Lock on Gamergate

It's now been over a week since the lock was imposed on the talk page. Are there plans to rescind it at any point in time? I am totally locked out of the discussion, as any attempt to ask other editors to post responses from me to my pings would almost certainly get me pulled up before ANI as a suspected meatpuppet.192.249.47.186 (talk) 16:12, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

So since you are not a meat puppet what draws you to this topic area? How did you learn the terms meat puppet and ANI? Chillum 16:16, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

You can easily check my edit history, and my past conversations with HJ Mitchell. I've not made any effort to obscure this. I have my own reasons for editing from my IP rather than my account, and they predate Gamergate.

As for what drew me to the topic area -- (1) I heard about the topic, (2) I like to read japanese-pop-culture articles, and noticed that prominent editor Ryulong was getting into some wikidrama. When I see people mentioning other articles, I click the link and investigate, because I am by nature a curious person. I think a quick skim of my contributions to that talk page should make it very clear that I wasn't being disruptive, or soapboxing, or sealioning, etc. As Dreadstar has previously clarified to me, no IPs had been recently disruptive on that page, and the lock was in response to disruption on another article.192.249.47.186 (talk) 18:14, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Evil-disposed listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Evil-disposed. Since you had some involvement with the Evil-disposed redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
