Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recentmotion, a rough consensus of administrators at thearbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor'sArab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

Hi @Spencer-- you helped with an edit request to theMP Materials page, which I cannot edit directly due to a disclosed COI, a few years ago. I'm hoping you can help resolve a quick issue that I fear may be a scam edit to the page.

Last week someone added a fake executive to the "Key People" table -- "Yaketrena Madrigal (CFO)." This, in fact, is not the company's CFO. Ryan Corbett is the company's CFO, as the company'swebsite andBloomberg show.

Given you are active I am hoping you will see this and can make the edit to potentially prevent a scam in progress. I left a similar note on another active editor's pagehere. Thanks!Tmy350 (talk)16:30, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
