Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:33, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Notice

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

Re: Radical feminist sources

The issue of those sites being considered RSs for the sake of the GG article has been discussed to death and back on its talk page at least fifty times by now. There's a place where you can bring them up for discussion by the community as a whole - I forget where it is, unfortunately, but I'll go check. Random ^(?) 02:46, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Here we are. (Heads up, though: Gawker Media's been put through that a few times already, as have issues related to GG in particular. I'd search up those cases before posting anything new, if I were you. That said, and even though I stopped supporting GG a while ago, I strongly agree with you about many of those sources, and highly recommend bringing up your concerns.)

Also

If you see another incident like what happened on Christina Hoff-Sommers, WP:ANI is generally the place to go. There are more specific noticeboards for certain things (outright vandalism, for example) listed in the "Are you in the right place?" box, though - look through those first.

An Invitation

@MicBenSte: Per my user page, I am the author of Matthew Hopkins News. The site has from time to time sourced national news stories, and my work has been retweeted even by some major celebrities like Richard Dawkins. I have recently written some articles critical of misconduct on Wikipedia, for example here.

I am currently considering follow-ups including deep concerns about Wikipedia:Wikibullying. Some users who have received several warnings have been allowed to continue in their misdeeds and may pose a threat of emotional harm to the vulnerable.

I am also a Wikipedia user and editor. I am keen to oppose ethical lapses and I agree with you that the GamerGate article, for example, could be less biased. I am setting up a private venue for like-minded to meet and discuss these issues and consider you suitable. If you are interested, please email me via the address on my blog, giving your Wikipedia and Reddit user names. Vordrak (talk) 18:51, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Regarding this. In particular "I notice the same with e.g. Sommers page where feminist trolls are subtly vandalizing the page (including Strongjam)". Please don't make personal attacks. Also, if you're going to accuse me of wrongdoing you should provide evidence to avoid casting aspersions. I've never even edited the Christina Hoff Sommers page. — Strongjam (talk) 23:51, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
