Hi

You have been here awhile and I notice no one has welcomed you. So let me offer you a heartfelt welcome! Some of us have developed a rather tough skin because of some of the nastiness we have encountered here on Wikipedia. Spend your time here in areas you enjoy. Best wishes - Josette (talk) 20:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Appreciate the welcome! Best wishes to you too!

WP:NOTCENSORED

The above applies in articles and elsewhere. We have an article WP:FUCK. You're allowed to say "I fucked up". You're just not allowed to direct swear words at someone, such as "you're a fucking asshole". Sorry to litter your talkpage with examples if you're easily offended. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I appreciate the opinion and information (links). In fact, I'll use your exact analogy from above in regards to our ongoing discussion on WQA. You are allowed to say "dick". But you can't tell someone that they are (or are acting like) a "dick" (and who are we kidding ... that is what the link to the WP:DICK is for). Again, regarding WP:NOTCENSORED, my understanding after reading it is using offensive terms, phrases, pictures in CONTENT in articles if it is meaningful and topical then it is certainly allowable and in context. --Douggmc (talk) 21:16, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate edit

I cannot tell if this edit is sincerely asking if Wright was White or just trying to make a point. If the latter, it is disruptive and inappropriate. If the former, let me inform you he was Black. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

There is nothing inappropriate about being factually accurate. Perhaps you are being insincere? Douggmc (talk) 19:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Are you insisting he was White? EvergreenFir (talk) 19:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Are you insisting he is Black? I don't mean to be obtuse, but sometimes this approach is very effective at making the point. If you insist on categorizing his race, then do it accurately. Douggmc (talk) 19:44, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

First, warning. Stop your disruptive editing. Second, all RS ([1], [2], [3], [4]) including the medical examiner call him Black. Do not engage in WP:OR. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:46, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Killing of Daunte Wright) for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and BLP violations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  EvergreenFir (talk) 19:48, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Correcting inaccuracies is not "warring" or "disruptive".

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

It is entirely reasonable and appropriate to be factually accurate, regardless of inaccurate reporting by media, governmental authorities, or anybody else. Daunte White is as White as he is Black. There is no ulterior motive beyond using correct terminology. If editors insist on categorizing his ethnicity at all, then "mixed-race" is reasonable. I should be unblocked and the accurate edits to Daunte White Shooting's wiki page should be made Douggmc (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Verifiability is what's important, not truth. See WP:NOTTRUTH. Yamla (talk) 20:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Note to reviewing admins please see discussion at Talk:Killing_of_Daunte_Wright#Race_of_victim. RS are unambiguous on their racial description of Wright EvergreenFir (talk) 20:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
• "Verifiability is what's important, not truth." Can you "verify" his ethnicity? Douggmc (talk) 21:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

  Douggmc, NBC, NYT, ABC, CNN, AP, BBC, USA Today, WaPo, WSJ, Independent, Time, and FOX, among others, all refer to Mr. Wright a "Black man." We as the editors do not decide what the "truth" is, the reliable sources do whether we like it or not. All of these reliable sources verify that he was, indeed, a black man. There is nothing to argue about unless multiple reliable sources confirm something to the contrary. Please refrain from making any such changes once your block has expired.
