I literally have a lump in my throat right now. I really needed that - thank you!!

I saw, after the fact, what you'd been dealing with, and I really admire your tenacity and care about doing the right thing for the encyclopedia.

Thank you so much, Fiamh! I am very happy to hear this. I'm going to continue editing the article following your instructions - I still have some more OCLC numbers to add to sources and have found a contemporary journal article that can be used as a source instead of Leininger & LeRoy's first-person account.

DYK for Fred Sargeant

On 16 July 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fred Sargeant, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Fred Sargeant was one of the gay rights activists who proposed the first Christopher Street Liberation Day—now the NYC Pride March—to commemorate the Stonewall riots? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fred Sargeant. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Fred Sargeant), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I. W. Cornwall

I notice you reverted my correction on the Carnegie Medal page. I can see there's some confusion in the sources, but the I. W. Cornwall article gives Wolfran following the Dictionary of International Biography and The International Authors and Writer's Who's Who.

Lesbian and Gay News

You discussed the reliability of Lesbian and Gay News at Talk:Equality Act (United States). Because of this, and because I came across it on my own beforehand, I opened a discussion at WP:RSN.

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. — Newslinger talk 01:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Newslinger Thanks, but I've only edited one article that could be described as being part of post-1992 politics and you don't seem to have sent this notice to any of the other editors there, including one who repeatedly vandalized the page with unsourced personal opinions this week. May I ask why only I received this? I did see your comment on the Reliable sources page disagreeing with my view that Lesbian & Gay News is more reliable than Pink News. Lilipo25 (talk) 02:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Lilipo25, the above message is a standard notice issued to editors who demonstrate interest in a controversial topic area. I sent you this notice after the consensus in WP:RSN § Lesbian and Gay News trended toward a rejection of the source you advocated for in Special:Diff/1009202089. In your case, the Equality Act (United States) article is covered under special rules (discretionary sanctions on post-1992 politics and gender and sexuality) mentioned near the top of Talk:Equality Act (United States). Many editors editing controversial topic areas receive a notice about once per year for each topic area, and anyone can send another editor a notice of this type. Please be aware of the rules, but beyond that, there is no action needed on your behalf. — Newslinger talk 03:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

If you would like to opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions at {{Ds/aware}} to place an awareness banner on this page. — Newslinger talk 03:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Swagsevo, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. — Newslinger talk 05:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Open Letter: Goodbye

March 1, 2021:

I have been threatened with the release of what is apparently "personal information" about me that an admin (Newslinger) says they received in a "report" sent by email from another Wikipedia editor whom they won't name (nor will they say what is in this report), in retaliation for having expressed radical feminist views regarding a publication on the Reliable Sources board this morning. I am told by this admin that revealing my information is permitted under a Wikipedia policy called the "Policy on the Posting of Personal Information" [1], although I have not committed any of the infractions listed there (COI, harassment, paid editing or violation of the child protection policy). Nor have I committed sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry, which they also say it covers.

This is a frightening and violating threat and it has made me physically ill, so I am quitting Wikipedia as soon as the current sockpuppet investigation which that same admin opened against me today is completed, as I believe my name deserves to be cleared and suspect the SPI would stop if I delete first (As I said, I have never had a sockpuppet account on Wikipedia, nor have I committed meatpuppetry). I tried to make articles less biased toward women and women's rights during the two years I was here. I largely failed and a certain contingent of editors will surely be happy to see me go, but I am sad to be leaving and see what work I was able to accomplish be undone.

I don't know which editor accessed my personal information or compiled a report about it and sent it to an admin, so I am not accusing anyone in particular of that, but I have seen many radical feminists doxxed and threatened with everything from rape to death when their personal information was released, and I can't take that chance. Whoever did it wins. Good luck to the two admins, who although I frequently disagreed with them, did try very hard to remain as fair and impartial as they could. Sorry for all the times I made your jobs difficult, El C and Girth Summit. Lilipo25 (talk) 11:15, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

lilipo25

As an editor who came in contact with you in your early editing days to Authors Cricket Club I would be distressed if the project were to lose your valuable skills. Your trying to make articles move in a direction may be too hopeful when kicking against the pricks. Some of us just move to different areas to edit when such difficulties arise. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 12:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, SovalValtos. Your comment means a lot and I appreciate it, but this is too much. It's hard enough for women editors here when the bullies are just other users. When they're admins making threats involving my personal life, there's no hope of fighting it. Thank you for always being a voice of reason and calm in a sea of turmoil, and good luck to you. Lilipo25 (talk) 16:32, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Posting here, as you rightly point out this has nothing to do with the SPI. I am not a member of any "group" on- or off-Wikipedia, formal or informal, that is in any way concerned with WP. Despite your participation in an attempt to have me -banned, and your "radical feminist"/"gender critical" views, which are the polar opposite of my own on transgender-related issues, I have no particular beef with you. And FWIW, I don't think you've been socking. But claims that you're one of the last feminists left on Wikipedia are so wide of the mark it's not funny. Ironically, the only WP editors I happen to know IRL are all female, and all feminists. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 13:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Your nasty personal attacks on me have been endless, right up to the completely irrelevant one you posted in the SPI hours ago. You have more than a "beef" with me. And yes, I posted in a suggestion that you be TOPIC banned. You should be, as your edits are biased and you constantly ignore the results of discussions and just make the edits you want anyway. Your opinion of feminism is of absolutely ZERO interest to me, as you aren't qualified to make any judgments there. Now get off my Talk Page and leave me alone, Bastun.
