high proportion of coed groups of both genders, for example, which speaks both to Hozier’s popularity with female college students and to the way his music lends itself to building a wall of sound especially with bassier voices.
I know sourcing could be an issue, too, and while I’ve added independent sources for some of these groups, I think there’s an argument to be made that most people aren’t making or listening to a cappella with Wikipedia in the back of their mind; they’re not optimizing a cappella to be sourceable according to Wikipedia’s conventions. To force collegiate a cappella to conform to these standards without acknowledging that, to college students, this is enough documentation (and documentation, in a way, redounds to notability—a group with the resources to produce and film their performances at a higher level is likely to have the resources to move in the world as a notable group), means losing a lot of information that could be useful to people just because a cappella works differently from the way Wikipedia might want.
Anyways, that’s my pitch, but I understand if this won’t get published! In that case, is there a way to export this chart to somewhere else? I spent a lot of time on it and I’d love to still have the data, but it doesn’t seem to be saveable with all the links in other formats. Thanks! Audreyeve (talk) 14:09, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
Addition requested in article ‘2017 Hamas charter’
[edit]Question from ARISTOLE1ARSES on Isabel Osorio (20:23, 17 June 2025)
[edit]Criticism on your (usage of) ‘Updated table’ (about a 2017 Hamas declaration)
[edit]
Therefore I recommend to you – in case you ever want this table to play a verifiable role in the ‘RM debate’ – to give answers on the four above stated questions, in a clear, new, introducing, explanatory text, right above ‘the table’.
Please also summarize there your separate discussions with Raskolnikov and VR about adding or leaving out certain sources and whether they’ve agreed that ‘the table’ can be used for any purpose (and why).
Regarding your last question, I said that the "document option" reflects the predominant terminology (9/3 in the first group, 14/13 in the second group). I did not include the explicit score in case more sources are added. Alaexis¿question? 17:50, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for reacting. Just one extra question now: I don’t understand how you analyse the M-Edwards&F book (Quest for Power). You say “uses charter” but I don’t see it illustrated; you say “uses Document or sml” but “periphrastically” –you forgot one letter in it— but I haven’t the faintest idea why you want to ‘minimise’ this usage with that clause(?) ‘periphrastically’. ‘Periphrastically’ would be if you avoid usage of the word ‘document’ and instead say: ‘large piece of paper with many words written on it’. --Corriebertus (talk) 13:34, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Well, what I intended to say was that it used "the new document" for "charter" but perhaps you're right and it's not a proper periphrasis. How would you describe their usage? I mean they clearly think that it's a revised charter and use the word document to avoid repetition. Alaexis¿question? 16:01, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello Alaexis. I’ve requested the book (of 2024) in my library, hopefully I can collect it on Monday. So I can only react now on your short citation of it. I wonder though –and am rather irritated—why the table does not only omit the year of publication(2024 says my library) but also the page number. There’s much more of this sort of vagueness in the table (I told you that above, 20June); this makes the table rather unusable for anyone except Alaexis.
Yes, it would be a whole lot of work for you to make the table more transparant; but hey, Wikipedia wants to hold transparent+fair debates among its contributors; so either you give the colleagues a much more usable table, or you just shouldn’t have based your RM on a (still much too) vague and unverifiable table.
Your excerpt: “…Meshaal said the 1988 founding charter of the group had been updated and revised. The new document had Hamas…” Mrs. Milton-E. in these nineteen words indicates the 2017doc in direct sense only with the words “the new document”. Furthermore(and I must guess now what comes after the word ‘Hamas’…) she is only suggesting(!) that that “new document” is the “revised [1988 founding charter]”. This is a fully normal, linguistic technique everyone uses many times dayly, and the technique is very handy and practical when you’re in the store and want to buy a pound of apples or a pair of shoes. Nevertheless, she (as scientist, scholar!) apparently, obviously (intentionally !?) avoids here to directly address the new doc as “(new) charter”.
So, frankly I’d say, first of all: the word periph[r]astically is unjustly used there. Secondly: in this short excerpt, the 2017doc is not (openly, directly) named, called, addressed as ‘charter’.
Please be alert (and don’t get distracted by linguistic ‘tricks’ of authors), that our RM debate is not about indirectly suggesting that the 2017doc is a charter, the debate is about how relevant commentators (dare to) directly address, call the doc. --Corriebertus (talk) 22:32, 21 June 2025 (UTC) P.S. A clear example of openly and directly addressing (calling) it as “charter”, is Slater (2020) pp. 333+334, on which I’ve slightly updated your table, a few hours ago. --Corriebertus (talk) 23:16, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
@Corriebertus apologies for not including complete information, I have quite a lot on my plate these days. I'll use the cite book template for all the books in the revised table I'm preparing now.
In the meantime, I'll send you an excerpt from the Quest for Power by email. I only have access to the e-book and for some reason there are no page numbers there, in such cases I indicate the chapter. Alaexis¿question? 07:37, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Frustratingly there is some kind of issue with sending emails through Wiki. I've uploaded it here instead, lmk if you can access it. Alaexis¿question? 07:54, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Yes, thanks, I can read that upload; it is three pages from chapter 'Changing of the Guard'. At some (much) later moment perhaps I'll read it and perhaps react further on your posts. Currently I have to start breakfast and then go cycling before the heat wave (33 degrees centigrade) gets too bad. --Corriebertus (talk) 08:11, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
@Corriebertus I've just published a new revision of the table, hopefully you'll see that your concerns have been taken care of. It's still not perfect, if you need additional information and found errors please let me know. Alaexis¿question? 21:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Thanks; the new table looks a lot better. I have to study and research and contemplate this business a bit; there’s no predicting how long that would take me (2 hours? Two weeks? etc.). Anyway, even while I don’t give a !vote yet, other contributors will perhaps benefit from a better readable (and more convincing) table. --Corriebertus (talk) 18:50, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
