Yes, I do suffer from something of what the Japanese called a hōgan-biiki (判官贔屓) empathy in my approach to the world. It does influence what attracts my attention, meaning I sympathise with the silenced underdog in so many conflicts, be they Aboriginals or Palestinians or Tibetans. This as far as I am aware does not translate into being uncomfortable with my country of origins, or antisemitic, or hostile to Chinese. From distinct backgrounds, I gather, several editors share this interest and they tend to work well together because they subscribe to the same principles of evidence which are commended in academia as they are on wikipedia as ideals.

[1] - this close has huge social impact effecting millions of people, short and long term. Any close is going to be controversial, but one by a non-admin editor more so. You should be careful about anyone contacting you directly. If that happens, speaking to the press will cause more controversy. -- GreenC 15:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These days, I am mostly inactive and I see no reason why the media might wish to get a byte of me, not that I am going to give them any. I do not edit Israel-Palestinian articles either. It's just another RfC — with a clear outcome — that should have been closed long ago. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A well-earned barnstar[edit]

The Closer's Barnstar
The encyclopedia suffers from a shortage of editors daring enough to close WP:ARBPIA RfCs. For months, it seemed like no potential closers wanted to touch the ADL RfC with a ten-foot pole. Then you came along and brought some much-needed closure to one of the most heated, consequential, and publicized RfCs I've ever seen in all my years on this site. As bold as it was for you to make the close as a non-administrator, you clearly made the right call as the subsequent admin closer upheld your decision and commented that no reasonable administrator would've closed it any differently. Let's hope you don't get too much unwanted negative attention from this. Great work.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 05:51, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
