I ended up having to send ticket 76757 to the legal department about the current behavior going on in the [[:en:Tiffany_Henyard|Tiffany Henyard]] article. Can the election committee do something because it requires immediate review by U4C which doesn't exist yet. I also misspelled "Henyard" twice in the email to legal which I apologize for. I'm being accused of bad faith edits on the article as I'm in the middle of an election to deal with systemic problems, so I'm a little flustered. -- [[User:Sleyece|Sleyece]] ([[User talk:Sleyece|talk]]) 00:24, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
:{{u|Sleyece}}, why are you appealing to a member of the Elections Committee (a global body that has zero authority to affect content on any project that is unrelated to an election it is managing) to address a content issue on English Wikipedia? Is there a reason why you are not using the dispute resolution systems on English Wikipedia? For example, have you added your voice to the [[en:Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Tiffany_Henyard|BLPN thread]] about this article? Bluntly put, you *aren't* a member of the U4C, and it would require the entire UCCC to discuss the issues you claim to have raised with WMF Legal about that article. Being a candidate for the role doesn't give you any special authority over very specific article content, especially a presumption that an article is racially biased. It's pretty obvious that the problem with the article is that a person who would not normally be considered notable (being the mayor of a small US village does not grant notability), but suddenly has dozens of high quality reference sources writing about allegations about her. This happens all the time when something titillates the maintstream media. As a candidate, you might want to articulate how you believe the U4C should address these issues, but knocking on the door of the Elections Committee is probably not going to rank very high on that list. I'm not even sure initiating a ticket with WMF Legal would be anywhere near the top of that list. [[User:Risker|Risker]] ([[User talk:Risker|talk]]) 02:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
