Just wanna say

I love that you edit the Dresden Files pages. So cool, always nice to find fellow fans.192.249.47.186 (talk) 23:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it is! I was always more a fan of classic fantasy than urban fantasy, but the Dresden Files (and a couple others) have definitely made me appreciate it. Plus, it's always nice reading a series set in your home city. AtomsOrSystems (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gamergate alert

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, (a) GamerGate, (b) any gender-related dispute or controversy, (c) people associated with (a) or (b), all broadly construed., a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics.

I've walked into the middle of a minefield with the hope of drawing a map on the way out, got it. ;) AtomsOrSystems (talk) 04:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not really that bad, honestly. Just be considerate towards other editors, and it should be fine. --TS 23:11, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I figured. My snark doesn't have much chance to express itself on Wikipedia, I suppose I just let it off the leash for a moment. Thank for coming back to clarify, though! AtomsOrSystems (talk) 00:31, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Can't reply on talk page, so

I feel that "Some of the people using the hashtag have said that their goal" is a mouthful and doesn't sound professional. It should either be rephrased to "Those using the hashtage have defined their goal as" or "Supporters of the movement have defined their goal as". I'm not really sure how it can be controversial that the users of the hashtag support the movement -- that's what the hashtag is for, and that's generally how they discriminate between "actions in GG's name" and those without (well, that and whether the action is good PR or not). I'm also fairly confident that most of the RS acknowledge the claim that "Gamergate is actually about ethics in gaming journalism", though I can dredge them up if this is in dispute.

Not sure what you meant about my "forgetting to change to prominent" -- the article already uses "prominent", and I wanted to change that as it gives the false connotation that the list is merely naming the famous victims of Gamergate, rather than the main victims of Gamergate.192.249.47.186 (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
