Dear Wikimedians,

Thank you for participating in the review of the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). The UCoC project team and the Revisions Committee appreciate you all taking the time to discuss the guidelines, suggest changes, and ask questions.

This community review period lasted from September 8 to October 8, 2022. Over the past four weeks, the UCoC project team has collected valuable community input from various channels, including three conversation hours sessions, where Wikimedians could get together to discuss the revised UCoC Enforcement Guidelines. The Revisions Committee will review community input when they reconvene in the second week of October 2022. The UCoC project team will support them in providing updates as they continue their work and will continue to inform the community about all important developments and milestones as the Committee prepares the final version of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines that is currently scheduled for a community-wide vote in mid-January of 2023.

On behalf of the the UCoC project team,

Krassotkin's and Rodhullandemu's user pages

Hello Donald Trung. Can you tell me why user Krassotkin still has a user page and Rodhullandemu doesn't? That doesn't seem fair to me. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.107.51.193 (talk • contribs)

@213.107.51.193: I don't know the answer to that. I don't engage in post-block blanking, so you should probably asked the person who blanked Rodhullandemu's user page. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:37, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

About user Musée Annam

Hello Donald Trung, I am bothering you to ask some information about user Musée Annam.
Earlier I uploaded some files of historical photos of Confucian cultural exchanges between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Republic of Vietnam, like these two photos:
File:越南訪華團文化組官員拜會教育部梅部長、黃季陸、孔德成 01.jpg
File:越南訪華團文化組官員拜會教育部梅部長、黃季陸、孔德成 02.jpg
Recently, user Tmikas added tag Vietnamese PEN Club to these files.
Previously, I had not heard of the organization mentioned in this tag, so I did a search on this and found that on commons this tag was created by user Betabum, who has been proven to be a sockpuppet account of user Musée Annam and has been banned. This made me suspicious of the identity and purpose of the user Tmikas.
Then I found another user, Vitiek, and based on the files they uploaded, I think the two accounts may be owned by the same person:
File:奉祀官孔德成1958年訪問南越考.jpg (uploaded by Tmikas)
and File:奉祀官孔德成1958年訪問南越考1.jpg, File:奉祀官孔德成1958年訪問南越考2.jpg... (uploaded by Vitiek)
In addition, there are big problems with the information and the source of these documents. The license tag used by the uploader indicates that the documents are official (communist) Vietnamese documents, while at the same time he claims that the documents are from the "Viet-Nam Bulletin : Viet-Nam info series" of the Government of the Republic of Vietnam (which also seems unlikely). 源義信 (talk) 05:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Another request, can you help edit the article of singer Thanh Lan on the English wiki? This article has been edited by Betabum, and he has added some Chinese characters to it (including the singer's real name and stage name, and even saint's name) that seem to be unsupported by sources. 源義信 (talk) 06:03, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
@源義信: , Musée Annam's modus operandi is actually quite recogniseable, he typically adds the same categories to a large number of files dealing with Vietnamese history, adding "Vietnamese PEN Club" fits right into that stereotype. I must admit, I was kind of sad to see user "Betabum" banned as he started quite a lot of articles at the English-language Wikipedia of topics that weren't covered before (and aren't covered anymore), but I tried warning him and through his arrogance he ignored me. That is, because even if he does new behaviour there are a certain number of traits that always "shine through" that he can't resist, he's probably one of the easiest users to catch using a honey 🍯 pot.
Regarding sourcing, Musée Annam's mostly used source is "Just trust me, bro" / "Just trust me, sis", he rarely adds sources and when he does add sources you must inspect them as he is known to wildly misinterpret sources and he never justifies any changes he makes. For example, one of the main reasons why he hates me is because years ago he added a false flag to articles about Vietnamese history, then he deleted it, I then asked if he had a source to prove the claim that it was false, and he got angry at me showering me with insults, eventually I did find a source backing his claims up. But essentially he was sloppily cleaning up his own mess and he absolutely hates having his motives questioned, the worst insult he can endure is someone asking him for a source. Sometimes he sources content, but after a decade of editing Wikimedia websites he still doesn't understand basic sourcing.
You can file a Sockpuppet Investigation over at the English-language Wikipedia and here if you want. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 07:13, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
