It is a level of insanity to allow people to be butchered, babies to be killed, hospitals to be bombed, and schools to be destroyed. This is the height of barbarism in this world.

Which discussion are you referring to here? I have checked the talk pages of Talk:Nicolás Maduro, Talk:President of Venezuela and even Talk:Delcy Rodríguez and there is no consensus for considering the latter as "acting president" and Maduro as no longer the incumbent officeholder (much to the contrary, actually). You are not presenting sources showing that Maduro is no longer president of Venezuela (capture does not automatically imply removal, it is even perfectly possible that the Venezuela government appoints an acting officeholder while keeping recognizing Maduro as the de jure president while in US custody). You have edited the Nicolás Maduro to remove him as incumbent after having been invited to discuss the issue at Talk:Nicolás Maduro#Edits changing Maduro to be former president, while ignoring the invitation to engage in discussion. Can you care to explain this behaviour? Can you provide sources for your claims? Impru20^talk 15:25, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I second this. Please stop editing the article to say he is the former president. –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Impru20: I'm referring to your discussion that you've explicitly linked. Even if a minister said that Maduro "remains the president", he's not the president in practice (at least de facto). Under Article 234 of the Venezuelan Constitution, A President of the Republic who becomes temporarily unavailable to serve shall be replaced by the Executive Vice-President for a period of up to 90 days, which may be extended by resolution of the National Assembly for an additional 90 days. This is the standard for every other president when they're ousted, impeached, or taken hostage, even without a source. Lastly, I'm not "ignoring the invitation to engage in a discussion", I am explaining everything here instead. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 15:35, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm referring to your discussion that you've explicitly linked The discussion I explicitly linked does explicitly reject your attempt at depicting Maduro as no longer president, so I do not know on which basis are you restoring a disputed version of the article. Can you provide sources noting that Maduro is not the incumbent president of Venezuela? Can you provide sources noting that Delcy Rodríguez is the acting president of Venezuela?

A President of the Republic who becomes temporarily unavailable to serve shall be replaced by the Executive Vice-President for a period of up to 90 days, which may be extended by resolution of the National Assembly for an additional 90 days. This is the standard for every other president when they're ousted, impeached, or taken hostage, even without a source. Ok, can you provide sources proving this has happened for Delcy? Or that Maduro has been officially declared under this circumstance? Or is this your own assumption? Reuters claims she is in Russia, so how can you say she is the acting president?

I am explaining everything here instead At my request, yes. You did not do it before you kept on your edit warring. If you cannot provide sources for your claims, you should revert your edits. Impru20^talk 15:39, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - reverted all I could but it seems that a lot has already been reverted. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 15:43, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, has there been a discussion to establish consensus on which image should be used in the infobox? I saw a couple starts of threads on the talk page (and archive) but nothing recent that would establish a consensus. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:08, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There hasn't been a consensus yet, but it's frequently changed, sometimes without any reason, which was why I put the footnote. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 07:40, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've modified it to reflect that there is currently a discussion. Unless there's been a discussion it's not appropriate to force other editors to start one. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:04, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Freedoxm. Could you please explain why you relisted the above RFD? It's less than a week old, so a relist seems premature. Chess enjoyer (talk) 09:13, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Chess enjoyer It was indeed premature, but I relisted it due to insufficient comments to generate consensus. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 09:17, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Had it been 7 days since the nomination, that would be a good reason to relist it. Since it hasn't, I would ask you to revert it for now. If no one !votes on it in the next two days, you would be welcome to relist it then. (Given Tavix's message below, it looks like I was wrong.) Chess enjoyer (talk) 09:24, 11 January 2026 (UTC) (Underlined added 01:39, 13 January 2026 (UTC))[reply]

 Done - I'll be watching the discussion until then. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 09:29, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Could you also self-revert your relist of John B. Salamone for the same reason? Chess enjoyer (talk) 09:33, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 09:38, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest in RfD! When relisting, there's no need to relist anything that has no discussion. Per WP:RGUIDE: If a good-faith RfD nomination proposes to delete a redirect and has no discussion after at least 7 days, the default result is delete. The rationale for this is due to the fact that redirects aren't eligible for WP:PROD. Leave those for an admin who will delete it when they make their rounds. Another consideration to make when relisting is the number of discussions already on a given date. Today's log is already overloaded due to a rash of Ethnic group nominations so relisting is more unlikely to receive attention and thus achieve consensus. I was hoping to wait until tomorrow to relist some of those... -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:53, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll be more aware when relisting. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 21:58, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 15:39, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey so why was the casualty number of stg forces changed from 24 to unknown there was a many claims that stg forces were killed and wounded and removing and edit and putting unknown is not okay I don’t know who changed it but I request it to be changed back to its original with additional information ~2026-29377-2 (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it due to possible SOHR bias; I will not change it back. Please refer to the last and fourth issue that is listed on the article. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 15:38, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain what you mean by bias by sohr ? It’s a trustable source used very often in wiki ? ~2026-29377-2 (talk) 19:40, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Even if it's "trustable" or "reliable", it's not a credible nor neutral source. It's run by only one person, Rami Abdulrahman, and he's not credible at all- he promotes false SDF propaganda. See here for past discussions regarding its contested neutrality. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 20:10, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

fyi, your "self-implemented talk page guidelines" are not visible to mobile users. ~2026-21568-0 (talk) 22:31, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reminding me, but I didn't need to know that. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 22:32, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

then why accuse other editors of "disrespecting" your "guidelines" if the most likely explanation is that they can't view them on their device? ~2026-21568-0 (talk) 22:28, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Because this is my talk page, and I expect other people to respect it, even if they're on mobile. You have no authority to challenge me over if I determine if someone's respecting my talk page or not. You are not me, and I am not you. I didn't know they were on mobile, it's quite WP:UNCIVIL on why you're issuing a WP:PERSONALATTACK over a small issue that you aren't relevant in, this is nothing you need to worry about. They're actually not on mobile at all, there's no tag in their edit saying that it was a mobile edit or a mobile web edit. Unsubscribing. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 23:21, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

where is the personal attack? either way, someone "disrespecting" your talk page is absolutely not worth bringing to AN/I. ~2026-21568-0 (talk) 22:27, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know that I've tagged File:Logo of the Syrian Arab News Agency (2020).svg for deletion using {{di-disputed non-free use rationale}} because it's my assessment that it's current use doesn't comply with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. There's a more detailed explanation given on the file's page, and there's also information on what you can do if you disagree with my assessment and want to dispute the file's tagging. Normally, I would notify you of this by using {{di-disputed non-free use rationale-notice}} but am posting this instead per your request at the top of your user talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:59, 20 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: because it's my assessment that it's current use doesn't comply with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. I have zero reason to believe that it's non-compliant, similar files have been displayed for months. I will be challenging your deletion because your reason is the same as how @Iruka13 decide to nominate this as well. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 01:37, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I have repeatedly added information and sources regarding the hospital bombed by the former terrorist Ahmed al-Jolani in Aleppo and the people who died, but this user has removed it. There is information suggesting that Ahmed al-Jolani's army had thousands of ISIS terrorists, with some sources claiming the number was as high as 12,000. Furthermore, yesterday evening, footage of these terrorists threatening the Iraqi city of Karbala was even released to the media. Why are you preventing the addition of this and similar information to Wikipedia? Penaber49 (talk) 02:59, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Penaber49 Could you link the sources? Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 03:00, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
