Welcome, welcome, welcome Chris troutman! I'm glad that you are joining the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/February 2024| |

I am ashamed to say that I only just noticed your departure. Thank you for the numerous improvements you have made to Wikipedia over the years. We've worked together infrequently but productively, to the extent that I was once accused of being your sock puppet. We will especially miss your willingness to point out deficiencies in the WMF whilst others meekly admire the emperor's new clothes. |

== RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I == |
|||
I remain unblocked merely because I have been more cowardly than you in submitting to Wikipedia's obsession with political correctness. I would certainly never dare to suggest that [[neuroscience of sex differences]] actually exists. I have learnt from the punishment administered to you, and will maintain my silence. |
|||
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review|2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review]] is now '''no longer accepting new proposals'''. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|RfA]]'s structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion: |
|||
I will understand if you never wish to see another Wikipedian again, but I sincerely hope that you are able to return when the time is right. Thank you once more, and I wish you all the best with whatever fills your newfound free time. [[User:Certes|Certes]] ([[User talk:Certes|talk]]) 13:05, 3 June 2024 (UTC) |

:For future reference I feel it’s important to mention this section was heavily refactored in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chris_troutman&diff=prev&oldid=1232042365 this] edit.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals]]. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

Can't believe you've been blocked since late April. I have barely been on. I am going to miss your kind Christmas letters & talk page posts, and friendly discussions overall. Your departure is a huge loss for the project. I wish you well with whatever you decide to do next and hope you can come back in some form soon. I usually try not to engage in those types of discussions (@[[User:Certes|Certes]]- I, too, am cowardly) and this type of bias has blossomed on WP in recent years. We are losing valuable editors over nothing. Certes said it best. |

Do you really, actually believe the bullshit big-pharma/corporate propaganda that's on the Robert Malone page right now? Or is someone paying you or controlling you in some other way to push these blatant lies? YOU ARE EITHER EXTREMELY STUPID, like Idiocracy level stupid, OR A PIECE OF SHIT LIAR AND ACCOMPLICE to probably the biggest and most cowardly crime ever committed against humanity in its entire history. |

In these past 10 or so years ESPECIALLY since the covid pangimmick i've watched this wikishittia go from an ok-ish but extremely biased source for SOME forms of information on a few topics, to yet another complete shithole of a mouthpiece for globalist propaganda & lies just like all of mainstream media.

Sorry you had to get involved in the recent mess on my Talk Page. That's a downside of being a [[wp:talk page stalker|stalker]]! [[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D. Turnbull|talk]]) 11:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:{{replyto|Michael D. Turnbull}} No problem, at all. I'm a stalker by choice. (There's even [[Wikipedia:TPS/award|an award for it]]!) Wikipedians should be free from harassment and it takes a team effort to enjoy a robust defense. I'm glad for your sake it was some harmless spam as opposed to the hate-filled vitriol our admins get. I don't get much drama on my own user talk so I find a few good watering holes where trouble congregates so I can get my fill when hungry. I've also found that deranged newcomers often think that they're successfully pressuring a single Wikipedian so when help shows up from out of the woodwork the offenders find themselves rightfully chastened. I, myself, enjoy the aid of those Wikipedians who stalk my user talk and I am grateful for that friendship. It turns out that it was me who welcomed you to Wikipedia almost six years ago, and you've been drawing the right sort of attention since then. <span class="nowrap"><span style="font-family:copperplate gothic;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span></span> 15:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC) |

Hey Chris it’s ARMcgrath. Sorry that political differences caused your blocking, but I wanna say from the bottom of my heart thank you for defending me and helping me out in September of 2023 when I was legally threatened. I know conflict of interests on articles are a pain in the ass and I appreciate that you stood up and helped me deal with this. Thank you for helping me stay on here because, when it happened I almost entirely left, I haven’t retired entirely as I feel like currently there’s a lot going on in the world. I wish you nothing but all the best in what you do outside of Wikipedia. |
|||
== A beer for you! == |

It hasn’t been hard to stay here since we went our ways. I hope you still have the private message I sent after the fact. I have gotten over the incident and I feel comfortable editing on here again but I feel that this place is also too toxic sometimes as some edit wars are always one sided on one end and I try to avoid edit wars nowadays. Anyways sorry this all went down and I wish you were still getting rid of unnecessary content and drama like vandalism. Anyways I hope you enjoy your life outside Wikipedia.

== Re-review == |
|||
Hello Chris Troutman – I'm sorry if this is not the right place to do this, but I was told if I want my article about Betsy Taylor to be re-reviewed I should ask the original person who rejected it (you) to read it again. I have changed a lot of the language to both establish the subject's notability, add sources of people talking about her, and remove a lot of the content that was "peacocking." I would really appreciate you taking a second look at it, thank you so much. [[User:Jeanvaljeanjacket|Jeanvaljeanjacket]] ([[User talk:Jeanvaljeanjacket|talk]]) 17:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:{{replyto|Jeanvaljeanjacket}} I get the sense that you did not carefully follow the instructions I already provided. I should not have to repeat myself. <span class="nowrap"><span style="font-family:copperplate gothic;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span></span> 18:14, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
::I did my best to follow your past instructions and those changes are reflected in my latest version. As you suggested, I removed all the external links, removed many citations that were from articles she wrote or was quoted in, and removed language to suggest that this is a vanity project. I am not sure what else to do to prove her notability – I would think that her inclusion in United Nations conferences on topics that she helped develop, interviews on national news sites like CBS, and multiple published books would be sufficient, but maybe I am just missing something. I don’t mean to make you repeat yourself, and I am just genuinely at a loss! Thanks. [[User:Jeanvaljeanjacket|Jeanvaljeanjacket]] ([[User talk:Jeanvaljeanjacket|talk]]) 18:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |
|||
:::{{replyto|Jeanvaljeanjacket}} Yes, you did those two things. What else I had said explained that [[WP:N|notability on Wikipedia]] is not what you think it is. The boards she sat on don't matter. Where she went to school does not matter. What TV shows she was on doesn't matter. You might think that they would matter but I'm telling you Wikipedia does not care. We need [[WP:42|significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources]], so that excludes all her employers and any interviews, appearances, or publications of hers. Sources like what she published (her website, ''The Grist'' piece you cite, her contributor bio at ''HuffPost'') are all unallowable. Citations like [https://dukelibraries.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15957coll13/id/56573/rec/1 this page from ''The Summer Chronicle''] does not even mention her. So you have no claim of notability, which is why I rejected you submission with no hope of appeal instead of simply declining your submission so that you could re-submit with changes. I posit Betsy Taylor won't be notable until we have obituaries published. I'm not saying that to be dismissive or macabre; most people will never be notable and the few that are won't have sufficient source material until after they are dead. I don't see a way this could be published so you should find something else to write about. <span class="nowrap"><span style="font-family:copperplate gothic;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span></span> 18:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |

== Sexism == |
|||
Hey Chris. I hope you're doing well. Regarding [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:LDickinson_(WMF)&diff=prev&oldid=1219762603 this diff], I'd like to request that you avoid this type of communication in the future. It's really hard not to read that diff as "I wish I were talking to a man right now", which is a really mean thing to say to a woman. When I think of the impression I want the WMF to have of enwiki, I do not want that impression to be "the wiki that lets their editors say sexist things to our employees". WMF / enwiki relations have been improving, and this type of thing could be a major backslide. Thanks. –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 19:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC) |

Thank you, Chris, and wishing you the best once more. — That Coptic Guyping me! (talk) (contribs) 02:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for sticking by me.
[edit]Hey Chris it’s ARMcgrath. Sorry that political differences caused your blocking, but I wanna say from the bottom of my heart thank you for defending me and helping me out in September of 2023 when I was legally threatened. I know conflict of interests on articles are a pain in the ass and I appreciate that you stood up and helped me deal with this. Thank you for helping me stay on here because, when it happened I almost entirely left, I haven’t retired entirely as I feel like currently there’s a lot going on in the world. I wish you nothing but all the best in what you do outside of Wikipedia.
It hasn’t been hard to stay here since we went our ways. I hope you still have the private message I sent after the fact. I have gotten over the incident and I feel comfortable editing on here again but I feel that this place is also too toxic sometimes as some edit wars are always one sided on one end and I try to avoid edit wars nowadays. Anyways sorry this all went down and I wish you were still getting rid of unnecessary content and drama like vandalism. Anyways I hope you enjoy your life outside Wikipedia.

Block reason
[edit]@Just Step Sideways Could you point me (and others) to the AN(I)/AE/etc. discussion or any other place where there is a rationale and/or consensus to block this editor? TIA Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
