Reply, comment

You've received a reply here: [1] to your query about editing Campus rape.

If you need assistance with figuring on how things work around here, I'd suggest WP:TEAHOUSE is a good place to ask questions. As a general rule, if you go slowly, don't take things too personally and talk things out it'll go fine. Briefly if someone reverts or modifies your edit(s) you discuss at Talk:Campus Rape, and anything that's possibly controversial should be backed by reliable sources ("RS" in Wiki-ese). That should get you started -- it's easiest and best to learn "the rules" as you need them rather than fretting you'll "do something wrong." ("Be bold!" is another classic wiki-ism).

Next tip

Squiggleslash removed their own comment: [2]. Obviously I can't speak for them but you could ask them their reasoning on their talk page. To find this type of thing just click on the "View History" tab on the page. NE Ent 00:02, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the support and the thanks

I'm not reverting my deleted comment because of two reasons: to be honest none of the responses, until yours, apparently understood it, and I'm increasingly aware I say (what I think is) one thing, and everyone interprets it differently. I can't tell if it's me or them, but when it's multiple them it's probably me. Still, compared to a certain admin's interpretation of Berstein's topic ban clarification request, I guess I'm in good company.

The other reason is that one immediate response was from someone who very obviously thought "I don't know this editor, he's not saying something I agree with, can I find a reason to get him banned?"

So... sorry not to be much help. I don't think I'm much good at it. I wish you the best with the article. I think MB can help you even while topic banned as long as he doesn't edit the article itself or communicate with you over Wikipedia's pages (User Talk: or whatever) so you should be OK. And yeah, I think it's utterly bizarre that a huge number of admins are implying they think that people may disagree about whether a violent sexual attack is A-OK if it's done on a University Campus (I know, I know, that isn't literally what they believe, but I feel that's the implication of the decision). I know such an attack in the context of marriage was once controversial, and might still be however horrific that sounds, but on a campus? Bizarre. --Squiggleslash (talk) 15:08, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the nice comment. I guess I'll keep sort of trying :) I wish you the best of luck, the more I delve into how Wikipedia responded to the current onslaught of misogynist slime the more depressed I get... --Squiggleslash (talk) 17:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
