Hello! Your submission of Stadionverbot Decision at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

Thank you very much. I’m currently very busy, but will try my best to get to it asap! :) FortunateSons (talk) 22:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay, and thank you both for taking over. I’m happy with the new hook, so no objections FortunateSons (talk) 16:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I’m slightly confused about what I was pinged for yesterday? Is any action from me required? FortunateSons (talk) 07:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 1 November 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Stadium ban decision, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a German court's decision involving football stadiums may preclude Facebook from arbitrarily banning users? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Stadionverbot Decision. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Stadium ban decision), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the notification! I have been less than active over the last few months, so either a ping or a response here would be quite appreciated if there is content to respond to; would that be possible? FortunateSons (talk) 20:42, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

You made an edit request in this article, with the {{edit COI}} template [1].

I am confused since you also made several changes into this article, including this change in the lead [2]. Middle East Scholar Barometer mentioned in the now-removed content seems to be from University of Maryland, College Park.[3].

Your own use page notes: Anyone is free to assume that I have a conflict of interest with regards to any european high school, college, university, research institution, scholarship network and anything directly or indirectly affiliated with them. This especially applies to institutions teaching law, business, politics and medicine. Does this not extend to US universities?

Please see: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_handle_conflicts_of_interest. Do not provide any personal information per WP:AVOIDOUTING. But I was wondering if you need to bring this issue to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard per WP:COICOIN? Thanks. Bogazicili (talk) 17:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thank you for your question. No, this does not apply to other countries. It’s just that I have “a COI in any sense but policy” for about 10 of the European institutions (+people), but I don’t want to tell which, so this was the compromise. I think that in case of doubt, a discussion (such as this one :)) is a nicer remedy than someone not knowing and thereby getting myself/them into a bad situation.

While being a student or a member of a scholarship network isn’t a technically a COI, the same often does not apply to partaking in volunteer or paid work at those. As I don’t want to out myself by creating a list that can be matched to my LinkedIn, I just picked a broad disclosure. Based on a reasonable half-year cooldown window, I currently do not have a COI to anything outside of Germany within the scope of the article.

Regarding to specific edit: I have a COI regarding one of the people cited (arguably two, but that reading would go significantly further than current policy interpretation does), so that requires an actual policy-level COI disclosure. It does not apply to the article as a whole, or even the majority of people cited in my text.

Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions :) FortunateSons (talk) 19:09, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bogazicili are you still concerned, or is the issue resolved for you? :) FortunateSons (talk) 15:02, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not very experienced in COI. I basically asked if you need to bring it to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard and you said no. Bogazicili (talk) 16:01, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, alright, thanks. Please don’t hesitate to ask if there are any further concerns! FortunateSons (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
