Hi @ Gleeanon409: I think your putting too many refs into this tiny article per WP:REFBOMB. There is policy called WP:CITEKILL. I whole lot will need to come out. scope_creep Talk 11:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
@ Scope creep: did you notice that's not a policy, but actually only a WP:ESSAY? MPS1992 ( talk) 23:42, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello Gleeanon409, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Gays Against Guns have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 13:46, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

I want to edit GuRu (book) but the redirect is preventing me from getting to the page to start the article. Could someone remove the redirect code so I can start? Gleeanon409 ( talk) 21:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from GuRu (book))
&redirect=no
should work for all devices. If it doesn't work, feel free to restore the template. You can also create the page anywhere else (e.g. at
Draft:GuRu) and ask it to be moved over (replacing the redirect) when you're close to done, if that would be easier.

By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this barnstar in recognition of your timely and articulate opposition to the erasure of historic LGBTQ relationships. Gog the Mild ( talk) 17:44, 31 January 2020 (UTC) |
Wow! Thank you so much! Gleeanon409 ( talk) 18:17, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Gleeanon409 - I don't want this to become unpleasant, and I'm not here to have a go at you - indeed, I think that your comments at the FAC discussion have been fair, reasonable and helpful. Having just seen something you've written above though, I want to make one thing entirely clear: I have no wish to erase lesbian history. I wrote the article from scratch (in collaboration with another editor) because I found Macpherson Grant's story so compelling - I was attempting to expand our content on the history of gay people, not to erase anything. I think it was my collaborator, rather than myself, who added those categories, but I was perfectly happy with them being there. You say that you found their removal 'chilling' - please let me explain exactly what happened from my perspective. First, an experienced reviewer said that he was not sure the categories were appropriate because of the lack of sourcing explicitly confirming her sexuality; in doing so, he suggested that we remove them temporarily and put it to WikiProject LGBT Studies for comment, and that he would be happy with whatever the consensus was. So, I acknowledged his concerns at the FAC discussion, I removed the categories with an edit summary referencing that discussion, and in my very next edit I posted at the talk page for WikiProject LGBT Studies asking for editors with knowledge of this area to comment. How you can see that as chilling escapes me - what could I possibly have done to be more open and collegiate about this?
I'm also troubled by your mention above of a series of similar edits all erasing LGBQ sexualities
- no such series exists in connection to me, I'm not aware of ever having removed categories like this from any article in the past, and I don't understand why you've raised this. I appreciate that you are naturally and rightly concerned about the possibility of biased editing in this area, and I thank you for your vigilance; please also recognise that even the suggestion that one might have homophobic motivations can be deeply unpleasant. Saying This case may well be innocent
is not sufficient - this case is most certainly entirely innocent, and I'd thank you if you'd be kind enough to acknowledge that explicitly. Please feel free to examine my contributions history thoroughly to satisfy yourself about that. Cheers

GeneralNotability (
talk) 12:48, 10 September 2021 (UTC). I’m having technical problems using the site but here goes...thank you for your response. I was asking you to take the request to the appropriate board for consideration but as you wish I’ll try here as well.
Gleeanon409 ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
As is seen at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Benjiboi/Archive I have had a checkered history. How people conduct themselves with other editors has improved over the years but back then (2006) I was out and gay and had more than my share of negative attention both on and off wiki from other editors. I was also active with the Rescue Squad which put me squarely in the crosshairs of the perennial deletionist/inclusionist issues. I was new to social media so didn’t handle the constant abuse well, I felt I was targeted and attacked, on and off wiki. Suffice it to say I eventually reacted very poorly and by late 2010 made up a ton of socks which ended up causing headaches to others, it was obvious the attacks would continue and there was an organized offsite effort. I certainly shouldn’t have, and I wish I would have known or considered any better options. I saw zero future for me with a project I loved, and saw zero options but the poor ones I chose. Until 2021 I either didn’t know or realize a standard offer existed. In 2019 I tried to make what I thought was a clean start but was sleuthed out by editors who are into such things. I regret that they also made bad faith accusations as a pillar of the report alleging that I have any support for child rape, I certainly do not, but I’ve learned anyone canu say anything on the internet without consequences. Generally I think my Gleeanon409 account shows that I support insisting on reliable sources and building consensus when disagreements arise. It can take longer but the results last longer as well. I’d like to resume with the Gleeanon409 account with the community’s permission. I’d appreciate if you could take this request to whatever board is appropriate for consideration. p.s. I did try editing a bit on other wiki projects but I didn’t find it to be a good experience. Glee anon 13:12, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

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.
Checkuser note: I see Possible sockpuppetry here, on 2021-06-12 and 2021-08-29 and have concerns more broadly. I want to be incredibly clear, though, this is possible rather than likely. Another checkuser should weigh in here as the technical specifics make this a bit more tricky than normal to render an opinion. -- Yamla ( talk) 13:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello Gleeanon409,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jason Bolden for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hi Gleeanon409 - I don't want this to become unpleasant, and I'm not here to have a go at you - indeed, I think that your comments at the FAC discussion have been fair, reasonable and helpful. Having just seen something you've written above though, I want to make one thing entirely clear: I have no wish to erase lesbian history. I wrote the article from scratch (in collaboration with another editor) because I found Macpherson Grant's story so compelling - I was attempting to expand our content on the history of gay people, not to erase anything. I think it was my collaborator, rather than myself, who added those categories, but I was perfectly happy with them being there. You say that you found their removal 'chilling' - please let me explain exactly what happened from my perspective. First, an experienced reviewer said that he was not sure the categories were appropriate because of the lack of sourcing explicitly confirming her sexuality; in doing so, he suggested that we remove them temporarily and put it to WikiProject LGBT Studies for comment, and that he would be happy with whatever the consensus was. So, I acknowledged his concerns at the FAC discussion, I removed the categories with an edit summary referencing that discussion, and in my very next edit I posted at the talk page for WikiProject LGBT Studies asking for editors with knowledge of this area to comment. How you can see that as chilling escapes me - what could I possibly have done to be more open and collegiate about this?
I'm also troubled by your mention above of a series of similar edits all erasing LGBQ sexualities
- no such series exists in connection to me, I'm not aware of ever having removed categories like this from any article in the past, and I don't understand why you've raised this. I appreciate that you are naturally and rightly concerned about the possibility of biased editing in this area, and I thank you for your vigilance; please also recognise that even the suggestion that one might have homophobic motivations can be deeply unpleasant. Saying This case may well be innocent
is not sufficient - this case is most certainly entirely innocent, and I'd thank you if you'd be kind enough to acknowledge that explicitly. Please feel free to examine my contributions history thoroughly to satisfy yourself about that. Cheers

Good morning Gleeanon409, I have received your email. In short, I am not the person you need to appeal to; the
Benjiboi account is banned by community consensus and you would need to request an unban at
the administrators' noticeboard. If you post an unblock request (copy and paste {{
unblock|(reason) ~~~~}}
(replacing (reason) with your appeal for why you should be unbanned), I or another administrator can copy your appeal to the correct location.
GeneralNotability (
talk) 12:48, 10 September 2021 (UTC). I’m having technical problems using the site but here goes...thank you for your response. I was asking you to take the request to the appropriate board for consideration but as you wish I’ll try here as well.

Request reason:
As is seen at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Benjiboi/Archive I have had a checkered history. How people conduct themselves with other editors has improved over the years but back then (2006) I was out and gay and had more than my share of negative attention both on and off wiki from other editors. I was also active with the Rescue Squad which put me squarely in the crosshairs of the perennial deletionist/inclusionist issues. I was new to social media so didn’t handle the constant abuse well, I felt I was targeted and attacked, on and off wiki. Suffice it to say I eventually reacted very poorly and by late 2010 made up a ton of socks which ended up causing headaches to others, it was obvious the attacks would continue and there was an organized offsite effort. I certainly shouldn’t have, and I wish I would have known or considered any better options. I saw zero future for me with a project I loved, and saw zero options but the poor ones I chose. Until 2021 I either didn’t know or realize a standard offer existed. In 2019 I tried to make what I thought was a clean start but was sleuthed out by editors who are into such things. I regret that they also made bad faith accusations as a pillar of the report alleging that I have any support for child rape, I certainly do not, but I’ve learned anyone canu say anything on the internet without consequences. Generally I think my Gleeanon409 account shows that I support insisting on reliable sources and building consensus when disagreements arise. It can take longer but the results last longer as well. I’d like to resume with the Gleeanon409 account with the community’s permission. I’d appreciate if you could take this request to whatever board is appropriate for consideration. p.s. I did try editing a bit on other wiki projects but I didn’t find it to be a good experience. Glee anon 13:12, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Per the discussion at AN, your request to have your CBAN lifted was denied. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 12:28, 13 September 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.
Checkuser note: I see Possible sockpuppetry here, on 2021-06-12 and 2021-08-29 and have concerns more broadly. I want to be incredibly clear, though, this is possible rather than likely. Another checkuser should weigh in here as the technical specifics make this a bit more tricky than normal to render an opinion. -- Yamla ( talk) 13:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello Gleeanon409,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jason Bolden for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
