'Severe' and 'Significant' in LGBT articles

Hi, these are the articles where severe and significant have been added:

If you think these descriptors are too subjective, should they all be changed? Thanks in advance. Doomdorm64 (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. That's very helpful of you to supply the search links. To tell the truth, I am uncertain to what extent the addition of these evaluative words is a problem. My own instinct is that we should not include them – not because they're not true, or a good case cannot be made for them – but just because the evaluation should be left to the reader. OTH, they're so clearly right!

I would actually like to hear the opinion of other editors, and that's really my only reason for objecting: Just hoping for a community view, before all the LGBT articles are changed. If we both asked for a discussion at talk pages (not sure which ones), I would gladly go with whatever the general feeling is.

I appreciate you responding to my comment. AukusRuckus (talk) 03:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I think the big question is do reliable sources use these descriptors? If the majority of mainstream reliable sources do, then we should. If the majority don't, then we shouldn't. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 05:43, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

In my opinion, the death penalty for homosexuality is enough for a "severe" qualifier, although reliable sources will help support the seriousness of the situation. If that is not possible, countries with the death penalty for homosexuality should be noted as such in the first paragraph of the lead. For example, the second sentence in LGBT rights in Uganda could state something like "Same-sex sexual activity is illegal for both men and women in Uganda, and punishable by life imprisonment, or death if "aggravated"." --Minoa (talk) 07:44, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Capital punishment for homosexuality again

Could you please look at this diff? I think it might be the same person back with a new account, once again removing cited information for no good reason. I already reverted them once today so I don't want to get in any trouble by edit warring. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 05:41, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I feel sorry about the big mess on your talk page in the section below this one, I don't know what is going on there. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 02:03, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

No probs, I wanted to be rid of them; thanks for letting me know. Don't worry about the stuff below, I brought it on myself by trying to clean up while the sock was still in play. I must like banging my head against a brick wall! AukusRuckus (talk) 03:31, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Pieinthesky1 keeps reverting my edits Please undo his edits, since he’s breaking the rules and is a sock of Jacobkennedy. Thanks Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/BalloonMario this account immediately continued these edits. Odd. Pieinthesky1 (talk) 15:47, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

No one’s gonna listen to you. You are citing unclear sources and I am cleaning up the vandalism; you’re also a sock of Jacobkennedy Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 15:50, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Please don't edit war, either of you: That's not the way. AukusRuckus (talk) 15:51, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

• AukusRuckus, any comments on these two editors? Ahfreakeefamous certainly looks, on the basis of behaviour, like Rayanmou07, who is blocked for sockpuppetry. There's nothing similarly obvious about Pieinthesky1. You've been around the article Legal system of the United Arab Emirates and may have some insights, though. —C.Fred (talk) 15:51, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

  Pieinthesky1 might be a sock of jacobkennedy. Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 15:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Ahfreakeefamous Evidence? Which diffs support that conclusion? —C.Fred (talk) 15:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

  AuckusRuckus said so, due to Pieinthesky1’s edits being similar to that of jacobkennedy. Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for reverting ahfreakeefamous. I was, perhaps incorrectly, under the impression that reverting was fine if it was to undo sock activity. I will wait and let the right action be taken by admins. Pieinthesky1 (talk) 15:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

This is really odd, @C.Fred:, but I believe quite strongly that Pieinthesky1 is a sock of Jacokenedy; and Rayanmou07 was also one of Jacobkennedy's socks ... erm? ... which would mean ... that Pieinthesky1 was reporting / fighting with themself? AukusRuckus (talk) 16:05, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

No, Rayanmou07 was never a sock of jacobkennedy. In fact, he was a completely different person who disagreed with jacobkennedy’s edits. Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 16:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Besides, ElephantMario was right about that IP user in the first place. I don’t know why he was banned. Rayanmou07 and jacobkennedy have different thoughts and are two different people. Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 16:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I will do some diffs but it's very late here, and I can barely see the screen. I asked Drmies, who's familiar, to check. Will try for some diffs tomorrow. In the meantime, a look at history of Capital punishment for homosexuality and @SomethingForDeletion:'s post above might be informative. Thanks. AukusRuckus (talk) 16:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for edit warring, just tell him that. Ahfreakeefamous (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Circus (continued)

118.107.220.59 has reverted Ahfreakeefamous’ edits and this IP might be an alleged sock of jacobkennedy

The aforementioned IP on the page “Legal system of the United Arab Emirates” restored to last edits of previous socks; I need you to revert his edits. I also need the page protected. Thank you. 91.75.6.80 (talk) 02:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Another IP 169.255.56.205 has reverted my edits. Please undo his edits and protect the page “Legal system of the United Arab Emirates”. 91.75.6.80 (talk) 02:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I have a strong feeling that 91.75.6.80 is bubblemario based on his edits, and seeing his history of editing certain legal pages in the UAE. 169.255.56.205 (talk) 07:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I am not an admin. Please report legitimate concerns to the appropriate admin noticeboard / take puerile antics off WP. AukusRuckus (talk) 16:07, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
