Page Curation update

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Don't change what I do to a page EVER AGAIN! Please and thank you.

WikiIndaba and Wikipedian in Residence Notice

Dear Wikipelli

As a Wikipedian interested in African subjects and specifically Malawi, I would like you to be aware of the following two opportunities:

1. Wikimedia South Africa and WikiAfrica are organising an WikiIndaba for February 2014 – a continental meeting for Africa-based Wikipedians to get together, discuss challenges and drive the agenda for Wikipedia from Africa. If you support this initiative, then please sign up on this site: http://wikiindaba.net – we also want to hear what you want the Wiki Indaba to achieve. What are your expectations? What does it need to include? Who and what do you want to see happen at WikiIndaba? What is your area of interest? Languages? Data? Please share your ideas and thoughts on the Community Portal

2. WikiAfrica is looking for a Wikipedian in Residence from Malawi. This might be a position that you would consider. Or it could be the perfect opportunity for someone you know from Malawi, please spread the word! For more details, please look at this page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/wikipedian-in-residence-malawi

If you have any questions about either of the above, please contact isla on isla [at] wikiafrica [dot] net : Isla Haddow (talk)

Lee marvin correction.

Hi Wikipell. Thanks for correcting my error on Lee Marvin, you got there before I did when I had realised my faux pas .

Medieval Russia & NPOV

Medieval Russia was known for its tolerance towards homosexuality and how widespread it was. As well as other forms of homosexuality, pederasty was very common. The beardless youth was seen as an alternative to women, and shaving was seen as an invitation to sodomy for men. The banyas, traditional Russian-style bath houses in particular were places where men would go and have sex with teenage boys who worked there and beat the men with birch branches, and rubbed their backs.[70] Later on, from the 18th century onwards, the bath houses still thrived and cadet schools and the Page Corps and Imperial School of Jurisprudence were hotbeds of homosexual activity between the boys. Russia's laws were very lenient compared to those of Western Europe in that homosexuality was made illegal for soldiers at the beginning of the 18th century and was made illegal for the rest of society in the 1830s and even then, the new laws were not strictly enforced, and at the end of the 19th century, St. Petersburg had a thriving gay scene.

The foregoing is an example of how modern gay propaganda deliberately misrepresents historical facts to justify pederasty and tries to portray homosexuality as being a behavioural norm.

"not adhering to neutral point of view"

OK. But phrases like "The banyas, traditional Russian-style bath houses in particular were places where men would go and have sex with teenage boys who worked there and beat the men with birch branches, and rubbed their backs.[70]" looks like some porn fantasy. Is it adhering to neutral point of view? Is it encyclopedia or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.221.194.202 (talk) 19:46, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice the citation at the end of the line you quoted (indicated by the #70?) That is a link to a citation verifying the statement. I can't access the link because I'm in a school right now and the site is blocked, but since it IS cited, it is therefore not the editor's opinion.
Your comment, on the other hand, is your opinion and editorializing on the text that you were editing. I don't know or care whether your opinion is right or wrong in this instance. Your edit was reverted simply because you were stating your opinion in the body of the article. If you have issues with the content, the best thing to do is to state them on the article's talk page. Then, other editors can respond and perhaps a change in the article can be made - as long as there is consensus.
In short, yes, it is an encyclopedia, and, like other encyclopedias, does not include rebuttal in the text.Wikipelli Talk 19:58, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit you reverted at Legal education in India

I don't think that was meant to be constructive but to add barandbench.com/ - all of his edits to. My wife is calling me to watch tv, so I don't have time to do anything right now. Dougweller (talk) 18:35, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
