Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2600:8800:1300:4B4:0:0:0:1001) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Pings

edit

I just happened across Talk:Neil deGrasse Tyson and saw that you tried to ping me there. Just a heads up that pinging people (either using the [[User:GorillaWarfare|]] or {{ping|GorillaWarfare}} type syntaxes) only works if you sign your edits by adding ~~~~ to the end—otherwise the notification isn't sent.

oh! Thank you!
Also, why did you choose me to ping? It doesn't look like we've interacted directly before ([1]), and a scan of the edits by the /64 of your IP doesn't show anything that rings a bell either. Maybe you were previously using a different IP? GorillaWarfare (talk) 03:56, 2 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
You are a well-known and public female advocate for gender equity on Wikipedia and are running for ArbCom. I don't generally check my IP when I edit but I don't recall interacting with you in any substantive way. I've seen your edits and statements. I obviously don't ping many people but you came to mind when I saw statements tending to minimize a womans experience with Tyson. There are other editors I have seen that are also vocal advocates for gender equity (especially women in STEM fields) and have the perspective that comes with not being the 90%. Portrayals of women in wikipedia articles seems to need improvement and you've written articles about female scientists. The Tyson article seemed to discounting the experience of a believable and credible scientist Dr. Katelyn Allers. In addition, she may even deserve an article of her own for her research and contribution to education.
Ah okay, I'd incorrectly assumed you pinged me because we've interacted before. It's definitely worth looking into whether Katelyn Allers is sufficiently notable for her own article, though unfortunately my brief search is currently flooded with the reports about Neil deGrasse Tyson. If you think she meets WP:NPROF or the WP:GNG (outside all this NdGT coverage) I'd be interested to hear. GorillaWarfare (talk) 05:02, 2 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

please be more careful...

I think your blanking of Mathew L. Golsteyn, explained only with an edit summary, fell short of responsible participation.

Did you even read the BLPN discussion? Geo Swan (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes, participated here [2]. My edit history is easy to find. Your false statements made on multiple pages should give you pause. You continue to create BLP violations despite feedback from many admins. The article has now been put up for deletion by those admins. Describing the issue as between yourself and an IP is a lie. 2600:8800:1300:4B4:0:0:0:1001 (talk) 23:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
