Please help to stop the advertisement edit of Gitea page.

Hi Favonian,

I'm maintaining Gitea page on the wikipedia. As a famous open source project, the project have many fork projects and one fork guys frenquently add their fork information to Gitea's page as advertisement. And they lied for the situation. Gitea still have over 50+ community maintainers and yearly election even if the company involved. You can find the information here https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#technical-oversight-committee-toc. And Gitea nowadays becomes more actively than before even there are many forks. So please help to stop adding forks information on Gitea's page. People can freely chose to use Github/Gitlab/Gitea or other platforms, but should we add Gitea's information on Github page if some sites/company convert to use Gitea?

And I don't know why my IP address was blocked. Can you unblock my IP address 103.188.234.0/24?

Your IP range (103.188.234.0/24) was blocked specifically from the Gitea article because of your incessant edit-warring. To get your changes into the article, you have to argue your case at Talk:Gitea#Forgejo Section, not on my talk page. Only if you are able to get consensus for the change, will it be accepted.

Foreign born samurai page

You might want to semi-protect the foreign born samurai page like you did for Yasuke's for the same reasons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign-born_samurai_in_Japan Theozilla (talk) 19:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done – Favonian (talk) 19:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you delete the

"It is important to note that despite popular myth and modern depictions there are no historical writings nor evidence that Yasuke was ever granted the rank or title of samurai, he was never given a fief nor referred to as one in any writings. Most of our knowledge of his life comes from these messages written by missionaries and locals."

line since it was only just added on 15:21, 15 May 2024‎ (likely due to the new Assassin's Creed video game reveal)?

And as others mentioned on the Talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Yasuke#RE:_Repeated_Edits_and_NPOV is not written with a NPOV. Theozilla (talk) 20:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Categorically: no! This has to be settled at Talk:Yasuke. Favonian (talk) 20:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, how is it determined if the issue has been resolved on the talk page? Because I imagine that can also easily devolve in repeated back and forth "no you" replies. Theozilla (talk) 20:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It that case, the long and winding path of WP:Dispute resolution has to be followed. Favonian (talk) 20:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How long does a Talk section debate have to go on for before one should submit to something like say https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring ? Theozilla (talk) 20:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That noticeboard is where edit warriors are sent on their road to perdition, a fate you narrowly escaped. I actually don't know the recommended duration of the various steps on The Road. Maybe some of my benevolent stalkers can be of assistance. Favonian (talk) 20:35, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
