Yikes - Arabic anti-gay propaganda

Looks like Nicilosi’s tentacles have spread far and wide. Check out this piece of propaganda doing the rounds on Arabic twitter (it has pretty good production value too). Sxologist (talk) 21:56, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's sad to see. They sure did make it look slick, but of course it's all long-refuted distortions. While Wikipedia can be flawed, it has vastly better capability than Twitter and YouTube to present the best sources to its audience, and I'm glad to be playing a part in that.

Talk:Age of consent reform

I have replied to your last post here. Please respond when you have the time. Thank you. Helper201 (talk) 06:56, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I stand by what I said about keeping it brief. More there. Crossroads -talk- 16:22, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Genetic literacy project

I don't intend to become involved in the dispute on this article, but I recommend reading the discussion here, particularly the comments from LiteratureGeek and from ArbCom member DGG. If ArbCom did nothing to address the behavioral issues discussed there, I had wondered whether these issues would eventually spread to other topics, and that seems to be happening now on the genetic literacy project article. I still think that ArbCom probably will have to intervene at some point, especially after AE referred the case to ArbCom but ArbCom declined to accept it. Whether or not you agree with that, you should be aware of this background. 2600:1004:B111:806B:2145:933D:AAD5:DA15 (talk) 11:28, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Trivers and Jeffrey Epstein

Prior to today, there was nothing on Robert Triver's page about Jeffrey Epstein. I edited his page today to correct that, citing only his blog on his personal website. Yet it was deleted twice. The first time, I though that the problem was that I did not inclide a citation after each sentence. The second time, even when I included a citation after each sentence, what I wrote was still deleted. Nothing I wrote was inaccurate. What is the problem?

As I said in my edit summary reverting you the first time, Lacks WP:RS. Don't cite blogs and definitely do not cite Twitter. As it says at WP:RS, Never use self-published sources as independent sources about living people, even if the author is an expert, well-known professional researcher, or writer. And regarding your drawing attention to posts on Trivers' blog, note this: Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on reliable secondary sources, i.e., a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere. Selectively looking through WP:Primary sources for scandal, quoting the bad things Trivers said in the past from his blog post, [1] and ignoring the purpose of the post, to defend himself, [2] is not appropriate under WP:BLP.

Dear Crossroads if you going to continue to abuse Wikipedia rules and policies I will have to complain about you. Please, read definition of an organization before making false and misleading claims. AceRebel (talk) 00:03, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
