Reasons for my raising wikistress: Some general observations on Wikipedia governance being broken and good editors trampled by the system Wikipedia is a kawaii mistress :) I agree to the edit counter opt-in terms.

The issues concerns Social class (sociology) and the phrase supposedly common Germanic past and has now been dismissed by some editors as inconsequential.

Just take fast look. Thank you In the introduction, removed as non consequential In his own era he furthermore provided the newly emerged middle class with a medium to transfer its familial and political conflicts into a myth of supposedly common Germanic past. In the Biography chapter removed as non consequential Richard Wagner was born into a lower middle class family User:Major Torp (talk) 15:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC) Student asking for help Hi, I am a student working on the Thomas Green Clemson Wikipedia page. I had just recently made a rather large edit for the current size of the page and was wondering if you had any feedback for me that would make my page better. My user page is User:Chewey93 so please contact me if you have any tips. Thank you. Bias real or perceived? Hello, I'm the anonymous editor that recently got involved in a coupe disputes regarding the editing style on a coupe of pages such as Haller's Blue Army and Poland Armed Forces. As a casual user of Wikipedia I was unsettled by editing which I consider as bias towards polish subject matter. When comparing pages on similar topics I noticed that the language used on pages related to a polish topics used much harder (judgmental) terms, and the phraseology used created a subtle, but clear bias towards Poles that presents them in a negative way. One example was the recent Buckshot06 edits on Polish Armed Forces page, when I stumbled on this page there was only one picture in the "History" section, and it showed Polish soldiers in a diminutive way that only invited negative and stereoscopical perceptions. So, I added the current pictures which show the Polish military in a respectable, but neutral way. Now, user Buckshot06 is trying to remove them one at a time, by claiming that they have nothing to do with the text. Another, editing issue that I'm involved in is that of American football coach Jerry Sandusky who was accused of child abuse. Sandusky himself is an American first... of mixed Polish and Irish descent. But, the page only mentioned his Polish roots omitting his Irish ancestry, and when his Irish ancestry was added, administrator Milowent was insistent on only highlighting Sandusky's Polish roots first, as if the man was 100% Polish. Please see the edits below to see how he keeps changing the page structure to highlight this, and in the most recent edit he locked the page despite the fact that no vandalism or edit warring took place. 1st edit: Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Evelyn Mae (née Lee) and Arthur Sandusky. His paternal grandparents were Polish immigrants and his mother came from a small coal-mining town. 2nd edit (neutral): Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Evelyn Mae (née Lee) an Irish Catholic homemaker who came from a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town, and Arthur Sandusky who's parents immigrated from Poland. ...and this is what the section was changed to (below). It seems strange how in this case someone wants too highlight the man's Polish root, even if it means that the structure of the text is moved in a incoherent way, since the earlier sections listed the mother first, than the father, and proceeded to list the father's accomplishments, Also, how many times is the editor going to try to use Poland or Polish in one sentence, it seems like he's trying to fill the page with this fact. 3rd edit: Sandusky was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, the only son of Arthur Sandusky, whose Polish parents had immigrated from Poland, and Evelyn Mae (née Lee) an Irish Catholic homemaker who came from a small Pennsylvania coal-mining town. Now, since the page is locked, I'm not able to revert the changes, and I can't constantly argue with an administrator who clearly has more power to block IP's or lock pages. And, to prove my point of a bias, don't see any mention of Polish ancestry on pages related to other football players/coaches such as Mike Ditka, Don Majkowski, or Rob Gronkowski. Yet, in the case of child abuser Jerry Sandusky his polish background is highlighted and edited to maintain this bias. --76.118.227.161 (talk) 02:01, 4 December 2011 Disambiguation link notification Hi.

I have seen your name on the SOPA talk. I am also against SOPA. I also happen to be a citizen of an Eastern European country, Romania, living in Romania. I am using WIkipedia daily - I am an avid Encyclopaedia reader, and sometimes I also edit. I have noticed that you support and encourage WF to punish me, and others like me around the world, basically severely disturbing our lives by having WP blocked entirely, for something that politicians in a foreing country (USA) did and from which corporatocrats there will profit. I have to be frank here. If this thing happens, it will wreck my life pretty seriously and I am rather sure I did nothing at all to deserve having something like this being done to me. Please tell is there something practical that I can do to avoid this terrible thing that is about to happend to me (WF not allowing me to read it's previously "free" articles)? I mean I know about the right to close WP and the right to fork and that WF doesn't owe anyone anything, but I would have hoped us readers amongst ourselves and the WF have become firends and friends don't do this to one another. SOFT blanks I understand, even a 2-day complete block just for the US I understand, but what could I possibly do to avoid this being done to me, on the suggestion of you and others? I am not represented by anyone in the US congress... They can ban me, do anything they like but I am going to pester you with this question till I get an answer: what did I do to deserve this being done to me and what can I do to stop it (realistically)? Or are people like you just sadistic to defenseles fellow users? 79.112.59.92 (talk) 23:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
