The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (led by the Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) is conducting a survey for en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.
The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:
If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.

They are sourced. I am disputing their legitimacy, because what they suggest is chronologically illogical, similar to saying a person's son naming their father. Hamsa came first from Mesopotamia, then to Egypt/Jewish/etc cultures, then to Islam. Or Hamsa came from Mesopotamia, then to Jews/Egypt/etc, then Islam sprang out of the regions that were formerly Mesopotamia without interaction with Jews. It is plausible that the word became "hamsa" from contact with Muslims (it appears to be "hamesh" before this based on the talk pages), but it is definitely not plausible that a symbol came from another place possibly thousands of years later. Islam first existed about 1400 years ago, yet it claims to have invented things that predated it apparently. Since the rest of the paragraph disputes the logic of this statement, please wipe it anyway, at least until we establish that these sources have any historicity. 69.161.99.11 ( talk) 20:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I have already explained the reason for undoing the edits: InformNapalm is a Pro-Ukrainian website, where there are no confirm words from the article. For evidence, three people (this is in no way confirmed that it was soldiers of this division, and not the usual mercenaries or volunteers).

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
From the talk (
diff): "Are you here to improve the article using reliable sources, or spew garage in support of a neo nazi (links above) group?"
Think of this as a metaphor: It's okay to properly study a fish without being a fish. The problem is you display that anybody that studies subjects you don't like and doesn't say your opinion of the subject being discussed is the subject being discussed. The fact you bring your own emotional view of people into your academia and assessment of people is purely unacademic because it is anti-research and divisive. I study things from a third person point of view and try not to get in the middle of it (whether or not you think I am the thing is not based on any fact-based hypothesis). Sometimes truth isn't favorable to one argument, sometimes its not favorable both sides of an argument, but by stating those facts it does not in any way make me a "sympathizer" (which is what I presume you're imply by that message).
You are stereotyping me...which is an extremely non-fact based opinion - because you didn't truly try to understand who I am based on any actual data. I hold my views based on what I've seen in real life and gathering data on who the people are (in this case a group you don't like ideologically and emotionally). That doesn't make me the thing you despise because I merely gathered data on it. All I simply did was identify the culture based on fact-based evidence, and what I believe personally has nothing to do with it or that I respect it / like it at all (thats a 3rd-person NPOV). I study African American and Muslim liberation movements the same way, esoteric mystic traditions like Freemasonry and Tantra, organized crime, and world governments... I study just about every single aspect of life the same way and I learn from what the people have to say because learning from my own personal opinion of the thing being discussed is nothing more than a reflection of myself. Who am I to insert myself/my worldview into the world of people that live lifestyles I don't live?

"You're right except for the white nationalist part. What their actions really represent is working class white people. Then started to work in labor unions with the familia and shit. That's why the vote for the Democratic Party, because they love the unions."You mean the information I got from communicating with people that actively participated in the lifestyle I was studying? There's nothing non-neutral about that. As for the second one, I was talking about the media's dishonesty not your profession. For you to say it was "abunduntantly clear" I was not in good faith makes no sense... what about the completely non-fact based allegation that I am "supporting neo-nazi groups". That clearly violates WP:GOODFAITH. You're clearly trying to tell me I am a nazi because you don't like the fact I don't share your talk-points on the subject.

Hi EvergreenFir. I was going to reply at the disruption thread at the Transphobia article, but thought it might be better to explain here. The issue is in the news where myself and foggymaize are from, [4] which lead me to Transgender people in sports. Foggy saw the article and later decided to make some changes. Save was accidentally clicked on in visual editor before a description of the changes was written. I told her to write the description on the talk page instead. This lead to the other articles. Anyway it is not an area I have shown much interest in before (I remember responding to an RFC on whether "his/her" should be used in an article years ago), but the state of that article and others changed my mind. I am not terrible sure on what the policy between husband and wife editors is. I have made it clear at my user page and hers and will do so again at any formalish !votes where we both comment that require closing (RFCs, AFDs, RMs etc). You and Mathglot know, and I have no problem if either of you inform other people you think should also. I know this is a controversial area, so I want to be as open as possible (I edit other controversial areas here so would like to keep some privacy though).

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I would remind you that Wikipedia is dedicated to a neutral point of view ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view). To preserve this, articles should reflect views from both sides of an argument, not just one. Until you can explain to me why Steven Pinker is not a reputable scientist I will continue to make edits in support of viewpoint neutrality. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 05:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
my reference to a Harvard scientistlooks like a simple appeal to authority, and a false one at that. Pinker isn't cited in any of the academic surveys of masculinity that I have read. Inserting a contrary opinion just to have "both sides" represented would just be false balance. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 09:56, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your recognition of "good faith" in my edit. Obviously I'm new around here, but the truth is I found the page thru NPOVN in the first place, so I still should have known better. As for discussing it on the article's own talk page, Should I just copy what I said on NPOVN to that page as well? Seems redundant, but if it helps, that's what I guess I'll do.

Please read this article: Yeni Safak and realize that the source you keep inserting into this highly sensitive article is highly partisan and partial that has a long record of fabrications, falsehoods, anti-Semitic rhetoric, threats towards journalists, anti-American and anti-Western sentiment and has been towing the Erdogan's AKP party line for decades now. Highly partisan, highly partial Turkish sources should not be taken into consideration without questioning them, let alone be edit-warred in without at least looking into them. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 04:38, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Sure. Perhaps there are sources out there. But that wasn’t the point I was making. The sources that were already being edit-warred in the article were not being verified by you. That is all I wanted to say. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 05:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Here's an article, and a book (Goffman) I think you'll find interesting. It's funny how things go in circles. I read Goffman ages ago (learned of him through R. D. Laing) and still have a couple of his works in paperback somewhere, although haven't picked one up in forever. So now, I find this article by Jessica Xavier called Passing as Stigma Management which is all about Goffman's Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity [1] where she quotes Goffman talking about one way that a member of some stigmatized group might manage this, and says:
"It may be noted that when realtively complete passing is essayed, the individual sometimes consciously arranges his own rite de passage, going to another city, holing up in a room for a few days with preselected clothing and cosmetics he has brought with him, and then, like a butterfly, emerging to try the brand new wings."
Now, besides the fact that that makes we want to run out and get the book from the library (they have it), there's one very interesting about this: the book was written in 1963, and Xavier claims to be quoting from a 1963 edition, which is almost impossible to believe. The google books version in the reference is a 2009 version, and the copyright page says "First Touchstone edition 1986," but I don't see anything about "revised and updated" or anything. Is it possible Goffman could have said that in 1963? Seems almost impossible. Anyway, the Xavier report is an interesting quick read, and I'm definitely going to get the book from the library; the 1963 edition, if I can find it.
You're probably wired into this stuff: is Goffman still taught today? I remember being so impressed when I first encountered him. Mathglot ( talk) 04:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

You say you are a professor in Sociology.
Imagine if a student came in submitted the following:
"Bonhoeffer's Ethics defined the Pharisee as "the man to whom only the knowledge of good and evil has come to be of importance in his entire life."1 1 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics, p. 30.
The student also submitted a list of things they read before submitting the paper, which included "Douglas Huff, "Dietrich Bonhoeffer" (Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy), http://www.iep.utm.edu/bonhoeff/," but notably did not include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics. Pressed, they said "I got the Bonhoeffer quote from the Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy. I did not read Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Hi there thanks for your message. Not sure if this is the right place, but I deleted an unsourced, unreferenced addition to a footnote to the page about women (in detail: someone keeps adding the fact that males who identify as woman do not have periods to the bit about infertility in women. That disorders of the male reproductive system do not include a lack of periods is I hope still understood by Wikipedians. The addition also makes no sense in relation to females who identify as trans as the lack of periods in any such otherwise healthy individual is voluntary and a result of medical treatment, not a disorder of their reproductive system).
I would therefore appreciate a heads up on a) how to get someone to protect the page so that neither myself nor whoever this is can change this page without someone else checking it over and b) advice on how deleting such an unsourced, unreferenced and plainly factually incorrect statement is contentious. If you have the time that is. Thanks Small candles ( talk) 13:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

In regards to this edit, I thought you deserved an explanation. It was a lazy action on my behalf to inform you that the IP user had back-to-back edits, and the level 2 warning was issued after the first one. I understand it's well within reason to raise it to a level 3 without any additional edits since the level 2 warning was issued, but my intention was only to inform you. If you felt it was necessary to keep it raised to lvl 3 – as it appears you have chosen to do – that's fine too. Apologies if it felt like I was stepping on your toes.

The only way that edit can be restored is via consensus, so self-revert and join the discussion under the section Declines in foreign enrollments on the article TP. Atsme 📞 📧 06:01, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

I've noticed The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog was protected, why isn't Sonic SatAM protected by vandalism? I've viewed Sonic SatAM wasn't fit for children under the age of 10 years. There was suggestive content in the "Hooked on Sonics" episode involving Sonic and Sally making out in front of a crowd and I wished the scene was cut. Even Princess Sally Acorn wasn't a very good role model for children as I viewed her of having some sexual orientation in her persona. I will never recommend Sonic SatAM to any small child under the age of 10 years. Kristie Ann Webb ( talk) 06:23, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

The following is just for your information and does not imply any wrongdoing by you.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Would be happy to discuss things with you. TonyMorris68 ( talk) 20:25, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

It is wrong to use the logical fallacy of the "tu quoque fallacy" that you said on the case in the arbitration commitie
The reason its a logical fallacy is due to the fact that if "a person says A is bad crime and says that another person is said to have done said A crimes, yet has done similar things themself, then that person is wrong, since that person has made an illogical error when it did a similar crime and if they cant understand the logic of what they themselves did wrong back then, they cant understand the logic if another person does a similar crime"
Another reason is due to the fact if you convict someone of POV while doing it yourself, then of course its illogical, since if you do it yourself while not being punished for it under the same evidence presented. the reason for this is due if person has done crime A then if another person does a similar crime that person have to be face the same punishment, if not it would be illogical, since if that person is not guilty, so are others not guilty, but if it is, then another person doing the same has to be guilty too. In this case WIKIPEDIA neutral point of view, where as you havec being anti white nationalist would mean you by same standard would be guilty of POV according to said logic. Hence why its a appeal to personal attacks, since tu quoque appeals to moral "we have different standards, its moraly bad" which does not have anything to do with the illogical of same standard being applied.
Thus both reasons, one that has nothing to do with your case but merely an example of the source on the tu quoque article being wrong due to that person cant make a logical thought back then what was wrong when said person did a bad crime, means that person cant make a logical thought about others doing similar crime.
Oh and the fact that just like the example gives in the article which it proves that it itself is wrong, that if the general was not convicted under the same circumstances, than Barbie couldn't be convicted either, since its illogical hypocrisy and doublestandard which is illogical and appeal to emotion/moral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnoro33333 ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Edit was made with reasons explained and therefore constitutes as constructive. Sex is a biological construct. Gender is not. Therefore sex and gender cannot be used interchangeable, using them that way is what would constitute as non constructive, with risks of also confusing the reader.
Vallonen ( talk) 16:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Actually it does, and what you will find is that there are more blonde women than there are blond men, a direct correlation with sex. Moreover, you are now trying to yet again sidestep the issue after having lost the argument, moving it onto the wikilink and a reference instead. Well that's an easy enough fix.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi EvergreenFir. Referring to this edit. I removed those words because the Seleucid Empire didn't just encompass "Afghanistan and Persia". Whoever wrote that material, decided to single out those two entities, while omitting the actual context vis-a-vis the Seleucids and Afghanistans history. I propose changing those words into "... which also included present-day Afghanistan", which sounds more encyclopedic and on point. Thoughts? - LouisAragon ( talk) 16:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello EvergreenFir,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi EvergreenFir,
I'm kinda new to Wikipedia editing proper, and made a few edits to two articles Reverse Sexism and Internalised Sexism which I hope are ok; mostly the first one which was really messy and wasn't properly cited at all. I saw you're the resident expert on these things and I was wondering if I've gone to far in trying to reach out to the "opposite perspective". Would you be ok to look over my edits and give me some pointers if you think they're needed? Or maybe just some general encouragement I'm doing a good job, lol. Also I made a statement on my talk page because I noticed there were no philosophers at all other than white males listed for the philosophy userboxes on Wikipedia! Is this normal here and is such a complaint considered rude? Would really value your advice. Mrspaceowl ( talk) 20:37, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

You reverted my edit to the page
Color-blind casting with the explanation of "As I made clear in my edit summary, this does not belong." However, your last summary was "Try that again", quite the opposite of saying that "this does not belong".
Before that, you removed my entry with the explanation "The Wiz is a reimagining, not a simple race swap", which is why I reworded the entry to: "The Wiz "re-imagined" L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which had previously gained popularity from the film adaptation 'Wizard of Oz' in 1939. Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow, previously adapted to 'Scarecrow', portrayed by Ray Bolger; Diana Ross played Dorothy, previously adapted to 'Dorothy' played by Judy Garland; Nipsey Russell played the Tinman, previously adapted to 'Tin Man' played by Jack Haley; Ted Ross played the Lion, previously adapted to the 'Cowardly Lion' played by Bert Lahr." What makes you believe (incorrectly, IMO) that this "does not belong"?

They are sourced. I am disputing their legitimacy, because what they suggest is chronologically illogical, similar to saying a person's son naming their father. Hamsa came first from Mesopotamia, then to Egypt/Jewish/etc cultures, then to Islam. Or Hamsa came from Mesopotamia, then to Jews/Egypt/etc, then Islam sprang out of the regions that were formerly Mesopotamia without interaction with Jews. It is plausible that the word became "hamsa" from contact with Muslims (it appears to be "hamesh" before this based on the talk pages), but it is definitely not plausible that a symbol came from another place possibly thousands of years later. Islam first existed about 1400 years ago, yet it claims to have invented things that predated it apparently. Since the rest of the paragraph disputes the logic of this statement, please wipe it anyway, at least until we establish that these sources have any historicity. 69.161.99.11 ( talk) 20:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
From the talk (
diff): "Are you here to improve the article using reliable sources, or spew garage in support of a neo nazi (links above) group?"
Think of this as a metaphor: It's okay to properly study a fish without being a fish. The problem is you display that anybody that studies subjects you don't like and doesn't say your opinion of the subject being discussed is the subject being discussed. The fact you bring your own emotional view of people into your academia and assessment of people is purely unacademic because it is anti-research and divisive. I study things from a third person point of view and try not to get in the middle of it (whether or not you think I am the thing is not based on any fact-based hypothesis). Sometimes truth isn't favorable to one argument, sometimes its not favorable both sides of an argument, but by stating those facts it does not in any way make me a "sympathizer" (which is what I presume you're imply by that message).
You are stereotyping me...which is an extremely non-fact based opinion - because you didn't truly try to understand who I am based on any actual data. I hold my views based on what I've seen in real life and gathering data on who the people are (in this case a group you don't like ideologically and emotionally). That doesn't make me the thing you despise because I merely gathered data on it. All I simply did was identify the culture based on fact-based evidence, and what I believe personally has nothing to do with it or that I respect it / like it at all (thats a 3rd-person NPOV). I study African American and Muslim liberation movements the same way, esoteric mystic traditions like Freemasonry and Tantra, organized crime, and world governments... I study just about every single aspect of life the same way and I learn from what the people have to say because learning from my own personal opinion of the thing being discussed is nothing more than a reflection of myself. Who am I to insert myself/my worldview into the world of people that live lifestyles I don't live?

"You're right except for the white nationalist part. What their actions really represent is working class white people. Then started to work in labor unions with the familia and shit. That's why the vote for the Democratic Party, because they love the unions."You mean the information I got from communicating with people that actively participated in the lifestyle I was studying? There's nothing non-neutral about that. As for the second one, I was talking about the media's dishonesty not your profession. For you to say it was "abunduntantly clear" I was not in good faith makes no sense... what about the completely non-fact based allegation that I am "supporting neo-nazi groups".

Hi EvergreenFir. I was going to reply at the disruption thread at the Transphobia article, but thought it might be better to explain here. The issue is in the news where myself and foggymaize are from, [4] which lead me to Transgender people in sports. Foggy saw the article and later decided to make some changes. Save was accidentally clicked on in visual editor before a description of the changes was written. I told her to write the description on the talk page instead. This lead to the other articles. Anyway it is not an area I have shown much interest in before (I remember responding to an RFC on whether "his/her" should be used in an article years ago), but the state of that article and others changed my mind. I am not terrible sure on what the policy between husband and wife editors is. I have made it clear at my user page and hers and will do so again at any formalish !votes where we both comment that require closing (RFCs, AFDs, RMs etc). You and Mathglot know, and I have no problem if either of you inform other people you think should also. I know this is a controversial area, so I want to be as open as possible (I edit other controversial areas here so would like to keep some privacy though).

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I would remind you that Wikipedia is dedicated to a neutral point of view ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view). To preserve this, articles should reflect views from both sides of an argument, not just one. Until you can explain to me why Steven Pinker is not a reputable scientist I will continue to make edits in support of viewpoint neutrality. Cleisthenes2 ( talk) 05:01, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
my reference to a Harvard scientistlooks like a simple appeal to authority, and a false one at that. Pinker isn't cited in any of the academic surveys of masculinity that I have read. Inserting a contrary opinion just to have "both sides" represented would just be false balance. — Sangdeboeuf ( talk) 09:56, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate your recognition of "good faith" in my edit. Obviously I'm new around here, but the truth is I found the page thru NPOVN in the first place, so I still should have known better. As for discussing it on the article's own talk page, Should I just copy what I said on NPOVN to that page as well? Seems redundant, but if it helps, that's what I guess I'll do.

Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!
Please read this article: Yeni Safak and realize that the source you keep inserting into this highly sensitive article is highly partisan and partial that has a long record of fabrications, falsehoods, anti-Semitic rhetoric, threats towards journalists, anti-American and anti-Western sentiment and has been towing the Erdogan's AKP party line for decades now. Highly partisan, highly partial Turkish sources should not be taken into consideration without questioning them, let alone be edit-warred in without at least looking into them. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 04:38, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Sure. Perhaps there are sources out there. But that wasn’t the point I was making. The sources that were already being edit-warred in the article were not being verified by you. That is all I wanted to say. Étienne Dolet ( talk) 05:47, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Here's an article, and a book (Goffman) I think you'll find interesting. It's funny how things go in circles. I read Goffman ages ago (learned of him through R. D. Laing) and still have a couple of his works in paperback somewhere, although haven't picked one up in forever. So now, I find this article by Jessica Xavier called Passing as Stigma Management which is all about Goffman's Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity [1] where she quotes Goffman talking about one way that a member of some stigmatized group might manage this, and says:
"It may be noted that when realtively complete passing is essayed, the individual sometimes consciously arranges his own rite de passage, going to another city, holing up in a room for a few days with preselected clothing and cosmetics he has brought with him, and then, like a butterfly, emerging to try the brand new wings."
Now, besides the fact that that makes we want to run out and get the book from the library (they have it), there's one very interesting about this: the book was written in 1963, and Xavier claims to be quoting from a 1963 edition, which is almost impossible to believe. The google books version in the reference is a 2009 version, and the copyright page says "First Touchstone edition 1986," but I don't see anything about "revised and updated" or anything. Is it possible Goffman could have said that in 1963? Seems almost impossible. Anyway, the Xavier report is an interesting quick read, and I'm definitely going to get the book from the library; the 1963 edition, if I can find it.
You're probably wired into this stuff: is Goffman still taught today? I remember being so impressed when I first encountered him. Mathglot ( talk) 04:42, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

You say you are a professor in Sociology.
Imagine if a student came in submitted the following:
"Bonhoeffer's Ethics defined the Pharisee as "the man to whom only the knowledge of good and evil has come to be of importance in his entire life."1 1 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics, p. 30.
The student also submitted a list of things they read before submitting the paper, which included "Douglas Huff, "Dietrich Bonhoeffer" (Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy), http://www.iep.utm.edu/bonhoeff/," but notably did not include Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ethics. Pressed, they said "I got the Bonhoeffer quote from the Internet Encylopedia of Philosophy. I did not read Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Hi there thanks for your message. Not sure if this is the right place, but I deleted an unsourced, unreferenced addition to a footnote to the page about women (in detail: someone keeps adding the fact that males who identify as woman do not have periods to the bit about infertility in women. That disorders of the male reproductive system do not include a lack of periods is I hope still understood by Wikipedians. The addition also makes no sense in relation to females who identify as trans as the lack of periods in any such otherwise healthy individual is voluntary and a result of medical treatment, not a disorder of their reproductive system).
I would therefore appreciate a heads up on a) how to get someone to protect the page so that neither myself nor whoever this is can change this page without someone else checking it over and b) advice on how deleting such an unsourced, unreferenced and plainly factually incorrect statement is contentious. If you have the time that is. Thanks Small candles ( talk) 13:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

In regards to this edit, I thought you deserved an explanation. It was a lazy action on my behalf to inform you that the IP user had back-to-back edits, and the level 2 warning was issued after the first one. I understand it's well within reason to raise it to a level 3 without any additional edits since the level 2 warning was issued, but my intention was only to inform you. If you felt it was necessary to keep it raised to lvl 3 – as it appears you have chosen to do – that's fine too. Apologies if it felt like I was stepping on your toes.

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

I've noticed The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog was protected, why isn't Sonic SatAM protected by vandalism? I've viewed Sonic SatAM wasn't fit for children under the age of 10 years. There was suggestive content in the "Hooked on Sonics" episode involving Sonic and Sally making out in front of a crowd and I wished the scene was cut. Even Princess Sally Acorn wasn't a very good role model for children as I viewed her of having some sexual orientation in her persona.

It is wrong to use the logical fallacy of the "tu quoque fallacy" that you said on the case in the arbitration commitie
The reason its a logical fallacy is due to the fact that if "a person says A is bad crime and says that another person is said to have done said A crimes, yet has done similar things themself, then that person is wrong, since that person has made an illogical error when it did a similar crime and if they cant understand the logic of what they themselves did wrong back then, they cant understand the logic if another person does a similar crime"
Another reason is due to the fact if you convict someone of POV while doing it yourself, then of course its illogical, since if you do it yourself while not being punished for it under the same evidence presented. the reason for this is due if person has done crime A then if another person does a similar crime that person have to be face the same punishment, if not it would be illogical, since if that person is not guilty, so are others not guilty, but if it is, then another person doing the same has to be guilty too. In this case WIKIPEDIA neutral point of view, where as you havec being anti white nationalist would mean you by same standard would be guilty of POV according to said logic. Hence why its a appeal to personal attacks, since tu quoque appeals to moral "we have different standards, its moraly bad" which does not have anything to do with the illogical of same standard being applied.
Thus both reasons, one that has nothing to do with your case but merely an example of the source on the tu quoque article being wrong due to that person cant make a logical thought back then what was wrong when said person did a bad crime, means that person cant make a logical thought about others doing similar crime.
Oh and the fact that just like the example gives in the article which it proves that it itself is wrong, that if the general was not convicted under the same circumstances, than Barbie couldn't be convicted either, since its illogical hypocrisy and doublestandard which is illogical and appeal to emotion/moral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnoro33333 ( talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello EvergreenFir, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Hi. I don't think the user is intending to request any user rights. A simple "not done" may be more appropriate. Best, ― Abelmoschus Esculentus 14:15, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
Edit was made with reasons explained and therefore constitutes as constructive. Sex is a biological construct. Gender is not. Therefore sex and gender cannot be used interchangeable, using them that way is what would constitute as non constructive, with risks of also confusing the reader.

Actually it does, and what you will find is that there are more blonde women than there are blond men, a direct correlation with sex. Moreover, you are now trying to yet again sidestep the issue after having lost the argument, moving it onto the wikilink and a reference instead. Well that's an easy enough fix.

Hi EvergreenFir. Referring to this edit. I removed those words because the Seleucid Empire didn't just encompass "Afghanistan and Persia". Whoever wrote that material, decided to single out those two entities, while omitting the actual context vis-a-vis the Seleucids and Afghanistans history. I propose changing those words into "... which also included present-day Afghanistan", which sounds more encyclopedic and on point. Thoughts? - LouisAragon ( talk) 16:54, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello EvergreenFir,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Happy Christmas! | |
Hello EvergreenFir, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

Hi EvergreenFir,
I'm kinda new to Wikipedia editing proper, and made a few edits to two articles Reverse Sexism and Internalised Sexism which I hope are ok; mostly the first one which was really messy and wasn't properly cited at all. I saw you're the resident expert on these things and I was wondering if I've gone to far in trying to reach out to the "opposite perspective". Would you be ok to look over my edits and give me some pointers if you think they're needed? Or maybe just some general encouragement I'm doing a good job, lol. Also I made a statement on my talk page because I noticed there were no philosophers at all other than white males listed for the philosophy userboxes on Wikipedia! Is this normal here and is such a complaint considered rude? Would really value your advice. Mrspaceowl ( talk) 20:37, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hello! This is a generic message created and copied to all editors using scripts that I have created. As I have recently changed my username from "

I believe that Joe is Hilarious Dumb for Returning To Prison After (He abducted the Girl).
In the Episode, nobody specifically says if Joe is Dumb.

You reverted my edit to the page
Color-blind casting with the explanation of "As I made clear in my edit summary, this does not belong." However, your last summary was "Try that again", quite the opposite of saying that "this does not belong".
Before that, you removed my entry with the explanation "The Wiz is a reimagining, not a simple race swap", which is why I reworded the entry to: "The Wiz "re-imagined" L. Frank Baum's classic 1900 children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which had previously gained popularity from the film adaptation 'Wizard of Oz' in 1939. Michael Jackson played the Scarecrow, previously adapted to 'Scarecrow', portrayed by Ray Bolger; Diana Ross played Dorothy, previously adapted to 'Dorothy' played by Judy Garland; Nipsey Russell played the Tinman, previously adapted to 'Tin Man' played by Jack Haley; Ted Ross played the Lion, previously adapted to the 'Cowardly Lion' played by Bert Lahr." What makes you believe (incorrectly, IMO) that this "does not belong"?
